The key word in this release is “selected“. I would guess that any bank involved in state energy sales, and/or the bank of any energy company involved in the direct sales of Russian oil and gas, are not included.
Joint statement from NATO, EU Commission and White House:
WHITE HOUSE – […] As Russian forces unleash their assault on Kyiv and other Ukrainian cities, we are resolved to continue imposing costs on Russia that will further isolate Russia from the international financial system and our economies. We will implement these measures within the coming days.
Specifically, we commit to undertake the following measures:
First, we commit to ensuring that selected Russian banks are removed from the SWIFT messaging system. This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally.
Second, we commit to imposing restrictive measures that will prevent the Russian Central Bank from deploying its international reserves in ways that undermine the impact of our sanctions.
Third, we commit to acting against the people and entities who facilitate the war in Ukraine and the harmful activities of the Russian government. Specifically, we commit to taking measures to limit the sale of citizenship—so called golden passports—that let wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens of our countries and gain access to our financial systems.
Fourth, we commit to launching this coming week a transatlantic task force that will ensure the effective implementation of our financial sanctions by identifying and freezing the assets of sanctioned individuals and companies that exist within our jurisdictions. As a part of this effort we are committed to employing sanctions and other financial and enforcement measures on additional Russian officials and elites close to the Russian government, as well as their families, and their enablers to identify and freeze the assets they hold in our jurisdictions. We will also engage other governments and work to detect and disrupt the movement of ill-gotten gains, and to deny these individuals the ability to hide their assets in jurisdictions across the world.
Finally, we will step up or coordination against disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare.
We stand with the Ukrainian people in this dark hour. Even beyond the measures we are announcing today, we are prepared to take further measures to hold Russia to account for its attack on Ukraine. (read more)
WELCOME TO UKRAINE!! Making Molotov cocktails, lining up for guns: Ukrainians prepare for total war
https://commoncts.blogspot.com/2022/02/welcome-to-ukraine-making-molotov.html
I’ll take a T-72 tank over a guy with a “Molotov cocktail” every day of the week.
… but the other guy wins the manliness contest, hands down.
Interesting Youboob has not pulled those down.
German gov says that the ban only affects banks that were ” already sanctioned ” a few days ago.
@Osinttechnical
German government also “stunningly” (LOL) reversed its position on selling arms into conflict zones…
https://citizenfreepress.com/breaking/germany-blocking-weapons-shipments-to-ukraine/
Wish I could get a copy of the script ahead of time…. Sundance’s reporting is the next best thing…
I wonder if Deutsche bank is on that exclusion list?
Russian incursion, reformation, and partial land grab of Ukraine is not, per se, a calamitous event internationally. Raising any stakes to such that there is then international calamity would be foolish escalation.
Where that line is remains up for grabs, since it takes two to tango.
That said, if the stakes go too high, then seemingly all bets are off that traditional restraints remain intact. After all, when there is less or not much to lose, gamblers gamble and the intrepid move without fear. Best not to make the strong also desperate or uncaring.
No one thought the USA Parties would steal/conspire to give away a presidential election. That would be national calamity with lawlessness to ensue. And, then they did, without the ensuing calamity.
Be careful that such impossibilities do not become real.
If the entire Biden cabal is not a calamity, in your view, what is?
The regime is a calamity. Lawlessness would be another. The latter has not ensued. Some would argue that courts refusing to adhere to the law is the lawlessness, and in a sense that is technically accurate. However, in the main, lawlessness would imply chaos in the streets everywhere. That hasn’t arrived.
Exactly 💯 👍👌
Well, one would think the growing flash mobs looting stores would be an indication of lawlessness.
I get your point, but it would not take much to kick off “choas in the streets everywhere”.
Particularly when people get hungry because food is too expensive to deliver.
Yes, and this would be escalating things a great deal if it is indeed widespread. It may be just a dog and pony show however. Knowing these people in our government it probably is just that. Russia can make life hell for much of Europe if she so likes. Probably do quite a bit of harm to the US as well. I am still unsure of what we are dealing with here. I don’t know where Putin really stands with the Globalists. Best to keep in mind this whole thing could be for show, serving as a distraction and preparation to start the collapse of the world economies.
I’ve been wondering also about where Putin stands with the globalists. I found this on the World Economic Forum website:
Moscow, Russia,13 October 2021- Russia will take a leading role in shaping the trajectory of the Fourth Industrial Revolution. Today, leaders from the Russian Federation and the World Economic Forum announced the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Russia…The Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution Russia will be hosted by ANO Digital Economy in Moscow. ” Much more on the site.
