Insane in the Ukraine
More evidence to support the manufacturing of consent for a war that never had to happen, the blatant hypocrisy of it all, and why this conflict will backfire spectacularly
If you haven’t read “Context: Why Putin Isn’t Wrong”, I highly recommend doing so first. The rest of this piece presumes you’re aware of the history that led to this moment.
THE WEST
It’s a near-ubiquitous reality across the Western world that our political leaders are mediocre, narcissistic, sociopathic puppets who genuinely do not care about the majority of their own people and exist solely for personal gain and to fulfill the wishes of the corporate Oligarchs who placed them in positions of power. The pandemic “health response" made this abundantly clear.
President Macron (France), Prime Minister Boris Johnson (UK), Prime Minister Justin Trudeau (Canada), Angela Merkel and her successor Olaf Scholz (Germany), Benjamin Netanyahu and his successor Naftali Bennett (Israel), and Scott Morrison (Australia) President Biden (U.S.), and Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern (New Zealand) most especially come to mind.
These are some (not all) of the totalitarian tyrants who violated the Nuremberg Code by coercing citizens to be injected with experimental, DNA-altering vaccines and supported segregationist policies via vaccine passports.
They knew exactly what they were doing.
Maybe you can turn a blind eye to segregationists who broke international codes of conduct written in response to Nazism. Maybe you can conveniently forget the atrocities committed by the U.S. War Machine, killing 20-30 million people with the help of complicit allies. Maybe you don’t see the irony of the West turning around and accusing Putin of being the next Hitler, but my conscience doesn’t allow room for such grotesque levels of ignorance.
That’s not me. Or any of the other critical-thinkers who actually give a shit about the goddamn truth.
Why did I start off referencing the Covid-19 “health” response? Because while ignorance among the citizenry in the West is nothing new, especially in regards to foreign policy, the pandemic injected so much added fear into the minds of already weak-minded people that it resulted in widespread mass formation psychosis. The Establishment is weaponizing this condition, grafting it onto the situation in Ukraine.
And it’s disgusting.
That being said, nobody can legitimately argue that Vladimir Putin is a “good guy” either, which is precisely why I didn’t title my previous article “Context: Why Putin Is Right”. I said he wasn’t wrong. Yes, there is a difference.
I took the time to analyze actual evidence, the historical context that shapes geopolitical realities, and the resulting picture has undeniably placed Putin firmly between a rock and a hard place. He didn’t have any good options. That is not the same as saying invading Ukraine was a moral choice, though there certainly is a strong case that his decision was the lesser of two evils.
ALTERNATIVE? WHAT ALTERNATIVE?
Instead of invading Ukraine, Putin could have allowed President Zelensky to continue building an arsenal on the Russian border and join NATO. He could have continued to stand by and done nothing in response to the ongoing ethnic cleansing of Russian-sympathizers in Eastern-Ukrainian (already up to 14,000 dead).
Continued passivity would have meant further slaughtering in the Donbass region, an escalating national security threat to Russia, and an all-but-guaranteed assurance of World War 3 when (not if) Ukraine joined NATO.
OR… he could invade Ukraine.
FOLLOW THE MONEY, ALWAYS
The consequences of NATO expansion have been well understood for decades by a plethora of actual experts. Call me crazy, but I defer to well-informed insights rather than the yellow journalism being churned out by the war-mongering media machine curated by imperialists at the U.S. State Department, sponsored by defense contractors who directly profit from war, and so-called experts funded by the Pentagon.
Same as I followed the actual science when it came to the Covid-vaccines (reviewing clinical trial data, reading peer-reviewed scientific literature, listening to the inventor of mRNA technology, listening to the most-published cardiologists in the world, Big Pharma whistleblowers, and studying fundamental principles of virology and evolutionary biology), same as I’m currently listening to expert historians and their professional geopolitical analyses.
Here are three of them:
Jack F. Matlock Jr., US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warned in 1997 about the extreme danger of further NATO expansion.
