Heading Where?

State of Play
I’ve not made an alternative news post for quite some time, mainly out profound disillusionment with the state of the world. However, it’s time to take stock and assess the state of play in the world today. Brendon O’Connell, whom I follow on YouTube, feels that the tide has turned and that the USA is finally asserting itself and confronting the forces that seek to undermine it. Brendon thinks that Putin was lured into attacking Ukraine in the expectation that the country would offer little resistance. However, with NATO and United States support, Ukraine has pushed back and Putin’s plan to take the country has been thwarted. I don’t see it that way at all.
In my mind, Putin was very much following a script he had been given. If he had really wanted to take over Ukraine, he could have done so easily but instead he dithered on the border for quite some time before attacking and even then only half-heartedly. The purpose of the invasion was to disrupt the supply of grain to the outside world and to drive up the price of natural gas. The Chinese lockdowns had already seriously disrupted the world’s supply chains and so the Ukraine invasion exacerbated an already bad situation. Russia and China have adequate food but not so the rest of the world.
Rising prices of all commodities around the world are driving more individuals and small businesses into bankruptcy and this is very much in line with Agenda 2030 where individuals are envisaged as owning nothing and being happy. More and more wealth will flow to the already wealthy while the 99% sink into neofeudalism. Russia and China are playing the long game. The former has become a global pariah and the latter seems to be shooting itself in the foot with its lockdowns and incessant testing but both countries can ride out the storm that will engulf the world and, with ample gold reserves, are well-positioned to benefit from the new global currency that will replace the ailing US dollar as the world’s reserve currency.
I think both Russia’s Putin and China’s Xi are both doing what the City of London and the European banking cartel have instructed them to do. Their actions are bringing the world to its knees but in the long term their countries will emerge stronger and part of a trading block that will include Iran and Pakistan and perhaps other countries. Putin must have known that his invasion of Ukraine would drive countries like Finland and Sweden into the arms of NATO. That is the intention of the global elite who are playing this chess game. Tension between Russia and its European neighbours and between China and its southeast Asian neigbours is vital to maintain arms sales and keep global citizens in a state of apprehension.
Organisations such as the WHO and WEF will dominate nation states, dictating policies that all nation states must follow or suffer the consequences. In the next year or so, as the economies of more countries implode, the level of indebtness to the IMF and World Bank will soar and economic independence will plummet. Even more so than now, politicians will simple follow instructions issued by their overlords and individuals will suffer helplessly as each country’s police enforce the implementation of these instructions. For example, the WHO may declare another pandemic and issue instructions regarding vaccines, lockdowns etc. that the politicians in each country must implement, having signed the pandemic treaty.
Brendon seems to have succumbed to a Q-Anon type of delusion, wherein he anticipates that the United States will be great again and live up to the ideals of its founding fathers. He sees the country as the only one with a real committment to individual freedom and, if it loses its superpower status, we are all doomed to live in smart city gulags under constant surveillance and our freedom of movement dependent on our social credit score. He hopes that the United States has realised that it has been compromised by a foreign power (Israel) and take appropriated action, including occupation of Palestine. This to me seems unrealistic.
However, there is an growing awareness within the United States that its partnership with Israel has benefited only the latter. Whether it generates enough momentum to cause a foreign policy reassessment is doubtful. It seems that the US is breaking apart and that the goal of Israel, to weaken the country and promote migration of wealthy or talented Jews to Israel, is well underway.

