It's like Mike Tyson said, and it applies to Europe now: "Everybody has a plan until they get hit in the mouth." But this was an exceptionally stupid and ill thought out plan. It should both scare us to death and give us succor that these incredibly stupid "leaders" have looked to Klaus Schwab and George Soros for direction and this is the best they could do. Speaking of mouths, how is it that Baiden's handlers are so stupid as to let him speak in public? He's like the town gossip who simply repeats everything in public that he hears said in private. What do they think about his role? "Ein Volk, ein Reich, ein Führer"? LOL. The Azov brigade may think so but U.S. citizens not so much.
All this said, I am not scared of Putin or nuclear war. I do remain scared of the NWO/WEF types in that they have tremendous power and control over our lives via technology, financial systems, health systems, and the strategic placement of national leaders. Will they destroy everything (including us) before they willingly give up power?
Agree. Not scared of Putin. He seems sane unlike the DC cabal. But they are obviously putting Sock Puppet out there for a reason. It's not some accident or a surprise to them. They obviously want SPOTUS out there making an ass of himself and the US for some reason. Cui bono? The EU for one. It gives their leaders alot of cover for not following the US lead here. It weakens the US overall, another big benefit to EU and ECB. Bear in mind that a big part of the global game is capital flow. If the Fed continues to raise rates there will be a mighty pull of capital out of EU and into the US, so painting the US as a crazy cart veering off a cliff may persuade capital to stay in EU. If there is a direct war w Russia, the EU wants to be sure it lands squarely on the US and not them. A devastated US suits their plans to a T (as Luongo has said on many occasions).
If it turns out that most or all of this 'reset' thing is just a U.S.-Europe affair and not truly global, that will be the best news I've heard in some time. That's a whole different ball of wax, in a good way. The last two years make it hard to have faith in that possibility, but who knows...?
What the NYTs was attempting to get ahead of last week when they finally admitted the laptop was Hunter's and NOT "Russian misinformation?" 😂
I think the Buyden's (& a whole lot of bad actors not named Buyden) finally have a bigger mess than they can sweep under the rug. Trump filed a RICO suit last wk & is rumored to be filing another suit on Mon. CA's Rep Issa announced litigation holds ("document preservation notices") for Twitter, FB, & the WH (Klain & Psaki specifically mentioned) abt the same time, looking for evidence of collusion or collaboration in the Hunter Biden laptop scandal.
I don't know what will come of it all, but am enjoying the show for now.
I agree the NYT was trying to get ahead of the Hunter Laptop, I am just not sure due to what. The main stream media and Internet Companies has done such an amazing job of Censorship on the issue, it's now old news.
SWAG's:
1. Somebody was about to make all the text and pictures searchable (with under 18 image censored) on a website.
2. This Hunter Biden Ukranian Bio Lab SNAFU
3. Fear of lawsuit from Trump and discovery. My gut feeling is it will be thrown out due to standing, but Trump has an impressive record in court (with the exception of challenging election results).
4. Fear of FBI / DOJ Investigation of Hunter Biden - Under the Hillary / James Comey / Podestra doctrine of justice that Democrats are never prosecuted because they lack bad intent - my guess is wrist slap.
#5. Something else. The only reason they come out w this kind of thing is to help their own purpose. The DC gangsters don't operate like us. They have no fear of exposure as in 1-4. They are above all laws as they've shown repeatedly.
So what purpose? To lay the groundwork for getting rid of Sock Puppet or perhaps leverage against Jill and the fam and their allies. There is a kind of internal war amongst the cartel members and the laptop reveal was a large salvo.
If it turns out McIntyre actually meant to blame the NAZIs any less for the Holocaust than what reality demands, I too will be flabbergasted. I don't suggest a reading of it along those lines is unfounded, but I'll hold off on thinking McIntyre is soft on the NAZI role in the Holocaust until something more affirmative of such comes along. I mean, really, that would be just ... WOW.
"the east European countries which had been THE PRIMARY PERPETRATORS of the Holocaust" seems extremely clear and precise to me. Compare that to, say, "The Nazis were the primary perpetrators of the Holocaust, which took place in Eastern European countries." Since he goes on to deplore "amplifying eastern European grudges and ideologies" it seems very clear that he has an animus against "Eastern Europeans" generally.
For a few weeks, Steve McIntyre has been tweeting about the Azov Battalion and if they have any Nazi connection. He traces them back to the former Galicia region. I think it's more likely that he's referring to the pockets of the local population that willing collaborate with the German & Austrian Nazis. There have been too many geographical descriptors for the region that may lead to imprecision. His wording may depend if one calls the former Warsaw Pact as Central Europe and the former USSR as Eastern Europe.
I think Steve's limiting his analysis of root causes to WW2 is not helpful. The non-Russian Slavic people stretch over area the size of the US and have been dominated by Russian, Austrian, Ottoman, and German. This seems more comparable to a US map with English, French, Spanish, and Dutch spheres of influence populated by peoples described as slaves and serfs, which has put these Slavs behind the modern world economically and politically.
