Or that they wanted everything folded into 13 Public-Private Corporations to run everything, that Junkers was complaining he was only the titular head of his own company in 1934, and that it eventually was taken from him and placed in the Goering Aircraft Concern... and that official NSDAP policy and laws said all Property Property is conditional on the goals of the state...

"Vulture Economy" - huge dense tome, I think it's available for free on the internet. Packed with all the Socialist, Centralizing, Command Economy actions of the National SOCIALIST German WORKERS Party, and most of them prior to 1939.

As for Japan, it was the "Tri-partite" Pact against Communism, though it was first used against the Democracies Poland, France, Denmark, Netherlands, Belgium, and UK. Since Japan had fought the Soviets recently, several incidents in the 1930s, it was a way of making the Soviets worry about their Far East as well as the West.

And of course the Nazis happily split Poland with the USSR, screwing up the UK-French hopes for a Nazi-Commie fight that would buy them time to rearm and prepare.Hitler took Nickel, Oil, etc. from the USSR for 2 years and send tech and cash in return.

German saboteurs were arrested in Poland a week before Fall Weiss and the Radio Station, they were under Radio Silence and didn't get the message the attack was delayed.

Hitler's goal was a new HRE, centered in Berlin rather than in Vienna. And a way of gaining Lebensraum in the East, instead of overseas due to the British Navy that made it vulnerable. Also the German people were very "Meh" about colonizing when they did have overseas possessions prior to the end of WW1. Germans preferred to migrate to other European's colonies or independent countries in the New World, particularly the USA, Colombia, and Brazil

In the 1930s, there were countless independent daily and weekly papers in the US with opinions all over the map from Hard Socialist to "Liquidate all businesses" to Let's Imitate Mussolini. From "We gotta fight!" to "Stay the Hell Out". The Overton Window was massively wide before WW2 broke out, esp. in the USA.

I watch some vlogging man-on-the-street guys, one mentioned a couple of things that were kind of astonishing. Apparently Zelensky has emptied the prisons, but how this intersected with handing out 10,000 Close Quarter Rifles had not occurred to me. He said the criminal gangs had no thoughts of battling Russians but immediately started fighting each other for dominance in emptied out Kiev.


That might explain that strange video of the guy being gunned down, if that was Ukraine at all

I see cars driving around and unarmed, clearly civilian people walking around Kiev on webcams and footage that is supposedly from today, inc. the Kiev Tower footage you can see civilian cars driving, following the road rules, etc.

I stopped reading at "Putin's goals are to militarily neutralize Ukraine, get rid of the Nazi extremists". Ukrainian president is a Jew, so It may as well have been "get rid of the Nazi extremists and their synagogue".



I don't know how many real Nazi believers there are in the Ukraine, could just be propaganda, like Trump being a Nazi.

But I am pretty sure that Russia has a legitimate security concern about Ukraine joining NATO.
Trump comparison is pretty accurate. Not that there are no Nazis there, just like in Russia or US. But Russians leveraged historical angle to the extreme to capitalize on that, and Poroshenko made it somewhat easy for them. He isn't a Nazi, just like Trump isn't, but he was easy to paint as such, easier than Trump. Then Poroshenko lost election to a Jew actor, but the propaganda machine couldn't turn back. They just ignored that inconvenient fact in the mainstream.

We could have a conversation about their NATO-related safety concerns before the attack. Now? Not so much.

Those fleeing to Russia in dun color, small arrow; those fleeing to west bright yellow highlight.

"Migrants" go to Russia, but "Refugees" go to Europe.

The fact that more Ukrainians went to Russia than any other single country except Poland is nicely glossed over.

This graphic is not accidental or careless.

