…in February 2014, Putin’s ‘little green men’ … seized control of Ukraine’s Crimea. Consistent with Putin’s information warfare doctrine, several days prior to the invasion, Russian intelligence services … leaked a private telephone call between Assistant Secretary of State for Russian and European Affairs Victoria Nuland and U.S. Ambassador to Ukraine Geoffrey Pyatt. The two U.S. diplomats in the intercepted phone call discussed who would be the best candidate among the top opposition figures, to replace the ousted pro-Russia president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovich.
Rebekah Koffler, DIA officer[i]
Nothing in the Nuland-Pyatt conversation proves that American officials orchestrated the Euromaidan Revolution. In fact, with all the resources available to Russian intelligence you would think Moscow could have come up with something more substantial than a diplomatic non sequitur. Yet many Americans, convinced of the wickedness of their own country, have treated the Nuland-Pyatt conversation as proof that America stole Ukraine from Russia (as if Ukraine is an easy country to take over).
In 2014, when Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was overthrown, Barack Obama, a.k.a. Barry Soetero, a.k.a. Barack Soebarkah, was President of the United States. We have to ask ourselves: Why would Obama want to overthrow Yanukovych? Given Obama’s friendly policies toward Russia during his first term, it makes no sense. Obama was not interested in military competition with Russia. He did not build up the U.S. military and he was not interested in renewing America’s nuclear arsenal. Why, then, would he have bothered to take over Ukraine?
It is important to remember that Obama and Putin had both been Marxists. Obama was mentored by a communist party member named Frank Marshall Davis, who was suspected by the FBI of being a KGB agent.[ii] Putin had been a member of the Communist Party and worked for the KGB. (We also know that Obama was a Marxist when he attended Occidental College.)[iii] And yet, none of Obama’s autobiographical books explain why or even when he abandoned his Marxist faith. And this is true for Putin as well. In fact, Putin has said that he still likes communist ideas. He has even said that Christianity and Leninism are basically the same, that communism comes from the Bible.[iv] So when the Russian special services present the private conversation of Obama’s underlings as a plot to take Ukraine away from Russia, what do they suppose Obama’s motive was? Why would he do this? Barack Obama was not Putin’s enemy. And yet, this is somehow what we are supposed to believe.
And now that a war has broken out, with Russia invading Ukraine, it is disconcerting to hear people say that the West is looking for an excuse to attack Russia. But the West does not want war with Russia. This would be madness and everybody knows it. In fact, the side that wants war is the side that is prepared to win. That side is only found in Moscow and Beijing.
NATO is not ready for war. America is not ready for war. How can anyone believe that the West is trying to start a war they are not ready for? It makes no sense. And look at our internal divisions? We are in no shape to be fighting a war when we are so divided at home. And so, looking back on Victoria Nuland in 2014, we do not find an international mastermind. We find a sorry excuse for a public servant making nasty remarks that are being taped by Russian intelligence. I submit that America’s diplomats lacked the basic competence required to organize a coup in Ukraine. And so, the masterminds of this present war are not in Washington or Brussels or Davos. The masterminds are in Moscow and Beijing.
It is sad to say, however, that many otherwise intelligent Americans mistake Russian pre-war propaganda for proof of American wickedness. Consider Ted Galen Carpenter’s 2017 piece at the CATO Institute, titled “America’s Ukraine Hypocrisy.”[v] Here, Carpenter suggests that two diplomatic blunderers, blabbing to each other over an open phone line for all the world to hear, inspired and directed a revolution in Ukraine. That really is an extraordinary thesis. Carpenter accepts Moscow’s interpretation of this call on its face and pours it through the sieve of his distorted political imagination. Carpenter’s final product confuses the antics of Senator John McCain with a vast revolutionary conspiracy even as he ascribes omnicompetence to Obama’s political boobies. What does Carpenter think our diplomats chatter about in private? Does he think they talk about the weather? A diplomat on foreign soil represents his government’s views and interests. Demonizing those interests is, of course, in the interest of America’s enemies. Carpenter, thus, does not know on what side his own bread is buttered. And he is not alone.
Regarding our country’s blameworthiness, let me clarify, so that nobody mistakes the message or the nuance. Are America’s leaders honest? Not entirely. It does not follow, however, that America’s leaders are the authors of all the mischief in the world, or all the evil, or that they have caused the war in Ukraine. And here is a word to the wise: if you want to talk about wicked rulers, talk about the leaders in Moscow and Beijing. Think of Russia’s gulag with its political prisoners. Think of China’s laogai and the killing of innocent people to harvest their organs. Did you know that the police in Russia and China use torture? Their citizens have no real rights. Look at the way in which China has crushed Tibet and Ukraine is being Crushed by Russia. Think of what has been done to the Uyghurs and the Chechens. Those who have no sense of history might pontificate on the corruption of America, but our worst politicians are tearful little girls when compared to Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin. The embezzlements, the muzzling of countless millions, the wholesale looting of countries, the killing of journalists and freethinkers, the poisoning of the human mind, and now the destruction of Ukraine.
Americans who embrace Russian propaganda seem to think that if American politicians lie, then Russian politicians must be truthful. The corollary of this error follows: That if America is led by bad men, then Vladimir Putin is a good man. The correct syllogism, however, is found in Swiss historian Jacob Burckhardt’s statement “that power is in itself evil.”[vi] Putin is possessed of more unchecked power than any American politician. That is why Putin is more evil and more dangerous than the President of the United States. The corollary to this is that the Russian government has more power over Russians than the American government has over Americans.
“Every power,” noted Jacob Burckhardt, “as long as its period of growth lasts … has no regard for the rights of the weaker.”[vii] Burkhardt’s associate, Friedrich Nietzsche, wrote that a state “is called the coldest of all cold monsters. Coldly lieth it also; and this lie creepeth from its mouth: ‘I, the state, am the people.’”[viii]
The state is a fearful master and must be crafted with many checks and balances in mind. And the biggest check on state power is the people. It is shameful, in this context, that so many conservatives are condemning Ukraine as a corrupt country when, in truth, the Ukrainian people have put us to shame. Please note: In December 2004 there was a crooked election in Ukraine; but the Ukrainian people did not accept it. They began what was called “the Orange Revolution,” which forced a revote. And then, after mistakenly electing a Russian stooge in 2010, the Ukrainian people drove him out of office with the Maidan uprising of 2013-2014. Meanwhile, the Americans have failed to correct a fraudulent election and to drive their Russian (and Chinese) stooge from office. Therefore, it hardly seems fair that Americans should be passing judgment on Ukraine as a corrupt country.
Furthermore, Ukraine has been bombed and invaded by Russia – the world’s premier nuclear power. Look how the Ukrainian people have risen to the occasion. When America is bombed and invaded, I hope and pray that Americans show the same spirit of resistance.
Diana West recently wrote a column in which she quoted my remark about feeding Ukraine to the Russian crocodile so that we might be eaten last. She then suggested that America may have already been fed to the crocodile. But this cannot be the case. There is no gulag here, as yet. Our freedom of speech remains. If invaded, our troops would resist even as the Ukrainians are resisting. Perhaps my use of the crocodile metaphor was imprecise. Perhaps we have been stung by a snake whose venom serves as a kind of digestive juice; for America is too large a meal for swallowing without careful preparation. The communists behind the Russian and Chinese regimes have, indeed, injected America with poison; and this poison is tenderizing and dissolving us from within. No doubt! Yet there may be an antidote; and, as long we are not inside the reptile’s stomach there is hope.
For those who think the leaders of the Democratic Party are genuinely opposed to Moscow and Beijing, please review the following linked videos. The first one shows Obama talking about his communist mentor, Frank.
Then there is this “hot mic” exchange between President Obama and Russian President Medvedev in March 2012:
Next watch Obama sharing a joke with Vladimir Putin, now returned to office as Russian president, during a June 2012 G-20 meeting.

