NATO tested underwater ‘equipment’ close to Nord Stream leak zone
9-29-22, BattleforWorld.com here -- The Russian government is reporting that in June 2022, the NATO alliance experimented with unmanned subs near the island of Bornholm, and that the exercises used deep-sea equipment in the area where gas leaks in Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines was caused by explosions.

Who gains most from Nord Stream sabotage? 
9-28-22, AsiaTimes [here] -- The apparent sabotage of the Russian Nordstream  pipelines demonstrates Europe’s irresponsibility in accepting gas from a known enemy. [..] Baltics, Finland, Ukraine and USA all have logical incentive to damage the pipelines; Russia does not as she would lose all leverage with Europe if it destroyed its own pipelines. 

The Nord  Stream pipelines are at sea depths ranging from 262 to 360 feet. Frogmen typically operate at 20 feet, so submersible vehicles would have been needed to place explosives on the pipeline or otherwise damage it. Finland is in a serious dispute with Russia that started with Finland’s decision to join NATO. In May, Russia cut off gas supplies to Finland and earlier Russia halted electricity deliveries.  =>

<= But it is hard to understand why Finland might consider the Nord Stream pipelines as a target for any retaliation. Finland itself has embargoed Russian coal and oil. Russia also has a very tense relationship with the Baltic States, and any one of them could carry out sabotage acts against the Nord Stream pipelines. However, the fact that this would deprive Europe of gas deliveries in the near future, supposing an end of sanctions, makes this an unlikely move for any country that depends on NATO for security.

The US could have sabotaged the pipelines to remove President Vladimir Putin’s leverage over Europe this winter. If there was substantial fear in Washington that Europe might break consensus on sanctioning Russian over the Ukraine war to save itself from an energy crisis this winter, then there could be logic in such a move. The US has become an important energy player to Europe and has been using US-supplied LNG to help fill its storage tanks for the coming winter.

Tucker Carlson accuses Biden admin: 'They want war'
9-23-22, Fox/WND -- 
... “the USA is the country funding this UKRAINE war and that could end this war tonight by calling Ukraine to the table. Russian troops leave, Ukraine promises not to join NATO, everything is as it was in January 2022 and everything is fine. We don’t have to worry about New York getting nuked. But that’s not what they want. So, Joe Biden didn’t say a word about America’s responsibilities here. Again, we’re funding this war. We could end it. They’re choosing not to. He didn’t say a word about that at the United Nations, of course, because they want war.”

8-23-22, * -- The war currently underway in Ukraine, which pits Ukraine as a proxy for the collective West against Russia, is primarily an ideological or religious one, with Russia representing what is left of Christian Europe, and “the West” representing a totalitarian ideology that abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular.
 
Given the fact that some Westerners – though fewer every day – still see “the West,” (basically Europe and North America) as Christian, and Russia as Communist, or crypto-Communist; this is no longer the case. The collective West is now a totalitarian and aggressively anti-religious power-block that seeks to export its anti-Christian and anti-human ideology onto the rest of the world.
 
Russia is loathed by the West’s ruling elite precisely because it has resisted this process and moreover has gone in the opposite direction: having once been an active proponent of “scientific materialism” and atheism, Russia has reverted to its Orthodox Christian roots and has rolled back the more pernicious policies and attitudes of the Soviet era. [..]

By 1991, when the Soviet Union was officially abolished, it was clear that the West had won the Cold War. Russia itself, under its new president Boris Yeltsin, openly proclaimed the end of all hostilities. Russia’s satellites in Eastern Europe were permitted to go their own way, and autonomous republics within the Soviet Union were allowed to declare themselves independent countries. [..]
 
There seems to be no logical explanation other than to assume an underlying cultural/religious antipathy towards Russia and her people on the part of a very large segment of the West’s ruling plutocracy. I suggest that this is the case, and it is Russia’s religion that is at the root of it.
 
By the end of Communism, the Orthodox Church was a small remnant of its former self under the Tsars, but that soon began to change. Hardship birthed a spiritual revival; by the mid-1990s the Russian Orthodox Church, as well as other branches of Christianity, began to experience noticeable growth. It was not however until the first decade of the twenty-first century, and the presidency of Vladimir Putin, that this movement became really significant.

