This is the opening monologue from Fox News host Tucker Carlson that triggered a reaction from the U.S. State Department.
Last week it was a conspiracy theory to discuss biological weapons/research labs in Ukraine. However, what was a conspiracy theory last week, is an admitted situation as of yesterday. Tucker takes a closer look at the issue. {Direct Rumble Link} WATCH:
While Fox News host Tucker Carlson was highlighting the issue of confirmed chemical and biological research facilities in Ukraine, funded with U.S. money, the State Dept released this statement via Twitter:
We can say the statement above is accurate.
How do we know?… Because the statement hinges on the word “have.”
It is true that I own and operate a car. However, it is also true that I do not currently “have” my car in my possession.
Pentagon Spokesperson John Kirby held a press briefing today (full video below) to underscore the U.S. military does not support the sending of any NATO planes into Ukraine. “The intelligence community has assessed that the transfer of MiG-29s to Ukraine may be mistaken as escalatory and could result in significant Russian reaction that might increase the prospects of a military escalation with NATO,” Kirby said. “Therefore, we also assess that the transfer of MiG-29s to Ukraine to be high risk,” he continued.
Now ask yourself this question:
This is the question that no U.S. media will touch, because the answer is almost too jaw-dropping to contemplate. However, this answer must be outlined in order to fully grasp what took place.
The events of the past 96 hours, on this issue, are perhaps the most critical moments in modern U.S. history, that must be fully understood to fathom what has just happened and what dangers exist from within the current White House administration.
When we were discussing the Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco, we noted two competing factions within the U.S. national security apparatus. One group is the Pentagon, the other is a completely rogue operation coming from the State Department. In the Afghanistan example, the issues surfaced within the blame casting for the crisis upon exit. In this current example, things are far more serious.
Last weekend, the US Department of State, Secretary Anthony Blinken, made the unilateral claim that Poland -a NATO ally- was approved by the State Department to send fighter jets into Ukraine. Blinken was located in Moldova when he made the statement to three U.S. media outlets. Poland was caught completely off guard by Blinken’s statements, and only learned about them from the media reporting.
Hours later, western media, desperately pushing the pro-Ukraine defense position, began asking the Polish government for details of what Secretary Blinken had stated. The Sunday afternoon reply from Poland was to call these media reports “fake news,” further stating they had no intention of sending their MiG-29 fighter jets into Ukraine territory.
It became stunningly clear that Secretary Blinken had never discussed the issue with Poland before making his statement. Obviously, given the nature of the statement from the Pentagon yesterday and affirmed again today by spokesperson John Kirby, Secretary Blinken also did not discuss his position on the transfer of Polish (NATO) jets with the Pentagon.
Now pause for a moment and accept what is evident. The US Secretary of State, seeking to leverage the public pressure of a global community aligned in favorability toward the Ukrainian people, unilaterally made a national security policy decision that would trigger an escalated NATO conflict with Russia.
The U.S. State Department was willing, intentionally and willfully willing, to set up a scenario that would draw the United States into war with Russia, and Secretary Blinken intended to trigger this “escalation” by pushing Poland into a corner of compliance – without ever discussing it with them.
By the time Blinken traveled to Poland (Monday), he was greeted and told the transfer of fighter jets he proposed and advocated for publicly was not something the Polish government would ever contemplate.
Now pause and put yourself in the position of Poland for a moment.
Obviously, this would be a ‘what the f**k‘ moment for them.
Poland was facing the three-headed Cerberus. One head is where they are reliant upon the U.S. for military assistance as part of their alignment within NATO. The second head is where Poland is not going to be the mechanism that starts a war. And the final head is the risk of Russia attacking them if Poland was to acquiesce to the unilateral Blinken proposal, which has been framed by Blinken as the position of Poland – which it never was.
Poland said no to Blinken and then shut up.
Poland apparently expected that Blinken would clean up this mess, and they were simultaneously providing him the diplomatic opportunity to do so. However, by that time on Monday, allied government and western media were in a ‘save Ukraine‘ frenzy.
