EMBRACING LIES AT RISK OF CAREER DEATH: WITHIN THE WESTERN ELITE BELIEF BUBBLE

Where has objectivity gone regarding the Ukraine conflict within western political & media elites? How can anyone comprehend the conflict in its entirety when only one side is ever depicted by them?

So much of what is going on among the western political elites is strongly reminiscent of the story about the emperor’s new clothes that no one could see. 


From Wikipedia:


‘"The Emperor's New Clothes" is a literary folktale written by Danish author Hans Christian Andersen, about a vain emperor who gets exposed before his subjects. The tale has been translated into over 100 languages.’


You will no doubt be familiar with this story but for those who are not here is a brief synopsis:


From Wikipedia:


‘There is an emperor who has an obsession with fancy new clothes, and spends lavishly on them, at the expense of state matters. One day two con-men visit the emperor's capital. Posing as weavers, they offer to supply him with magnificent clothes that are invisible to those who are incompetent or stupid. The emperor hires them, and they set up looms and pretend to go to work. A succession of officials, starting with the emperor's wise and competent minister, and then ending with the emperor himself, visit them to check their progress. Each sees that the looms are empty but pretends otherwise to avoid being thought a fool.


Finally, the weavers report that the emperor's suit is finished. They mime dressing him and he sets off in a procession before the whole city. The townsfolk uncomfortably go along with the pretense, not wanting to appear inept or stupid, until a child blurts out that the emperor is wearing nothing at all. The people then realize that everyone has been fooled. Although startled, the emperor continues the procession, walking more proudly than ever.’


Within the western elite belief bubble there are certain narratives that cannot be contradicted. Anyone even mildly suggesting that these narratives may be wrong or who even gives the slightest impression that perhaps, just maybe they are not completely correct, will certainly be marked down as a danger to the unity considered essential on the issue in question.


Currently, and for over a decade now, the primary issue where absolute unity is demanded of all western elites, both political and media, is Ukraine. The narratives suiting western national interests were agreed long before the current crisis in Ukraine. These narratives will be defended to the end. Any contradictory facts will be kept outside of the belief bubble that every western official keeps in his or her head. Group thought discipline is maintained at all times on pain of if not death then career death at least. If an official in the West at any level mouths any fact not within the agreed narrative that official has no future within the western elite superstructure.


Add to this situation regarding the maintenance of certain “facts” as self-evident and beyond contradiction we have the ‘War Mode’ discipline which also has a history in the West going back to Vladimir Putin’s address in Munich in February of 2007. War Mode stipulates that ‘the enemy’ is to be attacked using every device possible, that nothing even remotely positive shall be said concerning the enemy and that he, she or it will be subject to a diplomacy-free exclusion until destroyed or defeated. The group thought agreement that prevails now in relation to all of the above is evident in every speech made in the West on Russia or Ukraine and in every article printed and published by western legacy media or broadcast via the major TV/video news broadcasters.


Those who attempt to point out the situation above, if identified, will find themselves talked of in the most pejorative terms as the puppets of ‘the enemy’, as the spreaders of misinformation and fake news. Such people or organisations, if their profile reaches a certain level will be subject to attacks attempting to shut them up or at least degrade their ability to reach a wider audience. If the person or organisation becomes so popular that western state officials feel there is a tangible threat to their narratives then an extra level of attack will be mounted incorporating western intelligence agencies using PsyOps (Psychological Operations).


These ‘emperors’ speak of a fixed “reality”, one that they repeat at regular intervals in the hope of making an indelible impression in the minds of their ‘subjects’. In these “realities” emerging directly from within the western elite ‘belief bubble’ Russia made a wholly unprovoked attack upon Ukraine negating all evidence to the contrary stretching back to at least 2014. For them NATO is a wholly benign defensive organisation that wouldn’t hurt a fly, totally ignoring the violence perpetrated by NATO on Serbia and Libya and its use as the primary western weapon against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. They will state unequivocally and quite shamefacedly that Ukraine is a democratic state while maintaining blinkers firmly in place regarding the acts of despotism and dictatorship that have characterised the Ukrainian state in recent times.


Unfortunately for the ‘emperors’ of the West the populace who they look to for support in promulgating the ‘facts’ within the western belief bubble on Ukraine are, in increasing numbers, unconvinced. They smell a rat. Too many actual facts have leaked out from Ukraine over the last two years and more. Too many expert analysts have found ways to contradict and expose the agreed upon narrative fabrications of western state officials. These analysts have no dog in the race except to provide an accurate assessment regarding the genesis of the conflict in Ukraine and the situation there as it continues to unfold. They are far more likely to be trusted than the western officials and the various media productions that maintain an unchanging prejudice regarding one side and a ceaselessly positive treatment of the other.

HOW MANY UKRAINIAN LIVES MUST BE LOST IN AN ATTEMPT TO SAVE WESTERN POLITICAL REPUTATIONS?

Russia was never going to be defeated as the western powers hoped, not since it survived the onslaught of western sanctions. From that point of realisation the West ought to have sued for peace.

The current figure for Ukrainian army losses since the outbreak of violent confrontation in February 2022 stands at just over half a million. Another thousand or so are added to that figure each day. These losses were brought about by the complete absence of anything approaching diplomacy regarding Russia’s concerns over its security. 


The violence began much earlier of course, in the first few months of 2014. It was then that the Ukrainian army arrived in eastern Ukraine and began their campaign of terror against the civilian population there. You can be forgiven for not knowing anything about this campaign as western mainstream/legacy media maintained a vow of silence concerning it for an entire decade. Even now it will not be spoken of by any mainstream media news outlet across the western world.