Hello Jeff,
Thank you for your post.
You write: “NATO is not ready for war. America is not ready for war. How can anyone believe that the West is trying to start a war they are not ready for? It makes no sense. And look at our internal divisions?”
Surly you are right about NATO not being prepared for a war. Nevertheless, it seems that the western leaders try to ignite a war. At least, it looks as if they are using the repercussions of the war to foster their push for societal transformation according to UN Agenda 2030.
This war will have sever consequences on food security (https://www.berliner-zeitung.de/news/spediteure-warnen-wegen-hoher-spritkosten-vor-leeren-supermarkt-regalen-li.216587), individual transportation due to insane inflation for energy, freedom of speech (https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/eu-bans-rt-sputnik-banned-over-ukraine-disinformation-2022-03-02/) and even the world financial system (https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/pozsar-we-could-be-looking-early-stages-classic-liquidity-crisis).
In Germany the war is used as a pretext to again open the gates for unchecked migration (https://www.merkur.de/lokales/garmisch-partenkirchen/garmisch-partenkirchen-ort28711/ukraine-krieg-konflikt-fluechtlinge-ankunft-bayern-garmisch-unterbringung-hotel-frauen-kinder-91399748.html – it is comical). They use the same moral blackmailing as 2015/16. 10.000 people arriving each day in Berlin. And the only thing the politicians are talking about is how to delivery Covid shots to them. It is madness but it the whole chaos seems to serve the interests of the political class to further destabilize.
I just don’t think the war is not wanted by western politicians. In so far I think it makes sense to start a war or to keep it going.
They do such things whether there is war or not.
Great essay, Jeff. I was relieved to finally hear from you. I was getting worried by the long pause. A few points. First off, thanks for that background on Obama’s and his Ukrainian “diplomats.” What you say about that makes perfect sense. Also, I think you made the case very well that the U.S. and NATO are ill-prepared for war. So, my question to you is why are they roaring like lions ready to pounce? It seems like Kabuki theater to me.One final side note. I saw your March 5 interview on Frank Gaffney’s show and your comments about how our fleets are in the Mediterranean so China may be thinking now is their moment to take back Taiwan with the world focused on Ukraine. To your point, I was talking to a lawyer friend whose family is from Taiwan. He says that 40% of the Taiwanese favor annexation, oops, I mean “reunification.” He also said that there is an enormous increase in flights out of Taiwan. People there are fleeing to Gwam, Singapore, and Japan like crazy now. He does not think given the technology assets of Taiwan, that the Chinese will fight a shooting war. His comment was all they have to say is “Boo!” and the scared Taiwanese will flee, and the rest will stay and be “happy.”
Right now I am getting a lot of intel and much of my time is spent sifting it. A lot of disinformation is coming our way. The economic fallout is going to be serious. Taiwan is one of the other fronts the communists could advance on. But I think the domestic front could explode in the next two weeks. Watch for terrorism. Watch for the release of blackmail on people — especially those who turned down KGB and Chinese recruitment.
It must be twice as bad as the “sifting” I have done with the Covid “intel” over the last 2 years.
A very sobering post!!!
Thank you Jeff for keeping us informed amidst the fog.
Yes, this economic war is lost. Putin has reserves, China has reserves. We have underestimated their economies, much of it underground. Our economies are in shambles. It is we who cannot afford sanctions. Many signs saw that Putin was preparing for a period of isolation and reliance on China.
A lot of our derivatives market relied on Russian oil delivery as a substance. Banks will crash or cry uncle. The great trillion derivatives catastrophic debacle could occur very soon.
Lady from Liberty Garage – would you (or anyone) by chance have a link to that March 5th video wherein Jeff spoke ? Thank you.
Here you go:
Many thanks ! 🙂
Frank Gaffney’s show! You’ve made the big time!
I’ve been on with him many times.
Yes, many roar like lions but watch what they do in terms of less than noble acts (disgraceful as a Senator mentioned). The polish Mig29 flap and the begging Iran, Venezuela and even Putin for oil should tell you that their roar is only for “domestic consumption” as the whorish State Department knows well the drill (saying Iran only saber rattles for their own domestic consumption, not for our external intimidation…). For what else would a whore of Babylon do for the domestic husband consumption but express outrage at thugs? Meanwhile same prostitutes send love letters in secret to serial killers in prison, or asks them how to get the next cocaine sex trip in coded manner. (As an aside, I find it amazing that men these days must walk on eggshells around women and gays at work and have a hard time finding a woman minding them, but serial killers and convicts get hundreds of love letters every year with not a peep but complicitness from the feminine or gay contingent in that respect … signs of the times and leadership corruption). Even a merely “sincere” feminine person (man or woman) wearing make up would only express outrage as a cosmetic but never confront courageously the evil in reality. For beauty is only for the courageous and the chivalrous (foolish?) to defend, beauty in spirit as expressed in beauty in art form. Other people, the bourgeois, will not defend beauty but use church for their own looks and will only covet easy come easy go wealth of rent, and that degenerates in an ironically masculinist Marxism where beauty is then mocked in favor of “system” and “final solution” (because the sin of the masculine is to find solutions to virginity to lose and female help, instead of understanding and living with female contingencies), where chivalry is hated in favor of worship of the mediocre and the disgusting. And so it is that nowadays, what we call liberal, which includes both democrats and so called Independents, will often show a nationalist face the way the feminine will pretend lack of interest in withchcraft by both promoting her Christian full mindedness condemning whatever man would use witchcraft to understand her relations with it (which it is another form of cowardice in confronting the evil living in her), and the masculine will scoff at understanding women, witches and let alone communist plots in Beijing or Moscow.
I have to explain what I mean by system. The man archetype mary the woman archetype as a system, to set their wife and life with a woman as a system, and then they do not mind their wife, could care less what she does reading the horoscope what not (horoscope she reads because she is too cowardly to see what is just and beautiful and seeks instead how her now secret hidden agenda she fears confronting men with will get accomplished without communication and just by luck of the strike). The same masculine archetype which believes in utopian solutions and system is the same that thinks that diplomacy and peace in the world only requires organs like NATO or the UN, and even socialist government of all types. The French man in particular likes his big government much like the Swede does. It is his choice of system. Marx, who I think was really a pimp, saw that accurately in his “hatred” of socialists. To him they lacked the proper investigative and surveillance acumen of revolution. It also removed the need for the worship angle he sought. The socialists do not want to mind the wife nor the Marxist pimp, just they be part of a convenient system.
Finally I can ask you questions again, it’s been too long. You’re one of the few good analysts left.
First, what do you think of the supposed FSB leaks? https://www.facebook.com/100002653071498/posts/4827475584017496/
What do you think of Kamil Galeev’s lengthy analysis on the Russian economy and sanctions? For example, the more mafia like the leader, the simpler the industry he must control. So low status nerds may be in charge of machinery, but high status oligarchs are in charge of oil. https://mobile.twitter.com/kamilkazani/status/1501360272442896388?s=21
Finally, I don’t think Zelensky trusts Biden. That’s in response to both this article and that tweet you sent. For example, he’s blaring about a no fly zone, but he’s really aiming to get more military hardware. So he’s using negotiating tactics, public opinion, and political cover to extract war resources from the west while looking like the good guy(Which I think he is). This was inspired by a very respected Reddit post: https://www.reddit.com/r/worldnews/comments/tc2ait/%2Fr%2FWorldNews_Live_Thread%3A_Russian_Invasion_of_Ukraine_Day_16%2C_Part_3_%28Thread_%23136%29/i0auutv/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share&context=3
You can never trust FSB leaks. They can be cunning — with poison blended into truth. As for Galeev, the oligarchs are not really in charge. They are front men and contract employees of state security. There may be exceptions, but then they are MGB or Party apparatchiks. As for Zelensky, he is trying to save his country and is using his media skills. The West, being unready for war, are hearing stern warnings from the NATO and American generals. “Do not get into a war yet, we need time.” China is disturbingly quiet. Why? Moscow and Beijing want a widened war, but they want the West to start it. As soon as the right pretext emerges, we could be in it.
As I understand it, Xi Jinping has the election in August to become leader for life. I suspect he will be rather dormant until then. But i suspect in September he will have little restraint when his leadership is secured.
Could be. Or the CCP loses its nerve and collapses.
Do you think the bio lab disinfo is “the right pretext” China/Russia are using to build a case for invading the U.S.? At the very least, they’re seem to be using it to try to divide us from our allies, would you say?
They are trying to create a new narrative. You will see them fishing around for justifications to escalate. This is going to evolve over the next three weeks. Wait and see. They dare not go too far, lest their own people turn against the war.
That would be the best hope that we have right now.
Jeff, why would you say the CCP might “lose its nerve and collapse”? If everything going the way the communists, including the Chinese, want it?
It is not going the way they want. Russia has to prevail in Ukraine or the war must be widened under sub-optimal conditions.
But trusting Golitsyn, Soviet KGB, is somehow Ok?
The proof is in the pudding. You show your ignorance.
In May of 2020 Zelenskyy started an investigation involving Biden. There may be issues there he cannot bring to the forefront as he also depends on the US for aid. But no, I dont think he trusts Biden and his mistrust is likely well-founded.
That thing about the diplomats talk is similar to the lies told by Brazilian communists, that US conspired with Brazilian Military to perform the 1964 coup. The “proof” is a message from the american ambassador in Brazil telling Washington about the coup that had taken place and saying that some action should be taken. From that came a conclusion that americans had plotted to overthrow Brazilian government at the time.
Man proposes but God disposes. All this speculation against a larger unsaid backdrop, of a West that disconnects itself from inside Russia in protest, ending on both sides the whole Westernization project that has bedeviled Russia for hundreds of years, regardless of desires on either side for some form of union, of some kind of new civilizational arrangement whether in slavish imitation of the Wests modernity or in carrying the torch of a miserable Western heresy like Marxism.
Both options are dead, and the West ( and the Russian westernizers!) itself is what set it in motion with all the volition of a sleepwalker. Dividing the cultural and spiritual spaces on either side of the Dneipr and Bug rivers.
These things that are happening are beyond the strength and mind of mere men, most of whom are mere ciphers and non entities as far as these forces in movement are concerned. It doesn’t matter in this case if the persons in movement are blunderers.
Did you use a spam generator for this?
And RG, if you truly believe in God and love both Him and your fellow man, you would discern what I’m saying. And we all sin and fall short of His glory: no one knows Putin’s heart, or sometimes even their own for that matter, prayinginok.
That’s not even coherent.
Let me break it down for you, ohengineer.
According to Strannik, Western civilization is the most corrupt civilization to ever take up space on God’s green earth.
If innocent, pure Russia embraced Marxism, it was forced upon her by the West.
If dear, upright Russia fell prey to the evils of modernism, it was because, similar to an innocent babe imitating its parents, Russia was just trying to be like the West.
If hardship befalls Russia’ if any Westerner were to ever speak harshly of the Russian communist leaders- it is because the West is hellbent on destroying poor, sweet, noble Russia, and wiping her existence from the face of the earth.
We meet ciphers cannot evin begin to understand the nobility. Wisdom, and magnanimity that courses Putin’s veins with every beat of his bleeding heart.
Those mere ciphers in Ukraine, cannot fathom Putin’s unsullied intentions as he destroys their homes and cities.
All those mere Ukranian ciphers, must be driven from their homeland, and whoever resists must be bombed into submission. The evil Western influence that has infected those mere Ukranian ciphers, must be purged before it swallows poor, honest Russia.
And who are we to judge? We who are such mere ciphers, equal to the nothingness of those wicked Ukranians. For only God knows Putin’s heart.
Though God has taught us in His Word, that even a child is known by his doings. And that all our actions flow from our hearts. And that good trees do not produce evil fruit, nor evil trees bring forth good fruit. But our devout resident Russian Orthodox on this site, dear Strannik, would have us not believe the very Word he claims to adhere to. Nor can we believe our lying eyes when we see the bombed out Ukranian residential areas, or the Ukranians fleeing their land.
No, we are mere ciphers, and unable to judge a man such as Putin, who clearly must be one rung down from the Lord Himself. How can we fully understand such a man as Putin?
Strannik, all the veneer of an honest, good-intentioned-but-blinded-by-love-for-Russia man is gone in my eyes. You are either a completely blind toadie for Putin, or a troll.
If you were truly an honest man, you would never post on this site again.
Your countries agents are Marxists. Haven’t you noticed yet?
Grey Knight, I’m aware of what Strannik is. He’s a Putinist apologist and an enemy of mankind as a result.
Ohengineer, I know you do. You have called him out many times. I was just using your comment as a springboard
Strannik may well believe what he is saying, and it is important to understand his point of view, even if it is tainted with Kremlin propaganda. As long as the discussion is civilized we can learn from it. Please avoid attacking or name-calling. Discuss the ideas and the factual claims. That will add light to the discussion and avoid the darkness. If people lie or play tricks, these can be exposed as we go along.
I doubt if most Russian people believe in Marxism, and suspect that most Russian politicians have to profess to be confessed Communist, or be killed. Expediency is the name of the game, played by East and West alike. The game room for civilized nations has become the United Nations. The kinetic actions are winding down, and the fallout won’t be nuclear, rather political.
Of course the Russian people do not believe in Marxism! That is why Putin has had to lie, and why they are spoon-feeding socialist thinking to all the people of the world, without telling what it is. They want people to believe, but people have a funny aversion to the old lies. Thus it has to be “new lies for old.”
@greyknight, well said. I had to quickly protect my keyboard from the coffee in my hand (yes, really).
Very good example. The communists present part of a story and then tell you how it ends.
I am only reminding of how man does not tell how it ends, at all.
Hello, Jeff! Why did Putin choose to invade in the end of the Winter? Weather and terrain are not colaborating, there are vehicles jammed on the roads. Putin certainly knew that, but chose to act anyway. Why such a haste? What does he see ahead? Does he intend to secure Ukraine and its wheat now, so that he can come for Europe on Summer? And being in control of Ukrainian granaries?
There are two possible answers. First, Putin was misled by his intelligence and his generals about the prospect of successfully attacking under a soft ground conditions. The other possible factor is China. For some reason Russia has decided to begin the war in Europe, opening the way for China in the East. For economic reasons China must go to war soon or face a financial crisis that may well lead to an internal political crisis. War is a way out for Xi. China is probably delaying its mobilization until the Russians win in Ukraine and are able to take on NATO. Russia will win, but that will take time. All eyes to Russian moral. Can Putin hold his army together? I think so, at least for now.
Strannik, God has already said how it ends. He also outlines how it gets there. You just haven’t paid attention.
As long as the Democrats are led by the communist left pushing Global Warming our leaders are our enemies aren’t they? The EU wants a “Great Reset”. Klaus Schwab has enlisted his students, Trudeau, Macron, the New Zealand PM, Ardern etc., to crash the world economy by busting the fossil fuel industry. He (with Fauci, Gates and Soros), tried it with Covid lockdowns. It didn’t work. I’m hearing he/they want war to bring Russia and China on board. They think the US/NATO will win with their secret weapons I guess. Biden is being run by these leftist Communist greenies. These morons want to depopulate the earth and save it from the global warming rising seas. They are insane. So right now, yes, the American President and Democrat-led Congress are purposely running America into the ground thinking they are saving the planet. It’s not as ruthless and vicious as what Putin and Xi want to do to rule the world with a decapitation first strike on the US, but it is a plot, Agenda 2030. That is why NOW is the time for Putin and Xi to attack. They have idiots running these NATO countries. Maybe these globalist communist greenies are proxies for Russia and China but there is a plot to crush America in America’s leadership imho.
I have a sense that things are not exactly what they seem. There is a much bigger picture behind all of this and you touched on some of it.
Yes, there is more than I can keep up with to write.
I’ve noticed it has been over a week since you last posted anything. I figured you were being overwhelmed.
Yes. The US now has more useful idiots and communist subversives than ever before. And the vast unaudited budgets of the US government subsidize all the many rackets of this undercover Comintern that now live here getting rich.
The corruption at the Pentagon is terrifying.
We must always remember that a spy or infiltrator is a secret enemy. He acts as though he is on our side to fool everyone. If a spy is too obvious, he gets hanged. And a spy can be burned by his own side. The problem for us is proof. The problem for the spies is how to mislead everyone without getting executed. You had better believe they are feeling a rope around their necks when they dream. What is dangerous for us is the disinformation that is coming that will discredit patriots as it empowers traitors.
I see what you mean by “infiltrator”. STRANNIK, PILGRIM, R.O., etc…
Interesting how the Midwest is a training ground for communist supporters given most people think of California where in San Francisco according to some stats at the current moment, 60% of inhabitants are of Chinese extracts: Vietnamese, Koreans, Thai, Hmong, etc..
Some Hispanics are communist supporters as well as Whites in America. In the 1970s, there was a massive migration of Turks, Russians, and many communists to South and Central America. Communism is “everywhere” in social media. Pop culture is nothing more than communist propaganda in America.
I chuckle at times in public settings where I see Whites being extra friendly to Blacks, Hispanics, and Chinese extracts because they think “racism” only applies to those “special groups.” I remember when the norm was to have common courtesy to all in public settings. The overall American IQ is honestly not high anymore.
The question is not if the communists will attack the U.S.A., but which states and which month? Will Washington, D.C. be the first city to be attacked?
Anon: This is R.O. What makes you think I’m an infiltrator? Is it because I used to live in San Francisco? Is it because I speak Chinese? Is it because most of the Chinese immigrants I met oppose the CCP and came here to escape from China? That the majority of people I met in China hate the CCP and the PLA but because they are disarmed, they have no way to fight against their tyranny? Is it because I recognize that the CCP can’t send their whole PLA over here because they need to keep some back in China to keep a restive population under their thumb? Have you been reading what I write?
As for your final question, are you not thinking too small? Think like the enemy! If you were Chinese or Russian, would you first attack a single city or state? Or would you send salvoes of nuclear missiles to take out almost simultaneously our land based missiles, our “combat ready” air force bases before they can get their planes in the air, our navy ports with the ships stationed in them, and whatever army and marine bases they can get? Our enemies are not dumb, which option would you take were you they and wanted to conquer the U.S.? Then prepare accordingly.
As for the timing, I expect it this summer.
“discredit patriots as it empowers traitors” is EXACTLY what the entire Government/Media/D.C./ Big Tech has been doing since Trump came along…
Can you blame Patriotic Americans for being confused?
There is no need for either Russia to nuke the US nor for China to invade. There are already plenty of Chinese nationals in the United States, wearing blue helmets in the UN Peace Keeping Force, ready to go door to door in a losing attempt to confiscate firearms. Russia will sue for peace against the US at the UN. Biden will plead no contest, and the United States will become internationalized, with freestuff for all. Just not much of it to go around is all.
RO: your comments attack races, excluding the Chinese race. I believe in protecting the just and punishing the wicked. It appears that you are protecting and making excuses for wickedness.
We are in a state of global turbulence in which the Chinese race be it Vietnamese, Koreans, Thai, Hmong, Mongolian et al are seeking world domination and truth is important to understanding their tactics against the West, not virtual signaling.
No offense to you, but I do not trust what you write.
R.O. has never attacked races. He sometimes comments about the true threat from the Chinese Communist Party.
Cornwall: “RO: your comments attack races, excluding the Chinese race.” What??? Where? Show me one example where I have done what you claim.
Your further comments indicate that YOU are the racist.
Further, it is not the South East Asians who look for world domination, rather the CCP—communists. They are working with other communists world wide of all races to accomplish that goal. Don’t be a racist—focus on our true enemy.
R.O.: The racist one is you, actually.
The entire SE Asian peninsular was never populated with your ilk and belonged to the Khmer Empire, whose race is not of Chinese origin, but native to SE Asia.
Vietnamese, Thai, and Laos were formed as a result of invasion of Chinese (with French assistance). But then do the native brown people matter to you, R.O.? Of course not because you clearly view SE Asia as Chinese.
You thinks it’s okay to be racist to other races except to Chinese extracts.
You couldn’t care about the historical and native culture of those in SE Asia who have been invaded, massacred, and murdered by your ilk.
GREYKNIGHT: you haven’t analyze R.O. well enough. Haven’t you see his comments against Swedes, or Indians?
But then again GREYNIGHT, I don’t blame you for being deceived.
R.O. pretends to be a friend of the West, but is actually a FRIEND OF CHINA. Here we see the DOUBLETHINK and deception at play. And when R.O. is pointed out that he has a BIAS FOR CHINESE EXTRACTS, R.O. naturally uses the race card.
Cornwall: I don’t like what you are doing. Here we have an international enemy that takes men and women, and changes them into monsters and psychopaths. That is just as true in South Africa where they used to “necklace” opponents (do they still do that?), Russia where they torture innocent people and opponents, Cuba, North Korea and most widely known China with its lau gai and murdering people so they can sell their organs. Yet you are trying to divide us by race and ancient history. I deal with today.
BTW, you don’t know which race am I. I prefer it that way.
If I’m so anti-Swedish, why do I support Jeff Nyquist, whose name is so jarringly Swedish (pronounced similar to Nükvist in Sweden) that there’s no question from where his family comes?
You mentioned Mongolian, which shows your ignorance. The Mongolian peoples spread from Korea and Japan to the east, to Turkey in the west, and many countries in between. They are not Chinese. Their languages, while related to each other, are very different from Chinese.
We have an international enemy, and need to have an international opposition to it. There’s no place for racism and dividing by race in this fight.
Hello R.O., I think what Cornwall is questioning is why you are loyal to Chinese people considering the Chinese people are guilty of abuses towards other countries, animals, and the environment. You make them sound like they are good and decent people against the CPP. But don’t the Chinese people make up the CPP and haven’t the Chinese sought the genocide and invasion of other countries even from a historical perspective, looking at the terminology: the Huns? Are they a peaceful and loving people you say they are?
We can simply narrow down the Chinese race question to one very important question:
When did it become racist to defend one’s country from destruction?
I don’t think you can call Brits racist for hating Germans when London was being bombed neither can you call the Greeks racist for hating Turks originating from China/Mongolia for invading Greece.
Jeff has provided to us the facts and evidences of the deliberate release of this Wuhan pandemic to the rest of the world in addition to Chinese motivation desiring American destruction. Some people want to know without bias or favoritism towards the Chinese people, what the Chinese are really up to…
R.O., this is truly is not about you or your love of Chinese. But the greater issue at stake: Chinese hegemony.
I hope this comment doesn’t upset you.
Winifred: your comment didn’t upset me, other than its inaccuracies.
I’m not more loyal to the Chinese people than to any other people. I just have more contacts and information about Chinese people and China than to any other country under communist dictatorship. So I relate what I know.
I never made the claim that the Chinese are more peaceful and loving than any other non-Christian people. Anyone who thinks I have done so has made a logic error, adding to what I said.
To be clear, the Chinese people are being oppressed by the same satanic ideology as have devastated other countries and peoples. That fact doesn’t ennoble the Chinese people as being something special. The CCP, as in all other communist dictatorships, makes up only a small percentage of the population and they oppress the rest.
Finally, I keep warning people to expect a Chinese (CCP/PLA) invasion. This is not because I favor it, but because I want people to be forewarned and ready to repel the invasion. I will do what I can to repel it.
R.O., for what it’s worth, I’ve never taken you to be saying the Chinese are more peaceful than anyone else.
R.O. I doubt you will “repel” those who you called “oppressed.” Thank you for the lip service, though.
Winifred: the CCP won’t send in the civilians, whom they oppress, until after their PLA has pacified our country. The civilians would just get in the way of the PLA. I will do everything I can to keep the PLA (the military branch of the CCP) from pacifying our country.
(The PLA is not the people’s army, rather it is part of the communist party and its main job is to keep the people from being able to revolt against the party.)
Greyknight: when I see your name, I know that the following comment is worth reading. Thanks.
Isnt that right! Global warming (and in the same vein nuclear winter hysteria) is a KGB academic paper to scare the west from industry and arms – one still wielded by Beijing and Putin. Yet Wired magazine has a recent most absurd article stating that Putin’s messaging is collapsing since the Ukraine war, including his making the right believe that global warming is false… wow, just wow. We have gone full circle in bull s.
We see that Putin’s propaganda is so “bad”, that now Global Warming policies will be vindicated, says Wired Magazine… (facepalm). It makes one figure that their intel has at least a two level propaganda campaign: an absurd one in the war in Ukraine and a well deep crafted one at the UN that continues fooling everyone, which is uncanny. Me think thus that these Ukraine blunders are calculated to eventually put the west asleep, redirect and reconsolidate the socialist guns of global warming etc against the American people. The theme of Wired Magazine is still that Russia is not a threat but Global Warming and Trump voters are.
Yes.
You made some great points, Jeff! There is so much disinformation being put forth that it makes a person’s head swim! Reuters and USA Today said the information about biolabs in Ukraine was false, then Victoria Nuland seemed to blow that out of the water. It’s hard to know what to believe, but I totally agree with you that Putin is evil!
These Ukrainian labs are left over from an old Soviet biowar program and we have been paying the scientists so they don’t go to work in Iran and North Korea. But who knows what shenanigans might have been encouraged by corrupt officials working secretly with Moscow. We must be careful about what all this means.
Thank you for speaking balanced truth! I have lived in Ukraine and have top level connections both there and in Russia. The profound ignorance in the West and everyone being an ‘armchair’ expert has me deeply annoyed. Many of the ‘conservative’ voices are parroting the Russia narrative which blows my mind. The Ukrainian people are amazing, determined and fighting for their future. Yesterday I had a brief zoom call with one of my friends who is leading in the ‘resistance’. He told me they are determined to ‘burn Moscow’. From my time living there over years, I will say that so many of them have fought for years to have freedom and a democracy which has eluded them. This fight right now is just a continuation of one that has been going on in their souls for years. I watched with eagerness at the ‘evidence’ Russia was going to present at the UN Security Council meeting (being so disappointed at the conservative media pundits all biting the bioweapons lab narrative by Russia) and it was just awesome to see the council not only shred Russia’s gas lighting, but call them out on their agenda and the fact that they are the leader in all WMD including bioweapons. My heart breaks for the Ukrainian people to have the freedom and dignity they have and are fighting for so diligently.
I am very worried about the Ukrainians, too. They are the one people who could, in effect, save the world from a larger war by beating the Russian Army the hard way —because Russia cannot use nuclear weapons against Ukrainians; and if the Russian Army realizes the truth the Kremlin is doomed. Our best weapon is the truth in the mind of the average Russian. But how does it happen?
That is the $64 Trillion question. Putin is doing all he can to keep the truth form his people. It appwars, however, that some is still filtering through.
There is a new “cyber tool” that some are using to do just that: Squad303
https://www.wsj.com/articles/using-a-new-cyber-tool-westerners-have-been-texting-russians-about-the-war-in-ukraine-11647100803
Why can’t they use nukes vs Ukraine? What about bio chem?
Putin has told his people that the Ukrainians need to be liberated from the evil Americans. You do not use WMDs to liberate people. Those are weapons of extermination. He would be seen as a liar and villain if he used such weapons on the Ukrainian brothers.
Thank you as always for your work, Jeff!
Why can’t the Russians use nuclear or chemical weapons?
The Russian people would not accept that on their brothers. Too risky.
Alex Jones call it, infowars.
Sadly, the Kremlin’s best assets are in the astate department. Lindsey Graham said it well when he said that Biden does not want Putin to lose. Everytime we have the upper hand, the stooges at State give it all away (Talebans, Vietnam rules of engagement, China trade etc).
I still maintain the US claim of the 2014 “coup” was Obama’s “flexibility” that allowed Putin to seize Crimea since the government that signed the Budapest Memorandum no longer existed.
How about the ZH article lamenting how the Ukrainian mess has delayed further “Arms Control Talks” !!??!!!
Catch the AG article on M. Stanton Evans.