And then there’s this speech by both Putin and Xi when they met at the Olympics in Feb. 4. It’s a long speech, but what caught my eye were the references to their intent to further the WEF’s Agenda 2030.
https://www.voltairenet.org/article215540.html
I read the reference. I think it is just more popcorn for NPC consumption. Another source, 2020 review of 2030 Agenda Sustainable Development Goals achieved by Putin et al, itemized and charted meetings and agreements that initiated the promulgations and pronouncements through the Russian Federacy for domestic consumption… but many are unfunded and never planned to be funded if you read between the lines… http://www.action4sd.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/Russia-VNR-report-2020.pdf very Yes Minister vibe, it gives the impression Putin has a political rival party more attune to the SDGs (“A total of 131 goals and targets contain only 57 of the 169 SDG targets. Meanwhile, SDG 13 and SDG 14 were not included in the policy paper at all…”), and the 100page report is very thin by comparison to similar agenda 2030 NGO cheerleading reports and summaries pumped out around the well-taxpayer-funded-first-world to recruit and fluff up supporters (agitprop). Its mostly lip service.
I was just on a pro Russian site.
There one gets a totally different perspective.
Cheers!
I go on pro Russian sites as well. Even though it seems Putin is a globalist, I still hope he is successful against the Ukro Nazi puppets in Ukraine.
Breaking News (Treehouse Bee)
Biden has canceled the fireworks display for his Ukrainian victory lap.
The ‘Treehouse Bee’…I love it! 🙂
I find the idea of putting on a sarc tag detestable. Unmolested, someone would come along demanding a link to the story. 🙂 I am putting you on the editorial staff so feel free to use it.
<I find the idea of putting on a sarc tag detestable.>
I agree, BD! Never used a sarc tag…even though half my comments fall into that category 🙂
I say:
Let he who is without grin…
Cast the first groan.
I think I might be a bit dyslexic – I am never quite certain whether or not I ought to put on a “sarc tag” so wind up not using one.
Anyone here think Brandon will actually do a SOTU speech, on Mar 5th?
Cancelled cause of “muh ongoing tensions in Ukraine”?
The ultimate wag the dog; Covid narrative collapsing, due to Omnicron, CanadianConvoy debacle, so need NEW Crises.
And, Biden not wanting to do SOTU speech, cause the State of the Union is worst in history, AND speech would be drowned out by HONK!, so repeatedly poke the bear, to get a responce, to justify postponing SOTU, and have a new crises to exploit.
So, how are they going to use this new crises, to justify their passports?
Putin is flooding the country (thru our unsecured Southern border?) with agent provocatuers,..who are creating this Truckers convoy thing,..a Electronic passport will counter that?
Mind you, 23 states, including red states with Rino governors HAVE already “signed on” to a Covid passport system.
If enacted, it will no doubt be necesary for any dealings with the government, banks, merchants, health care providers, etc.
So, refusing to get one, not an option as it will have the same effect as freezing bank account.
Oh, but it WILL NOT be required, to vote. Cause muh rascism.
Or, it will further cement their ability to control election outcomes.
Coming soon, to a tyranical dictatorship near you,..
“The ultimate wag the dog; Covid narrative collapsing, due to Omnicron, CanadianConvoy debacle, so need NEW Crises.”
From WeeWeed on the Saturday open thread:
“Coming soon, to a tyranical dictatorship near you,..”
Coming soon?
Dude – we’re there already
I thought the “State of the Union” addresses were given on a Tuesday evening . . . I don’t recall a Saturday evening . . . but maybe I am wrong (will check)
the SOTU address have never been anywhere near this late . . . WHY so late?
Your assumption is that Biden will give a truthful SOTU speech and is therefore avoiding the speech to avoid giving a true picture of what is going on in these united states.
Reality is Biden will lie, obfuscate and gaslight. The MSM will repeat the messaging with gravitas and glee.
If the SOTU speech is being avoided it is more likely the case that the puppet is becoming more rapidly incapable of giving it than was anticipated at its installation.
Despite all his good work over the years, Sundance is really missing the mark regarding Putin, blinded by the awfulness of our own political leadership. As a result, Sundance seems on the cusp of becoming a Putin fanboy and not just an appeaser. The vicious tyrant must be STOPPED and his evil regime ultimately destroyed. After 20 years of neglect on our part, it’s going to take great effort over many years. Cold War II is the only reasonable way forward I can see at this point.
Nope.
Anyone who advises a Cold War II as reasonable is nuts.
