Controlled Opposition: Strawman Arguments Versus Reality

Matthew Ehret via LRC suggests that any attempt at questioning the kind of opposition figures that are thrown up is wrong, because if the opposition were always controlled, the globalists would have long ago achieved their goals and the situation is hopeless.

He may have qualified this opening remark on the rest of the show, which I didn’t watch, so possibly I have him wrong.

In any case, let me refute his argument for the strawman it is.

NO ONE is saying that EVERY opposition to the globalist project is run by the globalists themselves. That is so obviously a distortion of any reasonable understanding of the dialectic as to be a red herring.

Thousands, possibly tens of thousands, of people are wide awake and know what is going on. I draw that conclusion from looking at comment sections, usually pseudonymous, on the web. None of these people is controlled except to the degree they censor themselves, out of prudence or moderators and trolls distort and tar their comments.

HOWEVER, this opposition, while certainly visible at a lower level and indirectly influential, does not directly affect the power centers, whose operating assumptions have already factored in their discontent and channelled it into much more visible and directly influential TALKING HEADS, who are almost always vetted and in conformity to certain parameters, while allowed leeway to argue WITHIN those parameters.

What about patriotic and influential groups within the power network, such as, intelligence or military groups, who disclose or leak information to scuttle ongoing globalist plans?

OF COURSE these are real points of opposition. And the proof is that some globalist projects are at least temporarily scuttled.

Ehret argues that the globalists should already have accomplished their goals, if there was that much controlled opposition.

Here, I need to rub my eyes.

Where the devil does Matt Ehret live? When I read the papers, I see millions of people, even those with access to the net and the leisure to read, walking around with face masks, getting multiples injections, locking themselves up in their homes, announcing their pronouns, and displaying other signs of complete capitulation to the demands of the government. That looks like mission accomplished to me.

I see two sets of Orthodox Slavs busy inflicting tremendous damage to their motherland, to their churches, their people, their economies, and their future, while ENABLING and DISTRACTING from the globalist policies that have actually exported inflation and starvation around the world. I see NATO, which was irrelevant before, now thriving and expanding, and the military industrial awash with new money.

I see millions if not billions of small businesses shut down forever, ancient crafts destroyed for eternity and their owners expropriated and enslaved to debt,  over the last decade or so and hardly any articles in the media about this ongoing catastrophic destruction.

Instead, the leaders of resistance genuflect before the golden calf, beg forgiveness for trivial statements from idolators of the calf, and jail and silence its critics. And you tell me they are NOT leaders controlled by the system and I should SWALLOW their claims without any qualification?

If the globalists have postponed some of their plans, missed targeted outcomes here and there and do stand exposed for their machinations, this is NOT due to highly visible semi or fully controlled FIGURE HEADS, but due to tens of thousands of internet warriors, many long dead or disappeared who have spoken out truthfully over the decades  and indeed centuries [through republished samizdat texts revived by the web] to inform the world.  Whether they were at one time agents or compromised, whether they were bigots or racists, or jihadis, or Nazis, or Bolsheviks, Gentiles, Talmudists, snake charmers or wizards ultimately does not matter, if their material was truthful.

TRUTH percolates up from the ground. It grows like a mustard seed from the ground.

ASTRO TURF, NEEDING MONEY, BRANDING, NETWORKS, AND PARAMETERS, COMES FROM ABOVE.

 

 

 

 

 

With Friends Like NATO, Ukraine Doesn’t Need Russia As Enemy

Scott Ritter at Russia Today:

The former US intelligence officer explained that in the event of a breakdown, the Ukrainians would not be able to use the weapon. Ritter reported that the M777 towed 155mm howitzer had weaknesses. It is lighter than the previous version and is unstable when fired. This howitzer also wears out quickly in combat. Its effectiveness decreases already on the fourth day of use. The howitzer becomes completely useless within a week. To address this shortcoming, the US military stepped up maintenance on the ground. But it required highly qualified personnel and high-quality logistics. The Armed Forces of Ukraine do not have such capabilities and howitzers will very quickly become unrepairable.

Similar difficulties will be caused by the maintenance of German “Leopards” and American M133 armored vehicles. These weapons are outdated, worn out and will fail soon after the outbreak of hostilities.

Scott Ritter stated that with such friends as NATO, Ukraine does not need enemies.

Earlier, Scott Ritter said that Europe is over. In his opinion, if the current positions regarding Russia do not change, the continent will suffer irreparable damage, which has not been seen since the end of World War II.

