Hi Friends,

I have more to share with you on the Moscow terror attack, namely via a link to a YouTube video of Russell Brand. It’s titled, ‘The shocking truth is coming out about Russia ‘ISIS’ terror attack’.

Brand takes a very balanced look, and is not quick to jump to conclusions. However, he is rightfully very sceptical of the narrative put out by mainstream media that ‘ISIS did it- nothing to see here!’

A key takeaway from the video is that globalist western mainstream media is absolutely dreadful, and nothing more than a mouthpiece for intelligence agencies such as the CIA.

I cannot emphasize this point enough to anyone who may be reading in this forum for the first time- mainstream media is of the devil, it’s your mortal enemy, and if you decide to put your trust in it you are playing with fire on an intellectual, moral and spiritual basis.

This well-compiled and presented video from Brand reminds us that the ‘Islamic State’- a.k.a. ‘ISIS’- is a creation of the military-industrial complex and western intelligence in conjunction with western governments (and their allies) and establishment media.

The US government/media officially pinned blame on ISIS for the Moscow terror atrocity NO MORE THAN AN HOUR after the mass murder had been carried out.

I reiterate my point from the previous post- a sentiment expressed by Brand in the video- that it is too early for any casual observer to sincerely know who orchestrated the slaughter in Moscow. Moreover, both the Russian government on one side and Ukraine/USA on the other will no doubt exploit it for their own propaganda purposes and war aims.

What seems beyond doubt is that the terrorists themselves who carried out the massacre in the concert hall were Islamist gunmen who were hired and offered money by puppet masters as yet unidentified.

In my view, there is not enough hard evidence available to identify and convict these puppet masters in a hypothetical fair trial. But there is plenty of circumstantial evidence to identify a main suspect, and people have been convicted on less in real trials.

One does not have to be a Putin apologist- nor defend his war crimes in the Ukraine- to understand the most likely scenario vis-à-vis the Moscow terror attack. Indeed, as it currently stands, the main suspects are Ukrainian intelligence and the CIA, with possible involvement of an entity like MI6.

If evidence would come out one day which would conclusively disprove this conclusion, I’ll be happy to admit that I’m wrong.

But as it currently stands, while there is a lack of evidence to make an iron-clad conclusion, the far-and-away most likely scenario is that Ukrainian intelligence, backed by the CIA, has orchestrated the mass murder at the concert in Moscow.

To cover their tracks, they have (one way or another) initiated contact with Islamic types who would be more than willing to carry out profoundly evil and cowardly actions for the right price. Ukraine/The CIA evidently ended up recruiting the four Tajik gunmen who would end up carrying out the slaughter.

However, while every bit as disgusting and sick as ISIS, the terrorists in this case were not necessarily cut from the same cut-throat ‘martyrdom’ cloth, and appeared very interested in their own self-preservation and fearful of justice.

They were caught near the Ukrainian border, which is a long way from Moscow and it’s a strangely coincidental direction in which they decided to flee given how vast Russia really is.

Meanwhile, as stated, the establishment media- which is controlled by western intelligence agencies like the CIA- officially declared that ISIS (and only ISIS) was responsible for the atrocity NO MORE THAN AN HOUR after it was carried out.

Ukraine and the USA are undoubtedly the main suspects in this case. But first, more info would be required to be 100% sure. Unfortunately, Russia would probably blame them even if it wasn’t true. And the West would never admit any wrongdoing, even if it and its Ukrainian proxies were 100% guilty.

Hi Everyone,

The purpose of today’s post is to cover the heavy manpower shortage which is now faced by the Ukrainian military.

Zelensky announced about a month (or more) ago that Ukrainian forces had suffered about 30,000 confirmed KIA on the battlefield since the start of the war in February 2022. This ridiculous figure was predictably parroted by various western establishment media outlets, though others were at least a bit sceptical.

The real figure is about ten times higher than the figure given by Zelensky, give or take. When you take wounded, missing and captured into account, the total number of Ukrainian casualties would be well over half-a-million without a doubt. Russian combatant deaths would be roughly 100,000.

