A WINTERY COLD BETWEEN POLAND AND UKRAINE

(posted by Frenchie)

 Poland, which until recently was one of the strongest ally of Ukraine, suddenly woke up to the reality of who were the leaders of the neighboring country. The Yaroslav Hunk scandal during Zelinsky's visit to the Canadian parliament has set a wildfire in Poland, that nobody can extinguish.

The whole spectrum of the Polish political class has risen in anger and condemnation of the "Nationalists integrist" Government of Ukraine ( the Banderist neo nazis that control Ukraine)

An ever growing list of conflicts is adding up to that anger.

This historical flip of attitude, comes in at a time when the Republican majority in the US House is  showing a will to  take some welcome distance from the conflict.

Poland has been governed by the conservative party " Right and Justice" know under its acronym PIS.

This political party is deeply opposed to the EU, not only as a supra national project, but also as a single unity of the european continent. During its long history, Poland has disappeared completely on four occasions. Its powerful Russian and German neighbors have routinely shared its territory. Poland therefore does not wish for a continental unity that historically enslaved it on several occasions.

On the contrary they remember with a certain nostalgia, the period which brought them great success following their alliance with Lituania. This is why they are promoting a third way: half way between Moscow and Berlin, in what is called Prometheism. Their goal is to set themselves free of the Russian and German influences, and to develop stronger relations with its central European neighbors. This project is commonly known as the "Intermarium"  or as it was branded in 2016, the three seas initiative, which would unite all the States between the Baltic, the Mediterranean, and the Black sea. Knowing that in Polish eyes, this initiative  must in the end replace the EU. For that reason Poland cannot count of Brussels. This is the main reason Poland decided to ally itself to the USA, a far away great power, and in their eyes less dangerous.

This alliance came to fruition during the Iraq conflict, in which Poland involved itself greatly, as a show of goodwill towards its new ally. Poland for example used the EU founds given to her to level its economy, to purchase a new fleet of American made planes.

The natural defiance of Poles towards Russia, should not mask their feelings towards the Germans. Recently, the German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, crudely tried to intervene in the upcoming Polish elections, by affirming that the scandal of the passports was still ongoing. After revelations that the Polish Foreign Office was selling Visas for euros 5000.00 each, the vice minister of this department had already given his resignation. Yet this German new accusation, was meant to tarnish the administration  of the  PIS, without any proof at all. Zbigniew Rau, the Polish Foreign Minister did not take it well at all, and officially and curtly reminded the German Chancellor of the principle of non intervention in other people's sovereignty.

While the majority of Poles support the nationalist approach of the PIS, the opposition is organized around the coalition led by the former President of the European Council, (2014/2019) Donald Tusk. As a child he played with Angela Merkel, the former German Chancellor. The two families know each other well, as they both traveled throughout the East bloc together, a rare privilege reserved for the communist elites.

Donald Tusk was hoping to win it, this time around, against the PIS. He had openly taken up the accusations  made by Brussels against the government of Mateusz Morawieki, and against the PIS concept of liberty, which is anything but woke. He underlined the fact that the EU still has not distributed to Poland the subventions it is entitled to under the Economic restart and resiliency program... But, and that is a big but, the latest developments are not favorable to either the EU or Tusk.

At the beginning of the Russian special operation in Ukraine in February of 2022, Varsaw made it clear that it was in support of Kiev, specially as DC called for a mobilisation against Moscow.

The Polish government felt it was natural to give shelter to nearly 1,5 million Ukrainian refugees, and to integrate this former Soviet State in their Three Seas initiative. Obviously the Poles were not aware any more than most, of what was really taking place within Ukraine. Historically, they were aware that the radical Nationalists of Ukraine had supported the Nazi regime, and committed  terrible crimes against civilian populations, including 120 000 Poles. Actually since the fall of the Soviet Union, Poland had welcomed many Ukrainians as foreign laborers. It was then natural for them to welcome war refugees, from their neighbor, specially women and children.

At that time, the PIS government outlawed any critic of Volodymir Zelensky's Ukrainian regime, which it clearly perceived as Russian propaganda. This is how from the beginning of the conflict, the Polish defense council, censored several websites from around the world which were not towing the line. This Military censorship, made it almost impossible for the leading political class, to fully comprehend what the Zelensky regime truly represented. Poland, from that time on, became the second largest military ally of Ukraine, only behind the USA.

On September 22nd 2023, the Canadian Parliament received President Zelinsky , in order for him to officially address them. After his speech, the speaker, Anthony Rota introduced an attending member of the public as a" Ukrainian/Canadian veteran of the WW II, who had fought against the Russians for Ukrainian independence", in his words "a hero of Canada, and a hero of Ukraine, as a member of the Ukrainian 1st Division". Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the parliament and the public gave him a standing ovation.

Thankfully, almost immediately, several Jewish organizations incensed by what they had witnessed, shouted that the 1st Ukrainian Division was in fact the infamous SS Galicia !!!

After three days, of growing controversy, speaker Rota gave his resignation, giving cover for Justin Trudeau who should have known better. Yet the Polish ambassador to Canada Witold Dzielzki, was not appeased, and demanded for an official apology, for the insult to the memory of the 120 000 Polish victims of SS Galicia. At the same time, the Polish government officially took steps for the extradition of the former SS to Poland. The whole Ukrainian Government charade went up in smoke, in an instant.

As Beata Szydlo, former prime minister of Poland noted, the problem here is not the crass ignorance  of Anthony Rota, but rather the arrogant attitude of both Volodymir Zelensky, and Canadian Vice Premier Christia Freeland (herself the child of Ukrainian radicals, and supporter of war criminal Bandera). None of these personalities can pretend that they ignored the fact that the 1st Ukrainian Division reputation for genocide is well known. None of them , showed any unease, (actually Zelensky raised his fist in approbation) nor did they warned Trudeau of what was taking place. Instead they joyously and gleefully celebrated and applauded.

It is also to be noted, that the Ukrainian celebrated "hero" never belonged to a fighting unit of the Waffen SS, but rather was part of the more sinister reprisal units, that were charged with the elimination of populations that were not supporting the Third Reich.

Knowing what we know now, it is hard to forget that the two most contested battles of this conflict in Ukraine, took place in Mariupol and Bakhmut. In both cases, the Ukrainian side was under the command of the nefarious radical extremist Andriy Biletsky, aka the "White Fuhrer", with whom Zelensky often pauses for photo ops.

