Russia in Ukraine

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas testified Wednesday that the Department of Homeland Security is creating a “Disinformation Governance Board” to combat misinformation ahead of the 2022 midterms truth.

The timing is interesting. People are calling it "Ministry of Truth". Imperial Collapse Playbook. New World Order.

I'm, honestly, not having good feelings about this current state of the war. I think from Russia's point of view - they are already at war with NATO.

The internet "Iron Wall" is there and I reckon it will get taller.

Congressman Adam Kinzinger (R-IL) announced a new Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF). If passed, the AUMF will allow President Joe Biden to deploy American troops to defend Ukraine if Russia uses chemical, biological, or nuclear weapons.

False Flag away. It doesn't take a FBI profiler to see who the perps are. Please.

I thought about joining Twitter but the pillow guy came back so nah. (update: the pillow guy is banned again. I'll join if Putin starts trolling Musk.)

At the very least, I see a world in dire need of revolutions and trials of the entire political class for war crimes and crimes against humanity. And let's not forget the 'journalists' and the stinktankers. The stable needs mucking. - xymphora

History has shown us that Russia wins wars due to the unbelievable ability of the Russian people to take body blows that would cause any other group of people to collapse and surrender. It is almost as if Russian strategists have decided this war is going too well, and they have to hand some wins to the Ukrainians to toughen up Russian popular opinion for the coming really big event against NATO and the USA. They might want to try to win this war before starting to prepare for the next one, or they might not get the chance to be in the next one. Since the American strategy is to regime change Russia and turn it into an American peon state to be employed as cannon fodder in the planned American war against China, winning this war quickly is way more important to Russia than Russian planners seem to think. Fortunately, there is still time to start to take this war seriously, but time is running out fast. If the Americans manage to get more heavy artillery in place, the Ukrainians have shown themselves to be perfectly capable of bogging Russia down in that 'occupation' which will eventually sour Russian public opinion enough to lead to regime change. - xymphora

"Putin has cancer" seems to me like a projection of sort from the usual spiritual wickedness in high places.

The provisional results of evidence being collected about the work of U.S. bioweapons in Ukraine are simply astonishing. These are the main takeaways.

1. U.S. bioweapon ideologues comprise the leadership of the Democratic Party. By linking with non-governmental biotechnology organizations, using the investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros and Biden, they profited from additional campaign financing – all duly concealed. In parallel, they assembled the legislative basis for financing the bioweapons program directly from the federal budget.
2. COVID-19 vaccine manufacturers Pfizer and Moderna, as well as Merck and Gilead – of Donald “known unknowns” fame, and affiliated with the Pentagon – were directly involved.
3. U.S. specialists tested new drugs in the Ukraine biolabs in circumvention of international safety standards. According to Kirillov, acting this way “Western companies seriously reduce the costs of research programs and gain significant competitive advantages.”
4. According to Kirillov, “along with U.S. pharmaceutical companies and Pentagon contractors, Ukrainian government agencies are involved in military biotechnology activities, whose main tasks are to conceal illegal activities, conduct field and clinical trials and provide the necessary biomaterial.”
5. The Pentagon, Kirillov pointed out, expanded its research potential not only in terms of producing biological weapons, but also gathering information on antibiotic resistance and the presence of antibodies to certain diseases among the population in specific regions. The testing ground in Ukraine was practically outside the control of the so-called “international community”.

These findings, amply documented, suggest a vast “legitimized” bioweapon racket reaching the highest levels of the American body politic. There’s no doubt the Russians plan to thoroughly unmask it for the benefit of world public opinion, starting with a War Crimes Tribunal to be set up this summer, most probably in Donetsk.

An ongoing U.S. bioweapons program in Ukraine was one of the Top Three reasons that led to the launch of Operation Z, side by side with preventing an imminent NATO-managed blitzkrieg against Donbass and Kiev’s desire to re-start a nuclear weapons program. These are Top Three red lines for Russia.

The strength of the collected evidence may directly correlate with what was largely interpreted as a carefully measured Victory Day speech by President Putin. The Kremlin does not bluff. It will certainly privilege the meticulous presentation of – bioweapon – facts on the ground over grandstanding rhetoric.


