Today is July 4 when we get our annual dose of patriotic propaganda that serves to wrap us in self-righteousness which enables Washington to conduct its wars. Washington has got away with it for a long time, but now has created and brought us into conflict with a powerful adversary.
According to reports, Russia responded to Washington’s cluster bomb attack on civilians in Crimea by informing Washington that the two countries are now at war. What it means, if anything, remains to be seen. It does not seem to have caused any consternation in Washington.
In actual fact hot war between Russia and Washington began in 2008 when Washington surprised Putin by sending a US trained and equipped Georgian army into South Ossetia. The American sponsored invasion resulted in the deaths of civilians and Russian peace keepers. It only took the Russian Army 5 days to defeat the American trained Georgian Army, so Washington did not have time to get more involved.
The Biden administration and NATO have steadily escalated participation in the Ukraine-Russia war. Recently, Biden authorized Ukraine missile attacks deeper into Russia’s territory using U.S.-made ATACMS ballistic missiles, which have a range of up to 190 miles. All of the expertise necessary to target and guide these attacks will come from the U.S. and NATO.
On May 22, Ukraine drones attacked two Russian nuclear early warning radars at Armavir. Much of the targeting and guidance expertise had to have come from the U.S. and NATO. Suddenly deprived of part of their ability to detect incoming threats, if the Russians had assumed the worse—that they were under nuclear attack and the drone strike was meant to cripple their command and control capabilities—the U.S. and NATO risked a nuclear response.
The U.S.-led alliance is at war with Russia, a fact that’s downplayed or ignored by American mainstream media. Being in a “hot” war with Russia increases the likelihood of nuclear war, triggered either accidentally or intentionally, beyond even the possibility that existed during the Cold War. That possibility was almost realized during the Cuban Missile Crisis. John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev demonstrated wisdom and courage in stepping away from the brink. Now, both sides are trash talking, threatening to use nuclear weapons. Their bluster increases the chances of nuclear war.
An American public that was recently scared into masks, social distancing, lockdowns, deadly experimental vaccines, and the evisceration of civil liberties by a germ about as dangerous as a bad flu bug seems blissfully unaware of the much more severe risks of nuclear war. American officials prattle on about “tactical” nuclear weapons, “escalatory dominance,” and “limited” nuclear war, oblivious to the reality that they control only one side of a chain of decisions to respond and escalate once a conflict goes nuclear.
It would be enlightening to review the effects of atomic bombs on the people of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945. The following excerpts and quotes come from The Making of the Atomic Bomb, by Richard Rhodes, Simon and Schuster, 1986, from a chapter titled “Tongues of Fire.” The Hiroshima bomb was the equivalent of 12,500 tons of TNT and the Nagasaki bomb 22,000 tons of TNT. Current thermonuclear, or hydrogen, bombs—predominantly deployed today—have an explosive force three orders of magnitude greater, measured in the tens of millions of tons of TNT, over 1,000 times as powerful. So far, these have never been used against humans.
On the morning of August 6, 1945, 8:16:02 local time, “Little Boy,” a uranium-235 gun-type fission bomb dropped from Enola Gay, an American B-29, exploded 1,900 feet above a hospital in Hiroshima.
“Just as I looked up at the sky,” remembers a girl who was five years old at the time and safely at home in the suburbs, “there was a flash of white light and the green in the plants looked in that light like the color of dry leaves.” Pg. 713
The temperature at the hypocenter, the point on the ground directly below the explosion, was 5,400 degrees Fahrenheit.
. . . . People exposed within half a mile of the Little Boy fireball, that is, were seared to bundles of smoking black char in a fraction of a second as their internal organs boiled away. “Doctor,” a patient commented to Michihiko Hachiya a few days later, “a human being who has been roasted becomes quite small, doesn’t he?” The small black bundles now stuck to the streets and bridges and sidewalks of Hiroshima numbered in the thousands. Pg. 715
The blast wave rocketed several hundred yards from the hypocenter at 2 miles per second before slowing to 1,100 feet per second, destroying everything in its path and throwing up a huge black cloud of smoke and dust.
