This missive is necessarily a hybrid, inasmuch as we are witnessing the exchange of one crisis for another. I'm confident that the Covid saga hasn't completely run out of steam just yet – there are certainly going to be a large number of unreported revelations coming from the FDA in the coming months, for starters – but the momentum that has maintained the paralysis of critical thinking for the best part of two years is much diminished. In its place, inevitably, another world altering circumstance that is going to come at us in entirely predictable fashion. I will deal with the death throes of one and detail the other.
Does it feel as though we are nearly out of the woods? It was 19th January when Boris signaled the beginning of the end for 'vaccine' mandates and the end of the beginning of the attempted totalitarian takeover. No great foresight was required to see that Johnson's announcement would lead to possibly irresistible pressure on other regimes to do likewise, although it was obvious that there would be some heel draggers; and so it has proved. However, in the past three weeks, it's all gone a bit pear-shaped, with the Ukraine 'crisis' front and centre. Am I alone in thinking that the US (and, latterly, the UK and the EU) seemed to be seized with a sudden obsession? And that they deliberately prodded Putin into action? Why would they do that, I wonder?
I can think of several good reasons unconnected with any of the more obvious theories. Yes, perhaps it's a dastardly plot to prise Germany from Russia's embrace by getting the former to nix the Nordstream 2 pipeline and yes, NATO has been looking for an opponent for the past thirty years and now they have one. Let's not waste too much time on the oft cited but wholly implausible narrative to do with the sanctity of international borders and the Holy Grail that is democracy – not while the US southern border is subject to a continual invasion (by US design) and while also acknowledging that the Americans spent $5 billion destabilizing and helping to overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014; which is something they even admit to.(1) More on that shortly. But firstly, as one of the effects (and, no doubt, this was the intention) of the crisis in Eastern Europe is to distract from other issues, notably Covid, let me first fill you in on the reasons why now is a good time to go to war.
Truckers
What is nobody talking about any more? Covid, for sure, but also the truckers of whatever nationality. It's almost as though they don't want to give us hope and would prefer us to go back to the doom and gloom of the past two years. So, where exactly are we with truckers? The Canadians have gone home due to the massive crackdown by police and, just afterwards, Trudeau got wind of a Senate revolt against his Emergency Act declaration (2) and suddenly reversed course but, in typical globalist fashion, things have not returned to normal, despite appearances.
The government had previously sequestered the right to steal Canadians' money as well as force them to take the 'vaccine'. The New Normal will involve legislation that gives them the permanent right to freeze protesters' bank accounts.(3) This while seven provinces (of ten) have announced the revocation of mandates, the very thing the federal government won't do and which led to the protest in the first place.(4) In fact, only British Columbia is still keeping all measures in place.(5)
And did you know that the US version of the Freedom Convoy is rolling and that is has so far gathered approximately 10,000 vehicles in a convoy of 70 miles?(6) No? So far, the state's tactic has been one of two favored when things don't go its way – either shout about it illogically or ignore it. They've currently plumped for the latter, ably abetted by their bosom buddies in the media. I suspect that they will only swap to tactic number two when they feel that they have something that they can spin to their advantage. So, brace yourself for the usual torrent of nonsense about 'white supremacists' and 'domestic terrorists' once the convoy rocks up in DC.
Australia
Once again, massive protests that are routinely under-reported by police and media. The recent demonstration in Canberra was probably 500,000 strong, as even local police reports referenced over 1,000,000 vehicles entering Canberra on the day. The police said that there were 10,000 demonstrators; there must just have been a lot of people visiting the city (population 430,000) that day – a local market or trade show, perhaps?(7)
That wasn't the only questionable police action. They acknowledged the use of Long Range Acoustic Devices (LRADs) there; it was difficult not to as they were photographed with them.(8) LRADs have been used in crowd control and combat situations in the past. They have two settings – one, a very loud spoken word function and two, an alert function which concentrates sound pulses much more and which can cause brain damage, dizziness and swelling as well as other symptoms. There are multiple reports of blisters, extreme fatigue, children sleeping all day, tinnitus, vomiting, bleeding noses, swollen eyes, hearing loss – hundreds of them, but the police say they only used function number one. The same police that tried to prevent citizen journalists reporting, that disrupted the cell phone service. The electro-magnetic field reading was also twenty times the safe level.(9) But, nonetheless, injuries such as this were definitely not caused by state action and Elvis has been located shining shoes at Central Station.