Finding useful info on these peoples is difficult, which may due to the Slavs occupying the many shifting frontier regions and history written by their conquerors. My estimation is there are probably lots of Belfast's. This lines up with the Yugoslav war, where fault lines occurred in the same towns where Serbs were settled to protect Vienna from a Ottoman invasion (search Croatian Military Frontier for maps and wiki info).
Well, I took a walk over to McIntyre's thread on twitter to look for comments and replies and found nothing exculpatory. A handful of commenters pointed out the error and McIntyre responded to none of them.
Gee whiz, ya think ya know a person, and then all of a sudden... :(
If I gave myself permission to interact on that satanic spawn of a site, I'd ask him myself. I always had a good relationship with the man and never had a problem wording things in a way to get a response if that was my goal. But twitter is the devil and I just won't go there.
I'm a big believer in not concluding "guilty as charged" until I think I've really given the person every last shot, and so I'll try to do so here. Hardly an auspicious beginning to the trial, though, to say the least.
BREAKING: Russia has announced the arrest warrant of George Soros. George is allegedly the main promoter of the Ukraine war and also the sponsor of the riot that ousted Yanukovych in 2014. China has equally declared him a Financial Terrorist.
It's the nature of propaganda. Create the "other" group and then create hate of it. What people do not realize is that any group of people can be demonized because we are all sinful. "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone." LIke with stereotypes there is always a grain of truth that is blown up to create an emotional response. We best treat others as we would have them treat us, as individuals first and foremost.
Why should the Russian's pick up, when the US will just lie? And it's another opportunity for Putin to split the Europeans from the US, and embarrass the US.
And the insults and threats being thrown at the Russians by Biden are unbelievable. Along with the pro Ukrainian propaganda that is coming out from the Ukranian / Western Media.
How many other countries will feel threatened by US threats of Regime Change?
The Russians stopping their advance, whatever the real reasons, is a huge development for the Europeans. Germany is desperate to get out of the sanctions and rhetoric hole that they, and their US allies, have dug themselves. My guess is they severely under estimated the blow back on the economic sanctions and the impact inflation. And threats to the Chinese Market for Germany due to sanctions are a huge concern.
I don't believe he or his brothers would put up with the posing and hypocrisy we see nowadays from Hollywood. They built their whole career on making fun of the pretensions of the rich and the upper class (God bless Margeret Dumont) - they had to keenly understand the hollowness of their pretensions to do so.
If you look at McIntyre's thread, he includes a table that ranks countries by # of Jews killed, so Eastern Europe easily leads the pack, for the simple reason that that's where by far the largest numbers of Jews lived. Poland is at the top of the list--fully 10% of the prewar Polish population was Jewish, centred in cities (Warsaw could have been as much as 40% Jewish, but not less than a third). So is Poland the biggest perpetrator of the Holocaust? Not so much:
It's an incredibly stupid assertion on McIntyre's part--unforegiveably so, given the enormity of the accusation.
The countries that eagerly turned in their Jews were often countries where there were not the draconian laws that the Germans instituted in Poland (summary execution for not turning in a Jew)--places like France and Netherlands. For example, the Dutch family that harbored Anne Frank's family were not executed, nor was the Jewish notary who apparently betrayed them.
Yes, exactly! Now, the degree of persecution and permissiveness varied per country over time. But the population numbers at the time of WWII are indicative of that.

Were the wheels ever on? Shut down energy production, the Afghanistan debacle, inflation and an obviously senile president....
When we rebuilt Germany and Japan, we still a Christian country. You know, all that naive stuff about forgiving your enemies...
Well, there was also the part about wanting them as allies against the USSR and PRC. Which is why we went easy on some war criminals.

I agree the Daily Mail is "wildly propagandistic", but...
1. The Daily Mail publishes stuff the US Media won't due to political correctness self censorship.
2. The Daily Mail comments are VERY useful for seeing the zeitgeist / feelings / emotional temperature on a subject.
3. The number of comments on this article, 2300 is significant.
4. The top comments are all about the Biden Corruption.
5. The Daily Mail is one of the top 5 news sites worldwide, so it has a huge reach / impact. 300+ Million visitors per month.
Hunter Biden's involvement in something this important to Ukraine, biological warfare, is "inconceivable".

Or all of the above? Durham is also supposed to be coming out w/more material next week, iirc.
The wheels of justice turn mighty slow, but I hold on to hope.

President Biden on Putin after meeting Ukrainian refugees in Poland: "He's a butcher."

May be labeling Putin a war criminal was not such a good idea...
Rumor of Russian Arrest warrant for Soros goes back years. Be VERY interesting if this is true.
