Twitter Potpourri: Covid, Ukraine, WEF
No particular order—I got these from Alex Krainer’s feed:
Here in IL we’re seeing the stats consistently reflecting what looks very much like a pandemic of the injected. In that regard, consider also this disturbing article, which discusses Geert van den Bossche’s views—he’s a well respected vaccine expert, for those who may have lost track of him: Is the COVID Pandemic about to Get Ugly?
Safe and effective—for you, but not for me!
Lavrov knows his history. Americans tend to ignore history because we’ve largely been insulated from its effects here at home and fail to recognize how we’re often dragged, as a nation, into the concerns and obsessions of others:
Woops! Isn’t that supposed to be kept under the radar, so to speak? Surrounded by a bodyguard of lies, as Churchill would say?
I haven’t watched this video—it’s a good two hours long! The topic interests me greatly, as it shows the current war on Russia as an event on an historical continuum that runs from the late 19th century to the present.
I’m currently reading a book on the subject: Conjuring Hitler: How Britain and America Made the Third Reich.
Nazism is usually depicted as the outcome of political blunders and unique economic factors: we are told that it could not be prevented, and that it will never be repeated. In this explosive book, Guido Giacomo Preparata shows that the truth is very different: using meticulous economic analysis, he demonstrates that Hitler's extraordinary rise to power was in fact facilitated -- and eventually financed -- by the British and American political classes during the decade following World War I. Through a close analysis of events in the Third Reich, Preparata unveils a startling history of Anglo-American geopolitical interests in the early twentieth century. He explains that Britain, still clinging to its empire, was terrified of an alliance forming between Germany and Russia. He shows how the UK, through the Bank of England, came to exercise control over Weimar Germany and how Anglo-American financial support for Hitler enabled the Nazis to seize power. This controversial study shows that Nazism was not regarded as an aberration: for the British and American establishment of the time, it was regarded as a convenient way of destabilising Europe and driving Germany into conflict with Stalinist Russia, thus preventing the formation of any rival continental power block. Guido Giacomo Preparata lays bare the economic forces at play in the Third Reich, and identifies the key players in the British and American establishment who aided Hitler's meteoric rise.
The war on Russia is not simply a continuation of the Cold War. The roots are far deeper. Ironically, the West seems to be so captive to past fears that it is driving Russia into alliance with a rising China—which was prostrate until recently.
Sadly, she’s not atypical of many people out here
