Russia-India Ties Strained By Abstention On UNHRC Vote

Posted on by

UPDATE

India did add an explanation that does make her abstention less than an endorsement of the expulsion of Russia.

For its part, India in its Explanation of Vote expressed dissatisfaction with the process followed for suspension even as it condemned civilian killings in Bucha. Interestingly India’s statement on Thursday had no mention of the issue of territorial integrity and sovereignty. This is the first time in the last two months that India has omitted this part.

ORIGINAL POST

Too bad that India has failed to differentiate between abstaining from voting in a move to condemn Russia, which can be seen as neutral to both parties and abstaining from voting when there is a morally and legally wrong action being taken by the vote. That was the expulsion of Russia from the UNHRC, where, before an impartial investigation of the atrocity claims had been made, the Russians were expelled, a gross and flagrant abuse of procedure.

India ought to have sided with following the rules and voted AGAINST an illicit resolution. It did not. Neither did Pakistan.

But with China friendly with Pakistan, it was natural then that Russia decided that friendship with South-Asia at large rather than with India, which brings along with her the QUAD baggage, was a better idea for the new bipolar world in which Russia is a junior partner to China. Had India sided with Russia, there was the chance for a multipolar world, with Russia and India forming the third pole. There is still a chance for that and I hope Lavrov and Putin will work toward it, but the Israeli influence in India makes it a hard go.

Apparently, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov seems to think so too:

But what was America, has now become Russia,” said Gupta. Though Moscow and New Delhi have shared a “special” relationship with elements of “nostalgia”, the former has started to hyphenate India with Pakistan, he said. “This became obvious with Lavrov’s visit,” he added.

Lavrov first visited India and then Pakistan and his statements in both countries were markedly different, explained Gupta. While in Pakistan, Lavrov said Russia sees Pakistan as an “important friend”, seeks to continue exercises called ‘friendship druzhba’ and is willing to supply Pakistan high-tech or specialised military equipment to fight terrorism.

Asked about a potential security agreement between Russia and China at a press conference in India, earlier this week, Lavrov denied it but referred to alliances like the “Asia NATO” as disruptive, said Gupta. “That was a platitudinous statement… you know that he was turning the knife a little bit into India,” he added.

After Russia, India Will Be Next

From India Today an interview with a Donetsk spokesman:

EB: If the goals adopted by the President of the Russian Federation [Vladimir Putin] are not implemented, that of demilitarisation and denazification, the situation will be similar to that of India and Pakistan and India and China.

This question should be solved right now. (On a lighter note) If even 5% of your (Indian) population comes to help us, we will win and this will be over.

There is an attempt by Western forces in Ukraine to destroy the Russian Federation. They will not stop at that. India will be next because it has similar problems — territorial, language, faiths, etc.

I am not asking India to blindly follow and help us. You can help in many ways. The neutral stance at the UN Security Council is helpful as well.

IT: There are accusations of war crimes by the Donetsk and Russian forces against civilians. What is your response?

EB: War crimes started in 2014. Everyone has heard about it. I am not just talking of the summer of 2014 when whole cities were shelled by Ukraine. Nobody from Ukraine called that a war crime — not the UN, not human rights, not even other international organisations or foreign journalists.

Suddenly in 2022, war crimes against civilians are making headlines.

Let’s go back to Indian history. Was anybody from the British Army charged for war crimes committed in India? Someone accused Japan of massacring 2,00,000 people. But nobody recalls that. They need pictures only to accuse Russia.

IT: We still need a direct answer on the accusations of war crimes committed by your forces and the Russian forces.

EB: I decline to respond. Why should I prove my innocence to someone when it is true. I am scared there will be more bloodshed in the future. There are accusations of using chemical and biological weapons. Should we keep explaining ourselves? It is simpler to go there and expose the lies.

We will go in and bring foreign journalists to show them the truth. We should respect ourselves.

IT: India has taken a neutral stand by abstaining from voting at the UN Security Council but has also added in its statement the need to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of nations.

EB: Why do they think that the Russian Federation attacked and invaded Ukraine? I live here in this territory (Donetsk, Donbas) and everything happened in front of my eyes. The Ukrainian Army came here and started to kill my people. It is our war.