Picture 1
Austria
A frequent stop on the usual whistle stop tour and a proponent of 'vaccine' blitzkrieg, the Austrian government has been at the cutting edge of 'pandemic' fascism. It was they that proposed fining all 'unvaccinated' citizens and then passed legislation that formalized the tyranny. This did absolutely nothing to convince the 'hesitant' to step forwarded in a newly decisive manner. In fact, the 'vaccination' rate dropped the day after the mandate came into force and the trend continued for the rest of that week.(10) And then, all of a sudden, it was over. The government announced that the refuseniks would be re-admitted to society on March 5th (11), although the law stayed on the books regardless. One can never be too sure as to the reasons why the state executed such a prompt volte-face, because any explanation given by these regimes is almost certain to be false. Nonetheless, temporary progress.
France
Next, a short hop over to our Gallic friends, commanded (for now) by Emperor Macron. In the third week of February, four million of his subjects awoke to find that the government had deactivated their 'vaccine' passports, as they had been rather remiss in not getting their booster as promptly as they had been ordered. Their tardiness was not entirely surprising; the French had changed the time elapsed many times, from six months, to three months, back up to seven months and then back down to four months.(12)
It seems Macron was making good on his promise to 'piss off' those who disagreed with him. And then, two weeks later the state started walking back the 'vaccine' mandates.(13) It appears that the WEF has all the European heads of state on the same WhatsApp group.
NZ
But Headmistress Ardern is made of sterner stuff. It took the High Court to put a crimp in her style, but having her 'vaccine' mandates struck down due to them being a 'gross violation of human rights' constitutes a powerful rebuke.(14) She has other problems at the moment. In an entirely predictable development, closing the country down and coercing the populace into getting jabbed doesn't end well for the jabbees. There has been a massive spike in hospitals admissions and the fully 'vaccinated' account for at least 80% of them.(15) It's not entirely clear why a government would persist in 'vaccinating' its population when the numbers reflect the utter failure of the campaign, unless they are simply intent on causing more damage.
Figure 1
Israel
Another regular stop off, as the country has been the Pfizer petri dish experiment for the past year with that 'vaccine' in exclusive use. It's fair to say that the results have not been compelling, but this hasn't stopped the state from enforcing mandates with a similar zeal to Austria's. However, to the credit of the Ministry of Health, some soon to be ex-employee came up with the revolutionary concept of actually surveying 'vaccine' recipients, rather than waiting for them to report adverse events themselves. The recording system is known to be prone to severe under-reporting, especially if the medical profession insists that there are minimal side effects and the jab is safe. What they found may have shocked them, maybe not; depending on levels of cognitive dissonance and outright hypocrisy.
“Ministry of Health of Israel – the pioneer in administering Pfizer’s experimental vaccine – had on February 9th issued the results of a survey recording adverse effects in those who received the third shot, which had revealed that two-thirds of them reported health problems; that report was quickly removed from the ministry’s website.”(16)
That's the problem with initiative; it has a habit of revealing truths best left hidden. There is an obvious observation worth making. If regulatory bodies were truly interested in the efficacy and safety of an experimental drug, which only has emergency use authorization and which is of a previously untried technology, they would have been doing a proactive survey from the beginning. But they're not, so they weren't. Neither had the Ministry evinced any curiosity when 180,000 first dose recipients decided that one was enough, despite losing all the privileges that their Green Pass gave them. That's 3% of the total.(17)
The report details the severity of the complaints; one in 200 were actually hospitalised, 29% had difficulty performing daily activities, 10% of women under 54 had disruptions to their menstrual cycle, 25% of those with auto-immune disorders or depression/anxiety reported a worsening of symptoms, post jab.(18) All so that they could give themselves a better chance of getting Covid again in the future. It is reasonable to assume that these results will be the same or similar wherever a country has deployed the Pfizer jab. The numbers in big populations will be staggering. But the Israelis have set in train a sequence of events that will now inevitably play out. At one point in January, as the only quadruple vaxxed country in the world with strictly enforced mask mandates and 'vaccine' passports, 5% of the entire population was Covid positive.(19)
The Green Pass for public venues was discontinued on March 1st, although mask mandates and some restrictions will remain because, well, because. Children still need to test twice a week in order to attend classes.(20) This is not the first time that the revocation of these measures has been promised and then, shortly thereafter, rescinded and given the above documented malfeasance by organs of the state, it would be unwise to believe too fiercely.
US
Even America is relenting, although only at the state and judicial level. The Senate Republicans, in another demonstration of performative politics, passed a resolution ending the national state of emergency,(21) an utterly futile endeavor which will not pass the Democrat controlled House and, even if by some miracle it did, will be vetoed by Biden. The best you can say for the senators is that, for once, they weren't actively trying to hurt the country.
On a more practical level, nearly a dozen states reversed or partially lifted mandates in February,(22) and the NFL actually suspended pretty much all its Covid protocols, which didn't really have much effect given the fact that the season was long over.(23) The SCOTUS demonstrated, once more, that it is primarily a political (rather than legislative) body by striking down some mandates and not others.(24) Having said that, this was Justice Sotomayer's doing, a judge who has a tenuous grasp of Covid reality but a much firmer appreciation of her allotted role of activist judge.
