🇷🇺🇺🇦Zelensky actually announced a ban on the activities of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church

"It is necessary to create such conditions in which any figures dependent on the aggressor country will not be able to manipulate Ukrainians and weaken Ukraine from within".

Dmitriy Medvedev statement regarding this event"Kiev Satanists have reached
the canonical Ukrainian Orthodox Church. They are looking for connections with the Russian world. Church property is being taken away. Clerics and parishioners are beaten. However, the persecution of the UOC began much earlier. When a certain Poroshenko sacrificed the UOC and the Minsk agreements for his failed re-election. However, the Little Russian presidents were not distinguished by the strength of faith before. They prayed only for loot.
The question is not about them, but about the fundamental rights established by their supposedly democratic constitution. They are trampled underfoot, and believers are forced to attend the "right" churches under the fear of various abominations.

Therefore, the current Ukrainian authorities have openly become enemies of Christ and the Orthodox faith. This is how the whole Christian world should treat them.
And of course, the Kiev Christ-sellers should remember the words of Scripture: "And My eye will not spare you, and I will not have mercy. I will repay you according to your ways, and your abominations will be with you; and you will know that I am the Lord the chastiser" (Ezek. 7:9)."

"Yes, Europe is a Garden, we have built a Garden, everything works, the rest of the world - most of the world it's a jungle, and the jungle could invade the garden, and the Gardners should take care of it."

-Josep Borrell, EU Foreign Policy Chief.


I wanted to start this post that was going to answer one of my subscriber's questions, how did we get here, how is there a Ukraine war? 10, 12 years ago "everything was perfect", but why not now?

Now, I myself am a citizen of this jungle, and besides my Anglo or European subscribers, I would assume that you are all too, Indians, Brazilians, Argentinians, Africans, Asians, and so on, statistically speaking if we would apply the population numbers, only 12% of the subscribers are "civilized and Gardners" and the remaining ones, we're the ones trying to invade this garden, because we're obviously bad people, am I right?

Let us be honest, for the past 200 years World politics and international affairs were dictated from Europe, if you go before that, the world affairs were dictated by the Caliphates and the Chinese state, if you go before that, it was the Romans, Greeks, and Persians and so on, it's a natural cycle.

The European dictated his will upon all the other continents is because he had the weapons, intelligence, and economic and fabrication superiority, and utilized these in his colonial ambitions, and when the days of the European standing over the black, brown, or mutt corpses while showcasing his rifle was over, it instead simply evolved, now the European is shaking the hands of the morally and weak-spined puppet that he himself dressed, the brown, black, or mutt politician.

The reason why everything was all well and said 10, 12 years ago is, because realistically speaking, there was nothing at that time to change that, the European and the Anglo World enforced their will, militarily and politically, whenever they wanted, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Congo, Serbia, and so on.

Now, the European is afraid, he's scared, the centers of manafacturing isn't even in Europe anymore, and even that of knowledge - Russian, Chinese, and other third world countries are producing engineering and technical products of such a quality to rival them, research papers and scientific progress is being advanced there.

The European has grown accustomed to it, he could not simply imagine a world where he was not dominant, afterall, 6 billion people worked to serve the one billion, right?

The world has always been multipolar, the first time since Adam and Eve for it to be Unipolar is the times of Western Hegemony since the 90s, but this will be fixed, in good time.

Julian Assange appeals to European court over U.S. extradition
Reuters

LONDON, Dec 2 (Reuters) - WikiLeaks' founder Julian Assange, who is battling extradition from Britain to the United States where he is wanted on criminal charges, has submitted an appeal to the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), the court confirmed on Friday.

Assange, 51, is wanted by U.S. authorities on 18 counts, including a spying charge, relating to WikiLeaks' release of vast troves of confidential U.S. military records and diplomatic cables which Washington said had put lives in danger.

Britain has given the go-ahead for his extradition, but he has launched an appeal at London's High Court, with the first hearing expected early next year.

His legal team have also launched a case against Britain at the ECHR, which could potentially order the extradition to be blocked.

"We confirm that an application has been received," a statement from the court said.

Assange's brother Gabriel Shipton told Reuters earlier this week that he believed the U.S. authorities would want to avoid the case going before the ECHR, as the European media was much more sympathetic to his cause.

MENTAL HEALTH
In January 2021, a British judge ruled Assange should not be extradited, saying his mental health meant he would be at risk of suicide if convicted and held in a maximum security prison.

