“I will turn you about and put hooks into your jaws, and I will bring you out, and all your army, horses and horsemen, all of them splendidly attired, a great company with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords.”

“Mr Robertson said: “People say that Putin’s out of his mind. Yes, maybe so. But at the same time, he’s being compelled by God. He went into Ukraine but that wasn’t his goal. His goal was to move against Israel, ultimately.”

The ageing televangelist continued to say that Russia was using Ukraine as a “staging area” and God had put “hooks” in the Russian president’s “jaws” for a reason to draw him to this stage.”

Khan, in a tweet, asked the Biden administration whether its involvement in the “regime change conspiracy” had lessened or increased the anti-American sentiment in Pakistan.

“My question for the Biden Administration: By indulging in a regime change conspiracy to remove a democratically elected PM of a country of over 220 [million] people to bring in a puppet PM, do you think you have lessened or increased anti-American sentiment in Pakistan?” the PTI chairman said.

The incumbent government officials have repeatedly said that Khan is blaming America for his ouster as he had failed to deliver during his tenure, but the PTI chairman remains adamant that the US, in collaboration with the then-Opposition, was behind his ouster.

In a press conference last month, the PTI chairman claimed the Joe Biden administration official told Pakistan’s ex-ambassador to the US that Khan would have to be removed through a no-confidence motion.

Khan had said although some people here were unaware of the “conspiracy”, the person sitting in London, PML-N supremo Nawaz Sharif, his brother PM Shehbaz, and PPP co-chairman Asif Ali Zardari was all part of it.

Although the Daily Beast maligned López by traducing his previous work, López’ relevance is that, as he was “our man on the spot,” he could ask if anyone had been raped and speaks English. Before the Nazis hijacked his twitter account, López began his last tweet “You want to learn the truth about the Zelensky regime? Google these names: Vlodymyr Struk, Denis Kireev, Mikhail & Aleksander Kononovich, Nestor Shufrych, Yan Taksyur, Dmitri Djangirov, Elena Berezhnaya.” The tweet finished with this sombre message: “If you haven’t heard from me in 12 hours or more, put my name on this list.” As Ukrainian Nazis and American citizen journalists allied to them wrongly claimed Gonzalo Lira was captured, tortured and executed by Sergei ‘Chili’ Velichko from the special unit Azov-affiliated Kraken unit, which are also implicated in violating the Geneva Convention by shooting Russian prisoners, we now move on to their handiwork……

My takeaway message is that no citizen journalist, who values their life, should go anywhere near these Nazi psychotics, just as they should not go anywhere near any other type of organized crime gang; the Ukrainian Nazis’ more recent murder of Valery Kuleshov, another dissident citizen journalist, reinforces that belief.

MOSCOW: Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday said the discovery of bodies in the Ukrainian town of Bucha was a “provocation” aimed at scuppering talks between Moscow and Kyiv.

Where [Stephen] Cohen was once considered a luminary within the Russian scholarly community, his star has fallen precipitously over the past few years, such that he’s been described by The New Republic as “Putin’s American Toady.” Not only has Cohen described the illegal referendum in Crimea in 2014 as “legitimate” — language echoing leaders like Putin — but he has further questioned the notion that Russia invaded southern Ukraine, noting that Russia’s incursion was “an invasion only in the sense that [Russian troops] left the base on Crimea.”

The push-back against Cohen’s analysis has also extended beyond his writings. According to Coda Story, Cohen has “charged… that all of his enemies were ‘McCarthyists’ who were keeping him from speaking out.” Cohen’s writings at The Nation, where he works as a contributing editor, have also helped lead to “[s]taffers at The Nation… openly revolting against the magazine’s pro-Russian tilt,” per The Chronicle of Higher Education. (Cohen’s work has been endorsed by, among others, prominent white supremacist David Duke, whose website noted that Cohen “has no peer in his ability to destroy the anti-Russia and anti-Putin lies.”)

As it is, when asked via email whether he had any reaction to Doctorow writing for Russia Insider, Cohen offered a lengthy response:

If you look at list of [ACEWA] Board members, you see they are very diverse people. The ACEWA is not responsible for or necessarily endorses what individual Board members may do or say, or not do or not say. Apart from our sponsored events, there is no collective responsibility. Many, perhaps most, do not share many of my own publicly stated views, for example. I have my own opinions about Doctorow and Russia Insider, but they are my personal ones and have no bearing whatsoever on the ACEWA. I do not practice collective denunciations based on guilt by association, having long been a student of the Soviet Stalin-era and seen where they led.

What Sort Of Western People Fly  A Ukrainian Flag?

