This is a stab in the back.
Vladimir Putin
In a speech earlier today, Russian President Vladimir Putin acknowledged that a mutiny was underway against the Russian state. He described it “as an attempt to subvert us from the inside.” He called it “treason in the face of those who are fighting on the front.” For many Russians, however, the real treason is that committed by Vladimir Putin, who lied to the Russian people about Ukraine needing to be liberated from NATO-controlled Nazis. The real treason happened when Putin, contrary to international law, committed Russia’s armed forces to an appalling act of military aggression that has resulted in hundreds of thousands of Russian dead and wounded. Whole cities and towns have been reduced to rubble because of an imaginary threat from imaginary Nazis. The mutiny of which Putin spoke, was undertaken by Mr. Prigozhin of the Wagner Group (mercenaries fighting under the Russian flag). According to Prigozhin, Russia is bombing Ukrainian civilians. According to Prigozhin, all of Putin’s justifications for the war are lies.
Putin’s government is not the victim of aggression from abroad. He is facing an uprising of his own soldiers, of his own generals, because of his wanton disregard for his soldier’s welfare. Late yesterday the Wagner mercenaries crossed from Ukraine into Russia and captured the city of Rostov, and the headquarters of Russia’s southern armies. Analysis suggests that Wagner troops could not have captured Rostov and the military district headquarters without help from generals inside the army. At the very least, regular Army generals are standing aside and allowing the Wagner mercenaries to establish a base of operations from which to strike toward Moscow. This base effectively controls the hub of all communications in the south of Russia.
Two columns of rebel troops, estimated to be 105 miles long, have been driving toward Moscow from the south during the last 16 hours. As of this writing, these motorized columns (including tanks loaded onto tank carriers) have halted their advance south of Moscow for some kind of negotiation. It is reported that the Russian elite has been fleeing Moscow, that the dictator of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko, has fled his capital (Minsk) in favor of Turkey (i.e., his presidential plane has made something of an improptu landing in Turkey). There is also a rumor that Putin has fled Moscow for St. Petersburg. The UK Independent reported a claim from the Russian Federation government that Putin has not fled Moscow. However, one of Putin’s presidential planes took off from Moscow at 2:15 pm local time. Then, according to the Independent “Less than half an hour later, it went off radar about 150 kilometers from Putin’s official residence.”
Today it is reported that Russia’s deputy Prime Minister, Denis Manturov, has left Russia for Turkey. At the same time, Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Russian Security Council, has reportedly been left in charge of Moscow. The rebel troops are said to be in Moscow Oblast, the lead column having crossed over. Prigozhin has publicly stated, “All of us are ready to die. All 25,000, and then another 25,000.” He added, “We are dying for the Russian people…. Putin made the wrong choice. All the worse for him. Soon we will have a new president.”
On his side, Putin has called this revolt “treason,” comparing it to the events that overthrow the Tsar in February (old calendar) 1917. “We are fighting against anarchy and capitulation,” said Putin in a speech earlier today. “This internal mutiny is a mortal blow to us. It is a blow to our people as a whole, and measures will be very hard.”
For Putin to say this is a “mortal blow” is hardly trivial. If this translation is correct, he is admitting that this might be the end of his regime. “As the commander and chief … I am doing everything to repel this attack.”
It seems, to the contrary, that Putin has done almost nothing to repel the advance of Prigozhin’s troops. This suggests a certain helplessness. It suggests a demonstration, made by others, of his helplessness. How, indeed, did Prigozhin’s troops get so far on an open highway without any serious attempt to stop them? (It is reported that one helicopter gunship tried to intervene, but was shot down). And yet, Prigozhin has supposedly agreed to turn his troops around and return to base.
It almost seems that Prigozhin’s mutiny is some kind of demonstration, supported by other elements in the Russian military. We might ask, “To what end? To stop the war?” Or maybe, to stop Putin from using nuclear weapons that are being sent to Belarus. What actually triggered this mutiny? Was it the case of a dictator failing to listen to his generals, so the generals made a demonstration?
It is alleged that the Russian air force was ordered to strike the rebel columns heading to Moscow, but they refused. Why was there no air strike? Where is Defense Minister Sergie Shoigu? Where is the Chief of the General Staff, Valery Gerasimov? And now, two hours ago, Mr. Prigozhin has agreed to return his troops to base. How can that be? They all just turn around and go home? All is forgiven?
Was Prigozhin’s public antagonism against Shoigu a ruse to hide a larger conspiracy? Has Putin been effectively neutered? Was there a secret negotiation to stop a worse set of events from being unleashed? Will Russia be offering an olive branch to Ukraine in the coming days?
Stay tuned.

Here’s the full video of Koffler’s remarks. I may have missed it, but I’m not sure I heard that exact quote (from above):
https://www.foxnews.com/video/6330041684112
Yes. Koffler clearly says that Putin was panicking. I agree with her assessment. Putin’s speech had mistakes in it, which one would only make out of fear and genuine anger. Putin hides his feelings, but the words he spoke were very representative of deeper feelings. Putin believed himself to be at risk, and this was strongly conveyed. One cannot then say that he was behind it himself. Someone was doing it to him. Once again the question is, “Who”? Some clique within the secret structures of the state, within the army or FSB or hidden CPSU structures.
Putin stated quite candidly a few years ago, that he has to maintain power or else “They” will kill him.
Re: Elon Musk.
For those not aware of what he is, he is a con man and a Russian shill. I can prove both of these statements beyond any reasonable or even unreasonable doubt.
His earliest history per his father (who is another con man type) has him bullying a child mercilessly over the fact that child’s father had committed suicide. The child reacted by shoving Elon down a flight of stairs, an event that put him in the hospital but did not correct his behavior.
Witnesses have him slapping his brother Kimbal around at his first fraudulent company, Zip21, bouts of abuse that had to be broken up by others. Zip21 was a simple directory website which in those days could be sold far beyond their real value, hence the appeal to the Musk family. Elon conned his investors by showing them a fake server room where he claimed he ran his state of the art website. As it happened, the website ran off a regular computer, and it was so poorly designed that investors had to hire people to completely rebuild it. Apparently Elon was so offended by this he made the employees’ lives miserable and had to be pushed out from control of the company by the Board.
From that point forward, Elon has had a history of fraud, incompetence and sadistic abuse at every company he has bought himself into or created. To summarize:
Multiple reports from board members, employees and victims stating Elon berates and fires innocent people out of pleasure, not necessity, even going so far as inventing reasons to fire someone.
Elon obsessively reading Twitter and calling the employers of people who critiqued Tesla.
Elon filing false police reports or making false claims against whistle-blowers or independent bloggers who reveal embarrassing things about Tesla.
Employees passing out, getting mangled, and on at least one occasion, dropping dead of heat exhaustion due to poor working conditions. Elon reports none of these as required by law to the appropriate agencies.
Blatant disregard of rules and regulations, such as using unlicensed plumbers to build unapproved bathrooms at Twitter HQ, or Elon’s blatant disregard of the Boca Chica protected wildlife habitat.
