Eastern Region of Moldova Declares a State of Emergency as Ukraine Refuses to Continue Transit Agreement for Russian Gas


Posted originally on the CTH on December 24, 2024 | Sundance

In the nation of Moldova, the left bank of the Dniester (Nistru) River is home to 360,000 citizens in the Russia-controlled region of Transnistria. To the right side of the dividing line made by the Dniester is the western/EU allied side of Moldova.

The Russian energy company, Gazprom, provides gas to Transnistria through Ukraine. The gas is subsidized by Russia, so the Russian-allied citizens of Transnistria do not pay market prices; in fact, the gas is provided free. However, the gas into Transnistria is also used to power the Moldavskaya GRES power plant, which generates electricity for both banks of the Dniester. In essence, the “free” Russian gas is provided to both the pro-Russia and anti-Russia elements in the region.

The contract for the transit of Russian gas into Transnistria through Ukraine’s territory expires on January 1, 2025. Despite the war between Russia and Ukraine, gas transit and the contract signed in 2019 have continued. However, Ukraine under Zelenskyy has repeatedly said they do not plan to extend the gas transit agreement with Gazprom. This is a way for Zelenskyy, technically NATO, to create anxiety and crisis in the region.

The western aligned government of Moldova have been demanding that Russia withdraw all military and influence from the Transnistria region, meanwhile the Transnistria local governing officials are requesting Moscow to keep the flow of Russian gas ongoing. Observers have noted, “It looks stupid to ask for the withdrawal of Russian troops from Transnistria and meanwhile request Russia to continue to give free gas to the region.”

The citizens of Transnistria are pawns in the political schemes. Zelenskyy (Ukraine) is refusing to allow gas to heat their homes to come after the transit agreement ends. Ukraine, together with NATO, want Russians out of Transnistria. The looming energy crisis has created a state of emergency that the west, together with the Moldavian government intends to exploit.

It is not accidental that the EU/NATO/US State Dept/CIA are using the flashpoints of Georgia and Moldova to create conflict against Russia (check the map).

EUROPE – Moldova enacted a state of emergency, as the country gears up for an energy crisis at the start of 2025 following the end of Ukraine’s obligations to transport Russian gas through its territory.

Moldova, and especially the country’s breakaway region of Transnistria, will be hit the hardest following the end of the decades-long agreement.

Moldovan Prime Minister Dorin Recean said that the country has enough gas, bought on the international market, to keep the right bank of the Dniester (Nistru) River warm throughout the winter ahead.

But, he added, some360,000 citizens on the left bank of the river, in the Russia-controlled region of Transnistria, “are still dependent on one source of import — Gazprom.”

The leader of the Russian-controlled Transnistria declared a state of economic emergency on Dec. 6. Heaters, as well as basic goods like rice, grains, matches, salt and so on, have disappeared from shops, hoarded by the local population in anticipation of the crisis ahead.

Following decades of relying on free Russian gas, the Moscow-controlled region will now need to pay market prices, lowered by energy bill relief schemes provided by the Moldovan government. (read more)

It’s almost a guarantee at this point the CIA and U.S. State Dept. have ongoing strategic operations in control of Moldova. Energy market prices will be a lot higher than what eastern Moldovans pay now. There is going to be unrest and political friction created by this crisis as the west says, “apparently, independence has a several costs.”

White House FEBRUARY, 2023 – President Joseph R. Biden Jr. met today with Moldovan President Maia Sandu in Warsaw. President Biden reaffirmed strong U.S. support for Moldova’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. He highlighted ongoing US assistance to help Moldova strengthen its political and economic resilience, including its democratic reform agenda and energy security, and to address the effects of Russia’s war against Ukraine.

Moldovan President Maia Sandu

For more than two years we have been saying to keep an eye on Moldova in the background.  On November 2, 2024, Moldova held their national election, and while the actual number of people living in Moldova voted for the anti-war position, once the overseas ballots were added the results changed.  The nationalists became the minority and the pro-war/pro-EU globalists declared victory.

This may seem like a relatively ‘over there’ and small issue.  However, the people who control Joe Biden, the U.S. State Dept and the CIA have been positioning themselves in/around Moldova for several years now.

