Crooke Elaborates with Judge Napolitano and Other Items

During their chat this morning, Crooke elaborated on the points raised in his Al-Mayadeen column, most importantly the grave fiscal situation the EU faces thanks to its Ukraine policy and submission to the attacks on it by the Outlaw US Empire. That was revealed during the last ten minutes of the 32-minute chat. Lots of other content was also explored that could be arranged under a political umbrella. Blowback from the Russian release of the German intercept was discussed with the Judge asking for Crooke to confirm that US troops along with others from NATO are actively making war on Russia, which ought to be obvious to all and to which Crooke affirmed. There’s been additional feedback some of which was revealed by Larry Johnson on his blog late yesterday:

Let’s start with the panic and furor that is shaking NATO. The publication on Friday of the intercepted conversation of four German military officers discussing plans to attack Russia has ignited a firestorm in Europe, especially in Germany. One of my German contacts sent me the following:

This topic went viral in Germany. The whole country is alarmed by these leaks. Scholz is in total panic……and Pistorius is in total denial…..he claims that nobody knows where the Generals were at the time their call was taped.

This is a blatant lie. The audio clearly reveals that one of them was in Singapore on a trip. All of them seemed to have been in hotel rooms while this call was recorded. 

Scholz is in panic and crying for an investigation, because if push comes to shove, the opposition can kick him out of office with a vote of non confidence. In this instance, they would get enough votes from his own party the SPD and the other coalition parties to form a simple majority needed. 

This is the worst publicity Germany could ever get, because now it gets clear that we have a government that is willing to destroy Germany at the will of Washington.

Biden and the NeoCons do not only hate the Russians, they also hate the Germans.

I really want to make sure the American people get to know about this plot. If this nonsense continues, Germany will be run by the AFD with absolute majority. 

I want TCN [Tucker Carlson Network] to take this topic to the American people and humiliate the sitting German government in front of the whole f…. world……and I want TC to expose the doings of Washington with Germany. [Format Original]

As Crooke notes, the longstanding Left/Right political divisions are no longer tenable. The German AfD is being smeared as far right because it’s the biggest threat to the Neoliberal Pro-NATO/Pro-EU parties, and in a different context would be considered Leftist, which still is incorrect. The closest term I find to describe it is similar to how I describe United Russia—Progressive Conservative. It’s indicative that the Judge showed a clip from George Galloway’s victory speech as being emblematic of this political shift happening within the West. And yes, what the local elections within Occupied Palestine showed that its society has become more extremist as the Genocidal parties made gains. The Judge’s description of Zionists was spot-on.

The power TCN is perceived to have now is also important. IMO, as with all major Outlaw US Empire media, its content must be very severely vetted for veracity. I should note that many Team Putin members are in Sochi for the World Youth Festival where Lavrov, Medvedev and Zakharova have all delivered important statements to those gathered at their scheduled workshops. Lavrov’s will rate its own article, while Zakharova made the following comments to the media on the sidelines:

“As we now understand, they have not been fully denazified,” Zakharova told reporters on the sidelines of the World Youth Festival (WYF 2024) in Sochi.

“If nothing is done, if this process is not stopped by the German people themselves, this will lead first of all to dire consequences for Germany itself,” she added. [Emphasis Original]

Medvedev’s presentation, “Geographical and strategic boundaries,” was made today which a synopsis in English was provided by the organizers:

Dmitry Medvedev said that Russia today is fulfilling a special, fateful mission in the global world, there is no doubt that this mission will be fulfilled. And he noted that Russia’s opponents should make it clear to themselves that the Russian Federation does not need someone else’s land, but it will not give up its own.

“We don’t need someone else’s land, but we will never give up ours, so it was, and so it will be. Our history has proven this more than once. This is the principle by which our state border policy is based,” said Dmitry Medvedev.

He recalled that at the end of March it will be 210 years since the capture of Paris by Russian troops.

“Having established order in Europe, we then achieved a change of power in Paris to one acceptable for ourselves - the Russian Empire - and for our allies, and then returned with unfurled banners to our home. Nobly paying off the debts of even the last Parisian innkeeper. We have never gone so far to the West either before or since. Why did we even need this? It was necessary to defeat the enemy and eliminate the direct military threat,” explained Dmitry Medvedev.

He also told the lecturers that the security of Russia’s borders for a long time can be ensured only by ensuring the stability of the situation outside the direct perimeter formed by the state’s border pillars.

Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev, speaking about the special operation in Ukraine, noted that this is a special case, we are not talking about expanding the borders of Russia by occupation. Russia’s actions in Ukraine are a forced but effective response “to the Russophobic policies of the Bandera regime and the collective West.”

He believes that the concept of “Ukraine is not Russia” should disappear forever; Ukraine is, of course, Russia. “Once one of the former leaders of Ukraine said that Ukraine is not Russia. This concept must disappear forever. Ukraine is, of course, Russia,” said Dmitry Medvedev.

“Attempts to ignore Russian public opinion should also fall into oblivion. It rightly considers Ukraine and its population part of our all-Russian civilization,” added Dmitry Medvedev.

And he noted that the territories on both banks of the Dnieper are part of Russian strategic and historical borders, so attempts to change them by force and cut them off “to the quick” are failed.

According to him, weakening countries have strategic borders within their own territories, and under unfavorable conditions this can lead to loss of land.

“Weakening countries have strategic borders within their own territories, as they say, feel the difference. Under unfavorable conditions, these boundaries can be reduced to a minimum. As a result, this leads to the loss of lands that are left without real control,” said the Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council.

He also recalled that many empires disappeared in this way. Thus, the Spanish colonial empire disappeared, and Portugal's rule on different continents ended. “These countries have turned into states unable to influence key global decisions”, added Dmitry Medvedev.

At the same time, he noted that Russia does not dictate anything to neighboring states, does not apply sanctions to them, and is open to dialogue with them.

“The near abroad countries, as a concept, is not just a figure of speech, but a reflection of the essence, a key point. We have no territorial disputes with the states included in this list. Over the years since the collapse of the USSR, we have maintained profitable trade cooperation and comfortable interpersonal communication with them. Let me note that Russia does not dictate political will to its good neighbors, does not tell them how to live, does not threaten sanctions,” said Dmitry Medvedev.

According to him, the Russian Federation and neighboring countries listen to each other and always try to take into account their deep-seated interests in the broadest sense.

“We listen to any requests from our close friends, our neighbors. We are always open to dialogue with responsible leaders and political elites who respect and warmly treat our common traditional spiritual and moral values, contribute to the harmonious development and protection of the rights of the Russian-speaking population of their countries,” he added.

I’ll try to find the entire presentation as well as Zakharova’s, which takes place tomorrow. Lavrov’s 90-minute Q&A didn’t leave much room for questions given his very long, detailed answers. It will soon become available. Again, there’re many events happening at the World Youth Festival: “The most striking presentations of lecturers can be seen on the 24-hour media channel https://russia.znanierussia.ru/tv/Znanie.TV.”

It appears Medvedev is preparing the Russian and global public for the eventuality of Russia reclaiming its historical lands within the artificial state of Ukraine and assuring them via his Napoleon analogy that is being done for the specific purpose of removing a dire security threat to Russia and its people. Within that is a warning to NATO that it will get the Napoleon treatment if it continues to use Ukie forces to attack Russians and Russia, which uses Putin’s Leap Day Address somewhat differently and makes its meaning easier for youth and deranged European politicos to understand. Medvedev also makes clear the so-called Zelensky Formula is dead:

“The territories on both banks of the Dnieper River are an inalienable part of Russian strategic historic borders.”