The situation was forcibly brought to the head and then they started saying that Russia is an invader and is only here to capture.

We don’t want to let go of our faith, language, our lifestyle and our history. It is not about Russian aggression. It was what the foreign media portrayed to destroy Russia.”

In recent days there has been considerable pressure applied against India to take a stronger stance in favor of US/NATO. The US has even warned of severe consequences if India continues to remain neutral. The Donetsk spokesman’s interview is welcome, especially in India Today, for providing an opposing view.

For myself, I do not understand how so-called international bodies are said to be rules-based when their every action involves arm-twisting and bending and breaking rules for their own side or using them to hit the other side over the head. What is to be gained by trying to stay cozy with such an order? Nothing. One doesn’t talk to Nazis, as the Russians have said.

On the Saker blog,  I mentioned the comprador elites in India, who would prefer to side with the West, as that is where they themselves go to study, to shop, and to invest.

I see that the Saker himself has mentioned them today.

But I want to make a further point.  Can’t the criticism about the comprador class also apply to people in the West?

Indeed, doesn’t it apply to bloggers and activists themselves, who are so zealous to self-censor and comply with every unjust and self-interested speech code, simply to gain visibility or networks or access to sell their products and books?

Is this not equally reprehensible? You would sell out the truth and those who are telling the truth so easily, yet you wish large countries with  the responsibility to take care of millions, if not billions, of people living close to the edge, to throw away their ability to feed themselves? But you yourself do not abandon thinking of your mouths and bellies first of all.

An aside:

My great grand uncle fought in World War II. He was taken POW by the Japanese and managed to escape. Then he made the long walk back through Burma into India. Along the way he was forced to eat snakes and insects to survive. As a child, I heard from my mother, his grand-niece, tales about Japanese torture. About skulls piled up in the prison camps.  The Japanese ate many Indian soldiers.

The Indian contribution to both World Wars has also been erased.

In this post, however, it is the erasure of history and memory, not simply by states or elites, but by ourselves, voluntarily, that concerns me. So-called activists, self-styled truth-tellers, are so quick to condemn the state and the elites for what they do, when they do it everyday, all day long, themselves.

 

Blood-Stains Prove Rey Rivera Was Murdered

Posted on by

An old story resurfaces. I was one of the first to blog about Rey Rivera’s death, in 2008, a year and a half after his body was found in the Belvedere hotel ball-room in downtown Baltimore.

I spoke with Stephen Janis, the intrepid Baltimore crime-reporter turned professor, who told me about the heavy pressure being brought to bear on his paper at the time to keep quiet about it. The same thing was repeated to me by people at Johns Hopkins University, where people had been told not to talk about the murder.  I dug down a bit and pulled up a wild tale of gold, fraud, and murder, dating back a couple of decades. There was a Russian[Judaic/Khazar] mafia connection, it seems. I watched with interest as all sorts of  obfuscating websites sprang up around the case, many of which seemed to have only the goal of muddying what happened and tarring by association anyone nosing around.  I was warned not to look into the case, and, to tell the truth, as I can pretty much make a good guess as to what happened, I lost interest. But being a true crime aficionado, I have watched with satisfaction as Rey Rivera’s case got a national audience. First, it was from a rather thin but well-regarded book by a lady who lived in the Belvedere at the time; then it was from the Netflix movie which I’m told didn’t include important evidence; and now from Ms. Moya’s work, which, once and for all, puts an end to the disinformation about how his body got through the roof.

No, he wasn’t dumped from a helicopter.

 

Russian Nuclear Sub Surfaces Undetected Off US Coast

Posted on by

Pravda.ru

According to NetEase publication, Russian nuclear submarine of the Borey project (according to other sources, it was an Akula project submarine), approached the US coast unnoticed. It was possible to establish the whereabouts of the nuclear submarine with up to 160 nuclear warheads on boards after the sub started going back to the base. A submarine of this class is capable of destroying most of the territory of the United States of America in minutes.

Russian nuclear submarines will be able to constantly patrol the waters near the US coast in the event that Russia decides to build a naval base in Cuba or Venezuela, as representatives for the Russian Foreign Ministry earlier said.