Faced with this mounting evidences the Poles are now realizing that they might have acted with too much haste, in granting Ukraine the Status of Observer in its Three Seas Initiative. Quoting Israeli General Benny Gantz, in regards to Zelensky: " Even if he is a Jew, he is allying with and relying on the slaughterers of Jews"

This Canadian incident takes place at a time when Polish Farmers are totally incensed about the disloyal competition that they face, with the  Ukrainian/American  Agrofood industry Cartel. Particularly the purchase of a quarter of the Ukrainian farmland by a triumvirate of American giants: Cargill, Dupont and Monsanto, who export towards the European Union at unbeatable prices their cereals and chickens. These companies to add insult to injury do not pay for  their GMO seeds, which are provided by the US State Department for free. While the EU originally had not allowed the importation of these products that do not meet the Europeans norms, it finally relented under the pressure of the Biden Administration. Despite this failure of the European Union, three of its members, including Poland have made it illegal in their respective countries. Following these decisions Zelensky arrogantly announced that since these countries were members of the EU, he would attack them in the WTO.

As Agriculture is still the number one source of revenues for Poland, the ongoing legislative election campaign has become the center of the debate regarding these illegal Ukrainian exports. The rightist party: "Confederation" has become the main beneficiary of this discountent. Ultimately the PIS could be forced in an alliance with them, in order to retain power. The current Polish Minister of Agriculture warned his Ukrainian counterparts, about the dire consequences of suing Poland in the WTO, but he was met with a wall of silence and disdain.

Meanwhile, the Polish population as a whole is becoming impatient and frustrated with the continued influx of Ukrainian refugees. This sentiment is quickly morphing into an rejection of anything Ukrainian.

Polish President, Andrzej Duda has even floated the idea of stopping the aid to refugees from Ukraine, in view of the growing opposition to their presence on the Polish territory. He went as far as using the allegory of the drowning victim who panics and drags with him his rescuer. Ukraine drowning and Poland being an unwilling rescuer. Poland has a privilege relationship with the Holy See, based on its long history with Catholicism, and Pope John Paul II special place in Polish hearts. Not withstanding this common knowledge, and following the recent visit of Mongolia by Pope Francis, the Ukrainian Government decided to criticize the Vatican Harshly for not hating everything Russian. In doing so Kiev, accelerated Varsaw abandonment of any scrupules they might have had towards them. Shortly after the Polish Government declared stopping any military aid to Ukraine. Poland has also decided to demand compensation for the Polish citizens killed in 2022 by Ukrainian missiles landing on its territory, which Kiev first blamed on the Russians. All the lights are flashing red between the two countries since that Canadian incident in September. As Poland is the major route for weapons supply from the west, but also for grain export from Ukraine, since the closing of the Black Sea ports, this present a huge challenge for the Neocons in DC, and their NATO puppets.

While so far, neither Slovakia, nor Slovenia have demanded for apologies, in favor of their citizens victimized by the SS Galicia; the rapid worsening of the Polono Ukrainian relations will certainly have grave consequences for the Baltic States, specially for Lituania. This is definitely a game changer, and it shows that relationships based on lies and dissimulations are really very fragile.

THE REJECTION OF FRANCE, IN FRENCH SPEAKING AFRICA, SANCTIONS A 12 YEARS LONG BETRAYAL

 In politics, nothing happens by chance

The French do not seem to comprehend why suddenly the African french speaking world is rejecting them.

Their only explanation being that they are the victims of dark Russian machinations. In reality the Macron government is only harvesting the fruits of what previous administrations have sowed over the last 12 years. It has nothing to do with her History of colonialism, or the infamous "France Afrique", but rather it is the direct result of France's decision to align its defense policies with US strategic interests, rather than its own. The French medias have no answers to the questions on the latest wave of regime change hitting its former colonies. They simply do not understand the reasons of the rejection.

The old Marxist analysis of a blowback based on colonial exploitation are simply not convincing. The premium example given is the theory that France manages Niger's Uranium mining at a preferential low market price. While this sounds like an easy explanation, it is not based on realities. Another theory is that without Niger's uranium, France's nuclear energy sector would come to a stop. The problem with these theories is that even if the Niger's government wanted to embargo its exports towards France they would have to first deal with their Tuareg minority that controls the region were the mines are located. The other issue, is that Niger's Uranium represent only 11% of France's Uranium yearly purchases, bought at the world market going rate. By the same token France's Uranium reserves represent three times the yearly output of Niger's mines. The same reserves are sufficient to operate the Nuclear Electric grid in France for the next 12 years. Interestingly enough these Marxist theories are given a wide range on US sites like Democracy Now, or on the opposite side of the spectrum on outfits like " Redacted" who have taken the bite on this. The visceral anti French American instinct is perhaps at the origin of these biases, but a cursory watch of the coup leaders demands, could have shown that the putschists never even mentioned that issue.

The charges of Russian back channels influences are not any more credible. First of all, the Russians have not backed any of the putschists in Mali, Guinea, Burkina Faso, Niger or Gabon. Second the Russian presence in the region only dates back to 2016, after their successes in Syria. In Fact Turkey and Egypt are a lot more involved in these countries, since the fall of Lybia. All the while the problems in the region go back to 2010 or in many cases to 2001. Forgetting the origins of these issues make it very difficult to make a clear assessment.

After the twin towers bombings of 9/11 2001, the US asked France to maintain its control over the region, until Americans could deploy their Africom plans, and give time to the Pentagon and US intelligence companies to establish their well run policy of chaos from the Middle East to Black Africa.

Progressively the French policies of Republicanism and Democracy were replaced by new tribal policies.

(It is to be noted, that these tribal policies, based on centuries of Ethno conflicts in the region, are now being hidden behind the veil of jihadism, which in fact is only surper-imposed on these issues. As researcher Bernard Lugan noted: "While you cannot explain everything by ethno conflicts, you cannot understand any local conflict without the ethnic factor")

 On one hand it was a form of emancipation from the heavy handed French aid programs, but on the other hand it became a strikingly backward movement.

In 2010, President Sarkozy at the behest of the Obama administration, and specifically Secretary  Clinton took the initiative to intervene in the Ivorian civil conflict. While the country was in the midst of a Tribal warfare, an ECOWAS * negotiation  initiative, soon taken over by Kenya's Prime Minister, and cousin of Barack Hussein Obama, Raila Odinga attempted to settle the departure of the Ivorian President Laurent Gbagbo. The problem with the Gbagbo authoritarian regime, was that it had morphed from a CIA puppet government, into a government bent on protecting its people. Paris intervened militarily, right after the presidential election, with the goal to arrest Gbagbo, under the guise of ending a genocide, in order to substitute him with Alassane Ouattara a Burkinabe, and long time friend of the French ruling class. Later Laurent Gbagbo will be put on trial by the International Penal Court, which after a marathon type procedure, found him not guilty of genocide, and that De Facto France was not justified in intervening. 

