Update on the Ukrainian Front
PAUL CRAIG ROBERTS • JANUARY 29, 2022

It is over.

Putin has won.

Victoria Nuland, the neoconservative war monger appointed Undersecretary of State by the White House fool, announced Washington’s surrender when she called on China to use its influence with Russia to save Ukraine from invasion. She thus acknowledges what everyone had already concluded: the US and NATO lack the capability.

Washington’s surrender followed the request of the Ukrainian president that Washington stop the “Russian invasion” propaganda as there were no signs of an invasion being prepared and Washington’s rhetoric was too provocative. Germany refused flyover permission to the UK for arms deliveries to Ukraine. Two NATO members announced that they would not send troops if NATO got involved in Ukraine. Washington saw the writing on the wall.

Most countries saw Washington’s refusal to agree to the Russian mutual security proposal as unreasonable and dangerous. Moreover, Washington’s strategy of arming and training the Ukrainians and provoking them into a major attack on the Donbass Russians has failed. Ukraine knows that Russia will not permit any significant damage to Donbass. Moreover, Ukrainians are unsure they could even defeat the Donbass army, which is probably armed with the new Russian high impact weapons. Ukraine understands that Russia can wipe out its forces with conventional missiles without sending troops across the border. The Ukrainians also know that no one will be coming to their aid. The Pentagon itself announced that no US troops will be sent to Ukraine.

The fact that Washington publicly rejected the Russian proposal means nothing as Washington has no alternative but to accept it. The Russian foot came down hard, as it needed to do, and everyone including Washington understands that Ukraine will never be a member of NATO.

The US/NATO missile bases in Poland and Romania will be quietly removed over time. Washington will continue to bluster and threaten but is unable to take any action. The diplomatic Russians will allow Washington to save face in some arranged way.

All that is necessary at this point is that the diplomats in the Russian foreign ministry who tend to put too much faith in words and Russian hardliners understand that Washington’s rejection of the proposal has been rendered meaningless and that Putin has won.

The world has adjusted to Russia’s inflexible demand and unmatched military superiority backed up by China.

In view of the appearance on the scene of long overdue Russian assertiveness, I expect Washington to draw in its horns and to move toward a more cooperative and peaceful position.

Racist Anti-White and Sexist Anti-Male

Paul Craig Roberts

In a recent interview with Geopolitics & Empire – Hrvoje Moric asked me if there was an explanation for the uniformity of countries’ Covid policies with even the “free world” shutting down civil liberties with tyrannical lockdowns, mask, vaccine, and passport mandates, and falsified pandemic and death data.

I said it looked very much like a conspiracy but that I did not understand how such a far-flung conspiracy could have been organized and wondered if it was simply stupidity and lemmings following lemmings over the cliff. If I had read prior to the interview Kees Van Der Pijl’s new book, States of Emergency (Clarity Press, 2022, ), I would have had a better answer.

Kees Van Der Pijl, an author of distinction, writes that the global ruling class or oligarchy used Covid-19 to seize power by declaring a state of global emergency. He explains that the Information Technology revolution by creating a global information and communication system was ushering in a social transformation inimical to the oligarchy’s hegemony over society. In order to stop this transformation, the global elite used lockdowns, mandates, censorship and controlled narratives to seize control over populations.

Van Der Pijl makes a cogent argument. He shows that the “pandemic” is a political emergency, not a medical one. Its purpose was to suppress populations and transition to an authoritarian state and social structure. The elites’ abandonment of class compromise resulted in populist movements against elite control. To prevent a revolutionary force from emerging, a “Covid crisis” was used to advance authoritarianism and override objections from the people and from independent medical scientists. The orchestrated “pandemic” provided perfect cover for establishing a surveillance society on the basis of medical emergency without having to use overt violence.

The “Covid Pandemic” emerges as the most threatening example to date of Disaster Capitalism in which catastrophes are orchestrated in order to advance economic and political agendas.

Van Der Pijl believes that the global elite’s power seizure will fail. It is too counterfactual and affects elite interests differently, giving rise to conflicts within the global oligarchy. He says that as it becomes clear that we have been deceived, the elite and their institutions will lose authority, and the path will be clear for a better and more open democratic society.

Van Der Pijl has provided us with a very interesting and eye-opening book. If his book is widely read, people will gain immunity to the self-serving narratives of the global elite.

by Kees van der Pijl

Ever since large parts of the world were placed in lockdown in March 2020 in the name of public health, there has been a growing public suspicion that some sort of global seizure of power and social transformation is being implemented under guise of the extraordinary suspension of democracy and unprecedented restrictions of basic freedoms occurring in so many countries at the same time.

