When we shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that. Question everything. Take nothing at face value.
If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving. It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information. Everyone has an agenda.
Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community. The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.
The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine. The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.).
It is very easy to become a victim of psychological warfare intended to manipulate our opinions.
The neocons, war promoting agents working on behalf of the UniParty and the collective globalist interests, are all united in their effort.
Unfortunately, almost everything being transmitted from corporate news into our psyche is part of a battle for your mind. The goal is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.
This is why people who are familiar with these types of tactics often tap-out when the drumbeats get loudest.
{SEE HERE}
The White House, which means the total globalist effort, tipped their hand earlier last week when they defined “strategic power” and their outlook toward winning the battle for the mind. Everything is about writing a script, creating a narrative, building a “better story,” where the globalists are the heroes. In essence, the “strategic power” battle is for your mind…
…”Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let’s define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done.
In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”
Everything in modern warfare is storytelling.
Question all of it.
The stories of the 13 guards on an island telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off… yeah, it was a lie (turns out they surrendered). The “Ghost of Kyiv” pilot, the lady with the sunflower seeds etc., now all recognized as lies and propaganda. And do not expect it to stop, because it won’t. Thus, the nature of warfare for your mind.
Hearing ANYONE ASKING the IMPORTANT QUESTIONS?
• Does Russia’s opposition equate to President Kennedy’s opposition to Russian missiles in Cuba?
• Does the USA-led NATO expansion invite ChYna and Russia to put bases and missiles in such far-fetched adjacent countries as
… Cuba (as a Russian-Missile Redux)
… Mexico (after Beijing Biden flooded the zone with Invading Hoards of Illegals) or even
… Canada (in the event that a Canadian General Strike for Freedom might trigger Trudeau to ask ChYna to Send-in-their-Truckers)?
• Do Financial Sanctions, including banning Russian entities from the SWIFT transaction system, force Russia and ChYna to create their own International Transaction System
… for Exports of Energy, Metals & Minerals, Commodities and Manufactured Goods
… including from Belt & Road Countries whose Ports and Mines are already controlled by and run by ChYna
… and other Countries whose Regimes could not survive without Chinese Exports
… with the “unthinkable” option to create Gold-backed Currencies of their own, given their massive conversion of USA Treasury holdings to Gold
… Destroying the Dollar’s role as the Global Reserve Currency and plummeting the value of the Dollar in the process?
• Can Western Economies survive without the above exports,
… or afford to pay Extortion-Level Price Hikes, and
… and how long would it take them to reconstitute domestic sources,
… or could alternative domestic sources for the required raw material inputs even be found?
• Could Western Economies afford to say “No” to Russian Energy-Export requirements
… for NON-DOLLAR Payment-in-Advance
… in Gold or other Commodities?
• Can Western Economies replace Ukranian Exports of Food, Fertilizer and Energy
… if Russia’s Crimea-based Navy imposes an Embargo on Ukrainian-Export Shipments
… from ALL Ukrainian Ports in the Sea of Asov and the Black Sea?
• If Economic Sanctions destroy Russia’s Inbound/Outbound Shipping (France just took possession of a Russian Ship in the English Channel), much less the entire Russian Economy, would Putin and the Russian Regime choose “Surrender” or “Scorched-Earth Destruction”
… of Gas Pipelines to Western Europe with Cyber Attacks or Missiles
… or European Electrical Grids with Cyber Attacks
… or Western Shipping with Submarines
… or Western Ports with Missiles
• Would ChYna seize the opportunity to concurrently Embargo Taiwan
… withholding their combined 70% of Global Semiconductor Supply
… until Taiwan folds like Hong Kong?
==> What if Putin and Zelenskyy stepped outside the box and revealed how the Deep State, Demo☭rat Autocracy and Global Cabal have been using Ukraine, including
… the Coup to take out President Trump,
… the Obama-Biden Extortion Racket,
… the Global Money-Laundering Kickback Regimes and
… the Bioweapons Labs, just for starters.
I would like to see any paperwork or other types of evidence relating to the Biden Crime Family’s dealings with Ukraine.
Miranda Devine and Peter Schweizer have it covered.