Boris Johnson’s Ashkenazy & Donmeh Jewish Roots

The Jewish Chronicle:

[Boris] Johnson, on the other hand, not only has the virtue of being almost the polar opposite of Red Ken [Livingstone], but is also a trenchant supporter of Israel, an enemy of politically correct anti-Zionism and immensely proud of his own Jewish ancestry — the Henley MP’s great grandfather, Elias Avery Lowe, being the Moscow-born son of a shmutter merchant. “I feel Jewish when I feel the Jewish people are threatened or under attack, that’s when it sort of comes out,” he declares. “When I suddenly get a whiff of antisemitism, it’s then that you feel angry and protective.”

Haaretz.com:

While Rachel, Boris and their two younger brothers have some Jewish ancestry on their mother’s side — their maternal great-grandfather, says Rachel, was a rabbi from Lithuania — their Jewish identity, inasmuch as they have or ever had one (Boris identifies as an Anglican) comes by way of their father, Stanley Johnson.

A non-Jew with royal British and Turkish heritage in his ancestral mix, Stanley, divorced from his children’s mother — the painter Charlotte Johnson — remarried a woman from a well-known Anglo-Jewish family: Jenny, the stepdaughter of philanthropist Zionist businessman Teddy Sieff, who had served as chairman of Marks and Spencer and once survived an assassination attempt by Ilich Ramirez Sanchez, better known as Carlos the Jackal.

Armenian Weekly.com:

Johnson’s royal British and Turkish heritage is described in an article about his great grandfather, Ali Kemal Bey, a Donmeh Jew.

In time, [Ali] Kemal developed an ‘Ottomanist’ ideology. He argued for a free and multicultural Ottoman Empire, united under a civic Ottoman identity rather than ethnic nationalism. He had been vocal about the Empire’s treatment of its minorities such as the Armenians. Kemal’s family wealth afforded him the luxuries of travel, and London quickly became a favorite destination. He met his first wife, a British woman named Winifred Brun in one such sojourn. By the time she died while giving birth in 1910 to Osman Kemal Wilfred Johnson—Boris Johnson’s grandfather (are you connecting the dots now?)—the situation in Kemal’s native Constantinople was changing rapidly.

Follow the Plan: Is Putin Doing A Trump?

As I posted before, I am not in a position to do much writing and can just post a few things.  But looking through my own research and back and forth about V. V. Putin, I have come to some hard conclusions and feel burdened to put them down.

Putin is “doing a Trump.”

He comes out of the same Russian Jewish Chabad matrix that Trump came from. He is as beholden to Chabad as Trump is.

That is their nexus, not some phony election-meddling charge.

Then again, like Trump, Putin is of Jewish descent, as has been believed for long. I thought these were just unproven rumors, but saw something more convincing recently.

Rabbi Yosef began by saying “according to the Jewish tradition, your leadership is decided by the kingdom of G-d, King of the world, and therefore we bless you: Blessed is the One who gave of His glory to flesh and blood.

Apparently, this manner of address to a national leader is reserved for Jewish leaders, not non-Jewish, who would have been referred to not as “flesh and blood,” but as creatures. It is of course possible that the reporting of the address is false and/or disinformation.

Putin supposedly is of peasant background, but the name itself is of a clan that has ties to European nobility, just as Trump and every other US president had.

That is the first issue, but for me it is by no means the important one.

It is Putin’s conduct of the war, the decision to intervene this year, rather than earlier, and his excessive deference to Israeli and Jewish sensibilities, that inclines me to think he is playing a deep game.

Unlike Trump, who I believe was played, Putin may be more sagacious and doing some of the playing himself.

Trump’s followers, or disinformation artists posing as followers were always chanting follow trust the plan” and claiming Trump was playing 5th dimensional chess against his dimwit opponents. Each time he blundered or was caught out, they doubled up on the support. In Putin’s case too all we hear from staunch supporters is “everything is going according to the plan.”

Doesn’t the similarity of the words ring a bell?

The latest ambiguous and unnecessary “apology,” although likely spun that way by Israel, was left uncorrected by Mr. Putin.

I do believe that Putin will proceed against Israel in due course, driving Jewish Americans and many Israelis out of their countries, perhaps to Ukraine, which is now rapidly emptying of its native population.

Perhaps that was the reasoning all along, I cannot help but think.

I have never subscribed to the belief that Russia is at the head of some kind of global “resistance” to colonialism or imperialism.

