A war is being ‘announced’. The US Intelligence services have convinced their President and the Western’s MSM that a Russian invasion into Ukraine is ‘imminent’. According to other US and German spooks, Putin has actually decided to go ahead and the war will start on Wednesday, 16th February (link). Hence Biden and Johnson are telling any Brits and Yanks still in Ukraine to leave now because ‘things could get crazy very quickly’, according to Mr Biden (link, paywalled).
Let’s now take a look at the various Westminster MSM articles publishing what Biden’s ‘intelligence spokesman’ said, for example here in the DM:
“US national security adviser Jake Sullivan said the United States did not have definitive information that an invasion has been ordered by Russian President Vladimir Putin.” (link)
So is Putin going to start a war or isn’t he? Mr Sullivan said next:
“[…] all the pieces were in place for a major military operation that could start ‘rapidly’. The risk is high enough and the threat is now immediate enough that prudence demands that it is the time to leave now,’ Mr Sullivan said. ‘We are not saying that a decision has been taken by President Putin,’ Mr Sullivan added. ‘What we are saying is that we have a sufficient level of concern based on what we are seeing on the ground, and what our intelligence analysts have picked up, that we are sending this clear message.’ He added that the possibility of an invasion taking place before the end of the Winter Olympics on February 20 is a ‘credible prospect’ and a ‘very, very distinct possibility’.” (link)
Again: is he or isn’t he? Doesn’t it look as if the Intelligence authorities aren’t actually saying what they’re saying but that our fear-porn addicted MSM are making the most of it because that’s what they’ve learned to do during the last two years? Here’s another quote from Mr Sullivan, Biden’s national security adviser – it is quite extraordinary. He said:
“If a Russian attack on Ukraine proceeds, it is likely to begin with aerial bombing and missile attacks that could obviously kill civilians without regard to their nationality. A subsequent ground invasion would involve the onslaught of a massive force. It may well happen. It may happen soon. The Russians are in a position to mount a major military action in Ukraine any day now.” (paywalled link)
Well, to me this looks like a scenario created by Western intelligence strategists. Note that they are all remaining vague: “could, might, would” are the words of choice. It’s ‘be afraid, be very afraid even if we don’t know anything for certain’.
We’re left to puzzle out how it’s possible for the US, German and our intelligence services to ‘know’ on the one hand that Putin ‘will invade’ while they also ‘know’ he’s not made a decision. They do ‘know’ however how this invasion will proceed – but then again, ‘diplomats’ are still talking, telling Putin an invasion ‘will be his end’ and what sort of sanctions there’ll be (link).
Another little puzzle piece illustrates that our MSM are complicit in this warmongering. They always publish maps, showing all those Russian troops, with some pictures being taken from commercial satellites. There never are similar images of Ukrainian troops, as if to insinuate that poor Ukraine hasn’t got any, that she is like a helpless maiden, defenceless, abandoned to the alleged ravages of the Russian bear … Surely a bit of very select reporting, just like the covid fear porn …!
Meanwhile Ukrainian ambassadors to London (link, paywalled) and Berlin are crying and demanding that more troops be sent – after all, hasn’t Biden now started to send 3,000 of his soldiers to Kiev? That is of course not a provocation to Putin, see, it’s ‘only’ a warning! And then there’s this:
“Dmytro Kuleba, the Ukrainian foreign minister, played down the latest warnings from Mr Biden as “nothing new”, saying: “This statement is not evidence of some radical change of the situation.” (paywalled link)
So now that we’re all thoroughly frightened – a state of mind our ‘leaders’ love to induce in us – let’s ask why these ‘leaders’ are doing it now. It’s a general theory that states love to incite a little war in order to distract their people from domestic problems.
Lo and behold – there’s one huge domestic problem already manifest: the Freedom Convoys. These are not just happening in Canada and New Zealand – the French truckers are also ‘en marche’ and Macron is deploying armoured police already (link). US truckers are also joining:
“On Friday night, several convoys were gathering in U.S. cities, ahead of a planned journey to the Canadian border in support of their fellow truckers. Fears are high that some may try to disrupt Sunday’s Super Bowl, or Biden’s March 1 State of the Union address.” (link)
Meanwhile the PM of Ontario is threatening truckers with fines of up to $100,000 and prison if they don’t desist. Trudeau isn’t yet going to call in the Army but might (paywalled link). It’s all ‘unlawful’, see, and these Canadian truckers are now depicted as an ‘illegal occupying force’ which, according to Trudeau,
“is being fueled by political activists in the United States, […] more than 50 percent of donations to campaigns to support the protesters came from the U.S., which [Trudeau] referred to as ‘foreign financing’ of the protests”. (link)
The reason for this sudden hard stance? Money. There’s the bridge closed by Canadian truckers which:
“[…] provides a vital supply route with the US city of Detroit, carrying 25 per cent of all trade between the two countries. The bridge carries $300 million worth of goods each day. The Biden administration has sounded the alarm over the potential economic toll and urged their Canadian counterparts to bring it to a swift end.” (paywalled link)
So here’s the billion~ or trillion~dollar question: why are the presidents especially of CAN and USA not taking the simple way out and scrap the covid mandates? Why are the PMs of FRA, NZ and AUS not doing it either?
Is ‘a little war’ with Putin their face-saving measure, regardless of the misery it’ll bring to the world – just because they want to cling to their disastrous covid policies? Is ‘a little war’ the occasion they also need to distract us from the looming economic crisis, providing an easy ‘reason’ to restrict our freedoms even further, for example with energy and food rationing?
The US intelligence people said that ‘a cyber attack’ might/could/would be one of the kick-off points. Do they really believe that Putin, given all these public ‘intelligence reports’, would be so stupid and do just that – or isn’t it rather more conceivable that such ‘cyber attack’ will be put in scene by US ‘intelligence’, permitting them to ‘shoot back’? That ploy by Hitler starting WWII is common knowledge. Who is to say that it’ll be beyond the warmongers in Ukraine and the USA to use it!
Will things really kick off, or rather: ‘go crazy’ on Wednesday or will there be a ‘last-minute’ diplomatic, face-saving ‘break-through’? We’ll have to wait and see.
Meanwhile, let’s ‘keep calm and carry on’ – we know how to do that.