Read “The Laptop From Hell”. A documented crime on every page
yeah, I brought up the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962 the other day, I remember us stocking the cellar with canned goods
and yeah, I think NATO has been pushy about inducting countries right on Russia’s border
I’d consider that a parallel to ’62 (your 1st question)
Beware the military industrial complex.
Apparently people in Lockheed’s board room were heard cheering when Russia invaded.
We had no cellar, just a school desk to crouch under. Yeah, the god old bad old days.
We had a cellar because the house was heated by a coal furnace we had to shovel into.
Window at ground level for them to position the coal slide to top us off in a wood-slat bin for storage

Why did Ukraine parliament outlaw Communism and Nazism? – The People’s Cube
Interesting insights from expatriate Oleg Atbashian:
“Russia’s state-run media cleverly conflates Soviet nostalgia with being Russian or being part of Pax Russiana. This sentiment, fully supported by Ukrainian communists, was effectively used to start a war that has killed more than 6,000 people since April last year and is still simmering in the eastern regions of Ukraine.
Under these circumstances, a ban on communist propaganda and the condemnation of the USSR as a criminal totalitarian regime serves a very concrete purpose of protecting the nation’s sovereignty and independence at a time of war. In this sense, it functions as a Treason and Sedition Act aimed to disable the Fifth Column which is aiding the foreign enemy from within.
Most Eastern Bloc and some post-Soviet nations marked their independence with policies of de-communization, cleansing their governments of corrupt officials and dismantling the communist legacies in their cultures and psychology. This worked much to their advantage, strengthening their democratic institutions, transparency, international standing, and ultimately their economies.
That had never happened in Ukraine, let alone Russia. Though de jure an independent nation, Ukraine continued to vegetate in Russia’s shadow, instructed by Russia’s media, and manipulated by Russia’s elites who were interested in keeping Ukraine vulnerable, dependent, and corrupt.
In the end, communist movements in Ukraine and other Eastern European nations aren’t as much about the Marxist theory as they are about the return of Russia’s domineering role in the region. With the inevitability of a speeding freight train, a restoration of Russia’s dominance will also bring back economic, cultural, and political subjugation, Russification, brain drain, persecution of local nationalism and the implied status of inferior people for all non-Russians.
Kyiv’s official condemnation of Nazism serves a very different purpose: it aims to undercut Russia’s grotesquely surreal canard that describes last year’s Maidan Revolution in Kyiv as a U.S.-backed fascist coup d’état. Repeated over and over, the Russian media’s portrayal of Ukrainians as Nazis has gone a long way to pit ethnic Russians against the formerly brotherly nation.”…….
I’m a long time fan of Oleg Atbashian but it seems to have escaped him that the “Azov Battalion” which I’ve read is the Ukrainian National Guard is full blown Neo Nazi’s who terrorize certain portions of the population. .
Yes, that was my understanding but I wanted his POV.
Ukraine’s Zelensky has unfollowed all on twitter: Володимир Зеленський (@ZelenskyyUa) / Twitter
One of what I call “The Beautiful Questions”
How do you know what you think you know?!
Simple and concise question. Essays and books could be written in answer.
Ask Belinda the good witch
FYI, the second is “To What End?”
An Epistemology 101 question.
The final arbiter of truth of an idea, is the crucible of history, that is, see how it works in practice as applied to political economy over an extended period of time.
Those ideas which stand the test of time as anti-entropic in effect, either by increased power of man’s labor as with machinery, or ability to gain even deeper insights as with intellectual culture, are eventually elevated to be regarded as universal principles.
It is the ability to rediscover these universal principles, which sets apart man from beast, as in human creativity and spirituality.
That difference defines the necessity of a politics which acknowledges that difference, and most political debate must arrive at that question, on if we can claim to know something.
Well, we can see that doubt of the knowability of knowledge is the beginning of superstition, and is used to deny mankind his birthright, that is, what it means to know something.
Thus, it is a self-fulfilling prophecy, a form of gaslighting, indeed used by many empires to keep the masses suppressed, to deny that we can know universal principles, or that objective truth itself subsumes reality as experienced by the senses.
Mr_Mayhem, indeed. Well written, sir, and cuts right to the heart of the matter of what we’re witnessing in real time.
