West’s Hybrid War On Ethiopia Via WHO/UN Agencies Intended To Contain China, Russia

Andrew Korybko, an American analyst in Moscow, describes the role of the West in destabilizing Ethiopia by uncritically supporting the Tigre Rebels [TPLF] – a former leader of which is the current WHO chief and Gates/Clinton Foundation front Tedros, who has promoted the Tigre rebels even while in office .

Selectively focusing on one humanitarian crisis in the area while ignoring others preceding it for strategic and political reasons is the same modus operandi the West has used  in  Ukraine.

Ethiopia has come under unprecedented pressure from the U.S. ever since it commenced a military operation in its northern Tigray Region last November. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ordered the armed forces to respond to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which used to be the most powerful faction of the former ruling party, after it attacked a military barracks. Addis Ababa now officially considers the TPLF to be a terrorist group. It fell out with PM Abiy after initially facilitating his rise to power as a result of disagreements over his fast-moving socio-political reforms……..

….The U.S. and its allies claim that Ethiopia is carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Tigray, which Addis Ababa, of course, denies. This set the basis upon which the U.S. began to sanction the country. The first sanctions were imposed in late May to target Ethiopian officials as well as some of their Eritrean allies who, the U.S. claimed, were supporting them in their military campaign. The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) pulled out of Tigray a month later in June, claiming that this unilateral move would facilitate the international community’s relief efforts in the war-torn region that had attracted so much global attention.

The conflict did not end, however, but actually expanded. The TPLF felt emboldened to invade the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara, parts of which it continues to occupy. Addis Ababa suspected that the group was receiving various equipment and other forms of support under the cover of UN aid shipments. It also accused the TPLF of manipulating international perceptions about the region’s humanitarian crisis in order to generate more support and increase pressure on the Ethiopian government. PM Abiy published an open letter to U.S. President Joe Biden last month, urging him to reconsider his country’s policy towards the conflict…….

This American hybrid war on Ethiopia is waged in various ways that deserve further study. They closely resemble the American hybrid war on Syria in the sense that the U.S. is using humanitarian pretexts to justify meddling in the country’s internal affairs. Its motivations to backstab its regional ally are entirely self-interested and zero-sum. The U.S. is uncomfortable with PM Abiy’s geopolitical balancing between Washington and Beijing. Although the former TPLF-led government was also close to China, the U.S. likely expected PM Abiy to distance Ethiopia from it, considering the pressure that Washington exerts upon its partners to do so…….

This leads to the next motivation for the American Hybrid War on Ethiopia, which is to return the TPLF to power there, if not in a national capacity, then at least in its home region….

…..The U.S. “humanitarian imperialism”, as one can now call its policy against Ethiopia, is very pernicious. It focuses solely on the humanitarian crisis in the Tigray Region while ignoring the ones that the TPLF caused in the neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. This policy also manipulates perceptions about the situation in Tigray in order to delegitimize PM Abiy, the ENDF and the political cause of national unity that they are fighting for. The purpose is to encourage more members of the international community to pressure Ethiopia to the point where it finally feels compelled to politically capitulate. This policy, however, has proven to be counterproductive.”

From Andalou Agency.com:

“The Tigray conflict has motivated the West to exert pressure and thereby control Ethiopia that aspires and have been pursuing an independent foreign policy,” he said.

He said the US and Europe are concerned about the growing influence of China and that looks like the reason behind pressuring Ethiopia.

“Chinese direct investment (FDI) in Ethiopia had reached US$4 billion and bilateral trade had grown to $5.4 billion,” he added.

At the UNSC, Beijing vetoed the US and European resolution aimed at sanctioning and condemning Ethiopia over the Tigray crisis.

He said both countries (China and Ethiopia) were well aware of the motive and have been now upgrading their political relations by conducting a higher-level political meeting.

“The pressure is pushing Ethiopia to find trustworthy friends in the form of China, Russia, and other developing nations. Africa must embrace the new world order and resist humiliating western demands,” said Wuhibegzer.”

