Now Russia has announced that Nord Stream-2... is
not damaged on one string... let's get back on the
streets, like the Czechs - who stand up to stop
the West's pro-war elites - forcing us into gas
prices way too high for the majority to pay.
- all for the USA to stay as ''top dog'' !
Mr Volodin, Speaker of the Duma:
"If Washington and the NATO countries supply
weapons that will be used to strike civilian
cities and attempt to seize our territories
- as they threaten - this will lead to
retaliatory measures -- using
more powerful weapons."
US President Franklin D. Roosevelt, 29/4/1938:
"The first truth -- is that the liberty of a democracy is not
safe if the people tolerate the growth of private power
-- to a point where it becomes stronger... than their
democratic state itself. That, in its essence, is
Fascism: the ownership of Government by
an individual, by a group.... or by any
other controlling private power.
The second truth -- is that the liberty of a democracy
isn't safe -- if its business system doesn't provide
employment and produce amd distribute goods
in such a way... as to sustain an acceptable
standard of living."
Former US President Donald Trump, to Biden:
“First come the tanks --- then come the nukes.
Get this crazy war ended, now. So easy to do.”
Scott Ritter:
''NATO is a Suicide Pill for the World.
Pray that Russia Wins.''
Serbian President Vucic on West's current agenda:
"What worries me is that there is no longer a rational
approach to solving problems. I saw this at the
meeting with the Big Five. No matter what
I said - and no matter what facts I gave -
no one wanted to listen to me. Reason
no longer plays any role. They have
their own agenda, and that is the
defeat of Russia, and along the
way, anyone who gets in their
way...... will be mopped up."
Calgacus, in AD 84:
''Robbers of the world, having by their universal plunder
exhausted the land, they rifle the deep. If the enemy is
rich, they are rapacious; if he is poor, they lust for
control; neither the east nor the west has been
able to satisfy them. Alone among men they
covet with equal eagerness poverty and
riches. To robbery, slaughter and
plunder, they give the lying
name of empire; they
create a wilderness
and call it peace.''
Bundestag (AfD) deputy Petr Bystron:
“You are bringing German tanks against Russia in Ukraine.
Your grandfathers already tried to do this then with the
Melniks and Banderas, as they do - again - now. And
what is the result? Result, Russian tanks, are here
in Berlin. And you pass by two of them every day
on your way here. The Russians have over
10,000 tanks and can mobilize 2 million
men. Two hundred of our tanks are of
no importance. This conflict cannot
be won militarily."
Ursula von der Leyen:
"When my own children join the armed forces,
and it will be necessary to deploy them, then
I will indeed be afraid like any other mother."
Interviewer: "Is one of your 7
children in the armed forces?"
Ursula von der Leyen: "No,
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA."
Giuseppe Biden:
“18 FBI agents have verified - that Hunter
Biden’s laptop is Russian disinformation!”
Alexander Solzhenitsyn:
"We know... they are lying.
They know they are lying.
They know that we know
they are lying. We know
that they know that we
Know they are lying.
And still...... they
continue to lie."
Vadym Prystaiko, Ukraine's Ambassador to the UK:
"Most of the weapons supplied to the Ukrainian Armed
Forces from Western countries are outdated, they just
expired. If you want to dispose of it ------- give it to us."
''Given the fact that -- despite the pressure of
unprecedented Western sanctions Russia
continues to maintain both healthy state
finances, an insignificant public debt, a
trade surplus, and no budget deficit --
the confrontation in Ukraine, cannot
but be won by Russia --- in one form
or another. The irreversibility of the
process --- makes it inadvisable to
'substantially' revise US strategy
toward Ukraine, which could be
reflected in an additional signif-
icant increase in quantitative
and qualitative... military and
financial support, especially
since such an initiative......
proportionally increases
the risks ------ of nuclear
strikes on US territory.''
Condoleezza Rice, then US secretary
of state ----- in her 2014 TV interview:
“In the long term.. we just want to change the
structure of [the EU’s] energy dependence.
Make it more dependent on the North
American energy platform, on the
excellent abundance of oil and
gas found in North America.”
Hugo Dionísio:
''The total submission of the G7 countries and the EU
to the dictates of NATO, an organization created to
groom them, which today is confused with the EU
itself; the blind application of all economic and
financial sanctions and guidelines; the lack of
protection mechanisms for the respective
internal markets… All this has the effect
that we are witnessing, which had been
foreseen by so many silenced people -
throughout this time. How they must
hate to be right.''
Michael Hudson:
''United States Treasury officials have told me that
all they need to do is give little white envelopes
filled with dollar bills and they’ve been able to
control European politics.''
Charles Higham - a half-Jewish Briton
whose family perished in Nazi camps:
''....the US government could do nothing about the
collaborative ventures - including strategic ones -
of US conglomerates, with Nazi Germany, during
the war. The only person to protest to Roosevelt
about these practices.. was the Supreme Court
Justice, Felix Frankfurter. Roosevelt... told him
that - if he took prohibitive measures --- there
was the expressed risk --- that Big Business
would retaliate by stopping war production
and that he, Roosevelt, could do nothing
about it. Roosevelt suggested, that too
many US political leaders were bound
or held by Big Business, to hope for a
successful mobilisation of coercion.
This marks the pathetic limits of the
true extent of US political power in
relation to other dominant forces."
Posted by OohCanada on Moon of Alabama:
''2 weeks ago, the west announced Ukraine's new
package of weapons and the Russians stated the
western supply routes will be targeted ---- (west
Ukraine got smashed) ---- This time, they were
targeted with missles... that Nato didn't even
detect & instantly everyone walked it back.
''They look like fools and will either need to send those
goods or just get it over with and fold. The Russians
pointed to Ukraine's obsolete air defense as a huge
weakness (they mean Nato's current systems
that Ukraine uses).
''The realization that they can bomb people in bed
without a warning must have a few money men
in the west stressed right out.''
Lula da Silva:
“We need to rescue the model of state institutions,
public banks, and state-owned companies in the
development of this country. Brazil is too big, to
renounce its productive potential. It makes no
sense to import fuels, fertilizers, oil platforms,
aircraft and satellites. We have sufficient
technical capacity and market, to
resume industrialisation.”
Oleg Nesterenko:
''Only an extremely aggressive U.S. foreign policy,
backed by world military & monetary domination
allows the US to occupy its current position. Any
other state which had committed even a fraction
of [its] crimes would be classified by the “inter-
national community” gathered around the US,
as a criminal, pariah state and would be
subject to a “legal” embargo more
serious than that of North
Korea, Iran and Cuba..
combined.''
Lugansk republic’s acting head, Pasechnik:
"The situation at the front, is complicated by the
fact that - today - we are fighting not only with
the Ukrainian army: there are many foreign
mercenaries and instructors, in the
ranks of the enemy. We know that