That boy had been in a room at the edge of the river, looking out at the river when the explosion came, and in that instant as the house fell apart he was blown from the end room across the road on the river embankment and landed on the street below it. In that distance he passed through a couple of windows inside the house and his body was stuck full of all the glass it could hold. That is why he was completely covered with blood like that. Pg. 716
Perhaps the black bundles’ instantaneous deaths were a blessing. From a grocer who escaped into the street:
The appearance of people, was . . . well, they all had skin blackened by burns. . . . They had no hair because their hair was burned, and at a glance you couldn’t tell whether you were looking at them from in front or in back. . . . They held their arms [in front of them] . . . and their skin—not only on their hands, but on their faces and bodies too—hung down. . . . If there had been only one or two such people . . . perhaps I would not have had such a strong impression. But wherever I walked I met these people. . . . Many of them died along the road—I can still picture them in my mind—like walking ghosts. . . . They didn’t look like people of this world. . . . They had a very special way of walking—very slowly. . . . I myself was one of them. Pgs. 717-718
From a young woman:
I heard a girl’s voice clearly from behind a tree. “Help me, please.” Her back was completely burned and the skin peeled off and was hanging down from her hips. Pg. 718
A young sociologist:
The most impressive thing I saw was some girls, very young girls, not only with their clothes torn off but with their skin peeled off as well. . . . My immediate thought was that this was like the hell I had always read about. Pg. 718
A five-year-old boy:
That day after we escaped and came to Hijiyama Bridge, there were lots of naked people who were so badly burned that the skin of their whole body was hanging from them like rags. Pg. 718
A five-year-old girl:
People came fleeing from the nearby streets. One after another they were almost unrecognizable. The skin was burned off some of them and was hanging from their hands and from their chins; their faces were red and so swollen that you could hardly tell where their eyes and mouths were. Pg. 719
The burns, heat, and sounds of horror were unbearable. From a junior-college girl:
Screaming children who have lost sight of their mothers; voices of mothers searching for their little ones; people who can no longer bear the heat, cooling their bodies in cisterns; every one among the fleeing people is dyed red with blood. Pg. 719
Compounding the horror and agony were the fires and smoke. From a five-year-old girl:
The whole city . . . was burning. Black smoke was billowing up and we could hear the sound of big things exploding. . . . Those dreadful streets. The fires were burning. There was a strange smell all over. Blue-green balls of fire were drifting around. I had a terrible lonely feeling that everybody else in the world was dead and only we were still alive. Pg. 720
From a seventeen-year-old girl:
I walked past Hiroshima Station . . . and saw people with their bowels and brains coming out. Pg. 721
To escape the raging fires, many people went to fire reservoirs or one of the seven rivers that flowed through Hiroshima. From a physician sharing his horror with Michihiko Hachiya, director of the Hiroshima Communications Hospital, who kept a dairy of the bombing and its aftermath:
I saw fire reservoirs filled to the brim with dead people who looked as though they had been boiled alive. In one reservoir I saw a man, horribly burned, crouch beside another man who was dead. He was drinking blood-stained water out of the reservoir. Pg 724.
From a young ship designer trying to reach a train station to return to his home in, of all places, Nagasaki:
I had to cross the river to reach the station. As I came to the river and went down the bank to the water, I found that the stream was filled with dead bodies. I started to cross by crawling over the corpses, on my hands and knees. As I got about a third of the way across, a dead body began to sink under my weight and I went into the water, wetting my burned skin. It pained severely. I could go no further, as there was a break in the bridge of corpses, so I turned back to the shore. Pgs. 725-726
From one of Dr. Hachiya’s patients:
The sight of the soldiers, though, was more dreadful than the dead people floating down the river. I came onto I don’t know how many, burned from the hips up; and where the skin had peeled, their flesh was wet and mushy. . . .
And they had no faces! Their eyes, noses and mouths had been burned away, and it looked like their ears had melted off. It was hard to tell front from back. Pg. 726
From a man trying to help his wife escape the city:
While taking my severely-wounded wife out to the riverbank by the side of the hill of Nakahiro-machi, I was horrified, indeed, at the sight of a stark naked man standing in the rain with his eyeball in his palm. He looked to be in great pain but there was nothing that I could do for him. Pg. 725
Many of those who didn’t die in the first few days seemed to improve, but then sickened. American psychiatrist Robert Jay Lifton, who interviewed survivors, explained:
Survivors began to notice in themselves and others a strange form of illness. It consisted of nausea, vomiting, and loss of appetite, diarrhea with large amounts of blood in the stools; fever and weakness; purple spots on various parts of the body from bleeding into the skin . . . inflammation and ulceration of the mouth, throat and gums . . . bleeding from the mouth, gums, throat, rectum, and urinary tract . . . loss of hair from the scalp and other parts of the body . . . extremely low white blood cell counts when those were taken . . . and in many case a progressive course until death. Pg 731
It was radiation sickness, or what the Japanese called “atomic bomb illness.”
Direct gamma radiation from the bomb had damaged tissue throughout the bodies of the exposed. The destruction required cell division to manifest itself, but radiation temporarily suppresses cell division; hence the delayed onset of symptoms. The blood-forming tissues were damaged worst, particularly those that produce the white blood cells that fight infection. Large doses of radiation also stimulate the production of an anti-clotting factor. The outcome of these assaults was massive tissue death, massive hemorrhage and massive infection. . . . Pgs 731-732/
An estimated 140,000 were killed by the end of 1945 and 200,000 within five years from the atomic bomb in Hiroshima. The Nagasaki bomb killed 70,000 by the end of 1945 and 140,000 within five years. For both cities, the five-year death rate was about 54 percent of the population. The percentage killed was an inverse function of distance from the hypocenter. At Hiroshima, almost 100 percent were killed at the hypocenter, and the percentage declined to “only” 10 percent two miles away from it. Property damage was extensive. Of Hiroshima’s 76,000 buildings, 70,000 were damaged, of which 48,000 were totally destroyed.
Many of the Americans who made the decision to drop the bombs thought it would prevent the massive loss of allied lives that an invasion of Japan presumably would have entailed. The destructive force of the bombs and the aftereffects of radiation were generally underestimated. Demonstrating to the world, particularly the Soviet Union, the power of the bomb, and preventing a Soviet invasion of Japan were at least as compelling as military necessity for dropping the bombs. Those who thought the bomb was unnecessary included General Dwight Eisenhower, General Douglas MacArthur, Admiral William Leahy, Major General Curtis LeMay, General Hap Arnold, Fleet Admiral Chester Nimitz, Brigadier General Carter Clarke, and Ralph Bard, Under Secretary of the Navy.