There were reports from eastern Ukraine but they were composed of an inference that every wrong occurring there was the result of Russian influence. This was a crime of omission by all western mainstream news media editors. The deaths were reported but not those who were responsible. They were silent on this point. It was left to the biased slant implying Russian wrong-doing to give the impression to readers and viewers alike that it had been the Russians who had caused these deaths.


In fact it was the Ukrainian armed forces and neo-Nazi militias who had committed these crimes against humanity. By setting up their mortars and sending random shells into the villages, towns and cities of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions it cannot possibly be more obvious to news editors in the West who is responsible. Yet not a word was spoken clarifying this clear fact. The Ukrainian army laid siege to these regions and began a slaughter in 2014 that continues to this day.


Even now you will not hear the fact of the continuing Ukrainian army crimes against humanity, against innocent civilians, that go on day after day. It simply doesn’t suit the common elite western interest to relate this fact. The civilian population of these regions are already dead to the cold, calculating minds of western politicians, news editors and commentators. They have been rendered null and void ever since they stood up to be counted against the west-assisted insurrectionists who stole their democracy on Kiev’s Maidan Square in 2014.


Despite the horrors perpetrated upon the Russian-speaking civilian population of the Donbass regions Vladimir Putin went every extra mile to gain them the level of autonomy that could bring peace about. He was thwarted by notorious trickery by the western elites, people like Angela Merkel and Francoise Hollande who never had any intention of moving the situation toward a peaceful outcome, there goal was to give the Ukrainian regime time to rearm and bring its army up to NATO specifications. They conspired in essence to move an already bad situation toward an even worse one of all out war. 


The absolutely horrendous toll of lost Ukrainian troops which heads this commentary grows each day. The hands of Merkel and Hollande run bloody as they are directly responsible. And even now, we see not a single leading western politician in the USA, UK or EU calling for negotiations that could lead to peace. No diplomacy is advocated, all that you hear are calls for more war, more weapons and more munitions for Ukraine. War, war and ever more war. A thousand are lost to the Ukrainian army per day yet no one among the western political elites or those who run mainstream media news call for an end to this bloodbath.


The western political elites must know that their long planned undermining of Russia and regime change there has failed. As soon as it became clear that Russia was not going to be brought to catastrophic ruin through the West’s sanctions after being goaded and pressured to start its operation in Ukraine. The Russian economy was meant to collapse. It didn’t. The Russian population was supposed to rise up and sweep away the present Russian hierarchy. It didn’t happen. Yet still the western elites press on in the knowledge that the gambit to bring down Russia is causing thousands of lives to be lost to no purpose save one, a vain attempt to somehow, some way to save their reputations,


Fantasy, wishful thinking and barefaced lies are in epidemic proportions across all western elites who have any connection to the situation in Ukraine. The uniformity of the delusion they suffer under is both striking and frightening. They desperately seek to guard their reputations at the expense of immense Ukrainian suffering. What won’t such people do in support of their impossible aim of bringing Russia down? What atrocities are such people willing to contemplate? How many hundreds of thousands of partially trained, Ukrainian cannon-fodder are they willing to see die or be horrendously injured just to save what is overwhelmingly vital for all of them, their oh-so-important reputations?

THE CRUSADER STATE IS PLAYING ALL ITS USUAL GAMES

* Crusader State is the description given to the U.S.A. by Professor John J. Mearsheimer.

Despite all its rhetoric about all the rogue states it projects onto the world there is in reality only one primary rogue state on the planet, that is the crusader state of the USA.

The Biden administration has finally decided upon the fate of Ukraine. It has recognised that Russia cannot now be stopped from taking all territory to the Dnieper river in Ukraine. The acknowledgement that this will occur has crossed the t’s and dotted the i’s on future policy for their proxies in Kiev. With Russia at the Dnieper the regime will then attack Russia using long-range missiles. This will be the semi-frozen conflict that suits Washington’s purposes. Russia will be required to use further revenues to fight with the regime on a continuing basis, those areas Russia has incorporated into the Russian Federation will continue to be disputed as part of Ukraine and Washington can now turn its attention toward China.

Blinken has just returned from China where the first part of the USA’s game plan for the immediate future was initiated. This comprised the gambit of a spurious warning to Beijing that if it didn’t stop supporting Russia in Ukraine there would be consequences. Of course there was no expectation that China would ever abandon Russia as an ally and the consequences are already prepared and were always intended to be set in motion with the justification that Beijing didn’t do what it was told.

The biggest lie Blinken told in Beijing was that China played a crucial part in assisting Russia in Ukraine, that Russia couldn’t do what it is doing there without China’s crucial assistance in supplying military equipment and parts. This lie was necessary to make China’s part in the conflict appear a major factor, something truly objectionable, objectionable enough for the ‘consequences’ lined up to be fully justifiable. The rhetoric will be along the lines of China being a fundamental threat to European democracy and quite possibly will include the resurrection of the old standby. ‘Evil Empire’.

Blinken made the claim that Russia could hardly do a thing in Ukraine without China’s help just as Russia finds that its military capacity is in fact greater than required and that an excess of weaponry and munitions will now be stockpiled. To assert that Russia needs China to continue fighting in Ukraine is blatant hogwash. A necessary hogwash however, required to give a patina of surface credibility to the financial and economic attacks that the USA has long planned for China. For China was always to be the main target for the crusader state. The original plan for dissolving and reconstitution the Russian state via conflict with Ukraine was meant to be accomplished over a very short time period as Russia disintegrated due to the financial and economic sanctions applied to it. This having failed a new game plan (detailed at the head of this commentary) has been agreed.

