How Many People Has the U.S. Government Killed?
By David Swanson
Of course I can only touch on one aspect of recent history here.
I’m looking at the new report from Costs of War.
Five years ago, I think Nicolas Davies credibly and conservatively estimated 6 million people directly killed in U.S. wars since 2001 in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Syria, Yemen, Libya, and Somalia.
What Costs of War has now done is to go with the highly dubious but corporate-respectable estimate of 900,000 directly killed in all of those wars, but leaving out Libya and Somalia. They’ve then documented a pattern of four indirect deaths for every direct death. By indirect deaths, they mean deaths caused by a war’s impact on:
“1) economic collapse, loss of livelihood and food insecurity;
2) destruction of public services and health infrastructure;
3) environmental contamination; and
4) reverberating trauma and violence.”
Then they’ve multiplied 900,000 by 5 = 4.5 million direct and indirect deaths.
The Next Big Thing
“Psychopaths and narcissists aren’t ‘mentally ill,’ they’re just horrible people, and they get worse with age, not better.” – Aimee Terese
Now that the charm has worn off the transsexual craze — the idea that a person’s emotional distress can be cured by identifying as the opposite sex — we await the next ploy out of the Woke Transhumanist game-plan to destabilize the human project on earth. People-of-color, brown, indigenous, Pacific Islander, gay, lesbian, plus-size, differently-abled, all women (of course), have taken their turn in the batting order of intersectional oppressed minority groups, and each has walked off with a participation trophy. Who’s left now?
The dead! Their needs have not received sufficient attention. Inclusion has not come to them… yet. They are systematically kept out of all current activities and ceremonies. They are segregated in ghettos of grass and granite. The legal system stigmatizes them. Numerically, through human history, they are by far the largest demographic. Yet, they are routinely ignored, overlooked, disrespected. If anyone deserves to be Woked-up from the sleep of oppression, it’s them.
Don’t despair, a great grooming is underway. The next new thing will be for most of us to transition into the dead. Do you think it’s an accident that Hollywood has churned out zombie movies by morgue-full in recent years? Obviously, more and more Americans have come to identify as the walking dead. (And, judging by the behavior in our land, a lot of people’s brains have been eaten.) Even our businesses and banks have a walking dead kind of look to them.
"Iran gambit": Will the US strike China and Russia in the Middle East?
"Russia is not Europe" (Россия не Европа)
In addition to the nuclear programme, Americans are concerned about Iran's cooperation with Beijing and Moscow. To change the situation in its favor, the U.S. can only by overthrowing the existing government, for which they fuel protests in Iran. For example, Biden said the Iranians would soon free themselves. Such a statement looks not just provocative, but, given the U.S. experience in orchestrating colour revolutions, programmatic. Iranian President I. Raisi has already said that Iran was liberated 43 years ago during the Islamic Revolution. However, the White House cannot rely only on internal protests with a hundred-per-cent guarantee: despite the discontent of the population, the position of the Iranian authorities is strong enough. Therefore, the Iranian protest must be "helped" from outside.
Pretend to the End
“Who would have thought in 2020 when they were voting for Joe, that they were voting for the most hardcore accelerationist collapsitarian candidate in history.” — Deep South SR on Twitter
The creatures of the underworld running our country must think the public is awfully stupid. You are expected to take at face value the claim that “Joe Biden” is actually up for re-election. Could it be more obvious that he’s pretending? (Just as he’s been pretending to serve as CEO of our government.) Meanwhile, we are not supposed to notice that the entities behind him are scrambling to dismantle, demolish, and asset-strip what remains of the USA in body and spirit. But enough of us are noticing to make it a problem for them.
First, who are these entities? They are exactly who you think they are. What you see around you is not just a complex system (Western Civ) unwinding and breaking apart — though that is part of the story. It is also the appearance of a controlled demolition by desperate, frightened, and crazy people who want to be the ones left standing when the demolition is complete. The catch is, they are pretending, too. They are control-freaks who cannot keep things under control.
