The Rise of the New Normal Reich
I told you this part wasn’t going to be pretty. I didn’t think it would get to the point where the Wall Street Journal would go full Buck Turgidson and call on the United States to “show it can win a nuclear war,” but I wasn’t entirely off the mark either
Back in January (i.e., a million years ago), in The Last Days of the Covidian Cult, I wrote:
"...we are getting dangerously close to the point where GloboCap will need to go full-blown fascist if they want to finish what they started. If that happens, things are going to get very ugly. I know, things are already ugly, but I’m talking a whole different kind of ugly. Think Jonestown, or Hitler’s final days in the bunker, or the last few months of the Manson Family.”
I don’t know about you, but I kind of feel like the threat of global thermonuclear war qualifies as a “different kind of ugly.”...

"🇺🇦 What's wrong with the sensational CNN report? Analysis of the Rybar
Today, an American TV channel published a recording of the killing of civilians allegedly by Russian servicemen in the Kyiv region.
In the footage, an armed man shoots two people in the back after being searched. CNN journalists identified one of the victims and even included a comment from his daughter.
Our team analyzed the video and determined that the shooting was indeed made in the Kyiv region at the Camper Group car dealership. It is located on the highway between Kyiv and Makarov, its coordinates are 50.437944, 30.114556. In mid-March, fighting was really going on in this area.
We also did not find obvious traces of gluing or video editing. The strange difference in dates and times on the cameras can be explained by downed hardware add-ons.
📌 Is everything clear here? Not really
There is a very important point: the CNN channel did not post the entire recording, providing only separate fragments. And even viewing them raises certain questions, to which there are no exact answers yet.
▪️ In one of the frames, the deceased bleeds indoors. The next one shows only a bloody trail from the dragging of the body from the gatehouse: the moment of evacuation was not recorded for an unknown reason. CNN journalists only claim that the wounded man died from blood loss, and the Ukrainian fighters had to retreat under fire from the Russian Armed Forces.
▪️ The lens was clearly captured by a gun lying in a booth, which was taken with him by an arrived fighter of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
▪️ It is not known for certain why both of the dead went to work that day. The daughter of one of the victims claims that he was "just doing his duty." This is rather strange given the location of the car dealership next to the battle zone.
▪️ According to a CNN report, the man's body was cremated due to "the impossibility of burial under military conditions." This completely excludes any examination.
📌 And what is wrong with these facts?
Taking into account the above circumstances, the following picture emerges: armed men were at the facility near the line of contact. One of them survived after being wounded and called for help from the fighters of the Ukrainian armed formations, who relatively promptly arrived for him.
🔺 A logical question arises: could both of those shot not be ordinary civilians, but members of the territorial defense? Taking into account their suspiciously strange duty at the facility near the base of the RF Armed Forces units, the presence of weapons and communication channels with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, this cannot be ruled out.
🔺 This does not refute the fact of shooting in the back by supposedly servicemen of the RF Armed Forces. However, in this case, the picture becomes far from the killing of ordinary non-combatants.
📌 The CNN report appeared on time and for a reason
According to American journalists, the episode in the Kyiv region took place on March 16. Why is it remembered only now?
🔹 Both in the US and in Europe, it is necessary to continuously maintain the necessary information background to explain the supply of weapons to Ukraine and the economic problems from intervention in the conflict.
🔹 Therefore, the sudden discussion of the events of two months ago is absolutely no coincidence: in the future, the media will similarly exploit even the most dubious episodes to promote the topic of war crimes and dehumanize the RF Armed Forces.
On our own behalf, we consider it important to say: perhaps other details will come up that will completely refute the membership of the dead in the defense and at the same time prove that the shooters belong to the RF Armed Forces.
And in this situation, the killer deserves at least bunk in prison."

I LED TALKS ON DONBAS AND CRIMEA IN THE 90S. HERE’S HOW THE WAR SHOULD END.
After the #USSR’s breakup, the #OSCE knew that the large number of #Russian speakers in #Ukraine would become an issue.
The dilemma, as I shuttled back and forth between #Kiev and #Simferopol, the Crimean capital, was that #Crimea fell under Ukrainian sovereignty, but its population was majority Russian and saw no reason to be part of Ukraine.
From the nineteenth century, Crimea was Russian, until #1954, when Soviet Communist Party Chair Nikita #Khrushchev, for reasons that still have historians scratching their heads, decided to switch Crimea from the #Soviet Russian republic to the Soviet Ukrainian republic.
Even after 1954, Crimea was effectively governed more from #Moscow than from Kyiv.
When the Soviet Union was dissolved, Crimea’s population suddenly found itself a minority in a foreign country.
Ukraine accepted a need for a certain degree of self-rule, but Crimea declared independence as what it called the Crimean Republic.
Over Ukraine’s objection, an election for president was called in the declared Crimean Republic, and a candidate was elected on a platform of merger with Russia.
At the time, however, the Russian government was not prepared to back the Crimeans........ MORE

