"What is the Real Target/Objective of US Offence Policy in Europe?" by Henry Kamens

 

What is the Real Target/Objective of US Offence Policy in Europe?

WEA

The propaganda machine in the US is fueled by the ignorance of the American public, who still believe, with hand on heart, that the US government is on their side and motivated by altruism. However, the rest of the world is not so naïve, as more and more countries are waking up to the fallout of US policy.

I just wonder how long the conflict in Ukraine can last … as history tells, war can be an economy building activity, even more than peace. World War Two put the US back on its economic feet, and Germany too, in preparation for it.

I wonder at times if the US is really more interested in destroying the EU than weakening Russia and helping a fledgling democracy. This is a moot point, now that Ukraine is anything but a democracy.

We are waiting for an insight from a “little bird” as to the energy policy implications of the conflict for Western Europe and the World – the BIGGER scheme of things, as it seems everything is in flux and flowing in all directions. Much is being done in the name of Democratic Development, as the United States has long used this concept as a weapon to undermine democracy in the name of democracy, to incite division and confrontation, and to meddle in other countries’ internal affairs, causing catastrophic consequences.

The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), as one of the US government’s main “foot soldiers”, “white gloves” and “democracy crusaders”, has subverted lawful governments and cultivated pro-US puppet forces around the world under the pretext of promoting democracy. Its disgraceful track record has aroused strong discontent in the international community, and even in the countries which still go running to the benefits it brings.

The CIA/NED/Deep State has only one aim – to control Russia, so that it can control China. In spite of the plans in place, the degree to which US companies will profit from Ukraine is yet to be seen.

But it’s the CIA’s job to help them. Ukraine has been a failure since March 2022, when the USA discovered how little support it had in the world. As witnessed by the hatred of 270 million Indonesians cheering for Russia, the conflict is often seen as a proxy war between Russia and the USA, in line with many historical precedents, but this is not enough to divide the “good” countries from the “bad”, as the US always hopes its interventions will.

So feeling impotent, the CIA threatens Ethiopia by invading Somalia, then causes trouble for border region Serbs in Kosovo, and recently aggravated a “minding its own business” China. But it’s becoming almost impossible for the CIA to create real chaos, and the world knows their playbook.

Without the ability to change governments at will both NATO and the military industrial complex will die, and with them that evil organisation, bent on global domination, the CIA.

Friends in low places

Early indications are that things are not going well, especially on the side of Ukraine, and damage control is in full swing, as seen by indicators that are not well known to most people. For instance in early August, Zelensky revoked the diplomatic passport of to Iasko, the Ukrainian wife of former Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili’s wife, and David Arakhamia.

My first reactions, in hearing of her diplomatic passport being revoked, were, wonderful, let her go and fight! Or entertain the troops! David Arakhamia, who is part of the former Georgian ruling party the United National Movement, though in Ukraine and Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister, just happens to be in charge of arms procurement, and, may I add, resale.

Moreover, it appears that Zelensky fully understands that there is a greater and more insidious plan to use the Georgian Legion to try and overthrow the legally-elected Georgian government and bring Mikheil Saakashvili back as a figurehead leader. This appears to be another of the unadvertised quids pro quo for gaining US support, though it has nothing directly to do with Ukraine.

The cottage industry of arms smuggling in Ukraine and Eastern Europe, with the enforced involvement of Georgia and Azerbaijan, is nothing new. When the Ukrainian war turns bad, which seems to now be the case, many of those fighting on the side of Kyiv will turn up in Georgia.

Many weapons are already here, some stocks dating back to before the 2008 Georgian-Russian war. It will not take much to stage a coup, and there are full coffers to bankroll it.

Moreover, many of the CIA-funded “volunteers,” – including anti-Russian Chechens, some of whom happen to be Georgian citizens, will suddenly be looking for a new cause, as were the moderate rebels from Syria. It is a given that the US and NATO need a base of operations close to Russia, and Ukraine is losing that function.

Having once supplanted Georgia in the role, Ukraine will not able to serve as that base of operations anymore. Georgia has the experience and the lack of effective sovereignty, thanks to Uncle Sam, to make a regression there possible, regardless of which government is in power.

Method in Madness

What has transpired in Ukraine was intended to provoke Russia into a war, using Ukrainians as a proxy force, and leaving no other option but for Russia to react. The US/NATO gave Russia no other alternative.

NATO refused any diplomacy. The Minsk agreement was merely a delaying tactic and soon Ukraine was back to bombing Donbass, mostly civilian targets, where it has killed at least 15,000 since 2014, mostly ethnic Russian speaking people.

