How likely is nuclear war, really? Do you really want to find out? Or is this just rope-a-dope?

Friends,

How likely is a nuclear war right now? Sam Faddis has a good article on it here, and Tucker Carlson has said a number of times now that it is very possible, and is actually saying it is likely; indeed, unavoidable. Carlson's biting sarcasm is excellent and I recommend the video for that alone. But at 4:30 in, he says this act of blowing up the pipelines, perpetrated by the Biden Administration, leaves us no off ramp to avoid total war with Russia. "There's no off ramp now, no way out. We are all in, no matter what that means, no matter where it goes."

That's probably true, but maybe not.

Faddis, in his essay, demands de-escalation. The old CIA hand minces no words about the absolute necessity of de-escalation. But of course, Obama or Victoria Nuland (or whoever is running the show) want escalation, not de-escalation. They are FINALLY where they want to be, in a position they've been lusting for and they're not going to give it up. They are the lords of life and death, Sauron come again. They're either monumentally stupid or hand-in-glove with the WEF and the like, whose ogres lust for a nuke war to wipe a large chunk of the human population. THEY'LL be safe in their bunkers in Switzerland, they think. Maybe. And maybe the world's survivors might dispatch them without compunction.

This war was planned years ago

I hope you all realize that had the Hag, Hillary Clinton, been elected in 2016, we'd have had this war four years ago or five. She would have produced bogus "evidence" that Putin tried to elect Trump and pushed it till it exploded. These people are sick. They are demented in the diabolical sense of being possessed or under demonic oppression. They'll do whatever they are told. And China is telling them how to behave, since they intend to benefit from the Fall of Europe and the West. Our government is in the hands of orcs, as one blogger put it. (Where there's a whip, there's a way.) And of course, the Democrats need a war before November. It's the oldest play in their book.

Perhaps I'm crazy, but I think old Colonel Douglas MacGregor is closer to the mark here in this interview. He says the Germans are unanimous in not wanting war with Russia. In fact, in all of Europe, only Poland wants war with Russia, he asserts, and a few people in Washington, D.C. MacGregor says that should Biden try to go to a full war such as Carlson predicts and Faddis fears, NATO will break into pieces. To put it simply: a war like that is NOT why they joined into NATO! "What?! You mean you want us to actually fight?!"

Living here in Europe, I think that's true. The last thing the Euros want is a WWII-style war, let alone a WWIII. Going nuclear also terrifies them, of course, in an "icing on the cake" way; large numbers of Russian men are trying to flee their country for the same reason. Only Poland is straining at the bit, and their hatred of Russia and Russians goes back far beyond WWII or WWI. And are the Americans going to fight it by themselves? Of course the American military is a disaster area, crushed by political correctness, "wokeness", trannies, and Satan knows what else. The vaccine "mandates" alone have gutted the services: they are all short of pilots and sailors and real soldiers. See Gateway Pundit for details. (Look at the picture of the current recruits!) Besides all that, we've emptied our war wallet and our armories to supply Ukraine since February. What weapons are we going to be using? That's how idiotic our "leaders" are!

MacGregor also points out what Faddis does not; i.e. that until now, the Russians in Ukraine have been few, relatively speaking. There's been more (or there was more) Ukrainians in arms against them. Now, I believe the Ukraine's recent offensives that the Western media keeps blathering about are not what the media says they are. These attacks are manned and managed by the CIA and mercenaries. Conversely, Putin has consolidated his Ukrainian holdings and if the Ukrainian government doesn't back down – and they can't because the pathetic little Ukrainian dictatorship stands totally in thrall to the American regime – Putin can pour in a lot more soldiers after performing an American military-style "Shock-and-Awe" attack. Russia remains capable of bombing Ukrainian targets with conventional weaponry to a horrific level; they can destroy Ukrainian infrastructure like the U.S. did in Iraq. Then pour in what reserves the Russians have. Why nuke? And should that mean taking all Ukraine, why not?

So, what if Putin tries this "full-on" American-style scenario, or even used a "tactical nuke" in a specific spot? The United States of America has a demoralized, literally hen-pecked military and NO ACTUAL elected political leadership. And we're out of conventional ammunition. Should Putin go "shock-and-awe", I think the bigshots of the Biden Regime would wet their diapers and bend over and grab their ankles. They're counting on Putin to be bluffing and to be out of mojo. Maybe. Or he might just be playing rope-a-dope.

Do we really want to find out?

As I and so many others keep saying: PRAY!

Michaelmas and the doom of nuclear war...

