Russia: It’s No Longer Just About Ukraine

Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov, after discussions in Antalya with the Turkish and Ukrainian foreign ministers,  March 10, 2022:

We have realised that the point at issue is not Ukraine at all. It is an aggression against all things Russian – interests, religion, culture, language, security, etc. The West’s furious reaction to our actions demonstrates that this is a life and death struggle, a struggle for Russia’s right to be on the political map of the world with full respect for its legitimate interests.

Ukraine War Updates: Drugs, Sanctions, Students, Cauldrons

Latest developments:

1. India may be sanctioned by the US for buying weapons from Russia, following her neutral position on the UN vote condemning Russia

2. Labs making combat drugs, including captagon, have been found in Mariupol, suggesting that the reckless and stupid defiance of the Ukie army and its president might be drug fueled. Captagon has been used by ISIS. I saw two videos of Zelensky supposedly high on alcohol or drugs, but in both he could just have been exhausted. However, it was Zelensky himself who challenged Poroshenko in the presidential campaign a few years ago on the issue and then when Poroshenko publicly took and passed a drug test,  Zelenksy backed out and only tested himself later at a clinic owned by a friend. Poroshenko then used the drug charge against Zelensky in the campaign, from where Putin picked it it up. So there seems to be some truth to the charge.

3. Indian students trapped at Mariupol and planning to march on foot to the Russian border carrying Indian flags have deferred the march after the Government of India advised against it.

Video of Putin charging the Ukrainians with holding hostage citizens and students, especially Indian students.

4. The Russians have total control of the skies over Ukraine and are now closing off several cauldrons [encirclements] on the grounds, cutting off the Ukie army from reinforcements

5. The Atlanticists are so desperate, they have decided to cut off Russia from all internet services of all kinds, very likely including cloud services. As with the economic sanctions, which probably had less of an impact on Russia than was hoped and have since been back tracked by France, there is likely going to be back tracking on this too.

6. The issue of US funded and supported biological weapons labs in the Ukraine is backed by opposition members in Ukraine, although US outlets continue to dismiss it as conspiracy theory.

How do you expect the Russians to rise up against Putin, if they don’t know what’s going on and can’t communicate with each other?

What happens to all the Western companies doing business in Russia or to all the other people doing business with us who have ties with Russia?

Whom do you suppose all that will affect?

What is the point of bringing Putin down, if you also bring down the EU and America?

Or is that the whole point and Putin just the pretext?

Who wants a global reset?

Who profits from chaos and restructuring?

 

 

We Won The Victory We Needed

At Affirmative Right, I find confirmation for my own view that the past few months have NOT been a defeat, but the only possible victory the right could have had in the circumstances: the awakening of the mass of right-leaning and many centrist voters to the truth about politics in the USA:

It is unfixable by more politics.

So let’s move onto a brighter side of the blackpill: its tendency to turn, once properly digested, into a whitepill. Or, at least, into something more colourful than a blackpill. 

The whitepill is that the Alt-Right has won a victory against the regime. It has done so at a heavy cost – some of its number are imprisoned, some persecuted, some bankrupted, some humbled, some discredited – and at the price of its own dissolution as a coherent movement. But all the same, it has won its victory – not the victory that it wanted, but the victory that it needed.
To understand this, you must be blackpilled enough to know that those in power have won nothing that they did not already possess. No, they did not just stage a revolution and overthrow the American Constitution. I know the brains of democrats pass through the waters of Lethe every election cycle, but surely we can cast our minds back a mere four years. Surely we can recall how Trump was elected to the executive in a landslide, how his party initially controlled the legislature too, how he eventually managed to appoint one-third of the top-level judiciary – and how he still got nothing done.
The permanent government that gelded Trump, and now represses his supporters, has never once left power since it was established in the early 20th century. To all intents and purposes, it is a totalitarian state overlaid by a ceremonial elected government. It permits no legal path to its own overthrow (like, duh), and has defeated or co-opted every popular challenge to its power, from McCarthyism to Reaganism to Trumpism. It has also reproduced its basic form throughout all its foreign satrapies – so everyone in the West lives under the same system, or else is having it forced upon them right now.
So what is the Alt-Right’s victory? To have exposed this permanent government to public view. It did so unknowingly, in a fit of inchoate defiance, like Truman veering off-script on the set of his show – not so much exposing the power structure, as prompting it to react to unpredictable moves and expose itself in the process. 
But now that it has done so, millions of people can now see – or at least suspect – that the media is lying, elections are rigged, conservatism is a toy-opposition party, progressivism is a pro-government astroturf movement, and that freedom, progress, tolerance, etc. are Orwellian paradoxes. That is why the regime must seek its security in the tools of hard power. Contrary to appearances, its position behind its stormtroopers is much weaker than it was when it could hide in plain sight – and leave its subjects to consume the fake news, blow off steam at the ballot box, and rationalise every facet of its misrule through democratic religious casuistry.
But to repeat: this is the victory that the Alt-Right needed, not the victory that it wanted. And as a movement half in hock to democratic lies, it is at once the victor and the victim. All its own fantasies of victory – capturing the conservative party, winning a landslide election, smashing the Left off the streets, exposing a cabal of shadowy evildoers, storming the temple of government – have been played out as farce, and revealed to be tragically futile.”

