Unable to catch even a glimpse of totalitarian militarization … the giant CIA bureaucracy would spin its wheels for half a century…. None of its chiefs understood the totalitarian creation, with its charades of ‘communism’ and ‘socialism,’ any more than the learned bore understood the pseudotsargod, if only because the bore was a dilettantish mediocrity….
Andrei Navrozov
In his Autobiographical Reflections Eric Voegelin wrote of today’s “vulgarians” and the problem of ochlocracy (mob rule). “[This is a serious problem] of life and death,” Voegelin insisted, “because the vulgarians create and dominate the intellectual climate in which the rise to power of figures like Hitler is possible.” If we look around, do we see “figures like Hitler”? Of course, we see the “Hitler type” as a carpet-chewing lunatic who foams at the mouth and kills Jews. We have turned Hitler into a cartoon. And maybe, by doing this, we have paved the way for another iteration of the type. And now that the peace of Europe has been decisively broken, how do we separate vulgarian nonsense about the war from proper analysis? The question might be, “How should we think about this war?” I had the pleasure of an hour-long recorded conversation with Andrei Navrozov earlier today on this subject. He has given the Ukraine War a great deal of thought, which he has titled “None Dare Call it Civil War.”

I have a feeling that Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukraine’s new army chief, is an agent of Kremlin. Given how he had an extensive tie to the Soviet Armed Forces in both family and works, similar to Putin. Kremlin and its agents in the West have probably decided to end Ukraine somewhere around 2025 or less. Syrskyi is put into power as a sign that he would be likely replacing Zelenskyy in near future.
Given how Biden is suffering the classified documents indictment possibility, he probably begged Kremlin to help him attaining power. Kremlin doesn’t like anti-Russian fanatics like Zhaluny a bit, and Budanov is a snake in the eyes of Kremlin. Putting Syrskyi as the new Army chief is a sign on how Biden is rewarding Kremlin to rig the 2024 elections (with the help of Chinese) and financially support the Biden-Clinton crime family.
I have another prediction that Russia is going to get Odessa to landlock Ukraine, and Biden will allow it. If it occurs somewhere in summer of 2024, then Biden and Putin will start calling a truce. Biden will force Ukraine to accept territorial losses, not joining NATO, get demilitarized. Putin got what he wants territorially. Zelenskyy will replaced by Syrskyi to be pro-Russia, and he is likely becoming another Lukashenko in near future. As Mr Lude predicts about Ukraine-China, it is very likely China will offer the newly President Syrskyi the reconstruction plan to have Chinese controlling most of Ukraine’s crucial assets. There will be even Chinese shadow armies in new Ukraine.
The goal of Ukraine War was three-fold.
– Russia got a foothold in warmwater port and a crucial control of Ukraine’s resources
– China gains a foothold into Europe to bolster the BRI plan in both economic and military sense
– Russia and China economically cripple Europe and prosper from a war economy.
I do not know where you get the idea that Syrskyi is a Russian agent, but it cannot be true. He inflicted serious damage on the Russian Army during the Kiev Battle and the Kharkiv area counter-offensive in 2022. The goal of the Russian invasion of Ukraine is to control all of Ukraine if possible. Zelenskyy is not going to be replaced by Syrskyi.
His background is very strange. He studied in Soviet Armed Forces, participated in the USSR march in Moscow in the past, and his family has an extensive tie with USSR/Russia. His background is not someone who would have the fire of hating Russians and Communists like Zahluny or Budanov. He is extremely connected to Russia in all means.
That’s why I remain skeptical because Russians and communists are masters of deception.
Every army officer Syrskyi’s age and many sharing his rank were in the Soviet Army 33 years ago. That was the only army they could have belonged to. Ukraine was a Soviet republic back then. Everyone 33 years and older was born “Soviet.” This was the state of that time. Akeksandr Solzhenitsyn was a Soviet military officer in WW2. That fact does not make him suspicious. If Soviet strategist employ deception it does not follow that all Soviet citizens do the same.
Yes, Syrskyi’s background is too attached with Russia beyond normality. Most of Ukraine’s Armed Forces are people with deep hatred against Russia and communism. I still doubt Syrskyi’s loyalty, and Zahluny has been the most effective commander in AFU. The timing of his ouster is very suspiscious, while Russia continues to mount massive offensive operations. The Ukraine aids are gradually being cut at the same period.
We also have Republican traitors drumming up a fantasy threat to kill any more aids for Ukraine to help the Russian communists.

We also got confirmed from Putin himself that he prefers Biden than Trump. We already
know that Biden is a lifetime Communist in the Obama-Clinton gang.

All events are happening right now to favor Russia the most. The Communists always do strings of events happening all at once to favor them.
I would not be leveling accusations against the top Ukrainian general.

JEFF. JUST DELETE THE LA-LA GASH. SIMPLE AS THAT.
IN OTHER NEWS OF THE DAY: JEFF. WHAT IS YOUR TAKE ON THE CHAIRMAN OF THE HOUSE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE, MIKE TURNER, GOT EVERYBODY ON CAPITOL HILL, D.C., AND THE NATIONAL PRESS OUTLETS IN A MAJOR TIZZY OVER THIS ‘NEW THREAT’ THAT SEVERE ENOUGH FOR HIM TO MAKE A PRESS RELEASE ABOUT. THE INTEL MADE AVAILABLE AFTER TO ALL 535 MEMBERS TO READ ABOUT IT. CONGRESSMAN IN BOTH PARTIES WERE IN TWO CAMPS. THOSE WHO WERE DEEPLY DISTURBED ABOUT IT, AND THE OTHER CAMP SIDE BEING INDIFFERENT TO ALMOST DISMISSIVE OF THE INFORMATION. THE SECOND GROUP IS BOUYED IN THE LAST COUPLE OF HOURS BY THE WHITE HOUSE AND INTEL OFFICIALS, FLABBERGASTED BY MIKE TURNER REMARKS. WITH EACH SIDE POINTING FINGERS THAT THERE WAS POTENTIAL FOR”MASS PUBLIC PANIC”, IF NOT HANDLED CORRECTLY.
I am waiting to find out the details.
Many thanks to Jeff and Andrei for this interview. I really enjoyed it. especially when Andrei touched on the lies during the Tucker interview.
If you are going to be a good liar, you really must have an excellent memory. However, with Putin, he doesn’t just use “his” memory, he creates all new ones too. Albeit, from what I can see online, this time it has backfired on him so tremendously, that even the former Mongolian chimed in on his revanchist aspirations.
