Moscow provocation seems to be backfiring already.
This Week:
Financial repression by policy.
Government debt will be your problem.
Pick the legitimate leader.
They’re getting desperate to provoke Putin.
Taiwanese tinderbox.
EUSSR
An ideological colony on multiple fronts according to Marion Maréchal - niece of Marine Le Pen.
“A digital colony of the United States, an economic colony of China. A colony or on the verge of becoming a demographic colony of Africa, and on the verge of becoming a religious and cultural colony of Islam.”
Liquidation of Government Debt
The masochists running government and the financial system tell us openly how they will solve their debt problem. Hint; it’s not by liquidating the debt, but liquidating your savings and purchasing power. From a 2011 IMF paper titled ‘The Liquidation of Government Debt’:
Got it? Governments worldwide as a result of over spending and the massive debts they’ve accumulated will:
Rather than reign in their own spending habits (how else will they buy your votes?), government will initiate financial repression on their citizens.
Take away your choice and force your savings into crappy government bonds with low growth, that don’t keep up with rising prices.
Prevent you from moving your capital out of their system, such as overseas or into Bitcoin - an escape valve they don’t control.
To help the entire process, they’ll ramp up the money printers to inflate away the debt ie. destroy the value of the bonds (debt) they’ll force you to put your savings into.
This isn’t conspiracy, it’s literally policy.
Legitimate Rule
Unsurprisingly, in last week’s Presidential election in Russia, Putin received 87% of votes cast with a 77% voter turnout. Zelensky in Ukraine had this to say:
“The Russian dictator is simulating another election. Everone in the world understands that this figure has simply become addicted to power and is doing everything he can to rule forever…There is no legitimacy in this imitation of elections and there cannot be.”
These comments after Russia actually held an election albeit with the domestic support Putin has, the result was a forgone conclusion. Zelensky on the other hand has postponed elections by marshal law as he knows he’d be lucky to muster 10% support from voters.
Who is doing all they can to rule for longer? Who do you think has more legitimacy?
Leaders in the West screeching how Putin is illegitimate, rigs elections, oppresses his people etc etc - should perhaps just look at the basic facts to understand his popularity with the Russian people. Which Western leader can claim these types of results since taking office?
Russia
A terrorist attack on a theater in Moscow with hundreds gunned down. The death toll currently at over 140.
ISIS very quickly claimed responsibility and mass media regurgitated this far and wide without question in record time.
The same ISIS that is CIA funded and based out of Northern Syria where the US military occupies the territory. Terrorists for hire, but I digress.
Isn’t it amazing how definitive they can be on who perpetrated the attack and that it absolutely, 100%, definitely was NOT Ukraine? Considering two years later they still can’t seem to work out exactly who bombed the Nordstream pipelines?
Or this sort of brain rot:
The West can’t even coordinate their spin correctly. Was it 100%, definitely ISIS… or was it Putin again?
The intent was to see the attackers eliminated on the spot by Russian forces in order to be able to play out the ISIS angle with no solid proof otherwise. But Russian authorities decided to let them escape Moscow to capture them alive later. From raw footage circulating, it appears the attackers are already disclosing inordinate amounts of information on who contacted them, recruited them, paid them (USD 5,000 up front with promise of another 5,000 to follow in Ukraine), and who was supposed to welcome them in Ukraine.
This is a provocation, pure and simple.
Who is ultimately behind this attack is yet to be seen; CIA, MI6, BND, Ukraine or any combination thereof. Though let’s not kid ourselves, if it turns out it was ‘Ukraine’ again, yes again; Bucha massacres, nuclear power plant shelling, even the Nordstream attacks when they were eventually thrown under the bus to take the heat off when the idiotic story that Russia bombed its own pipeline fell apart. A Ukrainian terrorist leadership in Kiev cannot exist without the direct funding and tacit approval of its backers in the UK, US and EUSSR.
Realise this attack for what it is. The West is getting desperate and knows the Ukraine fight is all but lost at this point. They have been trying for over two years now to provoke Putin into making an unforced, rushed error out of emotion (assuming we ignore the eight years of sabotaged Minsk Agreements prior to 2022).
A cassus belli the West can point to as an excuse for all out NATO war on Russia.
Putin will remain measured in his response and continues to avoid the bait. But as these provocations from the West continue, we can be sure of one thing -it’s proving to the Russians there is no trust left and the imperative of protecting their homeland remains paramount. A hostile regime left in Kiev cannot be tolerated, regardless of the timeline which is of secondary importance.
Taiwan
The US keeps poking:
Taiwan has officially confirmed the presence of US troops stationed on its islands in the Taiwan Strait permanently, a development that could further escalate mounting tensions with China.