Almost eighty years later, it’s important to realize that as devastating and deadly as the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombs were, they would be relatively tiny compared to what would happen today. The blast, fires, and radiation from one thermonuclear bomb, with a yield of 1,000 times that of the Nagasaki bomb’s 22,000 tons of TNT equivalent, would obliterate a city and surrounding countryside and kill tens of millions of people.
For America’s rulers, the other big difference between then and now is that the other side has its own bombs. Because some of the major nuclear powers’ missiles are carried on submarines, there is no way anyone’s response capability could be wiped out with a first strike. A nuclear strike against Russia or China would mean nuclear bombs dropped on American targets.
What should stop American rulers dead in their tracks is that Russia would be better able to withstand a nuclear attack than the U.S. Russian missiles are faster and more maneuverable and their antimissile technology is superior. Russia is much larger than the U.S. and has more room to hide. Their civil defense measures are far more extensive. Russia, as its history repeatedly demonstrates, knows how to play defense, even in the face of staggering losses.
Before the bomb, wars were often won by the side that was able to escalate to a point where the other side couldn’t match it. The World War I standoff was broken when the U.S. entered the war. The idea of escalatory dominance makes no sense when either side of a conflict can escalate to nuclear war and the other side can respond in kind. Seeking escalatory dominance risks escalatory annihilation of both sides, and perhaps of the entire global population.
These considerations would prevent, among rational people, any sort of threat or provocation that could lead to nuclear war. That the U.S. is playing nuclear chicken with Russia is all the proof one needs that its rulers are insane. They may take comfort from their supposedly bomb-proof bunkers and airborne command-and-control centers, but bombs detonated simultaneously in Washington, New York, and Silicon Valley would wipe them out before they ever reached those bunkers or jets.
Nothing is more insane than the desire to destroy one’s self. Among the West’s rulers, this subconscious desire manifests itself in their reaction to a global realignment of power. Their proxy war and sanctions against Russia have been disastrous failures. Russia and China lead a confederation of a majority of the world’s countries that threatens to eclipse the U.S.-led global billion. Western economies rest on a tottering foundation of debt. The totalitarian plans of globalist string-pullers are floundering on the plans’ inherent unworkability and the resistance of millions of people, empowered by decentralizing communications, computing, and weapons technologies (see “Ants at the Picnic,” Parts One and Two).
In their desperation, Western rulers have reached this point: “If we can’t rule the world, we’ll destroy it.” Facing the loss of their exalted positions and potential prosecution for their many crimes, don’t put it past this human excrement to start a nuclear war in a burst of terminal nihilism. Their cohorts in Israel (a nuclear power) may reach the same point in the Middle East—suicide is better than concession.
Even yesterday’s COVID cowards seem indifferent to today’s much more substantial dangers: instant incineration, boiled organs, skin peeling, eyeballs popping, ears melting, body-wide burns, deadly radiation sickness, and, for those that survive, the complete destruction of everything they have and their way of life. There would be hundreds of millions or billions of small black bundles. The death toll would be a several orders-of-magnitude multiple of COVID and its deadly vaccines’ combined final tally. Incidentally, climate would change for the worse, but the climate-change crowd seems unconcerned.
Many Americans may share their rulers’ death wish. Those of us who don’t must do what we can to stop the insane and their insanity. We can start by refusing to support any politician who advocates escalation in either Eastern Europe or the Middle East, rather than diplomacy, negotiations, and peaceful resolutions. Not one dime or weapon more should go to Ukraine or Israel, who both seek full-fledged U.S. military involvement in their wars—escalation that could lead to nuclear war and annihilation. There is no U.S. “interest” that justifies running that risk, certainly not an “interest” in maintaining a faltering empire.
Admittedly a political boycott of war-mongering politicians is only a small step, but it’s more than anyone’s doing now. The “movement” would gain membership after the first nuclear bomb detonates, but by then it may well be too late.
Vor eineinhalb Jahren, am 15. Januar 2022, gab es einen gewaltigen Vulkanausbruch im Südpazifik nahe dem Tonga-Archipel. Darüber wurde die Öffentlichkeit nicht unterrichtet. Es war eine besondere Eruption unter Wasser, die das Weltklima beeinflusst. So wird erklärlich, warum wir in diesem Jahr außergewöhnliche Wettererscheinungen beobachten müssen.
Bereits im April und Mai diesen Jahres habe ich mich über das Wetter gewundert. Dazu muss ich sagen, dass ich bei meiner Ausbildung zum Pilot bei der Lufthansa auch eine solide Ausbildung in Sachen Meteorologie erhalten habe und seither die Wettererscheinungen mit Interesse verfolge und analysiere. April und Mai waren zu kalt. Im Juni war zu beobachten, dass sich ein ungewöhnlich großes, aber flaches Hochdruckgebiet über ganz Europa gebildet hat, das eine ungewöhnliche Stabilität aufwies. Der Himmel war meist wolkenfrei, aber die Temperaturen entwickelten sich nicht dementsprechend.