It’s the only way — infinitely better than.a HOT war. If we fail to realize this, we’ll lose our country.
What is your paymasters agenda here?
You need to remember your place and where you are because you do not belong here.
“Despite all his good work over the years, Sundance is really missing the mark regarding Putin, blinded by the awfulness of our own political leadership. As a result, Sundance seems on the cusp of becoming a Putin fanboy”
I absolutely belong here, and my perspective is desperately needed from what I see.
It’s that cold war stuff…it’s a little hyperbolic and reminiscent of how liberals speak through emotional responses rather than observation and logic. Our state department may have provided a war for the most selfish of reasons. Trump is right Russia should be a natural ally against islamofascism and China. Instead we re provoking him into aggressive actions against his neighbors when he may have used restraint otherwise. I’m not ignoring the complexity or Putins ruthlessness but our state department is the destabilizing element here.
Sundance is an invaluable commentator , possibly the best available . But he is not infallible. ….. This only means he is Human. ….. We all have our ” Blind Spots “. …….. Some-one who has noticed this , but still respects Sundance , should not be accused of ” Wrong-Speak.” …….. Think of Sundance as a River getting water from the Mountains to the Sea. Some water goes into Swamps , but most of it reaches the Sea. …… All on this Site would have some point that they disagree on with others . ……. What matters , is that most of the water gets to the Sea.
You were supposed to use the words “misogynist” and “racist”.
Can’t believe he left those out! And he missed homophobic, too! He’s not gonna get full payment from his handlers now…bahahahaha!
Soros just cut his pay grade…
These people are so easy to spot.
Why?
Sundance’s good work surrounds US government turning into Russia. Under this scenario, Edward Snowden made the better choice.
You failed to make your point
You can hate the lawless leftists destroying our country without taking the side of our foreign enemy.
You sound like the foreign enemy trying to rile us up to do YOUR dirty work. The Ukraine is still, under international law a territory of sovereign Russia..whether you like it or not. It has been stateless..probably on purpose for cabal’s provisionings, since the fall of the USSR. Zelensky is an Israeli. Tell me all about how this is for Ukranians sake again.
You have not made a case that Russia is our enemy.
If Putin does not stop with the Ukrain then I completely agree. If he does stop there, no American blood is worth the effort. Far better to use other means to punish him.
Punish him for what? Defending his people from the Ukronazis?
WTF? Russians were under no threat from Ukraine — not now, not ever. By contrast, Ukrainians have suffered grievously under CENTURIES of Russian tyranny, with depredations up to and including GENOCIDE.
Now yer just flat out lying. There is tons of evidence of the Ukronazi’s brutality to the civilians of Donbass and Lugensk. And how conveniently you skirt the issue of the Nazi’s responsibility for the deaths of some 20 million Russians defending against their invasion in WW2. As well. Ukraine has not been around for centuries. Ukraine was established in 1991 but has not ratified it’s borders with neighbors as real countries are supposed to do under international law. Prior it was The Ukraine..a territory and not a country with a mix if ethnicities as a transit route between Europe and Eurasia.
Sure they were. If Ukraine joined NATO, as had been discussed, or if Ukraine for nuclear weapons, as Zelenskyy suggested, that would be a serious threat right on their border. Not to mention the threat of a country ruled by a puppet government installed by the U.S. in 2014.
I hope Putin is successful and that Ukraine can have a true Ukrainian government, which is what Putin says he wants. He does not want Ukraine for Russia. He wants Ukraine to be ruled by Ukrainians, not the Ukro Nazi puppets installed by Obama.
I know that Putin is no saint, and I’ve recently seen evidence that he supports the globalist agenda. But I do believe he is in the right. And I say that as someone whose grandmother was born in Ukraine, in a small town south of Kiev, a town whose name I see every day on the maps they show.
That’s why I advocate a second Cold War.
FCK OFF, PISSANT!
Notice how many of us choose screen names, that ARE legitimate words?
“Durchman”,” Az Patriot”, a recognisable name.
And some bots screen names which aren’t,..like sfdebre? WTF is THAT?
I noticed awhile back, when searching to buy certain products online, there will always be one or two, in the top searches, that have a price significantly lower than the rest.
They also have weird, nonsensical not word
names.
And all you have to do is START to type “Is fzrbit.com l,…and “egitimate” is completed which leads you to a site saying, essentially no its not.
nuff said, except to say these AI bots ARE getting better. Gramatically sfdebre “sounds” like a “real person” wrote it.
Interesting. Be a shame to lose discourse to AI.