Two Hundred Years Together
In his latest book Solzhenitsyn, 84, deals with one of the last taboos of the communist revolution: that Jews were as much perpetrators of the repression as its victims. Two Hundred Years Together - a reference to the 1772 partial annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the Russian Jewish population - contains three chapters discussing the Jewish role in the revolutionary genocide and secret police purges of Soviet Russia.
Of course, he was immediately accused of antisemitism in writing the book but anyone who reads it cannot fail to appreciate his efforts to provide a balanced view of a complex relationship.
I found this section of his book about the Civil War of great interest. To quote:
The Civil War spilled over Russia’s borders. Let’s review that briefly (though the events in Europe are outside of the scope of this book).
The Bolsheviks invaded Poland in 1920 ... it appears that Polish Jews met the Red Army very warmly. According to a Soviet source, whole battalions of Jewish workers participated in the fighting at Minsk. Reading from the Jewish Encyclopedia: “on numerous occasions, Poles accused Jews of supporting the enemy, of `anti-Polish ́, `pro-Bolshevist ́ and even `pro-Ukrainian ́ attitudes.” During the Soviet-Polish war many Jews “were killed [by Polish Army] on charges of spying for the Red Army.”
The Soviets quickly formed a revolutionary “government” for Poland headed by F. Dzerzhinsky. In it were Y. Markhlevsky and F. Kon. Of course, they were surrounded by “blood work” specialists and ardent propagandists. (Among the latter we see a former pharmacist from Mogilev A. I. Rotenberg. Soon after the aborted Red revolution in Poland, he, together with Bela Kun and Zalkind-Zemlyachka, went on to conduct the deadly “cleansing” of the Crimea. In 1921 he participated in that glorious work again – this time “purging” Georgia, again under the direct command of Dzerzhinsky. At the end of 1920s Rotenberg was in charge of the Moscow NKVD.)
Not only Poland but Hungary and Germany as well were affected by the Red Revolution. An American researcher writes: “the intensity and tenacity of anti-Semitic prejudice in both the east and the center of Europe was significantly influenced by Jewish participation in the revolutionary movement.” “In the beginning of 1919, the Soviets, under predominantly Jewish leadership, started revolutions in Berlin and Munich,” and “the share of activist Jews was” disproportionately high in the German Communist Party of that period,” though “that party’s support in the Jewish community at large was not significant.” Four out of eleven members of the Central Committee were Jews with a university education.” In December 1918, one of them, Rosa Luxemburg, wrote: “In the name of the greatest aspirations of humankind, our motto when we deal with our enemies is: “Finger into the eye, knee on the chest!”
Rebellion in Munich was led by a theater critic, Kurt Eisner, a Jew of “bohemian appearance.” He was killed, but the power in conservative and Catholic Bavaria was seized by “a new government made up of leftist intellectual Jews, who proclaimed the `Bavarian Soviet Republic ́”(G. Landauer, E. Toller, E. Muhsam, O. Neurath) In a week the republic “was overthrown by an even more radical group,” which declared the “Second Bavarian Soviet Republic” with Eugen Levine at the helm. [35] Let’s read an article about him in the Encyclopedia: born into merchant Jewish family, he used to be a socialist-revolutionary; he participated in the [Russian] revolution of 1905, later became German national, joined the “Spartacist movement” of R. Luxemburg and K. Liebknecht, and now he became the head of the Communist government in Bavaria, which also included the abovementioned E. Muhsam, E. Toller and a native of Russia, M. Levin. The uprising was defeated in May 1919. “The fact that the leaders of the suppressed Communist revolts were Jews was one of the most important reasons for the resurrection of political anti-Semitism in contemporary Germany.”
“While Jews played a “quite conspicuous” role in the Russian and German communist revolutions, their role in Hungary became central.... Out of 49 People’s Commissars there, 31 were Jews,” Bela Kun being the most prominent of them; “the foreign minister (de-facto head of government),” he would orchestrate a bloodbath in the Crimea half a year later. Here we find Matyas Rakosi, Tibor Szamuely, Gyorgy Lukacs. “Granted, the prime-minister was a gentile, Sandor Garbai, but Rakosi later joked that Garbai was elected because someone had to sign execution orders on Sabbath days.” “Statues of Hungarian kings and heroes were knocked off their pedestals, the national anthem outlawed, and wearing the national colors criminalized.” “The tragedy of the situation was escalated by the fact that historically Hungarian Jews were much wealthier than their Eastern-European countrymen and were much more successful in Hungarian society.”
The direct relation between the Hungarian Soviet Republic and our Civil War becomes more clear by the virtue of the fact that special Red Army Corps were being prepared to go to the rescue of the Hungarian Soviet Republic, but they couldn’t manage it in time and the Republic fell (in August 1919).
The emphasis has been added by me to highlight one of the reasons for the rise of antisemitism in Europe in the 1920's and 1930's. While the Communist revolution failed to carry beyond Russia, the Zionists of course made use of this antisemitic feeling to make Europe an increasingly uncomfortable place for Jews to live. Ultimately it proved a poisonous place to live and the intention of course was to populate Palestine by as many Jews as possible by any means possible. Communism and Zionism were at that time two sides of the same coin. Following David Ben-Gurion's return in 1923 from a visit to the Soviet Union, he declared: "I am a Bolshevik.
Of course "the 1772 partial annexation of Poland and Russia which greatly increased the Russian Jewish population" is important to bear in mind because, prior to this annexation, Poland was a much larger and more powerful country and its rise and fall was intimately connected with its Jewish citizens. Figure 1 shows a map of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth at its greatest extent.

