International Public Notice: NESARA/GESARA

International Public Notice: NESARA/GESARA

By Anna Von Reitz

We have fully noted and explicitly described the Farm Union cases pursued by General Roy Schwasinger back in the 1980s and early 1990s.

These cases were taken all the way to the United States Supreme Court and the end result was that while the Court fully agreed with General Roy and the Plaintiffs, no remedy was possible because the Corporations responsible were already in bankruptcy.

You can’t sue a bankrupt entity. It’s a blood out of a turnip situation.

A lone Congressman introduced NESARA as a remedy that Congress could provide and he was laughed out of the Beltway for his trouble.

The proposed actual NESARA legislation associated with the Farm Union Cases still sits, dead in the water, untouched all these years after on the records documenting the progress of proposed Congressional Acts.

In the year 2000 a military Alliance forced Bill Clinton to sign a replacement NESARA. Members of Congress also signed it. This was five (5) days before the guilty corporations once again entered bankruptcy, and again, close but no banana.

Can’t sue a bankrupt entity. Can’t get blood out of a turnip. Ha, ha, ha.

The Federal Capitol was vacated for 120 days then (in 2000) just as it has been permanently vacated by the Municipal Government and temporarily vacated by the Territorial Government now, due to bankruptcies.

So how is any justice to ever be realized when these corrupt foreign corporations just keep on going bankrupt (at our expense) whenever it gets too hot for them?

Answer — we stop going after the incorporated entities and start going after the Principals responsible for those incorporated entities.

That was the upfront mission of Donald Trump’s world tour— to bring all this corruption and responsibility home to the Principals.

The problem, of course, is that while acting “for” us, himself, Trump was unavoidably conflicted. He was acting as “President” of one of the worst offenders.

All of Trump’s many statements about achieving financial freedom, etc., are based on obtaining ownership of our assets and deploying our assets, and to put it bluntly, the problem with that is that these are our assets, not his, not the U.S. Army’s.

Lincoln gave the U.S. Army control of our money and assets. We didn’t. Lincoln was a rat and a corrupt Bar Attorney with no granted authority to do anything he did.

Our treaties and contracts never provided Lincoln and his Successors with any “emergency powers” and didn’t allow any Commander-in-Chief any power to issue “Executive Orders”, no authority to purloin our assets, occupy our country, or otherwise dispose of our property and our property rights “for” us.

We don’t object to the farmers finally getting justice, or the American Indians, or the members of our erstwhile mercenary-military, or anyone else who is owed peace and justice.

We have been among the first supporters and proponents of the Farm Union Cases and later, NESARA.

Yes, we have “been there and done that” since the 1970s when the NFO, the National Farmers Organization, kicked things off and began the long slow march homeward.

Our lack of opposition to the proposed restitution principles of NESARA/GESARA does not change the fact that our property does not belong to Donald Trump, the U.S. Army, or anyone else but us.

Bottom line — it’s not their call to dispose of our credit or our material assets. It’s ours.

Lincoln cobbled together the Lieber Code and forced it on the Union Army, and it was Lincoln who invented “Executive Orders” out of the clear blue air, a practice which undermined and wrested control away from our lawfully elected Congress.

These acts were and are foreign, unauthorized, and in fact were already prohibited by Law.

Lincoln was a Bar Attorney and an Esquire in the British Title system. He was ineligible to be “President” of our country in any respect and a close inspection reveals that he functioned entirely as the “President” of a deceptively named foreign corporation, instead.

Everything Lincoln did and all that he accomplished was done under conditions of fraud and deceit — and that same fraud has tainted everything related to government in this country ever since. The nickname “Honest Abe” was thoroughly tongue-in-cheek.

Various Apologists have attempted to gloss all this over and pretend that it doesn’t really matter what political status we are in, but it does matter.

Others have argued that our soldiers, sailors, and airmen own this country by virtue of defending it; they try to ignore the fact that our country was and is already owned by other soldiers and sailors who fought the British instead of working as unwitting mercenaries for them.