But that decision was overturned after an appeal by U.S. authorities who gave a package of assurances, including a pledge he could be transferred to Australia to serve any sentence.

The extradition was then ratified in June by the then British home secretary (interior minister) after the government said the courts had concluded it would not be unjust or an abuse of process, and that he would be treated appropriately.

WikiLeaks first came to prominence in 2010 when it released hundreds of thousands of secret classified files and diplomatic cables in what was the largest security breach of its kind in U.S. military history.

U.S. prosecutors and Western security officials regard the Australian-born Assange as a reckless enemy of the state whose actions imperilled the lives of agents named in the leaked material.

He spent seven years holed up in Ecuador's embassy in London to avoid extradition to Sweden where he was wanted for questioning on sexual assault charges that were later dropped.

However, he was dragged out and jailed in 2019 for breaching bail conditions, and has been held in prison in London ever since while his extradition case is decided.

Assange's supporters say he is an anti-establishment hero who has been victimised because he exposed U.S. wrongdoing in conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq, and that his prosecution is a politically motivated assault on journalism and free speech.

The case has gained prominence this week with major media outlets, including the New York Times which had originally worked with the WikiLeaks founder over the leaked material, writing an open letter to say his prosecution should end.

Meanwhile, Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said he had raised the issue of Assange's release with U.S. officials, saying the matter should be brought to a close.

Snowden took the oath of Russian citizenship
Former US intelligence officer Snowden sworn in and received a Russian passport

MOSCOW, December 2 - RIA Novosti. Former American intelligence officer Edward Snowden took the oath and received a Russian passport, his wife is also preparing to apply, lawyer Anatoly Kucherena said.
"I got it, yes," he answered a question from journalists.

Kucherena added that he had seen Snowden the day before, and that the former American intelligence officer was "all right."
The informant received Russian citizenship at the end of September by decree of President Vladimir Putin. At the same time, Kucherena said that the wife of the ex-special services officer was also planning to apply for a new passport.

In 2013, Edward Snowden became the initiator of a major international scandal. He handed over to The Washington Post and The Guardian newspapers classified materials about the surveillance programs of the US and British intelligence agencies on the Internet.
After that, Snowden flew to Hong Kong, and from there to Moscow, where for some time he was in the transit zone of Sheremetyevo Airport. After refusals from several countries, Russia granted the American temporary asylum, but on the condition that he cease his activities against the United States.
In August 2014, Edward Snowden received a three-year residence permit in Russia, then he was given an indefinite document.

Captured Ukrainian paratrooper said they were trained in the UK
Ukrainian paratroopers captured by the Russian Armed Forces said they were trained in the UK

MOSCOW, December 2 - RIA Novosti. Ukrainian paratrooper Dmitry Protsenko, taken prisoner in the Krasnolimansky direction, said that he and his colleagues were trained in the UK.
“Yours (the Russian military) began to storm the stronghold, I realized that everything was pointless.
The prisoner also reported how they were trained by Western instructors.
"We were sent for 20 days. <...> The program is light: like infantry - to run in twos and threes, they took us out for three days once into the forest: we were surrounded, we defended," Protsenko specified.
Also, according to him, they were trained in urban conditions. At the same time, Protsenko was skeptical about the skills that he received in such a short time in the UK. According to him, they were not trained in what can really come in handy on the battlefield.

In addition, as the prisoner said, military personnel with a criminal record, as well as debts and alimony, underwent this training.
According to Protsenko, he himself was previously tried "for drugs", and he served his sentence in Russia. After his release in 2021, the man was deported to Ukraine. With the beginning of the special operation, he was mobilized into the army and sent to serve in the 25th separate airborne brigade.

Olaf Scholz hopes Russia will return to the fold after Ukraine war
The Times
Olaf Scholz has suggested that Europe should go back to its pre-war “peace order” with Russia and resolve “all questions of common security” after the war in Ukraine if President Putin is willing to renounce aggression against his neighbours.

In his most revealing remarks on the subject, the German chancellor said he would ultimately like to restore the patchwork of security arrangements stitched together during and after the Cold War, so long as Moscow was ready to honour them.

Up to now NATO leaders have tended to discuss future relations with Russia in vague terms, beyond insisting that only Ukraine can determine the terms on which it is prepared to end the war.