It was not until 2013 however that the anti-Russian rhetoric went hyperbolic. In that year, the Russian parliament passed its so-called “Gay Propaganada” law. The bill, described as “Protecting Children from Information harmful to their Health and Development,” explicitly banned Gay Pride parades, as well as other forms of LGBT material, such as books and pamphlets, which attempted to normalize homosexuality and to influence children in their attitudes to homosexuality.
 
Almost unanimously, Western media outlets now began to compare Putin with Adolf Hitler; he was a “thug,” a “fascist,” a “murderer.” Between bouts of seething rage, he became the butt of scathing satire. He was cast in the role of a caricature James Bond villain, routinely murdering and torturing those he held a grudge against. There is even evidence, admittedly somewhat circumstantial, that Western Intelligence bodies, such as the CIA and MI5, became actively involved in anti-Russian propaganda.
 
The effect of this deluge of demonization upon ordinary Westerners soon began to show: Whereas in 2006 only 1% of Americans listed Russia as “America’s worst enemy” by 2019 32% of Americans, including 44% of Democrat voters, shared this view. Only 28% of Republicans however agreed; a remarkable reversal of opinion. During the Cold War, Republican voters, traditionally the more religious and nationalistic element of the American political divide, viewed the Russians as the major threat; now it was the less or non-religious (and more pro-LGBT) Democrats who held this opinion.
 
But the Western elites did not confine its efforts to irate editorials in the London Times or the Washington Post: Economic sanctions now began to be discussed. There were immediate calls to boycott the Winter Olympics, held in February 2014 in Sochi, Russia. Whilst the call to boycott was generally resisted by athletes, many Western politicians refused to attend, and the Russophobic temperature in the Western media ratcheted up. And things were about to get much worse.

Regarding Ukraine: In 2010 Viktor Yanukovych, a native of Russian-speaking Donetsk, was elected President of Ukraine, defeating Prime Minister Yuliya Tymoshenko, in what was judged by international observers to be a free and fair election. In November 2013 Yanukovych delayed signing a pending European Union association agreement, on the grounds that his government wished to maintain economic ties with Russia, as well as with the European Union. Russia had in fact offered a more favorable loan bailout than the European Union was prepared to offer. This led to protests and the occupation of Kiev’s Independence Square, a series of events dubbed the “the Euromaidan” by those in favor of aligning Ukraine with the European Union. Whilst at times it looked as if the protests would fizzle out, there is no question that almost from the beginning there was a concerted effort on the part of Western politicians to keep them going. Beginning early in December, several politicians from Berlin and Brussels paid “morale-boosting” trips to the square, and these were followed, on December 15, by the arrival of American Senators John McCain and Chris Murphy. To the assembled crowds, McCain announced that “we are here to support your just cause.” The Russians, for their part, condemned America’s “crude meddling” in Ukraine’s affairs. [..]
 
Had the Minsk agreement been fully implemented, it is quite possible that all hostilities would have ended, but this was never the case. The new government in Kiev, which from May 2014 was headed by Petro Poroshenko, made no attempt whatsoever to abide by the Accord’s provisions. On the contrary, the Russian language, hitherto one of the official languages of Ukraine, was demoted, and Russian culture in general denigrated. Even worse, none of those who had committed murder in Odessa and elsewhere were brought to justice, and the Neo-Nazi militias responsible for these atrocities were actually integrated into the Ukrainian army. Worst of all, sporadic shelling of civilian targets in Lugansk and Donetsk continued – for the next six years.

8-7-22, KingWorldNews* --The USA is staring down the barrel of a four-decade high inflation rate, an inverted yield curve & the highest debt levels in its history. The corruption, insider deal-making & open disregard for truth in Wash DC are beyond shameless. If Fascism is defined as “the perfect merger of the state & corporate powers” (see Mussolini circa 1936 [1]), then the USA may still be the land of the brave, but it no longer feels like the land of the free.
 
