Following the ‘democracy must be destroyed in order to preserve it model‘, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has dissolved all political opposition parties and consolidated all media.
There’s a word to describe when a single national leader takes control over all media platforms and dissolves the political parties of his opposition. However, apparently, we are not allowed to notice that because Russia “invaded a sovereign democracy” or something.
LVIV, Ukraine, March 20 (Reuters) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has signed a decree that combines all national TV channels into one platform, citing the importance of a “unified information policy” under martial law, his office said in a statement on Sunday.
Ukrainian privately owned media channels have hitherto continued to operate since the start of the Russian invasion of Ukraine on Feb. 24. The decree announcement, made on the presidential website, did not specify how quickly the new measure would come into force. (link)
So the new rule for installed leaders is, provoke war to consolidate power?
Do these people honestly think that this hasn’t tried and failed in the historical record?
Looks like the US Navy is inadvertently enforcing a NO FLY zone over Ukraine by patrolling the western flank.
The Russians are flying limited sorties over the rest of the country essentially unimpeded.
Hypersonic missiles may make aircraft carriers obsolete. If the US is unsuccessful in building one, then they are likely unsuccessful in proving defense against one.
Just how many Hppersonic missiles do you think Putin has? And are you sure we don’t have any?
We were the first to develop the technology, which seemed to stop during obama’s first terrorist campaign.
Obama sold our hypersonic technology to China Russia and S Korea.
Bring our Navy home!
Knowing sailors on the Truman I can tell you this ship was deployed long before Ukraine was in the mouth of most.
It was deployed for war games, correct?
But can’t a deployment be altered?
Of course it can
Is Zelensky trying to suppress any media reports, or political opposition, questioning hid narrative?
Certainly seems a reasonable explantaion.
Also, the “use a crises, to consolidate power, and keep the power, when the crises ends” methodology that we have seen so much, recently.
I wonder how the people of Ukraine feel, about having Zelensky declare himself dictator, and how they will feel about it, going forward?
They may have been catching on to what has been happening.
His way of tamping down a resistance.
The Ukrainian people are not strangers to rebellions and revolutions.
They seem to have one every 5-10 years.
For those regarding both sides:
Rt.com is down in Europe.
Rtde.site is still up, and can be translated by most browsers.
The rt app (apk) is still downloadable for English news. https://m.apkpure.com/rt-news/com.rt.mobile.english
There is an interesting op-ed about Donbass, amongst others.
UK has banned RT News as Boris doesn’t like free speech and an alternate opinion…..just like in the CONvid1984 hoax.
Let me get this straight. Con. Gress is sending “aid for democracy???” To a dictator?
But “he is our dictator.”
(And, of course, he will give us a refund of some percent. This is just another Santa Claus from a foreign country.)
Shades of our great and wonderful banana republic days.
Only the “vaxed” members of Congress were allowed at the televised presentation, where Nancy almost wet her pants on realizing guy next to her wasn’t standing.
Guess they voted for this while our own Southern border is invaded 24/7 & the freebies flow freely!
They fund NPR too so just SOP.
Er….YES
Yep
Not a fascist at all
That’s all PDJT had to do?
When he was dictator/Hitler?
And we would be living the high life right now?
Oh that’s right.
He didn’t, he wasnt, and we aren’t.
I miss that guy, badly.
“Bigly”.
Don’t we all . . .
I said from the start that I smelled a RAT in Zelensky. The more of the videos that were made of him, I knew he was exactly what I thought. Just as Mao-Xiden IS a puppet he’s a puppet for the SoreA*S NWO Cabal. Bet on it. This prick and the DemonRAT/ RINO’S/ Military-Industrial Complex ARE going to lead this country into another Iraq, Afghanistan, Viet Nam WAR or POSSIBLY worse.
It was obvious the fish was more than a day old when the cheering section made their scent also known.
Russia is no Iraq they are not playing while we call names and try shaming
If only Donald Trump had done this (and lived up to his allotted reputation). Unfortunately, he just don’t have the dictator leanings.
The deep state is running the country, NOT the president.
They gave Trump hell for 4 years because he would not adhere to their demands of America last.
“he just don’t”?

@kylenabecker
Zelensky today announced he was banning 11 political parties and opposition groups.