After meeting with BlackRock's CEO, is Zelensky selling Ukraine to the highest bidder?
By Olivia Murray for The American Thinker
In early September, I came across a New York Times article detailing a meeting between Ukraine’s Zelensky and BlackRock’s Laurence Fink, which caught my attention in the worst of ways. Brief refresher: Fink’s investment firm is “among several high-powered firms pushing working families out of the [U.S.] housing market and into rentals,” and according to BlackRock’s own website:

Most recently, we began investing in new construction, purpose-built for-rent housing developments… Our focus is on building single-family rental housing….

Furthermore, “BlackRock invests in multifamily properties, apartment complexes, and other residential real estate. (As of March 31, 2022, BlackRock has invested $120 billion into the U.S. residential real estate rental market.)

The Time article touted the meeting as a discussion on “how to attract investment in the country’s war-ravaged economy.” According to a statement released by Zelensky’s office, Fink provided “pro bono advice” on “setting up a reconstruction fund in support of the recovery of the Ukrainian economy” and this “fund” would accept money from both “public and private investors”.

Well isn’t Mr. Fink just a humanitarian! (How much of this money will actually go to the people, rather than the elites? I’d be willing to wager — zilch.)

But now, all the pieces are coming together….

Yesterday morning, the Russian news agency reported that Zelensky was planning to launch a “patronage program” offered to foreign entities, both public and private. From Zelensky’s own words just this past Tuesday:

Even now, we create a special patronage system. The system will enable leading countries and companies to take patronage over the reconstruction of Ukrainian regions, cities, industries, and enterprises.

The president alleged that a host of countries was interested in the program, including the United States, and additionally touted the move towards globalism and “green energy”:

We are already integrating Ukraine into the European Union. We have already become a part of the EU Single Market. We will become a part of the EU institutions. We have already joined the EU Single Energy System. We will become those whose potential in ‘green’ energy will replace dirty Russian fossil fuel for Europe.

So let me get this straight: Zelensky, under apparent “pro bono” advice from Fink, created a “patronage” scheme, which would auction off Ukrainian jurisdictions to the highest foreign bidder? And then this money would go into a “reconstruction” pot, before it likely disappears? (If we know anything about the notoriously corrupt country, we remain acutely aware of Ukraine’s penchant for money laundering, and its utter lack of transparency regarding the gravy train at the expense of America’s working class citizens.)

The term “patronage” bears with it an idea that the patron has the “power to control appointments to office or the right to privileges” — in 2015, The Guardian said the country was “marred by corruption so endemic that even the hospitals appear to be infected” — so I wouldn’t be at all surprised if Zelensky’s program fulfills the full meaning of the word.

Jumping into bed with Wall Street billionaires and corrupt global leaders to sell out your country? Sounds like Joe and Hunter Biden, or Obama, or Dick Cheney, or Chinless Mitch — it appears as though Zelensky is cut from the same cloth as some of the worst traitors in American history.

Ukrainian military casualties are big trouble for Biden
Ukraine has likely lost 100,000 soldiers who won’t readily be replaced while US arms deliveries are depleting stocks and exposing security holes in Asia
By STEPHEN BRYEN for The Asia Times
In a shocking statement that has now been withdrawn, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen wrote that Ukraine has lost 100,000 soldiers and 20,000 civilians in the Ukraine war.

This conforms to comments made by US Joint Chief of Staff head General Mark Milley, who in a speech at a conference hosted by New York’s Economic Club said that more than 100,000 Russian soldiers have been killed or wounded in the war and that the number of troop casualties is probably the “same” for Ukraine’s army.

Ukraine’s heavy casualties are a signal that Washington’s de facto war with Russia is in trouble. President Joe Biden has to change direction or face a national security crisis that could end his presidency.

Ukraine may look as if it were winning. The truth is the opposite because Ukraine is running out of manpower it cannot replace. It is losing by attrition on the battlefield and, with the Russians systematically destroying its infrastructure, millions of Ukrainians have fled abroad. It is unlikely the country could recover even if the war should end tomorrow.

Meanwhile, Russia’s manpower problems are less severe. Moscow has been replenishing its supply of front-line troops through an unpopular conscription program at home that has now been extended to the territories in Ukraine that it occupies.

Russia’s proxy army, the Wagner Group, also has been significantly enlarged from 8,000 last April to nearly 40,000 now. Many Wagner Group fighters have been recruited from Russian prisons and some have been brought in from other countries, especially the Middle East and Africa.