A year later in 2011, again at the request of Secretary Clinton, President Nicolas Sarkozy engaged France in Lybia. Here again, the narrative of an intervention was to stop a genocide, by a dictator against its own people. To land some credibility to theses allegations, the CIA which was pulling the strings, organized false testimonies in front of the council for Human rights in Geneva. In New York, not long after, the Security council of the UN authorized western countries to intervene, in order to stop a genocide which never existed.

In Russia meanwhile, Dmitry Medvedev chose to ignore the issue, while Barack Obama who had wished for this operation to be the beginning of his Africom project ended up being opposed by his own military. General Carter F Ham in command of Africom in Germany was against fighting alongside of the jihadists, he had fought against in Irak. (The US military was still sore about the CIA support of Muslim terrorists, to fight against Russia and her allies, often at the cost of hurting American forces. In the face of this strong refusal by his own military, Obama used Nato instead (mostly France and Great Britain), forgetting conveniently his own promise never to use the Alliance against a southern country. Albeit, Muhamar Kadhafy was captured, tortured and lynched, while Lybia was quartered in small warlord kingdoms.

Ironically, the Lybian Arab Jamahariya (people's republic) was not a real dictature, but rather a regime rooted on the principles of XIX century French socialism and the commune of Paris. The Jamahariya was the only African entity with the goal to unify the Arabs and the black Africans. Kadhafy's goal was to liberate the African Continent from western colonialism, just as he had done for his own country. He was ready to launch with the help of the IMF director Dominique Strauss Kahn a transnational currency with several African countries. (soon after Strauss Kahn was implicated in a sordid accusation of attempted rape by an Ivorian maid, at the French owned Sofitel Hotel of New York City). Since the demise of Kadhafy, Lybia and the region have been the theater of many crimes who were thought to be things of the past. Black Africans were massacred by Arabs, even though they held Lybian passports, others were enslaved, all under the noses of western armed forces, who did not intervene. 

Poor African States, who used to be supported economically by Lybia, have since crumbled, starting with Mali (3) Arab Jihadists that NATO put in place in Tripoli have financed and armed some of the Tuareg movements, fighting black ethnic groups. The problem has now spread to the rest of the Sahel region* Francois Hollande who succeeded Nicolas Sarkozy at the Elysee Palace did not learn anything from these issues, and soon launched his own regime change in Mali, with the approval of the Obama administration. In March of 2012 while the mandate of President  Amadou Toumani Toure was coming to an end, and that he had declared that he was not running for another mandate, a group of American trained officers led a coup against him, giving no explanation for their action The leaders of the coup interrupted the ongoing Presidential campaign, and nominated a transition president, namely Dioncounda Traore. This slight of hands was fully endorsed by ECOWAS which was now led by Alassan Ouattara. As expected Dioncouda Traore asked France for help in combating the jihadists who were attacking Mali.

Paris plan was to base its troops in Mali in order to open a new front on the south of Algeria, which was the real target of Paris. Algerian generals were well aware of the situation, and knew that they were the next target on the Africom to do list. This is why they brutally repressed an hostage taking operation by jihadists at the sprawling oil  site of In Amenas. By doing so they sent a strong warning to France and the US. Not withstanding this reverse, the French army redeployed their troops, in order to launch operation Barkhane. Once again, the French army would do the dirty work for its overlord, the USA. Everything was planned to the last detail by Africom in Germany. This time around, the French would be supported by small contingents from the EU. Namely, Denmark, Spain, Estonia, United Kingdom, Tcheckia, and Sweden. Targets identified by Africom were destroyed. 

At that moment, despite its excellent results, Barkhane is not a legitimate operation. Of course the official position is that western countries are there to help fight muslim extremism. While most people in the Sahel region are well aware that it was the same western countries who had created said terrorists in the region by destroying Lybia.

Lets step back a while: It is important to remember that this whole mess had started with the Pentagon's wish to destroy African political structures through their establishment of Africom, in a similar way that Centcom had started doing in the larger Middle East region. On May 2022, the under secretary of the US State department for political affairs, the nefarious radical neocon Victoria Nuland organized a meeting of an 85 countries coalition against Daesh in the country of Morocco. She then announced their next move. Daesh was reorganizing their movement in the Sahel region, and they were equipped with weapons originally earmarked for Ukraine. Soon the whole area could become a raging war theater. (4) The following November Nigeria's President Muhammadu Buhari confirmed the massive arrival of weapons in the Sahel and lake Chad basin area for the jihadists, which were originally  supposed to go to Ukraine.

Faced with this existential threat, the military forces of Mali, Burkina Faso and Niger took over power in their respective countries to protect their own populations.

One must also understand that for years now, African leaders have complained about France's support for the same extremists she pretends to fight. Here they are not complaining about the French Military, but rather about the role of France's secret agencies in support of the US agenda.

From the start of Operation Serval, Syrian jihadists were complaining that they were abandoned by France for the benefit of their Sahel terrorist brothers. Francois Hollande actually had to delay the deployment of French troops to give enough time for Qatari trainers of Malian jihadists to pull out. When the Russian foreign minister brought the issue to his french counterpart Laurent Fabius, this one jokingly answered  him: " this is our version of real politik"

Not long after a sanctuary for Al Qaeda military bases was established between the cities of Ghat (near the Algerian border), and Sabbah (close to the Niger Border) right in the Fezzan desert, south of Lybia.* The well informed French weekly "le Canard Enchaine" affirmed that these schools for jihadists were organized and operated by British and French secret services.

Three years earlier, then Malian Prime Minister, Choguel Kokalla Maiga gave an interview to RIA Novosti  which was widely read, shared and debated in the whole region, but not in the west, and certainly not in France, where no one, but for a few expert, is aware of it.

According to a recent report to the UN Security Council (ref. S/2023/636) filed by Niger's foreign minister Yaou Sangare Bakar, french agents liberated this past August imprisoned terrorists. Later they regrouped in a valley near the village of Fitili (about 28km/17+miles, northwest of Yatakala) where they led out their plans for a series of attacks in the area of the three borders. Not long after, during 3 operations (2 in Niger, 1 in Mali) the military of these countries captured 16 terrorist leaders.

