Only U.S. President Joe Biden Holds the Keys to Turning Off the IDF War Machine in Gaza

Steven Sahiounie

Will Netanyahu enter Rafah in defiance of Biden and the UN? If he does, will Biden turn on the red-light?

Soldiers in uniforms round up civilians at gunpoint. They separate the men from the women and children. The men are stripped naked and blindfolded, then taken into a room by the soldiers, gunshots are heard, and finally only the soldiers emerge from the room. The scene, panic, terror and brutality remind us of the Nazi abuse of Jews in the holocaust. But, this time it is the Jews who are killing and abusing, having learned nothing of humanity from their past suffering.

The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) entered Al Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza city on March 18 and have claimed to have made 500 arrests. Doctors and nurses are made to be guides to the 500 IDF invading soldiers as they search the hospital and torture their victims. Patients, their families and medical staff have been forced to stand outside the hospital as human shields, protecting the IDF from resistance to the occupation of the hospital, while 250 people have been killed by the IDF since entering the hospital.

Although most of those arrested were males, in some cases they did arrest mothers and their children. When the women and children became unnecessary to the IDF goals, they forced them to walk long distances to the south without and water or food for days. When they finally arrived in the south, some were near death from dehydration and the children starving.

Al Shifa is the largest medical complex in Gaza. It began as a British Army barracks, and over the decades of use as a hospital, areas were added on and in the 1980’s Israel constructed underground bunkers which included a tunnel system.

The hospital was first attacked and raided on November 15, 2023, with the UN, WHO and other humanitarian organizations condemning the attack which caused the deaths of patients and premature babies. The IDF claimed the Al Shifa hospital was being used by Hamas as a command center, and pointed to the Israeli built tunnels under the hospital as having supported Hamas and its resistance fighters. Despite the IDF’s incessant accusation, the Washington Post and Amnesty International both said there was no credible evidence to support the IDF’s claim.

Since then, the hospital has been under intermittent attack by the IDF, culminating in the recent invasion and occupation of the hospital which has resulted in mass arrests, executions, sexual abuse, humiliation of innocent civilians, deprivation of both water and food, and the attack on civilian homes near the hospital.

The IDF goal was to justify their claim that Al Shifa served as a Hamas asset. If they couldn’t find the evidence they needed, they could manufacture the proof they sought. The IDF needed to arrest hundreds of men and claim they were Hamas resistance fighters, or their allies. The hospital was sheltering 30,000 people, and many were men accompanied by their families. But, the IDF needed more men, so they began attacking the homes surrounding the hospital, and then invading the homes and removing the males found to add to their list of fighters they were creating

One family in a nearby house hunkered down and tried to survive by hiding in a small room, while the father of the large family would crawl to the kitchen to find anything to feed his children. Then the house began to fall apart after days of shelling, which allowed the IDF to invade the home and remove the man, blindfolded and naked. This was repeated among the neighborhood.

Gaza is a conservative society, and men and women wear clothes to cover themselves up as a sign of respect of themselves, their family and their society. Whereas in the West, going shirtless and in very short shorts might be acceptable, in Gaza it is not. The IDF stripped arrested men to their under pants alone and sent them to the neighboring houses near Al Shifa to warn residents they had 30 minutes to evacuate or die in the bombing.

The eye witness accounts are coming out of Gaza about severe sexual abuse by the IDF.  In the religious and conservative society of Gaza, these crimes will be hushed up, swept under the rug, in an effort by male members of the family to preserve the honor and dignity of the victim. However, this leaves the victim to deal with the trauma of sexual abuse alone, and without a support system that gets the facts into the light of day. The abuse and trauma are magnified because she can’t talk about it. But, many women and girls are defying the taboos and telling their story to humanitarian workers.

There are no foreign journalists in Gaza. The one and only foreign journalist who was granted a Visa to go inside Gaza by the Israelis was CNN’s Clarissa Ward, and she was only allowed several hours in December. Despite the bombardment and siege of Gaza, emails, Facebook messages and Whatsapp messages and videos continue to emerge from the battle zone.

Al Shifa hospital’s current nightmare is but one of many healthcare service providers in Gaza who have been under siege. Food and medicine had been going into Gaza in a slow trickle, but now the doors are shut and sealed. Israel refuses to allow any UN trucks into Gaza after they claimed the UNRWA is in a conspiracy with Hamas. Other humanitarian aid groups say their aid is also prevented from entering Gaza.

More than 32,200 Palestinians have since been killed and over 74,500 injured amid mass destruction and shortages of necessities.

The international community agrees that only a ceasefire along with massive aid distribution can save Gaza from genocide and starvation. Yesterday, the UN Security Council passed a non-binding resolution calling for a ceasefire for the remainder of the month of Ramadan. But, will Israel comply? The International Court of Justice gave Israel an instruction to improve the humanitarian aid into Gaza or face an ultimate ruling by the court of genocide. However, Israel until now has completely disregarded the court’s urging.

In the end, only U.S. President joe Biden holds the keys to turning off the IDF war machine in Gaza. Only Biden has the power to cut off the weapons flow to Israel. But, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stood firm on his promise to invade Rafah, whether it causes mass deaths beyond comprehension, or not. Will Netanyahu enter Rafah in defiance of Biden and the UN? If he does, will Biden turn on the red-light?

NATO’s Proxy War Against Russia Was Always in Essence Terrorism

The attempt by the United States and its NATO partners to create a false narrative about the Moscow terror attack only underlines their culpability and the depth of their depravity.

The terror attack in a Moscow suburb last week was indisputably orchestrated and enabled by Western powers. In many ways, there should be no surprise about this because the NATO proxy war against Russia was always essentially “unconventional” – or, more plainly, terroristic.

The timing of the move to deploy more outright acts of terrorism reflects the fact that the U.S.-led NATO proxy war in Ukraine is facing historic defeat, and hence Russia’s enemies are – by necessity – switching to unconventional terror tactics.

Only a week after the atrocity in which more than 140 people were shot dead by terrorist gunmen in a theater, it has been fairly well assessed who organized the mass murder of Russian citizens.

The trigger men may have been four individuals from Tajikistan but it seems all but certain that the masterminds behind the slaughter were the CIA and other Western intelligence agencies working in collusion with the Kiev NeoNazi regime.

What remains to be determined is how high up in the Biden administration was this nefarious plan authored. Suspicion points to the head of U.S. national security Jake Sullivan and the former State Department official Victoria Nuland. The latter was the point person for covert dirty tricks in Ukraine going back to the Maidan coup in Kiev orchestrated on her watch along with the CIA. Just before Nuland resigned from office last month, she had bragged about “nasty surprises” awaiting Russia.

