Moscow has previously warned that its disconnection from the SWIFT financial service would be felt across Europe

Should the West follow through on its threats to shut Russia off from the SWIFT financial transaction system, Ukraine would soon also feel the sting and be left in a difficult position, Kiev's former economy minister has cautioned.

Speaking as part of an appearance on Ukraine's Channel 4 on Thursday, Viktor Suslov, who served in the government from 1997-1998, set out how disconnecting Moscow from the global payment service would impact its neighbor.

"If we transport gas and Russia cannot pay for it, will Ukraine transit for free? Of course not," he explained. According to the politician, support from the International Monetary Fund would not save Kiev, because cash alone cannot replace gas or nuclear fuel.

Comment: Ukraine isn't the only country concerned about U.S. intentions:

German minister warns of 'system collapse' if Russia blocked from SWIFT, EU switch to Chinese payment system would cause 'serious damage'

Is Russia worried? Nyet.

Best of the Web: Blinken's booby traps: US Madrid propaganda paper pushes war with Russia while claiming the opposite

blinken trap russia war
© Dances with BearsBlinken baits the Russians into war
A soldier who lays a booby trap for his adversary thinks him fool enough to be tricked or lured to his own death. He thinks his enemy is inferior and deserves death. He hates him.

The German expression for war planned and executed like this is rassenkampf, race war. The German generals who planned and executed the 1941 invasion of Russia, Operation Barbarossa, claimed they didn't hate the Russians. Their war was krieg ohne hass, war without hate. They said that after their surrender or capture, when they were facing war crimes trials.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken (lead image, centre) hates Russians; thinks them inferior to Americans; fools compared to himself; deserving of the fate Blinken intends for them. The evidence is in the booby traps Blinken set in the document the State Department arranged to leak in a Spanish newspaper last week. It is called "NON-PAPER CONFIDENTIAL/REL RUSSIA Areas of Engagement to Improve Security".

Comment: Putin has surrounded himslef with intelligent, cool-headed advisors. While the U.S. response to Russia's proposal is insulting in the extreme, Russia (along with China) is playing a long game. Rather than being baited into a misstep, Moscow's patience and ongoing efforts at dialogue may cause the Empire to stumble instead. Only time will tell.

That's rich! False-flag experts US and Britain accuse Russia

Pentagon

The Pentagon has accused Russia of planning a false-flag provocation in order to provide a pretext for invading Ukraine. The Pentagon said such a ploy was "right out of their playbook".

By "their", it was meant to mean "Russian". But in an amusing way, the double entendre actually conveys "American", that is, "our playbook".
Because let's face it, and history proves it, nobody does false flags like the United States when it comes to creating pretexts for criminal aggression.
To select just a few short examples out of a long, sordid history, we can point to the sinking of the USS Maine in Havana harbor in 1898 to launch the Spanish-American war; the Gulf of Tonkin incident in 1964 which was used to justify ramping up the US war against Vietnam; and the deception over alleged weapons of mass destruction that enabled the Anglo-American genocidal destruction of Iraq beginning in 2003.

The pairing of the Americans and British in psy-ops is the "dream team" for the black arts of deception. When a State Department spokesman got flustered over the claims about Russia and Ukraine this week, he let it slip that British intelligence was also involved with the Americans in formulating the accusations.

Comment: The thing about broadcasting a false flag alert: When you actually accomplish it, your forewarnings are always 'right'.

Update: More state attorneys general are now conducting investigations into GoFundMe for "deceptive practices."

State attorney generals are now investigating crowd-sourcing platform GoFundMe for alleged fraud for claiming the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraisers had violated its Terms of Service.

On Friday, a full day after freezing the Freedom Convoy 2022 account, it took the unprecedented act of seizing its ten million dollars in funds to redistribute to "credible charities."