thousands of mercenaries, from
more than fifty countries, are
fighting in the ranks of the
Ukrainian Nazis, mainly
from Eastern Europe."
Patrushev:
''We are not at war with Ukraine, because by definition, we
cannot have hatred for ordinary Ukrainians. Ukrainian
traditions, are close to the people of Russia, just as
the heritage of the Russian people.. is inseparable
from the culture of Ukrainians. And... the sooner
the citizens of Ukraine realize - that the West is
fighting Russia with their hands, the more lives
will be saved. Many people have long realized
this ------- but they are afraid to declare it, for
fear of reprisals. The West does not plan to
save anyone's life --- at the expense of its
own enrichment -- and other ambitions.''
Patrushev:
''That sudden withdrawal of the Americans from
[Afghanistan] as it turned out, was largely due
to focusing on Ukraine, where -- according to
their estimates -- the preparation of the Kiev
puppet regime.. for offensive anti-Russian
actions, was going well. By the way, this
was confirmed by US Secretary of State
Blinken, who said that if the US military
had not left Afghanistan --- Washington
would not have been able to allocate
so much money to Ukraine.''
Former US Senator Richard Blake:
“We don’t care how many Ukrainians will die. How
many women, children, civilians and military. We
don’t care. Ukraine cannot take the peace
decision. The peace decision can only be
taken in Washington. But, for now, we
want to continue this war --- we will
fight --- to the last Ukrainian.”
Jason Michael McCann:
''What journalists in the western media - in the US and
Europe didn't realise.. between 2014 and the Russian
invasion, was that these Ukrainian Nazis - both in the
US and in the Nazi battalions of the Ukrainians army
- are important CIA assets. As ideological fighters,
they are committed to their hatred of Russia. The
US State Department, trusts them more than any
other political group or faction in Ukraine.These
are the people that the US government has been
working with funding & training for almost eight
decades. In the US’ global fight against Russia,
these Nazis have to be protected at all costs --
they are essential to the US plan in Ukraine.''
saying in the US in the 1960's:
"War is good for business, invest your son."
saying in the US in the 2020's:
''War is good for business, invest
your overweight, gender-fluid,
adopted, educationally
challenged, halfwit.''
A Russian Officer's wife speaks at a mourning rally
dedicated to Russian fighters killed in Makeyevka:
''The whole West is rallying to destroy us - us and our
children - but I assure you, our husbands and sons
will not allow it... for the inconsolable widows,
for the orphans. We will not forgive, and
victory will definitely be ours.''
Rob Endert:
''If Bakhmut is the central logistic hub for the last
defensive belt, then... by putting Bakhmut in a
difficult position prevents it from playing this
vital logistic role. The current situation is
already a Russian strategic success,
even before Bakhmut has fallen.''
Pierre de Gaulle, Grandson of President de Gaulle:
''I think that public opinion in France is beginning
to understand what the malicious game of the
Americans is today. Using lies primarily when
communicating with allies within NATO -- the
United States managed to use the Ukrainian
crisis to destabilize Europe.''
R. Buckminster Fuller:
''Sadly we see enormous numbers of stranded poverty
stricken people, while potential abundance, is being
deliberately curtailed by governments subservient
to the landlord’s will. Humanity is so accustomed
to failure it still assumes failure to be normal and
does not realize that it has literally earned – and
actually acquired - the capability to take care of
everyone on earth at a higher standard of living
than ever - heretofore - experienced by anyone.
The really big fact is that we are going to have
to go through, a complete mental resorting of
what its all about. Then we are going to have
to go about taking care of everybody, not as
''on relief'' but with the same spontaneous
welcome and love..... accorded a new-
born baby. Landlordism will no longer
be able to extract a ransom. Money
too, will become obsolete, with the
ability to produce enough - to take
care of all. The fact, that we now
have the capability to support all
life, and are not doing so, means
we have to introduce... a new
system. One that can make
the world work.''
Dmitry Medvedev on May 11th, 2022:
''The US House of Representatives has approved a $40
billion aid package for Ukraine. Biden asked for less,
but - from the bounty - they threw in a couple more
billion. The money is huge and there will be a lot
of hunters to share it, in the American military-
industrial complex. Not to mention, the banal
thieves on both sides of the ocean. It is quite
obvious that “aid” on such an unprecedented
scale isn't at all explained by love for Ukraine
--- and not even support for its own economy.
Its goal.. is to continue a proxy war against
Russia, the desire to inflict a heavy defeat
on our country ---- to limit its economic
development and political influence
in the world. It will not work. Their
printing press, due to which, the US
is constantly increasing its already
inflated national debt --- will break
faster. Not to mention.. the insane
prices.. for gasoline and food, for
the growth of which, Americans
should thank their Russophobic
authorities. But the goals of
the special operation...
will be achieved.''
Russia's Foreign Minister Lavrov:
''If you cannot sleep because of the Russian-Ukrainian
conflict, here are pieces of advice, to calm yourself.
Firstly, imagine this is happening in Africa. Imagine
it's happening in the Middle East. Imagine Ukraine
as Palestine. Imagine Russia is the United States.''
Karl Marx from ‘Capital: A Critique
of Political Economy, Volume I’:
''The discovery of gold and silver in America, the
expiration, enslavement and entombment in
mines, of the indigenous population of that
continent, the beginnings of the conquest
and plunder of India, and the conversion
of Africa, into a preserve for the
commercial hunting of black
skins.. are all things which
characterize the dawn of
the era of capitalist
production.''
''These idyllic proceedings, are the chief moments
of primitive accumulation. The different moments
of primitive accumulation -- can be assigned in
particular to Spain, Portugal, Holland, France,
and England, in more or less chronological
order. These moments are systematically
combined together ...at the end of the
seventeenth century in England;- the
combination embraces the colonies,
the national debt.... the modern tax
system --------------- and the system of
protection. These methods depend
in part on brute force, for example,
the colonial system. But, they all
employ the power of the state ---
the concentrated and organised
force of society, to hasten, hot-
house fashion, the process of
transformation of the feudal
mode of production into the
capitalist mode ---- and to
shorten the transition.''
Chinese Foreign Ministry:
''85 percent of the world's population
- has not imposed sanctions against
Russia: only the majority represent
the international community."
President Putin:
''The situation in the world is changing dynamically,
and the outlines of a multipolar world order --- are
taking shape. An increasing number of countries
and peoples - are choosing a path of free and
sovereign development based on their own
distinct identity, traditions and values.''
''These objective processes... are being opposed by the
Western globalist elites, who provoke chaos, fanning
long-standing & new conflicts, and pursuing the so-
called containment policy, which, in fact, amounts
