Bishop Torres in Puerto Rico gets dosed by Bergoglian "mercy"

Friends,

Father Hunwicke discusses the story from Puerto Rico about Bishop Torres given the boot by Bergoglio, and that "Bergi" did that out of proper channels. 

Father Hunwicke wrote, in part:

As Bishop Torres has said: "A successor of the apostles is now being replaced without even undertaking what would be due canonical process to remove a parish priest." Indeed so. I am continually irritated by repetition of the platitude that Vatican II enhanced the status of the episcopate, when simultaneously steps are taken diminishing the powers of diocesan bishops. Traditionis custodes sinned shamelessly in this way. 'Subsidiarity' and 'Parrhesia' may be favoured rhetoric, but they are far from being accepted praxis.

Perhaps we remember here the strong language rightly used publicly by Cardinal Mueller when three of his operatives in the CDF were dismissed without process by PF: H E pointed out that this was not how any organisation should treat its employees. Bergoglian 'Mercy' is less truly merciful than recognised 'good practice' within secular business systems.

Torres was asked 'informally' by the Nuncio to resign. This sort of way of doing business is a hall-mark of tyranny ... the sort of thing that goes on, I presume, behind closed doors in banana republics.

Torres was told that he "had not been obedient to the pope nor had I been in sufficient communion with my brother bishops of Puerto Rico." (1) We have here an autocratic model of papacy under which, apparently, a dissent from aspects of current papal policy counts as sackable disobedience to the Roman pontiff. How different this is from the exchanges recorded between Archbishop Errington and Blessed Pius IX, when Errington refused to 'do a favour' to Pio Nono! (2) Torres had been the sole dissentient voice with regard to a certain piece of policy desired by the rest of the Puerto Rico episcopate. Former, wiser, pontiffs set in place a normative provision to the effect that Episcopal Conferences need to be unanimous for their decisions to take effect. This is in accordance with Catholic ecclesiology.

I encourage everyone to read the whole post. It is yet another example of the Catholic Church being run by people who most definitely ought not be in office, or even be clerics of any sort.

Various Historical and Current Issues about Ukraine, Hungary, Poland, etc.

Amici, 

A friend wrote me some questions about the current situation, so I'm presenting here some of my answers.

My amicus asks:

Have you noticed a major influx of Ukrainian refugees in Budapest? If they decide to stay indefinitely, will it be good for Hungary and it’s economy or one, big financial drain?

I've not noticed any, but I only go into Budapest occasionly these days. I'll write more, at length about this below because Hungary and Poland are taking more refugees than the other E.U. countries, and getting roasted for it! And I mean, losing E.U. money. See citizenfreepress here for details.

An excerpt:

In essence, it means that if conservative countries dissent against the liberal European mainstream on how to govern — for example, Hungary’s passing of legislation which prohibited LGBT+ propaganda to be taught in schools or rejects mass immigration — the offending country could be refused access to European funds they are entitled to, Remix explains.

...

    The parliamentary vote means that the European Union has diverted its attention and resources towards sanctioning two of its own members at a time when the wider European continent is in disarray and Russia is seeking to flex its muscles and assert its dominance in Ukraine, Remix comments.
    It also means that the Hungarian and Polish governments must divert their own time and resources to confronting the hostility from Brussels, as both countries seek to contain the humanitarian crisis is unfolding on the European Union’s external border and take in hundreds of thousands of refugees.

AnP again:

In Europe, if a country doesn't support everything Gay, it will be punished. You can imagine what this will mean for Churches and Christian Believers. Bad days are coming.

You also state:

“The 2021 IMF Assessment of the Macroeconomic Impact of structural Reforms in Ukraine estimated Ukraine would need to grow at close to 7 % for 20 years to reach the level of development of Poland today”.

Yes, indeed. EVERYONE knows that if Ukraine joined the E.U., millions of Ukrainians would flood all of E.U. Europe. They wouldn't stay at home, if they could possibly get out.

You ask:

* Does anyone in this Email group seriously think the Ukrainians will be allowed to return back home to their land to rebuild among the rubble, toppled buildings, statues, and scorched earth?