The current momentum in the war is on the side of the Russians. Incremental gains are starting to come with relative regularity. Moreover, NATO/Ukraine have fears that there could be a tipping point some time this year, in which the stalemate is broken and a large Russian breakthrough is made.

To be sure, we are not there yet and there is still an apparent stalemate in terms of movements. But Ukraine was never going to win a war of attrition against a much bigger and more powerful enemy.

The presence on the ground of many thousands of western mercenaries, special ops, black ops, spies, etc, is adding to the death and disaster on the territory of Ukraine, but will not likely have any meaningful bearing on the overall course of the war. The official introduction of western troops onto the battlefield is highly unlikely, and thankfully so because it would bring the world closer to nuclear war than it’s ever been.

The manpower shortages in Ukraine are starting to bite in a serious way. Zelensky and his ilk are pushing through a new mobilization bill to help them call up fresh new cannon fodder to send to the slaughter. Creepy US politicians such as Lindsey Graham have even made direct calls to the people of Ukraine to sign up to the Ukrainian army and fight the Russians (!)

Contrary to what large segments of establishment media have been telling us, there are large numbers of Ukrainian men who are not keen on the prospect of suffering a violent death in a pointless war. Many have fled to other European countries, which has led the CIA-run Ukrainian government to demand that these countries extradite refugees of fighting age back to the Ukraine, where they would be then sent straight to the front.

Large numbers of Ukrainians still stuck in the Ukraine have been attempting to flee over the border, made all the harder by a law (passed at around the start of the war) banning men up to 60 years or so from leaving the country.

People smugglers have also entered the fray, trying to get affected people out of the country (whether for altruistic reasons, or money, or a mixture). Inside of the Ukraine, government press gangs roam the streets and abduct people on the spot, shoving them into vans. For this reason, many young men are believed to stay hidden in private residences 24/7.

Those who wanted to join voluntarily were either already in the military when the war started, or would’ve already signed up in the months afterward amid the patriotic fervour that usually accompanies such traumatic national events. As the war has ground on, and turned in favour of the Russians, the number of volunteers in the Ukraine has dried up to a trickle.

People with Down Syndrome, pregnant women and elderly men now find themselves among the ranks of the Ukrainian military. The average age of soldiers in the Ukrainian army was 43 (!) several months ago and is now probably even a bit higher. The young men in the Ukraine have either been wiped out, or do not want to fight. And of the wounded, there are said to be astronomical numbers of amputees, some of which have been patched up (as much as possible) and returned to the front.

To top it all off- and here is a point that is predictable but nonetheless particularly sickening- the children of Ukraine’s elites/politicians are alive and well as they enjoy official refuge in other countries.

To spell it out for you, the vast majority of the Ukraine’s rulers have ensured that their own children have been shifted out to the safety of other countries in Europe (particularly western Europe), while they simultaneously force the rank-and-file Ukrainian citizens on the street to go and face probable death or maiming at the front.

While this is very common amongst all of the leaders in the Ukraine, I point out one specific example for you. One of the Klitschko brothers, both of whom were previously famous boxers/celebrities, is mayor of Kiev. His two sons were recently photographed having a party in Berlin.

Moreover, they are reportedly in line for German citizenship, meaning that if Germany one day decided to extradite Ukrainian refugees back to Ukraine where they will become cannon fodder, the two sons of Klitschko would not have to go, because they have German citizenship.

That’s about it for today. I didn’t wish to refer you to any particular article or audio/video today. I just wanted to share an overview of what I’ve been finding out lately.

That’ll be it for now. God bless you.

Hello All,

A quick update on the general situation re: Ukraine. As you would have seen in the news, the military-industrial complex was able to get a $60-billion 'aid' package approved and passed through the corrupt US political process.

The general consensus among thinking analysts is that this will see various high-up people in the US/Europe (and Ukrainian regime) skimming off large amounts of the money to line their own pockets. The 'aid' which does somehow get through to the battlefield will prolong the fighting- and increase the overall body count- but will ultimately not change the trajectory of the war.