to the subversion.. of any alternative, sovereign
development options. Thus -- they are doing all
they can, to keep hold onto the hegemony and
power that are slipping from their hands; they
are attempting to retain countries & peoples
in a grip of what is essentially a neocolonial
order. Their hegemony.. means stagnation
for the rest of the world & for the entire
civilisation; it means obscurantism,
the cancellation of culture, and
neoliberal totalitarianism.''
Timothy Leary (1920-1996):
"Almost everyone today is brain-damaged
by our education, which is designed to
produce docile automatons."
General Sherman, told his wife his purpose:
''Extermination --- not of soldiers alone, that is
the least part of the trouble --- but the people.''
Historian Lee Kennett, in
his biography of Sherman:
“Had the Confederates somehow won, had their
victory put them in position to bring their chief
opponents before some sort of tribunal, they
would have found themselves justified in
stringing up President Lincoln and the
entire Union high command --- for
violation of the laws of war ---
specifically, for waging war
against noncombatants.”
Jeremy Kuzmarov:
“Former Bolivian President Evo Morales calls
for a global campaign --- to eliminate NATO.”
Evo Morales:
“Julian Assange's detention --- represents an escalation,
an intimidation: so that all the crimes against humanity
committed by the different governments of the United
States --- are never revealed. So many interventions,
so many invasions, so much looting.”
Milagros Pichardo Pérez:
''Even the President of Mexico, Andrés Manuel López
Obrador, directly asked his counterpart, Joe Biden,
to release the founder of the WikiLeaks portal, to
whom he "opens the doors of his country," and
described him as "the best journalist of our
time." He also considered, that the
treatment he has received, only
"for denouncing human rights
violations", is worse than
that of a criminal.''
The UN special rapporteur on torture, Nils Melzer,
says Assange has suffered psychological torture:
"How far have we sunk?"
Robert Penn Warren wrote in his 1960 book:
“The Northerner, with his Treasury of Virtue, caused
by his victory in the Civil War, feels as though he has
an indulgence; a plenary indulgence, for all sins past
present & future. This indulgence is the justification
for our crusades of 1917-1918 and 1941-1945, and
our diplomacy of righteousness, with the slogan
of unconditional surrender and universal
rehabilitation --- for others.”
Thomas DiLorenzo:
''Lincoln’s war destroyed the voluntary union of
the founding fathers and replaced it with an
involuntary union held together by threat
of invasion, bloodshed, conquest,
and subjugation.''
Evo Morales:
“They think that some countries are the property
of other nations. They think God put them there,
so the world belongs to the U.S. and the UK.
That’s why the rebellions and the
uprisings will continue.”
Evo Morales:
“In politics we must ask ourselves: Are we with the
people or are we with the empire? If we are with
the people, we make a country; if we are with
the empire, we make money. If we are with
the people, we fight for life, for humanity;
if we are with the empire, we are with
the politics of death, the culture of
death, interventions and pillaging
of the people. That is what we
ask ourselves as humans,
as leaders: ‘Are we
at the service of
our people?’”
Yves Smith of 'Naked Capitalism':
“Despite the aggressive Western sanctions….... Russia
has been very restrained, as far as counter-measures
are concerned. So, after loudly saying that the EU
wants nothing to do with Russian energy, or
Russian pipelines... the EU should hardly
be upset, if Russia is tired of laboring
not to give them what they asked
for, an economic divorce. The
problem is, Europe is now
upset, that it’s getting
what it acted like
it wanted.”
Catherine the Great, of Russia:
''A man ought to form, in his own mind, an exact
and clear Idea of what liberty is. Liberty is the
right --- of doing whatsoever the laws allow:
and if any one citizen could do what the
laws forbid --- there would be no more
liberty; because others would have
an equal power of doing
the same.''
Ian Rankin OBE DL FRSE FRSL:
''I would have loved to have been a
rock n' roll star. But none of us
was musical, and none of us
had any instruments.''
Jim Rickards:
“The economies of the US and the EU are in, or very
near to, recession. Inflation is out of control in the
West and commodity shortages will lead quickly
to food shortages and more empty shelves in
supermarkets… as economic sanctions
have backfired - with protests turning
up at all spots in the global supply
chain - including railways,
trucking, warehouses,
and ports…”
US Senator Lindsey Graham:
"I like the path we are on. As long as we
help Ukraine with the weapons it needs
and economic support, it will fight to
the last man."
Jim Rickards:
“Almost everything you heard ---- about the
war in Ukraine from US media.. was a lie.”
Ex President of Ukraine Poroshenko
who signed the Minsk Agreements:
“When I was signing it, I never intended to implement
it. We just needed more time - to get more weapons
from the West - in order to enable us to resolve the
problem of the Ukrainian East by the use of force.”
Martin Jay:
"The once-golden relationship between the US
and the EU is also coming to an end. A game
of accusations will begin ---- which will be
carefully developed over several weeks
in the media. The West needs to get
out of the conflict in Ukraine and
it needs a good reason to
turn around."
What kids in the late 1940s used
to sing, on the May day marches:
''Go home yankee, yankee go home!
We don’t want you anymore.
For the way of life you sell
Doesn’t suit us very well
And it wasn’t Errol Flynn
that won the war!''
Rachel Marsden:
“The conflict in Ukraine, risks creating the ultimate
nightmare for Western elites: an alternative group
of allies, over which the West has no control, but
with the capacity to offer opportunities that are
competitive with what their own governments
or countries are offering… Western elites are
doubling down in Ukraine to save the world
order --- that protects their own selfish
interests --- thinking that it’s the way
to prevent... a parallel option from
emerging. It’s as simple as that.
And they don’t care, if it’s the
average citizen who has to
pay the price”.
Camilo José Cela:
''There are two kinds of man:
the ones who make history -
and the ones who endure it.''
Dmitry Medvedev:
“Washington - in tandem with London - conned the
Europeans like a couple of shell-game tricksters.”
Sergey Lavrov:
“The European economy is impacted -- more than
anything else. The stats show that 40 percent
of the damage caused by sanctions is borne
by the EU --- whereas the damage to the
United States is less than 1 percent.”
Kusumagraj:
"My love is deep and wide like that of the sky.
My only morality is to fight slavery.
I do not care for the restrictions of caste or creed.
I only know humanity and its service"
Richard Price:
''Tremble, all ye oppressors of the world! Take warning,
all ye supporters of slavish governments, and slavish
hierarchies! Call no more (absurdly and wickedly)
reformation, innovation. You cannot now hold
the world in darkness. Restore to mankind..
their rights; and consent to the correction
of abuses, before they and you are
destroyed together.“
Thomas Carlyle:
“Make yourself an honest man, and then
you may be sure that there is one less
scoundrel in the world.”
Eric Zuesse, on post-soviet US aims:
''President GHW Bush, secretly informed America’s
allies, starting on February 24th in 1990, “To hell
with that! We prevailed, they didn’t” ie, “they still
need to be totally and humiliatingly defeated
by us; they need to be conquered.” This ---
