Peace Talks Possible Between Russia and Ukraine, As Magnificently Defiant Zelenskyy Stands Atop The Alamo of Kyiv Taking Selfies

The propaganda pouring out of Ukraine from the U.S. State Department and the taxpayer funded Non-Governmental Organizations (NGO’s) is, in a modern scale, historic.

In their collective effort to make #Ukraine the modern image of The Alamo (where the last stand to defend all mankind is taking place), the corporate media, state dept and NGO’s are utilizing their Hollywood directed #BringBackOurGirls and #KonySurrender techniques in the extreme.

Pay no attention to the absence of any war fighting actually taking place, meaning the lack of actual fighting shooting and stuff in a modern era where everyone has cell phone cameras, and instead focus your attention to the ‘story telling.’

After all, the White House was very clear that the winner of this contest to defend all humanity from the Russian villain Vladimir Putin, would depend on who could tell a “better story.”

Thus, you do not need to see shooting or actual war type stuff.  Instead, the contest to save the planet is boiled down to who can take a better selfie.

As Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh stated last week, the U.S. government has rallied the collective west to defeat Russia using the cultural weapon of social likeability.   Vladimir Putin is getting pummeled.

It’s all a grand pantomime folks.  All of it.  Volodymyr Zelenskyy is the newest Michael Avenatti.

Ukraine has been the playground for the U.S. State Dept, NGO’s, intelligence schemes and DC political grift for well over a decade.  You know it, because it has been well documented.  Yet suddenly, the same Ukraine is the modern Alamo in the battle to save all mankind. Oh, okay, and we’re supposed to forget the first stuff.

If you’re wondering, why has it taken the Russia army four days to travel 30 miles?   You must believe it is, because Ukrainians with their free Kalashnikov rifles and Molotov cocktails have beaten back the onslaught of heavily mechanized armored tank divisions.   You must believe it, because you are being told by the most trusted names in news.

If you don’t believe it… and if you think it all just seems odd as Ukrainian politicians are taking selfies amid this monumental military encounter…   well, you must be a Russian agent, or something.

Comrades, just wait until tomorrow, when Russia will bomb the baby formula factories, then perhaps you will take it seriously.  How can you not feel sympathy for the babies, the mothers, teachers, crying on the television as they tell stories about saving their children from the scourge of the artillery fire that must be heard in the ever familiar “off in the distance.”

It’s weird how no journalist will actually go to that “distant” place they all talk about.  Alas, I digress….

WASHINGTON DC – Multiple media organizations are reporting that Ukraine and Russia will hold peace talks on the border of Ukraine and Belarus. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky confirmed to Sky News that the two sides would hold the talks on the border of Ukraine and Belarus, where some of the Russian troops invading his country had been held.

Zelensky had refused to agree to an earlier request for talks in Belarus, arguing it was not neutral territory.

Sunday was the fourth day of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, which has been slowed by fierce resistance from Ukrainian troops and private citizens. 

Several cities including the capitol of Kyiv have been bombarded by Russia, and there has additionally been fighting in the streets.

Sky News, referring to a statement from Zelensky’s office, said the two delegations will meet “without preconditions” near the Pripyat River. (read more)

Bottom line folks… the Russia -vs- Ukraine crisis is cover for the outcomes of Joe Biden’s energy policy, so that American voters do not attach $10/gal gasoline to his climate change agenda, and instead apportion the blame to Russia and Vladimir Putin.

Again, “never let a crisis go to waste,” and if you can’t find the crisis to use, make one.

Is Western Press Egging Putin to Fully Invade Ukraine?


Armstrong Economics Blog/Russia Re-Posted Feb 27, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

One must wonder if the West is intentionally trying to create a full-scale European war. “Putin is furious, he thought that the whole war would be easy and everything would be done in 1-4 days,” tweeted Riho Terras, who is also the former defense chief of NATO member Estonia. They are also claiming that Putin has yet to take any major city. But from the outset, Putin’s government has made it very clear that, unlike the United States, it has no plans on occupying Ukraine. The only question for Putin is to absorb Donetsk and the Luhansk People’s Republics into Russia or to leave them as independent republics. Pentagon sources say Putin has invaded with only 30% of his troops that were on the border. If he truly wanted to crush Ukraine would send them all in.