I hear a rumor that "anti-vaxxers" are also "Russian misinformers"

It's not a stretch to think that people are purposely spreading misinformation to destabilise the Western economies. This is not something new and not related to covid or Russia invading Ukraine.

Not a stretch I agree. I'm still learning about covid. I know it would be easier to take it for what's on the surface and claim natural virus/mediocre vaccine. But I don't believe that. Too many evidence.

Anyone trust these people after 4 years of Russian Collusion bullshit? I sure don't. Sometimes I thought Trump was playing along with it.

Maybe they're just mentally ill.

PS. RT reporting that Russia is seeking to end its WTO and WHO membership.

I believe a whole world collusion would be impossible to execute. Sometimes it is just what it is.

Now a virus that started in a city that has a massive lab studying viruses. Now that's something worth looking into

The nazi hold-outs in Azovstal plant surrendered, as you may have heard. I think the bots on Twitter can take down their blue and yellow flags now.

American morale is super down but good news is that Operation Baby Formula was a great success! Yet Democrats and Republicans are still pissed.

The US commitment to the Ukraine is up to something like $65 billion? Profits are up and CEOs are now looking for new docks to park their superyachts.

It seems the plan is to damage Europe as much as possible, while enriching Russia as much as possible with the increase in prices. You know what is going to happen, right? Europe is being systematically deindustrialized, with the plan of these crooked 'geniuses' being to 'save the planet', with the manufacturing moved from Europe to places like China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India, places with lower labor costs, and no paid holidays, so the European industrialists can become even richer than they are now, while burning exactly the same amount of hydrocarbons!!! - xymphora

There's a photo of a murdered child on the blog. It's not a promotion of violent acts, the opposite is true that both the blogger and myself do not want to see children hurt physically and mentally.

Just throwing that out there in accordance with the current situation.

$6.45 for a gallon of Premium gas loooool

I'm sure it's worse in other cities or even countries but now that the Russia-Ukraine conflict has died down in the media, it still lives on strong via gas prices.

Also, the heat. I'm hearing a lot about the heat but I'm not sure if that's just a US thing right now or if the whole world is going through a heat wave at the same time.

Over $11 a gallon here.


But... A barrel of oil is currently $109. This isn't the highest it's very been, yet the price at the pumps really is.

My personal view, is that as with most industries, they are restricting supply to make up for the losses seen during covid. My BP shares have almost doubled over the last two years. It's also likely to push the transition to green energy a lot quicker as the business case will be stronger

Gas is 0.08 a gallon in Venezuela. Enjoy.

To some extent, for sure. Biden has recently said he has been meeting with oil execs and asking them to limit their own profits in the short term for the good of the country.

 

[Preach]

Norway has the second most expensive gas prices in the world right now. Only Hong Kong has us beat.

I hope he's not riding his bicycle to the meeting The oil execs should buy him training wheels.

Yeah, and prices always trend upwards during the summer. I remember people freaking out about $100+ a barrel oil back in 2007 or 08, during the recession. That summer was all about gas prices, which still aren't as bad as they are now.

$7 now at my local Shell. But I'm a Shell Rewards member so I get 10 cents off per gallon. Suck it, losers.

At the end of the Cold War, Russia was economically raped and globally humiliated. It came within inches of shattering into a dozen or more failed states. As the big money players head East, and the hegemonic powers turn from the US Empire to a new globalist powerbase, you have to wonder if the US is destined for the same fate.

Just as the USSR had to fail, and be seen to fail pour encourager les autres, perhaps the US – with its history of individualism and personal liberty – is considered surplus to requirements in the new age of faux collectivism.

Whatever America became at its Imperial zenith, its constitutional foundation has always arguably been the most egalitarian on Earth. Could it be that those ideas enshrined in the Bill of Rights are considered an impediment to the “progressive” New World Order?

The US falling into failed statehood could even act as a moral lesson to the rest of the world, and be held up as a warning about what can happen when “liberty is taken too far”, or when people are allowed to “selfishly put their own rights ahead of the public good”.

Perhaps the US being torn apart – or encouraged to tear itself apart – is key to bringing about the next stage of the great reset.

One thing is for sure, no matter the endgame, US politics are dry tinder piled high, waiting for a spark.
