Carthago Delenda Est - 'Carthage must be destroyed' - was how Cato the Elder signed off senatorial speeches during his push for war between Rome and Carthage. In our time, American senators are demanding similarly 'total solutions' for Russia as a country in response to Vladimir Putin 'crossing the Rubicon' and invading Ukraine.

Effectively 'de-platformed' from the entire communications network of the West, Russia - and Russians - are being subject to a form of collective punishment that its architects pray will result in Putin's assassination. In the meantime, the Russian government says that its military intervention in Ukraine is going as planned, and will be completed.

What happens when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object? We're going to find out soon enough! In this NewsReal, Joe and Niall disperse the fog of disinformation cloaked around Russia's war in Ukraine, explain why Rome-Caesar comparisons are more apt than people realize, demonstrate conclusively that Ukrainian state civilian and military institutions have been taken over by actual Nazis, and forecast the potential non-linear effects on global trends.

Correction: Since airing, it has come to our attention that the video of Red Cross crates full of US$ (01:43:45) allegedly 'found by Chechen forces in Ukraine' are in fact crates of US$ smuggled into Libya in 2011.

The Untold History of Canada and its Relevance to the World Crisis by Matthew Ehret [Link]
*

"Although you might not be aware of this fact, but when looked at through the correct lens (ie: a lens which recognizes the existence of an anti-human conspiracy to subvert the renaissance and reduce humanity into cattle-like serfdom), the history of Canada actually takes us directly into the hidden history of the USA, Britain and much more. This week, I had the chance to elaborate upon this fascinating topic with a group of researchers associated with ‘Freedom International Livestream’, all of whom were hungry to get a better grasp at the British-directed fifth columns embedded across the Trans Atlantic and most importantly, how to understand the weaknesses implicit in this beast.

Matters of current events touching on Canada, the USA, China and the NATO war drive against Russia which began in earnest in 2014 are also treated at length."

' Advocacy Journalism is Propaganda Solutions Journalism is Propaganda ' by Robert W Malone MD, MS [Link]
"...Bill Gates Gave $319 Million to Major Media Outlets, Documents Reveal. The defender November, 2021.

'According to MintPress News, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation donated at least $319 million to fund media projects at hundreds of organizations including CNN, NBC, NPR, PBS and The Atlantic, raising questions about those news outlets’ ability to report objectively on Gates and his work.'

It is important to realize that biases and opinions have always been a part of journalism. Generally, we previously called these pieces “editorials”. When editorials are grouped together, they used to form the “opinion page.” An antiquated term, I know. Of course, we all know that some newspapers are “liberal” and some “republican.” Of course biases do creep into reporting and in fact, every newspaper’s reputation is built on those biases.

But this is different. This is allowing a non-profit governmental organization (at best), a corporation or government (at worst) to control the content of a newspaper or magazine through secret hand-shakes, grants and contracts. It is allowing psy-ops operations a front row seat into influencing the minds of the reader. This is a whole other ball-game, and it needs to stop or at the very least, be called out and recognized for what it is: corporate and state-sponsored propaganda.

Advocacy journalists can and are influenced by governmental policies. For instance, the NY Times recently described a new hire as “joining The New York Times as a technology reporter covering disinformation and all of its tentacles.” The pejorative use of the word “tentacles” pretty much shows what biases the new reporter is expected to have. The implication being that information not disseminated by the US government is disinformation, whether the topic be on climate change, diversity, elections, physician’s right to try or infectious disease. BTW: Any one else notice how the disinformation list keeps growing longer?..."

Here's the freaking evidence that the United States is helping Russia succeed in whatever Putin is doing:

1. We're buying and paying for via SWIFT Russian oil right this very second in spite of all the mainstream news about kicking Russia off SWIFT. 20 percent of Russian banks are still on SWIFT. [Link]
2. Germany and France are buying and paying for Russian oil and natty gas via SWIFT.

3. Last Wednesday, Russia began negotiating with Iran FOR 'Brandon' regarding the Iran/USA nuke deal.

4. Russia could have been stopped cold, in ONE day had the world actually stopped buying Russian oil and actually suspended ALL Russian SWIFT accounts. We didn't, still haven't and won't.

Watch the Mike Maloney video made in 2016 about Ukraine. Watch "Why is Ukraine the West's Fault" by John Mearsheimer made in 2016.

Here are some common sense questions about Ukraine (and yeah, this is all about Ukraine and ALL the future Covidstan's and Ukraine's): Where's Covidstan? Not a peep about what was the most dangerous thing in the world a week and a half ago to, all clear two days later.

