Ukraine: NYT Outlines American-Led Mercenary Group Killing Russian POWs, Zelenskyy Outlines Russian Troop Advancements

It’s odd how no one in the American media seems to ask how Obama and Biden went from a friendly “reset” with Russia in 2009 to full geopolitical antagonism in 2011.

♦ What exactly led to the complete reversal of intent?

I digress…. However, having some deeper understanding of the current status of the conflict, I also find it curious how the New York Tims can just seemingly bury the lead in their story about how U.S-led military “mercenary” soldiers are on the ground fighting, while seemingly forgetting their prior outline about how the CIA was conducting all the military operations in the same area. Not funny, that.

In Ukraine, Killings of Surrendering Russians Divide an American-Led Unit” – […] Hours after a battle in eastern Ukraine in August, a wounded and unarmed Russian soldier crawled through a nearly destroyed trench, seeking help from his captors, a unit of international volunteers led by an American.

Caspar Grosse, a German medic in that unit, said he saw the soldier plead for medical attention in a mix of broken English and Russian. It was dusk. A team member looked for bandages.

That is when, Mr. Grosse said, a fellow soldier hobbled over and fired his weapon into the Russian soldier’s torso. He slumped, still breathing. Another soldier fired — “just shot him in the head,” Mr. Grosse recalled in an interview.

Mr. Grosse said he was so upset by the episode that he confronted his commander. He said he spoke to The New York Times after what he regarded as unwarranted killings continued. It is highly unusual for a soldier to speak publicly about battlefield conduct, particularly involving men whom he still considers friends. (read more)

This type of ground report follows a pattern created by an incurious international media. There’s a reason why the State Dept and CIA control the narratives delivered by western stenographers. Meanwhile, the U.S. taxpayers are the ones funding the payroll for the “official” and “unofficial conflict.

If you don’t think Vladimir Putin is very well aware that he is fighting Americans in the USA proxy province called Ukraine, then you are infected with the current strain of pretending that has seemingly swept the west.

Russian President Vladimir Putin knows he is not fighting a Zelenskyy led Ukraine military operation. Spend some time in the forbidden zone and you will quickly learn that Russia is very clear-eyed about how USA forces are the proverbial unofficial boots on the ground, and they have been for years – long before Russia “invaded” their eastern neighbor.

KYIV — Ukrainian forces are pulling back along parts of the frontline under fierce Russian pressure; Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy blamed the difficult situation on a lack of weapons for his soldiers.

That’s likely to increase pressure from Kyiv during next week’s NATO Washington summit for its allies to speed up arms deliveries.

“This is not a stalemate, but a problematic situation,” Zelenskyy told Bloomberg on Thursday. “A problem can be solved if there are tools and desire. We have the desire, but the tools have not arrived. We have brigades without weapons. We have 14 brigades that do not have the appropriate weapons that have already been voted on and talked about.” (read more)

In 2022, the New York Times published an article saying the CIA and Pentagon special forces are organizing and conducting the NATO war effort from a secret operation center in Kyiv.

Some viewed the article as the NYT violating operational security for the U.S. led effort. However, that perspective belies the nature of how the media is used in war by Dept of State and intelligence officials.  The details of the Times article were attributed to “three U.S. officials,” and should be looked upon as purposeful for the intent of provocation.

♦ To answer the lead-in question….. Ultimately, if you drill down the conflict to its core and essential origin, you will find the USA spending several years in Ukraine on behalf of a small banking group who controls the ‘western’ global financial system.

If the bankers took no proactive action, the dollar-based global financial system was going to erode further.  Take away the western financial system and the powers that inevitably control all global conflict would see their abilities diminish.  Peace is not a lucrative enterprise for the continuation of assembled affluence.

You cannot have “world peace” and simultaneous retention of global financial control by a small group of benefactors.  Independent wealth leads to hindsight questions amid those previously impoverished.

The solution to the historic truism? WAR!

And here we are!

Consumed by Hatred

QUESTION: How can such hatred be passed down the generations for so long? I have never experienced a family grudge against another, so it is hard for me to understand. Besides, neither side is completely innocent for them to claim such an injustice. Far from it.

