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'' !
Julian Macfarlane:
''Of 450 Ukrainian parliamentarians, only
90 remain in the Ukraine. Bye bye Kiev.
Hello Monaco.''

''Sir Kier Starmer - the only member of the UK
Parliament who is a member of the hated
Trilateral Commission - A major driving
force for US political dominance.''
Ayn Rand:
"You can ignore reality, but you can
not ignore the consequences of
ignoring reality."
Phillyguy on The Saker Blog:
''Europe is still occupied by circa 100K troops, 35K
in Germany alone. Thus, Germany is not really a
US ‘ally’ but rather a subordinate. This begs the
question; will Germany and other countries
in the EU... continue serving as de facto
US vassals, or begin following a more
independent foreign policy?
One could argue, that:
their very survival as
functional states ---
depends on this.''
Viktor Mikhin:
''The EU is not an ally of the US ---- but a coalition of
vassal states that have been under US military and
economic occupation ------ ever since World War 2.
The US committed a holocaust against Germany,
during and immediately after that war - bombing
entire cities, where only civilians lived, starving
millions of German prisoners of war & civilians
during the first few years of the occupation...
the reality is that the Marshall Plan was only
implemented, after the Morgenthau Plan to
kill millions of Germans, had done its
bloody work.''
John F. Kennedy:
''What kind of peace do I mean? What kind of peace do
we seek? Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world
by American weapons of war. Not the peace of the
grave, or the security of the slave. I am talking
about genuine peace; the kind of peace that
makes life on earth worth living; the kind
that enables men and nations to grow
and to hope, and to build a better life
for their children -- not merely peace
for Americans but peace for all men
and women -- not merely peace in
our time, but peace for all time.''
Jim Morrison, singer, songwriter, and poet:
“Whoever controls the media,
controls the mind.”
U.S. President John F. Kennedy:

Voltaire:
''If you want to know who controls you,
look at who you are not allowed
to criticize.''
China's Premier Chou Enlai, in 1976:
“Americans have no sense of history”.
Russia's President Putin, in 2022:
“When creating Ukraine..... the Bolsheviks endowed
it with primordially Russian territories – they gave
it all of Little Russia, the entire Black Sea region,
the entirety of Donbass. Ukraine evolved as an
artificial state. Ukrainians and Russians are
one people - this is an historical fact. The
only country that can guarantee its
sovereignty, is the country which
created it – Russia.”
Oswald Spengler:
''Through money, democracy becomes
its own destroyer, after money
has destroyed intellect.''
President Putin:
''Russia tried to build relations
with the West and NATO –
to live together in peace
and harmony. Their
response.. to all
cooperation,
was simply
‘no’.''
President Putin:
“It is in our historical tradition, in the fate of our
people, to stop those who are striving for world
domination, who threaten to dismember and
enslave our Motherland, our Fatherland.
We will do it now, and so it will be.”
Ernest J. King, Commander
in Chief of the US Fleet:
“I join in admiration --- for the Soviet
Union’s heroic and historic defense.”
Senator Alexey Pushkov:
''If we proceed.... from the sensational and untenable
“discovery” of the head of the IMF, Christine Lagarde,
according to whom inflation comes out of nowhere..
then the doubling of the number of British citizens
struggling to make ends meet, has also come out
of nowhere. From the sky, for example, it's come
& isn't a consequence of the ruinous policies of
British governments: guilty of the energy crisis,
rising fuel prices, & the imposition of (counter-
productive) sanctions against Russia; not to
mention... the risky enthusiasm for costly
military & other assistance to Ukraine.''
President Putin:
“The world is witnessing the degradation
of world institutions, the erosion of the
principle of collective security, the
substitution of international law
for ‘rules’”.
Lex, on Moon of Alabama:
''This week, the Germans and French couldn’t
decide whether they want to renew old feuds
or band together against the US -- over being
pillaged. Each time some wile e coyote ass
stunt by the US/UK, there’s another tick on
the ledger - that the real problems are the
Brits & Yanks. The Europeans won’t say
it out loud but they’re learning… slowly.
Going slow is dangerous...but it is also
giving Russia’s adversary a lot of rope
for hanging itself. The US/UK are led
by people...... more than capable of
hanging themselves, whether by
accident, belief that they can
not be hung - or even out of
ideological spite.''
Shakespeare:
“This above all: To thine own self be true.”
President Putin:
''The battlefield to which destiny and history have
called us, is a battlefield for our people… for the
great historical Russia, for future generations,
our children, grandchildren, and great-grand
children. We must protect them.... against
enslavement and monstrous experiments,
that are designed: to cripple their minds
& souls. Today we need a consolidated
society, and this consolidation can
only be based --- on sovereignty,
freedom, creation, and justice.
Our values ---- are humanity,
mercy and compassion.''

