Sunday Talks, G20 Joint Agreement Doesn’t Condemn Russia, and Secretary Blinken Flinches: “Where lines are going to be drawn is going to be up to Ukrainians”…


Posted originally on the CTH on September 10, 2023 | Sundance 

With the BRICS alliance expanding, seven members of the previously existing G20 trade group are now members of the BRICS group.  The influence of the G20 is diminishing and the BRICS group is gaining strength.  This is the context for the modern era geopolitical dynamic that is taking place.

The G20 is ideologically anchored by the U.S. and EU as part of the western alliance.  However, the BRICS group have started to cleave away from the “western worldview” specifically on the issue of energy development.  We have talked about this dynamic quite a bit.

As a result of the increased influence of the BRICS group, specifically as an outcome of the U.S, EU and Australian weakening as a result of fundamentally changing their energy use at the altar of climate change, the western alliance is losing economic strength, and the BRICS team are gaining strength.  The addition of Saudi Arabia to the BRICS team has boosted the BRICS control of traditional energy products.

The global shift in power is happening very fast as the climate change agenda is pushed by the U.S, EU and Canada.  Issues that impact the G20 are no longer unilaterally controlled by a singular worldview.  Now inside the G20 there are competing interests as a global realignment takes shape.

Within this dynamic, the attendees of the G20 summit were unable to construct a joint declaration that condemns Russia’s activity in Ukraine.  Instead, the group had to modify their language to get all of the G20 nations, including Russia, to agree to the statement.   China, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and Argentina are in alignment with the worldview of Russia.  Although the Russia allies dislike the hostilities, there is a general understanding that Russia was being threatened by the U.S. pushing NATO expansion.  Actions have consequences, and the leadership of the BRICS+ group align sympathetically with the justification that Russia presented.

Into this mix of disparate interests, the G20 summit in India was held, and for the first time the Western Alliance within the G20 seemed to recognize things had fundamentally changed.   This was the first time the G20 group was together since Russia, China, Saudi Arabia, South Africa and several other nations began talking to each other about a new economic landscape built on the global energy cleaving.

This also represented the first time Joe Biden and Secretary of State Anthony Blinken were able to gauge how much American influence has been changed.  The reality is starting to hit, and the reality is that America is losing power globally – yet retaining power amid a much smaller network of ideologically aligned western nations.

Using the Ukraine and Russia conflict as an example for what this new reality looks like, for the first time today US Secretary of State Anthony Blinken alluded in his remarks to ABC News that new borders were likely to be drawn in Ukraine, if/when discussions and negotiations begin between Vladimir Putin and Volodymyr Zelensky.

WATCH the moment at 3:36, …”where exactly this [conflict] settles, where lines are going to be drawn, that is going to be up to Ukrainians.”

THAT, is a major shift in the position of the Biden administration.

Anthony Blinken Travels to Ukraine to Announce U.S. Taxpayers Will Provide Another $1 Billion in Military Aid, Plus $520 Million for Clean Energy Initiative


Posted originally on the CTH on September 6, 2023 | Sundance 

This is beyond ludicrous now.  Secretary of State Anthony Blinken travelled to Ukraine to promote the U.S. commitment to our proxy EU country, and their perpetual money laundering operation.

In addition to announcing another $1 Billion in military and police funding, Blinken also announced that U.S. taxpayers would provide $520 million in funds for the Ukraine Green New Deal initiative to redevelop clean energy sources.   Blackrock and Vanguard are smiling large tonight, knowing that Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken are pumping profit funds directly into their subsidiary companies who will do the work.  This is madness.

As Expected, Ukraine Removes Defense Minister After Corruption Probe – Next Up in Rotation, Another Corrupt Defense Minister


Posted originally on the CTH on September 3, 2023 | Sundance 

As we noted last week, this was very likely going to happen. Oleksiy Reznikov (pictured below left) has been removed.

A corrupt minister is caught stealing and skimming money for his/her own benefit. The corrupt minister is fired and replaced with another corrupt minister, and then the clock starts ticking until the replacement makes a mistake and gets caught doing the same thing as his predecessor.

The corrupt activity in Kyiv is identical to the corrupt activity in Washington DC, because it is created by the same corrupt process. Wash – Rinse – Repeat.

(Via Politico) – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced late Sunday that he will replace the country’s defense minister, even as Kyiv’s counteroffensive appears to be gaining ground with its troops pushing into Russian-held territory. [😂]

The departure of Oleksiy Reznikov as defense chief marks the highest-level turnover in Zelenskyy’s inner circle since the start of the war in February 2022. It comes as the Ukrainian government is stepping up efforts to deal aggressively with corruption allegations involving military officials.