Regardless of the approval of this package, there are increasing reports that the Ukrainian military could collapse and lose the war by the end of the year. What this 'losing' might look like, however, would still be anyone's guess. At the same time, establishment media is also balancing out the aforementioned gloomy reports with significant amounts of triumphalist coverage which claim that the new package will turn the tide of the war in Ukraine's favour, etc.

Amidst this backdrop, there is increasing handwringing and panic among western governments/politicians (and no doubt their globalist/intelligence puppet masters) at such a prospect. One result of this is increasing talk of deploying uniformed NATO troops to the western side of Ukraine, and even over the river and into the eastern side where the bulk of the fighting is happening.

To be sure, the talk so far has been of European troops. But of course, the intention here would be to create a slippery slope in which US troops are officially deployed. We would then be only a step away from the nuclear precipice.

That aside, there are already thousands and thousands of western forces- special ops, black ops, 'advisors', spies, mercenaries, etc- in the Ukraine. Some are in support roles, some in active combat roles against the Russians. A reasoned estimate which I heard yesterday was that approximately 15,000 Americans were currently in the Ukraine in such a capacity, to say nothing of the many thousands from various other NATO countries.

Further to this, there is a US presidential election this November. My own take, however, is that the war will not have a bearing on the outcome of the election, and the election will not have a bearing on the outcome of the war. The agents of the globalist agenda will decide the outcome of the election, but even if their less-preferred candidate were to miraculously get in, he would not have the power (and maybe not even the inclination) to pursue peace in Ukraine.

The war, however, is another matter, and they do not have as much power to dictate its ultimate outcome, although they clearly have the power to at least prolong it. In fact, the military-industrial complex based in Washington has not maintained a good record of winning wars since the end of the second world war.

Besides blowing poor defenceless nations off the face of the earth in scorched earth bombing campaigns, it hasn't won a single war since 1945. To be fair, what Russia is now doing in the Ukraine- while clearly provoked by NATO- is nonetheless no better than what the US/West has done in Iraq, Serbia, Libya, etc.

Hi All,

I'm currently on a small device, so will keep my writing to an absolute minimum.

Rather than write, I refer you to a brand new article from CNN, titled, 'Russia is making daily tactical gains in eastern Ukraine, as concerns swirl around Ukrainian military reporting.'

CNN is often low-grade globalist regime propaganda, but I'm happy to give it kudos on those occasions when it does good work.

This was a decent article which, while obviously pro-Western, made an effort to provide a relatively balanced, honest appraisal of the current state-of-play on the battlefield.

Hi Everyone,

As the Ukraine War rages on, a little-known anniversary was reached yesterday. Obviously, there is plenty of blood on the hands of the governments of Russia, the USA, Ukraine and other various NATO countries. There has been plenty of spilled blood to ‘share’.

Some people are under the misconception that all of the strife started upon the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February 2022.

Of course, those who dig a little deeper and have an open mind are aware that a civil had been ongoing in eastern Ukraine since 2014. On the one side were NATO-backed Ukrainian forces while on the other side were Russian-backed militias. There is no doubt that out-of-uniform forces also took part on both sides in support of their proxies.

The strife was largely sparked by a CIA/globalist/NATO-backed coup in February 2014, in which the corrupt BUT DEMOCRATICALLY ELECTED (pro-Russian) government of Ukraine was ousted by nationalist, and in many cases literally Nazi forces.

To be sure, there is a significant historically-rooted Nazi movement in Ukraine (and in its armed forces) that has prevailed until the present day. It is both overstated by Russia and understated by Western countries for propaganda purposes. But the West has clearly made a pact with Ukrainian Nazis in order to pursue joint interests, just as the West did with Al-Queda and ISIS during the so-called ‘Arab Spring’.

Anyway, in a little-known (largely ignored by Western countries and Kiev government) but notorious incident, NATO-backed Nazis committed a massacre of pro-Russian civilians in Odessa on May 2nd 2014. Yesterday was obviously the 10-year anniversary.

During the incident, NATO and Kiev-backed Nazis murdered 48 civilians in an Odessa Trade Union building. The victims were forced into a building, which was then set alight. Most victims, which included women and children, either choked on smoke or burned to death.