For the West it is a moot point that these were Ukrainian citizens, and Kyiv was making war with itself in the wake of 2014. The same West which cannot decide who started the First World War and why can now apportion blame with absolute certainty, until it comes to its own crimes in its own former colonies and elsewhere, which are brushed off as a form or moral inevitability.

So what is left?

It does not take a PhD to connect the dots and see what is going on. Georgia is under now greater threat from the criminals in Ukraine than anything claimed to be coming from itsnorthern neighbour.

I earnestly hope Russia will not have to intervene to save Georgia from itself, as it has so many times in history. As the Georgian expression goes, the Castle Walls fall from within, and from outside.

It is becoming clear that Georgia needs to detain any Georgians returning from Ukraine and filter their histories and where they have been trained. Moreover, it must not let foreign fighters cross its international borders – many will be disguised as tourists or NGO workers.

I hope I am wrong, and my intelligence is wrong, I mean – my trusted sources. But it would be highly ironic if the same Georgia which once sent gangs of street thugs and martial artists to Ukraine as “election observers” was given a taste of its own medicine and be likewise powerless to stop it.

The arms and contraband smuggling mechanism is well established, using Azeri logistics companies, planes without tail numbers and Turkish intelligence. The disappearing weapons, lost in imaginary conflicts, go to Turkey and then on to Syria, for use by US sanctioned terrorists who profess a deep hatred of Americans and all the US claims to stand for.

This is where much of the donated weaponry which does not reach the Donbass front is actually headed. A lot of the weapons sent to Ukraine over the last 8 years were until recently moved on to the Middle East to ISIS, so what has recently been revealed in Ukraine is nothing new.

Many of these weapons were routed from Odessa by ship down to Turkey, often via Georgian ports. This is why and how Saakashvilli was made governor of Odessa whilst on the run from Georgian justice and not even having Ukrainian citizenship, a status which has now been revoked by the Ukrainian government on the grounds that they did not know who he was or how he got it – but someone did.

Dividing up the spoils of war

Meanwhile, depending on the source you read or personal contacts, one trend is becoming apparent: the line is forming to divvy up the spoils, based on the template used in the former Yugoslavia. Two of the names which are emerging are Monsanto and Cargill, who are both ready and able to buy up or take control of what’s left of Ukrainian farmland, eager to avoid too much scrutiny back home.

Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto (which is officially German-Australian but with American capital) have bought 17 million hectares of Ukrainian agricultural land. It is claimed that amongst the main shareholders of these three companies are Vanguard, Blackrock and Blackstone.

We know who owns these, let’s just call them “deep state entities”. Their agricultural interests involve most of the illegal drugs circulating in the world, which are grown in areas owned by or affiliated with the US under various guises, able to operate and exporttheir produce only through US -controlled safe routes.

The greatest looter of all will be the creditors, as in economic hit men, Bretton Woods entities, who will donate and then profit from billions in loans from the IMF. It is as if the real purpose of the Ukrainian conflict is but to set the stage for a feeding frenzy, as with oil in Syria, and claims otherwise on the part of the West are but lame rhetoric.

It is ironic that Russia’s special operation is largely financed by the West, which pays for it through record energy prices created by its own sanctions on Russia and failed or misguided energy policies.

If the West really wants to deprive Russia of money it must immediately lift the sanctions and restart importing oil, gas and coal from Russia at then much lower prices.

But there is no irony when we realise that the more active the enemy is, the more the existing paradigms must be supported. Too many have too much to lose to be able to work with any country considered different, and find solutions to common problems, let alone those only affecting partners rather than the US itself.

At the end of March, after negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Turkey, there was nearly an agreement on a ceasefire and on the end of the war. Joe Biden then tasked Boris Johnson with telling Zelensky to continue the war, or the West would stop paying him.

Zelensky did as he was told, and stopped all negotiations with Russia. Why? Now you know!

"Silenced healthcare workers speak out publicly for the first time" by Steve Kirsch

 

Silenced healthcare workers speak out publicly for the first time

Here's what silenced healthcare workers from all over the world want you to know and why they aren't able to speak out directly.

RNs will not be silenced | New York State Nurses Association

created a form to ask healthcare workers to speak anonymously about what they are seeing.

Here’s what they said in their own words.

Here is a quick summary of some of the things they said:

  1. They are afraid to come out publicly due to intimidation tactics such as loss of job and/or license to practice medicine.

  2. Unvaccinated healthcare workers are extremely upset with the medical community. They feel they have been treated unfairly.

  3. It is the vaccinated workers who are getting sick with COVID, but it is the unvaccinated who are punished with constant testing, restrictions, and threats of losing their jobs.

