Steve Harrigan Returns From Ukraine With a Somber Message About the Situation - The Last Refuge

"The war inside Ukraine will wage on for years as an insurgency against Vladimir Putin.  The western alliance will spend trillions if needed.  NATO will kill as many Ukrainians and mercenary units as needed in order to battle Vladimir Putin in a proxy war.   The industrial war machine will gleefully churn out the material needed for the DC based political war machine to purchase. ...

Where are the peacekeepers?  Where are the diplomatic voices, the ranks of the prudent and pragmatic political voices who focus on stopping the death?  Where are those voices?  Where is the faith-based voice asking for leaders to stop, breathe, meet and seek a solution without further war?

Those voices are silent because the western motive is to create a long-term insurgent war in Ukraine.  The geopolitical system views this as an existential battle against Russia.  Both sides in this conflict view this as a zero-sum contest.  The NATO alliance doesn’t view Volodymyr as a hero, he’s a tool.

If Zelenskyy were to walk toward a negotiated ceasefire, the bullet that kills him would come from the rear.  That’s how corrupt this conflict is.".......

Ukraine is a means, not an end.

Paradoxically, Endless War is the end.

We know from Lindsey Graham’s 2016 WarNow!-speech to Ukrainian troops that the Swamp had originally planned this war for Hillary’s Coronation in 2017. Trumpus Interruptus.

Sundance’s insight about the complete lack of diplomacy even now is indeed The Dog That Didn’t Bark in the Night-time. Any other conflict would already be at the UN or swathed in Summits and Peace Processes, etc.. THIS IS WASHINGTON’S WAR AND THEY WANT IT BADLY.

None of Zelensky’s actions make sense–until you ask:

“What would a pretend-patriot do if he was bought off by the Soros Syndicate to wreck his own country for someone else’s agenda instead of Ukraine’s?”

One of the unspoken reasons for all the turmoil is that even the world’s bad actors know, like us, that America’s elections and system of self-government were overthrown. The criminal Occupation Government here is no better than any other corrupt dictatorship and they know it. The City on a Hill is just another City in a Sewer.

What does “peace, peace, when there is no peace” mean in Jeremiah 8:11? | GotQuestions.org

"The phrase peace, peace, when there is no peace is found in Jeremiah 6:14 as well as Jeremiah 8:11. It is also found in Ezekiel 13:10 and 16. In all four places, it has the same meaning in the same historical context.

Jeremiah was like a doctor delivering bad news to his patient. His diagnosis was that, unless drastic measures were taken, the patient would die. However, the false prophets gave a “second opinion.” “Don’t listen to Jeremiah,” they said; “you are going to be just fine.” Instead of radical surgery and a drastic change of lifestyle, the priests and false prophets said a light bandage was all that was needed. The following passage is found in Jeremiah 6:13–14 and repeated exactly in Jeremiah 8:10b–11:

“From the least to the greatest,
all are greedy for gain;
prophets and priests alike,
all practice deceit.
They dress the wound of my people
as though it were not serious.
‘Peace, peace,’ they say,
when there is no peace.”

When the priests and false prophets said, “Peace, peace,” they were denying that judgment was on the way. They were giving the people false assurances. The explicit assumption is that Jerusalem and Judah had not committed grievous sins and that God was not displeased with them. In fact, according to the false prophets, God was quite happy with His people and wanted to bless them. They promised “peace, peace!” Unfortunately, their promised peace would not come. The book of Jeremiah bears this out, and, in the end, Jerusalem was destroyed by Babylon, just as God had said.".......

Today, the lies and greed remain thicker than ever, but our Soros Occupation Government and the One-Party Press scream "War! War!", wanting no part of any Peace, only wanting Putin overthrown and their own crooked mini-Me Junta installed in Russia.

"'Hunter Was Here'?"

"How Does It Feel to Be Vindicated?" by Dr. Robert Malone

How does it feel to be vindicated? (substack.com) by Dr. Robert Malone

Depressing and demoralizing. And I would do it again in a heartbeat.

"I have been getting the question “How does it feel to be vindicated?” 