Some of the victims, however, chose to jump to their deaths rather than burn. And those who somehow survived jumping from the building were set upon by the thugs outside who had blockaded the building.

The perpetrators reportedly included Nazis who would be integrated into the Ukrainian defence forces. There were also soccer hooligans who joined in, and police forces present who didn’t help the victims.

Atrocities like this have not been rare since 2014, not to mention (since) 2022. But they have been committed by both sides in similar measure, and the narrative of ‘One side good, one side bad’ simply does not match up with the objective facts.

A link to a little report marking the ten-year anniversary of this atrocity is below:

Hi Everyone,

Time for another post. Recent events re: Ukraine have been punctuated by incremental Russian gains on the battlefield, particularly around the second biggest Ukrainian city (Kharkiv). It’s a city of well over a million inhabitants, many of them Russian speakers, and is located roughly 20km from the border with Russia.

To be sure, the city itself is still firmly Ukrainian-held, and the movements of Russian forces in its vicinity do not appear to be intended to capture the city at this point. It seems to be more about drawing Ukrainian reinforcements to the area from other parts of the front, to increase the pressure on the city, and to open up a buffer zone to make it harder for Ukrainian forces to shell certain Russian areas over the border.

On the NATO/Ukrainian side of things, there has been escalation on several fronts. One Russian head-of-state (leader of Slovakia) was the victim of an assassination attempt, but appears to have survived (whether or not he can return to his job is another question). He was shot by a pro-Western/pro-NATO globalist type who was either incited by globalist mainstream media/intelligence elements to attempt the murder, or may have been actively sponsored by them.

Another pro-Russian head-of-state, the leader of Iran and about half-a-dozen others died in a helicopter crash, returning to their country after a visit north of the border. It could have been an accident, but could have just as likely been an assassination carried out by Israeli intelligence, if not US or UK. However, while there is certainly motive and ongoing precedent for such assassinations/murders from such culprits, I stress that I have not yet come across any solid evidence to support the assassination angle re: the Iranian helicopter crash.

Other NATO escalation of late has included ongoing talk of inserting NATO troops into Ukraine, using US rockets to fire into Russia from Ukraine, desperate mobilisation (including pressganging) efforts to muster up more cannon fodder in the Ukraine (due to chronic manpower shortages), etc.

I now refer you to a good article from a publication called ‘Worker’s World’. It’s new, and is titled, ‘Ukraine crisis nears cracking point: New NATO escalation?’

It’ll give you a general update of the current situation. To be sure, the publication comes across as an old-school socialist type of source. However, I’d much rather a genuinely anti-war socialist than a pro-war ‘conservative’.

Here is a brief summary:

- All of the NATO escalation ultimately couldn’t happen without the approval of the Washington-based military-industrial-media complex.

- There are parallels between the current US-Russia conflict and the great power rivalries that led up to the first world war.

- A mention is given to the Israeli ‘genocide’ of Palestinians. While I am no fan of Israel (it lost my sympathy when it became apparent that they supported al-queda and ISIS in Syria), Hamas is just as bad and its death toll figures are to be taken with a grain of salt. Israel is certainly guilty of terrorism, mass murder and ethnic cleansing, but a word like ‘genocide’ ought to be a big deal and I’d like to see hard, trustworthy evidence before applying it.

- Western tendencies to escalate are led by but not only limited to the USA. Its minion puppet states in the West are just as compliant, as are big money interests.

- The Russian invasion of Ukraine, and eight-year civil war (in eastern Ukraine) that preceded it were largely the result of the CIA-sponsored coup of 2014 in Kiev, in which the democratically-elected government at the time was ousted and replaced with a pro-Western puppet regime.

- Aggressive NATO expansion has been highly provocative and a major agitating factor.

- European politicians are by-and-large US lackeys, and minions of the military-industrial complex.

- The US/Western ‘aid’ to Ukraine serves not only the globalist ideological agenda, it’s also anchored in pure money-making and has been aptly described as a gigantic racket. Therefore, it is not only the New World Order ideology which has much to lose if its Ukrainian proxy forces are defeated on the battlefield. There are also extremely powerful globalist financial interests with much to lose at such a prospect, and therefore with every interest in prolonging the war indefinitely, regardless of how much of anyone’s blood is spilled.