 Amici,

As World War III looms over us – yes, a nuclear World War III – perhaps it is good to remember that today is Michaelmas, as those of us of the Old Rite still celebrate it. It's been a Church Feast for the Warrior Archangel since the 500s, as The Feast of the Dedication of Saint Michael the Archangel, originally a feast celebrating the dedication of a basilica in St. Michael's name. That church itself is long gone, as is another famous St. Michael-dedicated church, the Michaelion, fabulous basilica in Constantinople, demolished to make a fortress as the Turks closed in (St. Michael is not unused to war, is he?). But the feast remains in the West (the West that's not Protestant nor Bergoglian False Church). In the Roman Church, it stood listed as a holy day of obligation from 1234. That obligation was removed in the 18th century. The post Vatican II iconoclasm swept the feast away completely, replacing it with a hodgepodge "feast" for all three archangels. (Yet another Spirit of Vatican II iconoclasm.)

But today, the illegitimate American political regime is pushing for war with Russia. Sam Faddis has the details here. Somehow, the both evil and insane "Powers-that-Be" in the American Security State, the colloquially termed "Deep State" that Eisenhower once warned us about, have decided for war with Russia, even as the American "leaders" are Chinese puppets. When Trump was elected, the Deep State cried it up that he only got into office via help from Putin. They poisoned whatever means had existed for the U.S. and Russia to get along, and they continued – since that anti-Christ Obama's terms in office – to dig themselves deeper into the Ukraine. Now, clearly, they are saying they will not give up Ukraine to be a neutral buffer state (that conditition has not hurt Austria or Sweden or Switzerland) between the West and Russia. Russia gears up for war even as Russian men flee conscription. They're "voting with their feet" in Comrade Lenin's phrase. But Russia has weapons Lenin never dreamed of. To "win", he has only a button to push. (If you call Armageddon winning.)

From the Biden Regime's narcissistic perspective, now is the time to strike. A war often raises support at home for the current government, for one thing. For another, the Democrats are headed for a disastrous Cannae-scale political crash on November 8. The Deep Staters, mostly "war hawks" and promoters of international strife, can't fathom that American are sick to death fighting wars in all the world's corners. They're too "diabolically narcissistic", as Ann Barnhardt says, to have any sense. They foolishly want to fight now on Russia's doorstep, indeed, in it's entry hallway. Russian conscripts may flee, but the American military is depleted in both weapons and morale. It's personnel have been guted by the Biden Regime's crazy Covid decrees. Yet the wealth of Ukraine (and even Russia, if they collapse that government) entices them onward.

So, therefore, pray to St. Michael (after you get yourself to confession) that this war is somehow averted. Unless, of course, it is God's will to eradicate our wretched selves. See this about drag queens in school and little girls, if you can stomach it, for proof of how depraved we've become.

Iran in revolution; Putin and the Ukraine war...

Friends,

The "world in ferment" keeps heading for a meltdown – and no, not a global warming meltdown except in Western nations that remain in thrall to that absolute fraud of frauds: Climate Change.

• Just say no to Climate Change. Say no to Covid. Say no to the 100+ year fraud of virology. Say no to a host of manufactured crises that they keep springing on us.

There's much chatter about the coming "Climate Change Lockdowns" but I suspect that might be the stick to break the camel's back of people's tolerance of this WEF/2030/New World Order fetid putridity. 

Speaking of camels, something interesting seems afoot in old Iran, that Indo-European outpost athwart the Mideast:

Iran

Iran is in extreme ferment after the government "morality police" thugs killed Mahsa Amini, a 22-year-old Kurdish woman, on Sept. 16, for not wearing a hijab Muslim hair garment. The Iranian people seem to have had enough. (Until at least the "government" starts shooting them en masse.) The pointless murder might be the flip of the switch that sends that particular Islamic regime straight to Muhammad's hell, where jinn amuse themselves by pouring molten iron down the throats of the damned.

The Jerusalem Post has details: Iran protests: Casualties rise amid gov't crackdown;

At least 17 casualties were reported as protests spread to over 80 cities across Iran. See also Amnesty. 

Putin and the Ukrainian War

Meanwhile, Russia has slowed or stopped the recent Ukrainian offensive in part by the simple expedient of liquidating Western mercenaries. It's no fun being a merc and have yourself bullet-kicked straight into Hell, is it? (A true merc, fighting solely for money and the adrenaline kick, probably won't get to sing in the Courts of the Prince of Peace, would he? One wouldn't think so.)

From the link above:

• Russian news site Lenta claims Russia has eliminated mercenaries fighting for US Private Military Company (PMC) Academi (former Blackwater) and “Kraken” irregulars attached to the far-right Azov Regiment in the Kherson offensive (Gateway Pundit reported). If true, this may explain why the Ukrainian counteroffensive seems to have stalled. The strikes were announced by Russian Ministry of Defense spokesman, Lieutenant General Igor Konashenkov...

Meanwhile, as Tucker Carlson reports (he's been outstanding lately, even I, jaded corvine that I am, must admit), that the Western Powers, esp the U.S., seem insanely pushing for nuclear war.

