Western media has dismissed evidence of neo-Nazi influence in Ukraine by citing President Zelensky's Jewish heritage. But new footage published by Zelensky shows the leader openly collaborating with a fascist ideologue who once pledged to "lead the white races of the world in a final crusade...against Semite-led Untermenschen."

Ukrainian President Vlodymyr Zelensky has uploaded a video to his Telegram channel showing him holding court with one of the most notorious neo-Nazis in modern Ukrainian history: Azov Battalion founder Andriy Biletsky.

On August 14, just over an hour after Secretary of State Anthony Blinken announced another $200 million in military aid to Kiev, Ukrainian President Vlodomyr Zelensky published the video depicting what he called an "open conversation" with Ukraine's 3rd Separate Assault Brigade.

"I am grateful to everyone who defends our country and people, who brings our victory closer," Zelensky wrote, following his encounter with the unit on the outskirts of Bakhmut.

While casual Western observers might not have realized it, the brigade Zelensky was addressing is actually the newest iteration of Ukraine's neo-Nazi Azov Battalion.

"The 3rd separate assault brigade, excellent fighters," Zelensky wrote days after the consultation, in a Twitter post which also alluded to a separate meeting with the Aidar Battalion, another neo-fascist outfit that has been accused of war crimes by Amnesty International. "They have stopped the enemy from advancing towards Kostiantynivka and pushed the occupiers back up to 8 kilometers."

Comment: The video is a short window on how Zelensky handles confrontation via Biletsky interaction.

US role in Pakistan chaos is obvious and logical

It makes sense for Washington to meddle in the region's affairs, so it can play Islamabad and New Delhi against each other...

A recently leaked secret diplomatic cable revealed that the United States had pressed Pakistani diplomats to seek the removal of Prime Minister Imran Khan in 2022. Khan, who was ousted from office later that year, was not a supporter of the US or its geopolitical agenda, and had sought closer ties with both China and Russia.

Ejected from the leadership, Khan was quickly arrested and then banned from participating in politics. Then, within the same week, Pakistan signed a new defence agreement with the US, affirming age-old ties between Washington and the Pakistani military elite, who have long formed the backbone of the state.

This is no conspiracy theory, it's very easy to see what has gone on here. The US has engaged in a subtle regime change operation in Pakistan; an unusual choice given its simultaneous pursuit of stronger ties with India. This shows the ambitions of the US to play the two countries against each other and assert its own military domination over the South Asian region, using India as a pawn in its struggle against China, while simultaneously blocking the strategic rise of India by using Pakistan as a counterweight to it.

Comment: Pattern recognition is a great illusion buster. The challenge is to interpret its use.

The headline of a recent LifeSiteNews article declared that the "German Government funds several Gates Foundation projects to the tune of 3.8 million euros". This is a somewhat curious revelation, but not surprisingly, given the relatively paltry sum, it did not inspire more than a flurry of interest on social media. In fact, the actual total cited in the German source for the article is not €3.8 million, but €3.8 billion.

Furthermore, although the correct sum is far more imposing, it needs to be stressed that the funding in question is not in fact funding of Gates Foundation projects or programmes per se, but rather German co-funding of projects or programmes in which the Gates Foundation is also involved. The confusion is still apparent in the tweet below:

Comment: Financial bedfellows? To be expected, given the global agenda in motion. Obviously, The Gates Foundation does not need contributors.

Russia has ramped up attacks on airbases used by Kiev to launch long-range missile attacks, forcing Ukrainian personnel and aircraft to constantly be on the move to avoid being struck, the Financial Times reported on Thursday, citing sources.

Ukrainian officials told the paper that Kiev and its backers believe that Moscow's recent attacks on airbases and pilot training facilities in western Ukraine are aimed at decimating its fleet of bombers used to fire British Storm Shadow and French Scalp missiles.

Ukraine is "racing to move around crucial weaponry and its skilled personnel" across dozens of airbases and commercial airports, the report said.

Top NATO official apologizes for 'peace proposal' whereby Ukraine trades territory for membership

Stian Jenssen, the chief of staff to NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg, said on Wednesday that his peace proposal for Ukraine was a "mistake," after it drew condemnations from Kiev.

Jenssen told a forum in Arendal, Norway on Tuesday, that a solution to the conflict "could be for Ukraine to give up territory, and get NATO membership in return," given that the bloc has been unwilling to admit Kiev while hostilities with Russia are ongoing.

"My statement about this was part of a larger discussion about possible future scenarios in Ukraine, and I shouldn't have said it that way. It was a mistake," Jenssen told the Norwegian outlet Verdens Gang (VG).

Comment: With a total death count of more than 280,000 troops, in addition to those injured and taken off of the battlefield, the concerns that Ukraine's efforts could collapse anytime soon is probably one of the most accurate and honest statements to come from a NATO official yet.

The 'solution' that Jessen proposed further reveals that NATO is scrambling for ideas on how to keep the West's proxy war going, because, clearly, Ukraine is running out of troops, as well as weaponry: 'More than 280,000 dead': Estimate of Ukraine's military losses calculated using published obituaries

Rep. James Comer sends letter to National Archives demanding unredacted emails about Ukraine, Burisma

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer sent a letter Thursday to the National Archives requesting unredacted emails to or from then-Vice President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden related to Ukraine and Burisma.

