"...Lieutenant Colonel Putin knew the Soviet Union was finished. As a bored young KGB agent in Dresden in 1989, he watched in disbelief as the Kremlin did nothing to suppress the popular protests that ultimately brought down the Berlin Wall. Two years later, the Soviet Union was dead. Gorbachev, he would later say, had succumbed to an unforgivable “paralysis of power.”
Over the next decade, a diminished Russia staggered through a series of geopolitical humiliations. The Chechens and foreign-backed jihadists bloodied the Russian army. The Kremlin fell in hock to oligarchs and Western banks. NATO expanded into the former Soviet bloc and then bombed Russia's old allies in Serbia. Even the once-vigorous and inspiring President Yeltsin himself became an international symbol of Russia's decline – a sad, drunken buffoon who was once so soused at a press conference with Bill Clinton that the US President had to fake a laughing fit to cover for him.
Ever since Putin came to power in 1999, his mission has been -- to coin a phrase -- to make Russia great again. At home, that meant crushing the independent sources of wealth, information, and power that had taken advantage of the Kremlin under Yeltsin. Abroad, it meant maneuvering Russia back into a position of influence and respect. In the eyes of Putin and his circle of ex-KGB hardliners, that really meant redressing the post-Cold War humiliations that Moscow had suffered at the hands of its old adversaries.
Never was this clearer than in 2014, when Putin officially announced the annexation of Crimea. Rattling off 20 years' worth of grievances about the treachery, hypocrisy, and overreach of Russia's western “partners,” he came to this: If you compress a spring to its limit, he said, it will snap back hard..." hmmm...sort of like gold?

"...Narcissistic and otherwise toxic behavior is epidemic in our society. And since that’s the case, for a narcissist integrating into it is not as hard as some may think or would like it to be. So it is kind of a cycle: the society is somewhat toxic, which produces some toxic people that can adapt to it, which makes it toxic, and so on.
On top of that, people with dark personality traits have developed certain tactics to function in our society. Some of those tactics are pretending, being a chameleon, mimicking, seeking social status and showing it off, appearing confident and faking self-esteem, trying to normalize their behavior, finding professional fields that fit their tendencies, and simply by hurting others.
In battling and overcoming this, first thing is noticing this behavior, and then identifying it for what it essentially is. It’s a pathology. It’s not okay. It’s not normal. It’s not “just how some people are.” It’s not acceptable."
8 Ways Narcissists, Sociopaths, and Toxic People Blend into Society
"In the narcissist's surrealistic world, even language is pathologized. It mutates into a weapon of self-defence, a verbal fortification, a medium without a message, replacing words with duplicitous and ambiguous vocables.
When narcissism fails as a defense mechanism, the narcissist develops paranoid narratives: self-directed confabulations which place him at the center of others' allegedly malign attention." -Sam Vaknin
“It is not love that should be depicted as blind, but self-love.” -Voltaire
"Financial predators are usually narcissistic and audacious criminals. They regularly have an extreme sense of entitlement coupled with high self-efficacy. Many of them have a charismatic quality and are preternaturally persuasive. Financial predators are commonly shameless and quite adept serial liars. They perceive themselves having near unlimited guile and resourcefulness to extricate themselves out of any compromising situations."
-Russ Alan Prince, Forbes

"...War is always a distraction from economic sabotage. Even though the seeds of financial crashes are often planted and watered well in advance by central banks, the banks never get the blame because international conflicts conveniently take center stage. By extension, economic crisis causes mass poverty, mass desperation, and mass hysteria, and globalists will say that these dangers require an international solution that they will happily provide in the form of centralization.
In the US and in many other western nations which have a large number of people still defending individual freedom, the globalists clearly want to use tensions with Russia as a means to silence public dissent over authoritarian policies. Already I am seeing numerous instances of establishment officials and leftists on social media suggesting that liberty activists are “pawns of the Russians” and that we are being used to “divide and conquer.” This is nonsense backed by nothing, but they are trying out the narrative anyway to see if it sticks.
I have no doubt that any rebellion in the US against the globalists will be blamed on foreign interference. As mentioned earlier, the last thing the elites want is movements of free people obstructing the Reset in the name of liberty. We witnessed this in Canada where Trudeau announced unilateral emergency powers against the trucker protests, giving himself totalitarian levels of control. Even the Russian government has intervened in such public actions to prevent any kind of activist momentum. Biden will try to do the same thing, and war, even a smaller regional war, gives him a rationale to oppress dissent in the name of public security.
Interestingly, martial law in the US is also much easier to legally and historically justify for the government as long as it is done in response to the invasion of a foreign enemy. The Russian influence narrative may very well be in preparation for martial law within America. Whether or not this actually succeeds is another matter.
The consequences of a shooting event in Ukraine will be far reaching well beyond a distraction for the American public; my intent here is not to suggest only Americans will be affected. My point is that there are certain places in the world that are naturally resistant to the globalist scheme, and freedom minded Americans are a primary obstacle. If there is a large scale rebellion against the Great Reset, it’s going to start here. The globalists know this as well, which is why the US will undoubtedly be centrally involved in the Ukraine quagmire.
While the event would be disastrous for Ukrainians and probably many Russians, there are deeper and more dangerous underlying threats intended for the US and a war in Ukraine acts as an effective scapegoat for many of them." -Brandon Smith here

Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice!
Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.
Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.

