From the CTH perspective, if we accept the scale of the approaching U.S. economic pain that is clearly visible on the horizon, this narrative shift from the Associated Press and NPR, about a balancing act for U.S. policy and a corrupt Ukraine government, seems very predictable.
The average U.S. worker, and the middle class in general, is in trouble. The visible reference of bailing out the people of Ukraine to the tune of $60+ billion is legislative salt in an open economic wound caused by Biden policy. A shift is needed.
Pivoting away from Ukraine to focus on financial subsidies for Americans requires using a particular arm-distancing toward Zelenskyy from the politicians. Look, corruption.
Here we go:
WASHINGTON (AP) — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s dismissal of senior officials is casting an inconvenient light on an issue that the Biden administration has largely ignored since the outbreak of war with Russia: Ukraine’s history of rampant corruption and shaky governance.
As it presses ahead with providing tens of billions of dollars in military, economic and direct financial support aid to Ukraine and encourages its allies to do the same, the Biden administration is now once again grappling with longstanding worries about Ukraine’s suitability as a recipient of massive infusions of American aid.
Those issues, which date back decades and were not an insignificant part of former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment, had been largely pushed to the back burner in the immediate run-up to Russia’s invasion and during the first months of the conflict as the U.S. and its partners rallied to Ukraine’s defense.
But Zelenskyy’s weekend firings of his top prosecutor, intelligence chief and other senior officials have resurfaced those concerns and may have inadvertently given fresh attention to allegations of high-level corruption in Kyiv made by one outspoken U.S. lawmaker.
It’s a delicate issue for the Biden administration. With billions in aid flowing to Ukraine, the White House continues to make the case for supporting Zelenskyy’s government to an American public increasingly focused on domestic issues like high gas prices and inflation. High-profile supporters of Ukraine in both parties also want to avoid a backlash that could make it more difficult to pass future aid packages. (read more)
♦ Tomorrow’s News Today. Sometime in the not-too-distant future, congress is going to need to spend several trillion to bailout business and individuals who will suffer under the biggest U.S. economic collapse since the 2007 housing crisis.
Within those several trillions of emergency legislative appropriations, supported by both wings of the UniParty as an expression of the economic and humanitarian urgency, the Biden administration will hide the $500 billion in Green New Deal spending. The crisis will not be wasted.
The 2022 democrats are setting up the 2023 republicans to be the people in charge of congress when this economic collapse and subsequent bailout is needed. Lucy with the football Democrats, will demand more money be spent ‘for the people‘, essentially to subsidize the energy driven economic crisis they have fueled for the past two years.
Wash – Rinse – Repeat
The corrupt Ukraine government is a feature, not a bug, for the money laundering and evading Western weapons sanctions.
This is 100% a CIA-led operation with apparently some Pentagon involvement. The Democrats and likely some RINOs have been promised kickbacks for their approval.
How much does anyone want to bet that money authorized by Congress for the Ukraine ends up being funneled back into the United States by various globalist NGOs…for the 2024 election against Trump.
Congress hasn’t authorized all the billions going to Ukraine. Only some of it. Most of it is by EO. The executive branch doesn’t have this authority. Since we don’t have law and order or justice anymore, they get away with it.
Don’t forget Victoria Nuland and the US State Dept. They are eyeball deep in the Ukraine money-laundering scam.
Ukraine is a victim of our corrupt and incompetent ruling class. Biden, Obama, Bradon, Bush have the blood of tens of thousands of Ukrainians on their hands. Only Trump gave them what they wanted and needed.
F*ck the Ukrainians, they are a cesspool over there. They are no more valuable to the planet than any other commie life.
If we had just stayed out of it, Russia wouldn’t have needed to invade in the first place. Put aside the fact that a large chunk of the Ukraine are Nazi sympathizers. Russia invaded because NATO/US overthrew the government, installed US friendly puppets and then went on to arm and train these anti-Russian militants on Russia’s border. These forces went ahead and shot cluster bombs and artillery rounds at civilian targets in Russian populated Eastern Ukraine for 8 years. They killed an estimated 15000 civilians. They are still shooting missiles at civilian targets to this day in cities like Donetsk.
Trump expressed his desire to make peace with Russia during his first campaign. The Deep State were not about to let anyone stop their corrupt money laundering/belligerent Russia baiting operation. So he was framed as a Russian spy. Therefore, any cooperation with Russia would be seen as Trump ‘taking orders from Putin’. So Trump giving the Nazis in Ukraine weapons to antagonize Russia was a huge mistake. That is Trump’s biggest flaw in my opinion. He cares too much about what the psycho liars in the media will think or say about him. Who cares what they say?
Pretty sure that $60,000,000,000 has at least a few BILLION missing already…
…and Billions unused
Plus Zelensky is soon heading into asylum with Billions…
…they all do
Is Sundance saying we are going to have an economic collapse in 2023?
Because he is usually right on these predictions.
i think he’s predictng massive food inflation kicking in in the fall. Everyone is predicting that now actually as farmers can’t get fertilizer. And then it’s going to keep rolling from there.
Isn’t strange all these coincidences that we lived through in 2020 and the ones now occurring in 2022.
Strange that the problems in our economy with inflation, food production, oil prices, viruses just seem to all help the radical agenda of the green new deal radicals just like the 2020 virus was like a dream come true for the Biden campaign.
Yeah that’s what he is saying. He doesn’t have specifics yet. Time will tell, there’s plenty of opportunity to get out of this bubble unscathed, just depends on how invested they are in destroying everything.
As they say in Kiev…Ukraine (lobby) Above All. Glory to the zeros!
Army of Ukraine lobbyists behind unprecedented Washington blitz
…firms working for Ukrainian interests have inundated congressional offices, think tanks, and journalists with more than 10,000 messages and meetings in 2021, according to an analysis of Foreign Agents Registration Act, or FARA, filings…
To put this extraordinary campaign into perspective, the Saudi lobby — known for being one of the largest foreign lobbies in D.C. — reported 2,834 contacts, barely a quarter of what Ukraine’s agents have done.