This book contends that since the financial collapse of 2008, populations in many countries have become restive in the face of extreme inequality and diminishing life chances. In a digital economy, one to two billion people will soon be superfluous, but they are not likely to remain sitting on their hands; in many parts of the world their resistance has begun. The Western capitalist elites have lost the capacity to engage their respective peoples in an equitable social contract and have resorted to stoking fear — from the terrorism scare and the Russian threat to the COVID infliction, with more variants coming on line — as a formula for curtailing protest and maintaining power.

It analyses the social forces driving this process: the US national security state and its intelligence apparatus, the IT giants spun off from it, and the large media conglomerates that have joined forces to create a comprehensive surveillance system of Orwellian dimensions The production of disease threats is amplified by the Gates Foundation and other public international organizations including the WHO, along with the pharmaceutical industries, foresee unprecedented profit in plans to inoculate the world population with experimental gene therapies sold as vaccines. Ideas on using a pandemic to initiate a worldwide state of siege have matured until the need for collective intervention — the threat of a new financial meltdown and the need to remove Trump — prompted global elites to seize the day.

The virus threat may not be an idle one, given the Pentagon’s biowarfare infrastructure which for decades has been producing gain-of-function viruses in laboratories the world over, as have a wide range of countries.

The book is the first to offer an extensively documented, comprehensive analysis of all aspects of this real and embellished threat that is already ushering in a global transformation. Yet it ends on a note of hope, arguing that the very IT revolution that enabled the siege holds out the promise of a deepening democracy as the global public surges past the gatekeepers, online and off.

This made me laugh: Wokefishing:

Putin Is Right!—About Wokeness

JOHN DERBYSHIRE • JANUARY 21, 2022

[Excerpted from the latest Radio Derb, now available exclusively through VDARE.com]

Earlier, by Steve Sailer: What If Wokeness Is A Russian Conspiracy To Ruin America?

I’m starting to be irritated by the word “Wokeness,” I’m not sure why. When “Woke” and “Wokeness” first came up, I thought they were sort of cute.

Since the 1980s, if not earlier, we had been using the cumbersome phrase “Politically Correct” to describe the idiocies of linguistic puritanism about race and sex. “Woke” was a big improvement: it replaced a two-word seven-syllable adjectival phrase with a concise one-syllable adjective. What’s not to like?

The derivative terms—”Wokeness,” “the Wokerati,” “the Great Awokening,” et cetera were likewise cute and handy.

My favorite derivative is “Wokefishing.”

That’s when cynical young males pretend to be Woke in order to lure Woke young women into sexual engagement.

I suspect my … son of having practiced Wokefishing, but he denies it.

Wokefishing as the New Legspreader.

Brought tear to my eyes.

Arnold Schwarzenigger gets the VAXX in August.

“Go with him, if you want to live … in the AFTER life.”

He then says Freedom should be Terminated for the VAXX resistance.

Next Arnie runs a red light at breakneck speed, trying to Terminate two innocent civilians.

Arnold was driving his big gas guzzling Yukon.

I guess that whole electric vehicle push from him was just … publicity.

And I thought he was friends with the Gretard.

The woman who was driving the hybrid … was “bleeding heavily from her head” as an ambulance rushed her to the hospital.

On the plus side, the VAXX may be Terminating Arnie soonish:

“Look at the photo again and look at Arnold’s ankles, they are very swollen, strongly indicating that he has heart failure or cardiac issues.”

Flattening the curve with the VAXXed shabos goyim “useful idiots”.

Hello,

You may remember that during our conversations, I said, probably quite a few times, that the Russians were “immune” to Feminism, Political Correctness (a Bolshevik expression: politicheskaya correctness), etc.

They had 70 years of that shite.

They have gone through it and it cost the lives of millions of people.

Solzhenitsyn number is 66 million; BUT he includes the people that WOULD have been born.

Whatever, we are talking of dozens of millions. Even more millions in China, where the present regime is fighting the PC disease ; feminism, effeminate boys (i.e. faggots) ….

We in the West are going through what the Russians went through in the 20s (then the Stalinists crushed the Trotskyites) and in the 30s in Germany (there the National Socialists crushed the (((International))) Socialists).

Vlad the Impaler, Putin, is quite aware of this.

Here is the speech Donald Trump, OR whomever is claiming become the Leader of Conservatism SHOULD make.

It makes one wonder WHY no one, not ONE Conservative,  is making this kind of speech:

I do NOT have answer to this wondering of mine,

PS       On a further rant, this disease predates the Bolsheviks.

The Bolsheviks saw themselves and were the heirs of the Jacobins.

During the French Revolution, there was also a Sex Revolution.

The Marquis de Sade plays were every popular … until Napoleon took power.