The letter to the Security Council by Mr Sangare Bakar also underlined other important issues: the role of ECOWAS (5). Issues that are re-occurring  since the regime change in the Ivory Coast. While ECOWAS own statutes do not allow for unilateral sanctions against one of its member, nor does the UN charter authorize it to take military actions. ECOWAS none the less took sanctions against Niger and mobilized troops to "re-establish Constitutional order"

In regards to Guinea and Gabon, things are a little different.

These States are located outside of the Lake Chad or Sahel regions. As such they are not yet directly threatened. The military in these countries rebelled against long standing authoritarian regimes. Those of Alpha Conde in Guinea and  Ali Bongo in Gabon. These rulers refused to relinquish their powers, against the wishes of their own populations. Yet the putschists in both countries rapidly challenged the presence of French troops on their territory. Simply stated, they foresee with a minimum risk of  being proven wrong, that the French army, unlike in the past, will neither defend the interests of said countries, nor those of France, but solely the interests of Washington DC.

Wars are usually prepared well in advance. Today the Biden administration is transferring great numbers of weapons to the region, under the cover of the Ukrainian conflict. Tomorrow might already be too late.

It is in this context, that it is to say very surprising to hear President Macron lecture these States about Constitutional Order. Least of all, because these countries are in immediate danger, and that by placing his own troops at the service of the ambitions of the Biden administration and the neocons, he is simply betraying his own Constitution.

Zelensky's scheme of the "Counter-attack. Its dire consequences.

  Posted by Frenchie,

(This post was originally written during the fall of 2022, but not published. Never the less it remains true today)

President Zelensky and his puppet masters at NATO launched a counter offensive against Russian forces.

They chose a place where these troops were very few, and which Moscow was not set to occupy.

Therefore they can celebrate with lots of fanfare this "victory" without enemies, nor battles.

Lets go back on this propaganda campaign which so far has only convinced those who wanted it to be true, which is basically the western Mass media.

Kiev announced in a bombastic way a counter offensive in the region of Kharkov, which is located north of the Donbass region.

The "Ukrainian" forces under Nato's command and with its technical, and satellite support, have "liberated" a territory strip of about 70 km in length and 30 km in width.

President Zelensky himself visited the town of Izium with an entourage of western media, to declare an upcoming victory by Ukraine over the "Russian invaders".

The reality is strikingly different, the western led forces never entered the Donbass area, neither in the Lougansk nor in the Donestsk.. In fact they only reccuparated the territories that  the Russians conquered early in their Special Military Operation (SMO), which they claimed, was to want to De Nazify (which for the Russians means to get rid of the radical Nationalist like the banderist and other extremist groups); yet never wanted to occupy.

From the beginning of the operation, Putin announced that the goal of the SMO was to help defend the two Russian Speaking Republics of the Donbass, but not seized the rest of the Ukrainian territory.

After the failure of the peace negociations between the Ukrainian and the Russian governments in late March, under the pressure of the Biden White House, Putin's approach evolved into wanting to punish the Ukrainian for the war the Russian see as having started in 2014 and the violent annexation of the southern territories, after these declared their separation, following the Maidan coup de force.

Following this new development after April of this year, Putin had two options: either to annex Novorussia or Makhnovchitchina, both areas of traditional Russian heritage which overlap quite extensively.

Makhnovchitchina is the territory where in 1918, the black flag army of the Anarchist Farmer leader  Nestor Makhno triumphed over the the Extreme Nationalist of the Kiev government led by Symon Petlioura and Dmytro Dontsov, whose successors are governing Ukraine now. After a short life the libertarian farming communities of Makhno were massacred under the coordinated attacks of the Germans, the Ukrainian Nationalists and the Trotskysts Bolchevicks. The largest ever Anarchist State in the World had disappeared, and it was claimed by Kiev. The current counter offensive of Zelensky is a part of that territory.

Novorussia, litteraly the New Russia, is the colony of Russian population, conquered by Gregory Potemkine, (Tsarina Catharina II's lover), from the Ottoman Empire. It comprises the whole of the south of Ukraine, from Crimea all the way to a small sleeve of territory in Moldova, called Transnistria. Marshall Potemkine established a modern state, inspired by the Greeks and the Romans. This area never experienced the rough system of Serfdom, which the Empress was not able to get rid of, in the rest of her Empire.

In the end Putin chose Novorussia, to be annexed in the Russian confederation. This past weekend referendum were held under the supervision of several thousands of international observers, to ask the people of the Donestk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaparohzhia, areas if they wish to join the Russian federation.

Voting which is to last 4 days, has been massive despite the indiscriminate shelling by the Kiev government of civilian areas, to discourage people from voting. Artillery barrage, drone strikes and missiles have been used, while the Russians are using  counter battery fire, anti drone systems, anti missiles as well as Air force to silence the incoming bombardments.

The escalation by Nato and Washington, has been addressed by Putin this week. He warned the west of severe retaliations in case of a continued escalation. At the same time he has recalled about three hundred thousands reserve troops. This is a major escalation, when you consider that most of the fighting on the Russian side so far has been done by the reservists of the republics of Donbass, Chechens volunteers, and what the Russians call with their dark sense of humor the "musicians" aka the mercenaries of the group Wagner.

On a legal and a technical level, once the referendum is over, and the Russian republics request to be integrated in the Russian federation is accepted by the Duma....any attack by foreign forces against Russian territory will be met by overwhelming military force. This means that we would move from a MSO to a full blown war against western aggressors. When you consider that so far, Putin has been a voice of moderation, compared to his public opinion, and unlike the madman described by western propaganda; one should ponder the risk of the full blown conflict we are facing.

JAPAN RE ARMEMENT

 

Few people have noticed, but Japan's armed forces have become as strong as they were during WWII, This is a hard fact since 2018, this game changer has occurred over several years and in a quiet manner

When the second World War was over, Japan was prohibited for having military weapons,

(airplanes carriers, long range bombers, missiles) which would allow for any further attacks.

Today, Japan's military Navy has 20 attack submarines, and 39 ballistic subs (8 of which being equipped with the Aegis combat system). It also deploys 3 Helicopters carriers. Further the Japanese government has decided to equip itself with an aircraft carrier. The Japanese aircraft carrier is planned to play a defensive role, such as the elimination of an immediate threat. Critics note that once it is deployed, no one will be able to stop it from being used in an offensive role.

Japan's negociations with the USA shows that they wish to replace 107 of their older planes, (F4 and F15) with the new generation F35A. They also wish to procure themselves with 40 F35B, which is the naval version of the plane, capable of vertical take off and landing...

The Japanese Navy has recently added two Destroyer/Helicopter carriers of the Izumo Class to their fleet.

