A triumvirate’s contempt for the masses

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, French President Emmanuel Macron, Italian Prime Minister Mario Draghi, and Romanian President Klaus Iohannis arrived by train in Ukraine’s capital Kiev on Thursday morning. This is the first visit for each of them since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine in late February.

My gut reaction to the picture to which I have provided a hyperlink only a few line above was that some EU leaders must have a very low opinion of the people who supposedly voted them in – ‘supposedly’ because Mario Draghi was not elected by the Italian people and Emmanuel Macron seems to have secured a second term only through foul play – because of the obvious theatrics behind this train trip of theirs to Kiev.

To be more precise, my initial reaction to the picture of this triumvirate of the so-called leaders of the EU’s three most powerful member states was a neologism of my making, ‘a carriage of double-downers’, coupled with the historical recollection that Lenin on the eve of the Russian revolution had also travelled in a special train – not to Ukraine, but to Russia.
I even wondered whether it was some kind of black magic re-enactment of this event in the hope that it might bring about regime change in Russia. Then I told myself that it was simply theatre for the media, so as to prepare the European sheeple for a new round of AUSTERITY measures – the very same austerity measures Mario Draghi must have been instrumental in establishing when he headed the EU’s central bank!

The purely theatrical nature of the EU triumvirate’s trip by rail to Kiev was not lost on some RT.com readers who commented on this news headline as follows:

..."Premiers of Germany, France, Italy and Romania had traveled overnight on a train...".---LOL. They should get used to it. Steam engines, firewood and horses will become the new "normal" soon. And also wild berries, some nuts... tree bark...
WINTER IS COMING.

Argue whatever you will, say, that it was an instance of so-called ‘friendly fire’ or that the Russians had been given advance warning thanks to the drone being operated by comrades of theirs (as it clearly was an ambush) and that they knew that they were being filmed and therefore evacuated the soldier purely for propaganda purposes – or worse, that the whole incident was merely staged –, the facts on the ground – evidence in the form of testimony provided by civilians or by prisoners of war, footage from drones or from cameras fixed on the battle gear of Russian soldiers or on their military vehicles – demonstrates that the Russian army is following the Geneva conventions unlike some elements of the Ukrainian army (especially the neo-Nazi units).

He’s one lucky son of a bitch the Russians are such humanitarians. Look how quick and professional and even carted his ass off to a field hospital. Ukrainians would have finished him off for sure or at least watched and laughed as a Russian dies.

Russia is following the Geneva convention, unlike the Ukrainians who murder the wounded and cripple POWs.

Interesting to note that they checked the dead for vital and immediately begun to provide medical assistance. I’ve seen Kiev forces go straight for the kill. Not even checking vitals, instead shooting their targets immediately after approaching to confirm the kill. Difference in fighting styles and human interactions. Say as you might about how aggressive Russians can be, the fact they immediately went to provide medical assistance to the wounded, even if only to capture demonstrates a degree of humanity still.

Yes, and professionalism. But they are kindred. In Syria I doubt that the opposing side could expect such courtesy, which is understandable. Even more of a reason to find a peaceful solution. These are all young guys speaking more or less the same language, same age, genetics, interests, etc. Impossible to feel joy watching either side getting killed.

The Biden administration does not even want Ukraine to win.

An excerpt from Nick Fuentes’s show of  31st May where he takes the recent announcement by the president of the USA that the most recent batch of missiles provided to Ukraine would not be for the purpose of shelling targets in Russia itself to its logical conclusion.