- There is no appealing to the globalist interests that want this war to be prolonged no matter what. They will keep agitating for more war, and escalating indefinitely, until they simply no longer can (for whatever reason).

Hi All,

I'm out and about on a device, so am not inclined to write much. However, I refer you to a noteworthy article on the ongoing Western escalation in Ukraine.

While few could argue that Russia, like Ukraine, has acted in brutal manner during the civil war/invasion and period thereafter, it is clearly the West which threatens to take a bloody border war (of which there have been countless throughout history) and turn it into a conflict which is getting dangerously close to the nuclear precipice.

Just in case any of you reading this are just starting your awakening journey free of mainstream media, let me point out that no-one wins if this war goes nuclear.

Everyone dies on all sides, regardless of anyone's opinions, ideas, convictions, etc.

The article I link to is from a mainstream source, but is still quite balanced and reasonable, with a degree of criticism towards the West re: the ongoing escalation.

Hi Friends,

I’ve got a couple of things to post about, but will focus on only one of them today. Namely, it is with regard to the conflict in the Middle-East. To be specific, there is increasing chatter/reporting that Israel is planning to launch a war in Lebanon against Hezbollah, perhaps sooner rather than later.

Eight months after the Israeli forces launched their war against the Hamas-run Palestinian territories, with no end in sight, there is now the very real prospect of a second front. For context, Israel and Hezbollah fought a war in around 2006 that lasted more than a month (as I recall). Israel inflicted the greater damage and kills on the other side, but was unable to land anything close to a knockout blow. Large damage was inflicted on southern Lebanon during that conflict, a lot of it indiscriminate.

I personally don’t believe that anyone did particularly well out of that conflict but almost two decades on, Hezbollah is much more entrenched, better armed and ready for another bout. This time, though, the stakes are much higher. Not only could Hezbollah now decimate large parts of Israel with its huge rocket arsenal, but the spectre of tactical nuclear weapon deployment by Israel has already been raised (which would no doubt be used to decimate Hezbollah strongholds in southern Lebanon).

There is the real prospect that such a conflict could quickly go regional, and even beyond. What I endeavour to do with posts like this is to offer you a different perspective. There are many sources who will push the ‘Israel is fantastic but Israel’s foes are pure evil’ perspective. Others will push the ‘Israel’s foes are fantastic but Israel is pure evil’ perspective.

My view- and I believe that all of the evidence overwhelmingly backs me up on this- is that the Israeli government and Hamas are both profoundly evil entities bent on mass murder. Other entities like Hezbollah, the Iranian government and US government are no better.

Many well-meaning Christians (including at least one member of my own family) believe that God still has special plans for the modern-nation state of Israel. They also point to Bible verses which perhaps indicate this. I would certainly not discount this possibility BUT, and this is a very important ‘but’, if this is indeed the case it is not because Israel is ‘good’. On the contrary, it is because God is good and He may indeed have plans to redeem the currently very wicked and murderous nation-state of Israel, despite how undoubtedly evil it currently is.

Israel, let’s not forget, was a key villain in the globalist ‘Arab Spring’ operations that ravaged the Middle-East from approximately 2010-2020. Israel gave massive support and assistance to al-queda jihadists in Syria, and also worked covertly with ISIS, even conducting airstrikes against Syrian government forces and their allies (including Hezbollah) in Syria. These airstrikes were done on behalf of ISIS, which means that Israel was acting at ISIS’s air force.

Are Hezbollah and Iran, et al, similarly villainous to Israel in their own way? Absolutely, I don’t doubt it for a second. All I’m encouraging you to do is to attempt to look at things in a truth-focussed fashion, instead of the cartoon-book ‘My side good, other side bad,’ kind of nonsense.

If Israel and Hezbollah went to war, I personally wouldn’t have a horse in that particular race. But as an anti-war Christian, the only horse we ought to support would be peace, i.e. that this potential war would not start in the first place.