Suddenly there are international leaders saying they supported the position of Poland to send the jets.
Sean Hannity, Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, and the CNN’s of the world were all talking about this inbound support for Ukraine that would save the day and stop the babies from being slaughtered in the streets by the horrible Putin.
But the problem was Poland never had anything, not one thing, to do with the Blinken plan; they never did.
Secretary Blinken made no effort to extract Poland from the situation he created for them; in fact, he did the opposite. Blinken stayed quiet while western government officials and media kept making inquiries of Poland Tuesday and Wednesday.
Eventually Poland had to extricate themselves from this box Secretary Blinken had built around them.
On Wednesday night, doing exactly the same thing Blinken did to them by not informing the U.S prior to their statement, Poland said they would send the jets to Ramstein AFB in Germany but would not send them to Ukraine. Essentially, if Blinken wanted to use these jets to create his war with Russia, well, here they are – go for it.
Poland was calling Blinken’s bluff.
The U.S. Pentagon could not support the position Secretary Blinken put them in to, and immediately released a statement saying the proposal by Poland was “not tenable.” The bizarre nature of the situation left everyone confused.
According to the United States government, per Anthony Blinken, sending planes from NATO base Poland was good. However, according to the same United States government, sending planes from NATO base Germany was bad. See the dichotomy?
This dueling scenario was not, and is not, a fracture within NATO. What surfaced in the insanity is a fracture within the United States government as an outcome of a rogue U.S. State Department led by Secretary Anthony Blinken.
This rogue U.S. State Department now represents a key reference point, but the U.S. media will not discuss it. This is another example of how the Fourth Branch of Government, a completely independent national security system, is operating.
A strong previous example is evident in the U.S. response to Libya, when Secretary of State Hillary Clinton wanted war with Kaddaffi, but President Obama was not originally in agreement. Clinton sought help from French President Nicolas Sarkozy because President Obama was not on board.
At the beginning of Hillary’s Libya operation, Joint Chiefs Admiral McMullin and Defense Secretary Robert Gates were not on board with Hillary’s intervention plans, nor was Turkish President Recep Erdogan. Secretary Clinton worked around the refusals by unilaterally going to the United Nations and NATO Supreme Commander General Stravridis. Eventually, Clinton, Susan Rice and Samantha Power created enough international momentum to force President Obama to intervene in Libya. The rest is history.
The point to emphasize is how the U.S. State Department views itself as a unilateral government entity, permitted to conduct independent foreign policy operations regardless of U.S. interests. This institutional mindset is the reference point for Secretary Blinken sitting in a chair in Moldova on Sunday and making strategic policy decisions without any discussion with Poland, NATO or anyone else.
Do not let this behavior of Secretary Blinken just fall away from your frame of reference without giving it the appropriate weight it deserves. This is a very dangerous situation.
If Secretary Blinken been successful with his intended plan, we were about to enter a hot war with Russia and no one would realize how exactly it started.
Here’s the presser: Pentagon press secretary John Kirby on Wednesday discussed why the U.S. rejected Poland’s offer to send fighter jets to a U.S. airbase in Germany with the intention that they would be transferred to Ukraine’s military. Among other reasons, Kirby said transferring MiG-29 jets to Ukraine, “may be mistaken as being escalatory and could result in significant Russian reaction.”
First things first, there is no need for panic, and it is important to remember the United States is a net food exporter. The U.S. is blessed with a food production and capacity industry that leads the world. We have fertile land, abundant harvests and the strong advantage of food independence.
That said, the influence of multinational corporations in our agriculture industry over the past three decades has ramifications, and we have outlined exhaustively, on these pages, what the real-world consequences are. As we head into a chapter of global food crisis, the food production capacity of the United States can be viewed as an asset, but only insofar as we are willing to secure a national food supply for our own America-First interests.
What we have talked about prudently on these pages is now coming into greater focus, as global leaders are beginning to prepare their own citizens for the long-term consequences of their disruption to the food supply chain.