Elon promising 100% investment returns in a year with robotaxis that’ll come out that year (2017? But might have been 2019) that will be capable of driving from LA to NY without driver assistance. So better buy now. Elon would go on to make this promise with high confidence every year thereafter and especially when stocks were going down.
Elon produced a fake Tesla video purporting to show perfect driving from the automated system. Under deposition, a Tesla employee admitted it crashed multiple times and that it was Elon who directed this should be concealed.
Elon showing off fake, non-existant solar panels as if they were real during a 2017 presentation. This fraud was in itself part of a larger fraud to justify Tesla buying out the bankrupt Solar City.
Advertising a state of the art hyperloop system with Tesla pods in Vegas. Instead builds a claustrophobic tunnel system with LED lights, no emergency exists, using regular tesla cars and drivers, which cost Vegas millions of dollars and meets none of the requirements laid out in the deal. Vegas responds by ordering even more of the same.
I think this history is sufficient for now to show his character, but the behavior is constant and appalling at his every company. This is just the tip of the iceberg.
Elon’s more overt Russian shill behavior accelerated after the loss of his subsidies (the only thing making Starlink profitable) in 2022 of about 900 million. I believe Elon made a show of donating starlink systems to Ukraine in order to pressure the government to let him keep those subsidies. This is just my speculation though. Thereafter, Elon began cracking down on starlink in Ukraine. He geolocked his systems without warning so they could not work on Russian occupied territory during the midst of the Kherson offensive. I recall reading Ukrainian reports that this costed lives. Later he banned all use of the systems for military purposes, claiming that had been the agreement from the start. Thus drones and such were blocked off the system.
During this period Elon repeatedly began “promoting characters like the aforementioned Kim Dotcom, the legendary genius who goes by the name Catturd, and other grifters and freaks that were now allowed to run rampant on Twitter.
David Sacks, a minion of Musk, one he’s even reportedly abused but is so slavish he takes it, daily attacks Ukraine and repeats Russian propaganda, which Elon promotes on his website.
Elon meanwhile tends to say nothing of substance, until he begins making infantile memes repeating the “psy ops” claims of the past 24 hours, or when he says Taiwan becoming part of China has an inevitable ring to it, or that Ukraine should accept a peace deal (in Russia’s favor).
Anti-conservative censorship is one thing. Handing twiiter over to an army of Russian and Chinese propagandists is another, which is exactly what has occurred.
Elon removed all state media warnings off of Chinese propaganda accounts. Bot accounts with bot followers in the thousands with blue checkmarks get priority in Twitter’s new algorithm.
Grifters and bitcoin fraudsters are now a prominent part of the website, their shows in “Twitter Spaces” advertised for all to see, and each one of them is Pro-Russian.
Elon most likely has financial incentives to do these things, but he also seems ideologically aligned with fringe Putinist politics.
Interesting thread on Elon Musk’s background and how he changed Twitter. Part 2 promises to focus on Elon’s comments on the Russo-Ukrainian War and promotion of pro-Kremlin narratives.

Is that Twitter critic of Musk a wokemonster?
“Is that Twitter critic of Musk a wokemonster?”
Well, he does seem to approve of Soros’s philanthropy. I’ll be interested to see what evidence he provides in the 2nd part.
He has a site that analyzes Russian propaganda. He also has writeups of actors and prominent who are spreading Russian disinformation (sadly he includes Trump in that list, so some of what he says should be taken with a grain of salt). Some familiar names include Tulsi Gabbard, Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon, QAnon, Russell Brand and also surprisingly names one the left like Gerhard Schroeder, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Seymour Hersh and Caleb Maupin. There’s quite a lot of names and organizations. There’s even a piece on Lyndon LaRouche!

Is there documenation showing all this?
While solipsist Putin hides in his palace plotting the destruction of the dollar, Wagner is organizing a mutiny in Russia with tanks almost entering Moscow. Quite funny to think about it..
Very interesting that there were mistakes in his speech. Also saw this just now:
“Russian agents’ threat to family made Prigozhin call off Moscow advance”
https://archive.is/2023.06.25-205518/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2023/06/25/yevgeny-prigozhin-moscow-advance-putin-threat-wagner-family/
“The system itself is failing as the war goes badly.”
Found on Claire Berlinski’s blog: “Russia: a riddle wrapped in an enigma eaten by a retarded bear.”
Accompanied by a hilarious close-up of the bear in question.
Offered for a little comic relief in nerve-wracking circumstances.
Clare has some sober analysis in her piece. She is a liberal optimist, however, where I am not. She does not recognize that communist structures underlie the Putin regime. She does not emphasize Russia’s coordination with the communist world. Being brilliant, however, she has many interesting things to say.
I know what you mean. Dr. John Lamont, a very gifted (lay) theologian and philosopher, has deplored the support of much of the traditional Catholic arena for Russia; he is close to a lone voice. However, he suffers from the same blind spot.

(The title is the only place where the c and m words are used. Not sure he provided the title.)
Interesting read. I gather he supported Putin at one time, but his eyes were opened by the invasion.
JEFF, you and I have known each other I’ll be at long distance wise for nearly 22 years and I have only seen maybe once or twice what do you mean completely wrong about something on the Geo political stages and I’m afraid that you have it of what has happened over the weekend and will it really means has went over your head in other words. Can you not see the forest because of the trees or can you not see the trees because of the forest? I have access to a lot more than you think with the information I can research and take it in. The info that I have reviewed just since the last several days is revealing a very dark picture. If I had the time to post a way lot more of this stuff if I could, I would.
I told you recently what my ultimate theory is; this was before what happened this weekend is that everything is set to go down overnight that could very well live in infamy 7-11-2023. I believe Putin or whoever is really in charge in Russia has already decided with the plans that they are going to conduct a decapitation strike of each and every country in the political and military leadership at the NATO summit in villainess in the capital of Lithuania. The NATO meeting site is only 33 miles from the Belarus border. It’s 50-50 if it will be a nuclear strike or conventional strike with a major missile swarm. It would take around under thirty seconds for missiles to reach from Belarus airspace. German officials publicly shared at the start of the month that they have a level of fear of this, which why they move two of their Patriot missile batteries, one from Poland and one from the Czech Republic.
Russia will also likely hit in the first wave strike nine of the 11 NATO command centers in Europe or US: only two that will not be initially is a minor base in Portugal that has no real value, and the only major base they spare is the NATO Supreme Allied Command Transformation Headquarters in Norfolk, Virginia. That would be a nuclear strike in the second wave, since a conventional missiles attack would useless that if that type happened, we would hit back with some type of a singular nuclear retaliation anyway.
Does anybody believe that the impending 47th President of the United States has any bit of fortitude to lead and wage the onset of a global world war??!!
I have written, many times, that a world war can begin any day now — especially as China and Russia have long intended to turn the tables. But I do not make specific predictions about dates because that’s not a credible way to proceed. Why? Because things are changing as we speak and the truth of recent events is often different than we are led to believe. Analysts rely on correct general knowledge to judge particulars.
