Background for understanding Ukraine and also the past in Eastern Europe and East of Europe

The Khazars[a] (/ˈxɑːzɑːrz/) were a semi-nomadic Turkic people that in the late 6th-century CE established a major commercial empire covering the southeastern section of modern European Russiasouthern UkraineCrimea, and Kazakhstan.[10] They created what for its duration was the most powerful polity to emerge from the break-up of the Western Turkic Khaganate.[11] Astride a major artery of commerce between Eastern Europe and Southwestern Asia, Khazaria became one of the foremost trading empires of the early medieval world, commanding the western marches of the Silk Road and playing a key commercial role as a crossroad between China, the Middle East and Kievan Rus’.[12][13] For some three centuries (c. 650–965) the Khazars dominated the vast area extending from the Volga-Don steppes to the eastern Crimea and the northern Caucasus.[14]

Review: Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe

Jewish scholars have deliberately disregarded some of the source materials I mine in this book, out of fear of its implications for the image of the Jews, and as part of a long tradition of apologetics. Indeed, I was advised by some colleagues not to pursue the subject. Ephraim Shoham-Steiner, 2021.

Thus begins Ephraim Shoham-Steiner’s Jews and Crime in Medieval Europe— a clear and remarkable enunciation of the sanitized, curated, and paranoid nature of Jewish historiography. The above statement illustrates that, while Europeans and their history have long been open to every group libel and accusation, the writing of Jewish history has always been a careful, censored, self-conscious process, designed in large part to portray Jews in a positive light or, at the very least, in such a way as to bleach out all transgressions. Arguably, Jews also engage in such activity as a form of self-deception, leading to a commonplace self-image of innocence and high self-esteem—which in turn fuels higher levels of ethnocentrism. David Sclar, in reviewing Shoham-Steiner’s text for the Jewish Book Council, comments that “con­tem­po­rary Jews do not gen­er­al­ly view their ances­tors as crim­i­nals. Jew­ish mem­o­ry, shaped by images of East­ern Euro­pean shtetls and the wounds of the Holo­caust, con­jures a past filled with meek Jews sur­viv­ing vile accu­sa­tions, cru­saders, and expul­sions.” Jewish historiography is thus less a relating of some historical truths than the presentation of a doctored image of the past. In other words, it is propaganda. Only in rare exceptions, such as Shoham-Steiner’s interesting text, do we get to see behind the curtain, and what we find there is generally disruptive to the image of the Jews we are used to.

Odessa falls and Ukraine becomes a landlocked country

Intelligence, surveillance, target acquisition, and reconnaissance:

ISTAR stands for intelligencesurveillancetarget acquisition, and reconnaissance. In its macroscopic sense, ISTAR is a practice that links several battlefield functions together to assist a combat force in employing its sensors and managing the information they gather.

Information is collected on the battlefield through systematic observation by deployed soldiers and a variety of electronic sensors. Surveillancetarget acquisition and reconnaissance are methods of obtaining this information. The information is then passed to intelligence personnel for analysis, and then to the commander and their staff for the formulation of battle plans. Intelligence is processed information that is relevant and contributes to an understanding of the ground, and of enemy dispositions and intents. Intelligence failures can happen.

UPDATE: This is a terrific interview. Everybody should watch it and learn from it. Macgregor is a very clear speaker and provides deep analysis and specific suggestions. Vlahos talks like an academic, which he is, but at 1:59:40, he describes the American elite and our problem with it perfectly, thereby describing the core of American decline which is near-irreversible and entirely due to that elite which he says has built a “…hermetic, separate political system. Something far less sensitive to the people even than British society in the mid-18th Century, which no one would argue was a democracy.” In what is now normal American parlance, both men speak in code about our elite by entirely ignoring how they got there, who they are, and what their long-term goals are.

‘They are GOVERNMENT GANGSTERS… The FBI was in on it. They’ve admitted under oath to being there with Twitter, so… release the Twitter documents with the FBI. That’s my biggest ask of Elon Musk’ — Kash Patel names names

“What they have done against the American people is destroy the Department of Justice… We have to call these people out. At this moment in time Elon Musk giving out all this information is our one chance at getting it all back.” ~ Kash Patel

Patel describes a large and filthy parasitic subculture feeding on USA through its control of DOJ, FBI, and more. Infiltration, usurpation, asymmetric war, call it what you like, this is far more serious than mere government corruption. Today is a test of Elon Musk’s depth. Is he going to expose only some of the evidence to sanitize it, to program the public and fold Twitter into a mind-control narrative that condones parasitism and ruination of USA? Or is he going to deliver all the goods and help resurrect USA? This is a major turning-point. ABN

‘What it’s funding is an emerging class of diversity mandarins’ ~ Dr James Orr

‘It’s actively undermining and damaging the institutions it’s being spent on.’

