The Ukrainian situation lurches unsteadily towards a full-scale war. First came Nord Stream. Then came the Kerch Strait Bridge. Questions that come to mind.
The idea that the administration would bring the world to the brink of nuclear war to win an election (or to at least mitigate the losses) seems unthinkable to some people. The idea that leaders of western governments would resort to this to stay in power seems ludicrous and incredibly evil. Ludicrous it is not. Incredibly evil it is.
Hurricane Ian has driven some of the speculation about the Nord Stream Pipelines sabotage off the front pages. People in this country are more concerned about the day-to-day recovery activities going on in Florida. Tom Luongo has written an article about the sabotage and the more pressing question of whodunit.
We have heard for years about how PDJT was Putin’s puppet. PDJT was doing Putin’s bidding. Now it turns out that Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY), the current majority leader of the US Senate, was actually Putin’s puppet.
The Democrats who think they rule the world are having a bad week. Their control over what is happening in the financial markets is evaporating. They need a war to distract the public from the incredible mess they have made of the economy. From my perspective this mess appears to be deliberate. They are trying to collapse the economy so that people will be dependent on the government.
Dr. Tom Woods has published an opinion by economist Jeffrey Sachs of Columbia University about the Nord Stream sabotage. At this point, I am surprised that Sachs still has a job there after he spoke the truth as he sees it regarding the blowing up of the pipelines. Dr. Woods has added his own insights in several places.
The act of blowing up the Nord Stream Pipelines shows us the world is not what we think it is. Regardless of who actually did the physical deed, these actions telegraph that there are those who believe that this will advance their agenda the most. These are people who think they are entitled to run the world. And they cannot accept that they are losing.
Russia has annexed four provinces that were formerly part of Ukraine. Ceremonies have been held in Moscow celebrating these events. This was done after the provinces held referendums on which country they wanted to be part of.
What I have written above are the facts as they exist right now. There is no bias to these facts. There is no ideological bent to these facts. Where there is disagreement is in the stated results.
Russia claimed that the result was favorable to them. The West claims it was all a fraud. In war everybody lies about something.
On Monday “leaks” were detected in the Nord Stream 1 and Nord Stream 2 pipelines. The leaks in the pipelines were detected northeast and southeast of the Danish island of Bornholm. Simultaneous with the detection of these “leaks,” seismologists detected underwater explosions at the site of the Nord Stream pipelines gas leaks in the Baltic Sea.
Here’s what they’re up to now.
Ursula von der Leyen, president of the European Commission, is speaking of “flattening the curve” — but she’s not speaking about COVID.
She’s using that propaganda phrase for a whole new purpose now. The “curve” is energy use.