The game plan for Russia has very little likelihood of success however. Russia, having arrived at the Dnieper will continue to have overwhelming superiority of both offence and defence. Russia’s air defence systems will repel all but a very few Ukrainian missiles. It will also down any F16s or other aircraft the West supplies the Kiev regime. Russia’s own air force will have air superiority across all that is left of Ukraine while Russia’s satellites, having far less territory for their surveillance range will allow accurate targeting for missile systems brought up to the new battle lines by the Dnieper. Russia will still hold all the cards in terms of resources, manpower, munitions supply and weaponry. Rump Ukraine will not be any better off and in fact will be much easier to induce into agreeing to negotiations leading to a final settlement.

Sooner or later there will have to be elections in Ukraine. Either that or a permanent dictatorship will be installed with Zelensky as the 'Great Leader’ continuing his already draconian rule of repression and security apparatus intimidation. However, should elections take place there can be little doubt that the Ukrainian people, given the chance, will run Zelensky and his minions out of office with alacrity. The new president and government of Ukraine will then without doubt reflect the by now long determined and fervent wish for peace with Russia. Washington’s plans will then lie in ruins with no possible way forward in their scheme to achieve regime change in Russia and the dismantlement of the Russian state and break up of the nation into manageable parts.

Yet still the machinations of the American political elites will continue. Plan after plan will be agreed and initiated for there is clearly no retreating for the crusader state. Always another crusade will be required, another overseas enterprise that can feed its military industrial complex and in so doing guarantee its supply of contributions to their electoral campaign coffers. The deadly game plan for others will continue. Yet Russia will be out of their grasp and Ukraine also. The focus on China and their determination to make it the mother of all crusades will become their final, last gasp attempt to shore up their fast ending dominance over others. De-dollarization by the time this point is reached will have reached a peak and finally, sometime in the following years the crusaders will finally find they have undeniably lost every last one of their iniquitous crusades.

OLD, AMATEUR, SICK & UNTRAINED - THE UKRAINIAN ARMY NOW

As the conflict in Ukraine grinds on myths that were spread in the West regarding a noble struggle by a heroic Ukraine against an evil Russia are being exploded by the day. A tragedy is being exposed.

The Ukrainian army was sent to eastern Ukraine to assert the authority of the illegal Ukrainian government that took over after the Maidan coup in 2014. It was an army that had suffered underinvestment of all kinds in the years preceding this time. Subsequently its cack-handed approach to the civilian population in eastern Ukraine was unsurprising. Violence soon broke out as resistance to this armed force was inevitable. Diplomacy ought to have been the way forward but after the ultraviolence seen in the insurrection that brought the new regime into being (backed by the USA, UK and EU) diplomacy had been all but abandoned in Ukraine.

The Ukrainian army sent to discipline the rebellious majority in eastern Ukraine, after stirring up the resentment and opposition that led inevitably to violence were however, not strongly motivated enough for the regime and so the most extreme of the ultranationalists who had played a decisive part in the Maidan coup were used for this purpose. Given mortars and shells they set up outside Donbass villages, towns and cities and fired at random into them. They were unconcerned where these shells fell or who they killed or maimed as a consequence. The most radical of those who arrived hated ALL those who spoke Russian rather than Ukrainian they called ‘Moskals’. Those they considered to be Russian no matter that they lived in Ukraine. They spoke Russian and that was enough for these extremists. Whether the elderly, women, children, it didn’t matter to them. they were all Moskals, Russians. The structures most commonly hit were the Soviet era residential blocks but also hit were hospitals, school buildings and government offices.  

The radicals off the Maidan were eventually incorporated officially into the Ukrainian national guard and it remains the case that these are the ideologically-motivated forces that continue to fight in the Russo-Ukrainian conflict today. Their numbers however are much reduced by this point due to the Russian military tactic of attrition. The numbers too of the NATO-trained troops have been very much reduced also. And the Ukrainian army that first arrived in the Donbass to discipline the civilian population there is all but gone, wiped out by the overwhelming advantage the Russian army has had over the last two years. 

Now the Ukrainian regime is scrambling to take whoever it can get into its now much reduced army. For some time now it has been incorporating increasingly older men and at times women into its forces. It began many months ago to violently take men off the street, bundling them into cars, giving them a week or two of training (if that) before sending them off to be cannon-fodder on the front lines. The average age of a Ukrainian trooper now stands at 43 years of age. Even a disabled, Downs Syndrome man has been seen in uniform at the front. Those being sent there include the increasingly young and always the partially trained. They then find themselves in a meat-grinder where they never even see a Russia but are only pummelled day and night by Russian artillery fire.

Yet even while the above goes on relentlessly day by day with a toll of some 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers being lost to the battlefield and Russia taking ever more territory the western political elites refuse to contemplate peace negotiations. Their goal was always to weaken Russia and initiate regime change there and this goal remains in place. The hapless and largely incapable Ukrainian troops, the majority of whom by now never wished to be there, are mere tools for the West and expendable tools at that. The cynicism involved is off the scale. Only the ideologically motivated neo-Nazi forces such as the AZOV and Right Sector monsters fight on enthusiastically. There can be no question and increasingly so, that all other Ukrainians who have been sent into the eastern meatgrinder simply wish to go home to their families.

There is no shining white innocent Ukraine fighting the evil black-hearted Russians. That myth is long exploded as more and more look deeper into the West-generated origins of this tragic war that Russia never wanted and tried (for almost a decade) to prevent. The Ukrainians who have been led to the slaughter by the West, apart from the most extreme nationalists are hapless and helpless victims of the Kiev regime led by Zelensky and his western masters. They are ultimately the most intolerably and cynically abused victims in this entire tragic scenario, along with the entire nation of Ukraine. mere pawns in the western ambition to undermine Russia. They deserve our sympathy as they die in ever-increasing numbers. The old, amateur, sick and untrained.