So, at first flush, it might seem that overall progress is being made. However, as is frequently the case with the US, all is not what it seems. Instead of leaving 'vaccine' passports in the rear view mirror, a stealth roll-out is under way. The news that a coalition of Big Tech players were working to create a digital passport was not a surprise; that's what members of the overlord class do.(25) Inevitably, the word SMART was utilized (SMART Health Card) and 21 states, with another four about to commit, have launched the initiative. Why would US states be promoting 'vaccine' passports at the precise moment that other countries are backing out of them?
Well, naturally, it's for our benefit. Some other countries might require proof of 'vaccination' (increasingly not), many indoor venues in the US require it too (increasingly not) and the QR code only results in a display of name, date of birth and 'vaccination' status which (I can't believe they are advancing this as a benefit) allegedly 'empowers the individual'.(26) Now, I don't want you to immediately think that such a thing is utter drivel.
“The idea of being able to have trustworthy copies of your own health records is not a red or blue state issue. It is an individual empowerment of your own health data. What we're going to see over the next month is a growing number of red states recognizing and appreciating the importance of empowering their individual citizens in their states.”(27)
Okay, now you can think it. Apparently, this won't be the last 'pandemic' (we know that because Bill Gates, noted scientist, told us so) and having a code on my 'phone that tells me I'm 'vaccinated' – even though I know I am – is still empowering; apparently.
As a writer at Telecoms online magazine, while commenting on the European equivalent, sagely observed:
“...with the UK ending all Covid-related restrictions and many other countries headed in that direction, this renewed zeal for the mandating of vaccines proven to have limited efficacy is baffling. It’s almost as if organizations like the WHO are reluctant to relinquish the massive increase in their power the pandemic conferred.”(28)
It is a bit, isn't it? But how much better it would be if they can sell it to us under another guise, not as something mandatory but as something that’s useful and ‘empowering’, while simultaneously persuading private business to make life difficult for the unenlightened who don't see technology as the panacea to cure all ills and who also know that it won't just be 'vaccination' status on the screen, but financial too. Expect much more of this drivel in the future. I'll warrant that more and more private enterprises will find ways of forcing us to comply, especially if access to funding capital is contingent upon it. Which it will be.
Deaths/blood clots
What else could they possibly be hiding? Only facts like these:
Figure 2
Remember when they fell back to the new line of defense; you know, when it became too difficult to pretend that the 'vaccines' stopped people getting Covid and transmitting it? The new mantra was that its true benefit lay in preventing hospitalisations and deaths. Turns out, not so much. But it's going to be pretty difficult to fabricate another story which simultaneously acknowledges the fatalities and adverse events, so the best option is still to ignore data like this and call everybody who mentions it an 'anti-vaxxer'.
Then, of course, there is Pfizer's own data, which is gradually being released due to a FOIA request.
Figure 3
That table is lifted straight from Pfizer's report. It's not so much the total number of adverse event cases, because the amount of jabs it relates to is redacted; it's the proportion of fatalities to cases. It seems that around 2.9% of all adverse event reports to Pfizer resulted in a fatality. I'm pretty sure that isn't part of the narrative. But, because they are such caring and competent folks over at Pfizer (or because they decided to get ahead of the story), they joined the CDC in warning that anybody, even healthy young athletes, can suffer from Deep Vein Thrombosis.(29) Interestingly, there was no mention of 'vaccines' – it just seemed to have popped into their collective heads at around the same time and they thought they should share it with us; just a public health announcement, for which we shall all be grateful. Amen.
Meanwhile, over in the Fourth Reich, a German health insurance company decided to follow the lead of the rugged individualist from the Israeli Ministry of Health and actually analysed some data, rather than attempting to hide it or pretend it didn't exist. They found that, of their 10.9 million policyholders, 400,000 visits to the doc due to complications from the 'vaccines' was a little on the steep side.(30) They were shocked, shocked I tell you. Of course they were.
It seems that they weren't the only people who were suddenly noticing previously unobserved phenomena. Next, it was the turn of funeral directors and embalmers. Brace yourselves.
Figure 4
Figure 5
These clots are from the veins and arteries of deceased persons. Numerous board certified professionals are finding these blood clots in the majority of the corpses that they are encountering. It's not something they had ever seen before mid-2021 and the only viable causal link is the 'vaccines'. The deceased died from heart attacks, strokes and aneurysms. One of the funeral directors disclosed that he had only seen a similar clot in one unvaccinated person, but that she had recently received a blood transfusion.(31)
Data from Public Health Scotland (who recently complained that their data was being used by anti-vaxxers to promote disinformation, so they weren't going to issue some of it any more), shows that heart attacks and strokes doubled among young adults in 2021.(32) The same source confirms that the 'vaccinated' population was responsible for 80% of all Covid 'cases', hospitalisations and deaths in December and January.(33)
Figure 6
Imagine how much worse it would be without the 'vaccines'. Doesn't bear thinking about.