It’s a positive sign, but it’s almost actually very damning because what this now suggests is that the United States is not even serious about beating Russia. And we knew this, but this proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the United States doesn’t think Ukraine can win. It doesn’t even want Ukraine to win. This shows that all the United States is doing by sending their paltry military support is they just want to kill as many Russians – and as a consequence, much more Ukrainians – as possible. That’s it. And that’s actually very damning. And they said this during a press conference this week. They said, ‘Well, we’re not trying to prolong the war, we’re just trying to make it costly’. And how exactly do you make it more costly? By prolonging it – that’s exactly … ‘Well, we’re not trying to prolong it, we’re just trying to make it more costly’. And … and what is literally the only way to make it more costly? To make it go on longer: the longer that the Russians have to deploy troops, the longer that they have to be taking casualties, the longer that they have to be in the war, and replacing equipment, and so on, maintaining these supply lines into Ukrainian territory, yeah, the more costly it’s going to be. That’s literally all that they’re doing. So, on some sense, it’s even more damning because if they thought Ukraine could win and if they were pursuing a strategy where Ukraine was going to come out of this completely independent and perhaps a NATO member, then they would be giving them fighter jets; they would be giving them long-range missiles; they would be giving them the support that they needed to win if they thought that they could. But they know that they can’t win, and so they’re not going to risk provoking war with Russia. They’re not going to risk doing that. All that they’re doing is they’re giving the Ukrainians just enough to continue to die, just enough to continue to get bombed and slaughtered and … and all that. Just to keep the war going so that the Russians will lose money. That’s it. That’s what they’re doing. That’s the strategy. I don’t think anybody could argue against that at this point – especially based on this continued restraint about giving the Ukrainians any serious weaponry. And if that’s the case, then what does that say about the United States – which is going to go out there day after day and talk about war crimes and atrocities? And they are the only thing keeping the war going. The war would have been over a long time ago without the United States’ support.

PS
According to the Russian president, the whole “fuss around” the additional arms deliveries to Kiev “serves only one purpose – to prolong the armed conflict as much as possible.”
Source: Russia Today (RT.com), 5th June 2022

Alexander Mercouris, of the Duran, stated a viewpoint similar to Mr Fuentes’s on 5th June (‘Biden White House in search of an off-ramp in Ukraine’):

‘[…] they’re looking for some way to keep this thing going, to keep Ukraine going, to keep the war going until after the midterms or until they can find some way to reframe the whole discussion in the run-up to the midterms to avoid the appearance of failure, which might be fatal for the democratic party’s electoral prospects – what’s left of them. So that’s, I think, the debate. It’s not about Ukraine, helping Ukraine. It’s not about ending the war […]’

No major harm on 666.

Given that it is apparent that the Biden administration is unable to do anything other than escalate the Russia-Ukraine conflict to proportions such that an even more severe boomerang effect is likely for a country so unfortunate to have at its helm a half-geriatric warmonger (and election cheat), I wonder whether the prophecy the American clairvoyant, healer and mystic Edgar Cayce once made in a ‘reading’ of his (repeated in a dream Mr Cayce had a few years later) that parts of the eastern coastline of the USA would be submerged might not materialise sooner than later as a result of the recklessness of the Biden administration.

Adam Curtis on demoralisation

My mini-entry of yesterday, in which I made in passing a reference to the work of Adam Curtis, reminded me of a glaring silence on this blog with respect to the revelations about Soviet subversion techniques that were made in 1983 by the Soviet defector Yuri Alexandrovich Bezmenov (real name: Tomas Schuman).

Because when Adam Curtis, a documentary-maker who was being given prime air time on the BBC a decade ago, concluded his brief clip on the ‘contradictory vaudeville of post-modern politics’, what he refused to acknowledge was that what he was describing was simply the first stage of the Soviet subversion techniques Yuri Bezmenov (a Russian defector who had worked for the USSR’s propaganda machine) had disclosed to the world:

‘It sums up the strange mood of our time, where nothing really makes any coherent sense. We live with a constant vaudeville of contradictory stories that makes it impossible for any real opposition to emerge because they can’t counter it with a coherent narrative of their own.
And it means that we as individuals become ever more powerless, unable to challenge anything, because we live in a state of confusion and uncertainty. To which the response is “Oh, dear”. But that is what they want you to say’.

By the way, the neo-Bolshevik who cheated his way to the presidency of the USA, i.e. Joe Biden, to me seems to be in the very process of applying Bezmenov/Schuman’s subversion quartet of demoralisation, destabilisation, crisis and normalisation to his own country, the first two stages of which were recently rather brilliantly captured in a New York Post’s facetious front cover of 19th May entitled ‘Joe’s train wreck’ (https://nypost.pressreader.com/new-york-post/20220519).