https://ia800902.us.archive.org/29/items/pdfy-SYN9t0cHh1aFu8XV/The%20Deliberate%20Dumbing%20Down%20of%20America.pdf
Are the Russians really that incompetent in Ukraine?
Are the Americans really that incompetent in Washington DC?
The answer to both questions is NO. This is all being executed precisely.
The Government that signed the Budapest Memorandum was headed by Yeltsin. In short, the Russia that exists now.
If Putin thought he would be able to reopen the 2014 invasion without consequence, he is quite incompetent.
The Ukrainian Government “no longer existed” after the coup according to Putin!
He is now seeing his lie thrown back in his face with defiance.
Yet all plans do not work out exactly as planned.
I don’t know who said it, but he was right: “No battle plan survives contact with the enemy.” Putin’s problem, that compounds the others, is two fold, a poorly trained and equipped army, and being totally disconnected with the people on the ground in Ukraine. He expected they would fall all over his troops as liberators. Boy, was he wrong.
Murphy’s Law is a very real thing in war.
Mr. Murphy is always along for the ride.
😆
Putin exposed his weakest troops there . He did not go full in like Hitler expecting guaranteed success, he has kept his competent Siberian contingent back and his elite arms in reserve (nonuse of precision weapons, and no antiradar SEAD, just using ground troop attrition to get the SAMs). He probably overestimated a bit, but his was never meant to be a spectacular blitzkrieg. He was prepared for a grinding UFC style ground grapple eventual submission. It is just that while the submission is underway, the little rape victim is feistier than expected, which should eventually make his gopnik thug feast all the better. Communists love and strive on gopnik self degradation, it makes their motives for war and invasion even more acute, Whereas a western prostitute expects out of prostitution glitter and thus eventually commits suicide due to the huge risks she took (risks she would have never assumed to confront), the gopnik without a home, in total autophagy, becomes a dangerous rabbid dog. This is why Stalin kept eating lobster and did not appear to care when people were telling him Hitler was nearing the doors of Moscow. Only the last minute did Stalin get off his butt to organize a counter offensive.

