First, a clip for one of my patrons, who really doesn’t like China. It’s potential good news from that perspective.
China Has 10 Years Left, Says Geopolitical Analyst
Right after watching that one, this one was suggested to me.
The Reasons Russia Invaded Ukraine
It’s pretty basic and obvious stuff to anyone who is paying close attention, but potentially useful to consumers of primarily mainstream media, like CNN, and what I heard someone refer to yesterday as “National Petroleum Radio”. (I don’t remember for sure, but I think Max Blumenthal gets the credit for that one, which made me laugh.)
Both those clips have the perq of introducing you briefly to Joe Rogan, who was never the monster he was made out to be, back when he had the audacity to discuss his own experience with The Virus, and explain the course of treatment he embarked on in consultation with his doctor.
The Establishment was furious with him for only being sick for one day, you’ll recall. His positions look better and better as time goes by–as we learn that the vax was mostly useless, except as a profit center–as we acquire the data about its too-often brutal side effects.
It’s a topsy-turvy world these days.
Nowhere is there better evidence for that than in recent events in Germany.
The Foreign Minister, the chief diplomat of that esteemed nation is a woman named Annalena Baerbock. Like Krysten Sinema, she’s a former leader in the Green Party who has remade herself into the worst kind of shitlib within a militantly (neo-lib, atlantacist, neo-con, take your pick) government.
In a speech justifying Germany’s belatedly caving to US pressure to send German tanks to Ukraine, she said, quote:
“We are fighting a war against Russia.”
It was a horrible, blundering, undiplomatic gaffe. It was saying the quiet truth out loud and changing the terms of the geopolitical game. I can’t find any mention of it in the big American press, naturally, but as the link suggests, people around the world are taking this ‘declaration’ of war extremely seriously. As they should.
It wasn’t so very long ago that Germany really did declare war on Russia. Everyone knows how it turned out. Baerbock’s statement can be and is being read as an acknowledgement that World War III has already started; that this new war doesn’t need to be modified with adjectives like “cold” or “proxy”. Even if it may someday be preceded by “nuclear”.
The famous doomsday clock of the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists was moved the other day to ‘ninety seconds to midnight’, the worst it’s ever EVER been.
These motherfuckers are not going to be satisfied until we all pay the ultimate price for their bullshit and feel the warm glow of becoming literal hiroshima babies.
Have a nice day, and don’t forget to vote!