This power underworld is a coalition of large public and private organizations, here and out there in the world, and the folks in charge of them, and they are all out of control, too, pretending that their operations are coherent and efficacious. For instance, the vast consortium of intelligence agencies in our country, the CIA, DIA, ad nauseam, their multitudinous spin-offs, and their international partners (e.g., MI6, Mossad, the World Health Organization). If you want to see how they actually work, watch the Coen Brothers’ movie Burn After Reading. You will see a bustle of perfectly hapless, frantic, and insanely self-destructive activity performed by clueless clowns in nice business suits.
Political Scientist: NATO troops predicted to enter Ukraine
VОZМЕЗДИЕ
"NATO is in fact already fighting on the side of Ukraine and may send its troops to the territory of this country" ~ Oleksiy Zhivov.
It is well known that NATO and EU leaders have repeatedly stated that Russia must not achieve its goals in any way during a special operation. According to NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg, a Russian victory would be a defeat not only for Ukraine, but also for the entire alliance. He also noted that NATO should not allow such an outcome.
Political scientist Oleksiy Zhivov wrote in his Telegram channel that rumours were circulating in the Internet that NATO troops would enter Ukraine by winter. Such information, according to him, "comes from the very enemy camp". Zhivov himself believes that coalition forces of Western countries will sooner or later fight in Ukraine, but, the expert believes, "it will not be NATO" but another "proxy: a Polish-Romanian coalition or something similar". According to the political scientist, the alliance will try to preserve "a window of security from a Russian nuclear strike". Despite this, the war correspondent suggests that nuclear strikes will still be used "with a high probability". "Whether they will be tactical or strategic is an open question." The political analyst does not rule out that the Kremlin is already aware of such prospects. "That is why they are preparing the 'Wagner line' and the 'Surovikin line' along the left bank of the Dnieper River," the political analyst believes.
The Conflict Between the West and Russia Is a Religious One
💬 Yanukovych's pivot towards Russia was seen by the “woke” establishment in Washington as a sign that Ukraine would follow Russia into adopting an increasingly Christian-friendly social culture; one that the “liberals” and “progressives” in Washington despised.
The war currently underway in Ukraine—which pits Ukraine as a proxy for the collective West against Russia—is primarily an ideological or religious one, with Russia representing what is left of Christian Europe, and “the West” representing a totalitarian ideology that abhors religion in general and Christianity in particular.
This statement may sound strange, given the fact that some Westerners – though fewer every day – still see “the West,” (basically Europe and North America) as Christian, and Russia as Communist, or crypto-Communist. But this is no longer the case, and has not been for some considerable time.
In fact, the thirty years that have passed since the fall of the Berlin Wall and the end of the Soviet Union, has seen a complete reversal of roles; the collective West is now a totalitarian and aggressively anti-religious power-block that seeks to export its anti-Christian and anti-human ideology onto the rest of the world. And Russia is loathed by the West's ruling elite precisely because it has resisted this process and moreover has gone in the opposite direction: having once been an active proponent of “scientific materialism” and atheism, Russia has reverted to its Orthodox Christian roots and has rolled back the more pernicious policies and attitudes of the Soviet era. In order to demonstrate the truth of this, we need to look at the history of Russia and its interaction with the West since the early 1990s.
"Why Such A World If Russia Is Not There?"
Elena Panina (Елена Панина)
RE: photo: A Commando group of the “Dnepr-1” Battalion of the Ukrainian army undertook a special operation in the Telmanovo village, during which they killed “terrorist” (that’s how the authorities and the mass-media in Ukraine call the separatists) Andrei Borisov (a.k.a. “The Chechen”) and three Russian soldiers, including General Sergei Adreicenko, reported the Unian Ukrainian News Agency on Tuesday, quoting the 6029 website in Mariupol.
[Just a short comment:] The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are destroying the energy system of Ukraine not in order for someone to come to their senses and realize. They will not come to their senses and will not realize. And no one will be overthrown. And they will certainly not sympathize with us. I don't care about their sympathy.