is the reality. No myth. America’s foreign
policies are laser-focused on crippling if
not destroying, all possible competitors.
Especially, all nations in Europe need
to know this, and to reverse course
because of it. Because --- if they
don’t, then Europe’s economies
will be crushed this coming
winter, in order to keep up
the US Government’s lies.
It is.. their choice. Either
continuing as American
vassal-nations, or else,
making a fundamental
turn, toward freedom
and justice.''
Martin Armstrong:
“There is no way they can get out of this, other than
by default. If they default, they are worried about
millions of people -- storming the parliaments of
Europe. This is really a tremendous financial
crisis that we are facing. They have been
borrowing year after year, since WWII ---
with zero intention of paying
anything back.”
Angelo Giliano, Financial & Political Analyst:
''What the collective West needs to take into account
now is ---- that they are not alone. They need to stop
their imperialist way of approaching how they see
the world. They tend to say the global world, but
when they say the global world, they only mean
maybe 15% of the population. But the problem
now is, that they don't have the weight they
used to have and they need to take into
account that you have an emergent
world and they are - we are -
living in the last days of
the imperialistic West.''
Cynthia Chung:
''Russia’s proclaimed support... in its letters to Lincoln,
would be put to the test - during the summer of 1863.
By then the South’s invasion of the North had failed
at Gettysburg and the violent anti-war New York
draft riots also failed, and Britain - as a result -
was thinking of a direct military intervention
--- with the backing of France.
''What would follow, marks one of the greatest displays
of support for another country’s sovereignty, to
ever occur in modern history. The Russian
Navy arrived on both the east and west
coastlines of the US in late September
and early October, in 1863.
''The timing was highly coordinated.... due to intelligence
reports of when Britain and France were intending their
military action. The Russian navy would stay along the
US coastline... in support of the Union, for 7 months!
They never intervened in the American civil war but
rather..... remained in its waters, at the behest of
Lincoln in case of a foreign power’s interference.
''If Russia had not done this, Britain and France would
most certainly, have intervened on the Confederate
states behalf -- as they made clear they would and
the US -- would have most certainly broken in two.
At that point it was Russia’s direct naval support
that allowed the US to remain whole.''
US ''Defense'' Secretary, Lloyd Austin:
“The range of HIMARS, our GMLRS round, is 80
kilometres and so that’s pretty good reach. It
has allowed and will continue to allow, to get
after those longer-range targets that they’ve
been unable to reach.”
Michael Hudson:
The philosophy of the IMF ever since world war II is
when third world countries can’t pay the debt, the
IMF comes in with an austerity program and says
you have to lower wages -- you have to break up
labour unions, if necessary you have to have a
democracy, and you can’t have a democracy
unless you’re willing to assassinate and
arrest the labour leaders and the
advocates of land redistribution
...because a democracy means
basically, rule by the financial
sector centred in the US. So..
finance capitalism ever since
WWI and especially WWII and
especially since 1980, is the
nationalistic doctrine of US
banks and the US 1%, and
the US financial sector ----
that's sort of merged into
a symbiotic unit with the
finance, insurance and
real estate.''
''In other words, finance capitalism instead of trying
to promote overall economic growth for the 99%,
instead of financing the industrialization of an
economy, with rising productivity and rising
living standards, is now cannibalizing the
industrial sector, and cannibalizing the
corporate sector. As you’re seeing
in the U.S., finance capitalism
is the economic doctrine of
deindustrialization... that
has occurred in the US,
in England, and is now
occurring in Europe.''
Michael Hudson:
''You need a strong enough government to check the
power of an oligarchy and to prevent a creditor
landowner oligarchy from developing. And
libertarians... while pretending to be for
liberty, they’re for a centrally planned
economy --- but a centrally planned
economy by the oligarchy, by the
financial sector, and by the real
estate owners. So every
economy is planned.
And the question is,
who’s going to do
the planning?''
Daniel Ortega, Sandinista:
''We are a poor country that wants to take the efforts
and resources.... now being invested in defense of
the revolution and invest it in tractors and plows.
Imperialism cannot conceive of a free people,
a sovereign people, an independent people.
Because, simply and plainly, for them,
the people is nothing more than
an empty phrase.''
Michael Hudson:
''What you call the bad guys.. always call themselves
the good guys. What you call evil, calls itself good.
So the question is, what kind of good guys you’re
going to have? The good guys that want to blow
up the world and impoverish society, which is
what neoliberalism says are the good guys,
or the good guys for the 99%, which
America says are autocracies,
that we have to fight?''
Femi Akomolafe:
''Why are Westerners so dumb, that they
cannot ask where their leaders... who
can’t find the money to repair their
shattered economies, suddenly
find the money to provide
weapons to Nazis,
in Ukraine?''
Russian Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:
“Our special military operation -- is meant to put an end
to the unabashed expansion and the unabashed drive
towards full domination - by the US and its Western
subjects on the world stage. This domination... is
built on gross violations of international law and
under some rules which they are now hyping
so much, and which they make up on a
case-by-case basis.”
Frantz Fanon:
“When I search for Man in the technique and
the style of Europe, I see only a succession
of negations of man --- and an avalanche of
murders. Leave this Europe where they are
never done talking of Man, yet murder men
everywhere they find them, at the corner
of every one of their own streets... in all
the corners of the globe. For centuries
they have stifled almost the whole of
humanity in the name of a so-called
spiritual experience. Look at them
today, swaying between atomic
and spiritual disintegration.”
June the 9th, in 1537, Pope
Paul III's Bull Sublimis Deus:
''We... who, although indignant, exercise the power of
Our Lord on earth -- and fight by all means -- to bring
the lost herd to the fold that has been entrusted to
us nevertheless consider that the Indians are true
men and, that they are not only capable of under-
standing the Catholic faith, but, according to our
information ...notwithstanding what has been
said, or is said to the contrary, such Indians
and all those who are later discovered by
the Christians, may not be deprived of
their LIBERTY BY ANY MEANS, nor of
their properties, even if they are not
in the faith of Jesus Christ; and of
their properties and they will not
be slaves, and everything that
is done will be null and void.''
Hungary’s PM Viktor Orban
on anti-Russian sanctions:
“Initially, I thought we had only shot ourselves in
the foot, but now it is clear, that the European
economy has shot itself in the lungs and it
is gasping for air. What we see right now,
is unbearable.”
Ben Okri:
"We have to find a new art and a new
psychology, to penetrate the apathy
and denial that are preventing us
making the changes that are
inevitable if our world is
to survive."

