Leserbriefe zu „Sie treiben die Eskalation auf die Spitze“ und „Raketen auf Russland: Abgewählte US-Regierung setzt noch schnell die Welt in Brand“

25. November 2024Ein Artikel von: Redaktion

In diesem Kommentar diskutiert Marcus Klöckner über den möglichen Einsatz von Langstreckenraketen des Westens durch die Ukraine für Angriffe in Russland. Vor unseren Augen vollziehe sich eine 2. Kuba-Krise. Nur dieses Mal sehe es danach aus, dass nicht die Lösung der Konfliktsituation gewollt sei, sondern die Eskalation. Tobias Riegel hatte zuvor in diesem Artikel den Umstand kommentiert, dass dennoch eine „parteiübergreifende Kriegspartei“ in Deutschland begeistert sei und mit Taurus-Raketen nachziehen wolle. Wir danken für die interessanten E-Mails. Christian Reimann hat die nun folgende Leserbrief-Auswahl für Sie zusammengestellt.

Zu Raketen auf Russland: Abgewählte US-Regierung setzt noch schnell die Welt in Brand

1. Leserbrief

Sehr geehrter Herr Riegel,

leider haben Sie vollkommen recht, dass die parteiübergreifende Kriegspartei jeden Funken Verstand verloren hat und mit Hurra in den 3. Weltkrieg marschieren möchte. Und erschreckender Weise folgt ein nicht geringer Teil der deutschen Bevölkerung diesem Irrsinn. Die kriegsbegeisterten Kommentare von Kollegen und Bekannten sind eine wahre Katastrophe, ich gelte für viele inzwischen nur noch als Putin-Versteher, Lumpen-Pazifist oder vaterlandsloser Geselle. Noch schlimmer ist das Forum in der grünen Haus-Postille “Die Zeit”. Hier fühlt man sich an die dunkelsten Zeiten der deutschen Geschichte erinnert. Wie viele Deutsche würden wohl heute in Begeisterung ausbrechen, wenn ein Habeck, ein Merz, eine Baerbock, oder eine Strack-Zimmernann ein “wollt Ihr den totalen Krieg?” einfordert?

Auch wenn es in der heutigen Zeit beruflich, privat und im Hinblick auf den “Verfassungsschutz” immer mehr zum Risiko wird, eine solche Meinung öffentlich zu äußern, bitte ich ausdrücklich darum meine Namen vollständig zu veröffentlichen. Denn wer weiß, wie lange dies noch möglich ist.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Stefan Gigga

Liebe Nachdenkseiten,

die USA als diejenigen, die den Ukraine-Konflikt mit den Vorgängen um die Maidan-Demos angezettelt haben, zünden jetzt noch den Nachbrenner. Wenn unsere Regierung sich noch zum Nachahmen animiert fühlt haben wir die Arschkarte. Selbst wenn wir (hoffentlich!!!!) nicht alle in einem großen Krieg versinken, bleibt als Resümee:

Die USA haben erreicht, was sie wollten.
Das, was sich nach dem Zerfall der Sowjetunion, der deutschen Wiedervereinigung und der Gründung der OSZE 1995 zunächst so positiv entwickelt hatte, ist zerschlagen.
Uns wird großzügig überlassen, die Schäden der ganzen Aktion zu bezahlen.

Danke USA, danke Bundesregierung! Ich liebe Euch gar nicht mehr und denke wehmütig an frühere Regierungen und insbesondere an Willy Brandt.

Liebe Nachdenkseiten, lieber Tobias Riegel,

vielen Dank für euren Artikel über die immer rücksichtsloseren und aggressiveren Kriegstreiber in den USA und in Deutschland.

Die Entscheidung Joe Bidens, der Ukraine den Einsatz weitreichender Waffen nach Russland zu erlauben ist ein weiteres Indiz dafür, dass die Wahl von Kamala Harris für die Welt möglicherweise schlimmere und tödlichere Folgen gehabt hätte als die Wahl von Trump. Ja, auch ich finde, die Präsidentschaftswahl in den USA war die zwischen Pest und Cholera. Aber vielleicht ist ja die Cholera Trump mit entsprechender Behandlung besser heilbar als die Pest der kriegsbereiten US Demokraten.

Leider wird gerade in Deutschland immer offener und schamloser für den Krieg gegen Russland geworben. Besonders bizarr war der Parteitag der (wir sind immer noch die Friedenspartei) Grünen, der in seiner Choreographie einem verlogenen Erweckungsgottesdienst evangelikaler Sekten glich. Ja, es gab sogar einen Redebeitrag einer Delegierten (Sabine Hebbelmann), in der deutlich der Militarismus der Grünen kritisiert wurde. Bezeichnend war die Reaktion: Es gab keine. Es gab keinen Widerspruch, es gab keine Unmutsbekundung, es gab keine Widerrede. Der Beitrag von Frau Hebbelmann wurde vom Parteitag einfach totgeschwiegen. Dagegen haben fast alle anderen Redner, ob Realos oder „Linke“ vor einem hybriden Krieg gewarnt, den “Putin” angeblich gegen „uns“ führt. Und nur einen Tag nach dem grünen Parteitag fordern Robert Habeck und Annalena Baerbock wieder einmal die Lieferung von Taurus an die Ukraine. Die Grünen werden es sich dereinst als tödlichen Verdienst anrechnen dürfen, das linksliberale Spektrum in Deutschland mental für den dritten Weltkrieg bereit gemacht zu haben.

Die Fraktion der Militaristen und Kriegstreiber in Deutschland hat nun, nachdem die Grünen fast vollständig auf ihrer Seite sind, sich die SPD, insbesondere Olaf Scholz, vorgenommen. Obwohl eigentlich kein Zweifel daran besteht, dass die SPD und Scholz die nationalistische Ukraine über Gebühr und zum Schaden Deutschlands unterstützt, reicht das den Kriegstreibern nicht aus. Es ist ihnen ein Dorn im Auge, dass Scholz den Kontakt mit Präsident Putin nicht abbrechen lässt und dass er genauso wie Rolf Mützenich vor einer weiteren Eskalation des Krieges warnt. Besonders hassen sie Scholz für seine beharrliche Weigerung, Taurus Marschflugkörper an die Ukraine zu liefern. Deshalb wollen sie ihn weg haben, die Kriegstreiber bei den Medien, in der Rüstungsindustrie und in der Politik. Es vergeht deshalb kein Tag, an dem nicht laut die Frage gestellt wird, ob nicht Boris Pistorius, der Deutschland kriegstüchtig machen möchte, als Kanzlerkandidat der SPD nicht aussichtsreicher wäre. Dass es diesen Heuchlern nicht darum geht, die Wahlchancen der SPD zu verbessern, sondern aus der SPD eine noch verlässlichere Kriegspartei zu machen, muss man eigentlich nicht erwähnen.

Leider wächst der Einfluss der Kriegstreiber von Tag zu Tag. Es bleibt zu hoffen, dass Sahra Wagenknecht dem etwas entgegensetzen kann. Und so bizarr das anmuten mag, dass ein US Präsident Donald Trump den dritten Weltkrieg verhindert.

Nochmals danke für eure beharrliche Arbeit gegen Militarismus und Kriegstreiberei.

Mit freundlichem Gruß
Thomas Arnold

Sehr geehrter Herr Riegel,

diese – wie Sie zurecht schreiben – skandalöse Entscheidung von Biden zeigt einmal mehr, wie wenig dieser abgewählte Präsident selbst minimale demokratische Standards respektiert. Seine Politik ist abgewählt, er ist Präsident auf Abruf und hat versprochen, die Amtsgeschäfte ordnungsgemäß zu übergeben. Stattdessen trifft er eine gefährliche Entscheidung, die die ganze Welt in den Abgrund stürzen kann und konterkariert damit auch noch maßgeblich die erklärte Politik seines gewählten Nachfolgers.

Und unsere Claqueure aus den selbsternannten demokratischen Parteien sprühen voller Begeisterung und möchten mit der Tauruslieferung sozusagen den Anschluss beim Weltenbrand nicht verpassen. Erschreckend ist hier auch die völlige Abwesenheit von strategischem oder zumindest vorausschauendem Denken gepaart mit einer Arroganz, die selbst im Angesicht des Scheiterns aller bisherigen Initiativen nicht vom eigenen Überlegenheitsdünkel ablässt.

Wenn dann die vorhersehbare russische Reaktion eintritt, spielen sie wieder die empörten Mimosen und tun völlig überrascht, und schieben die Schuld weit von sich – das konnte ja keiner wissen. Aber nein, es ist vollkommen klar, was bei einer weiteren Eskalation dieses Krieges passiert. Seit der Westen die Friedensverhandlungen im März 2022 torpediert hat und auch in der Folge jede Friedensinitiative abgeblockt bzw. ignoriert wurde, stehen alle die Toten und all die Zerstörung auch in der westlichen Verantwortung.

Und jetzt wollen sie halt das ganz große Ding riskieren – der Putin wird schon kneifen vor den großen mächtigen Führern der “freien Welt” – obwohl doch jedem klar sein sollte, dass in der aktuellen Situation, wo der Westen nun faktisch mit Ansage dokumentiert, dass er keine Grenzen der Eskalation mehr kennt, ein weiteres Stillhalten für die Russen äußerst gefährlich ist – weil es ohne Konsequenzen vermutlich dann sogar zu einer direkten Truppenentsendung von NATO-Staaten kommen würde.

Biden und seine Vasallen agieren hier extrem bedenkenlos und wir werden da wohl nur mit sehr sehr viel Glück glimpflich davonkommen. Für die Ukrainer und Russen bedeutet das aber in jedem Fall weiteres Sterben.

Schon vor Jahren habe ich mal geschrieben, die Situation ähnelt dem Vorabend des ersten Weltkrieges – offenbar ist die Zeit für den nächsten, den dritten Weltkrieg gekommen, denn Vernunft und Verantwortung sind schon lange nicht mehr in der Politik vorhanden. Aus Sicht dieser Verrückten war wohl doch zu lange Frieden.

Gnade uns Gott.

5. Leserbrief

Ein Historiker bezeichnete einst den ersten Weltkrieg als den Schlusspunkt einer untergegangenen Epoche. Davor wäre nur der deutsch-französische Krieg zu nennen, der mit der Gründung des deutschen Nationalstaates begann und etwas mehr als vierzig Jahre Bestand hatte. Dann war das Kaiserreich und der Ständestaat in Dreck und Schlamm mit zehn Millionen Toten beerdigt worden. Der untaugliche Versuch die herrschende Klasse mit der Arbeiterklasse und dem reaktionären Bürgertum in einem demokratischen Staat zu vereinen, endete 1933 und führte direkt in die Revanche für 1914, welche kläglich als eine Nation von Verbrechern, die Völkermord als reine Verwaltungsmaßnahme ansah, endete und dann nach “der Stunde Null” in unsäglichem Selbstmitleid versank, um heimlich die Rache zu planen. Das neue Staatsgebilde wurde von den Besatzern aufgesetzt und “Demokratie” genannt. Im heutigen Sprachgebrauch nennt sich das “Parteiendemokratie” und ist unantastbar wie die Jungfrauenempfängnis Mariens. In Wirklichkeit war dem deutschen Musterbürger die Worte seiner Majestät, welcher nahezu mit Gewalt in Spa in den Zug Richtung Niederlande gesetzt wurde, noch in jedermanns Ohr:”Ich kennen keine Parteien mehr, ich kenne nur noch Deutsche.” In der Tat waren die Parteien nach 1945 entweder Sammelbecken für Altnazis und Kriegsverbrecher, wie CDU/CSU und FDP oder die Auffangstelle für Sozialdemokraten, die es noch nicht ganz fassen konnten, dass sie ihr Parteiabzeichen nicht mehr hinter dem Jacken- oder Mantelkragenaufschlag verbergen mussten – Schmuddelkinder waren sie in den Augen der Konservativen immer noch und deshalb beschlossen sie im Gegenzug die besseren Antikommunisten zu sein. Das alles ist Geschichte, aus den politischen Parteien wurden Klientelparteien, die den aus der Kaiserzeit konservierten Ständestaat heute noch am Leben erhalten. Die Arbeiterklasse mutierte zur Unterschicht, statt Proletariat nun Prekariat. Erwartungsgemäß unterscheiden sich die Klientelparteien nur wenig. Schließlich bedienen sie die Gesellschaftskaste der Wohlhabenden, der übersättigten Luxusspießer und öffentlichen Diensthabenden inclusive Beamtentum. Sie eint nur die Wagenburgmentalität alles abzuwehren, was als Schmälerung ihrer Pfründe gelten könnte und kennen in ihrer Aggressivität keine Grenze. Das ist Kriegstüchtigkeit. Die Bedrohung von außen wird nicht analysiert, sondern mit hysterischem Fanatismus, wobei diese Gesellschaftsschicht sich selbst als ohne Fehl und Tadel sieht, also ganz im Sinne des heute etwas verpönten nationalsozialistischen Herrenmenschen. Das ist das Ende einer Parteiendemokratie. Diese Schicht, welche aus psychiatrischer Sicht eigentlich in einer forensischen Abteilung gut aufgehoben wäre zum Schutze der Allgemeinheit, hat den neuen Feind, der schon altbekannt ist, für sich wieder entdeckt. Was also liegt näher, als den Feind endgültig im Sinne der Offenbarung des Johannes auf Patmos zu vernichten? Die deutsche Geschichte ist wieder an einem Endpunkt einer gesellschaftlichen Epoche angelangt. Logischerweise ist nun der nächste Krieg fällig. Das ist die Geisteslage in der BRD. Ist deshalb ein neuer Krieg nicht zu vermeiden?