Now that Georgia has voted to reject the EU and anti-Russia efforts, watch out for Moldova to become the spark that leads to escalated conflict with Russia.

Moldova has a significant population of pro-Russia citizens in the east, which makes the internal domestic dynamic a little strenuous to manage. It is very similar to Ukraine in that regard. It is much smaller than Ukraine, but similar inside the national political dynamic.  Additionally, the geopolitical dynamic that is unfolding with the use of Moldova is identical to how the U.S/NATO exploited Ukraine.

It was the Moldovan ex-pat community, living outside Moldova, that overwhelmingly decided the fate of this small nation that borders Ukraine.

The people living in Moldova are majority aligned with Russia.  However, the people voting in the election from outside Moldova changed the dynamic of the election.  This reality creates a major source of angst for Russia and Vladimir Putin.  This dynamic also creates the point on the stick the EU/USA and CIA will use to poke the bear.

Watch closely.

When the U.S. activates NGOs in European countries (Moldova, Hungary, Georgia) the media call it “spreading democracy.” However, when the people who live in the country organically rise up in the opposite direction against the government outcomes from the NGO pressure, the media call it “Russian interference.”

Japan Fighting the Market Blaming Speculator not Its Policies

Japan Yen 10000 2024

Japan is cascading into a serious debt crisis. Even Japanese finance officials have come out and been shocked by the fall of the Japanese yen back to retest the lows of 1990. They have been urging the Bank of Japan to intervene in foreign exchange and are naturally blaming speculators. Finance Minister Katsunobu Kato came out and stated:

“As we are alarmed by recent currency market developments including those driven by speculators, we’ll take appropriate action against excessive moves.”

IBJYUS Y Tech 12 19 24

In every government, they will always blame speculators and never their own policies. The mere fact that Kato has publicly made this statement demonstrates that the currency market is rather alarming, and the government is very concerned about the collapse of the Japanese yen. Currently, the dollar is trading at the 151 level. A year-end closing above 148 will warn that the dollar can rally substantially in the 200 to 250 zone. A close BELOW 147 would imply we could see the yen consolidate into 2026, but then it would resume a decline into 2027. Japan did conduct an intervention into the FOREX market buying yen last July to support its currency after fell below 161 per dollar level.

The BOJ’s rate-setting meeting concluded, suggesting that the U.S.-Japan interest rate differentials may not narrow as fast as previously expected. They did confirm that a former employee’s theft of over 1 billion yen from customers’ deposit boxes did not help with confidence overall.

Newsom Declares State of Emergency

Newsom California

Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency over the bird flu. Of the 34 reported cases, 33 were working directly in farms. There is no grave danger to the public at large. This publicity stunt is merely a way for Newsom to have more power over his state ahead of Trump’s inauguration.

Newsom enjoyed endless power under COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions. I’ve met countless people who call themselves “pandemic refugees” as they were forced to flee California during the pandemic as it became one of the most oppressive states in the nation.

“This proclamation is a targeted action to ensure government agencies have the resources and flexibility they need to respond quickly to this outbreak. Building on California’s testing and monitoring system — the largest in the nation — we are committed to further protecting public health, supporting our agriculture industry, and ensuring that Californians have access to accurate, up-to-date information. While the risk to the public remains low, we will continue to take all necessary steps to prevent the spread of this virus,” Newsom declared.

Over 600 dairy farms are under quarantine in California due to the bird flu. I explained that the USDA will begin testing ALL dairy farms across America, despite no known instance of someone becoming sick from consuming dairy. There have not been any recorded cases of person-to-person spread either.

Newsom may now issue executive orders and proclamations under the premise that this virus is not posing a risk to the public at large. He may now assume direct control over emergency management and state operations, as well as expanding current budgets. He could actually make expenditures from any state fund available for his use. There is a deeper power play ploy at hand behind these actions.

Postal Truck EV Fail – $3B Govt Waste


Posted Dec 20, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Governments are eager to spend your tax dollars on useless initiatives to save the planet from global warming. The Biden Administration spent BILLIONS on investing in EV infrastructure that never came to fruition. I spoke on how Biden approved of a $7.5 billion spending package to build EV charging stations throughout the nation, but only SEVEN were produced in over a two-year span. His most recent climate debacle that came to light rests on decarbonizing the Postal Service.