I am certain- backed by plenty of evidence- that the current leader of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu is an evil psychopath who would happily kill scores of people just for his own political benefit. Then again, this doesn’t make him unique. On the contrary, it just means that he is a typical politician (regardless of whether it’s a Western politician, Jewish politician, Muslim politician or Persian politician, etc).

Overall, these desperate problems in the world are not down to one kind of people or another. Rather, at the core of these problems is that all of us- ALL OF US- are fallen, and:

“The human heart is the most deceitful of all things, and desperately wicked. Who really knows how bad it is? (Jeremiah 17:9)

I’m going to link you to a new YouTube video about the possibility of an Israeli attack on Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. It’s an interview conducted by Daniel Davis, with Douglas MacGregor the guest. It goes for about half an hour, and I recommend that you listen to it. Here are some basic takeaways:

- It’s increasingly likely that Israel will launch this war.

- Hezbollah is much better prepared than it was back in 2006, thus heightening the risk that Israel will use tactical nuclear weapons in southern Lebanon.

- There is clearly identifiable potential that it would quickly become regional, with nations such as the US, Cyprus, Greece Turkey, Iran and Russia getting drawn in on one side or the other. Moreover, Hezbollah is not the only non-state actor that would be involved, with actors like Kurdish forces also likely to get entangled.

- This could ultimately fulfil the long-held dream of various military-industrial complex/neo-con elements to spark a war between the US and Iran, although there is no guarantee that such a war would go well for US forces.

- Israel’s potential inability to maintain a two-front war increases the risk that they will use tactical nukes. The moment that one would go off, it will be a totally different and vastly more dangerous world.

- US global hegemony, already shaky, would become more unstable with the overwhelming logistical challenges that would be presented by such a conflict.

- If Israel bit off more than it could chew with such a move, it could ultimately find itself in a very precarious situation with the US not able to lend much help (Note: this is a potential situation that could appear to line up with end-times Bible prophecies which seem to describe a multi-national coalition attacking Israel).

- There is general, civilization-threatening insanity being driven by our ruling authorities/the mainstream media across the Ukraine and Middle-East theatres of war.

- Separate from the biblical issue, and aside from propaganda terms like ‘democracy’, there does not appear to be any US national security interest vis-à-vis its total support of Israel.

- The public is largely more concerned about pop-culture and celebrities than weighty issues associated with geopolitics. Therefore, the establishment can largely do whatever it wants.

- The US (in an ideal world) could be a great source of peace, but is dominated by the military-industrial complex and is far more interested in the perpetuation of war.

- Netanyahu is a very dangerous figure, and could start a largescale regional war for his own personal advantage.

- The US government is laser-focussed on the US empire abroad, but doesn’t care that the country at home is crumbling.

Hi Everyone,

We would be wise to continue to pray for de-escalation re: the possibility of war between Israel and Hezbollah in southern Lebanon. There would be no ‘good guys’ in this fight, but lots of victims (both combatant and civilian) on both sides. The destruction to infrastructure would also be massive.

However, the destruction to Lebanon would almost certainly be worse than the destruction suffered by Israel in such an exchange. Israel would also have more tools of destruction at its disposal, including various nuclear arms if things really went pear-shaped.

And things could indeed go bad quickly if Israel invaded southern Lebanon. Hezbollah has the capacity to inflict huge damage on Israel, which would then invite huge counter-responses by Israel. It’s very plausible that this could lead to Israeli deployment of at least one of its ‘tactical’ battlefield nuclear weapons. And once even just one nuclear weapon would go off, even if low-yield, all bets would be off.

If you are particularly pro-Israel and anti-Israel’s foes, or pro-Israel’s foes and anti-Israel, I believe you are missing the point. As pointed out in previous posts, both Israel and its foes are evil. For every evil thing done by one side, there has been something comparable done by the other side.

If God indeed has a plan for the nation-state of Israel, it’s not because Israel is good. On the contrary, it’s because God is good. Israel is evil, as are its enemies.

But that’s not the point of why I write today. This post is not so much focussed on military frontlines, but on potential Western plans for global military escalation.