Propaganda has always been a dimension of warfare. The one inescapable TRUTH in this conflict, however, is the fact that Vladimir Putin is a vicious, amoral TYRANT and the aspiring Hitler of our age. He is a menace to the peace of the world and must be STOPPED. That doesn’t necessarily mean through direct military confrontation by the USA and NATO, but the longer we delay in any effective response, the more likely a direct military confrontation becomes, and on increasingly disadvantageous term.
Speaking of vicious, amoral TYRANTS, Putin has banned George Soros and his Foundation as a security Threat since 2015.
Putin – the enemy of our very worst enemy.
And as far as we know has harbored American fugitive Edward Snowden for almost a decade.
I’ve said it before:
We should extradite George Soros to Hungary.
Soros put this Zelenskyy into office too. If Putin was a tyrant, he would have crushed Kiev with constant carpet bombing from day 1. If he unleashes the Chenchens, then he becomes a closer to a tyrant.
Why would he want to inflict massive damage on Ukraine that he’ll have to fix? No, he wants to conquer Ukraine with as little destruction as possible.
Vicious tyrants aren’t always wrong, I suppose.
This brearhless hyperbole is unhelpful to all but the Uniparty.
It’s not hyperbole. It’s FACT.
yawn
So Donald Trump knew of this Ukraine money laundering & destabilization of governments including our own? Asking for a friend.
Donald Trump did an amazing lot of good in his 4 years as POTUS when one remembers that he was treated like a one legged man in an ass kicking contest.
The people in his administration that didn’t try to stab him in the back is a rather short list.
I thought that everyone knew that stuff.
He tried his best to expose it and the democrats tried to impeach him for it. Did you just crawl out of a cave? Good grief.
Does the name Vindman ring any bells for Pete’s sake?
Everyone knew.
Hard to say if he know, or how much he knew. What we do know is he got impeached for simply asking about it.
Too bad for them my mind is sealed in a titanium box with no key.
Sundance has got this all wrong.
The Ukrainians are wining one glorious victory after another and the Russians are being slaughtered across all of Ukraine and soon all the way to Moscow.
Why just in the last hour, over 1,000 Russian troops were killed. And that is only a very partial count as it doesn’t include all those many thousands who were killed by Alexander Vindman, and his brother, Dan Crenshaw, Lindsey Graham, Richard Blumenthal, Marco Rubio, Liz and Dick Cheney, Adam Kinzinger and Ted Nugent in hand to hand combat.
I’ve heard that John Kerry donned his medals once again and is leading the charge!
No doubt securing the Dnieper River in his swift boat.
John Kerry, as I recall, re-enacted and filmed the event for which he was awarded a “hero” metal. It was in the 60’s and filming it took quite a bit of effort. But why would it occur to somebody to do that? What a psycho. I read an article about the real stories behind his other metals but I don’t recall them clearly. What I do remember was my reaction to them. He is truly a huge POS and, I believe, an actual psychopath.
Da Nang Dick and Pierre Delecdildo are on their way to help as well.
I hear that Carlos Danger is gearing up to parachute in to help too.
I would add John Bolton also.
Are you sure it wasn’t Michael?
Did you forget to put a /s after your first sentence? 😉
Yes.
No. I don’t believe in that. It would be an insult to those reading it.
It shouldn’t be necessary …
but my sarcasm detection circuits have been on overload for more than a year …
blowing fuses all over the place ;-P …. /s
Haha. I love it. Thank you. The sarcasm is understood and appreciated. Fox news is the worst too. I want to throw up every time I look at their “news” website. They really seem to be vested in the Ukraine money laundering scam. Probably that creep and sellout Paul Ryan. He probably took over McStain’s Ukranian portfollio.
Paul Ryan is working two shifts to support his extended family.
And Sean Penn. Don’t forget Sean Penn.
Don’t forget Mitt Romney and his magic underwater shot down 8 Russian MIGs just today.
Our household feels the exact same way…….ugh
Decent, on the ground coverage from within Ukraine and Russia by left wing US network Vice News.
Invasion of Ukraine: A VICE News Tonight Special Report
26 Feb 2022
Our people are on top of it, don’t worry about a thing.
