Europe is Teetering on the Brink

 

The NATO summit sent a message that no one wants to hear. Europe is openly declaring war on Russia—and it’s doing so with President Trump’s full support.

ROB SLANE -- When Fanatical Ideology Bumps up Against Stone Cold Reality

  When Fanatical Ideology Bumps up Against Stone Cold Reality 

 

 March 13, 2022  Rob Slane 

 

 

I have avoided writing anything on recent events in Ukraine thus far, partly because I wanted to see how events were panning out, partly because I still don’t quite understand how this all fits in with the two year Globalist PsyOp that ended abruptly on 24^th February – the same day as the Russian military operation started, as coincidence would have it – but mainly because the experience of trying to write rational analysis in the midst of propaganda that would have made the editors of Pravda blush is no easy task.

As a brief defence against those who will inevitably smear my attempts to analyse the context behind all this as somehow pro-Russian, let me ask them not to bother. I really don’t even understand the frame of reference, since I don’t view the world in the absurd black hat/white hat terms that lead to such jibes. And in any case, I am pro-God and pro-Truth, as well as being a patriotic Englishman who writes on such topics because he believes this once green and pleasant land is now run by terminally foolish clowns and Globalist ideologues who do not govern for the people but in the interests of others. I would also point out that I was writing about atrocities committed against Ukrainians years before it became fashionable to do so. However, unfortunately it seems I was supporting the wrong Ukrainians — the ones nobody cares about — in the Donbass, who have been killed, terrorised and forced to leave the country by their own brutal Government for eight years, with some even deliberately burned alive by the neo-Nazis formations that apparently don’t exist. Those caveats aside, let’s press on.

For most Westerners, it appears that the current conflict suddenly dropped from the sky one morning in February 2022. They woke up to hear about a Russian invasion, and without any prior knowledge or context, having been denied this for years by their so-called free press, simply accepted the narrative thrown at them that this invasion was utterly unprovoked — the brainchild of a madman who wishes to recreate Hammer and Sickle Land again.

None of this is remotely true. Whatever the actual reasons for invading at this particular time — and I don’t believe for one moment that we have the full picture yet — this conflict most certainly did not drop out of the sky or from the ravings of a lunatic on 24^th February 2022. No, it is part of a sequence of events that was set off years ago, particularly in 2014, which were clearly destined to reshape the world. As I wrote back in September 2014:

“I believe this crisis to be the defining crisis of the 21st Century so far. … It is also something that may well define the shape of the planet for the rest of the century — whether we are left with a unipolar world … or whether we see a new multipolar world emerging … It is in a very real sense the key battle between globalisation and national sovereignty.”

Durante a História recente, poucas guerras foram geradas devido a ambições políticas ou territoriais. Na História Moderna, quase todas as guerras lançadas pelo Ocidente, incluindo a Guerra Civil dos Estados Unidos e as duas Grandes Guerras Mundiais, foram guerras de banqueiros, incitadas, instigadas e financiadas pelos poderes financeiros da Europa. Anatole France, o romancista francês vencedor do Prémio Nobel, escreveu certa vez: "Você acredita que está a morrer pela pátria -  morre por alguns industriais." Podemos recordar, neste ponto, o General Smedley Butler e as suas afirmações de que as guerras eram só sobre dinheiro, sobre abrir as portas à força para que os capitalistas e os banqueiros saciassem a sua ambição desmedida.