 

As Tucker says, the U.S. could stop the war tonight by dropping funding to the Ukrainians. Yes, that would allow Putin a "win" but then the West guaranteed itself a loss from the beginning. The Western "leaders" maneuvered themselves into defeat by their stubborn and stupid decisions before the war – i.e. they were as smugly stupid about thinking Putin would never invade as they thought he'd never turn off their oil and gas. All Putin had to do was call their bluff and invade – invade with the intention to win – and the West had then to necessarily look idiotic unless they truly pushed for an actual nuclear war, which is what Tucker Carlson says they seem to be doing. In other words, they're still stupid.

We must throw these idiots out of our governments, route them out entirely. I'm praying Italy on Sunday follows Sweden's lead.

Reflections on the Ukrainian War and the Fates of the U.S. and Russia

Amici,

The saddest thing about this war, aside from the casualties on all sides, is that there's no "Good Guys" to root for (see below for a consideration of the Ukrainian government), but the most distressing thing about this war is how our "side" in the West is demonizing Putin and the Russians. The U.S. has invaded all sorts of countries and overthrown all sorts of governments since World War II (before that, we did such mostly in Central America and the Caribbean). Yet despite all that, our cultural betters and MSM 'bots ('bots = robots) demonize any naysayers to our government's official 'narrative'. And before this war, they demonized anyone who didn't buy wholly into the fraudulent George Floyd-Black Lives Matters lies, and then they demonized anyone who didn't wholly swallow (hook, line, and sinker) the faux Covid "narrative".

Now they're doing the same to Col. Douglas MacGregor and Tucker Carlson and anyone who doesn't buy into the "narrative" about the Ukrainian War. Enough of the demonization! There are enough real demons all over the place! See: Mary's Role in Spiritual Warfare | Fr Chad Ripperger [2022] and Fr Chad Ripperger on his new book 'Dominion' | [@TheTerryandJesseShow].

Aside from damning certain American politicians (Mitch McConnell and the RINOs) I refuse to tolerate demonization. It is poisoning our civil society so that the only alternative is brutal, no-holds-barred survival fighting. Pure evil. And naturally the actual demons want that!

Other than that, some observations:

From what I read, and it isn't from the MainStream Media, is that the Poland-MIGS-to-Ukraine idea is flat out, absolutely insane – and suicidal to boot. This action would have created a true casus belli for Russia and the planes would not have "helped" in any event. (That's because Russia has not remotely unleashed it full Air Force.) We ought to be trying to stabilize the situation, anyway, not destabilize it. But our governments in the West are either trying to destabilize or profit off of this mess.

I came across this article, which seems to me to be pretty sound and commonsense, at American Thinker.

An excerpt:

Zelensky could end this in two hours if he wanted. Instead, he seems to have developed a Churchill complex. He's begging for money and arms, which will prolong the bloodshed. No one is reporting the billions in medicines, foodstuff, and other aid the Russians are shipping into Ukraine.

AnP again: about the U.S. and the MIGS fiasco

The essence of this airplane mess is that U.S. Secretary of State, Anthony Blinken, a fool, a poltroon, an imbecile, (i.e. not a "demon" but a knave) tried to do a "Hillary", i.e. repeat what she did with the then French president to pry Obama into attacking Libya. Remember Libya? Anyone? 

Excerpt:

This dueling scenario was not, and is not, a fracture within NATO. What surfaced in the insanity is a fracture within the United States government as an outcome of a rogue U.S. State Department led by Secretary Anthony Blinken.

This rogue U.S. State Department now represents a key reference point, but the U.S. media will not discuss it. This is another example of how the Fourth Branch of Government, a completely independent national security system, is operating.

A strong previous example is evident in the U.S. response to Libya, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wanted war with Kaddaffi, but President Obama was not originally in agreement. Clinton sought help from French President Nicolas Sarkozy because President Obama was not on board.

At the beginning of Hillary’s Libya operation, Joint Chiefs Admiral McMullin and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were not on board with Hillary’s intervention plans, nor was Turkish President Recep Erdogan.  Secretary Clinton worked around the refusals by unilaterally going to the United Nations and NATO Supreme Commander General Stravridis. Eventually, Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power created enough international momentum to force President Obama to intervene in Libya. The rest is history.

(And yes, Hillary is pretty darned demonic.)

AnP again:

Thanks be to God that Poland, P.O.L.A.N.D! once again saved the West from utter catastrophe. It must truly be a blessed nation.

An almost final word about those Polish MIGS:

• Putin always controlled the skies and these couple of dozen updated but essentially out-of-date MIGS, etc. would have been burned out of the skies the moment they appeared. They would have made NO difference, except to encourage Putin to unleash his massive Air Force. I think it is unrealistic in the extreme to say we could "fool" Putin's military into not seeing just where these planes came from and who got them there. Thus, I am in no way surprised the Pentagon denounced this as soon as they could. The Department of Defense is an absolute mess and what they've done to our military is criminal, but at least they won't go along with the State Department!
  

