Credit where credit is due. The question from Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy was articulate, direct and very well presented. However, the response from Biden was, well, just unreal gaslighting.
Peter Doocy questions Biden about three recent examples of his statements the White House had to clean up and clarify immediately. When Biden was confronted with his saying ‘troops were going into Ukraine’, and ‘we will respond in-kind to a chemical weapon attack, and ‘Vladimir Putin has to go’, Joe Biden said those statements never happened. This is almost unreal. WATCH:
Behind the headline is a qualifier that most will miss. “We will urge the companies affected not to follow Putin’s demand.” The problem for the G7 political leaders is that most of the transactions are between private companies. The heads of the U.S, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Canada and the U.K, can stake a position, but the ultimate decision around the transaction in the hands of the private company buyers.
Russia can set the terms. Whether the G7 political leaders shout ‘breach of contract‘ is seemingly a moot point. In the big picture, the politicians have already breached the terms of prior trade agreements with sanctions. Russia can turn off the supply or demand payment in rubles as terms of sale.
BERLIN (AP) — The Group of Seven major economies agreed Monday to reject Moscow’s demand to pay for Russian natural gas exports in rubles.
German energy minister Robert Habeck told reporters that “all G-7 ministers agreed completely that this (would be) a one-sided and clear breach of the existing contracts” for natural gas, which is used to heat homes, generate electricity and power industry.
Joe Biden said the western alliance would target any country that violated the sanctions against Russia. Specifically, after a lengthy telephone call with Chinese Chairman Xi Jinping on March 18th: “President Biden made clear the implication and consequences of China providing material support, if China were to provide material support to Russia, as it prosecutes brutal war in Ukraine,” the senior administration official said, “not just for China’s relationship with the United States, but for the wider world.” (link)
Today, ten days later, China just called Joe Biden’s bluff.
China announces they will violate the western sanctions and continue to purchase crude oil and gas from Russia.
HONG KONG — Chinese state energy company Sinopec will continue to buy crude oil and gas from Russia, a top executive said on Monday, even as Western democracies step up sanctions in response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
The company, known formally as China Petroleum and Chemical, is involved in two major projects in Russia: an oil and gas production joint venture called Taihu in the Volga-Ural petroleum basin in western Russia with state-owned peer Rosneft, and the development of the Amur gas chemical complex and processing plant with Sibur in the Russian Far East, adjoining China.
Two weeks ago, the United States government, State Dept., CIA and their allies in Big Tech, made a public announcement {Go Deep} that stated violence against Russians would be officially sanctioned by Facebook, Instagram and Google. In essence, Big Tech said it was now okay for Russians to be targeted on social media. Today, video footage is leaked showing graphic torture of Russian POW’s by Ukraine military units.
BACKGROUND – The purpose of the shift in Big Tech ‘terms and conditions‘ for the promotion of violence, was seemingly to enhance the western propaganda campaign. Elevating Ukraine’s victim status in the minds of the ordinary citizens, while supporting the negative promotional campaign against Russia and Vladimir Putin was part of the design. The transparent motive of the shift was obvious to those who follow the activity of U.S. intelligence and State Dept.
Deep weeds political followers will remember the first collaboration between Facebook and DoS/CIA using this approach took place in Egypt and Libya at the beginning of the 2010 U.S. Obama-inspired Islamist Spring. A more refined 2022 version was just recently deployed against Russia. The tech control agents needed to parse the nuance carefully to allow targeted and approved violence to be narrowly focused.
Soon after Big Tech made their announcement {via Reuters}, the DoS/CIA and NATO announced they would be providing western military hardware to the Azov battalion in Ukraine – essentially the Ukrainian military’s openly Nazi division. Images soon surfaced showing U.S. military “advisors” training Ukrainian ultranationalist Nazi units (Azov regiment) how to use the U.S. provided FGM-148 javelin missiles.
Even NBC’s Chuck Todd was forced to admit Joe Biden’s polled domestic support keeps getting worse. His approval rating is now the worst in their polling.
The Poll Data is AVAILABLE HERE. Somehow NBC found enough people to show 33 percent of Americans approve of the president’s handling of the economy, compared with 60 percent who disapprove. “Overall, NBC News puts Biden’s approval at 40 percent, which is a record-low for that network’s survey, compared with 55 percent disapproval.” (article link).
The White House was hoping that all the planning that went into yesterday’s grand speech in Poland would help reset the Biden problem. Those hopes collapsed when the muttering nutter rambled through 20 minutes of incoherent jibberish only to encapsulate the speech with the call for Russian regime change at the end, “for God’s sake, this man cannot remain in power.”
Also, don’t believe the nonsense about those being ‘off-the-cuff‘, or ‘ad-libbed ‘ remarks either. They were written into the teleprompter, and he read them (go look). White House Chief of Staff Ron Klain is trying to cover up his own ineptitude by claiming his boss ad-libbed those statements. He didn’t.