The Western Press appears to be pretending that Putin is losing the war when in fact his invasion force is NOT overwhelming. If Putin was really losing, he would send in the entire force for he would NEVER publicly allow Ukraine to defeat Russia. Let’s get real here. Stop the total BS. The danger here is that Germany just may have expanded the war to all of Europe as the US was breaking its neutrality shipping arms secretly to Britain on passage ships – i.e. Lusitania. The German Chancellor Olaf Scholz just announced Saturday that Germany will provide anti-tank weapons and surface-to-air missiles to Ukraine. In matters of war, that now justifies Russia declaring war on Germany since this is now a formal declaration against Russia by Germany.

They have also avoided mentioning the Minsk Agreement which was supposed to have been brokered by France and Germany since 2014. They are only reporting Western propaganda and not the truth about anything. So far Putin has invaded Ukraine with less than half of his forces. What they are twisting in their reporting is that Putin may not be trying to conquer Ukraine – just to demilitarize as he said. If that is the case, then other than eliminating the government in Kyiv, he does not need to take all the cities. By reporting that Putin is losing, it seems more than they are egging him on to outright destroy Ukraine and occupy it.

The open question remains, was Zelensky misled by the West? Back in early December, the Biden pledged military support to Ukraine in event of a Russian invasion. Did Biden deliberately promise military support so that Zelensky would not yield on the Minsk Agreement and allow the Donetsk and the Luhansk to be independent republics?

Ukraine also accounts for nearly 30% of global wheat exports and 20% of corn exports. This is not being taken into consideration going forward. The rumor circulating around is that the EU wanted this war to justify cutting off the gas from Russia and to force the Green Agenda to end Fossil Fuels. This appears to be escalating into April near-term and may not reach a major expansion until 2023 when we also have a Yearly Panic Cycle in Gold.

The future does not look so calm. The United States, European Union, and the United Kingdom on Saturday agreed to block “selected’ Russian banks from the SWIFT global financial messaging system and to impose ”restrictive measures” on its central bank in retaliation for its invasion of Ukraine. They are not removing Russia entirely from SWIFT, but all they are now doing is inviting China and Russia to ban together. It has appeared ever since Hillary fabricated the Russian/Trump Conspiracy, the press has done nothing but demonizes Russia and 75% of Democrats view Russia as the enemy. That is very dangerous for justifying war.

Why is Putin Holding Back?


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 27, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

QUESTION: Hi,
I speak Polish. On Twitter, one Polish military guy remarked that on all those videos he can not see the most modern Russian equipment. This was unexpected as you would anticipate otherwise considering the character of rapid attack. Is Putin planning more than the Ukraine invasion? Or did he not expect the dogged resistance?

PP

ANSWER: It does not appear that Putin has sent in his hard-core troops. Only about 30% were sent into Ukraine. Nato has warned that if there is an attack on a NATO country, then they must respond. This seems to be a concern as to why he has committed so few troops to Ukraine why the major forces stand ready on the borders. Lost in all of this is the fact that Putin has also made a direct threat to Europe that if Sweden and Finland join NATO there will be “detrimental military and political consequences.” He has NOT committed the strategic forces to Ukraine so all the gloating by the Western Press seems to be fools trying to impress idiots. Russia & China combined will defeat the West. Someone needs to be muzzled.

Well, Gates will be happy. He will achieve his dream – depopulation of the world!

COVID-19 Vaccine Responsible for False-Positive Syphilis Tests


Armstrong Economics Blog/Disease Re-Posted Feb 27, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has admitted that people who received the COVID-19 vaccine are falsely testing positive for syphilis. “More research is underway to determine the extent of the issue. It is not known if other RPR tests may be affected similarly. Treponemal testing for syphilis such as Treponema pallidum particle agglutination (TP-PA) and treponemal immunoassays do not appear to be impacted by this issue,” the FDA said.