U.S. Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland Admits There Are Biolabs In Ukraine
Post Millenial: BREAKING: Biden official says US working with Ukraine to prevent bio research facilities from falling into Russian hands
“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of.”
On Tuesday, Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland told the Senate that the US is working with Ukraine to protect biological research labs as Russia continues its attacks on the Eastern European nation.
“Ukraine has biological research facilities, which in fact we are now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach,” Nuland told the US Senate Foreign Relations Committee in a hearing.

White House Denies Russian And Chinese Claims That The U.S. Funded Biolabs In Ukraine
Business Insider: White House says Russia’s baseless claim of US having chemical weapons in Ukraine suggests Putin’s forces may ‘possibly use’ them
* Russian officials have baselessly accused the US of running a bio weapons program in Ukraine.
* The White House described the claim as “preposterous” and Russian “disinformation.”
* WH press secretary Jen Psaki said Russia may be setting itself up to use chemical weapons in Ukraine.
Russia’s baseless accusation that the US has chemical weapons in Ukraine could mean the Kremlin is planning to use them, White House press secretary Jen Psaki said on Wednesday.
“We took note of Russia’s false claims about alleged US biological weapons labs and chemical weapons development in Ukraine. We’ve also seen Chinese officials echo these conspiracy theories,” Psaki said in a Twitter thread. “This is preposterous.”
She said the claim was “the kind of disinformation operation we’ve seen repeatedly from the Russians over the years” and “an example of the types of false pretexts we have been warning the Russians would invent.”

Bottom line.
Undersecretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland made it very clear in sworn testimony this week that she was worried that the Russian military may get their hands on the research that was conducted at these labs. She obviously is privy to a lot of information, and I think we all deserve to know what was being done at these labs, and why have these materials not been removed since the start of the invasion.

