Russian President Putin Recognizes Donetsk and Luhansk as Independent Breakaway Territories of Ukraine – Biden Fires Back by Sanctioning the People Living in Donetsk and Luhansk

As the White House continues to escalate tensions in/around Ukraine, in order to create the self-fulfilling prophecy of Joe Biden as the magnanimous savior of all things Ukrainian, Russian President Vladimir Putin now starts positioning his own leverage against the western geopolitical narrative.

Delivering a national address today, Russian President Putin announced Russia would recognize the eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk as independent breakaway territories. “I deem it necessary to make a decision that should have been made a long time ago — to immediately recognize the independence and sovereignty of the Donetsk People’s Republic and Luhansk People’s Republic,” Putin said in his televised address.

Immediately following Putin’s remarks, the Joe Biden administration began organizing other allied governments to condemn Putin’s decision as a flagrant violation of the Minsk peace accords.  The prior agreement of ‘limited political autonomy‘ paused a nearly eight-year-long regional fight in the Donbass region of eastern Ukraine.  The people within the Donetsk and Luhansk regions of eastern Ukraine are favorable to Russia, supportive of Russia and do not align with the official government of Ukraine.

European leaders and the U.K. then vowed to trigger additional sanctions against Russia for Putin’s decision to support Donetsk and Luhansk as independent regions within Ukraine.  However, the EU/UK did not outline what sanctions would be triggered, in part because the EU still wants to purchase energy from Russia, and in part because, well, meaningless prose is always the way the EU works.

This is, after all, a geopolitical exhibition of political theatre, you’ll see how below.

Following Putin’s remarks, the Kremlin also released a statement repeating their claims of western Ukraine military aggression that the government of Ukraine have repeatedly denied. The White House then released a statement saying Joe Biden called Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy

WHITE HOUSE – President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke today with President Volodymyr Zelenskyy of Ukraine to reaffirm the commitment of the United States to Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. President Biden strongly condemned Russian President Putin’s decision to purportedly recognize the “independence” of the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine.

He updated President Zelenskyy on the United States’ response, including our plan to issue sanctions. President Biden reiterated that the United States would respond swiftly and decisively, in lock-step with its Allies and partners, to further Russian aggression against Ukraine. (more

The White House then tells us that Biden called French weasel Macron, who has been working as a narrative engineer on behalf of the people who control Joe Biden.  Nothing happened, no actual sanctions were discussed, they just talked again and agreed to keep talking about what they have been discussing in their talks:

WHITE HOUSE – President Joseph R. Biden, Jr. spoke with President Emmanuel Macron of France and Chancellor Olaf Scholz of Germany today about Russia’s ongoing escalation along the borders of Ukraine. The leaders strongly condemned President Putin’s decision to recognize the so-called DNR and LNR regions of Ukraine as “independent.” They discussed how they will continue to coordinate their response on next steps. (read more)

The White House then stomped their feet and turned a glaring stare toward the people in Eastern Ukraine who are favorable to Russia.

Instead of punishing Russia or issuing sanctions against Russia, Joe Biden signed an executive order [READ HERE] that targets the people who live in the eastern Ukraine regions of Donetsk and Luhansk.  Anyone from inside this DNR/LNR region of Ukraine is now blocked from any access to the U.S. financial system, banned from travel to the United States, and all U.S. assets and property of Ukrainian citizens in the disputed region are now frozen.

If you live in Eastern Ukraine and you do not align with the interests of Western Ukraine, Europe, NATO and the United States you are now being punished.  The intent seems to be to make the Eastern Ukrainians suffer for supporting their independence.  So much for that freedom thing.

The Executive Order outlines the punishment:

[…] “For those persons whose property and interests in property are blocked pursuant to this order who might have a constitutional presence in the United States, I find that because of the ability to transfer funds or other assets instantaneously, prior notice to such persons of measures to be taken pursuant to this order would render those measures ineffectual.  I therefore determine that for these measures to be effective in addressing the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, expanded in Executive Orders 13661 and 13662, and further expanded by this order, there need be no prior notice of a listing or determination made pursuant to section 2 of this order. (LINK)

Despite the public proclamations that Russia is to blame for all the ills in the region, Biden will punish Eastern Ukraine for being Eastern Ukraine and totally ignore Russia.  Why?    Because there’s no evidence Russia has anything to do with what’s going on in Eastern Ukraine other than their support.