Pepe Escobar:
''NATO will continue to help Kiev to fight

Fabio Vighi:
“The purpose of the Ukrainian emergency... is
to keep the money printer switched on while
blaming Putin for the worldwide economic
downturn. The war.. serves the opposite

US commentator on The Saker:
''The world is being turned upside down, at a pace that is
simply breathtaking. I live in a small, rural Kansas farm
community and, thanks to media.. from TV to TikTok,
the cultural blitzkrieg has hit --- even here. In our
high school are not only “trans” students... but
“furries” — there are 3 girls who “identify”
as CATS. Thanks to the recent Biden
edict... we now have to figure out, if
we’re willing to cancel the school
lunch program... in order to keep
boys out of girls’ restrooms and
off the girls sports teams.
Thanks to smartphones children’s minds are being
colonized, and occupied by the same satanic
forces - that dominate the coasts. No safe
harbor anywhere. A 13-year-old boy here
who'd had his mind warped by online
pornography, tormented, tortured
and raped.... a 13year old girl.
Right here, in our little rural
town. No more Mayberry.
And it happened
seemingly...
overnight.''

''We have big problems: with food, water, medical

& there was no response from our artillery.
We all have various contusions or injuries
we received.. in combat positions. There
are many people.. with chronic diseases.
We could no longer continue our service.
We want to protect our homeland but we
have a lot of problems that need to be
solved and cured - now. We could not
get this.. from the management. We
will now be heading to the hospital
for treatment. We express --- our
distrust ---- to the leadership of

a feeling... that they just
want to dispose of us.''

''Why should it fit any literary school. Why imprison our
poetry, which is our only effective art form, in literary
and stylistic schools? The place of a poem.. is not in
libraries, but in tongues and minds. Literature must
retain the role it always had in social movements,
for us too... in the displacement of social order,
and fulfill it. The role of literature is to awaken.
The role of progressive literature is to create
social movements and to help attain the
goals of the historic development
of peoples."

Ramin Razaheri:
''Modern political history... begins in 1789,
because it begins with the fight against
the absolute autocracy of monarchy &
humanity’s shift towards greater and
greater democracy. It doesn't begin
in 1688... with England’s Glorious
Revolution, because all that faux
-revolution did, was legitimise
monarchical oligarchy, which
still exists today in England,
in Saudi Arabia, in Morocco
and in all the monarchies,
because that --- is what
monarchy is: collusion
on behalf of a few ---
against democracy,
equality, and

“In terms of weaponry, we stand united here:
that it is crucial for Russia to lose the war.

that Ukraine can fight that war,

Edmund Burke on Western Liberal Democracy
as practiced in France's Third Estate, in 1790:
“Judge, Sir, my surprise when I found that a very great
proportion of the assembly (a majority, I believe, of
the members who attended) ...was composed of
practitioners in... the law. Who could conceive
that men who are habitually meddling, daring,
subtle, active, of litigious dispositions, and
unquiet minds... would easily fall back into
their old condition of obscure contention -
and laborious low, unprofitable chicanery.
Who could doubt but that, at any expense
to the state - of which, they understood
nothing - they must pursue their private
interests, which they understand, but
too well.”
Karl Marx on Western Liberal Democracy
as practiced in the United States:
“Nowhere do ‘politicians’ form a more separate,
powerful section of the nation, than in North
America. There, each of the 2 great parties
which, alternately, succeed each other in
power, is itself --- in turn --- controlled by
people who make a business of politics,
who speculate on seats - in legislative
assemblies of the Union, as well as of
the separate states - or who make a
living... by carrying on agitation for
their party and, on its victory, are
rewarded with positions.”
Joe Stalin:
“Social Democracy and fascism,
are not opposites, they
are twins.”
Ramin Mazaheri for The Saker blog:
''A common Western Liberal Democratic criticism of
the parliaments of Cuba, Iran, China, etc... is that
there are too many people who are “unqualified”.
They are accused of this, because they lack
university degrees, whereas, in socialist-
inspired democracy, morality, devotion
to the people and grassroots esteem,
are seen as good qualifications for
public office.''

Bruce Lee:
“If you love life, don’t waste time,

Michael Hudson, economist:
''I suspect that a new world economic system
is emerging. If it succeeds, the last century –
since the end of World War I and the mess it
left – will seem like a long detour of history,
now returning to what seemed to be... the
basic social ideals of classical economics
– a market free from rent-seeking
landlords, monopolies and
predatory finance.''
Charles Dickens:
''The American elite is almost beyond
redemption... Moral relativism has
set in so deeply... that the gilded

A Living Sacrifice:
Romans 12 vs 1-2
1. Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of
God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice,
holy and pleasing to God — this is your
true and proper worship.
2. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then
you will be able to test and approve what God’s
will is — his good, pleasing and perfect will.

