Suddenly, Covid has all but disappeared. Without even a day to relax, the next crisis has been thrust upon us (and significantly so for the Ukrainian people). Russia has begun it’s invasion of Ukraine but despite it’s tactical advantages and much bigger military power, the Ukrainians seem to have held their ground for now and even won a few minor battles.
So what is going on?
Russia’s elites have not suddenly decided to go it alone, they are part of the globalist cabal as much as any of the other Western elites are. Putin is a former young leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF), he regularly meets with his friend Henry Kissinger and Russia joined the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Network (part of the WEF) last year.
I have seen many suggestions so far, as to what is going on, including:
Putin is physically ill, a megalomaniac and wants to strengthen Russia before he dies (this is the most dangerous suggestion as it means he will do anything to achieve his goals).
Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them.
US biolabs in Ukraine, researching emerging viruses, have been targeted.
It is all theatre, hence why Ukraine isn’t in Russian hand’s already, a cover story to hide Covid/vaccine bad news or an excuse for global financial/energy problems.
Is it a coincidence that Covid was rapidly deescalated, across the globe (save for a few countries such as Canada) in a matter of weeks, going from a potential Christmas lockdown to living with the virus?
Once again, the wisdom of the crowds may give us a glimpse at the real story, so what do you think is happening and what are your predictions for the next few months? Will we see Western troops on the ground or will this fizzle out when a new variant comes around?
This is a place to discuss all ideas without being called a traitor for not saying Putin is evil and we need military action now.

I'm of the opinion that this is an orchestrated distraction while the other efforts to continue pushing for a passport continues on while everyone is looking over there. I'm imagining two people slap-fighting each other for a show, albeit at the cost of some "collateral damage" of Ukrainian lives. For people who have helped facilitate the killing of many people with COVID and witholding information that would save their lives with more effective therapeutics, they see this as a minor sacrifice in their march toward the great reset.
Totally agree with you. Behind the scenes they continue with global vaxx pass, hiding the vaxx deaths, keep on suppressing IVM , normalise restrictions ...
Please stay vigilant and keep on pushing back. The digital vaxx-pass and CBDC is the long game
Unlikely. Ukraine has been a festering boil on Russia's side for many years. The boil had to be lanced and despite what we are being told, Russia is doing that job quickly and as humanely as possible.
Could you elaborate more on this? I'm not familiar with the historical/cultural background that might need to be "lanced". I'm very tangentially aware that we've put the Ukrainian folks in a no-win situation in a power struggle between two sides (US and Russia). I see this being a convenient posturing by Biden to show SOME success when he's suffered badly at home.
Not really possible to condense the goings on in Ukraine into one post. I'll just mention that the US fomented and funded a coup in the Ukraine back in 2014. Since then the US has controlled Ukraine's governments and has all done all this as a way of destabilising Russia. For its part in these US war games Ukraine has lost Crimea, will also lose Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts and possibly much more besides. Thank you Washington, a job well done.
Thank you. Since your prior post, I began to learn of this (mostly through the Glenn Greenwald video - which is excellent, btw. link posted many times by others)
I subscribe more to el gato malo's View that the elites are so removed from everyday life that they no longer know how any economy (national and global) works. For them water comes through the taps and lights come on at the flip of a switch by magic.
That's why they could do easily cripple the lives and livelihoods of millions with lockdowns and only allowing "essential" workers to keep working.
It will be the same muddled thinking at play with sanctions (though they seem to be slowly waking up to how interconnected things are). So they suggest kicking Russia out of SWIFT (that will hurt of course but eventually encourage alternatives to SWIFT and the unravelling of US Dollar dominance in the long term), restricting Russian energy exports (that will only increase energy prices and through that send inflation into hyperdrive; they now seem to realise this as they talk about sanctions that won't affect energy flows), restricting sales of microchips to Russia (though given that Russia is a major producer of rare earth's that are needed to make those microchips in the first place and that Russia and Ukraine together are integral in producing 90% of the neon gas that is used in the US for producing microchips we will have to see how that idea will work in practice) and banning Russian airlines (with Russia then banning their airlines from flying over Russia; which makes those airlines face increased costs in an industry where margins were already razor thin as flying around Russia makes flight times longer, uses more fuel, puts more pressure on pilots and means that non-sanctioned Western airlines now have a competitive advantage - if you are flying Dublin to Seoul and your choices are Air France at X hours and Y euros but BA at X+3 hours and Y+200 euros which one are you really going to pick?)
I would say muddled overall thinking and short-term political calculations go hand-in-hand. Specialists have taken over the world in every domain. Governments are run by political specialists who focus on polling and know little else. If they think a Ukraine war will help, because historically people rally behind the President in war times, war it will be.
#2 . NATO on Russia’s very border is too much for Putin to bear quietly. It’s also not beyond possibility that he signed on to the WEF simply to make sure he was in the loop and wouldn’t be totally blindsided.
Removing the good or the bad, right and wrong. If Putin el al are all part of the WEF and the great reset then what nested outcomes does this situation provide? The war leads to cyber warfare (anon not been seen throughout the entire plandemic, yet suddenly), leads to a few cables being cut shut down of the global financial system, leading to digital ID and a centralised digital currency, leading the social credit system.
Currently, I am ashamed to be a human being. White male megalomaniacs, with generational privilege who have been afforded so much, twist, manipulate and corrupt everything we all hold dear, just so they have more power, more control, until there is nothing left.
yes its white privilege (eyeroll). have you seen how leaders across Africa have behaved? if they had more power they would be just as bad. do you think china wont go the same way when they have enough power?
And what about the Indian caste system (modern day slavery?). I've been told about more than one case when Indian workers in the US were noticed to take bathroom breaks in some strange places. When asked, they said it's because they are not allowed to use the same bathroom as Indians from another ("higher") caste who worked with them in the same building. White societies overall tend to be the most egalitarian and do not take the "caste" system too well, which is why (I think) the self-proclaimed elites have announced them "evil" and "privileged". They know that the whites are the most likely to resist this new class society, while the rest will take it for granted, so they have started this race war on whites (even though they themselves are as white as can be, but they want to be the "only" truly privileged class, no competition)
If I found out about that at my workplace, and I had power to do so, I'd put everyone on notice that any discrimination in access to bathroom facilities is grounds for dismissal. Period. Stop.
I wonder if he means more that those with certain privileges that he himself might enjoy, make him feel somehow responsible.
I don't agree.
I think all we can do is do the work of being. Learn to integrate and be whole. Take responsibility for our actions and behaviors. And learn to stand up with integrity.
But this is surely an exhausting ride, which we have all come into from different places. And the cost of it is felt differently among us.
They identify as white when they feel like disclaiming whiteness and calling for white genocide. They do this with or without using those words exactly.
When confronted, it turns out they no longer identify as white. Instead, they now identify as an ethnicity that is a long-prosecuted victim of whiteness.
Yes, some of the big players today may be old white males, and they have the gall to pretend to care about diversity and intersectionality (see Black Face Trudeau, or “you ain’t black” Biden). But these people have over focussed on race as a way to manipulate (and trans). They are causing far more division than they are healing, and it is by design. It is empty virtue signalling, distraction, demoralisation (google ‘subversion’)and divide and conquer.
This is not about race, evil exists amongst all races, because they are all human. African enslaved other Africans, Chinese harvest the Falon Gong’s organs etc. A bunch of white men have just been particularly successful in the last few centuries. But don’t leave women out - plenty of awful ones of those around helping the cause along, too.
Thank you Lisa….I am so glad I am not an ICU hospitalist or internist . I am an ob/gyn but see the lack of appropriate treatment. I copied FLCCC ICU protocol in the doctors lounge. God help us .
Yes, this is some of it. The sanctions everyone is putting on Russia will now also mean energy and FERTILISER shortages in Europe and USA and god know where else. More people will die. Global food shortage as a crisis is another way the Elites have war gamed global control. Plus a hungry population is less intelligent, less awake - as George Orwell told us.
We were always at war with Eurasia… or was it Eastasia?
The first tool in their toolbox is, don't just deny what is true, instead claim the opposite. When you are doing something nasty, accuse the victim they are doing it.
In this case, there's a privilege alright. This group has so much privilege and power, I can't even name them properly. Entire countries have laws against calling out this ethnicity. Powerful organizations spring into action if you do it, and try to ensure you can't.
"White privilege" is gaslighting for slow suppression and attrition of white people and everything they value that made civilization great. It is a war on freedom and individuality. It's a rallying call for transhumanist techno-fascism, and the annihilation of the individual that goes along with it. "Racism" and "hate" means to resist this totalitarian creep.
To abolish "white privilege" means to abolish property and individual rights, including decisions about your body. Abolishing "white privilege" means, "accept your WEF king."
Yeah theres white privilege allright but its really missing the forest for the trees, you can be white and not white at the same time for those that get it.
I am far from a foreign policy novice, let alone expert. I think there are three things in play: 1) NATO. Putin doesn't want Ukraine in NATO, period. 2) Oil/Gas. Ukraine is rich in natural gas and controlling more energy makes Europe more dependent on Russia for energy (especially since Germany got rid of nuclear.) Russia wants those resources. Wind/solar is a boondoggle and can't run a city let along a country. Russia knows this. 3) The weakness of the west. Because Biden et. al. is weak, Russia knows they can do almost whatever they want without issue. The sanctions were weak and not all-encompassing. The fact that Biden said something to the effect of "Let's see how the sanctions do in a month" tells me he and his people (his people, really, because I don't think he has many functioning brain cells left) are worse than idiots. In a month this will be over. .... I'm also wondering if there's a more historical/personal perspective involved that we'd need a historian to really understand. I plan to read the Glenn Greenwald transcript when it's released (I don't generally watch videos, I can read faster.)