The silliness continues.

Prime Minister Trudeau Announces That Canadians Do Not Appreciate Him Enough, Therefore a National Emergency Should Remain


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 564 Comments

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau exhibits the classic pathological traits of an abuser, refusing to allow his victims to question his authority.  It really is quite remarkable, and we are not saying that in the figurative sense, we mean it literally.  Think of an abusing spouse who is finally confronted by his victim after their family intervenes to confront the situation.  The parallels of the dynamic are remarkable in the context of Trudeau’s effort.

During his public remarks earlier today when addressing his victims, Trudeau takes the classic abuser stance and claims outside influences have poisoned their minds and provided “misinformation and disinformation” against him and his government.  He demands that members of Parliament respond to the victim’s protests against his authority by supporting his need for more powerful tools against anyone who would challenge him.  The Canadian government must keep their victims isolated and weak.

All of Trudeau’s heavily ideological remarks are couched with passive aggressive tones and linguistics.  He claims it is not his fault the people rose up in protest to challenge his unilateral COVID mandates; however, now that they have, the government must punish them as a result of their challenge in order to restore the peace that he provides.  The remarks are classic abuser obfuscations. WATCH (prompted 2:30):

Psychologically, this is a profoundly unstable and insecure little man who is filled with fear.  This type of personality disorder needs a very small echo-chamber of sycophants to remain mentally and emotionally functional.

If individual members of his government or the stenographers in the Canadian media start to question him critically, he will collapse very quickly.

CDC Admits They are Keeping Vaccine and COVID Data Hidden Because They Worry People Will Talk About It


Posted Originally on the conservative tree house on February 21, 2022 | sundance | 343 Comments

The New York Times reports quotes from the CDC spokesperson about why the public health organization refuses to release data on COVID-19 and the vaccines. Nothing quite builds public confidence like the CDC saying they cannot release information because they are worried people will talk about it.

The CDC basically says they do not want to release the data because they are worried people will talk about the data, and not the official CDC interpretation of the data.  So, the CDC says, trust us… we’ve looked at the data… it says good things, promise.

(New York Times) […] Kristen Nordlund, a spokeswoman for the C.D.C., said the agency has been slow to release the different streams of data “because basically, at the end of the day, it’s not yet ready for prime time.” She said the agency’s “priority when gathering any data is to ensure that it’s accurate and actionable.”  Another reason is fear that the information might be misinterpreted, Ms. Nordlund said.

[…] The performance of vaccines and boosters, particularly in younger adults, is among the most glaring omissions in data the C.D.C. has made public.

[…] the C.D.C. has been routinely collecting information since the Covid vaccines were first rolled out last year, according to a federal official familiar with the effort. The agency has been reluctant to make those figures public, the official said, because they might be misinterpreted as the vaccines being ineffective.

Ms. Nordlund confirmed that as one of the reasons. Another reason, she said, is that the data represents only 10 percent of the population of the United States. But the C.D.C. has relied on the same level of sampling to track influenza for years. (read more)

If the vaccines are effective, they cannot be misinterpreted as being ineffective.  However, if the data shows the vaccines are ineffective, which at this point almost everyone admits they are, then the question becomes what were all of the mandates about?

The CDC has become yet another institution, amid a network of institutions, that has collapsed itself under the weight of pushing political ideology as the primary mission.   Entrenched ideological political bureaucrats being exposed in the system is the brilliant legacy of Donald J Trump.

The CDC joins the FDA, DHS, HHS, FBI, DOJ, DoS, Pentagon and the larger intelligence apparatus as collapsing under their institutional ideology.

We were always rightly skeptical of these institutions of government. However, now a much larger audience sees them naked and exposed.

