[This analysis was written for the Unz Review]
Assuming mankind finds a way not to destroy itself in the near future and assuming that there will still be historians in the 22nd or 23rd centuries, I bet you that they will look at the AngloZionist Empire and see the four following characteristics as some of its core features: lies, willful ignorance, hypocrisy, and hysterics. To illustrate my point I will use the recent “Skripal nerve-gas assassination” story as it really encompasses all of these characteristics.
I won’t even bother debunking the official nonsense here as others have done a very good job of pointing out the idiocy of the official narrative. If you are truly capable of believing that “Putin” (that is the current collective designator for the Evil Empire of Mordor currently threatening all of western civilization) would order the murder of a man whom a Russian military court sentenced to only 13 years in jail (as opposed to life or death) and who was subsequently released as part of a swap with the USA, you can stop reading right now and go back to watching TV. I personally have neither the energy nor the inclination to even discuss such a self-evidently absurd theory. No, what I do want to do is use this story as a perfect illustration of the kind of society we now all live in looked at from a moral point of view. I realize that we live in a largely value-free society where moral norms have been replaced by ideological orthodoxy, but that is just one more reason for me to write about what is taking place precisely focusing on the moral dimensions of current events.
Lies and the unapologetic denial of reality:
In a 2015 article entitled “A society of sexually frustrated Pinocchios” I wrote the following:
I see a direct cause and effect relationship between the denial of moral reality and the denial of physical reality. I can’t prove that, of course, but here is my thesis: Almost from day one, the early western civilization began by, shall we say, taking liberties with the truth, which it could bend, adapt, massage and repackage to serve the ideological agenda of the day. It was not quite the full-blown and unapologetic relativism of the 19th century yet, but it was an important first step. With “principles” such as the end justifies the means and the wholesale violation of the Ten Commandants all “for the greater glory of God” the western civilization got cozy with the idea that there was no real, objective truth, only the subjective perception or even representation each person might have thereof. Fast forward another 10 centuries or so and we end up with the modern “Gayropa” (as Europe is now often referred to in Russia): not only has God been declared ‘dead’ and all notions of right and wrong dismissed as “cultural”, but even objective reality has now been rendered contingent upon political expediency and ideological imperatives.
I went on to quote George Orwell by reminding how he defined “doublethink” in his book 1984:
“To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which canceled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it (…) To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just as long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality“
and I concluded by saying that “The necessary corollary from this state of mind is that only appearances matter, not reality”.
This is exactly what we are observing; not only in the silly Skripal nerve-gas assassination story but also in all the rest of the Russophobic nonsense produced by the AngloZionist propaganda machine including the “Litvinenko polonium murder” and the “Yushchenko dioxin poisoning“. The fact that neither nerve-gas, nor polonium nor dioxin are in any way effective murder weapons does not matter in the least: a simple drive-by shooting, street-stabbing or, better, any “accident” is both easier to arrange and impossible to trace. Fancy assassination methods are used when access to the target is very hard or impossible (as was the case with Ibn al-Khattab, whose assassination the Russians were more than happy to take credit for; this might also have been the case with the death of Yasser Arafat). But the best way of murdering somebody is to simply make the body disappear, making any subsequent investigation almost impossible. Finally, you can always subcontract the assassination to somebody else like, for example, when the CIA tried and failed, to murder Grand Ayatollah Mohammad Hussain Fadlallah by subcontracting his bombing to its local “Christian” allies, killing over 80 innocent people in the process. There is plenty of common crime in the UK and to get somebody to rob and stab Skripal would have probably been the easiest version. That’s assuming that the Russians had any reason to want him dead, which they self-evidently didn’t.
But here is the important thing: every single criminal or intelligence specialist in the West understands all of the above. But that does not stop the Ziomedia from publishing articles like this one “A Brief History of Attempted Russian Assassinations by Poison” which also lists people poisoned by Russians:
- Skripal by nerve gas
- Litvinenko by polonium
- Kara-Murza poisoned not once, but TWICE, by an unknown poison, he survived!
- Markov poisoned by ricin and the Bulgarians with “speculated KGB assistance”
- Khattab by sarin or a sarin-derivative
- Yushchenko by dioxin
- Perepilichny by “a rare, toxic flower, gelsemium” (I kid you not, check the article!)
- Moskalenko by mercury
- Politkovskaya who was shot, but who once felt “ill after drinking some tea that she believed contained poison”
The only possible conclusion from this list is this: there is some kind of secret lab in Russia where completely incompetent chemists try every poison known to man, not on rats or on mice, but on high profile AngloZionist-supported political activists, preferably before an important political event.