Also, finally, about those Polish planes, "thedoc00" in the Comments to the above article at The Conservative Treehouse writes:

Poland already has 3-4 squadrons of F-16’s and those Mig-29’s were about 30 left overs from Poland’s Warsaw Pact days. The Polish Aerospace Company PLZ was struggling to maintain them and the avionics were not compatible with NATO. Those plane’s were being transitioned out of the Polish air force, to be replaced by F-16’s or better. Poland does not have a lot money, so it was likely F-16’s. Other Warsaw Pact nations were doing or had done the same.

Note that the Polish Army and even the German Army still has units equipped with Russian Tanks and other armored vehicles.

The Ukraine is in the same boat and somebody in DoD or State Department was smart enough to notice that Poland and Ukraine both had on inventory the very SAME Russian equipment …. Blinken the Blind was equipped with this knowledge and launched on this dangerous gambit.

AnP again:

In other words, sending those old MIGS to Ukraine stood to be as stupid a ploy as sending Brewster Buffaloes and Devastator torpedo planes against the crack Japanese pilots of the First Air Fleet at Midway. (All the planes and almost all the American pilots were slaughtered.) Don't we EVER learn from history?

So what do we do for the Ukraine?

As for Ukraine, cut if off. That sounds "heartless" and "cruel" but I'm not "romantic" about World War; who could be? Imperial Russia should have cut off Serbia in 1914 because World War I was not worth Serbia. Simple. Cruel to say it, maybe, but necessary. That first world war killed and wounded about 40 million. (Maybe Tsar Nicolas thought about that as he and his family were all shot to death in a basement?) Almost all the dead were Europeans. It nearly destroyed – maybe it did – Western Civilization. Serbia, I'm sorry, but this is true, was not worth all that. Sometimes a war is worth fighting; I think Korea was, but Vietnam wasn't. It's a gamble, always. China will throw the dice and try to take Taiwan, most likely, but that is a massive gamble. Taiwan is a continental landmass: i.e. it is large and chock-full of mountains. Admirals Nimitz and King wanted to invade it in WWII, but Douglas MacArthur talked them out of it.

Second to that, (The) Ukraine (we're not supposed to use the "The" because "The Ukraine" means "The Border", and that indicates the dodgy "nationhood" of that contested "border-land") has been the cesspool of absolute U.S. government and Ukrainian corruption for decades, with its "leaders" drowned to the gills in U.S. taxpayer money in off-shore accounts, and that includes Zalenskyy. This new "Ukrainian aid" bill McConnell is pushing through Congress ("Cocaine Mitch" is a wretched POS if ever there was one, and I think he is true traitor to the U.S.; so yes, I do demonize Mitch), is going to pay-off the Ukrainian government thieves again, and Biden and Family/Friends, also. Not to mention McConnell & Co. as well. But we can't stop it because we do not control our government!

The Ukrainian Government

(The oddest thing about the following is it is true.) This current Ukrainian government consists of a bunch of comedy writers and has-been entertainment types who are feverishly promoting homosexuality and the hellish sex-change dogma and the rest of our dying culture's carnal psychosis. Never forget that the Democrat Party leaders are often sexual exploiters (Biden is exhibit A; his surviving son exhibit B) and one of the major reasons Democrats and Leftists won't control our border with Mexico is they're getting sex slaves from there. Ukraine is a major hub of sex-exploitation and sex slaves – never forget that. I remember reading years ago about Cyprus, how the culture on the island was ruined by "Russian" prostitutes flooding the place. Cyprus! That was YEARS ago! We seem to be helpless before this brutal carnal carnival of evil that is rotting the guts out from our Western world: our lusts are eviscerating our culture, and in the U.S., we can't stop the deviants pushing homosexuality and sex-change even in our grade schools! Look at the pressure DeSantis is under for trying to stop this diabolical sex-perversion propaganda – it's actually called 'grooming' – in Florida schools K-3! C'mon on! K-3! And all because the "Frankfurt School" of Communist ideologues back in the 1920s decided to destroy our culture from with via sexual license and perversion. Seems to have worked.

• Zalenskyy and his Friends of Zelenskyy are the same sick types, and ironically he and his crew came in as "reformers" who were going to fight "corruption" and did nothing of the sort. The whole thing is a grotesque joke. In fact, I would insist Zalenskyy and his government – which you know has locked up his political opposition and instituted censorship (Putin has too, but we're doing the very same in the U.S.!) – so how is Zalenskyy any better? At least Putin pretends (if it is pretense) to support the Church and Orthodox Christian morality (something he doesn't live himself in his private life, to be sure, but I'll take what I can get).

War Estimates (Ukraine has already lost)

As for this war, it was over before it began.

1. Sun Tzu would have told them to make the "Estimates" and see whether there was a chance to fight off what is the third largest military in the world (I assume) after China and the U.S. Japan should have done this rational estimates procedure in 1941 but didn't.
   
2. History is full of examples. I've mentioned Japan, but also Ireland, Scotland, Poland in the 18th century, the Southern Confederacy, and so on.
   