Personally, I suspect this is an "extermination war" run by the WEF and the Western "Deep State" to recreate "the Western World" as a single oppressive world government with no Constitutional rights and only digital currency, not to mention mandating the hedonistic post-'60s sexual morality that is enervating manhood, erasing womanhood (any guy can claim to be a woman now), and sowing sexual identity confusion in the West – that's not a popular thing to say, but history in unequivocal about it. This current war, my friends, is merely the war Hillary would have fought had she been elected in 2016; but because she lost to Trump, the war had to wait till another Democrat idiot puppet was "installed" and that is why the Powers-That-Be spent ALL FOUR YEARS of Trump's presidency demonizing Trump! But since he was clearly going to win in 2020, they repeated their coup d'état they pulled on the legally elected Ukrainian government in 2014. That's the reason CackleCamel-toes Harris launched Putin's invasion by saying the U.S. looked favorably on Ukraine's entry into NATO. Putin invaded days later. 

Let's assume...

But let's assume we somehow avoid this horrible slave-status they've ordained for us, and answer your question about refugees returning to Ukraine.

 

I think some will, but it will depend on a lot. Most importantly, who will be running Ukraine at that time? Russia or otherwise the WEF (World Economic Forum) and the American Deep State? If Russia, then actual Ukrainian Slavs will probably be allowed to return, after being "vetted", checked for past connections and political affiliation. Gay activists will probably be excluded, and Nazis. (Many of the original Nazi leaders were homosexuals, as were the Frankfurter school Communist intellectuals, BTW; political radicals are rarely family men.)

I doubt the Hungarian ethnics will want to go back, or be allowed to, whoever runs Ukraine. They've been treated extremely badly (as have Ukrainian ethnic Russians) since Obama's – well, the American Deep State's – coup d'état in 2014. They'll probably stay in Hungary.

Poland, on the other hand, is likely getting standard Ukrainians, and I don't think Poland will want to keep them. Poland ruled parts of Ukraine, off and on, for centuries, and the Ukrainian city of Lviv used to be Lvov, a wholly Polish city. The region surrounding Lvov was Ukrainian-speaking, but not the city. All those Poles were killed or driven out after World War II. (Pretty much, in 1945-46 the entire eastern half of Poland was forcibly moved to the eastern quarter of Germany, and those Germans living there were forced into what became "East Germany".) But the Hungarian-speaking part of Ukraine had been part of the Hungary proper, historically. So, Ukrainian territory that had Hungarian speakers used to actually belong in the Kingdom of Hungary. All that land is probably lost to ethnic Hungarians.

N.B. An idea of how complicated this situation is:

A huge section of northwestern Romania, actually Transylvania (forget Dracula), actually was part of the Kingdom of Hungary too, and many living there still speak Hungarian and identify themselves as Hungarian. Modern Hungarians have a loving longing for Erdély, as it is known in Magyar, and it remains a sort of a "lost Magyar Shangri-La" to them, stolen by the Western allies who fought the war to prevent what they then imposed on the defeated! Erdély also has the least people per square mile in Europe, I believe, and remains largely forested. It is unique in that after the Turkish conquest of Hungary in 1526, the Turks left Transylvania moderately free as a quasi-independent principality (it's mountainous, also) for centuries whereas they depopulated the central Hungarian flat agricultural lands they had captured. Also, the entire southern third of Slovakia is historically Hungarian, as are sections of what is now northern Serbia (and a narrow slice of eastern Austria: i.e. parts of "Burgenland").

The historical Kingdom of Hungary had various ethnic groups within its borders, and these grew to detest Hungarian rule after the Hungarians and the Austrians created the "Austrian-Hungarian Empire" in the 1860s. ("National identity" began rising in the early 1800s across all of Europe, and in the later half of the century, Hungarian authorities tried to impose Hungarian language learning on "the ethnicities", something these ethnicities in turn imposed on Hungarians after WWI!) Because of historical twists and turns, the entire nation of Croatia had become attached to the Kingdom of Hungary. And I mean, this happened as far back as 1102 and the Pacta conventa, under which Croatia joined with Hungary in a "personal union" via dynastic intermarriage.