Right.
By the way, the gas allegedly used in the attack, “Novichok”, was manufactured in Uzbekistan and the cleanup of the factory producing it was made by, you guessed it, a US company. Just saying…
In any halfway honest and halfway educated society, those kind of articles should result in the idiot writing it being summarily fired for gross incompetence and the paper/journal posting it being discredited forever. But in our world, the clown who wrote that nonsense (Elias Groll, a Harvard graduate and – listen to this – a specialist of “cyberspace and its conflicts and controversies” (sic)) is a staff writer of the award-winning Foreign Policy magazine.
So what does it tell us, and future historians, when this kind of crap is written by a staff writer of an “award winning” media outlet? Does it not show that our society has now reached a stage in its decay (I can’t call that “development”) where lies become the norm? Not only are even grotesque and prima facie absurd lies accepted, they are expected (if only because they reinforce the current ideological Zeitgeist. The result? Our society is now packed with first, zombified ideological drones who actually believe any type of officially proclaimed of nonsense and, second, by cowards who lack the basic courage to denounce even that which they themselves know to be false.
Lies, however ridiculous and self-evidently stupid, have become the main ingredient of the modern political discourse. Everybody knows this and nobody cares. When challenged on this, the typical defense used is always the same: “you are the only person saying this – I sure ever heard this before!”.
Willful ignorance as a universal cop-out
We all know the type. You tell somebody that his/her theory makes absolutely no sense or is not supported by facts and the reply you get is some vaguely worded refusal to engage in an disputation. Initially, you might be tempted to believe that, indeed, your interlocutor is not too bright and not too well read, but eventually you realize that there is something very different happening: the modern man actually makes a very determined effort not to be capable of logical thought and not to be informed of the basic facts of the case. And what is true for specific individuals is even more true of our society as a whole. Let’s take one simple example: Operation Gladio:
“Gladio” is really an open secret by now. Excellent books and videos have been written about this and even the BBC has made a two and a half hour long video about it. There is even an entire website dedicated to the story of this huge, continent-wide, terrorist organization specializing in false flag operations. That’s right: a NATO-run terrorist network in western Europe involved in false flag massacres like the infamous Bologna train station bombing. No, not the Soviet KGB backing the Baader-Meinhof Red Army Faction or the Red Brigades in Italy. No, the USA and West European governments organizing, funding and operating a terrorist network directed at the people of Western, not Eastern, Europe. Yes, at their own people! In theory, everybody should know about this, the information is available everywhere, even on the hyper-politically correct Wikipedia. But, again, nobody cares.
The end of the Cold War was marked by a seemingly endless series of events which all provided a pretext for AngloZionist interventions (from the Markale massacres in Bosnia, to the Srebrenica “genocide”, to the Racak massacre Kosovo, to the “best” and biggest one of them all, 9/11 of course). Yet almost nobody wondered if the same people or, at least, the same kind of people who committed all the Gladio crimes might be involved. Quite the opposite: each one of these events was accompanied by a huge propaganda campaign mindlessly endorsing and even promoting the official narrative, even when it self-evidently made no sense whatsoever (like 2 aircraft burning down 3 steel towers). As for Gladio, it was conveniently “forgotten”.
There is a simple principle in psychology, including, and especially in criminal psychology which I would like to prominently restate here:
The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior
Every criminalist knows that and this is why criminal investigators place so much importance on the “modus operandi”, i.e. the particular way or method a suspect or a criminal chooses in the course of the execution of his/her crimes. That is also something which everybody knows. So let’s summarize this in a simple thesis:
Western regimes have a long and well-established track record of regularly executing bloody false-flag operations in pursuit of political objectives, especially those providing them with a pretext to justify an illegal military aggression.
Frankly, I submit that the thesis above is really established not only by a preponderance of evidence but beyond a reasonable doubt. Right?
Maybe. But that is also completely irrelevant because nobody gives a damn! Not the reporters who lie for a living nor, even less so, the brainwashed zombies who read their nonsense and take it seriously. The CIA tried to kill Fidel Castro over 600 times – who cares?! All we know is that the good folks at Langley would never, ever, kill a Russian in the UK, out of respect for international law, probably…
That willful ignorance easily defeats history, facts or logic.
Here is a simple question a journalist could ask: “would the type of people who had no problems blowing up an large train station, or bringing down three buildings in downtown New York, have any hesitation in using a goofy method to try kill a useless Russian ex-spy if that could justify further hostile actions against a country which they desperately need to demonize to justify and preserve the current AngloZionist world order?”. The answer I think is self-evident. The question shall therefore not be asked. Instead, soy-boys from Foreign Policy mag will tell us about how the Russians use exotic flowers to kill high visibility opponents whose death would serve no conceivable political goal.