Who was missing? The neo-Nazi party “Svoboda” and the open neo-Nazi militia group

Well, they’ve been active for so long there, no doubt he’s grown fond of them.
People still not doing own research, but clinging to likes of CNN, MSNBC , appear to like having wool pulled over their eyes.
Don’t forget Newsmax.
Fox is no better
“There’s a word to describe when a single [power center] takes control over all media platforms and dissolves the political parties of his opposition.”
Yes, the Uniparty. All nations are converging on the CCP model. I don’t think SD was intending irony here. But I’ll pretend he did and give him credit for it. Maybe I’m the only one who goes to the mat unconditionally on the Uniparty construct.
We speak in ill-considered shorthand about ‘China doing this or that’ when it is the CCP stretched atop every Chinese insitution and cultural gesture that directs everything. Penny for the Chinese people’s thoughts. We may never hear them again.
The Rinos are the devolutionary detritus of a prior party that could, once upon a time, be said to have had a discrete core of beliefs.
Now Republicanism is an appendix soon to become a memory. The Uniparty is nearing a point where the duopolistic charade can be discarded altogether. No, I doubt there will be a formal announcement. The midterm elections will most likely be hobbled (or suspended outright) by a fresh lockdown. The DNC will retain power. Or maybe there’s one more Quigley swap-out left in the cards. Hillary was to be the last. The Trump insurgency knocked off the timeline, or certainly appeared to.
The least that can be said for MAGA is that it was a valuable four-year exercise in surfacing every anti-globalist from shore to shore. Trumpism may have been the best bird dog the globalists ever bought.
Sorry, but Project Warpspeed really put a divot in my Trump affinities.
Well, you could look at our situation from the perspective that you have chosen. Or, you could look at it a little differently – think back to 2015 and how things were pre Trump. We only suspected the corporate media colluded with democrats and the globalists and they got away with their gaslighting news coverage with impunity. Now, thanks to PDJT, we actually know they are a slew of propagandists, the US government is as corrupted as it possibly can be, possibly irredeemably so. Those brief four years of PDJT succeeded in surfacing every globalist embed from shore to shore. Trumpism WAS the best bird dog patriots have ever had in identifying all of the traitors in our midsts.
I think the jury is still out on Trumpism. It may be that patriots were given great hope and then that hope was smashed against the rocks. This loss of hope and feeling of dispair may have been the start of something good or the end of the American dream. Has the fat lady sang? I am not sure.
I just can’t imagine why Putin called these guys neonazis.
I liked Lara’s description of Zelensky …. “a celebrity in stilettos and leather pants” is now the saviour (according to leftists)
He’s emulating a “war time version” of the Canadian model.
You rock, Young Leader! /s
Gosh, sounds just like Canada & the USA !
This is an important development. It appears that Globalist, Inc. wasn’t waiting for permission to bring Ukraine into NATO but was simply doing it through the bureaucracies anyway, perhaps without full knowledge of the member states who ostensibly each have a veto over new member admissions.
It sounds like a similar game plan to the growth of power of the EU at the expense of its sovereign constituents. The People say no? No problem. Ask the legislatures. Legislatures say no? No problem. Ask them again, but this time with carrots and sticks . Some still say no? Just do it anyway through the bureaucracies. Those who control the administrative state are simply not used to taking no for an answer.

You mob should be doing the same thing !
Where exactly is UN/NATO headquarters ? Hmmmm I forgot.
UN hq: New York, NATO hq: Brussels.
NATO HQ was moved to Norfolk, VA last year, very surreptitiously.
Great. that means I’m going to get nuked if The SHTF.
NATO’s center for political and military decisionmaking aka NATO headquarters remain in Brussels, but maybe the Americans call their local NATO office headquarters idk.
Ukraine is a Nato-partner, so as Belarus by the way. That’s no surprise to anyone in Europe. They have plenty of American weapons, no surprise either, and they know how Nato works and can fight under Nato auspices if convenient, but they are on their own in a situation. Full members have pledged to help other members, if these are invaded or attacked, thus threatening immediate escalation. That is really the only small, but very important, difference between partner and member.
As of now – or two months ago or two years ago or IN two years – Ukraine is impossible as a full member. There is NO chance they will be let in, and they know. Even their Führer in a t-shirt knows. That means it would be quite cheap for Ukraine to promise to refrain from seeking to become a member.