So, after World War I, the Western Allies broke off large chunks of Hungary via the Treaty of Trianon – in the case of Croatia, this partition made sense because of language and ethnic differences, but then the British and French immediately welded Catholic Croatia to Orthodox Serbia. Talk about a shotgun wedding! The two didn't like each other; they spoke basically (more or less) the same language and were (kinda sorta) a single ethnic people originally, before Christianity, but a 1,000 years of religious division made them two separate people – so together they went whether they liked it or not! When Communism fell, they immediately "divorced". Anyway, as you can see, this region's history is extremely complicated.

Language

One language note about Ukrainian because it gives a notion of how fluid national identity can be: sometimes called Ruthenian (and Ukrainian Eastern-Rite Catholics were sometimes called Ruthenians), Ukrainian is an eastern-Slavic dialect with close affinity to both Russian and Belarusian – they are all three actually to some extent mutually intelligible, like Scots-Gaelic and Irish. What they represent is a linguistic continuum. However, unlike say, Irish-Gaelic, which (along with Welsh) has the oldest literary tradition in Europe, after Latin and Greek, Ukrainian has no literary history at all until about the early 18th century, and thus has no literary tradition until that time, when young Ukrainian intellectuals began to build on what Ukrainian identity existed. Compare that to Polish, which has its earliest longer prose pieces going back to the early 1300s or Hungarian, whose literary history goes back to 1200 with the Halotti beszéd, a brief funeral speech composed about 1200, with many translations from Latin starting thereafter.

This language business stands as significant because it suggests that Ukrainian ethnic identity, while real, is a lot more recent and thus politically problematic in terms of basing a modern Ukrainian identity on. Also, you can see why ethnic Russians in Ukraine would be angered about their version of Eastern Slavic being 'dissed' by the post-2014 coup western-gov "installed" Ukrainian regime. The Ukrainian government truly tried to "go to war" with both Russian and Hungarian languages (and whatever Polish survives) in Ukraine! Finally, I've read where, in this invasion, brothers – actual brothers – are fighting each other on the different sides. So, that in itself demonstrates how complicated this situation, and that no easy answers exist to this mess.

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."

Evil, pure and simple, by the bishop of Innsbruck, Austria

Friends,

This is an abomination, and counts as a case of "When you see the Abomination of Desolation set up in the Holy Place..." (St. Matthew 24:15).

This vomit-inducing and particularly in-your-face evil by one Bishop Hermann Glettler is just yet another hideous example of how perverted the mainstream Catholic Church is becoming. It mirrors so much of what's going on in many Protestant Churches and the non-Orthodox communities of Jews. Combined with this new about the Biden Regime's trying to stop Texas from cutting children's genitalia off. Then, that's it. I've had it. and you have obscene evil "in the holy place". Pure and simple. Or consider this news about a dying mother. Absolute evil. And we're in midst of it.

This society has become putridly evil, and we, in the muck, are like the proverbial frog boiled slowly in water. The reality of Hell has heated up around us slowly but steadily, and now it is too high to survive. Yet, we must. By doing so we bear witness to the Truth. That's what we're here for. But always remember: to be silent in the face of evil is to commit evil yourself.

Were we to somehow negotiate an end to the Ukrainian-Russian war and secure Taiwan from invasion, were we to somehow solve the looming food crisis that will starve billions (something that will make Klaus Schwab and Bill Gates, etc., happy, and usher in the "Great Reset", it won't matter. It wouldn't matter because the underlying moral fabric of the West is too far gone. (For some little insight into the evil of Bill Gates, read this article at Lifesitenews.)

Unless God intervenes, it's over. And why should He? We've been sacrificing MILLIONS of babies to Moloch for a half century. Certainly for the "anti-Church" of the current bishops of Rome and Innsbruck, and also of the Italian Diocese of Terni-Narni-Amelia, one Archbishop Paglia, whom the wretched Bergoglio in 2017 made president of the Pontifical Pope John Paul II Institute for Studies on Marriage and Family. That's like a sick joke, but there it is.