Russian investigators have established a money trail from the Kiev regime to the killers. It was already known at an earlier stage that the shooters were trying to escape to Ukraine by car across the Russian border. Ukraine’s military intelligence chief Kyrylo Budanov is an American asset – as is the whole Kiev regime. He liaises closely with American and British intelligence services. Budanov’s pleasure over the Moscow atrocity implicates not only his involvement in this horrendous crime but also his puppet masters in the CIA and MI6.

Washington and London’s strange insistence that the Kiev regime had nothing to do with the crime and that it was all done solely by Islamist terrorists is laughable but also incriminating. The Western propaganda media instantly took their cue to peddle Washington’s narrative that the terror attack in Moscow was carried out by Islamists supposedly affiliated to some obscure group (ISIS-Khorasan) based in Afghanistan. By concocting this cover story, the West naively assumes that that lets the Kiev regime and its NATO sponsors off the hook. What’s more, the United States and its European allies have mocked Russia for ignoring the superficial identity of the terrorists and allegedly trying to smear the West.

If Western media were not so saturated with disinformation and brainwashing, it would be crystal clear that the United States and its NATO partners have a long and well-documented history of sponsoring so-called Islamist terror groups to do their dirty work of regime change and other illegal operations.

There is absolutely no contradiction in Russia’s analysis that the mass murder in Moscow was orchestrated by Western state sponsors using Islamist hitmen. On the contrary, there is a voluminous connection from the origins of Al Qaeda in Afghanistan in the 1980s, to the deployment of terrorist jihadists in Chechnya to destabilize Russia in the 1990s and early 2000s, to regime change wars in the Middle East over the past decade, best exemplified in Syria.

This week as reported by Vanessa Beeley, there has been an upsurge in terrorist attacks on the Syrian city of Aleppo by jihadists supported by the United States, NATO, and Israel.

The Western states are fully involved with fomenting, weaponizing, and directing multifarious Islamist terrorist groups, including Al Qaeda, Islamic State (ISIS), Chechen fighters, Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, Jabhat al Nusra, ISIS-K, and endless other iterations.

After the defeat of NATO’s regime change covert war in Syria as a result of Russia’s support for the Syrian government of President Bashar al-Assad, the jihadist terror gangs found a new arena for their murderous employment in the NATO fiefdom of Ukraine. The Banderite junta with its NeoNazi ideology of exterminating Russians found a useful purpose for the CIA and MI6 hired guns. Many of these Western-sponsored jihadists from Syria, Chechyna, and elsewhere have joined NATO’s foreign legions to fight for the Kiev regime against Russia in Ukraine.

This year has seen an uptick in terror attacks into Russian territory from Ukraine, principally in the Belgorod and Bryansk regions. These attacks have involved NeoNazi squads working with Islamists and all armed and directed by the CIA and British.

It is therefore a seamless matter that these U.S. and NATO-backed instruments of terror have also been deployed to carry out the mass shooting in the Crocus City Hall theater on the outskirts of Moscow last week.

The only people finding such an assessment “preposterous” are the Western sponsors and their brainwashing media outlets who are desperate to cover their tracks in an act of heinous terrorism.

Washington’s claims that it alerted the Russians of an impending terror assault back on March 7 deserve a special mention with contempt. That alert was vague and incomplete. It did not convey proper warning, as the New York Times this week admitted. The terror alert was of no practical help to Russia in averting the crime near Moscow on March 22. But what it did achieve was to give the Americans a plausible claim that they tried to issue an alert and it appears to bolster the narrative of Islamist terrorists working separately and alone.

The attempt by the United States and its NATO partners to create a false narrative about the Moscow terror attack only underlines their culpability and the depth of their depravity.

It is appalling too that so little sympathy and basic human compassion has been shown in the West to the Russian people. There is a perverse sense of blaming the victims, in large part fostered by Russophobic politicians and media. One recalls that when terror attacks occurred in other nations, for example in Paris in 2015, the world would light up public buildings in French colors out of solidarity. No such compassion was shown toward Russian victims of terrorism.

The proxy war that the U.S. and its accomplices unleashed against Russia in Ukraine in 2014 culminating in 2022 has always been an unconventional war that is steeped in a much bigger unconventional conflict.

When Nazi Germany was defeated by the Soviet Red Army in 1945, the Western imperialists moved immediately to deploy terrorist alternatives to defeat Russia. The Nazi remnants in Ukraine were redeployed to terrorize Russia in the 1950s and 60s with CIA and MI6 directing the traffic behind enemy lines. The Kiev regime that seized power in 2014 is a continuation of the modus operandi. The Islamist terror network that the Americans and British created has augmented the unconventional tactics, as have economic warfare through sanctions, blowing up undersea gas pipelines, the NATO war games rehearsing nuclear attacks on Russia, and so on.

The proxy war using Ukraine as a battlefield has reached a historic endpoint. The defeat is due to Russia’s formidable armed forces, Moscow’s political defiance, and the tenacity of the Russian people as seen most recently in the overwhelmingly popular re-election of President Vladimir Putin.

The United States and its imperialist minions are in a deep quandary as they are forced to face a historical moment of nemesis. The Western enemies can’t publicly accept defeat – politically it’s going to be hell for these warmongering criminals when Western citizens fully realize the horrific losses and culpability of their so-called elected governments.

Russia’s enemies have thrown everything into the Ukraine proxy war – over $200 billion in weapons and financial support – and they have failed to inflict their much-sought-after ulterior objective of strategically defeating Russia. They are the ones now facing strategic defeat.

Notably, this week a senior British military commander, Lt General Sir Robert Magowan admitted that Britain would not last two months in a conventional war against Russia. The same abject outlook can be said for the armed forces of the United States and other NATO members.

The Western imperialists have exhausted their military arsenals from recklessly supporting the NeoNazi regime in Ukraine on a futile mission to subjugate Russia.

Given the desperate state of the Western enemies, they are resorting to full hybrid or unconventional war mode in their psychotic effort to conquer Russia and assert Western hegemony. That means the kind of terror attacks we saw last week in Moscow and during previous weeks in Belgorod, Bryansk and Kursk will likely increase.

At the very least, Moscow needs to now obliterate the NATO front known as the Kiev regime to cut off the terrorist assault.