Nuclear Monitors Near Accord on Ukraine Security Zone at Zaporizhzhia Plant
IAEA’s Grossi is in talks on Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Plant
Russia hasn’t provided any information on possible retreat
ByJonathan Tirone for Bloomberg
2 December 2022 at 17:36 GMT

International nuclear monitors say they are closing in on an agreement between Ukraine and Russia that would set up a security zone around Europe’s largest atomic energy plant, potentially easing concerns about an accident.
“We are getting closer to something that could be acceptable,” Rafael Mariano Grossi, director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency said in an interview Friday with Bloomberg Television. IAEA monitors are at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, whose six reactors are shut down after months of attacks, while Grossi tries to persuade the governments in Kyiv and Moscow to cease military activities around the facility.

Military reporter Aleksandr Harchenko in his channel "Witness of Bayraktar" tells about his conversation with the paratroopers of the Ukrainian elite 25th separate airborne brigade, which recently have surrendered to the Russian Army:

Our interviewees have been mobilized. They never served in the army before. They have been preparing hard since the summer. First in the Zhytomyr region, then in Britain. In the depths of foggy Albion, they ran for 20 days with an AK-47 and learned to storm buildings. The paratroopers generally don't rate British training too highly. Interestingly, they were given special lectures on the rights and duties of military personnel. In particular, they said that it was forbidden to kill and torture prisoners (Iraqi prisoners of British prisons must weep somewhere here).

In a word, the guys were seriously prepared for serious operations, and now, finally, they were sent to the front line. On November 5, they were in position and realized that it was an asshole. The road to the outpost was shot through. Food and water were literally beaten out from the authorities. And besides, their unit was not allocated a fashionable foreign uniform, so they had to freeze in the Ukrainian one. In addition, constant shelling seriously thinned out the personnel. After a month, 80% of the personnel on the stronghold were injured. In the end, drivers and other service personnel were sent to the front line. The technology is also bad. They had one MTLB assigned to their battalion. The wounded had to be dragged across an open field for 2 km in the hope that they would not die from loss of blood.

Such is the bleak picture. It is not surprising that at the first shooting battle, the entire stronghold raised their hands up and surrendered. And the most interesting thing is that they were stormed by yesterday's mobilized. Yes, yes, the same men who were sent to the army a month ago. I don’t know if ours were given lectures on the humane treatment of prisoners, but the Ukrainian POW were neatly delivered to headquarters, unlike the Ukrainian butchers who shot our prisoners near Makiivka. Here are the European values ​​for you...

At this point, one could finish with the consolation of the thought that the Ukrainians have lost their offensive potential, but I will not be so optimistic. It is felt that a shortage of equipment has been created at the forefront. At the same time, supplies from abroad do not stop. This means that equipment and personnel are concentrated in the rear. Today we were able to drive an SUV across the field and did not get stuck. Frost bound the earth. If this weather continues for another week, the tracked vehicles will easily be able to move forward. And this means that Ukrainian attacks can be expected in a week. They have strength, even though they pretend to be poor and unhappy. I think that they will hit Zaporozhye and Svatovo at the same time. They will try to repeat the successes of the autumn campaign.

The Future of American Warfare Is Unfolding in Ukraine
Aid to Ukrainian forces is achieving more than the long U.S. intervention in Afghanistan did.

By Phillips Payson O’Brien for the Atlantic
...
America’s failure in Afghanistan, by contrast, seemed so complete in 2021 that it may have encouraged Russian President Vladimir Putin to launch his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. The American response to this year’s crisis—providing a high level of military support without deploying American forces—is not just the best way to help Ukraine secure its independence and thwart Putin. It also offers a model for how the U.S. should define its international military involvement.
...
Although the decline of U.S. power has been significantly overstated in some quarters, America’s economic decline relative to the rest of the world is real. Economic strength and technological strength have become more dispersed around the globe, and over time military strength is likely to follow the same pattern. This is one reason avoiding boots-on-the-ground interventions will become ever more of an imperative.

#TransFormatorBuzzes : 💤
It is amazing how that American analyst may found moral grounds for fighting until the last Ukrainian in the interests of the USA. Masterclass in hypocrisy and double standards... Actually, he is not even arguing, just assuming that what is good for the American elites is universally good and worth dying for (for somebody else). What a naïve primordial selfishness!