Putin’s rhetoric is not consistent, of course. But I think this is by design. I believe he is simultaneously appealing to Germans, fascists, anti-fascists, communists, MAGA, and more. Appealing to all these constituent elements results in a peculiar verbal goulash. Unfortunately, most people only hear what they are tuned to hear; that is, they only hear phrases that affirm their resentments or ideological hatreds, or political hobby horses. Anything that does not directly relate to these is NOT HEARD. It simply does not register in the brain. I believe that Putin’s rhetoric is part of a conscious recipe. And it is a cynical recipe. In part I think it is succeeding, for I can see its success in the U.S. Congress and across Europe. Rhetoric does not require logical consistency. It succeeds when it appeals to emotional trigger words or phrases. Too many people today operate on a vulgarian level, where they do not bother to acquire any genuine knowledge and do not think about what they have heard before reacting to it. And I am sorry to say, otherwise intelligent people indulge in this lazy approach to listening. Of course, while they are indulging, they sink to the level of what Gustave Le Bon called the psychological crowd.
This is partly off topic, but it follows up a question in a discussion thread to an earlier article.
It also might be acceptable to post it here, as it gives a glimps on the reception of the Putin-Interview.
The question from earlier concerned itself with the relation Hans Georg Massen seeks with the AFD.
In a panel discussion on Servus TV (https://www.servustv.com/aktuelles/v/aaenexnbwfeu0ajdevvi/), an Austrian TV station, sometimes being depicted as right wing or spouting conspiracy theories (in my personal opinion these accusations are mainly propaganda spins), Mr. Massen says from 49:40 onwards:
From our viewpoint the political divide in Germany is not between the right and left, but between those that are for liberty saying “we do not want the state telling us how we have to live, we do not want to be told what kind of heating we install in our home, or whether we have to go to work with a bicycle or a car” and on the other side of the libertarians stand the authoritatives or totalitarians who say “the state may dictate us that we now are forbidden to heat with oil or gas” and so on.
This is, I believe, the divide. And here I see that the traditional parties we have in Germany, are rather authoritative. And on the other side there is the AFD which is from our viewpoint in parts really radical, and of the people in those parts we say we do not want to see them in government.
Question from the moderator: “What are your reasons to not exclude the possibility of working together with the AFD?”
It is my strong conviction that in a libertarian democracy we have to speak with all people. Because as democrats we must have the aspiration to convince also people with radical views that the libertarian democratic rule of law is the right way.
Therefore, we have to speak with everyone. Absolute refusal to speak with someone I hold to be fatal, because this leads to a breakdown of communications and the poisoning of the discourse. [Another participant, who declared himself earlier to be a Marxist, adds: “And also to radicalization.”] Yes.
The other question however is whether I work together with anyone. And here I say I of course do not work together with everyone. I speak with everyone. I work together with those, who share my positions and convictions. If we as party have a political program, and others are in support of this program, we will work together with them, be it the AFD, SPD, FDP.
Regarding the Putin-Interview, at 1:04:40:
Mr. Bohrn Mena:
I found this Interview also very interesting, because it was unmasking. When Putin sits down and blames Poland for the German invasion – this he has done, its stupefying! – then I except from the public state media that they say: “Putin gave an interview, where he said the Poles take the blame for the German invasion. This is Putin.”
Mr. Massen:
Here I agree with you. Therefore, I would wish that this interview is broadcasted by public state media. And afterwards there should be a panel with historians, politicians who discuss what has been said. This would be putting it into context.
The interview with Andrei Navrozov is very insightful as the emphasis to look at the conflict being a civil war is new to me and rings true.

A bunch of media saying the same thing. This technology in development is nothing new. If what they are claiming is the actual “new threat”. No one should be surprised. There may be more going on here than meets the eye.
ABC News and the New York Times cited unnamed sources as saying that the security threat Turner was referring to involved the Russia’s potential deployment of a nuclear anti-satellite weapon in space.
Biden the Communist and his friends in both Parties are using this excuse to degrade or cancel any more aids for Ukraine. This is all a threatre play!
Funny I’m hearing the exact opposite speculation. We’ll see.
Yes, they are tricking everyone.
Literally, I was stunned out of my chair when hearing Putin officially prefers Biden over Trump – you can see the link of the article in one of my comments.
Putin and Russian communists have literally chosen the winner of 2024 Elections because they will rig it through the help of Chinese money (I talked to some knowledgeable people about 2020 Elections where the Chinese literally paid voters in key states to vote for Biden. They don’t even need to rig the voting machines).
Of course Putin prefers Biden. Funny that he not having to pretend. It must be tiresome to lie all the time. He probably needed a break.
Xeno Man is soon to be blocked. 3 weeks max. A bit more subtle than most trolls.
The only thing new about this “threat” is that our experts and politicians never “imagined” [in their poverty of imagination] that the Kremlin would do such a thing as to break out of a solemn treaty and put us in a difficult position. Can you imagine what an x-ray radiation nuke would do exo-atmospherically? How many hundreds of satellites could be destroyed by an EMP detonation in space — all at once? Oh boy. Imagine what would happen to our communications. These people have been living in a fool’s paradise. What do they think is happening on their border? Who do they imagine has been engineering all these attacks on us?
I considered that this might be new info for them. Can they really be this extremely dumb?
If you ever get a chance to speak to intelligence people who give briefings to congressmen, you will hear them lament to ignorance they encounter.
I know one DIA Col. friend of the family who is in denial about everything you talk about. I wouldn’t trust him to brief Congress.
I am not citing your DIA colonel, but people who are very knowledgeable.
PS — Peter Pry has suggested North Korea’s two satellites are space-based nuclear weapons — already deployed.
Oh yeah, Pry’s work was invaluable. May he RIP.
How did we get here? Hillary Clinton and Obama did their part to help transfer Western technology to Russia. That’s what Skolkovo, ie. Russia’s Silicon Valley, was about.

Good article to add to anyone’s collection written in 2014, by a Catholic who was in Ukraine at that time.
Thanks GreyKnight for an awesome link. The article describes what life was like during 2014 Maidan events. It shows that the middle class of Ukraine are special people.
They fought and resisted! Yanukovich’s true colors are easy to see.

Jeff, your interview with Trevor Loudon 2/11 on LFA TV was outstanding. You made very important points as to why conservatives in America need to support Ukraine instead of believing the propaganda pushed by conservative media favorites/darlings in Carlson, Macgregor, Napolitano, and Ritter.

Perusing the tainted Gateway Pundit, I came across this garbage. If anyone still had hope for Tucker Carlson coming around, it seems clear that he is now a blossomed, full grown, useful idiot, whereas before, he was just a blooming idiot.
His jab about Crimea being the source of wine for Russia -“Russian wine”-, as well as a warm water port, referring to it all is Russian, is sick in the extreme.
Forgot to post the link.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/tucker-carlson-visits-russian-grocery-store-discovers-americans/
If communism means empty shelves and Russia is communist, both claims I read many times on this blog. How can you explain the grocery store?