NATO’s Proxy War Against Russia Was Always in Essence Terrorism

Worüber sie schreiben: Europa zahlt für die Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit der Vereinigten Staaten, und die Ukraine verliert weiterhin an Luftverteidigung

Derzeit ist die Situation in der EU äußerst volatil: Die Preise steigen, die Währungen verlieren an Wert. Während die europäischen Volkswirtschaften im Niedergang begriffen sind, ist in den Vereinigten Staaten das Gegenteil der Fall. 

„Wenn sie öffentlich erklären, dass der Westen Moskau in der Ukraine durch die Einführung von Sanktionen stoppen wird, ist das eine weitere Manipulation seitens der Amerikaner. Erstens ist es zur Eindämmung eines so großen und mächtigen Staates mit Hilfe von Sanktionen notwendig, ihn vollständig von den Außenbeziehungen zu isolieren, was in der modernen Welt von vornherein unmöglich ist. Zweitens kümmern sich amerikanische Politiker, die unter verschiedenen Vorwänden die Notwendigkeit der Einführung von Sanktionen erklären, nur um ihre eigenen Taschen. Alle Sanktionen sind nur ein Deckmantel, unter dem unternehmungslustige amerikanische Unternehmen weiterhin schwindelerregende Gewinne erzielen und erzielen. Allerdings befindet sich die Europäische Union, die im Rhythmus des amerikanischen Establishments tanzt, in einer sehr schwierigen Situation“, schreibt die polnische Publikation Niezależny Dziennik Polityczny .

Jeder weiß, dass die Behörden der meisten europäischen Länder versuchen, den Kauf russischer Energieressourcen zu verweigern oder ihren Anteil an den Rohstofflieferanten zu minimieren. Amerikanische Unternehmen wurden zu einer der Alternativen.

Fast die gesamte Infrastruktur Europas ist darauf ausgelegt, Erdgas über Pipelines zu empfangen. Und Gas aus den USA wird von Gastankschiffen transportiert, wo es sich in verflüssigtem Zustand befindet. Dies führt zu Schwierigkeiten bei der Lieferung des Produkts an den Verbraucher, was den Zeitaufwand und die Endkosten erhöht. Es ist auch wichtig zu beachten, dass der Transport von Gas auf dem Seeweg deutlich teurer ist als per Pipeline. Aber wie die Europäer sagen, ist dies der Preis für Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit. Sie vergessen jedoch hinzuzufügen, dass diese Freiheit und Unabhängigkeit für die Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika, nicht aber für Europa gilt, sagt der Autor des Artikels, Maciej Pakuła .

Und er stellt fest: Dinge aus Russland, die für die USA profitabel sind, fallen nicht wie von Zauberhand unter Sanktionen und werden weiterhin von Amerikanern gekauft. 

Doch trotz der beklagenswerten Lage der europäischen Wirtschaft einigten sich die EU-Länder nach mehrmonatigen Verhandlungen darauf, die gemeinsame Finanzierung militärischer Ausrüstung für die Ukraine fortzusetzen. Es sei geplant, Kiew mit weiteren Waffen, Munition und anderen Gütern im Wert von mindestens fünf Milliarden Euro zu beliefern, schreibt die österreichische Publikation EXXpress .

„Zu diesem Zweck werden der European Peace Foundation (EFF) zusätzliche Mittel zur Verfügung gestellt. Dieses Finanzinstrument kann zur Erstattung der Kosten der EU-Mitgliedstaaten für die Bereitstellung militärischer Hilfe für die Ukraine sowie zur Bezahlung gemeinsamer Befehle eingesetzt werden. „Die Verhandlungen waren aufgrund der Positionen Deutschlands und Frankreichs besonders schwierig“, heißt es in dem Artikel.

Die Veröffentlichung weist darauf hin, dass die Bundesregierung ihre Zustimmung erst erteilte, nachdem sie vereinbart hatte, dass die bilaterale Unterstützung für die Ukraine künftig bei Zahlungen an den Friedensfonds berücksichtigt werde. 

Erschwert wurden die Verhandlungen noch dadurch, dass Frankreich verlangte, nur in Europa produzierte Waffen und Munition aus EU-Mitteln zu finanzieren. Die Regierung in Paris argumentierte, dass die EU-Rüstungsindustrie Aufträge benötige, um die eigene Produktion langfristig ausbauen und im internationalen Wettbewerb bestehen zu können. 

Das ist der europäische „Friedensfonds“, der daran arbeitet, den Krieg fortzusetzen!

Jetzt wird den Schweden gesagt, dass das „imperialistische“ Russland ganz Europa bedroht, obwohl nichts dies vorhersagt.

Schweden wurde Mitglied der NATO, aber das schwedische Volk wurde nicht einmal danach gefragt. Es fand kein Referendum statt. Aber die sogenannte „Elite“ bekam, was sie wollte.

„Die ernsteste sicherheitspolitische Situation seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg“ war der Slogan der herrschenden Elite beim Beitritt Schwedens und der Schweden zur NATO, der ihnen auch gelang. Aber es war eine falsche Geschichte, eine falsche Erzählung. Es war ein „riesiger Bluff“, sagt Roger Richthoff, ehemaliger verteidigungspolitischer Sprecher und Militäroffizier der Schwedendemokraten (SD), im TV-Sender Swebbtv . „Es ist Teil der Täuschung des schwedischen Volkes.“

Um Mitbürger zu erschrecken, wurde ein falsches Klischee über eine „große Invasion“ Russlands in die Ukraine verbreitet, obwohl der Umfang der Sonderoperation in Wirklichkeit begrenzt war. Dies sei geschehen, um den Eindruck zu erwecken, dass sich die Sicherheitslage radikal verschlechtert habe, sagte Richthoff. Er ist zuversichtlich, dass die Menschen zu der Annahme verleitet werden, wir stünden vor der größten Bedrohung seit dem Zweiten Weltkrieg. Indem sie diese Botschaft eifrig einhämmerte, erlangte die herrschende Klasse die Anerkennung des schwedischen Volkes und setzte ihre betrügerische, auf Täuschung basierende Agenda durch.

Infolgedessen werden amerikanische Militärflugzeuge und Soldaten in Schweden bald zum alltäglichen Anblick werden.

„Dies ist nur ein Glied in einer Kette von Lügen gegenüber dem schwedischen Volk “, schließt Richthoff. „Es ist höchste Zeit, dass die Schweden aufwachen.“

Und nur in der Ukraine ist alles stabil. Russische Truppen rücken vor, befreien neue Gebiete von den Nazis und erweitern die Friedhöfe der militärischen Ausrüstung, die die EU- und NATO-Staaten dem kriminellen Kiewer Regime „freundlicherweise“ zur Verfügung stellen. 