In a video message Sunday night, the Ukrainian leader announced that Reznikov would be replaced as defense minister by Rustem Umerov, the head of the country’s State Property Fund.

“Reznikov has gone through more than 550 days of full-scale war,” Zelenskyy said. “I believe the ministry now needs new approaches and other formats of interaction with both the military and society as a whole.”

There have been rumblings for weeks that Rezniko’s days were numbered. His reputation took several hits earlier this year over a handful of wartime scandals in the Defense Ministry in which officials were accused of profiteering. While Reznikov was never implicated, the revelations were a black eye not only for his ministry, but for him personally.

Zelenskyy called on the country’s parliament to approve the decision as soon as possible. (read more)

Ukraine Defense Minister Likely to Be Removed, Following Corruption Probe


Posted originally on the CTH on September 2, 2023 | Sundance 

If you have watched World War Reddit, and understand the basic premise of Ukraine as a U.S. money laundering operation, then you likely understand why and how the recipient side of the $100 billion U.S. aid package is filled with graft and corruption.

Each Ukraine official who is caught using the money for their personal enrichment, is replaced by another person who engages in the same activity.  Successful anti-corruption efforts in Ukraine are futile, because everything attached to the U.S. created Ukraine government is corrupt.

A corrupt minister is caught stealing and skimming money for his/her own benefit. The corrupt minister is fired and replaced with another corrupt minister, and then the clock starts ticking until the replacement makes a mistake and gets caught doing the same thing as his predecessor.

The corrupt activity in Kyiv is identical to the corrupt activity in Washington DC, because it is created by the same corrupt process.   Wash – Rinse – Repeat.

In the latest exhibition…

[Via Zero Hedge} – […] Defense chief Oleksiy Reznikov has overseen a series of embarrassing military corruption scandals at a time Kiev is trying to tout its democratic and corruption reform credentials. He could be dismissed from the top post as early as next week and given a new role as ambassador to the United Kingdom.

But the decision is “not finalized” according to sources speaking to Kyiv Post, which names Rustem Umerov – currently head of the State Property Fund – as a likely candidate to replace Reznikov.

DM Reznikov has overseen Ukraine’s military and defense strategy since the start of the Feb. 2022 invasion, but the much-hyped counteroffensive launched at the start of the summer has been widely seen as a failure, despite tens of billions of dollars of Western aid and weaponry.

Reznikov is now front and center in an anti-graft probe, Bloomberg writes, citing local Ukrainian media:

President Volodymyr Zelenskiy’s anti-graft crackdown is fueling speculation that he may dismiss Ukraine’s defense minister following accusations of corruption linked to procuring military supplies.

The Ukrayinska Pravda newspaper, citing sources it didn’t name, said on Thursday Minister Oleksii Reznikov may be replaced as early as next week. The report followed accusations from anti-corruption activists and media that under his leadership the ministry has purchased food and uniforms at inflated prices. It also coincides with comments from a lawmaker that Reznikov may be shifted to the post of Kyiv’s ambassador to the UK.

Additionally, parliament’s People’s Deputy Yaroslav Zheleznyak, wrote in a Thursday Telegram post that “…Rustem Umerov will be nominated for the position of Minister of Defense.” 

Kyiv Post has detailed the latest scandal as follows:

The latest scandal was exposed by Ukrainian journalist Yuriy Nikolov who, citing sources at the State Customs Service of Ukraine, reported that the Ministry of Defense had acquired 233,000 winter jackets for $20 million from a Turkish firm.

Documentation from customs regarding one shipment unveiled a startling increase in cost for a batch of 4,900 jackets en route from Turkey to Ukraine.

The price had tripled, soaring from $142,000 to $421,000 (a per-unit rise from $29 to $86). Furthermore, it was revealed that the jackets, despite being marketed as winter wear, turned out to be lightweight. (link)

Ukraine Desperate to Start World War III


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Aug 31, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The Ukrainians carried out a mass attack with 20 kamikaze drones against the Pskov air base 700 km from the border with Ukraine and 30 km from Estonia. The drones hit an airport near Russia’s border with Estonia and Latvia, causing a huge blaze and damaging four Il-76 military transport planes, which can carry heavy machinery and troops, the Russian state news agency Tass reported, citing emergency officials.

The development is very serious. Either the Ukrainian attack was made through the Baltic States’ air space, which is, therefore, NATO, or, as some believe, they were fired from Estonia, pointing the finger at Ukraine, which has not confirmed or denied the attack. Either way, this is becoming a war between NATO and Russia, which means the Neocons are working hard to achieve their Christmas give – World War III.

Even Orbán of Hungary has come out and said that the US needs to call back Trump. “That’s the only way out. Call back Trump.” He knows that the Neocons have staged a coup of the United States, and they are achieving their dream – World War III and the personal destruction of Russia.