Many of these Russian soldiers are well seasoned exterminating Obama/Biden/CIA/saudi Arabia/Turkey backed ISIS & Al-Cia-Duh terrorists (who we were told did 9/11) in Syria. Protecting Syria’s large Christian community.
You are delusional. It is sad to see sheeple follow the main stream media script. The sheeple don’t know the history of the area, the demographics, the politics, or the underlying motives; but they jump right on the fake news media Russia! Putin! bad man theater, just like they did Trump! Orange man bad! theater. Sad.
Yup!
Canada is my prime example!
For weeks we saw media, pundits,politicians,etc. Spew outrageous lies and propaganda!
The orange man bad idiots are still eating up the propaganda!
except for the first sentence ad hominem, I agree completely
👍precisely!
SFDEBRE,
O fn pulleeease with that BS. Ever hear of the advice avoid Foreign intaglment, stay out of other peoples business. The US is neck deep in fraud and corruptions. Concentrate on what matters to make this country survive, instead of what appears to be YOUR personal agenda
Our political leadership is AWFUL, but that’s no justification to align with our national enemies.
stop….it’s embarassing.
Covid madness has resulted in a significant increase in suicide rates. That appears to be bleeding over into message boards.
That you find the truth embarrassing says a great deal about you.
That was nice Jen, can’t wait to see your follow-up in the monday press briefing.
Yeah umm you know where you can put your cold war II tripe?
Hey, are you one of them fbi recruits that were pictured hanging together acouple of months ago? Why did
they make you wear those gay suburban shorts with them sunglasses? Was that some kind of fbi hazing ?
You LIKE being treated that way? Bet you were forced to stay in ya house til dark for months afterwards.
Tsk tsk. Shame.
You are a total dip$h!T! The US govt has been doing NOTHING but antagonizing the Russians for the last 20 years. The Russians have done nothing compared to what the evil regime in this country has done. Lets count them shall we, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Egypt, Syria (we still illegally occupy). Ukraine in 2014 was our dirty work! Not to mention the former Yugoslavia, and our antics in South America.
It’s funny how quickly they trotted you guys out. You shills may be the proof I have been scratching my head since this kicked off. Thank you for helping me. Your mass deployment has convinced me that Putin’s intentions are indeed genuine. He must be working against the globalists at least at the moment. The leadership in DC and Intel was definitely caught off guard by his actions. You and the media are the counter measures for DC’s failure. Lol “Bring out the swarm of idiots” I can hear Obama saying it now.
Obama’s lips may be moving but ValJ, Victoria Nuland and Susan Rice are doing the thinking. We have leadership by committee and none of them were elected.
Go back to the Hill. You’ll fit right in there
I can remember back in 2002-2003 when everyone who didn’t fall in line and say Sadaam was the most evil man, ever ever and had WMDs and supported the Iraq invasion was a “Sadaam Hussain fanboy” and an “appeaser”. Man, it never changes does it?
The boy who cried Munich.
🖕🖕
Fanboy? Appeaser?
Go piss up a rope.
Not a chance…Putin actually supports and protects his citizens, unlike our leaders in the District of Criminals…And the leaders of the Ukraine, who have been shelling the Russian areas ruthlessly for 8 years, and have killed untold men, women, and children, are the scum of the earth…
Not hardly… Putin is possibly our only ally against the DC Junta and their globalist fascista around the western world.
Wouldn’t have to stop Putin if US hadn’t been provoking Russia with NATO expansion beginning in 1998. Clinton brought in Poland, Hungary, and Czech Republic. Why wasn’t NATO disbanded shortly after the Warsaw Pact?
Putin would be just another dictator getting rich selling oil and gas to Europe if it wasn’t for the neocons and globalists driving US foreign policy.
If this war goes 10 days, Russian defeat looms. Putin is going to have a tough time remaining in office. Tomorrow is #5. We don’t have a Putin problem, Russia does. Russians will take care of the issue. Americans will take care of the Biden issue.
You go stop him. Not my fight.
That hybrid appears again,
“Finally, we will step up or coordination against disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare”
Hybrid warfare = forked tongue.
Hybrid Warfare is these Leftist CockS*ckers bankrupting America as a whole, (except for they and their friends bank accounts ) while pretending they are doing the exact opposite. They are full blown Communist Marxist SCUM.
Financial sanctions against Russia……
and when Russia cuts off Europe and US energy……??????
Another Great Depression……??????
Spring cleaning.
Except the USA has oil capacity to be self sufficient. If Biden still wouldn’t open up the oil fields I believe all of the Government would be running for their lives.
we will soon revist that very subject in real time. and it will be televised.
