The drip-drip-drip of ‘atrocity’ reports and accusations, fake or not, of ‘genocide’ and ‘war crimes’ coming from one side only is hard to avoid. It might turn a normal person into an all-out cynic …

For example, there’s the ‘attack on a maternity and childrens’ hospital’ in Mariupol which the Ukrainian President declared to be ‘barbaric’, inhumane and ‘genocide’. The only accusation lacking was the one that Russian soldiers had ripped premature babies out of incubators. Since Russian troops aren’t yet in Mariupol that one would be too hard to swallow even for western MSM.

According to the BBC Mr Zelinski had video footage from inside that building – quite a feat, I’d have thought. There’s however this, from the BBC:

“A regional official told Ukrainian media that at least 17 people were injured, including staff and patients. Pavlo Kyrylenko, the head of the Donetsk regional administration which includes the port city of Mariupol, said no deaths had been confirmed, and there were no confirmed injuries amongst children. He said the attack happened during an agreed ceasefire with the Russian side, according to Interfax Ukraine.” (link)

17 people injured, not even dead? Some genocide, some warcrime! How come Mr Z wasn’t informed? Does he only believe some twitter-videos? Is this how the west justifies their warmongering? Clearly, “we”, who don’t believe a word coming out of Russia cannot believe a word this Ukrainian official has said. No, there’s only one ‘trustworthy’ source, and that is Mr Z. I’ll quote the DT, an example standing for the rest of the MSM reports:

“Ukraine’s president has accused Russia of “genocide” after it bombed a children’s hospital and maternity ward in Mariupol on Wednesday. [He] called the strike “beyond atrocity” and accused Moscow of a “crime that reflects all evil that the invaders have brought on us”.” (paywalled link)

Now let’s hear the other side. It’s what we used to expect from the times before our MSM were turned into government propaganda outlets. It used to come under ‘unbiased reporting’:

“Russian First Deputy Permanent Representative to the United Nations Dmitry Polyanskiy dismissed reports about an attack on a hospital in Mariupol as fake news. Earlier, UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres condemned in his Twitter an “attack on a hospital in Mariupol, Ukraine, where maternity & children’s wards are located,” as “horrific,” noting that civilians are “paying the highest price for a war that has nothing to do with them”. Polyanskiy wrote on Twitter in response to Guterres’ statement: “That’s how #Fakenews is born. We warned in our statement back on 7 March (https://russiaun.ru/en/news/070322n) that this hospital has been turned into a military object by radicals. Very disturbing that UN spreads this information without verification.”. (link)

Ah well – why would top western politicians need to verify anything! After all, it must be true when it’s on Ukrainian social media. We, after all, must also believe that whatever Mr Z. says is true, especially when he accuses Russia and Putin?

Unsurprisingly, “we” must believe the next ‘horror warning’ as well. After Ms Nuland had to confirm that the US did run biolabs in Ukraine, this warning is an attempt at deflection, to keep the biolab issue off the front pages. This ‘warning’ utilised the attack on that maternity hospital as ‘proof’:

Vladimir Putin is plotting to use chemical weapons in Ukraine, Western officials fear, after his air force bombed a maternity hospital in a “depraved” attack that shocked the world. There is now “serious concern” that the Russian president will order an “utterly horrific” attack using chemical or biological weapons, as Moscow ramped up allegations that Kyiv is itself planning to deploy them in the battlefield.” (paywalled link)

Have the infamous ‘White Helmets’ now relocated from Syria to Kiev? Better bring on the sanctions, right? Let the global energy markets crash with ‘disastrous consequences’ as Turkey has been warning (link). Who cares – people should simply turn down their heating, sez the EU’s Mr Borrell! That’s the best way to make the EU ‘Russian Gas Free’ by 2030 (link). Why does this proposal remind me so forcefully of Johnson’s ‘Net Zero’ and the banning of gas boilers for home heating …

Perish the thought that western politicians were happy to let this war begin in order to achieve that ‘Great Reset’ and the Net Zero policies. Let’s not entertain the thought that western politicians are rubbing their hands in glee because they can now blame everything, from an economic crash to inflation, on Putin. 

Here’s another interesting ‘warning’, coming from Biden. We’ve been aware for some time that certainly the Bank of England is working on digital money, akin to crypto currencies. Biden’s administration is now working on similar plans and aims at controlling crypto currencies:

“US regulators and politicians have been clamoring for restrictions on crypto for years, eager for the tax revenue they suspected could be gleaned from the 40 million Americans who have invested in or traded crypto. However, the Biden administration has more recently sought to frame such currencies as lifelines for sanctioned Russian oligarchs.” (link)

So it ain’t really about ‘sanction evasion’ but about treasury control and taxes … wonderful, isn’t it, for what all Putin can be blamed. I wonder though what ‘Mr Tesla’, a.k.a. Elon Musk, a heavy bitcoin investor, will have to say about that …

Meanwhile, speaking of sanctions, life will become really tough in Russia: Macdonald’s and other fast food chains have stopped feeding hungry Russians, CocaCola won’t provide them with their stuff either (link) and amazon stops delivering stuff and streaming videos to Russia and Belarus (link). And still those benighted Russians support Putin!

Here’s a text, an interview, which you might like to read. The authors point out that the west has been wrong about Russia and Putin for twenty years. They also raise the question of why Russia went to war now, at this time. Remember, the civil war, the attacks by Ukrainians on the mostly Russian-speaking people in the separatist regions of the Donbass have, after all, been going on for eight year. Another source reports:

“It has long been suspected that the Russians did not go into Ukraine just to oppose the war-crimes against the breakaway republics. […] What has also come to light […] was that Ukraine was planning a mass invasion of Eastern Ukraine scheduled for March. These documents came to light during the course of the ongoing war.” (link)

Russia has now got the documents (check the above link) and it’s surely not inconceivable that their intelligence services knew this was being planned. We remember the increased shelling across these separatist regions coming from Ukraine as documented by the OSCE – days before  Russian troops crossed into Ukraine. 

Russia has now also got the documents proving that the USA did run biolabs in Ukraine – see this report providing screenshots and documents, listing the money spent and by whom as well as the dates when these institutes were funded. It would of course be churlish to mention in this context the unravelling covid and vaccine ‘story’ and the involvement of US institutions, now documented by the likes of Mr Fuellgraf and Robert J Kennedy jr. 

It’s -15ºC and snowing in Moscow but here’s a nice taste of things to come for the USA. Americans will now have to show that they are happy to freeze, to demonstrate their solidarity with Ukraine. There’s a ‘bomb cyclone’ coming which will ‘wallop the NE with heavy snow’, according to Accuweather (link). The weather is clearly unbiased but Russians won’t have to shiver in their cold homes. Tough, innit …

We might be spared the meteorological cold for now but we’d better start practising freezing inside our homes – a ‘small sacrifice’. Let’s forget that the first tranche of the extortionate fuel prices we’ll have to pay came already into being in October 2021, ‘before Putin’. From now on everything is going to be Putin’s fault if you believe our Westminster swamp dwellers. I wonder if he’s also been twiddling with that global warming which doesn’t seem to follow green blob predictions.

Meanwhile we’d better stock up on hottiebotties and blankets while we can, before there’s a shortage caused by Putin.