Each ship weighs 27thousand tons and has a length of 248 meters (roughly 275yds).  They are equipped with anti-sub and anti-ship systems, and have the capacity to carry 400 Naval infantry and their equipment. These ships can easily be adapted to the operation of 18 F35B each, instead of Helicopters, giving them capabilities similar to the US's Wasp or America class landing crafts.

All what was necessary for Japan to arm itself with the capacity of an expeditionary force, was to  expand their own Navy. This became a reality in April 2018 with the establishment of the Military Brigade  ARDB, based in Sasebo, near Nagasaki.

Japan has now an antidote to hostile landings and foreign aircraft carrier groups. Yet, as China, North Korea and Russia are all Nuclear capable. Japan has concluded that their interlink with the US ballistic defense, and American reassurances are not sufficient, to alleviate the threat of missiles attacks against its own territory, specially potential Nuclear attacks.

Japan's decision to strengthen their own defense is natural and not surprising. Japanese are using their very advanced technology to fill the existing gap. The special relationship between Donald Trump and the late prime minister Abe were a corner stone of this evolution. Japan understands that in a last resort, it should count on itself for its own defense and that of their allies. China is certainly not pleased by this development, but Taiwan is. Taiwan feels a lot more comfortable dealing with their old Japanese friends rather than an unstable American ally, who might be tempted to use them as a proxy in a conflict with China.

This is a hard lesson from the current conflict taking place in Ukraine. The Taiwanese want to remain at peace, they do not want a CCP diktat, but they also do not wish to be pawns to the chicken hawks in Washington DC

WE ARE NOW OFFICIALLY LIVING IN A DEMOCRATURE

 Posted by Frenchie    

What is a DEMOCRATURE might you ask?

This terminology which has been common in most of Europe over the last decade, is used for a Dictature which pretends to hide its excesses by keeping the exterior appearances of a democratic system.

During the past century we saw numerous examples of rampant dictatorial regimes.

From the bloody Dictatures of the "people" as embodied by the regimes of Stalin, Mao, the Kim dynasty and Pol Pot, to the Nazis of Germany and the Fascits of Italy, Hungary or Romania, without forgetting the terrorist version of the Banderists of Ukrainian collaborators with the Nazi regime, and all the small tyrants of Banana republics from Central, South America, Africa, the Carabeans, south East Asia, and the tyranical oligarchies of the Middle East. From the ashes of world war I and its immense trauma were born dictatures which would make the horrors of that war pale in comparison to the evil done under the guise of these philosophies.

One of the shining lights in this dark period, and exception to these atrocities was the approach of most western countries, which promoted a democratic system of representation, with shared common values, strong constitutions, and the idea that all men were created equal. Or for lack of better words, democratic systems. Which in itself is a gross misrepresentation of the word. Real democracies being no more than the fingers on one's hand, around the world. Knowing full well that they themselves are in a precarious state, because of the negative influences of their next door neighbors..

We, the citizens of the United States of America, have lazily rested on the delusional idea, that we continued to be the beacon of this ideal, around the world.

Our long lost exceptionalism, only being a memory rather than a reality.

Yet, dangerous individuals, groups of individuals and organizations, within our own country, and of course outside of our country have been hard at work trying to destroy the remnants of a once great idea of government.

The continued downfall of these ideals has accelerated over the last 30 years.  On the 1st of September of 2022, the elected (and disputed) 46th President of the United States shamelessly delivered a speech, pretending to save the soul of the Nation. I looked high and low to find a similar type of speech which demonized, villified, denigrated, condemned, or otherwise accused a large part of the country to be un-american. I had to go back to the hay days just prior to the beginning of the war between the States, to find such vitriol and animosity. So much for the man who campaigned as a unificator, and a breath of fresh air for democracy.

The likes of Dr Goebbels, Mussolini, Papa Doc, Idi Amin Dada or Joseph Stalin would have been proud to deliver such a hateful speech . Unfortunately it was a sitting President of the USA, a man who has pretended to be what he was not, throughout his long political career, a known plagiarist, and pathological liar. Yet despite his well established history, few could imagine that he would cross that invisible Rubicon, which no President before him had done.

We were exposed to an angry, bitter old man. A failed leader, who has transgressed a multitude of our laws and trampled on the Constitution since his rise to the highest position in our Republic.

Using reverse accusatory, in a manner which would have made Joseph Stalin blush with envy, Joseph Biden tried to justify the weaponization of our Federal Justice System, along with the politization of our leading law enforcement agencies and intelligence apparatus. 

Declaring there was no place for political violence, while totally ignoring the speeches of hatred spewed by leaders and members of his own political party, which led to an assassination attempt against a member of the Supreme Court, the vandalization, arsons, and other destructions of churches, political offices and other non profit organizations, without any consequences for the culprits, who act as a private militia for the DNC.

President Biden, who is by the way the most hated American President in World History, the most laughed at, the least believable; pretended to have moral high points that neither the Pope nor the Daili Lama would dare pretend to.

Using the false flag operation of January 6 2021 portrayed as

an insurrection against the legitimate government of the USA, to justify the months long militarisation of the Capital of our Country, the imprisonment of countless bumpkins as white supremacist terrorists, and the isolation for long periods of time of political opponents, just like the communist dictators of the Soviet Union used to do.

Finally President Biden argued there was" too much in our Country that is not normal". Accusing  shortly after the Maga crowd of the GOP to be a danger for the Republic.

While he was right that there is too much in our Country that is not normal; he probably was not talking about what the average American think about.

* An unchecked border, which is left wide open for illegal immigration, human and drug trafficking

*A justice system that leaves arsonists and terrorist from the far left roam free, while parents attending school meetings are labeled terrorists  by the Attorney General

*A revolving door mechanism in liberal cities, that let repeat criminals  go free, and re offend, many times in violent crimes. 

*An unbridled spending never seen before for the most radical policies meant to be social altering tools.

Finally the President  accused his political opponents to push radical social policies, while he, his party and his administration are imposing suicidal green policies, gender bending programs, CRT in our Schools, our administration and our armed forces.

Of course the President totally omitted to mention the galloping inflation,( which he pretends does not exist) the daily violence in our streets, the proxy war he is pushing against Russia, and the criminalization of political opponents. While Joseph Biden pretends to fight for democracy, he actually pulls us into a democrature. While doing so, he is unashamed and unapologetic, the definite traits of a true dictator.

Washington hopes to re-establish its Hyper power status, with the war in Ukraine

 posted by Frenchie

The evolution of the Russian "special operation" in Ukraine, into a real proxy war between Moscow and Washington, is the equivalent of opening a Pandora's box.