Ein Philosoph aus Trier hat eine andere Theorie entwickelt und sie lässt sich bei dem Thema “Deutsche und ihre Kriege” einfach ausdrücken. “Wirtschaftlicher Ruin oder politische Unfähigkeit münden stets in einem Krieg. Es muss ein Krieg sein, weil dadurch unproduktive einst sehr teure Güter vernichtet werden, die Zerstörungen danach wieder beseitigt werden müssen und die erfreulich stark geschrumpfte Bevölkerung von minderem Humankapital die lästigen Sozialsysteme entlastet. Die Richtigkeit dieses Gedankenganges wird durch die Politik der FDP bewiesen. Die Hohepriester der freien Marktwirtschaft, welche sozial gegenüber den Reichsten des Landes gestaltet ist, finden sich in der CDU/CSU wieder. AfD und Grüne sind jeweils nur als Teilmengen der konservativen Parteien zu betrachten, die SPD kann sich wie immer gerade nicht entscheiden. Zu der seelischen Notlage eines morbiden Bürgertums gesellt sich der im Moment lukrativste Teil der Wirtschaft – die Rüstungsindustrie. So fließt das deutsche Wesen in seiner Urform als “Der Tod ist ein Meister aus Deutschland” zu der für die europäischen Nachbarn toxischen Mischung zusammen, um andere Staaten mit einem Krieg zu überziehen. Wem nützt er? Den Aktionären, die fast ausschließlich in der Elite und im Bürgertum angesiedelt sind.

Aus diesem Grunde ist auch wenig Widerstand aus den Reihen der Parteien zu erwarten. Eine Klienteldemokratie bedient die Interessen kleiner Gruppen und unterdrückt dadurch jegliche Solidarität. Dann hat der Egoismus, wie ihn Kurt Tucholski beschrieb, ein leichtes Ziel. Hauptsache, man selbst überlebt und das engste Familienmitglied. Dies hält Kriege am Leben und niemand kommt dann darauf, wer der eigentliche Kriegsgewinnler ist. Das wird im neuen Krieg nicht anders sein. Die Niederlage ist abzusehen und auf der radioaktiven Asche und dem verglasten Erdreich wird die Notwendigkeit einer Parteiendemokratie endgültig verschwunden sein. Bei so wenigen Überlebenden könnten die notwendigen Dinge durch eine Basisdemokratie schnell und wirksam erledigt werden. Doch braucht man zur Durchsetzung dieser neu zu bildenden Staatsform zuvor einen nuklearen Krieg?

Zu Sie treiben die Eskalation auf die Spitze

6. Leserbrief

Herzlichen Dank für die Kommentare von Tobias Riegel und Marcus Klöckner!

Spätestens mit der Entscheidung der abgewählten US-Biden-Administration, der Ukraine den Einsatz von Raketen größerer Reichweite zu erlauben, um strategische Ziele tief im russischen Hinterland zu zerstören, dürfte jedem überzeugtem Europäer bewusst sein, dass damit die Eskalationsschwelle hin zum heißen Krieg auf europäischem Boden überschritten und jede Hoffnung auf einen Frieden in der Ukraine zunichte gemacht wird! Zurecht weist Marcus Klöckner darauf hin, dass USA und Nato im erschreckend vollem Bewusstsein einen Schritt gehen, der in der Geschichte als der Anfang des heißen Dritten Weltkrieges eingehen könnte. Wo bleibt der Aufschrei der christlichen Kirchen? Wo bleiben die mutigen Journalisten und Journalistinnen in den Redaktionsstuben, ob bundes- oder europaweit, die gegen diesen Irrsinn anschreiben und sich damit endlich als die Vierte Gewalt , als unverzichtbares Korrektiv in einer Demokratie, wehrhaft und unverzagt positionieren? Doch, auf bundesdeutsche Verhältnisse bezogen, lautet die Devise: “Schlimmer geht immer”: So befürworten gewichtige Meinungsmacher in CDU, bei den Grünen und der FDP, die Lieferung von Taurus-Raketen an die Ukraine. Was für eine erbärmliche und zutiefst beschämende Haltung, was für ein nicht für denkbar gehaltenes “Herumtrampeln” auf dem Friedensgebot der Präambel unseres Grundgesetzes!

Sehr geehrtes NDS-Team,

was hier passiert skizziert Trump Junior treffend: Niemals Frieden,immerwährender Krieg ala Orson Wells 1984,da lässt sich ordentlich Kasse machen und schon bestehende Machtstrukturen noch mehr vertiefen,die Bevölkerung noch mehr drangsalieren.Das das natürlich noch härtere Kriegsführung Russlands gegen die Ukraine und noch viel mehr Tote provoziert ist denen herzlich egal.Den höchsten Preis für diese Entscheidung werden zunächst mal die Ukrainer bezahlen und natürlich auch betroffene Russen.So unterbelichtet kann nicht mal eine Baerbock sein ,um das nicht zu sehen.Aber ” wir führen ja Krieg gegen Rußland” …doch gegen die gesamte EU und die Nato hat Rußland keine Chance,am Schluß gehört Rußland und die unermesslichen Bodenschätze uns ! Genauso ist die kühle Rechnung.So hat vor ca. 90 Jahren schon mal einer spekuliert,aber damals war Deutschland isoliert und heut ist’s ganz anderes und auch kein deutscher Plan,sondern ein weltweites Eliten- bzw. Finanzoligopol scheint diesmal dahinter zu stecken,man kann’s nicht richtig fassen und beschreiben,aber man spürt die Wirkung. Aber was ist,wenn’s am Schluß überhaupt keine Gewinner mehr gibt? Warum beklatschen das die Medien,warum sind die EU – Funktionäre begeistert,warum jubeln fast alle Parteien,obwohl sowohl hier als auch in den USA die Mehrheit der Bevölkerung das überhaupt nicht will,nein sie haben von diesen hochnäsigen und durchgeknallten Herrenreitereliten die Nase gestrichen voll-deshalb wurde Trump gewählt,sie wollen die Rückkehr zur Vernunft und zur Demokratie ohne Meinungskontrolle.Sie wolle in Frieden ganz entspannt ihr Leben geniessen ohne Einmischung von irgendwelchen Politikern oder deren Ideologien in ihre Privatsphäre.Hier gibt’s weit und breit keinen Trump,aber ein BSW und eine AFD,die in diesen wichtigen Punkten ,nämlich keine Waffen mehr an die Ukraine und die gegen fortschreitende Entrechtung des Bürgers sehr ähnliche Ansichten vertreten.Ich würde Sarah Wagenknecht empfehlen mit der AFD strategisch zusammen zu arbeiten,um dieses Parteienoligopol aufzubrechen,denn nun geht’s wirklich ans Eingemachte-man muß diese rücksichtslosen Eliten unbedingt stoppen,da darf’s weder Brandmauern noch ideologische Verblendung geben,sondern den Pragmatismus der Vernunft, um einfach die Leute vor dem Wahnsinn eines Krieges zu retten.

Ein Narr legt Feuer an die Lunte!

Dement, in wenigen Tagen Ex-Präsident, aber in der Lage, noch schnell Feuer an die Lunte zu legen. Mal schauen, wann es endlich “bummmmm” macht, wird er sich denken. Unglaublich, wie ein Tor das Tor zum 3. Weltkrieg weit öffnet. Einfach unfassbar!

Es scheint nur noch eine Richtung in der Eskalationsspirale zu geben. Weiter und entschlossen nach oben. Die Kriegstreiber scheinen das Heft fest in der Hand zu haben. Bei gleichzeitiger Abwesenheit einer starken Friedensbewegung läßt das wohl nichts Gutes erwarten.

Für mich sieht es sehr düster aus für die Zukunft der jüngeren Generation. Und von dieser vernehme ich so gut wie keinen Protest gegen das herannahende Unheil. Das verstehe ich nicht und es macht mich fassungslos.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Guten Tag,

oder setzen noch schnell die Welt in Brand, wie Tobias Riegel zutreffend an anderer Stelle titelt.

Was sich vor unseren Augen abspielt ist die Folge der Eskalationsspirale, vor der die ,, Richtigen ” Experten und wache Menschen gewarnt haben. Das Puzzle zu einem großen Krieg schließt sich Teil für Teil. Mehrere Tausend Kilometer vom Elend des Krieges entfernt, wurde diese verheerende Entscheidung, mit der Freigabe und Aufhebung der Reichweiteneinschränkung für die US Raketensysteme durch die US Administration erteilt.

Nicht schnell genug im nachziehen, folgten die Briten und Franzosen für ihre Raketensysteme.

Hier zu Lande sind die potenten Befürworter für den Taurus bekannt, Politisch und Medial in der Überzahl. Anstatt in der kommenden vorweihnachtlichen Zeit Frieden anzustreben, wird weiter eskaliert und militärisches Töten forciert.

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Thomas Stöbe

Hallo NDS, Lieber Marcus Klöckner,

wem nicht klar war, dass diese Waffen-Freigabe irgendwann – bald – erfolgen würde, sollte seine politische Urteilskraft dringend zur Justierung bringen!

Da will also der noch-Präsident der USA schnell noch Fakten schaffen, die zu revidieren seinem Nachfolger ziemlich schwerfallen dürfte. Nun ja, etwas in dieser Art war, wie schon gesagt, fast sicher zu erwarten. Nun ist also die Katze aus dem Sack, der Westen hat seinen letzten Trumpf (nicht seinen letzten Trump!) diesseits eines offenen NATO-Angriffs auf Russland ausgespielt. Und was wird nun passieren? Ich sage mal: Nichts entscheidend anderes, als “sowieso” passierte. Diese Langstreckenzielfreigabe wird genauso wenig “Gamechanger” (früher hieß das “Wunderwaffe”) sein wie all die Superpanzer, Raketen und was noch vorher. Auch einen “Dritten Weltkrieg” wird es deswegen nicht geben. Russland wird vielleicht als Reaktion – *wenn* es denn wirklich einmal zu einem solchen Angriff weit hinter die Front kommen sollte – einige eher frontferne Ziele in der Ukraine verschärft bombardieren.
Russland will sich den Erfolg (wie es ihn sieht), der mühsam und unter heftigen Verlusten errungen wird, nicht kaputt machen; will keinen Großkrieg; wird einfach unbeirrt seinen Stiefel in der Ostukraine weitermachen; wird natürlich irgend versuchen, die Abschussgeräte für diese Raketen zu zerstören, – klar.

Fazit: Ruhe bewahren! Das alles hat man in Russland _längst_ kalkuliert. Und die Russen sind keine Hasardeure, am allerwenigsten Putin.

P.S.: Mal schaun, ob unser noch-Kanzler (Dass er auch nach dem 23. Februar 2025 noch K. bleibt, kann er nicht ernstlich glauben) jetzt, wo er eigentlich befreit aufspielen könnte, bei seinem Nein zur Taurus-Freigabe bleibt. Täte er ‘s, gewänne er bei nicht Wenigen ein klein wenig Achtung zurück, – – was freilich die SPD als ganze am Wahltag auch nicht über die 15%-Marke höbe.

Viele Grüße
Stephan Kendzia

11. Leserbrief

Liebe NDS,

Mit der Entscheidung Biden’s, Long-range Missiles gegen Russland einzusetzen, hat die abgewählte US-Regierung den Krieg der USA, der NATO und EU gegen Russland erklärt.

Es ist jetzt kein Konflikt mehr der Ukraine. Es ist jetzt ein offener militärischer Krieg gegen Russland, der die vitalen Überlebensinteressen Russland’s und der RF betrifft. Dies wird unweigerlich den Einsatz taktischer Nuklearwaffen nach sich ziehen. Da die kriegstreibenden Kräfte um Starmer (UK), Macron (France), Scholz und Merz (Germany) mit dem Einsatz von Storm Shadow, Scalp und Taurus nachziehen, werden diese Länder im Ziel russischer taktischer Nuklearwaffen liegen.