Senator Mark Warner is a notoriously corrupt Chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, one of the central pillars of the Fourth Branch of Government. In this interview, Warner discusses the “grey area” of cyber-attacks and how any downstream consequence that imperils U.S. lives can be used as a justification by NATO to engage the Article-5 trigger and consider any Russian intrusion an attack against NATO allies.
Example: Russia shuts down the Ukraine power grid that is also connected to Poland. As a direct consequence, a traffic signal or infrastructure malfunction occurs, and a U.S. military convoy has an accident. A U.S. servicemember is injured or killed. [Or any other non-kinetic action that creates a kinetic consequence.] Does NATO then have justification to attack Russia? Warner is previewing a scenario the Fourth Branch hopes to exploit.
Additionally, within the interview [05:44 prompted], Senator Warner outlines the western approach toward Russia using cryptocurrency as a method to evade sanctions. Notably, Warner outlines that U.S. intelligence/U.S. Govt has control over U.S-based crypto exchanges and they are working with ‘partners’ in the financial sector to mitigate the use of crypto exchanges by non-U.S. actors. WATCH:
All your banking are belong to us.
The conversation is about Russia, for now. However, as noted by the Canada example recently, it’s a short hop from Russia to those who are defined as ‘domestic threats.’
It is always worth a brief reminder when looking at statements from foreign politicians under the influence of the U.S. government via the state department, that all messaging – even messaging that seems provocative, is coordinated by the alignment of interests. The process of promoting a mutually beneficial reality is especially important when reviewing any current statements from Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.
There is no sunlight between the agenda of Zelenskyy and the agenda of the U.S. State department. There are times when the U.S. government will ask their ideological policy partner, Zelenskyy, to be intentionally antagonistic toward the U.S. because the U.S. government is coordinating an internal pressure campaign. It is all part of the carefully crafted propaganda campaign for domestic consumption.
In today’s example the State Dept wants Zelenskyy to keep up public pressure, via ever increasingly desperate demands of the United States for more military engagement. The State Dept (CIA) use the media to create the desperation and hero narrative. The hero begs for help, the media claim the U.S. government isn’t doing enough. Public pressure builds, and then the U.S. government gets to do what they have wanted to do, which was the purpose of asking Zelenskyy to maintain the pressure with increased frustration. Wash – Rinse – Repeat. That’s how the game is played.
When we look at how the media then frames the narrative: “is the west scared of Russia,” this is all done with a purpose and collective intent. Nothing that happens in this scenario is not controlled. All messaging and narrative engineering is coordinated, organized and distributed.
The American people’s view on the Ukraine issue are carefully being manipulated for maximum benefit to the foreign policy establishment. If you do not conform to the pressure, or if you see through the narrative engineering effort, you’re a hater of freedom and a lover of Putin.
The American electorate are in an abusive relationship with our government.
An enterprising journalist from Bolivia [Twitter Link] mapped the countries that support the sanctions against Russia (yellow) versus the countries that are not participating in the western sanctions against Russia (grey). The image provides a visual reference to consider our previous discussions about the cleaving of the global economy between two overarching ideologies.
In my estimation this intentional global cleaving, using the opportunity created by the Ukraine crisis, is going to be the major story of this year. This global splitting can be looked at in multiple ways, but the overarching story is the ramifications of two global trade relationships.
The western alliance (in the yellow above), has forced the world to reevaluate the dollar as the global trade currency, by denying Russia and their trade partners the ability to use the financial mechanisms under western control. To work around the sanctions, Russia is working on new financial systems to sell oil and farm products in non-dollar currencies. There is also a possibility the petro-dollar, for the global trade of oil, might be dropped.
Russia is part of OPEC. While many countries develop their own resources, OPEC sells the majority of oil the rest of the world consumes as the basis for their economic engine. One way to look at the global cleaving is to look at the way energy is viewed.

In his weekly monologue [Transcript HERE], Neil Oliver takes the stories we have outlined on these pages over the past week and weaves them into a comprehensive context. Once you see the manipulation and lies from government, you can never unsee them.
However, the opposite is also true; once you see the truth, you can never not see it – and that sets up a very specific situation. Once you know the truth about a series of events or issues, you can easily see the people who pretend not to know it.
I think the reason I like Oliver is because he uses metaphors and analogies in his monologues to connect issues to a picture of what they really mean. I try to do the same in writing. Oliver takes the recent information and shows how it is all connected. From COVID madness to the western govt lies, that drive us toward war with Russia, it’s all connected; and we can see it. WATCH:
[Transcript] – “If you didn’t laugh, you’d cry – so sometimes the only thing to do is laugh. These are difficult times, made more difficult by the manufactured fear and lies we are force fed around the clock.
There are issues that must be addressed with the utmost seriousness. But, as I say, sometimes you just have to laugh.
The way our leaders and their attendants are going about things – not just recently but for months and years now – reminds me of the behaviour of very young children, toddlers really. Sometimes a toddler will screw his eyes shut in the belief that since he can’t see you, it must follow that you can’t see him.
If our leaders weren’t applying this strategy in times where decisions make the difference between life and death, their antics would only be hilarious.
Today, ten days later, China just called Joe Biden’s bluff.