The objectives of NATO, the EU and their master handlers have evolved.

It is no longer a question of defending the Banderite's [*} regime in Kiev, from Russia, but rather to  exhaust both sides (including the EU), with the goal to re-instate the Status of Washington as an Hyper-power in a uni Polar world.

 

 

THE RESURRECTION OF THE COLD WARRIORS

Over the last two and half months, the Special Operation led by Moscow against the Banderites, has morphed into a real war between Russia, the Donbass People's Republics on one side, and NATO's  backed Ukraine on the other side.

Common insignia of the Asov Regiment and SS panzer division Das Reich
 

A Ukraine victory would be a major setback for Russia. A Russian victory would the death nail for NATO. Neither side can afford a defeat, therefore all options are on the table.

At first, the Banderites saw their former allies of the Anti Bolshevik bloc of Nations (ABN), and the World Anti Communist League (WACL) [1] such as the Turkish Grey Wolves flocking to Ukraine

(3000 militiamen for the Turks)

While the ABN and the WACL have not yet completely disappeared, they have been replaced by the secretive "Centuria Order". Neverless the links between certain fraternities and anti-Russian groups developed during the secret operations of the Cold war have survived. For example the links between  groups of Jihadists from different nationalities in Syria, Afghanistan, Bosnia, Kosovo, Albania, and Lybia, during several battles under the guidance of the CIA have long been established..

As of now it appears that Washington and NATO have made sure that this war shall last and continue to grow. Therefore these networks are continuing their mobilization, to remain active in this conflict.

Historically during the Cold war, Asian countries had been very active in their support of these groups.

For example,the Kuomintang in Taiwan had been very pro-active in its support of the WACL,going so far, as to establish the Political Warfare Cadre Academy of Ukrainian Banderite Yaroslav Stesko outside of Taipei. This school was the equivalent of the Fort Bragg 's Psychological Warfare Center, and the School of Americas located in Panama.

The Governor of Mykolayev, Vitaly Kim  is of Koryo-Saram origin and has direct contacts with the successors of former South Korean dictator Park Chung-hee.

Edward Luttwak
 

Following the advise of the Straussian Edgar Luttwak [2], this league was profoundly  transformed in 1983. It changed its name to the "World League of Freedom and Democracy".(WLFD) just after the collapse of the USSR. Its last congress was held in January23 and 24, 2022 in Taiwan.

The Congress took place under the presidency of Yao Eng Chi a high ranking member of the KMT.

WLFD has consultative status at the UN, with an office at the United Nation headquarters. Its activities are covered under the Taiwanese secrecy law, and the Taipei Government still funds it with $ 1million per annum.

 

Why die when you can exploit the distress of others?

While the CIA supported heirs of the Facist militias from around the world have joined the Banderites,

NATO is keeping its distance from the actual Ukrainian Army, in order to avoid a direct conflict between Russia and the USA. (both nuclear powers)

Following that logic the US summoned its allies at its German airbase of Ramstein, on April 26 2022 in order to twist their allies arms to furnish Ukraine with weapons.

Knowing that before the open conflict, the Zelensky government estimated that about a third of  their armed forces were composed of the Banderites militias, it is logic to consider that many of these weapons shall end up being distributed to these extremists groups. Any State with a semi competent intelligence service actually knows this.

Yet they are so afraid to rub the US deep state the wrong way, that only Israel refused to participate in this meeting.[3]

However if you compare it to the same type of meeting regarding Syria, where 66 countries participated, it is obvious that the power of the US has shrunk seriously since then, when it was about supporting the Islamic fighters against Assad. While these States represent a third of the United Nations membership, they in fact represent only a 10th of the World population. It is clear to see how drastically the influence of the USA has decreased over the last decade. 

Moreover, with this latest influx of arms into Ukraine, it is no longer necessary for the Zelensky government to attack the Moldovan Republic of Dniester, (Transnistria) which houses the largest stockpile of weapons on the European soil.

On April 29, 2022, the White House obtained from Congress $33 Billions in additional funds for arming the Ukrainians.

 

This in itself raises the Ukrainian military Budget to the 11th largest in the world.

After two months of fighting the American political world has rallied to the Straussian war and imagined what they could get out of it for themselves.

To become the hyper-power it once was, the USA had to replay the score of the beginning of World War II. In 1939 the United States had still not recovered from the economic collapse of 1929.

New York was still far behind its rival Buenos Aires. The brilliant idea had been to let the Europeans tear each other apart, by selling them mass produced weapons in exchange for their treasuries. Washington refused to commit itself until 1942, and then only very timidly at first.

 While the war resulted in 55 millions casualties, of which only 200'000 were Americans, the trick was to have leased American weapons.

The time for reckoning soon arrived after V Day.

The British were forced to relinquish their Empire, while the debt of the soviets was spread over 60 years, and was not cleared until  Vladimir Putin did so.Britain finished paying that debt in 2015.

Congress should logically quickly pass the Ukraine Democracy Defense Lease Act 2022, which has already passed the Senate (S3522). In reality economically as well the Second world war has never stopped. [4]

This is nothing but the application of the Wolfowitz doctrine of 1990, in order to prevent by all means a rival of the USA to develop a relation with the EU, while weakening said European Union.

 

If this measure is a rational approach on the logistical level, as well as an excellent economic investment. It is a military blunder that waste precious technology which requires a technical training the Ukrainian soldiers are totally lacking. In the short term, they will not be able to use said equipment . Moreover these weapons can only be used on the front line. Since the Russian have destroyed  the electrical sub station that feed the railroads, the equipment cannot be delivered. Further the European diesel locomotives are not compatible with the Ukrainian rail gauges. In addition most of the network has been strategically bombed rendering its use quasi impossible.

Given the corruption of President Volodomyr Zelensky, it is foreseeable that  faced by the Ukrainian incapacity to deliver these weapons, he shall most likely sell them on the black market. They shall resurface on other battlefields, but this time in the hands of non state actors.

 

In the period of two months since the beginning of the Russian operation, this joker has been able to embezzle hundreds of millions of dollars, while the Ukrainian people continue to suffer.

This US strategy to become once more the center of world, can only work, if the war spreads to the west. We are not talking about the inevitable military operations against Transnistria [5], but rather the economic involvement of the members of the EU.

To date, only Poland and Bulgaria have refused to pay for Russian Gas in Rubles. Therefore they have been deprived of gas supplies.