This will keep happening, my friends, until we ourselves stop it. Or if we don't, God will, and that's going to be brutal. His Mother herself has tried to intervene for a long time, but I'm sure their patience is coming to an end. See the news at Fatima.org, and Ukrainian bishops call for full consecration; see also Elizabeth Yore's site.

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.

Rudolf Steiner's Prophesy, a chilling read, but obviously spot on...

Friends,

Rudolf Steiner (1861-1925) was an eccentric genius, one of those whose ideas seem "far out" or "tin-foil hat", yet you don't have to accept all of Steiner's famous "anthroposophy" to recognize his insightful genius. Steiner is, I think, best described as "wise man", a modern shaman of sorts,  who could see what others could not. An exact contemporary of the equally famous "out-there" genius, Nikola Tesla (1856-1943), who also saw what other could not, Steiner foresaw a lot of what is wrong with the world today because he saw it developing then. Especially in the practice of Western medicine.

As we have seen with the Covid "plandemic", much of modern medicine is wholly soulless. For the last few centuries, and ever increasingly, Western Allopathic medicine sees human beings as machines to be treated as machines, junked as machines, or, increasingly "improved" as you would improve a machine. Nothing could more deadly to human health, as the writer Jonathan Wynne Evans writes concerning Steiner's prophesy.

Of course, theologically, because God gave you life, spiritual and physical, you cannot lose your immortal soul; but modernity can so poison you, body and soul, that it is as if you lost your soul. We all know plenty of seemingly soulless people, do we not?

Jonathan Wynne Evans writes the following:

Steiner’s Prophesy (the prophesy is in black boldface italics)

I want to consider with you an aspect of the present attack on us. It’s a ticklish one from an evidential point of view, but nevertheless is, I believe, quite crucial. The nature of it, I think, is an effort to change our very humanity.

The arrogance of the technocracy today includes a contempt for anything that is natural combined with rapacious use of our planet – an extraordinary example of that was Elon Musk’s statement that we don’t need bees because we could make much more efficient ones. The real threat to us, though, is not so much in such statements from a mercurial entrepreneur, but in an effort to “improve” the efficiency, not of the bee, but of the human by the promotion of the hive mentality. Part of the drive has been labelled (not helpfully in my view,) identity politics, – the projection of an illusion that the collective, – a concept, – has a personality which trumps the personal sovereignty of the individual.

Those who fall for this chimera of the collective invest in predigested simplistic slogans and, often, 180 degree fundamentally wrong ideas in preference to wrestling themselves with fact finding and intellectual exertion. A person encouraged to feel themselves part of the collective has only to parrot the collective line to get the warm fuzzy feeling of being part of a virtuous grouping, while in reality, whatever their belief, they may in fact be party to real evil.

Many reading this will no doubt have understood this themselves better than I and realised that over several decades this canard has undermined the personal development of many, and polluted our educational establishments and our culture. It makes people who have been deceived by the collective mirage easy targets for the manipulation in the present assault by the motions of convergent malign opportunism.

It is free thinking, free will and the individual personal responsibility accompanying them that define us as humans, and the removal of those reduces us in effect to machines – slave automata.

This was written by Rudolf Steiner over a century ago:

“In the future, we will eliminate the soul with medicine. Under the pretext of a ‘healthy point of view’, there will be a vaccine by which the human body will be treated as soon as possible directly at birth, so that the human being cannot develop the thought of the existence of soul and Spirit.

To materialistic doctors, will be entrusted the task of removing the soul of humanity. As today, people are vaccinated against this disease or that disease, so in the future, children will be vaccinated with a substance that can be produced precisely in such a way that people, thanks to this vaccination, will be immune to being subjected to the “madness” of spiritual life. He would be extremely smart, but he would not develop a conscience, and that is the true goal of some materialistic circles.

With such a vaccine, you can easily make the etheric body loose in the physical body. Once the etheric body is detached, the relationship between the universe and the etheric body would become extremely unstable, and man would become an automaton, for the physical body of man must be polished on this Earth by spiritual will. So, the vaccine becomes a kind of arymanique force; man can no longer get rid of a given materialistic feeling. He becomes materialistic of constitution and can no longer rise to the spiritual”.

