One day in a land far away and a time long gone a Priest came to where the Many were tending their crops and livestock and said…

“There are locusts coming and we must prepare!”

“But locusts come every year and all the years gone by”, the Many replied, “It is always so, why must we prepare?”

“These are not the locusts of all the years gone by,” the Priest said, “these are new and terrible locusts that I call by a New Name. We must prepare.”

“What do these new and terrible locusts with the New Name do?” the Many asked in great fear.

“Why,” said the Priest, “they consume a portion of our crops and then move on.”

The Many trembled in dread.

“But this is what locusts always do”, one man of the Many said, “why must we prepare this year when we never have before?”

The Priest regarded the one man of the Many.

“Did you not hear me?” he said. “These are not the old locusts of years gone by, these are new and terrible locusts and they have a New Name. We MUST PREPARE.”

“But what do the new and terrible locusts with the New Name do that is worse than the old locusts of years gone by?” the one man said.

“Why, are you a fool?” the priest cried. “Did I not tell you they consume our crops and then move on. We MUST PREPARE!”

“Yes, we must prepare!” cried the many in unison, though they did not know what this required.

“We are fueling a proxy war in Ukraine in order to defend freedom, such as the freedom to censor dissenting views on our proxy war in Ukraine” — Aaron Maté

How long do we have to wait before Volodymyr Zelensky opens a disco in Boca Raton? That’s one of the questions raised by the secret CIA documents leaked last week, supposedly by a 21-year-old National Guard airman in Massachusetts named Jack Teixeira. Since that’s about the lowliest rank in the whole US military, you have to wonder how Jack got his mitts on all that embarrassing info, and what it says about the Pentagon’s command structure and its relations with the Intel “Community.”

I guess our cyber-security isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. But then, neither is our war effort in Ukraine. Yes, our war effort. We own this war from tail to snout, lock, stock, and barrel, the whole shootin’ match. We started it (in 2014, when we began the preps there), we goaded the Russians into it in bad faith, and now we’re losing it. Why? Because it was a stupid venture from the get-go. Now, it’s really a matter of how psychotic our government’s reaction will be when the Russians restore order to the place.

Restore order? That’s right. I believe that’s what they’re aiming to do. Our country went into Ukraine to create disorder in that corner of the world — which has been within Russia’s sphere-of-influence for over three hundred years, you understand. Sowing disorder is what we do, usually with very bloody consequences plus a bad outcome. Except for our stunning victory in the Caribbean island nation of Grenada, 1983, this has been our country’s practice in recent decades.

A recent survey showed that no more than a quarter of the people in the UK think the NHS provides a decent or even adequate service. Huge numbers of NHS employees say that they would not want their loved ones to be treated in the hospital or health centre where they work.

What most of them don’t realise, of course, is that the global plan is to destroy health care completely. In the UK the plan (promoted by the Government and the medical establishment) is to destroy the NHS. And the plan is working well: today there is NO effective or reliable health care in Briton. Millions of Britons now do their best to treat themselves. Anyone planning to visit Britain should be aware that there is no health care in the country.

For three years it has been easy to show that such health care as there is in Britain is worse today than it was 50 years ago. And arguably it is worse than it was 70 years ago.

Indeed, it is worse than would be acceptable in many backward, third-world countries. The lies which are told about health care are extraordinary. For example, many of those defending the NHS claim that GPs still provide a 24 hour emergency service. They make this disingenuous claim because the NHS provides a 24 hour telephone service through which a very small number of GPs will provide telephone only advice to patients. Each GP is responsible for millions of patients at night and at weekends and cannot possibly visit any of them. The truth is that GPs now work on average no more than 26 hours a week and patients often have to wait weeks to be seen.

Responding to a few comments from the post about James Roguski’s research on the World Health Organization procedures for adoption of amendments to the 2005 International Health Regulations and adoption of new treaties, paraphrased:

What entity or agency or person/people does the actual enforcing? Who? What form would the "enforcing" take? What would be the consequences of just refusing? …I doubt that agents or soldiers from the United Nations would come after leaders of the countries that just ignored it all.