Kirby, what a idiot.
Pay no attention to Vice.
I don’t other than that documentary which is far better than anything I’ve seen thus far.
Any of the “major” networks had any of their reporters arrested on camera in Moscow covering Russian anti-Ukraine-war protests?
And close-mindedness is a characteristic of the left. Don’t emulate it.
Went right to a commercial
Isn’t amazing how much more peaceful it is in Ukraine than it was at all those BLM Antifa protests?
“Lots Of Fake News Out Of Ukraine Exposed & Fact Checked In Under 2 Minutes!”
https://rumble.com/vvxtff-lots-of-fake-news-exposed-and-fact-checked-in-under-2-minutes.html
“Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face” Mike Tyson
The Russians are punching the entire globalist machine in the face right now.
Anyone who believes differently is also on their fourth booster shot.
He is. And I hope he knocks them out.
I tend to agree however I’ll admit there’s no way to know the truth. Kinda funny to watch everyone buying into muh Russia and Putin is the spawn of Satan narrative. People watched War Games one too many times and are probably building fallout shelters in their backyards as we speak. Fact is, nobody really knows anything. You can’t say that the MSM is all propaganda and then believe what the MSM says about Putin.
From what I understand, the powers in Ukraine are friendly to the DS and there is some seriously shady stuff that goes on there which is about all I need to know.
“The sense of sympathy you are feeling ..”
that’s funny.
But those stories are so inspirationalllllll!!!
It would be interesting is someone has access to the “inspirational” narrative stories in the Russian media.
Everything has made more sense in my life since I truly realized media is just marketing. Simply marketing.
First, we have the Russian Narrative and then the Ukraine Narrative and somewhere in both their narrative is the Truth…
Thank you Sundance!!! It is painfully obvious. I haven’t seen desperate, wailing, breathless propaganda like this since RUSSIA! TRUMP! We have crossed into Orwell’s dystopian nightmare. We are here. The scale and outright falsity of the propaganda is stunning.
I learned this was a lie from a friend of my wife who is a former Ukranian citizen fromthe Donbas region with family still living in Ukraine.
My approach is the same as always. Avoid direct exposure to the corporate media, including the alleged “conservative ” networks. I then scan my newsreader app, which contains a minimum of feeds from mainstream media and beltway conservative sources. Then look for patterns in reporting and commentary. Compare these patterns to the personal knowledge gained from taking the measure of the political and corporate elites over 30+ years. The conclusion: the corporate media and the political establishment is managing the narrative.
I use an app called Feedly to aggregate RSS feeds. It works pretty well for being free, though they do inject ads every 5 stories or so.
Go to Theduran youtube
One man in UK the other a Greek in Cyprus from a diplomat family who spent years in US. Great knowledge of the events in Ukraine and more. This am almost 4 hours of discussion.
Perfect illustration of Gell-Mann amnesia.
We’ve watched the media lie incessantly for the past 5 years (closer to 50), and yet some people suddenly think their news of the war is somehow God’s honest truth.
The Chinese is a direct translation of the English Header ..” French Journalist claimed Ukrainians are Bombing their own citizens”……..
In Donbas
Meanwhile not a single new item about Trudeau, the protesters, our truckers, Durham, anything but Ukraine. It is as if MSNBC is trying to find that airliner all over again
Exactly.
That’s the other – and maybe the *biggest* CLUE- when MSM shuts down reporting on *any* other subject, you know there’s an agenda.
Amazing is it not Snellville Bob.
The journalists can turn on a dime as to what we must pay attention to.
They turn quickly as to what it the most important shiny thing that we must spend hours “educating” ourselves about.
Now we must learn all about the Ukraine and new podcasts and writers and so so many are out there to help us learn all about this new geopolitical upset in the the world that we must focus on.
Instead of living our lives, and creating and doing and being ourselves we must now learn all we can about The Ukraine.
Some how if we do this, because the msm tells us it is important, we will be informed as to what is important and will be prepared if something happens that we really really need to know about. as soon as it happens.
Right…….
I get the point of this article, but everything using the old photos are twitter posts from people I’ve never heard of (only Kinzinger).
