Ukraine War: India, China, Pakistan Reactions

Posted on by

The gist of the Western media’s position on the Ukraine situation is that the entire world is with Ukraine, except for a few renegade states  under the Russian thumb.

This is far from the truth. The Anglophone world, meaning the US, UK, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, and to a lesser extent the EU, are on average on the same page.

But, in Asia, Latin America, and Africa, the case is entirely different.

Here, the Western position has been met with skepticism and seen as an occasion to reassert the non aligned position and develop economic and strategic alliances beyond the West.

India:

Despite the threat of US sanctions, should India continue to buy military equipment from Russia, informed opinion is solidly on the Russian side. Indians see NATO’s expansion as posing an existential threat to Russia as a nation. There is also a good deal of contempt for the moral posturing of the West on this. People remember how the US tried to bully India when Mrs. Gandhi intervened to end the blood bath in Bangladesh, surely the very definition of a just war. People also remember the devastation of the entire Middle East by American intervention and America’s indifference to Pakistani and Chinese encroachments on Indian territory.

As well, Russia has offered to discount by 25% the cost of wheat purchases by India and is considering bilateral trade in rubles and rupees. Meanwhile, the shortfall in global wheat production from the war’s impact on the two leading wheat producing nations of Ukraine and Russia offers an opportunity for Indian wheat exports to expand.

China:

In the left wing English language paper, The Hindu, China complained about third parties trying to create a wedge between China and India and insisted the two had a valuable relationship the Chinese were not going to jeopardize, even over border disputes.

China also said that the QUAD should not be turned into an Asian version of NATO.

China emphasized that while it advocated for a peaceful resolution in Ukraine, it felt that Russia had indeed been provoked and had justification for its response.

From Japan Today:

China has said that the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all nations must be respected — a stance that runs counter to an invasion — while also opposing sanctions on Russia and blaming the U.S. and NATO’s eastward expansion for being the root cause of the crisis.

“China is trying to have its cake on Ukraine and eat it too,” Asia Society president and former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd wrote in a post on the Asia Society Policy Institute website. He noted that China has lifted import restrictions on Russian wheat, which could offset some of the economic pain of sanctions.

For many of those imposing sanctions, China’s actions amount to support for the invasion.

Pakistan:

EU members published a joint and open letter suggesting that Pakistan should have condemned the Russian invasion. This provoked an outburst from PM Imran Khan that Pakistan was not the slave of Western powers and would follow an independent policy. It was on good terms with Russia, with the US, and with the EU and saw no reason to change that status.

“What do you think of us? Are we your slaves … that whatever you say, we will do?” Khan said while addressing a political rally.

 

 

 

 

Ukraine War Updates: Drugs, Sanctions, Students, Cauldrons

Posted on by

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?

 

 

Ukraine War: List Of Useful Sites

Posted on by

There is a huge dearth of decent commentary on the war, or, when there is good commentary, it is scattered between blog posts and video, making it hard for busy people to get the gist of what is happening without an enormous expenditure of time.

For the self absorbed among us, for whom a war is just another excuse to update Facebook this hardly matters, but the rest of us need to know what we are supporting before we open our mouths…or the blood is on our hands too.

Sanctioning Russia implies the collective guilt of its citizens for not overturning Putin.

Well, what about the collective guilt of Americans in allowing into the White House a man in serious mental decline, incapable of handling international crises?

Shouldn’t ordinary Americans be punished for that too?

Or for Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan, Libya, and endless other interventions which had less justification than Putin’s?

But who will sanction the sanctioners?

With that, here is a list of sites that could help  understanding the war in Ukraine.

NOTE: I DO NOT ENDORSE ANY OF THEM.

I have serious problems with about 3/4 of what is on them, and likely most, if not all, have some intelligence ties, or toe the intelligence line, or they would not flourish. You can take that as you wish. I know nothing about the owners, funders etc., although in some cases I can take a good guess.

But from bitter experience I will keep those guesses mostly to myself.

I am not part of any organized resistance, communist, anti-communist, Russian, Prussian,  or anything else. The only resistance I am whole-heartedly part of is resistance to my own unwanted habits, weaknesses and failings. The only line I toe is, whether something is true and helpful or not. There are true things that are not useful.. such as the personal crimes or sins of some of our oligarch enemies and friends. Interesting, but not necessarily relevant.