Dr. Jill (Glasspool-Malone) keeps noodling me to write a piece describing my feelings on this topic.  Personally, I dislike focusing on the psychology of how these last two years have impacted on me (and us).  Much as I am very wary of the “cult of personality” aspect of my newfound fame.  I have not spoken out because I sought attention, I have done this because it was the right thing to do, and I seemed to have a unique window of opportunity to speak for those whose voices were so actively suppressed.  But I certainly have had to take hits for it.  The slander, defamation, gaslighting, and globally coordinated character assassination have been non-stop.  But as time has gone by, and more and more has been revealed about the hidden hands that seek to manage what we are allowed to hear, see, and think, I have been transformed. 

The biomedical world that I thought I was living in has been revealed to be a sham.  The legitimacy of the industry and discipline that I have committed my entire professional life to is in shambles.  I am now embarrassed to call myself a vaccines and biodefense expert, because the fundamental corruption inherent in those domains has been so clearly revealed. I cannot unsee what I have seen.  I cannot recapture all of those years spent in a profoundly corrupt academic system, spent supporting a deeply compromised discipline which appears primarily driven by financial interests rather than by what I had naively believed was a commitment to saving lives.  I chose to not pursue the careers of my father and father in law, which were spent building weapons of war.  Only to find that I had inadvertently played a significant role in enabling one of the most tragic medical follies in the history of man.

When first asked how it feels to be vindicated, I did not know what to say.  It feels a long, long way from vindication.  Those directly responsible are unlikely to face any form of reckoning.  And rather than remorse, they seem to find the whole thing amusing. The unnecessary lives lost, the destruction of faith in the public health enterprise, vaccines in general, the entire medical/hospital system, the US Department of Health and Human Services, and government in general.  Ha ha.  Oh well, not our fault.  Just the way things are.

I looked inwards, deep into my heart and soul, and asked the question.  How does it feel?  Demoralizing and depressing.  I experience absolutely no pleasure whatsoever in seeing my worst fears come to pass, and in having accurately predicted so many things during the last two years.  Jill and I have put everything on the line.  Parked our lives, our farm, our family, in a sustained effort to try to save lives and help average people understand what was going on, what the actual “Science” was, and to try to help people to think through the issues.  Going back to ground zero, to try to enable “informed consent” in a time where that fundamental bedrock of medical ethics was thrown into the dumpster.  We have experienced extraordinary efforts to delegitimize us, to re-write history, to deny us credit for intellectual and technical contributions, to slander and defame.  They have destroyed the consulting business that we had built up together over decades.  We have drained ourselves with the constant travel and stress of the speaking engagements.  A constant stream of podcasts (up to nine per day) as a way to break through the wall of globally coordinated censorship and propaganda.  I have been labeled a “right wing extremist” and “Nazi”. 

Here is a little story about Santa Barbara.  I left my job as a carpenter and attended Santa Barbara City College between 1980 and 1982, graduating with straight A’s as President of the Student Council. This was made possible in part by financial assistance from the Santa Barbara Foundation.  When invited to come speak by Stand Up SB in Santa Barbara regarding COVID, I suggested it would be nice to do a fundraiser for the Santa Barbara Foundation.  An opportunity to give back to the community and organization that had made my journey from carpenter and orchard farmhand to physician/scientist possible.  Upon being contacted, the foundation decided that they did not want to receive any support from a far-right wing person such as myself.  Et tu, Brute?  This is an example of the price that has had to be paid.

And we would do it again in a heartbeat.  Because it has been the right thing to do.  And we found ourselves in a position where we had a chance to make a difference.  We have made new friends all over the world.  I now have a very different worldview than I had two years ago.  I have no regrets.  But I take no pleasure in the thing.".......

Read it all.

"If I were working as an analyst for the Russian government, paid to perform and enable risk assessment, I would be skeptical that the US DoD/DTRA effort was limited to just collecting and archiving biological samples, and I would have to conclude that there is significant risk that these facilities were involved in (at a minimum) “dual purpose” research.  “Dual purpose” is a euphemism for “could be used to develop defensive capabilities or could be used to develop offensive capabilities”.

Clearly, whether in sincerity or for propaganda purposes (time will tell if they provide the documentation and receipts), the Russian government is stating that the activities of these laboratories included bioweapon research which was coordinated with US DoD/DTRA.

Prior to invasion of Ukraine, the government of Russia signaled that the presence of these DTRA-sponsored “biolabs” in this region was perceived as a threat to Russian national security and biosecurity.  Again, if I were a Russian analyst, I would likely conclude that these laboratories represent a threat to national security." 