Stephen Cohen, a famed scholar of Russian studies, raised alarm in 2014.
And here’s Noam Chomsky in 2015 with his prophetic warning.
BLOOD-THIRSTY BIDEN, THEN AND NOW
Why would President Biden still knowingly pursue such a dangerous path? Recall for a moment then-Senator Biden’s extensive role in manufacturing consent for the Iraq War.
If you haven’t seen the 25-minute documentary “Worth the Price?”, please watch it in full. It is essential viewing to establish just how much of a deeply-committed war hawk Joe Biden truly is. The only difference between Biden then and now is that he’s developed dementia, which makes him more unstable than ever.
If you haven’t even heard of this documentary that's probably because it was heavily-suppressed by Youtube algorithms to ensure it didn’t hurt Biden’s chances during the 2020 election. It still has under 42,000 views, which is f’n crazy. If the Bernie Sanders campaign had simply linked the video to his supporters in an e-mail blast, I’m convinced that Biden would not have survived the Democratic primary despite every rigging attempt by the DNC. But Bernie was controlled opposition, so, y’know… he didn’t.
Watched it? Okay, good.
Now consider that Biden’s chief foreign policy advisor at that time was Antony Blinken And now he’s Secretary of State. Do you understand now why the Biden Administration has blown off all the experts who strongly advised against the expansion of NATO? Joe Biden is a demented, CIA puppet hellbent on doing to nuclear-armed Russia what was previously done to Iraq. The U.S. Empire and NATO are recklessly pursing regime-change against a nuclear-armed country, all consequences be damned.
There isn’t strategy. This is suicide.
THE FALSE MEDIA NARRATIVE
The narrative in a nutshell has been insultingly simplistic:
Putin is the next Hitler (nope), a murderous monster targeting innocent Ukrainians (nope) without any provocation (nope), and we should be giving Ukraine all the support in the world (nope) as they bravely confront their Russian-imperialist invaders (nope).
And if you don’t agree with THAT then you must be a Putin puppet, a dirty commie, and a traitor who hates freedom. We’re told we absolutely must #StandWithUkraine. Period. No debate. End of discussion. Fuck you. Full stop.
Putin meanwhile directly addressed the Ukrainian people, encouraging them to reject their “Neo-Nazi” government leaders. The Guardian, among other Western outlets, promptly dismissed any validity to this claim, then used it as cannon fodder to question Putin’s mental health for making such a “bizarre” statement, citing that there is “no evidence” to support it.
The Associated Press, whose work is collected and republished by over 1,300 newspapers and broadcasters and disseminated across 99 countries throughout the world, carries an especially powerful influence over global news narratives. And they recently recruited Jonathan Dekel-Chen, a history professor at Jerusalem's Hebrew University, to refute Putin’s claims. He said the following which has been published in various outlets, including People magazine:

YOU’RE WELCOME.
The Establishment is now faced with the impossible task of denying years worth of their own reports, all of which validate Putin’s claim. This is why the current level of ignorance being demonstrated by so many Americans is so deeply egregious, because the fake news reports today are so obviously in contradiction to all previous reporting.
Half a decade of relentless red-baiting propaganda demonizing Putin and all-things Russian combined with the widespread mass formation psychosis resulting from pandemic propaganda is being weaponized to cloud American minds.
I suspect that the DNA-altering Covid-jabs are also having an impact on brain function, but I cannot definitively prove this. Yet.
The sheep will wake up. Articles like this one guarantee it. Truth is more contagious than Covid, after all. Even the sheepiest of sheep come around, eventually, just as many have woken up to the obscenely anti-science public “health” measures (as evidenced by only 28% of adults getting a booster and 33% of children receiving at least one dose). Of course, they woke up only after 76% of Americans had already received at least one dose.
And that’s what the Establishment is counting on. They don’t care about IF the public becomes aware, they care about WHEN.
