The true origins of the two World Wars have been deleted from all our history books and replaced with mythology. Neither War was started (or desired) by Germany, but both at the instigation of a group of European Zionist Jews with the stated intent of the total destruction of Germany. The documentation is overwhelming and the evidence undeniable. (1) (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11)
That history is being repeated today in a mass grooming of the Western world’s people (especially Americans) in preparation for World War III – which I believe is now imminent.
Há muitos anos, o comentador político judeu americano Walter Lippmann percebeu que a ideologia política podia ser completamente fabricada, ao utilizar os meios de comunicação social para controlar tanto a apresentação, como a conceptualização, não só para criar crenças falsas profundamente enraizadas numa população, mas também para apagar completamente ideias políticas indesejáveis da mente pública. Este foi o início não só da histeria americana pela liberdade, democracia e patriotismo, como também de toda a opinião política fabricada, um processo que tem sido infalível desde então. Lippmann criou estas teorias de persuasão em massa do público, utilizando "factos" totalmente fabricados, profundamente insinuados na mente de um público ingénuo, mas há muito mais nesta história. Um judeu austríaco chamado Edward Louis Bernays, que era sobrinho do psicanalista Sigmund Freud, foi um dos estudantes mais precoces de Lippmann e foi ele que pôs em prática as teorias de Lippmann. Bernays é amplamente conhecido na América como o pai das Relações Públicas, mas seria muito melhor descrevê-lo como sendo o pai do marketing de guerra americano, bem como o pai da manipulação em massa, da mentalidade do povo americano.
The latest attack by the Biden administration against our country cannot go unanswered. It seems Washington is unwilling to accept that there is no room for unilateral dictates in the new geopolitical reality. Meanwhile, the bankrupt scenarios for deterring Moscow that the US myopically continues to pursue only promise to further degrade Russian-US relations.
In this context, the appeals from across the ocean to refrain from escalation and essentially accept this attempt to talk to us from a position of strength sound hypocritical. We have repeatedly warned and demonstrated in practice that sanctions and any other pressure will never succeed and will only have dire consequences for those who dare attempt such provocations.
We will introduce the following countermeasures in response to anti-Russian sanctions in the near future:
Employees of US diplomatic missions will be expelled on a reciprocal basis in numbers proportional to the actions taken by the US authorities against Russian diplomats.
Incidentally, we noted how quickly Warsaw played up to the US administration by demanding the departure of three Russian diplomats from Poland. In turn, five Polish diplomats will be expelled from Russia.
The US Embassy’s practice of using short-term trips by State Department staff to support the functioning of diplomatic missions will be restricted. The issuance of visas to them will be reduced to a minimum: up to 10 people per year on a reciprocal basis.
In strict conformity with the Vienna conventions on diplomatic relations and Russian law, including the Labour Code, measures will be taken to discontinue completely the practice of US diplomatic missions employing citizens of the Russian Federation and third countries as administrative and technical staff.
The bilateral 1992 memorandum of understanding on open ground is declared invalid due to systematic violations of rules for trips in the Russian Federation by employees of US diplomatic missions.
Plans are in place to halt the activities in the Russian Federation of American foundations and NGOs controlled by the Department of State and other US government agencies. These consistent, long-term efforts will be brought to an end, all the more so since the United States shows no intention of scaling back its systematic subversive efforts underpinned by a wide array of laws.
Obviously, this very tense situation objectively requires the ambassadors of our countries to be in their respective capitals to analyse developments and hold consultations.
These steps represent just a fraction of the capabilities at our disposal. Unfortunately, US statements threatening to introduce new forms of punishment show that Washington is not willing to listen and does not appreciate the restraint that we have displayed despite the tensions that have been purposefully fuelled since the presidency of Barack Obama.
Recall that after a large-scale expulsion of Russian diplomats in December 2016 and the seizure of Russian diplomatic property in the US, we did not take any response measures for seven months. We responded only when Russia was declared a US adversary legislatively in August 2017.