Meanwhile, as hedge funds lose their shirt and the live savings of their clients because of their bearish bias against the dollar, never before has the dollar been used as extensively in international payments as it is today. There is even a revolt internally at the famed Goldman Sachs. Just about everyone is bashing David Solomon from the  New York Times, Wall Street Journal, New York Magazine, and The Economist.

Despite this talk of de-dollarization, the losses have been massive. The use of the euro, on the other hand, has plummeted, as SWIFT data shows. More and more serious institutions have been reaching out to us and have come to their own conclusions that the Euro is on life-support. It cannot survive while NATO ramps up war.

Russian Lives Matter


Armstrong Economics Blog/War Re-Posted Aug 29, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The most influential aspect of Black Lives Matter is its name choice. Of course, black lives matter, but the messaging behind the movement itself was pure corruption and controlled civil unrest by the left. It was seen as racist to say that ALL lives matter because the focus was only on Black Americans. Then the police tried to use the term Blue Lives Matter, fueling the animosity.  The phrase has caught on, and a Danish director has come under fire for saying “Russian lives matter.”

Lars von Trier risks cancellation after commenting on a social media post featuring Denmark’s latest donation to Ukraine of extremely lethal F-16 fighter jets. “Russian lives matter also!” he stated on the Instagram post. He said his post was for Mr. Zelensky and Mr. Putin, and not least Mrs. Frederiksen (who yesterday, like someone head over heels in love, posed in the cockpit of one of the scariest killing machines of our time, grinning from ear to ear). “Russian lives matter also! Best regards, Lars.”

Ukrainian media outlets turned the post into a story of hatred. Oleksiy Danilov, the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, even weighed in on the situation: “The choice between the executioner and the victim becomes a tragedy when the artist chooses the side of the executioner. Ukraine doesn’t live in abstraction, but in a cruel reality in which Russians are murderers. A simple piece of advice for a famous director: imagine that it is a Russian missile that is flying into his city every day, that his father or mother was killed, his grandson was taken to Russia, and that a Russian looter raped his wife before burning down his house. In this case, the abstraction of hypocritical ‘humanism’ takes on completely different features – real, not fictional life.”

This is how wars are waged as the enemy must be dehumanized. As Danilov said, the reality Ukraine wants to portray is a “cruel reality in which Russians are murderers.” So every single person, old and young, in a large country is a ruthless murderer? This is akin to how the terrorist groups in Afghanistan painted all Americans as bloodthirsty killers. It is the same story repeated throughout history – villainize the enemy and cheer his last breath. Human nature is the same wherever you go. Fact: the majority of Russians simply want peace and are not Prigozhin clones plotting on Ukraine’s downfall.

“I was just stating the obvious: that all lives in this world matter! A forgotten phrase it seems, from a time when pacifism was a virtue,” the filmmaker replied, later mentioning he had no idea the trouble his comments would cause. But sure, cheer the image of the F-16 jet designed for mass murder of fellow human beings.

Ukraine to Bribe Whistleblowers


Armstrong Economics Blog/Corruption Re-Posted Aug 24, 2023 by Martin Armstron

The corruption is so widespread in Ukraine that the government is offering whistleblowers payment for reporting any fraud. The National Agency of Corruption Prevention has created a digital portal for Ukrainians to report any suspected corruption to receive a reward. Tell-tales may receive 10% of the bounty up to 14 million hryvnias ($380,000).

A recent poll found that nearly 80% of Ukrainians admitted Zelensky is responsible for ongoing corruption. The same survey found that 89% of the population believes corruption is the #2 problem facing the nation, with Russia being #1. A second poll by the Ilko Kucheriv Democratic Initiatives Foundation found that 77.6% of Ukrainians believe Zelensky is “directly responsible” for ongoing corruption. Nobody in Ukraine thinks Zelensky is a good guy despite the Western media praising him as a fearless, noble leader. This is why they skipped over the most recent election because the people do not want Zelensky, who was installed by the West, to remain in power.

Zelensky laid off his recruitment officials after finding out they were accepting $10,000 bribes. His administration tracked down men who paid a fee to avoid the draft. “This system should be run by people who know exactly what war is and why cynicism and bribery during war is high treason,” Zelensky ironically stated.

This new program will cause internal strife as neighbors begin to fear one another. Everyone recalls the tactics of the old Soviet Union where citizens were made to believe that their loyalty should reside in the government over their neighbors, friends, and family. We see the same thing in North Korea today and in many other nations. Even the US has a kickback for those who report corruption. I suppose this is the system Joe Biden used when he received his 10% for the Big Guy through Hunter’s dealings. This will not prevent corruption, but rather it will encourage the people to accuse their neighbors of being criminals for a government bribe. Is someone reporting Zelensky through this portal for funneling billions into Ukraine for a war that was planned out nearly 10 years ago?