All that being said, I have underscored Yuri Feltshinsky’s allegations that Putin is planning a nuclear strike on Poland and Lithuania in July. Many have discounted Fektshinsky’s warning, but I am intrigued by it. This may or may not be the key to what we just saw, and it relates to what you just pointed out — but not in the way you think. Regarding the mutiny, I have offered some conjecture based on the ever-shifting “facts” surrounding this mutiny. I have said my comments are suspicions only and not beliefs. Any number of things may be happening here and we should be open-minded regarding the bizarre adventure of Mr. Prigozhin. In this mix I look to the precedent of Stalin planning World War III in 1953, and Edvard Radzinzky’s revelations that Stalin was murdered by his colleagues to prevent that war. Michael Korda speculated about this decades ago in his Stalin biography, and I thought Korda was onto something. Are the lead communist bloc powers plotting to strike us? I have been saying this was their plan for over three decades. Can they carry this plan out? So far they have stumbled badly, and the mutiny may be evidence that the plan is faltering. Will they still carry it out? If the soldier’s ordered to fire the weapons do not mutiny, such orders would be followed.
But there is another caveat: Soviet military strategy underscores the political nature of all wars, especially nuclear war. Are political conditions in Russia the right conditions for beginning such a war? Objectively, no. Would the order be given anyway. Possibly, but at great risk to those issuing the order. Putin’s authority has just now been weakened by soldiers who disobeyed. This cuts two ways, but it cuts against a strike order more than it cuts for the success of such an order. In the mind of the communist strategists, can they safely proceed to nuclear war? Objectively, no. Can they nonetheless commit attacks that will turn their own people against them? They have always had this option.
Am I completely wrong about this? Well, I am not completely sure about anything when it comes to the weeks ahead, and no one can be sure. I am trying to puzzle out.
Just out of curiosity, could it be that the “who” in this event are the Chinese? Maybe they’ve had enough of Putin and the lack of progress and want him replaced with someone else that can make things happen?
There is no Chinese communist interest in staging this event. Insofar as China is communist, their interest would be in preserving communist control in Russia. Without this they have no real partner in Russia. To mount an insurrection against their ally would be to destabilize their ally. That would be very stupid. The likely source of this is in the army, which sent several helicopter gun ships to stop a division of troops. This response was weak, inadequate, and begs an explanation. Why were no ground forces blocking Prigozhin’s path to Moscow? Why were only police seen preparing defenses in Moscow? In Putin’s speech it seems, to reassure himself, he called all the army commanders. Why? He was worried about their loyalty. He was trying to reassure himself. He was measuring them. In his speech he shifted on his feet every time he said something that was untrue or uncertain in his mind. He suspected a wider conspiracy, and with good reason. China would not have been party to it, though some of his generals might have been involved.
This has always been the conundrum. Sure, Gorbachev told his Congress that Glasnost and Perestroika was for Western consumption only, and that nothing has changed inside government. The Soviet Union no doubt had scenarios that Russia maintains today, but how many Russian politicians and military officers are truly convinced Communists? They have to tow the party line or suffer the consequences.
When it comes right down to it, perhaps they panic and agree to a reason not to follow through for the time being? If Russia were to nuke any other country at all, it would be unwise to expect that they would have to stop at that. Russia would have to be prepared for massive retaliation and in short order.
If Russia uses nukes, they would either have to go full out first strike against mainland United States, or tactical nukes in the Eastern Europe theatre, against all NATO installations simultaneously. If they confine their attack to Eastern Europe, they still need to expect massive retaliation, but there is a chance that Biden would not retaliate for that. Especially if he is Communist that Jeff says he is. I don’t believe that Russia would leave that to chance, though.
They do intend to attack us at some point. Any unusual activity on their part craves vigilance.
Where are the Russian and Chinese missile firing subs with their nuclear warheads?
Wade, you always think so highly of yourself, and you’ve been wrong on multiple occasions. We’ll see if you’re correct this time. We won’t have to wait long.
Interesting Wade, thank you. Like you, I have been following Jeff’s work for 20 something years, and have published a few of my own articles covering similar subject matter as Jeff. I read this board off and on, but don’t normally comment.
I followed the events of this weekend as closely as I could, with an open mind and a “wilderness of mirrors mindset.” There are just so many possibilities here, from the mundane to the fantastic (and both must be considered carefully.)
Any way we cut it, this was firstly a high risk operation to everyone involved, even more so if it was a deception (I personally lead towards this.)
I work in Cybersecurity (mainly doing public speaking these days), so I tend to think of (nearly) everything in terms of risk management.
For NATO to place all leadership in one place, 33 miles from Belarus, given the current geopolitical circumstances, is unconscionably stupid. To quote a line from an old comedy movie: “I would sooner endorse a brain surgeon, trying to perform brain surgery upon himself.”
Right or wrong, NATO is using the Ukraine situation to weaken Russia, perhaps to the point that it Balkanizes. If Russia feels that it’s own unity is threatened, behaving as a cornered. injured animal is to be expected. Keep kicking the dog, no matter how docile it will eventually do something to defend itself.
Which leads us to the events of this weekend and the upcoming NATO Summit — I don’t think what you are speculating is crazy. Not at all. If Russia is going to undertake what will arguably be their most dangerous (and risky) military operation in their 1000+ year history, then they are taking a MAJOR risk, which will require careful risk mitigation in advance. If they plan to attack NATO, then the events of this weekend would make a superb diversion to position people and assets.
If Russia launched a warhead of any kind at the NATO summit, it would be one of those actions that would destroy the Russian Federation morally. It would be an assassination directed against leaders from every country in NATO. It would mobilize the people of those countries against Russia in the same way the Pearl Harbor surprise attack mobilized the American people against Japan after December 7, 1941. And nobody in the West, after the crazy antics of Mr. Prigozhin, would believe Putin’s alibi if Mr. Prigozhin’s mercenaries siezed launches and initiated the attack. Furthermore, Mr. Prigozhin has denounced the war in Ukraine, correctly explaining that there are no Nazis in charge of Ukraine, and there is no NATO threat to Russia. He has weakened President Putin’s authority in front of the whole army. If it’s a matter of a Russian military unit, under present circumstances, being ordered to fire a nuclear missile at the NATO summit, the soldiers in question might not carrry it out. Such an order, given by the Kremlin to a military unit, would have to rely on a launcher manned by psychopaths. As for a conventional warhead, the Russian missiles have not been accurate enough to hit a specific building in many of the strikes we are seeing. And the ABM defenses at this meeting have been beefed up. Imagine Russia firing a missile and the missile being shot down. It would be an act of war without any advantage, moral or otherwise. When you analyze all the elements, it would be a pretty crazy move. If you are going to nuke somebody, go after the respective government centers and means of retaliation. While some crazy action is always possible, and anyone can go crazy at any minute, the “opportunity” which seems to present itself in Vilnius would be, in fact, an opportunity for Russian to bury itself. Russia itself would not escape the consequences — economic, military, and moral — of such an action. It’s bad strategy, since war is an extension of politics and this is also bad politics. Under such circumstances, the Russian people might even set their usual passivity aside and hunt down their own government leaders. Putin has already cited the February Revolution of 1917. He is fully aware of what might happen to him if the world descends into chaos.