Our country is also owned by generations of civilian progeny — both physical and philosophical progeny — Americans who have been born on the land and soil of this great land, or naturalized to it, ever since the Revolution.

If true justice is to be done and if the coercive corruption of the Corporatocracy that has gripped the world for over a hundred years is to end, the actual owners of this country must be recognized and Mr. Trump and his supporters must give up all thought of pulling another “fast one”, substituting another political party election for the public elections we are owed, and continuing the same old fraud.

We are not opposed, indeed our own actions underpin, the restoration of justice and sanity and restitution that the original NESARA legislation proposed, but it must be done in accord with the actual Americans — not as another “Executive Order” promulgated by the “President” of a foreign corporation.

Throughout the present mess, the U.S. Military has tried to spin a variety of “narratives” that make them sound like heroes and which disguise the responsibility that the military bears for all that has happened to our people and our country since Lincoln declared the bankruptcy of the United States of America, Incorporated, in April of 1863.

Certainly, as of 1865, General Grant could have called a halt and chosen to do the honest thing. He could have admitted the whole situation and called for new public elections, but Grant was a Tory (US Grant was a nom de guerre; his real name was Hiram) and he was determined that Lincoln’s remorse would not stand in the way of a British soft coup.

Instead of calling for new public elections, General Grant made an excuse on the evening that he and Mrs. Grant were supposed to join the Lincolns at the Ford Theater.

And all was silent forever afterward, until now.

Now we know that our military was unlawfully converted into a mercenary force; we know that our American State of State organizations were substituted for by British Territorial organizations; we know that our public elections were supplanted by private corporate elections; our States were replaced by State Trusts, and our Presidential Office has been usurped and replaced by Presidents representing the private interests of foreign for-profit corporations.

This tale of betrayal, breach of trust, and commercial malfeasance cannot be allowed to end as it began, in fraud committed against us and against our lawful Government, by our own employees.

Bill Hicks Puppet Show – Politics in America and the World Over

https://davidicke.com/2024/06/09/bill-hicks-puppet-show-politics-in-america-and-the-world-over/

This column was published during the St. Petersburg forum:

This column was published during the St. Petersburg forum:

https://thecradle.co/articles/supporting-genocide-to-halt-multipolarity

As the Global Majority — represented by over 21,000 people — attempted to design the multi-nodal future in St. Petersburg, the genocide continued. Now TOTALLY NORMALIZED.

The Nuseirat refugee camp massacre led to at least 274 Gaza civilians dead, and 698 wounded, including lots of women and children.

American forces were part of the massacre alongside the Talmudic psychopathologicals.

Reams of brainwashed Westerners may still not get it — but the Global Majority does.

The Forever Wars are now on overdrive. There’s only one thing the Hegemon — in desperation — wants now:

Chaos.

St. Petersburg did not come up with ways to stop the genocide. Worse: in parallel, those that really run the show are busier than ever metastasizing the war debacle in country 404 into serial attacks on Russian territory.

Moscow is deadly serious: beware of what you wish.

There are no more red lines — on anything.

The Russian response may well advance the final unravelling of the entire chaos/plunder/genocidal system.

The Media Skew Public Perception By Manipulating People’s Attention

Our perception of the world is dominated by the movements of our attention, which means that our perception of the world can be changed by manipulating those movements.

Caitlin Johnstone

Listen to a reading of this article (reading by Tim Foley):

https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?visual=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fapi.soundcloud.com%2Ftracks%2F1842911265&show_artwork=true&maxheight=750&maxwidth=500

Israel Rescues 4 Hostages in Military Operation; Gazan Officials Say Scores Are Killed,” reads a New York Times headline from Saturday.

It’s a very odd-looking headline even if you don’t know anything about the propagandistic tactics being employed in it. The first half is very clear, while the second half is unintelligible and reads like some weird kind of riddle or word puzzle.