If I was Russia that is what I would do,would take about two days, cut it off.
Putin was waiting for us to ask for it. “You don’t want our products and will sanction Russians. No problem, we will sell to China.” And then Germany, and New England, freeze in the dark without Russian natural gas.
New England will freeze? Hey I’m all for that!
Great Depression II = prerequisite for Great Reset
“Economic problems? We have JUST the solution for you….”
GB, That is why I am still on the fence on if this whole thing is scripted or not. Probably not and one hopes the Globalists are finally catching a left hook. It’s hard to say where Russia & China tie into this tangled web of deceit.
If China Joe would only pull his dead out of the orifice where the sun doesn’t shine and turn our oil industry loose, we would have all the oil we need and be net exporters again. The problem is and has always been Biden and the cabal behind the curtain pulling his strings.
there is a LOT of money in the AGW/CC scam….don’t believe me?….ask Al Gore who is now worth north of $300M
And getting paid $50K per month to sit on the board of a Ukrainian natural gas company.
Any bank that didn’t return Hunter’s calls has been sanctioned.
Sweet and charming Americans cannot imagine, cannot conceive that their government has fallen into the hands of people totally and utterly corrupt. Because democracy does not select the corrupt.
Except this government was not chosen by any democratic means. As we know.
If you was Putin, why wouldn’t you just announce, that’s what is good for some Russian banks, is good for all. If the west removes some banks from SWIFT, Russia will remove all. Watch as oil goes to $200/bbl and Russia shuts off the EU and sells only to China.
The green movement in the west has given Russia all of the cards to play to completely disrupt western economies and markets. Insane.
Putin the judo master. That is what this whole thing looks like to me. Serious shock and awe,with under 100 Ukrainians killed, last I heard. Then he gets us to overreact and poof, we (Germans with natural gas and the US losing its reserve currency status) are very screwed. But at least he didn’t have to nuke us.
The WEF few simulated/war gamed a viral pandemic before the chyna virus and then again last year they simulated/war gamed a cyber-pandemic. Maybe trying to cancel Russian trade by computer will boomerang on the world computers because AFAIK Russia dominates in hackers and viruses etc. All your servers belong to us. Backup your HDD. Is your local ATM online or offline?
That video is epic… Empty Russian vodka bottles used for Molotov cocktails. Lol, karma came to dance.
Even more amazing, no one was drunk.
That would lead to forgetting to not light up a smoke.
He had a bad release on the mag, they do not release that easily.
Thist shows how it works,
Ty for posting the video. Another treeper had a picture of two clown actors in “Ukraine” holding fake weapons. they looked cardboard or something
Citizen Soldiers were drilling with dummy weapons while waiting to get real ones. …… Early in W.W. 11 Australian troops trained with Broom-sticks. …… It was these Militia , not Regular Army , who sorted out the Russian Paratroopers at the Capital,s Air-field. ….. Don,t laugh at them.
Apparent translation: sanctions tailored for evening news, not for grave effect on Russia.
EU countries have become energy dependent on Russia. So, all this ‘Swift cutoff’ babble is malarkey.
Any sanctions against Russia with actual teeth would most assuredly be met by Putin immediately cutting off the oil & gas to them…
Remember, President Trump warned of the stupidity of the EU/NATO countries depending on their ‘enemy’ for energy resources. Told it right to their faces, too…
NATO is all but dead & buried.
If all this buries NATO, then from general disaster will arise one solid good.
I knew as soon as I saw it that they were toothless. Germany can’t lose Russian gas.
Article from 4 days ago
“…Removing Russian access would constitute an economic shock that U.S. politicians and corporations would rather not instigate. There’s a more complicated and consequential explanation, however, that has to do with anxiety over the U.S. dollar’s status as global reserve currency. SWIFT sanctions, rather than being a “nuclear option” thwarting Russia, could be the first domino in a sequence of events that bolster China- and Russia-backed alternative digital payment systems. Such sanctions might also, in the long run, steer emerging markets toward blockchain-based systems that would reduce global reliance on the U.S.-centric international monetary system. Altogether, SWIFT sanctions could very well incite the dedollarization of the world economy…”

^^^^^^^^^^^ THIS is the Big Clubs master plan
Indirectly, something very similar is what Justin almost/did trigger, with his reckless freezing of bank accounts, which is why he reversed himself, while Freeland pissed herself.
IF they intend to collapse the Financial system, as a part of the great reset, they want/need to do it on their terms, and their timing.
Otherwise, instead of using the manuever to get it all, they LOSE it all.