The Corbett Report turned fifteen yesterday.

On 1st June 2007, James Corbett, a Canadian who was working as a teacher of English in Japan, broadcast his first ‘report’ – apparently, on the topic of 9/11 (11th September 2001). For my part, I came across his work roughly half-way through the existence of his show, i.e. on 26th January 2015, when I was looking up information on the English documentary-maker Adam Curtis and a search engine presented me with a show of James Corbett entitled ‘Meet Adam Curtis, Establishment Contrarian’.

James Corbett offers what tends to be a contrarian take on politics, history, society, economics, etc., based on information primarily retrieved online (which he calls ‘open-source intelligence’). For instance, Mr Corbett does not believe in man-made climate change; he agrees with the claim that some are trying to establish a new world order, that the coronavirus pandemic was a scam and that there are some very evil people around who are bent on getting rid of as many fellow human beings as possible. However, I would certainly not describe James Corbett as being on the far right and even less so as what leftists like to label American or European patriots with a smear phrase very much in the limelight these days, and one designed to elicit a quasi Pavlovian reaction, i.e., the dreaded ‘white suprematist’ slur, because, unless I am mistaken, his son is Eurasian and Mr Corbett is still based in Japan.

To mark the fifteenth anniversary of the start of his show, James Corbett came up with a list of fifteen ‘lessons’ learned from his experience as a broadcaster focusing on contemporary or past events from the perspective of a dot-connector unafraid of interpreting certain world events as anything but random. So, probably unsurprisingly, the title of his anniversary show was ‘15 things I’ve learned in 15 years’.

For Mr Corbett’s list of 15 insights gained over his 15 years in the business of researching, analysing and interpreting societal, geopolitical and economic affairs, you will have to open the following link: https://www.corbettreport.com/15things. For my part, I am going to end this mini-entry with a ‘truth’ both Mr Corbett and I have gained in wanting to convince some of the people we know that there is more to what is happening – and has been happening – to the world since, say, 2001 than the artificial opinion consensus created and disseminated by a few media conglomerates indeed global in their daily reach:

Number 13: ‘You can’t wake someone up who’s pretending to be asleep.’ You might remember this insight from Questions for Corbett Number 65 on ‘How do I wake up my friends and family?’, where I was talking about people who are saying ‘You know, I’m trying to get my brother interested in this. I’m trying to convince my co-worker, whatever it is … um … but they just they … they don’t, you know, they … they’re not getting it. How do I wake them up?’ The real answer to this is: ‘It’s not like they … they’re not sleeping: they … they see what you are saying. They … they can see the data as well. And whatever mental gymnastics they’re doing to dismiss that is in their head. You cannot change what is happening in someone’s head or the way that person is approaching this information. You can’t change that, you can’t be the … You can’t flip that switch for them: if they don’t want to see something, they will not see it.’ And going back to the earlier insight about people do not go by their feelings, not their rational… they don’t rationally think their way into most of these deep, complex phenomena. They … they sort of feel them ‘And I don’t …Oh, no, I … I’m not going there.’ And any mental gymnastic pretzel knot-twist they have to do in order to avoid that information, they will do. Because, again, they’re pretending to be asleep. That’s an important one, that’s an important insight. Not so much as it will help you to help wake up other people, but so that you don’t take the onus upon yourself: ‘It is my responsibility what happens in that person’s head’. No, no that … that … that’s really bad because it ... unfortunately it will lead to heartache for people. ‘I just … I can’t get my … my friend to see the truth’ – whatever it is.

Episode 339 – ‘Meet Paul Ehrlich, Pseudoscience Charlatan’, 5th June 2018
Renowned scientist Paul Ehrlich has been in the public spotlight for half a century now. But there’s a question at the heart of the story of Ehrlich’s unlikely rise to prominence. A question that must be answered. Why is it that this entomologist has become such a superstar of science, received so many accolades and awards, and wielded such influence over the public conversation on population despite being so remarkably, consistently, staggeringly wrong about the issues he presumes to lecture the public on?