Isn’t Vilnius the capital of Lithuania? I’m sorry if I sound critical, but how does Lithuania come into the picture? Aren’t you talking about Belarus, and the Ukraine?
Wade thinks Russia will launch a nuclear attack in the NATO summit which will be held at Vilnius on 11-12 July.
I see. I hadn’t heard about that. Thanks.

Havvai’ian King Kamehameha the 1st, called a peace conference to gather the leadership ranks of all ‘da islands. There was a big lodge set up for the group to meet in. As the participants entered, they were politely requested to leave their weapons outside. So, after everyone was seated, waiting for the proceedings to begin, Kamehameha has his forces execute them all. Today, King K is celebrated as the great leader who united the islands.
So glad that Hawaii is under U.S. law and not the rulership of King Kamehameha and his admirers.
“Prigozhin Remains Defiant In First Audio Message Explaining Mutiny”
https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/prigozhin-remains-defiant-first-audio-message-explaining-mutiny
I noticed the little blurb where Prigozhin has been spotted in Minsk. As long as his mercenaries are not in Belarus, we are then not aligning too much with Yuri Felshtinsky prediction of someone siezing the nukes in Belarussia. This is all so wierd, it’s bad when crazy rumors align with even crazier events.
Agreed!
That’s the basketcasery of the Russians… I noticed living among them in Riga (which has a large proportion of displaced Russians), that everything from buying an ice cream to organising a holiday abroad could readily be transformed into a maelstrom of chaos, last minute panic, bickering, backtracking and disorganisation; and I was told this is acknowledged by them and they joke about it. That said, almost all of them I knew were soft hearted too and kindly, once you got past the initial defensive veneer; I dug them out of snow and they did the same for me. Some of the older people would go on about “staryye vremena” (olden times), pining for the USSR, but I think it was not necessarily for the regime, but because in Latvia they are harshly treated with the language police and little things like instructions with medicines and appliances, for example, being written only in the 3 Baltic languages or just Latvian alone; and with restrictions on Russian radio and TV channels since the invasion of Ukraine, more and more elderly monolingual Russians are cut off from their own culture and left feeling alienated and despised. It’s v sad on a simple human level.
Ethnic conflict is sad. Europe has suffered with this for centuries.
Speaking of Latvia again, I check the news there daily and a few weeks ago it was reported that the US is placing radiation detection devices along the border (presumably with Russia and Belarus):
https://www.baltictimes.com/the_u_s__department_of_energy_announced_a__1_3_million_investment_in_strengthening_border_security_and_radiation_detection_in_latvia/
Interesting.
This is from an Israeli minister who has accurate Israel/Mideast geopolitical updates. So, this is out his usual scope, but still his same Israeli sources. Yet another angle of speculation. (Nutshell: Prigozhin/Wagner potentially have tactical nukes in hand. He was at 1 of 16 locations that store such weapons when everything suddenly changed, all parties involved decided to call it a day, and Prigozhin turned back.)
https://www.youtube.com/live/0FD2abAPOY8?feature=share
If Prigozhin had nuclear weapons, he would need the launch codes. Only Putin, Gerasimov or Shoigu could give him those codes. Western strategists would see through such a switch, and would hold Moscow responsible. Of course, this might be arranged to make the Russian people feel their leaders are innocent. But then, it would still be a very crazy way to attack someone.
Thank you Mntgal! I like Amir and that was very interesting. Jeff, does each nuclear warhead require a code to be launched? Since each national site (16 of them) has between 240 and 400, that would be a LOT of codes!
I don’t know.
Thank u for your response, Mr Nyquist. Many of the various speculations seem like reasonable possibilites, initially — until they don’t! 🙂
Hi PrayinginOK! Yes, Amir has a gracious manner and has excellent insights on Israeli and mideast geopolitics, as well as other regions. So appreciate reading them! He is a brother in Christ, for sure! However, for clarity, I do not embrace his teaching on the timing of a very key biblical eschatological event. (“Let the reader understand.”) With sobriety, been searching out and pondering what was “the joy set before Him” and what is “our hope of glory” that will likewise cause us to remain faithful and not let our “hearts grow cold” as lawlessness increases, so as to “endure to the end”. An unending study and pondering!
The deceptions and rumors that surround us take time to sort through. One must be avoid jumping too quickly to a final conclusion about final dates.
Jeff, do you have any information regarding Cambodia’s ruling party. On Wikipedia it is said that it is a centre right party, yet it was a communist party before 1991. Is Cambodia communist or not ?
Many communist states had ruling parties that allegedly changed to being non-communist in the 1990s, and the regimes claimed democratic reforms. These claims were usually bogus. Angola is an example. Najibullah’s Afghanistan another, where the communist regime adopted Islamic symbols and rhetoric. It did not fool anyone. I am not well-informed on Cambodia at the moment because it has not been important lately. I can check.
Everything I hear is that Cambodia’s ruling party is under the thumb of the CCP, so yes, Cambodia’s ruling party is communist.
The same is true if the Vietnamese Politburo. Chinese agents fill it.
This is how Torsten Man sees it
Translated with Deepl:
Typical Bolshevik propaganda show, you just don’t know where they want to go with it yet. If you look at the August putsch in 1991 and the constitutional crisis in 1993, I think this is exactly in this tradition. It is interesting that this alleged “coup” takes place at a time when the Ukrainian offensive was threatening to SLEEVE!
Moscow does not want to win in Ukraine yet, the Soviets still need the Ukrainian war to militarize their own people.
This really all looks like a set-up game among Chekists. The Prigozhin act resembles in some respects the August coup, which was also staged. Prigozhin himself is a KGB/FSB/GRU creature.
Torsten Mann on the Prigozhin coup:
6/24 At the same time that it is becoming known that the Ukrainian offensive is not yielding the hoped-for success, the Putin-Prigozhin daily soap opera of the last few weeks is developing in a very interesting direction, directly reminiscent of the (staged) “August coup” of 1991 and the (equally staged) “constitutional crisis” of 1993.
I had already written here some days ago that “Wagner” is, in my opinion, the theater group of the Russian military intelligence GRU and Prigozhin is also obviously a GRU puppet. I had also written here some time ago that a castling of Putin by the Soviet strategists was possible, but precisely only if the strategy provided for such a castling. Against the background of what General Sejna and KGB defector Golitsyn have written, I suspect that the current events serve the further militarization of Russian society.
While it is impossible to say at the moment how the situation will develop, Putin is already building a stab-in-the-back legend and drawing parallels to World War I, which, as we know, resulted in the communist October Revolution.