Wow. 55,000 pages of the Pfizer data was released yesterday. Why are there 1291 (that's one thousand two hundred ninety one) different severe adverse reactions to the jab, yet the jab is safe and effective?

Why are 9 out of 10 Covid deaths in England fully jabbed?

Why are there ZERO reported Covid deaths from fully jabbed in the United States but fully jabbed deaths make up way more than unjabbed deaths in EVERY other country in the world?

Why have you heard ZERO about these known adverse reactions?

Why have you heard ZERO about the Swedish study about how the mRNA is converted to DNA in the liver, completely proving the CDC liars?

Where's Fauci?

Where's Bix?

Why are life insurance payouts the highest in 2021 and getting higher than any other time in history by about thirty percent? Why are mortuary related stocks skyrocketing more than any other time in history? Funny how that is, no?

Last time i crossed the rubicon an elephant sat on me and wished I had had nuts at the ready (on the fly...), but I didn't and it was elephant shit the last thought happened in my mind metaphorically when I went up that elephant's ass.....when I came out after I got expunged I thought to myself - I will never ride a donkey again. Then I ran like hell away - laughing in a way inside, but full of joy.

Fuck elephants and donkeys is what I thought and then I went to find the love of my life because I was alive!

(ha, ha...ha?...ha..ha?...uh....nah)

The other day I was thinking about going to Rock Hill, but then I changed my mind. I think just like masks, I'm gonna boycott SC....why not. So lets see who is on the list of the entities I'm boycotting...

1. Israel and all companies associated with the apartheid state.

2. YouTube and Google both one and the same and nefarious obviously.

3. Billy Bad Ass, who compatriot Klaus and all the foolish young up and comers got indoctrinated.

4. Paypal.

5. Federal Express I'm thinking since they really won't deliver the package if you live in Russia.

6. Pretty much anything and all things having anything to do with Ukraine which is a great joke upon all humanity presently.

7. Did I say Israel yet - oh, let me say that again and let me include all bankers - big bankers are full of fiat.

8. As for Israel, I think there are lists already on how to boycott them and as for bankers my advice to any young up and coming country is - avoid the bankers at all costs.

9. Lastly, I boycott SC - especially the Senator from said whose name is Lindsey Graham.

I can't wait until this peacekeeping mission is over and I'm not boycotting that. I think it was a difficult decision, but I think the proper decision was made and I respect that.

Your Truly,

Ken

It's not as good an example of systemic racism as last week. She has a point, they're a bordering country with the same culture more or less.

I mean, I couldn't find something else to disagree with. Good show

Buffalo_Ken · 2022-03-06T22:06:20Z

I think it cannot be denied in history there have been Senators who made calls for this or that but after the fact it became evident that the Senators were not acting in the interest of their contingency, and who is the contingency of a Senator in the US of A I ask?

Who are the Senators serving? I'm sad to report that it is not the peasants and even sadder then that, neither is the US House serving the peasants....not even the Speaker of the House.

So what does that tell you - it tells me things are only fixing to get more foul until some issues are resolved and I don't know about you, but I know what side I am on.

Pretty soon those who call for the death of others will be forced to confront the hatefulness of their views. Pretty soon the Senator from South Carolina will get what he has wished upon another. Either that or he will resign. Sometimes it is simple, but sometimes simpletons from South Carolina full of hate have no clue and basically in history fools of this nature get the fate they deserve.

Lindsey Graham - please resign for your own sake.

I think it cannot be denied in history there have been Senators who made calls for this or that but after the fact it became evident that the Senators were not acting in the interest of their constituency...

Fixed it for you.

Nathan Carney · 2022-03-08T08:51:48Z

Really sick of Lidsey Graham to say that, but then it really fits the context of supportive meetings he had with Yarosh and neo-Nazis.

This show really exemplified, or showed, the gap between reality and unreality, between perception of propaganda, lies, and the truth, hard as it can be to face.

Striking dualism/contrast between the reporters being shot at and the graphic videos of fleeing Ukranian civilians being shot at by embedded neo-nazi terrorist ( one or two for every parade keeps the covid, no, gay pride at bay).

Good lord.

The power structure keeping Ukrainian people hostage is sick and twisted.

The graphic video of civilians fleeing Mariopul is one of the scariest things I've ever seen.

I do recommend looking it up (agree with not showing it though) because it is so powerful and really exposes the lies of the Western media.

Thank you again for brilliant show.

Proud of Roosiya (heart emoji)

The other parallel, I thought was really outstanding, well it's in the headline, is Linking Caesar to Putin.

It's just this context that needs to be understood in the times we're living in.

I believe we are sort of in the same boat up here in Canuckistan. We are being set up for an election and our "Saviour" will be Peter Poylever...
