💯 Henry Kissinger was, beyond any doubt, a brilliant man of exceptional intelligence who, if he had been interested, could have easily penetrated into the all undoubted advantages of the Soviet way of life, and then he would really have been able to say something similar to what the satirical article attributed to him.

Unfortunately, the man who in the White House was called simply “the K” but with awe and in whispers, a Teflon man for all seasons, even at the end of his long life full of intrigues, secrets, action, and excitement, remained consistent and one of the greatest enemies of modern Russia, as he was also the fierce foe of the Soviet Union, and as he only could, taking into account his German-Jewish roots, would most certainly be a determined adversary of the Russian Empire.

Kissinger has simply always been a natural opponent of everything that is Russian of all times and spaces. Russia will undoubtedly remember him long after his death as one of the most intelligent, cunning, and therefore most dangerous opponents it has ever had, but of course, this will not prevent the witty Russians from continuing to make jokes about all that in the future.

Kissinger’s idea of bringing peace by having Ukraine join NATO is as crazy as the thought of putting out a fire with kerosene 🚒

🛑 Almost every Western political leader in office today is a con artist who betrays democratic principles.

The Kiev regime has shown its true dirty colors in manifold ways. The persecution of the Orthodox Church, the renaming of streets to honor Nazi collaborators, the shuttering of opposition media and political parties in Ukraine, the unabashed calls by senior representatives for the killing of Russian leaders and extermination of ordinary Russian citizens… the list of profanity goes on.

Millions of Ukrainians have fled their country and are being put up rent-free across Europe not because of alleged “Russian aggression” but rather to escape the corruption of the Kiev regime – a regime that the American and European media declare to be “democratic” and worthy of hundreds of billions of dollars and euros in subsidies to prop up.

The United States and its imperial “Ukrainian project” have done immense damage to Europe as well as putting world security at grave risk.

The oil and gas scam, like the whole war and weapons scam, and the charade of the West “defending Ukrainian democracy”, will be the undoing of the Kiev regime. It might even be the eventual undoing of the Western regimes that have imposed this Kiev crime syndicate on the whole world.

Aesop’s fable of the frog and scorpion seems an apt metaphor for the bloated West and its incorrigibly nasty Kiev grifter 🐸🦂

🇬🇧 Britain’s top military minister Ben Wallace was in Kiev this week on a surprise visit – only days after the stunning news of Russian forces finally taking the city of Artyomovsk (Bakhmut).

This year marks the 80th anniversary of the same city being liberated by the Soviet Red Army from the Nazi Wehrmacht and their Ukrainian fascist collaborators.

The shockwaves from the defeat of the NATO-backed Kiev regime are shaking Western capitals, and none more so than in Washington and London, the two most prominent protagonists of the proxy war against Russia in Ukraine.

Ben Wallace, like his American counterpart, Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin, is up to his neck in pushing this dangerous proxy war.

The fall of Artyomovsk comes after nearly nine months of intense and grueling fighting, which is reckoned, conservatively, to have cost up to 30,000 Ukrainian military deaths. The defeat of NATO’s well-armed proxy army demolishes the relentless propaganda narrative in the Western media claiming Ukraine’s eventual success against Russia.

Wallace has been one of the most gung-ho Western politicians, predicting at the end of last year Ukraine’s victory against Russia.

Now, it’s a debacle akin to NATO’s defeat fiasco in Afghanistan. Questions will be asked: what of all the tens of billions worth of weapons that the West has plowed into Ukraine?
The blowback is going to be torrid for Western posturing about “defending Ukraine for as long as it takes”.

When the NATO-backed Nazi regime in Kiev is finally defeated, people like Ben Wallace will be answerable to war crimes prosecutions 💢

1️⃣0️⃣0️⃣ So, Henry Kissinger has done it. He has emulated Vietnam’s legendary General Võ Nguyên Giáp by reaching 100 years of age and not out. Congratulations! Happy birthday! Roll out the red carpet and give him a 100 gun salute! Oh say can you see, by the dawn’s early light….

But after all that superficial 4th of July, Apple Pie, Disneyland tinsel, go look at that guy’s rap sheet to get a grasp of how he and his have drowned the world with the blood of the innocents ♨️

🇩🇪 Exorbitant prices for energy supplies and economic crisis which fell upon the Western Europe as a response to the EU sanctions against Russia have made many analysts cast a nostalgic look at the times bygone with Russian gas galore which contributed to German rapid economic development for decades.

An ever-growing number of politicians in Germany and EU want to turn the clock back to the way things used to be ‘pre-conflict in Ukraine’ days 🤫

💢 Serbians fight off foreign occupation forces

You can see wounded foreign troops on the ground, broken bones, unconscious, being dragged to safety across a ground of scattered helmets

NATO forces response was opening fire - we are still collecting reel on the injured Serbians. This clip above is from pro NATO media, so its edited to focus on the Serbian response rather than the obvious.

THESE ARE NOT POLICE OR DOMESTIC FORCES. NOTE THE PATCHES ON THE UNIFORMS.

ALSO - NOTE THE CURIOUS CASE OF THE 'ITALIAN' TROOP WHO LIMPS OFF SAYING 'SHIT' IN ENGLISH WITH IN A NATIVE-BORN SPEAKER ACCENT. IT'S HIS 'REFLEX' WHEN INJURED (so do the math yourself)

NATO forces attempt to back Pristina's moves to establish illegal government over an independent Serbian enclave in NATO occupied southern Serbian region of Kosovo.

These are O'Biden's policies in action.