Putin: “This is exactly the kind of blow that hit Russia in 1917, when the country fought World War I, but victory was stolen from Russia. Intrigue, strife and politics behind the backs of the army and the people led to the greatest unrest, the destruction of the army and the collapse of our state, as well as the loss of vast territories. In the end, the tragedy of a civil war occurred (…) we will not allow this to happen again, we will protect both our people and our statehood from all threats including internal betrayal. (…) The measures we will take to protect our homeland from such a threat will be tough.”
On closer examination, there are indeed some parallels to the situation at that time, because even before the Bolsheviks had properly secured power over Russia, they were also already trying to extend their revolution to Europe, there was the Polish-Soviet war of 1919-1921, the “German October” of 1923 and a few years later the world economic crisis, which, according to the Soviet plan, should have resulted in the communist world revolution.
Whatever is happening in Russia right now, it is taking place at a time when the Western world is on the verge of the outbreak of a new world economic crisis. In my opinion, it would be a cardinal mistake to overlook this coincidence.
Postscript: Since Putin has thus established an acute threat to Russia’s national security, according to Russian military doctrine, a nuclear weapons deployment would now also be legitimate.

6/25. Keep in mind: this was the situation immediately before the current “mercenary coup” broke out. Contrary to what GRU showmaster Prigozhin claimed, the Ukrainian offensive actually even threatened to fail. Selensky admitted that progress on the battlefield was “slower than desired.”
Then suddenly came the so-called “coup.”

6/26 Lo and behold, little remains of the “collapse of the Putin regime” and the erupting “Russian civil war” that some commentators already saw coming, a few hours later. Even in the mainstream, it is now suspected that the temporary climax of the “Putin-Prigozhin daily soap opera” was merely a Chekist staging.
However, it remains open which purpose was pursued with it.
I will briefly give the two interpretations that are most interesting in my opinion:
– The alleged coup attempt was a provocation, following “Operation Trust,” to entice potential renegades in the Russian system to join the “coup,” whereupon they could be identified and rendered harmless. This interpretation would suggest that the Moscow regime is preparing for further escalation and that it wants to eliminate potential weak points in its own ranks in time.
– Lieutenant General (ret.) Roland Kather said, “I think the whole thing was a staging. If it goes very badly, it is a covert deployment” for a new offensive out of Belarus toward western Ukraine.

It is rare that I share the opinion of a Social Democrat, but when Michael Roth, the chairman of the Foreign Affairs Committee, says that he fears “Stalinism will now increase in Russia, which means Putin will remove anyone who stands in his way,” I think that is a realistic assessment and a very appropriate choice of terms.
Perhaps the increase in Stalinism is also the real purpose of the whole Prigozhin farce, since a return to repression is currently on the agenda of Soviet strategy anyway, much as it was in 1928 when Stalin reversed the previous liberalizations of Lenin’s NEP. I had chosen the term “militarization” for this process a few days ago, but the term “Stalinism” is more comprehensive and actually fits the historical context better.
“After Wagner Uprising: What’s Next for Russia?”
https://youtu.be/y6GOq7WYuB0?t=278
The conclusion Roth draws from this is that “NATO must support Ukraine even more resolutely, even more comprehensively and, above all, even more quickly,” because Roth expects that Putin will now “act with even greater brutality toward Ukraine.” In my view, this is an understandable conclusion, but it could prove to be a nasty trap, especially if support for Ukraine amounts to further weakening the country’s own defense capabilities.
I am curious to hear Colonel Reisner’s assessment of the current situation, but I think, as he did in his earlier situation reports, that we should certainly not underestimate Russia. I fear that Moscow is currently deliberately trying to deceive the West about Russia’s strength and that the Soviet Russian regime is in fact much more stable and has amassed much more military resources than is currently being colocated to us.
We are in the final phase of the Soviet long-term strategy, in which, according to General Sejna, the ignition of “local or regional wars in Europe” has been explicitly planned for decades. At the same time, according to the plan, a severe economic crisis combined with an energy crisis would promote the influence of “progressive forces” in Europe.
One hears that our arms industry is currently unable to supply the quantities that are needed. Who knows whether this situation will not soon become much worse due to a shortage of raw materials or energy? And what was that again? Didn’t Habeck promise that no one would have to freeze in the winter; if necessary, they would curb or even shut down their own industry?
More details about the Soviet long-term strategy can be found here:

Mr. Nyquist, this is Ben Harnwell’s opinion:
“The southern-most tip of Belarus is a mere 48 miles (77km) away from the northern-most outskirts of Kiev.
The whole world celebrated the unimpeded withdrawal of Wagner from Donbas into Belarus, laughing at what a weakened fool Putin was.
Putin is no fool. The decapitation of Kiev — undefended towards the north and Belarus — would be swift and surgical.
Is this why Putin moved nuclear missiles to Belarus a couple of weeks ago — to see off potential NATO sabre-rattling?!“
If he moved the tac nukes to Belarus to hit Kiev, what is he waiting for? As for Wagner troops going to Belarus, there is no information verifying any such movement. In today’s speech, Putin gave the Wagner mercenaries the choice of going to Belarus, which is disturbing. It is only alarming if they are allowed to take their heavy weapons with them.
How well armed is Belarus? What if they lend it to Wagner? Then Wagner donates the arms left behind to Russia?
The Belorussian military wants no part in the war. Moscow is not happy with them.
I believe both links state or implied the use of mercs attacking from 50 miles, or so, from Beloruss into Kiev from the north.
Also, this writer has a background in mercenary adventure:
https://bigcountryexpat.substack.com/p/i-called-this-24-48-hours-ago
That is a very interesting take Retired. Imagine the indignance of Western leaders if such a thing succeeded. My eyes just rolled back into my head imaging how the current administration would spin such a thing. Our current “CINC” is embarrassing, and frankly, scares the crap out of me.
Putin’s latest remarks:
https://news.sky.com/story/russia-ukraine-latest-putin-wagner-prigozhin-belarus-war-live-updates-12541713
Putin says rebellion was ‘criminal activity aimed at weakening Russia’
Vladimir Putin said in a statement that the rebellion was “criminal activity which is aimed at weakening the country”.
In a blistering statement, Mr Putin said that “any kind of blackmail is doomed to failure” and that the mutiny leaders “wanted our society to be fragmented”.
He thanked the Russian public for its “support, patriotism and solidarity” since the rebellion, as well as thanking Belarus’s Aleksandr Lukashenko for a peaceful resolution.
“Virtually the entirety of Russian society… was united by its responsibility to defend their homeland,” Mr Putin said.
He also thanked Wagner officials who “took the right decision to stop and go back to prevent bloodshed”.
Mr Putin added that most Wagner mercenaries are “patriots” who were “used” by organisers of the rebellion.
The uprising was “doomed to fail” and that “its organisers, even though they lost their sense of right and wrong, couldn’t have failed to realise that,” he continued.