Germany's disastrous move to drop nuclear power and even more disastrous move to not source carbon based fuels locally (I'd say move to "decarbonize" but it's really just not to use local coal) means Germany is highly reliant on Russia for oil and natural gas. This puts the west in a bind: energy embargo against Russia as sanctions means Germany industry grinds to a halt without power and citizens freezes to death without heat; similarly any war action can be countered by Russia just choosing to shut down energy to Germany with the same kind of results. Meanwhile, China will still buy plenty of energy and other resources from Russia.

So, the conflict is actually economically good for Russia because it spikes oil and gas prices. Something like 90% of the value of Russia's exports is from oil and gas. Even if they sell less of both, they may still see higher profits because of the increased price. If the west embargos Russian energy, Russia won't suffer all that much, but the west will suffer greatly.

Now Facebook has decided to unban these guys because they’re fighting Russia:

The battalion’s first commander and a former Ukrainian parliamentarian, Andriy Biletsky, stated that Ukraine’s national purpose was to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade … against Semite-led Untermenschen [subhumans].”

What an interesting take on it.

They aren't attacking the Semites directly, they are attacking their arms and legs. Hmm.



Are we perhaps being similarly manipulated?

Corruption
Money laundering
Bio weapons labs
Human trafficking including children
And the fact that Russia would not surrender to the globalists vision of a one world communist Govn with mind control and social credit scores for the sheeple.

Putin is removing a Deep State Cabal.
The war is hidden from 'normal' people because they simply would not accept the truth and sink deeper into the narrative trance fed them.
The media is paid for by this cabal and is corrupt and so won't report the truth. There are only something like 6 media corporations but they own a plethora of publishing titles.
Big Tech too!
The war against this Cabal is nearly won and the world, especially for most, will turn upside down this year.

Russia versus Ukraine, good versus evil, and two kleptocratic shades of gray
This is not a comic book hero story.

There are geopolitical realities, and then there are ideological frameworks and constructs that don’t bear any resemblance to reality. In America today, we are dealing with the latter framework through shoddy, biased war reporting, presented to us by the corporate media and our ruling class, which insists upon a dichotomy that doesn't exist.

Let’s talk about reality, detached from all of the morality signaling on social media and TV.

Though Russia is the aggressor, and is therefore, responsible for most of the violence and suffering in Ukraine, this does not mean Ukraine can suddenly be labeled as an extension to American founding ideals.

We, the free people of the world, can absolutely support a country that is currently defending itself, but we don’t need to pretend that Ukraine is something that it is not.

Ukraine and Russia might sport separate flags, and they might currently play for different Great Power teams, but the two nations are not so different, after all. On the governance scale, both countries rank as two of the most kleptocratic and corrupted countries on earth. In Russia, oligarchs have heavy sway over the economy and politics of the nation. The same applies in Ukraine, where the sitting president was elected as the mere patron of a powerful oligarch. The average Ukrainian struggles mightily under this unfair, broken system. Ukraine is a country of abject poverty, where the average citizen earns around $3700 bucks a year.

In 2021, Ukraine’s President Zelensky, facing declining poll ratings, took it upon himself to place his foremost political rival under house arrest, while shutting down opposition television networks, all in the name of “national security.”

Why don’t Russia and Ukraine get along? Well, sometimes they do. Ukrainians often elect both pro-West and pro-Russia candidates to higher office. Western governments, in recent history, have not supported when the latter situation occurs, sometimes fomenting clandestine color revolutions to seek their exit from politics in Ukraine. ...

Ukrainian leaders now seem committed to trying to drag their Western partners into face to face conflict with Russia. Ukrainian politicians have a lot to lose, including, potentially their lives, so their desperation is somewhat understandable.

Ukraine might be winning the propaganda war, but the war on the ground tells a different story. Russia continues to secure access to the sea, and it will soon succeed in completely cutting off Ukrainian forces. Russia might be facing heavy sanctions, but its armies continue vacuuming up territory in Ukraine.



