US climate envoy John Kerry has drawn widespread mockery for his speech to the World Economic Forum, in which he sought to portray the people gathered there as wise saviors of the world.

"When you start to think about it, it's pretty extraordinary that we - a select group of human beings, because of whatever touched us at some point in our lives - are able to sit in a room and come together and actually talk about saving the planet," Kerry told a WEF panel on Tuesday.

"I mean, it's so almost extraterrestrial to think about 'saving the planet.' If you say that to most people, most people think you're just a crazy, tree-hugging, lefty liberal, you know, do-gooder, or whatever, and there's no relationship. But really, that's where we are," he added.

Later in the speech, Kerry lamented that "allegedly wise adult human beings" ignored the science, mathematics and physics of climate change, and said he was certain the world will "get to a low-carbon, no-carbon economy" because "we have to."


Comment: Maybe something 'extraterrestrial' did come down and 'touch' Kerry at some point in his life to cause such a talentless and uninspired clown to think he should 'save the planet'?

Russia's top spy explains why Ukrainian crisis remains deadlocked

Kiev's Western "masters" are to blame, Sergey Naryshkin says...

Kiev is unable to engage in peace talks with Moscow because the US and its allies forbid it from doing so, Russian spy chief Sergey Naryshkin has said. "The overseas masters of the Ukrainian regime won't allow getting [the Ukrainian] dossier off the ground."

He brought up the negotiations that took place between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in late March, when "certain basic agreements were reached."
"However, those in Washington, those in London, told their associates in Kiev: 'No, [there should be] no peace talks, no peace. We've already paid you several dozen billion. We've invested in you; we'll continue to pump money and weapons, and your task is simple - go and fight.'"
The Ukrainian government then quickly backtracked on all the promises it had made in Istanbul, with the sudden change of mood occurring shortly after then-UK prime minister Boris Johnson visited Kiev.

Comment: Could there have been a resolution long ago? Perhaps, if Zelensky had refused his assigned role.

CIA chief Bill Burns reportedly made a secret visit to Ukraine in January 2022, a month before Russia's offensive against Kiev started, and told President Vladimir Zelensky that Moscow was plotting to assassinate him.

The clandestine meeting between Burns and Zelensky came to light in a soon-to-be-released book by author Chris Whipple on Joe Biden's presidency, Business Insider reported on Monday. The trip came at a time when the Ukrainian president was publicly dismissive of US claims that Russia was poised to attack Kiev and was arguing that the warnings were creating "panic."

"Burns had come to give him a reality check," Whipple wrote in his book, The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House. Biden had instructed the US spy chief to "share precise details of the Russian plots."

'Doctor Doom' predicts world is headed for stagflation

Inflation and recession will be the constant companions of the global economy for years to come...

The period of relative calm in the global economy has ended and what lies ahead is an era of stagflation, meaning a time of slow growth coinciding with higher unemployment and rising inflation, renowned economist and New York University professor Nouriel Roubini said on Friday.

According to Roubini, who was among the first to predict the 2008 financial crisis, today's situation may be even worse given the host of risks and "mega-threats" the world is facing.

In an interview with the French news outlet Le Monde, he said:
"In the short term, there are [risks] related to the war in Ukraine, of course, to inflation and to the specter of a financial crisis which could arise in the next few months or in the next two or three years. Added to this are mega-threats likely to materialize more or less severely in the long term... starting with climate change... geopolitical tensions which could degenerate into nuclear war between great powers, and socio-political instability."

NATO tanks 'will burn' - Kremlin

Kiev's foreign backers who have vowed to supply tanks and other heavy weapons to Ukraine don't care about Ukrainian lives and are motivated by their desire to hurt Russia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.

Promises made by Poland and the UK to provide main battle tanks to Kiev indicate that they want the conflict in Ukraine to spiral further, the Russian official told journalists on Monday. However, those weapons will not change the outcome of the conflict, he added.

Russia has a negative attitude to the planned shipments and considers them further proof that
"The nations supplying them are using [Ukraine] as an instrument in achieving their anti-Russian goals. Those tanks can burn and they will burn like the rest [of the weapons]."
NATO and a number of individual member states have pledged to provide heavier weapons to Ukraine. The British government has vowed to deliver 14 Challenger 2 main battle tanks, while the US, France, and Germany have committed to sending infantry fighting vehicles.

Ukraine's interior minister among 17 killed as helicopter crashes near kindergarten

Ukraine's interior minister died Wednesday in a helicopter crash near the capital that killed more than a dozen other people, including children, authorities said.

Interior Minister Denys Monastyrskyi, who oversaw Ukraine's police and emergency services, is the most senior official to die since Russia invaded nearly 11 months ago. His death, along with two others from his ministry, was the second calamity in four days for Ukraine, after a Russian missile strike on an apartment building killed dozens of civilians.


Comment: Ukraine's own minister admitted Russia's missile strike was headed to a power installation - the original target - but that on being shot down by Kiev it landed on an apartment building.


There was no immediate word on whether the morning crash, near a kindergarten and reportedly in heavy fog, was an accident or related to the war, but Ukrainian authorities immediately opened an investigation. No fighting has been reported recently in the Kyiv area.

Duplicitous EU bureaucrats demand war crimes tribunal

Nazis and Baerbock

German Foreign Minister Anna Baerbock is nursing a fantasy. She believes one day Vladimir Putin will be hauled into The Hague and tried for war crimes. Her dream is to punish Putin for fumigating Nazis in Ukraine.