Charles Burris Calls It Quits At LRC

Update: [March 16, 2022]

Thankfully, Mr. Burris has been resurrected at LRC, where he can continue his zealous education of those with eyes wide shut.

ORIGINAL POST

The conclusion of yet another internecine spat [see here and here and here] at Lew Rockwell results in the departure of Charles Burris, whose writings were more historically informed and  parapolitics-wise than that of many of his colleagues.

I didn’t agree with some of Mr. Burris’ posts, especially ones in which he touted the “Camp of the Saints” while on every other day professing that collectivism of any kind was anathema to libertarianism. I marveled at the cognitive dissonance.

On the other hand, he was fascinated by the Kennedy assassination, power-elite analysis and conspiracy, and wasn’t  a purist too good for the real world, as many of his confreres are.

His support for Governor Noem was the hill on which his blogging life ended. I daresay the angels didn’t like his support for Marjorie Taylor Greene either.

But I did.

I went through something similar while commenting at Robert Wenzel’s site where I often had a pack of libertarians nipping at my ankles and howling at alleged “authoritarianism” or “statism” …terms they  hardly seemed to understand…but used more or less as imprecations whenever someone adopted a position not considered kosher by the libertarian, er, collective..Rothbard cultists…Mises mob…. whatever you choose to call it.

Ah well. I too have ended up tending my garden.

A literal one.

While the curs still waste their efforts circling and nipping at some other poor sod’s socks, my angel mist bamboo has gone from 15 feet to over 40.

Two wind-burned royal poinciana saplings that I wrestled onto the back of a pickup have spread their parasols over the roof of the house and their writhing shade over the blazing sidewalk.

My oyster shell mulch has bleached and crumbled almost to beach sand in the yard.

I quadrupled more than quintupled my investment in money terms and I gained something priceless while doing it, something which still seems to elude so many people on the web:

Perspective.

A sense of proportion.

Thank you for your well-researched writing at LRC, Mr Burris.

 

 

Rehabbed Animals Slaughtered For Permit Violation

Proving that environmentalism is the religion that puts animals ahead of human beings but isn’t much about animals either, a government agency slaughtered all the animals living at a unique Michigan family farm that had saved countless animals lives for decades.

The agency said it was because the owner did not have the necessary permit.

“Folks in her community say that [owner] Hall has saved countless animals over the years and has provided a much needed service in the absence of a Michigan Licensed Rehabilitation facility. However, a warrant was issued for her arrest last week because the government forces people like Hall to pay them first before rescuing animals.

Hall explained she has done this for years and she was known for providing her service. However, she says when an employee was caught stealing from her farm, that person became upset and lodged a false complaint with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) in Petoskey.

After the complaint was lodged, Kei Ju Farm was raided by DNR agents who served her with an arrest warrant. The charge was for holding wild animals in captivity without permit.

“That Thursday, the DNR rolled in with four trucks. They knew exactly where all the animals were,” Hall said.

Unfortunately, the arrest warrant wasn’t the only thing these DNR agents brought. They also brought their guns and began killing all the animals Hall had been rehabilitating.”

JFK Assassination Obsession Unique To Libertarians?

Says Charles Burris.

Uh no, Mr. Burris,

I’ve been fascinated by it a long time….and aware that it was not the DEEP STATE but the NWO elites using their tool Johnson who assassinated Kennedy.

Left liberals who worship Kennedy are the premier group obsessed with the Kennedy assassination…….

Because they want to retain the myth of Camelot and understand how it was taken away from them.

Christians or conservatives don’t usually care much for Kennedy in the first place …or for Camelot…and place the cementing of control of the NWO much earlier, some with FDR, others earlier, with Wilson.

Libertarian analysis of this conspiracy ends up mythologizing Kennedy even more, which is hardly something a cultural conservative would want to do.

Besides, the whole analysis of the NWO COMES from Christian writers from a century and more back; their  ideas were imported, repackaged and reattached to a variety of non Christian writers whose view points were more consonant with that of the elites than Christianity.

I have patiently read through a good bit of the Christian literature on the subject and that’s where it emerges.

Still way ahead of you.

Libertarianism is a decent framework for contemporary politics. And any rationalization aka ideology that you can dream up for it after the fact.

It is not a particularly convincing framework to tackle anything else.

The teachings of Christ and the teachings of Murray Rothbard or Mises are incompatible in anything more than a superficial or temporary way.

They provide good cover for Christians who are embarrassed to profess Christianity publicly because it undermines their standing in academic and intellectual circles.

But to be a friend of this world is to hate Christ.

And to love Christ is to hate this world.

Just as one might be what is deemed a great patriot or freedom fighter and even highly moral, for conducting espionage on behalf of your own country, hacking other people’s private information, or perhaps, even more dreadfully, seducing a honey pot on behalf of the white hats, the fact is you cannot be a follower of Christ and do it.