Ist eigentlich jedem klar, was es bedeutet, wenn 800 Kilotonnen – das ist die 32-fache Zerstörungskraft von “Fat Man” in Nagasaki – auf Berlin, Ramstein, Büchel, Paris, London, Washington DC oder Baltimore fallen?

Ich empfehle Russland, beim ersten Schuss mit ATACMS, Scalp, Storm Shadow oder Taurus einen taktischen Retaliation-Strike im – Megatonnen!-Bereich – auf eine dieser westlichen Zentren auszuführen. Dann haben diese Idioten im Westen für die nächsten 20.000 Jahre im bleichen Angesicht des Todes ein Denkmal, an das sie sich immer wieder erinnern werden! Der Schock muss für alle so gewaltig sein, dass er zu einer genetischen Veränderung des menschlichen Genoms führt, um in jeder Generation weiter vererbt zu werden.

Grüße

Guten Tag

Was die USA seit 2014 treibt ist inzwischen jedem bekannt . Sie brauchen dringend den Krieg in Europa um die Probleme im eigenen Land zu vertuschen . Jetzt gibt die USA Langstreckenwaffen der Ukraine zum Angriff auf Russland frei . Russland redet trotzdem noch von Verhandlungen mit dem Kriegsverbrecher USA ?

Das soll noch jemand verstehen ?

Die USA sind politisch gegen den Rest der Welt , zusammen mit den Westeuropäern , dem Untergang nahe . Alle Länder , die jahrelang das Diktat der USA ertragen mussten , werden sich von diesem aggressiven Land verabschieden , es wird auch Zeit .

Wie viele eigene Soldaten will Putin noch opfern ? Wartet er bis die ersten grossen Raketen in Moskau einschlagen ? Haben denn die letzten 70 Jahre noch nicht genügend gezeigt dass die USA mit allen Mitteln ein Krieg der NATO , (was ja nichts anderes als der verlängerte Arm der US-Armee ist ) gegen Russland immer wieder versuchen werden ? Wenn Russland jetzt nicht wirklich etwas unternimmt kommt langsam die Frage auf : auf was wartet die russische Regierung ? Putin wird wohl dann erstaunt sein, wenn das eigene Volk dieses entgegenkommen von Russland gegen die USA nicht mehr akzeptiert und einen Aufstand macht .

Ich grüsse Sie J.Blumer

13. Leserbrief

Seit der gestrigen Biden-Entscheidung habe ich unüberwindbare Angst . Ein Atomschlag, von wem auch immer, ist ein niemals zu rechtfertigendes Verbrechen.

Ich fürchte, seit der gestrigen Entscheidung sind wir einem Atomkrieg sehr nahe. Ich fürchte, dass Putin es ernst meint.

Leider nehmen die entscheidenden Politiker des Westens Putin überhaupt nicht ernst, obwohl sie ihn als brutalen, verbrecherischen Politiker zu recht brandmarken.

Ist er etwa kein Verbrecher ?

Werden Putins faschistischen Verbrechen überhaupt nicht mehr ernst genommen?

Wollen wir noch mehr davon erfahren?

Einen Atomkrieg? Muss erst der ganze Planet in Schutt und Asche gelegt werden, als Beweis, dass Putin es ernst meint?

Müssen wir Verbrecher etwa nicht ernst nehmen?

Warum gehen wir das Risiko eines nuklearen Armageddons, einer Auslöschung der Menschheit ein?

Das Risiko eines Atomschlags in Kauf zu nehmen, ist ebenfalls ein sehr großes Verbrechen!

Welcher Politiker ist berechtigt, für die Bevölkerung seiner Nation wie auch der Weltbevölkerung dieses Risiko einzugehen ???

Als Kind habe ich die Kuba-Krise erlebt. Wir hatten damals schon unendlich Angst vor einem Nuklear-Winter . Damals hieß es seitens unserer Politiker beschwichtigend, man solle sich während des zu erwartenden Atomangriffs der Sowjetunion in den Straßengraben werfen und seine Schultasche über den Kopf halten…

Kennedy hat dieses Risiko für die US-Bevölkerung nicht !!! in Kauf genommen. War das etwa falsch? Hat er sich damit etwa auf die falsche Seite der Geschichte gestellt? Musste er deswegen erschossen werden?

Die dauernde Eskalation im Ukrainekrieg zerrt an unseren Nerven. Tatsächlich befinden wir uns im Krieg mit Russland, sobald Taurus oder ähnliche Langstrecken-Raketen von NATO-Soldaten auf Ziele in Russland programmiert werden. Die Programmier-Codes geben weder die NATO-Staaten noch die USA aus der Hand, sie geben sie nicht an die Ukraine weiter .

Das macht den Unterschied zwischen einer direkten Beteiligung der NATO an der Eskalation oder einer ausschließlichen Eskalation zwischen der Ukraine und Russland aus.

Mit dem 1. Abschuss von Taurus oder ähnlichen, von NATO-Soldaten programmierten Langstrecken-Waffen Richtung Russland befinden sich alle NATO-Staaten im direkten Krieg mit Russland, einem hochgerüsteten Nuklearstaat.

Wer hat keine Angst vor einer Konfrontation zwischen Nuklearmächten?

The Smoking Gun: Who Started the War? Was It Russia or Was It US-NATO? NATO Confirms That the Ukraine “War Started in 2014”

Russia’s Final Warning to NATO – You’ll Get Your War, But It’ll be Over in 15 Minutes.

We are inches away from a global thermonuclear war.

By Drago Bosnic

“So this is not about whether or not to allow the Ukrainian regime to strike Russia using these weapons, but about deciding whether or not NATO countries are directly involved in the military conflict or not…it will mean that NATO countries, the United States and European countries, are at war with Russia.

And if this is so, bearing in mind the change in the very nature of the conflict, we will make appropriate decisions based on the threats that will be posed to us.” – President Vladmir Putin (September 12, 2024)

***

We are inches away from a global thermonuclear war. And no, this isn’t a meaningless, overused catchphrase. Quite the contrary, it’s as serious as it gets. We have reached a historical boiling point. At no other time in human history have we been closer to the scenario of annihilation, not even during the so-called “Cuban” Missile Crisis. It should really be called “Turkish” or something along those lines. And it’s important to note that we’re not digressing from the topic by mentioning this.

Namely, the mainstream propaganda machine just loves maintaining its narratives that essentially whitewash the political West and denigrate the actual world. This is why the fact that the United States initiated the “Cuban” Missile Crisis by deploying nuclear-tipped missiles in Italy and Turkey back in 1961 (although some sources claim it was as early as 1959) is ever so “conveniently” forgotten. The USSR waited a full year (at the very least) to respond by placing its own missiles in Cuba.

Thus, it’s perfectly clear who initiated that confrontation. And yet, as previously mentioned, modern historiography remembers the event as the “Cuban” Missile Crisis, sending a subliminal message that it was initiated by the Soviet Union and Cuba. Why is this important? Because the same people are now telling us that Russia “escalated” the NATO-orchestrated Ukrainian conflict by “firing missiles at a democratic Ukraine”, once again “forgetting” to mention the preceding events.

Namely, as we all know, the political West gave the Neo-Nazi junta the go-ahead to use long-range missiles against targets deeper within Russia. And they just did. In the last two days, approximately a dozen ATACMS and “Storm Shadow”/SCALP-EG missiles have been used (on the same day Moscow updated its nuclear doctrine, mind you).

So, how did the “evil Kremlin”, led by the “crazy, bloodthirsty tyrant Putin”, respond to this? Well, not with nukes, as we’re still here, even though the doctrine allows it.

However, Russia did fire what is technically an ICBM (intercontinental ballistic missile). This marks the first time such a weapon was used in a conflict.

And while ICBMs normally carry thermonuclear warheads, this one was conventionally armed. To better understand what sort of weapon this is, we have to go back a decade or so, specifically to the RS-26 “Rubezh” program that was supposed to deter NATO’s crawling aggression in Europe and the post-Soviet space.

RSD-10 PIONEER MISSILE | Sputnik Mediabank

Namely, the RS-26 was envisaged as the successor to the formidable RSD-10 “Pioneer” IRBM (intermediate-range ballistic missile) (image left). Essentially a shortened version of the three-stage RS-24 “Yars” ICBM, with one stage removed (and some other modifications), the RS-26 had a shorter range, but was no less deadly. In fact, it carried more powerful warheads than the “Pioneer” (at least four 300 kt instead of the latter’s three 150 kt ones), while also being more accurate and impossible to intercept.

This enabled it to target even massive underground command centers or any other high-priority targets across NATO-occupied Europe. However, there was a (geo)political problem with the RS-26. Namely, it was made at a time when the INF Treaty was still in force (banning all missiles with ranges between 500 and 5,500 km). So, for the RS-26 to formally comply with this, it had to have a range greater than 5,500 km. Otherwise, it would violate the INF Treaty and be designated as an IRBM.

To avoid this, it was designed to achieve a maximum range of 5,800 km, just enough to be designated as an ICBM. However, this created another problem, as it affected the New START treaty. Namely, this would force Russia to reduce the number of its, so to speak, “purebred” ICBMs such as “Yars”, R-36M2 “Voevoda” and RS-28 “Sarmat”. As a result, in 2011, the program was postponed for a period after 2027, with most resources diverted to the development of Russia’s new hypersonic weapons.

However, on August 2, 2019, the US unilaterally withdrew from the INF Treaty and started developing previously banned intermediate and medium-range missiles, prompting Russia to respond. These programs accelerated significantly after the start of the special military operation (SMO), resulting in new designs, as well as massive improvements to the existing ones. However, we still didn’t hear almost anything about the RS-26, indicating that the program might have even been scrapped altogether.

But, on April 12 this year, Moscow tested an “unnamed ICBM”. To this day, the Russian military is yet to publicly reveal the exact type of the missile launched that day. At the time, I argued that the missile was actually the RS-26, as it had striking similarities with the previously mentioned RS-24 that the “Rubezh” was actually based on, including the way it conducted wobbling maneuvers designed to confuse NATO’s ABM (anti-ballistic missile) systems, making it virtually impossible to intercept.

A green Yars-M missile complex on a mobile launcher with eight large wheels at Russian strategic missile forces base

For seven months, no news came through about this “mysterious ICBM”. Until the early hours of November 21, that is. Initially, the Russian military didn’t reveal what missile it was, letting NATO contemplate what to do next. However, the “mysterious ICBM” was soon not only uncovered, but actually named – “Oreshnik” (“Hazel” in Russian). However, solid information about the missile is extremely scant, fueling all sorts of speculation, wild guessing and outright misinformation.

For instance, the Pentagon insists the missile that hit Dnepropetrovsk was fired from Kapustin Yar, a testing site in the Astrakhan oblast (region) in southern Russia, located over 1000 km to the east. This distance is too short for an ICBM, raising questions about the veracity of the US military’s claims. Then, videos from Kazakhstan emerged, specifically over the city of Satbayev, which is 1,500 km to the east of Kapustin Yar. Even more interestingly, some 450 km to the southeast lies Sary Shagan.

This place is home to one of the largest and most important missile test sites in the former Soviet Union, with the Russian military still using it extensively, including during the aforementioned April 12 test. It’s simply impossible to see “Oreshnik” fly over Satbayev if it was fired from Kapustin Yar to Dnepropetrovsk. However, it’s certainly possible that the missile was fired from Sary Shagan. Still, NATO doesn’t want to reveal that it flew nearly 2,400 km before hitting its targets with pinpoint precision.

Even more interestingly, videos over Satbayev also show that the missile is wobbling and maneuvering just like the “mysterious ICBM” tested on April 12, further reinforcing the notion that the “Oreshnik” could actually be a conventionally armed “Rubezh”. In addition, its maximum range exceeds 5,000 km, which puts virtually all of Europe in range. And indeed, it makes little sense to get a completely new missile if you have the “Rubezh”, as it’s already a largely finished product.

Technically speaking, there are several possibilities when it comes to the “Oreshnik”. First, it doesn’t even have to be a regular missile and could be some sort of MaRV (maneuverable reentry vehicle), MIRV (multiple independently targetable reentry vehicle), HGV (hypersonic glide vehicle), etc. or perhaps even a hybrid, with the “Rubezh” being the primary missile carrier. The “Rubezh” itself can already carry the “Avangard”, so if the “Oreshnik” is an HGV, it shouldn’t be a problem for the “Rubezh” to deploy it.

Another possibility is that the “Oreshnik” is a completely new missile (not necessarily ballistic, but likely a more advanced hypersonic, maneuvering weapon) that has its own MIRV/MaRV/HGV warheads. There are no definite claims about this at present, simply because very little is publicly known about it. However, personally, I am more inclined to believe that the “Oreshnik” is a conventionally armed HGV that can be carried by nuclear-capable ICBM/IRBMs like the RS-26 “Rubezh”.