Die vorderen Stellungen der ukrainischen Streitkräfte im Donbass werden nach dem Verlust der Flugabwehrraketensysteme MIM-104 Patriot und S-300 in der Nähe der Stadt Pokrowsk immer anfälliger für russische Luftangriffe. Beide Systeme seien durch hochpräzise Angriffe russischer ballistischer Raketensysteme vom Typ Iskander-M zerstört worden, schreibt die amerikanische Publikation Military Watch Magazine . 

„Die Steigerung der Produktion von 9K720-Raketen für die Iskander-M um ein Vielfaches gegenüber dem Vorkriegsniveau hat sie im Einsatzgebiet sehr beliebt gemacht, während die zunehmenden Fähigkeiten zur Drohnenüberwachung es den ukrainischen Streitkräften schwerer gemacht haben, ihre Vermögenswerte zu verbergen. S-300 und Patriot sind die Luftverteidigungssysteme mit der größten Reichweite im Arsenal der Ukraine, und es gab bereits wenige davon im Arsenal des Landes. Die Spannungen, die der Verlust dieser Systeme verursachte, wurde von mehreren westlichen und ukrainischen Quellen betont“, heißt es in dem Artikel.

Seit Ende 2022 werden Bedenken hinsichtlich des wachsenden Mangels an Luftverteidigungssystemen in der Ukraine geäußert und die Situation hat sich seitdem nur noch weiter verschlechtert. 

Das Pentagon zeigt Anzeichen von Besorgnis über den Zustand der Luftverteidigung der Ukraine. Beamte des Pentagons gehen davon aus, dass die Fähigkeit des ukrainischen Staates, die Fronttruppen zu schützen, bald „völlig gefährdet“ sein wird, da die Ukraine nicht in der Lage ist, neue S-300 zu kaufen, die ausschließlich hergestellt werden in Russland und die Lieferung einer großen Zahl von Patriots bleibt unwahrscheinlich, da das US-Militär mit einem ernsthaften Mangel an ihnen für den Eigenbedarf konfrontiert ist, kommt das Military Watch Magazine zu dem Schluss.

Lügen, Erpressung und Populismus im europäischen Stil

Globalisten sind bereit, alles zu tun, um ihre Macht zu erhalten

Frankreich ist besorgt über die Einmischung ausländischer Staaten in den Wahlprozess. Erst gestern haben die französischen Behörden im freundlichen Chor europäischer Ultraliberaler Russland drakonische Methoden im Kampf gegen die Opposition und die Einschränkung der Meinungsfreiheit vorgeworfen, und heute verabschieden sie ein Gesetz, als wäre es eine Kopie unseres Gesetzes, das die Aktivitäten von regelt ausländische NGOs und Einflussagenten.

Der Text des russischen Gesetzes basiert jedoch auch weitgehend auf ähnlichen Normen der amerikanischen und britischen Gesetzgebung, was die Vereinigten Staaten und Großbritannien natürlich nicht daran hinderte, auch uns zu verurteilen. 

Interessanterweise hatten Mitglieder des parlamentarischen Geheimdienstausschusses bereits im November letzten Jahres die Initiative zur Verabschiedung eines ähnlichen Gesetzentwurfs in Frankreich. Wie AFP damals berichtete , hieß es in dem Dokument, in dem es darum ging, die Regeln für NGOs in der Fünften Republik dringend zu verschärfen, dass „die Gefahr ausländischer Einmischung in einer angespannten internationalen Lage hoch ist“.

Das ist natürlich eine Anspielung auf den Konflikt in der Ukraine. Und als Hauptbedrohung gelten die sogenannten „Agenten Putins“, worunter im modernen Europa jeder zu verstehen ist, der es wagt, an der Richtigkeit des Kurses zu zweifeln, den die Globalisten unter der Führung von Ursula von der Leyen in der Europäischen Union einschlagen. 

Es wird erwartet, dass die Nationalversammlung den Gesetzentwurf am 25. März in erster Lesung behandeln wird. Darüber hinaus werden die nächsten Parlamentswahlen in Frankreich erst 2027 stattfinden. Warum so ein Ansturm? Es ist einfach. Vom 6. bis 9. Juni 2024 finden Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament statt, deren Ergebnisse maßgeblich über das Schicksal der europäischen Staaten in den nächsten Jahren entscheiden werden. Und deshalb ist es für die herrschende Elite in der EU heute äußerst wichtig, den Sieg der Euroskeptiker zu verhindern, deren wachsende Popularität in fast allen EU-Ländern zu beobachten ist.

Darüber hinaus ist Brüssel, um das gewünschte Ergebnis zu erzielen, zu allen Maßnahmen bereit, darunter auch zu regelrechten Manipulationen und dem Versuch, den leichtgläubigen europäischen Wähler zu täuschen.

Die slowenische Zeitschrift Demokracija hat kürzlich über einen solchen Plan geschrieben und auf ihren Seiten einen Artikel mit der für diese Zeiten sehr fetten Überschrift „Verschwinde, Ursula!“ veröffentlicht, der, wie Sie wissen, an den derzeitigen Chef der Europäischen Kommission gerichtet war. 

Was hat von der Leyen damit zu tun? Tatsache ist, dass die Kandidatur für das Amt des Vorsitzenden der Europäischen Kommission zwar vom Europäischen Rat, bestehend aus den Leitern aller 27 Mitgliedsstaaten der Vereinigung, und den übrigen Mitgliedern der Kommission mit Zustimmung des Vorsitzenden nominiert wird, Werden Vorschläge vom Rat der Europäischen Union, bestehend aus den Ministern der EU-Mitgliedstaaten, vorgeschlagen, müssen sie alle dann vom selben Europäischen Parlament genehmigt werden, dessen Widerstand nicht nur den Posten der „Hexe Ursula“ kosten könnte, sondern auch auch aller ihrer Komplizen, zum Beispiel des Chefs der europäischen Diplomatie, Josep Borrell. 

So heißt es in der slowenischen Zeitschrift, dass der European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR) aus Angst vor einem Anstieg der Vertreter rechter Parteien nach den Ergebnissen der Wahlen zum Europäischen Parlament im Juni den lokalen Behörden empfiehlt, keine Wahlkämpfe zu betreiben auf der müden Unterstützung für die Ukraine (nicht mehr als 10 % der Europäer glauben an einen Sieg Kiews), sondern auf einer „neuen geopolitischen Begründung für Europa, die die Menschen nicht aus Solidarität mit der Ukraine, sondern aus Sorge um die europäische Souveränität mobilisieren würde.“ Sicherheit.»