"Let's see how the sanctions do in a month" is referring to the indirect 'own-goal' of increasing domestic inflation and crushing the spirit of the working class. Nothing to do with effect on Russia.
Look at all these natural resources and how much they impact world economies and industries. Given that Russia has oil/gas as major exports, THESE items would control a LOT of industry.
Being the second largest country by area in Europe and has a population of over 40 million, Ukraine ranks:
1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores

3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km)
3rd place in the world (after the U.S. and France) in production of locators and locating equipment
3rd largest iron exporter in the world
4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world
4th world's largest manufacturer of rocket launchers
4th place in the world in clay exports

8th place in the world in exports of ores and concentrates
9th place in the world in exports of defense industry products
10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons)
All I am sure about is that whatever MSM tells us, is wrong. So basically it's all up to speculation. Putin from my POV did not want war - he was pushed into it. I could be wrong of course and I'm open, but with so much misinformation it's hard to get comfortable with any interpretation.
I don’t believe most Americans want to go to war - we just lost tons of our sons and daughters over 20 years fighting a war that had us walk a way in shame and trillions poorer (like Vietnam - great Americans doing the day to day work and crappy leadership). Biden is a mental mess, American liberals are notoriously weak and right now they run the show. With all due respect, does Europe have a force that can defeat Russia or the will? I see half ass sanctions, Putin gets Ukraine, but in a bloody mess, gas and inflation skyrocket and we’re all worse off… However, I can also see Western weenies Macron, Trudeau, Dem Party being tossed aside in upcoming elections. In the long run it will work out. But, Xi is looming…
I'm not saying that there weren't Nazi groups in Ukraine in 2014, as there probably are today in Ukraine, Russia, Britain, France and many other countries. But to call the Ukrainian government or any other government Nazi for that reason is absolutely ridiculous.
Difference being these are large group still in operation in the military as a unit, and are open about it, I'm not implying the entire gov is neo-nazi, but it does bring the whole narrative into question, given that the history of this current government in Ukraine is to all intents a US/NATO puppet gov. And they made the unit part of the establishment.
It's certainty a complex situation that as other commentators have eluded to goes a long way back into the 90's with US and NATO not doing anyone any favors.
Oh yes I nearly forgot the current 2020 election scam was pioneered in the Ukraine in 2014 when Obama sent 1200 “election advisors” over to “help”. I know someone who organised this. This set the scene for the Biden crime dynasty to plunder the place. Let’s hope the MSM now takeS the Hunter Biden laptop seriously as it is stuffed to the gills with bent Ukraine deals...
Yes, the global lockstep to give a false sense of returning to “normal” (after all, the natives have been getting restless lately)…just like the lockstep 2 years ago to control us & usurp our freedoms.
I believe this is a ruse to distract from everything else. And an effort to sow chaos & confusion - it’s just wave after nauseating wave of harm & abuse - physically, psychologically, financially, socially, morally.
I read something that said on March 1, countries are quietly set to sign on to some new, binding “pandemic response” for the next one that will supposedly be binding & of course as bad or worse than we’ve already been subjected to. In the meantime, the useful idiots in the press have everyone distracted
I'm going to go with "all of the above", plus a few more.
To me, in the long run it doesn't matter what the reasons really are, the fact that we can see blatant synchronization between the government, banks, media and industry on everything right now tells me we are in for one wild ride.
Ukrainians I know tell me that 90% of the people there want Putin to kick Zelenskyy out. They see Zelenskyy as the WEF/Soros influence and they believe that Putin is not. Putin’s actions certainly benefit the Davos climate agenda in that they increase the price of fossil fuels and, therefore, make “green energy” more competitive. On the other hand, his actions can easily be interpreted as purely nationalistic because the price increase makes Russia richer and getting the Ukraine gives Russia more territory and mineral wealth. I think the real question is: on what side of the the WEF fence does Putin sit? I’m not convinced that he is presently a WEF’r. He might have been at one time, but there is certainly evidence that he is now Klaus Schwab’s prodigal son who is showing no inclination of returning home to father.
Yes, I really think that's the question on which everything depends. What's Putin's real game.
It seems impossible to me that at some point, someone with visible (and real) power - Putin, Xi etc, not power from the shadows, like the WEF/banksters/CIA etc won't tell the WEF/who ever is behind all this to "truck off". Not directly ofc but basically that person will start to follow their own agenda when we reach the point where the west has shot itself in the foot one time too many. The imbeciles coordinating all this are so full of themselves that they aren't able to account for the fact that even they are betrayable and everything might blow into their face.
Yes, power from the shadows works only when the people in public power are weak. This is why they hated Trump so much because he was gaining too much power that would have threatened globalist plans. While they still could, they threw him out (and exposed their hand). Real power trumps shadow power. Some real power will emerge that overcomes the WEF. Right now China plays the WEF like a fiddle, but who knows in this unstable period what real power will emerge. It can't be Russia. They are too weak economically. It's a joke this making them out to be a terrible threat.
To see the people such as Build Back Better Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and co now pontificating on this war situation, after their grotesque handling of the Covid debacle over the past two years, is beyond sickening...
These people do seem to be intent on preserving never-ending fear, working on behalf of their globalist masters to enslave us. How much money is being shovelled over to vested interests on the back of manufactured crises such as Covid etc?
Guess Johnson hopes he's escaped scrutiny for 'Partygate' for a while...a war has conveniently popped up to deflect attention...
Reckon Dominic Cummings has more incriminating video of Boris than there are screener releases on piratebay. I'm expecting a mini series akin to Blott on the Landscape, with Boris playing the role of Sir Giles.
It's hard to know where to start and be brief. As I see it, the same formula on Ukraine is being used by deep state operators that has been deployed in the South Americas and elsewhere since WW2: 1) unseat/kill/maim/replace sitting president (duly elected or otherwise); 2) insert puppet regime bought and sold to do the bidding of the masters - pay them all off, blackmail and disappear the dissenters ("We came, we saw, he died... hahaha;" 3) plunder/pillage/exploit resources to fill the coffers of the criminal elite networks; 4) use the chaos as a foil to distract from domestic FUBARs in domestic politics/financial/economic/public health domains - "When all else fails, they take you to war"; 5) re-write/disregard/falsely represent recent history of the said country and keep destabilizing as it sinks further into the debt and clutches of globalist overlords (IMF, WEF, WHO, UN etc); and 5) pay off the mainstream media to feed constant fear porn and lies to a dazzled public ready to believe whatever they are told. The end.
No doubt, Putin batting for team WEF even if it may look as if he is pitting himself against them...
As to C19, same goal, different tool: fear and control
And finally, I still see the collapse of world financial systems as a goal (note, I think there are a few goals and this one may very well be means to another end). * C19 provided the opportunity to destroy small and medium business, and created dependence on the state for an income; * the stimulus to achieve that dependence is one of the big drivers for inflation together with the intentional destruction of the supply chain; * add to that energy insecurity and the effect on fuel prices (because of this war and policy decisions in response) you have another inflationary lever; * hyperinflation, when you get there, could well lead to the fall of major currency(or -ies) and with countries increasingly regulating crypto currencies you are a hop skip and a jump away from a social credit system linked to health, and finance (other things as well, but those I think are two most clearly visible from this scenario and two years of covid).
i wouldnt put much stock on mr. adolf scwab. he is just a pawn. not sure why people seem to think he is somehow this mastermind that all world leaders go to. for starters that Davos thing was a harvard idea. they thought of developing such a forum under harvard university. as it happens mr. swab was at harvard at that time taking classes from kissinger. i guess we can connect the dots.
putin i suppose has taken a week vacation there based on kissinger suggestion. not much to read there, in fact there is nothing to read, the whole davos thing is a bs for the masses, none need to go to davos and publicize to the whole world they are meeting.
be aware of meetings we do not know are taking place, that is where real business happens ... as to adolf swab, i guess he got a good gig going all expenses paid playing big shot on tv, but that is it, nothing more to it, the guy got to be nobody.
Hard to say -this action serves many masters well. However, Ukraine is THE LAUNDRY for the deep state, many heads of countries, other politicians, NATO (see WEF), including Biden family, steeped in corruption. But most Ukrainians are innocent bystanders. Wish we could cut to the chase and go to war with deep state. And at the end of the day, it's great cover for whatever Biden, et al have in mind to sneak into our lives while our heads are turned.
It's hard to know what to believe. I do know that western governments are trampling our rights, and that if we don't put a stop to that soon some of us could eventually end up like this guy:
Love him or loath him, I feel Putin at least acts in Russia's best interests, if only while they align with his own. Hell, even Xi seems to fight for China. Can't say the same for any Western leaders - bunch of corrupt, ideological sellouts.
What does it mean for Putin to have been a WEF Young Leader? As a (former) KGB spy, maybe he just wants to know what they are up to, or bamboozle his enemies. Certainly, he is not toeing the globalist line on LGBT or climate change. When has he, unlike Western leaders, ever acted clearly against his country's interests?