BIG TECH BUYING TIME
That’s why Big Tech companies in partnership with U.S. Intelligence are doing their best to delay these revelations, herding sheeple in the other direction as much as possible in ways that are both subtle and blatant.
Social media platforms are trying to do this under the guise of protecting us from “Kremlin messaging”, as if this censorship were for our benefit. Since when is it a bad thing to listen to all sides? Why aren’t we allowed to hear what Putin has to say and then make up our own minds?
Elon Musk was requested by “unspecified governments” (the U.S. undoubtedly being one of them) to use his Starlink satellites to block Russian news sources. This is how desperate they are
Sadly, those afflicted with mass formation psychosis don’t share Elon’s principled adherence to free speech absolutism.
This is how fucking stupid the sheep really are:
Then we have Instagram which actually disabled the neonazis hashtag entirely! Wouldn’t want to make researching more about vital context easy, right?
And if you go to post a story on IG, click GIF, then search “Putin”, and you’ll find that all images of him have been removed and replaced with pro-Ukraine messaging.
False stories have also been allowed to go viral on social media, several of which were exposed in this excellent piece from Off-Guardian.
BUT ISN’T ZELENSKY JEWISH?
(sigh) Just read this article from Max Blumenthal at The Grayzone. I don’t have the patience to address how lazy that argument is.
HOW ELSE IS ZELENKSY CORRUPT?
Really? Aligning with Neo-Nazis isn’t enough? Having the Ukrainian equivalent of Hitler Youth training isn’t enough?
Fine, let’s go down a totally different rabbit hole. Let’s follow the money.
President Zelensky, who didn’t even speak Ukrainian until sortly before he ran for office, was only elected in the first place thanks to his campaign being bankrolled by Ihor Valeriyovych Kolomoyskyi. Who is he? He’s one of the three wealthiest billionaires in Ukraine who happened to be the owner of a television network that aired “Servant of the People”. And who starred in that show?
President Zelensky!
So not only was the billionaire Oligarch bankrolling Zelensky’s run for President, but Kolomoyskyi was also his former boss. But here’s the real kicker:
He’s also the financier behind the Neo-Nazis who slaughtered 14,000+ Russian-sympathizers in Eastern Ukraine.
PER THE GUARDIAN:
The rewards for weapons and saboteurs, which were announced by Kolomoisky's deputy, Boris Filatov, were offered around eastern Ukraine on Thursday afternoon. A local man outside the anti-terrorist operation's staging point at the Kramatorsk airfield, which has been partially blocked off by angry residents, told the Guardian on Thursday that the airfield director had offered $10,000 for a captured Russian agent. He declined to provide his name.
This is not the first time Kolomoisky has put his own money toward the country's defence. Last month, the oligarch spent "several million dollars" buying car batteries for military vehicles. Ukraine's army has suffered years of neglect, with a reported 6,000 battle-ready troops at the moment.
Kolomoisky has a personal feud with the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, who derided him as a "unique impostor" last month. In return the oligarch called Putin "a schizophrenic, short in stature".
Kolomoyskyi ruffled American feathers when he expressed some anti-Western sentiments in a New York Times piece (which is now behind a paywall), angry that the U.S. appeared to be using Zelensky as a pawn into provoking a war with Russia. Turns out even his corrupt ass had understood that this was a dangerous path.
A few months later, by sheer coincidence, the FBI raided two of his offices, seizing computers and laptops… but with no subsequent charges. It even went to a Grand Jury, meaning there must have been significant grounds for the case against him. Still no charges. Some kind of a deal was undoubtedly struck with the FBI to quash the investigation and we can reasonably speculate that their proof of his financial crimes was used as leverage.
So the U.S. regained control over Kolomoyskyi and Kolomoyskyi controls Zelensky. At the very least, the FBI stopped him from persuading Zelensky to defy the Western agenda, keeping him as a puppet of NATO so the ongoing provocations against Russia could continue unabated. Win-win for the American imperialists, right? The plan was back on track!
Oh, and how do I know Kolomoyskyi controls Zelensky?