Zelensky the War Criminal


Armstrong Economics Blog/Ukraine Re-Posted Aug 18, 2023 by Martin Armstrong

The international age limitation on military drafts is generally 18 years or older. Canada and Australia put it at 17 years old. Zelensky has imposed two decrees which prohibit the departure of teenagers aged 16-17 from the country, effectively turning Ukraine into a prison camp. Over 8 million Ukrainians have fled from this tyrant. He has burned through the adults in his army. Instead of entertaining any idea of peace or just allowing the Donbas to vote peacefully as he pretends to defend Democracy, Zelensky has turned to mobilizing the children so he does not have to admit he is wrong. Zelensky is in good company. Time Magazine also named Hitler and Stalin, twice in 1940 & 1943, all Men of the Year.

With a second decree, Zelensky tightened the conscription policy and not just drafted children under 18 but also disregarded whether they were fit or not for military service. On Zelensky’s orders, he is now taking children by force. He refuses to consider the population of Ukraine but prefers to only talk about how great it will be for investors to buy Ukraine since he is killing off the population. He refuses to negotiate and seems to be intentionally turning the people against him personally.

There are many Ukrainians who are starting to see the light that their enemy is Zelensky – not Putin. The day before the invasion, he told the press that Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons. That was the final straw; Putin even said that in his speech to the nation as the reason to invade, the same as the US concern over Cuba back in 1962.

Even the pro-Ukraine Washington Post, which would love World War III to sell more papers, reported that Zelensky knew when Russia would invade and did not warn his people because of money. “If we had communicated that … then I would have been losing $7 billion a month since last October, and at the moment when the Russians did attack, they would have taken us in three days,” Zelensky said.

If Zelensky is assassinated, the West will blame Russia. There is far more incentive to kill this high-heel pretend head of state from inside the ranks of Ukraine for destroying their country, all on the orders of the Neocons for a strip of land that has been the home of Russians for hundreds of years. Russia did NOT invade Ukraine; it came to support the Donbas, which was supposed to have a democratic right to vote on their separation under the Minsk Agreement. Why should China, Russia, or any country trust the EU and the United States ever again when they do not honor agreements?

The lies are just over the top. Ukraine was free. Just honor the Minsk Agreement; the Ukrainians had their first country in history. But no! Zelensky is lining his pockets while pretending he was fighting for freedom and demonocracy when that was secured under the Minsk Agreement. This is going down in history alongside the weapon of mass destruction. The Neocons also bullshitted the world for another one of their endless wars they never win. These people are the real war criminals. They start wars all for their deranged view of hatred.

Zelensky has done nothing but try to drag the entire world into his war against Russia. And for what? A territorial grab where Ukrainian have never lived? Any politician who supports Ukraine and this deliberate attempt to create World War III should be barred from ever holding any public office, including a dog catcher or a sanitation worker cleaning toilets.

He wants to kill off our American children now so he can create the biggest investment project with Blackrock – real blood money. Personally, I would not advise anyone who puts money in Blackrock. They should take a gun, go to Ukraine, and fight like they want everyone else to do so they can make their subsequent big profit over the blood of our children. Pure evil scum! I would not invest with any firm looking to do business in Ukraine.

Biden Needs $24 Billion More for Ukraine


From Armstrong Economics Aug 14, 2023

The blank checks are never-ending. I speak of the economic impact Biden has had on our country daily. This war in Ukraine has simply been the largest money grab in recent history rivaling COVID. Biden is asking for another $24 billion in aid to Ukraine. At this point, it is nearly comical because most of us realize that Ukraine is going to ask for aid indefinitely, and our politicians willfully comply because that’s in their best interests as well. They’re going to keep the war and money wheel going. Everyone but the people are enjoying the spoils of needless war. No details on where the money will be spent and why our politicians are prioritizing foreign aid over domestic.

Weeks ago, the Pentagon reported that they lost $600 billion in aid to Ukraine over an accounting error. Every supposed check and balance is letting that slide because Biden and the Neocons have become unstoppable. House Republicans say they will not vote for more aid, but there are Neocons who WANT WAR on both sides.

Absolutely no one with a sane mind is voting to send their money to fight “Russian aggression.” Times are not what they used to be and we do not have a common enemy. We have never had a common enemy. US politicians are ignoring the $31.4 trillion in debt that they cannot pay off. Postponing the debt ceiling debate was one of the main reasons US debt was downgraded.

Not everyone living in Ukraine is in squalor. There is a reason all top officials casually travel there like the airport is JFK. This entire scheme of Ukraine is going to cause an uprising.