Steiner was right in a number of other predictions that he made, – as if the foregoing was not pause for thought enough.

So what I’m driving at in this somewhat random way is that the enemy we face is, in my view, a threat to the whole idea of man as a spiritual being. That is something for which we may say hard evidence is difficult to point to, though as I will do something to start to show as this blog progresses, it is not by any means absent. But that is in the nature of spiritual matters, and we need to simply ask people to use their own given intuition to consider whether this insight – that I for one feel very strongly – is the case.

Great discussions: Col. MacGregor and Tucker Carlson on Ukraine, Stew Peters' and Ukrainian history

Friends,

If you don't listen to any other video comments on the Urkainian-Russian War today, listen to these two:

Colonel Douglas MacGregor and Tucker Carlson here discuss what's really going on, and why Putin invaded. (MacGregor has been in hot water with the war-promoting Fox News for his "counter-narrative" to Fox's warhawking; the Colonel thus seems an oasis of sanity on that news platform.) 

Stew Peters on Putin's invasion is here at Bitchute.

I especially like Peters' quick history of the Ukraine, how 300 or so years ago, it had long since ceased to be a country, just segments of various empires, one of them a Muslim Khanate. This was the Crimean Khanate, a descendant of the Golden Horde Mongol-Turkish empire that originated in the 1200s after Mongols had conquered what's now Ukrainian territory from a myriad of feuding Russian principalities; the Mongols conquered and destroyed Kiev in 1240. Then Peter the Great (Peters shows Pete's pic, but doesn't name him) conquered the Turks and had to resettle the eastern Ukraine because the Muslims, doing what they do, had carried off all the people as slaves. (The Turks did the same to Hungary when they conquered it after the Battle of Mohács in 1526; the Austrians had to repopulate large portions of Hungary with German settlers.) 

If you want to grasp how crazily complicated this "Ukrainian" history can be, check out Britannica's article on Kiev. Ukrainian nationalism, based on the Ukrainian version of Slavic, began in the early 19th century. Pretty much, however, what is now western Ukraine, where most actual Ukrainian-speaking people live, has never been independent, not until the fall of the Soviet Union, which itself arbitrarily set Ukraine's borders back in the 1920s. (The borders should have been drawn on where most folks spoke which languages.) Recently, the Ukrainian government has been trying to force the Russian speakers in the east and the Hungarian and/or other local language speakers in the west to speak only Ukrainian, which explains why the Hungarians do not have much love for the Ukrainians. (The Hungarians themselves tried a version of that in the later 19th century in the large, multi-ethnic Kingdom of Hungary; it didn't work then, either.)

So, there you have it.

Anyway, check out both conversations. Well worth the time.

What's really going on in the Ukraine? Competing narratives, for a few more days, at least...

Friends,

The Ukraine-Russian War is a morass of lies and deception and propaganda and most of all, "narrative building". And I'm not referring to the combatants only. Certainly, the U.S. government is so up to its neck in graft, money-laundering, human trafficking, all that, much of it involving the Ukraine, that they – from elected officials to bureaucrats – and their media slaves have every reason to lie about the war.

As bloggers have said, this Russian-Ukrainian war is in large part a segment of a great globalist technocracy jihad against what independent peoples and governments who even half-way support traditional values such as still exist. Vladimir Putin, the former KGB officer, is hardly St. Nicholas, the patron saint of Russia, but at least Putin's "narrative" of support for the Orthodox Church and traditional morality stands as the antithesis of Soros-Schwab-Gates/Big Pharma/BlackRock/Western moral depravity.

Neither I nor anyone pointing this out necessarily approve Putin's invasion, but a "Matrix-builder" like baby-faced Mark Zuckerberg and the Schwab/World Economic Forum Bond-movie wannabees, not to mention global owner BlackRock and its ilk, are far more dangerous to sanity, morality, and human freedom. Proof of that is the Covid hoax. And proof of how far the West has fallen morally is the Covid Hoax. So, this is a war where we have few, in any, good options. That's especially true because Putin has allied himself to China and Iran while the American government hass hopelessly surrendered to equally evil people, mostly in China!  The Biden Administration has shut down U.S. investigations of Chinese espionage. Why? Because they have bought him lock, stock, and barrel? No! Because according to the regime, it is racist! (America has fallen, my friends.)