“If you hold to my teaching, you are really my

we haven’t been tested... in a long time.''
The Global Times (Chinese news):
''The US State Department revealed that the G7
ministers will discuss a range of pressing
global challenges --- including the G7’s
sustained support, for a democratic,
sovereign and prosperous Ukraine.''
Ukraine's Reznikov begging BRICS
country Brazil, for Gepard ammo:
''And... from these grain hubs, grain, sunflower oil,
and corn are supplied to countries facing hunger.
Therefore, if you give us these munitions today,
we will protect the sky from terrorist drones ---
which means that this will be a humanitarian
mission on your part, because we will save
lives and people will not die of hunger in
Africa and Asia.''
President Putin:
“The unipolar world is coming to an end. The West is
incapable of single-handedly ruling the world. The
world stands at an historical milestone, ahead of
the most dangerous and important decade
since World War II.”
President Putin:
“There are at least two ‘Wests’. The first,
is traditional, with a rich culture.
The second, is aggressive
and colonial.”
Imam Ali:

right --- has left me with no friends.''
Karl Adolph Maximilian Hoffmann, Major General,
Chief of Staff of the Commander-in-Chief of the
Eastern Front of the German Empire, in WW1:
“I created Ukraine, frankly, just so that there was
at least some part of Russia, to conclude peace
with her.”
Batiushka:
''The EU, is just the political and economic arm of
the US in Europe, just as NATO, is its military arm.
The United States of Europe has been USED. It is
over. All we need now, is for Europe to recover
its independence from the US invasion and
occupation of the 1940s. Then... there will
be a new EU, Eurasian Union or a new EC,
Eurasian Confederation. This would be
governed not by unelected Eurocrats,
but by the elected governments of
the sovereign states of multipolar
Eurasia.. co-operating together.''
Military analyst Andrei Martyanov:
''The combined West.. doesn’t have the material and
technological means of fighting Russia in Eastern
Europe without losing catastrophically. Western
weapons turned out to be nothing more than
commercial items - not designed to fight a
modern war - plus, no Western economy,
including the United States, has the
capability to produce them in the
needed quantities anyway.''
Kherson governor, Kirill Stremousov:
"After repelling the attack on Kherson ---
we plan to launch a counteroffensive on
Nikolaev, Odessa and Dnepropetrovsk."
Valdai 2022 report “A World
Without Superpowers”:
“The United States and its allies, in fact,

it, is still in place.”