Well, knhacker8, perhaps it is a sort of Potemkin grocery store.
Besides, Carlson only showed video of *one* grocery store…in Moscow…probably not one he chose at random, but was guided or taken to by his gracious hosts, as he is a foreign visitor.
According to Golitsyn, Russia exercises “effective control and observation of foreign embassies, journalists, and visitors to Communist countries and of their contacts in those countries.”
Tucker Carlson is the new Walter Duranty, but even worse as he tries to “radicalize” Americans toward civil war.
Besides that, I doubt the average Russian can afford that buggy load. Why didn’t the “honest journalist” explain how affordable nine thousand and some odd rubles are for the average Russian?
It’s Lenin’s NEP 2.0 — ! All communist countries are based on state capitalism where the “oligarchs” are agents of the state who pretend to be independent businessmen.
My response to KNHACKER, as usually, you understand NOTHING. Neo-Bolshevik stores are full thanks to artificially inflated prices of oil and gas, otherwise, the Russian people would be living (and 70% of them are still) in nineteen Century. The entire provincial Russia still lives in nineteen Century anyway.
In order to maintain high prices of energy materials, Putin murders anyone who is attempting to oppose him.
Polish President Lech Kaczynski, has paid the ultimate price for that as hem and his entire entourage were killed at Smolensk on 10th April 2010 when he and the military and almost the entire political leadership flew to commemorate the anniversary of Kathyn massacre.
President Kaczynski initiated the process of making Poland independent from Russian energy materials supplies.
In 2014 the chief of French oil company, Total, Stephane Margerie was murdered in Moscow on the Aeroport of Sheremetyevo. Total and other French oil companies were conducting search for the shell oil and gas in the Eastern Europe. Putin demanded from Margerie to stop the search immediately and the Total’s chief refused so he had to die.
There is much, much more than that and I think you should read something and learn something before you produce another ignorant rant.
That being said, I have absolutely NOTHING against the Russian people themselves. They have suffered incomparably more than the Poles themselves from the claws of the Bolshevik BEAST. Unfortunately, they are going to suffer even more again and I feel sorry for them. This about the monstrous regime that enslaves them.
Good post, Bogdan.
Dear GREYKNIGHT, it looks like Carlson was, unbeknown too him, castrated out of his brain during his visit in Russia so there is no hope for him.
P.S: I’m also extremely disappointed and disheartened with Jim Hoft and his Gateway Pundit which I was visiting on nearly daily basis for the last twenty years. He’s completely lost his mind.
So has my another idol, Candace Owens. Until now, I was Candace’s enthusiastic supporter and admirer and saw her as a conservative superstar and a future leader, smart, eloquent, courageous and beautiful. However, she lost me entirely after her ignorant and vulgar anti Ukrainian rant. She has also proved that she is a woman of a shallow intellect, after all.
A terrible waste..
Our “friend” KNKHACKER spouts: “The Tatars could return, unlike Palestinians,
No, Tatars can not return. They have been either murdered or died out. There is nobody of them to return.
The so called “Palestinians” haven’t been expelled by Israelis. Those were Arabs who were conducting an insane anti Israeli propaganda in order to convince them to leave. There are still one million of them living in peace and prosperity in Israel. They have even their representatives in Israeli Parliament, Knesset.
In which Arabic country, the Jews have their representatives in their parliaments?
You have also forgotten, or, perhaps, you have never known about that, that almost one million Jews were expelled from the entire Middle East and North Africa when the Israeli state was constituted.
What about their right to return?
When you realize that Stalin removed the non-Russian native population of Crimea by force, killing nearly half of them, it’s kind of obscene to validate Russia’s possession of Crimea.
Yessir, in the extreme. Carlson has crossed a line I think.
I think he ought to remain in Russia since he likes it so much better.
I think he should be shamed.
I agree.
So Jews have a right to return after 2000 years but Palestinians have not that right after 70 years? Can Indo Europeans return to Kazakhstan? It is only 5000 years.
I want to thank you Jeff for making these insights available. I was resisting such thinking when reading about all the corruption in Ukraine, Biolabs there, payoffs to Biden and others within the Ukranian oligarchy, etc. And I normally like Tucker. However, you’re “Red Pilling” me in this regard: Tragically just because I may see this this current administration in Washington is one big Godless Dumpster Fire, that doesn’t make Putin some kind of wannabe Christian just trying to fight Globalism. The enemy of my enemy doesn’t make him my friend. If I’m not mistaken, such thinking permeated Washington in the early to mid ’40’s when the monstrous Stalin became “Uncle Joe”. And we DID lose China by the end of the decade to that “agrarian reformer” Mao. We’ve been paying for THAT dearly, and the total butcher’s bill from the CCP still hasn’t come due. Thanks again for your blog. One quick suggestion, if possible: I realize you need to go in depth on your audio clips, but if there’s any way you could do briefer summaries (as 20 minutes as opposed to an hour plus) that might get you more listeners. Sorry if I’m wrong about this. Keep up your important work in any case. Communism was is and always will be Satan’s playground, condemned by numerous Popes (besides this one, horribly) and Our Lady of Fatima herself in 1917.
Uh oh. Lavrov is dusting off the old playbook. Transnistria is the new Donbas and Russians there are being “persecuted” by the West’s puppet regime in Moldova. A country that can’t defend itself militarily and is economically vulnerable to Russian pressure is somehow destabilizing the breakaway 90’s throwback republic.
https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/02/16/putin-dusts-off-ukraine-playbook-for-moldova/
The below article has a lot of good information and links on the church war brewing in Ukraine. The Ukrainian Orthodox Church Moscow Patriarchate supposedly broke away from Moscow after Russia’s full-blown invasion but critics say they are still collaborating behind the scenes. Several clerics have been convicted of justifying the invasion and agitating for the Russian occupiers. More serious charges include high treason and providing material support to the enemy (eg storage depots, garrisons, fighting positions). When Carlson accused the Ukrainian government of engaging in religious persecution, he never bothered to look at the evidence or speak to anyone who understood the subject. And how is it religious persecution if a few individual clerics are arrested for political agitation? Freedom of speech doesn’t extend to committing treason in wartime.
https://euromaidanpress.com/2024/02/16/ukraine-convicts-russia-aligned-churchs-cleric-for-pushing-russian-propaganda/
Clearly Carlson is a full-blown convert if he thinks Russian grocery stores are better than Costco or Whole Foods. If he were a real journalist, he would also have gone to a store outside Moscow or St Petersburg to show how that compares to rural America. But he’s not so he won’t.
The situation in Transnistria (a slice of Moldova) has been festering. Russia has large military airstrips there and massive arms stockpiles. There is a small Russian mechanized force holding it. Not sure how they get significant forces there, but Moldova is a real target. Could they do an airlift?