I saw the all on The Daily Mail UK
Yesterday I was reading comments on Daily Mail Ukraine articles……some people were posting absolutely true facts and were attacked as Russian bots and Trumptards etc.
The truthful commenters also called out the fake photos. Too many people do not want to know anything true
Crap. Just when I think I’ve found a hero (Zelenskyy) I have to not-trust & verify that too.
I hate this period in history.
How is he a hero?

I’ll shoot myself in the foot by dumping this stuff I’ve already paid for.
That’ll Really. Hurt. Russia.
I think they have greater worries than Putin. Did they forget their frozen bank accounts so quickly? And dictator Truedope?
Why yes…….yes they did forget about Dictator Justin Castro Trudeau
I could have used that in my truck. I have a flex-fuel system.
Now if the Scots would only invade some place, we’d be in business!!
Dumping it outright… lol. Right. Like they didn’t empty the bottles in the back room and then dump bottles filled with water.
Party!
They will regret that when the cost of vodka gets hammered by Biden’s inflation next week.
If anyone is interested in tapping-out, but still staying informed, I really recommend this video. It is from 2015, but Prof. John Mearshimer – University of Chicago, predicted everything that we are seeing today:
Why is Ukraine the West’s Fault? Featuring John Mearsheimer
I saw that when it had only a few hundred thousand views and it has gone to almost 10 million views in a matter of weeks. Steve Bannon is sending a lot of traffic to it. BTW
———–
I also recommend this video for background and deep perspective:
Vladimir Pozner: How the United States Created Vladimir Putin
Fun Fact: Putin asked to join NATO in 2000*… !!!
For old hands here, Vladimir Pozner used to have a show with Phil Donahue during the Cold War and often appeared on Ted Koppel’s Night Line… well worth the 1.5 hours. IMHO
This is a lecture he did at Yale University:
———-
Both of the above videos don’t go into why NATO was expanded, but this video does, from Aaron Maté:
From Ukraine to Yemen, US Arms Industry Reaps the Spoils of War
Basically, the US foreign policy establishment said “no” to NATO expansion, in particular George Kennan and current CIA director William Burns. However, because the Cold War ended, the US arms industry was facing a crisis, so they strongly lobbied Congress to allow Eastern European countries to join NATO… remember each member of NATO is supposed to spend 2 % on national defense… and that “broke the dam” and lit the fuse for various other reasons to join.
Current CIA director William Burn’s position:
Why Biden didn’t negotiate seriously with Putin
Consider the current CIA director, William Burns. Back in 2008, the year George W. Bush fatefully badgered reluctant European leaders into pledging future NATO membership to Ukraine, Burns sent a memo to then-Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice that included this warning:
Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all red lines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin’s sharpest liberal critics, I have yet to find anyone who views Ukraine in NATO as anything other than a direct challenge to Russian interests.
Burns added that it was “hard to overstate the strategic consequences” of offering Ukraine NATO membership—a move that, he predicted, would “create fertile soil for Russian meddling in Crimea and eastern Ukraine.”
So Burns predicted 12 years ago that pretty much the entire Russian national security establishment would be inclined to make trouble in Ukraine if we offered NATO membership to Ukraine…
https://nonzero.substack.com/p/why-biden-didnt-negotiate-seriously?utm_source=url&fbclid=IwAR0h0nsuLI6iTsoxGdIlsZzJLTGCEvEbHurbJl8w7Wkd3_ONkBot275rsbw
*Putin was turned down for NATO membership in 2000, because Russia had an arms industry, so they were not a potential customer. And in addition, if Russia gained membership, its arms manufacturers would compete with US arms manufacturers. And we see a manifestation of that today, with Turkey buying the Russian made S400 ADS and the US F35A… Turkey, is actually under sanctions (under CAATSA) as a US “adversary”, until they drop the S400 ADS, despite being a member of NATO.
I hope all of that is of some use.