That said – and it is a mouthful! – I've been saying for some time that we cannot trust the news coming out of the Ukraine, and we cannot (absolutely, truly most sincerely!) trust our Western news services about it. A case in point Sundance at The Conservative Treehouse writes about it here. 

I wrote some time ago that "God is on the side of the Big Battalions", a lesson the American Confederacy learned to its mortal cost. (America would not have won the Revolutionary War without the Royal French fleet, either.) Germany lost to the big battalions in both World Wars, as did the Imperial Japanese. Ireland, historically, perpetually lost to the British because the Brits could field large armies, when necessary, and the Irish simply could not.

Here, in this war, Russia has the big battalions. And Putin is clearly attacking in as mild a fashion as he can yet still maintain it is a serious invasion (colorful nuclear threats notwithstanding.) He neither wants to kill a lot of the Ukrainian part Russian/part Ukrainian but all Slavic population nor, obviously, destroy a country he's about to absorb (the rebuilding cost would be dire).

And yet, hour-by-hour we are inundated with all sorts of news stories how the plucky Ukrainians are fighting off the Russian Bear. Fox News, CNN, the "alphabet broadcast news companies, etc., are all playing the fiddles very loudly. And the Ukrainians play along, today saying they demand immediate entry into the EU. (Why? Why, so they all can flee their hopelessly corrupt government and spread their corruption throughout Europe, of course.) But other voices are speaking out, as well, as in the case of Col. MacGregor in the Sundance article or another writer here linked here at Gateway Pundit. This one is worth reading for the plain common sense of it .

Meanwhile, we keep finding out that what we're told by the MainStream Media is getting "debunked" daily, like the "Ghost of Kiev" fighter pilot. They've lied five years and more about Trump, they'll lie here about this war. Therefore, while people whom I respect are talking up the meme that Russia bit off more than it could chew: i.e., like this version of events. "Putin rolled the dice of war and didn’t beat Ukraine. This, in strategic terms, probably means he lost the campaign." C'mon, it took the crack Wehrmacht six weeks to reach Kiev (or however it is now spelled) and seven more to capture it.

So, I think the "narratives" are falling all over themselves, tangled in their own strands, choking themselves into incomprehensibility, and we have yet to see what's happening. Even when the war is over, we'll be drowned in false "narratives". But because the Ukraine is such a cesspool of U.S. government (Democrats, Biden family, RINOs) corruption, we can't believe what we're hearing. Truly, in this case, seeing is believing.

So, don't trust the news. Trust God, and yourselves, but not much else.

"The latest example of a sociopathic gaslighter" (Bergoglio, not Biden)

Amici,

As if we do not have enough in this crazy, dying civilization to worry about! Dar Crom! This line in the title is from an excellent article by J. Basil Dannebohm on the nefarious Bergoglio's recent manipulations regarding his overt approval of the FSSP (Priestly Society of Saint Peter) saying the Latin Mass, and all the other sacraments and ordinations, etc., according to the 1962 Missal of Pope John XXIII. We ought, of course, to be celebrating the rites according to the pre-1955 Missals because after that date, the truly evil Freemason Hannibal ('grace of Ba'al') Bugnini wrecked the Easter rites in an infamous decimating precursor maneuver to Bugnini's wrecking the Traditional Latin Mass and Rites after 1965. (BTW, if you had the name "Hannibal" and you wanted to be a priest, would you keep "Grace of Satan" as your name? Just sayin'.)

The article is here at Memorare. It is full of excellent and excoriating quotes, so please give it a read.