IS VON DER LEYEN’S WARMONGERING BUREAUCRACY ABOUT TO FALL

 

Narratives on Russia and Ukraine by Europe's political elites are totally out of synch with popular opinion. The disconnect between its elites and Europe's population now awaits an opportunity for expression.

Viktor Orban of Hungary is leading the charge, however Robert Fico of Slovakia cannot be far behind. The EU, led by the much hated Ursula von der Leyen, could be facing another kind of revolt, from the European populace. The signs are all there when you know where to look. Sentiment on the war policies exhibited by the vast majority of western leaders including those who head the EU is clear. The man and women on the street don’t buy the narratives on Ukraine broadcast constantly by their political elites. As the conflict in Ukraine has gone on people have gradually become more curious as to its origins and find that their leaders are, to put it baldly, lying through their teeth on the subject.


Western leaders have got themselves into a real mess over Ukraine and rather than attempt to extricate themselves from that mess by facing reality they have instead chosen to get themselves even deeper into the mire by continuing to spread their fantasies. This of course would not matter all that much except for one fact. Hundreds of thousands have died as a result. up to half a million in fact. By relentlessly pushing for ever more war rather than accepting the offers for a negotiated peace by Russia the Europeans have slavishly followed the lead of the USA with disastrous consequences for the Ukrainians.


The equanimity with which the European political elites have, through following the North American lead, brought half a million Ukrainians to their death and blithely contemplated the destruction of Ukraine in order to weaken Russia is an unconscionable stain on Europe. Using NATO to pressure Russia into its special military operation through the sham process of Minsk is well known to Europeans. Merkel, Hollande and later, Macron used near criminal deception to avoid the peaceful outcome Russia sought. The majority of Europeans can surely not have missed the many articles describing this shameful process.


With elections coming ever closer across Europe the likelihood is strong that a great many of those who have promoted war with Russia through both Ukraine and NATO will be swept from power. This sea change in European politics cannot come soon enough. As we have seen in both Hungary and Slovakia the urgency among the general population for change in Europe is there. Soon its voice is likely to be heard all across the European continent and the sound of that common voice is almost certainly going to be resoundingly loud.

WE WILL BE #1 ON THIS PLANET… OR YOU WILL ALL DIE

What is the underlying nature of the global conflict that we see consuming the attention of western political elites currently and what might the consequences be for every last one of us?

Whether you believe 9/11 was an inside job or was the result of international terrorism, it has as a consequence, resulted in a drive for permanent and unquestioned global dominance by the USA and its proxies. Through this drive for complete, overarching wardenship over the entire planet and via this, unfettered access to all modes of communication and unlimited ability to punish incorrect thoughts and deeds, the USA and its proxies mean to achieve ‘full spectrum dominance’ worldwide.


It was already assumed before 9/11 that due to the exceptional nature of the USA that the assertion of its will on the world would be its most worthy beneficial act in honour of  the God that had blessed them with the power to effect this task. The mythology of the pilgrim fathers fleeing despotic regimes demanded that all such regimes in modern times be overthrown. This only seemed right, indeed a duty. This project was however, in the background before 9/11, lacking the powerful impulse that 9/11 would give it. After 9/11 it became perceived as a messianic necessity.


 The impulse above is singular in its path and those who feel themselves charged with effecting this holy duty do not, cannot and never will question its rightness nor conceive of any alternate path. The zealots who hold all this in dedication as their life’s work to achieve will accept nothing less. There can be no deviation from the goal of complete and unrivalled global domination. Failing to reach this goal is unthinkable. The western world MUST be made safe within the great stage of universal democracy, firmly held in place by those who can be trusted to preserve it through transforming all rival systems into mirror images of itself.


Until the goal of total liberal elite dominance worldwide is achieved no project can be allowed to rival it. No other issue will significantly affect its pursuit, nothing can be allowed to distract from its urgent deliverance. No law, jurisdiction, concept of sovereignty, nor ethical or moral code will be allowed to present a barrier to those actions deemed necessary to achieve it in its entirety. The goal, unquestioned and unquestionable, will be pursued despite any and all negative outcomes no matter how unthinkable they may have been previously. No limit will ever be placed upon the actions deemed necessary to achieve a successful final outcome.


The agreement to these necessary changes has been enforced in all nations within the orbit of U.S. control largely without question. Those within the orbit who refuse to any degree will be undermined through attack by all means considered necessary until they relent or are replaced. A unified front is the essential tool through which target nations will be rendered compliant or have their unacceptable modes of governance dismantled and replaced. Unity of purpose and coordinated action among members enable the directed power to overcome and destroy any and all adversaries… without exception. Constant adherence to agreed narratives against all adversaries being essential.


The ultimate end result envisioned is a planet monitored in depth where all adversaries have been eliminated and replaced, where any trace of opposition to the new order is speedily identified and nullified. No rogue elements will be allowed to escape the filtration process presently underway. All such elements require removal by extreme prejudice and replacement by conforming entities willing to embrace every positive element within the necessary, post 9/11 changes. Any and all opposition will be destroyed toward the end goal of global stability, individual freedom and world peace. No alternative reality is acceptable.


If the USA and its proxies find insurmountable difficulty in the tasks named above this of course will be entirely unacceptable, the consequences then will be grave indeed…


WE WILL BE #1 ON THIS PLANET… OR YOU WILL ALL DIE



ON THE ROAD TO ARMAGEDDON IN UKRAINE WITH NO PLAN B. WHY SO?