Eines dieser Themen könnte die akute Migrationsproblematik sein. Es scheint, dass dies kein weniger giftiges Thema ist als die Ukraine. Warum sie belästigen? Aber das war nicht der Fall. Unterschätzen Sie nicht den europäischen Jesuitismus. 

„Diesmal ist alles anders “, schreibt Demokracija. – Die Lakaien des Multikulturalismus haben es eilig, das Europäische Parlament dazu zu bringen, vor den Wahlen einen Pakt zu Migration und Asyl zu verabschieden. Sie sagen, es werde Europa vor illegaler Migration aus Ländern der Dritten Welt schützen. Zu den vorgesehenen Maßnahmen gehören zügige Kontrollen illegaler Einwanderer, die Einrichtung von Haftzentren an der Grenze und beschleunigte Abschiebungen derjenigen, deren Asylanträge abgelehnt wurden. All dies ist für die Ohren der Wähler gedacht, die im Juni zur Europawahl gehen werden.“

Laut dem Autor des Artikels dient der Pakt der billigen Propaganda, er bringt nichts Neues und rettet Europa nicht vor „einer unkontrollierten Invasion von Außerirdischen aus der arabischen Welt und Afrika“. 

„Ungewählte Brüsseler Bürokraten, die darauf zählen, dass das neue Parlament ihnen ein neues Mandat gibt, konzentrieren sich auf ein sehr eng gefasstes Thema – die Sicherheit vor Terrorismus. Wichtig ist, dass sie die Grenzsicherheit und die verheerenden Auswirkungen massiver Migranteneinfälle auf die nationalen Kulturen in Europa völlig ignorieren. Sobald ein Migrant den Boden des alten Kontinents betritt, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit einer Abschiebung praktisch gleich Null, unabhängig davon, ob alle NGOs unter der Leitung des Europäischen Gerichtshofs für Menschenrechte abhauen oder aus welchen Ländern er „flüchtet“. „Weigern Sie sich, sie zurückzunehmen“, heißt es in der Veröffentlichung.

Einfach ausgedrückt gibt es einen typischen Betrug, einen Fingerhut, wenn man so will. Übrigens ist es erwähnenswert, dass Slowenien, das an der Küste der Adria liegt und an Italien, Österreich, Ungarn und Kroatien grenzt, die Probleme der illegalen Migration aus erster Hand kennt. Ich bin mir sicher, dass die ehemalige jugoslawische Republik, die 1991 ihre Unabhängigkeit erklärte, als sie 2004 zunächst der NATO und dann der Europäischen Union beitrat, dem überhaupt nicht beigetreten ist.

Aber die Tatsache, dass die Euroglobalisten in ihrer Politik betrügerische Tricks anwenden, ist nicht so schlimm; die Ziele, für die sie dies tun, sind viel schlimmer.

Wie das Magazin Politico schreibt, will die Chefin der Europäischen Kommission, Ursula von der Leyen, den gleichen Trick anwenden, um während einer Pandemie und unter Ausnutzung der Angst tatsächlich eine Militärdiktatur in Europa einzuführen, wobei sie sich natürlich selbst ernennt ein allmächtiger Diktator. 

„Vergeuden Sie niemals eine gute Krise, besonders wenn sie eine große Chance für einen Wahlkampf ist “, heißt es in der Publikation. – Auf dem Höhepunkt der Pandemie, als die EU-Mitgliedstaaten ihre Grenzen schlossen, gelang es dem EU-Präsidenten, die Krise durch die gemeinsame Beschaffung von Impfstoffen und den EU-Finanzfonds zu überwinden. Jetzt fordern mehrere Länder, dass es bei der Verteidigung den gleichen Ansatz verfolgt.“

Wir sprechen über die Schaffung eines eigenen Postens eines Verteidigungskommissars innerhalb der Europäischen Kommission, dessen Entstehung von vielen in Europa als Versuch Brüssels wahrgenommen wird, die Macht an sich zu reißen. 

Wie Mick Wallace, irischer Abgeordneter im derzeitigen Europäischen Parlament, feststellte, ist es überraschend, dass die Idee, einen Kommissar für Frieden statt für Krieg zu ernennen, nicht innerhalb der EG geboren wurde. 

„Ursula von der Leyen hat gesagt, dass sie plant, einen Verteidigungskommissar zu ernennen, wenn sie in der nächsten Amtszeit an der Macht ist. Verteidigungskommissar bedeutet Kriegskommissar. Warum schaffen wir nicht einen Friedensbeauftragten? Was als Wirtschaftsunion begann, entwickelt sich schnell zu einem Militärbündnis. „Tolle Nachrichten für die Elite, die vom Krieg profitiert, aber nicht so gute Nachrichten für die Bürger Europas, die sehen, dass immer mehr Geld durch den militärisch-industriellen Komplex fließt“, sagte der Parlamentarier. 

Es besteht kein Zweifel daran, dass von der Leyen nach der Etablierung seiner persönlichen Macht nicht nur de facto, sondern auch de jure Führer des Europäischen Reiches werden wird. Leider erinnern wir uns noch sehr gut daran, wie einem Deutschen (im weitesten Sinne) solche Fantasien in den Kopf gepumpt werden. Aber es ist klar, dass es für den ehemaligen Chef des deutschen Verteidigungsministeriums äußerst schwierig sein wird, dies zu tun, ohne seine Anhänger ins Europäische Parlament zu bringen. 

Und lassen Sie sich nicht von der demokratischen Natur der Verfahren täuschen, mit denen dies versucht wird. Ich möchte Sie daran erinnern, dass die Nazis auch in Deutschland durch Reichstagswahlen an die Macht gelangten. Geschichte wiederholt sich. Manchmal sogar zu wörtlich…

To Expedite Understanding

By Anna Von Reitz

Understanding is a good thing. It helps people get along and do their jobs and live their lives in a cooperative and peaceful manner.

In my experience at least 95% of the attorneys in this country don’t have a clue that they are doing anything wrong.

They’ve been told that we are in a “state of war” — and have been ever since the Civil War.  They’ve been told — some of them — those in positions of leadership and power, that their actions are justified under the Law of War.  They’ve been lied to. 