Die Beobachtung der Sonnenuntergänge ließ mich vermuten, dass es eine abnormale Menge an Feuchtigkeit in den unteren Luftschichten geben muss. Das zeigte sich unter anderem darin, dass man mit bloßem Auge direkt in die Sonne blicken konnte, wenn diese noch etwa fünf Grad über dem Horizont stand. Sie war nur noch ein orangefarbener Ball und es war das erste mal, dass ich mit bloßem Auge einen goßen Sonnenfleck erkennen konnte. Konkrete Wolken waren es aber nicht, die die Sonne derart abdunkelten. Es war einfach Wasserdunst, der in abnormaler Dichte über dem Land lag, ohne sichtbaren Nebel zu bilden. Also fragte ich mich, wie das wohl zustande kommen konnte. Ich fand keine Erklärung, bis ich auf eine Veröffentlichung der NASA stieß, vom 2. August 2022: https://www.nasa.gov/feature/jpl/tonga-eruption-blasted-unprecedented-amount-of-water-into-stratosphere
CDU/CSU für Zustimmungsvorbehalt nationaler Parlamente / Regierungskoalition lehnt Antrag ab / AfD-Antrag gegen digitalen Euro und zum Erhalt des Bargelds als „einziges gesetzliches Zahlungsmittel“ gleichfalls gescheitert
It’s impossible to overstate the importance of the 2024 summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) this week in Astana, Kazakhstan. It can certainly be interpreted as the antechamber to the crucial BRICS annual summit, under the Russian presidency, next October in Kazan.
Let’s start with the final declaration. As much as SCO members state “tectonic shifts are underway” in geopolitics and geoeconomics, as “the use of power methods is increasing, with norms of international law being systematically violated”, they are fully engaged to “increase the SCO’s role in the creation of a new democratic, fair, political and economic international order.”
Well, there could not be a sharper contrast with the unilaterally-imposed “rules-based international order”.
The SCO 10 – with new member Belarus – are explicitly in favor of “a fair solution to the Palestinian issue”. They “oppose unilateral sanctions”. They want to create a SCO investment fund (Iran, via acting President Mohammad Mokhber, supports the creation of a SCO common bank, just like the NDB in BRICS).
Additionally, members that “are parties to the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty stand for compliance with its provisions”. And crucially, they agree that “interaction within the SCO may become the basis for building a new security architecture in Eurasia.”
The last point is actually the heart of the matter. That’s proof that Putin’s proposal last month in front of key Russian diplomats was fully debated in Astana – following Russia’s strategic deal with the DPRK de facto linking security in Asia as indivisible with security in Europe. That is something that remains – and will continue to remain – incomprehensible for the collective West.
A new Eurasia-wide security architecture is an upgrade of the Russian concept of Greater Eurasia Partnership – involving a series of bilateral and multilateral guarantees and, in Putin’s own words, open to “all Eurasian countries that wish to participate”, including NATO members.
The SCO should become one of the key drivers of this new security arrangement – in total contrast with the “rules-based order” – alongside the CSTO, the CIS and the Eurasia Economic Union (EAEU).
The road map ahead of course includes socio-economic integration and the development of international transportation corridors – from the INSTC (Russia-Iran-India) to the China-supported “Middle Corridor”.
But the two crucial points are military and financial: “To gradually phase out the military presence of external powers” in Eurasia; and to establish alternatives to “Western-controlled economic mechanisms, expanding the use of national currencies in settlements, and establishing independent payment systems.”
Translation: the meticulous process conducted by Russia to deliver a fatal blow to Pax Americana is essentially shared by all SCO members.
Welcome to SCO+
President Putin laid down the basic tenets further on down the road when he confirmed the “commitment of all member states to forming a fair world order based on the central role of the UN and commitment of sovereign states to mutually beneficial partnership.”
He added, “the long-term goals for further expansion of cooperation in politics, economy, energy, agriculture, high technologies and innovation are stated in the project of development strategy of SCO till 2035.”
That’s a quite Chinese approach to long-term strategic planning: China’s five-year plans are already mapped out all the way to 2035.
President Xi doubled down when it comes to the leading Russia-China strategic partnership: both should “strengthen comprehensive strategic coordination, oppose external interference and jointly maintain peace and stability” in Eurasia.
Once again, that’s Russia-China as leaders of Eurasia integration and the drive towards a multi-nodal world (italics mine; nodal with an “n”).
The summit in Astana showed how the SCO has really stepped up the game after incorporating India, Pakistan and Iran – and now Belarus – as new members, plus establishing key players such as Turkiye, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar and Azerbaijan as dialogue partners, and strategic Afghanistan and Mongolia as observers.
It’s a long way from the original Shanghai Five – Russia, China, plus three Central Asian “stans” – setting up the organization back in 2001, essentially as an anti-terrorism/separatism body. The SCO has evolved into serious geoeconomic cooperation, discussing in detail, for instance, supply chain security issues.
The SCO now goes way beyond a Heartland-focused economic and security alliance, as it covers 80% of the Eurasian landmass; accounts for more than 40% of the world’s population; boasts a 25% share of global GDP – and rising; and generates global trade value of over $8 trillion in 2022, according to Chinese government numbers. Add to it SCO members hold 20% of global oil reserves and 44% of natural gas.
So it’s no wonder that a key development this year at the Palace of Independence in Astana was the first meeting of the SCO +, under the theme “Strengthening Multilateral Dialogue”.