I have 2 high school friends that I graduated with that are State Reps in local districts and neither of them would be able to answer the question of why is no one interested in peace. Let alone investigate any of the Neocons. Nonetheless, I do put questions and challenges out in the local political scene, like when the Covid mandates came out. But no one could give me a good answer. They just think my questions and protests are annoying.

EM

ANSWER: That region retains hatred for generations. I believe it stems from the Eastern Rule of Law. In ancient Athens, if I killed someone in your family, you had the right of vengeance, and if you could not kill me, killing anyone else in my family, even the score. We saw a bit of that with the Hatfield vs. McCoys.

I was called by the old Yugoslavic government. They were talking about how their ethnic enemies had killed 600 of them and thrown them in a common grave. I thought I missed something in the news. When I asked when it was, they replied about 700 years ago.

As I have said, we had employees in Ukraine on both sides – Donestk and Kiev. When we had a conference in Greece, the one from Kiev would not take the shortest return flight because it connected in Moscow. You could NEVER bring a bottle of Russian Vodka to dinner in Kiev. That would be a huge insult. They insist that Kiev should now be spelled Kyiv because of their hatred of Russians.

That is why the CIA protected Ukrainian Nazis who engaged in ethnic cleansing of Polish, Hungarians, Jews, and Russians.  The Ukrainians were so evil they even horrified Germans. They  cut babies out of a pregnant woman, put in a live cat, and stitched her up. All of these things are documented. Poland has come out and confirmed that Ukraine REFUSES to apologize for its “dark past” and the world is willing to go to nuclear war all for these people? When will the world wake up that the American Neocons are engaging in the same ethnic cleansing, for they claim roots in Ukraine and are persecuted by Russians? Naturally, some have not been indoctrinated, but you can have an intelligent conversation. But many were brainwashed with hatred just a Stalin taught kids that the State was your real parent and if your biological “caretakers” ever spoke against the State, they were to report them.

Even Zelensky, before becoming president, hid his Jewish background and joked about confiscating assets from Jews and Russians. This was the humor in Ukraine.

The hatred in that area runs very deep, and it has been taught for generations all because the borders have changed constantly. Talk to a 20-something Ukrainian, and they will tell you what the Russians did to them. It was a Bosnian Serb who, on June 28th, 1914, assassinated Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria and his wife that instigated World War I all because of this ethnic hatred that is passed from generation to generation as the borders have constantly changed.

1683 Siege of Vienna Medal
Panics 168301907

World War I was rooted in deep hatred. The Ottoman Empire was declining, contributing to the political destabilization of the region. For, if you recall, the defeat of the Ottoman Empire in the siege of Viena in 1683 divided the region. That was the first financial panic I discovered on that list, leading me to the Economic Confidence Model.

Austria-Hungary held Serbia responsible and instantly declared war on July 28th against all Serbs. Russia then mobilized and came to Serbia’s defense. By August 4th, Germany, Russia, France, and the United Kingdom were all drawn into the war by alliances just like NATO today. The Ottomans joined the fight in November 1914.

NATO North Atlantic Terror Organization

NATO should have been defunded and shut down in 1991. Its sole purpose was to defend Europe against Russian communism. When communism collapsed, so did the idea of expanding to defeat capitalism, as a good Marxist would advocate.

Economist Russia takes Europe

NATO has been fearful that the climate change agenda would strip money from it, and as I have said, internal documents have shown that it has sought to remain relative with a threat from Russia to invade Europe. Russia has no interest in conquering Europe. That was the days of Communism. Yet NATO has promoted war to keep its funding. Here are the Declassified Documents from the Clinton Administration. When communism fell in 1991, there were proposals that Russia join NATO. That is why there was a coup against Gorbachev by Russia’s Neocons, who saw it as surrendering to the West.