“False-reactive RPR testing also have been previously observed following immunization (specifically following smallpox vaccine),” a member of the CDC reported. The CDC member also stated that “false-reactive RPR test results have been observed in people with systemic infections unrelated to syphilis.” Could the protein spike from the mRNA vaccine be the culprit? Although health institutions claimed that the body would stop producing spike proteins within weeks, the FDA has admitted that is inaccurate. “Based on information provided by the manufacturer, Bio-Rad Laboratories, RPR false reactivity was observed in some individuals for at least five months following a COVID-19 vaccination.” The vaccine manufacturers owe it to the public to release what is in these vaccines.

Neil Oliver, We Watch Russia Through the Barred Windows of Our Own Despotism


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 26, 2022 | Sundance | 53 Comments

Neil Oliver delivers his remarks this weekend expressing genuine sympathy for the people in Ukraine yet distrusting the constant bombardment by those demanding we pay attention to it.

We watch Russia, but after all our own leaders have shown us in the past two-years, amid their COVID authorized lusts for power, it is a wide-open and wary eye our leaders are trying to move.  WATCH:

A wounded water buffalo was spotted trying to give birth on the dangerous Serengeti Plain, CNN International reports if Russia had not annexed Crimea, it wouldn’t have happened.  Early tomorrow morning, a man in Wisconsin will miss his bus, because the battery in his alarm clock ran out; if only Putin had not disrupted the global supply chain these issues would not be happening.

The drawbridge near Baton Rouge Louisiana was stuck yesterday – MSNBC angrily confirms Putin caused it.  In New York, a once joyful fifth grade teacher’s chalk broke in half right when she was about to use it on the blackboard; Margaret Brennan points the glare at Ukraine.

If the stock market climbs, or falls, or stays the same, we can be certain that Moscow had something to do with it.

When the planes arrive/depart typically late, CBS finds a way to make NATO responsible for it – if the sanctions had only come sooner.

When the sun rises today, it will only be because President Volodymyr Zelenskyy spent all night on his knees knitting sweaters for homeless kittens while fending off Russian special forces and making phone calls to the European commission.  George Stephanopoulos has all the details.

Everything is Vladimir Putin’s fault, says the PBS reporter standing at the base of the Statue of Liberty to catch her tears, because it was all just so avoidable.

And… somewhere in the distance Jacinda Ardern, Justin Trudeau, Emmanuel Macron, Boris Johnson and Ron Klain are on a zoom call smiling with Klaus Schwab.

The First Casualty of War Is the Truth – The Current Western Propaganda for Ukraine Is Epic in Scale


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 26, 2022 | Sundance | 653 Comments

When we shared yesterday that all interested observers should be very wary of the information from media sources around Ukraine, there was a reason for that.  Question everything. Take nothing at face value.

If you have never experienced the propaganda push surrounding war, the totality of the inbound bullsh*t can be destabilizing, overwhelming and unnerving.  It’s one of the reasons why CTH doesn’t share immediate information.  Everyone has an agenda.

Everything we are seeing in U.S. media surrounding U.S. interests in Ukraine is a massive propaganda operation with the headquarters in the U.S. State Department and U.S. intelligence community.  The sense of sympathy you are feeling is part of an intentionally manipulative operation from within this DC matrix.

The images, pictures, videos, speeches, soundbites and the cinematography broadcast by U.S. corporate media are all purposefully intended to create a very specific outlook within the American people toward the issues in Ukraine.  The leftist United Nations, and the leftist U.S State Dept, will work together on this just like they have done in the prior examples (Ukraine 1.0, Libya, Egypt, etc.).

It is very easy to become a victim of psychological warfare intended to manipulate our opinions.

The neocons, war promoting agents working on behalf of the UniParty and the collective globalist interests, are all united in their effort.

Unfortunately, almost everything being transmitted from corporate news into our psyche is part of a battle for your mind.  The goal is to create a self-fulfilling prophecy.

This is why people who are familiar with these types of tactics often tap-out when the drumbeats get loudest.