Me Putin also claimed Ukraine was involved in the weekend’s events and calls the revolt “revenge for their failed counteroffensive”.
https://news.sky.com/story/russia-ukraine-latest-putin-wagner-prigozhin-belarus-war-live-updates-12541713?postid=6101839#liveblog-body
Ukraine was involved in the weekend events? And no proof offered at all.
For me, the alarm bells started ringing when it was announce that Lukashenko had brokered safe passage and asylum in Belarus for Prigozhin. Despite no-one apparently knowing the whereabouts of Prigozhin since his shenanigans or whether nukes have indeed been stationed in Belarus there have been news reports about him and his ‘thugs’ being within spitting distance of the Nukes stationed in Belarus by Russia. (admittedly mostly by Uk gutter press https://www.express.co.uk/news/politics/1784730/russia-nuclear-fears-Wagner-Belarus-Prigozhin-coup etc ).
I also don’t believe that Putin would publicly admit a ‘mortal wound’ unless it was for good effect.
I am nowhere near as expert as Jeff, but my gut tells me this is not as it seems.
If this is Putin’s alibi, it is an alibi the West is not likely to believe.
Interesting interview.

There is no substantial disagreement among the communists and their party discipline eliminates that possibility completely, otherwise their self-preservation system, which is tyrannical and criminal (as it is completely atheistic), it will not otherwise survive – and they know it and follow this principle punctually.
There has never been time in the history of communism when their would exist substantial and successful disunity among them and that the disuniting force would prevail. Why is it so ? Because the overall goal remains the same – worldwide communist dictatorship.
Russian Bolshevik criminals are simply staging another psychological warfare operation, and they all know that if they would genuinely rebel against the communist cause and its operational targets, or make their own decisions which may be contrary to what the collegial consent has decreed to be implemented, that is never tolerated among them and those who would attempt something of a kind would face serious life-terminating consequences.
Russian and Chinese communists and their whole communist bloc is growing in size by their main weapon which is infiltration and complete subversion of entire governments, which includes all levels of government, down to the local sheriff and magistrate…
Their present task is to demoralize the opposing camp by various real and staged scandals, corruption and other such demoralizing factors, using all kinds of tools for that purpose…and when they are satisfied with the results, which means complete disunity of the opposing camp (Western society) is achieved, then they will use communist provoked civil strife (civil war), escalate terrorist operations, including KGB-GRU run Islamic Terrorist operations, Spetznaz run sabotages (which are already being tested), and then they will attempt to provoke the still liberty loving populations into active resistance, which they will use their already prepared plan to crush with brutal force of the police state power.
The question is – how deeply is the state power penetrated by communists ? To what extent and what orders these communist agents are prepared to execute – against their own citizens ?
The answer is clear – they will not hesitate to use any means necessary, even physical extermination, concentration camps and mass executions, if necessary – for these diabolical monsters, atheistic communists, their ideological goals justify the means, any means including murder and terror without restraint.
They are capable of staging anything. That they have controlled opposition is self-evident, they have such agents inside the parliaments and congresses, and inside the government, all branches.
The only entity they will NEVER be able to destroy is the true Roman Catholic Church, which is NOT the Vatican occupying non-Catholic pro-communist apostate SECT, and these servants of Satan know this truth very well as it is written in the Holy Scripture – Apocalypse 13 and 20 etc. – the time of the Antichrist and his evil end.
It is useless to elaborate on what they may do or not – their goal remains the same – worldwide communist slavery. What difference does it make how they achieve it ? None.
They control the White House and have infiltrated the intelligence and LE agencies, military and state and local governments…when they decide to use them for communist tyranny what difference will it make whether there was a “revolt” of (“formerly” communist – GRU etc.) “mercenaries” against Putin and his decisions ? None.
They will not hesitate to evaporate ANY country in the world if that would become necessary, including nuclear blackmail, and now they are demonstrating their Russian communist truthfulness to the rest of the world – and lifting the morale of the troops (in secret) as this psy-opp is no doubt properly explained. It is uplifting to the communists to know that the capitalist enemies were once again deceived, it elevates the morale of the communist troops, when they get away with these deceptive measures…
Do NOT fall for these tricks, they are almost ready, but the main strategy is demoralization of the enemy…and completing the communist subversion of the whole world.
God will repay them at the end, they will pay for their satanic evils to Him without any exception.
I would add that the communists are very careful to avoid overreaching. They know how to retreat and trick people into thinking they have turned over a new leaf. Yet they do have disagreements, purges, and assassinations in their own ranks. Stalin did this, and Mao. This, too, is in their history. They are not infallible or invulnerable.
I just had my 4 and 6 year old grandkids over for a week and to realize that the days and years behind them are going to be the best times of their lives is so very depressing. Even at my age it is hard to comprehend this level of evil.
Maybe God will be merciful.
Former Virginia State Senator Richard Black:
Ukrainian Army Has Slammed Into a Russian Wall of Steel, This Battle Could End the War
https://conspiracyfact.info/watch?id=649a1c770b6e7bd9e2abfda6
Richard Black is simply boosting Russia. This kind of talk is not serious, and he damages his reputation by pouring grotesque flattery on the a Russian Army, which has lost three battles in this war. Whatever is happening right now, we are not able to determine.
It is entirely possible that Putin himself could be “replaced” and this for the western consumption, and somebody else much less known and much less exposed in KGB background (a secret Komsomol member perhaps) could be brought in as a figurehead.
But the collegial communist leadership will remain the same.
They’ve done this same thing all over Eastern Europe. It would repeat itself even in Russia in some way.
This is the secular reason first.
Now there is another intent which is even more diabolical than the first – since Putin is discredited in the eyes of the western world as a war criminal, in order to justify their “conversion”, Russian communists would bring in somebody more “open and friendly” to the EU and the United States, in the sense of the Sun Tzu deception of course.
And also for the reason that it was last year when the Novus Ordo Sect of the layman impostor to the Papacy Bergoglio “consecrated” Russia to Our Lady’s Immaculate Heart, which is absolutely invalid and null, as an Apostate Sect of communist agents cannot obtain anything supernatural from God…and so to attempt to justify this falsehood, in order to serve the devil the more and deceive many more people, a pretended replacement of this KGB criminal Putin could be contemplated – and somebody more “friendly” to this Bergoglio Sect (which is NOT the Catholic Church nor the true Papacy), could be brought in to make believe that this “consecration” of Russia was effectual and is bringing good fruits…in another words, that the already exposed KGB criminal Putin was removed by this “act of God – consecration” of Russia and somebody who would claim to be more “Catholic” can be ushered in – this is pure speculation of course, but these people serve the devil and he wants to deceive more and more souls into believing these heretical poisons of his so that such souls can end up in Hell forever with the devil…
———————-
Additional note: It is absolutely improbable that non-military private entity would possess such military assets and potentials that the Russian communist leadership would be genuinely threatened by it, speaking of a genuine civil war and such like nonsense.
The WHOLE country is fully communist and this for over 100 years, the level of atheistic communist perversion is unimaginable, and it is extremely difficult to detect it by the western cultured mind because of the obvious lack of experience what the life inside a communist slavery truly is.