Hypocrisy as a core attribute of the modern man
Willful ignorance is important, of course, but it is not enough. For one thing, being ignorant, while useful to dismiss a fact-based and/or logical argument, is not something useful to establish your moral superiority or the legality of your actions. Empire requires much more than just obedience from its subject: what is also absolutely indispensable is a very strong sense of superiority which can be relied upon when committing a hostile action against the other guy. And nothing is as solid a foundation for a sense of superiority than the unapologetic reliance on brazen hypocrisy. Let’s take a fresh example: the latest US threats to attack Syria (again).
Irrespective of the fact that the USA themselves have certified Syria free of chemical weapons and irrespective of the fact that US officials are still saying that they have no evidence that the Syrian government was involved in any chemical attack on Khan Shaykhun, the USA is now preparing to strike Syria again in “response” to future chemical attacks! Yes, you read that right. The AngloZionists are now announcing their false flags in advance! In fact, by the time this analysis is published the attack will probably already have occurred. The “best” part of this all is that Nikki Haley has now announced to the UN Security Council that the US will act without any UN Security Council approval. What the USA is declaring is this: “we reserve the right to violate international law at any time and for any reason we deem sufficient”. In the very same statement, Nikki Haley also called the Syrian government an “outlaw regime”. This is not a joke, check it out for yourself. The reaction in “democratic” Europe: declaring that *Russia* (not the US) is a rogue state. QED.
This entire circus is only made possible by the fact that the western elites have all turned into “great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies” (to use the wonderful words of Boris Johnson) and that absolutely nobody has the courage, or decency, to call all this what it really is: an obscene display of total hypocrisy and wholesale violation of all norms of international law. The French philosopher Alain Soral is quite right when he says that modern “journalists are either unemployed or prostitutes” (he spoke about the French media – un journaliste français c’est soit une pute soit un chômeur – but this fully applies to all the western media). Except that I would extend it to the entire Western Establishment.
I would further argue that foreign aggression and hypocrisy have become the two essential pillars for the survival of the AngloZionist empire: the first one being an economic and political imperative, the 2nd one being the prerequisite for the public justification of the first one. But sometimes even that is not enough, especially when the lies are self-evidently absurd. Then the final, quasi-miraculous element is always brought in: hysterics.
Hysteria as the highest form of (pseudo-)liberalism
I don’t particularly care for the distinction usually made between liberals and conservatives, at least not unless the context and these terms is carefully and accurately defined. I certainly don’t place myself on that continuum nor do find it analytically helpful.
The theoretical meaning of these concepts is, however, quite different from what is mostly understood under these labels, especially when people use them to identify themselves. That is to say that while I am not at all sure that those who think of themselves as, say, liberals are in any way truly liberal, I do think that people who would identify themselves as “liberals” often (mostly?) share a number of characteristics, the foremost of which is a very strong propensity to function at, and engage in, an hysterical mode of discourse and action.
The Google definition of hysteria is “exaggerated or uncontrollable emotion or excitement, especially among a group of people (…) whose symptoms include conversion of psychological stress into physical symptoms (somatization), selective amnesia, shallow volatile emotions, and overdramatic or attention-seeking behavior”. Is that not a perfect description of US politicians, especially the (putatively) “liberal” ones? Just think of the way US Democrats have capitalized on such (non-)issues as “Russian interference” (externally) or “gun control” (internally) and you will see that the so-called “liberals” never get off a high-emotional pitch. The best example of all, really, is their reaction to the election of Donald Trump instead of their cult-leader Hillary: it has been over a year since Trump has been elected and yet the liberal ziomedia and its consumers are still in full-blown hysteria mode (with “pussyhats”, “sky-screams” and all). In a conversation you can literally drown such a liberal with facts, statistics, expert testimonies, etc. and achieve absolutely no result whatsoever because the liberal lives in an ideological comfort zone which he/she is categorically unwilling and, in fact, unable, to abandon, even temporarily. This is what makes liberals such a *perfect* audience for false-flag operations: they simply won’t process the narrative presented to them in a logical manner but will immediately react to it in a strongly emotional manner, usually with the urge to immediately “do something”.