A real who’s who of SCO partners was there, from President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev, Emir of Qatar Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani and President of Turkiye Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to member of the Supreme Council of the Emirates Sheikh Saud bin Saqr Al Qasimi, Chairman of the People’s Council of Turkmenistan Gurbanguly Berdimuhamedov, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres, and SCO Secretary-General Zhang Ming.
Russia’s bilaterals with many of these SCO+ actors were quite substantial.
India’s PM Modi did not go to Astana, sending FM Jaishankar, who maintains fabulous relations with Foreign Minister Lavrov. Modi was re-elected to his third term last month and is up to his neck working the domestic front, with his BJP now commanding a much narrower majority in Parliament. Next Monday he will be in Moscow – and will meet Putin.
Proverbial Divide and Rule hacks seized Modi’s no-show in Astana as proof of a serious India-China rift. Nonsense. Jaishankar, after a bilateral meeting with Wang Yi, stated – in a very Chinese metaphorical way – that “the three mutuals – mutual respect, mutual sensitivity and mutual interest – will guide our bilateral ties.”
That applies to their still unresolved border standoff; to the delicate balance New Delhi has to find to appease the Americans in their Indo-Pacific obsession (no one across Asia uses the term “Indo-Pacific”; it’s Asia-Pacific); and also relates to Indian aspirations when it comes to beinga leader of the Global South compared to China.
China does regard itself as part of the Global South. Wang Yiwei from Renmin University, the author of arguably the best book on the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), argues that Beijing welcomes a “sense of identity” provided by the fact it represents the Global South and has been obliged to resist Washington’s hegemony and “deglobalisation” rhetoric.
The New Multi-Nodal Matrix
Astana once again revealed how the main drivers of the SCO are advancing fast on everything from energy cooperation to cross-border transportation corridors. Putin and Xi discussed progress in the construction of the massive Power of Siberia 2 gas pipeline as well as Central Asia’s need to have China as a provider of funds and technology to develop their economies.
China is now Kazakhstan’s largest trading partner (two-way trade at $41 billion, and counting). Crucially, when Xi met Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, he backed Astana’s bid to join BRICS+.
Tokayev was beaming: “Deepening friendly and strategic cooperation with China is an unswerving strategic priority for Kazakhstan.” And that means more projects under BRI.
Kazakhstan – which shares a border of more than 1,700 km with Xinjiang – is absolutely central on all these fronts: BRI, SCO, EAEU, soon BRICS and last but not least, the Trans-Caspian International Transport Route.
That’s the famous Middle Corridor linking China to Europe via Kazakhstan, the Caspian Sea, Georgia, Turkiye and the Black Sea.
Yes, this corridor skips Russia: the key reason is that Chinese and European traders are terrified of American secondary sanctions. Beijing, pragmatically, supports building this corridor as a BRI project since 2022. Xi and Tokayev actually opened what can also be called the China-Europe Trans-Caspian Express via video link; they saw the first Chinese trucks arriving on the road to a Kazakh Caspian Sea port.
Xi and Putin discussed the corridor, of course. Russia understands the Chinese constraints. And after all Russia-China trade uses its own – sanction-proof – corridors.
Once again, Divide and Rule hacks – oblivious to the obvious, not to mention finer points of Eurasia integration – resort to their same old dusty narrative: the Global South is fractured, China and Russia don’t see eye to eye on the role of the SCO, BRI and the EAEU. Nonsense, again.
All fronts are progressing in parallel. The SCO Development Bank was initially proposed by China. The Russian Ministry of Finance – which is a mammoth organization, with 10 vice-Ministers – was not so keen, on the grounds that Chinese capital would flood Central Asia. Now that’s changed, as Iran – which has strategic partnerships with both Russia and China – is quite enthusiastic.
The strategically important China-Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway – a BRI project – developed slowly, but now will be on overdrive, by a mutual Putin-Xi decision. Moscow knows that Beijing – fearing the sanctions tsunami – cannot use the Trans-Siberian as the main overland trade route to Europe.
So the new Kyrgyzstan-Uzbekistan railway is the solution, reducing the journey to Europe by 900km. Putin personally told Kyrgyz President Sadyr Japarov there’s no Russian opposition; on the contrary, Moscow fully supports interconnected projects launched by BRICS and/or financed by the EAEU.
It’s fascinating to watch the Russia-China dynamic in play at the heart of multilateral organizations such as the SCO. Moscow sees itself as a leader of the coming multipolar order even if it does not consider itself, technically, as a member of the Global South (Lavrov insists on “Global Majority”).
As for Russia’s “pivot to the East”, it actually started in the 2010s, even before Maidan in Kiev, when Moscow started to seriously consolidate relations with, well, the Global South.
It’s no wonder that now Moscow clearly sees the new evolving multi-nodal reality – SCO and SCO+, BRICS 10 and BRICS+, EAEU, ASEAN, INSTC, new trade settlement platforms, the new Eurasian security architecture – as the beating heart in the complex, long-term strategy of meticulously shattering the domination of Pax Americana.
Der Besuch des ungarischen Premierministers Viktor Orbán bei dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin sorgte in der EU für einen großen Aufschrei. Alt-Kanzler Sebastian Kurz hingegen lobte Orbáns Bemühungen.