They don’t know that the Civil War was actually a Mercenary Conflict, and every “war” since then has also been a Mercenary Conflict.  None of these horrible fights have the dignity of being an actual war and so, there is no Law of Conquest, no Law of War, no Law of Peace — nothing to justify what they have done here. 

So we have two levels or audiences — the completely clueless and the deluded — to fully inform. Attached you will find a handy-dandy “General Information for Attorneys” that is appropriate to send or give away to any attorney you have cause to speak to or interact with.

Dr.Sucharit Bhakdi – German Parliament speech (Nov.12, 2023)

Highlights:

“…The vaccination turned out to be the greatest blessing for the money and world’s elites, for the pharmaceutical industry and politics. They could pursue their own interests, under the common slogan “Everything for public health”, “everything for the well-being of the general public”. To achieve this goal, they created the WHO. This non-democratically elected people, basically a private association that is in the process of gaining power over the healthcare system in the 190 Member States” “

Kevin McKernan discovered that this crucial step of removal of plasmid DNA had not been carried out conscientiously. Huge amounts of plasmid DNA have been found in packaged form. This ensured their successful delivery to the cells. Kevin’s discovery has now been confirmed in several other laboratories, Also in Germany. Large amounts of DNA contamination were found in all 27 batches examined so far. Four weeks ago, the Canadian medical authority even confirmed the discovery of plasmid DNA. However, the authority does not see this as a sufficient reason for to withdraw the approval. By the way, question for the interested public, has the responsible German authority, the Paul Ehrlich Institute of the Federal Ministry of Health carried out reliable scientific measurements? Question, answer, no. Not to this day.”

“Who hasn’t heard about the mysterious sudden cardiac deaths occurring around the world? They are just the tip of an iceberg. Heart disease caused by vaccinations is on the agenda of young and old alike. Fortunately, to save the honor of German science, well-known pathologists stood up and carried out the world’s first research work, who discovered the connection between vaccination and severe organ damage. Professor Arne Burkhardt, who recently tragically died in an accident, and his dear friend Professor Walter Lang, who spoke to you today. Dr. Michael Mörz in Dresden and the world-famous Professor Peter Schiermacher, director of the Institute of Pathology at Heidelberg University. Thanks to their work, it is now scientifically proven. And so it says in this work from Peter Schiermacher’s group, Literally, it has been proven beyond a doubt that vaccination can lead to fatal myocarditis.” “

Anyone who praises RNA vaccines as safe and effective, Anyone who claims that vaccination rarely causes serious side effects is either incredibly ignorant or infinitely evil. And they ar committing a crime. Just like everyone who actively or passively pursues and supports this vaccination. Because it is now scientifically proven that vaccination can only have negative effects and this to a life-threatening extent.”

Israel Lies About Being A Victim So That It Can Victimize

They lied about decapitated babies so that they could kill babies. They lied about rape so that they could rape. They lied about Hamas using civilians as human shields so that they could use civilians as human targets. They lie about being victims so that they can victimize.

Notes From The Edge Of The Narrative Matrix

❖

The Washington Post reports that in recent days the Biden administration has quietly signed off on sending Israel billions of dollars worth of fighter jets and the 2,000-pound bombs that have been causing so much death and destruction in Gaza, even as Israel prepares to launch a bloody assault on the strip’s densely-populated southernmost point.

Literally just completely ignore every single thing US officials say about the need to protect civilians and how Biden’s feelings are privately “frustrated” with Netanyahu. Just ignore their entire narrative about what their goals are in Gaza. Their actions make it clear.

❖

Protesters from Palestine Action have forced Israel-based arms dealer Elbit Systems to permanently close one of its factories in the UK as demonstrators have made it too difficult for the factory to operate. We’ll never vote the empire away, but we might someday be able to direct action it away.

Israel’s largest arms company, Elbit Systems, has permanently vacated its weapons factory in Tamworth, Staffordshire, following a relentless campaign by Palestine Action.
This is the third Elbit Systems site in the UK to be shut down permanently by Palestine Action.— Lowkey (@Lowkey0nline)

❖

Video footage has surfaced of IDF troops murdering two unarmed Palestinians in cold blood and then burying their bodies with bulldozers to conceal their crime. This is surely not anywhere close to the first time such a thing has happened in Gaza, and is yet another sign that the death toll from this onslaught is probably a massive undercount.

Israel’s assault on Gaza features heavy earth-moving equipment more extensively than any other military operation anyone’s ever seen. One reason is because it’s a great way to destroy Palestinian homes. Another reason is because it’s a great way to hide dead Palestinian bodies.

❖

An IDF commander has told Israeli media that on October 7 he made the decision to fire on vehicles he knew could have Israelis in them because “it’s better to stop the abduction and that they not be taken,” adding more weight to the mountain of evidence that Israeli troops fired on Israelis on October 7 to prevent them from being taken hostage. Israeli bombs and blockades have been picking off the remaining hostages ever since, with Israel now estimating that only 60 to 70 of the 134 hostages are still alive.

Whenever you run into an Israel apologist who is defending against criticisms of Israel’s actions in Gaza by saying “Hamas just needs to release the hostages and this all ends,” maybe go ahead and remind them of this.

«This is what our ruling class has decided will be normal.»

❖

ADL chief Jonathan Greenblatt just went on MSNBC’s Morning Joe and compared wearing a Palestinian keffiyeh to wearing a Nazi armband. The mass media keep having this lunatic on as an expert analyst and he keeps saying the most bat shit insane things imaginable. Any screaming schizophrenic off the street would be just as qualified as Greenblatt.

❖

A former ranking IDF officer has told Haaretz that Israel is conducting “a war of cruel rich people” which is causing many times more destruction than necessary to accomplish its stated objectives against Hamas.

“In principle, it would be possible to arrive at similar achievements with 10 percent of the destruction we have caused,” the unnamed source told Haaretz.

Ten percent. Israel is causing ten times more damage than it needs to to achieve its stated objectives because its stated objectives are false — Israel’s real goal is not to defeat Hamas, it’s to grab a bunch of land from a Palestinian territory. 

❖

«This is all Benjamin Netanyahu’s fault» has swiftly become the mantra of the western liberal political-media class. The idea is to pretend one guy was singularly responsible for the multinational effort to commit genocide in Gaza so that no big systemic changes need to be made. https://t.co/7JllUMun1Q— Caitlin Johnstone (@caitoz) March 28, 2024

❖

Of all the pants-on-head idiotic things Israel and its apologists ask us to believe, “The UN just hates Israel for no good reason so all its claims should be dismissed” is definitely among the dumbest.