That “do something” is usually expressed in the application of violence (externally) and the imposition of bans/restrictions/regulations (internally). You can try to explain to that liberal that the very last thing the Russians would ever want to do is to use a stupid method to try to kill a person who is of absolutely no interest to them, or to explain to that liberal that the very last thing the Syrian government would ever do in the course of its successful liberation of its national territory from “good terrorists” would be to use chemical weapons of any kind – but you would never achieve anything: Trump must be impeached, the Russians sanctioned and the Syrians bombed, end of argument.
I am quite aware that there are a lot of self-described “conservatives” who have fully joined this chorus of hysterical liberals in all their demands, but these “conservatives” are not only acting out of character, they are simply caving in to the social pressure of the day, being the “great supine protoplasmic invertebrate jellies” mentioned above. Again, I am not discussing real liberals or real conservatives here (regardless of what these terms really mean), I am talking about those who, for whatever reason, chose to place that label upon themselves even if they personally have only a very vague idea of what this label is supposed to mean.
So there we have it: an Empire built (and maintained) on lies, accepted on the basis ignorance, justified by hypocrisy and energized by hysterics. This is what the “Western world” stands for nowadays. And while there is definitely a vocal minority of “resisters” (from the Left and the Right – also two categories I don’t find analytically helpful – and from many other schools of political thought), the sad reality is that the vast majority of people around us accept this and see no reason to denounce it, nevermind doing something about it. That is why “they” got away with 9/11 and why “they” will continue to get away with future false-flags because the people lied to, realize, at least on some level, that they are being lied to and yet they simply don’t care. Truly, the Orwellian slogans of 1984 “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength” perfectly fit our world. However, when dealing with the proverbial Russian bear, there is one lesson of history which western leaders really should never forget and which they should also turn into a slogan: when dealing with a bear, hubris is suicidal.

Those recent tariffs that Trump introduced on steel and aluminum were brought in under the banner of ‘national security.’ Is this blackmail? (“Trade wars are good,” says Trump.) Be a proper ally or receive some economic punishment??

The evilness of the west (NATO) is unsurpassed in history at this moment. This makes Hitler and Napoleon
look like choir angels. Russia, make sure you are armed to your teeth. History repeats itself.
There are a lot of eery, creepy events happening in the world today as never before.
Sheeple….open your eyes and brain.
Crippling effect and reflective piece.
OMG!
The summation, so damnably accurate (crushingly):
It’s a little depressing.
There must be a way to enable perception of the … ridiculous is too soft a word, the perverse … stories, pedaled by the propaganda/perception management agencies (MSM)!
Please comment on methods to enable perception of the masses.
False-flag op.
West-friendly Russians living in the West are worth – for the West – more dead than alive. Keeping them alive cost money. Killing them, especially in a spectacular way, provides huge returns.
But, similarly, almost the same goes for West-friendly Russians living in Russia. Those may even cost nothing to maintain, but killing them also provides huge returns. Assassiations like that of Nemtsov could well have been commissioned by the West.
By the way, Messrs. Mirzanyanov, Rodchenkov, and such like, may be looking over their shoulder more often these days.
Dear Saker, excellent article. I might be mistaken but it seemed like the anti-russian propaganda started getting hot and heavy after the Democratic National Committee accused Russia of hacking the election (whatever that means). Of course this has been proven to be a lie, but one reason for the lie was to divert attention away from the fact that this same DNC screwed Bernie Sanders out of the nomination. Some Bernie supporters cried foul and the courageous Beck Law Firm took up their cause in a class action lawsuit against the DNC. Not surprisingly, the case was dismissed by an “unbiased” judge when the DNC argued in court that “they were not legally obligated to provide the voters a fair and balanced primary”…………Well, at least they were honest about something…
One of your best essays ever! Dear Saker, you are the best!
Thanks Saker. I really enjoyed the brief moments of sanity.
I am urging people throughout the world to host Mayday Anti-war parties throughout the world on April 28th. Not exactly sky screaming, but combatting Pentagon propaganda.
Things are just as crazy in fly-over country as they are on the coasts and in DC.

The Saker says that the reason “they” get away with these false flags is that people simply don’t care or they engage in doublethink. That is true, but I think it’s also important to mention that there are far more truly stupid people on the planet than most of us realize because we ourselves don’t typically run into them in the course of our daily conversations. After all, we tend to have a type of “confirmation bias” when choosing our friends just as much as when we choose what we want to believe.
That said, i have run into many otherwise intelligent people who swallow these lies whole. The author notes that for some, a lack of moral courage explains their behavior. Again that is true, but none of it would be possible without an Orwellian stranglehold on the news media. Goebbels once said that “of course you can get the people to believe whatever you want”, and he was right so long as you maintain a near-monopoly on the information stream. Almost all western media is owned by Zionists. Thus, the vast majority of people only get a Zionist perspective on events.