The meteor of government intervention hit the ocean back in the spring of 2020, when government intervened in the food supply process, the tsunami -the ripple effect from that intervention- is now within sight of shore.
I’m not going to repeat the history here. CTH readers already know the details {Go Deep} – for everyone else, use the site search function. As a result of intervention, global COVID intervention, food stocks were depleted. Combined with increased energy costs, driven by the ideological chase for climate change under the guise of ‘Build Back Better,’ we end up with higher fertilizer costs for this year.
The ripple effect becomes a tsunami, and the next round of global food harvests becomes more critically important and simultaneously more expensive. For the past three months, the sound of the alarms have grown louder. Now, people are really starting to pay attention.
(Food Supply Chain) […] Commodity markets are soaring — wheat is up about 50% in two weeks and corn just touched a decade high. The surging costs could end up weighing on currencies in emerging markets, where food represents a bigger share of consumer-price baskets. And analysts are predicting export flows will continue to be disrupted for months even if the war were to end tomorrow.
The crisis extends beyond just the impact of grain exports (critical as they are). Russia is also a key supplier for fertilizers. Virtually every major crop in the world depends on inputs like potash and nitrogen, and without a steady stream, farmers will have a harder time growing everything from coffee to rice and soybeans.
Plainly speaking, there are few other places on the planet where a conflict like this could create such a devastating blow to ensuring that food supplies stay plentiful and affordable. It’s why Russia and Ukraine are known as the breadbaskets to the world. (read more)
There is some alarmism in that last cited paragraph. Russia and Ukraine are not “breadbaskets to the world“; they are breadbaskets to Europe, parts of the middle east and parts of Asia (in the northern hemisphere). It is more accurate to say Russia and Ukraine are to Europe what the United States is to North America.
Canada and Mexico could survive without the U.S. farmland, but they would have to modify quickly. Europe, the U.K and Scandinavia can survive without Russia/Ukraine, but they too would need to modify quickly.
Analogously, Central America would be less impacted by U.S. harvest disruptions than eastern Asia, the destination for most of our agricultural exports. The beneficiaries of Ukraine/Russia harvests in Southern Europe and the Middle East are more vulnerable than the beneficiaries in the U.K and northern Europe.
The issue for us, in the United States, is going to be increased global demand for agricultural food products from us to fill any void created by the Ukraine Russia conflict.
This demand side issue is made more complicated by multinational ownership of our farm outputs (Big Ag). Corporate ownership of U.S. food products *could become* an issue if we have external geopolitical influences upon the U.S food supply.
The United States government has never had to view food supplies as a national security threat. However, because supply has never been an issue, and because the multinational ownership rose up during a time frame when supply was never an issue, there is no reference point for how (or even if) the U.S. government will react if domestic food outputs are distributed away from American citizens by corporations chasing the highest financial return.
Think about it.
NOTE: Wheat, corn and soybeans are the foundation of the U.S. food supply. They are primarily used as ingredients in processed foods, oils, and are fed to the cattle, hogs, and poultry that supply meat and eggs for the American diet. When those grain harvests go up in price, the downstream increase in price is far reaching.
Remember, there is no such thing as a “commodity” market in the free market sense of the word. Those commodity markets are now “controlled markets“, and fully under the control of massive multinational agricultural corporations.
It is critical to think of BIG AG in the same way we already are familiar with multinational manufacturing of durable goods.
We are already familiar how China, Mexico and ASEAN nations export our raw materials (ore, coking coal, rare earth minerals etc.). The raw materials to manufacture goods are then trans-shipped back into the U.S. for purchase.
It is within this decades-long process where we lost the manufacturing base, and the multinational economic planners (World Trade Organization) put us on a path to being a “service driven” economy.
The road to a “service-driven economy” is paved with a great disparity between financial classes. The wealth gap is directly related to the inability of the middle class to thrive.