Zelensky doesn’t seem to be joking here does he ?
“we are not allowed to notice that because Russia ‘invaded a sovereign democracy’ or something.”
No, NOT “or something.” Russia invaded a sovereign European nation. Period. It doesn’t matter whether it’s a democracy, a monarchy, or an autocratic dictatorship. You can’t invade another country because you don’t like what they are doing internally. And it makes no difference how many other illegal and unprovoked invasions have taken place before this one.
Trudeau, on his own personal authority, de-banks anyone in Canada who ever expressed any support for the truckers on any blog or social media site, so Biden can send in a column of tanks to surround Ottawa? Mexico is a narcostate with running gun battles on our southern border, so Biden can send in tanks and artillery to surround and shell Nuevo Loredo and Mexico City? I hope no one here is answering “yes” to these.
But “Nazis” or something. Nazis have been attacking ethnic Russians in the eastern provinces for years. And exactly how did those ethnic Russians get there? Stalin (Russia) killed the Ukrainians there (Holodomor) and after the Ukrainians were starved or driven out he repopulated the provinces with ethnic Russians. Some Ukrainians remember and are attempting to retake those provinces militarily for Ukrainians. I hope no one here approves of that either. In the back of the room, a Palestinian whose parents raised him in a refugee camp in Lebanon slowly raises his hand.
In the 21st Century, invasion of a sovereign country by another can not be permitted. We should also have learned our lesson about interjecting ourselves militarily into other countries’ internal ethnic conflicts. Dropping bombs on Serbian Christians during Holy Week and on Easter was not our finest hour.
There are no good guys in this. That includes Vlad the Invader. May we PLEASE just stay the hell out of Ukraine?
Way to fail/ignore history and contradict yourself at the same time.
*** “You can’t invade another country because you don’t like what they are doing internally.” ***
.
The US does it constantly. We shouldn’t be surprised that others do too, especially if it’s a squalidly corrupt Ukraine lining up to park nukes and threaten them.
I expect China to begin to move on Taiwan now. They already are.
I also think the US should stay out of it; not our business (well, it is some people in government’s business sadly).
However, there is a part of my brain that keeps going there – Putin might be doing the world a favor whether
accidentally or on purpose. I also think Russia should just win and get it over with. No drawn out nonsense.
There is evidence that Russia is targeting bioweapons plants that didn’t exist for years. 🙄
Denials of their existence were repeated by the US and allies until Russia invaded the Ukraine and delivered the evidence to the UN.
Nothing to see here, move along.
But that really isn’t the way Russia fights, historically speaking. We blitz; they grind it out. Plus, there’s really no up side for Russia if they cause massive destruction.
Stalin made a habit of slaughtering or deporting to Siberia social groups–like the Kulaks (farmers, if you will) in Ukraine and parts of Russia. He also liked supplanting native populations with ethnic Russians (the Baltic States are another great example). So, yes, this is a good point.
Our involvement in the Balkan mess was, I thought from the beginning, a mistake. Once Tito was gone, there was no chance that the “Balkan powder keg” wouldn’t explode again, and if the U.S. once got involved, we’d have to sit there forever. Guess where we still are sitting.
There aren’t any good guys in this war, and once again we’re dragged into something that is, at most, a European issue.
President Trump was quite right about NATO. It should have quietly gone away a few years after the dissolution of the USSR.
All anyone really needed to know was that he was a WEF Control Agent – from there it’s easy to guess that the nazi measures were in his bag of tricks, just waiting for the right time to be deployed. He and She of Canada must be proud of their fellow WEF alum.
Its as easy as WW3, 1 2 3
What’s truly embarrassing, but telling, is watching the weakness of the Republican Party attempt to navigate peace by agreeing with Biden. All Biden did is weaken the dollar and draw BRINC states closer together.
Obama started this war with advancement of NATO and EU pressure (for Ukraine to join). Idiots. This was all a setup to protect laptop from hell and all its contents from being exposed.
Biden thinks he can bully a coverup for his corruption everytime, look for a false flag when no one listens to his pathetic demands.
This should all be over by April 15th or sooner, but spidey senses tell me we are about to cross the border, while blaming Putin for making us do it.