Very few people are on websites like this one trying to dig for more information, either because they have no time or energy to do so, or because in the words of Jack Nicholson, “they can’t handle the truth”.
We tend to think, because we ourselves are independent thinkers who seek the truth no matter the consequences, that this describes the majority of most intelligent folks. Alas, that isn’t the case. Most folks of whatever level of intelligence have their plates full just conducting their normal routine and are only too happy to eat whatever happy horses hit the media spoon feeds them if only because it relieves them of the responsibility to think for themselves. Thinking independently requires time and energy, and at the end of a long day of slaving away on the debt farm we call a “free market” economy, most are simply too worn out to diligently seek the truth. OTOH, turning on MSNBC only requires the push of a button.
I used to believe that the Internet was truly a game-changer because it allowed for voices outside of the MSM to be heard…because sites like this one exist. I’m not so sure anymore. There are just far more sheep than I ever thought possible, and they don’t mind being led to the slaughter so long as they’re properly fed along the way and that’s the direction everyone else is going.
No, I haven’t given up, because so long as we draw breath we are required by God to fight the good fight. But sometimes, in this new world order, hope and optimism are rare commodities indeed.
Falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus. British dossier false. All else that follows false.
For some reason I don’t understand, Information Clearing House deleted this comment on your article.
The US invaded Iraq in violation of International Law to establish a bridgehead against Iran. Now Iran and Iraq are working together to eliminate the US/Saudi created ISIS.
When the rag tag group of marauders, now known as ISIS, suddenly came out of the Iraqi dessert, how convenient was it for the Iraqi army, armed and trained by the US at such a great expense to the American Taxpayer, just abandoned all the US supplied military hardware with the keys left in the ignition that gave ISIS real fighting capacity?
The so called American claim they were then bombing ISIS obviously missed the targets for a year, as ISIS only got stronger. Then the US used the growth of ISIS as the rational to bomb in Syria against all International Law. It was not until the Russians entered the Syrian WORLD WAR only in 2015, frustrating the US War Plan, did ISIS come under real fire.
Former NATO Supreme Commander, US General Wesley Clark, blew the whistle in 2007, the Pentagon/CIA came out with War Plans in 2001, just WEEKS after 9/11, to change regimes in Iraq, Libya, Syria, and at THE END, Iran. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9RC1Mepk_Sw
Republican Bush did Iraq in 2003. Democrat Obama did Libya, and started in Syria 10 years after the 2001 US War Plans were put on the table, until the Russians stopped the execution of that plan in 2015.
Trump has served notice to the World, he intends to follow those 2001 US War Plans by going after Iran these 16 years later.
At a minimum, this is circumstantial evidence there really is a Deep State pulling the strings behind the Republican/Democrat/Trumpian facade.
Personally, I think the Deep State is only the front for the Deeper State these ancient words describe.
And I saw three unclean spirits like frogs come out of the mouth of the dragon, and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of the mouth of the false prophet.(false beliefs about God in Judaism, Christianity & Islam. Written some 500 years before Islam, the 3rd arm from the Jewish religious record appeared)
For they are the spirits of DEVILS, working miracles, which go forth unto the kings of the earth (the 1%, Presidents, Prime Ministers, Senators, CEOs, and other Idols of the People) and of the whole world, (the rest of Humanity) to gather them to the Battle of that Great Day of God Almighty. (the war is already underway between Judaism, Christianity and Islam leading to the climax of that Great Day)
Behold, I come as a thief. (when you least expect it)
Blessed is he that watches, and keeps his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.
And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon.
Revelation 16:13-16
Armageddon was derived from Har Megiddo, located in Judea and Samaria of occupied Palestine 2000 years ago. Israel as a kingdom disappeared some 800 years before Jesus walked in that area during the occupation.
Har Megiddo/Armageddon still exists as a physical place in this material world, but is now under the control of temporal Israel re-created from the Bible after an absence of some 2800 years. After all those years, the occupation of Judea and Samaria in Palestine is still an unresolved, violent, open wound in the Middle East and this material world.
“[…] So there we have it: an Empire built (and maintained) on lies, accepted on the basis ignorance, justified by hypocrisy and energized by hysterics. […]”
How did Satan corrupt Eve? He didn’t force the apple into her mouth; rather, he made her do it. He talked her into defying God. He “beguiled” her (Genesis 3:13). You can say he attacked her with his mouth.