U.S. Funded Bio-labs In The Ukraine Is A Story that Is Not Going To Go Away
WNU Editor: There is a lot of mix-messaging on this story. On the one hand we have the UN saying the following …. UN says not aware of biological weapons programme in Ukraine (Al Jazeera), and then on the other hand we have this UN agency raising concerns on lethal pathogens in Ukraine …. EXCLUSIVE WHO says it advised Ukraine to destroy pathogens in health labs to prevent disease spread (Reuters).
The official US government policy and the media narrative is that this is all a Russian/Chinese disinformation campaign/conspiracy theories/etc. …. Russia’s bioweapon conspiracy theory finds support in US (AP).
As to what is my take.
I hope the Kremlin is 100% wrong about Slavic DNA tests and bio-warfare experiments being conducted at these labs. And as for these labs. All that I care about is that the focus from the West should not be on placing blame, but instead making sure that all information and bio-materials are collected and burned to the ground, and everything in the vaults are incinerated ASAP.
I watched with great excitement the UN security council meeting yesterday on this. They just smacked Russia and gave stern warnings that they know how they work. They gaslight and blame what they are going to do on others. Truth is no one has more WMD including biological weapons than Russia so it’s ironic. As I understood it, they acknowledged biolabs but not bioweapons labs but then warned Russia that if anything happens in Ukraine it’s on them. I was glad to see Russian gaslighting called out.
The Russians are suffering some unexpected rebuffs. This is encouraging to see. Decent people are outraged. The spies shrink away and must pretend they are outraged too.
Half the World sides with Russia on this. The UN will ultimately put it to a vote. That’s where the media spin bites the dust.
China is the only power that is trying to create a ethnic specific pathogen. Such does not exist now, and if someone thinks they have one, and releases it in the wild, they will find themselves enlightened quite harshly. It is unlikely in the extreme that such a pathogen will remain inside the boundaries that criminal scientists think they set for it. Viruses change much too rapidly to be able to keep them pinned in.
Actually, Israel is supposedly trying to create one.
I was not aware of that.
One retired general has made the prediction that Russia has only about 10 days of resources left to prosecute the war. I’m hoping that’s true.
https://www.foxnews.com/media/russians-are-about-ten-days-away-from-culminating-point-lt-gen-hodges
I think Russia know how to handle bio-weapons as safely as anyone.
As one who has lived in Ukraine and spent an enormous amount of time there, what most people fail to realize is the people themselves. I’ve been across much of the country and have friends and associates across the nation. The truth is that most Ukrainians just want freedom and they have been fighting for it for many years. The current fight is not something new, that is lost in a Western perspective. This is a moment of ongoing culmination for them and their freedom and a real democracy. They have had to fight corrupt politicians, outside forces (especially Russia) among many other things. I agree with Jeff that the Nuland phone call doesn’t have a lot of substance. I’ve walked the square in Kyiv with people who were there in 2014. Over 1 million people came to the square to demand their freedom – you couldn’t fit on a bus or a train for days. That shows you something. I’m sure the US meddled, we always do. But focusing on that or the small Neo Nazi size (we have the same here and wouldn’t want to be characterized with it) is just wrong. This war is a part of an ideology from Putin has that does not fit the narrative for many Russians. It’s personal for him. He’s not acting as a leader but as a thug and a mafia boss. I believe there is tremendous potential for a massive change in Ukraine from this. I also am proud the EU isn’t missing their chance as they did in 2014. Let us support the 35+ million people in Ukraine who have longed to see their dreams come true.
@WhiteGloveWeb In past blogs and videos, Jeff has said that the Russians and the Chinese have been planning to break out of their borders for years. One reason the ground war in Ukraine is dragging on is because it’s too muddy for the Russians to advance or for the Ukrainians to retreat. It will be May before Russia can take the whole country. Which means you have to ask this. Why did Putin decide to invade in February under these ground conditions? Is it because China is going to start their campaign against Taiwan in March? Was that the Feb 4 agreement? Much of our fleet is located in the Mediterranean now so if China takes action against Taiwan soon, if we choose to respond, we will have to literally sail through the Suez canal…hmmm what’s that gonna be like? So, then, you have to ask why is the Biden administration doing what it’s doing? My Answer. They’re not smart enough or prepared enough to do anything else. I am sorry, my Ukrianian friend, this story is playing out like a Greek tragedy.
I watched a man who was the advisor to the Queen for 40 years on Russian geopolitical issues. He corrected my words in saying that Putin is a terrible strategist and an impulsive tactician. I hadn’t thought about that difference but Putin fails at global strategy. However, there is a bizarre element that he has done most of his military actions around the Olympics. I also think he planned on freezing them out as their heating is centralized (former Soviet ideology) which means they can turn off the heat for everyone in Kyiv at any time. Very different from here in the US. But things haven’t gone according to plans. Xi Jinping has his election in August to become leader for life. My guess is he’s lying low until then.
Wait till the ground dries.
The Ukrainian people have fought long and hard, even before the Orange Revolution. Moscow has shown its ruthless determination, but they have had to close off the Internet so the Russian people cannot see the truth. We must never allow the Russian lies to prevail. Never.
Try this on for ” coherence “: the prayer of Saint Ephraim the Syrian:
” O Lord and Master of my life, take from me a spirit of despondency, sloth, love of money and idle talk. But give to me Your servant, a spirit of sober-mindedness, humility, patience and love. Yes O Lord and King, grant me to see my own sins, and not to judge my brother, since You are blessed to the ages Amen!”
He who hates his brother is a murderer, and has no share in eternal life
And Greyknight, you assume a great deal. You think I’m talking about Putin? Its like your liberals with Trump: instead of him you have that cipher like Putin in your head. I’m talking about God being in charge, not man. I’m talking about all our plans and history taking paths that He wishes, not us. But you want this to play out like some Manichean cosmic drama, when it won’t and never will.
I realized you meant more than Putin. But you also defended Putin, and always defend him, regardless of the evidence. You are very subtle, but you lie, Strannik. You are a deceiver.
The spirit of hate should be rebuked, but also the spirit of Untruth.
They are the same.
No. Contempt for the truth is not hatred. It is egotism.
Alas, Strannik is full of lies.
Your hero Putin is an enemy of mankind.
What are you, 12? I have never given indication that Putin is any ” hero” of mine, as I am an unapologetic Monarchist and he is most publicly and emphatically not a Monarchist. Plus he supports continuing abortion legalization. Nor do I support Slavic and Orthodox brethren killing each other, yet i also understand that Anti Russian extremists and terrorists have to be dealt with if the Ukrainian government is unable and unwilling to do so. My position is opposed to yours, as you have been an obvious supporter of Stepan Bandera, but my position is not the ridiculous strawman argumentation that you try to make it to be with your hateful and lunatic rhetoric
A monarchist? We have seen what the Russian monarchy did to the people of the lands it occupied/annexed. What they did to minorities, particularly Jews, is documented. Anti-Russian extremists? The Ukrainian reaction to the continued repression, suppression, and oppression of their people, and interference with the sovereignty of their nation is understandable and expected. Hiding one’s condescending superiority complex, and discriminatory nature behind hypocritical religiosity bears reflection. Luke 18:11:8
Good points, alytus! Now he will attack you as being a Russia hating, Nazi, Banderist for this comment.
Why would Anglo-American imperialism want yet another comprador regime to exploit yet another country? A question too hard to answer for self proclaimed expert on Leninism Jeff Nyquist.
Written like a true communist, Commit.
You said it all!
Hello, here several sincere right-wing bloggers consider Russia the loser in this war, others as a paper bear and others “deceived” also consider Putin a Christian conservative. My question is: is this the moment that Russia and China are preparing to finalize the plan that the KGB defectors denounced and that you have already posted here on the blog in several texts?
It is beginning to look like it.
I heard it said that this batch of international leaders, baring Putin and Xi, is the most inept, historically uninformed and unintelligent (I believe meaning shortsighted, excepting the US VP who actually doesn’t seem too on the ball) group ever in power. What say you? Do you see promise anywhere?
Did you want me to comment on VP Harris’s substance abuse problem?
I really was looking to see if I was missing something or someone. SMH
She is quite a clown. Her cackle needs work.
Hillary seems to have the better cackle.
I am not sure. We need a cackle contest.
It appears to me that she is still smoking pot.
Could be.
Her voice and demeanor signal to me that she’s a regular user, or is permanently damaged by long term use. Generational change is making this increasingly common in our leaders, look at former Mayor Bill de Blasio: it was said he smoked outside of the Gracie Mansion every night, then showed up to work around 10 the next morning. Drug addled communist running the economic and cultural capital of the USA.
Sad
I’ve been binge watching videos of John Mearsheimer, he defends that the Ukraine crisis is US fault
Yes. I have written about him. He is a curious fellow.
He happened to be right on Ukraine, but is clueless otherwise, he believes Russia could side with America against China. He ignores the class factor.
You are right.
COMMIT, in the videos, Mearsheimer spoke favorably of Chinese and blame the West. Perhaps Mearsheimer should read the Chinese general speech posted on Jeff’s blog.
Although, I liked his book: The Israel Lobby and Foreign Policy, I think he might be somewhat naive about the Chinese.
CORNWALL: he is naive, even compared to Jeff, never digs deeper, otherwise he would not survive long in academia. He sees countries as black boxes, ignores the class composition of the elites, ignores world’s division of labour. He is very naive on the so-called Israel lobby as well, yes, powerful lobby centered around certain families that control world’s financial capitalism exists, their direct ancestors started Zionist movement 150 years ago by funding Theodore Herzl and colonization of Palestine. Israel is dear to them, but not the main subject of their lobbying. American Congressmen are pro-Israel because of the fear of Israel’s backers in America and the UK, not because of fear of Israel itself.
COMMIT: He is a reflection of many Americans virtue signaling and placing benevolent values on Chinese people that have a completely contradicting lifestyle, eating habits, and sanitation. Americans are too happy with a narrow view of the romanticized films and media propaganda.
So it doesn’t surprise me one bit that he is naive about Chinese people.
He like Chomsky will be welcoming Chinese soldiers with drinks on the house.
Ashkenazi kowtow to communists whether they be from China or Vietnam and have gifted them access to financial, academic, and political powers, which have resulted in the detriment of world peace.
There are more than 400K Chinese students studying in American schools. No doubt Mearsheimer have befriended them.
Have you read Nathanael Rothchild recent statement regarding the Russian attack backed by the Chinese?
Youtube started pushing that video on me and a yale video claiming that Putin is a creation of the West a couple of months before anyone in the media was talking about a Russian invasion of Ukraine. i often wonder if Amazon best selling trends and youtube algorithm can inadvertently predict global events, i really think they can. but more likely, in this case, YT pushing the vids claiming “this is all America’s fault” is part of the pre-war Russian information battlefield preparations.
Beware narratives that derive from conspiracy theories.
CORNWALL: Zionists don’t kowtow to communists, they are just generally unpatriotic, so they appear to side with enemy, whoever it is. Soviet Zionists acted like American agents, nowadays anti-war protests in Russia are led by Zionists.
There is an inertia to events that, once of sufficient size, takes over completely until the banked violence dissipates across the chaotic debris field. Make no mistake, folks, we are in another of these “episodes”, and we are well beyond the point that cooler heads could prevail, even if they existed. At this point, the relative merits or evils of any of the teams in this Great Game, are irrelevant. Great forces are on the move, once again, and we are all about to be reminded that “we are spirits, not animals”. On this planet, as far back in history as we can be at all confident in our comprehension of, the only game that matters is the Game of Thrones. And this episode, as evidenced by the cascade of event swamping the World Politic since March 2020, can no more be stopped or effectively steered than can an avalanche after it releases. You can’t reason with an avalanche nor can you effectively face it, and understanding the relative virtues or depravities of any individual snow flake in it, is ultimately less than useless. Interesting, to be sure! But of no value. We yearn for the Why and the How, when what we always really need is the What and the When. Unfortunately, we struggle to accept this before first conquering the Why and the How.
“There is no Why. Nothing more will I teach you today.”
The spiritual meaning of war is heroism.
It seems a lot of people in the West are helping Putin. Those initiatives of punishing any Russian who’s living abroad, people pushing hatred on the average Russian, vandalizing Russian-owned businesses, it just plays right into Putin’s discourse that the West is evil and must be purged. I understand some Russians might be KGB assets, but people are not probing connections to the FSB/KGB but rather punishing all Russians for Putin & cronies’ sins. Russians have protested against the war in their home country, which is quite a dangerous thing to do. Instead of judging them all collectively,the West should point at how the honest Russians are also victims of the KGB-led communist dictatorship.
I agree. We know our leaders lack conviction and courage, so would not do anything that will hurt Putin, but help him at every turn it seems.
It seems to me as well that this process of denigrating and punishing average Russian people is an attempt to create/harden Russian resolve against whoever their government designates as enemies.
May I also remind you Mr. Strannik, that the cleanup begins at home (per Our Lord, the log in the eye ). Russia has the largest population of neo-Nazis in the world. Currently, per Deutsche Welle, Jamestown, Israeli papers, and US artcles, Neo-Nazis world wide train in Russia, some for the Russian Nazi battalions, such as Wagner (Putin’s favorite and led by an actual Nazi with SS tattos, Dmitri Utnik). Jamestown has a 2 part article on the including how they venerate and celebrate Hitler. I can provide the articles and research in case you are interested. While Ukraine is the only nation to have a Jewish president, besides Israel. And just FYI, in my city in the US, one of the largest, Russians actively harass, beat up, and threaten Ukrainians, Lithuanians, and others who protest for Ukraine. They damage their cars etc. It happens to my kids at every protest. And its not just in my city.
The comment below directed at Strannik, was one of a two part comment. Only one part is up. Just mentioning this as the comment by itself look odd.
We have to be careful how we behave in this situation. That is why chivalry, decency, and good judgment are needed even toward enemies — because the goal is peace, not extermination. The Russians are human beings. At the end you want to be able to make peace with them. But you must defend, and you must use strategy. None of it is easy.
Tell that to some of your lunatic lying Banderist ” friends ” who honor murderous “heroes ” who killed (usually civilian) not only ” Moskals” but also jews, gypsies, and even Poles-look up the Volyn massacre, where the OUN killed many thousands to help create their ” pure Aryan Ukraine “. These people are monsters as bad as Bolsheviks, and your ideas can easily enable their sick dreams.
I am addressing everyone, and you too. Stop insinuating that Ukraine is a Nazi country.
Here is a story of, if not chivalry, then humanity in a most moving display. Someone close to me, living in Moscow, was sucker punched by a celebrity athlete after crossing a street. A fancy car almost clipped him as it turned the corner in front of him. When the near victim of the auto contact knocked on the darkened window of the car to protest the reckless driving, the door opened and a punch was delivered to the audacious protester. His nose was broken. The victim and the car were immediately surrounded by dozens of concerned passersby, blocking the car from moving, providing handerchiefs to apply to the injury, offering all the assistance they could. By this time it had emerged that the victim was an American. In the flurry of commentary that ensued, it was clear that the Russians were mortified that this had happened to a guest in their country. Although my forebears suffered much in Russia, I have always had a soft spot in my heart for that people because of this episode.
Yes, the Russians are human beings. And it appears that many of them are greatly distressed about what their country is doing to Ukraine.
If we are saved from the worst of a major war, our salvation comes from the Russian people standing up against the Russian state.
I like that Jeff.