VAIDS
I have previously mentioned VAIDS – Vaccine Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome – and alluded to the fact that the nomenclature itself was not widely accepted. It seems that is changing. HIV AIDS damages the T cells and weakens the immune system. The 'vaccine' induced version is causing cancers and auto-immune diseases by way of suppressing the immune system and either sparking cancerous growths or igniting opportunistic, existing but stable conditions. One experienced pathologist, who gave evidence to the US Congress and who conducts approximately 40,000 biopsies a year, noted that since January 1st 2021, he had seen a 2000% increase in endometrial (uterine) cancers.(34)
Even as a non-expert, it doesn't seem to be a particularly challenging concept to grasp. If a substance or circumstance trashes the immune system, it stands to reason that a person would be more vulnerable to disease. That might come from within, whereby a latent condition is no longer held in check by a healthy immune system, or from without. It is well established that the first stab at coronavirus vaccines was an abject failure, as the animal subjects developed Antibody Dependent Enhancement (ADE) - a condition which causes the immune system to attack itself – and died. It's not a fanciful notion with mRNA 'vaccines' either; Pfizer specifically acknowledges that some instances of ADE will occur. They just don't know how many.(35)
Presumably, this explains why we are being asked to believe that there is a genuine new AIDS strain in existence.(36) Just like we are to believe in DVT in young, healthy people and two new types of heart condition (as detailed in previous essays). They must think we're stupid and, to be fair, they wouldn't be completely off target with at least half of the population. After all, Prince Harry is being rolled out as the figurehead of a new campaign, to carry on the work of his mother of course, and we are all being encouraged to have an AIDS test; it's our duty to keep other people safe. Know your status. It all sounds vaguely familiar, doesn't it? And they wouldn’t be using him unless they thought that some of us still give a tinker’s toss what he thinks.
Shedding...again.
Just a thought, really. Media such as the Telegraph newspaper in the UK were given their orders as early as March 2020. While talking about the rapidly spreading Wuhan virus, they stated:
“However, if a cure is found, the pace at which it is distributed will be crucial. A range of technologies are being developed to quicken the delivery of vital medicines. One such technology is self-spreading vaccines, whereby the cure spreads through the population in the same way a virus would.”(37)
The New Scientist, in September 2020:
“A cost-effective way to allow a vaccine to “naturally” spread worldwide without the need for developing billions of doses a vaccine to distribute vial injection … involves re-engineering a “benign virus” by adding genetic material from the coronavirus pathogen and infecting large quantities of reservoir populations.
To get a genetically engineered virus to “self-spread” scientists must first directly inoculate a small population intravenously. The small population will then go on to spread the virus aerobically.”(38)
As is usual in these circumstances, tiny objections concerning bioethics and informed consent are swept aside due to the overwhelming emergency facing us. In addition, there has been copious anecdotal evidence that shedding is an issue with the Covid 'vaccines', although it can't be the virus itself that is expressed, but rather the spike protein. In the initial stages after 'vaccination', when the body is a spike protein factory and there are billions of them circulating, it is entirely possible that they can be secreted through skin, bodily fluid and even aerosols.
It does seem far fetched; were it not for the fact that Pfizer have accepted that environmental exposure to the 'vaccine' happens. In the document setting out the clinical protocols for the trial, they are clear on the subject. They are particularly concerned about pregnant women, which is deeply strange, when you consider that they are now recommending that it is safe for this group of people. Seemingly, not only is it possible for transmission to occur through bodily contact or through breathing the same air as a recently 'vaccinated' individual, it can also happen via breast milk.(39) Once more, we are told by 'fact checkers' that something is false, another trope of the anti vaxxers, whereas it is unquestionably true.
As far as we know, we have been dealing with what we might term unintentionally shedding 'vaccines', if we were inclined to give the drug companies the benefit of the doubt; given what we know about Pfizer and the like, that is a risky approach. Especially when those same companies have been doing research on vaccines that shed by design. Naturally, the initial justification will be to experiment in animals, by inserting a small piece of genetic material into a virus that already spreads within the animal community. Apparently, this has already been done in rabbits.
A self spreading vaccine would have a much wider spread than one which is injected into a single arm and the more the replication, the more the chance of mutation and immune escape.(40) Naturally, scientists will think they can find a way around this, because they believe that they can manipulate nature to their own ends, without repercussions. In that spirit, they are already trying to run before they can walk and proposing a version that will 'combat Covid 19'.(41) This is despite the fact that there have been no long term trials, in animals let alone humans, and even the known knowns are potentially catastrophic, in terms of mutation and having exactly the opposite effect to the one desired; and that's without the unknowns which should become apparent during trials. But quibbles such as these have had no effect on proceedings so far.