Really appreciate the updates today and particularly regarding the New Zealand correspondent. Thank you Mary for all your information too.
Here’s the latest update from our NZ Correspondent which I post on his behalf:
“Hi Viv
I’ll send this update to you as I’m having trouble posting, perhaps you’d post them for me.
New Zealand has just endured Cyclone Dovi, it has caused massive flooding in parts of the country with torrential rain and 150 KPH winds.
The government had hoped that Jovi would clear the protesters from Parliament but they just weighted down their tents with bags of mud and not only endured but carried on protesting the next day in torrential rain and a howling gale. The resilience of these people is amazing and
the camp doubled in size on Sunday; Camp Freedom has become Township Freedom, it is becoming rather permanent looking. The muddy lawns have been covered in hay, there are medical facilities, kitchens, toilets and people have volunteered to do the protesters laundry; everybody is warm with free clothing being handed out and they are very well fed, they are settled in for the long haul and in high spirits.
The Deputy Prime Minister is making ever more ludicrous claims and trying to label the protesters Neo Nazis and White Supremacists, despite the colour of so many of the faces there. Jacinda Ardern is nowhere to be seen, probably like Trudeau, she is in her bunker but it is said that
her patience is wearing thin. We’ll, she can stamp her little feet as much as she likes, these people are going nowhere and there are more on the way, many more.
Here are some interesting links:

Regards, NZ Correspondent.
Thank you for the update.
Re. the NZ Telegraph’s headline question, I am puzzled (not really) why so many are still puzzled, still asking why, and still inventing all sorts of implausible theories to excuse obvious dictatorial psychopathy, and ignoring synchronised actions from a group of leaders who all attended the WEF Young Global Leaders school of instruction. No clues there at all.
Especially when the answer has been in plain sight all along:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/COVID-19-Great-Reset-Klaus-Schwab/dp/2940631123/ref=sr_1_2?crid=14NVGBIFKVUXE&keywords=schwab+great+reset&qid=1644756596&sprefix=schwab+%2Caps%2C70&sr=8-2
n.b. Schwab’s original book, titled simply “The Great Reset”, seems to have disappeared down the rabbit hole. I wonder why; too explicit?
The opening para tells you all you need to know:
“Since it made it’s entry on the world stage, COVID-19 has dramatically torn up the existing script of how to govern countries. … The book’s main objective is to help understand what’s coming in a multitude of domains.”
Um, no. The WEF and its lackeys, and chancers, did the tearing; COVID was just their vehicle, manufactured for the purpose. And if that phrase, ‘to understand what’s coming in a multitude of domains,’ does not strike a chill, I don’t know what would. My answer would be to borrow the title of that great film, “Something Wicked This Way Comes.”
Agreed Phil O’S. I tend to refer to U.N. Agenda 21, rather than the Great Reset or W.E.F.. Agenda 21 is there, written and in plain sight. (Not that any of it’s words actually make plain sense.)
Of course it was ‘that lot’ that tore up the existing script. The Covid Scam was seized on as accelerating the ‘work’ of the Climate Change Scam.
According to Vernon Coleman’s ‘Endgame’ Blair, Brown and BORIS agreed that a Global Bureaucracy was the best way to Govern the World.
He doesn’t give any details of where or when.
Bingo
Many thanks for this Viv which cuts through all the hypocrisy and lies particularly of our dangerous treacherous MSM.
“Is ‘a little war’ the occasion they also need to distract us from the looming economic crisis, providing an easy ‘reason’ to restrict our freedoms even further, for example with energy and food rationing? ”
What it’s all about is TPTB have caused the coming catastrophic economic meltdown and are hell bent on creating a (bio)security state to keep us all under total control and save their own miserable skins. I think it very likely that they will conveniently (for them) come up with a cyber outage then blame Putin. They will stop at nothing to get this and distract attention. Cause wars, starve us freeze us and make us ill and scared, to take the fight out of us.

Muzzles particularly are a psychological tool-nothing else- to maintain an atmosphere of fear and to teach obedience, . (We must resist getting bogged down in “arguments” as to how “effective” muzzles are at tackling airborne viruses: this nonsense must be stopped before everyone is walking around all day in hamzat suits wearing muzzles like dogs and with something like a goldfish bowl on their heads for good measure).
We need alternative ideasfor currency, if we hope to avoidCentral Bank Digital Currency. Here’sanother option ?https://www.zerohedge.com/technology/new-private-currency-uses-bills-filled-real-gold
I think it is HAZMAT suit mary. hamzat means lion, in some language or other. (I just googled it.)
But Oh I do agree with you about how we MUST RESIST all these measures.
I am still ploughing through Dominic Raab’s consultation on a new Human Right’s Bill. Is it possible for you to re-post how you tackled it?
Or I think it was you wrote quite a lot about our Common Law and our centuries old traditions.
Didn’t we have our own Supreme Court before Blair’s 1998 Human Rights Act made it subservient to the EU?
Searching as best I can now, my impression is that Dominic Raab might be a shade better than most of our current politicians.
PB Here you go.
“I urge everyone to join in a Consultation re the proposed Bill of Rights. The link below and the Consultation questions make it seem very complicated but the basic issue is that we have God-given inalienable rights under natural law, under the English common law that worked for centuries where we were free to do anything we wanted unless it were specifically prohibited. A Bill of Rights where we have NO rights except those granted by Government , which can be withdrawn at will, would be a big step down the totalitarian path. Government could grant or refuse our basic rights, and enforce any abomination such as mandatory jabbing “for the greater good”.
I didn’t try to answer each question, left them blank, but said all this at the end. I added, if they really cared about human rights why don’t they repeal the appalling Covid legislation for a start and also address the abomination of arbitrary arrest under the EU Arrest Warrant. Hopefully that got my views across”.