Obiden, Inc.'s War on the Middle Class: The Pre-Meditated Ass-assination of the American Economy

Poverty--With a Purpose.

Quit calling him an idiot.

I mean, he is an idiot, but this isn't idiocy. It's evil. 

And stop giving him advice. It's pointless.

The American Economy is being killed on purpose by Biden, by which I mean Obama, by which I mean the cabal of Communists, Islamists and Globalists that own both of them.

But Why Murder our Money?

1.) China ordered him to. As China's installed Colonial Governor, he is simply obeying his employer.

2.) It enables the Great Reset. You must tear down the old to rebuild or "Reset".

3.) To enable the piracy of billions for predatory market manipulators like Soros and BlackRock.

And perhaps most of all, 

4.) It targets the greatest accomplishment of America: The Great American Middle Class.

The Middle Class is a bulwark against tyranny. It brooks no wild-eyed schemers. It builds families. It builds businesses. It builds churches. It builds communities of free men and women who think for themselves. It has power independent of government, with its' own competing agenda. 

Budding totalitarians therefore hate it.

And the Great American Middle Class reelected Actual President Trump in a massive landslide.

That alone is reason enough for the attempt to crush it.

The Power That Be want us neutered, controlled, subservient or dead, and they don't seem to be too picky about which. The only limiting principle seems to be what they think they can get away with without sparking The Uprising.

They have completely abandoned the Constitutional basis by which we settle our differences honestly and peacefully, leaving only a Dictatorship in Drag, marked by COVID in their contrails, War in their wake and Poverty in their path. 

We’ve got a job to do. It pays in the currency of Freedom.

"The Man Who Sold Ukraine" by Mike Whitney

#NotMyHero

“I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land."--Mark Twain

The Man Who Sold Ukraine by Mike Whitney - The Unz Review

"Volodymyr Zelensky is the current President of Ukraine. He was elected in a landslide victory in 2019 on the promise of easing tensions with Russia and resolving the crisis in the breakaway republics in east Ukraine. He has made no attempt to keep his word on either issue. Instead, he has greatly exacerbated Ukraine’s internal crisis while relentlessly provoking Russia. Zelensky has had numerous opportunities to smooth things over​ with Moscow and prevent the outbreak of hostilities. Instead, he has consistently made matters worse by blindly following Washington’s directives.

Most Americans fail to realize that Zelensky’s rejection of Minsk was the straw that broke the camel’s back. Russian officials had worked for 8 years on Minsk hammering out terms that would be agreeable to all parties. Then—at the eleventh hour—Zelensky put the kibosh on the deal with a wave of the hand. Why? Who told Zelensky to scrap the agreement? Washington?

Of course.

And why did Zelensky deploy 60,000 combat troops to the area just beyond the Line of Contact (in east Ukraine) where they could lob mortal shells into the towns and villages of the ethnic Russians who lived there?

Does Zelenskyy know that there are Right Sektor, neo-Nazis in the government, military and Security Services. Does he know that, while their numbers are small, they are a force to be reckoned with and factor heavily in the hatred and persecution of ethnic Russians? Does he know that these far-right elements participate in torchlight parades, imprint swastikas or SS tattoos on their arms, and revere the racialist ideology of Adolph Hitler? Does he realize that many these Nazis have engaged in criminal acts of brutality including the incinerating of 40 civilians at the Trade Union Building in Odessa in 2014? Does he think that the CIA’s covert programs to arm and train these right-wing militants builds confidence or does he think it reminds Moscow of a catastrophic war in which 27 million Russians were exterminated by Germany’s Wehrmacht?

Can you see how everything Zelensky has done, was done with the intention of provoking Russia?

All the talk of joining NATO, all the talk about building nukes, the steady buildup of lethal weaponry, the movement of troops to the east, the refusal to implement the Minsk Treaty and the rejection of Putin’s security demands. All of these were deliberate provocations. But, why? Why “bait the bear”; that’s the question?

Because Washington wants to lure Russia into a war so it can further demonize Putin, isolate Russia, launch a counterinsurgency operation against the Russian army, and impose harsh economic sanctions that will inflict maximum damage on the Russian economy. That’s Washington’s strategy in a nutshell, and Zelenskyy is helping Washington achieve its objectives. He’s allowing himself to be Washington’s tool. He is sacrificing his own country to advance the interests of the United States.