Going from memory from the second gulf war, getting the men to the battle front is quick and the easy part, getting the supplies and armor that they needed took three months. What it sounds like is that Moscow has pre-positioned the supplies and weapons, so that the attack can be quick. All they’ll need is an airlift to get the men there.
Noted.
The Moscow Times (2019) reported 35 million people still use outhouses in Russia.
Did Tucker miss seeing that part of their infrastructure? Approaching 400,000 Russia Soldiers that never came back from the war against Ukraine. Did Tucker interview any of the families that suffered a loss of a young man? He was there for over a week.
I think this is the article
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/04/02/indoor-plumbing-still-a-pipe-dream-for-20-of-russian-households-reports-say-a65049
https://www.quora.com/What-percentage-of-Russians-use-an-outhouse
Tucker was too busy enjoying the Moscow high life. I’m sure his Kremlin guides kept him well away from any outhouses, which are not usually found in the large cities anyway 😊 Besides, if Russia’s winning the war that means only Ukraine is losing men, so nothing to report then. But yes, it’s funny how Tucker complains about US government propaganda and censorship, but he never tried to interview any ordinary Russians to get their opinion. C’mon Tucker, this was your chance to show that Russia is more free than America!
His grocery store video shows that his Everyman routine is a bit of an act. How likely is it that he shops for his own groceries back home? (He was amazed by the cart coin-insert system which has been around for ages in the West) How qualified is he to compare food prices in Russia vs America? How affordable are the items in his cart for ordinary Russians who are not earning American wages? And finally, Tucker praised the affordability of Russian goods without waiting to report on the quality. This was a propaganda short, meant to radicalize MAGA Americans, to make them angry that things in Russia are so much better and more affordable than in America.
The shame is that so many American conservatives will beleive Carlson. And, of course, Moscow is more prosperous than the rest of Russia as others here have noted.
what is important to note is that people like Carlson are controlled the entire time they are there. Nothing has changed from Soviet times. A friend who is now owner Publisher of Soldier of Fortune magazine, was invited to cover an event in Russia before she bought the mag. They told here they would make all travel and lodging arrangements and pay for them. She replied that she wanted to cover the event, but that she would make her own travel and lodging arrangements and pay for them. The next reply was a withdrawal of the invitation.
Putin is still the same KGB thug he always was, and they refuse to relinquish control of those that enter the country to report on events. Anyone thinking Carlson was not controlled is naïve. He would never have been allowed into Russia unless he was controlled. A journalist Carlson is not.
Carlson doesn’t speak a lick of Russian. I’m looking forward to Trevor Loudon talking about Tucker.
Plus the fact, the average Russian income is less than $800 per month.
Tucker Carlson refuses to be called a pro-Soviet propagandist (even mocking the term, “Soviet”). But, sorry to say, these images of Stalin’s proletarian underground cathedrals, whose continued existence today very much demonstrates a seamless and unbroken Soviet reality, ARE completely-over-the-top Soviet propaganda! Slowly but surely, one starts wondering whether someone, by whatever means, could have tampered with Mr. Carlson’s brain – an odd phenomenon we’ve been witnessing so often with Western journalists, politicians and business people ever since the days of the October Revolution!
Mr. Carlson, who is being played by the Soviets like a fiddle, might well one day end up moving to his beloved “Russia” (which he visibly knows nothing about), following in the questionable footsteps of the likes of Gérard Depardieu, Robert De Niro or former Austrian Foreign Minister Karin Kneissl, who laughably considers herself a “political refugee” forced out of the countries of the West:
Carlson is an unread ignoramus. Let him move to Russia and enjoy their world class gulag hospitality. Maybe he will share the same fate as Navalny, whose death has just been revealed.
Today’s headlines, yes. Navalny is dead. I am surprised the Kremlin waited so long to kill him. It is no coincidence that he was murdered a few days after the Carlson interview. I wonder to what extend Carlson’s interview of Putin provided the cover Putin needed to commit this murder? Anyone have any idea?
I don’t. But I’m interested in your reasoning here.
The answer to Carlson’s challenge as to the Moscow Metro is that Mussolini made the trains run on time. Isn’t dictatorship great? Wow. Time to become a fascist, or a closet communist because its so clean and orderly. Can we have another cliche?
Ah, rereading. The lie goes like this, Navalny bad CIA agent, Putin good.
Gateway Pundit has been under enemy influence for awhile. It did not just happen recently.
Yes
I read it to see what kind of propaganda and disinformation the Communists are feeding the Right.
Tucker Carlson, who is right now making a mockery of the principles of journalism (and who doesn’t appear to understand what he is getting himself into), should keep in mind that he defends a system that has murdered dozens of its own critics and journalists, Alexander Litvinenko (1962 – 2006) and Anna Politkovskaya (1958 – 2006) being the most prominent ones. He should also listen to what the late Anna Politkovskaya had to say about the creepy re-Sovietisation in Putin’s “Russia” following Gorbachev and Yeltsin’s modern-day version of NEP from ca. 1987 through 1999 (even though the Soviet Union never really ceased to exist, anyway). Politkovskaya says here:
“What upsets me today is the fact that my work is that of a burial party. This is the worst thing that has happened to me personally. A burial party paying its last respects to the people who died in vain. This is what I think about it: risk, by definition, is part and parcel of our profession. It is not part of a teacher’s profession, or a doctor’s, or many others, but it is part of ours. This is why we are ready for it. I think that a journalist is ready for it, he should face it with open eyes and understand that something may happen. Not take fright, cry and so on. The important question is something else: does anything change because of the article we have written or because we have suffered as a result of writing it? Has anything changed for the better in our society? We live now in an era where normal values have been displaced. The good is called bad, the bad – good. I no longer think that we have freedom of speech in the sense that we had it in the Yeltsin years. Our right to receive and distribute information is rationed. Self-censorship is clearly at work. The majority of publications would not even think of writing about the Chechen issue because they know that they would be snapped at and there would be a lot of trouble. If at the start of the war some papers made a bit of a fuss, today – forget it, there is none of that any more! To call this freedom of speech in accordance with the Constitution – because we do have all these things written into our Constitution – is no longer possible. I am absolutely sure of it. In my opinion, we live in a sort of neo-Soviet era. It is Soviet in ideology, there is even a Party line, the same as before, which one must adhere to …’An enemy of the people’, ‘an anti-Soviet person’, these words are being used once again, but at a ‘new economic level’, with private property, with rich people, but the ideology is going back to the old times. I remember them from my own work … the mid-1980s.”
The death of Alexei Navalny, tragic and far-reaching as it is, could be Tucker Carlson’s final opportunity TO WAKE, THE HELL, UP!
Anna was murdered on October 7, Putin’s birthday. Does anyone think this was a coincidence?