The US position and actions are about the ‘22 and ‘24 US elections. Soundbites. Talking points. Voting blocs. They don’t much care what happens to Ukraine or Russia. They mostly want Congress, the Presidency, and the Supreme Court.
BTW Do you think for one moment that if Ketanji-Brown gets on the Court that she will play nice and keep quiet about events and cases and policies? She will be a one woman Squad radicalizing the Supreme Court.
Looks a bit like Nazi eh.
It’s only until the crisis is over.
Thus, OUR tax dollars, those of us who work 7 days a wk will end up in a private bank acct, offshore to Herr Zelensky & his sidekicks…..
WOW, ain’t war great?
Ain’t OUR politicians (CONGRESS) and POTUS/WH just peachy keen how this has worked out…./??
MORE $$ for Congress to reclaim back (as they have for 20Y) and the “BIG GUY”, Hunter to reclaim back.
I NEVER liked Zelensky day 1…but let’s convene Congress, give him aid, give him free speech and an audience and read a poem, hold hands, sing…and PROCLAIM Putin IS BAD.
PS
ALL BY DESIGN
We are 99% there ourselves. For the most part, here in the US, the state controls the media. Also, our faux two party system walks lock step with each other, only throwing out “opposition noise” to make us think we have a two party
system. Checks and balances are a joke.
Small, dark, and weasel-like. Must be a Klaus Schwab pup.
Most of Ukrainian TV Stations are owned by Russian oligarchs close to Putin. You do know a small nation has been invaded by their large belligerent neighbor, don’t you?
This is untrue. Yanukovytch gave control of the media to “loyal Ukrainian oligarchs.”
This action is not going to end well for Ukraine.
Their political parties are brutal and not one is going to take this sitting down.
Which Ukrainian Gang, I mean Party, has the weapons?
The USA just supplied weapons for the bloodiest internal Unkrainian Gang War ever!
Guess the Big Guy and his Mini Me are getting at least 10% + a bonus from the winning faction.
Ukraine has never been one big happy country- despite the MSM claims.
The USA has been DUPED

( hint, it’s not the miss leaders that the media fauns over…)
It is the Rotschild Bolshevik cabal. BRIC is fighting them to get rid of their world banking control. PDJT started it and BRIC is going to end it. This goes a lot deeper than any political power struggle. Every on cries the Putin is after Jews because Zel is a Jew. He is a lying Jew. Revelation 3:9 “Indeed. I will make those of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not, but lie—indeed I will make them come and worship before your feet, and to know that I have loved you.”
Trump has Hijacked Rothshilds Central Bank in the USA | The Liberty Beacon
Putin’s Russia has been like this for YEARS with respect to centralized control of all media.
My gut instinct is that this man will be taken out shortly.
This is the NWO Great Reset Agenda here — Zelensky is a Drag Queen creep and no hero — he is owned by a Jewish Oligarch murderer who pays the the “Nazi” Brigade murderers — Soros is in there too — the Mainslime Media pimps him because they are Globalist scum who want the same here….
Oh, but Putin is the evil one…LOL
To be fair, they are being invaded. Lincoln didn’t exactly remain faithful to the Constitution during the Civil War.
Because….democracy
We are not a Democracy we are a Constitutional Federal Republic with Democratic representation. The Democrat political party likes to use the word to make us all believe that is what we are, but as always, they lie. The News media throws it around to fool our own citizens. A true Democratic government goes only by majority rule, which we do not have but the Dems. want us to think that is why they like to push big numbers in their favor.
That just proves that ‘democracy’ is working. Same gaslight as the vaccine injuries.
Same CIA/US State Dept playbook – and they are trying it in the US as well. The globalists are determined to take over and rule the world. By any means necessary.
I’m sure Klaus Schwab is the director of the Ukrainian theater.
Which is why there’s no “good” guy in this fight.
I keep closest eye on people who use Democracy and for the people, they lie.They try to shame you to believe, that is getting weak. The cracks are opening, our government is backing Nazi uprising can not wait to when it all becomes true.
“Democracy” is stupid anyone, it leads to mob rule. I’ve never been a fan of the overuse of “democracy” to describe any form of government where people get to “vote”: it’s not that simple.