 

Israeli Jews Taking Over Christian, Muslim Holy Sites In Jerusalem

 From Keghart.com  h/t to Lew Rockwell,

In an Israeli attempt to fight the Christian presence on the Palestinian territories and deny Christians their rights and status in Jerusalem, the Israeli Nature and Parks Authority sought to implement a settlement project by expanding the Jerusalem Walls Park on church lands, located near the walls of the Old City of Jerusalem.

The move was seen as an attempt to encroach on east Jerusalem by expanding Jewish residential and archaeological projects at the expense of Muslim and Christian sites and sanctities in the city. The plan was widely condemned by church heads who sought to garner international support to oppose Israeli plans, since they were seen as a deliberate attack on the Christians of Jerusalem.”

The Jewish ethnostate shows its true colors and its racist intolerance of any other religion or culture than its own.

Tafkaji pointed out that “the area that was declared as a park within Israel’s settlement plan is not Israeli. The park’s project is an implementation of the Henry Kendall zoning plan that was established before 1948 for the city of Jerusalem, which aims to make the western slopes of the Mount of Olives green areas that prevent Palestinian construction on them, whether these constructions are affiliated with Palestinian Muslims or Christians.”

He explained that “the targeted area includes large [Christian sites] such as the Church of All Nations, the Chapel of the Ascension, the Armenian Monastery and the Kidron Valley, which is considered one of the sacred valleys for Christians, as it separates the Mount of Olives and the city of Jerusalem. Christians believe Jesus crossed this valley more than once.”

Tafkaji indicated that “the city of Jerusalem is considered one of the most sacred areas for Christians who perform pilgrimage on the Way of the Cross, then head to the Church of the Holy Sepulcher, and finally to the Church of the Ascension. The Israeli plan is to end the Christian and Islamic presence in Jerusalem.”

In December 2020, the Church of All Nations, which is one of the oldest historical churches in east Jerusalem, was subjected to an arson attempt when an extremist settler set a fire inside the church. Some of the church’s seats and floor were damaged, but the fire was quickly controlled before it could destroy the church.”

Remember that the Muslim and Christian Palestinians who live there have lived there for thousands of years and some may actually descend from the Jews of Jesus’ time. On the other hand, the vast majority of Jews in Jerusalem are converts from Europe, America and elsewhere, who are essentially settlers and colonialists in the land. It would be as if a group of white American Hare Krishna converts from California traipsed into Haryana, cleared out the local Indian Hindus, grabbed the temples, and then declared a Hindu Rashtra, in which they were declared the direct descendants of the Pandavas  and everyone else a late-comer with no claims to the soil.

WWW III Alert: NATO Activates Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Defenses

From Global News

NATO has activated its “chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence elements” amid fears Russia could launch a biological strike in Ukraine.

Following an emergency summit of the military alliance on Thursday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg told reporters in Brussels the decision comes as the allies move to equip Ukraine with its own biological defences.

“Our top military commander … has activated NATO’s chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear defence elements,” he said.

“And allies are deploying additional chemical and biological and nuclear defences to reinforce our existing and new battlegroups, so we are taking measures both to support Ukraine and also to defend ourselves.”

Mysterious Boeing 737 Crash In China Puzzles Experts

From BBC:

It was supposed to be a routine two-hour flight carrying 132 people from one big city to another in southern China.

But just over an hour into its journey, China Eastern Flight MU5735 pitched over into a sudden near-vertical dive.

The Boeing 737-800 jet hurtled to the ground at high speed – thousands of feet a minute – slamming into a hillside in a fiery explosion.

Most of the jet appears to have disintegrated on impact.

But search crews scouring the mountains in Wuzhou, Guangxi province have found charred wreckage, scattered belongings, debris and some human remains.

They’ve also found a piece critical to the puzzle – one of the two so-called black boxes. The cockpit voice recorder was damaged on the outside but its recordings were still intact.

Investigators are hoping it will explain a disaster confounding aviation experts.”