University professor Dr James Orr reacts to a new report which reveals the higher education sector is spending £30 million on diversity.

Originally tweeted by GB News (@GBNEWS) on December 10, 2022.

What Orr describes is a parasitic subculture feeding on the university system. If more of us fully understand that cultures and subcultures can and do exhibit savage parasitic behaviors, it will become easier to prevent the ruination they inevitably cause. The extent to which parasitic groups and individuals have infested the West is as plain as day. In nature, parasitism is common and not unusual at all. Throughout history, civilizations have fallen as parasitic subcultures proliferate within them.

In the West, one of our great weaknesses is the credentialization of social status which has conferred authority on the credentialed, who then become mentors who gradually promote only toadies and mediocrities, mentees who do not threaten them, thus causing one generation after another to be weaker than the one preceding it. Bad as that system was and is, it became worse when shortcuts to credentialization were created, diversity being but one of them. This is a huge problem that must be recognized for what it is or Western civilization is done for. ABN

The World According to Mike Pence

We can stop there and finish by observing that nothing in this book contradicts what we’ve learned over these two years, namely that Mike Pence served as both a carrier pigeon and protecting veil for the national security state that took over the country in March 2020. It was he who gave the okay to Birx’s subversions. It was he who assisted in convincing Trump of the lockdowns. It was he who pushed the panic that led to massive spending, overpurchases of masks and ventilators, he who pushed for the deployment of the Defense Production Act, and he who sent the Navy hospital ship to New York that went unused. And he not only defends all his actions but implies that they were all blessed by God. ~ JEFFREY A. TUCKER  

quote from Tucker’s review of Pence’s book

The whole review is well-worth reading. If you have any doubt that Pence is a self-righteous back-stabbing DS tool, this review is a must read. ABN

Raw tribal emotions

Raw emotions of ethnic and religious difference boil over sometimes. These displays of emotion are fundamental to human nature. Even when you train them away through “education,” you only end up with more of the same.

PC culture was the result of anti-tribal education in schools. Yet it succeeded only in producing another “tribe.” This one rigidly organized around non-negotiable PC ideals.

If you question those ideals you are an enemy of that tribe.

The PC tribe is not centered on the signs and symbols of ethnicity. Rather, it is centered on a tribal use of the neocortex, where we process the semiotics of allegiance to a group.

The intolerance of PC culture and the violence of its bastard child Antifa show how powerful and irreducible tribal emotions can be.

Ashley Judd’s diatribe and the pink pussy hats that appeared after the election are another example of the raw emotions of tribal allegiance. Note the pink hats as semiotic identifiers.

You have to be intelligent to overcome a tribe, maybe in the top 10-20 percent of any population. But then, how do you deal with the other 80 percent?

Should you lead them?

No, you really shouldn’t and certainly not without their input. An ideological tribe is unstable and often capable of even worse violence than an ethnic tribe.

Example one: Communism, which shows how low human nature can be across many different cultures.

Example two: Our sorry intellectual “leaders” in academia who have led American society nowhere good.

Indeed, academia has “succeeded” mostly in forming only one thing—a $elf-aggrandizing tribe of its own, which is overwhelmingly leftist and intolerant of anyone who dares disagree.

Academia, of course, acts as backup to our equally tribal media and political elite.

Only a recluse can escape tribal reality. Only fools play “intellectual” games with it.

BIDEN’S TWITTERGATE: What did the President know and when did he know it? Musk releases Hunter Biden laptop files that reveal Twitter execs replied ‘handled’ to requests from ‘Biden team’ and DNC to delete tweets just ten days after scandal broke

  • Elon Musk has said that Twitter was acting on the orders of the government when it allegedly censored stories on Hunter Biden’s laptop 
  • Journalist Matt Taibbi Friday began publishing the internal Twitter documents
  • Taibbi conducted his probe with the cooperation of new Twitter chief Elon Musk
  • Emails showed staffers censoring tweets at the behest of the Joe Biden’s team
  • His campaign made requests for tweets to be taken down – and Twitter complied

Foul, ignominious corruption exposed. This is sedition, possibly treason. And this is only a fraction of what they did. MSM and virtually all other social media were similarly involved. We also had vote fraud. And all of it follows decades of infiltration and take over of all political and cultural high-ground in the USA and Europe. ABN

Balenciaga Is Pizzagate

In this column I’m going to explain in detail how the Balenciaga scandal is Pizzagate.

