WHEN A STORY BREAKS, ALWAYS ASK, “WHY NOW?”

By: Larry Johnson, 2nd November 2022.

Regardless of the issue, the title of this piece is a good rule of thumb to apply when you are reading “breaking news.”

I am not talking about your conventional “Car Runs Over Pedestrian” or “Dog Licks Own Testicles" story.

I am talking about reports like today’s news that there are #US "boots on the ground" in Ukraine.....

YES, BUT....... "WHY NOW?"

This story is curious not only for its content but its timing.

Let me start with content.

Concerns were raised starting last April, about the corrupt diversion of U.S. military supplies to #criminal organizations inside #Ukraine.

That is why #CBS produced a 60 Minutes piece that aired in August with the inconvenient claim that a good portion of U.S. #weapons never made it to the front.

Within days of this story’s publication, CBS News deletes tweet claiming only ‘like 30%’ of US military aid for Ukraine ever reaches the front lines.

(You can read my original piece here.)


If the U.S. was serious about ensuring the weapons paid for by U.S. taxpayers actually wound up in the hands of Ukrainian soldiers, it would have been very easy to put in an #audit system and verify periodically that there was no chicanery going on.......

While it is possible that today’s story about U.S. troops on the ground carrying out audits of U.S. military supplies delivered to Ukraine is genuine, I have my doubts.

Soldiers ostensibly detailed to carry out audits could in fact be diverted to help man #M777 batteries, #HIMARS rocket launchers, #HARM #missile launchers or operate combat #drones.

Declaring the purpose as “audit” could just be a thin form of cover to avoid admitting that the U.S. has troops in #combat.....

Russian Armed Forces destroyed five Greek BMP-1s immediately after being handed over to Kyiv
Pronews.gr: Greek BMPs burn like torches in the steppes of Ukraine, serving the Zelensky regime

The Russian army destroyed five Greek infantry fighting vehicles in the Donbass immediately after they were handed over to the Ukrainian side, write the Greek media.
According to the portal iskra.gr, this happened on October 28, when Russian troops suppressed the Ukrainian offensive near the village of Berestovoye in the Kharkiv region.

"As a result, 150 Ukrainian soldiers were killed or injured, one tank and five BMP-1s <...>, four armoured personnel carriers and nine pickups converted into combat vehicles were destroyed," the publication says.
It notes that the BMPs were hit by artillery and 152-millimeter Krasnopol rockets.
The article emphasizes that the vehicles received from Greece were serious reinforcements for the Armed Forces of Ukraine - since they were in excellent condition, they were immediately put forward to the front line.
In addition, writes iskra.gr, Greece handed over RM-70 multiple launch rocket systems to Ukraine. They operate mainly in the Kherson region, two of them have already been destroyed.
The pronews.gr portal, for its part, notes that they did not even have time to repaint the Greek equipment.

“It hurts the heart of the Greek military when they see BMP-1s burning like torches on the Ukrainian plains, serving the Zelensky regime. One of them still has symbols (of the Greek army) They were sent into battle in in such a hurry that they didn’t even have time to paint or remove the emblem, it is so “respected” in the government and the leadership of the armed forces. Later, apparently, there was a clumsy attempt to erase it, while adding the Ukrainian trident,” the article says.
The author adds that the Greek islands from which the BMP-1 was withdrawn remained uncovered. This was recognized by Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis, who sent Greek weapons to Zelensky.
The retired brigadier general who had the IFVs on an island in the eastern Aegean told pronews.gr that the military had struggled to secure supplies of spare parts. But they instantly appeared when they decided to send the cars to Ukraine.

“We made superhuman efforts to keep them in perfect working order so that they could give them to Zelensky for free. We didn’t have batteries <…> But before the BMP was taken from the troops and sent to Ukraine, two cars with batteries and replaced all the old ones," the military said.
Greece undertook to send to Ukraine 40 East German-made armoured infantry vehicles of the BMP-1 type, received in 1994. In return, Germany promised to provide an equal number of Marder infantry fighting vehicles. As of October 28, Athens has already received ten of these machines.
This week, Greek President Katerina Sakellaropoulou and Defence Minister Nikos Panagiotopoulos travelled to Kyiv, where a ceremony was held to hand over the BMP-1 to Ukrainian troops. At the same time, according to the Greek media, the United States requires allies and partners to send more and more weapons to the Kyiv regime.

Russia breaks with UN and resumes railway trade & transport with Korea from today-RIA novosti.