The creation of an opposition to the American led West was always part of the globalist project. However, I had hopes that Putin was indeed acting in the best interests of his country and faith and was sincere in the counterpoint he offered to Western hegemony.  I am not so sure now.

Are Orthodox Slavs in Ukraine and Russia best served by this war?  Was there no other way?

I hope I am wrong but I wonder if this “resistance” is only an exercize in revealing to the powers that be where each person’s sympathies lie. Just as January 6, which Trump encouraged, swept thousands of Trump followers into the government’s net, this Special Military Operation may have helped to reveal those most antagonistic to  the globalist regime in the West and expose them to government retribution, via the DHS.

I supported Donald Trump after he was elected [not before], because his rhetorical assault on the globalist powers was invigorating and useful and he did do a number of good things in office, although many of them were later reversed by executive order by Biden.

I still think Trump was the best on offer and the best we have had in a long time.

In that sense , I also appreciate V. V. Putin.

But that said, there are just too many things amiss with this war for me to be sanguine that all is as it seems.

 

Pro-Gvt Disinfo Expert Does Deep Dive Into Jan 6?

UPDATE: I cited Greenwald on the DHS hiring disinfo specialists to censor the web, under the guise of correcting disinformation.  On second thoughts, Greenwald is probably not the best person to cite, given his past with Snowden and other deep state actors, good or bad. So I’ve deleted the quote.

David Troy does a deep dive into what he considers the background of Jan 6.

Just a glance tells me Troy has an axe to grind….linking child porn to the gold standard is I suppose one way of looking at gold-bugs.

He mentions the following, whose deaths he spins to support his pro-government/deep state argument:

Mark Lombardi, about whom I blogged a DECADE ago.

Gary Webb, about whom I blogged more than a decade ago.

Danny Casolaro, about whom I also blogged a decade ago.

[the post was made private so I will repost it and link to that]

No time for more now.

EXCERPT:

The work of multiple researchers and historians has intersected to provide a fuller picture of the historical forces that led to the events of January 6th. The story centers on the Council for National Policy (CNP) and its members and affiliates who were the most active organizers and participants. But the deeper question is why this history unfolded the way it did.

Where did the CNP come from? What are its goals? Considering this larger historical frame apart from the day-to-day frustrations of party politics reveals a number of key themes. CNP was born from the same network of people who created both the John Birch Society and the World Anti-Communist League. In turn, those networks are also tightly associated with the birth of American libertarianism and also harbor a fervent and lingering passion for the gold standard.

Within this community, the fear and distrust of communism cannot be separated from the libertarian “non-aggression principle” and the preference for the gold standard. The fetish for gold is in fact directly tied into the non-aggression principle in that they see inflationary fiat currency as a kind of “molestation,” as articulated by Robert LeFevre, considered by many to be the progenitor of modern American libertarian thought.

Wuhan Lab And US Partner Agree To Destroy All Secret Files & Backups

Emily Kopp, U.S. Right to Know
April 20, 2022

The Wuhan Institute of Virology has the right to ask a partnering lab in the U.S. to destroy all records of their work, according to a legal document obtained by U.S. Right to Know.

A memorandum of understanding between the Wuhan lab and the Galveston National Laboratory at the University of Texas Medical Branch states that each lab can ask the other to return or “destroy” any so-called “secret files” — any communications, documents, data or equipment resulting from their collaboration — and ask that they wipe any copies.

“The party is entitled to ask the other to destroy and/or return the secret files, materials and equipment without any backups,” it states.

NATO Already On The Ground In Ukraine

From B29.net

Specialists from Great Britain and the United States are training Ukrainian soldiers, among other things, to use 3.600 modern anti-tank weapons.

They also train them to be saboteurs and practice partisan fighting techniques with them.

The British are the most numerous in the team for training Ukrainians with more than 100 elite soldiers of the SAS special unit.

Those soldiers have been in hiding in Ukraine since 2014, after Russia annexed Crimea. They train a professional Ukrainian army and volunteers. Also the members of the British naval special unit SBS are in Ukraine, along with the special scouts of the SRR unit.

The United States has also sent its special forces to Ukraine – Green Berets are training Ukrainians in urban combat, and the United States Navy Sea, Air, and Land (SEAL) Teams are training on an old training ground in the west of the country. The European Command in Stuttgart is in charge of coordinating the activities of the US special forces.

Also, British and American elite soldiers have one special task, for which the units stationed in Lithuania are in charge, and that is to evacuate Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if necessary.