In Ukraine, the war of attrition continues and it does not favour Ukraine in the long-term. This is not only because it has under a third of the population of Russia (and therefore not near the manpower to draw on), but also because it is suffering approximately three times the casualties suffered by the Russian side. The overall number of Ukrainian (or pro-Ukrainian) combatants KIA in this war is roughly 300,000-400,000. The number of Russian (or pro-Russian) combatants killed is roughly 100,000. Remember, there are typically several wounded for each killed.

Civilian deaths run in the low tens of thousands, but there are assuredly many civilian fatalities as an indirect consequence of the war too. Most civilians who died have been killed by Russian forces, but a sizeable minority have been killed by Ukrainian/NATO forces.

Meanwhile, Russian forces continue to make slow, incremental gains and grind Ukrainian/pro-NATO forces into the ground.

But as stated, this kind of talk is not the main purpose of today’s post.

You may have missed it, but in recent months the governments in NATO countries have been discussing the possibility of reintroducing military drafts. The talks so far have only been introductory, and in the background, but they have happened nonetheless. And this should set off alarm bells in the head of any thinking person.

While military conscription already exists in some of the minor NATO member states, the US, UK and Germany are among about half-a-dozen other countries that have begun to entertain the idea of reinstituting a military draft in some form or another. Something that should be clear to all is this: Even if the reintroduction of a draft in such countries would initially be presented as rather limited in scope and even have a somewhat ‘voluntary’ veneer to it, these ostensibly harmless pretences would quickly be dispatched with if the globalist authorities across the West decided that they really wanted to do a mass call-up of cannon fodder.

And the same ruling-class/media degenerates who have been tearing down our countries for the last half-a-century (and even longer) would quickly fall back onto the well-worn tropes of patriotism and nationhood to lure the potential recruits back in: Just like World War One all over again.

Does this seem unlikely? Just remember the seemingly endless, media-driven delirium during the era of Corona. Now just imagine that same kind of effort, but this time focussed on a perceived enemy (Russia or China, for example). And anyone who didn’t want to support the war effort in whatever way demanded of them by the state would simply be treated as an enemy of society (like, say, a vaccine-hesitant person during the height of the Corona madness).

If you have loved ones approaching military-age, I suggest that you have a quiet think about how to be ready to get them out of conscription in the event that these initially quiet talks about conscription begin to gather momentum and volume, especially as anti-Russian and anti-Chinese hostilities continue to escalate in the West.

There is no way that any of my loved ones, as long as I have influence over them, are going to sign up. If you have loved ones in your sphere who are entering an age when they might get entangled in a potential reintroduction of military conscription in NATO countries, and if you have no problem with it, that’s your business and not mine.

But I wish to ask you this: Do you want your loved ones to fight, kill and potentially die on foreign lands for the sake of the military-industrial complex? Do you want them to fight and die for abortion rights? For same-sex marriage? For transgenderism? For the ongoing dissolution of their own national borders back at home? For institutionalized sexualization of kids?
Do you want them to fight and die for mainstream media? For pharmaceutical companies? For Klaus Schwab? For Bill Gates? For Anthony Fauci? For whatever political party or politician, be it this one or that one? For the satanic paedophile puppet-masters who oversee our governments and turn a blind eye (and almost certainly even worse) to mass child-sex trafficking across the globe?

The article I’m now posting is at least a couple of weeks old. It’s titled, ‘US kicks off debate on conscription as other NATO members introduce drafts’.

I’ve just had a quick read through and here are some thoughts (although, I recommend that you read it for yourself):

- Sanctimonious talk of ‘serving’ the nation and ‘giving back’ to the nation is already being utilized by neo-con types in the early stages of these discussions. Don’t forget, these are the same people who have been tearing down our nations and removing national sovereignty over the last half-century-plus.

- Initial proposals sound harmless and somewhat voluntary (clearly by design), with some governmental figures even expressing initial scepticism. However, this is clearly from the ‘Give me an inch and I’ll take a mile’ playbook. One could also compare it to the proverbial frog in the slowly boiling water.