Trudeau – Is This Your Liberal Hero?

El Salvador’s President Criticizes Canada’s Democracy


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador criticized Canada’s actions toward the Freedom Convoy and declared that Trudeau has lost all credibility. “Are these the people who like to give lessons to other countries about democracy and freedom? This is one of the top ranking countries in the ‘democracy index’? Your credibility on these topics is now worth 0,” Bukele tweeted. The president also included an excerpt from Canadian Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland’s press conference where Freeland tries to justify invoking martial law by classifying the protestors as terrorists. Canada is now claiming that freezing the accounts of protestors is a push for anti-terrorist money-laundering prevention instead of the truth — a push toward the Great Reset.

Bukele’s criticism has continued, with the president retweeting a post where someone compares Trudeau to the McDonald’s clown. In fact, he is warning numerous world leaders to stay out of their internal affairs as the country deems bitcoin legal tender, which is a topic for another post. Bukele has been widely opposed to vaccine mandates and has gone as far as to claim the Ukraine crisis is a mere distraction from the mandate opposition. “The real war is not in Ukraine, it’s in Canada, Australia, France, Brussels, England, Germany, Italy… They just want you to look the other way,” El Salvador’s president tweeted on February 13.

Trudeau’s authoritarian rulings have caused him to become an international embarrassment. His nice-guy image has been dispelled by his actions that show the true nature of his character. Other leaders’ public images are following suit. The emperor has no clothes.

The Democracy Index


Armstrong Economics Blog/Politics Re-Posted Feb 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

The Economist publishes an annual Democracy Index to rank nations based on their Democratic freedoms. The annual survey of 167 nations gauges five measures of democracy — electoral process and pluralism, the functioning of government, political participation, democratic political culture, and civil liberties. As of 2021, the survey claimed that over one-third of the global population lived under authoritarian rule, with a mere 6.4% enjoying “full democracy.”

The survey notes that “pandemic restrictions damaged democratic freedoms in 2021,” but does not take into account the full scope of what is happening in these countries. The chart ranks democracies and categorizes them from least to most restrictive — “full democracies,” “flawed democracies,” “hybrid regimes,” and “authoritarian regimes.”

Full democracy rankings in 2021:

1.Norway9.75
2.New Zealand9.37
3.Finland9.27
4.Sweden9.26
5.Iceland9.18
6.Denmark9.09
7.Ireland9.00
8.Taiwan8.99
9.Australia8.90
Switzerland
11.Netherlands8.88
12.Canada8.87
13.Uruguay8.85
14.Luxembourg8.68
15.Germany8.67
16.South Korea8.16
17.Japan8.15
18.United Kingdom8.10
19.Mauritius8.08
20.Austria8.07
Costa Rica

It is unsurprising that the United States was listed as a “restricted democracy” at #26. However, I do not believe the survey is fairly ranking countries, especially those abiding by Klaus Schwab’s agenda to destroy democracy entirely to Build Back Better. Australia, number 9 on the list, is not a full democracy by any means and belongs in the authoritarian category. They built quarantine camps and held their own citizens’ hostage. As did second on the list, New Zealand, which I have warned has become a poster child for Schwab’s agendaGermany imploded as Merkel sought to grab as much power as possible before leaving office, forbidding a portion of the population from participating in society. The UK’s Boris Johnson is a joke and only repealed restrictions when he was caught violating his own authority. Austria went to the extreme as well with their COVID restrictions, and even their head of state was forced to resign amid scandal. Canada is #12 on the list, previously ranking #5 in 2020, but Trudeau just employed the full extent of his powers as prime minister to freeze bank accounts and forbid anyone from protesting against his sole rulings.

How could any country that forcibly restricts its citizens’ movement and forces them to inject unknown substances into their bodies be deemed a “full democracy?” No one is allowed to speak out against their government or protest unless their protest aligns with the government’s agenda. Full democracies are extinct.