The term Pizzagate stems from the release of thousands of John Podesta’s e-mails via Wikileaks in 2016.  John was the campaign chairman for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign, and several e-mails between him and his associates contained the use of the word pizza, a well-known pedophile code word that has been identified by law enforcement and documented in the Department of Justice records, in a context that does not make sense for them to be referring to the Italian dish.  This launched a citizen investigation around the world, and what horrified researchers discovered is that there’s a secret cabal of powerful Satanic pedophiles who are engaged in the rape, torture and trafficking of children.  That’s what Pizzagate is, period.  Pizzagate was never just about one DC pizza joint and a basement – that was the mainstream media’s spin on it to distract you and to cover up crimes against children. 

I’ve been saying for six years now that one day the mainstream media would be forced to tell the truth about Pizzagate. That day has finally come.  Enter Balenciaga. Balenciaga recently released a holiday ad campaign featuring children holding teddy bears in bondage with BDSM accessories.  In another ad that dropped on Nov. 21, copies appeared strategically placed on a desk from the Supreme Court Case United States v. Williams, a ruling that upheld the PROTECT Act, that increased federal protections against child pornography.  These ads promoting the sexual exploitation of children launched another global citizen investigation, and suddenly it was 2016 all over again.  However, this time the media has not been able to successfully cover up or ignore this elephant in the room.  As researchers dug, the Balenciaga Satanic horror show got worse and worse. The parallels between this scandal and what citizen journalists discovered after the Podesta E-mails were released are not only strikingly similar, there’s direct connections between the Clintons and their sex trafficking pals and Balenciaga.  I will get to that soon.

Excellent piece, don’t miss it. Scroll through the images on the linked page as you read. I have personal experience with extreme child abuse by a cult. Not all of it is about sex. It’s also about power, sadism and destroying potential adversaries before they reach adulthood. This is the deep and filthy tunnel of infiltrators who are destroying Western civilization. ABN

The Core Battle Within the Republican Party

An inflection point is coming.  In preparation for what we are about to witness, it is critical to understand that both the DNC and RNC are private corporations with no affiliation to government.

It is a difficult shift in thinking to appropriately understand, but the party system in U.S. politics revolves around two clubs that feed from the same corporate trough and position for influence and affluence within a political dynamic they control.

Fundamentally, they are parasitic organizations gorging themselves on the American political system for their own benefit almost exclusively. ABN

Biden DOJ Assigns Special Counsel to Investigate Republicans in Congress and President Trump for Insurrection

….The Trump-centric part of the special counsel appointment, the part that everyone is focusing on, is ancillary to the real purpose of the appointment.  However, that said, all investigative resources from Main Justice and the FBI will transfer to Jack Smith as they did when Crossfire Hurricane transferred to Robert Mueller.  The investigative people will transfer along with the investigative evidence.

Duplicating history, all of the DC elements of the UniParty, both Democrats and Republicans, will sing the praises of Jack Smith as an honorable man, beyond reproach, blah, blah, blah.   If you want to stop playing the pretending game, just pay attention to the people praising him, and THOSE voices are the bad guys.

As you can see from the simple (non-pretending) explanation of what is being done, the Lawfare process become clear.   Everything congress now begins to question falls under the protective blanket of an “ongoing investigation,” exactly as we predicted.  Plus, you get the additional Lawfare elements of congressional leadership under investigation which provides an entirely new ‘conflict of interest dynamic’ to the political equation.

Oppressed J** Is Watching You: What Orwell Got Wrong in his Dystopian Satire Nineteen Eighty-Four

When it was first published in 1949, George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four was a dystopian satire aimed at the left. In 2022, the novel seems to have become an instruction manual used by the left. For example, in Orwell’s satire the worst of all offences is thoughtcrime, the denial of official ideology and rebellion against the self-proclaimed wisdom and virtue of the state. The modern left have invented many forms of thoughtcrime to justify censorship and their own control. And the supreme form of thoughtcrime today is racism. In Britain, leftists have concealed and even collaborated with decades of organized rape and child-prostitution because the criminals are brown-skinned Muslims and their victims are White.