At least, you might do it, but you would not be proud of it. You would look at it as an evil necessity and eat bread and water and flagellate yourself until the stink of it in your soul was gone. And even then you would shudder at the moral AIDS you had contracted and know that your spiritual health had been forever compromised.

Your seduction puts you only one step away from the sexual torturers of Abu Ghraib, who likewise instrumentalized their own genitals into weapons of war. They were uneducated youngsters, with  no one to tell them better. What is your excuse?

That is what undercover operations in the James Bond vs. Pussy Galore genre mean….they reduce genitals into weapons at the level of a Venus fly trap, and transform the human into the insect world.

But a vast number of people go along with such things, because we have all been conditioned by movies in the Cold War genre to accept that white and black hats differ only in their ends, not in the means they employ.

But that is ultimately as soul destroying a belief as the esoteric philosophies that were for many years my own temptation. Very likely more destructive.

Coming out of Babylon involves much greater effort than changing the color of the flag under which we do battle….libertarian or liberal or progressive…

Or American or Russian or Chinese.

It means fighting only for the cross, which is Christ.

Known to the secular world as Truth……

Not for an ideology.

 

 

 

 

 

Trump Supports Q-Loving Georgia Rep

Josh Marshall from the influential left-liberal blog Talking Points Memo thinks that this tweet makes Greene the most important Republican representative and practically untouchable, despite her espousal of what the media mocks as “conspiracy theories,” among them, those spread by “Q”.

CCP Destroying All Religious Books, Especially Christian

The Epoch times:

As the communist regime is escalating its restrictions on religious publications, those in the printing industry are left in distress. A sales department manager in Luoyang City, Henan Province, told Bitter Winter in September 2020 that printing of religious materials, “especially Christian,” is not allowed.

Anyone who takes on such orders breaks the law and might be put into prison. This is the line that we absolutely can’t cross,” the manager said, according to the report.

The authorities also conduct thorough checks to make sure that the businesses are adhering to the rules.

“They checked my storehouse, scrutinized all records, and even looked at paper sheets on the floor, to see if they have prohibited content,” said a printing house manager in the same city.

“If any such content is found, I’ll be fined, or worse, my business will be closed. Any religious content makes the issue political, not religious. Although banners on the streets say people are allowed religious beliefs, the only faith they can practice freely is that in the Communist Party,” he added.

Mike Flynn’s Brother To Command US Army Pacific Forces

Charles Flynn, brother of former National Security Advisor, General Mike Flynn, recently made a 4 star general, was appointed to lead US Pacific forces.

Despite initial denials, DOD has confirmed that Charles Flynn WAS in the room when the DC police chief called in to request the assistance of the National Guard during the Capitol protest on January 6 and when one or more of those officers present discussed the optics of such a move.

The fact that Flynn’s brother had earlier called for a limited military redo of the fraudulent election and was known to be a supporter of the enigmatic insider called Q or, incorrectly, QAnon, whose cryptic “drops” called for a second American revolution, concerned some DOD officials, it’s reported.
While Mike Flynn and another brother Joseph, as well as sister, Barbara Redgate, are Q sympathizers, it’s not clear where Charles’ sympathies lie. Still, the fact that he was appointed to a top post indicates that while Q may be a ‘terrorist’ to some and  FBI cointelpro to the likes of Reuters, his sympathizers are in favor in the military.

Fake News Claims Nameless Frenchman Funded Capitol Protest

Probably in an attempt to create a counter-narrative to the massive globalist coup that stole the election for Joe Biden, the mainstream media has come up with a story that one inflammatory speaker at the Capitol protest, Nick Fuentes, was funded by “dark money,” including a $500,000 contribution in BitCoin from a 35 year old French computer programmer, who wanted to leave his money to people and causes he believes in, and so sent it in BtC to Fuentes largely, but also to various Alt Right groups, including anti-immigration groups like VDare and others, such as,the Unz Review…

The Unz Review and VDare are part of the mainstream “dissent” category and that itself suggests a bogus story, besides the convenient fact that the computer programmer has now supposedly committed suicide and his obituary, even in a Google web cache has been wiped clean. Google. Uh huh.

We are to take this claim at face value, but affidavits,IP addresses, captured packets of data, images from hardware, statistical analysis…all the mountain of evidence behind Italygate and StoptheSteal is pure guff, outlandish conspiracy, and alternative reality.

Yes, the real foreign interference is not the documented mega- hack by Iranians, Chinese, NATO members and others, directed by the transnational climate-change cabal, but this  BTC- loving corpus-ex-machina.

See, this is why I oppose cryptocurrencies and any amateurish encryption.

At least, if you stick to your own credit-card, a check- book, paper receipts and cash, there is a trail you can use to prove you were framed. If you play around with BTC and VPNs, anyone can pin anything on you…

What’s the real story? I haven’t got deep into this, but I wouldn’t be surprised if some globalist/cabal affiliated group sent money to the Trump protest through these controlled opposition groups.

The reliable and shrewd Mish Shedlock thinks it was stolen money...which is again quite possible with untraceable cryptocurrencies.

At the very least, the whole story is extremely odd.