The reason is quite simple, because why would someone make something completely new when they already have a finished project that can immediately go into production (the “Rubezh” uses the same production lines as the “Yars”)? This reinforces the notion that the RS-26 is a highly modular design which can be equipped with various types of warheads, including conventional ones. It also harkens back to President Putin’s vision of Russia’s strategic preemptive strike capabilities.

One more thing that should be noted about the “Oreshnik” is that it was certainly an overkill against the Neo-Nazi junta.

Russia’s more tactical and operational level missiles could’ve easily conducted this. However, given the fact that Moscow is faced with the increasingly delusional and aggressive West, it just had to demonstrate its firepower, prompting Putin to authorize the long-range strike on Dnepropetrovsk. This is a particularly important message to both the US and EU/NATO.

In terms of the functioning of the missile’s warhead, the available footage shows at least 30 smaller projectiles divided into five groups (six in each). The lack of visible detonations (although at least one was seen) suggests these are probably advanced kinetic penetrators capable of annihilating heavily defended and dug-in positions.

This means that any NATO base anywhere in Europe and/or elsewhere would be in range, but Russia wouldn’t need to rely on its thermonuclear arsenal to deter aggression.

The Inviolable Connection Between the Wars in the Middle East and Ukraine

By Peter Koenig

Whoever thought that the Zionist-Israel war against Palestine and Lebanon was independent from the war in Ukraine may be dead-wrong. The same dark forces – call them Deep State – are at play on either side of the Med Sea.

Whoever the Deep State is or are, they have control over a lot of money, a real lot. Over 90% of the total monetary flow worldwide is under their management because they control the Bank for International Settlements (BIS), which is also called the Central Bank of all Central Banks, and is domiciled in Holy Switzerland, where else? The BIS is controlled by the Rothschild clan and supports the Ashkenazi Zionists.

How will President-elect Trump make sure on his promises to be a Peace President, resolving the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East within days of taking office? His Cabinet selections may not be all Jewish, but most of them are strong supporters of the Zionists and by association, Genocide-Netanyahu.

Just look at the profile of Trump’s appointee for the Defense Secretary, Mr. Pete Hegseth, a staunch Zionist-Israel supporter and Iran hater. See this assessment from a former Secretary of Defense.

Did Mr. Trump himself at some point convert to the Jewish faith? Conservative radio talk show host Mark Levin called President Trump in 2019, the nation’s “first Jewish President.” However, such rumors are most likely not true, but may be fueled by Trump’s daughter Ivanka, having converted to Judaism when marrying Jewish Jared Kushner.

Trump’s appointees and his own friendship with Netanyahu do not bode well for Peace in the Middle East. But time will tell.

A few days ago, Donald Trump made a devastating statement for the cult, called Deep State, on how he will prevent WWIII and Nuclear Armageddon, by dismantling the US Deep State, drying up the Washington swamp, and by calling the current Administration a “Third World Dictatorship.” See this 3.5-minute video clip:

This happened about the same time a few days ago, as Biden reportedly authorized Kiev to launch long-range US-made ATACMS missiles deep into Russia. British Defense Secretary John Healey told Parliament immediately that

“We, as a nation and as a government, are doubling down on our support for Ukraine and are determined to do more,” and allowed Ukraine to use the UK- French made Storm Shadow long-range.

This apparently Healey justified because Russia has allegedly recruited North Korean troops to fight against Ukraine.

See this.

France and other NATO countries enhanced this support. Will Kiev be thoughtless and foolish enough to make use of this western-NATO authorization?

Apparently, they already have. CNN reports today, 21 November, that Ukraine launched a Storm Shadow missiles at targets inside Russia for the first time on Wednesday, 20 November 2024, according to a Russian military blog and Reuters, a day after Ukraine fired US-made ATACMS missiles into Russia. See this.

In turn, Thursday morning 21 November, Russia fired an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) at Ukraine for the first time. The missile was an attack on the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro, targeting critical infrastructure. Currently, no reports on casualties are available. See this.

Long-Range Missiles Targeting Russia – Last Minute Efforts to Stop President-Elect Trump From Taking Office?

Adding to the disaster, and according to the Washington Post, outgoing Joe Biden has reportedly decided to send anti-personnel landmines to Ukraine; a news item repeated by multiple media outlets, citing unnamed American officials. See this.

An imminent WWIII is in plain view. Tucker Carlson reports on “X”, in an interview with Glenn Greenwald, that “permanent” Washington, those who do not want to yield power to the newly elected President Trump, seem to decide that “Nuclear war is preferable to Donald Trump.”

Under these, not just war-mongering but war-provoking circumstances, how could Donald Trump negotiate a Peace Agreement?

First, it is against the wishes of the west, of NATO; and second, they, NATO and the Deep State, seem to do everything possible to start a major war which could be blamed on President Putin, before Trump can take office on 20 January 2025, so that they, the Dems [under command of the Deep State], can call for Martial Law and delay Trump’s Presidency indefinitely.

That is what the Globalists want. They prefer nuclear war to Trump becoming President, and risk the globalist-dream with all its anti-human agendas being demolished. This seems ever more evident as days move forward. And it fits the conclusion of the Tucker Carlson–Glenn Greenwald interview above.

To get back to the link between Ukraine and the Middle East wars, let us compare this with what the former leader of the Ashkenazi Jews, Rabbi Schneerson, said in 1994.

Notice the last sentence: “NATO is Khazaria in Drag”, meaning NATO is Khazaria in disguise.

If we want to get out of the dual larger Zionist-Khazaria in Ukraine, cum the larger Israel in the Middle East, absorbing up to half or one-third of all Middle East and the corresponding hydrocarbon resources, We, the People must act now; first by spreading the connecting dots worldwide without delay; and second, by lobbying the Trump Administration not just for Peace, but for Peace and an independent, sovereign Ukraine; not a Ukraine privatized by BlackRock.

BlackRock has already privatized at least a third, probably more, of Ukraine’s rich agricultural land, plus much of Ukraine’s natural resources, against a BlackRock-managed Fund for Reconstruction.

BlackRock is behind the Kazarian Empire and Zionist-Israel.

Unconfirmed rumors have it that Mr. Trump has asked or may ask Larry Fink, CEO of BlackRock, to become the next Secretary of the Treasury. There is nothing like the fox guarding the hen house. That would be the beginning of privatization in the United States.

These are dangerous and vulnerable times of clandestine happenings and agreements which, once set in motion then in stone, are hard to get out of.

We the People, MUST stay alert, awake and aware to prevent the Dual Empire to emerge and to become suddenly the flagship of the Global One World Government.

Can Armageddon be Avoided? Putin cannot accept missiles being fired into Russia by the US and NATO. Paul C. Roberts

Is the West, Lost in its Own Lies, Trapped in the Pending Disaster Washington Has Brewed?

By Dr. Paul Craig Roberts

The situation in the world is more threatening than ever before. Putin has had to make it clear that a continuation of missile attacks on Russia will result in retribution. The new missile Putin has revealed can destroy all US and NATO military forces in the West and Middle East without the use of nuclear warheads. If the US then goes nuclear, Russian nuclear forces will destroy the entirety of the West. Indeed, Steve Starr shows that the entire world will be the victim of American psychopaths.

In the face of such a warning, only totally irresponsible psychopaths would persist. The sway of psychopaths over the US and Europe means we have to be concerned that Washington will “test the waters” by expending the permissible area and distance for the ATACMs to be fired into Russia. I have been convinced that it would come to this crisis from day one of Putin’s limited military operation. Russia needed to immediately knock Ukraine out before the West could get involved. Now the West’s prestige is on the line. Putin tolerated provocations in order to avoid widening the conflict, but his patience with the West backfired as it resulted in the belief that Putin’s warnings are meaningless as “he never does anything.”

Putin has backed up as far as he can. His back is against the wall. Putin cannot accept missiles being fired into Russia by the US and NATO. At this point only psychopaths would “test the waters” which means playing with nuclear armageddon. But psychopaths are in charge. The Ukraine conflict was prepared and unleashed by US neoconservatives in the belief that it would destabilize Russia and perhaps lead to the breakup of the Russian Federation. Putin should not have let it go as far as he did before he acted. Putin was too slow to realize that Washington intends Russia’s destruction.

That a few Zionist neoconservatives can push the world to the brink in their pursuit of US hegemony indicates the failure of Western governance. The situation in the Middle East is equally dangerous. It is being driven by clearing out obstacles to Greater Israel and Washington’s desire to control oil flows and waterways.

A bad outcome seems inevitable, because the Western world is lost in the lies of its official narrative. There is no reality recognition. If you read Johnson’s Russian List, a daily collection of foreign affairs and military articles by “experts,” what you mainly see is stupidity and self-delusion. Most of the authors are supported in one way or the other by military/security grants, so there is no questioning. To tell the truth in the Western world today you must be independent. Without readers’ support of truth-telling websites, there will be no truth.

Propaganda has implanted the mistaken belief that Russia, China, and Iran are enemies that must be opposed and defeated. Yet Russia, China, and Iran have taken no hostile actions against the West. All three have accepted illegally imposed sanctions and other hostile actions without responding in kind. The Pentagon and the US military/security complex see in their image of the enemies that propaganda has created for the West a danger that must be countered by a nuclear buildup. One trillion dollars are to be spent “modernizing” nuclear weapons whose only possible use is world destruction. No thought and no attention is given to defusing the situation. Remember, in 2016 the CIA, FBI, and Deep State turned violently on President Trump when he said he intended to defuse the situation by normalizing relations with Russia. The Establishment’s response was “Russiagate,” impeachments, indictments. Without enemies, the profits and power of the military/security complex diminish.

Is Washington “Begging” for a Preemptive Nuclear Attack From Russia?

Now the Establishment is trying to saddle President Trump with a war with Russia as he enters office. This is the work of psychopaths.

When Americans accepted the stolen 2020 election, they accepted the reign of psychopaths who define peace as Washington’s hegemony. Any government in the way of Washington’s hegemony is defined as an enemy. They are enemies not because they threaten the US. They are enemies because they insist on their independence from Washington’s hegemony.

Americans have been deceived that Russia, China, and Iran are enemies out to get them. Belief in this lie makes the Western world blind to the fact that its leaders are evil psychopaths leading the world to Armageddon.

Tucker Carlson sees what it happening. He declares it “the most evil thing I’ve seen in my lifetime.”

Reviews

“This book is a ‘must’ resource – a richly documented and systematic diagnosis of the supremely pathological geo-strategic planning of US wars since ‘9-11’ against non-nuclear countries to seize their oil fields and resources under cover of ‘freedom and democracy’.”
–John McMurtry, Professor of Philosophy, Guelph University

“In a world where engineered, pre-emptive, or more fashionably “humanitarian” wars of aggression have become the norm, this challenging book may be our final wake-up call.”
-Denis Halliday, Former Assistant Secretary General of the United Nations

Michel Chossudovsky exposes the insanity of our privatized war machine. Iran is being targeted with nuclear weapons as part of a war agenda built on distortions and lies for the purpose of private profit. The real aims are oil, financial hegemony and global control. The price could be nuclear holocaust. When weapons become the hottest export of the world’s only superpower, and diplomats work as salesmen for the defense industry, the whole world is recklessly endangered. If we must have a military, it belongs entirely in the public sector. No one should profit from mass death and destruction.
–Ellen Brown, author of ‘Web of Debt’ and president of the Public Banking Institute

The Dangers Lurking in Animal-Based Foods: Harmful Additives, Synthetic Hormones, Colorings, Antibiotics, Glyphosate

By Richard Gale and Dr. Gary Null

For over 70 years, the USDA has shaped the dietary framework for Americans, crafting food guidelines to maintain the nation’s health. Alongside the FDA, it bears the responsibility of regulating food safety and ensuring that our diets comprise balanced proteins, fats, and carbohydrates from trustworthy sources. Yet, as we reflect on the health landscape of previous generations, a stark contrast emerges between then and now, underscoring a disturbing trajectory in public health and dietary norms.

Baby boomers and Gen X, who came of age from the 1940s through the 1960s, recall a time when childhood illnesses like measles, mumps, and chickenpox were common but typically resolved without significant complications, leaving children with lifelong immunity. Schools emphasized USDA nutritional guidelines through home economics classes, and children led active lives, fostering physical fitness. Victory gardens in backyards exemplified a cultural norm of cultivating fresh produce, and the concept of body pollution—the cumulative impact of environmental toxins on health—was largely unheard of. Obesity, autism, asthma, diabetes, autoimmune conditions, and chronic inflammatory illnesses were rare or virtually non-existent.

In stark contrast, today’s youth face an epidemic of obesity and nutrient deficiencies, including critical vitamins and minerals such as C, D, E, zinc, and magnesium. Obesity alone contributes to 335,000 deaths annually, accounts for over $260 billion in healthcare costs, and is linked to millions of disability-adjusted life-years lost. Predictions published in The Lancet forecast a grim future: by 2050, 80% of adults and nearly 40% of youth aged 15–24 will be overweight or obese. Teenagers, increasingly unfit, struggle to participate in sports or qualify for military service. Shockingly, many of today’s children may not outlive their parents.