In general, compared to the Russian diplomatic missions in the United States, the US Embassy in Moscow operates in better conditions, enjoying a numerical advantage and actively benefitting from the work of Russian citizens hired in-country. This form of disparity frees up “titular” diplomats to interfere in our domestic affairs, which is one of the main tenets of Washington’s foreign policy doctrine.
Incidentally, soon the Foreign Ministry will publish on its website the names of eight incumbent and former high-ranking US officials and other figures involved in drafting and implementing anti-Russia policy. They will be permanently banned from entering the Russian Federation. This is our equivalent response to the sanctions against Russian officials that the US blacklisted last month.
Now is the time for the United States to show common sense and pull back from this confrontational course. Otherwise, the US will face a host of painful decisions, for instance, an order for US diplomatic missions to reduce personnel in Russia to 300 people. This will establish real parity at bilateral foreign offices because the US quota of 455 employees still includes the 155 people sent to the Russian Permanent Mission to the UN in New York. However, this has nothing to do with our bilateral mission.
There are also other options. Of course, we realise that we are limited in our ability to squeeze the Americans economically as they have us. However, we have some resources in this respect and they will also be used if Washington chooses to follow the path of spiraling sanctions.
None of this is our choice. We would like to avoid further escalation with the US. We are ready to engage in calm and professional dialogue with the US in order to find ways of normalising bilateral ties. However, the reality is that we hear one thing from Washington but see something completely different in practice. There must be no doubt – not a single round of sanctions will go unanswered.
We have obviously heard President Joe Biden express interest in stable, constructive and predictable relations with Russia, including a proposed Russian-US summit. When this offer was made, it was received positively and is now being considered in the context of concrete developments.
In response to the sanctions against Russian officials imposed by the US administration on March 2 of this year, the following incumbent and former US high-ranking officials and figures complicit in pursuing the anti-Russia policy, are denied entry to the Russian Federation:
Merrick Brian Garland, United States Attorney General;
Michael D. Carvajal, Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons;
Alejandro Nicholas Mayorkas, United States Secretary of Homeland Security;
Susan Elizabeth Rice, Director of the United States Domestic Policy Council, former US Permanent Representative to the United Nations and National Security Advisor;
Christopher Asher Wray, Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation;
Avril Danica Haines, Director of US National Intelligence.
In addition, entry is denied to John Robert Bolton, former National Security Advisor to the United States President, former US Permanent Representative to the United Nations, and Robert James Woolsey Jr., former director of the US Central Intelligence Agency.
In view of the unprecedented complications in Russia-US relations provoked by Washington, it was decided to deviate from the usual practice of not making public the response measures taken by the Russian side.

Francamente, o discurso de Biden à nação americana (o primeiro da sua vida) foi, provavelmente, o discurso político mais lamechas que alguma vez ouvi.E não estou a referir-me ao facto de Biden chamar a Putin "Clutin" ou confundir "deescalation" com "vaccination", estou a referir do conteúdo verdadeiro do seu discurso.Resumindo: continuaremos a magoar-vos e a humilhar-vos constantemente, tratar-vos-emos como uma criança mal educada de 10 anos a precisar de uma boa palmada, mas queremos paz e um bom relacionamento.É evidente que Biden não percebe nada dos conceitos russos.Mas para "Biden" (o colectivo "Biden", não o vegetariano confuso) existe um plano.Qual poderá ser?
Já expliquei qual é o plano dos EUA em relação à Ucrânia: encorajar os Ukronazis a atacar, sem envolver os EUA numa guerra convencional com a Rússia.
Frankly, Biden’s address to the US nation (the first one in his life) was probably the lamest most clueless political speech I ever heard. And I am not referring to Biden calling Putin “Clutin” or confusing “deescalation” with “vaccination”, I am talking about the actual contents of his speech. I would sum it up as so: we will continue to constantly hurt and humiliate you, we will treat you like a misbehaving 10 year old in need of a good spanking, but we do want peace and good relations. Clearly, Biden has zero understanding of things Russian. But for “Biden” (collective “Biden”, no the confused veggie) does have a plan. What could it be?
I already explained what the US plan for the Ukraine is: to encourage the Ukronazis to attack Russia while not involving the USA in a shooting war with Russia.