GoFundMe put the following statement on the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraising page:
  • GoFundMe supports peaceful protests and we believe that was the intention of the Freedom Convoy 2022 fundraiser when it was first created.
  • We now have evidence from law enforcement that the previously peaceful demonstration has become an occupation, with police reports of violence and other unlawful activity.
"To ensure GoFundMe remains a trusted platform, we work with local authorities to ensure we have a detailed, factual understanding of events taking place on the ground. Following a review of relevant facts and multiple discussions with local law enforcement and city officials, this fundraiser is now in violation of our Terms of Service (Term 8, which prohibits the promotion of violence and harassment) and has been removed from the platform."

Comment: Defunding, seizure and redirection is a top-down robbery scheme. Word has it GoFundMe has since reconsidered its monetary response to the public regarding the Freedom Convoy refund fees.

Prosecutors sought call, email records of Bannon attorney, defense team claims

Prosecutors appear to have obtained court orders to access phone and email records of a prominent attorney for Steve Bannon, who is fighting criminal charges for defying a subpoena from the Jan. 6 select committee.

In a court filing Friday, Bannon's legal team revealed that last month, prosecutors provided more than 790 documents that "reflected efforts by the Government to obtain telephone records and email records from the personal and professional accounts of defense counsel, Robert J. Costello."

Costello, one of Bannon's three criminal defense attorneys, also represented Bannon during his negotiations with the Jan. 6 select committee. Bannon has claimed that he acted on his attorney's advice when he refused to respond to the subpoena for his testimony and documents.

Potential pandemic bird flu modified to be more dangerous in new risky NIH research

The US National Institutes of Health (NIH) has continued funding risky gain-of-function research (GoF) on potential pandemic pathogens, newly disclosed information reveals. The US government medical research agency has funded scientists to study avian influenza (bird flu) which does not transmit among humans. However, the NIH projects aim to make avian influenza viruses able to transmit among mammals and assess their pandemic potential as a possible threat to humans.

Gain-of-function (GOF) studies improve the ability of a pathogen to cause disease by increasing its virulence and transmissibility. These dangerous experiments have not been terminated even though COVID-19 has been suspected to be the result of such NIH-funded GoF research in the Wuhan Institute of Virology.

Instead of terminating all GoF research since the pandemic started NIH and its sub agency - the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID), have continued their financial support for the following GoF studies: Transmissibility of Avian Influenza Viruses in Mammals (NIAID support ended in August 2021); Centers of Excellence for Influenza Research and Surveillance (CEIRS) (NIAID support ended in March 2021). The third one: Mimicking evolution to define mechanisms of airborne transmission of H7N9 viruses, started on 2nd September 2021 and is ongoing.

Comment: This potentially disastrous new virus kills two birds with one stone: It creates a new fear with which to possibly "justify" new vaccines, mandates and other policies, and it affects the world's already, deeply strained, food supply. And, oh boy, has the spread of bird flu already made the news quite a lot lately:

DC Mayor's Office Official: It's a 'necessary evil' to allow 'Darwinism' to kill off 'foolish' unvaccinated

Elliot Tommingo, director of the Washington, DC Mayor's Office of Veterans Affairs, said it is a "necessary evil" to allow 'Darwinism to kill off" unvaccinated Americans, blaming them for the city's coercive mandates, deeming them "foolish," and accusing them of eating horse dewormer and "their own piss."

Breitbart News on Thursday obtained screenshots from one of Tommingo's conversations on a Facebook post. The commenter, Jonathan Lubecky, who on Twitter describes himself as a "Nonpartisan Political Consultant," remarked that he "may go to anywhere that doesn't have the stupid mandates DC has." Currently, Mayor Muriel Bowser's (D) D.C. requires businesses to discriminate against unvaccinated individuals, forcing indoor venues such as restaurants, gyms, bars, theaters, night clubs, food halls, auditoriums, libraries, museums, and more to turn away guests ages 12 and older who cannot provide proof of vaccination. That policy went into effect January 15. Further, last week, Bowser decided to extend the city's mask mandate — which applies to vaccinated individuals as well — another month.