However, where relevant and useful,  there is also another consideration. If I put this information up, will the blowback be worth it, for someone who has only her wits and a couple of hours of free time, to aid her?

Will I go under too, like a thousand other small blogs and sites in the great purge that began in 2015-2016 and has accelerated ever since?

So I hold my tongue, which is now black and blue from the effort.

WEBSITES/BLOGS

[Have not watched this much, will add, when I find time to.]

That’s all for now. I don’t necessarily agree with the positions of these sites on other issues, or even with everything they say about the war, but they carry useful information to counter the incessant propaganda about Ukraine and Russia.

The best weapon against the media war is

Accurate information about the background and progress of the war

Clear understanding of the motivations and justifications of the different actors

Healthy skepticism toward the moral grandstanding of third parties with no skin in the game.

 

 

Ukraine: The Kleptocrats’ War With Putin

Posted on by

It’s been a year since I blogged here, but the war in Ukraine has drawn me out finally.

Here is a link to my comments at Disqus, made most recently at American Conservative, at Rod Dreher’s blog.

As he’s Orthodox, his posts usually carry themes and information I find useful, but, while he is against the US being drawn into the war, he still makes a moral equivalence between both sides. That equivalence is ultimately soft support of the NATO position.

A limited war to address a serious security threat on a country’s borders and enforce treaty obligations might very well not even be a violation of international law.

I would have to look it up.

But intervening to end the bloody oppression of civilians and get rid of a government that is essentially a kleptocrat front likely meets the definition of a just war. Certainly, Russia has more justification in the Ukraine than America ever did in Iraq, and if I recall right, scholars like Jean Bethke Elshtain managed to defend that war on just war grounds [erroneously].

As for Zelensky, what can be said of a president who, instead of making absolutely reasonable concessions and thus limiting the damage to the population, opens the prison doors and lets out hardened criminals and puts automatic weapons into the hands of women and children?  Who teaches ordinary people to make Molotov cocktails to attack the best trained special operations forces in the world.

Zelensky is trying to increase Ukrainian civilian casualties. No question.

Consider his invitation to mercenaries and volunteers across the globe to show up in Ukraine to fight for his corrupt regime with free equipment given by NATO? How is this not anything but reckless, selfish, and completely contrary to the behavior of a truly courageous and responsible leader who would try to limit, not exacerbate, the bloodshed?

But then. it may not after all be Putin who harbors  dreams of blood and soil. There was, indeed, little evidence of that in the pragmatic speeches the Russian President gave on the eve of war.

But the billionaire backers of Zelensky [a Ukrainian Jew himself],  Igor Kolomoisky and Hennady Bogolyubov, who ran one of the largest frauds in banking history via PrivatGroup and PrivatBank, while also sitting as board members of various Jewish ethnic organizations, have already given their money to Jewish non profits in the US, some, like Chabad, fostering Jewish ethnic identity.

One needs to ask if the rebirth of a Ukrainian or Crimean homeland might actually be the goal of the Ukrainian Jews’ own territorial ambition?

 

Replacement Theology: Rabbinic Sacrifice Cancels Christ

Posted on by

Israeli rabbis claim that the reinstatement of the paschal sacrifice will end the modern “plague” [my quotation marks] of Covid 19, just as it once stopped the plague sent by the Pharaoh against the Israelites in the Old Testament.

“As it is written in the Book of Samuel as well as the Book of Chronicles, we see that two times  the God of Israel canceled a plague inflicted on the Nation of Israel. Once, this divine act of mercy was brought about after Israel offered the Passover lamb in Egypt and the second time was when King David acquired the site of the location for the Temple and built the altar on this exact site in the yard of the Temple Mount 

Twenty one days from now, the 14th of the month of Nissan, will be the time for sacrificing the yearly Passover lamb. Like the original Passover sacrifice ended a plague and opened the door for Israel to go out into freedom, the same sacrifice brought this year will be intended to free all of  humanity from the yoke of evil and sins, preparing them to receive the Divine support, and healing them from this harsh pandemic.”