Since this particular plane is specifically designed so that it doesn’t plunge in that way, and since the weather conditions appear to have been normal, the pilots appear to have been psychologically stable and sufficiently trained/experienced, and the plane itself seems to have passed all the requisite tests, one theory is sabotage.

Who and why will have to await the black box recordings.

Empire Of Lies: Black-Out On Mega Network Published Here Since 2008

 

The Empire of Lies has finally met the language it understands: power.

The video above is of a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile, apparently used for the first time on March 17, 2022 in Ukraine. Since then, there have been reports of the launch of at least one other hypersonic missile.

What does it mean, Empire of Lies?

Don’t all states lie? Undoubtedly. But here, the propaganda  network is so thorough and total that reality vanishes into a black-hole, replaced by simulation.

This is characteristic of totalitarian states, whether flaunting leftist symbols, like the former Soviet Union, Red China, and the current EU; or rightist ones, like Hitler’s Germany; or both, as in the current USA.

As an example, I am again linking the chapter on EMET AND MEGA that I wrote in 2005, some years before Jeffrey Epstein, a lynchpin of MEGA’s espionage in the US, became a public name because of his sex-trafficking in Florida. The chapter was deleted by my editor, who claimed it was irrelevant to my book.

Realizing it was being censored, I published the cut chapter on this blog, which I began at the end of 2007.

So the information has been up here from 2008 onward and is probably one of the reasons for the blacklisting and trouble I have received at this blog. 

You will recognize in the chapter the network that was explored by the alternative media only a full DECADE later and is only now recognized by the mainstream media. Yet the material has been up here for 15 years, easily available for anyone to link, cite, or question me about.

Intelligence hacks of various levels and groups like the ADL have looked at it; so also editors and writers at sites at which I used to publish.

Have any of them cited or linked to me for the information they pick up from here? Did they even run with it? No. With the exception of a few who know who they are and whom I don’t wish to embarrass or injure by naming, they did not.

That is 15 years of silence from people who could have spoken up and saved humanity some pain. No one put a gun to their head to silence them. They censored themselves, which is characteristic in totalitarian states. Thus, the population itself is not completely innocent. Blood is on its hands.

If citizens in Russia or Ukraine or Iraq or Syria or Yemen must pay the price for the crimes and blunders of their rulers, then surely the same applies to the useful idiots of the global Zionist ethnostate, of which the USA is a wholly-owned subsidiary.

And if Russian hypersonic missiles are the only way to deliver that message to the satrapy known now and forever as the EMPIRE OF LIES, then so be it.

Russia: US Experimented With Drugs On Ukrainian soldiers

 

Tass.com [a Russian state outlet] has just reported further charges by the Head of the Russian Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Forces Igor Kirillov  regarding the US-Ukrainian biological labs:

“The documents that were obtained confirm an attempt to subject them[Lila: Ukrainian military personnel] to tests of of previously untested medicines <…> that didn’t undergo an approval procedure in the US and Canada,” he continued. He said that such unacceptable approaches, with the tacit consent of the US administration, are usual business for large pharmaceutical companies.

“Thus, the Indonesian government in 2010 terminated the activities of the US Navy Medical Center in Jakarta due to numerous violations,” Kirillov said. “The work that the Americans carried out at this facility stepped outside of the agreed research program, as they carried out biological sampling and refused to inform the Indonesian government about the results that were achieved.”

He noted that the materials they received were used in the interests of the Pentagon-affiliated pharmaceutical company Gilead, which tests its drugs in countries that include Ukraine and Georgia.”

Lila: Gilead is the pharmaceutical company behind the expensive and ineffectual Covid drug, Remdesivir, that was promoted by WHO, Fauci, and the CDC, despite all the evidence showing its worthlessness and indeed counterproductive results.

Added: It turns out that Gilead was in an $800 million dispute with the Ukrainian government over monopoly rights for their antiviral drug sofosbuvir [marketed as Sovaldi] for chronic hepatitis C. There are 2 million people suffering from the illness in Ukraine and the drug, which costs $1000 a pill in the US and $60,000-80,000 for the whole treatment, was widely criticized for its expense. The dispute centered around the fact that Ukraine was not included in a deal that allowed lower income countries access to cheaper generics made by India.