My reply, expanded: Some national leaders have been assassinated. The most obvious was the President of Tanzania, John Magufuli, killed in March 2021 shortly after he began demonstrating and talking about some of the core frauds supporting the globally-coordinated mass murder and enslavement campaign disguised as a public health emergency. Those assassinations, like most assassinations, send a very clear message to other national leaders not to step out of line.

But the primary enforcement mechanism, as I understand the structure of the global extortion system, is financial. National governments that don't comply lose access to international banking systems: transaction processing; loans; manageable interest rates on borrowing; currency stability; aid packages. Everything. The lifeblood of their economies is drained.

From the RAND Corporation’s 2019 paper on how to destabilise
Russia. This document shows that the US was aiming for a campaign
of subversion against Russia, in which Ukraine was only an un-
fortunate instrument.

[October 1, 2022] The recapture of the Kharkov region at the beginning of September appears to be a success for Ukrainian forces. Our media exulted and relayed Ukrainian propaganda to give us a picture that is not entirely accurate. A closer look at the operations might have prompted Ukraine to be more cautious.

From a military point of view, this operation is a tactical victory for the Ukrainians and an operational/strategic victory for the Russian coalition.

On the Ukrainian side, Kiev was under pressure to achieve some success on the battlefield. Volodymyr Zelensky was afraid of a fatigue from the West and that its support would stop. This is why the Americans and the British pressed him to carry out offensives in the Kherson sector. These offensives, undertaken in a disorganised manner, with disproportionate casualties and without success, created tensions between Zelensky and his military staff.

Illegitimately installed Biden regime criminals run the empire of lies and forever wars.

A previous article discussed Trump’s politicized indictment, ignoring his crimes of war and against humanity because of far greater guilt by illegitimately installed Dems.

A state of war has existed against Russia by the empire of lies since 2014 by use of expendable Ukrainian Nazified and conscript foot soldiers. The former nation state was transformed into a platform for perpetual US aggression against Russia, its cannon fodder troops crushed by its military and tactical superiority.

Yet in its latest fake news edition, the NYT again trampled on truth as follows, saying:

(Nazi-infested) “Ukraine rebuffed a Russian offensive over the winter (sic).” “Now, it is Ukraine’s turn to go on the attack (sic).” “Signs are everywhere that it is coming in the next month or so (sic).”

Each time Nazi-infested Ukraine attempted an offensive, Russian forces smashed it decisively. Most arms and equipment supplied by the US/West to the regime were destroyed. According to Wagner Group founder, Yevgeny Prigozhin, they captured and control the strategically important town of Artyomovsk. The regime sent tens of thousands of troops to their death in a futile effort to hold what’s lost to militarily superior Russian forces.

Yet the Biden regime continues throwing good money after bad in pursuit of a lost cause in Ukraine.

State terror is longstanding policy by the empire of lies, its Western vassals and Ukrainian Nazis.

In cahoots with each other, they murdered prominent truth-telling Russian military correspondent, "Vladlen Tatarsky" (Maxim Yurievich Fomin), in cold blood at a St. Petersburg cafe.

Turning truth on its head and trampling on it in its latest fake news edition, the NYT falsely reported the following:

It wrongfully accused him of “represent(ing) a radical wing of pro-Russian, pro-invasion bloggers and activists (sic).” It trampled on truth by falsely calling Russian media “restrictive (to) disseminate news, opinion and pro-war propaganda.”

Censorship is longstanding US/Western practice by its ruling regimes and MSM co-conspirators. It’s worlds apart different from Russian truth-telling, especially on major issues mattering most.

In the empire of lies and its Western vassals, truth and full disclosure of what’s vital for everyone to know is banned and at times criminalized. The same reality applies to democracy as it should be, the real thing absent throughout the depraved, decadent West.

Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. (Markus Schreiber/AP)

There has been a global coup. The covid-19 fraud was devised with a purpose; it was part of a plan which started in earnest back in the 1960s when a group of people met and agreed that the world was overcrowded. They decided to cut the size of the population down to a level last seen in the middle of the 17th century.