The government provided the Postal Service with funding to purchase 60,000 “Next Generation Delivery Vehicles” (NGDVs) from defense contractor Oshkosh. Oshkosh has never produced an electric truck and it is obvious why Biden avoided other more established EV manufacturers. Congress approved $3 billion to spend on this $10 billion project derived from the Inflation Reduction Act – the largest guise for climate spending in US history.

Out of that $3 BILLION, only 93 vehicles have been delivered since 2022.  Countless issues have been reported with these NGDVs from leaks to airbags. Worse, Oshkosh was never equipped to handle the production of 3,000 vehicles, and has stated that they have only been able to produce ONE truck per day. They are now working to refine their manufacturing to create 80 trucks per day. Again, there were other avenues and established factories.

Does anyone believe those small mail trucks are truly polluting the environment? Should the American people simply accept that they may not receive mail when the weather is less than ideal? “Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds” unless forced to drive electric!

The Western Press & Their Propaganda Threatens Our Very Existence


Posted originally on Dec 20, 2024 by Martin Armstrong 

Huffinton Post Putin_Makes_Bizarre_Claim

The Western Press is nothing but propaganda, and they keep cheering death and destruction. This latest piece by the Huffington Post is just outrageous. I hope they enjoy bathing in a pool of blood, they advocate. They wrote that TASS reported that Putin said he “pointed out that ex-British Prime Minister Boris Johnson had said at some point that Ukraine ‘needs to keep fighting until the last Ukrainian’.”

Putin added: “So this is what they are doing – fighting. They will soon run out of Ukrainians willing to fight.”

The Huffington Post then claims, “But there is no online record of Johnson saying this.” They then write: “This is part of a wider conspiracy theory – often repeated by the Kremlin – that the ex-PM had derailed potential peace talks about Ukraine and Russia during the early stages of the war. 

They have the audacity to print: “Johnson debunked these claims in The Times in January this year, saying the theory was “total nonsense” and “Russian propaganda.”

Zelenskyy Johnson
1 Johnson kills peace

It was reported on the front page in Ukraine that Johnson did kill the peace talks. This is why my Ukrainian sources plainly say if Zelensky were on fire, they would not urinate on him until he was dead. Zelensky was even forced to claim that he could decide peace without permission from London and Washington.

It is just stunning how the Huffington Post now seeks to rewrite history. The press always claims these are Russian propaganda and conspiracy theories. We have to wonder who is pulling their chains and how much they are being paid to print outright lies.

Zelensky Bodyguard

There was a Ukrainian attempted assassination of Zelensky in May. He tried to claim it was Russians behind two Ukrainian military officers. However, Zelensky then fired his Ukrainian head of security, and now his bodyguards are Americans. He is afraid of his own people, and rightly so, for this is a stupid war that has no benefit to the Ukrainian people.

Zelensky_admits_Ukraine_does_not_have_military_strength

I am sorry, but I believe the Neocons, including Johnson, were all of the view that Ukraine would fight until the last man. By this fake news, they are trying to make it sound like the West can destroy and defeat Russia as they did with Iraq to get people to run to the front lines to kill Russians since they are all evil, worthless human beings.

You even have the NEOCON Lyndsey admit that the money sent to Ukraine is to kill Russians. He openly said this was the best money they had ever spent to kill Russians. What is this personal hatred all about? These people are destroying Ukraine. About one-third of the country has fled with no intention of returning.

In the first few months, I reported that 100,000 Ukrainians had already died. I got the hate mail claiming that it was Russian Propaganda. But my sources were from inside Ukraine. When Ursula repeated that same number in her speech, Zelensky made her take that out, claiming it was classified. Here is her original video and the edited version so they can keep up the pretense that Ukraine is winning.

The Ukrainian press has reported that over 1 million Ukrainians have died. Again, Zelensky ordered them to claim it was a typo. At least 6 million up to 8 million have fled Ukraine. The war does not benefit Ukraine. The United States wrote, “the war has shattered the Ukrainian economy, rolling back development gains made over the past years and plunging nearly 25% of the population into poverty,” according to the latest Annual Report of the United Nations in Ukraine, published in April 2024.