''In 1961 every nation in Africa produced
more than 100% of its own food supply,
today... almost none of them do. What
happened? The IMF and the World

privatise everything, and
then --- convert to cash
crops to feed the US.''
Michael Hudson:
''The choice confronting Global South countries:
to starve, by paying their foreign bondholders &
bankers, or to announce, as a basic principle of
international law: 'As sovereign countries, we
put our survival above the aim of enriching
foreign creditors, who have made loans
that have gone bad, as a result of their
choice to wage a new Cold War. As for
the destructive neoliberal advice that
the IMF & World Bank have given us...
their austerity plans were destructive
instead of helpful. Therefore, their
loans have gone bad. As such,
they have become odious.'''
Aleksey Zhuravko:
“The leaders of the West themselves created the
illusion of universal support for Zelensky, but in
reality he looks like a donkey, in front of which
they constantly hold a “carrot”, which
invariably slips away. In fact, both
him and the whole country,
are simply being led to
the slaughter.”
Aleksey Zhuravko:
“They understand very well --- that all the “red lines”
drawn by Vladimir Putin, have long been crossed,
so there is nothing to be ashamed of. After all,
in the end, it will still be up to Russia and its
partners to restore Ukraine. Therefore, the
goal of the West is to inflict maximum
damage on this country. Ukraine
can only be given - some penny
loans for restoration, but with
a mandatory repayment and
at crazy interest rates.”
Batiushka, for the Saker Blog:
''Today the seven billion people of the Non-Western
world.... are ranged against the one billion of the
Western world. All the international foundations

Why should some of them, at least, not be
headquartered in Russia? Either in Saint
Petersburg, or in Ekaterinburg, or in
the Crimea.''
Nikolai Patrushev, Secretary of the Security
Council of the Russian Federation, June 3rd:
''The special operation in Ukraine has brought
the confrontation between Russia & Western
countries, led by the US, to a climax. Battles
are going on, not only in the vast spaces of
the Ukraine, but also in the economic,
political and cultural spheres. The
style of the Anglo-Saxons has not
changed for centuries. And so...
today they continue to dictate
their terms to the world,
boorishly trampling on
the sovereign rights
of States.''
Silvio Berlusconi, Il Giornale, June 4th:
''What the Ukrainian crisis has shown us, is that
the West is isolated from the rest of the world,
and this is an alarm call for the present,
and especially, for the future.''

“The road to hell... is paved with the skulls

Batiushka:
''American roulette: this is the correct name for
so-called ‘Russian roulette’. It never existed in
Russia, but was invented by a US writer for a
work of fiction in 1937. Presumably he gave
it the Russian name, as it sounded ‘exotic’
to him. Another crazy racist Russophobic
invention, that only gun-obsessed
cowboys, with their cult of
violence, could think up.''
Alexander Perendzhiev:
“Such weapons and military equipment supplied by the
United States to official Kyiv pose a direct threat not
only to the Russian regions bordering Ukraine, but
also directly to Moscow itself and to the Central
macroregion of the Russian Federation.. as a
whole. That is, such a supply of weapons is
an attempt.. to carry out direct aggression
against our country from the parties.. are
no longer Ukraine, but the United States!
It is precisely in this way --- and not
otherwise --- that these actions of
official Washington... should
be considered.”
Bernard Le Bovier de Fontenelle:
''It takes time to ruin a world,

Mary Ritter Beard:
“Despite the modern dogma to the effect that
women were a subject sex --- until the 19th

including their own, since

already obvious: that he could not achieve
a single one of his goals in Ukraine.''
Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:
''The arrogance of the Anglo-Saxon alliance... has no
limits. We are offered evidence of that... every day.
Instead of delivering on their obligations under the
UN Charter and honouring, as is written in this
charter -- the sovereign equality of states and
abstaining from interfering in their domestic
affairs -- the West churns out ultimatums
every day, issuing them through their
ambassadors or envoys, to each -
without exception - capital and,
in so doing, blatantly black-
mailing them.''
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian:
''Since the 1980s, the US has withdrawn from 17
international organizations or treaties, including
the UN Human Rights Council, the World Health
Organization, the United Nations Educational,
Scientific and Cultural Organization, the Paris
Agreement, the Iran nuclear deal... the Arms
Trade Treaty, the INF Treaty, the Open Skies
Treaty, among others. Such a country, now
shamelessly disguises itself... as a referee
of international rules --- shining a spotlight
on where others come short, while turning
a blind eye to its outright violations. When
US politicians eloquently cite the United
Nations Convention on the Law of the
Sea, to criticize other countries, are
they aware of the fact that the US
is not even a state party to
the Convention?''
Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zhao Lijian:
''The US is the top saboteur of the international order,
sticks to US centrism & exceptionalism and wantonly
withdraws from treaties, and organizations. It refuses
to sign or ratify the United Nations Convention on the
Rights of the Child and Convention on the Elimination
of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, voted
against the Global Compact for Migration and the
Global Compact on Refugees, and remains the
sole party obstructing negotiations for a
verification protocol to the Biological
Weapons Convention.''
Foreign Minister, Sergey Lavrov:
''In 2015, the war in Donbass unleashed by the new
Ukrainian authorities who seized power in the
coup, was stopped. The Minsk agreements
were signed and guaranteed... by France
and Germany. All these years we called
on Kiev to honour its commitments.
Since the West had the decisive
influence on it we also worked
with the Europeans and the
Americans, appealing
to their conscience.
Regrettably..... they
have no conscience.''
Bill Hicks:
''Just a simple choice, right now, between fear
and love. The eyes of fear, want you to put

Valentin Varennikov:
"I have five reasons to love China: first, the Chinese
people are outstanding people, and China has a
long history and culture; second, she has an
amazing development rate today; third, the
Chinese people have never threatened
anyone, but the Chinese people have
war brought to them by aggressors.
However, they finally defeated the
aggressors and embarked on
the road of national
independence.''
''Fourth, China is our great neighbour... and China and
Russia have traditional friendship. Fifth, the Chinese
leaders - trained by the Communist Party of China -
led the Chinese people to find the right direction
of development in the world economic
development system.''