🐲🦅 We are living in turbulent times indeed. Vital volumes of history are being written right before our very eyes.

The global situation is so frighteningly serious that it will most surely crescendo into a double-dip recession for a plethora of other factors as well as from the prevailing sentiments in the Pentagon predicting a forthcoming war with China.

The situation will in all likelihood turn sour even more because NATO cannot stop its woeful warmongering and waging endless wars

China Rejects US Defense Meeting — Pentagon

Beijing has turned down a US invitation for Defense chiefs Lloyd Austin and Li Shangfu to meet in Singapore this week. Well, what did the Pentagon expect after the US imposed sanctions on Li Shangfu in 2018? Yankee arrogance is off the scale. @LauraRuHK
🌀 The recent G7 summit should be understood as firstly, the shaping of a battlespace in the ‘War of Narratives’ whose principal ‘front’ today is the Team Biden insistence that only one ‘reality’ — the US-led ‘Rules’ ideology (and it alone) – can predominate.

And, secondly to underline pointedly that the West is ‘not losing’ in this war against the other ‘reality’. This other reality is the multivalent ‘otherness’ that self-evidently is attracting more and more support around the world.

Many in the West are simply unaware of how fast the geopolitical tectonic plates are shifting: The original plate bifurcation (the failed financial war declared on Russia), already has led to a building wave. Anger is growing. People now no longer feel alone in rejecting western hegemony – they “no longer care”.

In just the week that preceded the G7 summit, the Arab League literally ‘went multi-polar’; It quit its former pro-US automaticity. The embrace of President Assad and the Syrian government was both the logical consequence to the secondary tectonic-plate shift set in motion by China with its Saudi-Iranian diplomacy — a revolution which Mohammad bin Salman (MbS) then logically extended to the entire Arab sphere.

MbS sealed this ‘break-free’ of US control through having President al-Assad invited to the Summit to symbolise the League’s act of generalised iconoclasm.

For the West, it is ontologically impossible to tolerate their reality being disassembled: to see their society and the world split in two. The narrative reality is so embedded via the well-honed effectiveness of MSM messaging however, that politicians have become lazy. They do not have to argue their case, and have no incentive to hold back on untruths either.

The endless bitter antagonism to Putin and to Russia has allowed a self-imagined reality to detach, ultimately becoming a delusion 🔮

📢 Though pinioned as he is for all eternity on Lucifer’s sharpest tridents, MI5 agent George Orwell can treat himself to the wryest of smiles. MI5 have not only honoured this pervert with his own statue outside of their BBC head office but they have now installed Marianna Spring as Tsarina of the BBC’s Orwellian named Ministry of Truth.

George Orwell was not MI5’s only BBC mole. MI5 actually set up this bloated propaganda outfit and overtly and covertly chose all its staff for decades. Though one would have to be very naive to believe that they still do not do so, there is evidence aplenty to show that this is still the case.

MI5’s BBC can appoint all the under-qualified Ministry of Truth Tsarinas that they wish. They can erect all the statues to spies and sex fiends that they want. But they really should erase the lettering at the back of Orwell’s statue which reads: “If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear”.

The British people do not want to hear the BBC 🔇 That is why their viewing numbers are so dire and why they must terrorise vulnerable grandmothers with their courts and their gulags.

An Alastair masterpiece.

We had an absolutely fabulous conversation today.

Follow Alastair on Strategic Culture, al-Mayadeen and his regular podcasts with Judge Napolitano.

"For the West, it is ontologically impossible to tolerate their reality being disassembled: to see their society and the world split in two. The narrative reality is so embedded via the well-honed effectiveness of MSM messaging however, that politicians have become lazy. They do not have to argue their case, and have no incentive to hold back on untruths either.

The dynamics are exorable: an over-hyped ‘monolithic reality’ evolves into a Manichaean fight to the death. Any backsliding by ‘principals’ could result in the collapse of the Media narrative ‘house of cards’. (This notion of a monolithic reality is not one shared by most other societies who see reality as multi-faceted).

Denial becomes endemic."
🇹🇷 Recep Tayyip Erdogan has won a third term as President of Turkey which will extend his time in power to a quarter of a century.

The authoritarian leader has won another five years at the helm of a ship struggling in a sea of economic woes, that has seen inflation rise to an annual 44%, and the Turkish lira devalued. Economic experts point the blame squarely at Erdogan who has refused to follow economic policy and raise interest rates.

Erdogan won just over 52% of the vote against Kemal Kilicdaroglu, the opposition candidate chosen to represent a consortium of six parties in the second round run-off on May 28.

The race was close, and that means Turkey is divided down the middle, with supporters of Erdogan, and the other half feeling desperate for change, unsatisfied with the state of the country, and fearful of where it is headed. The Erdogan-controlled media played a large role as they showcased Erdogan’s campaign ads, but gave almost no air time for the opposition.

Under Erdogan, Ankara is not afraid of being independent, or buying military products not “Made in USA”🤞

🤯 Is it possible for a once august political institution to fall lower than Lindsey Graham?

It sounds unlikely, but in this case we should keep an open mind.

During his recent visit to Kiev, not “Kyiv” of course, where he was hosted by another crackpot, Graham made remarks that delighted the 15% of the world that still pays attention to such drivel but managed to disgust the remainder of the planet. Graham drooled over “killing Russians” and praised the extermination of that particular ethnicity as “the best investment we had ever made.” His uncivilised rant has appropriately gone viral.

If there ever was doubt whether Senator Lindsey Graham was a certified moron, the issue is now resolved 🤕