Putin More Christian Than the Pope

In President Putin’s well-considered and judicious remarks to the UN Secretary-General, Antonio Guterres on April 26, I note two statements that shed an interesting light on his larger goals in pursuing the war in Ukraine and more generally on the position Russia has taken up as the head of the resistance to the universal hegemony of the West:

We are also surprised to hear statements by our colleagues that imply that some in the world have exceptional status or can claim exclusive rights because the Charter of the United Nations reads that all participants in international communication are equal regardless of their strength, size or geographical location. I think this is similar to what the Bible reads about all people being equal. I am sure we will find the same idea in both the Quran and the Torah. All people are equal before God. So, the idea that someone can claim a kind of exceptional status is very strange to us.

Since every word from Putin’s mouth is considered, I take the manner in which he has articulated his concerns about certain UN members to be highly significant.

First, it should be noted that he is attacking exceptionalism of any kind, which would imply both American exceptionalism and any other exceptionalism.

Now, exceptionalism is much the same thing as supremacism.

President Putin of course has positioned himself  very publicly  against Nazism, specifically the Nazism exhibited by some parts of the Ukrainian government. That is well known. However, he has for some time been hinting at something more.

And here he is clarifying what that is. It is the more general category to which Nazism belongs, supremacism.

The political point Putin is making to the Secretary-General is that actions of member-states that are similar should be treated similarly by the UN. If Kosovo could declare itself independent and this was recognized by the International Court, then the independence of the Donbass should be treated equally. Equality before the law cannot co-exist with an exceptionalist treatment of one country, permitting it a leeway  in action none other has. American exceptionalism is clearly the target here.

Then, significantly, President Putin, derives the equality of member- states in the UN from  the notion of equality among human beings given to us in religious scripture. And here he does something very illuminating.  He lists the religious texts that support the notion of equality: the Bible, the Koran, and the Torah.

Notice that he omits the Talmud and he omits any Hindu scripture, such as the Vedas or Upanishads, but since Hinduism is not represented in Russia in any substantial way, so that is not a surprise. What is a surprise is his omission of the Talmud, which is the scripture that most regulates Jewish practice, since Judaism, especially Chabad, is well-represented in Russia.  In fact, Chabad is the most powerful Jewish community in the country. Now, there is no question that there is in Chabad a supremacist vein, found in such texts as Ha Tanya, as well as, more generally, in the Talmud. Thus, when President Putin omits any reference to the Talmud and instead directly mentions the Torah, it is significant, since the Torah is most important among true Torah following Jews, who are anti-Zionist and constitute a very small group, and among the equally small group of Karaite Jews.

Besides that omission, the order of the list is also significant. President Putin mentions the Bible first, giving pride of place to Christianity among the traditional Russian faiths. He then mentions the Koran, giving Islam the second place, and with the Torah, gives Judaism its due. This particular ordering might be linked to the size of the demographic each religion represents in the Russian federation, with the state aligning itself first with the Orthodox faith and presenting itself as the defender of that faith.

From the political context, it is clear that President Putin is opposing his defense of equality to the supremacism practiced by two exceptionalist groups, the one in Ukraine which has a pagan and occult basis, and the one embodied in NATO and the West, that also draws on the pagan and the occult. I will leave it open whether one should extrapolate from Mr. Putin’s words an implicit indictment of Talmudic supremacism or not.

Now, contrast this with the words of the head of the Catholic church, Pope Francis, in a speech to Congress on September 24, 2015, in which he called for inclusion and fraternity. The Pope managed to mention both Moses and Mohammed but omitted the name of Jesus Christ. Clearly, in that at least President Putin is a more forthright defender of the Christian faith in the public sphere.

Fascist Biowar Experts Hired By CIA Operation Paperclip

Finian Cunningham at Strategic-Culture.org:

Medical scientists Shiro Ishii and Kurt Blome were respectively the commanders of the biological and chemical warfare research efforts by Japan and Germany during the war. Ishii commanded the notorious Unit 731 which was based in Manchuria in Japanese-occupied China. Blome was the lead scientist in testing biological weapons and poisonous gases on inmates at Auschwitz and other Nazi death camps.

Imperial Japan and Nazi Germany collaborated intensively in the sharing of experimental data on new bioweapons, including the spreading of anthrax, typhoid, cholera, smallpox, bubonic plague, and botulism.