Between 1772 and 1795, the country was partitioned three times and after 1795, it ceased to exist for 123 years.
The Partitions of Poland were three partitions of the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth that took place toward the end of the 18th century and ended the existence of the state, resulting in the elimination of sovereign Poland and Lithuania for 123 years. The partitions were conducted by the Habsburg Monarchy, the Kingdom of Prussia, and the Russian Empire, which divided up the Commonwealth lands among themselves progressively in the process of territorial seizures and annexations.
The First Partition of Poland was decided on August 5, 1772. Two decades later, Russian and Prussian troops entered the Commonwealth again and the Second Partition was signed on January 23, 1793. Austria did not participate in the Second Partition. The Third Partition of Poland took place on October 24, 1795, in reaction to the unsuccessful Polish Kościuszko Uprising the previous year. With this partition, the Commonwealth ceased to exist. Source.
The most comprehensive survey of Polish history available in English, God's Playground demonstrates Poland's importance in European history from medieval times to the present. Abandoning the traditional nationalist approach to Polish history, Norman Davies instead stresses the country's rich multinational heritage and places the development of the Jewish German, Ukrainian, and Lithuanian communities firmly within the Polish context. Davies emphasises the cultural history of Poland through a presentation of extensive poetical, literary, and documentary texts in English translation. In each volume, chronological chapters of political narrative are interspersed with essays on religious, social, economic, constitutional, philosophical, and diplomatic themes. This new edition has been revised and fully updated with two new chapters to bring the story to the end of the twentieth century.
UPDATE: at the start of Chapter 21: During the Soviet-German War, the editor inserts a very important comment on the opening page (478) of that chapter:
"... readers should note that up until now the author has closely scrutinised all the sources and his own experience, and often found Jewish and Soviet sources to be full of exaggerations and outright lies, especially in relation to supposed hardships suffered by the Jews. However, in the case of alleged actions of Hitler and the Nazi’s (their sworn enemies), all Jewish and Soviet sources are taken by the author to be absolute truth."
Again, on the first page (504) of Chapter 22: From the end of the war to Stalin's death, the editor adds a comment to what Solzhenitsyn has written:
We have seen already that Soviet propaganda did not raise any alarm about the annihilation of Jews in Germany during the war; indeed it covered up those things, obviously being afraid of appearing pro-Jewish in the eyes of its own citizens. [ed: or maybe because it wasn’t actually happening?]
It's unfortunate that the author abandoned all objectivity in his account of German actions against Jews during the war years. Clearly, he felt that any attempt at objectivity would fuel accusations of anti-semitism. Such accusations were directed at him anyway. He would have done better to leave Chapter 21 blank and let readers of the book draw their own conclusions for its blankness.

The Russian Diaspora
Israel is leading the march from a US dominated unipolar world order to a Russia-China dominated multipolar world order. Over the past thirty years we’ve seen a shift in the nature of Jewish power that drives London (the global finance capital), the United States (the dominant global military superpower), and Israel (the top global cyber and technology superpower) by Russian Jews, and even Russian gentiles as is the case with Israel.This quote from the beginning of an article titled Talpiot and the Multipolar Word Order alerted me to how influential expatriate Russian Jews have become since the breakup of the Soviet Union. The gentile reference alludes to the fact that the proper criteria for being classified as Jewish has not been met by many of the immigrants. The article goes on to quote from a 2011 story in The Guardian:
Jews in the former Soviet Union were largely banned from making aliya – migrating to Israel – before the collapse of the empire. But from 1990 onwards they came in their thousands, and they now constitute around 15% of Israel’s 7.7 million population.Actually, The Guardian ran a story on March 17th 2018 about the high life that Russian oligarchs are leading in Britain but it has since been taken down. Clearly, pressure was brought to bear. However, the story has been retrieved from the Internet archive and makes for interesting reading: link.
Israel's virtual control of the United States is well-established but its close connections with Russia and China have been less clear. A 2017 article from the Jerusalem Post reminds us that this little country's influence now extends far beyond the United States:
Israel is positioned to guard the world’s Internet. Everything today is traded, controlled and administered online. And Israel is emerging as the world’s number one guardian of the worldwide web. That means, regardless of being a few miles offtrack from China’s Land and Maritime Roads, it is positioned to be the centre of both belts.Some would say that it's gained this influence in large degree because of its special relationship with the United States. This has provided Israel with access to advanced technology that it has often been sold on to Russia and China.

Wikispooks and Anthony C. Sutton
People up to no good don't generally advertise the fact. Wicked deeds are done in secret, but for those which cannot be kept secret - such as assassinations or full scale wars - alternative explanations are concocted and aggressively promoted. Aware of this, WikiSpooks aims for a genuinely dispassionate analysis of what is going on in the world, refusing to blindly take the "official narratives" of nation states and powerful institutions at face value.Further along in the site:
While commercially-controlled media generally present official narrative-friendly perspectives of events in inexplicable isolation, framing them psychologically for their own purposes, Wikispooks seeks to shine an unbiased light in dark places and so to establish and trace important connections between events based on objective evidence. Behind a range of distractions from sports to celebrity culture or even party politics ("...the entertainment division of the military industrial complex" as Frank Zappa once opined) lies a set of hidden truths, parts of a wholly unacknowledged reality which can be discerned behind the misinformation fog that aims to hide it.
In a few words: there is no such thing as Soviet technology. Almost all — perhaps 90–95 percent — came directly or indirectly from the United States and its allies. In effect the United States and the NATO countries have built the Soviet Union. Its industrial and its military capabilities. This massive construction job has taken 50 years. Since the Revolution in 1917. It has been carried out through trade and the sale of plants, equipment and technical assistance.
I've downloaded his books now and added them to my library. There are YouTube videos available in which he talks about some the issues raised in his books. In the following embedded video, Sutton talks about Western involvement in the Bolshevik Revolution.