As of now, all other members of the European Union have agreed to submit payments in rubles. Albeit not directly to Gazprom, but through banking intermediaries. Polish rantings that the country is about to switch suppliers do not help: Warsaw will actually import Russian gaz from other European countries who have purchased it in Rubles. The only difference to this inanity is that the Poles have actually added another intermediary.

With this cow towing to their American overlords, Europeans have to expect a sharp drop in their standards of living, and the loss of their own treasury. None one seems to care at this time.

Towards the dismantling of Ukraine.

For now  Russian military operations are strictly limited to the destruction of the vast Ukrainian defense infrastructure which it build over the last 8 years with the technical and financial support of NATO.(which the west refuse to acknowledge). The mobile phase of the war has not yet begun. After months of shelling, it is expected to take place during the summer months, and should be quick.

The Russian army should then offer to move the population who still espouse the leanings of the Banderite government to the areas they still hold.

Meanwhile the war has aroused irredentist appetites. Poland, which considered last month annexing the Kaliningrad enclave, has now set its appetites on the occupation of Western Ukraine. This region known as Galicia was occupied by Poland between the two World Wars, after the fall of  the Austro-Hungarian Empire, and its subsequent dismemberment through the Treaty of Versailles. The plan is to deploy Polish "peacekeepers" who then would remain there. 

However, the Polish Ukrainian conflict left bad memories on both sides. It is precisely in this context that the Banderites were formed. Incidentally, Stepan Bandera had the Polish Minister of the Interior: Bronislaw Pieracki, assassinated.  Bandera claimed that he had avenged the repression of his party. In reality Bandera was already a member of the Gestapo, and was actively working on the preparation of the invasion of Poland by Germany's third Reich.

For the moment Romania has remained silent, but has discreetly positioned its troops on its eastern border. It appears that when the conflict extend to Transnistria, Romania will eventually question the existence of both Transnistria and Moldova, who used to be part of its territory, until the end of WW II.

Another country watching the conflict closely, and not taking any side is Hungary. While Ukraine has criticized the Orban government for not taking part in the embargo against Russia. The Hungarian government has kept a low profile. Yet they monitor with great attention the repression of Ethnic Magyars in the region of transcarpathia, which it lost with the treaty of Versailles in 1920.

The brutal reprisal of the Hungarian minority after the "revolution of dignity" (2014 Maidan coup d'etat), the interdiction of the language (like for the russophone) have created a tense situation. So far Transcarpathia is at peace. Many displaced persons (mostly from the internal opposition) have taken refuge in that region. Russian troops have not launched any kind of attack on the region. Finally the Slovaks have also their eyes on a small region, which represent just a few villages.

The Russian position has evolved since the Kiev government (encouraged by Washington) has refused further negotiation. While originally Moscow just wanted the recognition of Crimea (which is already part of the Russian federation) as well as those of the Lugansk and Donestk people's Republics.; it announced on March 24th its intention to annex all of southern Ukraine to link Transnistria, Crimea and the Donbass.

As the result of this carving out of its territory by the Polish, Romanian, Magyar, Russian; Ukraine could end up with less than half of its territory, and an economy left to its bare bones.

A rare positive attempt.

On April 26th, UN Secretary General Antonio Guttierez went to the Kremlin with two propositions.

*Create a joint commission of UN-Ukraine-Russia to coordinate humanitarian efforts

*Create with the UN and International Red Cross a corridor to evacuate civilian who wished to leave the Asovstal factory stronghold.

Ukrainians proposed corridors to Moldova and Poland, while the Russians proposed corridors to Belarus and Russia. (knowing the banderites would be arrested and tried there) no agreeement was reached.

 

At the end of April it was not known if there were civilians left in Asovstal. In early May 1300 Ukrainian troops (mostly Marines) used a Russian corridor to surrender. Ukrainian POWs did claimed that there were civilians used as human shields by the Asov repression regiment, but Kiev denied it.

A few days later civilians were allowed to leave Asovstal, in exchange for food and water for the banderites. A de facto admission they were held against their will. Apparently Moscow was raising its humanitarian demands, in order to obtain the same treatment for their troops held by the Kiev government. Moscow is aware  of the many reports from varied sources, about the ill treatment, torture, and war crimes, captured Russian soldiers have been victims of.

Before the opening of the talks, Russian President Vladimir Putin reiterated his country's position: Russia rejects the rules laid down by the West, and demands the respect of the UN Charter (which had been the subject of the proposal of the bilateral US-Russia treaty of the December 17, 2021) [7]

The UN Secretary General then explained that according to the general opinion, the UN Charter condemns the invasion of a sovereign country. To which the Russian President  replied that this was a unique and special case: Ukraine had publicly declared that it would not implement the Minsk's agreements that had been registered by the Security council of the UN, and subsequently had attacked its own population in Donbass with heavy weapons. After eight years of resistance to this assault, these populations voted for independence, and their own governments asked Russia for help, which it did under Chapter 51 of the Charter of the UN.

Vladimir Putin also referred to the decision of the International Court of Justice on the independence of Kosovo. The court declared that the right of peoples to self determination, could be applied without the consent of the central authority, to which they were previously subject. This was not disputed. In Kosovo, however, it was the National Assembly who proclaimed independence; while in Donbass it was the people themselves who proclaimed it in a referendum.

At the end of the reunion, the UN and the International Red Cross agreed with Russia, to establish a procedure for the evacuation of civilians from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.

WAR PROPAGANDA

All the while, the war propaganda continues. It is interesting to note that both sides are addressing different targets, and using different methods.

Washington and London are seeking to convince Westerners of their narrative. They do not address the Ukrainians, let alone the Russians. They impose their position through repetition, then move on. They are careful to underplay the Ukrainian Neo Nazis, by staging beautiful images, and by blaming Russians for crimes they accuse them of having committed.

A striking example is their accusations, that the Russian army had committed  a massacre of civilians in the town of Bucha. Western leaders even used the term of genocide, one of the highest war crimes. So called experts explained that the victims had been shot with automatic weapons. Yet international forensic experts invalidated that version. [9] In turn Kiev suppressed this news and indicted 10 Russians (identity unknown)

 

The Ukrainian propaganda focuses on two issues: the invention of military victories, praised by the western press, but quickly denied, as well as the attribution of abominable crimes to the Russian army, also quickly denied.