Of course, today’s plague is a manufactured scam, involving a bioweapon acting as a nocebo and economic warfare masquerading as health policy. And today’s sacrifice is also an imposture: it is a Rabbinic version of replacement theology and cancel culture, intended to erase the divine sacrifice of Christ on the cross and replace it with the temple sacrifice of animal flesh that Christ’s death destroyed.

Consider that at His death, the temple veil was rent and the earth split open; consider that the priestly sacrifice was never successful thereafter until the Romans destroyed the temple itself forty years later; that every attempt to rebuild the temple was mysteriously botched or aborted, to the point that even non-Christians realized the blasphemous nature of the effort; and it becomes clear that any sanction for the rabbinical project must come only from the infernal region.

Chinese Backdoor Surveillance Gets New Meaning

Posted on by

The US has lodged a complaint with China that some of its diplomats were forced to undergo “undignified” anal swabbing as a test for Covid19.

China denies the charge but it is causing much merriment on Chinese social media, which claims that American “potty mouth” syndrome makes it only too easy to confuse those two ends of the anatomy.

Is this accusation a genuine one or intelligence disinformation, perhaps some nation state form of ..er… shitposting?

Is so, by whom?

I don’t see what the US has to gain from making up a charge that humiliates its own personnel, but China might well make up the charge as a form of psychological warfare.

My own guess is it’s something floated by the globalist cabal to serve two objectives at once: humiliate the US publicly and cater to the Chinese, while enraging public opinion against China here and elsewhere.

Let’s you and him fight has always been the watchword of our overlords.

And if the accusation turns out to be true, even more reason to suspect an invisible hand at work.

 

Dominion’s Election Guard Designed By Gates

Posted on by

From Natural News, via  Patriot Daily Press:

In a new video, the illustrious Roger Stone drops a major bombshell about Dominion Voting Systems, alleging he has proof that Microsoft, at the direction of billionaire eugenicist Bill Gates, designed the software used to commit election fraud.

The longtime political veteran who is helping spearhead the “Stop the Steal” movement for election integrity in the United States says that Microsoft developed what is known as Election Guard, which is capable of hiding votes, switching votes and altering election outcomes.

Election Guard has “been used by Dominion, as well as Election Services, Hurt Intercivic, Clean Ballot, Election Systems and Hardware, BPro, and Smartmatic,” Stone claims.

“In other words, 100 percent of the voting machines and voting systems in this country are using the same software that Dominion has been using to switch votes.”

And maybe that’s the real reason why Roger Stone is now being investigated  by the Trump impeachment managers in Congress for ties to the Oathkeepers, the conservative militia three of whose members were charged with conspiracy to interfere with law enforcement or obstruct a proceeding of Congress in the wake of the Capitol Rally on January 6, 2021.

CCP Destroying All Religious Books, Especially Christian

Posted on by

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.

Covid Fascism: Chinese Military, Anal Swabs, Concentration Camps

Posted on by

From GreatGameIndia.com:

BGI Group, the world’s largest genomics company which provided COVID-19 tests worldwide including India, has been exposed as a front for the Chinese military. According to Bill Evanina, America’s top counterintelligence officer, Chinese military is trying to collect DNA samples from foreign nations using BGI Group as a front, for use in their Bioweapons program..

And, for anyone who still hasn’t figured out that the Wuhan virus is part of a sustained and coordinated biological, economic, and political attack on the world in multiple countries and fronts, by the globalist cabal, acting through China, the EU, and others, here are some new and grotesque developments:

More than a million people in China have already undergone anal swab tests, as part of an aggressive testing schedule covering 2 million people in 48 hours, in advance of the Lunar New Year, the busiest part of the year in China reported the Independent on January 27.  But while one infectious diseases specialist at a Beijing hospital, Dr. Li Tong Zen claimed that anal swabs returned fewer false positives, the deputy director of the Wuhan University pathogen biology department contradicts  this and affirms that Covid is a respiratory disease that does not spread through the digestive system or excrement. However, the anal swabs are now being used on air travellers entering China and in major cities across the country, along with longer quarantining, in response to the new UK strain of Covid entering China.

The anal swab may have little medical use, but its value as a tool for humiliating and violating people, and, if the swabs are monitored via camera, blackmailing them,  is unparalleled.

That these are fascist-state techniques of population control is clear from the simultaneous rise of “Covid concentration camps,” for “Covid dissidents” in none other than Germany.