This is how the Uniparty works. Congress funds $billions in aid, which go to political NGOs overseas, who subcontract lobbyists and lawyers back in the US, who lavish dinners, insider information and other treats back to Congress and its staff. Think tanks, political consultants, pollsters, media blitzes keep the drive for funding alive. Names like Perkins Coie pop up, FusionGPS with never ending streams of “Russian” contacts with “special reports” for sale.
Do we stop and ask, is Ukraine even worth $1 of our money?
Quick send another 80 billion to the zelinsky scam.
Everything that has been done by every nation in response to the Ukraine ‘conflict’ has furthered the globalist agenda of destroying national and individual independence.
Does anyone still believe that the Ukraine ‘conflict’ is anything more than a staged and choreographed event being produced by the WEF, China, Putin/Russia and their globalist affiliates around the world and here in the US?
The various globalist organizations and nations may have differing views of who will ultimately be in control of the ‘new world’ but they have very similar views of what that world will look like and how it will be achieved. At this point these globalists all seem to be working together to reach commonly held goals. The real danger, if it is ever reached, will be when the various nations and groups start fighting among themselves over who will be ‘top dog’ in the ‘new world’.
Wow, I thought I was the only one who thought china and Russia were in on it too.
Nice to have some company.
I disagree. Russia and China are not working with the Globalists. The globalists don’t control Russia or China but they would like to. They’ve demoralized all the once proud nations of the West while China and Russia are their next biggest obstacles. This isn’t to say I think China and Russia are beacons of freedom. They are not. But the enemy of my enemy can sometimes be my friend. It’s such a shame that America had to adopt the psycho interventionist mantle of the British Empire. This will not end well for our empire.
“ Zelenskyy’s weekend firings of his top prosecutor, intelligence chief and other senior officials ….”
Didn’t biden pressure a previous Ukraine president to fire a prosecutor investigating Burisma and Hunter Biden?
All this money must have created a feeding frenzy.
It served its purpose as a cover for inflation and shoving the green new deal up our rear ends. Now it is time to do to Ukraine what he have done to it since 1992 when we defrauded them into giving up their nuclear weapons. We are going to shaft them
Wonder where we will create a new ATM for the families of American politicians and for our elite lobbyists and ruling classes.
I went looking for sundances’ recent lengthy post summarizing the Fourth Branch of Government but could not find. Thought I had bookmarked it but that too has disappeared.
Can sundance or anyone point me in the right direction to locate it again.
thanks.
I don’t know if you’ll see this or not, but here:

Treason and bribery are both mentioned in the Constitution as I remember.
“Those issues, which date back decades and were not an insignificant part of former President Donald Trump’s first impeachment”…
Perfect example of “conflation”…
Sure…
They both involved Ukraine/Intelligence State corruption…
…except one IS biden* corruption and President Trump’s was to prosecute biden*/Ukraine corruption
The impeachment was because President Trump was EXPOSING American and Ukraine corruption…

It is now clear that the “war” between Ukraine and Russia, having failed to turn The Dotard into Winston Churchill and completely failed to justify regime dictatorship because “we’re at war”, has become a professional wrestling match arranged by the globalists to drain money from the American people and their economy. There is no difference between the two countries, and arguably Zelenskyy’s government is worse because Putin’s regime has never pretended to be anything other than a kleptocratic dictatorship. The purpose of the “war” is to finish the collapse begun by the plandemic, the stolen election and the race riots, and hasten the transformatio of the United States of America into the Peoples Republic of Amafrica.
