We've all been waiting for the second shoe to drop (the Thing has many legs, hence MANY shoes), and here it finally is. Here we've been wondering if it might be a cyber-attack, or food shortages, or an alien invasion, or some other novel horror—and they come up with the oldest head-game in the book, as it's "the Hun" all over again. Looks like it never fails.

This piece is really excellent.

It's amazing that despite all the Covid gaslighting, that anyone believes the prevailing narrative, especially in the early days of any situation. It's way too unanimous - perhaps coordinated would be the better word - to be believable. I was sitting in amazement just moments ago listening to Newsmax afternoon gasbag Eric Bolling wax on about how patriotic and courageous the Ukrainian people are . . . as if it's a given that they all feel the same way about what is happening and has been happening. As nauseating as when our bloviating politicians (from both sides) wax poetic about the beliefs/feelings/intelligence of "the American people" as if all 330,000,000 of us think with one mind.

I had to turn off Ben Shapiro's podcast when he mocked the notion of Putin De-Nazifying Ukraine. His reasoning "Zelinsky's Jewish."

Nobody has any idea that the ultra nationalists (Nazis) started shelling Donbass five days before Putin moved in to protect them.

The original link to the story doesn't work--intentionally I presume.

97% of the media just makes up stuff as they go along or as needed to support the communist/liberal/democrat/socialist/progressive agenda. Truth is not a requirement. Most people still believe everything they hear from the media, especially the TV news.

If people want to get a clue as to what is going on, the first thing which one must understand is the entire planet lives in a debt based monetary system. A good primer is the 45 minute animation, Money as Debt (though I do not support some of the creator's remediations).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2nBPN-MKefA

What everyone refers to as the Great Financial Crisis (GFC) marked the end of the current economic system. It flatlined. Braindead as a presidential nomination extravaganza. But the world's central banks have played Weekend at Bernie's since then, propping it up by printing increasing amounts of debt, primarily so-called sovereign debt, often referred to as funny money, which is never designed to be repaid. At this stage of the collapse, debt creation capable of preventing the collapse becomes an exponential function, and it must be created in ever greater amounts. What economic geniuses of New Monetary Theory such as AOC do not seem to be capable of understanding is that this debt creation is diluting the money supply and has initiated a spiraling upwards rate of inflation which will inevitably lead to hyperinflation. Since the purchasing power of the Federal Reserve Note, deceptively referred to as the dollar, by the Fed’s own web site retains slightly more than 3% of its purchasing power from when the Federal Reserve Act was passed during a Christmas Recess in 1913, we have already been in hyperinflation but in slo-mo.

The other thing to realize is that only those closest to the money creation and who are on the receiving end of it first benefit from it. But Joe and Jane Bagadonuts tend to regard the federal budget like a household budget and get really nervous when this debt goes ballistic. So we need a really big emergency to justify it, such as one of the family needing cancer treatment. Whatever it takes. Let the expenses be damned and don’t check out the statistics that the patient will probably die within a miserable five years anyway.

So God created covid-1984. Actually God did not create it as it doesn’t exist. I think the credit has to go to the presstitues of the shitstream media. So the government spends money which it borrows from the Fed (which “legally” creates the money ex nihilo with the click of a mouse, and puts Joe and Jane and their great grandchildren on the hook for it.

So one may ask, Señor Gallinazo, what does this have to do with the Russia-Ukraine war? Well cv-1984 is getting old. People are tired of it. Their adrenals are shot. Word is leaking out that the fake vaccine gene therapy may well have been killing hundreds of thousands of previously healthy Americans whose chances of dying from this seasonal flu (without the kind assistance of the Fauci drug, Run! - death-is-near, and ventilators is lower than being struck by lightning in a tunnel. Furthermore, group life insurance statisticians are reporting that death of working age Americans since the roll-out of the jabs in up 40%, which one CEO described as like a 200 year flood event. A German insurance company that services over 10% of the German public, came out this week with a similar disclosure. I recommend you watch The Highwire Thursday's show where Bigtree does an excellent interview with Ed Dowd starting at 1:16:24 into the show.

Cutting to the chase, it is time to wag the dog. We need a new crisis to engorge the braindead with patriotic fervor. Brought to you once again by Victoria Nuland of 2014 Ukrainian Maiden poison cookie fame, fuck the EU!, and wife of the executive director of the PNAC “think-tank," arch Zionist and rabid Neocon extraordinaire, Robert Kagan, who brought us “the new Pearl Harbor" false flag of 9/11. And who could be a better target than those damn, troglodyte Russkies led by a naked chested, bear riding Sauron himself? But it is not enough to simply wag the dog. This will create a new arms race and cold war. Trillions in new armaments. Already a 6 billion dollar tank deal to Poland. That’s a lot of kielbasa. And since all the countries of the planet are broke, only the central bankers can create the funny money as debt and lend it to them. So the debt will continue its exponential climb…. until it doesn’t. But that event is another story.

I'm sure that both sides have their reasons why their side is the right side. I want to hear from both sides before I decide who is on the "right" side and the hidden shenanigans by our country as well as Ukraine and Russia. Right now, this is a very emotional topic and decisions on who is right and who is wrong is mostly based on emotions. I don't listen to MSM any longer when weighing the pros and cons... the more information from both sides I read then over time I will know truth. At least that's my hope. I know for as long as I can remember Russia has been used by the left to vilify the other side. I also know that 911 was used to manipulate us in agreeing to war, supporting the Patriot Act and justify the murder of dictators for American's not so righteous reasons. I will see how this plays out.... I hope we will have the opportunity to get to the truth.