The committee is seeking unrestricted special access to a case record by the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), titled, "Email Messages To and/or From Vice President Biden and Hunter Biden." The record was first made public in June and included four emails, but two of the emails were withheld in full, and the other two had multiple redactions.

According to NARA, the two email messages that were released, dated May 27, 2016, and June 15, 2016, were from then-Biden aide John Flynn to Biden, with Hunter Biden as a carbon copied recipient, and they included an attached copy of Biden's daily schedule listing planned interactions with Ukrainian government officials.

Atlanta prosecutor Fani Willis proposed March 4, 2024 as the trial's commencement date

A former top lawman at the Department of Justice called the Atlanta prosecutor's proposed commencement trial date for former President Donald Trump an example of how the proceedings against him are politically designed to upend his surging candidacy.

Former Acting Attorney General Matthew Whitaker keyed into Fulton County, Ga., District Attorney Fani Willis' announcement of a proposed date of March 4, 2024 to begin proceedings against the former president over election-related allegations - which would fall one day before the crucial Super Tuesday contests.

The dates however will not become official until and unless signed-off by a judge.

"They've now scheduled this first trial on the day before Super Tuesday - whe[n] 15 states plus American Samoa are going to go vote," Whitaker said on Hannity.

Best of the Web: Russia says US is PLOTTING to create 'new pandemic' using virus mutations as bioweapon, poses 'global threat'

FILE PHOTO: US military-biological activity poses ‘security threat to many states of the world,’ says head of radiation, chemical, biological protection troops
Russia on Wednesday claimed the US has begun preparations for a "new pandemic" by searching for virus mutations through the newly-established Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy (OPPR).

"Despite the fact that the stated goals of US programs are to monitor disease incidence and provide assistance to developing countries ... we see the Pentagon conducting uncontrolled dual-use research in circumvention of international obligations," Igor Kirillov, the head of Russia's radiation, chemical, biological protection troops, told a briefing in Moscow.

Arguing that US military projects are primarily aimed at studying "potential agents of biological weapons," Kirillov claimed US military-biological activity poses "a security threat to many nations around the world."

Comment: Russia government news outlet TASS confirms the
US is plotting another pandemic — Russian Defense Ministry

[...]
"The United States' next step, aimed at pushing ahead with its strategic plans for establishing global control over the biological situation, was the creation of the Office of Pandemic Preparedness and Response Policy. This new agency is expected to be responsible for charting a course and coordinating actions to combat known and unknown biological challenges, including pathogens that might trigger another global emergency," he said.

[...]

Kirillov also added that the Office's priorities included work to create vaccines and drugs to stop viruses and their genetically altered variants, as well as to introduce advanced bioproduction technologies.

"The Office will be headed by the special assistant to the US president and senior director for global health security and biodefense at the National Security Council, retired Air Force Major-General Paul Friedrichs," Kirillov concluded.
This is not the first time that Russia, as well as China, have tried to sound the alarm on US bioweapon research, the threat it poses to the planet, as well the (delusional) attempts to create such weapons that will try to target specific ethnicities/genetics (see links below).

However, with Ukraine fast losing the West's proxy war against Russia, and, in turn, the US increasing its provocations against China, it seems that some factions in the US are becoming ever more desperate and are therefore likely to take greater risks in an attempt to achieve their nefarious objectives.

The following is a news report on the situation from Russia's RT:

The United Kingdom's Secret Intelligence Service, commonly known as MI6, has prepared a sabotage unit of 100 Ukrainian fighters to be sent to Africa to counter Russia-Africa cooperation, a military-diplomatic source has said."

According to information confirmed by several sources, the British intelligence service MI6 has formed and prepared for deployment to the southern continent a sabotage and punitive detachment consisting of militants of Ukrainian nationalist and neo-Nazi formations to counter the development of cooperation between African countries and Russia," the source said.

The source added that Kiev, at the request of London in July 2023, ordered that Ukraine's Security Service and the Main Directorate of Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine (GUR) "provide maximum and prompt assistance to representatives of the British intelligence MI6 and SAS special unit in the selection of 100 fighters from the Ukrainian national formations with significant combat experience on the 'eastern front.'"

NATO official says Ukraine could give up demands for Russian territory

The idea of trading claims to land for peace is already being discussed within the bloc, Stian Jenssen told Norwegian media

Kiev could end up relinquishing its claims on Russian territory in exchange for NATO membership, Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg's chief of staff, Stian Jenssen suggested at a debate on Tuesday. In his own statements on the issue, Stoltenberg has insisted that Kiev will set its own terms for "victory."

"I think that a solution could be for Ukraine to give up territory, and get NATO membership in return," Jenssen said at the debate, according to Norway's VG newspaper. This discussion is already underway within NATO, he said, suggesting that it could be a "possible solution" to the conflict.

Comment: So much for a 'free and sovereign' Ukraine. Here is NATO more or less negotiating by press release over the head of Ukraine, just as the U.S. negotiated with North Vietnam, effectively cutting out South Vietnam from the process. The White House and the EU are getting desperate to pull themselves out of the Ukrainian morass, and the carrot of NATO membership for whatever is left of Ukraine (presuming anything will be) may not be enough to get the Ukraine government to play along.