In 2021, 15 years after Anna Politkovskaya’s assassination, her colleagues at Novaya Gazeta made this first-class two-hour documentary about the difficult murder investigation:
I’m not seeing the link. Have read some of her here and there. Can you repost?
Link?
It’s sick.
Thank you Jeff for your diligence, your knowledge in the many highly interesting essays, videos and comments.
There are still some unanswered questions about Navalny: Because the affair with him is a bit strange: he criticized Putin heavily here, called him crazy and even made a film against him, and then flew to the lion’s den in Moscow for no reason, even though his family had long been in the West. He was quite surprised when he was arrested there. Then, in prison, he kept giving interviews to Western media – who is allowed to do that? That gives me some strange thoughts …. He could have achieved much more if he had stayed in the West and continued to rage against Putin.
Heike, maybe the interviews in prison were allowed to cause this sort of uncertainty about him? Or maybe to intimidate his supporters as they see him locked up and his health deteriorating? Just a couple of thoughts.
Or maybe even to draw out more of his supporters so they could be arrested?
Navalny was in prison in Russia. He has a following. The government wants to seem fair, so they allow certain libertyes. He thought they would not dare to kill him. He miscalculated. I am surprised he got as far as he did. No more words from him. This is sad.
9481.37 Rubles for Tucker’s groceries at the Moscow Market. How many Rubles would you pay for the same grocery basket 500 miles outside of Moscow? Could you get the same stuff? What is the average salary in Rubles? I suspect few wager earners in Russia can drop a C Note for one week of food.
The average Russian spends more than half his income per month on food. The same is not true for the average American. Not even close.
Americans eat alot of expensive garbage. The staples in America are dirt cheap. One can eat a nutritionaly complete diet for under 5 dollars a day easily as long as you take a multi vitamin. I get by on less than that.
About 2.50 dollars a day. 150g dry Lentils, 170g sardines, 30g olive oil, 50g kale, 200g tomatoes. About 2000 calories
Jeff, any comments, thoughts regarding the recent death of the jailed Putin political opponent Alexei Navalny?
https://youtu.be/DLulLI5kMRQ?si=s6ZCAAwbQ9g3q6_9
My one thought about Navalny’s tragic murder is the role Tucker Carlson’s interview played in providing cover for this murder.
Carlson’s interview gave legitimacy to a tyrant and serial murderer in the sight of many if not most western conservatives. Surely, if he has any modicum of honour, he will make a statement about the Navalny killing? And with it, an admission that he was wrong to pander to Putin, because as interviews go, that was about as limp-wristed as they come. He’s a disgrace, I dare not articulate my full feelings on that disgusting interview.
A hero and a very brave man, I believe, as Navalny went back to Russia even after being in exile …even after the attempt to poison him with nerve agent in his underwear.
His wife seems to think he’s not really dead. I hope for her sake that he is not. To me, it seems just as likely that he has passed away, because I read some months ago that he was quite sick due to the deplorable conditions he was being kept in.
@JRNyquist: He may have been murdered?
He was murdered and it is sad, though his wife is holding onto some kind of hope I do not think there can be any doubt.

More commentary on Navalny’s apparent murder: https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2024/02/navalny_dead_in_the_gulag_and_putin_crosses_a_line.html
This “American Thinker” piece is unthoughtful. I wish it were not so very American. The writer imagines Putin has done something in killing Navalny that the Soviets never dared to do. Assassination has always been one of their calling cards. Do you thinking shooting the Pope, or Anwar Sadat, or Lavrenti Beria was not their work? And as for writers in the USSR, Osip Mandlestam died in the gulag. Fame did not save him. Was it natural causes? No. Can we compare Navalny to Solzhenitsyn? No. Next absurd question: Is Putin a Rhinoceros? Here is the argument Showalter might have made: A rhino has horns. Putin gored Ukraine. A rhino has a tail. Putin told Carlson a tale. A rhino is thick. Putin is impenetrable. Rhinos are endangered. Putin is dangerous. Well, it is obvious. Our brilliant author, Ms. Monica Showalter, should have described Putin as a rhinoceros. That would have made more sense than saying Carlson’s interview with Putin was “useful.” I ask, “useful to whom?” It was useful cover for Navalny’s murderer. The attention emboldened the murderer. It gave him cover. At least, he felt covered enough to order Navalny’s death; for now he has the most influential of spokespersons. It also compromised Carlson. And do you know how Carlson reacted to Putin’s murderous act? Carlson said all governments kill people. So what? Now try and name a U.S. president who ordered the death of a rival politician. Find one true example. Showalter pisses me off.
Dear BRCC, Navalny can now be compared with the greatest Polish hero of all time, Witold Pilecki. Perhaps, one day Russia and her people will benefit from his superhuman sacrifice.

I have followed geopolitical analyst Peter Zeihan for a while and seems he too echoes a lot of what Jeff says regarding Ukraine and Russia, China.
Jeff, are you familiar with Zeihan and have you ever spoken with him?
https://youtu.be/_AfnIefCDLs?si=j9rsd1XpGyrj1umJ
I have not spoken with Zeihan, but I think he has some fascinating economic insights.
I’ve heard several interviews where he asserts confidently that China is on the brink of collapse and represents zero threat to the US. So I’m interested in this clip ….
I watch Zeihan too, I want to like Peter, because his channel is so polished. He has a pragmatic approach of explaining resources and physical limits as applied to geopolitics. However, I distinctly remember him saying a while back that China would collapse, and right after that they grew in GDP exponentially. Everyone makes mistakes, but I remain cautious, because there are so many other factors to take into account. He can speak prolifically on topics at length; often while walking at breakneck speed too. I feel his fast pace creates a more believable and captivating lecture. However, as with any analysis, use discernment.
I believe the video you are interested in is on YT, under his channel, titled:
Don’t Be Surprised by China’s Collapse || Peter Zeihan
In the naive Western narrative, Chinese and Russia Communism are always in the state of eminent collapse. Nyquist had a more succinct line in Origins of the Fourth World War.
Ah. Interesting. I’ve not seen him talk about EMP or nuclear war
Dear BEDLAMSBARD1, I agree with you that we are naive in expecting China’s imminent collapse. Peter Zeihan is as wrong on that as Gordon Chang who keeps predicting it for the last twenty years. Chinese commies will rather apply the Samsonian option before they go down.
However, they are in BIG TROUBLE; their economic data is based on lies and their national debt/GDP ratio is about 300%, almost three times bigger than America’s own. They are three time BANCRUPT over…
Regards – Bogdan
I’m aware. Stalin I think had a cavalier attitude towards inflation. Zeros can be added or subtracted quite easily.