Added: In 2017, Tass published findings by a Ukrainian hacker group, CyberBerkut, that US biological labs were running covert experiments in the country and were doing so under the direction of the Pentagon, via Maidan activist and US citizen, Ulyana Suprin, although formally under the Ukrainian health ministry. The hackers believed that outbreaks of rare diseases in recent years were not simply due to accidental leaks but were the results of active experimentation and testing of pathogens on the population. Outbreaks included AIDS/HIV, drug-resistant tuberculosis, swine-flu, leptospirosis, botulism, and hepatitis B and C. This would tie into Gilead’s anti-hepatitis drug sofosbuvir.

Added: Two companies involved in clinical trials of new drugs in Ukraine were Ascendis Pharma and TricidiaIt’s not clear to me yet if these were what the Russian MOD was referring to.

Sanctions On Russia: Economic Operation Barbarossa

From Daniel Larison:

The recent act of “the West” — governments and central bankers in league and in unison — to expropriate what Biden called “Putin’s $630 billion war fund” is really off the charts by way of economic warfare, something that just wasn’t done in the 18th and 19th centuries, even in terrible extremities. Debts were paid, even to cretins. The reputation for trustworthiness was the banker’s most precious asset, and it became the creed of nations. Only by an authoritative legal process, governed by the law of nations, might someone else get their hands on your stash.

In the three centuries before 1914, beginning the age in which all restraints in war, military and economic, were obliterated, such a default was seen in “civilized Europe” as equivalent to the method of “the barbarian” — “we like, we take.” But not only by them. Vigorous shakings of the head in disapproval would also have come from the Princes of Africa, the Sultan of the Turks, the Kings of Persia and China, the Great Mogul of India, the Grand Duke of Moscovy, the Emperor of Ethiopia (Prester John), the rulers of Japan and Morocco, and the Khanate of Crimea………

…The commentariat treats this Vast and Unprecedented Expropriation, this Financial H-Bomb, alongside things like sanctioning Putin’s niece as just parts of a generic class of “sanctions,” as if they were two peas in a pod, when the Central Bank Expropriations are a revolutionary stake into the heart of the global economic system. They will one day be seen as hurtling us to a new monetary order, distinguished across the East-West divide by a rabid neomercantilism, wealth-destroying but inexorable.

In name the central bank actions are a freeze, but in actuality they constitute a debt repudiation, a default, on a far bigger scale than anything engineered by the Bolsheviks, who put the debts of the Tsar to the torch when they came to power.

The situation is made all the more incredible by two facts. First, the contemporary default occurred at the center of the financial order, not at its periphery. That makes it staggering and unlike any other. Second, it was cooked up in a couple of hours by U.S. government staffers. Previous discussions of sanctions had always treated Russia’s removal from SWIFT as the Absolute Weapon. The Great Freeze on Russian assets never made it into the press.

Our leaders in thought and action, the ones at the top of the political and financial and corporate media hierarchy, violated the first rule, the indispensable rule, the rule on which our grand financial edifice was built. Full faith and credit wasn’t just a phrase; it was a way of life. The idea of it, a new model of civilization, generated rules that most princes and peoples came to respect. No more………

Cassandra would like to say in reply: the Great Expropriation will come to be regarded as the financial equivalent of Operation Barbarossa, which sowed terror in all that lay in its path but which created through overextension and hubris the basis for its subsequent reversal. Our leaders, our “oligarchs,” have not necessarily shot themselves in the foot with these measures, but they have definitely shot their peoples in the foot, and they do not seem to care.

NATO’s Nazis Support Ukraine’s Nazis

From Niqnaq blog: [Lila: my excerpting and emphasis; this is not an endorsement of any other position on this blog, which I came across while hunting for information which was sound and well referenced.]