Elite financial interests, including those within Washington DC, gain wealth and power, while the U.S. workforce is reduced to servitude, “service”, of their affluent needs. The destruction of the U.S. industrial and manufacturing base is EXACTLY WHY the wealth gap has exploded in the past 30 years.
With that familiarity, did you think the multinationals would stop with only “DURABLE GOODS”?
They don’t.
They didn’t.
The exact same exfiltration and exploitation has been happening, with increased speed, over the past 20 years with “CONSUMABLE GOODS“, i.e. food.
Raw material foodstuff is exported to China, ASEAN nations and Mexico, processed and shipped back into the U.S. as a finished product. This is the same design-flow with food as previously exploited by other economic sectors, including auto manufacturing.
Multinational corporations, BIG AG, are now invested in controlling the outputs of U.S. agricultural industry and farmers. This overall process is why food prices were rising so fast in the past decade. Government COVID intervention in the food supply chain made these pricing issues worse. Government energy policy under the guise of Build Back Better is pouring fuel into the inflationary furnace.
The free market was not determining price before COVID; there was no “supply and demand” influence in the modern agricultural dynamic. Food commodities have been a controlled market just like durable goods. The raw material (harvests writ large) was exploited by the financial interests of massive multinational corporations.
All of these dynamics created the meteor which quietly hit the ocean when no one noticed.
Now the tsunami warning sirens are sounding and people are starting to wonder why…
Putin was deeply involved in securing the Minsk Agreement long before Zelensky came to power. Although people are calling the current attack on Ukraine unprovoked, Putin attempted to achieve some diplomatic relations with Ukraine regarding the Donbas region and Russian-speaking Ukrainians years ago. Above is a conference in Normandy with Macron, Merkel, Zelensky, and Putin. He directly states that any revision to the Minsk Agreement would “create a situation where nothing can be done.”
Putin also points out to Zelensky that 38% of Ukrainian citizens speak Russian. “I would like to point out that 38 percent of Ukrainian citizens regard themselves as Russian speakers. However, all of the so-called Russian schools will convert to the Ukrainian language starting next year. By the way, as far as I know, the other [national minority] schools – Hungarian, Romanian and Polish – are to start the process in 2023. As if there are more Hungarian speakers than Russian speakers in Ukraine. You must admit that this raises questions to which we have no answers.” Putin admitted to Zelensky that he felt his policies were directly targeting Russians in Ukraine. This has been a topic that Putin has discussed countless times over the years. While the media portrays Putin as a madman for wanting to “liberate” Ukraine, his line of thinking has been public knowledge for a long time and may even be masked behind ill-judged good intentions.
Zelensky now cries that Putin refuses any diplomatic discussions years after the conversation should have begun. Zelensky declined to meet Putin halfway on any negotiations. He had the unofficial backing of the West as they also wanted to punish Russia and prevent it from becoming a major player on the world stage. No one took Putin or his concerns seriously. The attack on Ukraine is Putin’s response to feeling backed into a corner by Zelensky and his Western “allies.”
Putin’s full quote on the matter: “Mr. Zelensky and I have different positions on this issue. Our position is very simple: we stand for the implementation of the Minsk Agreements. The Minsk Agreements say – you can read it for yourself – that Ukraine will be able to start restoring control over that territory, over that section of the border on day one after the local elections. This is what it says. And this process should end after the completion of a comprehensive political settlement. This is what the text of the agreement says. Why should the Minsk Agreements be reopened and revised? All the measures set out in that package are interconnected. If we revise one of them, this will lead to the revision of others and we will lose the agreements and create a situation where nothing can be done. This is our logic, and I believe that it is justified.”
Stolichnaya vodka plans to rebrand their product to sound less Russian. This comes on the tail of restaurants, businesses, and bars refusing to sell any product with Russian branding, regardless of the origin. Stolichnaya, which will now be referred to as Stoli, is manufactured primarily in Latvia.