Why has the situation in Ukraine become the overwhelming, almost single focus, of western foreign policy with apparently no plan B but only a steady march toward ever more escalation?

SCENARIO 1: Russia Wants To Rule The World (Or At Least Europe)


In this scenario providing a reason for the ‘all or nothing’ western plan now in progress is that the western powers have data, covertly retrieved from Russia, that the Russians plan to take over the world, or at least invade and take over Europe. If this is the case, barring the risk of revealing sources and methods, wouldn’t you think they would tell western audiences what they have gleaned, at least in outline? Instead we have received only speculation from both western officials and commentators alike on this point.


If Russia was poised to invade and occupy Europe why, by common perception, is Russia taking such a long time on its takeover in Ukraine? Besides the fact that no Russian official has stated Russia wants to occupy Europe where would the Russians come from to not only accomplish the task but presumably to run and control everything afterwards? The days when armies of tens of millions could be put together, trained and paid for are over, especially for Russia with an economy that has been compared with that of South Korea.


Something else is clearly at stake regarding the West’s overwhelming desire to throw money at Ukraine with a view to defeating Russia there?


SCENARIO 2: The Good Guys Of The West Want Freedom & Democracy For All


You know this meme well from all the regime change wars of the recent past that the USA and its allies have engaged in, in the recent past. It is portrayed in similar terms as the Crusades mounted by Richard the lionheart and others against the Arabs of Jerusalem. The good guys have decided to engage the tyrants and slay all those metaphorical dragons rescuing the equally metaphorical princesses. It has nothing to do with maintaining influence, power and lucrative sources of energy or income.


I suspect most of those reading this will have long discounted these saintly reasons for the expenditure of vast amounts of blood and treasure involved in these regime change wars of choice. Power, influence, resources and hard cash are much more persuasive elements when it comes to political and geopolitical decision making. Besides, all done at the cost of half a million Ukrainian lives? What kind of gift to Ukraine is that?


So what does this leave? Why must we all be taken to the brink of Armageddon due to a dispute between two Slavic nations that despite eight long years of trying (by one side at least) could not be resolved?


SCENARIO 3: The West Is Losing Its Long-Held Global Dominance & Can’t Have That


The last few decades, other than see western regime change wars fail, has seen nations such as China and Russia rise to become a combined peer competitor of the West. No one should underestimate the positive features that come with global dominance. The ability to manipulate nations far from your shores, persuade them to listen to you and be swayed by you due to your power, and to therefore set the stage for wealth accumulation, guaranteed energy flows for you and your endless power accumulation, is quite an asset to lose.


These new kids on the block, Russia and China, are obstinately resistant to doing your bidding as you are used to. They want to go their own way rather than do things your way. What does this signify to the political elites of the West whose institutions are universally set up to take advantage of a situation where the West is in power… always? All the perks of power that have been accepted as guaranteed are now at risk. And, if the situation is not dealt with urgently, every last perk could disappear one after another till at last they are all gone? How would THAT feel? 


This last scenario, in my view, is the one that most likely lies behind the seemingly endless risks the western powers are willing to take in Ukraine, risks that could put the rest of us, kept well outside the corridors of power, directly on the road to Armageddon.

THE WEST’S QUADRUPLE WHAMMY: DEMILITARISED, INDEBTED, DEINDUSTRIALISED & SIMPLY *PLAIN DUMB*

Could the West get any worse? You bet. All it will take is for nothing to change at the top, for the dumbest mofos ever, who clawed their way up the greasy pole of power, to remain dumbly in place.

Arsenals across the western world have been drained of weapons. Supplying the Ukrainian regime with a vast assortment of weapons has been an abiding priority for over two years now.  None of the weapons supplied so far, including the so-called gamechangers, have changed the course of the war. The Russian military has continued to incrementally grind down the cannon-fodder sent to oppose it along with decimating every piece of military equipment soon after its arrival. This attrition of weaponry that parallels the attrition of Ukraine’s manpower has left the USA and its proxies woefully short of military supplies.


There has been a lot of specious talk in recent months about the non-existent plan that Russia has to conquer all Europe. Perhaps it isn’t such a good idea to suggest this to Russia when you have drained your warehouses of most of the weaponry and ammunition you would need to fight the Russian’s off? The already significant demilitarising of the USA and Europe however has not brought about a call for its halt in high places. New tranches of spending for both Ukraine and Israel are now in the process of being agreed both in the USA and EU. This is just plain dumb.


The size of the North American national debt is fast approaching thirty four trillion dollars. Yet the spending spree by western warmongers shows no sign of letting up. Billions are being spent apparently gleefully as if we are approaching the end of the world and nothing much matters any more. What’s a few more billions among friends? Mere chicken feed. It’s all going to end in a few puffs of smoke soon anyway. More plain dumb behaviour as these warhawks are bringing it all on. Don’t they have something far better to do than invite Armageddon?


Deindustrialisation of the USA must surely be taking its toll just as the weapons industry reaches peak profits. The average North American is shouting louder with each day that passes about how the ‘American Dream’ has turned into a nightmare. As infrastructure falls increasingly apart money is siphoned off to nations far, far from the USA’s borders. And talking of those borders scant funds appear to be flowing toward the southern U.S. border where illegal immigrants do flow constantly northward. More dumb behaviour here.