Excerpt:

The Devil’s Pawns

There are the ones who consciously know what they are doing. They actually believe in the superiority of the West over the Rest, that the West is ‘best’, ‘unique’ and ‘exceptional’. These are the Niall Fergusons and the Douglas Murrays (‘The War on the West’). They believe in Western imperialism and that NATO must support the terrorist regime in Kiev, just as, before it, NATO’s Washington masters have supported any number of drug-running tinpot gangsters and dictators in Latin America and Asia. Apparently, the West is best brigade have never heard the story of Gandhi, who visited London in the 1930s and, when asked by a journalist what he thought of Western civilisation, is said to have answered: ‘I think it is a very good idea’. These are the sinister people who are in power and their useful idiot supporting ideologues, who realise that if the West loses the Ukraine, this will be the turning-point and the collapse of their ethnocentric, ‘I love Me’ nightmare world. They are the Anglo-Zionists.

As for us, we do not believe in One World ‘Government’ (i.e. One World Dictatorship), in planetary hegemony and homogeneity, in one size fits all, as decided by a self-appointed top-down global elite of super-Capitalist mega-rich. We have other values, far older and far newer than theirs, because our values are timeless, representing Continuity and even approaching Eternity. We believe in spiritual identity – personal, familial and national identity, because we believe that all the really important things are higher than money. We believe in civilisational values, in cultural traditions and historical memory, we believe in humanity (remember that?), in truth, in national sovereignty, social justice and prosperity for all. Yes, all those values are higher than Capital, Mammon, the filthy lucre, on which they base their whole way of life. And that is why we will not fly the made-up flag of a made-up country, which exists only as an excuse for the self-justification of money-lusting global tyrants.

According to the PR adviser, Zelensky made two wise strategic judgments, “maybe because of his background in public relations, comedy and television.” He began by portraying Ukraine as the weaker side.

“Once upon a time, being strong was considered an advantage. Today, thanks to social media, power has passed into the hands of the weak,” he explained.

Instead, he [Zelensky] allegedly exploited the Western belief that those who are weak are deprived, unaccepted, and in need of assistance. He rapidly persuaded the West that the complicated issue of the ongoing Ukraine crisis and the reasons behind the current events was black and white – “us” or “them.”

Einhorm noted the fact that on Western television, there are no Ukrainian military officers to be seen. And given that Ukraine has an army, and they employ violence as well, they are still “entirely under the radar” for the Western viewers. “We see only Zelensky and only civilians,’ he pointed out.

“The West is excited about Ukraine. Zelensky has recognized the means of soft power and emotions in the Western World and is making the best of them to exert pressure and sanctions on Russia. Without it, he would have been very quickly defeated,” Einhorn concluded, adding that “Ukraine has a weak army, but social networks are strong.”
For instance, last month, Zelensky initiated a social media campaign with the hashtag #ArmUkraineNow to put pressure on states to ramp up weapons deliveries to Ukraine.

Adam Weishaupt was born on May 1, 1748, into a Jewish family that began to present itself as Roman Catholic at the beginning of the 17th century and infiltrated the local population of the German city of Ingolstadt. Adam became a Roman Catholic “priest” and Jesuit who recognized Lucifer as his master and began practicing witchcraft and Satanism. He was astonished to learn that the day of his birth was linked to an ancient pagan belief and custom of celebrating the pagan holiday of Beltan in honor of nature and fertility, which pagans celebrated on April 30, and the satanic holiday of Walpurgis Night, which was celebrated on the night between April 30. and May 1. Then he decided to found the secret satanic fraternity Illuminati (enlightened) or Perfectionists on his 28th birthday, May 1, 1776. The goal of that brotherhood was and remains to destroy the current way of life, order and moral norms with one world revolution, and to challenge the creation of a New World Order!

As far as the Illuminati have succeeded in their goals, it is enough to look at the symbol of the American empire – the American dollar. It is full of Judeo-Masonic symbols such as the unfinished pyramid with the all-seeing eye, and the year 1776 is written in Roman numerals at the bottom of the pyramid.

That is how Adam Weishaupt and the Illuminati decided to impose on the whole world an organized “May Day reception” and the celebration of the satanic holiday “Walpurgis Night”, whose celebration would pay homage to Lucifer! All they needed was a mask to hide the true meaning of that “holiday”, and thus imposed it on all humanity under a more acceptable mask! The Illuminati, using their great influence in America, encouraged and organized demonstrations of workers in Chicago and a conflict between workers and the police. They timed it all for May 1, 1. Using the influence of Karl Marx, who was a member of the secret society “League of the Righteous” (one of the branches of the Illuminati), which he had on the labor movement, the Illuminati managed to impose that May 1886 be celebrated as “All Workers’ Day”. ….Very quickly, all the governments of the world (and in all governments the main word is the Freemasons) accepted this “holiday” and introduced a celebration in their countries.