Meanwhile, Timothy J. Flanders at One Peter Five takes a more toned down approach. Flanders asks us to pray for the "Holy Father", otherwise, this guy:

Uh, yeah, right. Bergoglio should keep to his ferocious frown. You can ask me to believe a lot of stuff, but that this individual is a legal pope, nope, sorry. I agree with Patrick Coffin here. And besides the details Coffin explains, the Catholic Church is not a mutual intellectual or spiritual suicide cult: we don't have to believe absolutely contradictory things such as a guy is pope when that guy doesn't do what pope's are elected to do: protect and serve Christian Tradition, which includes Divine Revelation and Tradition as the Holy Ghost has developed it from the first (and only) Pentecost. "Bergi" has not done that, so ipso facto, he's just an Argentinian Peronist residing in the Vatican. (And I hasten to add, don't let anyone bog you down with ridiculous sedevacantist palaver; its usually just a club to beat you with "in order to improve your morale".)

Listen to Coffin. Be enlightened.

As for Bergoglio and the FSSP, I'm reminded of the story about the Egyptian god Toth: he gave Pharaoh the gift of writing. Pharaoh was profusely grateful, but Toth said, "Hold up, oh Pharaoh, for know this: what I give with one hand I take with the other. Now that I have given you the gift of writing, know that I have taken the gift of memory. Now that you can read, you won't be able to commit to long memory all that you knew before." (Toth was impossible to play poker with.)

Bergoglio has surely done the same: he's given the FSSP (and others, such as Christ the King Sovereign Priest, etc., the written gift of permission to worship in full Catholicity, but taken from away from them any protection in doing so from the Wolf Bishops (Hyena Bishops? Maybe their deity is Anubis?) such as the truly execrable sodomite bishop of Knoxsville, Richard "Short Sleeves" Stika. (Read Dannenbohm again, this time about Stika here.)

As Dannenbohm writes, we must pray for the tormented souls who must reside in such bishoprics. I forget how bad it is "out there". If you have a bishop like those, pray! All the "signs of the times" indicate massive change is upon us, for good or ill.

The Ukrainian situation as of Saturday night, plus U.S. gov corruption

 Friends,

It is apparently becoming pretty clear that the U.S. Biden Regime is trying to sink the Ukrainians. The British and the Poles, on the other hand, are providing serious material support (weapons). So, what is all this about?

First of all, beware that both the Russians and the American government are masters at deceptive propaganda (anyone remember Covid "fear-porn"?). So we can be sure of nothing. Well, there's an old saying that, "God is on the side of the big battalions." The Russians have the big battalions. Meanwhile, Poland is saying 100,000 Ukrainians have crossed the Polish border and 100s of 1000s more are expected. Other neighboring countries are receiving refugees. Hungary has offered to accept refugees, mostly I suppose ethnic Hungarians, of which Ukraine has a good few. There's not a lot of love lost between the Ukrainians proper and Hungarians, and stories like this one are appearing. Whatever the truth is about these questions, Ukrainian president

Volodymyr Zalenskyy says he is staying and protests continue in Russian cities against Putin's invasion.

But still, considering the British helping the Ukrainians and Biden not, with the White House apparatchiks flood-lighting the gay rainbow flag onto the White House whereas the Brits' PM residence, 10 Downing Street, is colored blue and gold, one has to wonder what, truly, is going on here. Can this be true? Well, Biden took the weekend off to go to Delaware. (But of course his "handlers" are not taking time off.) This is especially odd since the Biden Crime Family has grown fat off of Ukrainian bribes and slush funds over the years.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine seems to be in a bit of flux as it looks like Ukrainians are stoutly resisting and the Russian operation to conquer it now stands in some degree of doubt – as of now, at least. I mean, if this news is in any way factual. Can the Ukrainians actually stop the Russian advance? Is that remotely possible? Well, the U.S. tried to get the Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zalenskyy, to flee to the U.S. (or somewhere outside of the region), an act that would collapse Ukrainian morale. With "friends" like that, you don't need enemies.

Biden's Deep State

So, again, whose side is Biden's Deep State on, we may well ask. We don't want to do the Ukrainians' fighting for them, or let this "regional" war develop into a world war, which it could easily do, and potentially going nuclear, but if the Ukrainians themselves are willing to fight, we should materially support them. Remember Taiwan, for the same is true with Taiwan, should the Chinese invade that nation. And the People's Republic of China is far more dangerous a threat that Russia is. In general, naked aggression should be resisted in a world as heavily armed and already violent as our is.

