Looks like Ukrainians are more interested in what Putin has to say than Zelensky.
Unlike their great leader and his NATO puppeteers, they know where things are headed.
From InfoDefense, Telegram:
❗️🇷🇺🇺🇦 75% of Internet users in Ukraine followed Putin's direct line.
The Gallup Research Institute has published data on the results of December 14. It turned out that about 75 percent of Ukrainians with Internet access watched Putin's live line with the help of various VPN services.
The viewing depth amounted to a record for Ukraine - 50%.
Preview of coming attractions.
Hollywood likes Scenario 1 in my recent post on how Empire ends (link under Comments below).
Christmas, 2023: Jesus in the rubble.
A message from Bethlehem.
If this Hollywood script comes to life, it would be a perfect emblem for the Empire of Optics.
It’s not entirely outlandish, because Joe Biden and Donald Trump are Scylla and Charybdis.
Besides, Ronald Reagan was the last to play that role in the USA, and he managed to show surprising political chops.
But the latest case from the Empire isn’t panning out so happily. The anointed star: Volodymyr Zelensky, the Servant of the People turned puppet president.
Is The Rock auditioning for the US version?
From Dom Lucre, X:
🔥🚨BREAKING NEWS: Dwayne The Rock Johnson is currently meeting with some of the military cadre at the Pentagon, this is just days after The Rock’s interview where he confirmed that ‘the parties’ wanted him to run for president.
Is Bongbong Marcos taking after Volodymyr Zelensky?
Before Zelensky was elected president, he promised:
• To end the war
• To negotiate with Putin
• To do everything to prevent even a single death
• To hold a referendum about the peace proposal, so that Ukraine decides and not him.
Before Marcos was elected president, he pledged:
• To adopt a “balanced” policy towards the US and China
• To be “friend to all, foe to none.”
It’s truly remarkable how US Empire & Associates project their own failings, schemes and crimes onto those they consider adversaries.
They do it consistently, almost reflexively.
Here, a honcho of the Zelensky regime says Chinese and Indians are dummies.
Which means…
From Ukraine Watch, Telegram:
“‘China and India have weak intellects, so they are unable to analyze the consequences of their actions,’ Zelensky's office advisor Podolyak concluded. ‘What is India's and China's problem? The problem with these countries is that they do not analyze the consequences of their own actions. The weak intellectual potential of these countries... These countries are making money out of this war, they are actually making money,’ said Podolyak.
“By the way, this is not just a marginal Fool, but a high-ranking Ukrainian official…”
Long live Chairman Mao!
His immortal achievement was to end China's Century of Humiliation and set the nation off on the long march to recover its historical greatness.
For 1,400 years after the fall of the Roman Empire, China was the world's sole superpower, largest economy and a fountainhead of human innovation and achievement.
From Hu Xijin, X:
"Sept. 9 marks the 47th anniversary Chairman Mao Zedong’s passing. In Tiananmen Square, huge crowds of people braved the rain to watch flag-raising ceremony.
"Mao led Chinese people to completely change the destiny of their own &the country. Chinese people will always remember him."
Besides visiting mayhem and death on its declared enemies, the Biden regime has been notable for entrenching an especially nefarious American way of war.
It is, via persuasion or coercion, to use proxies to fight major foes such as China and Russia.
The frontline shocktroops and cannon fodder include both “allies” and other non-combatants who happen to have some beef with the targeted powers. For the US, of course, such a mode avoids American casualties and homeland attrition. Washington’s “contribution” is limited to the supply of funds and weapons - apart from the provocation and orchestration.
Uncle Sam is now actively pressing this strategy throughout the Asia-Pacific region, against China. And in Europe, he already has the mother of all proxy wars going in Ukraine. But because the puppet Kiev regime is nearing exhaustion, a fresh proxy, preferably keen on combat, needs to be found.