Thank you mary for your 13/2 post. Peter Hitchins is very interesting and Nanny 1 and 2 also. I agree wholeheartedly.
I’ve written down, almost verbatim, what you said at the end of the Human Rights consultation. So I can say much the same thing myself when I get there.
Somewhere you have gone some way towards explaining what is meant by ‘qualified’ rights. And again I agree with you that our RIGHTS are not subject to such ‘qualifications’. I think I have somewhere that I should be free to say ‘I hate so and so or such and such’ even if that ‘offends’ someone.
Any way I shall go back and check everything, amend if necessary.
Blair/Brown’s 1998 Bill of Rights was an imposition, wasn’t it?
It seems to me that we should not be subject to the E.C.H.R. at all. Presumably that is where the appalling EAW is found. And I suspect that the Corona Virus Act was only able to be done because of Blair/Brown’s 1998 Bill. (Passed a few years later.)
Couldn’t agree more Mary.
There is so much humour in the leftist panic. In case you missed it, former Obama employee Juliette Kayyem, now beyond satire, a senior lecturer of international security at Harvard University’s John F. Kennedy School of Government as well as a national security analyst at CNN (naturally), having characterised the peaceful truckers blocking the Ambassador Bridge, as a threat, said authorities should slash their tires [sic], empty their fuel, arrest the drivers and move the trucks. Er, move the trucks? With flat tyres and no fuel, not to mention that all the towing companies in Canada and America say they have no one available due to Covid restrictions? Brilliant.
She demonstrates complete disconnect from the real world outside her bubble, let alone advocating vandalism, theft and unlawful arrest, and an almost physically impossible task. She also, again with typical lefty vindictiveness, proposed further illegal moves: the truckers’ insurance should be cancelled and their future certification as truckers blocked. She added that she would not run out of ways to make this hurt. As an advocate of unlawful acts and hurting people, she’s perfect for CNN, but surely her bonafides to be a lecturer on international security is what should be challenged.

The latest dirty trick by the leftists in Canada has been to infiltrate the group and take the money donated. The female infiltrator is also associated with Obama :I think though that this sort of thing merely serves to make the protesters all the more determined. The global elite has certainly been flushed out of the shadows now and is revealed as the vile fascists thatthey are,

I saw that. Quite worrying. By the way, the police were forced by a judge to return the fuel they stole. They did, but they contaminated every jerry can with water. They are beyond evil.
Our NZ Correspondent sent me the following email just now, asking me to post it on his behalf:

Huge thanks to the NZ correspondent.
Biden’s not too chuffed that the Freedom Convoy in Canada is cutting off supply chains to the automotive industries in Detroit. He’s urging the rainbow sock puppet over the border to get tough on those deplorables.
Wow a fantastic sight to see. Really lifts the spirits Viv.
Well on the 10th of February, John Redwood in his diary said he didn’t think there would be war in the Ukraine.
I’m sure he’s a better tipster than all the rest.
Mind you if Viv is correct and the West is looking to provoke one, they
I don’t remember J.R. saying that Roger – memory like a sieve – ‘spose I’d better wind the Diary back to 10thFeb.
What were you going to say? You seem to have cut off mid sentence.
It was 11th Feb. according to my search, just done.
While there I commented on today’s diary. It was about Global warming due to CO2 and what smart meters will be used for once we have all been persuaded or forced to have them!
As for Ukraine – Viv is probably right. Biden needs to distract from problems near home. (AND around the World – hooray!)
Of course that is no guarantee that war will not be fomented by U.S.. In the early days of the plans for World Government it was accepted that a constant series of wars were an excellent way to control the people.
Did Orwell have inside knowledge of those Groups and their talks? Or did they learn from his 1984?
I am sorry you are having tech problems Viv, but thanks again for all you do and I hope someone who is altruistic feels able to come forward with some help.
I understand that many of you have difficulties posting comments or replies.
I am sorry but there’s not much I can do because I’m not a computer specialist and cannot afford to spend an inordinate amount of my personal time on trying to resolve issues, not knowing how to go about dealing with them.
So here’s another appeal: I /we need a competent and trustworthy webmaster who knows about wordpress and would be able to address these issues.
If you know such person – please ask them to contact me in the usual way. Thank you!