Be prepared for the worst – communism is a slavery of Satan, the only freedom of mind and soul is when the soul is truly cleansed of all sins and sanctified by the true religion God has revealed about Himself, which is nothing else but Catholic Tradition. Over such souls, and very few they are today in this godless world, the devil has no power.
The more I watch video of Putin’s speeches around this incident, the more I get the feeling he is pretending to be nervous and afraid. From what I have learned so far, the Marxist-Lenenists are capable of the most elaborate deception. It’s just a gut feeling, and I hope my gut is being influences by emotions or foreboding from other things I’ve read,but I cannot shake this feeling that he is purposefully trying to appear nervous/afraid/rattled.
I mean, what is the most out of character disposition for the cretin to display? He always projects a calm, cool, masculine, in control image. And has for as long as I can remember. Wouldn’t it make it that much easier to believe he was truly fearful the first time we see him display signs of nervousness or fear? If there is a core group of leaders at the top of the governing apparatus, wouldnt they want to conceal this image he is projecting? And if he were the one unilaterally calling every shot, he definitely would. There was a photo of him sitting across the table from one of his officials, sitting reclined in a nonchalant posture, but gripping the table. I feel this is a pose, to make us think “Aha! I caught that. He’s trying to look like he is in charge, but the table gripping is a tell!” They are in control of their media, and what gets shown to the world, so why let these images be shown? Or him constantly shifting as he gives a confused speech. And the comments on Twitter mostly mock him, which could be the desired reaction, especially if they are about to make a drastic change in some way.
In other words, to me it seems that his tough guy image has been so carefully and diligently cultivated these past several years just to helplessly let it shatter through the media *they* are putting out to the world, unless it is intentional.
Just a gut feeling for lack of better way to describe it. It has been wrong before, but not often. I hope it is now.
Also, our usual trolls are suddenly acting a bit subdued aren’t they? Even acting like they are grudgingly admitting that Jeff may be on to something with his theory as to what could have happened behind the scenes. And I mean the trolls, not true believer Committ.
Sorry to keep posting, but I need to be a little clearer. I could understand his first speech going public in which he appeared rattled. But it looks mighty suspicious that subsequent messages and photos continue to come out with him still seemingly shaken and confused.
Hopefully he is confused. But then, it is alleged he suffers chronic back pain.
I was thinking the same.
Sorry for my disjointed commenting last night. I had been crawling around underneath a house tearing out and replacing rotten joints all day. My brain wasn’t functioning very well last night.
But, does it seem odd to you that the powers that be in Russia *continue* to allow this weak image of Putin to be shown to the West? I could better accept all the signs of weakness in his initial speech when Wagner was on the move with virtually no opposition as he advanced toward Moscow. I could accept that one. But why would they allow more images and video in which Putin shows an apparent involuntary display of nerves? If it is real, it cannot benefit Russia to allow this to continually be shown to the West. Therefore, I am thinking that either the whole thing could be a facade, or either his initial publicized speech was real authentic, but just like there were authentic rifts between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia, and friction between the Soviet Union under Stalin and China, and those antagonisms were rectified and then capitalized on to deceive the West, I feel that all succeeding images of a weak Putin may be following this same line of disinformation.
And, do we know how much -if any- of this is actually being shown in Russia?
Telegraph channel, which is used by many Russians, was lit up during the mutiny. Russians were following the events.
I need to download Telegraph.
It may be that the mutiny is Putin’s alibi for a nuclear strike from Belarus, in accordance with Yuri Felshtinsky’s. Now, as Wade has said, Victoria Nuland has supposedly told Ukrainian officials that World War III might begin on July 11. Now we have additional markers indicating a threat on that date.
I didn’t catch his name, but last night a former senior advisor to Putin, who now lives in the US, was on Laura Ingraham. He was emphasizing how much fear Putin was feeling.
This seems consistent with Greynight’s theory.
I wonder.
I sure hope not.
Global Times (CCP newspaper) : Note to the US – a nuclear war can be won by rivals. https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202210/1276613.shtml
JEFF you somewhat misunderstood me I did not say that it had to be a nuclear attack on the night old summit but it could be a massive swarm of conventionally armed missiles if the consol missiles truly fine 9000 plus miles an hour which almost translates to the same amount in terms of explosive equivalent in pounds of an impact of each missile.
Unfortunately there’s a brand new wrinkle to my assessment that I was not aware of it’s now exploded all over the internet today about a behind closed door video conference that Victoria Nulan had with officials in Kiev which she stated to them that world war III would begin on July 11 this was not reported till today or at least last couple days and you and I had the conversation about this over a week ago the second time after the first belief two weeks ago that I stated this high possibility.
Add to this right as the rebellion if you call it what it is was winding down print one officials unexpectedly immediately flew to meetings with their counterparts in Beijing over the weekend. Very strange that they did this so quickly in through the confrontation if you will was not fully wrapped up.
And now in another strange development the mayor of Kiev former world boxing champ Vitali Klitschko on Friday came out and started pushing strongly back against Zelensky’s government alleging that they are significantly interfering provincial governments in the country approaching to near criminally actively actions.
Zelensky announced also on Friday that next year’s presidential elections in Ukraine have been postponed and will not take place until quote the war is finally over.
I know you said it was not necessarily nuclear. I was referencing Yuri Felshtinsky, who said in April that Moscow had some kind of plan in which a rogue group would sieze the nuclear weapons in Belarus and use them against Poland and Lithuania in July.
The U.S. Government evidently credits this scenario, since Nuland said World War III could be ignited on July 11.
Yesterday Putin said that Wagner mercenaries would be permitted to go to Belarus. Some sources claim that Prigozhin is already there. So it may indeed be that the mutiny was staged to provide Putin with an alibi for a nuclear strike from Belarus. This is a very crazy scheme, and if Nuland knows about it, the West is not fooled.
In my view, there are some good logical conclusions being drawn here in this dialog. I will add to Jeff’s prior comment, “… it may indeed be that the mutiny was staged to provide Putin with an alibi for a nuclear strike from Belarus. This is a very crazy scheme, and if Nuland knows about it, the West is not fooled,” … Could it not then make sense that the West is using the July 11 Nato summit as an irresistible dangled carrot? That they are determining whether Russia and Wagner are indeed preparing such a decapitation attack? And if they confirm that with some gathered evidence, they may be able to put together a moral/legal case for a first strike, to beat them to the punch?
Given who the ruling Democrats are, I fear this crisis may be exploited by Marxists in Washington in some way. The worst thing that can happen is for the Marxists in Washington to be empowered to negotiate a nuclear crisis with Russia. They could effectively give Russia a way out, or they could give strategic advantages to a Russia that might prove crippling. At the same time, if an actual war breaks out, all these pro-Putin conservatives could be jailed as traitors or agents of an enemy country.