Zeihan has predicted China’s economy will implode. There are many observers of China that are saying teh same thing, and they live din China for years. They only left when the regime started giving western people a hard time. One of them had his motorcycle stolen by the Police for no reason whatever.
I would not expect the Chinese economy to be showing anything like an implosion in the statistics. One thing Zeihan has gotten burned on, and why he always qualified predictions on Russia is China is the unreliability of information coming out of both places. It does not surprise me that statistics showed a bounce in GDP. China is working hard to paper over , and that work includes lying about what is goin on internally. The problems caused by the real estate sector are deadly if not solved soon. Problem is, the money that went into it was private and the regime can not afford to make things good for most of those who have put money in. Most of them have already paid for apartments and Condos, and that money is now lost.
Zeihan’s presentation are smooth and polished because he has been doing what is doing for many years and knows the information behind what he says. To claim that Zeihan is infallible would be ridiculous. To say he isn’t good in what he does, is no surprise. He does make mistakes, but he normally catches them and corrects himself on camera. Criticizing Zeihan for being polished is no different than criticizing Jeff for the same thing. Jeff writes well and his work is polished. I would expect nothing less.
Jeff, and his brother Greg, did a discussion about 13 years ago about the global economy. What stuck out to me is that the USi s both the largest debtor and loaner in the world. 20 years ago there were predictions of eniment financial ruin of China. Greg was skeptical. He said that the financial wizards seem to be able to keep it all afloat. The duration was the ultimate question. Old Jeff Nyquist programs on ITunes
Here is one from 3 days ago regarding Carlson and the war in Ukraine
https://youtu.be/GCaAKMRe1SY?si=MnOnmpQ_dJbQ15uQ
Yes. Zeihan has a very low opinion of Carlson and tells people that Carlson is basically a clown controlled by Putin and that people should not listen to him. By listening to Carlson, you aren’t just uninformed, you are badly misinformed. Zeihan’s judgment of Carlson is on the button.
Moscow subway station and how clean and orderly it is, is surely the proper criterion of what kind of a country and government exists there…
Might as well start glossing over the places of incarceration, like the still existing Gulags, and visit them and see how “orderly” the inmates are and how clean everything is and organized and how reformed the people are when they leave the place.
Russian communism (and Chinese etc.) or any other country’s communist regime and thus the quality of live in these countries is based on FEAR and nothing else but fear – which means what will happen if one becomes enemy of the government, or falls into some disorders and so on, and then the communist (tyrannical and thus always illegitimate) government forces its evil methods of “reforming the character” of such people, as the history of communism clearly shows – in blood and communist tyranny, and in nothing else.
What is Mr. Carlson trying to accomplish ? It is truly absurd, and taken out of context, and it is at this point pro-communist propaganda (and very active one might add).
There were people as then UK PM Chamberlain and his counter-part in France (name is probably Deladier or some such name) and they were both saying nice things about Hitler at 1938 Munich, and then Hitler attacked their respective countries and all this flawed appeasement idiotic mentality was gone very fast.
But this time there is much more danger at play, which means nuclear warfare, in the hands of fanatical criminal communist state-run Mafia, of the Kremlin and Beijing, and so what their train and subway stations look like is absolutely immaterial, as the questions should be asked what will the train and subway stations look like in NYC or DC, when they are nuked by Russian ICBM with 10 or more warheads, whether they will still exist…?
Once a nations begins to recognize communist tyrannical unjust atheistic regimes and begins to shake hands with these Bolshevik criminals, the outcome is that they will (and always do) use that opportunity to subvert the target nations into their own communist orbit, by active subversion and infiltration operations, including the media and government entities and recruitment of their members, or installment into such entities the Communist Party members or communist agents.
And then they produce things of this nature, about their clean subways – but they are still communist run subways, nothing less.
Russian Communists had efficient means of disposal of the poor souls building the Road of Bones too.
In regards to the Russian communist invasion of Ukraine – there is absolutely no justification for it, but the problem with the approach of how the EU countries and now the US illegitimate government take it is appalling – because it seems that their own face and their desperate attempt not to loose it (or not to loose it very quickly) is the criteria why these countries seem to help Ukraine, but these governments are already run by Moscow run controlled opposition, meaning these are socialist and communist assets (no need to name them as this is evident in their results) – and the Kremlin communist Mafia must keep this going for the sake of maintaining the excuse to continue the war and to escalate it towards the US and Western Europe and, of course the CCP against Taiwan and Japan.
The ends justifies the means in these fanatical communist minds, and they have not changed anything in it – it is still the same.
The only way to substantially help Ukraine is now to nuke the Kremlin, and Beijing, but that would be only a trigger to WW3, and the KGB-GRU spies within the US and EU governments and military might prevent that from ever happening…it is truly unrealistic unreal situation, and very well planned ahead…Russian planned.
God will repay these evils one day, but the price they will cause will be horrendous.

This video is old – but it should clarify the point for you, sir.
Not all Americans are half-wits when it comes to communism and its evils, and there were some in the past who, for their anti-communist bravery and tireless work against communism, were murdered by the communists…
This link shows one of them, probably one of the greatest of the enemies of Russian communism, who in fact used his influence to try to change the tide and make people aware that there were Stalinist etc. communist agents inside the US, UK and other western European governments, who (all of them) were working to destroy liberty of conscience and the existing order which guarantees it.
One of the worst betrayals of this holy principle of individual dignity and conscience has happened at Yalta, by pro-communist traitors as Churchill and FDR.
Ever since then the slippery slope of sliding towards communist worldwide dictatorship has not been any less slippery, quite the opposite.
Joseph McCarthy was murdered?
Interesting, as I thought he died of cirrhosis of the liver later from drinking heavily as he was vilified by his own Party for years, by outing Communists in our State Department and other federal ABC agencies.
M. Stanton Evans wrote a great book detailing the story and the persecution of McCarthy by the leader of the Senate (fellow Dem) at the time as well as President Truman that most Americans are not even aware of.
Correction: 4th ranking Democrat Millard Tydings was responsible for the attacks on McCarthy in the Senate.
Just as prominently, Hungary was thrown under the bus in that same year of 1956 (mere months after the crushed Poznań Protests in Poland), when the brave Hungarians were just about to topple their communist tyrants, but, alas, contrary to all friendly messaging, no Western help ever arrived. In those years following the death of Stalin, the communist world was at its weakest, and Pres. Eisenhower could and should have dared a “roll-back” and try turn the tide of world revolution. Sadly and tragically, the politicians in the West never had it in them to really stand up against what indeed was and still is: the “evil empire”, not even Pres. Reagan (as far as his second term is concerned, when he allowed himself, like British PM Thatcher, to be deceived by Gorbachev, hook, line and sinker).
Thatcher – she said it herself – God help us if we are wrong…(regarding Gorbachov).