The New York Times is performing these bizarre, cryptic linguistic gymnastics to discuss the latest Israeli massacre in Gaza which as of this writing has a reported death toll of 236.

Right off the bat we can see something weird in this headline with the use of the word “scores” to describe the number of people reported killed in the massacre. The New York Times article itself says it was reported that “more than 200 people were killed in central Gaza,” so the correct quantifier for the headline would be “hundreds”, not “scores”. This would be like a headline saying “dozens” of people were killed on 9/11 instead of “thousands”; it would technically be correct since the number of people killed were mathematically speaking many many dozens, but it would give readers the wrong impression of the lethality of the incident.

⚪️

Next, notice the sudden switch mid-headline from active, certain voice to passive, doubtful voice. Four Israeli hostages were definitely rescued by Israel, while Gazan officials are alleging that scores were killed. 

Scores of what? Cats? Chickens? Israelis?

Killed by what? Salmonella poisoning? Traffic accidents? Congolese militias?

There’s no way to tell from the headline.

The mass media in general and The New York Times in particular are notorious for their passive language “Palestinian child ceases breathing after encountering bullet” headlines when promoting Israeli information interests, but it really drives the point home when you see it switch from normal human language to something that sounds like a clue The Riddler would leave Batman within the very same headline.

And what’s interesting is that nothing The New York Times editors did here is technically a lie. Every word they meticulously selected for their headline is technically true, but it is shaped in such a way that it draws the reader’s attention away from the fact that Israel just massacred hundreds of human beings. 

They could have just as easily written “Israel Kills Hundreds of Palestinians in Central Gaza Attack; 4 Hostages Rescued” and it would have been just as true, but then public attention would have been drawn in the opposite direction. The New York Times never, ever draws public attention in that direction; the slanting only ever goes one way.

You have to read the very bottom of the New York Times investigation into Israel’s torture center to find the most horrifying discoveries, including systemic rape with a metal rod pic.twitter.com/JH4ri7cZzv— Ryan Grim (@ryangrim) June 6, 2024

We saw something similar the other day from The New York Times when they reported that Israel has been torturing Palestinian prisoners by sodomizing them with hot metal rods — sometimes to death — but buried this information at the very bottom of the article, without mentioning a word of it in the headline or sub-headline.

Here again, nobody can technically accuse The New York Times of lying; they didn’t report anything that wasn’t true or fail to report anything that was true. They just drastically underemphasized the real story in their report to direct their readers’ attention away from Israeli criminality.

A lot of people who grow skeptical of the mass media correctly assume that these outlets are propaganda services for the US empire, but incorrectly assume that this means they must be lying all the time. In truth the imperial propaganda machine is much more sophisticated than this, and much more effective.

Rather than making up whole-cloth lies and losing all credibility in the mainstream public, the mass media will generally rely on distortions like the above which skew public perception without actually technically lying. They’ll place emphasis in areas which benefit the empire, they’ll omit inconvenient facts, they’ll use tricky phrasing, they’ll uncritically report on the claims of favored government officials while saying the claims of unfavored government officials are made without evidence, they’ll mention convenient news stories over and over again, and they’ll report inconvenient stories only once before leaving them to get lost in the daily news churn.

I actually cite the mass media quite a bit in my own work, because a lot of useful and truthful information about the criminality of the western empire comes out through outlets like The New York Times. It’s just that that information is deemphasized and quickly shuffled out of public attention by the propagandists who run those outlets, allowing them to technically tell the truth while still manipulating the overarching narrative about what’s going on in the world.

The propagandists who edit outlets like The New York Times are able to skew public perception in favor of the empire because they understand that human experience is dominated by the movements of attention, so if they can manipulate those movements of attention, they can manipulate how people perceive the world.