“Evil appears as good

President Putin, of the Russian Federation:
“Humanity has two options – either we continue
accumulating the burden of problems that is
certain to crush all of us, or we can work
together to find solutions.”
Charles Darwin:
“Ignorance more frequently begets
confidence, than does knowledge.”
larry, dfh:
''I do hope that Fred Reed is right about the Generals
in Washington and Moscow, that they can prevent a
nuclear war from taking place. But we are walking
on very thin ice right now --- with incompetent
ideologues in Washington, who, clearly, have
no real understanding of the existential
dangers of nuclear war.''
larry, dfh:
''In 2010, at the UN meetings of the First Committee,
I asked both Rose Gottemoeller and Anatoly Atonov
(during their briefing on New START).. if they were
familiar with the new studies on nuclear winter,
which predict - that a US-Russian nuclear war
would wipe out most of humanity. Both
answered - “no”. Perhaps... they have
learned more, about nuclear winter..
since 2010. But it's willful blindness
to chose to ignore such information
--- and criminal insanity ---- to start
a nuclear war that would amount
to a mass extinction event.''
Karl Phillip Gottlieb von Clausewitz,
Major General of the Prussian Army:
“Russia is not a country that can be really conquered,
that is, occupied; at least this cannot be done by the
forces of modern European states. Such a country
can only be defeated by internal weakness and
the action of internal strife.“
Sergei Lavrov:
''The peoples of the world want to live according to the
cultural and civilizational foundations bequeathed by
their ancestors. They reject --- the pseudo-liberal
approaches imposed by western elites, which
encourage destructive models of behaviour
and thereby.. cause irreparable damage to
people's moral health. For our part ---- we
proceed from the premise, that universal
human solidarity ------ should be based on
traditional values common to the world's
major religions and cultures.''
The Quran (Sura Al-Imran – 3:54):
“And the unbelievers schemed [against Jesus];
but God brought their scheming to nought:
for God is above all schemers.” .
Pepe Escobar:
''Sweden, Denmark and Germany - and the whole EU -
know that if you really confront the Empire in public
the Empire will strike back, manufacturing a war on
European soil. This is about fear --- and not fear of
Russia. The Empire simply cannot afford to lose
the “garden.” And the “garden” elites... with an
IQ over room temperature ------ know they are
dealing with.... a psychopathic serial killer
entity, which simply cannot be appeased.''
The New York Times reported in 2021:
“Police killings in America have been undercounted by
more than half, over the past four decades, according
to a new study. About 55 percent of fatal encounters
with the police between 1980 and 2018, were listed
as another cause of death.”
Fred Reed:
''In my days of walking the E-ring.... in the Pentagon,
I read manuals... on how to keep soldiers fighting
after they had received lethal doses of radiation.
They don’t die immediately.. and, depending on
dosage, might be administered stimulants to
keep them on their feet, or so the manuals
said. These manuals --- also discussed
whether these walking dead.. should
be told that they were about to die.''
Eric Arthur Blair:
''Given the advanced state of decay of the US.... and
the unstoppable rise of China and Russia militarily,
industrially, economically and socially --- there is
zero prospect of the USA prevailing. There are
only two possible outcomes:- either the USA
backs down -- or there will be global nuclear
Armageddon. There is nothing in between.''
Belgium’s prime minister Alexander De Croo:
“We are risking a massive deindustrialisation
of the European continent and the long-term
consequences of that --- might actually, be
very deep. Our populations... are getting
invoices... which are completely insane.
At some point, it will snap. I understand
that people are angry. . . people don’t
have the means to pay.”
Declan Hayes:
''Let’s face it, at day’s end, American-style democracy is
all about war and conquest, no matter what serial war
criminal happens to be at the helm. Zelensky, the
pathetic actor in charge of a kleptocratic state,
is a good democrat, because he is a godsend
to the EU/NATO war industry. Ditto the coke
head who fronts the Finnish regime and
Finland’s other warrior women, who
wouldn’t fight their collective way
out of a bag of coke.''
Shashi Tharoor:
“Alex von Tunzelmann’s clever start to her book
'Indian Summer', made my point most tellingly:-
‘In the beginning, there were two nations. One
was a vast, mighty and magnificent empire,
brilliantly organized and culturally unified,
which dominated a massive swath of the
earth. The other was an undeveloped,
semifeudal realm -- riven by religious
factionalism and barely able to feed
its illiterate, diseased, and stinking
masses. The first nation was India.
The second, was England.”