How would the US do that? One example:
First announce with great fanfare that the US is sending 2 (according to some version 5!) USN ship into the Black Sea to “deter” Russia, show “support” to the Ukies and give them the feeling that when they attack they would be under US “cover”. This is not unlike what the USA did with Saakashvili in 08.08.08 or what the USA did during the “Prague Spring”. Frankly, this is an old trick the West has used innumerable times in its history. And once the Ukies feel elated from being under Uncle Shmuel’s protection, quietly withdraw your plan to send any ships into what is de facto a Russian lake.
The US is walking a fine line here – they need to egg on the Ukies to attack, but the Ukies are terrified, so they have to give them as sense of “the world is with you!!”, “we will protect you”, “we will fight with you” and then when things appear to be coming to a head, ditch the Ukies and run to safety. Of course, the united West will support the Ukronazis politically and economically (just to keep the Ukie economy barely alive), but most definitely not militarily as that would create a risk of a devastating war which the US+NATO would either lose or decide to go nuclear, which would be simply suicidal.
There is a chorus profoundly misguided opinions in both Russia and the West which now declares that Biden “blinked”, Russia won and peace will now break out. That is a very naive point of view which mostly comes from not understanding the nature of modern warfare and psychological operations.
Again, what some can see as a zig-zagging “Biden” policy towards Russia mistakenly think that since “Biden” did not promise fire and brimstone for Russia that means that “Biden” folded. That is an extremely dangerous misconception and I am confident that the Russian decision-makers see through this ruse (even while they say nothing about it, at least, those in office and, at least, so far).
Putin has still not announced what counter-measures (I prefer that notion to the idea of counter-sanctions, which are symmetrical) Russia will take next (against the US, UK and Poland primarily). I have no idea what the Kremlin might decide, but I do observe very high levels of outrage and determination in the Russian media (both in the traditional media and the Runet). The Russian society is clearly fed up and, again, Putin if facing a mounting levels of criticisms for being too soft and indecisive. I hope and expect that Russia’s response this time around will be much less meek (and, therefore, ambiguous) than in the past. We will soon find out.
The Saker
UPDATE: just as I was posting this, I saw the Sputnik article about the Russian counter-measures. Frankly, I am utterly unimpressed and I believe that most Russians will feel the same way. Of course, we don’t know what is going on behind the scenes and the Russians are under no obligation to divulge what else they might be doing. However, I believe that measures such as closing the Kerch strait is a much better approach. Let’s wait a few days before passing a final judgement on the quality of the Russian counter measures.
Bad news all around today. The US has just slammed provocative sanctions against Russia even though the US ambassador to Moscow was summoned to the Foreign Ministry and clearly told that if the US imposes more sanctions there will be no meeting between Putin and Biden.
Then there is this: the US has informed the Turkish authorities that they will not send two USN ships into the Black Sea. This is politically a good sign, but in military terms, this is what the US should be doing if they were preparing for war. Why? Because any USN ship in the Black Sea at the moment of the initiation of a conflict would be sunk withing minutes: not only do the Russians have formidable missiles – Bal and Bastion – they had SIX advanced diesel-electric submarines of the 636.3 class ready to “greet” them. Keep in mind that engaging submarines without air cover is another form of collective suicide.
So, the phone call was a deception and the US is still going down the road towards war with Russia.
In my professional opinion, what I see is a joint preparation by the Ukronazis and the USA (along with the UK and Poland) to attack the Donbass and force a conflict upon Russia.
Considering the extreme nature of these developments, I am reopening an open thread.
The Saker
PS: as for the Ukronazis, they have just used their heavy artillery (banned by the Minsk Agreements) to murder another civilian in his home. They were apparently trying to disable an electric station (a typical move by US-trained militaries before an attack).
It is very hard for me to see how a war could be avoided.
UPDATE: Biden has just declared a national emergency in the USA in response to the Russian threat. He will make a special address to the nation tonight.
As Últimas Movimentações Contra a Rússia
(LINHA ABERTA #11) ACTUALIZADA!!!