Wow. We really suck at curiosity. And it looks like we're going to keep getting duped until we get better at it. Thanks for giving us all a nudge.

I lived in Russia for five years, and left because of Putin. He changed Russia for the worse. I moved to Kyiv in 2005 and lived there for nine years. I love Russia and I met lots of wonderful people in Russia, but I like Ukraine more and I like Ukrainian people more. My ex worked with refugees from Donbas after the war started. Two and a half million Ukrainians left Donbas and Luhansk to live in Ukraine after the war. I used to hear her on the phone talking to people. Do you have any money? No, there are no flats in Kyiv. I have a place in Kharkov. We entertained children with PTSD who had fled the war there. Make no mistake, it was a Russian war, started by Russian special forces. Now, I am in Berlin and I am hosting refugee friends who escaped Kyiv. We can always find differences of opinion, but the reality is that a majority of those in Donbas moved to Ukraine because they preferred it. They voted with their feet, and now they have all lost everything again. The reason Putin invaded is that he doesn't want a sanctuary for those who despise him and his regime living next door as an example of freedom and independence. Say what you will about other motives. Russian people have been leaving Russia to live in Ukraine for a decade or longer, because life under Putin is bad.

There were always lies and more lies throughout history. Nothing has ever been real. But then we got post-modern with 9/11 and Saddam and his weapons of mass destruction. Lies so outrageous that your pet salamander wouldn't believe them. But people had no trouble believing it all the same. But I still recall a few months after the event in a restaurant after some guy overheard me saying 9/11 was an "inside job" that he was going to "deck" me. My now ex-wife seven years later put my "inside job" thoughts in the divorce papers to prove that I was "insane." Then there was the guy on the train platform who every day for years wore a jacket with the words "We won't forget; We'll never forgive" accompanied by a picture of the Twin Towers. If anyone has second thoughts today, it's all down the memory hole so we can tell more lies, this time Ukraine. Ukraine is easy-peasy. Why would you want any reporters on the ground? Nobody even cares.

Thank you Celia, for sharing the links to Patrick Lancaster's channel. I checked it out yesterday when you shared it then. I too found it all a bit amazing that we have been bombarded with such a coordinated response to the Ukraine situation - after the past 2 years, that alone should be enough to make us stop and think & want to do some more research for ourselves. (And I did, a week ago when the rumblings started to ramp up - and I didn't even know really where Ukraine was on the map.)

This is a good documentary from 2018, for anyone wanting some background history:

There's also Russel Bentley on YouTube. They call him Texas (Tehas) and his updates have been very informative.

The Niagra Falls has lights underneath it. It doesn’t take a minute to flip a switch if that’s their desire. The Ukrainians want nationals sovereignty. They allowed Russia to have Crimea and other parts of Ukraine. Next the Russian Ukrainian separatists kept pushing for closer ties to Russia. These Russian Ukrainians were moved in to Ukraine by the Soviets. The Ukraines agreed to these small separatist regions within those two areas of Donetsk and Luhansk - not ALL of Donestsk and Luhansk. But Russia decided they want ALL of Ukraine for themselves and to wipe out the Ukrainians - the real Ukrianians, the ones you paint as NAZIs. They are proud Ukrainian Nationalists. They were forced by the Soviets to fight in WWII AGAINST the NAZIs. They helped to DEFEAT the NAZIs. There are small pockets of neo-NAZIs almost in every country. That doesn’t make the leadership or the country or it’s people NAZIs. That’s is just dehumanizing half a NATION.

The Ukrainians are not fascists. They have feared Russia and desired NATO protection since Day 1 but have been rebuked. They want to be part of the Western Bloc and EU.

They never report Putin's actual words except in substacks and the like

Top man. All the rest is propaganda now. The people just outsource their brains to the narrative managers and resort to expressing their manipulated feelings as if they were valid.

How about some real truths. Those that operate the western bloc from dizzying heights far above the elected politicians also operate the Russian bloc. These controllers can have either bloc make conditions and policies that the other bloc is given the parameters for their response, like no sudden full on thermo-nuclear weapons attacks allowed.

The Pres. of the RCB, Elvira Nabiullina received "Euro Zone Banker of the Year Award' for 3 or 4 years running even while she boosted interest rates while the original western sanctions on Russia were implemented, making those sanctions have a much greater economic bite on the Russian economy than they would have. So it sounds to me like one big manipulative 'F' fest puppet show at the apex of the human species pyramid. Therefore I don't give a damn who they say is good or bad, simply realizing its all a story for ulterior motives, to create a desired reaction with a solution that only benefits those chosen by this pyramid cap to benefit. Those that suffer can go ---- themselves all the while being used to propel the 'story.'

Lurking just outside this controlled collapse of the present 'debt money system' is another system (virtual capitalism) ready to be slid into place, a small piece here and there until the final swap out can be done in one fell swoop...what some folks call 'the trap springing shut.' So this Ukraine saga serves completely other agenda that what is being fashioned by the propagandists. Just sayin'.