''The struggle --- to defeat the fascists who control the
west will be difficult and we face the risk of common
destruction. But, they will not succeed. They are not
bleeding Russia dry in a war of attrition, as they like
to claim. It is the USA and its allies that are being
bled dry by their own decisions and actions. It
is that which can make them dangerous, for
fascists are always dangerous. They
must be stopped. They are our
common enemy. Russia --- will
stop them. We must support

Christopher Black, international criminal lawyer:
''The road to war... is a dead end for the West. It did not
solve or alleviate their situation in either of the world
wars. And the defeat of fascist forces, mainly by the

Caitlin Johnstone:
“We live in a Narrative Matrix controlled by

Christopher Black, international criminal lawyer:
''The European egocentric and ignorant view of'
themselves as the superior beings of the world,
which arose out of their ignorance of the world
and the dogmatism of the Catholic Church, and
the later promotion by the Protestants of the
individual as all important, instead of the
collective society, which denied the
identity of each with all and with
nature, created a society that
regarded others as outside
them, and so, were not of
them, but instead, things
to be used and exploited
just as they have used
and exploited... the
planet as a whole.''
Caitlin Johnstone:
“Who controls the Narrative controls the World.”
Christopher Black, international criminal lawyer:
''The rise of fascism in Italy, then Germany, France,
Spain and in the USA and Britain, during the 1930’s
was due to the decision to use any and all methods
to secure their control over the world. Mussolini,
Hitler and Franco, were given support in Europe
by industrial and financial capital. Japan was
encouraged to attack Russia and China.
Fascism was the reaction of a pending
collapse of the west, to try to save
itself, in a desperate and futile
attempt... that continues
today.''
Jules Renard:

Nadezhda Krupskaya:
''Soviet power, at the head of which, Ilyich then
stood, was faced with the problem of creating
a type of state machinery, such as the world
had never before seen, one which relied on
the masses... and which would remake the
entire social fabric in a new, socialist way
and reshape all human relations. First of
all however, it was necessary to defend
Soviet power --- against the enemy's
attempts to overthrow it by force,
and to undermine it from within.
We had to strengthen our ranks.''

Heinz Dieterich, director of Centre for Transition
Sciences at the Autonomous Metropolitan
University, Mexico, coordinator at the
World Advanced Research Project:
“President Putin’s special military operation, to
defend the people of Donbas from an imminent
general offensive by a neo-Nazi regime in Kiev,
is not only fully justified in international law by
Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations
but is fully consistent with the military praxis
and doctrine of the legitimate self-defense of
States in the face of an imminent threat
emanating from a neighbouring state,
or enemy forces.”
Mike Adams:
“If Putin enforces his demand of accepting only rubles,
gold or bitcoin for energy exports, the dollar instantly
loses significant utility in the world. Those nations
that wish to buy energy from Russia - which
includes most European nations - will need
to first buy rubles, then trade rubles for
energy. This gives rubles instant
commodities backing. Putin’s
latest move threatens the
very future of the dollar
currency... and may
spell the beginning
of the end... for
the dollar.”

those nations’ political
elites.''
Propergander, Saker commentator:
''The issue is not... that the US has no strategy.
It is just that their prevailing strategy cannot
accommodate... the coordinated action of
China and Russia cutting of supply, and
causing supply inflation, to which there
is no fiscal or monetary policy answer,
and where war succeeds... in only
exacerbating domestic pain.''
Pepe Escobar:
''NATO has already wasted $50 billion - and counting -
while the Russians spent $4 billion, give or take, and
already conquered Mariupol, Berdyansk, Kherson
and Melitopol, created a land corridor to Crimea
(securing its water supply), controls the Sea
of Azov and its major port city, and liberated
strategically vital Volnovakha & Popasnaya
in Donbass, as well as Izyum near Kharkov.
That doesn’t even include Russia hurling
the entire, collective west into a level of
recession not seen since the 1970s.''
Shakespeare’s mad, senile “King Lear”:
“I shall do such things, I know not what
they are. But they shall be - the terror

Thierry Meyssan:
''On November the 2nd, in 2021, Dmitryo Yarosh
became an advisor to General Zaluzhnyi -- the
Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armies.
All Banderite para-military organizations
- 102,000 men - were incorporated into
the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A plan
of attack on Crimea and Donbass,
was drawn up. NATO, which
already had military
instructors on site
sent weapons. ''
Saladin:
“I warn you against shedding blood,
indulging in it and making a habit
of it, for blood never sleeps.”
Peacenik, Saker commentator:
''Bet you can’t guess the number one Senator

