The citizens of Russia were maimed and murdered on orders from western banking cartel and mega-corporations BlackRock, Vanguard, StateStreet. The maiming and murder of civilians was conducted via the activities of the identifiable persons like Nuland-Kagan, Blinken, Johnson, Starmer, Duda, von der Leyen, the dishonorable NATO commanders, the judaized Kievan junta which is awash in the US/EU cash, and other collective bidens, obamas, clintons... These war criminals must be punished. No time limits. A public hearing investigating who exactly among the banking cartel / mega corporations have demanded the War on Russia is the only way to heal this wound affecting the whole humanity.

The same approach should be applied to jewish genociders. The ongoing ethnic cleansing of Palestinians (children and women are the preferable targets for israeli psychopathic idiots in Knesset and IDF) is a huge and stinky stain on global jewry, particularly considering that jews still shamelessly use the fraudulent shoah-biz schema. The RedCross records re WWII must become widely available.

This about Greenland is bad news maybe. Could it be that the indigenes would therefore gladly want to be american? Could it be that the 'world' would see it that way: that they'd be better of as american?

Could it be that the world, Denmark and usa would see greenland should belong to the indigenes? I rather doubt that. So what's the best to hope for?

the best would be to let them have the land, and to stop the meddling on the part of the colonialists - denmark and usa..

Yep. It is 88% Inuit I think so there's no ethnicity problem and though it's not quite self supporting right now I think it could be in the future; seems to have much mineral wealth inc. oil & gas. Yep. Let the Kalaallit have their own land. I hope they're not dumb enough to vote to be american. they'll just become another indian reservation.

I like Maria Zakharova’s waspish wit.

“foggy Albion”, “no need to pay”—the 100-year partnership is a blank cheque with the name of the bank on which it is to be drawn also blank.

Re Greenland: “Does this remind you of anything?” Not only Ukraine/Russia, but also historically Canada abusing its native people. Taking away children to Canadify them.

“Pretentious, but about nothing.” —Starmer’s epitaph

“… it was necessary to develop joint ventures in Ukraine itself.” Send in the vulture capitalists.

The Poznan: In European football, the collective gesture of a section of fans turning their backs on play and jumping up and down, sometimes in anticipated triumph. Perhaps in this context a declaration of intention to desert.

Native Americans had to leave the reservation in order to vote before 1924.

My son is involved in an effort to preserve some of the indigenous traditions of North East India. The particular focus is on musical instruments made from local materials, people singing ancient songs, few if any festivals reinforcing ancient practices. Indigenous instrument makers are dying off without replacements. Children are not learning the musical tradition of their own area. They have not learned the songs or participated in festivals celebrating their traditions. There has been strong support of some Indians, some of whom think this kind of material should be taught to young people across India including reviving the local

heritages. There are 22 official languages in India. In parallel with endangered species, this brand new effort could be an effort to protect the endangered cultural heritage. Historically Assam was attacked 17 times by the Mongols but never conquered Assam. Modi is now focusing on development in these areas with bulldozers.

The NY Times list of 52 places to travel in 2025 and North East India is #4. My daughter in law is from Assam. From the NY Times

"Assam, a hilly state near the borders with Myanmar and Bangladesh, has long been a gateway to Northeast India, a remote, culturally distinct and comparatively crowd-free region that hangs as if by a thread from the country’s mainland. Now, the area is seeing both more international recognition and increased accessibility. In 2024, the Charaideo Moidams, or Pyramids of Assam, were inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage site. These ancient burial mounds, constructed during the Ahom dynasty between the 13th and 19th centuries, offer a unique glimpse into the region’s royal legacy and spiritual essence. Travelers can also visit the state’s world-famous tea gardens and Kaziranga National Park, where endangered one-horned rhinoceros can be found. Improved infrastructure, including new roads, makes getting there even easier; an airport that serves Guwahati, Assam’s largest city, is set for a major expansion in 2025 that will quadruple its capacity and allow it to establish stronger links throughout the region.

By the end of the SMO I'm wondering if there will be a UK, let alone finding someone stupid enough to want to be PM.

Censorship by the Biden Administration of Rob Urie, an independent journalist

Because of following the "pandemic" I am well aware of attacks on doctors, and other stuff like censorship from medical journals which is continuing to the present.

Rob's substack was republished on Naked Capitalism. Substack linked and first 2 paragraphs.

"The Journal of Belligerent Pontification. The Journal of Belligerent Pontification

Note: On Being Censored for the Last Four Years: Lessons from Orwell.

"The timing is important here. The US State Department was run by Secretary of State Antony Blinken for all four years of the Biden administration. Upon entering office, Biden immediately began making preparations for war with Russia, including shutting down Russian-language news outlets in Ukraine--- just as the CIA’s army in Ukraine was launching another round of ethnic cleansing against Russian-speaking Ukrainians in Eastern Ukraine.

I had written about energy geopolitics from the time that the US assumed control of the Ukrainian state in a US-led coup there in 2014. Readers are invited to listen to the linked phone call (above) from 2014 between US Undersecretary for European Affairs, Victoria Nuland, and US Ambassador to the UK, Geoffrey Pyatt, and decide for yourselves. The political yeas and nays that they discuss in the call all became official policy in Ukraine in subsequent years."

I was just informed about this huge info and will have an article up shortly:

Putin: "I cannot but agree with him that if he had been President, if his victory had not been stolen in 2020, then maybe there would not have been the crisis in Ukraine that arose in 2022."

That was said this evening in Moscow.

«the UK role in the ongoing Anti-Russian War it began in the 1840s becomes much clearer with Starmer’s antics.»

Oldies but goldies:

“The dogs of war are loose, and the ragged Russian Bear, / Full bent on blood and robbery, has crawl'd out of his lair; / It seems a thrashing now and then, will never help to tame / That brute, and so he's out upon the "same old game."

The Lion did his best to find him some excuse / To crawl back to his den again, all efforts were no use; / He hunger'd for his victim, he's pleased when blood is shed,

But let us hope his crimes may all recoil on his own head.

REFRAIN:

We don't want to fight but by jingo if we do, / We've got the ships, we've got the men, and got the money too! / We've fought the Bear before and while we're Britons true

The Russians shall not have Constantinople.”

The last line explains much: Constantinople would allow the russian empire to easily threaten the main "passage to India" route (Gibraltar, Malta, Cyprus, Alexandria, Aden, Ghawar, Bombay) and the english imperial strategists much preferred for Constantinople to belong to the falling ottoman empire than to the rising russian empire. Now the UK no longer needs a passage to India route, but there that is still the route to import oil and gas from the Gulf or products from China and Japan.