Some of the people who decided this were very rich. A Mr Rothschild, a Mr Rockefeller and some other bankers. And some of the plotters worked for a big, international, left wing organisation called the United Nations.

It seems a strange mixture of capitalist bankers and commie bureaucrats but you have to remember that there is no discernible difference between fascism and communism – so they got on well together.

This strange bunch of evil people decided that they needed something with which they could scare the living daylights out of the world’s population; a threat, a danger that would enable them to persuade billions to accept a totalitarian world government and a smaller global population. It was suggested that a good war would be a good idea. Wars have always been popular with despots. They give a chance to introduce lots of new laws and there’s the added side effect that millions of people can be killed off.

1. Several hundred thousand doctors are heading for bankruptcy – and the pain of losing their licences to practice. Doctors who injected their patients with the covid-19 jabs (the jabs which didn’t do what government officials promised they were supposed to do but which did cause the health problems I warned they would create) believe that they are indemnified by their governments (which , at Bill Gates’ suggestion, offered blanket indemnity to drug companies). I’m no lawyer (thank heavens) but I know a fraud when I see one and it is clear that everyone lied about the covid-19 jabs. If doctors can be shown to have given jabs without checking out what they were doing, and warning their patients of the risks, then surely they will be responsible legally – as well as morally. And in that case the class action lawsuits will be legion and doctors will be running for the hills. (It is surely possible that the police will be chasing them. It cannot possibly be legal for thousands of doctors to give deadly vaccines to millions of patients.)

2. The unions, the WEF and Common Purpose have, in my view, trained a generation of psychopaths.

3. As I have been saying for decades, no one has ever tested to find out if it is safe to give numerous different vaccines to the same individual. The whole global vaccination programme is an unmonitored experiment.

4. Anyone who promotes the wearing of masks is a dangerous idiot. If they are medically qualified they are a dangerous idiot with knobs on. For the truth about masks read my book Proof that masks do more harm than good. You can purchase a copy via the bookshop on [my] website.

Why is China trying to reconcile Russia and Ukraine? Many analysts are asking themselves this fair question. After all, for such a reconciliation to take place, Ukraine must first be freed from the yoke of U.S. domination. It is necessary to completely change the ruling class there, remove all Western intelligence agents, all agents of influence from the country, change the system of education of the population and the formation of the ruling elites.

In essence, it is necessary to make a revolution in Ukraine. But such a revolution is absolutely impossible without the military defeat of the entire combined West involved in the battle with Russia on the banks of the Dnieper.

The current authorities in Ukraine are puppets completely dependent on Washington, whose personal fate depends on the extent to which they are able to implement American interests.

■ Talking to Vladimir Zelensky about peace with Russia is as useless as talking to the United States about universal security. Washington's goal is not peace, but domination, for only this, in its mind, guarantees its security.

For America to be safe, all others must be in danger. If there is no such danger, then the U.S. itself is in danger. The search for ways to be dangerous to all the countries of the world has been engaged in by the United States throughout its history, and this is the basis of its conception of foreign policy.

The Galician genocide: Before the region became the center of Ukrainian nationalism, local Russophiles were annihilated in some of Europe’s first concentration camps

Galicia, a historical region in the West of Ukraine, is currently the center of the country’s nationalist movement. However, things were once very different. A little over a hundred years ago, representatives of opposing Russophile and pro-Ukrainian political movements competed for the loyalty of the local Ruthenian population, also known as Rusyns. Galicia’s Russophiles welcomed the beginning of the First World War as a step toward an anticipated reunion with Russia. However the Ukrainian movement remained loyal to Austria-Hungary. With the help of the latter, Vienna killed off the Rusyn intelligentsia, which it considered a “fifth column”. To accomplish this, the Hapsburgs set up concentration camps. What happened next amounted to a genocide.

The beginning of the tragedy – By the start of the First World War, the Russophile movement in Galicia was experiencing tough times. As a result of the “divide and rule” policy implemented by the Austrians, the movement suffered a split. The oldest and most respected organizations ended up in the hands of pro-Austrian leaders who advocated Ukrainian, not Rusyn, identity.