{SEE HERE}

The White House, which means the total globalist effort, tipped their hand earlier last week when they defined “strategic power” and their outlook toward winning the battle for the mind.  Everything is about writing a script, creating a narrative, building a “better story,” where the globalists are the heroes.   In essence, the “strategic power” battle is for your mind…

…”Ultimately, the goal of our sanctions is to make this a strategic failure for Russia; and let’s define a little bit of what that means. Strategic success in the 21st century is not about a physical land grab of territory; that’s what Putin has done. 

In this century, strategic power is increasingly measured and exercised by economic strength, by technological sophistication and your story – who you are, what your values are; can you attract ideas and talent and goodwill? And on each of those measures, this will be a failure for Russia.”

Everything in modern warfare is storytelling.

Question all of it.

The stories of the 13 guards on an island telling the Russian naval ship to fuck off… yeah, it was a lie (turns out they surrendered). The “Ghost of Kyiv” pilot, the lady with the sunflower seeds etc., now all recognized as lies and propaganda.  And do not expect it to stop, because it won’t. Thus, the nature of warfare for your mind.

Ukraine & Biological Weapons


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

There are all sorts of rumors that the US has biological weapons installations in Ukraine and Putin has been targeting them for destruction. I have found no truth to this from reliable information. It would also be totally illogical to attack such facilities for that would unleash any such biological weapons that would then also attack Russian troops and carry it home to Russia. You cannot blow up a biological weapons lab. That would unleash who knows what and it could even kill Fauci because he could say – “What lab?

The Other Side in Ukraine


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Feb 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT FROM Donbass:

I’m definitely not for war. But for 8 years, since 2014, the Ukrainian government has murdered and bombed Russian people there. Especially the cities (Donetsk and Lugansk) that refused to accept the fascist government that the United States and the European Union imposed on you in 2014 with blood and violence.

Russians in Ukraine have since become a banned ethnic group. The Russian language is banned, Russian books were burned and all Russian channels, movies, etc. were shut down and banned. 

Even people who demonstrated then were shot and burned alive. Year after year it only got worse and worse.

A few months ago, Zelensky, who is now the pro-Western president of Ukraine, honored and recognized a famous terrorist / fascist as a Ukrainian hero. 

Dmytro Kotsyubaylo is a member of the right-wing sector and the goal of his life, which he says himself is to kill as many Russians as possible. 

In several interviews, he has said openly that his caged pet wolf he feeds with bones from Russian-speaking children.

About 20 million people are in eastern and southern Ukraine.

Anonymous

REPLY: I can verify that Dmytro Kotsyubaylo did indeed tell the press that he feeds the bones of Russian-speaking children to his pet wolf. Apparently, he said that with a laugh so it may be a joke that does reflect the attitudes of some and these are the neo-Nazis that Putin referred to. These are also the ultra-right-wing in Ukraine who Putin wants to be brought to justice.

Nevertheless, the Western press is so biased against Putin, this is the real problem. Nobody will even listen to the other side. A friend from Eastern Europe who I have known for more than 10 years and who has lived mostly in the West, is disgusted with the one-sided propaganda and just text me that they cannot wait to return to Serbia which is more pro-Russia.

I can confirm that Zelensky enacted the Ukrainian-only language, whereas Yanukovich wanted both languages to be official.

THERE ARE ALWAYS TWO SIDES & WE MUST LISTEN TO BOTH

Australia Could Require 5 Jabs


Armstrong Economics Blog/Vaccine Re-Posted Feb 26, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

Australian Technical Advisory Group on Immunisation (ATAGI) chair Nigel Crawford stated before a Senate committee that he could not guarantee that Australians would not need more vaccines. He pointed to Israel and noted that they are recommending a fourth shot. Australians must already have the full two doses plus the booster to be considered “fully vaccinated.” Anyone over the age of 16 who had their second dose of mRNA will have their fully vaccinated status revoked after six months unless they go through the procedure again.

The government has already purchased millions of doses for 2022 and 2023. It began with a two-dose vaccine and then the third booster shot was introduced. Now many are taking a fourth, and a fifth could become available soon. How many shots are people willing to take before the majority stops complying?