For Putin it means he knows his opposition. He has served on the general staff of the oppsing army, so to speak.
But he is KGB. There is and never was something called ex-KGB. Look at the history of russian intelligence, secret police and whatever we may call the various acronyms: throughout longer than the US has existed, Russian has played intelligence games and has had intelligence agencies - the US has under a century of experience, despite a great technological advantage and the privileges which comes from allying givernemental intelligence agencies to corporations and industrial espionage (guess where China learned how to do that?).
And his career was focused of working with information and communication - it that sounds innocuous, think again.
As it infortunately always must be said, I by no means endorse or support neither Putin nor the russian war on Ukraine, but to far too many people who might read here (and report off message opinions) understanding something and supporting something comes to the same thing. Not that I'm accusing you of that, far from, but decades of experience from academia has ingrained this as a reflex into me.
LGBT is not necessary in an already authoritarian country, because the people already accept top-down control. That's how it's not pushed in China or Russia.
LGBT is necessary to develop a social class of tyranny enforcers for the West, which has been spoiled with ideas of liberty and republics, and now must be brought under control. This must be done in a similar manner as Britain managed its colonies.
In Britain's colonies, the demographic rule of thumb was to have the inhabitants 5% Brits; 25% armed minorities that would otherwise be oppressed by the majority and will therefore gladly support the Brits; and 70% oppressed majority.
In the West, they need to develop this layer, this oppressed minority that will gladly support the system. This is now partly the blacks, but this source does not provide a sufficient quantity of competent people to properly oppress a whole country.
So the minority they are developing is transsexuals. It turns out that if you don't indoctrinate, maybe 0.1% of the population will be trans. But if you confuse children as much as possible, starting with kindergarten and elementary school, you can probably get something like 20% trans people. In Canada, it's already illegal for parents to counteract schools transitioning children. You can go to prison for 5 years for telling your daughter she does not need puberty blockers.
Now these are people who cannot actually change their gender, but you can convince them that the ONLY reason they aren't achieving their most personal, existentially important gender goals is the majority's oppression. So you want to raise something like 20% trans people, and convince them that the reason they can't be a real woman is other people's prejudice.
Now you have your class of tyranny-supporting bureaucrats. This is being normalized in the US with folks like "Rachel" Levine, Sam Brinton and that "White House intern," Benny Drama.
I don't have any great insights to add to those below.
Putin is a Kleptocrat, a poker player, but also a Russian patriot, and his regime is a tightly-run and well organised gangster cabal.
The border issues with ethnic Russians in the Ukraine have been a running sore for the last decade or more, and 25,000 have died, with no end in sight.
Maybe he is just fed up, senses Western indecision under a weak and wobbly US President, and wants to get in to grab the gas and grain befoe the EU and NATO get there first?
1. Another fact that supports the Putin-in-bed with the globalists argument is that evidently President Clinton vetted him and permitted Boris Yeltsin to handpick him as his successor. Also, even though many think Putin saved Syria, he waited way too late to intervene, reneged on some promises (like providing Syria with the best weapons), and still allows Israel to control the Syrian airspace and strike at will, and Syria is still not free of foreign interference. Also, he has not punished the oligarchs that raped Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
2. There are two sides to the psychological operation involving Russia; it may not be primarily intended to distract people in the West from the Covid operation, but to rally the people in that part of the World to support a greater World conflict. The Russian people have been given a narrative (as well as Chinese, Indian, and other populations), that Russia is the best hope to stop Western hegemony. Even though China competes for the hero's role, Russia is allowed to be the bad cop while China is the good cop trying to negotiate and trade with the West. This Russia-as-savior narrative has been building the last few years as the West's actions and rhetoric has intensified against Russia (reaching ever more ridiculous levels).
My guess is the average Russian is spitting mad and wants to put an end to the abuse they have taken. So while Putin states a rational casus belli for the Ukraine war, which is more intellectually honest than the NATO version, this could all be done to get the people in that part of the World to support a great war against the West. Especially if Russia wins a decisive victory in Ukraine (which is my guess of what the reality is).
3. We are in a fog of war so I don't believe anything I'm seeing (like with Covid). I'm not sure the Russians are bogged down. In fact, Russia may be demonstrating a military capability that will make recent U.S. military misadventures look extremely weak by comparison. See https://thesaker.is/russian-operation-in-the-ukraine-end-of-day-2/
4. My prediction is a number of parties want a greater war. How else to explain the crazy rhetoric and actions the West is taking? They did everything they could to start and continue this war, including the likely propaganda we're seeing now about how heroic Ukraine is resisting. I expect Poland to be the fuse that lights this all up into a greater conflagration (e.g. NATO forces more openly participating in this war via Poland). NATO is likely running this war for the Ukrainians and while Putin may be downplaying this for now, I can see him rationalizing an attack on Poland and the Baltics as a way to stave off a worse situation down the road. The parties are quickly escalating in all arenas.
5. So is Putin acting sincerely? The only way I can see this is if he's been in deep cover and participating in globalist ventures like the WEF (and including Covid!) as a way to bring down the globalists from the inside. Or, he had an epiphany and decided he needed to abandon his globalist pals and put Russia first (like Saddam in Iraq?). Or, Putin is really a master Judo statesman and was cautious in the past because he was picking the perfect time to get aggressive. Or, much of the evidence we have about him being compromised is based on false Western propaganda (e.g. Bill Clinton approving of Putin as Yeltsin's replacement). Who knows.
Someone who is more likely to be acting sincerely is Lukashenko in Belarus.
In any event, even if Putin is part of a globalist plan or not, he's playing his role nicely and we seem to be heading down a dark path that segued very nicely from the Covid operation. We were warned by Karl Swabby, repeatedly, that a cyber attack would be in our future so I'm sure that's going to play a role too. As well as energy disruptions and other aspects of the great reset.
the west cuts Russia from swift -> Russia turns to their RusCoin -> Russian hackers attack western financial infrastructure -> the west pulls their CBDC and connects it to the vaxx pass.
The played crisis leads to what the elites want - total control via CBDC both in the east and the west.
I personally go to a mountain monastery and try to live off the grid.
The transition from covid to warfare was seamless, efficient, and either a massive fluke in terms of timing or planned in advance. I don't know what way to think.
I suspect that this will fizzle out, after NATO back off a bit, though I may be thinking that becuase that is what I hope rather than what my gut says. What my gut does say, however, is that I ought to not blindly trust the same news orgs and politicians that have repeatedly lied for over 2yrs, just because it's boogeyman Russia.
Ukraine doesn't always have a nice history with Russia - the Holodomor, for instance, which fucked them over hugely. The Ukraine I think translates to 'the borderlands', which implies tumult in aeons gone by. I don't think what is happening now is particularly new, though then again I am by no means even close to an expert on geopolitics.
Lastly, passive aggression is still aggression. NATO is a passive aggressive entity, largely - including it moving into Ukraine. Always easy to deny aggression when it's passive; impossible to deny when it's overt, and also hard to look noble when it's overt as nobody likes bloodshed asides from rich men in suits.
It is amazing how seamless the transition has been. I've noticed how quickly those in the Covid Cult have transferred their righteous emotional energy from hating on "antivaxxers" to righteously standing up for "democracy" and "freedom." They went from mocking those of us who argued for freedom against a Covid tyranny to screaming slogans of freedom on behalf of the Ukrainians. There is some deep psychological effects going on here--a mindfucking.
I'm seeing the same too but I'm also seeing a lot of individuals who eventually came round to the 'lockdown sceptic' position suddenly believing absolutely everything the MSM is saying about Ukraine
Two possibilities have come to mind for me as preliminary thoughts. I wrote this in a previous article:
The serious discussion here is about competition versus co-operation in the clearly global Biosecurity State agenda, and what balance of those factors currently exists between the West, Russia and China. The classic imperialist European powers competed over colonies while all agreeing about the importance of the maintenance of the colonial domination over Africa, Latin America and Asia, and indeed sometimes agreed on the division of colonies between themselves for mutual benefits. We are observing the same dynamic today, in which Russia, China and the West have colluded with the Covid narrative in order to increase domestic control over their populations while the West continues its imperialist adventures abroad (often opposed by Russia/China for their own reasons).
Following on from this is it depends what aspect of this is dominant, co operation or competition. If it's co operation, than the Ukraine action by Russia is a distraction from the failing Covid narrative & the obvious harm coming to light about the jabs. If its competition, than Putin has finally been pushed too far by the west (2014 Coup, Azov, war gaming, etc, as well as other lies like Russiagate, Skripals etc) and said fuck it.
Well, as the old adage applied to marriage says: What is argued about isn’t the issue.
The first observation is that there was never a substantive reason for Ukraine to become a global issue absent an ulterior motive. Oil was $41 a barrel in November 2020. It’s now nearing $100. Putin couldn’t be happier about that. But $150 would be even better. The price of crude is the single most important factor driving Putin’s domestic and global ambitions. None of it happens without money. And wars have been good for the price of oil for over 100 years.
The above is simply illustrative of the fact that the theories could go on and on, witness the bio-lab explanation or the Covid distraction/New Reset Vector(my personal favorite)
But pausing to look at history is always a worthwhile exercise. In Barbara Tuchman’s monumental book The March of Folly, she lays out the thesis that, from Troy to Vietnam, Incompetence may be a better explanation than Evil or Conspiracy for the planet’s human engineered debacles. I like to mix the 3 together, but never underestimate the pure power of one dumbass move begetting another, until the entire situation is out of anyone’s control. One could argue that this is what happened with Covid, and in the end, the cover-up became the thing. We shall see.