Yuri Shefler, one of the dreaded Russian oligarchs, purchased the Stoli brand in 1997 for $285,000 from a Russian state-owned company. However, Russia’s Supreme Court declared that the sale was illegal. Shefler, a Russian Jew, was prohibited from selling his vodka in Russia. He was accused of misappropriation, Putin deemed him a threat, and Shefler was exiled from Russia in 2000.
Less than 1% of vodka consumed in the US is made in Russia. I am not sure why people believe that boycotting Russian vodka will cause the slightest dent in Russia’s GDP. Putin does not care if you pour vodka down the drain, boycott Russian sports, or decorate buildings in blue and yellow. Instead of coming off as an anti-Putin act of defiance, there seems to be some direct anti-Russian sentiments coming out of these misguided acts.
It is so refreshing to listen to a REAL journalist for once – something was seriously forgotten in America and Europe. Arnab Goswami is an Indian news anchor and journalist, who is the managing director and editor-in-chief of Republic Media Network. He is calling this as it is – a Western creation of WAR against Russia for political purposes. The US and Britain are telling India to join their fight against Russia, which will be to their own demise.
Meanwhile, Poland is putting itself in the line of fire jeopardizing its population inviting Russia to attack it as a ploy to bring in NATO. The Polish authorities announced their readiness to transfer MIG-29 aircraft to the Rammstein base and asked the US to provide “used aircraft with similar operational capabilities”. Poland said ready to immediately agree on the terms of the purchase of these machines. This would put Poland in the direct line of fire just as the Lusitania was used to get the US into WWI.
Unfortunately, governments look upon us as worker bees. They could care less about us and we are so stupid we really think governments are there to protect us when it is always them against us. Just read Thomas Paine’s opening paragraph. Nothing has changed since 1776. They are trying to wage an all-out war against Russia and are mustering forces but the only defense will then be nuclear.
COMMENT: Nothing Putin ever says is true. You are on the wrong side.
SF
ANSWER: I understand you are all caught up in the heat of the moment. But just stop. Think clearly and stop making presumptions. Putin’s speech at Davos was excellent but nobody will listen. He was correct. We MUST stop judging countries by problems of previous governments. Otherwise, we should still look at Britain as an enemy. He actually hit the nail on the head. NATO would not exist unless they retain Russia as an enemy. Putin even proposed to join NATO with the Clintons and they said no way.
He has said the US was developing biological weapons in Ukraine on its borders and Nuland has indeed confirmed that. China has made the same allegation that the US has been developing biological weapons on its border. The West does not always tell the truth either. You need to keep an open mind, stop being psychologically manipulated, and look at the issues face value without a predetermined outcome.
If we do not do this, the hotheads will bring rain down upon us all with nuclear weapons for someone will push the button if they are about to lose. We need a peace maker – not a warmonger.
I warned ion the private blog that cryptocurrencies may end up being suspended. The excuse will be Russia and the news is out now that Biden will sign an Executive Order to regulate cryptos because Russia can use it to circumvent sanctions. Not only is Biden authorizing the regulation of digital currencies, but he is also instructing to move forward with a central bank cryptocurrency. Once that is done, all other cryptocurrencies will be seized and folded into the government’s crypto. There will be no competition. Money historically has also been the Divine Privilege of Kings and Tyrants.
Biden is now proposing to ban all Russian Energy sales to the West. Prices will rise sharply still and Biden is blaming Putin claiming this is the “price of freedom” for Ukraine which is all BS so governments can avoid responsibility for the collapse in the supply chain thanks to COVID and their shutting down fossil fuels for Climate Change.
Now it is time to blame Putin for the continued rise in gasoline which is their agenda to save the planet. Their clock in NYC that they were telling the world we had only 7 years left if we did not ban fossil fuels is being accomplished under the pretense of “freedom” for Ukraine.