NATO Invites Russia 1991

NOBODY in the media is interested in peace. All they do is promote war. This is NOT going to end well, and the West will find that the center of the world economy will be lost, and this time, it will migrate to China. This is NOT my personal opinion. This is the forecast by the ONLY real AI computer with virtually a 50-year track record in geopolitics that has called all the elections and conflicts. The war would begin in 2014, and this war would start in Ukraine. I am 74. I get to leave this planet. So, I have nothing to gain or lose. My only regret is what I leave behind for my grandchildren because these evil people are consumed by their own hate and self-interest.

NATO will create World War III just like the alliances created in World War I. Nobody in the leadership role of any country dares even to question what is taking place. I guess we deserve what we get. It is just our time. No matter what I write or say, I cannot change our date with destiny.

Goring Herman on War

War is created by the Elite – never the people.

Hopefully, in 2032, we will learn from these mistakes and change things for the better.

We will not change society until we witness how these Neocons destroy it.

Russia and Ukraine Recruiting Female Prisoners

Both Russia and Ukraine have seen tens of thousands of soldiers die amid this seemingly endless war. Russia has begun seeking new recruits by turning to female inmates and foreigners. The New York Times reported that 30,000 were voluntarily serving Russia’s armed forces at the beginning of the war. Now, Russia is promising a form of freedom to female inmates who agree to join the war effort.

Russia sent military recruiters to female prisons last year. The nation already implemented a program to pardon male inmates in exchange for serving in the war, but this is the first time Russia has called upon women to do the same.  Tens of thousands of men have agreed to join the war in exchange for a pardon. Russia is now offering women a pardon in exchange for only on year of military service and a monthly salary of $2,000, which is over 10 times the nation’s minimum wage.

Now, the New York Times reported that conditions in Russia’s prisons are extremely brutal. Prisoners are expected to remain silent for up to 12 hours per day and are forced to perform physical labor even in the winter climate. Still, the majority of female inmates have opted to remain behind bars rather than fight in the war.

Ukraine needs even more recruits than Russia and plans to mobilize up to 20,000 inmates, but under 5,000 have signed up thus far. Russia has a population of 144 million whereas Ukraine is composed of only 38 million. “There is competition between military commanders to hire (prisoners) since there is a lack of manpower, so they really want to have access to these people,” Justice Minister Denys Maliuska told Reuters. Ukraine has plans for prisoner-only brigades, which one may find concerning. Unlike Russia, Ukraine will not allow prisoners who have committed certain offenses to serve just yet. “They (will be) in the media spotlight, and if there is a single deserter or a single crime, that would be the type of thing in the media that would be bad PR for us,” Maliuska said.

FemaleRussianTroops

They do this during drafts throughout the world. They offered US prisoners the option to serve in Vietnam, for example, but only men were enticed with that offer. Women are likely to be targeted for military service during the next draft.

Ukrainian women are already forced to sign up for conscription, whereas Russia has not yet called upon its women to serve. Zelensky has simply refused to entertain any peace talks or do the unthinkable and actually honor the Minsk Agreement. The West has just provided Ukraine with another aid package, and it looks as if they will soon provide them a loan with frozen Russian assets. Both sides are desperate for manpower and will need to look beyond their own nations for willing fighters.

Democrats Wave Ukraine Flags in Victory as Another $61 Billion Spending Bill Passes


Posted originally on the CTH on April 20, 2024 | Sundance

Pouring salt in an open wound, House Democrats gleefully waved Ukraine flags in the Capitol chamber celebrating the elevation of Ukraine as a sovereign proxy state for congressional largess over the needs of American citizens.

Most of the $61 billion sent into the Ukraine laundry operation today will be returned to congressional leadership pacs via campaign donations from the military contractors and NGO recipients.

Despite the prior concerns, the Democrat and Republican beneficiaries of this massive money laundering were thrilled the USIC organized Iran missile firing operation against Israel worked so perfectly.  You can see Democrats wave the flags of Ukraine in celebration within this video.  It’s sickening. WATCH:

WASHINGTON DC – […] The vote on Ukraine became so contentious that some Republicans, also taking umbrage with the Ukraine flags on the House floor, started to boo them. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) ran up to a microphone to tell her colleagues across the aisle: “Put those damn flags away.” (more)