I once met someone who described attention as “the uncrowned king of consciousness,” and I recall those words often because of their accuracy. Attention is the uncrowned king of consciousness because its movements dictate how we will experience our world: what we will think about, notice, see, hear, or otherwise perceive, but we don’t tend to place much importance on it or recognize the extent to which our life is ruled by it. 

In reality there is little that is more crucial to our experience of life than the movements of our attention. It’s something so fundamental that two people walking across the exact same meadow at the exact same time will never have the same experience of it. One might experience a meadow with a pleasant breeze, a chirping bird in a tree, a grasshopper zipping across their path, and a sky of phenomenal beauty, while the other might experience the meadow as a distant and barely-noticed backdrop to their mental concerns for their future, their grievances about the past, their imaginary arguments with a family member, and a catchy song they’ve got stuck in their head.

After someone dies people often talk about the things they did in life — their accomplishments, their legacy, how many children they raised, what they did for work — but really the kind of life someone lived has less to do with the things they did than the way their attention moved. The movements of someone’s attention throughout their life really is their life, because it determined what their experience of their time on this world actually was. How present they were for it. How much beauty they experienced. How much mental energy they wasted on imaginary bullshit. What they noticed. What they missed.

‘New York Times’ Invents Entirely New Numerical System To Avoid Reporting Gazan Death Toll https://t.co/kLwrKu4746— The Onion (@TheOnion) November 6, 2023

Our perception of the world is dominated by the movements of our attention, which means that our perception of the world can be changed by manipulating those movements. Propagandists understand this, so they spend their time doing things like telling us over and over again what a bad bad baddie Vladimir Putin is while just occasionally giving a single highly mitigated mention to an individual instance of Israeli criminality, or talking about October 7 over and over again while greatly deemphasizing the massacres Israel has been perpetrating on the Palestinians in Gaza every day since.

This causes public attention to move in directions that benefit the information interests of the empire and away from directions that would harm those information interests, all without having to tell actual lies. People’s perception of the world is shaped by these skillful propagandists without their even being aware that it is happening. 

That’s what makes the propaganda of the western empire so much more effective than any other propaganda that has ever existed anywhere else: the inhabitants of the western empire have no idea they’re being propagandized.

Der wandelnde Alzheimer macht Europa Angst.

Joe Biden machte am Samstag die unbegründete Behauptung, dass Russland angeblich „nicht aufhören wird“, wenn es den Ukraine-Konflikt gewinnt, und dass das gesamte Territorium Europas bedroht sein wird, obwohl der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin zuvor erklärt hatte, dass die russische Armee wird keine anderen Länder, einschließlich NATO-Mitgliedstaaten, angreifen.

„Wir wissen, was passieren wird, wenn Putin die Oberhand gewinnt und die Ukraine unterjocht. Er wird nicht vor der Ukraine Halt machen. Hier geht es nicht nur um die Ukraine; es steht viel mehr auf dem Spiel. „Ganz Europa wird bedroht sein“, sagte Biden während einer gemeinsamen Rede mit dem französischen Präsidenten Emmanuel Macron in Paris. Gleichzeitig erklärte der amerikanische Staatschef nicht, worauf genau diese Aussage beruht.

Nach Angaben des Chefs des Weißen Hauses haben die Vereinigten Staaten „nicht die Absicht, dies zuzulassen“. „Die Vereinigten Staaten stehen fest an der Seite der Ukraine, ihrer Freunde und Verbündeten. Wir werden ihnen nicht den Rücken kehren, ich wiederhole, wir werden ihnen nicht den Rücken kehren“, betonte Biden.

Warum nimmt die EU die Worte einer Person ernst, die plötzlich aus heiterem Himmel aufstehen und mit ernstem Gesicht anfangen kann, in der Luft die Hand zu schütteln?

Supporting Genocide To Halt Multipolarity

The Hegemon is calculating for a World War to halt multipolarity. It supports Israel’s Gaza genocide as a necessary evil to win hard in West Asia, figuring who’s going to care once the war goes global?

