Stop the presses. A Bloomberg story reverses course on the whole Ukraine affair. The business newspaper that told the world Russia was weak and sure to lose everything over military intervention in Ukraine now says Zelensky and the Ukrainians will be sold out.
Not Even a Drunk President
Even if the mumbling, bumbling, drunken Kamala Harris does become President of the United States, the American people won’t stand for throwing good taxpayer dollars after the bad $175 billion in US aid that Washington has already sent Ukraine’s comedian leader. I predict Russia will make a few more critical advances in Ukraine and that a deal will be struck to partition the country as was done between North and South Korea. The taxpayer monies used to prolong the war will be considered free seed money for investment firms like BlackRock to make hundreds of billions rebuilding what Americans paid to have destroyed by the Russians. The whole affair is not so complex. If we look at history as Russia’s President Putin does, everything becomes much more straightforward. Take the media’s approaches to the Russia/Ukraine issue from the propagandist of all propagandist’s manifesto:
“The broad masses of the people are not made up of diplomats or professors of public jurisprudence nor simply of persons who are able to form reasoned judgment in given cases, but a vacillating crowd of human children who are constantly wavering between one idea and another.” – Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf (1925)
As you can see, history is repeating itself right under our noses, only the United States is not on the winning side this time. Western fake news is directed at a population less aware of world affairs than an Iowa dirt farmer during the Great Depression. Propaganda says “this” about Ukraine, while the truth lies light years away in another galaxy. The level of piracy and malfeasance in this Ukraine mess is staggering if everything is considered. For instance, EU brokers have raked in record profits by buying cheap grain from Ukraine and cutting the rug from other European farmers like those in Poland. While the leadership of EU nations seem unwavering in their support for the Ukraine proxy war, the people in those countries are affected by mafia-like policies and are not happy. Furthermore, America and other countries selling energy to Europe at premium prices cannot continue. The whole continent is on the verge of going dark if a hard Winter hits.
All the Censorship Fuss
Chris Hann, Emeritus Director of the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology, recently wrote at The Conversation about the media circus and other situations inside Ukraine. The following passage from his report confirms everything alternative media (and the Russians) have been saying for years now.
“During my recent visit, I was sometimes asked why the BBC and other influential western media never probed behind the slick public face of Volodymyr Zelensky’s team to report on the real conditions and opinions of ordinary Ukrainians. Instead, Russians are demonised and Ukrainians hailed for their “European values” and their sacrifices on behalf of the west.”
Ukraine is, by far, the most corrupt nation in Europe and worse than at least 104 nations worldwide. Even Transparency International says that almost one-fourth of all officials in the country regularly accept bribes. Ironically, given how European leadership is currently robbing the population, perhaps Zelensky’s government does uphold the highest European value – robbing the poor to feed the rich.
Meanwhile, the boldface liars in places like the Atlantic Council (BBC, RFE/RL, and that too) proclaim Zelensky’s money laundering dictatorship “among the world’s top performers in the corruption indexes.” Of course, this kind of smoke and mirrors play is to ensure investors see BlackRock and other funds heavily vested in Ukraine don’t cash in over fears their assets might plunge. But let’s not get into the hedge funds and corporate takeovers of Ukrainian-related assets here. The point is that Ukraine is toast, as one analyst put it. The only question is how “done” the toast will be. This largely depends on how generous the Russians feel once the spotlight shines on an actual peace accords summit.
Finally, the lunatics that the West has put in power to do the bidding of the elites are unrelenting. A Carl Bildt piece recently published at Project Syndicate juggles words, terminology, and the truth on Ukraine’s whole situation. His Nazi-like propaganda delusion is not unexpected given that George Soros and the media run by old Nazis run Project Syndicate. You should investigate one George von Holtzbrinck, Hitler Youth number 2,126,353, and his children who helped fund the fascist elitist Project Syndicate. I should not have to go further. A last note here is the ever-growing concern over the liberal order (or the Democrats) desire to censor everyone who does not follow the party line. Former President Trump has been big on this, as have Tucker Carlson and a slew of other alternative media/experts concerned about the fate of America and the world. Elon Musk, reportedly the world’s richest person, has also jumped into this fray.
So, what we are witnessing today is essentially the same level of propaganda Joseph Goebbels, the head of Nazi Germany’s Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda, used to make every German a murderous monster. Is Ukraine finished? It has always been since NATO started its march toward Russia. Sadly, tens of millions have been deprived of liberty, a future, or anything like a legacy.