So far, NATO (the United States military) has rejected intervening and they should not intervene, because World War 3 is not worth it. But powerful western interests in Washington, D.C. and Brussels are attempting to use Ukrainians as pawns for a longstanding political campaign against Moscow. The massive weapons shipments continue to arrive in western Ukraine, with hopes that Ukrainians will use them in a long campaign against Russia. I hope Ukrainians recognize this, and refuse to act as human sacrifices for these campaigns.

Ukraine, facing a tug of war between Russia and the West, has a way out of the mess, if only its leaders choose to accept the reality it is facing.

Putin’s terms are pretty straightforward.

The recognition of Crimea as part of Russia

The demilitarization of Ukraine

Given that this is Russia’s initial approach, Ukraine can probably find some flexibility on the second demand. Though key to the agreement will come through Ukraine recognizing some geopolitical realities, like the fact that Crimea is most certainly gone, and that the pro-Russia separatist regions in Ukraine want nothing to do with Ukraine.

Since its modern recognition in 1991, Ukraine has remained bogged down by corruption, bad governance, and damaging foreign influence. Should Ukraine truly commit to remaining neutral, the country can reset relations with its neighbors and one day become a free and prosperous nation.

Covid seems to be on the way out so why develop International Vaccine Passports?
Are viruses developed in biolabs and unleashed on the unsuspecting public to contain population and implement control?
Would the sheeple resist if they knew or would they just obediently believe what the media and big tech and Govn told them to believe and do?
Would many just go along with it anyway? Surrender their freedoms because they just can't be arsed?
Don't believe what you see in the media about damage in Ukraine, that is the Deep State inflicting war on its own people for propaganda purposes.
The hidden war will soon be out in the open and the truth will hit the sheeple like a nuclear bomb.
The Deep State Cabal will fall.
To the victors the spoils.

Putin understands America’s moral decay
He and Xi Jinping think we’re weak and dissolving from within. Could they be right?

March 2, 2022

Last October, Vladimir Putin aired a speech to the Russian nation chiding the United States for its moral decay. He observed an America “blotting out whole pages” of its history, pursuing “reverse discrimination against the majority in the interests of minorities,” and renouncing time-honored values in an effort at “public renewal.”

“It’s their right, but we are asking them to steer clear of our home,” he warned. “We have a different viewpoint.” This iteration of family values and conservative critique went barely noticed by the American press at the time.

Comparing current social chaos in the US to 1917 Russia, Putin declared that “the fight for equality and against discrimination turns into an aggressive dogmatism on the brink of absurdity,” resulting in thought controls that are sometimes “tighter and stricter than what the Department of Propaganda of the Soviet Communist Party Central Committee did.” The perverse desire to “eliminate the whole notion of men and women,” and to insist that children believe this, he concluded, comes close to a “crime against humanity.”

The Chinese government likewise observes rapid deterioration in Western societies, an increase in racial discord, rising crime rates, family breakdown, vandalism, and political extremism that it believes results from an excess of individual freedom.

Putin and Xi know. After decades of coercive, doctrinaire multiculturalism, abundant sexual follies, and anti-white calumny, the US has arrived as an aggregation of races, ethnicities and social classes that have little in common and that don’t like each other much.

Both Russia’s and China’s leadership think the West’s reigning spirit is at best unsteady and frivolous, and at worst depraved; either way it’s a disposition to discourage in their own societies. Even Hollywood’s and Silicon Valley’s power brokers must be privately amazed as to how easy it is to control childlike minds with buzzy ads, electronic games, and emotive news, a manufactured world of celebrity, dreams and magic.

Putin and Xi must laugh like jackals when Yahoo “news” features “comedian” Chelsea Handler, the pride of Martha’s Vineyard and Bel-Air, “skiing topless with a joint in one hand and drink in the other.” She’s celebrating her forty-seventh birthday, plugging her 2022 national tour, “Horny and Vaccinated.” They do not see Chelsea as kicky or fun. From Jeff Koons’s $97 million “Rabbit” to the freakish Sam Brinton, nuclear wastes overseer, the American surrender to morbidity must appear to both heads of state proof-positive of stage-four terminal capitalism.