But there is a problem. Russia and Ukraine are not parties to the Rome statute that established the International Criminal Court (ICC), thus the court does not have jurisdiction in those two countries. Ukraine tried to circumvent this by accepting ICC jurisdiction.

Russia removed itself from the ICC after the court declared the referendum-backed liberation of Crimea to be an occupation. The peninsula, for centuries part of Russia, was rife with Nazi psychopaths determined to find and kill ethnic Russians.

In Odesa along the coast of the Black Sea, Stepan Bandera worshippers burned people alive and beat others to death with metal pipes for the crime of their heritage and language spoken. No investigation or prosecution of the perpetrators followed.

Anna Baerbock would like to see this barbarism and sadistic mistreatment of largely defenseless civilians continue. She proposed a "new format" for the court, that is she would have the ICC set up a court in Ukraine and "derive its jurisdiction from Ukrainian criminal law."

In short, the ICC would be working with ultranats and Nazis. Baerbock apparently does not see a contradiction.

"That would be different to tribunals under international law, such as those for the 1990s wars in the former Yugoslavia," the AFP notes. "And while tribunals for Cambodia and Kosovo have used local laws, they were not able to try aggression between one state and another."

Baerbock's proposal is likely to hit a brick wall. The other option is to take the case to the United Nations, but that is also a dead end. Russia, as a permanent member of the Security Council, will undoubtedly veto any such move.

'Fragmented world' sleepwalks into World War III

The self-appointed Davos "elites" are afraid. So afraid. At this week's World Economic Forum meetings, mastermind Klaus Schwab - displaying his trademark Bond villain act - carped over and over again about a categorical imperative: we need "Cooperation in a Fragmented World".

While his diagnosis of "the most critical fragmentation" the world is now mired in is predictably somber, Herr Schwab maintains that "the spirit of Davos is positive" and in the end we may all live happily in a "green sustainable economy."

What Davos has been good at this week is showering public opinion with new mantras. There's "The New System" which, considering the abject failure of the much ballyhooed Great Reset, now looks like a matter of hastily updating the current - rattled - operating system.

Davos needs new hardware, new programming skills, even a new virus. Yet for the moment all that's available is a "polycrisis": or, in Davos speak, a "cluster of related global risks with compounding effects."

In plain English: a perfect storm.

Insufferable bores from that Divide and Rule island in northern Europe have just found out that "geopolitics", alas, never really entered the tawdry "end of history" tunnel: much to their amazement it's now centered - again - across the Heartland, as it's been for most of recorded history.

They complain about "threatening" geopolitics, which is code for Russia-China, with Iran attached.

But the icing on the Alpine cake is arrogance/stupidity actually giving away the game: the City of London and its vassals are livid because the "world Davos made" is fast collapsing.

Davos did not "make" any world apart from its own simulacrum.

Technocratic dystopia is impossible

Surveillance Camera
In the coming technocratic dystopia, life will be grim for most of us. For those who survive the preliminary depopulation, a technological control grid run by AI and robots will keep tabs on our every movement. You notice that your pantry cube is running a bit low on freeze-dried bug burgers, fake meat, and cockroach milk.

You time your break to fall outside of your three daily hours of wind-powered internet. Forbidden by the World Economic Forum from owning your own car, you flag down a quick ride share from your leased living quarters in a stacked shipping container on the near side of your 15-minute city. After dropping off the seven other people in your ride share, you arrive at the fake meat distribution point, where you wait in a long queue, hoping to trade in a few of your remaining carbon ration credits for more provisions.

You worry that your transaction might be rejected by the central bank digital currency network. After all, there was that one moment where your wrinkled brow showed slight unhappiness. You wonder if the facial recognition AI picked it up during one of your masked Zoom calls.

But for the elites, things will be better than ever. Private jets, cars, ultra wagyu beef tenderloin (for their dogs), and large estates. Life-extension drugs will make them nearly immortal. They will vacation at 5-star hotels, a short limo trip from the Louvre, but without the crowds.

Comment: The Technocratic dystopia of the psychopathic elite is just their wishful thinking, a dream.
It will never succeed, but it will bring an economic disaster to our civilization. They behave like a parasite ready to kill their host even if in the end they will be destroyed with the host.

Flashback Former war crimes prosecutor alleges Kosovan army harvested organs from Serb prisoners

Carla Del Ponte, the ex-chief prosecutor for war crimes in former Yugoslavia, has unleashed a storm of recrimination with allegations of a trade in human body parts in Kosovo and Albania after Nato bombed Serbia in 1999.

Del Ponte claims, based on what she describes as credible reports and witnesses, that Kosovan Albanian guerrillas transported hundreds of Serbian prisoners into northern Albania where they were killed, and their organs "harvested" and trafficked out of Tirana airport.

The Kosovan government, now headed by the former guerrilla leader Hashim Thaci, dismisses the claims as untrue, while Serbia and Russia are demanding a war crimes investigation into the allegations. Del Ponte, now a Swiss ambassador, has been ordered to keep silent by the Swiss government.

The allegations are aired in Del Ponte's just published memoirs of her eight years as chief prosecutor for the international war crimes tribunal for former Yugoslavia, based in The Hague.

The Hunt: Me and War Criminals, which is published in Italian and was launched last week, has triggered controversy and added to the tensions between Kosovo and Serbia two months after the Albanian-majority province declared independence from Serbia.

Comment: We can only imagine what's going on in Ukraine today, where organ-harvesting rings have been a thing for at least the past decade, in the context of a war that is vastly larger in scale than the NATO-Serbia one in 1999.