For its parts, Moscow is considering the West, as people that cannot and will not accept reality, and therefore unable to change their mind until they have really lost. Its propaganda is targeted to the Russians and the Ukrainians, whom they consider to have been deceived by the Banderites and other extremists from the Kiev government. A typical case, is that rather than talking about current issues, the Russians have released their files, and military archives [10] to show that the Banderites never had any qualms about murdering and/or torturing other Ukrainians. Above all, and this is extremely important to the Russian perspective, it shows that the Banderites  never at any times fought the Nazis, but rather collaborated willingly with them. They are making sure to debunk the Wikipedia view, which is the official Ukrainian version, for whom the Banderites, fought the Nazis as well as the Soviets. The Western press does not relay these informations, because they would otherwise be forced to change their narrative about the glorious "resistance of the Asov bataillons" for example. More ever WWII German documents recently released by Moscow, show that the Nazi regime and the Banderites together, planned to annihilate the Donbass population. While they did not have the opportunity to execute these plans in the 1940s, it became known as a beginning plan for Azov after the 2014 coup d'Etat.

HOW TO SEE CLEARLY PAST THIS LATEST VIRAL EPIDEMIC.

 

 

(Emergencies have always been the pretext on which the safeguards of individual liberties have been eroded)  Friedrich Hayek

Lets bring things back to their just measure.

An earthquake which you survived, will remain less traumatic than a bad fall in a stairwell that actually injured you.

We can easily become infected by the collective fever, when we watch too much news about this pandemic. It is rather our own personal destiny and the ones of our family and friends which actually worry us.

 

This pandemic, up to now, has contaminated around 786 000 persons and claimed the lives of about      76 000 people around the world. The numbers are changing daily.

 

Without minimizing what we are experiencing, the average flu season kills more people every year.

This is why we must replace this issue within a rational spectrum, and refuse to fall in the trap of the curse of self-pity. No matter what, everything which hits us in our private lives and our own security, takes the dimension of a cataclysm, may it be a pandemic or a family disaster. 

Several persons that I care about have been infected. Some are fighting the fight of their lives, while for others it is not much more than a bad cold. 

Never the less, everyone is hanging on to the news, alarming contradictory and very approximative.

One cannot help but to try guessing his own future within the statistic released. This amount to nothing more than trying to read tea leaves.

 

Lets protect ourselves like we should, lets not overlook any precaution, and lets not forget that the best coat of armor, never stopped anybody from getting killed on the battlefield. It is the ageless law of the fight, the natural law of life. The society we see crumbling under our own eyes, for attempting to forget it.

Lets anchor down with our own fragilities, and lets keep our eyes wide open. We shall get out of this epidemic sooner or later. If the mortality of this virus doesn't explode upward, the forced immobilization of our societies, will have to be lifted before the end of the alert, because the damages of confinement, the economy, psychology, humankind will certainly outpace the risks of contagion. We shall inevitably have to get out for fresh air.

At that point and time, we shall most likely restart our brains. We shall try to understand what did happened. We shall add-up two and two together regarding thousands of issues which during the panic that has engulfed us, have escaped us, even positive ones. Answers and accountability shall be demanded.

Indeed, while we are watching the statistics coming in, and while we wait for miraculous therapies, it is business as usual, or dare I say worse than usual. Under the guise of emergency, measures are adopted, which shall not be recalled after the danger passed. To the contrary they will determine the future world of tomorrow.

In Europe and elsewhere around the world, laws regarding labor are adapted to the crisis we experience. Politicians have no intention to go back on them. Germany closed its borders to everyone, but to the fake migrants. Why? Are these individuals less contagious? Switzerland, Austria and countless other countries are proposing to exchange your liberties against hygiene. In the USA many governors have made that same choice.Some even go as far as advocating that we copy the social control of the Chinese Communist Party, an absolute totalitarian system, which ignores the autonomy of the individual, and has nothing to do with our western civilization.

In the East the divorce between China and the USA is coming to a head.

In Europe, the same USA is taking advantage of military maneuvers  that have not been cancelled   despite the virus, to re-nuclearize Europe with tactical missiles aimed towards Russia.

Meanwhile in Russia, the regime is becoming more autocratic. Everywhere it is easy to observe that common citizens are being stripped of their rights., of their customs, of their heritage for the benefit of an almighty administration, or those of multinational companies, or of an alliance between the two.

 

At the end of this crisis, millions of individuals run the risk to end up in the streets, many companies shall be out of business, others like Amazon will have prospered like never before. Why should this pandemic not be an opportunity for everyone, and not just for the rich and the powerful?

 

If we must seize that opportunity or at least defend what is already ours, it is not after the crisis that we must do it. It is now, right away. It is time to ask ourselves how we let ourselves be governed by people of such incompetence, of such timidity, such cowardice. It is time to ask ourselves how our supposed advanced healthcare system , one of the most expensive in the world, would collapse in just a matter of days after being faced with this viral epidemic while much less wealthy countries were able to react and procure the basic means for their population? Why is it that the contagion curves climb wildly in the most developed and asepticized countries. It is time to understand why poor Italy was actually helped by China, Cuba and Russia when its own neighbors from the EU failed to act at all. It is time to ask why nine out of ten of the death from this virus across the world are located within the most ultra liberal western countries?

When this crisis ends, the EU will only survive as an administrative empty shell of a past being both irrelevant and oppressive at the same time. Our system of laws will only be a vague memory. Therefore we must reflect now on how we shall protect our liberties and our possessions in such a world, rather than after we shall have been stripped out of everything.

Today we must force ourselves in the present and project ourselves in the future. Fiction writers will have been much more accurate than any of our administrators and all the talking heads. We will come to terms quickly with the fact that we need to invest, not only in our brains, but also in our hearts, our souls, and in all our lives to understand what is actually happening to us. The reason being that our own survival tomorrow might be more costly than life itself.

Do you desire to remain free individuals, actual citizens, rather than a crowd of well behaved and brainwashed zombies? Me too! We must snap out of this state of hypnosis! We must read together, think together, and remain critical and boorish. The masks that we have been forced to wear must NOT become gags!! Pouchkine, the great poet who had to be quarantine during 3 months because of an epidemic of Cholera (which was a lot more deadly that what we are experiencing) did not spend his days thumbing through the obituaries, nor did he wait for the panacea that saves. He took advantage of the situation to produce several dozens of new works. In fact it became the most prolific period of his short life. This is the best recipe to turn honey out of the anguish and bitterness.

We need alternatives to the current media crisis and this time of up evil. We should certainly not act like sheep: At the time when the media system based on advertising is crumbling under our eyes, the thirst for real information, and explanations for the public at large  has never been so necessary.

The trust of the medias who have transformed themselves into spokespersons  of the system shall not survive the fear they have been selling.

I invite everyone to look for alternatives that are serious and honest, and share them with your friends and social media, to raise hell against the screens of big brother.