Equally troubling is the surge in mental health crises among the young. Teen suicide rates continue to rise, with 20% of teenagers contemplating self-harm—a phenomenon rarely, if ever, remembered by earlier generations. The proliferation of serotonin-inhibiting drugs has done little to stem the tide, pointing to deeper systemic issues.

A primary culprit is the denaturalization and industrial over-processing of food. Today’s diets are rife with harmful additives, excessive salt, unhealthy sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup, and a host of contaminants, including forever chemicals. microplastics and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). Regulatory agencies such as the USDA and FDA have repeatedly supported and protected these questionable practices, often with the backing of advisory panels riddled with conflicts of interest. Private industries, wielding immense wealth and power, dictate what Americans consume, perpetuating diets devoid of fresh, nutritious ingredients.

This crisis highlights a troubling pattern of leadership at federal health agencies, often staffed by medical professionals from prestigious institutions who have failed to enact meaningful reforms. Despite their credentials, these leaders have been unable—or unwilling—to challenge the corporate capture that dominates our food supply and undermines public health.

Enter Robert Kennedy Jr., whose unique qualifications and decades-long career as a legal scholar and activist position him as an unparalleled candidate to lead the Department of Health and Human Services. Unlike his predecessors, Kennedy brings a history of identifying and combating institutional corruption, the very force at the heart of America’s health crisis. While he may lack traditional medical or academic titles, he possesses a deep understanding of the systemic issues plaguing federal health agencies and the vision to champion transformative change. His leadership could address not only the regulatory failings but also promote healthier lifestyles and stricter oversight of the nation’s food and agricultural policies.

In light of this potential, examining the dangers posed by the animal-based foods that dominate the American diet is a critical step toward understanding the broader health implications. These staples, laden with toxins and chemical residues, have far-reaching consequences for public health, as we will explore in the following discussion.

The Dangers Lurking in Animal-Based Foods

MeatAdditives

For lack of a better word, the meat sold in this country’s grocery stores and restaurants is from animals so “shotup” with hormones, antibiotics, tranquilizers, preservatives, additives, and pesticides that it is almost more pharmaceutical than nutritional. These added toxins have been linked to negative long-term effects on health. Here’s just one example: the highly toxic organophosphates and brain damage. Human electroencephalograms showed that a single exposure could alter the electrical activity of an infant’s brain for years and possibly cause abnormal behavior and learning patterns. The study, conducted by Harvard Medical School concluded

“there is a dangerous possibility that organophosphate pesticides have the potential for causing long term brain damage.”

As a side note, organophosphates also decrease sex drive, impair concentration, and cause memory loss, schizophrenia, depression, irritability and more; plus, the US Environmental Protection Agency has taken steps to limit their availability to the public.[1]

One group—the most egregious in some ways—is colored dyes used to beautify meat. Perhaps their use is the industry’s implicit acknowledgment that they would lose flocks of consumers if they tried to sell their meat in its untouched-up state, as slimy, brownish green, rotting flesh. Like morticians, meat packers artificially treat this organic material to give it the colors of life. Red and violet dyes are added to beef and pork, while yellow dyes are put into chicken feed to enhance the color of the chickens’ flesh.

The majority of synthetic colorings used by the food industry are coal-tar derivatives. Some dyes, even when labeled “US Certified,” meaning they meet minimum government standards, have not been sufficiently tested for safety, and some of these have been correlated with increased incidence of cancer and reproductive damage leading to birth defects, stillbirths, and infertility in animals. Red 40 (Allura Red AC) used in processed meats such as hot dogs and sausages, has been linked to childhood hyperactivity, hives and has shown to be potentially carcinogenic in animals. Carmine, a natural dye derived from crushed bugs and also used in processed meats, is associated with a wide range of reactions including erythema, angioedema, bronchospasms, allergic bronchiolitis, etc.

A much more necessary group of chemicals from the meat industry’s standpoint is preservatives such as two petroleum derivatives: butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) and butylated hydroxyanisole (BRA). They prevent the fat in meat from becoming rancid. They are found everywhere –from lard, chicken fat, butter, cream, bacon, sausage, cold cuts, milk, vegetable oils, potato chips, peanut butter, shortening, raisins, breakfast cereals, and chewing gum. Though the industry depends on them to prolong their products’ shelf life, they are hardly safe, with their toxicity being associated with skin blisters, fatigue, eye hemorrhaging, and respiratory problems.

Antibiotics

Overuse of antibiotics is prevalent throughout medical care and the meat and fish industries. While most of us think of antibiotics as “good” in that they can save lives from threatening harmful bacteria, we erroneously don’t think of them as dangerous to our bodies when, in fact, they are if used in excess.

The Coming Antibiotic-Resistance Pandemic that Could Make COVID Look Like the Flu

Those who pay attention to the news will know that the overuse of antibiotics in both animals (cattle, pigs, chickens, etc.) and people has generated new, more resolute strains of bacteria that put up severe resistance to drugs meant to cope with them. Organisms’ ability to adapt to environmental conditions is a continuous and ongoing activity, which is why much of science is regularly organizing itself around a new “bug” or “pest” (think pesticides) to fight. This is how drug-resistant bacteria and “superbugs” come into existence in our foods.

Because antibiotics are prevalent in animal-raising, if you consume these products three times a day, as the typical American does, there is an accumulation of these toxins in your bloodstream and tissues over time. A person eating such a contaminated animal may also be consuming the antibiotic-resistant bacteria that developed in the animal, increasing a person’s risk for illness.

In one study, grocery store products in Minnesota were tested and showed resistant bacteria in meat samples, especially turkey. Consumers would be alarmed to learn that their “food” is infected with Listeria, E coli, and Salmonella, three of the most serious contaminants in inexpensive meat products over the past two decades. Not only do these bacteria withstand the antibiotics meant to suppress them, but also they often escape lax quality control processes at large factory farms. Thus, the presence of Salmonella,norovirus,botulism,andE.coli have been reported in meat products across the country in such trusted brands as Safeway, McDonalds, Walmart, and Arby’s. As a side note, sadly, children and the elderly—many of whom have struggles with nutritional deficiencies, unhealthy living environments, and heavy dosages of medications, including vaccines—are especially susceptible to these bacteria-infected meats.

Typically, when people take an antibiotic, they are bombarding themselves directly while adding to the antibiotics that have already accumulated in the body’s tissues. At the same time, the physical body’s ability to fight-off other pathogens is weakened, which then requires more powerful antibiotics. In time, through ongoing assault, the body’s system fails—it could be a heart attack, a stroke, cancer, or bacterial infection or virus that cannot be contained.

The CDC estimates that 48 million people fall ill, 128,000 are hospitalized and 3,000 die from foodborne diseases annually.[4] A report in the New England Journal of Medicine linked 18 cases of food poisoning, which claimed one life and hospitalized 11 people, to hamburger meat riddled with a drug-resistant form of Salmonella. The contaminated beef was traced to a cattle farm in South Dakota where the livestock were consuming grain that had been over treated with the antibiotic tetracycline.

The price of utilizing these antibiotics in animals to the extent that they are today in the US is extremely high. Eighty percent of all antibiotics used in the US are for farm animals.[5] Swine accounts for the highest percentage (43%) followed by cattle (41%).

Is there a problem with the vast tonnage of antibiotics used in food animals? Certainly. Perhaps this is why the FDA has been sued over its refusal to release data on antibiotic use in animals. The alarms have been sounded because the saturation of our food supply and human population with antibiotics is the primary cause for the staggering explosion in cases of methicillin-resistant staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA) infection. Approximately 1.2 million hospitalized Americans are infected by MRSA per year,[6] and colonized MRSA infections have a 36 percent mortality rate.[7]

As the numbers suggest, the hard-nosed business people that run these factory farms do not administer antibiotics to their livestock lightly, or in a careful and controlled manner. They have become beholden to these drugs for the survival of their businesses. The antibiotics are given as a regular course to stave off the disease that would otherwise be rampant in the close, unsanitary, injurious conditions in which meat and dairy animals are forced to live. If they did not dose these animals with a bumper load of pharmaceuticals, these owners would have far fewer “healthy” animals for slaughter. In the case of young cattle, however, there is a second reason for the dosing. Some animals are deprived of iron and rendered anemic in order to yield the white, pale meat preferred by those who prepare and eat veal. Being sickly, the calves are prey to all sorts of infection, which the antibiotics help to stave off.

Consequently, Americans are consuming antibiotics through their food multiple times daily, which is much higher than that found in Europe where control on drug use in animals is tighter. In addition to being using prophylactically, antibiotic drugs are also supplied when an animal comes down with a specific disease, such as, leprospirosis, parvovirus, erysipelas, E.coli infection, atropic rhinitis, gastroenteritis, C. perfringens, and pseudorabies.

One of the more notorious of the new resistant agents is Enterococci. In one study, a high percentage of Enterococci bacteria found in food products, including meat, dairy and poultry, were resistant to such common antibacterials as tetracycline (over 30% of the strains were resistant), erythromycin (over 20% resistant), and streptomycin (over 10% resistant). Even more shocking, a small 0.7%, were resistant to ciproflaxin, one of the strongest antibiotics on the market.

Things are getting so bad with the growth of antibiotic-resistant pathogens that the World Health Organization has issued a warning directive claiming that infectious diseases will soon outstrip our ability to contain them with any existing medicines. Antibiotic resistance is one big contributor to this trend, and feeding antibiotics to farm animals, which then gets into meat-eaters’ diets, plays no small part in this tendency toward developing super-resistant pathogens.

Let’s quickly note some other grim results of the overuse of drugs—antibiotic and otherwise—in animals. For one, many additives given to animals are not tested for their safety to people, since it is erroneously assumed that if the administration of antibiotics is discontinued well before the animal is slaughtered, then traces of it will not remain in the meat. Take the hormone Carbadox, used to enlarge market-bound pigs, and removed from their diet a month or so before the animals are killed; or the drug Paylean, which is given to pigs to shift their biochemistry from fat production to meat production. Neither has been evaluated for its effect on humans, which is beneficial, of course, for enterprising drug companies and the governmental regulatory bodies they control.

Most shocking of all considerations, if these antibiotics and other drugs don’t reach meat eaters through land-animal flesh, they may unknowingly be getting them from the sea. Industrial runoff and dumping enable drugs to drain into the oceans, and, due to this, catches of sea life are more toxic than ever before. So fish and other seafood may be contributing to the current antibiotic resistance we are experiencing since they can be contacting traces of antibiotics in the water that they breathe.

Unfortunately, the meat and dairy industries are not required to inform consumers which products have been treated with antibiotics and other pharmaceuticals, and which have not.[8] For that matter, they don’t even have to inform us if the meat comes from factory manufactured cloning.

The first question one might ask about all this is: why is it that the government agencies that are charged with protecting our health don’t do something about this?

Believe it or not, they actually have tried. In 1977, the FDA tried to ban antibiotics in the animal industry, but their efforts were shot down by the successful lobbying of the powerful livestock and drug companies, such as the then largest manufacturer of livestock antibiotics, American Cyanamid.[9] It’s a sorry story of the government lying down to wealthy, free-spending companies, who used the same argument then as they do now, which is—as the pro-industry American Farm Bureau Federation puts it—curtailing the widespread use of antibiotics will cause a jump in the cost of meat. And we know they are not figuring in the gigantic tally of health bills run up by those suffering unnecessarily from additionalillnesses attributable to the widespread use of these chemicals. Of course they are not, because it is not in their interest to do so.

One more recent antibiotic candidate is bambermycin widely used in chicken feed. The National Broiler Council says this item poses no health risk. By the way, this is the typical response you get from industry advocates who know little about human health and how the body works. However, when they are introduced, no one knows with certainty the short or long-term health risks of these drugs. A biochemist at the National Resources Defense Council believes “all antibiotics [even the newer ones] can cause resistance to occur eventually.”[10] And one of the newer ones, chloramphenicol, even in low doses has already been shown to induce aplastic anemia in humans, a deadly disease that prevents the production of red blood cells in the bone marrow.[11]

We can now better understand why the meat industry can boast: Younolongerneedtogo tothedoctorwhenyouhaveaninfection.Justtakeabiteofoneofourproductsandyou’ll get a full spectrum of antibiotics.