The deindustrialisation of the USA’s proxies in Europe has reached a stage that North America will only approach over the next year or two. Germany, once the unchallenged economic and industrial powerhouse of Europe is descending rapidly with one dumb decision after another being enthusiastically made. The Germans are aghast at the sheer stupidity of their current woeful crop of political elites. They see the hard work of generations being thrown away in just two short years due to the unwarranted decisions being made in what were meant to be attacks upon Russia. All have backfired bringing every greater pain at their source. Dumb, very dumb and even dumber.


Back in the good old USA, a very old blunderer by the name of Biden is making sure that the debt mountain there is virtually impossible to climb. Throwing good money after bad as his son Hunter was wont to do seems to indicate the worst possible trait in that family. As the saying goes, power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. And has there been anything quite as corrupt in recent years as Hunter Biden’s well-heeled sinecure in Ukraine courtesy of his father. The Burisma affair was about as blatantly dumb as it gets, corruption, nepotism and influence-peddling in plain sight. 


What next for the woefully dumbed down West? Could it possibly get even dumber? How so? With the re-election of Joe “Where the hell am I” Biden and his gruesome cast of neocon zombie warmongers. That would outdumb all those other dumbnesses now wouldn’t it?  


THE WEST’S QUADRUPLE WHAMMY: DEMILITARISED, INDEBTED, DEINDUSTRIALISED & SIMPLY *PLAIN DUMB*

WHY WE MUST FIGHT FOR A MULTIPOLAR WORLD


Must we put up with our world as it has been until now and is arguably more now than ever before? That is, a world constantly at war? Or is there an alternative future we might aspire to & fight for?

The first reason why we must fight for a multipolar world is simply because the alternative is well known to us and is essentially a world always at war.


The second reason is that the alternative, if the currently dominant regional power, the western world, succeeds in its quest to become not only dominant regionally but eventually globally, the ultimate outcome will be a virtual prison planet.


The collective west is seeking to subdue all powers outside its current orbit, to weaken and subvert them in order to subsume them under its control. This quest encompasses both reasons above in that:


The likelihood is that the collective west’s goal of regime change for all nations not under its control will never succeed, at least not in our lifetime and most likely not ever. However, the wars initiated will breed ever more conflict leading to the ‘forever war’ scenario envisaged by some.


 In the extremely unlikely event of the collective west achieving its goal of subduing and replacing all current national leaderships and systems of governance and replacing them with proxies that accept collective west leadership then the prison planet scenario will emerge.


There were times in recent history when it seemed that we might overcome the scourge of war as an ever-present reality. However, looking at the world as it is today we can see that this was a vain hope if present geopolitical realities continue without substantial change.


In the unlikely event of the collective west, led by the United States gaining full global control after subduing all nations not now under its control, we will find ourselves increasingly monitored for risks to the new global system of governance that would come into existence with the supreme dominance of the West. Surveillance from near space would become a global reality. Hardly a single gathering, phone call, email or financial transaction would escape logging, and where considered necessary, follow up action. George Orwell’s ‘Big Brother’ would well and truly become our everyday reality.


If you adhere to the school of thought that says, “If you have done nothing wrong then you have nothing to fear”, i.e. that global monitoring would be a good thing in that policing, and therefore personal safety, would be enhanced. However, if you feel that ‘Big Brother’ knowing so much about you is a threat and would be abused by those in authority then you will agree that this is an unwelcome eventuality.


A unipolar world where one power completely dominates all others or a near unipolar world where one region is constantly instigating and fighting wars to become the universal power with ‘full spectrum dominance’ can be quite easily seen as a world where fear of one kind or another will certainly dominate.


A multipolar world where power is shared among nations, where each nation has inviolable sovereignty no matter what form of governance prevails is, I would argue, a world far more likely to realise goals such as reasonably permanent stability and every prospect to deliver peace. Nations who share power and who prioritise trade above all else where agreements are formed outside of potential areas of disagreement such as the religion practiced or system of governance will surely have much less reason to fight wars. With the most significant reasons for war having little to no priority, i.e. religion and politics, the business of building bridges between cultures can progress far more successfully than now.


The urge of the collective west to impose its religion, values and political structures on others with the aim of converting all nations into its own likeness, often by subversion, sanctions, propaganda or regime change wars, is the primary cause of the instability and perpetual conflict we see occurring today. This drive for supreme dominance is, more likely than not, doomed to fail, the reasons for which Professor John J. Mearsheimer has eloquently explained in his video lecture and book ‘The Great Delusion’. This does not mean that the western powers will ever be in any mood to give up this goal. Not unless some means is found to convince those leaders of a better way forward. Failing this the only remaining way to achieve this will be to build a great enough resistance to the western way of war.


The BRICS group best exemplifies the principles that would underpin a future multipolar world. Nations working together building trading networks of cooperation and mutually beneficial agreement, irrespective of diverse factors between them such as religion or systems of governance. A world therefore of sovereign nations of diverse backgrounds, cultures, religions and political modes of governance where tolerance not intolerance (of these factors mentioned) exists as a constant background to peace and stability.


These are the reasons why we must fight for a multipolar world.

NETANYAHU & ZELENSKY: BETRAYERS OF THEIR NATIONS

Doubling down in the face of defeat where thousands are dying is plain evil. The world is increasingly waking up to the malignant effect western warmongers are having on us all & demanding they stop.

For whatever reasons lie behind their actions these two men have brought their nations to the brink of catastrophe and, in the case of Zelensky, to possible extinction. Nothing can justify their folly. No arrangement of excuses can massage away the disastrous decisions these two have made. The question of motive lies unresolved and the strong suspicion must be that they made some of their decisions based on their own personal political survival. In the case of Zelensky his physical survival may also have been a significant factor.