A perfect candidate is Poland, the intensely Russophobic NATO member and neighbor of both Ukraine and Russian ally Belarus. Militarization has been going on for a while and the first shots may have just been fired (post below). A bleak, explosive winter could await the world.
From Patrick Henningsen, X:
"BREAKING: #NATO violates #Belarus airspace - Belarusian border patrol agency release video of #Poland’s Mi-24 combat helicopter crossing into Belarusian territory in what appears to be a clear NATO provocation. The incident was recorded today… #Ukraine #WWIII"
To many in the imperial US establishment, Tucker Carlson is the right wing's star talking-head turned rogue.
Now ostensibly an independent operator, he is hotter & heavier in his challenges to Washington’s cherished narratives.
Carlson had Col. Douglas MacGregor on his show to talk incisive and persuasively about how, despite Washington’s insistence to the contrary, Ukraine is losing. Most Main Street Americans would have been shocked to hear that.
Carlson also wants to interview Vladimir Putin. To mainstream USA, that would be like giving Satan a platform to show how moderate and reasonable he was.
Perhaps as a prelude to that audacious act, Carlson traveled to Hungary and gave a remarkable take on European affairs (short video below). Key themes: the US destruction of Nord Stream, the shaming of Germany and burgeoning tensions within NATO, which "is going to collapse, obviously."
Has Tucker's breakup with Fox News triggered an awakening of journalistic conscience and a search for truth? Or is his new tack something insidiously scripted by the Empire's powers that be?
The truth will out, in due course. It would be interesting too to see if Carlson will moderate his China-bashing and -baiting of the past.
Fukushima's nuclear-contaminated water is NOT the same as regular nuclear wastewater.
That was the point of our "FRAUD ALERT!" post three days ago (link below).
The Japanese government, Japan's apologists and assorted China-haters have been pulling out the stops to muddy the difference and confuse the world.
From Morgan in Singapore:
#Fukushima - the shameless Japanese government is now on full #propaganda drive to whitewash their #EcoTerrorism and #CrimesAgainstHumanity. 🇯🇵☢️🌊💀
Get educated on the difference between normal nuclear waste water (which does not come into direct contact with the reactor core) and Japan's nuclear #contaminated waste water (which comes into DIRECT contact with their damaged nuclear reactor core). 👈🏻
Do not let the devious Japanese government #obfuscate you.

Ode to the Fukushima dump.
The USA has long been the most active developer and suspected user of bioweapons. Moreover, signs suggest it's even targeting specific ethnic groups.
More than traces have been found during Washington’s wars in West Asia. After the sudden outbreak of SARS in 2003, China went on alert against bioattacks - and treated the eruption of Covid-19 as one.
Washington has pointed its finger at China for Covid and successfully instigated an international investigation there. But it has strenuously stonewalled all calls for similar probes of its own biowarfare-related facilities, notably the mega-center at Fort Detrick, which was suspiciously closed in the months leading up to the Covid outbreak in Wuhan, China.
Following the Russian army's seizure of US-sponsored biolabs in Ukraine, both Moscow and Beijing have urged investigations. Now, the EurAsian powers have done so again, separately but at the same time.
It's time the (real) international community put serious pressure on the US to come clean.
From BioClandestine, Telegram:
"Within the past 3 days, high-ranking officials from the Russian and Chinese governments publicly accused the US of manufacturing biological crises for geopolitical gain and world domination.
"Russia and China accused the US of WITTINGLY releasing SARS-CoV-2."
The latest charge that the "Wuhan lab" helped the Pentagon develop bioweapons - for potential use against China - is yet another pointer to the absurdity to which Yellow Peril 2.0 has descended.
The entire US political class, and the sheeple legions who believe them, are no more than performers and audience in a tawdry circus. And POTUS contender RFK Jr. is one of the clowns.
From Mario Cavolo in X (Twitter) -
“Ever striving for new heights, Joe Biden has decided to become the most disastrous foreign policy president of pretty much all time as well.
