It’s mid-August and the headlines are increasingly looming around the Ukraine v Russia conflict. You can sense it; I can sense it, and we all need to trust our instincts.
As we navigate our way through this intense foreign and domestic political gaslighting, lies being created daily by government officials and their allies in the corporate media, being able to hone your instincts becomes even more critical. Not many people can do it.
The last week or so has highlighted a marked increase in urgency and hostility amid those in the CIA/DoS who control the events in Ukraine. Everything about this insufferable World War Reddit is sketchy, including the ongoing absence of any frontline reporters anywhere in the “battlefield” giving updates on what we are told is intense fighting.
I have never seen a war that did not have a single journalist war correspondent, clad in a helmet and flak jacket, giving updates on what is happening on the ground from a location near the battle zone. Yet here we are more than two years into this “conflict” and not a single war correspondent is reporting. It’s just completely weird.
Adding to my own view on the sketchy reporting from Intelligence Community operatives, is my personal drive in a car from Russia (Kazan) to Montenegro (Kotor) through the entire cross section of Ukraine, without any difficulty. I did see some large fishing nets being deployed in what I was told was a makeshift counter drone effort, and I did witness some 6? wide trenches being built, but no actual ‘conflict.’
To be fair, I wasn’t exactly trying to put myself into a combat zone, I was just going from East to West and was quite happy not to encounter any hostilities. But it’s all just weird.
If you read the western headlines and traditional legacy news reports, you get the sense that NATO is trying desperately to increase the intensity of the hostilities. At the very least, they are trying to increase the perception of an uptick in hostilities and conflict.
We see reports of Ukraine military entering Russian territory to fight, which I highly doubt – and reports of Russia attacking a nuclear power station in retaliation for the invisible Ukraine military entering Russian territory…. again, seriously doubtful. From my perspective, these are Western IC “reports” of activity that is carried out by Western IC operators.
POLITICO – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Sunday that Russia has started a fire on the grounds of the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, the largest such facility in Europe.
It comes as the war between the two countries enters a new phase, with Ukraine occupying Russian territory for the first time last week as part of its retaliation against Russia’s full-scale invasion, which is now in its third year.
Russia captured the plant, which is in Ukrainian territory, shortly after invading Ukraine in 2022. Its six nuclear reactors are in cold shutdown and no nuclear activity was recorded on Sunday, but the overall risk of nuclear meltdown remains elevated.
“Currently, radiation levels are within norm,” Zelenskyy said in a post on X which included a video. “As long as the Russian terrorists maintain control over the nuclear plant, the situation is not and cannot be normal.”
“Since the first day of its seizure, Russia has been using the Zaporizhzhia NPP only to blackmail Ukraine, all of Europe, and the world,” he added.
There is widespread concern about the safety of the plant, which is located on the southern bank of the Dnipro River around 50 kilometres southwest of Zaporizhzhia. (read more)
From where I sit, the nuclear angle is created to try and scare people into a justification to push the west further into the regional conflict. After all, a nuclear cloud would travel far beyond Ukraine’s borders – at least that appears to be the purpose of the messaging.
The Dept of State and CIA operators of this Ukraine construct are so deeply enmeshed into this storyline it is really weird. The only Western narrative that came close to this level of media propaganda was the COVID-19 vaccination demand.
Yes, what I am saying is the stories around Ukraine are as detached from the reality of the visible threat, as the vaccine narrative was from the reality of the COVID-19 threat.
Something else entirely is at play that has nothing, absolutely nothing, to do with regional military conflict.
Whether it is prior positioned investments by Blackrock and the multinationals, or whether it is raw material and energy-centric financial gains that must be protected, something else is driving the U.S. State Dept and CIA that has nothing to do with Russia expanding a defensive border against NATO intrusion.
What I can also assure you is that Russians certainly see this context that just doesn’t make sense. Why is the U.S. Government so entirely willing to bankrupt itself, essentially destroy itself, in an effort to protect a few thousand square meters in Eastern Ukraine.