Netanyahu was in imminent danger of being convicted of corruption and given a jail sentence just before the recent violent event that engulfed Israel. Hamas, a creature of successive Israeli regimes to keep the Palestinians divided, initiated their attack just at the moment Netanyahu needed such a distraction and opportunity to puff out his chest as a war leader. This latter image-building gambit usually works well, taking minds off all other problems in a jingoistic surge of national unity. However, anyone who has paid any attention to the mood in Israel regarding Netanyahu will have seen this ploy is far from effective in his case.


Zelensky, essentially the tool of the USA, insists on ever more Ukrainians dying in a totally pointless conflict from the Ukrainian point of view. Zelensky, constantly doubling down on his rhetoric at the behest of a USA appears to seek not the restoration of Ukraine as it once was, but only his survival as the tool through which the USA determines to weaken Russia. It is clear the war is lost. No one seriously expects the tables to be turned at this point. The Ukrainians simply cannot win, this is patently obvious. Yet Zelensky throws ever more Ukrainians into the maw of the Russian meatgrinder… to no good purpose.


Netanyahu, like Zelensky, clearly believes he has nothing to gain by calling a halt to the process by which his nation is reduced to an economic beggar and global pariah and everything to lose. What does he care that tragedy befalls more families day after day on both sides as their brothers, husbands and fathers die in a battle seemingly without end? His political survival hangs on remaining in place. To relent is to sign his political death warrant. So it is also with Zelensky and not only his political demise, quite possibly his physical survival. The Ukrainian neo-Nazis are notably unforgiving and Zelensky’s life and that of his immediate family would certainly be at severe risk if he sought peace through negotiations.


These are men trapped in nightmares of their own making, both beholden to the USA and totally reliant on U.S. military aid to continue their respective wars. With no way out except personal humiliation they choose instead to remain in place presiding over ever more death, destruction and approaching unavoidable defeat. Do they delude themselves into the belief that they are engaged in a noble cause? Is this their methodology, a self-created amnesia through which they close their minds to their true motivations of personal survival and instead imbue themselves with a delusional noble purpose? Looking at the battle-hardened, ego-fuelled mentality evident in both men this appears a reasonable enough assumption.


As they urge others to kill and be killed is there any evidence of self-doubt apparent in these men? To all intents and purposes and in view of their stiff, seeming total resolve, it appears there is none. Just as all the murderous dictators of the past these two evidence no sign of doubt whatsoever, only a determination to continue until some overwhelming defeat subdues them to capitulation, resignation and the ignominy of national disgrace. Until they are removed from power the death toll in their nations will continue to rise. While they wield the levers of power they will continue to drive their nations down. These are men with no future, two arrogant war criminals, prisoners of their vicious ambitions, lapdogs of cynical American elites and unconscionable betrayers of their nations.

WHY THE WEST, ISRAEL AND UKRAINE ARE AUTHORS OF THEIR OWN MISFORTUNE

There is a reality that cannot be spoken of in the West. It cannot be accepted and must be totally denied. Every effort will be made to deny this reality and the guilt of those who brought it about.

The days when the USA and its allies could come to the rescue of their compliant proxy states when they overreach their capacity to defend themselves during wars of choice, are clearly over. The declining ability of every one of the western powers to even sustain themselves without massive, ever increasing unsustainable debts means that they have come to the end of their immunity for any further crimes against humanity they commit.


From this point onward malignant regimes such as those in Israel and Ukraine must stand alone and pay the appropriate price for any further activities mixing the previously deadly mix of supreme arrogance and mindless hubris. The criminal entities of the West can no longer act as their bodyguards or wield muscle at the United Nations to strong arm the world’s nations to comply with their wishes.


Time is up for the mafia-like West and its murderous pursuit of sustained dominance. The future for its political elites is going to be increasingly bleak as they realise the full extent of their fall, not only from power but just as importantly, from grace. Nations such as Saudi Arabia, which were close allies of the USA and the West in general at one time are now reacting to them as one would to a very bad smell. As the West falls so do others continue to rise and those rising are far more likely to be real and perpetual friends than the western powers who have turned out to be no friends at all.


The western powers have acted as global bullies, coercing nations to do their will and obey their commands, virtually always against their own interests. The West has acted until very recently as a wholly exploitative force using its military and geopolitical force to threaten other states with economic, financial or military destruction. Can anyone wonder why these nations now turn away from their torturers and exploiters with a sneer of disdain and instead seek to join those making plain their opposition to the western crimes against humanity committed with impunity until now?


The obvious cases for the continuing and deepening malaise within the West as it exposes its increasing weakness to the world are Israel and Ukraine. Israel has lost its genocidal attack upon the Palestinians in Gaza. The USA, its patron is now indelibly linked to the mass murder being perpetrated by its wicked child Israel. Each day sees an ever greater humiliation building for the entire bastard nation that the West forced on Palestine and for those who continually attempt to minimise its unconscionable wickedness. 


Netanyahu’s criminal regime, by slaughtering tens of thousands of civilians and thousands of children in Gaza will fully deserve its pariah status and the coming economic collapse of Israel as a viable state. They can blame no one but themselves, aided and abetted by the equally criminal nations of the West who are now fully exposed as the sponsors and avid supporters of genocide. We should hear no more sanctimonious words from them regarding specious claims regarding their moral and ethical superiority and their upholding of global human rights and so-called exceptional western values.


After the ultraviolet insurrection and coup in Kiev in 2014 against the democratically-elected president and government of Ukraine the seal was set on the second geopolitical disaster now providing a secondary gaping wound in the edifice of western superiority. The Ukrainian regime is yet another abortion brought into being by the West and the second abomination to expose the increasing weakness of the western coalition of nations. The desire of the western powers to bring down and break up the Russian Federation has delivered yet another self-inflicted significant blow to themselves.