Ishii’s Unit 731 is estimated to have caused up to 500,000 deaths during the war from the use of biological warfare by dropping pathogens from airplanes on Chinese cities in Hunan and Zhejiang provinces. The unit also carried out diabolic forced experiments on Chinese and Russian prisoners of war to study the epidemiology of diseases and vaccines. Inmates were infected with pathogens and subjected to horrible agonizing deaths.

Shiro Ishii and his criminal network were never brought to trial following the war despite earnest Soviet requests. Instead, the Americans who occupied mainland Japan granted him and his team of doctors immunity from prosecution in exchange for exclusive access to the biological and chemical warfare experiments. The Pentagon assigned its experts from Fort Detrick, Maryland, to tap the Japanese trove of data.

General Douglas MacArthur, the Allied Supreme Commander, personally intervened to ensure that Washington did not allow prosecution of Ishii or any other Japanese wartime specialist in those fields. Ishii died in 1959 in Tokyo at the age of 67 never having faced justice for the mass deaths he had supervised.

Meanwhile, Kurt Blome, the Wehrmacht chief of biological and chemical warfare, was brought to trial at the Nuremberg Doctors’ Trials but he was acquitted in 1947 primarily because of American intervention to let him walk free.

Blome was just one of over 1,000 Nazi scientists and engineers who were recruited by the U.S. as part of Operation Paperclip. They would go on to be vital contributors to developing American missile technology and the NASA space program.

Again Fort Detrick, the Pentagon’s biological warfare center, tapped Blome’s expertise in weaponizing anthrax and other pathogens. His knowledge of nerve agents such as Tabun and Sarin was also harnessed by the CIA and its MK-Ultra program for assassinating political opponents. Blome worked closely with Sydney Gottlieb who headed up the CIA’s biological and chemical warfare unit. Gottlieb was known as the agency’s “poisoner-in-chief” and was personally involved in repeated efforts to assassinate Cuban leader Fidel Castro. Ironically, the CIA man who was the son of Jewish Hungarian immigrants ended up working with a Nazi scientist who had experimented at Auschwitz.

Japan Tries Anti-Russian Provocation, Fails

Andrew Korybko reports on a failed attempt by Japan to stage an anti-Russian provocation, using India.

A scandal suddenly erupted within the Quad earlier this week after India refused to allow a plane from fellow partner Japan’s “Self-Defense Forces” (SDF) to pick up humanitarian supplies in the country that were destined for Poland and Romania. New Delhi quickly clarified, however, that “We have conveyed our approval for picking of such supplies from India using commercial aircraft.” The Hindu noted that the use of civilian aircraft is obviously preferred by India over military ones like the SDF plane that was initially dispatched on this mission since the South Asian state very proudly practices a policy of principled neutrality. It continues to do so despite immense American pressure to publicly condemn Russia for its ongoing special military operation in Ukraine. Since the scandal has now been clarified, it’s time to analyze exactly why it even happened at all and what everything related to it might mean.

India and Japan have excellent relations and closely cooperate bilaterally and through the Quad alongside America and Australia. They’re officially driven by their pursuit of mutually beneficial outcomes that supposedly aren’t directed against any third party even though most observers suspect that shared concerns about their mutual Chinese neighbor’s rise played a role in bringing them closer together over the past decade at the accelerated pace that their relations have since developed. Whether that’s the case or not, there’s also no denying that these two strategic partners practice different policies towards Russia: India’s is one of principled neutrality while Japan has dutifully complied with its American overlord’s demands to sanction that Eurasian Great Power even though it’s declined to quit its Sakhalin energy project on the pretext that doing so would somehow help Moscow.

Nevertheless, the Japanese leadership seems to believe that their national interests are best served by taking on a more prominent role in their American overlord’s anti-Russian campaign to the extent that’s realistically possible given Tokyo’s limitations in this respect. With that in mind, it seems to have plotted to rope India into an anti-Russian provocation by dispatching its SDF plane to pick up humanitarian aid in that country en route to Ukraine’s NATO neighbors in Central Europe. Had New Delhi approved its landing, then the optics would have been such that Moscow might have wondered why its special and privileged strategic partner would allow a military plane from a newly designated unfriendly country (the legal category of which refers to states like Japan and those in the EU that have sanctioned Russia) to carry out this humanitarian mission when a civilian one could have been used instead.

India’s strategists have very wise and know their Russian de facto allies very well, which is why they weren’t going to get roped into this provocation by their fellow Quad partner. That’s why they refused to authorize the SDF plane’s landing since Japan should have known better by dispatching a civilian aircraft for carrying out this humanitarian mission instead.