No discussion of meat safety would be complete without mentioning that at one time the FDA allowed the synthetic hormone DES (diethystilbestrol) to be used in the meat industry. DES rapidly increased the size and weight of cattle. On average, a calf weighs about 80 pounds and needs to grow to anywhere from 700-1,200 pounds for sale in just 14-16 months. In contrast, according to Homestead Organics, it takes 2-4 years for natural grass-fed cattle to go to market.[12] It may be remembered that the FDA also approved DES to be prescribed to women to reduce the risk of miscarriage and premature births. There was a 40-fold increase in rare vaginal tumors in women and girls that were exposed to this drug in utero. There was also a significant rise in breast cancer. The FDA banned the use of DES in women in 1971 and later in cattle feed in 1972 for the same reasons. However, the FDA permits the use of synthetic steroid hormones in cattle like estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone to name a few. We now know after many human trials that these very same hormones, which are prescribed to millions of women for treating menopausal symptoms, have been shown to increase the risk of certain cancers, cardiovascular disease, and dementia.

Hormones are one of the main additives used in the US for regulating breeding, and to tranquilize and promote weight gain. The downside for us, if not for the meat sellers, is that synthetic hormones can cause cancer in the recipient animals. This is not a downside for the business side of animal agriculture since it usually doesn’t affect the marketability of the meat.

One of the estrogen hormones commonly fed to livestock may increase women’s chances of contracting uterine and breast cancer, and may cause children to enter puberty prematurely. Add Raigro to this list, an estrogen-like compound; Lutalyse, a prostaglandin (often given to an entire herd so that they will ovulate at the same time), which may disrupt women’s menstrual cycles and cause pregnant women to miscarry; and, finally, the hormone androgen, which may cause liver cancer.

DDTandOtherAdditives

By cooking meat, a chef creates chemicals (HCAs) that are health hazards. This could be avoided by, for instance, eating beef raw, as is done in some cultures. But it is a terrible and potentially deadly idea due to worms, parasites, and life-threatening bacteria. Furthermore, there is nothing that can be done (short of abstention from eating meat) to guard against the chemicals that are put into it, such as food coloring, antibiotics, and hormones as well as add-ins that are introduced into livestock at the breeding phase. Throughout their existence, livestock and dairy cows are fed large amounts of chemically treated feed. To judge whether a particular meat has traces of these additives would be difficult, not only because meat is difficult to analyze, but because the government offers little help, allowing the use of over 500 chemical additives while very lightly monitoring how these chemicals are administered.

As an example of the noxious chemicals that contaminate meat, let’s look at DDT. This pesticide is so dangerous it was banned in 1972, following on the heels of Rachel Carson’s SilentSpring, which brought to public notice the cancer-causing properties and other dangers associated with this pesticide. The chemical became popular in the ’40s, and was used extensively for nearly three decades. Many people don’t know that the DDT that got into plants came not through what had been sprayed on them to kill bugs but through the soil. After plants were dosed with it every year for decades, our soil became saturated with DDT. That means that even when farmers stopped spraying the plants, its presence would remain, and for up to 2 to 15 years.[13] Next step, livestock eat the crops and concentrate the chemical; then we eat the livestock, DDT and all. DDT is extremely persistent and can still be present in crops and soil in other parts of the world in their agricultural practices and in disease-control programs.[14] This is something to be mindful of when purchasing non-organic products outside of the US.

DDT is a substance that inadvertently gets into animals through the food chain, but many other unfriendly chemicals are purposely given to livestock. The food additive sodium nitrate, used as a color fixative in most processed meats, including hot dogs, bologna, cured meats, bacon, meat spreads, sausage, and ham, is terribly detrimental to health. When ingested, nitrates form potentially cancer-causing substances called nitrosamines. While vitamin C has been found to block the formation of some nitrosamines, and some bacon producers have added vitamin C to their products to make them less of a cancer threat, about two-thirds of C’s power is lost during cooking.

And meat is not the only animal product that shows the effect of these pharmaceuticals. The chemicals fed to and sprayed on milk cows pass into their milk while those given to chickens appear in their eggs. So, with any animal product you eat, you can’t help getting a side order of drugs.

OtherMiscellaneousAdditives

One particular additive used in poultry farming is ionophores, such as monensin and salinomycin. These drugs are commonly used to control coccidiosis, a parasitic disease caused by the protozoan Eimeria. They are also used to improve feed efficiency, although not to promote growth in the same way as antibiotics. Poultry farmers are supposed to allow for a withdrawal period in order for ionophore residues to be removed from the meat before it reaches consumers. Excessive exposure through chicken consumption containing high ionophore residues can pose serious health risks to humans such as cardiac arrhythmias and neurological issues due to the way ionophores affect cellular ion transport. These compounds disrupt normal ion gradients that affect muscle function and heart rhythm. Farmers are solely responsible for following the FDA guidelines for proper withdrawal periods. But this is wishful thinking when a typical large factory farm or processing facility can slaughter anywhere from 250,000 to 1 million chickens a day and the largest facilities, such as Tyson Foods, can process 2 million per day during peak production.[15]

Rather than go further down the list of health-weakening additives that go into animal products, it is important to underline the idea that the effects of toxins in animal products are not quickly evident. One doesn’t eat a slab of bacon and get sick the next day. The toxins work slowly but insidiously as Dr. Rudolph Ballentine explains. He writes that illness begins with toxicity at the cellular level. Cellular toxicity and death progresses from the organelle stage, to the cell stage, to the organ stage.

“When a great enough number of the cells that constitute an organ die, then the organ becomes diseased.”[16]

Glyphosate and Genetic Modified Feed

Glyphosate, better known as Roundup, is a widely used herbicide in genetically modified (GM) crop cultivation. The herbicide has been shown to pose significant health risks when consumed by humans either directly or indirectly through animal meat from livestock fed GM grains like soy and corn. Depending upon soil quality, temperature and microbial activity it can have life of several months and accumulate in the animal tissue, notably fat, liver and kidneys. Studies show that the meat and organs from livestock fed on GM grains with high glyphosate residues will retrain these chemicals when consumed by humans.[17]

Robert Kennedy Jr. played a pivotal role in several groundbreaking lawsuits against Monsanto, the producer of glyphosate, and its link to cancer. He helped secure landmark verdicts, including cases where juries awarded multi-million-dollar damages to plaintiffs suffering from non-Hodgkin lymphoma after prolonged glyphosate exposure. Among the most notable victories was the case of Dewayne Johnson, a school groundskeeper who developed non-Hodgkin lymphoma after prolonged exposure to glyphosate. The jury awarded Johnson $289 million in damages (later reduced), citing that Monsanto acted with malice and failed to warn consumers of glyphosate’s carcinogenic risks. Internal company documents revealed Monsanto’s deliberate attempts to suppress scientific research and manipulate regulatory agencies. His legal efforts highlighted Monsanto’s long history of suppressing evidence and manipulating public opinion about glyphosate’s safety.[18]

In addition to non-Hodgkin lymphoma and other cancers, glyphosate has been shown to contribute to gastrointestinal disorders by disrupting the gut’s microbiome leading to dysbiosis, a condition associated with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), inflammatory bowel disease and leaky gut syndrome.[19] According to Cedars-Sinai, the prevalence of IBS has been steadily increasing in American children and adolescents. It affects approximately 10-15 percent of children largely due to diet and adverse gut microbiome alterations.[20]

The herbicide also has been shown to interfere with hormone signally pathways that may disrupt normal development and reduce fertility.[21] Approximately 10 percent of American children are affected by some type of endocrine disruption, for example impacting the onset of puberty, that is certainly associated with the abundance of environmental and dietary chemical endocrine disruptors.[22] In addition, pediatric nonalcoholic fatty liver disease has surged by 30 percent since 2020 and chronic kidney disease now affects 1 in 1,000 children. This condition too is associated with dietary toxins, glyphosate bioaccumulation, poor diets and metabolic syndromes.[23]

Similarly, animals fed on glyphosate-rich GM grains accumulate higher residues in their meat. The altered protein profiles found in GM grains can induce allergies and disrupt the gut’s flora by amplifying pathogenic bacteria.[24]

Glyphosate and GM grain-fed meat represent significant risks to human health and, therefore, highlights the urgent necessity of dietary and policy reform to improve public health. Consuming organic, non-GMO-fed animal products can mitigate exposure to glyphosate residues and their associated risks.

Pesticides…andtheLinktoOurWaterSupply

Pesticides are no small health problem. The US uses over 1 billion pounds of pesticides every year on farms, in home yards, places of business and in parks. According to the watch organization Beyond Pesticides, “UA farms used 2.6 million pounds of three neonicotinoids (neonics) on corn and soy, clothianidin, thiamethoxam, imidacloprid. Farma applied nearly 1.5 million pounds solely to animal feed production.”[25] It is estimated that over 100,000 people in the United States are subjected to pesticide poisoning annually—and not only farmers and farm workers, but a countless number of other individuals who unknowingly ingest pesticides in their daily diet. The most common pesticides contaminating meat and dairy are glyphosate, atrazine, dicamba, 2,4-D, neonicotinoids and bifenthrin.

So how many of these pesticides are we getting and where are they coming from?

For the average American’s daily pesticide intake is between 2.5-5.0 mg, which accumulates to over 1.8 grams every year.[26] Of this, about 4 mg are stored in fat tissue and can lead to toxicity symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, muscle aches, and fever. Meat advocates might object, since even vegetarians may be getting these deadly residues through plant foods. Consider, however, that when a cow consumes soybean and corn feed containing pesticide traces, much of the poison permanently settles in the animal’s fat tissue. The person who comes after and devours a T-bone from this cow is getting concentrated amounts of toxic residues. By contrast, if the pesticide-treated soybeans were eaten directly, the toxins would be much less concentrated.

A government report estimates that one-sixth of all meat and poultry eaten in the US contains “potentially harmful residues of animal drugs, pesticides or environmental contaminants.” The report goes on to note that of the nearly 200 known drugs and pesticides found in meat and poultry products, “42 are known to cause or are suspected of causing cancer, 20 of causing birth defects, 6 of causing mutations, 6 of causing adverse effects on the fetus, and others of causing similar toxic effects.”

These poisons also pollute the water supply through runoffs into lakes, streams, and rivers. This enormous leakage infiltrates “63% of rural America, [home to] some 39 million people, who are drinking water that may be unsafe,” according to TheNewFarmmagazine. This same water is given to the animals being readied for slaughter and consumption.

Moreover, further studies reveal that the beleaguered, pesticide-tainted, water- drinking population is spread across our country. Three-quarters of rural Western populations are quaffing this excessively contaminated beverage; 65% in the Southern and North-Central states; and 45% in the Northeast. To make matters worse, along with these pesticides are several other health-destabilizing substances such as the following:

Lindane: a noxious insecticide that affects the central nervous system
Mercury: known to cause kidney and neurological damage
Cadmium: a toxic metal associated with high blood pressure and kidney damage
Lead: known to damage the nervous system and kidneys
Nitrates: the chemical precursor of cancer-causing nitrosamines

After perusing these contaminants in our meat and dairy supply, we might suggest to federal health officials that they create a replacement food pyramid, upon which they highlight the “features” of the products they are selling. Instead of such categories as meats and dairy, they would have to add pesticides, dyes, antibiotics, and preservatives, too!

“Natural”Toxins

We should not ignore the possibility of bacteria getting in the meat and think of other contaminants.

Animals, like humans, continuously eliminate waste products from their tissues and cells to the surrounding blood. This natural process comes to an abrupt halt when the animal is slaughtered; the waste material then present remains intact, and we ingest it when eating its flesh. You might say that our bodies’ various organs of elimination—lungs, bladder, kidneys, sweat glands, and liver—should be adept at disposing of such wastes, but is it wise to add to their workload, which is already consumed with ridding our bodies of worn-out cells and the by-products of digestion? Our organs may well respond, if overloaded, by developing any of several degenerative diseases.[27]

There are known dangers of meat remaining for too long in the digestive tract; it begins to putrefy, which can cause noxious gas, headache and lethargy, among other symptoms. However, meat can also putrefy outside before it is consumed. Unlike fruits and vegetables, meat starts to degrade the moment the animal dies, and continues to degenerate during processing, packaging, and transportation to the market or butcher. After slaughter, a steer is sectioned and moved into cold storage. Some cuts may then be aged for a time to increase tenderness. The meat may be stored in a warehouse before finally being sent to a supermarket for packaging. Of course when it is refrigerated degeneration is slowed, but for parts of its processing time it is not kept cool.

It is important to note that for any of the time that the meat was left out of refrigeration, the bacteria were proliferating like mad. Each gram of sausage stored at room temperature for 20 hours has its live bacteria count increase by 70 million, each gram of beef by 650 million, and each gram of smoked ham by a whopping 700 million. The Michigan State University Department of Human Ecology once issued a warning that reheated food could contain the toxins of bacteria previously in food, and it warned that though cooking may kill the bacteria, the toxins could still be present.[28]

Even worse, some bacteria form spores that are not killed by cooking. Then, once the leftovers are set aside, the spores germinate and grow. The new bacteria may be strong enough to survive a second heating. Moreover, even if new bacteria do not grow, the toxins they release may stay around to inflict damage. Dr. Al Wagner of the Texas Agricultural Extension Service backs this notion by saying of certain bacteria, that “although cooking destroys the bacteria, the toxin produced is heat stable and may not be destroyed.”[29] Bacterial toxins left in meats can shut down the body’s immune response by affecting a cell mechanism essential to attacking threats such as viruses and bacteria.[30]

More than the dangers that face us through ingestion of animal products is an even greater danger—our inaction toward a healthier plant-based lifestyle that does not include a diet of animal products. Yes, there are very practical health reasons for putting an end to current factory farming practices, but every citizen has it within their own means to reduce their meat intake to lessen risks of dietary related illnesses.