After the army of the Russian Empire crossed the border on August 18, 1914, and launched an offensive in Galicia, mass repressions swept through the region. People fell victim to the rage of the Austrian authorities over trifling matters – like possessing Russian literature, being a member of a Russian society, having a Russian education, or just sympathizing with Saint Petersburg. In some cases, people were arrested just for calling themselves Russians. Prisons were full of “enemies of the state” and “dangerous Moscow agents”, and the streets were lined with gallows.

[July 25th, 2009] Israeli expansionists, their intentions to take full control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip and permanently keep the Golan Heights of Syria and expand into southern Lebanon already well known, also have their eyes on parts of Iraq considered part of a biblical “Greater Israel.”

Israel reportedly has plans to relocate thousands of Kurdish Jews from Israel, including expatriates from Kurdish Iran, to the Iraqi cities of Mosul and Nineveh under the guise of religious pilgrimages to ancient Jewish religious shrines. According to Kurdish sources, the Israelis are secretly working with the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) to carry out the integration of Kurdish and other Jews into areas of Iraq under control of the KRG.

Kurdish, Iraqi Sunni Muslims, and Turkmen have noted that Kurdish Israelis began to buy land in Iraqi Kurdistan, after the U.S. invasion in 2003, that is considered historical Jewish “property.”

The Israelis are particularly interested in the shrine of the Jewish prophet Nahum in al Qush, the prophet Jonah in Mosul, and the tomb of the prophet Daniel in Kirkuk. Israelis are also trying to claim Jewish “properties” outside of the Kurdish region, including the shrine of Ezekiel in the village of al-Kifl in Babel Province near Najaf and the tomb of Ezra in al-Uzayr in Misan Province, near Basra, both in southern Iraq’s Shi’a-dominated territory. Israeli expansionists consider these shrines and tombs as much a part of “Greater Israel” as Jerusalem and the West Bank, which they call “Judea and Samaria.”

Israel leaves no opportunity without exploiting it to bring new settlers to it. The Israeli government has prepared a plan to bring in French Jews in light of the significant decline in the number of Jewish immigrants from around the world in recent years.

In this context, Hebrew media revealed that the Israeli government is allocating a special budget in the general budget for the year 2023, as part of a plan to encourage French Jews to immigrate to Israel.

An expert on Israeli affairs, Ehab Jabarin, says, “The reason for targeting Jews in France in particular is due to the fact that many of them are of African descent, and they had arrived in France not long ago in an attempt to integrate into Western society. This fits perfectly with the extremist tendencies of the current government in Tel Aviv and its fascist settler ideology.”

The 1950 Law of Return enables any Jew from around the world to become an Israeli citizen entitled to numerous government benefits, including financial aid, tax breaks, free Hebrew courses, and a free flight to Israel. In 2015 alone, nearly 8,000 French Jews made what is known as Aliyah—ascent to the Holy Land—the largest number from any Western nation in a single year. Jabarin points out that those ideological components have always been a driver of the Israeli scene before any other consideration.

Liberating the strategically important town of Artyomovsk is key to freeing Donbass entirely from the scourge of Nazified occupation. It’s a major blow to the empire of lies and Western vassals, as well as to Nazi-infested Ukraine.

On Friday, according to Wagner Group head, Yevgeny Prigozhin:

Its units “surrounded” the town. One road alone was left open for regime troops to lay down their arms and surrender, along with letting civilians flee from harm’s way, adding Russian and Wagner Group fighters earlier combatted regime troops. “(T)oday (they’re) seeing more and more elders and children."

Over the past year, Russian forces obliterated Ukrainian Nazified and conscript cannon fodder. Citing the regime’s so-called general staff, MSM reported the following:

About 260,000 Ukrainian troops were killed. Nearly 250,000 others were wounded. Another 84,000 deserted their ranks to stay alive. About 28,000 were captured by Russian forces. In total, over 600,000 regime troops were wiped out, wounded, or otherwise taken out of action.