Trade trains resumed service today following 2-year hiatus due to covid restrictions with a train carrying livestock from Russia.

Medicine will be the next delivery to Korea, as confirmed by Russia's Far East Railway company administration.

In 2020 Russia 'supported' (agreed to follow) UN-imposed sanctions on Pyongyang but not anymore...

Europe runs the risk of having an Afghanistan within itself in Ukraine unless it reverses its current stance with the Kremlin and bets on returning to the negotiating table, warns a former adviser to Russian presidents Mikhail Gorbachev and Boris Yeltsin and three successive United Nations secretaries-general.

In an exclusive interview with RTP, Jeffrey Sachs says he is “surprised by the position of Europe” and that it embraced the “American narrative” of confrontation when it was, until the outbreak of this conflict, a “paladin of diplomacy”.

This is a complete interview. We believe, it is very important and presents the essence of the current events by a person, who is not in any way "pro-Russian" or "pro-Putin". We also provide the highlights of the interview.

How are those sanctions working out for you Germany?

GERMANY'S UNIPER POSTS RECORD 40 BLN EURO NET LOSS

Soon-to-be-nationalised #German #gas importer #Uniper reported a record €40 billion ($39.3 billion) net loss in the first nine months of this year, the biggest in German corporate history, after #Russia stopped its supplies.


The loss further highlights how Russia's decision to sever a decade-long supply relationship with Europe, most notably Germany, is impacting the continent's energy sector, with Uniper the crisis' biggest corporate casualty so far.

LOVE LETTER TO IRELAND! (AND TO ALL THE DEBT-ENSLAVED NATIONS OF THE WORLD)

Look out, Ireland!

Financial debt-bergs, dead ahead!


The Irish “external #debt to #GDP” ratio is currently at 609%.

In December 2010, it was well over 1,000% (1,091.5% to be precise).

No other nation on Earth carries this much external debt to its GDP.

The #US, the world champion of all debts for sure with an official national debt reaching almost $31 #Trillion, only has 104% as its external #debt to #GDP.

What this means is that Ireland will be fleeced once again, meaning her people will be enslaved financially and economically . . . when #InterestRates rise.

Interest rates are rising significantly and will rise dramatically.

Ireland is the poster child of nations in debt slavery and what will happen to those who borrow way beyond their means

Ireland eats the cake!

At the #1 spot, Ireland’s external debt is 609% more than her GDP.

There is something that we should note about Ireland’s GDP.

#Apple, maker of the iPhones and all things that begin with an “i”, launders its European sales through its Irish headquarters.

Why?

To avoid paying #taxes as Ireland has one of the most preferential business tax polices in the world.

However, #Apple’s “contribution” to #Ireland’s #GDP, which has been as high as 25%, generates #ZERO #income for the Irish nation.

How’s that for a GDP accounting trick?

Therefore, this ridiculous 609% is even a lot higher!

Now, imagine if our credit card debt is more than 609% of our annual income!

What happens when the credit card company demands that we pay off our credit card debt?

That’s about to happen to Ireland, Netherlands, UK, etc.

🇳🇿 #NewZealand 🇳🇿

The #NewZealand Government's "intelligence" services have published booklets telling the public to report friends or family if they suspect they oppose government policies (including for example any #covid measures)

The reasoning appears to be that mere expression of opposition to NZ Government policies is a strong signal of potential
#terrorist activity.

The only reasonable description of
#NZ #security services is that they are knowingly and willingly partaking in efforts to fully establish a #PoliceState in New Zealand.

UK confirms it will not insure ships carrying Russian oil (90% of insurers now)

The UK has gone completely mad, as the treasury has confirmed it will not allow any British insurers to cover ships carrying Russian oil from December 5.

By December 5, tanker owners that fly any European Union flag or carry P&I insurance from an EU or UK club can no longer have crude oil onboard that originated in Russia, unless Russia has sold the crude to the buyer at or under a price cap pushed for by G7 members. The US is expected to join the insurance ban shortly meaning more than 90% of the world’s insurers will shun Russian-linked crude tanker business from next month.

[IAF: remember the #AbsoluteZero plan was to eliminate shipping by 2030]

“We continue to stand by Ukraine in the face of Putin’s barbaric and illegal invasion,” UK finance minister Jeremy Hunt said

It’s referred to as the Hegelian Dialectic and also know as problem Reaction solution. The government creates the problem (Virus) knowing the public will accept the government solution (💉 sterilization)

This tactic is thousands of years old but the public is never educated to a level necessary to identify this hustle without already being conspiracy minded/educated.