Putin is a cold-blooded realist, untouched by smiley-face politics, with memories of 18th-century empire, still stewing over Soviet reversals. His authoritarian, highly nationalistic style and assertive foreign policy seek to rebuild the Russian sphere of influence in Eastern Europe and the Middle East, not reestablish Soviet ideology. What he must think when America’s vice president, Kamala Harris, announces, “We won’t be silent about race. We won’t be silent about sexual orientation. We won’t be silent about immigrant’s rights. These are the very issues that define our identity as Americans.”

Americans at the top and the bottom of the social pyramid detest — or feel complete indifference toward — the nation’s classical, Christian, and Anglo-European foundations. Talk of commonwealth and common culture are rhetorical flourishes that inspire only the innocent and naive. We’re all in this together, go the jingles, but we’re not, not right now, least of all the woke plutocrats and their allies who see opportunity in wrecking old authorities.

The fish rots from its head. The New York Times’s 1619 Project calls for “reframing” American history and civics as the story of white supremacy and black subjection. Domestic terrorist-turned-sage Angela Davis comes to Andover to tell the nation’s future leaders they are being schooled on stolen land. Episcopalian bishops, Harvard deans, Ford Foundation executives, and Met curators climb onboard the crazy train, as style dictates. Holland Cotter over at the Times — on the day the US folded in Afghanistan — wondered whether “historic works of art can be considered exempt from modern moral scrutiny,” condemning “gender-based power plays” in Titian and Veronese’s mythical allegories. ...

The functional, well-adjusted, and normative give up, flee, or seek enclaves where they and their children can be secure, where streets are clean and neighbors are civil, and where schools teach basic academics unencumbered by anti-white or anti-American feeling. Despised yeomen acquiesce in their lost status, or turn in vain to Donald J. Trump for salvation. Half of the nation resists deracination. The other half turns it into a mission.

What feels edgy and liberating at the top gets rank and seedy fast in slums and backwaters, the grim places where big trucks and beaten-up RVs are parked on the neighbor’s lawn. At a time in the nation’s history when almost one of two newborns is born out of wedlock, insisting on firm family ideals is politically impossible.

The insensate and criminal are not just a few vagrants and sociopaths, living in shadows, facing universal pity and contempt. The welfare state has been feeding clients and their children for three or four generations, and its subsidies have not produced a better, stronger people grateful for their nation’s largesse and security. ...

Testing Western resolve is bound to continue. Putin and Xi know their rivals are poorly positioned politically and psychologically to confront austerity or force, the Ukraine invasion being one early probe into geopolitical power. For now, it’s chilling to think that Putin and Xi might perceive America’s internal weaknesses more clearly than most of the nation’s own ruling class.

So, let's run with the premise that Trump was the only one standing in the Russia's way (which seems to be the case considering that Putler was sitting quietly through his term). What would Trump do? He did provide weapons and he did impose meaningful sanctions on the fuckers' gas infrastructure. So would he do more of the above and what's being done now? Less?
117   Patrick   2022 Mar 3, 10:16am  

Dunno what Trump would do, but i'm quite sure that Trump did not have a son taking bribes from Ukrainian gas companies. Biden did, and Pelosi, and Romney, and Kerry. Funny how they're all Democrats.

https://t.me/greatreject/31599?source=patrick.net

Fierce reaction from the Biden thing when a journalist asks a question about "his" son and the connection to Ukraine.


I suspect that the war is somehow partly about the truly extreme and open corruption of powerful Democrats in Ukraine.
118   AmericanKulak   2022 Mar 3, 10:23am  

Biden: Ukraine is Iran. Except with thousands of nuclearheads and the nuclear triad.

This is the Neocon position.

The real question should be: Who at State and which National Security Advisors that let it get to this point will be fired?

If there's no shakeup, you know that our Government's motivations are contrary to pursuing calmness and order, but have other motives.