How much doth it profit a Billionaire, if fiat $ becomes worthless?
Our $100, $1000 or $10,000 becomes worthless paper, but his $billion also becomes worthless.
Point is, our enemy is HIGHLY vulnerable, KNOWING your enemy means, amongst other things KNOWING their vulnerabilities, so you can exploit them, their strengths so you can counter them,..it means knowing and understanding how they think, what do they fear, what do they aspire to, etc.
Fighting our enemy, without truly KNOWING our enemy, is like boxing in a pitch black room, with an opponent that has night vision goggles.
And there are some very strange, observable qualities about our enemy.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Same old song and dance.
THEN: Big Pharma and GlobalCorporate media promoting and propagandizing Covid & The Vaccines.
NOW: Military Industrial Complex and GlobalCorporate media promoting & propagandizing Putin-Biden & The Ukraine.
Normals are being HAD by a bunch of overpaid demonic psychos. U.S bureaucracy is bossed by psychos & sociopaths. They stole the election from us and shoved that half-dead demented puppet Biden out front to take the heat off themselves…while our southern border is overrun.
The SWIFT messaging system has been hacked and can be hacked.
Because of its importance it would seem that entities would have considered this and planned accordingly.
Bad or good. 🤔
ABC newz reports on new domestic ‘ cyber-risks ‘ faced by US companies.
( see ….. see ….. we told you , always trust tee-vee newz ) /s/
The CIA doesn’t normally telegraph their plans like that.
Really ??????
There must be 20 movies about just the one topic of ” Germs got loose ” from a lab ……
Except for false flags. “Hey everyone. When this happens, it will be the Ruskies.” And by the way, the World Economic Forum had a big cyber attack exercise last summer.
Just more posturing.
Everyone’s stuck buying oil and gas from Russia.
The whole thing stinks.
#FJB
As long as they will sell is to us.
Remember the phrase Mutual Assured Destruction? It only works if both sides are rational and pursuing their own self interest. Let’s call attention to some specific dots, connect them up and play them out.
Great Reset. But “reset” from what? It would have to be something really devastating.
General Milley assures China he would give them a heads up on any launch order against China and would not follow it.
China and Russia form a friendly alliance.
Joe baits Russia into invading Ukraine.
Russia says remove Russia from SWIFT and all restraints are off.
So – play it out.
US and NATO take some Russian banks out of SWIFT. Russia responds by ramping up Ukraine operations. US and NATO and EU respond by taking all of Russia out of SWIFT. Back against the wall, Russia launches against US, NATO, and EU. US responds in kind and takes out Russia. No one launches against China, and China escapes as the last power standing. Russia, Europe, and US are wastelands. Now THAT is a reset! Problem is, these folks are bat shit crazy enough to think this is a good plan.
Putin is not that stupid. He may be an icy autocrat, but he’s not an idiot.
Full removal from SWIFT would result in more harm to Western Europe than Russia when the spigot gets turned off. That’s why “selected” banks, those already subjected to the previous sanctions were included. All for show.
Mutually Assured Destruction only works when leaders want their country to survive. Obama/Biden does not.
China and its American vassal regime goaded Russia into feeling threatened.
Clinton and Soros have wanted a Russian War forever.
We stand with the Urkrainian People.
Just not in Ukraine.
The truth was really “Democrat-Ukraine Collusion & Election meddling” in 2016

I’m thinking lots of people in American government belong in supermax.
“Finally, we will step up or coordination against disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare.”
Social media purge incoming.
Being anti-war will soon be branded as “dangerous misinformation” spread by “foreign intelligence assets.”
thegrugq is behind klaush schwab’s next state department cyber attack?
I read it that way too. “Enablers” plus “disinformation ” = question the disinformation or point out the video game footage, we pull a Baby Fidel and cut off not only your social media but freeze your bank accounts.
Notice the distinct lack of any limitation of the “measure ” to Russian citizens or agents of the Russian power. No, this one reads like it is directly aimed at Sundance and Treepers and anyone else out there who might undermine the nudges.
this only has the effect of hurting the common citizens.
the very wealthy oligarths and the “informed” have their monies in hidden offshore accounts and mostly that is in the UK!
Likewise, the sanctions against “certain” individuals “close” to putin excludes about 90 percent of the actual russian criminals who run the show. Again, they have vast fortunes in offshore banks and investments worldwide.
shutting down swift will have no effect on putin/russia influence and power.
notice who opposed this?
germany and many others.
and why wouldn’t they?
russian natgas resources and the supply of it jeopardizes everything in their own country…about 40 percent of oil and 60-70 percent of natural gas,
imagine in the hard cold dead of winter, when people wake up to no power..or prices that are prohibitive. How long would the “elite” survive that reaction? About a week, maybe less. The economy is already weak, it would collapse beyond repair and a mass exodus out of europe would happen by all major market makers.