50% + 1 isn’t a sustainable political model unless you are OK with those in power buying votes with the public treasury (and don’t think the elites don’t know this)
1000^^^^^
The historical irony and juxtaposition here is striking!
It’s beyond FUBAR!!
Klaus Schwab put an extra shot of brandy in his morning coffee today when he read this.
ks loves it when his plans comes together.
A week or so ago we were hearing that the Ukrainian government was arming its citizens. Now that same government is declaring martial law. These 2 things don’t mix.
Obama did the same thing here without actually coming out and saying it. No that’s wrong the media didn’t have to be told.
Ukraine is NOT a sovereign nation. It is controlled by Soros and the Deep State Cabal. Russia is fighting to liberate the Ukrainian people from these evil Nazis. Please keep praying! God wins!
Russian MOD statement: “On the night of March 21st, high-precision air-launched cruise missiles attacked the Training Center for Foreign Mercenaries and Ukrainian Nationalist Formations at the combined arms training ground Novaya Lubomirka in the Rivne region. More than 80 mercenaries and nationalists were killed.”
Dirt clod Zelensky is on a very short time line
Though ABC/CBS/NBC/CNN/FOX et al all have different call signs they are all owned by BlackRock, State Street and Vanguard and who owns those three investment management houses. All roads lead back to Geneva/Davos.
Same goes for political parties, Republican/Democrat = Uniparty. All criminal (WEF) swamp rats are moving in the same direction, one just a little faster than the other.
Zelinsky is a bought and paid for stooge who does what he’s told, he’s just formalizing reality, but again a distinction without a difference.
Huge explosion at a mall on the outskirts of Kiev last evening….
Quite an explosion, witnesses said whatever hit the mall came straight down out of the sky at blinding speed. Must have been another of those fake hypersonic missiles fired against a nonexistent weapons cash disguised as a “mall”…. just another conspiracy theory lolz
I’m old enough to remember when we had a fake Covid and fake klimate krisis. Now that Ukraine is on, their money stealing schemes are dwarfed by military “Aid” now going to a Dicktator that wears stilettos and leather pants. Only to be funnelled to NGO’s (NGO is an acronym for Money Laundering to Congressional scumbags like Lyndy Graham and Liz/Dick Cheney, And Biden’s crime family, Rspct. FJB
OK so folks are upset that a Leader of a nation under attack is consolidating control just like every other nation democratic based government or not, before today….get over it. The real story in this article is not the action of President Zelenskyy in his struggle to control the Ukraine. Yes , he is a bad guy and puppet of the G7, that is a given.
The real story and reason for the curious cat is in the background provided.
President Zelenskyy is able to use a SOCIAL MEDIA account. That means the Russians have NOT shut it down as any real invader would do to cut communications, except if the enemy leader wants to negotiate or surrender. Go back to Sundance’s article yesterday, WHERE ARE the SOCIAL MEDIA stories from people on the street living the war in real time? Also, his assertion begs the question, are the people in the streets being censored at the behest of the Ukraine and G7? If we have learned anything about US Big Tech Media, THEY are MERCENARY in their business model.
Along the same lines, ALL PRIVATELY NATIONAL TV Channels are still in operation. See commentary above. Privately owned Ukraine TV outlets do seem to be the sources of US MSM news. Doesn’t that seem odd to say the least??
These two facts rate curious cat and indicate something really rotten is being spawned by the US and their G7 friends to preserve their economical position v/v BRICS and OPEC. Something stinks in this whole tragic affair.
Excellent points. *iden to arrive in Poland with millions of US Taxpaer Dollars to support refugees flooding their border. Not our southern border, but another country’s border. Not sure when Americans will notice the play being shown to the world, but not to give the outcome away, Friday should be the day of reckoning.
We are forced thru foreign aid packages to spend billions upon billions to protect borders in other countries while ours is completely open.
Of course, some part of those Billions filters back to our “leaders” through foundations, honorariums, family affiliates, and no doubt ways we haven’t even thought of.
Art sales are quite remunrative…
Book sales too. How else did the unknown Kenyan get rich enough to purchase 3, 4? homes./s
Pallets of cash recycled?
Book and art sales…with a side of goodwill and influence.
I’m surprised Chelsea Clinton or one of the Obama girls haven’t put on an art show yet. Their parents must be very disappointed in them not taking advantage of their artistic talents.