  4. The COVID shots are a disaster. Even for the elderly which is supposed to be the most compelling use case, death rates in elderly homes went up by a factor of 5 after the shots rolled out. Each time the shots are given, the deaths spike. Nobody is talking publicly about this. It’s not allowed.

  5. “I have a patient who owns an adult care home that gave vaccinations to their six adult clients. They all died within a week.”

  6. Doctors are seeing rates of injury and death increase dramatically in all ages of people. The injuries are only happening to the vaccinated. There is no doubt that this is happening but many doctors have so much cognitive dissonance that they don’t see it.

  7. One nurse with 23 years of experience says she’s never heard of anyone under 20 dying from cardiac issues until the vaccines rolled out. Now she knows of around 30 deaths.

  8. “I have been a nurse for 36 years. I have NEVER witnessed people in their 20s and 30s having strokes, atrial fibrillation, or cardiomyopathies until the Covid vaccines. I work in cardiology. When I mention that someone should look at the vaccines as a possible reason, I am immediately silenced and told, “It is NOT from the vaccine.””

  9. Doctors aren’t recording vaccination status in the medical records so that all the deaths are attributed to the unvaccinated.

  10. Doctors are deliberately ignoring the possibility that the vaccines could be the cause of all the elevated events. The events are simply all unexplained.

  11. Many doctors have either quit or will quit.

  12. Some doctors and nurses at top institutions such as Mass General Hospital have falsified vaccine cards. They publicly toe the line and encourage their patients to take the shot knowing full well it is deadly. They value their job more than the lives of their patients. The important thing is they are risking 10 years in jail for doing this. These highly respected medical workers are telling the world that these COVID shots are so dangerous that they are willing to risk 10 years in prison to avoid taking the shot. That’s the message America needs to hear. And if Biden were an honest President, he would call for full amnesty and protection from retaliation for all these cases if people admitted publicly they did this. He’d be amazed at the number of responses he’d get. But he won’t do that because it would be too embarrassing for his administration.

  13. Things don’t seem to be getting any better.

  14. The medical examiners all over the world are not doing the proper tests during an autopsy to detect a vaccine-related death. Without doing the necessary tests, it is very hard to make an association. There isn’t a single “guidance” document from any medical authority anywhere in the world to do these tests on people who die within 3 months of their last COVID vaccination. This is why no associations are found: they aren’t looking and it is deliberate. The mainstream press doesn’t call them out on this either.

  15. Doctors are being forced to take other vaccines so the hospital can meet their quota. This was admitted to them.

The document paints a very troubling picture of healthcare in America

It is very difficult to read that document and come away thinking that everything is working fine.

If you read the document and think everything is just fine, it means one or more of the following is true:

  1. You work in the White House

  2. You work at the CDC, FDA, or NIH

  3. You are a member of Congress or are a staff member for a member of Congress (Ron Johnson and his staff are excluded)

  4. You work in the mainstream media

  5. You are a top executive at a mainstream social media company

  6. You work in the mainstream medical community (doctor or academic)

  7. You are a miserable excuse for a human being

  8. You are an exemplary blue-pilled individual; you are just the type of citizen that your government wants to have

If you are troubled by what you read, here is what you can do

If you read through the document and are as troubled by what is going on and you want to hold these people accountable, there are two simple thing you can do to make a difference:

  1. Share this article on all your social media platforms

  2. Make a donation to help re-elect Senator Ron Johnson (click here for the donation link). He’s the most important person in Congress that will hold these people accountable. This is why he’s the #1 target of Democrats.

Want to speak to any of these people?

If you are a member of the press and want to speak to any of these people, you can use the Contact me form to make your request. In the Notes part of the form, specify the database line number of the person(s) you want to contact.

Please share this post widely. Do it now.

The mainstream press will not share this information. This isn’t misinformation; these are all true stories, many of which are impossible to explain if the vaccines are truly safe and effective. Taken together, they are a stunning indictment of a medical system that has been corrupted through government incentives.

It is important for people throughout the world to hear from the healthcare workers whose voices have been silenced by the medical community. Please do it now.

"How Woke Is Nietzsche?" by Giles Fraser

 

How woke is Nietzsche?

He believed in self-ID before it was cool

BY 

Giles Fraser is a journalist, broadcaster and Vicar of St Anne's, Kew.

“There are no facts,” said Nietzsche, “only interpretations.” Some think the philosopher, who died on this day in 1900, went mad through syphilis; others that he had brain cancer. But whatever the cause of his death, a type of madness has been his legacy — the madness that comes about when truth is regarded simply as a matter of perspective, “a mobile army of metaphors,” as Nietzsche described it. Truth is what we say it is, he insisted, what we want it to be. It is a plastic notion subject to our will.