...Significant events in the 2000s created by fallacious Central Bank policies:
2000-2 Market collapse: Tech stocks down 80%
2006-8 Subprime banking crisis: Dow down 54%, massive money printing
2009-21 Stocks & asset markets exploding: Dow up 6X, Nasdaq up 16X
2006-20 Manipulation of rates: US 10yr treasury down from 5.4% to 0.5%
2000-23 US Debt explosion: Up 3.5X from $27t in 2000 to $95t in 2023
2000-23 Global debt explosion: Up 3X from $100t in 2000 to $300t in 2023
2020-23 Real inflation US EU: Up from 0% in 2020 to 10%+ in 2023
The extreme moves and volatility exemplified in the table above has nothing to do with free markets.
They are the manifest consequences of shameless manipulation of markets and market conditions by Central Banks. Such extreme moves could never happen if markets followed nature’s laws and the laws of supply and demand... |

  As readers know, I am concerned that Putin’s tolerance of a too-long-continuing-Ukraine-conflict is encouraging the conflict to spin-out-of-control. I have written about this risk neglected by the Kremlin many times. On February 27 I was interviewed by Finian Cunningham about this risk. If the interview is posted online, I will link to it hopefully before it is taken down by the narrative controllers.
There is no doubt that I have been proven correct that the provocations, accepted by the Kremlin with only words in opposition, have increased in severity over the past two years.
First the West would send to the Ukrainians helmets and sleeping bags. Then small arms ammunition. Then artillery. Tanks were mentioned, but Washington and NATO said, “never tanks.” Then tanks were sent. Then, after first being denied, drones and intermediate-range missiles. Then targeting information. Then mercenaries. Then after being denied, now long-range missiles and US F-16s capable of penetrating deep into Russia herself far from the battlefront are under consideration. And now the latest, the French President’s proposal to send NATO troops. “We will never send troops,” declares NATO’s Stoltenberg. But all the denials previously were breached and meant nothing.
So the question before us is: Has Putin reduced the threat of the conflict spinning out of control by fighting it on a low key basis limited to Donbass and the Russian areas, or has his low-key behavior convinced Washington’s neoconservatives that Putin is a paper tiger who will accept any provocation and any insult. If the latter, the provocations will increase in severity until the conflict spins out of control. Clearly from helmets to NATO troops is an immense escalation. Putin understands that the West intends Russia’s destruction, so why does he prolong conflicts that provide opportunities for the West to expand conflict? swentr.site/russia/593366-putin-western-intentions-russia/
The Kremlin and the Western media whores see the fundamental issue as Ukraine becoming a member of NATO. The neoconservatives who control US foreign policy seem to think that Putin will stand aside from this just as he did from being called by the President of the United States “the new Hitler” and “a son-of-a-bitch.” No American official of any rank ever spoke in public of Soviet leaders in such terms. On his way to Reykjavik, Iceland, for his meeting with Gorbachev, Reagan told his entourage that one word of rudeness to the Soviet officials and you were fired on the spot.
Reagan’s goal was to end the Cold War, and he did. It was the neoconservatives and the US military/security complex that restarted it.
As the deceased Steven Cohen and I emphasized, the threat of nuclear war today is much higher than during the Cold War. In those years, leaders on both sides worked to reduce tensions and to achieve mutual security that would reduce the danger of nuclear confrontation. I was part of the effort and perhaps I am one of a small handful of people still alive who know and lived the experience.
Once the Soviet Union collapsed when the Politburo placed Russian President Gorbachev under house arrest, the neoconservatives saw their chance at world hegemony and began their assault on Russia. All of the security-enhancing agreements worked out over the years of the Cold War were cancelled by Washington.
NATO’ Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg is Washington’s puppet. But he is not sufficiently stupid to knowingly start a war with Russia. Who can possibly imagine Europe, which is incapable of protecting its own borders from being over-run by unarmed immigrant-invaders, possibly fighting Russia. The war, if Putin could bring himself to fight it, would be over in a few minutes. swentr.site/russia/593382-putin-advanced-weapons-deployed/ But Stoltenberg, Washington, and Washington’s EU puppet states can start a deadly war by being ever so clever. Instead of making Ukraine a member of NATO, a red line that not even Putin can accept, the individual NATO countries are signing bilateral security agreements with Ukraine. Both Germany and the British have signed such agreements, and more EU territorial entities (towers of babel no longer nations) have such agreements in the works.
What his means is that NATO itself doesn’t send troops, but the individual members do. Why does this matter? It is still a war between Europe and England against Russia.
So again I ask my question: Why does Putin encourage worsening provocations? Why does he see Ukraine’s membership in NATO as a red line, a real one instead of Putin’s many-words-only red lines, and why does he think bilateral security agreements between European countries and Ukraine are any different from Ukraine’s membership in NATO?
It is Putin’s refusal to impose restraint on a weak and collapsing West that is leading to nuclear Armageddon. I am not writing because I want a Russian victory. I am writing because I do not want nuclear Armageddon. The West is unreasonable. Putin still thinks he can reason with the West. This is a mistake that is fatal for mankind. -Paul Craig Roberts How Realistic Is Putin?