Because he explicitly admitted it:
“If I put on glasses and look at myself like the whole rest of the world, I see myself as a monster, as a puppet master, as the master of Zelensky, someone making apocalyptic plans. I can start making this real.”
Speaking of assholes telling us they’re assholes, here’s some of those Neo-Nazis in their own words detailing their level of influence over the Ukrainian government, as well as how much they enjoy killing people with weaponry provided by the West, but not specifically because it helps the West…
BUT BECAUSE THEY THINK KILLING IS “FUN”.
FOOL ME ONCE, SHAME ON YOU. FOOL ME TWICE…
I didn’t think I’d still have to address this in 2022, but I’ve talked to several clueless shit-libs in Los Angeles who still refuse to believe that the corporate media and politicians could ever go-all in on such a horrific conspiracy in order to manufacture public support for World War 3, convincing the American public to cheerlead for Neo-Nazis.
The naïveté in this country is simply astounding.
It’s difficult to convince anyone who has been indoctrinated into accepting false beliefs so thoroughly that they’ve elevated those beliefs to a level of absolute fact.
It’s like trying to convert a devout Christian into becoming an atheist. It’s especially difficult when a sizable majority becomes delusional since faux-validation creates a positive reinforcement loop. Just because people around you believe X is true, that, in and of itself, does not mean that X is true. This is why the ability to think critically, with a strict adherence to verifiable evidence, is essential.
A MAJORITY CAN (AND HAS) BEEN WRONG BEFORE
If I sound conspiratorial, you’re right. But you’re wrong to use the term as a basis for dismissing my position. Conspiracies do (and have) taken place. The most relevant example of this was one of the most egregious lies in modern history and it wasn’t even that long ago. An overwhelming number of Americans were duped into believing that Saddam Hussein possessed weapons of mass destruction.
“He’s got ‘em.” - George Bush, 2003
“There was nothing there.” - George Bush, 2010
But it wasn’t just Bush who outright lied to justify a major war. So did U.S. Intelligence.
And Prime Minister Tony Blair.
And then-Senator Biden, as previously mentioned.
And of course Senator Clinton lied.
And the late, not-so-great Senator McCain.
The majority of politicians lied and so did the entire Establishment. And nobody was ever held accountable, other than when Jon Stewart publicly chastised New York Times “journalist” Judith Miller for her role in manufacturing consent.
Which, granted, was highly satisfying to watch.
This was an intentional conspiracy to deceive the public into supporting unlawful imperialism. And boy, did it work. Here’s a terrifying reminder of just how badly a massive majority of the Americans Sheeple were led astray:
Despite no evidence to support that Saddam Hussein had WMD’s the war still happened, resulting in the deaths of 1+ million Iraqi civilians, displacing an additional 2-3 million, the formation of ISIS, 4,500 dead American soldiers, an unlawful torture program, and all it cost American taxpayers was $2 trillion dollars.
I’m taking the time to remind everyone about the Iraq horseshit because it’s IMPORTANT to understand that THERE IS historical precedence for extreme conspiracies of extreme consequence being perpetrated by the Establishment and a majority of citizens HAVE BEEN successfully fooled into supporting pure and utter fiction. And this was nearly twenty years before lemmings were stupid enough to wear fucking masks OUTSIDE.
The Ukraine crisis is just another example of this psychosis and it’s happening in real-time. Sadly, it’s been so effective that even Jon Stewart himself has found himself on the wrong side of history.
XENOPHOBIC BLITZKRIEG
The only way to maintain the false-narrative is to cement anti-Russian hatred with a blitzkrieg of xenophobia. By bombarding us with such a multitude of false reasons to hate not just Putin but all of Russia, to make “Russian” synonymous with “The Enemy”. It’s not enough for the Establishment to manufacture short-term consent for war by suppressing the truth about Ukraine. They need us to actually feel hate.