Thr “big guy” gets his 10%, of course.
With inflation it’s likely been upped to 20%….50% if the Bag Man Hunter gets Indicted.
The reason for the open southern border is very simple. The socialist democrats hope there will be a time they can give all the illegals amnesty. ( which they have tried to hide in every bill they have introduced for years but was rejected by the house parliamentarian and removed from said bill:) With amnesty comes the right to vote. That will ensure the socialist democrats will remain in power ad infinitem. That will be the end of democracy in the US. One party rule is tyranny and unless there is a 1776 2.0 that’s where this is heading
….. the definitively-traitorous, fascist-Marxist, “democrats,” all intend there will come a time when every member of there criminal-alien-invader “army” will be rewarded for his service by being extended amnesty ….
Nope. The fascist Marxists care no damned not a typo more for their criminal-alien co-0pted than they care for you and/or for those you love. The fascist Marxist “interest” in criminal aliens, as a class, ends the moment it enrolls them to vote. And: make no mistake; several score million criminal aliens are enrolled to vote and, al though most of them do not bother, you may take it to the bank that they are “voted” by “democratic” party activists and that their purported votes massively influence America’s every “election.”
Exactly.
The invasion of refugees into Poland is also a way to get muslims into one of the few European countries that haven’t been overrun with them.
Oh wow- excellent point
30% of refugees are not Ukrainian. Don’t worry about their border, DO SOMETHING ABOUT OURS.
Forgot to add the comment that MSm reporters “on the ground” are transmitting via Social Media and satellite radio. Another odd fact.
You mean cell phones?
Satellite radio is one way, satellite telephony can not be easily jammed bar by downing the satellites.
The Ukrainian Space Force might just do that if pushed…
Satellite phones…..
Maybe Zelensky is really sitting in his 32 million miami beach mansion with a green screen production crew. The WH pressers are from a fake studio. Almost everything in MSM is a fake Hollywood propaganda production.
He’s in Poland. There are recent pictures of him standing next to outlets not used in Ukraine but in Poland.
This “war” is going to paint Biden as the war President..watch the ratings for Biden go through the roof. We have all been sitting around laughing at what an idiot he is, and this will go down in history AGAIN as the biggest gaslight in history…while all the patriots stand around and scratch their heads ( or B@lls) and say what happened? We saw it in the last election and people were warning about it for months before the V…and everyone said no way! impossible…then, WHAT???? it’s happening again..mid terms could turn on a dime over this..and if it does, the 2024 election will be all but over immediately! Biden will be the darling old President who’s health really took a toll during the hard fought war, and the Democrats will be able to replace him with anyone they choose, even goofy, and the Democrats spin Dr’s along with MSM will convince the masses that it’s for the good of the nation..and the whole world. Zelynski better not get too comfortable in his fame, he is only there momentarily…USA will NEVER stand to let someone else accept credit for their work..even if it’s goofy taking a bow. Unless of course it fails..then he Zelynski can take all the credit. This is so dangerous right now..and all the rinos and pretend Republicans are standing in solidarity to give the illusion that it’s the right thing to do. None of them ever having to worry a day about their paycheck or the situation in the real world, in fact gaining wealth by the day. The little people are who pay the price..particularly the citizens of Ukraine. What a sad pitiful world we live in right now.
Every war is a tragedy for the general citizenry, and nothing more than playing a political hand for the perpetrators. Al,ost all of human history has been a tragedy. So, I pretty much agree with your sentiments.
Even though it’s a crazy world we’re living in, can’t see biden’s ratings going through the roof (not that any “poll results” we see are ever legitimate anyway.)
They also have power and heat.
The cat who ate the canary is a Zelensky who wants far more power and elimination of the domestic opposition
Elon Musk set Ukraine up with Starlight, his own internet network. Russia can’t shut it down.

All media has been rendered suspect. So there’s that, I guess.
There is a boots-on-the-ground journalist named George Elliason who “has been working out of the Donbass region of East Ukraine for seven years. He has written extensively about the war in the east. His writings are colored by the viewpoint of the separatists in Donetsk and Luhansk. That doesn’t make it wrong; it makes it different from what you are used to hearing…”
This is an article at CD Media based on Elliason’s reference material (excellent read for Treepers):