Tommingo, an official for the D.C. mayor's office, provided a harsh response, demeaning unvaccinated people by touting a series of fake narratives and essentially asserting that unvaccinated individuals are "foolish" and ultimately allowing Darwinism to take course.

"I'll join you in Cabo man. But I tell ya. If people stopped listening to celebrities, took the vaccine, didn't eat horse dewormer and/or their own piss...we could lift those mandates soon," he claimed.

"However, allowing Darwinism to kill off those too foolish to protect themselves is a necessary evil," Tommingo added.

"That's an interesting take given the vaccine stats in DC," Lubecky responded. "But to be clear, you support 48% of black citizens of DC dying due to 'Darwinism' and 'being too foolish' 'drinking piss' and 'eating horse dewormer.'"

Putting the 'Jewish Conspiracy' into perspective

trump rally Texas
© Miami StandardFormer President Trump rallies gigantic crowd to his recent Texas rally
I recently had the chance to watch the footage from Donald Trump's January 29 Conroe Texas rally and while there were many typically idiotic statements made by the former president, the event was impressive to say the least. At least 50,000 people conglomerated to the event and several state official endorsed Trump's re-election for 2024.

If you have been following my Substacks during the past year, you are probably aware that I believe the USA to have suffered a major coup d'etat that has put a very evil force into the position of the executive branch in preparation for a Great Reset of civilization.

The question that remains unanswered for many people is: WHO or WHAT is that force that ran a regime change in the USA in 2020 and is shaping the Great Reset?

In trying to answer this question, I've noticed a lazy tendency by many people to blame all the world's problems, including the Great Reset, Covid-19, the 2020 coup, the economic meltdown and WWIII danger on "the Jews".

Best of the Web: Is humanity ready to leave the liberal Borg cube?

For over two years now, populations across the Western world have been bombarded with public messaging incantations that boil down to one basic formula: Freedom = Compliance. However, the formula appears to have lost its magic.

Despite the aggressive use of Neuro Linguistic Programming and Behavioral Nudging to "reframe" the government's pandemic response as an effort to save humanity from a deadly virus with a 99% survival rate, the world has seen just how badly the self-styled Western "elite" can miscalculate, and overestimate its own intelligence. Contrary to the typical conspiracy theory script where everything goes just as planned, the establishment's historic miscalculation is no exception, but rather the rule. Oligarchies by their hubristic and prideful nature have always been prone to miscalculation. The demise of every empire across history serves as a constant reminder.

In reality, the Western elite's uncreative cynical outlook on average working-class people and their outright disdain for hard-working citizens has caused them to underestimate the natural creative impulses of people in a time of crisis. So, we see the Canadian "Freedom Convoy" phenomenon burning right through all the hard work and diligent behavior modification programs imposed by Western governments over decades of deception.

Biden escalating Ukraine tensions says US senator

Worsening ties between Russia and Ukraine are down to the "occupant of the Oval Office," Ted Cruz has claimed.

Senator Ted Cruz has accused US President Joe Biden of being the real reason for the escalation of tensions between the West and Russia, arguing that his leadership has helped worsen the situation across the shared border with Ukraine.

Speaking in the Senate on Thursday, Cruz hinted that the high levels of tension around Eastern Europe are due to the new "occupant of the Oval Office," and questioned why there was no threat of a Russian invasion in the years prior.

"Why didn't it happen in 2018, 2019, or 2020? What changed?" he asked, implying that Biden's presidency is the catalyst that sparked the rise in tensions seen in recent months.

Senator Cruz went on to accuse Biden of showing "weakness and appeasement almost immediately after he put his hand on the Bible," arguing the President has been underperforming since his inauguration in January last year.


Comment: Considering Biden family wheeler-dealer activities in Ukraine for a decade+ and the deadly 2014 US Maidan atrocity on Obama's watch, Cruz may have a point. The Biden name does not garner trust.
