Not-so-secret weaponry
Two major things have to go nuclear: 1) the fact that Biden/Harris are completely illegitimate, no question about it, the election was stolen and their handlers are both evil and incompetent, no question about that either; and 2) Donald Trump is the ONLY politician who has a ghost of a chance of bringing sanity back to USA, the West, and the world. For some reason Trump has been tarred with a deep mind-control brush.
For some reason he is not cool, even to intellectuals who fully recognize that national sovereignty, nationalism, and some semblance of a world with representative governments is the only way to move toward a livable future. I am going to name just three respectable intellectuals who frequently further those ideas while ignoring Trump, but there are many more. Van Wolferen, CA Fitts, and Alex Mercouris all talk about the importance of national sovereignty and lament a looming global dystopia ruled by WEF and company. But they never say the most practical way as of today to avoid that future is through Donald Trump, either in a second presidency or as a kingmaker for a refurbished Republican party. I personally believe the deep semiotics of the “cooties” Trump has for these people is he is an extreme representation of whiteness, maleness, and worldly success. Biden is about to blow up the fucking world and our best people still can’t or won’t understand Trump or speak rationally about his importance. Politics is the art of the possible and Trump is by far the best realistic possibility we have. ABN
The Retreat of the Oligarchs: The Great Russian Restoration
…The key takeaway here is that the almost two decade-long détente within Russia between the pro-West and pro-Russia factions has now been totally shattered. President Putin has made a play to consolidate more power and move the country in the direction of autarchy and autocracy by appealing to the support of the people. His recent speech at a stadium in Moscow was something you don’t see often from him — the last time we saw something comparable was when he appeared on stage after his electoral victory in 2018 and gave an emotional thank you to the Russian people for re-electing him again. But for the most part, Putin has not often utilized mass rallies as a political instrument, preferring to stream conferences with ministers and deliver pre-prepared video speeches. In that sense, he is quite unlike Trump, who built his entire movement on his high-energy political rallies where he would rail on and diss his personal and political opponents for hours at a time in front of a rapturous crowd. His populist appeal to the Russian people was answered in force: the stadium was overflowing and there were massive crowds outside it as well.
With this move, Putin has proven that he has the Russian people behind him.

J6 Fishing Expedition and 2022 Election Goals Could Reveal Why Pelosi Opened Satellite DC Police Offices in Key States
This post is an assembly of previous research, in preparation for what is likely to surface soon.
Anyone who has followed politics for any amount of time knows the Nancy Pelosi “January 6th Committee” is an opposition research effort under the guise of a House investigation. The goal is to frame an extremist narrative favorable for the Democrats in the 2022 mid-term election. That is the entire goal.
What the Mueller probe was to President Trump, the J6 Committee is to the MAGA movement.
Everyone, and I do mean e.v.e.r.y.o.n.e in Washington DC knew Robert Mueller was appointed as special counsel for one reason, to target President Trump, weaken his administration and ultimately remove him from office. Not a single entity in DC did not know that was the goal. The same is true here.
Everyone in DC knows Nancy Pelosi’s J6 Committee is intended to target Democrat political opposition. That is the goal. That is ONLY the goal. Not a single entity in DC does not know that is the goal.

The Great Russian Restoration
…With Russia squarely facing down NATO, the country will be forced into adopting a war economy, and that necessarily means a greater integration of the state and big business, with disloyal elements in the business class almost certainly put on a purge shortlist.
But there is certainly more in the works that will become readily apparent in the days and weeks that follow.
In just one week, Russian civil society has been shaken to its core:
Lines are being drawn between traitors and loyalists within workplaces, universities, and at the bazaar.
The Duma may not survive in its current state for long.
Martial law is being openly discussed.
Talk of QR codes and implementing the 2030 agenda in place like Moscow and St. Petersburg has all but been abandoned.
Liberals are boarding planes and heading for Georgia, Armenia, Turkey and Riga (another poor choice, perhaps).
Central Asian migrants are being deported in droves and many are fleeing on their own volition.
If the 90s saw a new, Liberal Democratic Oligarchy emerge from the chaos of the last days of the Soviet Union, then the 2020s are shaping up to be the death knell of that old political order. Russia is going through yet another political metamorphosis right before our very eyes.

POLAND: Statement of the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Poland in connection with the statement by the US Secretary of State on providing airplanes to Ukraine
The authorities of the Republic of Poland, after consultations between the President and the Government, are ready to deploy – immediately and free of charge – all their MIG-29 jets to the Ramstein Air Base and place them at the disposal of the Government of the United States of America.
At the same time, Poland requests the United States to provide us with used aircraft with corresponding operational capabilities. Poland is ready to immediately establish the conditions of purchase of the planes.
The Polish Government also requests other NATO Allies – owners of MIG-29 jets – to act in the same vein.

I have never much liked Carlson. He always seemed to lack a deep core of sensibility, honesty, often avoided important subjects. I think covid red-pilled him. Recently he has had more than a few good interviews and monologs. This is one of them though it falls down a bit at the end, imo. ABN
The American Empire Self-Destructs; But nobody thought that it would happen this fast
Empires often follow the course of a Greek tragedy, bringing about precisely the fate that they sought to avoid. That certainly is the case with the American Empire as it dismantles itself in not-so-slow motion.
The basic assumption of economic and diplomatic forecasting is that every country will act in its own self-interest. Such reasoning is of no help in today’s world. Observers across the political spectrum are using phrases like “shooting themselves in their own foot” to describe U.S. diplomatic confrontation with Russia and allies alike.
For more than a generation the most prominent U.S. diplomats have warned about what they thought would represent the ultimate external threat: an alliance of Russia and China dominating Eurasia. America’s economic sanctions and military confrontation have driven these two countries together, and are driving other countries into their emerging Eurasian orbit.

Putin’s Invasion of Ukraine Salon | Ray McGovern, John Mearsheimer
Macgregor makes perfect sense describing the only sensible outcome for Ukraine and world; Varney channels mind-control disbelief on hearing the obvious
Macgregor is the only commenter on TV I have seen that says the obvious. Here is a slightly more detailed version of his position: How to think about Ukraine. It was predictable that Western powers would pivot from covid panic & fear into Ukraine panic & fear. Western powers (including media) are prepared to risk WW3 to hide their guilt for covid as they seek to dominate Russia. Their reckless aggression and cynical manipulation of public opinion shows there is cabalistic control at the top just as there was before all other recent wars, including covid and their responses to it. Varney looks like a cheap whore pretending Zelensky is a “hero,” even taking into consideration how debased the meaning of that word has become. ABN

The Motive for the Strategic Creation of BRICS Resurfaces in the Ukraine Conflict
…The BRICS economic partnership was formed during the Obama administration. Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa (BRICS) saw President Obama sub-contracting, actually giving away, U.S. trade policy to the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. In the aftermath of the 2007 economic crisis created by the financial system, the BRICS group connected two central points that concerned them.
In the aftermath of the great housing/financial crisis, the relationships around the World Bank (WB), International Monetary Fund (IMF), EU central banking system and various multinational institutions and, more importantly, multinational corporations, merged even closer with the government. The priorities of the Davos and World Economic Forum (WEF) crowd was now virtually indistinguishable from many national governments.
We are fifteen years downstream from that inflection point and we are now seeing the outcomes. The WEF is now giving direct instructions to installed politicians for government policy. Put another way, multinational corporations are now telling government officials what to do.
Think of “The Great Reset” or “Build Back Better” or climate change, as examples. Worse yet, those governments are doing exactly what the WEF has told them to do.