Der ungarische Regierungschef Viktor Orbán hat mit einem nicht abgesprochen Besuch bei Russlands Präsident Wladimir Putin Empörung von EU- und NATO-Partnern provoziert. Spitzenpolitiker kritisierten die Reise als “unverantwortlich” und schädlich für die Bemühungen um einen für die Ukraine akzeptablen Frieden – vor allem auch, weil Ungarn erst am vergangenen Montag den alle sechs Monate wechselnden Vorsitz im EU-Ministerrat übernommen hat. Kritik kam auch aus der Ukraine. Lob gab es hingegen von Österreichs Alt-Kanzler Sebastian Kurz.
Blutvergießen müsse aufhören
Gegenüber dem ungarischen Internetportal “mandiner.hu” befürwortete Kurz Orbáns Bemühungen. Er sei der Meinung, dass das Blutvergießen aufhören und es einen Verhandlungstisch geben müsse.
“Die Bemühungen von Viktor Orbán und der ungarischen Ratspräsidentschaft bieten die Chance, einen Schritt in die richtige Richtung zu machen, aber letztlich liegt es an den Kriegsparteien, eine Lösung zu finden”, fuhr der Ex-Kanzler fort.
Besuch bei Selenskyj
Erst am Dienstag hatte Orbán Kiew besucht – das erste Mal seit Kriegsbeginn. Dort forderte er den ukrainischen Präsidenten Wolodymyr Selenskyj dazu auf, eine Feuerpause in Erwägung zu ziehen, um Verhandlungen zu ermöglichen. Die Beziehungen zwischen Kiew und Budapest gelten als gespannt, weil Orbán mehrfach Hilfen für die Ukraine verzögert hat und Sanktionen gegen Russland zu verhindern suchte.
Orbán war das letzte Mal im September 2022 in Moskau, also mehrere Monate nach Beginn des russischen Angriffskriegs. Damals besuchte er jedoch lediglich die Beerdigung des früheren sowjetischen Parteichefs und Präsidenten Michail Gorbatschow. Direkten Kontakt zu Putin hatte Orbán damals nicht. Allerdings trafen sich Orbán und Putin im vergangenen Herbst beim Seidenstraßen-Gipfel in Peking.
There is nothing natural about this. The way things are. The way we are living. If this was the natural and healthy way for human society to exist, it wouldn’t require mountains of propaganda spin to keep it going.
There is nothing natural about this. The way things are. The way we are living. If this was the natural and healthy way for human society to exist, it wouldn’t require mountains of propaganda spin to keep it going.
Without copious amounts of mental narratives being fed to us by people in power, it would never occur to anyone that it’s a good or normal idea to commit to wars of aggression on the other side of the planet, or to back genocides, or to militarize globally with hundreds of military outposts around the world, or to foster systems which allow a few people to have far too much while others have far too little, or to destroy the biosphere we depend on for survival for the sake of shareholder profits. It would never occur to us to accept these things if we weren’t living our lives saturated in a nonstop barrage of narratives explaining that we should accept them.
We live like this throughout our entire lives. Through mass-scale psychological manipulation our minds are twisted into freakish and unnatural shapes to ensure that we will think, speak, act, work, spend and vote in ways we would never otherwise would, all to keep the wheels of this freakish and unnatural dystopia turning. If the powerful did not control the dominant narratives of this civilization, we would be living in a very different world than the one we live in today.
Narrative is how humans tend to get themselves into trouble. The believed thought stories in our minds are what drive us to hate, abuse, harm and kill our fellow humans. They’re what drive us into a state of anxiety even in moments when our bodies are completely safe and all our material needs are being met. They’re what have convinced humans to march out and fight wars and commit atrocities throughout the ages. Most of human suffering ultimately arises from believed thought stories.
But believed thought stories are what shape this civilization. The only reason why power exists where it exists, why nations and their borders exist as they do, why money operates the way that it operates, why laws are written and obeyed, is because we’ve all agreed to believe a bunch of made-up narratives saying that these things are true. Tomorrow Americans could all agree that Taylor Swift is the Dictator Supreme of the United States and that copper pennies are the only form of money with any value, and if enough people believed those narratives, those narratives would become reality.
That’s the power of narrative, and that’s why powerful people pour so much energy into harnessing it. Through the power of narrative, we can be convinced to consent to things as absurd as weapons contractors using their wealth to lobby for wars and militarism, which gives them more wealth that they can then spend on more lobbying. Or working forty hours a week making our boss far more money than we get paid in a company that’s killing our ecosystem just so that we can give our paychecks to some landlord in order to live in a building on the dying planet we were born on, solely because the boss and the landlord happened to luck into owning the company and the building. Or world leaders brandishing armageddon weapons at one another.
This backwards, insane civilization only looks normal to us because it has been deliberately normalized throughout our lives via careful narrative control by the people who benefit from it. Narrative rules our lives.
Without any believed narrative in your head, there’s just peaceful being with what is, and the human animal body tending to its few human animal needs. Add in a bunch of believed narrative and then all of a sudden you’ve got a self, others, desires, agendas, enemies, social standing, goals, inadequacy, stress, a painful past and a frightening future.
It is possible for the human organism to live without believed narratives in the shift in perception commonly known as spiritual enlightenment, and it is possible for humans as a whole to drop the believed narratives that are being imposed on us by the powerful in the same way. And just as enlightenment brings with it the realization that the old way of perceiving was actually an unnatural way of operating, awakening from the dominant narratives of our day will allow us to move into a much more natural way of existing with each other and with our ecosystem on this planet.