Reagan – well, there is the known and unknown. The known is, or was, visible, the unknown he himself has to answer for to God. But it is the principle of justice that must never be violated and or betrayed, because if it is betrayed, as it stands in its own exclusive right, and the truth as its foundation, then the whole system of values crumbles and nothing is left but misery at the end.
In simple terms – “…To him therefore who knoweth to do good, and doth it not, to him it is sin…” (Epistle of St. James 4 : 17).
Witold, Witold, what about learning some English before you post your disrespectful comment on the website that is filled with friends and supporters of Poland? I’ve learned English when I was already thirty four and even if it is pretty hard at that age everyone can do this. Haven’t you noticed that roughly half of Poland’s voters voted for the criminal syndicate that calls itself “Citizen’s Platform” even if the leadership of that monster is as rabidly as brazenly anti Polish, pro Russia and pro BEAST from Brussels? What about patriotism of those “Poles” who voted for them?
Remove the log from your own eye before you try to remove the splinter from someone else’s eye.
QUOTE :
It’s Lenin’s NEP 2.0 — ! All communist countries are based on state capitalism where the “oligarchs” are agents of the state who pretend to be independent businessmen.
———-
Good point – BUT the following should be added – they are all “former” communists and communist agents, ordinary people have had their communist stolen property returned, but only realized afterwards that the policies of the state and taxes and fees make it nearly impossible for them to run it, maintain it and or use it as businesses…which is all by communist design.
Yes, there are some who pulled through, but overall the situation is artificially created to that the private property is again controlled by the state and the people running it – which means (again) “former” communists.
So the whole thing is a farce – by design, to make believe that communist economic policies are no longer in place, but then the new policies of the state lead back into these totalitarian communist conditions, which, to add to this truth, the ordinary people are very well accustomed to, so there is no chance of any substantial revolt – and what is happening now in EU regarding the farmers etc., that is only the aftermath of these socialist policies going too far for a moment, so they will back off a little and then try again…later.
Earlier today in Vilnius, Lithuania:
Welp, I was wondering how Nalvany’s murder would be spun to the “Right”, and how quickly they would try to muddy the waters around him.
https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2024/02/was-russian-opposition-leader-navalny-cia-op-former/
Here we go. CIA to blame for Holodomor next?
Jeff, maybe the Gateway Pundit propaganda piece contains a small clue relevant to your question of how Carlson’s interview may have provided some kind of cover for the murder. It quotes that RT first reported this tape Monday.
The idea that Navalny, a Russian nationalist, would take money from a foreign power, is ridiculous.
I think you misunderstood my comment, but I realized after I posted it that it didn’t make much sense anyway. They merely showed the video ahead of his murder in order to use it for propaganda to discredit him afterwards.

As far as it was known he died of diabetes unknown…
The word unknown makes it into a very important conclusion – he was their target, and most importantly, he was Catholic, and so if he was heavily drinking as the communists wanted to paint him as such, to make him look like a crazy person, so that they could discredit what he was saying about them, and BTW, Sen. McCarthy was a Republican from Wisconsin.
But as real Catholic in 1950s, he would surely know that it is a mortal sin in front of God to drink to excess, and or to cause and be involved in any scandalous behavior.
What you are saying has been spread around about him, but it doesn’t fit, and the facts that the Archbishop of DC offered requiem Mass for him at his funeral show that he was in good standing with the Catholic Church.
Link with the official 1957 AD newspaper article is here :
https://thecatholicnewsarchive.org/?a=d&d=ca19570511-01.2.26&srpos=10&e=——-en-20–1–txt-txIN-Senator+Joseph+McCarthy——-
There are people who believe Sen. McCarthy was poisoned, and that then they the commies tried to cover it up…which his death looks that way because of the term diabetes UNKNOWN.
If he was of bad repute, he wouldn’t have an Archbishop offering a requiem Mass for him…no way !
I stand corrected. McCarthy was a Republican Senator from Wisconsin.
There is always room for common mistakes.
There were certain characters on the YouTube etc. who had produced certain “documentaries” about people as Gen. Patton and Sen. McCarthy, spreading disinformation and such like data more favorable to the official communist propaganda, but these facts about these 2 people for example point to something else…and their deaths benefited Stalin’s and Khrushchev’s communist goals.
In case of Sen. McCarthy what the commies hated and do hate him for the most is that he was urging active resistance to communism and total separation from such countries, which of course would be a major disaster to their communist cause because then their communist subversion operations would be seriously hampered. He had to go, and they had the means (poisons) even back then.
Brezhnev said that lot of people don’t understand detente – they condemn it as opening up the Soviet Bloc to contacts with the hated capitalist countries, but he said that on the contrary this opening door to the West gives the Bolsheviks free access to the various political parties and governments, and of course access to their main tools of espionage and communist subversion, sabotage etc. = the local communist parties.
Russians do not miss a trick at all, they have over a century of communist experience in furthering evil, and so that’s why it has been so successful…and of course it is the devil himself behind all this, and these are his slaves and collaborators as they don’t even believe that he exists, so that much more he has it easier with them…to rule them.
And, Putin is still a communist and Soviet, no matter how much the useful idiots at TGP and other places wish to deny it.
And the same kind of correction here – it was not diabetes but hepatitis unknown. A glitch in memory or the medical terms mixed up, and of course mea culpa afterwards.
BTW the video of Sen. McCarthy replying to that communist asset Murrow has some very hateful comments, one more than the other. It is like a targeted council of hornets gathering to make noise…probably the CPUSA had to have its members come up with targeted communist propaganda about McCarthy because what he proposed the most is still very much topical and important – and now it not only concerns severing contacts and any relationship with China, but also Russia etc., which would be a major problem for them, at this point anyway…they are not yet fully prepared to begin the attack, at least it doesn’t seem like they would be ready and so any such like diplomatic, economic and any other termination of contacts from the US Government and EU would cause more harm to these communist criminals – so they don’t want these ideas as Sen. McCarthy voiced in that video to remain without their attacking them…
But yes, he died of hepatitis unknown.
It is hard to tell whether the communist powers are ready to take the great plunge. They seem to want a more gradual series of steps at this point.
Well I wanted to give some purchase pricing parity stats for food staples in USA vs Russia. Too difficult to make a conclusion. Jeff has in right mainly.
Mr. Nyquist, concerning this almost certain upcoming military conflict between the US, Europe versus the Neocommunist bloc, do you think other nations in Latin America would “feel free” to take some actions that in normal circumstances they wouldn’t, because they are too afraid of sanctions and humans rights activists lobby protecting drug cartels through official organizations such as the UN?
I have a feeling that there are reliable people in the military, but they are afraid of going through a path that would make them vulnerable to globalist and communist propaganda in the media that would end up making the population see them as autoritarians and this would lead to a complete political takeover and indoctrination of the military.