3. Exceptions: The American Revolution worked because A. the distances and terrain involved; the Brits could not surround and cut of the Patriots they way they did in Ireland or Putin is doing in the Ukraine; B. that the British rulers didn't really have their hearts in it (read up on the Howe brothers, Richard and William), and C. of course the Royal French Navy. The Vietnam War we lost because Vietnam was backed by its connection to the landmass of Asia and its allies replenished their supplies, and also our rules of engagement limited what we could do. Or consider Afghanistan: much the same. So, what exceptions exist tend to prove the rule.
   
4. For flat, fertile, and bordering-on-Russia Ukraine, however, it was never a contest, but what exists now is endless lies and propaganda about the Ukrainians beating the Russians. Our MSM news media is in full propaganda mode, and anyone not pushing the "narrative" gets "cancelled" (they've tried to do that with Col. MacGregor, to mention one example again). On the ground, Putin has been going slow to try to save lives, something the Ukrainian Regime is not trying to do.

Otherwise, read also St. Luke 14:31-32 for an exactly Sun Tzu-type parallel expressed by Our Lord himself:

31Or what king on his way to war with another king will not first sit down and consider whether he can engage with ten thousand men the one coming against him with twenty thousand? 32 And if he is unable, he will send a delegation while the other king is still far off, to ask for terms of peace.… 

Right now, the Ukrainian army has collapsed and has "gone to ground" among the civilian population, whom it is using as human shields. Indeed, Zalenskyy has imported a few hundred Al-Qaeda terrorists! (Not to mention the CIA flooding Ukraine with mercenaries.) But all these tactics can do is slaughter more people. Considering what Putin has said he wants to stop the war, most of the demands being fait accompli according to the situation on the ground, it is madness to continue. I mean, if one values human life.

And no, I don't believe Putin is trying to recreate the Russian or Soviet empires. If that was the game, he's had Clinton, Bush II, and Obama to maneuver against in major ways, but he hasn't. He's given a lot of interviews and seems honestly animated about the steady approach of NATO to his borders, of course, and Russia has been invaded by not only the East but the West, by Germany (twice in the 20th century) and by Napoleon in the early 19th century, and before that by both Sweden and Poland. (Ever hear of the Great Northern War?) Putin is a thug, in the "strong man" tradition of Russian rulers (and Byzantine and Ancient Roman rulers) yet he has let the situation in the Ukraine go on for decades, the last eight years of which the Ukrainians have been shelling their fellow Ukrainians in the Donbas (the Russian sometimes shell back, but not nearly as much as the Ukrainians do). During the feckless Obama administration, Putin could have invaded in 2014 when Obama (or the Deep State without him) overthrew the Ukrainian government. Or if Putin and Obama were in cahoots, he could have just walked over Ukraine. Didn't happen. Putin finally invaded only days after when that literal "ho" Kamala Harris, went to Germany and openly declared U.S. support for Ukraine joining NATO. 

Thug, murderer, adulterer, all that, but at least Putin isn't destroying his country like the Biden Regime is, or Bergoglio has destroyed the Vatican II Church. Maybe, ultimately, Putin is a World Economic Forum plant, but so is a good portion of the U.S. government. There's a lot wrong with the world, and I'm afraid we're all damned to live in a 'Big Brother' type of George Orwell nightmare. But Poland bought us some time and saved us from a true conflagration. And thank God for that.

Extremely important Tucker Carlson opening: must see about Biden's Ukraine lies

Amici, friends,

More crazy news about Ukraine, and most of it we cannot believe. To go against "the narrative" the MSM and the Biden Regime are promoting can lead to one's "cancellation." Tucker Carlson must be therefore angling for Fox News to fire him. He really lambasted the Mainstream Media and the Biden Administration, and the Republican big shots, too, here. Tucker is all monologue here, and he is scalding. (The guy must have kids; he does, of course.) This is the proverbial "must see" video. (And also see Carlson's interview with Colonel Douglas MacGregor here. This will also get Carlson fired. After all, if they fired Lou Dobbs, they'll fire Carlson.) 

One Nota Bene: since Carlson's segments ran last night, so far as I understand it, the Polish government has put a stop to the insane U.S. idea of "gun-running" fighter jets from Poland to Ukraine. Either they were going to and quickly backed out, or the Biden Regime was out-and-out lying. (What else is new?) If that is true, thank God; we might avert a world war yet. It seems the Europeans are going to have to get tough with the reckless Biden regime, one way or another. At least, if the Euros want to continue living. Otherwise, they're going to have a full-scale war in Europe, brought on (so strange to write this!) by Americans. What do they want war for? Wipe out Europe, so it is like it was in May, 1945? Or what? Or is Ann Barnhardt right, and this is the Sodomite revenge on what remains of Christian Europe? And if that sounds "tin-foil hat country, look at these pics. (Zelensky is full abortion, full deviant rights, etc. At this point, my friends, I'm willing to believe anything.)