Head of the CPRF, Gennady Zyuganov:
''Standing in the way of our fraternal aspirations, are the
selfish interests of transnational capital, epitomized by
the USA and its NATO allies. Seeking to prevent global
capitalism from sinking in a full-scale crisis, they are
using.. sundry mechanisms of hybrid wars, broaden-
ing their expansion and fomenting managed chaos.
The tentacles of this octopus have, already, got a
stranglehold on Ukraine. The Bandera clique is
brought to power in Kiev, in order to impose
economic bondage on a fraternal country,
strengthen the anti-Russian alliance in
Eastern Europe and form the “Baltic-
Black Sea cordon sanitaire.”
George C. Marshall, Chief of Staff, US Army:
“The gallantry and aggressive fighting spirit
of the Russian soldiers command the
American army’s admiration.”
Pepe Escobar:
''The Doomsday Clock set up by the Bulletin of
the Atomic Scientists in 1947, is now placed
at only 100 seconds from midnight. Right
on “Doom’s doorstep”. This is where
a bunch of American psychos
is leading us.''
Folk saying:
''The wise have to think for the fools.''
Frank Knox, US Secretary of the Navy:
“We and our allies, owe and acknowledge
an everlasting debt of gratitude... to the
armies and people of the Soviet Union.”
Commentator on the Saker:
''It’s not that we in the UK haven’t suffered enough,
the majority have now grown used to it and think
it’s normal. Dark days ahead of us.''
Vladimir ilyich Lenin:
“The war must be waged for real, or it
must not be waged at all. There can
be no middle ground.”
Head of Russia’s communist
party, Gennady Zyuganov:
“So, the President signed decrees on the admission of
the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions into
Russia. Bridges are burned . What was clear from
the moral and statist points of view - has now
become a legal fact: on our land there is an
enemy, he kills and maims the citizens of
Russia. The country demands --- the
most decisive action to protect
compatriots. Time does
not wait.”
Hanan Ashrawi:
“We're being shelled and bombed and assassinated
and killed. Our homes are being destroyed, our
children traumatized. Our livelihoods, our
institutions, our infrastructure
totally demolished.”
Henry L. Stimson, US Secretary of War:
“History knows no greater display of courage
than that shown by the people of Soviet Russia”
Evo Morales:
“NATO is, ultimately, the United States. It is not a
guarantor for humanity or for life. I do not accept
in fact I condemn, how they can exclude Russia
from the UN Human Rights Council, when the
US has intervened in Iraq and in Libya, in so
many countries, in recent years. Why have
they, not been expelled from the Human
Rights Council? Why was that
never questioned?”
Nina Simone:
''Slavery has never been abolished
from America’s way of thinking.''
Alexander Lebed:
"I never consider 'ifs' and 'buts.'
If grandma had a beard,
she'd be grandpa."
Thomas Jefferson:
“If the American people... ever allow private banks to
control the issue of their currency - first by inflation,
then by deflation, the banks will deprive the people
of all property --- until their children wake up
homeless on the continent their fathers
conquered. The issuing power should
be taken from the banks and
restored to the people, to
whom it properly
belongs.”
Old Proverb:
''Lies spread with the wind ... but
Truth can travel against the wind.''
Harold Wilson:
''He who rejects change, is the architect of
decay. The only human institution which
rejects progress, is the cemetery.''
James Madison Jr.:
''A standing military force, with an overgrown Executive
will not long be safe companions to liberty. The means
of defence against foreign danger, have been always
the instruments - of tyranny at home. Among the
Romans, it was a standing maxim to excite a
war - whenever a revolt was apprehended.
Throughout all Europe, the armies [were]
kept up; under the pretext of defending,
have enslaved, the people.''
William Hazlitt:
''A gentle word, a kind look, a good-natured smile
can work wonders and accomplish miracles.''
Viktor Orban, of Hungary:
"We are taught that sanctions are imposed by the
strong against the weak. But if you look at the
energy sanctions, you can see that we are
energy dwarfs in Europe, who impose
sanctions against the energy giant.
In my opinion, this cannot lead to
anything good. If we lifted the
sanctions --- the situation in
Europe would immediately
improve."
Sergey Lavrov's remarks to UN Security Council:
''Then Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseny Yatsenyuk
said in 2015, that sub-humans lived in Donbass.
the current President, Vladimir Zelensky has
not moved too far.. from this. When asked
what he thought.. about the residents of
Donbass, in his interview, in September
2021 he replied that some were people
and others were creatures or animal
species. This is a salient feature
of the Ukrainian regime, both
under Petr Poroshenko and
Vladimir Zelensky.''
Signs on public transport in Riga, Latvia:
"Attention! Seats for Russian speakers are
only on the back platform of the bus!"
The mayor of the city of Dnepr Boris Filatov:
“Now is the time for cold fury. We now have
the full moral right to calmly and with a
completely clear mind kill these non-
humans around the world, for the
foreseeable future --- and in the
largest possible quantities.”
Percy Shelley:
''Empire has a long memory, tries to erase the past,
is terrified of the memory and the gigantic
shadows of the future.''
Maria Zakharova:
''The West’s biggest dream is to set prices for the
resources they do not own. They’ve been doing
this for centuries. They took things from other
people for free - & had those other people pay
them for doing so -- thus making independent
countries & nations their colonies, satellites,
semi-colonies and vassals. Now, they have
moved to plan B --- which is wrapped up in
economic terms such as “oil price caps”
and is called “control over resources.”
In fact, what we are witnessing is
theft, when someone who isn't
entitled to ''dispose of'' others
resources is dictating prices
for these resources.''
Corrupt unelected E.U. boss, Von der Leyen:
"We will see the result of the vote in Italy.
If things go in a difficult direction,
we have tools, as in the case
of Poland and Hungary."
Caitlin Johnstone:
''The US empire continually works to strengthen its
stranglehold over global economic and financial
systems ------ so that it can starve disobedient
populations anywhere in the world, without
firing a shot. Once you get this ---- you get
why the empire sees a multi-polar world
as such a threat.''
Caitlin Johnstone:
Americans: drinkable water please.
US government: Sorry, did you say
...send billions of dollars worth of
weapons to Ukraine and Taiwan?
Americans: no, drinkable water.
US government: Alright, you drive a
hard bargain, but here’s billions of
dollars of weapons for Ukraine
and Taiwan.
Maria Zakharova:
''We understand --- that Washington has set course for
global destabilisation. We can see this.... in various
regions of Asia, Europe, Africa & just everywhere.
We also understand --- why this is happening.
Washington lacks internal and legitimate
external resources for its own develop-
ment and to overcome its economic
and political crisis. So, they have
turned to unlawful actions.''
Maria Zakharova:
''A unilateral world - will end up in a deadlock. This
is already happening. Only a world of harmonious
existence... has a chance to survive.''
President Zelensky of Ukraine:
"In Germany, there are certain psychological
barriers to the supply of weapons to
Ukraine, related to its Nazi past."
Unelected E.U. Commission
head, Ursula von der Leyen:
"This is a war against our energy, a war against our
economy, a war against our values, a war against
our future. And I stand here, with the conviction
that, with courage and solidarity, Putin will fail,
Europe will triumph. Europe's solidarity with
Ukraine --- will remain unwavering. And I
want to make it clear --- that sanctions
against Russia will remain in place,
until its economy is torn apart.
Now - is the time for
determination,
not peace."
Ursula Von der Leyen:
''...arrest Putin, send him to
the Hague, or even kill him.''
Caitlin Johnstone:
Step 1: Set up systems that make the world’s
populations dependent on global trade.
Step 2: Work toward shoring up control over
those systems so that you decide who gets
to trade and who doesn’t.
Step 3: Dominate the entire human species
using weaponized starvation.
Western parliaments:
“We are the people, and
the people – that’s us.”
Chinese American on September 12th, 2022:
''Our morality does not come from religion, but in our
faith in ourselves. Believe about us what you will,
because our source of morality is beyond the
world view of most Europeans.''
US General Douglas MacArthur:
“The scale and grandeur of the Russian effort,
mark it as the greatest military achievement
in all history.”
Caitlin Johnstone:
''If the US empire doesn’t have wildly disproportionate
influence over whether earth’s populations can make
and use money, those populations suddenly have no
need to obey the dictates of Washington. Unilateral
sanctions are meaningless ----- if everyone can just
ignore them. So there’s literally an entire planet’s
worth of power at stake here when we’re talking
about the empire’s “great power competition”,
with Beijing and Moscow, because what that
slogan really means is preventing the rise of
a true multi-polar world - where power isn’t
as centralized. And this, is the single most
urgent threat --- facing the human species
today: a nuclear-armed empire struggling
to secure planetary domination --- at any
cost. A floundering unipolarist empire
with nuclear weapons, is dangerous
in the same way a cornered animal
with sharp fangs, is dangerous.
Except there’s a whole lot
more, at stake.''
Confucius (on rap):
“If one wants to know whether a kingdom is well
governed, whether its morals are good or bad,