This is why they’re bullying anyone who disagrees with the narrative, trying to normalize anti-Russian sentiment, to make it seem so normal, so popular, and so justified that it becomes cemented as the “right thing to do” rather than what it actually is: RACISM.
INTENTIONAL ESCALATION
Whether you agree or don’t agree with Putin’s decision, the idea being pushed by warmongering imperialists (like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton) to sanction Russia into the stone age is absolute lunacy.
Crashing their currency, destroying the entire Russian economy, will prove absolutely devastating for the 145 million people who live there, 12 million of whom are under 15 years old. Why do they deserve to suffer?
But hey, good luck finding any humanity from a complete sociopath whose first response to news of Libyan President Gaddafi’s assassination was to smile and cackle gleefully. At least she’s consistent in her depravity.
For the record, Gaddafi provided education, healthcare, and housing as a human right to all of Libya and was beloved by his people. After his death at the hands of ISIS fighters (funded by the CIA), they re-instituted an active slave trade to the region. This was under Obama, shit-libs. Take notes.
I could go on and on, but the bottom-line is that the U.S. Empire and much of the West has not been on the right side of history for decades. They were wrong then and they’re dead wrong now.
PREDICTING THE ENDGAME
Civil unrest will result throughout Russia and many innocent citizens will outright starve to death. The West is merciless and will financially crush the Russian people in the hopes that out of sheer desperation they will overthrow their own government and remove Putin from power. Or as Senator Lindsay Graham has suggested, outright assassinate him.
This outcome is highly unlikely since Russians are a proud people, have moral high-ground (and know it), and the majority supported the invasion.
“Official pollsters show about 70 per cent of Russians approve sending troops to Ukraine,” said Associate Professor Nikita Savin from HSE University in Moscow.
What is more likely to occur is that Putin, who has repeatedly offered Ukraine opportunities to surrender and agreed to safe passage for civilians to escape, will reluctantly be forced to escalate his efforts.
I know it sounds like I’m coming from a place of bias, but I’m not. I’m basing my assessment on the fact that Putin is clearly been holding back, as all evidence strongly indicates that Ukraine doesn’t have a prayer against the full fury of the Russian military:
There is no scenario in which Ukraine will be victorious.
If Putin really wanted to go all-out and didn’t care about civilian deaths he could have ended this conflict almost overnight. NATO has already backed off on plans to extend membership to Ukraine, as Germany wisely made explicitly clear. Putin has therefore already achieved one of his two objectives.
The other is to defeat the Neo-Nazis forces controlling the Ukraine government (funded by the U.S.) and in doing so bring about an end to the ethnic-cleansings that were occurring in the Donbass region, the ones Zeleneky’s campaign financier Kolomoyskyi enabled.
Putin will finalize his victory either by reforming the Ukraine government or by extending Russia’s boundary to incorporate the land entirely, outright erasing Ukrainian statehood.
The real goal of the U.S. and NATO, at this stage, is just to drag things out as long as possible. They know Russia will win, but want to ensure Russia takes a significant hit in the process and are sacrificing Ukraine to do it. And if they can crash the economy severely enough in the process then they can cling to the distant secondary hope of removing Putin and achieving regime-change. But make no mistake. The West doesn’t give a damn about Ukraine.
That’s why NATO has firmly rejected a no-fly zone, despite Zelenksy begging for it. Doing so would be considered a declaration of war and NATO does not want a direct confrontation with a nuclear power.
Ukraine is a sacrificial lamb being manipulated by NATO to damage Russia.
Still, the amount of aide alone that NATO continues to pour into Ukraine to keep fueling further chaos is playing with fire and is strongly ill-advised. Not only is Putin increasingly warning that he considers sanctions an act of war (which they technically are), but the longer this drags on the more Ukrainians will needlessly die. They ARE going to lose and Ukraine should therefore surrender to mitigate the loss of life.
It’s one thing for NATO countries to provide humanitarian aide to Ukraine, but supplying fucking fighter jets is unbelievably dangerous and risks World War 3.