 

 “Passei 33 anos na Marinha, a maior parte do tempo, sendo um guarda-costas de alto gabirito do ‘Big Business’  (dos Grandes Negócios), da Wall Street e dos banqueiros. Em suma, eu era um criminoso, um assassino às ordens do capitalismo. Esta factura apresenta uma contabilidade horrível. Lápides recém-colocadas, corpos mutilados. Mentes despedaçadas. Corações e lares destroçados. Instabilidade económica. Impostos pesados durante gerações e gerações. "A guerra era, em grande parte, uma questão de dinheiro. Os banqueiros emprestam dinheiro aos países estrangeiros e, quando eles não conseguem pagar, o Presidente envia os fuzileiros navais para fazerem a cobrança. Eu sei - estive em onze dessas expedições. "

 

Não faltam exemplos de empresas multinacionais ocidentais a cometer atrocidades económicas - e humanas - somente para obter mais lucro. Será que perdoamos essas atrocidades porque os atacantes eram brancos, democratas e acreditavam num mercado livre? Ouçam algumas algumas vozes além da minha, sobre o tema do governo dos Estados Unidos e da criminalidade empresarial. Thomas Friedman, escreveu no New York Times: "A mão oculta do mercado nunca funcionará sem um punho oculto - o McDonald's não pode evoluir sem McDonnell Douglas ..." Philip Agee, um antigo agente da CIA, publicou um livro intitulado ‘Diário da CIA’, no qual escreveu: "O capitalismo americano baseado na exploração dos pobres, com a sua motivação fundamentada na ganância pessoal, não pode sobreviver,  simplesmente, sem a utilização da força." John Maynard Keynes, talvez o economista mais influente da História, disse: "O capitalismo é a crença extraordinária de que os homens mais perversos, motivados pelos motivos mais desumanos, trabalharão, de alguma forma, para o benefício de todos."

 The Bankers' Private Army

By Larry Romanoff, November 08, 2020

 Few wars of recent history have been generated by politics or territorial ambitions. Almost all wars launched by the West in the earth's modern history, including the US Civil War and both World Wars, have been bankers' wars, incited, instigated and financed by the financial powers of Europe. Anatole France, the Nobel Prize-winning French novelist, once wrote, "You believe you are dying for the fatherland - you die for some industrialists." We can be reminded here of General Smedley Butler, and his claims that wars were all about money, about forcibly opening the doors for capitalists and bankers to satiate their greed.

 

"I spent 33 years in the Marines, most of my time being a high-class muscle-man for Big Business, for Wall Street and for the Bankers. In short, I was a racketeer, a gangster for capitalism. The general public shoulders the bill. This bill renders a horrible accounting. Newly placed gravestones, Mangled bodies. Shattered minds. Broken hearts and homes. Economic instability. Back-breaking taxation for generations and generations. "War was largely a matter of money. Bankers lend money to foreign countries and when they cannot repay the President sends Marines to get it. I know - I've been in eleven of these expeditions."

Humanity at the Crossroads

Connecting the Dots to Our Brave New World 

By  Larry Romanoff

ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL  PORTUGUÊS

Humankind is at a cusp, a point of transition between two different states of governance and existence. The world today is like a sack being slowly filled while the string around the opening is pulled increasingly tighter to prevent the contents from escaping confinement. The shadows of this future are everywhere to be seen but even the keenest of observers tend to view the portents not as the warnings they are, but instead regard all these pieces of one despairing puzzle as disconnected and unrelated events. In this essay, we will take a look at where our world is going, how it is going there, and why it is going there.

For, dark and despairing, my sight I may seal, but man cannot hide what God would reveal. 

‘Tis the sunset of life gives me mystical lore,and coming events cast their shadow before. (1)

One needn’t be credentialed as either prophet or oracle to make the connections and expose the plan. It is another matter entirely to convince average readers of the truth of it. German philosopher Arthur Schopenhauer wrote that all truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident. We are midway between the first and second stages, where proponents of exposure are still widely ridiculed but, if they gain a popular audience, they will be violently attacked.