I saw a cartoon on Good Patriot’s newsletter that made me laugh out loud today. 2 men were speaking: “Hear about the War? Yes, that war.” “I don’t know what’s real anymore.” Well, that’s me. I didn’t believe any of it, initially, thinking it was a distraction. Then I saw livestreams and I am leaning toward option 4: WEF orchestrated. Part of the larger op. I understand how Putin has cause to respond for the violation of the agreements re his borders. Russia has also been implementing the Covid Psyop. He is a WEF graduate. So now, suddenly Ukraine’s an emergency? And he’s using the Left’s rationale for all their totalitarianism: Nazis! So, I will remain skeptical of all we see and hear.
I vacillate, but 1 option you didn't list is that Putin is a primarily a nationalist striving to protect Russia & its oligarchs & its closest neighbors/relations from getting swallowed up by the Globalist nazi wolves.
Yes, WEF successfully recruited him to their ygl program & new program. Does that mean he vought into1 world gov under Klaus or anyone else? Maybe. Maybe not.
Yes, he meets & socializes with Kissinger. Ever hear the saying "keep your friends close & enemies closer?"
He's been biding his time since the soviet breakup to rebuild strength while US got bored with policing his neck of the woods.
It took dementia joe & his 2-bit hoe less than a year to run the US to the edge of a cliff. Now is the time for Putin to run the table, before Russian mud season begins and/or God sends a bolt of lightening & sets the US upright again.
I think perhaps they were really taken off-guard by the support the truckers received from undeniably "ordinary" "respectable" people who knew themselves not to be [insert your favorite Bad Group here], so for once the general public had no choice but to disbelieve the official narrative. And that support was growing everywhere. And heavy-handedness was finally boomeranging. So--"a little patriotic support for our leaders, please..."
NE: Just wondering--I was able to post comment above but can't "like" others' comments. Limited because I'm a free subscriber, or is this a system glitch?
Its all theatre, but that doesn't mean that that there isnt a little real malice in it all. After all, siblings have forever competed with each other, and sometimes to the death. I guess Daddy Shwab is encouraging the boys to put the boot in. Much like those gypsy families that watch their kids beat ten bales of shit out of each other while egging it on for entertainment.
Many people still do not know or understand what it means that the Bolshevik Revolution was financed by Wall Street (just as Harriman Bank financed the Nazi Party), or that Mao was funded through the U.S. State Department (with a thin excuse of trickery, "He tricked us!").
How much is coordinated, and why? These details are difficult, but one thing that is for certain is that whatever story the corporate media feeds its viewers is whatever the behavioral economists think will get them to behave in the manners that they want.
But it is still best to ask more questions, and hold competing hypotheses in mind.
"Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them."
While not the most exciting one, it is the one that is demonstrably true. It also has the advantage of not invalidating any of the others.
To understand russian politics, you must do so from a the perspective of Russia as it is and what it was - its history. Otherwise the analysis will only be projection of what you think it should be.
A very simple example: how would the US (or any non-US country) fare under the same embargoes? How would your nation react to the same treatment and situations as Russia has lived through since 1995?
This is no endorsment of Russia's invasions of its neighbours: it's just that understanding something and endorsing it are two separate things. I mention that because I'm too use to the climate of debate here in Sweden where voicing opinions outside the state's narrative feels like you're Proctor and Mauser at the Blue Oyster Bar.
That smelled like propaganda. Particularly when I saw an article last year that mentioned Utah being the first state to pilot a digital ID for drivers licenses and other purposes. Yes it mentioned a few services which could (under the wrong people) be used for cutting off rights of others.
Maybe they see it as inevitable and to get ahead of it so they're not told what to do with it.
Putin is learning what Hitler found out in Stalingrad, that hell hath no fury like a babuska with an AK-47. It is almost that Ukraine had to prove that it was a "for real" country and not a USSR escapee that would be better off back behind a new iron curtain. Their freedoms are being won again in blood. Virus has nothing to do with this. Besides, in the US Uncle Joe from Scranton will be telling us how great everything is Tuesday night. Going to have a hard time finding something, anything, he has not screwed up.
I think it is a mistake to assume that the elites forming the globalist cabal won't automatically have disputes and fights between them (after all the US and European Union countries are undoubtedly allies but that did not stop trade disputes over bananas and Airbus; nor did it stop a certain Ms Nuland saying the EU can go get screwed (in more vulgar language) when it came to Ukraine).
This isn't an organised distraction (though many in the West are milking it to serve as a distraction) but a real war with real stakes and real goals. Russia seems likely to reshape Ukraine to be at least something approaching Georgia, where it is chastened, and neutral and tries to carefully balance relational with Russia and the West even if economically it still maintains the EU association agreement. Ukraine becoming more like Belarus is also a possibility. Stephanie Brail (the Wholistic newsletter on substack) republished a timeline that was based on mainstream Western media sources that strongly hints at just how Western elites have gone against their own putative interests in collaborating with Chinese elites and how they effectively colonised Ukraine to turn into a rent-providing fief (when highly politically connected western persons with no experience in oil and gas can sit on a board of a Ukrainian energy company and be protected from investigation there is no other way to describe this than Western leaders duping ordinary Ukrainians about the prospects of joining the West while covertly turning Ukraine into a cash cow for themselves and their arms companies)
One can have factions even within supposedly unified groups such as political parties, why expect a global cabal of elites not to have factions too?
What's telling here is that Russia and China have clearly begun to coordinate more. India to some extent too (though less so because of their still active disputes with China). What happens here is a dress rehearsal for what happens in Taiwan within 10-15 years (anytime between tomorrow and 2037) - China will move in, Russia will back China and help cushion China from Western sanctions (or even a Western blockade of the South and East China Seas). And the same Rupee/Rouble payment system that India has proposed (and which is based off a system India used for Iran to get around Western sanctions) can be repurposed to include the Yuan in the future.
Theater at the finest. So very 'logical' strategic decision to attack a country after the pandemic is over! Not during the height when most of the people were ducking at home and scared to death of rona! Nooooo! When we are fed up with it and insurance companies are coming out wide and open regarding huge number of vaccine injuries. This 'war' just arrived at the most convenient time for everyone!
What will happen? A few months of back and forth and finally Russia will half retreat. They will not occupy ukraine to keep the bait alive. Also when new variant is here in October war will disappear and we are back at virus propaganda!
I'm of the opinion that this is an orchestrated distraction while the other efforts to continue pushing for a passport continues on while everyone is looking over there. I'm imagining two people slap-fighting each other for a show, albeit at the cost of some "collateral damage" of Ukrainian lives. For people who have helped facilitate the killing of many people with COVID and witholding information that would save their lives with more effective therapeutics, they see this as a minor sacrifice in their march toward the great reset.
Totally agree with you. Behind the scenes they continue with global vaxx pass, hiding the vaxx deaths, keep on suppressing IVM , normalise restrictions ...
Please stay vigilant and keep on pushing back. The digital vaxx-pass and CBDC is the long game
Unlikely. Ukraine has been a festering boil on Russia's side for many years. The boil had to be lanced and despite what we are being told, Russia is doing that job quickly and as humanely as possible.
Could you elaborate more on this? I'm not familiar with the historical/cultural background that might need to be "lanced". I'm very tangentially aware that we've put the Ukrainian folks in a no-win situation in a power struggle between two sides (US and Russia). I see this being a convenient posturing by Biden to show SOME success when he's suffered badly at home.
Here is some good information on the game being played by the U.S. and NATO https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/23/diana-johnstone-us-foreign-policy-is-a-cruel-sport/. And here is a transcript of Putin's speech yesterday: https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-02-24/full-transcript-vladimir-putin-s-televised-address-to-russia-on-ukraine-feb-24. Lastly, here is an article written in 2014 after the coup: https://www.counterpunch.org/2014/02/27/the-neo-nazis-of-ukraine/
Not really possible to condense the goings on in Ukraine into one post. I'll just mention that the US fomented and funded a coup in the Ukraine back in 2014. Since then the US has controlled Ukraine's governments and has all done all this as a way of destabilising Russia. For its part in these US war games Ukraine has lost Crimea, will also lose Luhansk and Donetsk oblasts and possibly much more besides. Thank you Washington, a job well done.
Thank you. Since your prior post, I began to learn of this (mostly through the Glenn Greenwald video - which is excellent, btw. link posted many times by others)
Keep on learning, it's the only way.
Glen Greenwald has an excellent piece on the topic:
https://rumble.com/vvrd3t-the-war-in-ukraine.html
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2022/feb/23/putin-narrative-ukraine-master-key-crisis-nato-expansionism-frozen-conflict
https://fair.org/home/western-media-fall-in-lockstep-for-neo-nazi-publicity-stunt-in-ukraine/
Still, it's possible that Biden signaled to Putin that now is the time to go ahead, and repercussions will be symbolic.
I subscribe more to el gato malo's View that the elites are so removed from everyday life that they no longer know how any economy (national and global) works. For them water comes through the taps and lights come on at the flip of a switch by magic.
That's why they could do easily cripple the lives and livelihoods of millions with lockdowns and only allowing "essential" workers to keep working.