Hoje há más notícias em todo o lado. Os EUA acabam de impor sanções ostensivas contra a Rússia, apesar do Embaixador dos EUA, em Moscovo, ter sido convocado para comparecer no Ministério dos Negócios Estrangeiros e ter-lhe sido dito claramente, que se os EUA impuserem mais sanções, não haverá uma conferência entre Putin e Biden.
Depois há o seguinte: os EUA informaram as autoridades turcas de que não irão enviar dois navios USN para o Mar Negro. Politicamente, é um bom sinal, mas em termos militares, é o que os EUA deveriam estar a fazer se se estivessem a preparar para a guerra. Porquê? Porque qualquer navio da Marinha Americana no Mar Negro, no momento do início de um conflito, seria afundado em minutos: os russos não têm só mísseis formidáveis - Bal e Bastion - como também SEIS submarinos diesel-eléctricos avançados da classe 636.3 prontos a "cumprimentá-los". Tenham em consideração que o envolvimento de submarinos sem cobertura aérea, é outra forma de suicídio colectivo.
Portanto, o telefonema foi um engodo e os EUA continuam a seguir o caminho da guerra com a Rússia.
De acordo com a minha opinião profissional, o que vejo é uma preparação conjunta dos Ukronazis e dos EUA (juntamente com o Reino Unido e a Polónia) destinada a atacar o Donbass e a forçar um conflito com a Rússia.
Considerando a natureza extrema destes desenvolvimentos, estou a reactivar uma linha aberta.
The Saker
PS: quanto aos Ukronazis, acabam de utilizar a artilharia pesada (proibida pelos Acordos de Minsk) para assassinar outro civil em sua casa. Tentavam, visivelmente, desactivar uma central eléctrica (um movimento típico dos militares treinados pelos EUA antes de um ataque).
Para mim é muito difícil ver como se poderia evitar uma guerra.
ACTUALIZAÇÃO: Biden acaba de declarar uma emergência nacional nos EUA em resposta à ameaça russa. Fará esta noite, um discurso especial à nação.
Os caças americanos F-16, enviados da base de Aviano, estão envolvidos em "operações aéreas complexas" na Grécia, onde ontem começou o exercício Iniochos 21. Pertencem ao 510º Esquadrão de Caças estacionado em Aviano, cuja atribuição está indicada no seu emblema: o símbolo do átomo, com três relâmpagos a atingir a terra, flanqueado pela águia imperial. São aviões de ataque nuclear e que pertencem à Força Aérea Americana na Grécia, que concedeu aos Estados Unidos, em 2020, a utilização de todas as suas bases militares. Também participam no Iniochos 21 os caças bombardeiros F-16 e F-15 de Israel e dos Emirados Árabes Unidos. O exercício ocorre no Mar Egeu, perto da área que compreende o Mar Negro e a Ucrânia, onde se concentra o mega exercício Defender-Europe 21, do exército dos EUA.
Estas e outras manobras militares, que fazem da Europa um importante centro de armamento, criam uma tensão crescente com a Rússia, centrada na Ucrânia. A NATO, depois de ter desagregado a Federação Jugoslava, ao inserir a cunha da guerra nas suas fracturas internas, surge agora como a paladina da integridade territorial da Ucrânia. O Presidente da Comissão Militar da NATO, o Chefe da Força Aérea Real Britânica, Stuart Perch, reunido em Kiev com o Presidente Zelensky e o Chefe do Estado-Maior, Khomchak, declarou que "os aliados da NATO estão unidos na condenação da anexação ilegal da Crimeia pela Rússia e das suas acções agressivas na Ucrânia Oriental".Repetiu assim a versão de que foi a Rússia que anexou à força a Crimeia, ignorando o facto de que foram os russos da Crimeia que decidiram, num referendo, separar-se da Ucrânia e voltar a juntar-se à Rússia para evitar serem atacados, como os russos no Donbass, por batalhões neonazis em Kiev. Os mesmos utilizados em 2014 como força de ataque no putsch da Praça Maidan, desencadeado por franco-atiradores georgianos que dispararam sobre manifestantes e polícias, e em acções posteriores: aldeias submetidas a ferro e fogo, activistas queimados vivos na Câmara do Trabalho de Odessa, civis desarmadosque foram massacrados em Mariupol, bombardeados com fósforo branco em Donetsk e Lugansk. Um golpe de Estado sangrento sob comando USA/NATO, com o objectivo estratégico de provocar uma nova guerra fria na Europa para isolar a Rússia e reforçar, ao mesmo tempo, a influência e a presença militar dos Estados Unidos na Europa.