- Such measures would obviously be intended to bulk up military numbers, due to a recruitment crisis (large shortfalls re: meeting targets) in the US and across the West. Though the article doesn’t mention it, this is obviously as a result of the globalists wanting to have their cake and eat it too. For over half-a-century they’ve pushed the ‘Globalism is super, but national sovereignty is evil’ agenda. The obvious result of this is that general lack of national pride will result in less people wanting to join the military.

I’ll leave it there. But I reiterate: The globalist overlords (and their puppets) ruling over us are evil, and capable of anything (again, just look at the Covid-era delirium and absolute across-the board lack of decency and logic). If it suited their needs, they would suddenly make completely hypocritical, utterly insincere appeals to patriotism to get you, and/or loved ones of yours, to sign up (or be willingly drafted in) to kill people you shouldn’t really have a personal beef with, and quite possibly be killed too.

And they would oversee this from afar, in nice designer clothes in air-conditioned offices where they can literally molest kids in safety and without fear of legal consequences. Think VERY SERIOUSLY before signing up to any military force, especially in the West. And be prepared to deal with the pressure to sign up that would inevitably come if the draft really is going to be reinstated.

Hi again,

Second post in a day, so I'll keep it super short. There is morally no difference between a fanatical al-queda/ISIS jihadist who goes to another land to kill/shed blood, and a mercenary who travels to Ukraine to do the same thing, regardless of who they fight for or against.

Going for strictly non-combat reasons, eg. to treat wounded combatants or civilians is something else. Hard to argue with the merit of that.

But to go abroad, stick your nose into a fight that's not yours, and to kill people in the course of this is very morally dubious to say the least, regardless of how offenders may try to justify it.

War crimes of NATO mercenaries in the Ukraine are numerous. Moreover, it has recently been admitted in Western establishment media outlet, the New York Times.

I was not able to open the New York Times piece directly, but you might have more luck yourself.

Furthermore, I came across a report from infowars.com which was centred on the New York Times documentation of these atrocities.

Hello All,

A lot has been happening re: the various wars. You've probably heard about a Hezbollah rocket attack which killed approximately a dozen Israeli youths on/near a soccer field.

This is undoubtedly a war crime. No question about this from any reasonable person, and no justification for any war crimes ever.

On a separate note, Hezbollah's war crimes are dwarved by Israel's and Israel likes to have a monopoly on the commission of war crimes. No, Israel is not commiting 'genocide' in Gaza as the lying Hamas authorities claim. However, it is certainly carrying out indiscriminate mass murder.

Knowing what I know about the minds of politicians, Netanyahu (under his croc tears) will be very pleased indeed about this new Hezbollah atrocity, as it will offer him the justification he'd like to escalate war and entrench his grip on power.

Israel are not the 'good guys' in that part of the world, but nor are any of their enemies. Again, I urge you to resist the urge to 'pick a side'. All sides are evil, and the cost is borne by the defenceless, such as the Palestinian civilians and Israeli civilians like the young soccer players.

As part of Israel's response, it's highly likely that Lebanese civilians will also pay a bloody price. For every argument for or against one side or another in the Mid-East, a strong counter-argument can be made. There are no good guys, just victims.

To switch topics, I post you an update on Ukraine/Russia. It's from the New York Times and is titled, 'Russia punches through weakened lines in Eastern Ukraine'.

In a nutshell, the war is still largely a high-casualty fight of attrition. Russia is on top, but battlefield movements continue to be incremental, or sometimes in little fits and starts.

Some commentators predict a coming Ukrainian collapse. I'm not a military expert and reserve judgement. However, history tells us that World War One was also a similar grinding attrition which went on for years, and ended with reluctant surrender rather than a dramatic collapse.

Hello again,

The latest news out of Ukraine has centred on a bloody, protracted NATO/Ukrainian raid across the border into Russia.

Losses on both sides have been significant, and the scale has been large enough to be referred to as an 'invasion' of a Russian border area.

There is no question that it is a desperate action by NATO/Ukraine. There is also no doubt that it's been a significant headache/setback for Russia.

To get a broad, rather balanced analysis of this development, I refer you to a new report from The Asia Times, titled, 'Ukraine gambles with Kursk invasion of Russia'.