ITEM

On Feb 27 2022, Canadian Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland held a scarf bearing the slogan “Slava Ukraini,” meaning “Glory to Ukraine,” with the “Blood and Soil” colors of the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) (who collaborated with the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles). She then proceeded to post this picture onto her Twitter account (replacing it hours later with a picture of her without the “Blood and Soil” scarf) and accused her detractors of “reeking of Russian disinformation”. This controversial picture of Freeland was reported by Canada’s National Post…… Not irrelevant in all of this is the fact that Freeland’s grandfather was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper during WW2 in Galacia and that she is indeed aware of this and apparently unapologetic. Whenever she is questioned about this, she does not deny anything, but simply blames such a focus of inquiry on Russian disinformation with the intent to “destabilize Western democracies.” That is, it is not a question of what is one’s historical or ideological background, but a question of “whose side are you on?” Interestingly, it was the Canadian newspaper “The Globe and Mail” who reported this story, titled “Freeland knew her grandfather was editor of Nazi newspaper,” thus, not a Russian publication last time I checked. And upon whom did they base such information? None other than Freeland’s own uncle, John-Paul Himka, who is now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. According to the Globe and Mail, Freeland was aware for more than two decades that her grandfather Michael Chomiak, was the chief editor of a Nazi newspaper that vilified Jews and supported the Nazi cause. Globe and Mail writes:

Krakivski Visti [Krakow News] was set up in 1940 by the German army and supervised by German intelligence officer Emil Gassert. Its printing presses and offices were confiscated by the Germans from a Jewish publisher, who was later murdered at the Belzec concentration camp. The article titled ‘Kravivski Visti and the Jews, 1943: A contribution of Ukrainian Jewish Relations during the Second World War’ was written by Ms Freeland’s uncle, John-Paul Himka, now professor emeritus at the University of Alberta. In the foreword to the article, Prof Himka credits Ms Freeland for ‘pointing out problems and clarifications.’ Ms Freeland has never acknowledged that her grandfather was a Nazi collaborator and suggested on Monday that the allegation was part of a Russian disinformation campaign. In 1996, Prof Himka wrote about Mr Chomiak’s work for Kravivski Visti, a Ukrainian-language newspaper based in Krakow that often published anti-Jewish diatribes including ‘certain passages in some of the articles that expressed approval of what the Nazis were doing to the Jews.’…..

Then there is the strange case of NATO tweeting in celebration of international women’s day, this past Mar 8, a picture of a female Ukrainian soldier wearing the Black Sun symbol which is tied to Nazi occultism, and Satanism. NATO wrote in their post: “All women and girls must live free and equal,” sending a very mixed message. NATO also ended up taking down their picture of the Black Sun symbol.

John McCain visits Ukraine in Dec 2013 in support of a regime change. The world should have been appalled and horrified at such an exposure of US criminality and duplicity. That the US had directly and loudly encouraged and financially supported a revolution that resulted in many tragic deaths, only to steal the Ukrainian people’s right to choose their own government democratically. The Americans also encouraged the Ukrainian people to fight for the EU Deal. And the Ukrainian people received the EU Deal that they were literally dying for. Where are they today? The poorest country in all of Europe. Ukraine used to be among the richest countries in Eastern Europe, known as “the breadbasket of Europe.” However, this economic fact is harder and harder to come by since Ukraine was a part of the USSR when their economy was at its peak. A most inconvenient truth. It is for this reason that you will be hard pressed to find any GDP graph of Ukraine that begins earlier than 1991, the date of their independence. From 1991 to 1997, Ukraine lost 60% of their GDP (1) and suffered five-digit inflation rates. (2) Who was Ukraine beholden to during this massive recession that has never really ended for Ukrainians? The IMF. [More on this story in Part 2.]