We have to be careful how we behave in this situation. That is why chivalry, decency, and good judgment are needed even toward enemies — because the goal is peace, not extermination. The Russians are human beings. At the end you want to be able to make peace with them. But you must defend, and you must use strategy. None of it is easy.
First, Mr. Strannik, the issue began long before Volyn. Every nation is guilty of suppression of minority cultures. The Polish and Ukrainians had been fighting each other over cultural discrimination against the minority in the territory they governed for quite a long time. Poland had begun a Polonization program that the majority Ukrainian population in that territory objected to. Such policies never end well. For every action there is a reaction that is sometimes more than equal. Neither is justifiable. Like Katyn, among others. Considering the “Moskals”, the same applies here. Don’t keep occupying, destroying, GULAGing (happened under the Czars too) and artificially starving a people. Otherwise all that is generated is the desire for justice, revenge, and hatred. The Russian Empire imposed Russification on the minority populations. In the mid 1800’s Lithuanians smuggled books printed in Lithuanian, risking their lives. Pogroms, deporting Jews to the Pale of Settlement, discriminating against the Jews and Roma with various laws, conscription Jews to 25 years, longer than any other ethnic group, the serf system, those were Czarist..
I personally could care less if some Muscovites miss their Big Macs. I also doubt that many of the citizens even know what they are missing. All the sawmills I’ve been to in the US and Canada have toilets. The one I know of in Russia only has a hole in the floor you get to squat over, but the sawmill manager had a nice modern house.
Sure, so having anonymously told a tale of sub human Russian squalor, its morally safe for you and others like you to kill us. Got it.
The poverty of the situation was ascribed to exploitation of the people, not to national inferiority.
The US Constitution gives States the Right to determine Electors as the State decides to do. The Republican and Democratic parties have gone state by state and created a two party system which employs the use of voting machines designed and distributed by Venezuelan companies. The bugs were first worked out with the fraudulent election of Hugo Chavez.
If the People of the United States, fail to eliminate the Internet voting machines, and re-establish voter registration by US Citizens only, and require proof of citizenship at the polls, in order to vote exclusively on one designated day for an election, then the United States will continue to be criticized by foreigners and Americans alike for being corrupt; and deservedly so.
The original Constitution for the United States of America, along with the original, Bill of Rights, prior to Lincoln’s War, was the best shot people ever had for a decent government. If the people don’t uphold it today, tomorrow is already gone.
No Orange Revolution for us, it seems.
Jeff
“I submit that America’s diplomats lacked the basic competence required to organize a coup in Ukraine.”
You phrased this America’s diplomats lacked competence. However, America Democratic party and the permanent DC state certainly does not lack it.
We have had internal bloodless coups and the overturning of justice multiple times in the US within the last 15 years all with the help of growing monoparty of the Democratic monster and a feckless Republicans. I cite the following: 1. Obama and his birth certificate scandal and the Supreme and Federal Court systems refusing to investigate, weaponizing the IRS against conservatives and Christians; 2. The Obama/Clinton color revolutions imported throughout the middle east setting the region on fire; 3. the entire Trump collusion scandal and the weaponizing of the Intelligence agencies against Trump and private citizens and those associated with Trump; 4. The Nov 3, ’20 open in plain-site election malfeasance and the coverup by the states and Justice dept; 5. the J6 weaponizing and turning freedom of speech and assembly against the citizens of the US and the refusal of republicans to stand against this malfeasance; 6. The unjust and unlawful imprisonment of numerous innocent men and women who participated in J6 events; 7. Our refusal to prosecute Antifa and BLM and Congress’s refusal to list them as Domestic enemies; 8. the entire malevolent covid mandates and the immoral and murderous vxx and their protocols which has maimed or killed millions of individuals or perhaps vastly more around the entire world (these were all pushed by corrupt US scientific agencies and US pharma companies operating all within the approval of the Federal government).
The above items show “the competence” of whom we are dealing with. I am willing to assent that the above shows earmarks of communist infiltration into the core power circles of our nation…we are in trouble. Thanks Jeff.
Oh yes, there is massive communist influence; and some of them are very competent. Domestically, it is not necessarily that the Democratic operatives are so magnificent. The Republicans are incompetent. When you have corrupted the Republican side, it is easy to win.
Jeff, over the last couple of weeks i have noticed the symbol Z all over the UKR war zone. Large white Z’s are marking Russian military vehicles (along with other capital letters such as O, X, V, but the Z seems to be more frequent)—whats strange is the Z letter is not in russian alphabet according to what I read. And there is the brazen Z symbol for AZOV Battalian Group in eastern UKR that is similar in feel to the SS Schutzstaffel symbol. Then there is the Z in Zelinskyy’s name itself. Is this a bizarre coincidence or is there is something else going on? Thank you.
Yes it is Latin, but Russians use Latin symbols as we use Greek symbols.
Z probably stands for zapad, means west. Zelensky’s name is also written in Cyrillic btw.
The Z designates the vehicles that are assigned to the “special operation.” The U.S. does a similar thing when units are sent into an operation.
Clearly, it’s a trademark violation of the most blatant kind. Zorro should sue. Actually, I was wondering about that myself and if it were being used to denote their participation in the invasion as I’ve seen all sorts of speculation about it online.
Sure, but also a message to the West: ” Za Podremu”, ” for victory “
The Azov symbol is not a Z. Its an N and an I. For the Ukrainian words for National Idea, glory to the nation. Peter the Great eliminated the N from the ukrainian alphabet along with others to bring the Ukrianian alphabet in line with the russian alphabet, Russification. Ukrainians have taken it back.
Not good:
Putin offers battle-hardened fighters from the Middle East up to $3,000 a month to reinforce Russia’s invasion of Ukraine