Trudeau & the Bonus Army


Armstrong Economics Blog/Canada Re-Posted Feb 21, 2022 by Martin Armstrong

COMMENT: Mr. Armstrong, you are one of the most intelligent and ardent supporters of freedom on the internet. That said, I cannot understand how you continually use the term fascist for governments such as Trudeau’s when it is so obviously communist. Worldwide, the communists such as Schwab are in control of our Western governments.

S

REPLY: Communism is defined in reality as the state owners everything. Fascism is her there is private ownership, but state control. Yes, Schwab admires Lenin. He is trying very hard to sell his economic philosophy to the world. But we have not yet reached a communistic state. Despite the propaganda of the West that constantly calls China Communist, that is a label that is simply used to create a fearful image. China is no more Communist than any other country. People have owned property, but the industry is becoming more under the control of the state.

What Trudeau has done is more than undermined the image of Canada as a law-abiding nation that is a safe haven for capital – he has embarked on a fascist agenda seizing people accounts who protest politically. In the United States, that is supposed to be protected under the First Amendment – Freedom of Speech and Freedom to Assemble. Trudeau has violated both of those principles. But let me make it very clear. Herbert Hoover lost the 1932 election also because he called out the army against the protests of the World War I veterans called the Bonus Army who was protesting simply to be paid what they had been promised.

Trudeau has called in police from Quebec to attack the English Truckers. This is the precise strategy of the Nika Revolt.

Ron Klain Organizes a Stunning, Massive and Magnificent Biden-Putin Peace Summit Certain to Bring Nobel Peace Nomination


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 20, 2022 | Sundance | 304 Comments

To understand why there has been so much escalating rhetoric about Russia going to invade Ukraine at any moment, you must realize the intent. The motives of the crisis narrative are crystal clear.

Everything about the Russia invasion of Ukraine has to be increasingly imminent, horrible and loomingly catastrophic for the planet, so that when it doesn’t happen the glorious victory for Dear Leader Biden can be proclaimed and amplified from the mountaintops.

Russia has absolutely no plan to invade Ukraine and doesn’t even have a role in this theatrical production from the White House.

The way the game is played; and believe me, everything about this is a game; they must take the manufactured crisis to the brink of thermonuclear war, so that Joe Biden can save the world and be seen as this legendary diplomat.

In the annals of U.S. history there has never been such an important summit.  The nomination for the Nobel Peace Prize that Ron Klain wants in this mid-term election year is dependent on magnanimous and strategic Biden overcoming all geopolitical odds to save the world.

Everything is carefully planned and scripted with a ‘this’, then ‘that‘ approach toward sequencing.  Earlier today, the Sunday news talk shows were filled with pending invasion rhetoric.  Putin was mere moments away from a massive army entering Ukraine.

The smells of heavy diesel loomed in the valleys as the thundering sound of tank tracks approached ever closer.  Dark men with black weapons were beating drums and carrying the flag of Mother Russia, as millions were seen marching by U.S. spy satellites in the region.   The birds all fled as the sounds of the battle groups began converging on the Ukraine border.  “The Russians are coming; The Russians are coming” one lad shouted to the CNN crew as he whizzed by on his bicycle, trying to pedal fast while carrying a bag of sausages for his sullen and sickly grandparents in eastern Ukraine.

CBS David Martin and Margaret Brennan reported {link} the Russian generals were informing their troop commanders of the invasion plans.  CNN then broke into the news cycle quoting three sources {link} “saying that the US has intelligence indicating that orders have been sent to Russian commanders to proceed with an attack on Ukraine.”  Things looked really bad just before noon…

Everything within the game must be looming on the precipice of crisis in order for it to have maximum impact when it doesn’t happen.

However, it was always never going to happen, because it’s pretended.  It’s all a big performance, a ruse, built on a completely manufactured scenario they know will never happen… because the White House is making it up.

After a full day of doomsaying invasion talk, the White House exhausts themselves promoting a National Security Council meeting and then strategically releases the following picture to promote the importance:

Turning all the nameplates to face the cameras was a nice touch by Chief of Staff Ron Klain.  However, unfortunately the optics of the narrative engineering was as subtle as a brick through a window.  I would suggest that Klain call the publicity dept of the CCP central committee in Beijing for advice on subtlety.  The Chinese have years of propaganda experience using similar tactics with North Korea messaging.