Its Bernie Sanders.''
Confucius, 551-479 BC, Chinese Teacher:
“Above all it is essential to refer to things by their
correct names. If things are not referred to by
their correct names, then our language will
not reflect reality. If our language does not
reflect reality, then our actions will not
reflect reality, and will be exercises
in futility.”
Democratic Leader Steny Hoyer:
"We are at war, forget about
blaming our own President
and focus on the enemy.''
Uncle Bob, Saker commentator:
''The swastika was the symbol of the Finnish
Air Force... until 2020. They removed it...
quietly and without announcements.''
Declan Hayes on NATO’s expansion to Finland
and how it would undermine Russia’s security:
“The Kola Peninsula, which lies almost completely
inside the Arctic Circle, is pivotal to Russia’s
Northern fleet. It is... the crux of Russia’s
military establishment in the western
Arctic, and its air and maritime
capabilities - are essential to
Russia’s homeland defense,
Arctic defense and overall
defense capabilities.''
''Because Kola’s Severomorsk-1 air base, Gadzhiyevo
submarine base... and Okolnaya submarine support
base are critical to Russia’s operational readiness
and its ability to defend Russia’s maritime space
in the Arctic, Russia cannot allow this deluded
warrior woman to launch Armageddon.''
''The Kola Peninsula is also home to systems, such as
RS-24 YARS - located at the Plesetsk Cosmodrome -
which are a core deterrent to U.S. and NATO attack
systems. Russia’s Grom-2019 exercises, showed
her ability to use Kola’s arsenal of ballistic and
cruise missiles to defend her position; not only
in the Arctic but further south along the entire
Finnish border, as well in contiguous regions
where Russia’s core strategic interests
are at stake.”
Cloud Of Fennoscandia, Saker commentator:
''We have been promised... a national vote on defence
matters for years and years, but gallups have shown
time after time -- that Finnish People do not want to
be part of any military cliques. Now our globalist
President and Schwab/WEF groomed, socialist
PM did see (arrange?) their momentum. And
all of a sudden, we, the People, and vote,
are not needed.''
V.I. Lenin’s “Imperialism, the Highest Stage
of Capitalism” (1912) Ch. 2, The Banks
and Their New Role:
“the beginning of the twentieth century marks the
turning point from the old capitalism to the new,
from the domination of capital in general, to
the domination of finance capital.”
Michael Hudson:
''… we’re seeing, in the last few months, the beginning
of a war that’s going to go on for – I think – 20 years,
maybe 30 or 40 years. The world is splitting away.
It won’t be a pretty sight --- because the United
States and its European satellites are trying
to prevent an inevitable break away, that
they cannot prevent, any more than
Europe’s landlord class... could
prevent industrial capitalism
from developing in the
19th century.''
Scott Ritter:
''US military personnel, whose traditions are born
from the heroic sacrifices - made by hundreds of
thousands of their fellow soldiers, sailors, and
airmen - who gave their lives, to defeat Nazi
Germany, are today providing weapons and
training, to Ukrainians... whose bodies and
banners bear the markings of Hitler’s
Third Reich.''
Saker commentator Steve from Oz:
''Many professional commentators, are not
aware that liberalism is the political arm
of economic individualism, and is
therefore anti-community.''
Elizabeth Peratrovich:
''Asking you to give me rights
implies that they are yours
to give.''
Charles Dickens:
“Have a heart that never hardens,
a temper that never tires, and
a touch that never hurts.”
Deputy Speaker of the State Duma of the Russian
Federation Pyotr Tolstoy, talking to La Republica:
“Despite the help from Europe and the hysteria of
Boris Johnson or Mario Draghi, we will finish the
operation when we see fit. I think we will stop
at the border with Poland.”
The scientific service of the Bundestag:
“Only if - in addition to the supply of weapons -
the instruction of the conflict party or training
in such weapons, were also an issue, would
one leave the secure area of non-warfare.”
The Bible:
''Nothing is innocent in man.''
Shep, Saker commentator:
''What is suspicious about the nationwide display of
Ukraine flags is that it all seems pre-organized and
done at a fairly large scale. I think there is an
intimidation factor here. The flag display
shuts down anyone who wants to
side with Russia.''
Mr. Enzweiler, a retired US Air Force, USAID
contractor and US Foreign Service Officer:
''CFR President, Mr. Haass, is the spokesperson
for Washington officialdom, on foreign policy.
Haass presents three possible war-ending
scenarios. Pouring more weapons into
Ukraine and prolonging the war, is
Haass’s recommendation under
all three scenarios.''
Mr Haass in his seminal statement:
"Whatever goals the West ultimately settles on,
requiring that the war end with a formal peace
agreement, should not be one of them."
Parfois (Saker commentator):
“To limit energy sanctions, the US attempted to bring
Syria to heel, so they could build pipelines across
its territory and bring natural gas and oil from the
Middle East and avoid the present crunch, but
that failed, so now they are scrambling.”
Yuri Podolyaka, Russian human:
''The battle goes on, not for some town in
Donbass and not even for all of Ukraine.
The battle is between radically different
worlds. The battle is for the sake of one
of the worlds winning - and going on to
build on our beautiful Earth the
civilization of the future.''
''Their side uses threats, murders, violence,
provocations and spreading total hatred.
Our side tries to bring to the world –
which so far is not really listening –
completely different values. And
for that reason, we have to win.
Because if we lose, they will
wipe us off the map. We and
our children will be either
killed -- or turned into the
'cesspool of hatred' that
they turned Ukraine
into... in a mere
8 years.''
''But I’m absolutely sure that this process is reversible
and, leaning on our ideology, we would not just win
in Ukraine... and resurrect the Ukraine we still
remember – the people and the country, not
to mention the government. But the end
goal is to win the battle in Washington.
As paradoxical as it may sound today,
we need to help American people to
get rid of the bloodsuckers... that
today are violating hundreds of
millions - or even billions - of
people across the planet,
with their hatred.''
Michael Hudson:
''...basically the oil companies and the US are
going to let the third-world countries go into
a crisis. If they default on their bonds, then
the US and the bond-holders... get to treat
Latin America like they treated Argentina
or Venezuela, and grab whatever assets
they have outside of their country. Like
Venezuela had investments in the US
and gold that it left in the Bank of
England that were grabbed.
''There’s going to be a huge asset grab. That
is supposed to be how this unfolds, and the
most obvious assets to the grabbed, are
going to be in Latin America and Africa.
Maybe some Asian deficit countries. So
this is the weakest link, and that’s why
there’s this fight within the IMF.. at the
upcoming meetings, to create these
special drawing rights, to give them
money: on the condition that there
is a class war.''
''...what we’re seeing, really, isn’t a war
between NATO and Russia. It’s a class
war of the neoliberals against labour
across the world, to establish the
power of finance over labour.''
''If you read what Klaus Schwab says at the World
Economic Forum, he said there are 20% too many
people in the world, especially in the Global South.
This is what all the big foundations are for. The
billionaires, they all say, ‘We’ve got to thin out
the population, there’s too many consumers
that don’t produce enough wealth for us.’ If
they produce wealth for themselves, that
doesn’t count, because that’s not for us,
and we don’t get it.''
''Obviously, anyone who looks at the basic
economic trends can see that this is
inevitable—and you have to assume
that this was discussed as part of
the whole big neoliberal plan of
the Biden administration and
the Deep State behind it.''
The Saker commentator, R. Robertson:
''Neoliberal economists and
their lawyers have decided,
1. Contracts must be honored in Euros
or Dollars as the contract stipulates.
2. Those Euros and Dollars will then
be canceled, per sanctions.
3. EU oligarchy gets free sh*t to sell
to EU customers at very high prices.
It is the ultimate in wealth production. Pay
nothing for something, and sell it at very
high prices during crisis. Western
oligarchs becoming history’s
greatest State Welfare
Queens. Which they
already are.''
Zero Hedge commentator
“not-me—it-was-the-dog”:
“In exchange for so-called Schrödinger Euros,
Vladimir Putin ´the merciless´ has decreed
the creation of Schrödinger NatGas,
whereby GazProm will thus “print”
cubic metres of natgas - with a
keyboard - 100% for free and
then transfer such gas over
to the EU purchaser’s
storage tanks, in the
EU albeit now under
“frozen” status.''
''So Russia never gets to use such euros –
which actually never see the light of day
– and accordingly are not inflationary in
any and every sense of the term, as
nobody else can use them either,
and Europe never gets to burn
such gas – which actually
never sees the light of...
pilot – and, accordingly,
does not contribute to
global warming!''
''Thus by not entering into any economy at all in
no way, shape, or form, the EU and Russia can
exchange lots of nothing for free, and Greta
will squirm with delight. Easy see ?''