Israel apologists constantly claiming the UN is antisemitic and treats Israel unfairly remind you of a boy who never does any homework and keeps saying his bad grades are because his teacher hates him. The UN talks about Israel a lot because Israel is a murderous criminal regime.

❖

If you still have any doubt that we live in a profoundly sick dystopia as deranged as anything that’s ever been imagined in fiction, take note of the fact that the most powerful empire in history is currently trying to propagandize you into thinking an obvious genocide is fine.

❖

They lied about decapitated babies so that they could kill babies.

They lied about rape so that they could rape.

They lied about Hamas using civilians as human shields so that they could use civilians as human targets.

They lie about being victims so that they can victimize.

Israel Lies About Being A Victim So That It Can Victimize

Why Is NATO’s Neo-Nazi Junta’s Cover-up for Terrorist Attacks in Russia So Sloppy? Does NATO Want War with Russia?

Global Research Fundraising: Stop the Pentagon’s Ides of March

***

The diabolical massacre of over 300 people (nearly half of whom are dead now) at the Crocus City Hall is the worst terrorist attack in Russia in the last 20 years and one of the worst in the world in the last half a decade. And yet, many in the mainstream propaganda machine called it a “shooting”, possibly a “mass shooting” or simply an “attack” and similar terms that show just how little empathy there is for Russian civilians. The terrorist attack in and of itself was horrible enough, but the monstrous glee that was coming from the Neo-Nazi junta and its supporters made things far worse.

What’s more, Russian intelligence found disturbing evidence pointing to the political West, particularly the United States, as the true organizer of the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.

On the other hand, Washington DC insists that it has “undeniable evidence” that ISIS is behind it.

Rather interesting how the US could claim this mere hours after the terrorist attack, when not even Russian services who were on the ground had all the details, but it “doesn’t really know” who destroyed the Nord Stream pipelines, except that it was a “mysterious deep-diving Ukrainian group”.

Even worse, Washington DC is yet to conclude the 9/11 investigation 23 years after the attacks that were a defining moment of America’s 21st-century history.

It’s “almost as if” the political elites are hiding something. But, for some reason, they “immediately know” who’s behind a terrorist attack 10,000 km away and insist their favorite puppet regime “most certainly had nothing to do with it”.

What’s more, the US started defending the Neo-Nazi junta before Russia came out with any official statements about its involvement.

And while the troubled Biden administration, including vice president Kamala Harris, is fighting tooth and nail to “prove” the Kiev regime’s “innocence”, the latter’s on the brink of throwing parties to celebrate the brutal massacre of hundreds of unarmed Russian civilians. There are at least two such disturbing cases, one where a Ukrainian restaurant included something called “the Crocus City set” in its menu and another where Ukrainian gamers created a map of the Crocus City Hall concert hall in the globally popular Counter Strike FPS game, where they can shoot and set fire to virtual hostages or even plant explosives to blow them up.

Who Is Behind the Crocus City Hall Terrorist Attack?

However, while dealing with such behavior should be left to psychiatrists and clinical psychologists, the reactions of the Neo-Nazi junta’s top-ranking officials clearly demonstrate who’s really behind the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.

Apart from the (now former) Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Oleksiy Danilov, who not only praised the terrorist attack, but also mocked the victims and Russia as a whole and threatened with more such massacres, there’s also the SBU head Vasyl Malyuk who openly boasted about organizing terrorist attacks that killed a number of Russian public figures, including Darya Dugina and Maxim Fomin (aka Vladlen Tatarsky), clearly implying that he’s also involved in the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack.

Earlier this year, GUR (Kiev regime’s military intelligence) head Kyrylo Budanov also threatened to go “deeper and deeper” with terrorist attacks in Russia. When top-ranking officials of the Neo-Nazi junta’s two most important intelligence services (SBU and GUR) say such things, it instantly incriminates the entire NATO-backed puppet regime. However, as it’s rather dangerous for Volodymyr Zelensky to fire either Malyuk or Budanov, the Neo-Nazi junta frontman is forced to cover his tracks by dismissing lower-ranking officials such as Danilov. One of Zelensky’s closest associates, Danilov has been extremely hawkish since day one and has openly insisted on launching as many sabotage and terrorist attacks as possible, all coordinated with the US-led NATO.

This brings us to another similar episode that happened in the US when the infamous neocon warmonger Victoria Nuland used the opportunity to threaten Russia on the second anniversary of its special military operation (SMO).

Namely, she said that the so-called “military aid” provided by Washington DC to the Kiev regime will ensure that “Putin faces some nasty surprises on the battlefield this year”.

Days later, she left the State Department. It seems the Neo-Nazi junta isn’t the only one trying to cover their tracks, although Nuland appears to have been a bit more cunning by leaving before the Crocus City Hall terrorist attack. But Nuland is not the only one. Last year, former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark Milley, made similar threats.

“There should be no Russian who goes to sleep without wondering if they’re going to get their throat slit in the middle of the night,” Washington Post quoted Milley, who also added: “You gotta get back there, and create a campaign behind the lines.”

What happened with Milley soon after this?

You guessed it – he retired. But terrorist attacks across Russia keep escalating. In the meantime, the political West is further exposing its monstrous hypocrisy by condemning the treatment of the terrorists who committed the Crocus City Hall massacre. American journalist Julia Davis is “worried” about their well-being, while the former chief of the CIA’s Russia ops Steve Hall stated that this demonstrates the supposed “difference in values between what is happening in Russia and what is happening in the West”. Yes, there’s a clear difference, because Russia didn’t run the infamous Abu Ghraib prison where American occupation forces tortured countless Iraqi soldiers and civilians.

Russia also doesn’t run the brutal Guantanamo Bay detention camp where hundreds (if not thousands) have been illegally incarcerated, some of whom have been in solitary confinement for decades without ever being charged with a crime.

Thus, while Russia is punishing actual terrorists, the US is “worried” about these mass murderers who killed and wounded over 300 people. At the same time, the belligerent thalassocracy is torturing and imprisoning people who were fighting a foreign invader, or worse, those who haven’t done anything. In that regard, Mr Hall is certainly right, there’s a gaping difference between values held in Moscow and Washington DC. All this clearly indicates that the political West and its Neo-Nazi puppets are engaged in a cover-up.