Weather you want to accept it or not, most conspiracies occur within the umbrella of government.

Guy who is Pro-irreversible "#gender/#mastectomy" #surgery, gets interviewed.

He insists:

"They're not doing
#surgeries on #kids who are under 18!"

Immediately:

•Gets proven wrong.

•Continues to support surgeries on kids under 18.

He assumes it never happens because his instinct is that it's unethical.

When he finds out it is happening, he instantly tossed out his prior framework to stay in line with the
#narrative.

Rock solid proof that:

IT'S A

RESEARCHERS FIND MASSIVE ANTI-RUSSIAN TWITTER BOT ARMY
November 6, 2022

An Australian university has unearthed millions of Tweets by fake Pro-Ukrainian accounts, pushing disinformation on the Ukraine war

The sample size dwarfs other studies of covert propaganda about the war on social media.


The research shows that of the more than 5 million tweets studied, 90.2% (both bot and non-bot) came from accounts that were #ProUkraine, with fewer than 7% of the accounts being classed as #ProRussian.


The university researchers also found these automated tweets had been purposely used to drive up fear amongst people targeted by them, boosting a high level of statistically measurable “angst” in the online discourse.

The research team analysed a massively unprecedented 5,203,746 tweets, sent with key hashtags, in the first two weeks of the Russian invasion of Ukraine from Feb. 24.

The researchers looked at predominately English-language accounts.

A calculated 1.8 million unique Twitter accounts in the dataset posted at least one English-language tweet.

The results were published in August in a research paper, titled:

“#IStandWithPutin versus #IStandWithUkraine: The interaction of bots and humans in discussion of the Russia/Ukraine war,”
by the University of Adelaide’s School of Mathematical Science.

A 24 year-old woman-child shut down the #M25, a major motorway in the UK, claiming "it’s for the #climate!"

She whines:
"I don’t have a future!" (why not?)

........ just as she theatrically and hilariously starts actually crying.


Meanwhile, here in reality: that nylon safety-rope she has wrapped around her is made from petroleum

And: the record hottest temp on earth was set 109 years ago

This woman-child is part of an entire generation of mentally unbalanced toddlers holding their breath til they go blue in the face, because they aren’t getting the thing they think they want

UKRAINIAN GENERAL VALERII ZALUZHNIY, A PARODY OF HUNTER BIDEN
.
‘Little Deep State’, created in the #regime in #Kiev, has reached the point where #Ukraine has now gotten its own parody of #HunterBiden.

Similarities of behavior demonstrated by Ukrainian Commander-In-Chief Valerii #Zaluzhniy include #sex scandals, #corruption and irresponsible usage of power.

Recently leaked Instagram correspondence of this ‘hero of Ukraine’ demonstrate how he uses his post and state funding to pay for #sex and gives valuable gifts to his #women directly using resources of the Defense Ministry of #Ukraine.

The many ways in which this MSM-proclaimed military genius has invented to satisfy his desires, showcases the scale of malignancy and stupidity which can be observed on all levels of the current Ukrainian political regime

THE MYTH OF "#RUSSIAN #ISOLATION"


International trade with
#Russia boomed this year, even as (mainly Western) countries imposed sanctions after the Ukraine invasion.

Mainly Western Countries imposed sanctions that were intended to cripple its
#economy after it invaded #Ukraine.

As the data shows: They failed!

Non Western countries, including
#China and #Turkey, have actually done the opposite: deepening their relationships with Russia since the war began.

As the
#Germans can testify, many countries have found living without Russian raw materials incredibly difficult.

Russia is one of the world’s most important producers of
#oil, #gas and raw materials.

More than 60% of Russia’s exports by value before the war were oil, gas and key
#metals and #minerals, which help to power cars, warm homes and supply factories all over the globe

A smart twitter thread from KimDotCom:

"The US Govt knows that without the #USDollar reserve currency status it is bankrupt.

Without money printing on the backs of other nations it’s simply Game Over for the #US.

But not just for the US.

The #EU, and most western democracies, followed the US model of endless #Debt and money printing.

That’s why they all stand with the US and support the escalating actions that seem totally illogical to most people.

Why is the EU sacrificing prosperity for a US proxy war in Ukraine?

Because if the US is collapsing they collapse too.

Their alliance is glued by the fear of failure."