When the police and the military act against drug and money laundering power in the region, they face a big structure of international organizations that work to protect the crime, i will give one example, an operation against a criminal organization ended with several people arrested and some criminals killed. At the the police department, when the criminals arrived there were already lawyers, reporters and activists that would do the inversion and make the public opinion see the police as the criminals and these criminals as victims. So, imagine what a complete repression of criminal groups would provoke…
But with a world war everything becomes chaotic and this opportunity is seized by organized groups that proceed to some direct actions that they wouldn’t in peace time, censorship becomes common and the law system (wich is already a lie) becomes even more flexible.
In other words, excluding those countries with marxist doctrine in the army (Venezuela and Cuba), could it be that in this future conflict we would witness some backslash effect against leftist regimes in Latin America, like it happened in the last century with a series of military coups?
The communists want to preserve their control as we descend into chaos. This suggests a slow approach. Too much chaos a too fast and they lose too. There are so many factors. But they might be running out of time.
Are they running out of time? That’s the $64,000 question.
How long can Russia maintain its wartime economy? Already reports say that they are getting weapons and supplies from China, North Korea, Iran and where else? Doesn’t that suggest that they are not able to maintain their forces for more than maybe a year or two?
Then there’s China. It’s already seething against the CCP, but so far the PLA is keeping a lid on things. Exports are down significantly even according to untrustworthy government stats, unemployment up so much that youth unemployment is no longer counted, production is down, even workers who have jobs are seeing their pay delayed or not paid at all, including workers in government jobs (you can bet that the PLA is still getting paid), money is being frozen in banks, restrictions on travel—all these and more resulting in demonstrations, even demonstrations calling for the CCP and Chi to step down, how much more would it take for the people to rise up against the CCP? With all the gun plans available on the web, will the people be as helpless against the PLA as at Tien En Men? How long can the CCP keep the troops they’ve smuggled into the U.S.? Those that they have stationed in northern Mexico? How long can the CCP hold out before they will be forced by internal events to attack?
Already the CCP supported junta in Burma (Mianmar) has lost control of much of the countryside to rebels, many armed with quality weapons made from online plans from the web. Can the same thing happen in China?
Are they running out of time?
Since the Russians and Chinese do not allow dissent we can say the killing of Navalny might be the canary in the coal mine. They needed to move forward and this man was in the way. These communist leaders are able to inflict great suffering on their people. They are mobilizing while the West sits idle. At some point everything will be in readiness. But can they begin the war while Ukraine is able to resist? I am not sure that is possible. Russia’s military failings are serious ones. However, there may be a political stunt here. Also, a renewed Korean War might be the next show to drop, or a larger war in the Middle East. Or both. They are trying to collapse our alliances, our economy, our unity. They have a way to yet.
As long as the Russian strategists (which means the Kremlin – i..e. Putin) sees that the communist subversion is not yet fully complete, they will delay the military attack, and rather encourage local strife and perhaps civil war, which then liberates their hands the more because they can join the leftist (communist) side of the local conflict and channel weapons and troops under that disguise to win the conflict without being recognized behind it in the first place.
This opinion has a historical precedent and a very important one – Spanish Civil War and also the communist (Russian) takeover of various African countries, and also Cuban Revolution and Venezuela and their attempt in 1969 in Chile etc. – and now the war in Ukraine, which could easily escalate into more spread-out conflict.
No, they are not fully ready, but shouldn’t be underestimated that they are not…it is truly difficult to determine because they are hiding their weaponry and war military resources, but their movements are telling of their intent.
Of course as long as they can keep it localized and only fuel the spread of it, they would certainly prefer it this way, but then nothing prevents them from a surprise nuclear attack, which could completely decimate their main enemy, which means the United States.
There is now perhaps a way to tell this – the situation developing in Venezuela – the possibility of war over oil drilling in that region and Maduro moving his troops to attack Guayama – if this escalates and the CCP and Russians get involved and perhaps at the same time the war in Ukraine takes another worse turn, and the situation in Middle East and Israel become worse, these may be the indicators that the war is on.
But it is true – it is very hard to determine how exactly they will proceed, which is their point of strategy to begin with, and they know it (Moscow that is). They are trying to provoke civil war in the US and for some time, but they know it is highly unlikely, but then they can provoke (order) a full blown communist revolution, which seems to prove the reason why Biden and the gang allows so many illegals inside the country – which is most definitely part of the Moscow’s strategy.
It is a very bad and dangerous situation and all the Kremlin has to do is to give the marching orders and the terrorist sabotage and fighting will be done in the name of the “invasion of illegals” into the US, and Russian and China will not be directly implicated in it until it is too late. And the “Islamic terrorism” which has the Moscow’s commanding hands in it since its foundation…
Yes. Biden is working with the Russians. That is mind-boggling to many. But then, so much that we see is smoke and mirrors. It is difficult to understand all the moving parts.
There are perhaps ways to explain it – either he is convinced communist to the core, which means communist fanatic and this is the worse case scenario, or he is perhaps in some way so compromised that they persuaded him to cooperate long time ago and when he began to, they forced him to sign up with his blood (as with the devil) because then they hold much more damaging compromising data on him – which means treason, so he has no choice.
In his case there is inclination to believe the first case scenario…but he doesn’t know that when he is no longer needed by the Kremlin, they will exterminate him with his whole criminal family, without a blink of an eye. They’ve done it to Ceausescu in Romania in some way, and to some other perhaps.
No, there is not really any smoke and mirrors, as long as people have eyes open and see through what is taking place and the fruits of it, then all is clear – they truly want to run the whole world and America and the rest of the resistance (even the potential future resistance) stands in their way…and so they are absolutely convinced that such countries must be destroyed and even eliminated, if necessary…made into a nuclear wilderness etc. It is truly the devil behind this evil, Russian and Chinese communist evil.
Jeff, I meant to comment on one observation I noticed right way upon first reading the title of your article currently being discussed here.
I’m curious if it was by design or mere coincidence but the title is similar to the title of a book I read years ago. The book (1971) is entitled “None Dare Call It Conspiracy” co-written by Gary Allen and Larry Abraham.
Allen was a prominent Bircher who wrote that “the Elite” manage modern political and economic systems by using elements of Marx’ Communist Manifesto to bring about their socialist and communist agenda.
He wrote about other topics as well such as The New World Order, the CFR, and the Trilateral Commission. In my opinion, the book seems a bit conspiratorial, but did have some interesting points.
So again, just curious, was this article title a play on that book’s title or mere coincidence?
Allen’s book was a take-off on a book with the title “None Dare Call it Treason.” This was not a conspiracy book. The author, John Stormer, wrote about Golitsyn in the final edition.
Interesting. Good to know. Thanks
