Having trawled through yesterday’s papers and having scanned this morning’s MSM ‘efforts’, there’s no escaping the impression that the war drums are sounding louder and louder. Any sane person must surely ask themselves: ‘why?’ And: ‘why now?’

Any sane person must also wonder why, just as with the covid fear porn we were exposed to for two years, editors and opinion piece writers seem to sing from the same hymn sheet. As for me, well known for being a nosey and cynical old cow, I ask: what are TPTB trying to hide? 

Let’s look at some intriguing puzzle pieces. There’s the ‘party inquiry’ by Ms Sue Gray. The Westminster MSM had some juicy, shock-horror headlines about what the lady is doing. She allegedly ‘questioned the Downing Street police’ about their ‘shocking report’ regarding the comings and goings ‘in Westminster’ (paywalled link). She also ‘will examine’ Johnson’s official diary (paywalled link).

Amazing, isn’t it, that all those intrepid reporters have found those shocking titbits – or is it? See this:

“The testimonies, which come just days before Ms Gray releases the findings of her report, have now been described as ‘extremely damning’, according to a source. The source went on to claim that while officers could not be compelled to speak to Ms Gray they were ‘only too willing’ to provide cooperate with the probe.” (link)

Ah – so it’s a ‘source’, is it! What a surprise! Here’s another one, who said in the run-up to today’s Dominic Cummings’ meeting with Ms Gray:

“Last night one source […] told The Telegraph: ‘Met officers have spoken to Sue Gray now, as you would expect, and have been able to provide a lot of information. The source added: ‘Put it this way, if Boris Johnson is still Prime Minister by the end of the week, I’d be very surprised.’” (link)

We’re not told, as is customary, if that ‘source’ is in No 10 or Whitehall or in Ms Gray’s office. It doesn’t really matter. What matters is that this what is politely called ‘hostile briefing’, or more robustly: stirring a certain brown substance. Why now though when “we” are being prepared by our propaganda MSM for an armed conflict?

Have there been ‘sources’ whispering about the situation in the Ukraine, about what “we” are planning to do? Well, the former Foreign Secretary, now Justice minister, said on telly yesterday that:

“[…] there would be a ‘robust and concerted’ response after British intelligence discovered Ukrainian politician Yevhen Murayev, who has previously defended Russia’s annexation of Crimea, was being lined up to run the country as a satellite of Moscow.” (link)

Good old MI6! Never mind that nobody in Kiev seems to know this man, according to a DT reporter, but Ukrainians apparently believe that Putin has indeed selected a puppet Ukrainian PM already (paywalled link). These are the same Ukrainians who warned that Putin was planning a coup for mid-December, who told the world that he’d invade in the first week of January. These are the same Ukrainians who have been telling the world’s MSM that there would be a ‘false flag’ event …

Meanwhile, ‘Defence chiefs’ are planning to evacuate about 1,000 Brits in the Ukraine, using the same unit which evacuated Brits from Kabul (link). So it’s serious, innit. But wait – here’s another pretty clear hint why they’re warmongering:

“Ministers have been warned that they will have to contend with record-breaking gas and petrol prices in the event of a Russian invasion of Ukraine. Senior government officials expect Russia to “weaponise” its natural resources by restricting supplies of gas to Europe if the West carries out its threat to impose sanctions. Ministers have been involved in top-level discussions to assess the impact that a reduced supply of gas from Russia would have on prices in Britain.” (link, paywalled)

Now ain’t that interesting: Whitehall mandarins and ministers are preparing the ground to blame Putin and his alleged plans to take over the Ukraine for the coming rise in gas prices. Our own green crappery which has led to a reduction of gas storage because ‘gas ain’t green’ has of course nothing at all to do with that! Even though we don’t import Russian gas, prices would rise on the world market because EU countries depend on Russian gas:

“Other European countries are far more dependent than Britain on Russian gas. About 40 per cent of Germany’s supplies come from Russia while countries such as Sweden and Finland are almost entirely reliant.” (link, paywalled)

We’re in the middle of winter right now so we need to heat our homes and offices. It’s even colder in Sweden and Finland – but they are ‘far away’. Our warmongering ‘journalists’ and ‘sources’ meanwhile are sitting in warm offices or warm “WFH” rooms. Will they receive a ‘heating expenses’ bonus, unlike us peasants who’ll have to pay for all that ourselves?

These people are all utterly disconnected from real life. They play their briefing games even though they must know that their ‘strong man’ posturing is an illusion. For example, the ‘defence chiefs’ plan an evacuation of Brits like the one they did in Kabul – jolly good, until we remember that a young FO civil servant told the MSM how there was hardly any staff dealing with this crisis, that sometimes he was the only one present.

Now see yesterday’s truly shocking article in the DM which hardly made any waves, under this headline:

“​​’We’ll work from home forever’: Civil servants vow to fight returning to offices despite Boris Johnson declaring war on the ‘Whitehall blob’ – as it’s revealed some officials have even relocated out to the Cotswolds and Cornwall to WFH” (link)

And these are the people going to run an evacuation? According to The Times this morning, ‘civil service trade unions’ will resist Johnson tooth-and-claw (paywalled link), war or not. Let’s just remind ourselves that it’s us who pay for these WFH skiving civil serpents, with our taxes and the VAT we pay on higher gas prices and on their green ‘schemes’. Why should we pay for them to eat cake?

These little puzzle pieces form an unlovely picture. ‘Sources’ inside Whitehall brief about ‘Party Gate’ because they hope to get rid of Johnson who wants them back in their offices. They’re happy to have the cabinet in turmoil at the same time as warmongers are beating their drums: not a clever ploy when “we” allegedly must prepare for war.

There’s one other aspect which puzzles me. Given the two years of covid propaganda paid for by certain billionaires, supported by certain figures in the WEF: are they paying for this war propaganda as well?  Wouldn’t a war put paid to all their vax campaigns? Does the WEF – they’ve just concluded their Davos get-together – believe a little war is just the ticket for their ‘great reset’?

Since our esteemed ‘journalists’ are not asking those questions, can we assume that they are happy, useful idiots, believing that somehow the WEF and those billionaires will be able to limit this war and get rid of Putin? Are they oblivious to the fact that the wily Mr Xi may well take this opportunity to go on a little land grab of his own?

So why are the propaganda outlets, national and international, manufacturing another fear porn epic? What are they trying to hide? I believe they are desperate to keep our attention away from the covid scandal, the sad truths coming out every day about manipulated numbers, about jab ‘collateral damages’. Why should they report that, showing up their own incompetence!

Above all: who needs to worry about covid and all that jazz when “we” can be distracted by a nice little ‘local’ war without ‘consequences’ for us. “They” will tell us what to do and how to think, won’t they! After two years they’re well trained in fear propaganda – and they’ve also trained us well.

Or so they think …