It’s been a bit of a mess for a bit, but gosh darn, we are living history. Ukraine is Canadian Truckers on steroids.
Ill-gotten gains?
So, are they going after the drug cartels?
How do they have any credibility if they never went after the drug cartels?
Is this another WEF “special” – like freezing the bank accounts of the truckers AND their supporters in Canada?
Good grief, Klaus and his minions are like kudzu!
Oddly enough, a small flock of goats can easily contain kudzu.
Metaphorically speaking, low tech may be the answer to big tech sprawl and overreach.
Yeah, a reporter asked yesterday something like;
“Why haven’t you simply frozen their Oil revenues, and is that on the table?”
In his lame answer, Brandon said they weren’t, and had no plans to, while saying its on the table, in a very unconvincing way.
Obviously, freeze their oil $, you freeze the oil, and Europe freezes.
As long as the oil continues to flow, the $ from the oil continues to flow, and these sanctions aren’t going to bite, that hard.
And, one is tempted to ask;
“If Russia is such a terrible, heartless monster, as its now being portrayed, WHY is it only NOW that you are doing this?
WHY do you “allow” Russia, China, Iran etc. to
do ANY “Business” with the West?”
And they really have no good answer for that, its their own policy, that opened up trade with China.
the answer of course is that globalism (world trade) benefits the few, the elite, and maintains super edges for political bodies. The entire premise of world trade at this scale is to enrich the 1 percent.
the reality is that IF the US were to find the willpower, politically (we already have the labor force and the technology and infrastructure and certainly the resources), we would be setting a domestic growth agenda like no other country on earth.
but there isn’t money to be made in this way for the elite. It is pennies on the dollar compared to what they can acquire with global trade.
so they chose that. and devour all capabilities of the US ever returning to a productive, growth based, industrialized nation.
then there is the graft. As bad as the DOJ.FBI.FTC.SEC is here being corrupt …it also represents a threat to do graft busines at scale here. offshoring it makes the graft and corruption at the subject of just paying off a foreign political body…or worse, threatening them with military action/sanctions, etc.
globalism at the root was formed to provide incredible wealth to the few….
Bankers Wars Bankers Wars. Everywhere a Bankers War. Here a Bankers War there a Bankers War. Now its not just Nation against Nation. Armies against Armies. Now its Bankers against Bankers. Thats how powerful they’ve become. Bankers Wars Bankers Wars and no more happy childhood.
Mike in a Truck: Seriously. The last thing I want is global bureaucrats playing chicken with the world’s banking systems.
Russia supported the North during the Civil War. Sent a dozen warships to help. So Russia helped our Nation end slavery. This means if you are against Putin, you are proslavery, and hate black people.
Am I doing this the right way?
👍
Saw this elsewhere –
Air Force One crashed on a farm in Virginia
Panic stricken, the local sheriff mobilized and descended on the farm in force. When they got there, the disaster was clear. The aircraft was totally destroyed with only a burned hull left smoldering in a tree line that bordered a farm.
The sheriff and his men entered the smoking mess but did not find the remains of anyone, including the President. They spotted a lone farmer ploughing a field not too far away as if nothing at all happened. They hurried over to the man’s tractor.
“Hank,” the sheriff yelled, panting and out of breath. “Did you se
e this terrible accident happen?”
“Yup. Sure did,” t he farmer said, cutting off his motor.
“Do you realize that is the airplane of the President of the United States?”
“Yup.”
“Were there any survivors?”
“Nope. They’s all kilt straight out. I done buried them all myself. Took me most of the morning.”
“Oh my god. Joe Biden is dead?”
“Well,” the farmer grumbled, restarting his tractor. “He kept a-saying he wasn’t… but you know what a liar he is!”
He SAID he was sending in Peace Keepers…So….
He refused to talk to Biden. Said he was the president of nothing
Pelosi, Romney , Biden and Kerry all have sons in the Ukranian gas businesses….
USA owns many bio weapon labs that were destroyed. Cherynobyl i read was an area where child trafficking, drugs, money and weapons were sorted out in the tunnels that cross the country of Ukraine!
Sundance nailed it.
These are Fake Sanctions. The Potamkin Media needs more stories to tell.