PS – There is one problem with Wade’s source on Nuland’s alleged statement about WW3 starting on July 11. That source is an Indian website that features pro-Russian commentary. It is, in effect, a Russian propaganda site. Unless we get confirmation on this allegation about Nuland, you cannot trust it. What is significant, is that the Russian shills are bringing up this date themselves. One might suspect it is a kind of nuclear threat wrapped in a special kind of wrapping.
There will be the BRICS summit in August, where many other countries that are not member will also attend. If Russia and China succeed in pushing de-dollarization and “multipolarity”, maybe they will wait for war. If they don’t, they might lose patience and start war
This a complex game with many moving parts. Watch what all the parts are doing. Watch the disinformation narratives. That tells us a lot.
Because of the Federal Reserve policy of 0% interest rates, there is a huge financial bubble. The largest bubble in history. There is a lot of bubbles in the United States. The US Government has a lot of debt to. The question is not if the bubbles will burst but when. It will probably be worse than the Great Depression. When the bubble burst we should expect the Chinese to take action.
An economic crisis has long been said to precede the World Revolution. We would be in a very difficult position with Marxists in Washington.
JEFF: LUKASHENKO HAS ORDERED THE BELARUS ARMED FORCES TO THEIR HIGHEST COMBAT ALERT; AND A JET AIRLINER FROM THE RUSSIAN PRESIDENTIAL FLEET IS ON ITS WAY TO D.C. TO PICK AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF DIPLOMATS. IT IS THE FIRST DIRECT AIRLINE FLIGHT FROM RUSSIA TO THE U.S. SINCE LAST SUMMER WHEN SANCTIONS BANNING THOSE FLIGHTS WERE ENACTED
Good Tuesday morning roundtable today.
I’m trying.
When US Economy collapses because of all the bubbles, the US will not be able to spend money to defend foreign countries and will have to retreat. Israel, South Korea and Japan will be screwed. Europeans will have to demonstrate a lot of strength and courage. It will be Sino-Russian world domination. Not necessary world revolution, but the Russians and Chinese will try to rule Eurasia together. That’s why China and Russia are pushing de-dollarization.
Yes, indeed, that is why Russia and China are pushing de-dollarization. Also, all these folks who oppose the FED do not understand how integral our banking system to our common defensive structures, and our alliance system. Break that down, and you destroy our ability to defend. Of course, because we have homosexual activism and abortion, many now think we all deserve to die. But if outright communism prevails everywhere, how do we ever fix things? It would be the end of all freedom, the end of all defensive structures. Welcome to the New World Order where China exterminates the Americans living in the lower 48 states to build a second China. Does everyone here deserve to die because some people live an immoral life? — Or because we have immoral leaders (who are no more corrupt than the leaders in Russia and China)? I think that people get very angry, and they direct their anger improperly. We can be critical of our own country’s failings without wishing for the victory of our enemies.
JEFF THE FIRST REPORT ABOUT THE ALLEGED VICTORIA NULAND DATE WAS NOT THE INDIAN WOMAN. THE INDIAN WOMAN REPORT/VIDEO CAME ON JUNE 2.
THE FIRST REPORT CAME ON MAY 26 FROM THIS WEBSITE: https://helenaglass.substack.com/p/victoria-nuland-inciting-wwiii-with
This article seems to imply that Nato will start this war on the 11th and not Russia and that it will last 16 years or longer…
Yes, Nate, it’s pro-Russian trash. I just wonder where she got this data point. Wade is channeling Russian disinformation about 11 July. Why are stories like this being placed as early as 26 May?
The Indian woman was the only thing that came up when I did a web search. But Wade, Helen G is not a credible source for this story. She misidentifies Nuland as the head of the State Department. Secretary of State Blinken is the head of the State Department.
This is just an unverified rumor.
Russian Bolsheviks have not yet attacked anybody with nuclear weapons but that doesn’t mean that they will not do it – on the contrary, that may well be their choice weapon at the end, but they need the element of deception and surprise, otherwise they know that the freedom loving people don’t trust them and when they attack would most certainly not follow the military deception and communist propaganda with it.
A surprise nuclear attack from Russia and China is always possible, but the conceivable scenario would be that they need to collect more data on their anti-communist opponents (including political statements etc.) for future political persecution. This is the one of the most dangerous communist operations they’ve ever implemented, and they’ve done it before.
But with the technical means so advanced to day, it is much easier to collect the personal data than in the past times, and the IP addresses and such like data, addresses, phone and internet records, all of it.
One more thing – and this is for those who are still learning about this situation, namely the false collapse of communism – and this is one of the main arguments and in fact circumstantial proofs that there was never any such collapse at all – if the KGB and related communist secret services and the CP USSR etc. truly collapsed, if communism truly collapsed, how come there was never any true justice carried out for the crimes and tyranny the communist criminals have committed against their own population ?
And another point – since they (KGB, CP USSR etc., the whole Soviet Bloc) claimed that communism has collapsed, they have not released any data on their KGB-GRU etc. spy networks, which continue their subversive activities despite these (fraudulent) claims of collapse … this includes CPUSA membership list and list of their domestic American (and of course European etc.) communist spies and agents…
Like the names of Biden, Clinton (both of them), Pelosi, Schumer and so on – it may even be asked how many US Senators and Representatives are not in those files, because the level of infiltration might be extremely devastating ! That’s why they are incapable of removing Biden and his fraudulent cabinet from power, one of the major betrayals which even Donald Trump is behind – when authority to uphold justice and protect the national security is set aside and acceptance of electoral fraud stands, then the evident betrayal of this principle of justice is the result – and it can be called abuse of authority, because the duty to use that authority when this evident act of treason (electoral fraud by communist assets) is committed the duty of those who are still in power is to prevent the criminals to usurp the stolen political power, even at the cost of enacting Marshal Law and such like executive measures – of course temporarily, never permanently.
So where are those files of these KGB spy networks, and CPUSA membership lists etc., which the Russians always demanded to receive from their worldwide CP subordinates ?
Many more questions can be asked, but there is no unity of conviction and determination to act, in self-defense, to preserve the God given liberty of conscience from being eliminated by these communist atheistic forces of evil. These are truly diabolical evils and Divine punishment of those who obstinately refuse to obey God and follow the truth, and so God will not help them in return for their heretical beliefs and such like disobedience.
All else has been said already.
“..For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape. ” (1 Thes. 5 : 3)
Many good points. This is the heart of the issue.
@WadeQueen that is super concerning given that there really is a NATO summit happening in Lithuania on July 11-12 (https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_214116.htm) and that Lithuania was one of the two countries mentioned by Yuri Felshtinsky as targets for a nuclear strike originating from Belarus. And Putin just banished his best “frenemy” Prigozhin to the nuclear stockpile there! Jeff, you may just be exactly right about the purpose of the “mutiny”!
There is no need to nuke the summit. One SATAN2 hypersonic missile with conventional warheads is more than sufficient. NATO is baiting Russia by holding the meeting on the border of Russia.
NATO summit meetings are held regularly, and a SATAN missile could have landed on every one. Why is this one different?
It is beginning to look like an alibi for Putin. I hope that nobody falls for this. It is so transparent.