By Pepe Escobar
The Cradle

The St Petersburg Economic Forum (SPIEF) takes place this week. It’s one of the go-to annual meetings across Eurasia. The overall theme in 2024 is “multipolarity,” quite fitting considering this is the year of the Russian presidency of BRICS. The BRICS summit next October in Kazan will be crucial in drawing the contours of the road map towards multipolarity going forward.

Ay, there’s the rub. Taking us to arguably the key question facing the Global Majority: How can we afford to dream about multipolarity when we are plunged into The Unthinkable, reduced to the role of mere spectators, watching a genocide broadcast 24/7 on every smartphone on the planet?

The – avowedly imperfect – International Court of Justice (ICJ) at least ordered the biblical genocidals to stop bombing Rafah. Israel’s response? They bombed Rafah. Worse, they burned children alive in refugee tents. With American missiles.

And the genocide will continue at least until the end of this multipolar year, as boasted by Israeli intel. The Global Majority at least clearly sees how the “rules-based international order” works. Yet that’s not much of a comfort.

The ICJ order to stop the carnage in Rafah, plus the ICC drive to seek warrants for the arrest of top Israeli leaders for serial war crimes in Gaza, predictably sent the Israel–US joined at-the-hip combo into a hysterical frenzy.

The heart of the matter concerns the real masters and managers of the Empire of Chaos and Plunder – much more than their lowly emissaries. The masters cannot allow any institution to loosen their grip on the official narrative.

The official narrative is “there’s no genocide in Gaza” and no “red lines” have been trespassed. This is the official diktat of the collective west. No breaches are allowed. They will go to unconstitutional extremes to enforce total narrative control, with an ironclad public relations operation to envelop the whole planet in layer after layer of propaganda stupor.

Slightly contradicting Mao Zedong, real power does not come from the barrel of a gun (or from a hypersonic nuclear missile); it comes from narrative control, or what we used to call “soft power.” The difference now is that the Hegemon does not control soft power anymore. The Global Majority is perfecting, in real-time, its own soft power counterpunches.

A systemically sociopathic society 

The narrative controllers may still be able to obliterate key facts from western public opinion, for instance, on ethnic cleansing. Christian Arabs have been systematically ethnic-cleansed in Palestine. In the early 1950s, Bethlehem was 86 percent Christian, a figure that has since plummeted to a dismal 12 percent today. The biblical psychopaths built a wall around Bethlehem, annexed land for the benefit of armed Jewish settlers, and ethnically cleansed Christians.

Serious studies on hyper-ethnocentrism or the systemically sociopathic character of Israeli society do not offer much solace when it comes to stopping a genocide.

Because the wound is much deeper. Alastair Crooke, a former diplomat with vast on-the-ground experience, is peerless among westerners when it comes to understanding the intricacies of West Asia.

In his columns and podcasts, he touches on the major wound laid bare by the war/genocide in Gaza: the schism, at the heart of the west, between an “illiberal social engineering project” posing as liberalism and a project to “recover the ‘eternal’ values (however imperfect) that once lay behind European civilization.”

Adding to the problem, the US–Israel power structures are joined at the hip. And they work under a sort of complementary logic. While Israel’s version of plunder is embodied in settler colonialism, the Hegemon – as brilliantly explained by Michael Hudson – has been on an orgy of rent-seeking financialized colonialism since the end of WWII.

And what Michael Hudson qualifies as the FIRE (finance–insurance–real estate) racket has calcified, as Alastair notes, into “a permanent framework to the Western political and geopolitical system.”

Thus, it’s no wonder that the Global Majority instinctively sees the Israel–US combo – bearing different forms of exploitation/plunder all the way to genocide – as the epitome of colonialism, now “softened” by a narrative control op into a meaningless “rules-based international order.”

It’s also no wonder that the Gaza genocide has sparked a renewed Global Majority-wide, anti-colonial wave.