Macron desperately needs this war to fulfill his agenda and role in the grand scheme. Macron has been arguing for a European Army and they need this war to justify not NATO, but a new EU Army that is not bound by NATO rules and treaties. The EU Commission has been working on its proposal to establish a joint budget for the Eurozone since 2017, which is the endgame of federalization. The aim was to cement the monetary union in place and thereby prevent any more BREXIT nonsense from their view. Now they are pushing to issue an EU Bond and they are now using this war with Russia as a power grab to federalize Europe.
We now have private companies throwing Russians out in every possible context. The Russians have replaced the Jews of Germany. They are now regarded as swine and nobody should do any business with them whatsoever. This war is part of the Great Reset. They can no longer fund the governments and Keynesian Economics has collapsed. This is all part of the agenda and it is being carried out in sequence.
Just like Project Northwoods that President Kennedy rejected, they proposed killing Americans and then blaming it on Cuba to justify an invasion. They will now carry out a cyberattack and blame Russia. Putin offered peace terms that were reasonable. Let the two provinces become independent as they sought since the 2014 revolution, and relinquish any claims to Crimea. Zelensky takes his orders from the West and flatly rejected any proposal. Now Zelensky claims he is open to discussions. If he does not agree insisting that the only thing acceptable is total withdrawal by Russia which he knows is impossible, then this is a warning he is taking his orders from the West – not his people. This war is desperately needed to federalize Europe, default on national debts that can no longer be serviced, and end fossil fuels for the Climate Change zealots. Will they create a false flag and claim Russia violates whatever agreement if it can be made?
The Ukrainian people are pawns in this political game for the Great Reset and the dream of a one-world government. They have made it very public. The US will no longer be a superpower, and democracy will be terminated. Already, the EU is the model. The head of state nor the European Commission stand for election – ever. Trudeau in Canada has even publicly committed Canada to Schwab’s Agenda 2030.
These sanctions and private aggression toward anything connected to Russia will drastically implode the World Economy. There are Russian private citizens who own gas stations who are being targeted. NJ Governor wants to shut down Lukoil gas stations. This is no different from the discrimination against blacks or the Jews. But it is now all perfectly OK – obedience to authority!
This is all shaping up as intentional. The same agenda I have warned about that, especially Europe can no longer fund its government because of perpetual negative interest rates. I have reported that the top US banks were not accepting European sovereign debt as collateral. The crisis of ver debt in Europe began with the REPO Crisis in August 2019 when US banks would not lend overnight to European banks. That spread to the Sovereign Debt.
This war is being deliberately orchestrated. There is nobody interested in calming the situation. Every excuse to raise the Iron Financial Curtain is being carried out. The sanctions imposed on Russia for Crimea are still in place. Once sanctions are imposed, they will NEVER be removed. China is now moving full-steam-ahead to replace SWIFT, which stood tall when Obama wanted to remove Russia and they refused to allow SWIFT to be used for politics. Now SWIFT has lost all integrity and the price we are witnessing is the collapse of the world economy.
The US and Europe will become isolated and the world is being torn in half. This is what our computer has been forecasting for post-2032. Our computer has never been wrong on its major forecasts for it is NOT biased like human analysts. Some are reporting that Russian businesses in Germany are being attacked with windows smashed. Instead of the Jews, this time it will be Russians.
This forecast was made back in 1985. We reported that 2016 would be the first time a non-politicians would win and that turned out to be Trump precisely to the day of the Pi target. From 2020 we would see a commodity boon on shortages, rise in civil unrest, the disease cycle, and our war cycle were all coming together. We also warned that post-2032, China would emerge as the new Financial Capital of the World. These forecasts were not personal opinions. NOBODY can make correct forecasts for so many years based upon personal opinion. Anyone who claims to be so lucky is making that up.
The government wanted our models when they saw they were even forecasting the rise and fall of governments. We forecast the fall of Russia in 1998 which led to the collapse of Long-Term Capital Management and the first bailout by the Federal Reserve. (Watch interview on Highwire)
For all of those who said Bitcoin replaced gold and the dollar, if they didn’t bother to look at a chart, it has been declining since last November when this plot to create a war was hatched.