Where we are going – One World Government

Lest we succumb to the temptation of dismissing this as yet another batty conspiracy theory, it would be wise to consider these quotes:

David Rockefeller in an address to the Trilateral Commission, referring to the Bilderberg Group, whose existence was hotly denied and derided for decades as just another conspiracy theory:

“We are grateful to the Washington Post, the New York Times, Time magazine and other great publications whose directors have attended our meetings and respected the promises of discretion for almost forty years. It would have been impossible for us to develop our plan for the world if we had been subject to the bright lights of public scrutiny during those years. But, the world is now more sophisticated and fully prepared to march towards our one world-government. The supranational sovereignty of our intellectual elites and world bankers is surely preferable to the globe as a whole.” (2)

A Humanidade numa Encruzilhada 

Relacionando os acontecimentos com o nosso Admirável Mundo Novo

ENGLISH  ESPAÑOL  PORTUGUÊS

A Humanidade está no topo, num ponto de transição entre dois estados diferentes de governação e de existência. O mundo de hoje é como um saco que está a ser enchido lentamente enquanto a corda ao redor da abertura está cada vez mais apertada para impedir que o conteúdo escape do confinamento. As sombras deste futuro estão em toda parte para serem vistas, mas até o mais perspicaz dos observadores tende a ver os presságios  não como os avisos que são, mas considera todas estas peças de um quebra-cabeças desesperante como sendo acontecimentos separados e não relacionados. Neste ensaio, veremos para onde o nosso mundo se está a encaminhar.

Por mais sombria e angustiante que possa ser a minha visão, o homem não pode esconder o que Deus irá revelar.

Este pôr-do-sol da vida dá-me uma história mística,

e os acontecimentos futuros projectam a sua sombra antecipadamente.(1)

Não é preciso ser profeta ou oráculo para fazer as ligações e expor o plano. Outra questão é convencer os leitores comuns da verdade dos factos. O filósofo alemão Arthur Schopenhauer escreveu que toda a verdade passa por três fases. Na primeira, é ridicularizada. Na segunda, é violentamente contrariada. Na terceira, é aceite como evidente por si mesma. Estamos a meio caminho entre a primeira e a segunda fase, onde os defensores da exposição ainda são amplamente ridicularizados, mas, se conquistarem um auditório progressista, serão violentamente atacados.

Para onde vamos – Governo Mundial Único

Para não sucumbirmos à tentação de considerar este assunto como mais uma teoria da conspiração extravagante, será sensato considerar estas citações:

David Rockefeller, num discurso perante a Comissão Trilateral, referindo-se ao Grupo Bilderberg, cuja existência foi negada com veemência e ridicularizada durante décadas como sendo, apenas, mais uma teoria da conspiração:

“Estamos gratos ao Washington Post, ao New York Times, à revista Time e a outras grandes publicações cujos directores compareceram às nossas reuniões e respeitaram as promessas de discrição durante quase quarenta anos. Seria impossível desenvolvermos o nosso plano para o mundo se estivéssemos sujeitos,  durante todos estes anos, às luzes brilhantes da investigação minuciosa do público. Mas agora o mundo está mais sofisticado e totalmente preparado para marchar em direcção ao nosso governo mundial único. A soberania supranacional das nossas elites e dos banqueiros do mundo é, indubitavelmente, preferível para o globo como um todo.”(2)

La humanidad se encuentra en una cúspide, en un punto de transición entre dos estados diferentes de gobierno y de existencia.

Las sombras de este futuro se ven por todas partes, pero incluso los observadores más perspicaces tienden a ver los presagios, no como las advertencias que son, sino que consideran todas estas piezas de un desesperado rompecabezas como acontecimientos desconectados y no relacionados entre sí.

Porque, oscuro y desesperado, mi vista puedo sellar, pero el hombre no puede ocultar lo que Dios revelaría. 