the answer.”
President Putin on Tchaikovsky:
“The proverbial ‘cancel culture’ has
become a cancellation of culture.”
Historian Michael Walzer:
“The Siege of Leningrad killed more civilians
than the bombing of Hamburg, Dresden,
Hiroshima and Nagasaki combined.”
1 Peter 4:19
Let those who suffer according to the will of God
commit their souls to Him in doing good.''
Dugin:
“The fact is.... that Russia is directly opposed to
globalism - the “liberal totalitarianism” - and this
is an ideology. The fact is that globalism insists
on the complete unification of humanity, under
the leadership of a World Government --- with
the universal spread of liberal democracy,
ideologies and systems of rules and
norms based on them ---- including
gender politics, LGBT+, extreme
individualism & transhumanism.”
Dugin:
“The end of history is the victory of liberalism
and the West on a global scale, which implies
the abolition of any ideological, geopolitical,
economic and socio-cultural alternatives.”
Historian, Edward Gibbons:
“The name of Poet was almost forgotten; that of
Orator was usurped by the sophists. A cloud
of critics, of compilers, of commentators,
darkened the face of learning, and
the decline of genius was soon
followed by the corruption
of taste.”
In his first inaugural address, Lincoln said:
“I have no purpose - directly or indirectly -
to interfere with the institution of slavery
in the states where it exists. I believe
I have no lawful right to do so.”
William Seward, Lincoln’s Secretary of State:
“We show our sympathy with slavery by
emancipating slaves where we cannot
reach them --- and holding them in
bondage where we can set
them free.”