That’s what you do when you need experienced troops.
Sam Faddis of And Magazine, suggested in an article linked below that Ukraine should consider negotiating a peace deal with Russia, using Russia’s 5 conditions as a starting point, the main ones being, recognizing Crimea as Russian territory, & Donbas and Lugansk as independent states (if there is such a thing). Do you see this as something Ukraine should do, to end the war? Not that Russia won’t invade again later, no matter what agreements it might sign to the contrary. But should Ukraine do this to end the war for now? Thanks!
https://andmagazine.substack.com/p/give-putin-an-off-ramp?token=eyJ1c2VyX2lkIjozOTgzMDczOCwicG9zdF9pZCI6NTAwODE1NDIsIl8iOiJOV2lvUCIsImlhdCI6MTY0NzExODYyNCwiZXhwIjoxNjQ3MTIyMjI0LCJpc3MiOiJwdWItNzQ2NTgwIiwic3ViIjoicG9zdC1yZWFjdGlvbiJ9.yUwMOyF0uAt6DCyu0tPEYxsq8C6lHVPYCEcAPduwfF8&s=r
The problem with Sam’s advice is that Putin has one objective, and that objective was stated in the speech Putin gave prior to the invasion. Ukraine is part of the Soviet Union and Putin says the breakup of the Soviet Union was illegal. As soon as Putin said that, he was saying that his country is the USSR and his invasion is to put the USSR back into place. Putin did not go in to take Donetsk and Luhansk, as one might think. He went immediately to take Kiev. As for the negotiations, the Russians are demanding that the Ukrainians disarm. The Russians will not budge on this. Understandably, laying down your arms is surrender. With the treaty-breaking Kremlin on the other side, you know that the Russian side will not keep any agreement once you are disarmed. Look at the Budapest memorandum. Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons. Do you think this would be happening if they kept them? Moscow has already broken its word. In essence, you cannot negotiate with treaty-breakers unless you are negotiating from strength. In this case, the Ukrainians might as well fight to the end. What do they have to lose? And since Putin is a totalitarian leader, his objectives are TOTAL. He wants the whole of Ukraine. Sam is thinking constructively, but he is assuming that Putin is “looking for an off ramp.” I do not believe this to be the case. Sam is not taking the nature of the Russian regime into account.
Be that though it may, Putin expelled the second highest ranking US ambassador to Russia, along with a letter posted in comments a few articles back, here. In that letter, Putin stated that he had repeatedly been ignored, and then he reiterated his concerns and/or, demands, which he had patiently that far, not enforced. He had been cautioning Ukraine to cease and desist attacking ethnic Russian Ukrainian citizens.
He waited until Russia became rotating chair of the UN Security Council, to unilaterally recognize, Donetsk and Luhansk and independent republics, which in turn, invited in Russian peace keepers. It was not until Ukraine attacked the peace keepers, that Putin invaded Ukraine.
If the Soviet Union never really dissolved, then it would follow that Zelensky is a Soviet, and the meeting he had with Putin, prior to the invasion, was scripting the fake war, which brings Russian troops to the border of NATO, and away from Russia.
The latest is, that Russia at the UN has presented evidence of US bio warfare labs in Ukraine, now under Russian occupation. This is a violation of international law. What is the penalty if the US is convicted? With the United States, become internationalized, under UN stewardship?
Frank, What were the penalties for China violating said international law in regards to bio warfare labs?
This is not a violation of international law. It is perfectly legal to do biological research. These labs were part of Biopreparat under the Soviet period. We took them over and financed them at the end of the Cold War, so the scientists would not go to North Korea and Iran to make weapons. The Russians are now turning this into an allegation. Typical Russian lies. Why would we build weapons in a country that is crawling with KGB? It’s too stupid, really. As for as Zelensky being Soviet, I hate to break this to you, but this war is a Soviet civil war and it is as real as a heart attack. The Ukrainians have had enough.
Frank, what you have posted is Russian lies. Ukraine did not attack anyone in the Donbas and OSCE repeated verified that Ukraine did not have heavy weapons within range of the line of contact to commit the attacks. In short, they were Russian false flags. The rate at which those incidents increased in frequency was predictable as Putin had already telegraphed his intentions for anyone paying attention.
Zelensky is not a Soviet, but Putin sure is. He is a fascist through and through, and he is oppressing his own countrymen. It is hypocritical for him to complain Ukrainians doing the stuff he has been doing himself, and then oppress his own people. He is protecting no one, except, maybe his own position as the chief corruptocrat of Russia.
News video ostensibly from war zones in Ukraine, as been found to have been old footage from China, and victims of bomb blasts, have turned out to be an Instagram artist, seen to be walking away after posing. Reports of victims have not been verified, and damage has mostly been to deserted buildings.
This war is as phony as the Covid Live Exercise. Touché.
The high price of oil benefits Russia along with the rest of OPEC, Ukraine, British Petroleum, and Chevron, equally.
If Biden is a Communist, then he will plead guilty, and hand over administration of the United States, to the United Nations.
Russia Releases Alleged Captured Documents Before UN Special Council Meeting Exposing Evidence of US Military Biolabs in Ukraine (VIDEO)

[ On Thursday, the Gateway Pundit confirmed that there were biolabs in Ukraine, and Hunter Biden’s firm Rosemont Seneca invested in the firms building these labs.
The World Health Organization (WHO) admitted to Reuters on Thursday that they had advised Ukraine to destroy their high-threat pathogens stored in the country’s health laboratories to prevent the spread of any disease.
Then on Friday
Russian Representative to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya accused the United States of testing viral agents in Ukraine during Security Council testimony on Friday.

Yessir. That has been my gut feeling. They might as well fight till the last man standing, because if they lay down their arms, they will surely be imprisoned, tortured, executed, or all three.
Who, Ukrainians or the Bidens, Fauci, Schwab, and Gates?
I was replying to Mr. Nyquist’s remarks further up in the thread. The Ukranians.
China makes allegations against the US at the UN along with others, but evidence supports that they were in on it with Fauci. This could leave Russia the moral high ground. Therefore, he’ll get custody of Ukraine. Putin will probably make Zelensky, Governor of The Ukraine.
Naturally the resultant humanitarian crisis will migrate refugees to Western hosts, embedding Soviet agents supported by generous welfare assistance.
Great entry. I especially like your point about how silly it is for Americans to critique corruption in Ukraine, while they are fighting and dying to throw out enemies, while many Americans sit here and shrug it off as enemies rule us.
The level of corruption in Russia is such it makes Ukraine look honest. Years ago Putin demanded a cut of the action from things his regime had to approve. One writer, who is normally reliable, said he demanded 50%. It is estimated by some sources that Putin has stolen 200+ billion in the time he has been running his operation. Ukraine has, at least, been trying to get a handle on corruption in Ukraine.
Ukrainians need to round up a number of traitors, especially Medvedchuk, and if it looks they are going to lose their country, execute the lot of them.
One thing I like about the combat is that the Ukrainians have had some good luck in killing some of the commanders. They need to keep that up.
The Russian generals are leading from the front, and that shows they are committed and the leaders on the Russian side are solid. This is how you do it. To win you must have the generals — the division and corps commanders — in the fighting.
Jeff, you mentioned economic fallout. This certainly won’t help. The higher price for transporting goods will be passed on to us, of course:
Global stocks of diesel and other middle distillates have fallen to the lowest seasonal level since 2008, when similar shortages of these transport and industrial fuels helped to propel oil prices to a record high.
Distillate fuel oil inventories in the United States are 30 million barrels (21%) below the pre-pandemic five-year seasonal average and at the lowest level since 2005, the U.S. Energy Information Administration said.
We are going to have critical supply chain problems as the Chinese weigh in and being to play games. We are slipping toward war.
Perhaps an performance evaluation for Russia?