I digress…

So, within the script… today, the end of the world is nigh and the White House defenders of the universal spirit of righteousness and morality, convene an emergency meeting to outline their magnanimous plan to save us.  At least that was the script through 4:00pm Eastern.

Allowing a few hours for the narrative to simmer, the White House then declares that French President Emmanuel Macron has brokered a meeting between Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin, putting the brink of the end of the world on hold:

(WHITE HOUSE) – As the President has repeatedly made clear, we are committed to pursuing diplomacy until the moment an invasion begins. Secretary Blinken and Foreign Minister Lavrov are scheduled to meet later this week in Europe, provided Russia does not proceed with military action.

President Biden accepted in principle a meeting with President Putin following that engagement, again, if an invasion hasn’t happened.  We are always ready for diplomacy.  We are also ready to impose swift and severe consequences should Russia instead choose war.  And currently, Russia appears to be continuing preparations for a full-scale assault on Ukraine very soon. (read more)

Yes, let the church bells ring from the mountains as Ronald Reagan’s 1986 Helsinki summit with Michael Gorbachev has now been eclipsed in strategic geopolitical importance.

France and the United States jointly announce that the brilliant and incredibly strategic Joe Biden, and the dastardly villain of all things villainous, Vladimir Putin, will meet and come to an incredibly intense agreement over the Ukraine invasion that Putin never planned.

Together both leaders will save the world from a war that Putin never intended to participate in.

WASHINGTON DC – U.S. President Joe Biden and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin have agreed to hold a bilateral summit, followed by a meeting with all relevant parties, on the security situation in Europe, after both leaders spoke with French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday, the Elysée said.

But the meeting “can only be held at the condition that Russia does not invade Ukraine,” the Elysée said in its readout of the calls.

Macron spoke with Putin twice on Sunday, the first time for an hour and 40 minutes and the second for an hour, as Western leaders attempt to de-escalate the crisis sparked by the deployment of more than 100,000 Russian troops near Ukraine’s borders. Macron’s second call with Putin came after the French president spoke with Biden for around 15 minutes.

In its readout, the Elysée said Macron had proposed the summit between Biden and Putin, and then with all parties, “to discuss security and strategic stability in Europe,” with Biden and Putin having “both accepted the principle of such a summit.”

The summit would be prepared by U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov during a meeting scheduled for this Thursday, February 24. The Elysée added Macron “will work with all stakeholders to prepare the content of these discussions.” (read more)

With Dear Leader’s State of the Union speech less than two weeks away, the urgency of the meeting is important.

Yes, all of this…. every single part… all of it… is a complete manufactured fraud for domestic and international political consumption.

The U.S. intelligence community, White House, State Dept and media are all playing a role to give Joe Biden a win on the international stage, using a crisis that is entirely made up.

And Ron Klain is likely going to demand a Nobel Peace Prize for Joe Biden for all this effort.  Watch…

Sunday Talks, Even Their Australian Cousins Are Shocked at Canadian Government Brutality


Posted originally on the conservative tree house on February 20, 2022 | Sundance | 368 Comments

When the Australians are saying a government has gone insane, that’s when you know the Canadian government has gone insane.

Regional states within Australia were the former apexes of totalitarian government in the era of COVID compliance.  Australia’s Zero-COVID approach led to border closures, years of regional lockdowns, armed and patrolled checkpoints, mandated vaccines, guarded quarantine camps and manhunts for escapees, forced detainment of minority populations, police shooting rubber bullets at protest groups, cracked skulls and a completely segregated society awaiting their third and fourth booster shot before they can get past the supermarket gates.

However, even with all that… Australia never locked the bank accounts of its citizens and confiscated their property if they dared raise a voice of dissent against their “for your own good” beatings.  The pundits in Australia now look jaw-agape at how the COVID Cancer from Down Under has metastasized in the body politic of their cousins.  WATCH (2 parts):