O conflito no Donbass, cujas populações se auto-organizaram nas Repúblicas de Donetsk e Lugansk com a criação das suas próprias milícias populares, passou por um período de relativo descanso com a abertura das conversações de Minsk para uma solução pacífica. Agora, porém, o governo ucraniano retirou-se das conversações, com o pretexto de que se recusa a ir a Minsk porque a Bielorrússia não é um país democrático. Ao mesmo tempo, as forças de Kiev retomaram os ataques armados ao Donbass. O Chefe do Estado-Maior, Khomchak, que Stuart Perch elogiou em nome da NATO pelo seu "empenho na procura de uma solução pacífica para o conflito", disse que o exército de Kiev "está a preparar-se para a ofensiva na Ucrânia Oriental" e que nessa operação "está planeada a participação de aliados da NATO".
Não surpreende que o conflito no Donbass se tenha reacendido quando, sob a administração Biden, Antony Blinken assumiu o cargo de Secretário de Estado. De ascendência ucraniana, foi o principal orientador do Putch da Praça Maidan, na qualidade de Vice-Conselheiro da Segurança Nacional na Administração Obama-Biden. Como Subsecretária de Estado, Biden nomeou Victoria Nuland, em 2014, directora assistente da operação americana, com um custo superior a 5 biliões de dólares, para estabelecer na Ucrânia, a "boa governação" (como ela própria declarou). Não está excluído que nesta altura tenham um plano: promover uma ofensiva das forças de Kiev no Donbass, apoiadas de facto, pela NATO. Isto colocaria Moscovo perante uma escolha que, de qualquer modo, seria vantajosa para Washington: deixar que as populações russas do Donbass fossem massacradas, ou intervir militarmente em seu apoio. Brinca-se com o fogo, não em sentidofigurado, acendendo a mecha de uma bomba no coração da Europa.
Will We Be Destroyed in War Before We Lose Our Civil Liberty to the Establishment’s Orchestrated “Covid Pandemic”?
Paul Craig Roberts
Americans have few sources of reliable information except for a handful of websites that few know anything about.Americans are unaware that the low-grade morons currently ruling and disinforming them from Washington have given an American military guarantee to the neo-nazis installed in Ukraine with Washington’s “Maidan Revolution.” The Ukraine government, if that is what it is, has, in effect, declared war on Russia, vowing to retake Crimea and the Donbass Republics.
I never thought any government would prove to be as stupid as the British government that in 1939 gave a military guarantee to Poland that caused the Polish military dictatorship to break off discussions with Germany about returning German territory and people stolen by the Versailles Treaty.This British guarantee was the cause of World War II.
Now the Washington idiots have one-upped the British idiots.They have given a military guarantee to a Ukrainian government as stupid as Poland’s in 1939.If the American puppets in Ukraine believe the American “guarantee” and act on it, Ukraine will cease to exist as an independent country.If Washington gets involved, the US will cease to exist.
How can it be that people are so stupid as to get in such a situation?
As I have emphasized for years, part of the dangerous situation of which few are aware is the fault of the Kremlin. President Putin, Foreign Minister Lavrov and their spokespersons have responded to Washingtons’s insults and provocative actions in a lighthearted manner in order to avoid escalating a situation provoked by the warmongers in Washington.We have to respect the Russian leadership for this.However, to Washington the responsible Kremlin response is misinterpreted as a lack of backbone.