Top Researchers Sound Alarm Over Heart Damage Surge in COVID-Vaccinated Children

By Frank Bergman and Dr. William Makis

A team of leading emergency pediatric medicine researchers is sounding the alarm over surging cases of heart damage in children who received Covid mRNA “vaccines.”

During a major study, the eminent Irish researchers analyzed the cases of dozens of children who had been hospitalized with heart-related problems.

Alarmingly, every single one of the children had been given at least one dose of a Covid mRNA vaccine before they were admitted to hospital.

The researchers were unable to find any such reports of heart damage among unvaccinated children.

The study was conducted over an 11-month period at the Department of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at Tallaght Hospital in Dublin, Ireland.

The findings were published in the Official Journal of the Irish Medical Organization (IMJ)

The researchers launched their study to investigate surging reports of adolescents and young children with chest pain and diagnoses of pericarditis and myocarditis.

Pericarditis and myocarditis are forms of inflammation in and around the heart muscle, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

Both disorders restrict the heart’s ability to pump blood around the body, leading to blood clots, strokes, cardiac arrest, and potentially sudden death.

The spike in cases of pericarditis and myocarditis in children started when vaccinations began for pediatric patients in Ireland.

During the study, the researchers analyzed 30 child patients, all aged between 13 and 15 years old, who had been hospitalized with pericarditis or myocarditis.

In Ireland, the Pfizer/BioNTech mRNA injection was the recommended “vaccine.”

Of the group, 23 patients were male.

The study excluded patients under the age of 12 and older than the age of 15.

All of the 30 children analyzed for the study were found to have received a Covid “vaccine.”

17 were diagnosed with pericarditis or myocarditis after the second dose of the vaccine and 13 patients suffered heart damage after just one shot.

Twenty-three boys and seven girls in that age range, all Covid-vaccinated, were hospitalized with heart damage.

Their reported symptoms include shortness of breath, chest pain, heart palpitations, and dizziness.

The study comes as experts around the world continue to raise the alarm over spikes in heart damage among the Covid-vaxxed.

In October of 2022, an Israeli doctor, Dror Mevorach, informed Pfizer the company’s Covid mRNA shot was causing myocarditis in young men.

After discovering the first case, the doctor described a “gut feeling” he had that the heart ailment was a side effect of the Pfizer shot.

The Israeli Ministry of Health told Mevorach to assemble a group of doctors and study the effects of the vaccine.

Israel keeps a nationwide surveillance system administered by the ministry.

This allowed Mevorach and his group to monitor patients who had taken the Pfizer “vaccine.”

The group found skyrocketing cases of myocarditis in young men after getting the shot.

In their study, over four hundred thousand people were vaccinated and approximately half were male.

The study found that the risk of myocarditis in “adolescent” males after the second shot was over ten times higher than in “adolescent” females.

When Mevorach informed Pfizer of the study’s findings, the company ignored him for four months until the doctor published his findings in the New England Journal of Medicine.

As Slay News recently reported, another major study, this time involving 1.7 million children, found that heart damage only appeared in children who had received Covid mRNA vaccines.

Not a single unvaccinated child in the group suffered from heart-related problems.

In addition, the researchers note zero children from the entire group, vaccinated or unvaccinated, died from COVID-19.

Furthermore, the study found that Covid shots offered the children very little protection from the virus, with many becoming infected after just 14 to 15 weeks of receiving an injection.

The 1.7 million children observed in the study were between the ages of 5 to 15 and were registered with the UK’s National Healthcare System (NHS).

The study was conducted by a team of leading UK medical doctors, epidemiologists, biostatisticians, and public health experts led by Oxford University’s Professor Colm D Andrews.

Comment by Dr. William Makis

HERE is the study:

Pfizer Vaccine May Cause Heart Inflammation in People Under 30, Leaked Study Suggests

There is so much evidence to pull the shots off the market for children 18 and under, but no politician with the guts to actually do it.

Maybe Slovakia will be the first country in the world to ban COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. I know my fellow countrymen, we don’t quit and we don’t bend the knee. Just look at me and Alberta Health Services.

The Worldwide Corona Crisis, Global Coup d’Etat Against Humanity

by Michel Chossudovsky

Michel Chossudovsky reviews in detail how this insidious project “destroys people’s lives”. He provides a comprehensive analysis of everything you need to know about the “pandemic” — from the medical dimensions to the economic and social repercussions, political underpinnings, and mental and psychological impacts.

“My objective as an author is to inform people worldwide and refute the official narrative which has been used as a justification to destabilize the economic and social fabric of entire countries, followed by the imposition of the “deadly” COVID-19 “vaccine”. This crisis affects humanity in its entirety: almost 8 billion people. We stand in solidarity with our fellow human beings and our children worldwide. Truth is a powerful instrument.”

Reviews

This is an in-depth resource of great interest if it is the wider perspective you are motivated to understand a little better, the author is very knowledgeable about geopolitics and this comes out in the way Covid is contextualized. —Dr. Mike Yeadon

In this war against humanity in which we find ourselves, in this singular, irregular and massive assault against liberty and the goodness of people, Chossudovsky’s book is a rock upon which to sustain our fight. –Dr. Emanuel Garcia

In fifteen concise science-based chapters, Michel traces the false covid pandemic, explaining how a PCR test, producing up to 97% proven false positives, combined with a relentless 24/7 fear campaign, was able to create a worldwide panic-laden “plandemic”; that this plandemic would never have been possible without the infamous DNA-modifying Polymerase Chain Reaction test – which to this day is being pushed on a majority of innocent people who have no clue. His conclusions are evidenced by renown scientists. —Peter Koenig

Professor Chossudovsky exposes the truth that “there is no causal relationship between the virus and economic variables.” In other words, it was not COVID-19 but, rather, the deliberate implementation of the illogical, scientifically baseless lockdowns that caused the shutdown of the global economy. –David Skripac

A reading of Chossudovsky’s book provides a comprehensive lesson in how there is a global coup d’état under way called “The Great Reset” that if not resisted and defeated by freedom loving people everywhere will result in a dystopian future not yet imagined. Pass on this free gift from Professor Chossudovsky before it’s too late. You will not find so much valuable information and analysis in one place. –Edward Curtin

Reino Unido creó un equipo militar para mantener a Ucrania siempre en guerra

Redacción 25 de noviembre de 2024

Importantes figuras militares de Reino Unido propusieron llevar a cabo el atentado contra el Puente de Kerch, entrenar de forma encubierta a fuerzas terroristas en la retaguardia de Rusia al estilo “Gladio” y preparar a la población británica para un descenso en el nivel de vida causado por la guerra por delegación en Ucrania.

Una camarilla de veteranos militares y de inteligencia británicos elaboraron planes para prolongar la guerra por poderes en Ucrania “a toda costa”. Convocada bajo la dirección del Ministerio de Defensa británico inmediatamente después de la invasión rusa de Ucrania en febrero de 2022, la célula se autodenominó Proyecto Alquimia. Mientras el gobierno británico saboteaba las conversaciones de paz entre Kiev y Moscú, el equipo presentó una serie de planes “para mantener a Ucrania en guerra” imponiendo “dilemas estratégicos, costos y fricciones a Rusia”.

Tras la política británica en Ucrania hay una mano oculta que ha diseñado una guerra larga y agotadora a través de operaciones encubiertas en la retaguardia. Los planes del Proyecto Alquimia abarcan todos los campos concebibles de la guerra, desde ataques informáticos hasta “operaciones discretas” y terrorismo abierto. La célula incluso presentó un plan para perseguir y desmantelar medios de comunicación independientes a través de una campaña agresiva de acoso legal y censura en línea, para obligarles a cerrar. Los planes fueron entregados en los despachos superiores de las instituciones británicas de seguridad.

Fundado por un alto funcionario del Ministerio de Defensa británico, el Proyecto Alquimia está compuesto por militares veteranos y de inteligencia unidos por un plan de guerra total de Occidente contra Rusia. Algunos han entrenado a las tropas ucranianas en tácticas de sabotaje clandestino.

Los miembros del equipo de seguridad nacional reconocen tácitamente que sus operaciones desbordan los límites de la ley británica. Por lo tanto, sugirieron que Londres debería estar “preparado para usar la ley de manera creativa” para alcanzar sus objetivos, e incluso estar dispuesto a eliminar “las restricciones legales a las operaciones inasumibles de Reino Unido” contra Rusia.

Algunas de las recomendaciones más extremas del Proyecto Alquimia ya se han implementado, a menudo con resultados calamitosos. Incluyen la propuesta del equipo de atacar el Puente de Kerch en Crimea, que provocó una escalada rusa que incluyó ataques punitivos contra la infraestructura eléctrica de Ucrania. También planearon la construcción de un ejército secreto, al estilo Gladio, de terroristas ucranianos para llevar a cabo asesinatos y sabotajes detrás de las líneas enemigas.

El primer ministro británico, el laborista Keir Starmer, cayó bajo la influencia del Proyecto Alquimia poco después de su elección en julio, cuando abrazó con entusiasmo el papel de “primer ministro en tiempos de guerra”. Sin embargo, después de prometer que apoyaría a Ucrania “hasta donde sea necesario”, se está alejando silenciosamente de esa política. En Kiev, los ucranianos piensan que sus “amigos” de Londres los metieron en un lío y no pueden o no quieren sacarlos de él.

Para los espías que se reunieron en torno al Proyecto Alquimia, cuanto más dure la guerra por delegación, más caerá la credibilidad de Putin en el país y en el extranjero y se degradará su capacidad para luchar contra la OTAN. Hoy, la táctica del Proyecto Alquimia ha fracasado claramente, ya que Putin sigue siendo popular dentro de Rusia, mientras que un ejército ucraniano en decadencia pierde territorio día a día a pesar del constante rearme por parte de Occidente. Pero los planificadores de la guerra en Londres siguen firmemente comprometidos con la escalada, negándose a archivar sus propuestas.

Una larga saga de piratas y bucaneros

El Proyecto Alquimia se fundó por orden personal del teniente general Charlie Stickland, encargado de “planificar, ejecutar e integrar operaciones militares conjuntas y multinacionales en el extranjero dirigidas por Reino Unido” como jefe del Cuartel General Conjunto Permanente. En las comunicaciones que se han filtrado Stickland se jacta de que su familia “viene de una larga línea de piratas y bucaneros”.

Stickland convocó la primera reunión del Proyecto Alquimia el 26 de febrero de 2022, pocos días después de que las tropas rusas hicieran su incursión inicial en Ucrania. Según las actas de la reunión, “una variedad de académicos, autores, estrategas, planificadores, encuestadores, comunicadores, científicos de datos y técnicos destacados” estuvieron presentes para producir un “documento de opciones generales de estrategia”.

El documento consistía en una serie de propuestas para que el gobierno británico “derrotara a Putin en Ucrania y estableciera las condiciones para la remodelación de un orden internacional abierto del futuro”. A lo largo del documento, la necesidad de “mantener a Ucrania luchando” se describía como el “esfuerzo principal” de Londres en el conflicto.

En un correo electrónico dirigido a los oficiales británicos con fecha del 3 de marzo de 2022, Stickland describió el documento como “una travesura que he estado haciendo” con un equipo de “pensadores secundarios”. Expresó su satisfacción por el hecho de que “esto ha sido visto por todo tipo de personas”, incluidos altos funcionarios del gobierno y militares británicos, “y ha tenido buena acogida”.

Un documento que enumera a los reclutas potenciales y confirmados del Proyecto, escrito por Morris, menciona a una serie de personas del sector privado y del mundo académico, junto con altos funcionarios del ejército. Morris, que actualmente es miembro del “Centro de Gran Estrategia” del King’s College, figura en el documento como “cabecilla civil”. El de “cabecilla militar” lo desempeñaría Simon Scott, un brigadier del ejército, distinguido en 2013 por sus “valientes servicios” en Afganistán.

Las operaciones de información estarían a cargo de un miembro aún por determinar de la 77 Brigada de Operaciones Psicológicas de Gran Bretaña. También figuraba como participante en las operaciones de información el veterano agente británico de guerra psicológica Amil Khan, fundador de la empresa de análisis de “contradesinformación” Valent Projects.

En 2021 el entonces Príncipe de Gales, el rey Carlos de Inglaterra, reclutó a los Valent Projects de Khan para que un influencer de YouTube atacara a los escépticos de la pandemia. Anteriormente, Khan participó en el programa del Ministerio de Asuntos Exteriores de Reino Unido para fomentar el cambio de régimen en Siria.