Carlson brought up a number of essential things, and one of them is food production, but a great article on the upcoming mass famine is here, a Mike Adams article: https://uncanceled.news/global-crop-collapse-now-a-certainty/.

Mainly, Carlson talked about the warmongers' moralisms. I'm beyond repulsed over the faux moral outrage about Ukraine being invaded. Drop the moral outrage, MainStreamMedia, drop the phony pity, American government. It's total hypocrisy. They treat the actual Ukrainian people no better than they treat their own!

And Carlson asks if war is so outrageous for them, why don't we read anything about the war in Yemen or the one in Ethiopia, or the 100,000 killed in Mexico over the drug cartel wars. (In contrast, 50,000-plus Americans were killed in the over-a-decade involvement in the Vietnam war. Mexico is a slaughterhouse.) And other "regional conflicts" exist just as brutal, right now, going on today. We never hear about those. But because Biden and Friends of Biden and corrupt American politicians like the Obamas and the Clintons (the latter have shamelessly restarted their "foundation"), and the RINOs and various business people have an apparently bottomless money pit well gushing dollars from Ukraine into their pockets, we only hear about the Ukraine.

Carlson asks, isn't anyone paying attention? Biden is getting NO push back. Biden apparently and the people who run him, i.e. Democrat, Republican, Deep State, World Economic Forum leadership grads –  for them, it's a Globalist World – so, these people want war. It'll will reduce world population and liquidate the nation-state. But if we crash the Russian economy, stop their exports of food and fertilizer – we will DESTROY THE WORLD. Hundreds of millions might starve, even if no missile is ever fired. In revenge, the Russians will just send both food and fertilizer to China and Iran, and open new markets in other parts of the world, because, or so I've heard it said, people need to eat.

Another Note Bene: some say Putin wants to conquer all of Ukraine, but that's not his stated terms for stopping the war. He could very well be lying, but what, do we continue the slaughter rather than find out? Others say that Russia will never give up Kiev, birthplace of Russian Orthodoxy. Maybe. Still others say that by hook or by crook: total conquest or "Findlandizing" Ukraine, he wants the wonderfully fertile soil of that region. It is as important a breadbasket for the world as is the mid-western U.S./Canada states/provinces. But then Mother Russia herself, as it is, remains a major world foodstuff exporter. And of course Putin sits on incredible oil and gas reserves. So, whatever. Time will tell.

America

But what IS it with the Biden Regime? Is the American government both trying to start a world war and also bankrupt the West – or as much as the world that doesn't go along with this insanity? Already the price of urea fertilizer in the U.S. has gone from $200-something a ton last year to $800 this year. We are all going to starve, thanks to the Deep State. Of course, the Bottom Line almost certain is the World Economic Forum wants to use all this to create a One World Government/Great Reset wherein we're all slaves. But as those people are not elected, we've no way to remove them from "office" (which they don't bother to have). Then again, America's leaders are fraudulently elected, and we can't remove them.

As Carlson says, the American government should be trying to de-escalate this war, but instead we're trying to escalate it. We could STOP this stupid war by stopping all plans of bringing Ukraine NATO or the EU. Simple. Putin only invaded right Ukraine after Kamala Harris, the Hetaira to Priapusian Democrat big shots (well, more a street-corner drachma type), when visiting Germany a fortnight ago, openly encouraged Ukraine to join NATO. This is true. Check the timeline. Putin invaded just days later. And he's warned for at least a decade or more that he would act in just this way were the West to try to get Ukraine into NATO/EU.

Moralizing Idiocy

And enough of this damned "Moral Panicking" shtick. First it was BLM and then Covid for the sake of which we were supposed to be morally outraged for – and in both cases, anyone and everyone who questioned the "narrative" was silenced, deplatformed, made "unpersons", etc. But almost none of the bull excrement propaganda narratives about either of these absolute fiascos were true, and now the new moral panic is "Russia, Russia!" So the solution is crashing the world economy and destroying the dollar and plunging the world into destruction like we didn't see even in the Great Depression!

And all for...hypocrisy, in spades

WHY? Because Putin wants Ukraine to be a neutral buffer state? Jack Kennedy nearly plunged the world into Nuclear War in 1962 because Khrushchev put missiles into Cuba. How is Putin's demand any different? One does NOT have to be "pro-Putin" or a "Putin puppet" to see Russia's point here. One does not have to condone Russia's actions to see that if Jack Kennedy had a point, so does Russia. Putin's issued his terms on what Russia wants from Ukraine to stop fighting, and they are fait accompli: mainly simply that Ukraine be formally politically and militarily neutral. (And formally recognize the Crimea as Russian and those two new "republics" Putin has declared are to remain, with the unstated desire of course for the Ukraine to be Putin's client state.) So...

STOP THE DAMNED INSANITY.