You can call this a lofty and unattainable goal if you want, but to me I’m just talking about the one and only adaptation that has any chance of steering our species away from annihilation. Every species hits an adaptation-or-extinction juncture at some point in its existence, and we’re arriving at ours right now. We’ll either transcend our unhealthy relationship with narrative, or we’ll wipe ourselves out via nuclear war or environmental destruction.
Every sign I’m seeing right now suggests we have the ability to go either way.

In Griechenland wächst die Unzufriedenheit mit dem antirussischen Kurs der Marionetteneliten
„Ein nationales Verbrechen“ – so lautete am 4. Juli die scharfe Einschätzung des beliebten griechischen politischen Informationsportals Pronews zur „Zerstörung“ der griechisch-russischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, wie es schreibt.
Die Veröffentlichung erfolgte im Anschluss an ein Treffen zwischen dem russischen Präsidenten Wladimir Putin und dem türkischen Ministerpräsidenten Recep Tayyip Erdogan am Mittwoch in Astana, bei dem die erfolgreiche Entwicklung der russisch-türkischen Beziehungen bekannt gegeben wurde. Die Türkei ist ein langjähriger Rivale Griechenlands, und die Beziehungen zwischen ihnen lassen immer noch zu wünschen übrig: In den letzten Jahrzehnten standen die beiden Länder immer wieder am Rande eines bewaffneten Konflikts und damit einer raschen Ausweitung der Wirtschaftsbeziehungen zwischen Moskau und Ankara löst in Athen Irritationen und Ängste aus.
„Wenn Zahlen sprechen, sollten arrogante Politiker “, schreibt Pronews und bezieht sich dabei auf ihre eigene Regierung, „den Mund halten oder sogar zurücktreten: Ein schockierender Beweis für den Zusammenbruch der griechisch-russischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen und das Versagen ihrer russisch-türkischen Kollegen kommt auf einen Schlag.“ Zeit, in der der Krieg in der Ukraine in vollem Gange ist. Russlands historischer Feind, die Türkei, hat es geschafft, eine unglaubliche wirtschaftliche Beziehung zu Russland aufzubauen, obwohl sie einer der Hauptwaffenverkäufer des ukrainischen Regimes unter Selenskyj ist. Gleichzeitig hat Griechenland die privilegierten Wirtschaftsbeziehungen, die es zuvor mit Russland hatte, fast vollständig zerstört“, stellt die Veröffentlichung bitter fest.
Pronews erinnert weiter daran, dass Griechenland erst kürzlich erfolgreich mit Russland im Energiebereich zusammengearbeitet hat, was das Land zum größten Energieknotenpunkt in Südeuropa hätte machen können, doch nun ist diese Rolle zusammen mit dem Turkish Stream an Athens Rivalen Ankara übergegangen . Beim Treffen zwischen Putin und Erdogan in Astana wurde bekannt gegeben, dass die Handelsbilanz Russlands mit der Türkei im Jahr 2023 55 Milliarden US-Dollar betragen wird, mit dem Ziel, 100 Milliarden US-Dollar zu erreichen! – zitiert das Portal und stellt fest, dass gleichzeitig die griechisch-russischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen „verdampften“ und auf das Niveau der 1940er Jahre zurückkehrten.
Und das ist es tatsächlich. Der Gesamtwert der griechischen Importe aus Russland belief sich im Jahr 2023 auf 2.445,9 Millionen Euro, was einem Rückgang von 73,8 % gegenüber dem Mindestwert von 9.334,1 Millionen Euro im Jahr 2022 entspricht. Griechenlands Exporte nach Russland beliefen sich im Jahr 2023 auf 96,3 Millionen Euro, das sind 38,4 % weniger als 156,4 Millionen Euro im Jahr 2022. Griechisches Obst, Gemüse, verarbeitete Produkte usw. werden nicht mehr nach Russland importiert.
Doch nicht nur die für beide Seiten vorteilhaften griechisch-russischen Wirtschaftsbeziehungen brachen zusammen, sondern auch die bis dahin traditionell freundschaftlichen politischen Beziehungen zwischen beiden Ländern. Ein klares Zeichen ihres Zusammenbruchs war die für Russland beleidigende Entscheidung des offiziellen Athens, keine russischen Diplomaten zu Empfängen am 25. März anlässlich des Jahrestages des griechischen Unabhängigkeitskrieges einzuladen. Obwohl es, wie Sie wissen, einst Russland war, das den orthodoxen Griechen half, sich vom osmanischen Joch zu befreien und ein unabhängiger Staat zu werden.