India says it accidentally fired a missile into Pakistan
Story by Reuters
Updated 12:17 AM ET, Sat March 12, 2022
https://www.cnn.com/2022/03/11/asia/india-pakistan-missile-intl-hnk/index.html
“On 9 March 2022, in the course of a routine maintenance, a technical malfunction led to the accidental firing of a missile,” the Indian Ministry of Defence said
[Pakistani] official said it was possibly a BrahMos missile — a nuclear-capable, land-attack cruise missile jointly developed by Russia and India.
In Shawn Hannity’s interview of Trump last evening, Trump said something to the effect that our nuclear arsenal was built up during his administration and now is very strong. On the one hand, he ought to know, if he was the man in charge. On the other hand, Jeff says our nuclear arsenal is depleted, and I respect Jeff’s knowledge and scholarship. Why is there this discrepancy? Jeff, precisely what evidence have you found that our arsenal is so depleted that we are unready for war? Do you think Trump’s just blowing smoke?
I know you didn’t ask me but I can tell you that Jeff is mostly correct in his assessment of the situation.
I have covered in previous articles the testimony of the head of the Strategic Command. He is the authoritative person on this subject, and he says he desperately needs money to fix our nuclear arsenal. Trump is a politician and takes credit for everything. Do not listen to Trump on this.
I love reading all the tidbits of news like what Gretchen just shared. I found this interview with a journalist still inside Russia quite interesting. Maybe others will as well:
https://www.foxnews.com/world/what-its-like-inside-moscow-reporters-notebook
I read that. I found this statement interesting:
He also believes that the political consequences of the war could mean the dissolution of Russia.
“Or, let’s say, the USSR. You feel like in 1991 the USSR was just wiped off the map, the political map, but I feel like it was just an illusion. I feel like in these 30 years the USSR in form of the Russian Federation was still alive. It’s still alive.”
He is very perceptive!
Apparently a ballistic missile attack has taken place on the U.S. consulate in Erbil (Iraq). The missiles were fired from Tabriz, Iran. Oh my!
Fars News Agency, which is managed by Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), appeared to link the firing of the missiles to the killing of Qassem Soleimani, the head of the IRGC-Quds Force, in 2020.
“Missiles hit the ‘Israeli-American’ bases at 01:20 local time; ‘that’s not a coincidence’. IRGC-QF chief Soleimani was killed in #Iraq on 7Jan20—01:20 Iraq time. #Iran,” Fars News wrote in a Twitter post, per a translation via journalist Khosro Kalbasi.
Jason Brodsky, policy director at United Against Nuclear Iran, wrote on Twitter: “The Soleimani factor in the #Erbil attack tonight is important. Soleimani’s birthday was on March 11, pro-IRGC media are boasting the attack tonight occurred at same time of his death at 1:20 AM, the revenge attack on 01/08/20 also occurred at 1:20 AM.
Thank you for this post Jeff. Your thoughts mirror those I have been having as of late, so it seems rather timely. As usual, I am late to the party again, so my comments will do little to contribute to the excellent conversation that has already taken place here.
I would however like to make one comment in regard to the disinformation campaigns of our enemies. I told a friend recently that we need to be very careful in sharing divisive messages we find on the internet. Confirmation bias is a real thing that all of us are susceptible to and we need to look at reports and claims with a healthy bit ofskepticism, so that we don’t unwittingly help those who are undermining our country, and making us less able to mount an effective opposition to the acts of aggression planned and currently being executed by the Kremlin and Beijing.
I really suspect that what is brewing here is a showdown between the western democracies and the totalitarian regimes of the east. Those who have the habit of “blame America first” need to do some real soul searching and decide which side they are going to take when the shooting breaks out. America, for all its faults and short comings is still a vastly superior place to the regimes of the eastern hemisphere.
We must preserve our sense of proportion. Yes.
This is correct. The Iranians are stirring.
Is the narrative that is religiously believed and touted by many conservatives and libertarians, that the Obama admin via Victoria Nuland, George Soros along with various NGOs caused the ouster of Yanukovich strictly based on their public statements such as the one you led this article with? In other words, there is no real evidence or basis for this claim, correct? I ask bc there is this sense that to be against Putin or Russia is to be aligned with the liberal globalist establishment, like WEF, or some globalist entity. Is this perception a result of active measures? E.g., it’s often repeated that the same entities saying to be for Ukraine freedom and against Russia’s invasion are the same ones that perpetrated COVID tyranny–masks enforcement, unlawful lockdowns, business closers, vax mandates. Thanks!
If I am against X then you ask if I am for Y. There is no logical reason this would be the case.
Yes, it represents a fallacious association in my view, since these oppressive measures — mask mandates, vax mandates, lockdowns, etc — were equally enforced in Russia and elsewhere so far as I know. I know, for example, in Venezuela the measures were even more extreme such as imposing curfews and forcing those caught out after the curfew to render service in area hospitals to help fight the “pandemic.” At least, so I’ve been told by people that live in that country.
“Americans who embrace Russian propaganda seem to think that if American politicians lie, then Russian politicians must be truthful. The corollary of this error follows: That if America is led by bad men, then Vladimir Putin is a good man.” This is a logical fallacy. This fallacy is related to “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” when the truth is that the enemy of my enemy may still also be my enemy. Likewise Vladimir Putin is an evil man independent of how bad America’s leaders may be.
That many “conservatives” fall for such a simple logical fallacy is scary, in that it hinders them from recognizing who is a true enemy. It also shows shallowness of thought—what else do they have wrong? Such “conservatives” then go around misleading others.
Thanks, Jeff, for including that as a warning against following Russian propaganda.
Not only is it a logical fallacy, it is simply not true that Putin is a “conservative” defender of tradition. Communism is, first and foremost, a tradition-wrecking ideology and Putin has said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the “greatest geopolitical catastrophe” of the previous century. Additionally, the rise of communism in the previous century in Russia essentially caused the Russian Orthodox Church to splinter and divide — the official church, the catacomb Church and the different jurisdictions abroad such as ROCOR, etc.. Thus, Putin as a communist, is by definition opposed to tradition, since the communists consider religion and tradition to be oppressive structures used to maintain the status quo of class divisions and oppression of the proletariat. Unfortunately, there are many media pundits embedded in the “conservative” media that promote these unfounded characterizations of Putin, selectively emphasizing some facts while completely ignoring others.
Off topic: I’ve been sitting on it for too long astounded by the media pundit’s inability to put the pieces of the puzzle together on the origins of Covid 19 until very recently but if you can, see if you can get a copy of the last ever issue of Eye Spy Magazine, “the China Conspiracy” issue. They laid out the entire case against China in Feb-Apr 2020 based on official US Government sources revealing sources and methods as a matter of “substantial public interest”. immediately after publishing this issue the magazine folded without explanation or refunds.
This is interesting. Can you summarize what the articles says in more detail?

Eye Spy Magazine Issue 128 Back Issue
First published in the UK, May 2001, Eye Spy Intelligence Magazine is the world’s only newsstand publication dedicated to espionage and intelligence. Described as the bridge between ‘officialdom’ and the public, Eye Spy is extremely popular with those who work in intelligence, security, defence and specialist wings of the armed forces. It is subscribed to by hundreds of official intelligence agencies, government training academies, military forces and security colleges throughout the world.
However, its non-political – visual editorial and easy-reading style ‘demystifies’ the intelligence subject, making it equally as popular with people from all walks of life.
Eye Spy provides a certain type of information that is not found in any other publication. Readers are assured they will always find something of interest, whether it’s the inside story of a lengthy government surveillance operation, an interview with a CIA polygraph examiner, MI6’s role behind the assassination of Rasputin, or the tradecraft used by those who ply their trade in the world’s second oldest profession.

The most interesting parts of the China issue (correction: 2nd from last issue) involve the NCMI report that cited satellite and traffic patterns as well as OSINT analysis pointing to WIV in Nov 2019. also, highly significant is the commentary on Professor Shi Zhengli, purportedly from a Chinese jail cell, if memory serves me correctly. After a stint in a Chinese jail, Shi is on record in other media sources making jingoistic/duress sounding statements like “i wish people [saying there was a lab leak] would shut their stinking mouths.

Maj Murphy’s testimony names the WIV employees behind the research while also providing salary data. Also of note in the DoD IG Report is the a) the existing ability to deploy contageous respiratory vaccines, skin contact vaccines, and edible vaccines b) the Covid 19 causing virus was ostensibly developed as an attempt to create a bat vaccine. c) Maj Murphy speculates that the virus might have served the dual purpose of culling the infirm. d) Peter Dasik’s initial “gain of function proposal” to DARPA was rejected on ethical grounds then moved to China to negate safety concerns.

Never let the facts get in the way of a good story…
The propaganda pantomime has moved on from the plandemic to crimson pastures, with an identical MO.
I’m sure if there were any concrete facts to present in support of this desperate narrative they would have been force fed ad nauseum, but instead we have misappropriated fluff (aka wag the dog), appeal to authority, emotional appeals and concealed quantification.
“The airstrike on a Ukrainian airbase Sunday occurred just 13 miles from the Polish border, marking the closest the conflict has come to a NATO ally.”
Russia is obviously trying to draw others into the war. 🙁
Yes, that’s my impression, as well. Also, one American journalist has been killed and another injured further exacerbating the overall situation.
It’s very sad. It was clear he was a journalist/peacekeeper but they didn’t care.
Do you remember your article from last year about prohecies? And the battle in Galicien before the third world war? Can you do a new interview with the author?
Yes. I talk to him regularly about this. He is concerned that these predictions are coming true.
What about you? Do you believe this prohecies are true?
I only know that there are several seers whose prophecies are very similar. I do not “believe” in the sense most people would use that word. Such things are not entirely straightforward and there are absurd aspects to the predictions that almost certainly will not happen. Some of these people were famous for their psychic abilities. One must always treat such things with reserve. But some seers get hits.
It’s interesting to look back at it:
https://jrnyquist.blog/2021/05/12/of-miracles-seers-and-auspices/
we are all ears
What do you think about the prophecies/visions of Dumitru Duduman, the Romanian who lived under communism and handed out Bibles to people there and later claimed to have a vision in which he saw American cities being bombed? He also mentioned a conflict between the government and people in the midwestern part of the US going on simultaneously (or something to that effect). I may be remembering incorrectly as I saw him give a presentation on video many years ago, but I believe that was the gist of his message. I was just curious as his presentations were circulating on the big video hosting platforms several years ago.
His message is disturbingly close to what we see now.
Yes, I agree. So far as I could tell, he was a very genuine individual who seemed to not have ulterior motives. I believe his grandson — can’t remember the name at the moment — has continued his ministry of making Bibles available to Romanians.
The time frames of some of his prophecies have been totally busted. While I don’t doubt his sincerity, he was, after all, terribly tortured by the regime for his testimony, the spec of a prophet of God was not fulfilled in him. A prophet of God does not merely have a good record of accuracy. The record of such a man will be perfect.
Do you known the author Stephan Berndt?
No.
Could you do a new interview with him about the time the world war would start?
In Europe the war starts in August, according to the various prophecies. In North America there is an unclear time line regarding China.
I think about the video from Alex Jones from 2013 with Joel Skousen who warned about the third world war. He said that the war should start long ago but the they had seriuos problems, like the chinese with aircraft carriers. I think the war start next year, they need a year more to defeat the ukraine and they need more trouble in the western countries.
The United Staates should divide in many parts after the wolrd war. After a revolution after the war as an American have you a problem with this prophecy?
If it happens, it happens.
Read that May interview – Thanks for posting @PrayingMonk. Sounds a lot like the third secret of Fatima.
You’re welcome. It’s praying in ok (Oklahoma) 🙂
Averyleather, what was the third secret of Fatima? It was supposed to be opened by the pope in 1960, but I understood that it was never revealed.
Today is 3/13. Not quite, Pi.