Oh, wait, we no longer have representative government. Our votes are useless. Our will is ignored, and our sovereignty vanished. We're slaves already.

We apparently missed the memo.

As "Jerm Warfare" writes:

"Naturally, those who know nothing about Ukraine's politics and history, are the ones with a Ukrainian flag on their Facebook profile. They're also the same ones who tell others to get the jab.

"It's not about understanding anything. It's about signalling one's virtue. Displaying one's superior sense of morality to the world. Following the herd and looking like a good person. Being woke while simultaneously being asleep.

"In other words, like former KGB operative Yuri Bezmenov warned about during the 1980s in an incredible interview, the West's cultural Marxist shallowness will lead to its own demise."

Fatima and Sliding into Chaos: Senator calls on assassination of Putin and NATO cranks up operations

 Amici,

First, let's remember Fatima and the prophecy given then, in 1917. Here is Bishop Strickland's tweet:

Maybe the U.S. Trucker convoy, 70 miles long, might get our evil leaders' attention.

Well, well, all this nightmare, and for what? Money and sex, what else? Ukraine is certainly a cash cow that Western Big Shots don't want to lose, and a flesh market for human trafficking for the sexually depraved. It must be, since the unelected, "installed" western governments are so close to pushing us into World War, the Third Edition, over it.

Why do I write this? "Aunt" Lindsey Graham, a supposedly conservative U.S. senator but basically a neo-conservative Deep State apparatchik "war-hawk", is calling for Putin's assassination, as reported on here at The Conservative Treehouse. That is so grotesquely contrary to ANYTHING a senator should be saying.

Graham also called the January 6 protestors terrorists and wants them locked up with the keys thrown away. He is the sort of perverted cesspool drudge the Republican "RINOs" have an endless supply of. Yet you can't help but wonder, with high American officials making comments like these, that Graham and the other evil Republicans in Congress, Mitch McConnell and friends, especially those on the Senate Intelligence Committee, would not hesitate to get the "government's mafia", the CIA, to assassinate Trump, if he runs again, or is elected Speaker of the House. Put nothing past them. After all, they're trying their best to whip up an actual world war right now.

As many bloggers have pointed out, no matter what happens, we will never know the actual amount bribes and graft people like Graham and other "neo-cons" have taken from the "Military-Industrial Complex". Democrats too, of course. Biden himself is merely the tip of the proverbial mountain. It is galling that these bastards, these "right bastards" are now lobbying for Communist China and that country's military-industrial complex.

But think about this: we are supposedly buying 100s of 1000s of barrels of oil from Putin, with the U.S. government flatly refusing to open the Keystone pipeline from Alberta that Biden closed down ON HIS FIRST DAY in office, yet we're also calling on Putin's assassination? Is this all theater, or what? Putin has World Economic Forum connections, as well. Just what is going on? Are we actually as insanely dishonest, treacherous, and conniving as all of that? For you who doubt that, for you who suspect I've gone over into tin-foil hat territory, I have one word, just one: Covid.

Finally, read this article on how NATO seems to be cranking up the pressure toward starting a European-wide war here. This is the extreme pro-Putin side, of course, but use it to balance what you're hearing in most of the Western media. It has a lot of shocking data, like the current head of NATO "retiring" soon to head Norway's Central Bank – showing how intertwined these swine are, you know, like the FDA/CDC and Big Pharma!

Bottom Line

At this point, I honestly cannot say NATO (and the U.S. Deep State) isn't fully, intentionally, trying to start a world conflagration. Just as our Western insistence on bringing Ukraine into NATO and the EU's orbit finally prompted the Russians to attack, so insisting on supplying the Ukrainians with weapons gives Putin the excuse to attack Ukraine's western borders, and that might kill some NATO military personnel. NATO maybe be a "paper tiger" in many ways, but it is not exactly unarmed. And Poland has a strong army, as does France, so in theory they could give the Russians a strong conventional war fight, especially if Whoever-Runs-the US-government throws American military assets in.

With that potential threat, no matter how unlikely we might think of the French hopping Germany to fight manfully side-by-side with the Poles, it does put Putin in kind of in a bind. No wonder he has been talking up nukes. In Putin's calculations, tactical nukes would definitely be an option in this context, based on the idea that the West has absolutely NO will to use to "go nuclear" in return. So, we've no way of knowing how this might go.

Ultimately, though, I think the Treehouse's Sundance is right when he references the absolutely totalitarian governments we've developed in the West during Covid. We need the BRICS to step up to counter-balance this new and abysmal West. (BRICS: Brazil, Russia, India, China – well, no, we don't need Communist China – and South Africa)

So thanks, Putrid Lindsey and the RINO neo-cons for pushing us to the verge of Armageddon. Thanks all the American Deep State for ditching the internationally cautious Donald Trump. Thanks to the George Soros-World Economic Forum and the "Deep State" of the western world, too, and let's not leave out the popes since Benedict XV for not consecrating Russia. Thanks to all of you for foisting war upon us.