It will be the same muddled thinking at play with sanctions (though they seem to be slowly waking up to how interconnected things are). So they suggest kicking Russia out of SWIFT (that will hurt of course but eventually encourage alternatives to SWIFT and the unravelling of US Dollar dominance in the long term), restricting Russian energy exports (that will only increase energy prices and through that send inflation into hyperdrive; they now seem to realise this as they talk about sanctions that won't affect energy flows), restricting sales of microchips to Russia (though given that Russia is a major producer of rare earth's that are needed to make those microchips in the first place and that Russia and Ukraine together are integral in producing 90% of the neon gas that is used in the US for producing microchips we will have to see how that idea will work in practice) and banning Russian airlines (with Russia then banning their airlines from flying over Russia; which makes those airlines face increased costs in an industry where margins were already razor thin as flying around Russia makes flight times longer, uses more fuel, puts more pressure on pilots and means that non-sanctioned Western airlines now have a competitive advantage - if you are flying Dublin to Seoul and your choices are Air France at X hours and Y euros but BA at X+3 hours and Y+200 euros which one are you really going to pick?)
I would say muddled overall thinking and short-term political calculations go hand-in-hand. Specialists have taken over the world in every domain. Governments are run by political specialists who focus on polling and know little else. If they think a Ukraine war will help, because historically people rally behind the President in war times, war it will be.
Both are said to be globalists, so perhaps there is collusion.
I might be slightly wrong here... Another reason for a distraction: High number of deaths being seen among vaccinated. https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/03/01/russia-distraction-uk-gov-revealed-triple-vaccinated-account-9-in-10-covid-deaths/
Are we all being subjected to a massive "deepfake"? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5wLaJYBAm4
Or perhaps to rip down the capitalistic environment before it implodes due to debt/over-extension of health or retirement costs / corruption.
#2 . NATO on Russia’s very border is too much for Putin to bear quietly. It’s also not beyond possibility that he signed on to the WEF simply to make sure he was in the loop and wouldn’t be totally blindsided.
Exactly. Keep your friends close & your enemies closer.
Is that why he was pushing qr vac codes even though he said before that it's not mandatory?
https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/
Removing the good or the bad, right and wrong. If Putin el al are all part of the WEF and the great reset then what nested outcomes does this situation provide? The war leads to cyber warfare (anon not been seen throughout the entire plandemic, yet suddenly), leads to a few cables being cut shut down of the global financial system, leading to digital ID and a centralised digital currency, leading the social credit system.
Currently, I am ashamed to be a human being. White male megalomaniacs, with generational privilege who have been afforded so much, twist, manipulate and corrupt everything we all hold dear, just so they have more power, more control, until there is nothing left.
I don't like this ride anymore, I want to get off
It's the human condition and not a race/'white man bad' thing.
Exactly. Did everyone suddenly forget about Obama? You think Xi is an angel? What about Modi? Their actions are equivalent just not as powerful….yet.
Hi Boudicca, can you expand on your comment? genuinely interested.
yes its white privilege (eyeroll). have you seen how leaders across Africa have behaved? if they had more power they would be just as bad. do you think china wont go the same way when they have enough power?
its just psychopaths doing what psychopaths do
And what about the Indian caste system (modern day slavery?). I've been told about more than one case when Indian workers in the US were noticed to take bathroom breaks in some strange places. When asked, they said it's because they are not allowed to use the same bathroom as Indians from another ("higher") caste who worked with them in the same building. White societies overall tend to be the most egalitarian and do not take the "caste" system too well, which is why (I think) the self-proclaimed elites have announced them "evil" and "privileged". They know that the whites are the most likely to resist this new class society, while the rest will take it for granted, so they have started this race war on whites (even though they themselves are as white as can be, but they want to be the "only" truly privileged class, no competition)
If I found out about that at my workplace, and I had power to do so, I'd put everyone on notice that any discrimination in access to bathroom facilities is grounds for dismissal. Period. Stop.
This isn’t about being white . Stop buying into that garbage . Evil has no color .
I wonder if he means more that those with certain privileges that he himself might enjoy, make him feel somehow responsible.
I don't agree.
I think all we can do is do the work of being. Learn to integrate and be whole. Take responsibility for our actions and behaviors. And learn to stand up with integrity.
But this is surely an exhausting ride, which we have all come into from different places. And the cost of it is felt differently among us.
They are a particular kind of white. "Schroedinger's White" - you don't know if they feel like being white or a specific minority until you ask them.
Feel like being white ?? I hope one day we return to sanity and reality .
They identify as white when they feel like disclaiming whiteness and calling for white genocide. They do this with or without using those words exactly.
When confronted, it turns out they no longer identify as white. Instead, they now identify as an ethnicity that is a long-prosecuted victim of whiteness.
Yes, some of the big players today may be old white males, and they have the gall to pretend to care about diversity and intersectionality (see Black Face Trudeau, or “you ain’t black” Biden). But these people have over focussed on race as a way to manipulate (and trans). They are causing far more division than they are healing, and it is by design. It is empty virtue signalling, distraction, demoralisation (google ‘subversion’)and divide and conquer.
This is not about race, evil exists amongst all races, because they are all human. African enslaved other Africans, Chinese harvest the Falon Gong’s organs etc. A bunch of white men have just been particularly successful in the last few centuries. But don’t leave women out - plenty of awful ones of those around helping the cause along, too.
That’s ok I’m embarrassed to be a physician
I would imagine that being part of a system that has been so implicit in doing so much damage to so many, must be a heavy weight.
But if you are standing up and seeing this and refusing to be part of it, than you are doing your part. Which is what is so sorely needed right now.
I don't believe that holding shame has any constructive purpose.
Thank you Lisa….I am so glad I am not an ICU hospitalist or internist . I am an ob/gyn but see the lack of appropriate treatment. I copied FLCCC ICU protocol in the doctors lounge. God help us .
Thank you for following the FLCCC protocol. So glad to hear a doctor doing this. I know how difficult it is to stand up for what is right.
This is all horrifying to witness 💔
oh your comment on another post makes more sense to me now, doh!
BE the change you want to see in the world and try not to blame old white men like Idi Amin for all our problems
But wait...🤔
Yes, this is some of it. The sanctions everyone is putting on Russia will now also mean energy and FERTILISER shortages in Europe and USA and god know where else. More people will die. Global food shortage as a crisis is another way the Elites have war gamed global control. Plus a hungry population is less intelligent, less awake - as George Orwell told us.
We were always at war with Eurasia… or was it Eastasia?
I want to get off as well.
Oh for God's sake grow a brain and stop with the "white privilege" BS.
The first tool in their toolbox is, don't just deny what is true, instead claim the opposite. When you are doing something nasty, accuse the victim they are doing it.
In this case, there's a privilege alright. This group has so much privilege and power, I can't even name them properly. Entire countries have laws against calling out this ethnicity. Powerful organizations spring into action if you do it, and try to ensure you can't.
"White privilege" is gaslighting for slow suppression and attrition of white people and everything they value that made civilization great. It is a war on freedom and individuality. It's a rallying call for transhumanist techno-fascism, and the annihilation of the individual that goes along with it. "Racism" and "hate" means to resist this totalitarian creep.
To abolish "white privilege" means to abolish property and individual rights, including decisions about your body. Abolishing "white privilege" means, "accept your WEF king."
Yeah theres white privilege allright but its really missing the forest for the trees, you can be white and not white at the same time for those that get it.
I am far from a foreign policy novice, let alone expert. I think there are three things in play: 1) NATO. Putin doesn't want Ukraine in NATO, period. 2) Oil/Gas. Ukraine is rich in natural gas and controlling more energy makes Europe more dependent on Russia for energy (especially since Germany got rid of nuclear.) Russia wants those resources. Wind/solar is a boondoggle and can't run a city let along a country. Russia knows this. 3) The weakness of the west. Because Biden et. al. is weak, Russia knows they can do almost whatever they want without issue. The sanctions were weak and not all-encompassing. The fact that Biden said something to the effect of "Let's see how the sanctions do in a month" tells me he and his people (his people, really, because I don't think he has many functioning brain cells left) are worse than idiots. In a month this will be over. .... I'm also wondering if there's a more historical/personal perspective involved that we'd need a historian to really understand. I plan to read the Glenn Greenwald transcript when it's released (I don't generally watch videos, I can read faster.)
"Let's see how the sanctions do in a month" is referring to the indirect 'own-goal' of increasing domestic inflation and crushing the spirit of the working class. Nothing to do with effect on Russia.
You NAILED IT!
Someone sent this to me today, which is from a comment provided by a Rick Hauser on a video put up by Ward Carroll at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9wzAJZmM8jc
Look at all these natural resources and how much they impact world economies and industries. Given that Russia has oil/gas as major exports, THESE items would control a LOT of industry.