"We're looking at potential wars, coups, proxy wars and other military involvement on every continent but Antarctica. And I won't be surprised if we find out that we're at war with penguins or the snow monsters or whatever in Antarctica fairly soon."
- Steve Poikonen, national organizer for Action4Assange
Hungary’s Viktor Orban is the EU’s sole enlightened leader.
His government is the only one that’s against the NATO-instigated and -sustained Ukraine war, as well as the boomeranging sanctions on Russia. The Hungarian parliament has just voted to block Sweden's accession to NATO.
Today, Hungary is a beacon of light in a continent engulfed by darkness, a pestilence emanating from across the Atlantic and spread by devoted deputies in Europe.
One has to wonder how long Budapest can sustain its saneness. The signs aren’t encouraging.
From Paradigm Shift, Telegram:
🔹The US 🇺🇸 imposed new travel restrictions on citizens of Hungary today, (restrictions via the U.S. Visa Waiver Program), over concerns that some Hungarian passports holders weren't sufficiently verified. This comes after Hungary’s parliament adjourned Sweden’s accession to NATO because a two-thirds majority was absent from the vote.
🔹Hungary's 🇭🇺 FM P. Szijjarto revealed that EU 🇪🇺 member states are expecting to fund the war in Ukraine for at least another 4 years at a cost of €5 billion per year. Slovakian 🇸🇰 FM M. Wlachovský rebutted him saying he couldn't recall such a discussion.
🔹Hungarian Minister of State T. Menczer responded to Slovakian FM Wlachovský accusing him of either having a bad short-term memory or lying. Menczer noted that EU FM's agreed at their last meeting to propose financing arms shipments to Ukraine 🇺🇦 for the next 4 years at a combined cost of €20 billion.
🔹Last week 🇭🇺 PM V. Orban was criticized for saying “Ukraine’s sovereignty is practically lost. He also said so-called “Western values” mean just “three things: migration, LGBTQ, and war” and that “the EU rejects Christian heritage".
🔹Last month, Hungary (1 of 5 EU countries), signed a joint declaration to extend a ban on the domestic sale of Ukrainian grain until at least the end of 2023. In May, the country blocked €500 million-euros of E
Since 1945, the Pacific Ocean has been the de facto private playground of the US Navy.
One visible manifestation is the "freedom-of-navigation" patrols it regularly conducts to intimidate targeted countries - i.e., 21st-century gunboat diplomacy.
China and Russia are starting to challenge that longstanding maritime hegemony. The PLA Navy, now the world's largest, has been conducting a growing number of joint exercises and patrols with Russia's Far East Fleet over widening areas. The three-day maneuvers below are just the latest.
A factual description from Moscow’s MoD:
🇷🇺🇨🇳 Ships of Russian and Chinese navies begin joint maritime patrols in Pacific Ocean
▫️ Combat ships of the Russian Navy and the Chinese Navy began carrying out the tasks of the third joint maritime patrol of the Pacific Ocean.
▫️ After ships of the Russian and Chinese navies left Vladivostok, a joint detachment was formed in the waters of the Peter the Great Gulf and began travelling along the route previously agreed upon by the parties.
▫️ The tasks of the joint patrol are to strengthen naval cooperation between Russia and China, maintain peace and stability in the Asia-Pacific region, monitor the sea area and protect the objects of maritime economic activity of the Russian Federation and China.
▫️ During the patrols, sailors from both countries will practise operations in various formations, organisation of all types of squadron defence, replenishment of water and fuel on the move, anti-submarine tasks, as well as deck helicopter flights with take-offs and landings on the ships of the parties.
▫️ As part of the international detachment, the Russian Federation is represented by the large anti-submarine ships Admiral Tributs and Admiral Panteleyev, the corvettes Gremyashchiy and Hero of the Russian Federation Aldar Tsydenzhapov, and the medium-sized naval tanker Pechenga. From the PLA Navy, the destroyers Guiyang and Qiqihar, the patrols, the patrol shi