“When a man moves away from

Frédéric Bastiat:

service of the plunderers and treats the victim
- when he defends himself - as a criminal.''
Arundhati Roy:
“Once weapons were manufactured to fight wars.
Now wars are manufactured to sell weapons.”
George Bernays, nephew of Sigmund Freud:
“The conscious, intelligent, manipulation of
the habits and opinion of the masses, is an
important element in democratic society.
And those who manipulate this unseen
mechanism of society, constitute the
invisible government, which is the
true ruling power of the US.”
On August 22nd, in 1862, Lincoln wrote:
''If I could save the Union without
freeing any slave, I would do it.''
Bruce Gagnon:
''We must all work as hard and consistently as possible
to shut down our corrupt government. When ''our''
government no longer represents ‘We the people’
then we have an obligation to revolt. Why are
people so compliant? Don’t they care about
their children and grand-kids future? Do
they have a right to just give up?
I don’t think so.''
Frédéric Bastiat:
''When misguided public opinion --- honours what
is despicable, and despises what is honorable,
punishes virtue & rewards vice, encourages
what is harmful and discourages what is
useful, applauds falsehood & smothers
truth under indifference, or insult, a
nation turns its back on progress,
and can be restored, only by the
terrible lessons of catastrophe. ''

Frédéric Bastiat:
''When plunder becomes a way of life, men create for
themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a
moral code that glorifies it.''
Shoigu at the recent ‘First International
Anti-Fascist Congress’ held nr Moscow:
“It is clear that the financial and economic co-operation
between Anglo-American & Nazi business circles was a
major factor leading to the 2nd World War --- which cost
humanity, unprecedented human lives. SS legionnaires’
marches have become traditional in Estonia and Latvia
with monuments and obelisks erected to war criminals.
Nazi slogans & appeals are openly heard in the streets
of Lithuanian cities. The policy of the Kiev authorities,
to rehabilitate Nazism and incite hatred towards every
thing connected with Russia. After the collapse of the
Soviet Union --- everything was done in Washington to
turn Ukraine [& the rest of Europe] into the antipode
of Russia. The promotion of legislation - banning the
Russian language, Russian media, Russian culture -
everything related to our country was encouraged.
The fight against any manifestation of Nazism,
must therefore, be uncompromising,
and comprehensive.”
Evo Morales:
“We have profound ideological differences with the
politics implemented by the United States using
NATO, which are based on interventionism and
militarism. Between Russia and Ukraine they
want to reach an agreement and the U.S.
keeps provoking war --- the U.S. military
industry, which is able to live thanks
to war --- and they provoke wars in
order to sell their weapons.
That’s the other reality
we live in.”

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.''

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

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”.

''Tremble, all ye oppressors of the world! Take warning,

Thomas Carlyle:

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

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

Frederick Engels:
‘‘The fact is that there is no army in either Europe

Plundering, Violence, Massacres – things that

Pepe Escobar:
''NATO will continue to help Kiev to fight
until the last Ukrainian cannon fodder.''
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
aim of what we are told: not to defend
Ukraine but to prolong the conflict

defuse cataclysmic risk in the
debt market, which would
spread like wildfire
across the whole
financial sector.”
Sergei Lavrov, Russian Foreign Minister:
''When the Second World War was

look at this very carefully.''
Pepe Escobar:
''The European Commission is totally outside of any

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.''

& 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

Khosrow Golsorkhi:
''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."
Eugenio Maria de Hostos:
''Nearly all human beings love, but
nearly none know how to love.''
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.''

Michael Hudson, economist:
''I suspect that a new world economic system
is emerging. If it succeeds, the last century –

basic social ideals of classical economics
– a market free from rent-seeking
landlords, monopolies and
predatory finance.''
Charles Dickens:

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.

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
- the UN, IMF, WHO etc, are going to be remade.
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.''
St. John Chrysostom:
“The road to hell... is paved with the skulls
of erring priests, with bishops as
their signposts.”
Michael Eric Dyson:
''I don't believe in that kind of American John Wayne
individualism, where people pull themselves up by
their bootstraps. Someone changed your diapers.
And if that's the case, you ain't self-made.''
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,
but time is all it takes.''
Mary Ritter Beard:
“Despite the modern dogma to the effect that
women were a subject sex --- until the 19th
century 'emancipated' them from history,
women - in history - had demonstrated
strong wills and purposes, had made
assertions, and had directed or
influenced all human destiny,
including their own, since
human life began.”
Chelsea Manning:
''Read everything. Ask your own questions.
Be your own filter. Nobody is going to look
at the world around you and tell you what
important things are happening... that
affect you and the ones you love.''
Marina Silva:
“Now more than ever, we need sustainable
development.. and not the kind of develop
-ment that we are seeing right now... That
means, a country that is environmentally
sustainable, politically democratic,
and socially developed”.
German chancellor Scholz, in Davos:
''Putin can never win in Ukraine because it is
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,