Being the second largest country by area in Europe and has a population of over 40 million, Ukraine ranks:
1st in Europe in proven recoverable reserves of uranium ores
2nd place in Europe and 10th place in the world in terms of titanium ore reserves
2nd place in the world in terms of explored reserves of manganese ores (2.3 billion tons, or 12% of the world's reserves)
2nd largest iron ore reserves in the world (30 billion tons)
2nd place in Europe in terms of mercury ore reserves
3rd place in Europe (13th place in the world) in shale gas reserves (22 trillion cubic meters)
4th in the world by the total value of natural resources
7th place in the world in coal reserves (33.9 billion tons)
Ukraine is an important agricultural country:
1st in Europe in terms of arable land area
3rd place in the world by the area of black soil (25% of world's volume)
1st place in the world in exports of sunflower and sunflower oil
2nd place in the world in barley production and 4th place in barley exports
3rd largest producer and 4th largest exporter of corn in the world
4th largest producer of potatoes in the world
5th largest rye producer in the world
5th place in the world in bee production (75,000 tons)
8th place in the world in wheat exports
9th place in the world in the production of chicken eggs
16th place in the world in cheese exports
Ukraine can meet the food needs of 600 million people.
Ukraine is an important industrialized country:
1st in Europe in ammonia production
Europe's 2nd’s and the world’s 4th largest natural gas pipeline system
3rd largest in Europe and 8th largest in the world in terms of installed capacity of nuclear power plants
3rd place in Europe and 11th in the world in terms of rail network length (21,700 km)
3rd place in the world (after the U.S. and France) in production of locators and locating equipment
3rd largest iron exporter in the world
4th largest exporter of turbines for nuclear power plants in the world
4th world's largest manufacturer of rocket launchers
4th place in the world in clay exports
4th place in the world in titanium exports
8th place in the world in exports of ores and concentrates
9th place in the world in exports of defense industry products
10th largest steel producer in the world (32.4 million tons)
All I am sure about is that whatever MSM tells us, is wrong. So basically it's all up to speculation. Putin from my POV did not want war - he was pushed into it. I could be wrong of course and I'm open, but with so much misinformation it's hard to get comfortable with any interpretation.
I don’t believe most Americans want to go to war - we just lost tons of our sons and daughters over 20 years fighting a war that had us walk a way in shame and trillions poorer (like Vietnam - great Americans doing the day to day work and crappy leadership). Biden is a mental mess, American liberals are notoriously weak and right now they run the show. With all due respect, does Europe have a force that can defeat Russia or the will? I see half ass sanctions, Putin gets Ukraine, but in a bloody mess, gas and inflation skyrocket and we’re all worse off… However, I can also see Western weenies Macron, Trudeau, Dem Party being tossed aside in upcoming elections. In the long run it will work out. But, Xi is looming…
Yeah, Russia are the bad guys and the US and their Nazi puppet government in the Ukraine are the good guys.
A Nazi government with a Jewish President at its head, sounds legit.
you might want to look into those ideas a bit further. You might get some surprises
Certainly, I will look into Russian propaganda material. I'm sure you can learn a lot of amazing things from it.
I posted a link up the page, known neo nazi unit in the Ukrainian forces, UK press was publishing this in 2014, just because the current president is Jewish, you think they all of a sudden changed their world view? https://fair.org/home/western-media-fall-in-lockstep-for-neo-nazi-publicity-stunt-in-ukraine/
I'm not saying that there weren't Nazi groups in Ukraine in 2014, as there probably are today in Ukraine, Russia, Britain, France and many other countries. But to call the Ukrainian government or any other government Nazi for that reason is absolutely ridiculous.
Difference being these are large group still in operation in the military as a unit, and are open about it, I'm not implying the entire gov is neo-nazi, but it does bring the whole narrative into question, given that the history of this current government in Ukraine is to all intents a US/NATO puppet gov. And they made the unit part of the establishment.
It's certainty a complex situation that as other commentators have eluded to goes a long way back into the 90's with US and NATO not doing anyone any favors.
Oh yes I nearly forgot the current 2020 election scam was pioneered in the Ukraine in 2014 when Obama sent 1200 “election advisors” over to “help”. I know someone who organised this. This set the scene for the Biden crime dynasty to plunder the place. Let’s hope the MSM now takeS the Hunter Biden laptop seriously as it is stuffed to the gills with bent Ukraine deals...
haha, yeah, I can see the MSM headlines now. Get real.
Yes, the global lockstep to give a false sense of returning to “normal” (after all, the natives have been getting restless lately)…just like the lockstep 2 years ago to control us & usurp our freedoms.
I believe this is a ruse to distract from everything else. And an effort to sow chaos & confusion - it’s just wave after nauseating wave of harm & abuse - physically, psychologically, financially, socially, morally.
I read something that said on March 1, countries are quietly set to sign on to some new, binding “pandemic response” for the next one that will supposedly be binding & of course as bad or worse than we’ve already been subjected to. In the meantime, the useful idiots in the press have everyone distracted
Distract from yesterday's news possibly?
https://conservativechoicecampaign.com/insurance-claims-show-31254-deaths-following-covid-19-vaccines-official-government-stats-report-only-2255/
I'm going to go with "all of the above", plus a few more.
To me, in the long run it doesn't matter what the reasons really are, the fact that we can see blatant synchronization between the government, banks, media and industry on everything right now tells me we are in for one wild ride.
Ukrainians I know tell me that 90% of the people there want Putin to kick Zelenskyy out. They see Zelenskyy as the WEF/Soros influence and they believe that Putin is not. Putin’s actions certainly benefit the Davos climate agenda in that they increase the price of fossil fuels and, therefore, make “green energy” more competitive. On the other hand, his actions can easily be interpreted as purely nationalistic because the price increase makes Russia richer and getting the Ukraine gives Russia more territory and mineral wealth. I think the real question is: on what side of the the WEF fence does Putin sit? I’m not convinced that he is presently a WEF’r. He might have been at one time, but there is certainly evidence that he is now Klaus Schwab’s prodigal son who is showing no inclination of returning home to father.
Yes, I really think that's the question on which everything depends. What's Putin's real game.
It seems impossible to me that at some point, someone with visible (and real) power - Putin, Xi etc, not power from the shadows, like the WEF/banksters/CIA etc won't tell the WEF/who ever is behind all this to "truck off". Not directly ofc but basically that person will start to follow their own agenda when we reach the point where the west has shot itself in the foot one time too many. The imbeciles coordinating all this are so full of themselves that they aren't able to account for the fact that even they are betrayable and everything might blow into their face.
Yes, power from the shadows works only when the people in public power are weak. This is why they hated Trump so much because he was gaining too much power that would have threatened globalist plans. While they still could, they threw him out (and exposed their hand). Real power trumps shadow power. Some real power will emerge that overcomes the WEF. Right now China plays the WEF like a fiddle, but who knows in this unstable period what real power will emerge. It can't be Russia. They are too weak economically. It's a joke this making them out to be a terrible threat.
To see the people such as Build Back Better Boris Johnson, Joe Biden and co now pontificating on this war situation, after their grotesque handling of the Covid debacle over the past two years, is beyond sickening...
These people do seem to be intent on preserving never-ending fear, working on behalf of their globalist masters to enslave us. How much money is being shovelled over to vested interests on the back of manufactured crises such as Covid etc?
Guess Johnson hopes he's escaped scrutiny for 'Partygate' for a while...a war has conveniently popped up to deflect attention...
Reckon Dominic Cummings has more incriminating video of Boris than there are screener releases on piratebay. I'm expecting a mini series akin to Blott on the Landscape, with Boris playing the role of Sir Giles.
It's hard to know where to start and be brief. As I see it, the same formula on Ukraine is being used by deep state operators that has been deployed in the South Americas and elsewhere since WW2: 1) unseat/kill/maim/replace sitting president (duly elected or otherwise); 2) insert puppet regime bought and sold to do the bidding of the masters - pay them all off, blackmail and disappear the dissenters ("We came, we saw, he died... hahaha;" 3) plunder/pillage/exploit resources to fill the coffers of the criminal elite networks; 4) use the chaos as a foil to distract from domestic FUBARs in domestic politics/financial/economic/public health domains - "When all else fails, they take you to war"; 5) re-write/disregard/falsely represent recent history of the said country and keep destabilizing as it sinks further into the debt and clutches of globalist overlords (IMF, WEF, WHO, UN etc); and 5) pay off the mainstream media to feed constant fear porn and lies to a dazzled public ready to believe whatever they are told. The end.
No doubt, Putin batting for team WEF even if it may look as if he is pitting himself against them...
As to C19, same goal, different tool: fear and control
And finally, I still see the collapse of world financial systems as a goal (note, I think there are a few goals and this one may very well be means to another end). * C19 provided the opportunity to destroy small and medium business, and created dependence on the state for an income; * the stimulus to achieve that dependence is one of the big drivers for inflation together with the intentional destruction of the supply chain; * add to that energy insecurity and the effect on fuel prices (because of this war and policy decisions in response) you have another inflationary lever; * hyperinflation, when you get there, could well lead to the fall of major currency(or -ies) and with countries increasingly regulating crypto currencies you are a hop skip and a jump away from a social credit system linked to health, and finance (other things as well, but those I think are two most clearly visible from this scenario and two years of covid).
Glen Greenwald has an excellent piece on the topic:

Listening to this now - thanks for the link. Very good. Startling how common sense is now so rare.
i wouldnt put much stock on mr. adolf scwab. he is just a pawn. not sure why people seem to think he is somehow this mastermind that all world leaders go to. for starters that Davos thing was a harvard idea. they thought of developing such a forum under harvard university. as it happens mr. swab was at harvard at that time taking classes from kissinger. i guess we can connect the dots.
putin i suppose has taken a week vacation there based on kissinger suggestion. not much to read there, in fact there is nothing to read, the whole davos thing is a bs for the masses, none need to go to davos and publicize to the whole world they are meeting.
be aware of meetings we do not know are taking place, that is where real business happens ... as to adolf swab, i guess he got a good gig going all expenses paid playing big shot on tv, but that is it, nothing more to it, the guy got to be nobody.
it's not him, he's just a face. The power is behind him, nicely hidden away.