Nazis Are Actually Fine Now, According to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League
.....This fearful narrative was propelled by episodes which may now appear somewhat farcical in hindsight, but at the time were taken deadly seriously.
One example was an alleged spate of anti-semitic hate crimes that occurred in 2017 — a series of “bomb threat” phone calls were placed to Jewish Community Centers.
Even before any details had surfaced about the identity of the suspects, an outfit called the “Anne Frank Center” hysterically attributed personal responsibility for the incidents to Trump.
Fans of dark humor were no doubt thrilled when it later emerged that the bomb threats had in fact been called in by a teenager in Israel, as well as a deranged former Intercept journalist — and not some MAGA-hat guy sitting in a corrugated shack in the backwoods of Arkansas.
(The “Anne Frank Center” was being run at the time by a hardcore partisan Democratic operative in New Jersey, whom I personally met years ago when he was running a pro-LGBT group.
Let’s just say that this individual is a tad ............. excitable. )
Still, this individual’s bombastic anti-Trump screeds were credulously portrayed by media outlets as carrying the solemn moral weight of the fabled Holocaust victim.......... MORE

Nazis Are Actually Fine Now, According to the Southern Poverty Law Center and Anti-Defamation League
If you happened to be alive during the years of 2016 to 2020, you can probably recall the routine issuance of frantic bulletins that “Nazis” were suddenly on the march in the US. Not just that some ludicrous, ragtag group of self-identified Nazis could be…
As highlighted many times already in this channel...... #Russia's #economy is coping better with #Ukraine-related Western #sanctions than could be expected, #JPMorgan Chase said in a note to clients dated last week and made public on Monday.
According to the biggest US investment bank, business sentiment surveys from the country “are signaling a not very deep recession in Russia, and therefore imply upside risks to our growth forecasts.”
It also cited high-frequency indicators such as electricity consumption and financial flows, which signal that the economy is in better shape than predicted.

IF UKRAINE IS WINNING WHY IS THE U.S. REQUESTING A CEASEFIRE?
Yesterday the #US Secretary of #Defense #Lloyd #Austin called the Minister of Defense of the #Russian #Federation Sergei #Shoigu.
Why?
The U.S. readout of the call says:
"On May 13, Secretary of Defense Lloyd J. Austin III spoke with Russian Minister of Defense Sergey Shoygu for the first time since February 18.
Secretary Austin urged an immediate ceasefire in Ukraine and emphasized the importance of maintaining lines of communication."
Austin initiated the call and the U.S. is seeking a ceasefire in Ukraine!!!
Are we not told that the Ukraine is winning the war? That it will soon push the Russian forces back over the border?
The operation to 'weaken Russia', which Austin had publicly announced two weeks ago, does not seem to be going that well......MORE

There's a certain type of person who's devoted enormous energy to monitoring and warning about the purported threat of Nazis, white supremacists, and associated groups -- who now suddenly does a 180-degree turn-around and begins performing elaborate mental gymnastics to deflect scrutiny from #Azov, this one particular group which, by any objective rendering, is undeniably, loudly and openly #NeoNazi 🤷♂

#Ukraine deliberately, and completely unnessecarily, cuts #gas #supply to #Southern #Europe, #Italy etc.
There's no reason for them to do this other than sheer bloodymindedness.
This is European "Ally" Ukraine doing this, it has nothing to do with #Russia
That appears to cut off the pipeline carrying a third of Ukrainian transit of gas to Europe "The Sudzha gas metering station (GMS) offered 9.8 million cubic meters per day, and another 5.2 million cubic meters per day was offered at the Sohranivka GMS."
In picture 3 above it is the pipeline which runs from Kharkov in N East Ukraine, passing Odessa in S West Ukraine, and running further into southern Europe.
It is blamed on 'force majeure', presumably based on the war, but more likely some kind of stunt. See Map in picture 2.
There are two Russian feeds into this, the southern pipeline (to Italy), and it may be that only one of these feeder pipelines is out of operation.

CNN is calling this racially motivated because the gunman was white and the victims were white.
This is a psychological false flag attack to get minorities to vote for Democrats under ths guise of white supremacy.

India: “We can feed the world!”
Also India:
“We are banning all exports of Wheat effective immediately”
India rapidly changes their tune as the world figures out, that there isn’t enough food to go around.
In a matter of weeks, India has banned all wheat exports.
We were warned things could escalate quickly but it’s still wild to see - this is straight from the script of Podesta’s Food Chain Reaction Game.

#Ukraine deliberately, and completely unnessecarily, cutting off #gas #supply to #Southern #Europe, #Italy etc looks more and more like a very cynical political stunt.
Russia would allow the Ukrainians in to run the station, so it can't be 'force majeure'.
#Zelensky will probably say he needs those planes he keeps demanding in order to "protect Europe's energy supply."

"#Gazprom has confirmed receipt of a notification from the operator of the #GTS of #Ukraine on the #termination of #GasTransit.
At the same time, the Russian company has not received confirmation of force majeure and sees no obstacles to the continuation of gas pumping."