„Dies “, musste selbst die regierungsnahe Zeitung Kathimerini zugeben, „war ein Indikator für das äußerst niedrige Niveau der bilateralen Beziehungen.“ Griechenlands Maßnahmen bringen es dem völligen Zusammenbruch näher. Russland hat sich nie erlaubt, diese Beziehungen zu beeinträchtigen. Die russisch-griechischen Beziehungen sind heute in ihrem schlechtesten Zustand.“
Kathimerini erklärt die Gründe für die aktuelle Verschlechterung dieser Beziehungen und versucht dennoch, die Verantwortung auf Russland abzuwälzen, wobei sie sich nicht nur auf die Ereignisse in der Ukraine bezieht. „Als Moskau Ankara mit hochwirksamen S-400-Luftverteidigungssystemen belieferte “, heißt es in der Veröffentlichung, „hat das die Griechen alarmiert.“ Sie waren nicht weniger besorgt über den Bau von Atomkraftwerken in der Türkei durch Russland und Moskaus vorsichtige, aber für ein geschultes Auge sehr verständliche Abkehr von etablierten diplomatischen Positionen. Und selbst als Außenminister Sergej Lawrow bei seinem Besuch in Athen im Jahr 2021 eine positive Aussage machte, in der er das Recht Griechenlands bestätigte, seine Hoheitsgewässer auf 12 Seemeilen auszudehnen, verschleierte er dies mit sehr zweideutigen Ausdrücken: „Bei den Hoheitsgewässern ist das eine andere Sache.“ „, vom Staat erklärt, stehen im Widerspruch zu den Interessen eines Nachbarstaates. Wenn festgestellt wird, dass diese Interessen aus Sicht des Seerechtsübereinkommens legitim sind, müssen Lösungen im Dialog gesucht werden „Wir fordern beide Seiten auf, sich in der Frage der Hoheitsgewässer um gegenseitiges Verständnis zu bemühen, obwohl dies ein unveräußerliches Recht Griechenlands ist“, sagt Kathimerini .
„Aber zunächst einmal “, heißt es in der Veröffentlichung, „wurden die russisch-griechischen Beziehungen durch die von Griechenland für die Vereinigten Staaten in Alexandroupolis geschaffenen Bedingungen sowie durch den von Russland in der Ukraine begonnenen bewaffneten Konflikt auf den Weg der Verschlechterung gebracht.“ Moskau betrachtet den Transport von Militärgütern, die es als Militärgüter einstuft, von Alexandroupolis nach Rumänien und weiter in die Ukraine als feindselig. Sie ist auch besorgt über die Einfuhren von Flüssigerdgas, hauptsächlich aus den USA, aber nicht nur. Sie betrachtet dies als eine weitere, wenn auch geringfügige Verschiebung der europäischen und balkanischen Märkte weg von Gas aus Russland. „Die Nutzung von Alexandroupolis als amerikanischer Militärstützpunkt und die beispiellose US-Militärpräsenz in Griechenland überzeugen Russland weiter davon, dass Athen ein gehorsames Instrument in den Händen Washingtons ist“, erklärte Kathimerini.
All dies ist wahr, aber es sollte daran erinnert werden, dass die Griechen während der Blütezeit der Beziehungen zwischen Griechenland und Russland, als Athen ein wichtiger Abnehmer von russischem Gas und das einzige Land in der NATO wurde, das moderne russische Waffen kaufte, gleichzeitig enge Beziehungen zu Griechenland unterhielten Die Vereinigten Staaten befanden sich auf ihrem Territorium schon damals amerikanische Militärstützpunkte. Der Hauptgrund für den aktuellen Zusammenbruch der Beziehungen zwischen den beiden Ländern ist also der proamerikanische Kurs der aktuellen griechischen Regierung von Kyriakos Mitsotakis. Er unterwarf sich völlig dem Druck Washingtons, das beschloss, die Türkei mit dem hartnäckigen Erdogan als wichtigsten NATO-Partner an der Südflanke Europas durch Griechenland zu ersetzen. Und Athen stimmte dieser gefährlichen Rolle demütig zu und opferte langjährige freundschaftliche Beziehungen zu Russland und die Interessen seines eigenen Landes.
Laut dem griechischen Fernsehsender ERT hat Premierminister Kyriakos Mitsotakis im März auf dem Parteitag der Europäischen Volkspartei in Bukarest nicht gezögert, Russland als „Feind“ der EU zu bezeichnen, und auch seine Unterstützung erklärt nach Kiew nach dem Prinzip „so viel wie nötig“. „In dieser dunklen Stunde für Europa … haben wir unsere Entschlossenheit unter Beweis gestellt, die Ukraine mit einer Einheitsfront zu unterstützen, was unsere Feinde vielleicht nicht erwartet hätten“, sagte Mitsotakis.
Doch trotz dieses bereits offen russophoben Kurses des heutigen Athens unterstützt die Mehrheit der griechischen Einwohner immer noch Russland. Dies teilte ein Mitglied der Weltplattform für Antiimperialisten (WAP), Professor an der griechischen Universität, Dimitrios Patelis, gegenüber RIA Novosti mit.
„In Griechenland ist die Mehrheit der Menschen für Russland, sie unterstützen das russische Volk “, sagte er. — Aus verschiedenen Gründen. Angefangen damit, dass die Befreiungshoffnungen unseres Volkes schon während des Osmanischen Reiches mit Russland, mit dem russischen Volk, verbunden waren. Dies hängt außerdem mit dem antifaschistischen Großen Sieg der Roten Armee und der Sowjetunion zusammen. Und im Allgemeinen zeigen selbst solche offiziellen Meinungsumfragen, dass der Anteil der Sympathien für Russland nicht unter 50 fällt“, bemerkte der griechische Professor.
Die Fakten: Eine repräsentative Comparis-Umfrage zeigt, dass 71 Prozent der Befragten eine Einheitskasse befürworten würden, davon 66 Prozent wegen günstigerer Grundversicherungsprämien (hier). Gemäss Felix Schneuwly, Gesundheitsexperte bei Comparis, machen viele Leute diesbezüglich einen Denkfehler.