Hard to say -this action serves many masters well. However, Ukraine is THE LAUNDRY for the deep state, many heads of countries, other politicians, NATO (see WEF), including Biden family, steeped in corruption. But most Ukrainians are innocent bystanders. Wish we could cut to the chase and go to war with deep state. And at the end of the day, it's great cover for whatever Biden, et al have in mind to sneak into our lives while our heads are turned.
It's hard to know what to believe. I do know that western governments are trampling our rights, and that if we don't put a stop to that soon some of us could eventually end up like this guy:

Love him or loath him, I feel Putin at least acts in Russia's best interests, if only while they align with his own. Hell, even Xi seems to fight for China. Can't say the same for any Western leaders - bunch of corrupt, ideological sellouts.
Oh No someone bombed a bio lab and now some bad stuff has leaked out
#RussiaManBad
What does it mean for Putin to have been a WEF Young Leader? As a (former) KGB spy, maybe he just wants to know what they are up to, or bamboozle his enemies. Certainly, he is not toeing the globalist line on LGBT or climate change. When has he, unlike Western leaders, ever acted clearly against his country's interests?
For Putin it means he knows his opposition. He has served on the general staff of the oppsing army, so to speak.
But he is KGB. There is and never was something called ex-KGB. Look at the history of russian intelligence, secret police and whatever we may call the various acronyms: throughout longer than the US has existed, Russian has played intelligence games and has had intelligence agencies - the US has under a century of experience, despite a great technological advantage and the privileges which comes from allying givernemental intelligence agencies to corporations and industrial espionage (guess where China learned how to do that?).
And his career was focused of working with information and communication - it that sounds innocuous, think again.
As it infortunately always must be said, I by no means endorse or support neither Putin nor the russian war on Ukraine, but to far too many people who might read here (and report off message opinions) understanding something and supporting something comes to the same thing. Not that I'm accusing you of that, far from, but decades of experience from academia has ingrained this as a reflex into me.
LGBT is not necessary in an already authoritarian country, because the people already accept top-down control. That's how it's not pushed in China or Russia.
LGBT is necessary to develop a social class of tyranny enforcers for the West, which has been spoiled with ideas of liberty and republics, and now must be brought under control. This must be done in a similar manner as Britain managed its colonies.
In Britain's colonies, the demographic rule of thumb was to have the inhabitants 5% Brits; 25% armed minorities that would otherwise be oppressed by the majority and will therefore gladly support the Brits; and 70% oppressed majority.
In the West, they need to develop this layer, this oppressed minority that will gladly support the system. This is now partly the blacks, but this source does not provide a sufficient quantity of competent people to properly oppress a whole country.
So the minority they are developing is transsexuals. It turns out that if you don't indoctrinate, maybe 0.1% of the population will be trans. But if you confuse children as much as possible, starting with kindergarten and elementary school, you can probably get something like 20% trans people. In Canada, it's already illegal for parents to counteract schools transitioning children. You can go to prison for 5 years for telling your daughter she does not need puberty blockers.
Now these are people who cannot actually change their gender, but you can convince them that the ONLY reason they aren't achieving their most personal, existentially important gender goals is the majority's oppression. So you want to raise something like 20% trans people, and convince them that the reason they can't be a real woman is other people's prejudice.
Now you have your class of tyranny-supporting bureaucrats. This is being normalized in the US with folks like "Rachel" Levine, Sam Brinton and that "White House intern," Benny Drama.
I don't have any great insights to add to those below.
Putin is a Kleptocrat, a poker player, but also a Russian patriot, and his regime is a tightly-run and well organised gangster cabal.
The border issues with ethnic Russians in the Ukraine have been a running sore for the last decade or more, and 25,000 have died, with no end in sight.
Maybe he is just fed up, senses Western indecision under a weak and wobbly US President, and wants to get in to grab the gas and grain befoe the EU and NATO get there first?
Works for me.
Ukraine Blah Blah. NATO Blah Blah. Russia....

Never liked Oakland
Good riddance of the labs. In a war we should go back to early times. Alexander the great rode at the head of his army
Biden as president ( cough, cough, bullshi*)has no moral high ground. One invades a country. The other steals it through a rigged election.
1. Another fact that supports the Putin-in-bed with the globalists argument is that evidently President Clinton vetted him and permitted Boris Yeltsin to handpick him as his successor. Also, even though many think Putin saved Syria, he waited way too late to intervene, reneged on some promises (like providing Syria with the best weapons), and still allows Israel to control the Syrian airspace and strike at will, and Syria is still not free of foreign interference. Also, he has not punished the oligarchs that raped Russia after the fall of the Soviet Union.
2. There are two sides to the psychological operation involving Russia; it may not be primarily intended to distract people in the West from the Covid operation, but to rally the people in that part of the World to support a greater World conflict. The Russian people have been given a narrative (as well as Chinese, Indian, and other populations), that Russia is the best hope to stop Western hegemony. Even though China competes for the hero's role, Russia is allowed to be the bad cop while China is the good cop trying to negotiate and trade with the West. This Russia-as-savior narrative has been building the last few years as the West's actions and rhetoric has intensified against Russia (reaching ever more ridiculous levels).
My guess is the average Russian is spitting mad and wants to put an end to the abuse they have taken. So while Putin states a rational casus belli for the Ukraine war, which is more intellectually honest than the NATO version, this could all be done to get the people in that part of the World to support a great war against the West. Especially if Russia wins a decisive victory in Ukraine (which is my guess of what the reality is).
3. We are in a fog of war so I don't believe anything I'm seeing (like with Covid). I'm not sure the Russians are bogged down. In fact, Russia may be demonstrating a military capability that will make recent U.S. military misadventures look extremely weak by comparison. See https://thesaker.is/russian-operation-in-the-ukraine-end-of-day-2/
4. My prediction is a number of parties want a greater war. How else to explain the crazy rhetoric and actions the West is taking? They did everything they could to start and continue this war, including the likely propaganda we're seeing now about how heroic Ukraine is resisting. I expect Poland to be the fuse that lights this all up into a greater conflagration (e.g. NATO forces more openly participating in this war via Poland). NATO is likely running this war for the Ukrainians and while Putin may be downplaying this for now, I can see him rationalizing an attack on Poland and the Baltics as a way to stave off a worse situation down the road. The parties are quickly escalating in all arenas.
5. So is Putin acting sincerely? The only way I can see this is if he's been in deep cover and participating in globalist ventures like the WEF (and including Covid!) as a way to bring down the globalists from the inside. Or, he had an epiphany and decided he needed to abandon his globalist pals and put Russia first (like Saddam in Iraq?). Or, Putin is really a master Judo statesman and was cautious in the past because he was picking the perfect time to get aggressive. Or, much of the evidence we have about him being compromised is based on false Western propaganda (e.g. Bill Clinton approving of Putin as Yeltsin's replacement). Who knows.
Someone who is more likely to be acting sincerely is Lukashenko in Belarus.
In any event, even if Putin is part of a globalist plan or not, he's playing his role nicely and we seem to be heading down a dark path that segued very nicely from the Covid operation. We were warned by Karl Swabby, repeatedly, that a cyber attack would be in our future so I'm sure that's going to play a role too. As well as energy disruptions and other aspects of the great reset.
the west cuts Russia from swift -> Russia turns to their RusCoin -> Russian hackers attack western financial infrastructure -> the west pulls their CBDC and connects it to the vaxx pass.
The played crisis leads to what the elites want - total control via CBDC both in the east and the west.
I personally go to a mountain monastery and try to live off the grid.
The transition from covid to warfare was seamless, efficient, and either a massive fluke in terms of timing or planned in advance. I don't know what way to think.
I suspect that this will fizzle out, after NATO back off a bit, though I may be thinking that becuase that is what I hope rather than what my gut says. What my gut does say, however, is that I ought to not blindly trust the same news orgs and politicians that have repeatedly lied for over 2yrs, just because it's boogeyman Russia.
Ukraine doesn't always have a nice history with Russia - the Holodomor, for instance, which fucked them over hugely. The Ukraine I think translates to 'the borderlands', which implies tumult in aeons gone by. I don't think what is happening now is particularly new, though then again I am by no means even close to an expert on geopolitics.
Lastly, passive aggression is still aggression. NATO is a passive aggressive entity, largely - including it moving into Ukraine. Always easy to deny aggression when it's passive; impossible to deny when it's overt, and also hard to look noble when it's overt as nobody likes bloodshed asides from rich men in suits.
It is amazing how seamless the transition has been. I've noticed how quickly those in the Covid Cult have transferred their righteous emotional energy from hating on "antivaxxers" to righteously standing up for "democracy" and "freedom." They went from mocking those of us who argued for freedom against a Covid tyranny to screaming slogans of freedom on behalf of the Ukrainians. There is some deep psychological effects going on here--a mindfucking.
I'm seeing the same too but I'm also seeing a lot of individuals who eventually came round to the 'lockdown sceptic' position suddenly believing absolutely everything the MSM is saying about Ukraine
What do you think of this? It quickly disappeared from Twitter and Thread Reader.