Washington is so confident of its intimidating military power that it has sent two warships into the Russian Black Sea as a warning to Russia in the event Ukraine renews its attacks on Donbass.Washington miscalculated the Russian response, which was not passive. Russia said Washington should remove its warships “for their own protection.”
If you look into the eyes of Russian Defense Minister Sergey Shoigu,you are looking into eyes willing and able to destroy you.If you look into the eyes of Biden, Kamala, Austin, Blinkin, you are looking into eyes that hate white patriotic Americans.The Woke Regime in Washington is powerless against Shoigu who can walk through woke creatures easier than walking through wet paper bags.
Washington might misread Putin as lacking in intestinal fortitude, but it is impossible to repeat this mistake with Shoigu. The Russian Defense Minister announded on April 13 that sufficient Russian military was activated to deal with Ukraine, NATO, and the Americans.If they want a bloody nose, he will be certain that they get one and more.
Shoigu understands that this is the only way to deal with the “exceptional, indispensable” people who regard hegemony as their right.Shoigu says if you test your hegemony on the battlefield with us, Russia will show you just how unexceptional you are.
Russia holds all the cards unless Putin and Lavrov again give in to the Western-worshiping Russian Atlanticists Integrationists.It is a mystery that Putin cannot free himself of these traitors. Stalin would have executed every one of them.They are a fifth column within Russia, and they are Washington’s hope. If Washington prevails over Russia, it will be because of the Russian fifth column—the Atlanticist Integrationists.
Without the support of the armed services, no government has power.Unlike Biden who is purging the best elements of the US military, Putin understands that in the face of Western hostility, the Russian military is the decisive entity.
Shoigu announced that the Russian military is in full readiness and in full ability to dispose of any threat from any quarter.
Can the low-grade morons ruling in Washington understand the language?
Vírus. É como os filhos de um pai. Não se pode ter um filho a aparecer por si mesmo. Tem de vir de algum lugar.
E, neste caso, há cinco tipos dos chamados pais. E só os EUA têm os cinco.
A Coreia e Taiwan tinham uma variedade. Na verdade, a mesma que a Inglaterra. A China tinha uma variedade totalmente diferente das outras. Era muito mais letal do que a da Coreia.
E países diferentes tinham tipos diferentes.
O Irão e a Itália sequenciaram as suas variedades e descobriram que eram diferentes do que havia na China, pelo que as suas infecções não vinham da China. Vieram de outro lugar.
Mas o outro lugar só poderia ter sido os EUA, porque era o único lugar onde estas variedades existiam.

Discurso do Presidente da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, na manhã do dia 24 de Fevereiro de 2022
Discurso do Presidente da Rússia, Vladimir Putin, Tradução em português
Presidente da Rússia, Vladimir Putin: Cidadãos da Rússia, Amigos,
Considero ser necessário falar hoje, de novo, sobre os trágicos acontecimentos em Donbass e sobre os aspectos mais importantes de garantir a segurança da Rússia.
Começarei com o que disse no meu discurso de 21 de Fevereiro de 2022. Falei sobre as nossas maiores responsabilidades e preocupações e sobre as ameaças fundamentais que os irresponsáveis políticos ocidentais criaram à Rússia de forma continuada, com rudeza e sem cerimónias, de ano para ano. Refiro-me à expansão da NATO para Leste, que está a aproximar cada vez mais as suas infraestruturas militares da fronteira russa.
É um facto que, durante os últimos 30 anos, temos tentado pacientemente chegar a um acordo com os principais países NATO, relativamente aos princípios de uma segurança igual e indivisível, na Europa. Em resposta às nossas propostas, enfrentámos invariavelmente, ou engano cínico e mentiras, ou tentativas de pressão e de chantagem, enquanto a aliança do Atlântico Norte continuou a expandir-se, apesar dos nossos protestos e preocupações. A sua máquina militar está em movimento e, como disse, aproxima-se da nossa fronteira.
Porque é que isto está a acontecer? De onde veio esta forma insolente de falar que atinge o máximo do seu excepcionalismo, infalibilidade e permissividade? Qual é a explicação para esta atitude de desprezo e desdém pelos nossos interesses e exigências absolutamente legítimas?