And how could such a thing ever be recalled, when its very nature mitigates against it? Once it's out there, it's out there for good and there is nothing that can be done, which makes the need for comprehensive research even more vital. Bear in mind also that there will likely be no redress. Vaccine manufacturers are generally exempt from liability, remember? I don't know whether these 'vaccines' are designed to self spread. But if our overlords were dissatisfied with the rate of take-up, can you see them cutting corners with testing and then not telling us what they are doing? Yes, thought so. So can I. That’s a run-down of what Covid news has been knocked off the front page and a lot more that never would have made it to press. Now, the new saga.
Ukraine
First things first. This explanation is not going to be a knee jerk binary response, which is the sum total of all legacy media coverage of the war in Ukraine. There really is no need to delve too deeply into all the sound and fury to find reasons to doubt the official narrative; if the WEF and George Soros are backing Ukraine, we should know that mischief is afoot.(42) They are rarely on the right side of anything.
Putin is not a good man. He is an ex KGB/FSB colonel, who came to power after the chaos of the Yeltsin years and cemented his position with a renewed offensive against the Chechen separatists which, lest we forget, was prompted by the Russian apartment bombings in September 1999, which killed more than 300 Russians and was allegedly the work of the Chechens, but was in fact the work of the FSB, presumably acting on Putin's orders. We know this because of two and a half reasons; two FSB thugs were captured having just planted another bomb in the city of Ryazan (around 120 miles from Moscow), another blast was announced in the Russian parliament three days before it actually detonated and a bombing campaign by a tiny province against the mother country is generally held to be a flawed plan, inevitably provoking a robust response. The last reason is only worth a half, as people are clearly known to do stupid things as a way of life, but nonetheless.
Since his ascendancy, a large number of family and friends have become unaccountably flush with rubles and an even larger number of political opponents and journalists have been shot, poisoned or thrown off tall buildings. The Russian people have endured mixed economic fortunes, at best, while the court of Putin has been swanning about the Med on their super yachts. Putin has also made no secret of his desire to regain at least some of what was lost when the Soviet Union disintegrated; especially Ukraine. He has pursued a strategy of weakening the West with a combination of tactics – funding Green parties, sponsoring cyber-attacks and propaganda bot factories and increasing European dependence on Russian gas, which the Germans (particularly) have succumbed to.
Figure 7
Indeed, at the same time that Germany is decommissioning the last of its nuclear power stations, thereby becoming even more reliant on imports, Russia has been building nuclear power stations so that it may export yet more of its gas. You really couldn't make this stuff up, but we are still expected to believe (instead) in a random series of unavoidable events.
In any event, Putin is a calculating bad guy who has sought to undermine Western Europe and to expand Russian territory by invading Ukraine. And in today's febrile political atmosphere and with the tame regime media in tow, it must mean that Zelensky (the Ukrainian president) and the country itself must ride about on white chargers as the latter day incarnations of the Knights of the Round Table, yes? And that the US is intervening on the side of the angels? Well, no. The truth is rather more complicated. Ukraine is no better than Russia in terms of corruption and Zelensky has been extremely unpopular with his own citizens. There has been the usual intimidation of the opposition and free thinking journalists and a recklessness (or obduracy) that has exacerbated an already tense stand-off.
Picture 2 Blofeld and the Hero of Kiev
The President is on the record, calling for NATO membership and for nuclear weapons to be stationed on Ukrainian soil. It's difficult to think of a more inflammatory action, especially as Putin has regularly made clear (rightly or wrongly) that he will not tolerate such an outcome. On its face, this does not seem to be an unreasonable position for Russia’s president to take. NATO is a military organisation whose explicit mission had been to oppose Soviet expansion westwards. In the past thirty years or so, it has failed to re-calibrate and has devoted its energies to recruiting traditional neutrals and ex Soviet sphere republics. This has borne fruit. Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia (which all border Russia or its client state Belarus) are all now members as are Poland and Hungary. Indeed, in 2004, seven countries joined NATO, all of them East European.
But:
“The plan to increase the membership of NATO fails to take account of the real international situation following the end of the Cold War and proceeds in accord with a logic that made sense only during the Cold War....nobody is trying to re-divide Europe. It is therefore absurd to claim, as some have, that it is necessary to take new members into NATO to avoid a future division of Europe; if NATO is to be the principal instrument for unifying the continent, then logically the only way it can do so is by expanding to include all European countries.”(43)
So said the US Ambassador to the Soviet Union, 1987-91. Putin himself is on the record as wanting to join NATO and Western European culture.(44) And, would you credit it, after decades of declining the kind offer, both Finland and Sweden have also decided that now (right now) is the time to join.(45)
If Ukraine were to join also; well, see for yourself.