DeepFake AI: Was Moschun Mapped Onto Bucha?

Posted on by

UPDATE

Bucha was the headquarters of General Nikolai Vatutin, who was the leader of the Red Army forces that liberated Kiev from the Nazis. Vatutin was fought by the Ukrainian Insurgent Army [UPA] organized by Stepan Bandera, the popular but controversial figure, who associated with the Nazis. Vatutin died from wounds received in battle with the UPA and there is an ongoing dispute between Ukraine and Russia about the memorial to him in Kiev and where his ashes are buried.

UPDATE

Today, I read that a car caught fire and the driver died after crashing into the gate of the Russian embassy in the Romanian capital……which would be BUCHAREST….

An odd coincidence…or not.

ORIGINAL POST

Think about the language.
MOSCHUN….visually similar to MOSCOW…..
where the deepfake video might have been made when the Ukrainians took it back from the Russians around March 24.

Then, they picked BUCHA, close by, and with a resonant name, similar visually to Buchenwald, and similar aurally to Butchery, Butcher and Bucha [Ukrainians for outcry].

Interestingly, the Ukrainians then called in a Holocaust expert to proclaim that Bucha was a genocide…reinforcing the Buchenwald association again.

The expert is a Ukrainian-born Israeli citizen Eugene Finkel. This will ensure that influential Jewish lobbies everywhere will pressure their governments to intervene. Use- the-Jews is the cynical name of the game and the Ukies are using it to deflect attention from the non-fake fact that Jews [Zelenksy, Kolomoisky, Soros etc.] and Nazis [Azov et al.] are actually collaborating here in the Ukraine and in NATO and the US.

The same logic applies to the international press given a Holocaust survivor allegedly killed during Russian shelling of Kharkhiv. I suppose I should tack on alleged to practically everything in this war of lies.

All these associations are calculated to hit emotionally at global audiences. This is psychological warfare, not at the Russians, who can see through it, but at the domestic population.

A subliminal association of MOSCOW with BUTCHERY and the HOLOCAUST is set up.  Ordinary Jews get triggered and Jewish lobbies campaign furiously to intervene.

We’ve been here before how many times?

Deepfake AI can be used to manipulate satellite imagery and map one location onto another so the falsification is practically invisible to a layman.

Bucha Video Recorded At Moschun; Corpses Not Recent

Posted on by

Telesur reports that the bodies in the video footage, when examined by a human rights veteran from Donbas, show evidence of being older than claimed. The condition of the blood and the skin show that the victims died earlier, when Ukrainians troops occupied the area. This report supports the Russian claim that the Bucha videos were made by the Ukrainians themselves at a town called Moschun.

The defense spokesman, Major General Igor Konashénkov, said that “on the afternoon of April 4, the troops of the 72 information and psychological operations center carried out in the town of Moschun, 23 kilometers northwest of kyiv, another staging filming civilians allegedly killed by Russian forces and then broadcast the video in Western media.

Konashenkov added that the Ukrainian security services are making similar setups these days in Sumi, Konotop and other cities.

The village of Moschún, with less than a thousand inhabitants, is located in the same district as Bucha, the scene of the alleged massacre of hundreds of civilians that the Russian Defense Ministry describes as a “staged montage” to discredit Russia.

Moschun was one of the towns that Ukraine was supposed to have taken back from the Russians around March 24.

 

 

Solve Et Coagula: Globalists Stir World-Wide Witch’s Brew

Posted on by

Recall the words of Archbishop Vigano, last August, in which he summed up the warnings of the wise over decades, and indeed centuries: what we face today in the 4th industrial revolution/Great Reset is not merely a remaking of the world order, but a refashioning of a new man.

To that end, provocation is heaped upon provocation in country after country:

DNA Exclusive on foreign interference in the crises in Pakistan and Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, pandemic lockdowns destroyed tourism and crashed the country’s forex reserves, while green zeal to use only organic fertilizers put the finishing touches on the economy, sending food prices soaring and necessitating imports of even food and essentials. Restructuring of IMF loans is on the table, while indebtedness to China continues. Long power cuts and massive shortages of fuel and food are wide-spread. Millions are starving.  India has sent organic fertilizers and aid, extended a line of credit, and deferred payments due under its Neighbor First policy.