Now, what was once an abstract idea in philosophy has become disturbingly real. Where we used to maintain that reality provided us with certain givens, many now argue that we can uncouple ourselves from those givens, and construct ourselves with reference to our will alone. The obvious example is the debate around sex and gender. We used to think that biological sex was a kind of given; now, increasingly, some think of it as something that has been merely “assigned”. And that our gender, our self-image, is to be taken as metaphysically primary. It used to be the case that a transexual would live out their life as if they were of another sex; now, the claim is that they are that other sex, a change brought about not by biology but by will, by wanting it. Reality — truth — used to be something we had to adjust ourselves to, to deal with. These days, reality is second fiddle to will, just as Nietzsche predicted.

Nietzsche believed in self-ID of the most radical kind, long before it was fashionable. Indeed, the extreme version of this is not transexualism but transhumanism. Nietzsche predicted the rise of the Ubermensch, the super-human whose capacity exceeded the limitations of the merely human. “Dear Mother Nature,” wrote the transhumanist Max More in 1999, “we humans — your offspring — come to you with something to say. No doubt you did the best you could. However, with all due respect, we must say that you have in many ways done a poor job with the human constitution.” Human nature is not fixed but needs to be improved, even overcome, with science, technology and an ethics that is built around individual freedom.

Just as we have thrown off the tyranny of the Father God, so too we must throw off the tyranny of Mother Nature. We will be the masters of our biology, not the other way round. Nietzsche’s Ubermensch is like an artist making himself up as though he were a work of art. Nothing can interfere with his or her unfettered creativity, not even biology or reality itself. “Man is something that shall be overcome”. Thus spoke Zarathustra, Nietzsche’s prophet of the Ubermensch. The only thing Nietzsche didn’t predict is that technology would be the agent of this revolution in what it is to be human.

In the early years of Nietzsche studies, it was assumed that because the Nazis were drawn to his ideas, then Nietzsche himself must have been some sort of fellow traveller. He wasn’t. But part of the reason that fascists found his views so congenial is that he emphasised the concept of will and power over truth. If truth is simply a mobile army of metaphors — rather than something out there, fixed, waiting to be discovered — then what counts as truth is established through power and assertion, not dispassionate observation or careful listening. We used to call it lying. But for Nietzsche, the truth is what I assert it to be. Here, then, is where Donald Trump or Boris Johnson intersect with the woke Left. For all their superficial antipathy, they share a very similar metaphysical space.

And this philosophy similarity should alert us to the fact that the trans movement — broadly understood as the overcoming of Mother Nature — is not necessarily a Left-wing or progressive idea. It could just as easily be purloined by the Right. Wearing black balaclavas, angry men shout hateful obscenities at women, silence those whose words are deemed unacceptable, and whip up a mob. On the new Left there’s an ambivalence towards free speech, even a fierce antipathy towards Israel. Everyone is calling everyone else a fascist these days, but the new Left looks more and more like what we used to think of as fascists. Both admire Nietzsche.

Of course, there is one big difference between Nietzsche and woke culture: Nietzsche despised victims. He insisted that the resentful powerless — typically Christians — had used their imaginations as a weapon against the strong by upending what we normally think of as good. This is what the victim mentality maintains:

“Only those who suffer are good, only the poor, the powerless, the lowly are good; the suffering, the deprived, the sick, the ugly, are the only pious people, the only ones saved, salvation is for them alone, whereas you rich, the noble and powerful, you eternally wicked cruel, lustful, insatiate, godless, you will be eternally wretched, cursed and damned.”

That this passage could be taken as a manifesto of new Left politics shows how Nietzsche’s mobile army of metaphors can destabilise our current understanding of the political spectrum. If truth is a contest of wills, a feature of the culture war so to speak, and political assertiveness is what public will looks like, then there is no reason why the Left cannot out-shout, out-manoeuvre, out-intimidate and out-march the old “aristocratic” values that Nietzsche so admired.

When Nietzsche declared the death of God, he wasn’t just declaring religion to be over; he was also burying the very idea that truth is something fixed. Following Nietzsche, generations of progressive activists have come to believe that truth is something made not found. Something to be created in the cauldron of technological ingenuity and political assertiveness.

At the present moment, this philosophical position is supporting a kind of Left-wing run. But it won’t always do so. And when Nietzsche renews his conjugation with the Right, we may well descend even further into antipathy and madness. When truth with a capital T dies, all we have left is the struggle for dominance.

Might is right. Which is why, as the culture wars deepen, you will find me in church, on my knees, before my dead God. A dead God who, Nietzsche would be disappointed to hear, refuses to die.