As for American foreign policies having failed to deliver “freedom & democracy” from Vietnam, Egypt, Iraq, Libya, Syria & Afghanistan at the cost of America’s best sons & daughters, one wonders why we’ve spent over $60B to bring “freedom” to a nation run by a puppet thug & former sitcom actor who made the cover of Vogue magazine in between censoring the press & jailing political opponents = Ukraine.

• Does the US, with over 800 military bases in 70 countries actively seek war, or does it seek peace?
  
• Has the military industrial complex, against which in 1961 President Eisenhower warned, become more about distraction, debt & dollars than freedom, defense & democracy? [2]

​The current “Inflation Adjustment Act of 2022” now sitting on Biden’s desk seeks to add even further spending with money America does not have & which the White House assures won’t be inflationary. [..] 

Things now cost more because the grotesquely inflated/de-valued dollar buys less. Between 1776 & the un-immaculate conception of the Fed in 1913 (against which Jefferson, Jackson & even Wilson argued), a USD was once a dollar. However, since 1913 a USD is really (worth) nothing more than 5 pennies. The reason is when a central bank creates trillions of those dollars out of thin air [3] with no link to an underlying real asset; that dollar is nothing more than a symbol of broken faith rather than a store of genuine value. [..] With inflation in the USA already at 9.1%, this would require the Fed to follow the IMF’s recommendation that interest rates be at least 1% above inflation rates to reach “neutral,” which in an honest world would require a 10.1% interest rate environment (it was 14+% in the 80s under Jimmy Carter [4]).
The Fed appears to be openly lying about negative real rates. …The latest lie from on high, of course, is the valiant attempt by Powell, Biden & Yellen to downplay two consecutive quarters of negative GDP as non-recessionary despite such data effectively confirming the very definition of a recession. Given all the failings & open lies … why on earth would the US now be so reckless in saber rattling over Ukraine & pinching the Chinese bear in Taiwan and Putin in Russia? Is it because we, as a nation, just love to spread democracy & freedom helping the underdog whatever the sacrifice? Despite warnings from President Geo Washington the US has spent a lot of time fighting outside its borders rather building unity within them.

Donbass, Ukraine Will Ship Grain to Friendly Nations
7-20-22, Sputnik News -- ​While the West blames Russia for provoking a global food crisis, which the UN has actually been warning about since 2021, liberated areas in Donbass are engaged in agricultural production. Despite pressure from Kiev – which has cut off access to electricity and water, Donbass farmers are continuing their work, growing wheat first and foremost.  Before the start of Russia’s special military operation, the grain grown here was sent to European countries. 

Today, thanks to sanctions, the new supply route will run through the territory of friendly countries.  Viktor Molotok, Kalmychanka’s director, told us that the farm did not suffer any damage in the course of fighting, thanks to which its 5,500 hectares [13,590 acres] of fields have been sowed with wheat, oats, sunflowers, and corn. All of the farm’s employees have remained on the job, no one has quit, and that salaries are being paid out in Russian rubles. A total of 82 people work at the farm, with 56 more to be hired at harvest time.

​Klaus Schwab said: "You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy" [HERE]
7-6-21, Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum [WEF] said: "You Will Own Nothing and Be Happy," As Anthony P. Mueller, a professor of economics, warns, "The main thrust of the forum [WEF] is global control. Free markets and individual choice do not stand as the top values, but state interventionism and collectivism. More here

The unelected Schwab is dictating how the world's peoples live. His organization, the WEF,  works with global corporations to fund his carefully chosen and groomed candidates; ‘young leaders’ installed in ‘democracies’ around the world; then voters unwittingly cast their ballots for Schwab. He pulls the strings on people such as France's Macron, Canada's Trudeau, New Zealand's Jacinda Ardern and many politicians in the USA. They're the ones who carry out Schwab’s globalist agenda.

7-7-22, CNN - Boris Johnson’s turbulent tenure as Britain’s Prime Minister came to an end July 7, 2022 after a historic party revolt over a series of ethics scandals forced him to step down. It took the resignation of nearly 60 members of his government – almost half the payroll – for Johnson to finally abandon his attempts to cling on to power.