No genocide inquiry has been launched.

Afghanistan is considered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, following decades of war and instability. Millions are starving and/or are refugees. Over 24 million need aid. This follows on wars conducted by the Soviets, the Americans, and the Taliban.

No genocide inquiry has been launched.

Pakistan’s military denies that the US was involved in a foreign conspiracy to topple Imran Khan, embarrassing the President. But they would, wouldn’t they, given their decades-long covert involvement with US intelligence. Meanwhile, Khan has dissolved the National Assembly after dismissing a no-confidence motion, and is calling for fresh elections. Instability reigns in this nuclear-armed state.

Around 2 millions people in the Pakistan-Sindh area are in danger of malnutrition and starvation due to a food crisis caused by the pandemic and the lock-downs. No genocide inquiry has been opened.

A two-month truce interrupts 7 years of Saudi war on Yemen, creating one of the biggest humanitarian crises on the planet.

18 million Yemenis are at risk of starvation.

No genocide inquiry has been launched against Saudi Arabia.

Bucha Genocide Likely False-Flag By Ukrainian Nazis

Posted on by

Update: Pentagon unable to confirm or deny Bucha and Biden unwilling to call it a genocide.

Update:

Just saw this on twitter:

Anton Troianovski
@antontroian
NYT analysis of satellite imagery shows at least 11 of the bodies seen on a street in Bucha in an April 2 video had been on the street since March 11 — when Russian forces occupied the town

 

Veterans Today:

Denying the spurious and unsubstantiated allegations of purported war crimes and genocide by Russian troops, Russia’s chief investigator Alexander Bastrykin, head of the Russian Investigative Committee, ordered a probe be opened on the basis that Ukraine had insidiously spread “deliberately false information” in order to malign Russia’s month-long military campaign in Ukraine.

In addition, Russia has requested a United Nations Security Council meeting on April 4 over purported war crimes by Russian forces in Ukraine’s Bucha, Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy said on Sunday.

“In light of the Ukrainian radicals’ provocation in Bucha, Russia has requested a meeting of the United Nations Security Council on Monday, April 4,” he wrote on his Telegram channel. “We will unmask Ukrainian provocateurs and their Western patrons.”

The Russian defense ministry said earlier on Sunday that all Russian troops had left the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region as far back as March 30, while the “evidence of crimes” surfaced four days later, when Ukrainian security forces and allied ultra-nationalist militias arrived in the city.

As Larry Johnson points out, there were white arm-bands on the dead bodies, indicating that the corpses were Ukrainians not antagonistic to the Russian army. Now why would the Russians kill them? It stands to reason that people who might do that would be the Nazi ultra-nationalists, the Azov and the rest.

Biden says, “butcher, butcher,” “war criminal, war criminal,” like a tom-tom…it’s been in the headlines for days, getting people geared up.

Next thing you know, there are open graves, bodies with nooses. Nooses would evoke the racial hangings and lynchings of the past, which would be something people in the US would react to.

The town is called Bucha…a word evocative on so many levels, as I mentioned in the previous post. Butcher, Buchenwald, Bucha.

It didn’t happen coincidentally. It’s been concocted that way.

Think. Why would Russia do something like this now? And why wouldn’t Ukraine?

Pepe Escobar: Bucha Is False-Flag

Posted on by
Pepe forgot Buchenwald…..
which would be a major bell-ringer for the thoroughly brainwashed, historically illiterate, public-school indoctrinated professional class in the West…but, hopefully, the masses who read the internet have figured this out already.
Also, Bucha means “loud noise” or “outcry” in Ukrainian....
So, yes, with all those resonances, I would say this fits the mold for propaganda.

Pepe Escobar
@RealPepeEscobar
So the inevitable, major false flag turns out to be “The New Srebenica” in Bucha. Bucha-Butcher-Butchery-Boucher-Boucherie. Works on 2 top Western languages. Peddled by a Murdoch rag. Will be in synch on ALL Western front pages tomorrow.