For what it is worth…
Here’s another good one, a film produced by Oliver Stone about the Euromaidan color revolution and violent coup in 2014 in Ukraine. The film covers the role the US State Department had in it and what the aftermath has been:
People can also see a series of reports by French investigative journalist Olivier Berruyer about the Ukrainegate scandal and Biden’s involvement in it. He touches on a lot of issues that have played a causal roles that have brought about the conflict currently taking place in Ukraine. They’re available here: https://ukrainegate.info/
Yeah, all media is basically billion- and trillionaires pushing at us for compliance, obedience, or support. People who consume media fall into categories, those who want to be told what to think in order to be accepted and approved, and people who want to make decisions based on information (the identity of media messages being part of the information). With several systems of censorship in place, media is consciously reducing itself to the first type of audience, making media worthless for the second type of audience.
I have a buddy from India who said corruption is so bad nothing gets done until people are paid off.
Too bad there isn’t a whistleblower in the IC community. They are all CCP spies and agents.
I am sure Putin has read this and is prepared
Daleep Singh: Testimony before the HFSC Subcommittee on National Security May 2019:
First, U.S. investors should be prohibited from purchasing new Russian sovereign debt. In 2014, I was cautious about taking this action due to the unpredictable spillover effects of disrupting the risk-free, benchmark asset of a sovereign nation. Circumstances have changed. Russia is far better able to absorb a hit to its sovereign debt market, considering the background conditions described earlier, and investors have had almost five years to reduce exposures in Russia. More to the point, I can think of no credible argument why U.S. public pension funds and household 401Ks should fund the Russian government after its “sweeping and systemic” attempts to undermine American democracy.9
Second, while I am not in favor of prohibitions on secondary market trading10 of Russian assets as a general matter, there is merit in constructive ambiguity. Requirements on U.S. persons to disclose any existing holdings of Promsyvazbank (Russia’s designated bank to service the defense sector), and possibly VEB, would generate a broader chilling effect, especially if it includes a grace period. By itself, this measure would not prohibit any trading activities, but markets are conditioned to read the signals that broader restrictions could follow. Note: these financial institutions are essentially appendages of the Russian government, oriented around domestic lending and with relatively limited international linkages.

… So the Globalist Cabal can sucker U.S. investors into shifting their funds to ChYna.
Zelenskyy could have handed President Trump every bit of American bi-partisan corruption on a silver platter and rid his Country of meddling grifters. He brought every bit of this on himself and the Ukraine.
I think Don Surber wrote something to that effect a few days ago. A Treeper posted a link to it. I thought it was a pretty good piece.
Interesting comment CR.
The Ukraine was a naughty playground for so many American politicians for many years, both D and R.
Now it is the victim with a capital V and Russia is mean and and nasty.
Probably true and Zelenskyy is left holding a very expensive bag full of dirty American secrets.
Why isn’t anyone asking Biden if he will immediately demand Hunter and Uncle Jim to return the money they were paid by Burisma to the people of Ukraine as reparations for their role in the debacle.
Ha ha.

Analysis by Gregory Copley with John Batchelor on two segments of Thursday program. Here’s one segment. Worth adding to our consideration. Calls out the ‘gift’ “POTUS” gave Putin, for one thing. https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-john-batchelor-show/id589864479?i=1000552176464
I think anyone older than the age of 20 knows that any info coming out around wars- *especially* those that the U.S. is thinking of getting involved in- is Mega. Suspect.
For this one in particular, one thing is pretty clear >>>> the Biden Admin. is using it as a pretext for all the chaos he himself has initiated in his 1st year in office: Food Inflation, Shortages, Gas prices, etc etc the list goes on and on.
So yeah, DEFINITELY suspect.
In fact, I’ve barely paid attention to this. Would not surprise me at all if it’s just one giant joke.
Bingo. We’ve seen this movie before = Vietnam.
The Ellsberg Papers exposed the truth.
55,000 dead boys. A confrontation with Russia would be far worse.
And our 20 year war in the middle east to help bring “Democracy” to the Muslim’s.
So true sunnydaze and Ugly Cuss.
Sounds like Chicago.

Corruption—D.C. Political Class of Grifters & Grafters & Insider Traders.
Yes, indeed, that is if you mean Chicago = Mafia
There are many “experts” spewing lies about Russia/Ukraine situation. I’ll stick to listening to Pat Buchanan and Peter Pry and Sundance and that is about all the people I’ll listen to regarding this whole mess.