Winter is cold. No ‘story’ will warm Europe like Russian gas does.
that’s the story they must never tell out loud.
but the people are awake now, and are talking.
and so it goes from stage 3 to stage 4…very soon.
God Bless America
be prepared and stay frosty…
How many of you know that Ukrainian Nazis started shelling Donbass on February 17th?
Or that some 70,000 children, women and disabled were evacuated to Russia days before the “invasion?”

You’re being lied to by the same people who convinced everyone that Trump is an agent of Russia.
I guess I am a Putin “fangirl” – standing up for the sovereignty of his nation – not going along with the globalist/WEF people that are making more messes everywhere for free people than a sick dog.
I see Putin as a bulwark of what we used to call “Western civilization” – yes, he was the head of the KGB – so what? George H. W. Bush was the Director of the CIA!
And a member of the Fascist Council On Foreign Relations
That picture seems to say ~ The enemy of my enemy is my friend.
I’m sure it’s way more complicated than that.
Not my war I say we send Biden,his entire family,and his staff along with a “few” others over there to fight this BS.
Perhaps they will at least protect Burisma graft/grift
“First, we commit to ensuring that selected Russian banks are removed from the SWIFT messaging system. This will ensure that these banks are disconnected from the international financial system and harm their ability to operate globally.”
Yeah. As if those Russian banks will not do business with other Russian banks who still have access to SWIFT.
“Third, we commit to acting against the people and entities who facilitate the war in Ukraine and the harmful activities of the Russian government. Specifically, we commit to taking measures to limit the sale of citizenship—so called golden passports—that let wealthy Russians connected to the Russian government become citizens of our countries and gain access to our financial systems.”
Well, this is interesting.
What could go wrong?
No GoFundMe for Russia then! 😂😂
The strategy of giving Putin nothing, and beating him with a stick when he doesn’t do EVERYTHING we want, doesn’t seem to be working. Maybe all the big brains know what they’re doing. But then they’ve gotten it wrong, way wrong in the past.
Yeah, a guarantee of Ukraine neutrality and no NATO would probably do it, perhaps those two provinces remain independent. They don’t want to be part of Ukraine anyway.
I sympathize with that, given what’s going on in the US. How many of us would mind if California and company “broke away”? Wasn’t the US a breakaway from King George? So damn many double standards and rank hypocrisies.
Oooof. POTATUS going all out.
Perfect!!!! Give China and Russia more rational for replacing the grossly over-inflated US dollar. The globalist leftists sure know how to destroy what was the greatest nation on earth in a very short time
“ We will also engage other governments and work to detect and disrupt the movement of ill-gotten gains, and to deny these individuals the ability to hide their assets in jurisdictions across the world.”
They were not already doing this? I guess somebodies ill-gotten gains are better than others.
precisely!
Translation: we will ensure the safety of our ill-gotten gains and their efficient transfer before their discovery by the bad bad Russians
SD: here is a very interesting analysis (I smell a book will soon come out of this) of the causes of this catastrophe : https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/ukraines-deadly-gamble
Make me laugh!! The bank of China has the russkies more than covered!!
Meanwhile videos and pics emerge of fake guns, video game footage and war pics of Zelensky from last April. Theres something fishy about all of this. Mockingbird media. The SWIFT disengagement is punishment for not bowing to the WEF. But its effects are aimed at us.
Cash in your dollars now and buy what you can while you can.
Do you see the pic of Putin and Xi?
We are soon to no longer be the reserve currency/petro dollar of the world.
Just a heads up, not trying to scare anyone.
all this does is hasten the downfall of the dollar as international reserve currency.
we are led by fools.
They are not fools. They are following orders of people whose agenda is destruction.
Bye bye petrodollar
Bank games will likely ensue to show USD strength short term, until the public forgets.
This is all Kabuki Theater while the globalists and eugenicists march on toward their objectives. Do not be distracted. Keep your vigilance up and fight for your God given individual rights. Do not surrender to these evil people!
US Dollar maintains its position as reserve currency. Will Russia/China/India and a smattering of other countries create new transactional platform uncoupled from SWIFT and the global banking cartel?
Who is the white house proofreader? “Finally, we will step up or coordination against disinformation and other forms of hybrid warfare.” Can you find the typo??
coordinate
American education at its best
Uh-Oh …..
#Belarus to hold referendum on Feb 27 to allow Russian nuclear weapons on its territory
NEXTA @nexta_tv
@MarketRebels
I am sure that is in the best interest of the good citizens of Belarus .
I want someone to say to George Soros, “back off, Boogaloo”
and to Klaus Schwab, “you, too!”