All I can say is, pray, and get to Confession while you have the chance.

Is Russia's invasion a poked Bear's reaction to Globalism?

Friends,

Sad day (and days coming) for folks residing in Ukraine. A lot of people, civilian and military, will die. How many depends on how this develops. If the Ukraine government collapses quickly enough, maybe not too many. Or perhaps Putin will go so far west, and no further. We've no clue. It is doubtful the Europeans will fight at all. The chief German general, Alfons Mais, says the German army's ability to help is "extremely limited". “The Bundeswehr, the army that I am privileged to lead, is more or less bare. The options that we can offer the politicians to support the alliance are extremely limited,” Mais wrote in a Linkedin post on Thursday morning. Mais has bitterly complained of Angela Merkel's military financial policies, and we need to remember Merkel was one of the first graduates of Klaus Schwab's "Leadership School", along with Bill Gates. Hmmm...

 So, we'll see.

We know that Putin has sent his army in, he has sent his missiles in, and he has sent his navy in and already there are (Russian) reports of Ukrainian troops defecting in mass, and non-Russian reports of the speaker of the Ukrainian Parliament fleeing with his family and video of thousands fleeing toward Poland. I'm sure the Ukrainian border area with Hungary, a border populated largely by ethnic Hungarians, will be soon flooded with refugees. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has introduced martial law and told his people to remain calm (yeah, right).

As we wait for whoever runs the Biden Administration to act, or not, as the case may be (Biden is picking his teeth over it, as you can see here. 

Commentators and pundits will be flooding those interested with all sorts of information over the next long bit, but I'll just ask two questions:

1. Will this finally kill Covid?
2. Is this invasion – at least in part – a reaction to the Western World's conquest by Globalism? I.e. Has Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, et al, finally kindled a reaction?

I don't know, but I suspect the answers to both 1 and 2 are 'Yes'.

First, of course, I must say Putin is a classic bully, and bullies beat up on the weak. Biden et al are utterly weak: Biden (those who run him) have gutted the U.S. military with Wokeism and Covid jabs. This is because the Left in general (exhibit A: Wokeism) is effeminate; it is NOT manly, and the Russians would run roughshod over our Transsexual/Gay/etc. military like the Romans overran the Greeks. Our entire military is in serious disarray, as the Afghanistan debacle showed, so the world's bullies act. We can be sure China will now invade Taiwan. And this video shows then-President Trump in 2018 berating the Europeans for not arming themselves and for coddling Putin. Trump was indeed quite right; he was right a lot of the time, in fact.

But regarding my two queries, there's truth in both of them, as well.

Nothing like a war, a real war, to shake the somnolent awake, for one thing, and for another, the Western World is basically run by BlackRock (the world's largest asset/money manager) and another whose name I forget. They, and a few other such, mostly banks of various kinds who prop up the world's monetary system (itself all fluff and mirrors and hopeless debt), stand behind a doofus like Klaus Schwab or Bill Gates and their eugenics programs (Covid is just a eugenics program) and they direct the major world corporations, as well, more or less. Schwab in turn runs a horde of local national politicians. Take the case of Canada and Justin Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland. These two, no doubt at the bankers' requests, have rescinded their Emergency Act, something that kneecaps all those helpless Liberal and NDP politicians who had just voted for it! Trudeau has made himself utterly putrid, now not only to the Canadian Right, but the Left, as well. He'll be gone in days. But he was following Schwab's orders.

In such a world, the people of actual countries, like Russia, Poland, France, the UK or US, etc., are just puppets for the most part in terms of their governments' independence. Their politicians are "bought and sold" by foreigners and ultimately do the bidding of this "Big Bosses", the behind-the-scenes guys (Soros is a small fry compared to them). China seems to be in the mix with the big shots (Schwab's son is married to a Chinese and lives in Beijing, for example) in an oddly vectored way, and Russia has recently tried to make alliance with China, but China is nobody's friend. China is not even China's friend! 

So, yes, Russia's invasion of the absolute Globalist puppet state of Ukraine is in part a response to this situation, just as the U.S., under whoever actually runs the Biden Regime (Globalists, to be sure), does what it does under the Globalists' orders. That's why the U.S. would not assuage Russia's fears of the Ukraine entering NATO, or in some other way being used against Russia. The Globalists want that. Badly. Biden clearly did the Globalists' bidding, all right. 

Thus, we'll see how this plays out. Wars have a tendency to get out of control. The American Civil War did. World War I did, infamously. World War II was an Outsiders attack on the Global system of the day, but the Globalists used the Allied victory to prevent that sort of thing from happening again. In general, wars are usually fought for limited aims but mostly never stay strictly in those limits.

So, we'll just have to see. But at least, I think, the whole Covid farce is done. An actual war on the European continent is just too big a thing to ignore, whether it keeps within the corral or breaks out.