Un golpe palaciego en el Kremlin y luego un Plan Marshall para Rusia

Dentro de la sala de guerra encubierta del Proyecto Alquimia, la obsesión por una guerra larga se apoderó rápidamente de los miembros de la célula, que se inspiraron en un documento de políticas que Stickland atribuyó a “The Elders”, a los que describió como “un grupo de actores de Fusion”, refiriéndose al estrato de académicos y figuras de la industria de defensa con fuertes vínculos con el ejército británico.

Un documento de Alquimia redactado bajo la supervisión de Stickland y titulado “El próximo capítulo de Ucrania: documento de opciones de la gran estrategia de los ancianos”, sugiere que los miembros de la camarilla se habían convencido a sí mismos de que era inevitable un “golpe palaciego” dentro del Kremlin. Mientras Rusia tuviera problemas en Ucrania, creían, la inteligencia británica tendría “la oportunidad de desafiar” la “creciente estatura de Moscú como actor internacional competente” en la escena mundial.

“Una guerra prolongada contra un estado pequeño hace que [Putin] parezca un tonto”, afirmaba el documento. “Está obsesionado con el fin de Gadafi; querrá evitarlo […] La presión de los oligarcas aumentará a medida que se alargue una guerra prolongada; no querrá darles excusas para amenazar su autoridad”. El equipo razonó que “una guerra prolongada afectará la credibilidad internacional [de Putin]”, ya que “un fracaso en derrotar rápidamente a Ucrania reducirá seriamente […] su credibilidad ante nuevos amigos ricos en Bielorrusia, Hungría, China, India, Oriente Medio, Brasil, etc.”

“Lo más importante”, la prolongada participación rusa en Ucrania “envalentonará a la OTAN”, argumenta la camarilla. Convencidos de que Putin fracasaría en la región oriental del Donbas, lo que provocaría un colapso de su gobierno, los miembros del Proyecto Alquimia fantasearon abiertamente con absorber a Rusia en el orden financiero dominado por Occidente después bajo el disfraz de un “Plan Marshall post Putin”. De particular interés fue el “reencuentro” de Londres con Moscú “en los mercados mundiales de energía y materias primas”, una aparente referencia al deseo de Occidente de gas y trigo rusos baratos.

Una Operación Gladio para Ucrania

Para lograr la balcanización de Rusia, los miembros del Proyecto Alquimia se inspiraron en la Operación Gladio, una operación encubierta orquestada por la CIA y la OTAN que vio a paramilitares fascistas llevar a cabo ataques terroristas de falsa bandera en toda Europa Occidental después de la Segunda Guerra Mundial en un intento de evitar que el comunismo echara raíces.

Una sección que detalla las posibles “operaciones discretas” en el documento de estrategia del Proyecto Alquimia, enfatiza la “necesidad de intervenir en todos los sentidos excepto el oficial” y recomienda explícitamente “manuales de permanencia en Gladio/panfletos partisanos” que se actualizarían para la Era de la Información”.

Otro punto que el Proyecto Alquimia propuso fue desplegar tropas mercenarias “para desbancar a Wagner”. El objetivo era crear un contrapeso británico para la fuerza fundada por Prigozhin. El objetivo requería la formulación de “una nueva doctrina, concepto operativo y marco legal, para integrar eficazmente” a los mercenarios y otros actores no militares. Según estas directrices, se emplearían empresas privadas británicas capaces de utilizar “armamento sofisticado como SAMS, informático, aire de combate y drones” para “operar, entrenar y acompañar a las formaciones ucranianas”.

Se pretendía que todas estas operaciones fueran “patrocinadas y comandadas” en última instancia por el gobierno de Londres “utilizando una cobertura discreta” para no activar el artículo 5 de los estatutos de la OTAN.

Tras la elaboración de su documento estratégico, Stickland invitó a su equipo de “pensadores colaterales” a presentar más propuestas para operaciones de estilo Gladio. Entre las que se elaboraron había una para “inhabilitar el puente de Kerch de una manera audaz e interrumpir el acceso por carretera y ferrocarril a Crimea y el acceso marítimo al Mar de Azov”.

El Proyecto Alquimia también elaboró una presentación en PowerPoint titulada “Entrenamiento de una fuerza de comando ucraniana para restaurar la soberanía marítima”, que describía la formación de una fuerza de comando ucraniana de 1.000 efectivos “entrenada en Gran Bretaña por veteranos militares equipados con equipo británico” para “degradar la Armada rusa y abrir otro flanco en la lucha por Jerson y el sur de Ucrania”.

El equipo estuvo trabajando en el plan durante al menos tres meses en el momento de la presentación. “Los ucranianos en el extranjero y los voluntarios dentro de Ucrania” ya habían sido reclutados, antes de las 12 semanas de entrenamiento básico “en el uso de todas las armas de las tropas, incluidos morteros, misiles antitanque, francotiradores, asaltos desde acantilados, entrenamiento con pequeñas embarcaciones y demoliciones”, decía la propuesta.

El plan preveía la integración formal de los comandos en la Armada ucraniana. La futura fuerza “será un multiplicador de fuerza y muy móvil”, mientras que la “anticuada doctrina rusa tendrá dificultades con una fuerza naval altamente motivada y bien equipada que lleve a cabo operaciones relámpago y ataques contra Crimea”.

Además, “individuos que hablen ruso con fluidez y sean considerados aptos para operaciones encubiertas”, incluidas “operadoras femeninas”, serían “introducidas en el sur de Ucrania ocupada y Crimea para la recopilación de inteligencia y el sabotaje de objetivos clave de infraestructura”. Serían entrenados por oficiales del MI6. Para ello, el Proyecto Alquimia pidió al gobierno británico un total de 73,5 millones de libras. “El programa está en un alto estado de preparación. Estamos listos para empezar”, dijeron.

La suma debía ser pagada a Elders Services, una empresa fundada por los miembros del equipo y registrada en una dirección a sólo 24 kilómetros de Fort Monckton, que el ex oficial del MI6 Richard Tomlinson describió como “el centro de entrenamiento de operaciones de campo del SIS”.

Se desconoce cuánto dinero recibió, si es que recibió alguno, la empresa por reeditar la Operación Gladio en Ucrania. Elders Services cerró en marzo del año pasado después de menos de un año de funcionamiento, sin presentar la contabilidad.

Los espías británicos contra los medios díscolos

En Proyecto Alquimia había una sensación de que la hegemonía occidental se estaba desmoronando en las fronteras que separaban a Ucrania de Rusia. En referencia a la alianza Brics, que se reunió en Kazán en octubre para desafiar el orden financiero dominado por Estados Unidos, instaron a los dirigentes británicos a “prepararse para SWIFT II”, ya que SWIFT “iba a ser destruido” por las sanciones antirrusas de Occidente, “lenta, pero inevitablemente”.

Según el equipo, los países de todo el mundo “verían la necesidad de un medio alternativo no estadounidense” para estacionar de manera segura su efectivo y comerciar. En una rara muestra de sobriedad política, los espías británicos predijeron que las sanciones a Rusia combinadas con la guerra en Ucrania impondrían precios más altos a los bienes de consumo y “golpearían a los votantes británicos en el bolsillo”.

Eso es “una amenaza al apoyo público” a la “línea dura” del gobierno británico sobre Ucrania, advirtieron. “La opinión pública interna de Reino Unido” se “hartaría” de pagar más por los bienes de consumo diario, lo que significa que “crecería la presión para un compromiso”.

Para preparar a la población británica para la tormenta que se avecina, el Proyecto Alquimia propuso lo que describieron de forma insulsa como “operaciones de información”, pero que podrían describirse con mayor precisión como una mezcla de propaganda pública interior y ataques malignos a medios de comunicación disruptivos.

La tarea que describieron no solo incluía desmantelar la “infraestructura de desinformación rusa” presionando a las redes sociales para que prohibieran RT y Sputnik, sino también apuntar a medios independientes críticos. “Se pueden emprender varias acciones contra estos medios. La más obvia es legal, ya que el contenido de estos medios de comunicación a menudo contraviene la ley de medios en Reino Unido, Estados Unidos y la Unión Europea”, dijeron los planificadores.

“Las partes agraviadas actualmente tienden a ignorar la difamación/libelo de estos medios. Si los persiguieran agresivamente, es probable que se vieran obligados a cerrar”.

Afirmaban que hasta ahora Grayzone había logrado ocultar su financiación, lo que sugiere que el medio está financiado de forma encubierta por Rusia o algún otro estado enemigo. Las fantasías paranoicas de la inteligencia británica pueden explicar que la policía antiterrorista británica interrogara a uno de los periodistas, Kit Klarenberg, sobre el tema cuando lo detuvieron en el Aeropuerto Internacional de Luton en mayo del año pasado.

Colocar al ejército británico al frente de la guerra contra Rusia

Además de desempeñar un papel destacado en la manipulación de los medios, el Proyecto Alquimia buscó colocar a los peones del ejército británico al frente del Tribunal Penal Internacional para investigar y procesar al gobierno ruso por presuntos crímenes de guerra en Ucrania.

Londres debía crear “condiciones internacionales, mecanismos de recopilación y financiación para la recopilación de datos y pruebas” en la guerra por delegación, y brindar “todo el apoyo posible, incluida la inteligencia” al Tribunal “en sus esfuerzos por investigar los crímenes de guerra”, tal como lo hicieron los espías británicos para el Tribunal Penal Internacional para la ex Yugoslavia (TPIY).

Aunque no se los nombra en el documento, desde entonces abogados británicos de alto perfil, incluida Amal Clooney (*), están a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos para procesar a funcionarios rusos por crímenes de guerra y establecer un análogo del TPIY. El gobierno británico jugó un papel fundamental en el nombramiento del mentor de Amal Clooney, Karim Khan, como fiscal del Tribunal Penal Internacional.

Las provocadoras propuestas del Proyecto Alquimia parecen haber llegado al escritorio del primer ministro Keir Starmer de alguna forma. En la cumbre del 75 Aniversario de la OTAN, Starmer emitió un respaldo sin concesiones a los ataques profundos del ejército ucraniano contra Rusia. Haciéndose eco del lenguaje agresivo que se encuentra en los documentos del Proyecto Alquimia, se comprometió a “entregar 3.000 millones de libras esterlinas en apoyo a Ucrania cada año […] durante el tiempo que sea necesario”.

Pero a medida que la ofensiva del ejército ucraniano en la región rusa de Kursk flaquea, el gobierno de Biden se ha distanciado de los llamamientos a atacar el corazón de Rusia. Afortunadamente para los dirigentes británicos, empeñados en llevar la lucha hasta Moscú, el Proyecto Alquimia ha garantizado que siga teniendo a mano una serie de opciones no oficiales.

Como señaló en su documento de estrategia, “Reino Unido siempre busca actuar multilateralmente, pero está dispuesto a asumir una dirección unilateral cuando lograr un consenso multilateral pueda resultar una tarea que lleve mucho tiempo o resulte difícil”. Entre los patrocinadores encubiertos de la guerra, que se encontraban atrincherados a más de 1.600 kilómetros de las líneas del frente, había un acuerdo firme: “Debemos intentar a toda costa que Ucrania siga luchando”.

Un especulador quiere comprar el gasoducto NordStream para Estados Unidos

Redacción

El especulador estadounidense Stephen P. Lynch quiere comprar el gasoducto Nord Stream si se subasta en el marco del procedimiento de quiebra del operador que se sigue en Suiza, dice el Wall Street Journal (*).

Es una ganga, una oportunidad única para que Estados Unidos controle el suministro energético europeo adquiriendo la propiedad del gasoducto destruído por ellos mismos a precio de saldo.

“Un inversor estadounidense con un historial de negocios en Rusia ha pedido al gobierno de Estados Unidos que le permita ofertar por el gasoducto saboteado Nord Stream 2 si se subasta en el procedimiento de quiebra suizo”, dice el periódico.

Lynch ofrece pagar 11.000 millones de dólares y en febrero pidió al Tesoro de Estados Unidos una licencia para negociar su reparación con empresas sometidas a sanciones estadounidenses, señalando que de esa manera los buitrres podrían evitar la quiebra de la empresa operadora.

Lynch argumenta que la posesión del oleoducto daría a Estados Unidos una poderosa herramienta para negociar la paz con Rusia para resolver la Guerra de Ucrania, al tiempo que apoyaría objetivos estratégicos más amplios de Estados Unidos.

“La conclusión es la siguiente: esta es una oportunidad única para que los estadounidenses controlen el suministro de energía europeo durante el resto de la era de los combustibles fósiles”, comenta Lynch.

Por eso Estados Unidos e Inglaterra volaron el gasoducto. Europa ya está en quiebra… Europa fue destruida sin guerra.