On Jan 23 2018, Joe Biden was invited to speak at a CFR platform about an article he co-authored with Michael Carpenter titled “How to Stand Up to the Kremlin: Defending Democracy Against Its Enemies.” ……. Joe Biden makes the following admission at this 2018 CFR platform:

I went over I guess the 12th, 13th time to Kiev, and I was going supposed to announce that there was another billion dollar loan guarantee. And I had gotten a commitment from Poroshenko and from Yatsenyuk that they would take action against the state prosecutor and they didn’t. So they said they had it [the loan] they were walking out to press and I said nah, I said I’m not going or we’re not going to give you the billion dollars. They said ‘you have no authority, you’re not the president, the president said,’ I said call him. [laughter in background] I said, I’m telling you’re not getting a billion dollars. I said you’re not getting a billion and I’m gonna be leaving here. I think it was about six hours. I looked I said I’m leaving in six hours. If the prosecutor is not fired, you’re not getting the money. Oh son of a bitch. He got fired. [laughter in background] And they put in place, someone who was solid.

During the EU Deal dispute that was used to trigger the Ukrainian protests, it has since been discovered that part of the conditions of this “deal,” which was strong-armed by the IMF, was the demand that a significant rise in utility rates (first and foremost electricity and gas) be implemented while the income of Ukrainians stayed the same. Who was Ukrainian President Yanukovych’s point person in the US during the Ukrainian protests and EU Deal controversy? US Vice President Joe Biden. The Ukrainian people had no idea. The very deal they were fighting and dying for was to directly benefit corrupt gas companies such as Burisma Holdings and their foreign shareholders, to the economic detriment of the Ukrainian people. A similar situation to what most of Europe is facing today under a plethora of glorious “EU Deals” in the midst of an energy crisis.

In addition, the NYT has just recently published an article confirming that the notorious Hunter Biden laptop that was claimed as “Russian disinformation” by our trustworthy fact-checkers, is in actual fact, AUTHENTIC. A very important piece of information that should have been made available to the American people before they chose who would be their next President. This important piece of information was denied to the American people by the very thing that is proclaimed to be defending “national security,” the unelected and anonymous but all powerful, “fact-checkers.”..

So, we all know Joe Biden has been promoted, um “elected,” President. Where are Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt today? Nuland serves as the Under Sec State for Political Affairs of the US. Pyatt serves as the US Ambassador to Greece. Nuland, not one to shy away from unflattering spotlight, has again made headlines. This time on the American, starts with “bio” ends with “lab,” situation in Ukraine…..

ITEM

What did not make the headlines with equal vigour is what Nuland did after her failed diplomatic visit to Russia this past October, which was according to French journalist Thierry Meyssan, to “impose” Yarosh onto President Zelensky. On Nov 2 2021, President Zelensky appointed Dmytro Yarosh (leader of the Right Sector 2013-2015) as Adviser to the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Valeri Zaluzhny. Nuland is of Ukrainian Jewish descent, thus her ongoing support for neo-Nazis in the Ukrainian government and military since 2014 is disturbing on multiple levels. Right Sector has close connections with Trident (Tryzub) and Patriot of Ukraine. All three groups are right-wing nationalist, neo-Nazi, paramilitary movements as well as political parties. Look it up for yourself, not even Wikipedia is denying this. Yarosh was the leader of Tryzub starting in 2005. Tryzub led to the formation of the Right Sector, to which Yarosh was also leader of between 2013-2015 and continues to have a great deal of influence on all these groupings. Dmytro Yarosh has been on Interpol’s “wanted list” since 2014.

Recall that in 2014, the US “influence” on the newly formed Ukrainian government was raising concern, specifically around members of Svoboda and Pravyi Sector (Right Sector) holding five senior roles in the new government, including the post of deputy prime minister. This story was reported by Reuters.

ITEM

On Jan 1 2022, hundreds of Ukrainian nationalists held a torchlight march in the capital of Kyiv, seen in the above picture, to mark the birthday of Stephen Bandera one of the leaders of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) and its paramilitary unit the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) who fought alongside the Nazis during WW2 and massacred thousands of Jews and Poles. These Ukrainian nationalists are shown in the above picture holding the Svoboda and UPA “Blood and Soil” flag. The latter being the same emblem Chrystia Freeland held this past February. This event was reported by The Times of Israel. I wonder, will Freeland’s press secretary dare to call this another classic case of “KGB disinformation”? So what is going on here? Are there real Nazis in Ukraine that are being selected, with US and possibly NATO backing, to play a political and military role? And if so, why?