All of the main actors in this fiasco knew from the very beginning that Ukraine had no chance of defeating the Russian army. That was a foregone conclusion. So–what we want to know– is why Zelenskyy didn’t take steps to avoid the tragedy before it unfolded?

He knows what he’s doing, and he knows that it’s wrong; worse than wrong, it’s inexcusable. He’s sending men to die in a war he knows they can’t win; he’s inflicting incalculable suffering and injury on his own people for no reason at all; and –worst of all– he’s cleared the way for the dissolution of Ukraine itself, the country he was sworn to defend. That country is going to be broken into bits as part of a final settlement with Russia, and Zelenskyy will share a good part of the blame.

How does a man like this live with himself?".......

And now he's demanding that American servicemembers die in vain for his crooked little Soros Syndicate satrapy?

I don't think so, funny man. Patriots don't wreck their own countries for others, just as Biden is doing here.

He's no Churchill. Just another crooked bum on the Deep State payroll.

Orwell Or Else: "A Republic, If You Can Kiev It"

“Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes the revolution in order to establish the dictatorship. The object of persecution is persecution. The object of torture is torture. The object of power is power.”--George Orwell, "1984"

And the object of censorship is censorship:

Google Ministry of Information Announces Zero Tolerance Policy Against Any Information That Does Not Support NATO War Against Russia - The Last Refuge

"Comrade citizens, after success with the Ministry of Information controlling efforts surrounding the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic and public health vaccinations, The Division of Correct Thinking has announced they will also not tolerate any information against their war efforts in Ukraine.

All good global citizens will appreciate the Ministry’s effort to protect you from bad Russian influences.  Only the approved truth must remain visible to combat any Russian efforts to influence our thinking.   The only horrors approved for review must be approved by the compliance division within the Google Ministry of Information.

Comrade citizens, as our experience with COVID and the heroic vaccination program has shown us, the Ministry always looks out for our physical and mental health.  The inherent dangers of wrong thoughts could lead to misplaced sympathies, lack of necessary motivation and questions about the altruism within the Ministry for Peace.  Further guidance continues…."

Steyn: Leftists Are Openly Mocking Free Speech As A “Right-wing Fetish” – Summit News

Appearing on Tucker Carlson Tonight Wednesday, author and columnist Mark Steyn warned that we are at the stage where free speech is being mocked by the left as a “right-wing fetish”.

Steyn responded to a call in the New York Times for Joe Biden to appoint a “reality czar” to debunk “disinformation,” a notion that many pointed out conjures up the Ministry of Truth from Orwell’s 1984.

Steyn emphasized that the left “regard an ever-expanding range of topics as there being a correct view … whether it’s climate change or Islam or same-sex marriage or transgender participation in sports, there is a settled view and once we have settled it we need no longer need to debate.”

“The problem is there are an ever-expanding range of issues that are added to the list,” Steyn continued, adding  “in the United States, where disagreeing with the official state position on, for example, a new coronavirus that nobody heard of a year ago and nobody knows anything about — just disagreeing with officialdom now is forbidden.”

“That is why the weasel phrase ‘disinformation’ — what is the information you are dissing? It’s official information. Ministry of Information information,” Steyn added. Steyn further described “a malign alliance in Washington between big-tech and the state,” and noted “we are moving into a literally Orwellian world where phrases out of 1984, he uses the phrase ‘reality control’… The New York Times is in favour of establishing a Federal Agency of ‘reality control’.”

“These people are so unself-aware, and frankly so illiterate that they don’t even realise that these are tired ideas that they are lifting from ["1984"], a 70 year old indictment of the totalitarian state,” Steyn urged.

Our Garbage Elites planned this war for Hillary's Coronation in 2017. But for most of us, it's not even been a month and the issue of War and Peace is already being declared beyond discussion.

The longer I live and the younger I get, the more I realize that Orwell absolutely nailed it.

"Don't you see that the whole aim of Newspeak is to narrow the range of thought? In the end we shall make thought crime literally impossible, because there will be no words in which to express it."

Toward Minitrue | Power Line (powerlineblog.com)

“Omri Ceren: “One weird thing about our political moment is the lack of consensus about how all of this is screamingly batshit crazy.”

