Bank Holiday weather – better stay indoors and read the recommended texts!

 

 

I apologise for having predicted nice weather at the end of last week’s daily column on Saturday! I ought to have remembered that, no matter the forecast, it always rains on a Bank Holiday weekend. The good news is that nothing much has happened so our beloved MSM have reserved much space for the photo of Princess Charlotte who turned seven. Well, anything ‘nice royal’ always cheers us peasants up.

So for today, I’m going to present you with some outstanding articles which are necessary reading. Firstly though, a few quick remarks on that ongoing war in the Ukraine. I was astonished, to say the least, that one ‘senior officer’ of the commercial satellite provider MAXAR has acknowledged to The Times that they, or rather he, were aware of events to come:

“Months before Russia invaded Ukraine, Stephen Wood said he “could see something was going to happen”. He could see it on his computer screen, in his office in Colorado.” (link, paywalled)

So could we all because MAXAR sold their satellite images to our MSM. He and the oh-so-valiant Times writers forgot that this acknowledgement opens a nice can of worms, for example: if commercial satellites ‘saw’ these things then the secret military ones must also have seen them, begging the question why none of the Western Ukraine supporters in government, military and peace-keeping organisations ‘saw’ anything regarding Ukrainian build-up in preparation for their attack on the Donbas regions.

Moreover, they must have ‘seen’ the increased artillery shelling by Ukrainian forces of the Donbas areas – even the OSCE had reported those. Now this ‘senior officer’ proudly claims that they can ‘prove’ with their satellite images that for example ‘the Russians did it’ in Bucha, referring especially to that ‘mass grave’ allegedly found!

This brings me to the first, long text I recommend reading on this wet Bank Holiday Monday. It is by Eva Bartlett. She documents in her report that ‘satellite images’ are very much open to manipulation and that nothing replaces investigations on the ground. For example, there were accusations of another ‘mass grave’, near Mariupol. Ms Bartlett shows that there was no such thing, that the western MSM maliciously interpreted ‘images of graves’ for their propaganda issues. Her long report is necessary reading.

During the last couple of days civilians have been leaving the Azovstal complex, under the auspices of the UN and the Red Cross. Conditions in those bunkers were dire, we’re told, and some ‘haven’t seen the sun for two months’ (link). That is terrible – but at the same time it’s remarkable how our oh-so-compassionate MSM hacks have no compassion that I can see for the children and people having lived in their cellars in the towns and villages being shelled by Ukrainian forces in the Donbas for eight years. even when it’s about compassion, some are more equal than others.

The ‘soldiers’ of the Azov brigade are also using ‘compassion’ for their plight, telling the western MSM that there are so many wounded in their bunkers with no medical support, asking why they cannot also be evacuated. Russian forces have made it perfectly clear: they can all come out as soon as they surrender and put down their weapons. So why don’t they? Why does Kiev still tell them to stay put, and why does the French President allegedly does the same in regard to the French military in that bunker? Is it because of those biolabs allegedly installed in those bunkers? Will we ever know? 

Regarding biological weapons and biolabs, you might like to read this text by Dr Robert W. Malone. It is long but provides a much-needed background on the legalities of biological weapons. Dr Malone refers not to an ultra-secret paper – it is a convention worked out by the UN and available to our MSM as well.

Meanwhile our MSM are trying to cry wolf yet again, distorting events. This time it’s about the situation in Moldova where NATO and neighbouring states like Poland and Romania have reportedly been working on using that country as springboard for incursions into the western Ukraine. The Times, one of the principal warmongering newspapers and shameless mouthpiece for the Ukrainian government, warns us that Putin ‘is paving the way for a take-over of Moldovia’ – well, according to ‘Ukrainian military sources’, that is (my emphasis):

“Russia will attempt to open up a new front against Ukraine from Moldova, according to Ukrainian military sources. […] “We believe the Kremlin has already taken the decision to attack Moldova. The fate of Moldova is very crucial. If the Russians start to take control, we will, militarily, be an easier target and the threat to Ukraine will be existential,” said the source. […] The claims could not be independently verified.” (link, paywalled)

Notice how the ‘cry wolf’ of one Ukrainian ‘military source’ becomes ‘Putin plans to …’? Perhaps the nice people from MAXAR have satellite images which might prove this? Surely The Times has sufficient funds to access such satellite images, to ‘verify’ Putin’s plans! Surely that nice CEO in Colorado would be happy to help!

Meanwhile, there’s something brewing further East – not that our MSM are interested. You remember Afghanistan? You recall the infamous abandonment of people and the latest military material to the Taliban? Well, ‘The West’ is stirring that pot yet again, as if the situation in Pakistan, after the coup ousting the elected PM, Mr Khan, wasn’t sufficiently dangerous.

Thus my recommendation to read this text in Indian Punchline, by M. K. Bhadrakumar: “Afghanistan braces for new war”. Mention is made of CIA and MI6 fingers in that pie. Anything to open up a ‘second front’ to drag Russia in. This time however China won’t be just a supportive bystander.

I leave you with ‘news’ that Russia surely is losing in the Ukraine because their victory parade on the 9th of May has been ‘reduced’, as the DT proudly informs us:

“The war in Ukraine has weakened the Russian military so dramatically that fewer soldiers and armoured vehicles will partake in the country’s Victory Parade in Moscow on May 9. […] There will be around 130 military vehicles taking part in the parade, compared with 191 last year. Around 10,000 personnel will take part, compared with 12,000 last year. No foreign leaders have been invited to the parade, which will celebrate the 77th anniversary of the USSR’s victory over Hitler’s Germany.” (paywalled link)

Of course, like a dog which has to piss on every tree or lamp post he encounters, Mr ‘e had to interpret this as sign that he’s ‘winning’, quoting numbers already refuted elsewhere in Russian news sites which are of course propaganda and therefore cannot be mentioned, never mind taken at face value (my emphasis):

“The apparent diversion of key military equipment to the fighting in Ukraine was seized on by the Ukrainian president as evidence that the Russian army has been severely depleted by the two-month war. […] Those figures have not been independently verified.” (paywalled link)

When will our MSM stop publishing stuff which they know isn’t verified? Do they not understand that this means we now don’t trust anything they publish because they demonstrate incessantly that they are nought but propaganda mouthpieces? Do they think we’ve forgotten that they never published any information running counter the SAGE lockdown data because they were ‘not independently verified, sorry’?

I leave you with one more text. This is an interview with Jacques Baud whose two articles have become indispensable reading. That also applies to this interview. If you can only manage reading one text today – make it this one! Anyway, it’s raining so there’s not much else to do …