Figure 8
It's not a difficult one, is it? If we can remove our innate sense of us and them (when we accord our side legitimate motivation and excoriate our opponent with impure thoughts), we may start to gain an appreciation of why the Russians may be feeling a little sensitive. Every Western country of any note will soon be a member of an organisation that will have the ability to park nuclear weapons on their soil. The Russians have made their displeasure clear but, despite their warnings, the Scandinavian countries seem to be rushing headlong into the alliance.
I am not suggesting that Russia has the right to dictate the foreign policy of Sweden or Finland. Neither do I think that they have the God-given right to do so in Ukraine. However, NATO is a military alliance whose sole purpose has always been to oppose the Russians, which has repeatedly breached personal assurances (46) that NATO would not expand eastwards after German unification. These were never formalized, which gives the apologists from the neocon establishment an out, but they were delivered to Gorbachev by the leaders of America, the UK, Germany and France. If you're British, think of it like this. The Russians have signed up Ireland, Iceland, France, Spain and the Low Countries; they've all joined the Warsaw Pact and will shortly take delivery of some nukes that will be pointing your way. If you're American, substitute a smattering of Caribbean countries, Canada and Mexico. I seem to recall a certain froideur when Khrushchev had missiles in Cuba.
And for what? What is the pressing need to do all this now? Regardless of the rights and wrongs of it, a little understanding of what the Russians are thinking might be in order because, the other way around, the US would be feeling pretty much the same emotions. The Americans (because the Americans are NATO in all but name) haven't so much poked the bear as smacked it around the head with a length of two by four.
Back to Ukraine. When the two regions in the east (which are nearly 50% Russian speaking and collectively known at the Donbas) voted to secede in 2014, this was not well received in Kiev. It came hard on the heels of the color revolution, known as the Euromaidan, which replaced a democratically elected, Russia friendly President with an unelected, pro Western President; this event then precipitated the Russian invasion of the Crimea. Russia additionally sought to destabilize the Donbas region, but didn't actually recognize their declarations of independence. Ukraine retaliated and a shooting war commenced, which was arbitrated to a ceasefire (or should have been) by two agreements known as the Minsk Protocols. However, there has never been a true ceasefire and the Ukrainian military has continuously shelled the enclave, resulting in around 14,000 civilian deaths.
A country is not obliged to accept that part of it has decided to secede, especially when the process of doing so is being orchestrated by a foreign power. On the other hand, it could be argued that the Donbas had a right to leave Ukraine as a coup had replaced the legitimate government with one that was more hostile to its interests. My purpose is not to pronounce judgement on a situation that is clearly complex, merely to point out that matters are not as black and white as we are being led to believe.
So, Putin is being put under huge political pressure; additionally, it would seem as that the Scandinavians are going to join NATO regardless, now. What else is going on? Well, in its wisdom, the US and most of its allies have decided that they are also going to take down the Russian economy. Not just sanction the oligarchs; they appear to have set their heart on regime change. This time they have targeted the Russian Central Bank and the Russian Foreign Investment Fund, as well as attempting to lock the Russians out of the global financial system.(47) They have done this by banning transactions with the central bank and most of their allies have followed suit, with one or two notable exceptions (which I'll come to shortly). The Russian ruble dropped 30% on receipt of the news and Putin immediately ordered a halt to any currency transactions – they would all have been sell orders and the ruble would have tanked further. He also closed the Russian Stock Exchange. Russian foreign deposits of over $600 billion were seized, thus preventing Putin from selling other currencies to bolster the ruble.
There are one or two anomalies; the Mexicans have not joined the madding throng in banning trade with Russia, neither has Saudi Arabia (who recently signed a gas deal with the Russians) and neither have the Americans, staggeringly. They are still importing $1 billion of gas every day – and paying for it – thus helping to fund the war against their ally, Ukraine. Once again, it's difficult to credit some of this, but that is what's happening. Their excuse is that, were they to stop buying gas, the price would rise. The truth of the matter is that Biden has made the US dependent on foreign supplies by virtue of his energy policy and his appeal to the Arabs to increase production whilst the crisis is ongoing has fallen on deaf ears. It's also worth noting that, while the Russians are delivering 670,000 barrels of oil to the US daily, the Keystone Pipeline (which Biden cancelled on day one of his presidency) would have delivered 830,000 barrels a day.(48)
Of course, sanctions have been used before, on Russia and others like Iran, but never to this extent. The timing is also significant. If it's accepted that there are three main ways of waging modern warfare – economic, cyber and kinetic – then the US has declared war on Russia while the shooting match is still ongoing, rather than punishing them when the action is over. They have enrolled themselves as a combatant and they are leaving Putin very few options. If he were to withdraw immediately, there is no guarantee that the sanctions will automatically be suspended. It doesn't appear that moderate US/NATO responses are the order of the day, at present.