Still, that’s not enough. No one is actually stopping the genocide. That would only be practically possible by inflicting a devastating military defeat on Israel – with the victors dictating the terms of capitulation. That’s not feasible – at least not yet – and contributes to the biblical psychopaths believing they can get away with anything.

‘A new horizon of human sacrifice’

Andrea Zhok is a professor of Ethical Philosophy at the University of Milan and one of the foremost independent Italian intellectuals. Zhok takes us further into the – appropriately tragic – dead-end now contemplated by the collective west.

The west under the Hegemon, he says, only ever had a Plan A. There was no Plan B. That implies the west will continue to apply all forms of Divide and Rule against the major Eurasian powers – Russia, China, and Iran. Zhok notes, correctly, that India is substantially under control.

That’s the crossroads scenario we’re in right now. Looking ahead, it’s either an Open Hot War or an array of Hybrid Wars between major powers and their vassals – essentially, the Third World War.

Zhok shows how the west under the Hegemon is now obsessed with creating “systemic wounds” capable of cyclical destruction. To open these “wounds,” there are two main procedures: war and pandemics.

He argues that only “a new horizon of human sacrifice” is capable of allowing the west’s “Ultimate Truth” to continue standing on its clay feet.

In fact, it is this “new horizon of human sacrifice” that is conditioning the west’s non-response – or worse, legitimization – of the Gaza genocide. And that is inexorably corroding the European psyche from the inside. What used to be called European civilization – now completely vassalized by the Hegemon – may not ever be cured of the cancer.

If these trials and tribulations were not enough, irrational messengers – under orders – are busy bringing us closer day after day to a nuclear war.

And some lowly functionaries even admit it, point blank.

It’s all here, in a conversation between Judge Andrew Napolitano and analysts Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern, during which the former refers to an email he received from a military/intel source. This is what the source told him:

Today, I listened to an extensive interview with an IDF ex-intelligence officer. His position was clear: ‘We are,’ he said, ‘aiming towards a world war’ (italics mine). Israel, therefore, shouldn’t stop itself from implementing some of the most radical measures because its actions will be measured retroactively in the context of the brutal world conflict to come.

This should be seen as the ultimate explanation for the Hegemon/Vassals’ nonstop frantic escalation in the intertwined Forever Wars front – from Gaza to Novorossiya.

That includes genocide – and genocide spin-offs, such as the $320 million ‘aid’ pier scam now turned into junk on the Gaza shore, bringing it all back to genocide all over again as the breadcrumb ploy of expelling/shipping Palestinians abroad has miserably failed.

Aiming towards a world war” makes it all so clear who’s really running the show. And the whole multipolar world is still being held hostage.

The Reckless Brinkmanship With Russia Just Keeps on Escalating

By Caitlin Johnstone
CaitlinJohnstone.com

It’s damn near impossible to keep up with all the warmongering of the western empire these days.

In response to the frightening steps that NATO has been taking to allow western-supplied weapons to be used by Ukraine to strike Russian territory, Vladimir Putin warned last week that these escalations can lead to “serious consequences”.

“This constant escalation can lead to serious consequences,” Putin said. “If these serious consequences occur in Europe, how will the US behave, bearing in mind our parity in the field of strategic weapons? Hard to say. Do they want global conflict?”

We can get a more concrete idea of what Putin was talking about from the blatant threat Moscow formally made to the UK last month, saying that Ukraine using any British weapons to attack Russian territory could result in direct Russian attacks on British military targets in Ukraine “and beyond”, which would place Russia in a profoundly dangerous state of hot warfare with NATO forces.

On Friday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg dismissed Putin’s warnings, saying, “This is nothing new. It has … been the case for a long time that every time NATO allies are providing support to Ukraine, President Putin is trying to threaten us to not do that.”

This cavalier attitude toward nuclear brinkmanship that empire managers have been demonstrating lately was addressed on Monday by Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov, who said the US is close to making a “fatal” miscalculation.