El atardecer de la vida me da una tradición mística, y los eventos venideros proyectan antes su sombra. (1)

EN -- Manlio Dinuci -- ‘The atomic bomb is immoral and criminal’: bipartisan silence greets in Italy the pope’s comment

‘The atomic bomb is immoral and criminal’: bipartisan silence greets in Italy the pope’s comment

Manlio Dinucci Μάνλιο Ντινούτσι مانلیو دینوچی مانليو دينوتشي
Traduzido por  John Catalinotto

Institutional Italy is silent, but in Ghedi and Aviano Air Bases 70 U.S. nuclear bombs are stored. And new ones are about to arrive.   Italy’s politicians and corporate media, usually eloquent about any news concerning the Pope, greeted with the silence of the tomb the words pronounced by Francis on Nov. 24 in Hiroshima and Nagasaki: “The use of atomic energy for war purposes is, today more than ever, a crime. The possession of atomic weapons is immoral.” These words are embarrassing for the leaders of Italy’s institutions. Like the ones who preceeded them, these leaders are responsible for the fact that Italy, a non-nuclear country in words, is in reality a country that houses and is prepared to use U.S. atomic weapons. This reality is in violation of the Non-Proliferation Treaty to which Italy has formally committed, and which prohibits militarily non-nuclear states from receiving nuclear weapons and from having direct or indirect control over them. This is an even more serious violation because Italy, as a NATO member, has refused to adhere to the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons voted by a large majority by the General Assembly of the UN. This treaty commits the signatory States to neither produce nor possess nuclear weapons, to neither use nor threaten to use them, nor to transfer or receive them directly or indirectly; the objective of these rules is the total elimination of nuclear weapons. What is embarrassing for Italy’s rulers is the question that Pope Francis asked in Hiroshima: “How can we speak of peace while we build new and formidable weapons of war?” In Italy there are currently about 70 nuclear bombs, all of the B61 model, but the new and deadlier U.S. nuclear bombs B61-12 (a number not yet widely known) are about to be deployed on Italian territory in place of the current B-61. The B61-12 has a nuclear warhead with four selectable power options. When launched, the operators can choose the  power of the explosion according to the target to be hit. Unlike the B61, released vertically upon the target, the B61-12 is launched remotely and guided by a satellite system. It also has the ability to penetrate the subsoil, even through reinforced concrete, exploding deep underground to destroy the bunkers of command centers and underground structures, so as to “decapitate” the enemy country in a first nuclear strike. More embarrassing is the pope’s other question: “How can we propose peace if we continually use nuclear war threats as a legitimate means of conflict resolution?” Italy, as a member of NATO, endorsed Trump’s decision to cancel the INF Treaty, signed in 1987 by Presidents Mikhail Gorbachev and Ronald Reagan, which had made it possible to eliminate all the intermediate range ground-based nuclear missiles deployed in Europe, including those installed in Comiso [Sicily, Italy]. The U.S. developed new ground-based intermediate range nuclear missiles, both cruise and ballistic (these are capable of hitting targets within minutes of launch), to be deployed against Russia in Europe, certainly placed also in Italy, and in Asia against China. Russia has warned that, if these weapons are deployed in Europe, it will aim its nuclear missiles at the territories where they are installed. Nuclear powers possess a total of about 15,000 nuclear warheads. More than 90 percent of the nuclear warheads belong to the United States and Russia. Each of these two countries has about 7,000 such weapons. The other countries in possession of nuclear warheads are France (300), China (270), Great Britain (215), Pakistan (120-130), India (110-120), Israel (80), North Korea (10-20). Five additional countries − Italy, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands and Turkey − together have about 150 U.S. nuclear warheads deployed on their territory. However, the arms race again underway is taking place not so much in terms of quantity as in terms of quality, i.e., finding effective launch platforms and increasing the offensive capabilities of the nuclear warheads. And when Pope Francis affirms that the use of nuclear energy for war purposes is “a crime not only against humanity and its dignity, but against every possibility of future in our common home,” he is saying that nuclear war endangers the future of the Earth. That’s why those engaged in the defense of the environment should speak up, because the most serious threat to the living environment on the planet is nuclear war. Thus their priority should be the complete elimination of atomic bombs. Will the warning of Pope Francis now be heard in the Church and among Catholics − those who in Japan are in the front line against any rearmament and reform of the Peace Constitution?