But if he were to cut his losses, what will be the effect on his credibility at home? Would it result in the Russian people coming together or, conversely, may it encourage adversaries to attempt to replace him? This is a man with a nuclear arsenal, remember, and he will shortly be faced with an enemy alliance that is three (not two) countries stronger and arrayed at nearly every part of his western border, from which both Napoleon and Hitler invaded. There is now no reason to go easy on the Russians with the Ukrainian conundrum; not if the Scandinavians are also in the mix, as the damage will still be done. The Russians will still be on the back foot. The flying time of any strike missiles sent the way of Moscow will be significantly reduced and Putin's targets multiplied and diversified.
Conclusion
The timing of the war is undoubtedly serving as a distraction in the West. It short-circuits any desire to hold the regimes accountable for their Covid crimes and it drowns out all background noise about inflation, fuel prices and shortages. It turns Putin into a scapegoat for all that is about to ail the West. However, the Russian premier is not difficult to read. It's not as if Putin was going to leave Ukraine alone, if he got half a chance. He hadn't forgotten his history and the shelling of Donbas was a constant reminder. But he didn't make a move during Trump's presidency; it was only after Biden botched the withdrawal from Afghanistan at the end of August, leaving behind Americans and abandoning both an ally and billions of dollars of military hardware, that the Russians decided that what they really needed to do was conduct extensive military manoeuvres near the Ukrainian border from October onwards. This was not a surprise, any more than the current saber rattling by the Chinese over Taiwan is, nor the renewed missile testing by Little Rocket Man in North Korea. All three countries had been held in check by the implied threat of an American response if they decided to try their luck, but the US military under this administration seemed weak, so they were always likely to chance their arm, sooner or later.
But maybe, just maybe, Putin has been played. Perhaps the Afghan withdrawal was deliberately mishandled. It's certainly difficult to see how it could have been done worse, as giving up a commanding military situation before evacuating anybody was about as schoolboy an error as it was possible to make. Everything about the departure from Kabul was a shambles and everybody said so at the time. Perhaps it was by design all along, because there have been other provocations along the way, as well.
Ukraine has become a US client state; so much so, that it was the State Department that took it upon itself to select the new Ukrainian Prime Minister in 2014.(49) It appears that they had a naval base there as well (50) and NATO and Ukraine have held joint exercises in the Ukraine.(51) In fact:
“Since 2014, the United States has given Ukraine military equipment and set up a training mission in the Western portion of the country, away from the contact line. U.S. troops have helped Ukraine stand up better special operations units.”(52)
Remember, this is all just a means to an end. Even the upcoming food shortages and the existing fuel hikes, potentially catastrophic though they may be, are not the only important factors. Follow the money, too, both in terms of who is getting it and what form it takes. We are already in a rip tide, although the vast majority of people haven't caught on yet. It's likely that they won't until it's too late, because things are moving very quickly now. This is by design; the globalists know where they are going as they have the script to hand. Most of us are trying to keep up while keeping one eye on what might be next. It helps to know what the desired destination is, of course. We are going to be told that the global food crisis is a result of a Russian embargo on fertilizer. It's not. But it’s likely to be a tipping point in the West.
So, in the course of this year there is going to be a serious problem with empty shelves and empty gas stations. There will be a need (obviously) to stop people hoarding, to be fair and equitable so that everyone gets a chance to be hungry – except the elites, naturally. The best way that can be accomplished is by some form of rationing and, in turn, that objective will be advanced by a programmable Central Bank Digital Currency. You can hear the politicians making the case and you can also hear the Lefties, the monomaniacs, cheering on the authorities in the same way that they did when the state decided that we all needed to stay home in case we exposed the 'pandemic' fallacy...apologies, so that we could 'slow the spread'.
Incidentally, how dumb would you have to be to believe that digital currencies are the way to go? If the West is able to freeze Russian assets to the value of $630 billion, which is allegedly 'real' money, how much easier would it be to tamper with the digital version? A sensible country, not in thrall to US hegemony, might want to accumulate reserves in a currency and a location that the US cannot easily access. If enough countries come to that realization, the status of the US dollar as the world's de facto reserve currency will be under threat. Ordinarily, this possibility ought to focus minds in Washington. However, if the cratering of the US economy is actually the objective, perhaps not. And the Russians?