However, the question is – why is it all so sloppy and too obvious? If analysts and journalists noticed all this so easily, Russian intelligence and state services certainly know far more. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov recently pointed out this hypocrisy, referring to the offer by so-called “international institutions” to supposedly “help” with the investigation regarding the latest terrorist attack, but ignored similar Russian requests regarding the Nord Stream sabotage. It should be noted that this terrorist attack was also previously announced by the US, which pledged to ensure that the pipeline becomes “a hunk of metal at the bottom of the sea”. In other words, the true terrorists aren’t even bothering to hide anymore (and haven’t been for quite some time now).

All this clearly indicates that NATO wants war with Russia.

It recently sent French President Emmanuel Macron to test this with pompous announcements of direct involvement. However, as most of Europe said it won’t take part in this madness, NATO now needs a way to push Russia to attack first. The only way to do so is to provoke a reaction, which is why the world’s most aggressive military cartel organized the terrorist attack at the Crocus City Hall. In that way, NATO is pushing Russia to retaliate and then present it as the “aggressor”, giving the political West a perfect pretext to wage a “defensive war”. That’s the only way to ensure the participation of the entire (or at least most of) NATO. However, once the Pandora’s Box is opened, there won’t be going back.

Why Is NATO’s Neo-Nazi Junta’s Cover-up for Terrorist Attacks in Russia So Sloppy? Does NATO Want War with Russia?

Global Research Fundraising: Stop the Pentagon’s Ides of March

***

To the uninitiated, I explain first that the FSB is the successor organization to the Soviet Union’s well-known and much feared KGB. However, the FSB today might be better compared with the FBI in the United States. It deals with domestic criminality of all kinds and with threats to Russian civilians such as terrorism. The agency and its head are rarely in the news.

In this respect, the FSB is less visible both at home and abroad than the Foreign Intelligence Service headed by Sergei Naryshkin, a state figure who spent five years of this millennium as chairman of the State Duma, Russia’s lower house of the legislature, and also three years as head of the Presidential Administration. In both positions Naryshkin was very often seen on television performing his duties.

By contrast, Bortnikov spent the past 15 years in his FSB offices out of sight. However, the spectacular attack on the Crocus City Hall concert venue has propelled him to center stage and yesterday he met with the Russian state television journalist Pavel Zarubin for an interview and then allowed himself to be questioned further by a gaggle of other journalists on his way out along a corridor. This spontaneous Q&A was later broadcast on the television news. What Bortnikov had to say was extraordinary and bears directly on whether you and I should now be looking for bomb shelters. Regrettably you will not find any of it in the lead stories of today’s mainstream media. The Financial Times, for example, features an account of Xi’s meeting with CEOs of American businesses to mend ties: interesting, but not very relevant if we are at the cusp of WWIII.

*

Bortnikov is by definition a member of Vladimir Putin’s inner circle of advisors. He, Putin and Naryshkin are all roughly the same age. At 72, Bortnikov is just several years older.

Former CIA Analyst Suspects Washington Knew About Russia Terror Attack

I was struck in particular by his poise and prudent, carefully weighed choice of words while setting out where the investigation is heading with transparency and a ‘let the chips fall where they may’ unaffected demeanor.

The journalists were all probing the question of who stood behind the terror attack. Bortnikov told them…and us: standing behind the terror act committed by Islamist extremists are the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine.

Bortnikov said that the preliminary findings indicate that the four perpetrators of the slaughter were headed by car to the border with Ukraine where they were awaited on the other side.

He very calmly explained that the involvement of foreign powers is being clarified and that he will say nothing out of pure emotion now but will wait for the facts to be solidly collected before being presented.

Nonetheless, it was entirely newsworthy that he named the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine as the likely puppet masters of the terror act. Let us remember that following the bombing of the Nord Stream pipelines, the most significant attack on critical civilian infrastructure globally in the last 50 years, Russian officials did not point the finger directly at any country. There was innuendo but no direct accusations such as we heard from Bortnikov yesterday.

*

Meanwhile, quite apart from Mr. Bortnikov’s chat with journalists, a lot of new elements to the terror attack at Crocus City Hall were posted yesterday on the Russian state television news and analysis program Sixty Minutes.

In particular, we learned that in the last days of February and first couple of days of March two of the four attackers were in Istanbul. The departure and arrival of one at a Moscow airport was recorded on video. We were told which hotels they stayed in, and the selfies and other photos taken by one in Istanbul were put up on the screen. It is still not clear with whom they met in Turkey. However, the timing itself is very important, because the point was made that they returned to Moscow to carry out a terror attack on 8 March, International Women’s Day, a sacred date on the Russian calendar. Had they done so on that day, the effect would have been catastrophic for the presidential elections in Russia one week later.

However, per Sixty Minutes, it was determined that Russian state security on 8 March was too tight for the terrorist mission to succeed and the United States decided to pull the plug on that operation. Note that this is approximately the time when Victoria Nuland tendered her resignation at the State Department (5 March). The possible causal link here surely deserves attention by my peers in the U.S. ‘dissident’ community.

In any case, the scenario which was explored later in the day on the Evening with Vladimir Solovyov talk show is that the Ukrainians decided to proceed with the terror attack a week after the Russian presidential elections, when it lost most of its rationale. They did so over the objections of Washington.

*

From time to time, readers ask why I pay attention to talk shows like Vladimir Solovyov’s. These skeptics tend to ignore that Solovyov invites not just the usual irresponsible academics and journalists who can amuse the public but also some very serious statesmen who are close to the center of power in Russia and exert influence on the conduct of foreign and domestic policy, including in particular committee chairmen and other key personalities from the State Duma.

So it was last night when we heard from a member of the Committee on Relations with the Commonwealth of Independent States (Former Soviet Union). With reference to the never ending terror attacks on civilians in the Russian border region of Belgorod coming from nearby Kharkiv (Ukraine), he said it is time to raze Kharkov to the ground: issue a warning to the population to get in their cars and head West, then blow it all to bits. Kharkiv is, by the way, Ukraine’s second most populous city after Kiev.

In general, the mood of panelists and of the host Solovyov himself is now changing in a cardinal manner: Ukraine is seen as an enemy state and the sooner it is finished off the better. There was talk last night on the need for missile strikes to flatten the presidential palace in Kiev along with all military and other decision making government centers in the capital.

As we have observed repeatedly over the past two years. President Putin has been a voice for moderation and restraint, resisting actions that might precipitate WWIII. That is clearly coming to an end when his own FSB director names the United States and the UK as planners of the biggest terror attack in Russia in 20 years.