Maybe targeting the biolabs to eliminate the evidence as investigations ensue.
The history is neglected by most commentators. I wrote about it 3 years ago & it is appropriate now so I created a new Substack with it here:
https://francesleader.substack.com/p/the-true-enemies-of-russia?utm_source=url
Two possibilities have come to mind for me as preliminary thoughts. I wrote this in a previous article:
The serious discussion here is about competition versus co-operation in the clearly global Biosecurity State agenda, and what balance of those factors currently exists between the West, Russia and China. The classic imperialist European powers competed over colonies while all agreeing about the importance of the maintenance of the colonial domination over Africa, Latin America and Asia, and indeed sometimes agreed on the division of colonies between themselves for mutual benefits. We are observing the same dynamic today, in which Russia, China and the West have colluded with the Covid narrative in order to increase domestic control over their populations while the West continues its imperialist adventures abroad (often opposed by Russia/China for their own reasons).
Following on from this is it depends what aspect of this is dominant, co operation or competition. If it's co operation, than the Ukraine action by Russia is a distraction from the failing Covid narrative & the obvious harm coming to light about the jabs. If its competition, than Putin has finally been pushed too far by the west (2014 Coup, Azov, war gaming, etc, as well as other lies like Russiagate, Skripals etc) and said fuck it.
Well, as the old adage applied to marriage says: What is argued about isn’t the issue.
The first observation is that there was never a substantive reason for Ukraine to become a global issue absent an ulterior motive. Oil was $41 a barrel in November 2020. It’s now nearing $100. Putin couldn’t be happier about that. But $150 would be even better. The price of crude is the single most important factor driving Putin’s domestic and global ambitions. None of it happens without money. And wars have been good for the price of oil for over 100 years.
The above is simply illustrative of the fact that the theories could go on and on, witness the bio-lab explanation or the Covid distraction/New Reset Vector(my personal favorite)
But pausing to look at history is always a worthwhile exercise. In Barbara Tuchman’s monumental book The March of Folly, she lays out the thesis that, from Troy to Vietnam, Incompetence may be a better explanation than Evil or Conspiracy for the planet’s human engineered debacles. I like to mix the 3 together, but never underestimate the pure power of one dumbass move begetting another, until the entire situation is out of anyone’s control. One could argue that this is what happened with Covid, and in the end, the cover-up became the thing. We shall see.
I saw a cartoon on Good Patriot’s newsletter that made me laugh out loud today. 2 men were speaking: “Hear about the War? Yes, that war.” “I don’t know what’s real anymore.” Well, that’s me. I didn’t believe any of it, initially, thinking it was a distraction. Then I saw livestreams and I am leaning toward option 4: WEF orchestrated. Part of the larger op. I understand how Putin has cause to respond for the violation of the agreements re his borders. Russia has also been implementing the Covid Psyop. He is a WEF graduate. So now, suddenly Ukraine’s an emergency? And he’s using the Left’s rationale for all their totalitarianism: Nazis! So, I will remain skeptical of all we see and hear.
October 2021 - Russia leading the way in the 4IR - https://www.weforum.org/press/2021/10/russia-joins-centre-for-the-fourth-industrial-revolution-network/
I vacillate, but 1 option you didn't list is that Putin is a primarily a nationalist striving to protect Russia & its oligarchs & its closest neighbors/relations from getting swallowed up by the Globalist nazi wolves.
Yes, WEF successfully recruited him to their ygl program & new program. Does that mean he vought into1 world gov under Klaus or anyone else? Maybe. Maybe not.
Yes, he meets & socializes with Kissinger. Ever hear the saying "keep your friends close & enemies closer?"
He's been biding his time since the soviet breakup to rebuild strength while US got bored with policing his neck of the woods.
It took dementia joe & his 2-bit hoe less than a year to run the US to the edge of a cliff. Now is the time for Putin to run the table, before Russian mud season begins and/or God sends a bolt of lightening & sets the US upright again.
I think perhaps they were really taken off-guard by the support the truckers received from undeniably "ordinary" "respectable" people who knew themselves not to be [insert your favorite Bad Group here], so for once the general public had no choice but to disbelieve the official narrative. And that support was growing everywhere. And heavy-handedness was finally boomeranging. So--"a little patriotic support for our leaders, please..."
NE: Just wondering--I was able to post comment above but can't "like" others' comments. Limited because I'm a free subscriber, or is this a system glitch?
Yes it does the same for me, often if I scroll down and then back up again, the like is showing
Sometimes a "like" on Substack does not seem to "take", but if you open the comment in a separate window, it will show up.
Thank you!
Its all theatre, but that doesn't mean that that there isnt a little real malice in it all. After all, siblings have forever competed with each other, and sometimes to the death. I guess Daddy Shwab is encouraging the boys to put the boot in. Much like those gypsy families that watch their kids beat ten bales of shit out of each other while egging it on for entertainment.
I'm just curious what Fauci's new job will be. "2 weeks to flatten Russia"??????????????????
Let's just hope they are all wearing their masks and maintaining social distancing.
Good call out of the globalist community.
Many people still do not know or understand what it means that the Bolshevik Revolution was financed by Wall Street (just as Harriman Bank financed the Nazi Party), or that Mao was funded through the U.S. State Department (with a thin excuse of trickery, "He tricked us!").
How much is coordinated, and why? These details are difficult, but one thing that is for certain is that whatever story the corporate media feeds its viewers is whatever the behavioral economists think will get them to behave in the manners that they want.
But it is still best to ask more questions, and hold competing hypotheses in mind.
"Ukraine becoming part of NATO is something Russia won’t back away from and only diplomatic negotiations and a step back by NATO will stop them."
While not the most exciting one, it is the one that is demonstrably true. It also has the advantage of not invalidating any of the others.
To understand russian politics, you must do so from a the perspective of Russia as it is and what it was - its history. Otherwise the analysis will only be projection of what you think it should be.
A very simple example: how would the US (or any non-US country) fare under the same embargoes? How would your nation react to the same treatment and situations as Russia has lived through since 1995?
This is no endorsment of Russia's invasions of its neighbours: it's just that understanding something and endorsing it are two separate things. I mention that because I'm too use to the climate of debate here in Sweden where voicing opinions outside the state's narrative feels like you're Proctor and Mauser at the Blue Oyster Bar.

This is what has happened in the states while eyes are focused on Ukraine.

That smelled like propaganda. Particularly when I saw an article last year that mentioned Utah being the first state to pilot a digital ID for drivers licenses and other purposes. Yes it mentioned a few services which could (under the wrong people) be used for cutting off rights of others.
Maybe they see it as inevitable and to get ahead of it so they're not told what to do with it.
Putin is learning what Hitler found out in Stalingrad, that hell hath no fury like a babuska with an AK-47. It is almost that Ukraine had to prove that it was a "for real" country and not a USSR escapee that would be better off back behind a new iron curtain. Their freedoms are being won again in blood. Virus has nothing to do with this. Besides, in the US Uncle Joe from Scranton will be telling us how great everything is Tuesday night. Going to have a hard time finding something, anything, he has not screwed up.
I think it is a mistake to assume that the elites forming the globalist cabal won't automatically have disputes and fights between them (after all the US and European Union countries are undoubtedly allies but that did not stop trade disputes over bananas and Airbus; nor did it stop a certain Ms Nuland saying the EU can go get screwed (in more vulgar language) when it came to Ukraine).
This isn't an organised distraction (though many in the West are milking it to serve as a distraction) but a real war with real stakes and real goals. Russia seems likely to reshape Ukraine to be at least something approaching Georgia, where it is chastened, and neutral and tries to carefully balance relational with Russia and the West even if economically it still maintains the EU association agreement. Ukraine becoming more like Belarus is also a possibility. Stephanie Brail (the Wholistic newsletter on substack) republished a timeline that was based on mainstream Western media sources that strongly hints at just how Western elites have gone against their own putative interests in collaborating with Chinese elites and how they effectively colonised Ukraine to turn into a rent-providing fief (when highly politically connected western persons with no experience in oil and gas can sit on a board of a Ukrainian energy company and be protected from investigation there is no other way to describe this than Western leaders duping ordinary Ukrainians about the prospects of joining the West while covertly turning Ukraine into a cash cow for themselves and their arms companies)
One can have factions even within supposedly unified groups such as political parties, why expect a global cabal of elites not to have factions too?
What's telling here is that Russia and China have clearly begun to coordinate more. India to some extent too (though less so because of their still active disputes with China). What happens here is a dress rehearsal for what happens in Taiwan within 10-15 years (anytime between tomorrow and 2037) - China will move in, Russia will back China and help cushion China from Western sanctions (or even a Western blockade of the South and East China Seas). And the same Rupee/Rouble payment system that India has proposed (and which is based off a system India used for Iran to get around Western sanctions) can be repurposed to include the Yuan in the future.
Theater at the finest. So very 'logical' strategic decision to attack a country after the pandemic is over! Not during the height when most of the people were ducking at home and scared to death of rona! Nooooo! When we are fed up with it and insurance companies are coming out wide and open regarding huge number of vaccine injuries. This 'war' just arrived at the most convenient time for everyone!
What will happen? A few months of back and forth and finally Russia will half retreat. They will not occupy ukraine to keep the bait alive. Also when new variant is here in October war will disappear and we are back at virus propaganda!
Right on time for another election.