“The entire artifice of “money“ as a universal store of value risks being eroded by the banning of key exports to Russia and boycotts of the kind corporations like Apple and Nike announced this week. If currency balances were to become worthless computer entries and didn’t guarantee buying essential stuff, Moscow would be rational to stop accumulating them and stockpile physical wealth in oil barrels, rather than sell them to the West. At the very least, more of Russia’s money will likely shift into gold and Chinese assets.”(53)
Indeed, the head of the Federal Reserve said the quiet part out loud in recent testimony to Congress, stating that it is possible to have more than one global reserve currency, seemingly oblivious to the fact that such an arrangement would inevitably harm the dollar.(54) Note the use of the word 'seemingly'. It may just possibly be that he was pre-empting the inevitable, as the Russians and the Saudis already have an arrangement of sorts, which is suspected to include trading oil outside the petrodollar system, but I wouldn’t count on it.
We find it encouraging that the protests throughout the Western world seem to have finally had an effect. Our impression may be that the truckers, though they eventually lost the battle, have at least helped turn the tide in the war. There is one important element of this confrontation between the people and the elites that we are missing. It's one thing to seek to recover something that still exists, such as the right to peacefully assemble. It's another to try to regain something tangible that has been willfully destroyed, albeit temporarily at present. The elites have their hands on the levers of power. There isn't a sudden realization that world reserves of oil and gas are about to run out. This is an engineered crisis but, unlike emergency orders that can be struck down tomorrow, fertilizer made with gas (as an example) cannot suddenly be created out of thin air.
If it hasn't been manufactured, it doesn't exist. If it doesn't exist, there will be shortages of food. How, then, will critics of CBDCs gain any traction when it is obvious to anybody that there actually does need to be rationing? And how will we be able to point to the true causes of our difficulties when the media will be full of stories blaming Russia's embargo for our woes, despite the fact that it is the elites' Machiavellian long and short term energy policies that have led us inevitably to this point? Can you imagine what the state will try to do to all spreaders of 'misinformation'? Think it will stop at de-platforming and de-banking? Or will those green camps that they haven't built come in useful, after all?
And what is Putin going to do? Backing a nuclear power into a corner hasn't been tried before, for good reason. He's going to exacerbate the West's coming food crisis (although, ironically, that is what the elites want him to do)(55) and his actions will prompt other countries to do similarly – notably, Hungary, one of Europe's most grain rich nations. And the other two branches of war, cyber and kinetic? I have no idea how close Putin is to pressing the red button and sending ICBMs on their way (one would hope, not very) but he is already engaged in a kinetic war in Ukraine and the Russians have long been accused of sophisticated ransomware attacks on the West. So much so that our old friend Klaus Schwab felt the need to remind us of the possibilities:
“In November 2020, the World Economic Forum and Carnegie Endowment for International Peace coproduced a report that warned that the global financial system was increasingly vulnerable to cyberattacks. Advisers to the group that produced the report included representatives from the Federal Reserve, the Bank of England, the International Monetary Fund, Wall Street giants such as JPMorgan Chase, and Silicon Valley behemoths such as Amazon.
The ominous report was published just months after the World Economic Forum had conducted a simulation of just such an event—a cyberattack that brings the global financial system to its knees—in partnership with Russia’s largest bank, which is due to jumpstart that country’s economic transformation by launching its own central bank–backed digital currency.”(56)
Spooky that the Russian Central Bank was involved; I wonder if it means that they have acquired some inside knowledge on how to do it? And I'm convinced that the fact that the WEF conducted its Event 201 – a table top simulation of a coronavirus pandemic – just before the 'pandemic' in October 2019 is of absolutely no significance. They're just far-sighted individuals. It's not as though they have any real power or influence, is it?
”We all know, but still pay insufficient attention to the frightening scenario of a comprehensive cyber attack which would bring to a complete halt to the power supply, transportation, hospital services, our society as a whole. The Covid-19 crisis would be seen in this respect as a small disturbance in comparison to a major cyber attack. To use the Covid-19 crisis as a timely opportunity to reflect on the lessons cyber security community can draw and improve our in preparedness for a potential cyber pandemic.”(57)
Or, translated from authoritarian speak, 'you ain't seen nothing yet.' Naturally, Klaus is using the report as a cudgel, to beat the general public into an acceptance of digital currencies because it's obvious to all and sundry that the way to protect from cyber attacks is to create a cyber currency, with no paper back-up. What could possibly go wrong? And how would we ever know who did what? It seems to me that it would be very simple to initiate the collapse and then blame whoever happens to be Public Enemy No. 1 (currently Putin, obviously) and us unsophisticated rubes from the boonies would never know any better, would we?
Do you need any more convincing that the time is now? How about this. Look at the age of all these people; Soros (91), Gates (66), Schwab (83). Are we to assume that they are laying the groundwork for when they've gone, or do you think they might want to see the fruits of their labors? I think they want the end game to begin now. I think we know which of the possible scenarios the elites could have utilized has been chosen. If you feel that the Ukraine crisis has been mishandled, think again. I think it's going just how they want it to.