The downfall of both Israel and Ukraine became inevitable as the strength of those opposing the long-term brutal malignancy of the West grew to a point that allowed others to express their independence. India is one case among many where appeals by the collective west to show unity against Russia failed completely and links to Russia were instead maintained and indeed strengthened. Nations queuing up to join the BRICS has grown and grown providing the most potent expression of abandonment of the western bullies. The global majority is now firmly on the side of Russia and China in defiant rejection of those nations in the west who held them by dint of military and economic threat and covert subversion until now.


There will be no going back. The future belongs to wiser heads who seek a world where a balance of power is the goal and never again the fiefdom of any single nation or group of nations. Within that world where trade is the priority, not terror, where agreement, not aggression is the order of the day and bridges are built rather than burnt, it may be that there is room for a much reduced Israel and Ukraine, however, this remains to be seen. This after it is fully recognised that they are both clearly authors of their own misfortune.     


THE WESTERN PLAN TO RULE THE WORLD WILL CONTINUE TO FALL APART

There's no Plan B. It's all or nothing for the western powers. After 9/11 they planned a course leading to a prison planet governed by them for their safety. But that plan is going horribly wrong.


It was all going so well. The Soviet Union had just been successfully undermined after almost a half century of trying. The United States and its allies reigned supreme. The ‘Unipolar Moment’ had arrived. There could be nothing that could stand in the way of a world where every nation was a liberal democracy. It was, as Francis Fukuyama had written, ‘The End of History’. 


What could possibly go wrong?


In the late Nineties Russia had descended to become an economic basket case. Western advisers and dubious Russian elites along with the Russian mafia began selecting pieces of it to carve off for themselves. Yeltsin had taken over in a violent putsch and the western powers celebrated what they saw as the first candidate for liberalisation. 


Then Yeltsin chose Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin as his successor. Putin was at first accepted in the West. This congenial relationship lasted all the way from 2000 to his Munich speech in 2007. This speech sounded the death knell of any future, mutually beneficial relationship between east and west regarding Russia, and, though it was not perceived as such in the West at the time, it also sounded the initial muted death knell of the ‘Unipolar Moment’.


Just as Putin was letting the western powers know that Russia would not submit to being a subservient lackey at their beck and call, China was inexorably rising economically toward delivering an even louder death knell for that ‘Unipolar Moment’ that had seemed so exquisitely long-lasting only moments before. From 2007 onward then we can see the era we are now in, of multipolarity, emerging and emerging strongly.


As the United States and its proxies began losing their grip those who held the reigns of power started to become increasingly nervous. The subsequent wars of choice after this period were not only the result of the western reaction to 9/11 but also a reaction to, and attempt to reverse, their rapidly failing dominance. This period of western elite fears over their loss of manipulative control and resultant aggression is ongoing, as can be seen by the Ukraine war.


Russia became the main target of the western allies, even though its economy and therefore power was far less than that of China. It was to be Russia that would be made to collapse and have its president and system of government undermined and replaced. Only after the matter of Russia had been resolved would the West’s full attention be fixed on China. Meanwhile, other, less important nations would be bent to the western will by whatever means were considered necessary.


Sanctions, both economic and financial along with subversions of a more covert kind, were the two main weapons after the military “solutions” of the previous regime change ops proved too messy and to an important extent counterproductive. Here we can see the poisonous seeds planted by the West that would increasingly lead to its headaches of today. Abusing its powers so obviously, the entire collective west, began to make enemies of some of what it had considered as its best friends.


Chief among the ‘best friends’ the West had until this time and lost is Saudi Arabia and it is clearly the one that hurts most to date. By abusing any nation that stepped out of line, as the USA saw it, began making many enemies, or at the very least began causing nations previously oriented towards western power, to become non-aligned. The most obvious indicator on this score is the number of nations who have joined the BRICS group in recent times and the far greater number who have expressed a wish to.


Saudi Arabia joining the BRICS must have felt like a kick in the face to the western power elite. Now with others lining up to kick them, perhaps up to seventy nations altogether, it must surely be wreaking havoc among many western corridors of power. Their efforts to push back and regain dominance are currently receiving one hit after another. Yet, instead of resigning themselves to sharing in a balance of power they continue to double down in the level of their aggression.


In both Israel and Ukraine we see the continuing drive by the West to use blatant aggression rather than anything approaching diplomacy and rationality to resolving the most major geopolitical issues of the day. It is clear that the western powers have no reverse gear and no plan B in regarding to their fight against the loss of the ‘Unipolar Moment’ and its restoration. They are determined to have ‘full spectrum dominance’ globally and nothing less will do.


Having said the above it is becoming quite clear that the collective west is losing and losing more clearly by the day. Fighting like a mortally wounded animal against a growing number of those it perceives as “enemies” it has largely abandoned rationality in favour of brute force. However, that brute force is, not for the first time, working against it rather than for it. It is almost as if the West has a death wish, however the reality is that it has simply left itself with no other option, completely dedicated to its ‘all or nothing’, ‘do or die’ response to its failing grip on the world.


For the West every indicator says it will be ‘die’ rather than ‘do’. The odds grow ever longer against its braindead arrogance, hubris and flawed mythologies of western power. There will be no return to the ‘Unipolar Moment’ and certainly no movement toward the prison planet the western powers visualise as the ideal outcome. Multipolarity will prevail with all its promise of a balanced, peaceful and far more stable world.