All this is not done for the sake of improving negotiating positions. Not for bargaining or profit. Not in retaliation for the de-energized Crimea or the bombed Donbass. Even the logistics of the Ukrainian Armed Forces have nothing to do with it: their soldiers will always get generators and diesel. We are destroying Ukraine's energy system for the most important purpose - to cut Ukraine off from modernity.
So that the enemy country plunged into its natural state of a wilderness— without factories, railways and satellite Internet. This is called, "bombed into the Stone Age." It's also called, "Why Such A World If Russia Is Not There?" Russia does not need their insights. Their sympathies. Their Maidans. Russia needs the enemy to stop being our contemporary.
And while we are talking about the borders of the XVII century, you also can draw them, not only in terms of territory, but you can trace them in mentalities too.
The Russians who remained there will be patient and wait. We will come and take them back to Our Time. The enemy must perish – (they are singing a creepy lullaby over there). But we shall prevail. That will be our victory.
Execution video leaked again...
detv.us
The series of execution and torture videos from Ukraine continues: On Tuesday, several journalists published another video that apparently shows the shooting of at least five prisoners of war lying on the ground.
Journalist Alexander Kots and Russian military expert and blogger Boris Roshin independently released a video on Tuesday that appears to show the shooting of more Russian soldiers in Ukrainian POWs.
The video – which should be warned if you don’t have the nerve to see it and are strictly forbidden to anyone under the age of 18 – shows several people (at least five) lying face down on the ground in Russian military uniforms. At least the body closest to the ending on the right shows signs of life in the form of movements that typically accompany breathing. He wears a red armband on his upper left arm, you can see his dark blonde hair, cut short. Next to it is an open black wallet. Another person moves between those lying on the ground, carrying a gun in his hand. One by one, this person shoots at the other people on the ground. First on the one on the right and then in turn on the others. You hear short salvos, the bodies on the ground twitch briefly.
When the camera pans back to the first man, he still shows signs of life, it’s the breathing movements that give him away. The shooter points the gun barrel directly at the soldier’s head, a salvo can be heard, and a red liquid, presumably blood, squirts out of his head.
Seeing and Resisting the Agents of Chaos
“The basic problem of the Christians in this country in the last eighty years or so, in regard to society and in regard to government, is that they have seen things in bits and pieces instead of totals.” ~ F. A. Schaeffer, A Christian Manifesto
I’m quite sure that were he alive today, Francis Schaeffer would have seen through the fog of nonsense dished out to us every day by Globalist Pravda (aka the mainstream media), and would see that something extremely evil is being carried out in plain sight. I’m equally sure that he would have been even more grieved with the inability of his fellow Christians to join the dots than he was back in his day.
Let me start with an assertion, and then proceed to show how I think this is panning out. A relatively small group of people — let’s call them the Globalist Cabal — are currently engaged in an agenda to transition all of humanity from an old paradigm to a new paradigm. Although they have been working on this for decades, their plans burst out into the open two years ago with the announcement of an apparently novel virus (which was in fact a coronavirus manipulated in US-funded laboratories to include a synthetic Spike Protein), followed by an almost lockstep response of Governments across the world with measures that had never been tried or tested before, and which were self-evidently wicked and harmful.
Transforming Ukraine Into a Barren Wasteland
Ukraine is a made-in-the-USA, Nazi-infested, fascist dictatorship. Its US-installed coup d'état regime is a festering sore in Europe’s heartland. Governance of, by and for everyone equitably, according to the rule of law, is banned. So is everything Russian.
No longer a nation-state, the length and breadth of its territory is unsafe and unfit to live in. It’s been this way since the Obama/Biden regime’s 2014 coup. Since Russia’s liberating SMO began last February, it’s been just a matter of time before its scourge is eliminated.
According to Russia’s UN envoy, Vassily Nebenzia at the Security Council on Wednesday: 💬 One of the SMO’s goals “is to undermine the (regime’s) combat capabilities.” It’ll continue until the US-installed regime capitulates.