Merkel_Minsk_Buy_Time_to Prepare for wart

The Huffington Post twists statements about Putin to keep up the image of the evil empire. They wrote that “Russia currently occupies around 20% of Ukraine, and around 6 million Ukrainians live there, according to Kyiv – but Ukraine’s total population is closer to 38 million.” What they refuse to publish is that there was a Minsk Agreement was to allow the Donbas to separate since they are ethnic Russians just as the breakup of Yugoslavia along ethnic lines. The Huffington Post omitted to report that former Chancellor Merkel admitted that they negotiated a peace deal only to buy time for Ukraine to build an army to attack Russia.

Shakespeare Fools Mortals

The West has planned this war against Russia, and this will destroy Europe and their own careers. I recall someone there in England once wrote, “Lord, what fools these mortals be!”

Putin even tried to explain to Zelensky the importance of the Minsk Agreement in avoiding war. This has been a deliberate war set in motion by the West. Putin has offered peace countless times, but the West instructed Zelensky to invade Russia with no strategic purpose, only to try to force Putin to attack NATO so they can claim he started World War III.

Zelensky_Pursue_Nuclear_Weapons_2 23 22

They sent Kamal to the Munich Security Conference because she was a total idiot and read the cue card she was handed, proclaiming Ukraine should join NATO 3 days before Russia invaded. To make sure Putin crossed the border, Zelensky, the day before, said Ukraine would rearm with nuclear weapons.

Zelensky did not tell people about invasion

When the Washington Post found out he knew when Putin would cross the border, they asked why he did not warn his people. This scum-bag told the Washington Post if he told the people, he would have lost $7 billion. He has declared Martial Law, so he no longer stands for election, and he has suspended debt payments defaulting. He has been a traitor to his own people and his own country and thinks that Black Rock will raise trillions to invest in Ukraine as the great European Investment of the century. Our computer warns that Ukraine will no longer exist.

Syrian Refugees Refuse to Leave Europe

Refugees

The war is over and it is safe for Syrian refugees to return home. Assad is no longer a threat and nations like Austria, Greece, the Netherlands, UK, France, Italy, Belgium, Sweden, Finland, and Norway have suspended new refugee applications. Yet, what about the four million Syrian refugees seeking asylum in the European Union? Reports are circulating the obvious – they have no plans to return home.

“Why should you go back when you have everything here?… In Syria I no longer have a home, a job or friends. I will only fly to Syria for holidays and to visit family – probably next year when the airport is open again,” one 27-year-old male refugee told Welt news outlet.

Syria’s new leader Abu Mohammad al-Jolani conducted an interview with an Italian news outlet one day after taking power. His first priorities are to restore security and stability in all Syrian cities, saying his people have been “exhausted by injustice and tyranny.” His second priority is “to bring back the millions of Syrian refugees who are scattered around the world,” he stated. “Their human capital and experience will help restart the country. My appeal goes out to all Syrians abroad: Syria is now a free country that has regained its pride and dignity. Come back. We need to rebuild, to get our country on its feet again, and we need everyone’s help.”

His third priority should perhaps be his second: strategic planning and restoring basic essential services like electricity and stabilizing the food supply. Still, Syria needs patriots to come home to help rebuild their nation.

Regardless, European nations have never had the resources to fund millions of asylum seekers. Thanks to former Chancellor Angela Merkel, Germany boasts the largest Syrian population in the EU. HALF of all welfare recipients in Germany are of foreign origin or 2.7 million people. They have been comfortably living in Germany with no plans to return, in fact, 23% of Germany’s population is now migrants of children of migrants. This is one of the reasons we are seeing people turn to the AfD Party as the people do not want to subsidize the lives of millions who no longer even qualify as refugees.

Refugeee Welcome

Breitbart reported the same sentiments among refugees living across Europe. As one UK-based refugee stated: “After seven years of living in the UK, I don’t think I will go back… Some of those now in charge of Syria were members of al-Qaeda just a few years ago. I don’t think Syria is safe now, in a few months and possibly not even in a year.” The cost of supporting each refugee has spiked to 41,000 pounds per year.

Ideas such as free air travel back to Syria and cash incentives have been thrown around, but that does not outweigh the luxury of living in a developed nation free of charge and often above the law.