Tucker was spitting some pretty epic truth recently: ‘No One Believes You Anymore, Joe Biden — No One Should Believe You’
Meanwhile Biden is in his Delaware Basement practicing his whisper demands for Tuesday night.
We’re going to get the FDR fire side chat. We have nothing to fear..
“We have nothing to fear….” FDR might have comforted the nation with that remark. Biden in attempting to copy FDR would have quite the opposite effect.
“…is it live or is it Memorex (take # 28)”. With much cut and pasting.
Got to get it right for the CCP. Is this a great country or what?
Remember, first and foremost, they have kept people locked up, masked up, forced jabs, forced ridiculous testing, forced business closures, forced layoffs, forced firings, all for a FAKE Plandemic.
A WORLD TAKEOVER OF EPIC PROPORTIONS.
Because they can.
As our collective philosophical guru and life coach noted, “There are trillions at stake.” Too true…
Yup. And now the US has presumably (emphasis on presumably, per news reports) sent another 350 mil to the Ukraine to help them fend off the Russians, bringing the total we’ve sent them recently to a billion bucks.
Once it gets back in the US political elitist off-shore accounts it will be in the Spin Cycle.
Approaching 5% of what we’ve pissed away to undocumented voters in the past year.
We’re in the middle of watching ‘Inventing Anna’. The plot is all about how the protagonist, Anna, told compelling enough lies so her bullshit can get legs.
I tell my friends to look up for incoming missiles when they leave home and then just carry on as usual.
Is there a source for the info that the Snake Island sailors surrendered?
According to Ukrinform, the Ukrainian State Border Guard Service reported this on Facebook.
“The SBGS, the Ukrainian Armed Forces, as well as the whole of Ukraine, received hope that all defenders of Snake [Island] are alive. Russian media reported that Ukrainian servicemen who stayed on the island had been taken to Sevastopol, temporarily occupied by Russia. Preliminary information that border guards may be killed came before contact with the defenders was lost,” the statement reads.
I’m sure we can trust Russian Media.
Am I right?
I’m still baffled by Zelensky’s insistence, up until the very start, that there would be no Russian invasion:
https://nypost.com/2022/01/28/zelensky-rebukes-western-panic-over-russia-invasion-fear-after-biden-call/
What happened? How could he get it SO WRONG, even when all the obvious clues were right there?
He triggered the IC when he said someone is lying.
That’s certainly possible.
Are you saying that the boy on his bicycle bringing sausages to his sickly grandparents is also a lie? D@mn you SD! BTW, you know who I think *REALLY* benefits from this war propaganda? Klaus “WEF’er” Schwab who f’ed up the Canada op in a big way. Seems that’s all been wiped away like shaking an Etch-a-Sketch.
Perfectly said. Same attitude in our home too.
Pure Evil is and always has been stalking the earth. Maybe now, more, like Dr. Wolf, will start to see that GOD is the only Help we have. Man is just too small.
Thank you for sharing that! We can crowd source this issue and find the truth. We sure aren’t going to get it from the globalist state run propaganda ministry. I just know anything they say, the truth is the opposite.
Interesting comment Marmocet.
Many people who read about other countries who seem to be moving toward democracy and freedom from the shackles of communism and are reading what is written by journalists with stars in their eyes.
It sounds as if these former communist countries are now free and clean from the thoughts of the communists who took them down the garden path to “paradise” only to have their countries turn into crap.
And even though they are trying to move from their former way of thinking and doing business, old way die hard.
The US is a very unique country in the way that we think and act.
It is very hard for Americans to understand the thinking of growing up in a country where the government gives you your rights and you live very much under it’s thumb.
Here in the US our constitution ( which is frayed but still standing) allows the government to only have powers that WE THE PEOPLE give it.
I know this has been whittled down and the feds have taken powers they do not legally have but my point is more in how people grow up.
How they are raised and the way they think after hundreds or thousands of years of being subjects of monarchies or subjects of a government that has the ability to tell them what to do.
Americans just think differently, it is something that is hard to squash in us.
That independence of thinking, feeling and living physically.
“Someone is lying.”
There is a lot of that going around these days.
Nothing new under the Sun.