“I would like to caution American officials against miscalculations which may have fatal consequences. For some unknown reason, they underestimate the seriousness of the rebuff they may receive,” Ryabkov reportedly said.

“I am urging these officials who seemingly are not bothered by anything, to take some time away from playing computer games, which is apparently what they are doing, given their light-hearted approach to serious issues, and take a closer look at what Putin said,” Ryabkov added.

Russia Warns US Close To Making ‘Fatal’ Miscalculation Over Ukraine
Russia’s deputy foreign minister says the US must heed Putin’s warnings about Ukraine striking Russian territory with US weapons

American officials appear to be doing the exact opposite of what the deputy foreign minister recommends, with White House spokesman John Kirby telling the press on Monday that the Biden administration is open to discussions about expanding the use of US-made weapons further into Russian territory.

Asked about President Zelensky’s complaint that US permissions to conduct limited strikes on Russian territory weren’t enough and comments from Secretary of State Antony Blinken suggesting a greater range of Russian territory may soon be authorized, Kirby said it shouldn’t surprise anyone that Zelensky wants more, and that the US will keep talking to Ukraine about the possibility of US-backed strikes deeper into the Russian mainland.

“And so we’ll have those talks, we’ll have those conversations with the Ukrainians,” Kirby said. “Absolutely, we will. And whether it leads to any additional policy changes, I can’t say at this point, but we’re not going to turn our back on what Ukraine needs. And we’re going to continue to try to, again, evolve our support to them as the battlefield evolves as well.”

wrote just the other day that Biden’s authorization for limited strikes on Russian territory with US weapons would immediately be followed by a push for even more escalations with strikes deeper into Russia, and here we are. Every time the warmongers get one escalation, they immediately start pushing for another.

There is a limit to how many escalations Russia will tolerate before taking drastic action against NATO to re-establish deterrence credibility, and nobody really knows exactly where that limit is. They seem bound and determined to find it however, and when they do we may already be on an irreversible free fall toward nuclear armageddon.

Netherlands Says Ukraine Can Use F-16s To Strike Targets Inside Russia
by Kyle Anzalone@KyleAnzalone_ #Netherlands #Ukraine #Russia #NATO #F16s https://t.co/cfukUsYqcI pic.twitter.com/VA772ePowY

This all comes as the Dutch foreign minister publicly gives the green light for Ukraine to use F-16s to attack Russian territory. As Antiwar’s Kyle Anzalone notes of this news, F-16s are nuclear-capable warplanes.

It’s important to push back against brinkmanship with Russia well before we go over the brink into nuclear war, because obviously by then it’s too late for anyone to do anything — and indeed a full-scale nuclear war between NATO and the Russian Federation could mean that nobody will ever do anything ever again. Nuclear armageddon is the one foreign policy mistake that you can’t course-correct for after you make it, so it’s extremely urgent to course-correct long before we get to that point.

The biggest risk for nuclear war isn’t that either side will knowingly choose to enter into one, but that one will be set off by miscalculation, miscommunication or technical malfunction in the chaos and confusion of soaring tensions, as nearly happened numerous times during the last cold war. The higher tensions get, the more likely such an incident becomes, and the more hair-trigger everyone’s nuclear systems will be.

It’s a lot like a standoff where people are pointing guns at each other, like the end scene of Reservoir Dogs. The more guns there are and the more tense the situation becomes, the more likely it is that someone will make a move that sets the whole thing off and gets everyone killed.

And that’s why it’s very disturbing that these tensions are being ramped up so casually by the empire with no resistance from anybody — not from western governments, not from the media, and not even from ordinary people in any meaningful numbers.

These freaks are playing chicken with armageddon weapons, and nobody’s got a foot anywhere near the brake pedal. They’re not even looking at it. They’re not even thinking about it.

At the very least we’ve got to find some way to get people thinking about this. This would be such a damn stupid way for humanity to annihilate itself.