Meanwhile, the Brits are providing the Ukrainians with the Swedish (Saab) NLAW. According to SAAB, the NLAW is "(Next generation Light Anti-tank Weapon) eliminates even the most advanced tanks. It is best-in-class for dismounted light forces that operate in all environments, including built-up areas. Key features. Powerful warhead, able to defeat any modern MBT. Combat range of 20-800 miles" or so Saab reports. Military-Today.com says, "The NLAW is a short-range anti-tank missile whose characteristics make it sort of a hybrid. It's armed with a powerful 150 mm High-Explosive Anti-Tank (HEAT) warhead designed to knock out Russian T-series tanks at short range."

Good for the Brits; this weapon provides the Ukrainians with a fighting chance. Better than Biden, whose multi-billion (6.4) dollar aid package he's promising will be leeched out of money by corrupt U.S. politicians. One has to wonder if Biden is giving Ukraine to Russia and thus what Putin has on Joe Biden via stolen laptops from Hunter?

In any event, maybe this is a only momentary set-back for the Russians? Were it true, it would be truly impressive and the ramifications unlimited. After all, since it's breakaway from the old Soviet Union, Ukraine has been pretty much under the thumb of corrupt American politicians and bureaucrats (more on that below). But were the Ukrainians to actually win this, or put up a far better than expected defense, that could forge them into an actual nation. And again, the same would be true of Taiwan: so one might say, "As goes Ukraine, so goes Taiwan." (China, by the way, is blaming the U.S. for the Ukrainian situation; since Biden and before him Obama came in, that's not without a lot of reason but China isn't doing it to be moral, but to set the stage for their invasion of Taiwan.)

And a Ukrainian victory, or a near-victory that would give the Ukrainians great clout in any future negotiations, would still impress the world. I wonder, too, if the Russian army shows it can't handle the Ukrainians with ease and aplomb, would not the Chinese army be a lot worse? That military is a hopeless morass of moral, financial, and political corruption, with political cronies and time-serving apparatchiks galore in positions of leadership. (I've read where the main occupations of all bureaucrats in China, both military and civilian, is porn viewing on their computers.)  

American Corruption

U.S. political elites (mostly Democrats but not wholly so, obviously) apparently use the Ukraine as an endless source of bribes and payoffs, as in the case of the septic-tank rancid Biden Graft Clan. Many say the Ukraine is now a source of sexual human trafficking, as well. (The insane U.S. border situation in part exists the way it does to allow Democrats easier "human trafficking" kids into the the U.S. for the pedophilia-obsessed Democrats. The true depravity of our political leaders is obscene – to made a bad pun.)

And perhaps the oddest yet most significant story of all is that we now know the Ukraine is full of Bio-weapons labs of all sorts. Apparently the Russians have bombed eight of these. They are seemingly there to serve nefarious U.S. government agencies and individuals outside of the observation actual U.S. located labs are under. This incredible story, all on its own, might result in a major cleaning of "The Swamp", the fetid morass that the U.S. Federal government has become. If Zelenskyy knows "Sunlight is the best disinfectant", and will refuses to back down down, this could well result.

Bottom Line

The American media is reporting or hustling (more like) the spoon-fed U.S. State Department narrative that Kiyev (Kiev) would fall quick, in a few days (96 hours), whereas the U.K. military is reporting that Russian columns are blunted, getting bogged down, and making slow progress. The Brits provide daily briefings whereas the U.S. government hustles yet more "fear porn".

Finally: a major story is the Ukrainian president wanted to enter into negotiations with Putin but the U.S. government (State Department) has tried to stop this, saying Ukraine can only negotiate through the U.S. government. If this story is true, it is an example of how the American government thinks Ukraine is its "cash cow" and has no legitimacy on its own. It is to the American elite what Ireland was for centuries to the English elite. And of course it strongly suggests that the U.S. government has a lot in Ukraine that it doesn't want known.