Eve had the option of not listening to Satan. She didn’t have to give him an audience. As soon as she saw where the conversation was going she could’ve said: “get out of here. I’m not listening to you, etc.”, but she instead chose to let herself be talked into it.
And Satan is a skilled liar; in fact he is not merely a liar but “the father of it” (John 8:44).
Now consider Rev 13:
“And I stood upon the sand of the sea, and saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns ten crowns, and upon his heads the name of blasphemy.
(2) And the beast which I saw was like unto a leopard, and his feet were as the feet of a bear, and his mouth as the mouth of a lion: and the dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and great authority.” (Rev 13:1,2).
So Satan gave the “beast” his “power, and his seat and great authority.”
Apparently the “authority” is a reference to his authorship (fatherhood) of lies; “his power” a reference to his supernatural ability to use lies to corrupt and manipulate people; and “his seat”, as the “god of this world” (2 Corinthians 4:4) is apparently a reference to the offer he made when he was trying to tempt Jesus. That is:
“(5) And the devil, taking him up into an high mountain, shewed unto him all the kingdoms of the world in a moment of time.
(6) And the devil said unto him, All this power will I give thee, and the glory of them: for that is delivered unto me; and to whomsoever I will I give it.
(7) If thou therefore wilt worship me, all shall be thine”. (Luke 4:5-7).”
So it seems that the first “beast” of Rev 13 is some kind of a Satanic cult that made the deal with Satan that Jesus rejected, i.e., some group of people that made the decision to knowingly, willingly and calculatingly “give worth to evil” (i.e., worship the devil) as a means of achieving unprecedented worldly power.
And John of Patmos describes some identifying features of this “beast”. For example, the beast has a “mouth, as the mouth of a lion.” This harkens back to an important implication of Genesis 3: deception requires communication. What good is it to be even the best liar in the world if you can’t get your victims’ attention? A lion roars and everyone hears it; it completely drowns out the little mouse trying to squeak out “truth”. The beast’s “mouth” is apparently a reference to the beast’s monopolistic/disproportionate control over modern mass communications, i.e., radio, TV, motion pictures (Hollywood) and the modern book, magazine and newspaper publishing industry).
Since this technology wasn’t available until the 20th century, this suggests the time frame of the beast’s rise to significant global power as the 20th century. This sheds light on some possibilities for the other descriptive features, e.g.; “feet…as the feet of a bear.” Bolshevik revolution in Russia?
But what is the beast’s ultimate goal, as Satan’s agent in the physical realm? Apparently it is the establishment of Satan’s kingdom on earth:
“(13) For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north:
(14) I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High.” (Isaiah 14:13,14).
In other words, the beast’s apparent goal is to wipe out “goodness” everywhere on earth. If the beast, acting on behalf of Satan can wipe out “good” everywhere, then there will be no more such a thing as “good”, thus there will also be no more such a thing as “evil” by comparison, so what we now know as “evil” will reign everywhere, and Satan’s “[throne will be exalted] above he stars of God.”
So the first beast of Rev 13, and its loyal puppet ruler, the second beast (office of president of the U.S.) seek to replace “good” with “evil” everywhere on earth.
Good = truth, light, order, creativity, health, life, love, etc. Evil = lies, darkness, chaos, destruction, sickness, death, depravity, etc.
But the beast has a serious problem. There is an obstacle standing between it and its goal (the forcible imposition of the Satanic, messianic, judeo-communist “New World Order” on the whole planet). And that obstacle is Mighty Russia; a powerful, Christian nation undergoing a spiritual revival. The Bear is back, and it’s starting to get a little irritated.
Yes, a brilliant analysis.
From personal experience, before the invasion of Iraq, I was the only person who would point out the inconsistencies in the ‘war party’ camp at the workplace. It was a well paid and useful job – but I was drummed out for being ‘bad for morale’. The social pressures on people to get in line with the MSM commentary is strong – particularly if they have families.
An informative book on this and more was written by Alfred Noyes, in 1942, entitled ‘The Edge of the Abyss’ He shows clearly that the moral decline into relativism began during the Great War of 1914-18.
This description is exactly correct. It does appear to me that a moral rot has existed since the founding of the U.S., and as you state, it actually started at the beginning of western civilization. We could digest the comments of an almost limitless number of ‘officials’ when they condemn other countries and leaders. Nikki Haley is a good example. With her hysterical shrieking and lies, she seems really no different than the previous U.N. ambassador, appointed by Obama. Samantha Power. What comes across so plainly is how the accusations they hurl at others, is precisely what they themselves are! This is a very deep-rooted moral depravity and I don’t think it can be removed from the national body. This is going to lead to a very dark, tragic end. Keep in mind, the U.S. has been at war for all of its history except for 20 some odd years.