"Psaki justified the administration’s promotion of censorship by reference to the life and death issues involved. According to Psaki and her animatronic boss, Facebook is killing people with “misinformation.” That is a rationale that can be applied to speech on any significant political subject. It is astounding that the assembled professionals of the White House press corps have failed to seek out any limiting principle from Psaki or her animatronic boss. …

George Orwell imagined the Ministry of Truth — “Minitrue,” in Newspeak — to serve Big Brother in the dystopia of 1984. The Ministry of Truth protected the regime’s orthodoxies, even as they contradicted each other over time: “Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Oceania had always been at war with Eastasia.” I am not sure that even Orwell could have imagined the animatronic boss who is bringing us ever closer to Oceania.”…….

Dr. Orwell:

"Newspeak is the only language in the world whose vocabulary gets smaller every year."

"He was abusing Big Brother, he was denouncing the dictatorship of the Party, he was demanding the immediate conclusion of peace with Eurasia, he was advocating freedom of speech, freedom of the Press, freedom of assembly, freedom of thought, he was crying hysterically that the revolution had been betrayed - and all this in rapid polysyllabic speech which was a sort of parody of the habitual style of the orators of the Party, and even contained Newspeak words: more Newspeak words, indeed, than any Party member would normally use in real life."

"It was terribly dangerous to let your thoughts wander when you were in any public place or within range of a telescreen. The smallest thing could give you away. A nervous tic, an unconscious of anxiety, a habit of muttering to yourself anything that carried the suggestion of abnormality, of having something to hide. In any case, to wear an improper expression on your face (to look incredulous when a victory was announced, for example) was itself a punishable offense. There was even a word for it in Newspeak: facecrime, it was called."

"Oceanic society rests ultimately on the belief that Big Brother is omnipotent and that the Party is infallible. But since in reality Big Brother is not omnipotent and the party is not infallible, there is need for an unwearying, moment-to-moment flexibility in the treatment of facts. The keyword here is BLACKWHITE. Like so many Newspeak words, this word has two mutually contradictory meanings. Applied to an opponent, it means the habit of impudently claiming that black is white, in contradiction of the plain facts. Applied to a Party member, it means a loyal willingness to say that black is white when Party discipline demands this. But it means also the ability to BELIEVE that black is white, and more, to KNOW that black is white, and to forget that one has ever believed the contrary."

"To do anything that suggested a taste for solitude, even to go for a walk by yourself, was always slightly dangerous. There was a word for it in Newspeak: ownlife ..."

"The dark-haired girl behind Winston had begun crying out: 'Swine! Swine! Swine!', and suddenly she picked up a heavy Newspeak dictionary and flung it at the screen. Newspeak, doublethink, the mutability of the past."

"This aim was frankly admitted in the Newspeak word duckspeak, meaning "to quack like a duck." Like various other words in the B vocabulary, duckspeak was ambivalent in meaning."

"Winston worked in the RECORDS DEPARTMENT (a single branch of the Ministry of Truth) editing and writing for The Times. He dictated into a machine called a Speakwrite. Winston would receive articles or news-items which for one reason or another it was thought necessary to alter, or, in Newspeak, rectify. If, for example, the Ministry of Plenty forecast a surplus, and in reality the result was grossly less, Winston's job was to change previous versions so the old version would agree with the new one."

"In Newspeak there is no word for 'Science'. The empirical method of thought, on which all the scientific achievements of the past were founded, is opposed to the most fundamental principles of Ingsoc."

"It isn't only the synonyms; there are also the antonyms. After all, what justification is there for a word which is simply the opposite of some other word? A word contains its opposite in itself. Take "good", for instance. If you have a word like "good", what need is there for a word like "bad"? "Ungood" will do just as well - better, because it's an exact opposite, which the other is not. Or again, if you want a stronger version of "good", what sense is there in having a whole string of vague useless words like "excellent" and "splendid" and all the rest of them? "Plusgood" covers the meaning; or "doubleplusgood" if you want something stronger still. Of course we use those forms already, but in the final version of Newspeak there'll be nothing else. In the end the whole notion of goodness and badness will be covered by only six words - in reality, only one word. Don't you see the beauty of that, Winston? It was B.B.'s idea originally, of course,' he added as an afterthought."