There wont be a war with Russia simply because its impossible to win. They don’t have the balls to attack Iran and NK, then what to speak of nuclear superpower like Russia.
This fake accusation against Russia has many dimensions:
1. They want Russia pressured/isolated/weakened as much as possible by any means. Its full on war by all means except military.
2. UK poodles are following US orders as continuation of “hacking” scandal, which is dead now. Show must go on, right?
3. Timing is everything. Russia’s elections and 2018 FIFA World Cup are coming soon.
4. May’s political situation is pretty bad, hence the need of external enemy to divert the attention.
5. Hawks hope that Putin under extreme pressure might be more pliable to make compromises, whether its Syria, Iran, etc.
Putin is smart and knows it.
“There wont be a war with Russia simply because its impossible to win. They don’t have the balls to attack Iran and NK, then what to speak of nuclear superpower like Russia.”
I hope you’re right, but I don’t think you can assume that the Satanists will act rationally. They’re “demon-possessed”, and they’re likely to behave as per the example of Matthew 8:28-32.
I can tell from reading many comments that some people need to understand that a small percentage of people don’t have a conscience and the rest do. It’s the greatest distinction of all. Every other distinction is practically irrelevant.
Lobaczewski’s argument begins:
The vast majority of humans, who he refers to as “normal,” are genetically endowed and neurologically wired with the capacity for empathetic and just ethical behaviour.
Some humans, who he calls “pathological” (throughout this piece we will use pathological as shorthand for psychopathological), have either genetically inherited or acquired – usually through exposure to other pathological people, especially during childhood – deviations leading to psychopathy or personality disorders (or, as Lobaczewski refers to them, characteropathies). These medical disorders can affect them in a holistic way, influencing the very core of their perception, thought, character, values and conscience, and lead to a reduction in or lack of capacity for empathy and just ethical behaviour. Thus, pathological people may routinely carry out manipulative, harmful or destructive acts against others.
In any human society, the pathological will likely make up somewhere between 4 and 9% of the population.
The division between the normal and the pathological represents a profound and fundamental split within humanity.
REVIEW OF
POLITICAL PONEROLOGY:
A SCIENCE ON THE NATURE OF EVIL ADJUSTED FOR POLITICAL PURPOSES
BY ANDREW M. LOBACZEWSKI
A unique psychologist’s profound book about secret scientific studies of the nature of evil, its origins in the destructive deceptions of psychopathological people and how to best respond.

The worst chemical killer I know is Monsanto.
Beside this, your article is brilliant as usual. :)
I will take the good part on this: the zionist propaganda is so dumb that he create at least 1 generation who will hate them to death, the “believer” of this presstitute propaganda are useless, walmart-stokers only, can’t wait to see them how will perform into a war economy.
Today in ussa a brand new bridge collapses thanks to how fine there are calculated by products of thei “educational” sistem :)) https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2018-03-15/miami-pedestrian-bridge-collapses-multiple-fatalities
Useless to try to convince those idiots. Ether will kill us all from the Earth or will crush to dust like many any “invincible” empires in history.
You couldn’t answer the question, could you?
The fact of the matter is that in the “west” there is no truth, no reality. It’s all lies, all propaganda and quite frankly the truth, when it’s foisted upon the citizens of the west is branded “hateful” or a “conspiracy theory”. The people of the “west” don’t want truth, they don’t want to face reality. Facing reality, facing truth is hard, uncomfortable, it’s not something the average citizen of the “west” wants. They’re comfortable in their bubble with their TV, processed foods and steady diet of propaganda.
Very true. And what’s important to understand is that this has always been the West’s very ”moral stature”. I’ve kept my silence especially when people here on the forum try to pinpoint some ad hoc moment when everything ”started to go downhill”. This is especially true of contributors from the Exceptional and Indispensable Nation forever lamenting ”Dallas, November 22, 1963” (JFK’s murder). Sort of makes you wonder what was so great before. The Korean War? The brutal exploitation of Latin America? Jim Crow? The Indian wars?
Very scholarly profound analysis. You are absolutely on the spot. The western world is in the grip of double think. ‘The war is peace, freedom is slavery and ignorance is strength’, perfectly an Orwellian World as visualized by him decades ago. Thanks for this lovely article.
I usually don’t comment, I like to read. Though in respect to this situation I believe that the reaction we are seeing, the madness is triggered by a certain financial situation, in conjuncture with the rise of labor party popularity in Britain.
My model:
The money is running out. They are panicking. They pull out a “Racak/Srebrenica/Sarin gas/Asad evil/WMD Iraq” file out of their dusty drawer and say:”We need a war, what do we do?” May, given she is barely holding onto power said “we will take care of it”. They go and “take care of business”, consolidate power and undermine the labor party. Whilst trying to push the world into The Last War. A dangerous combination of greed and fear…the only question is what will be first, bankruptcy or The Last War.

The Economic part
1) As of January, China and Russia have dumped (dump=sold large quantities of) US treasuries, 20-ish billions. This is not as important in numbers as that these two big buyers (China is the biggest US treasury holder) are now selling off part of their inventory.
2) On top off that a process called “QE unwind” has started in conjunction with FED rate hikes – the US Treasury bought 4.4 trillion in the period of 2008 till today of treasuries (the US bought up it’s own debt essentially with dollars that it printed) and is now selling them or letting them mature. They are going for a pace of 30 billion a month for now. This pace will increase to 60 billion/month mid of this year.
3) The US deficit needs be covered by treasuries…the national debt is 1.186$ trillion increase in the last six months.
So if we add up let’s assume
China and Russia 20 billion/month
QE Unwind 0-10 billion/month
USA debt 200 billion/month
=220 billion/month
The US is running out of buyers for their junk treasuries (the value of a treasury is assessed based on it’s yield and the speed at which you can find a buyer). Distribution: China has some 1.2 trillion, Ireland 320 billion, Cayman Islands 300 billion (yes, Cayman Islands!), Saudi Arabia 140 billion, Bermuda 67 billion…

I believe the nerve gas attack blamed on Putin is almost certainly a false flag. I don’t believe anyone will use a murder weapon that can be traced directly to himself. In this case novichok – historically unique to the former USSR. I think whoever came up with this false flag is dumb to use novichok and try to pin the blame on Putin.
However, having said that, I also believe that hubris in dealing with anyone or anything is suicidal ultimately, including for the bear. Avoid hubris at all cost.
It strikes me of late that two things have been ongoing since time immemorial:
FEUDALISM – those with land, money and power are always viewed as the best people to lead us because they have what we do not, which makes them better than us, and leaders (even if elected by us) are never wrong even when they are proved to be. The days of the Lords and their Serfs are not over. Despite centuries of education and enlightenment we nevertheless cling to this dynamic in our societies. We don’t see, wilfully or otherwise, that they only have their wealth through exploitation and bullying.
PROJECT FEAR – this is the bully’s number one tool to control everyone from foreign governments to the common man on the street. Instilling fear will always get you what you want. Whether it is a mother with an unruly child or a President with a population to control, fear will always work.
As long as we continue to have Heads of State, whether they are Kings, Queens, Presidents or Prime Ministers, they will continue to use fear to control us. Until we stop giving them credit where none is due and allow them to have dominion over us the world will not change and we will continue to risk of our own demise.
The Doomsday Clock is already at 2 minutes to midnight, the closest it’s been in my lifetime. Let’s stop it reaching midnight. If we do not find a way to take back control we will only have ourselves to blame.
My dog was run over by a car.
I knew it was a Rolls Royce, although I don’t show the “proof” to anyone, not even the police.
That type of car is developed, manufactured, and produced by the UK only.
It’s obvious that the UK is behind the attempted murder of my dog, and “highly likely” the Queen ordered it.
Now, the Queen needs to prove she did not do it!!!
Brilliant article Saker, truly brilliant.
Years ago I sat through a presentation, in one of the many mandatory progressive training videos we Brits who work in the public sector have to suffer, on diversity, and the American, cat lady, harpy who was leading the workshop actually stated, ‘perception is everything’. It sat with me and slowly it dawned on me, that all the gaslighting, disingenuousness and outright lying that I’d witnessed from the Guardian reading, progressives I’d worked with over the years was the result of this moral pragmatism. As long as the lies furthers, or at least preserves, the narrative that progressive dogma insists upon, then it is morally good. Such a mindset requires that one ultimately believes they are not accountable to a higher, transcendent authority for the deception and therefore thrives in this atheistic paradigm that we find ourselves living in. This is why I now find myself at odds with modernity and question almost everything I know about what most accept as normalcy.
You taunt a bear once, and he dances; you taunt him a second time and you get another dance; you taunt him again, and…
Man, the degeneration of society and its lies goes back a long, long way. All of post-WW2
The degeneration of society and its lies goes back a long, long way. All of post-WW2 history is based on the grossest sorts of lies, but none bigger than the US denial it engaged in germ warfare during the Korean War.
