As WW3 continues to evolve, courageous former insiders in the Empire of Chaos like Ray McGovern, Professor Jeffrey Sachs, Colonel Douglas MacGregor, John Kiriakou, Scott Ritter and many more are speaking up.
The urgency these concerned individuals display reflects the danger the entire planet is in, with the pathologically insane lunatics of the Military Industrial Congressional Complex provoking China and Russia at the same time. This, by definition, is insanity and a step change in cold war posturing quickly morphing into a hot war. For me the first shots in WW3 have been fired, by the usual suspects.
In half a century of monitoring geo-politics we have never been so close to potential armageddon, imho.
In the link below, various speakers on the Security Council mention the huge ecological consequences of the terrorist attack on the Nordstream pipelines.
“Professor Jeffrey Sachs and Ray Address UN Security Council under the rubric ‘Threats to International Peace and Security’ February 21, 2023.
(Each was asked to include discussion of the Hersh report on Nord Stream.)
Sachs: minute 21:00 to 31:23; McGovern: min. 31:24 to 48:46″ circa Ray McGovern.
Threats to international peace and security – Security Council, 9266th meeting
“The Nord Stream pipelines have stopped leaking. But the methane emitted broke records”.
“While the exact amount of the gas released is still not known, as much as half a million metric tons of methane was leaked from the pipelines”. The Nord Stream pipelines have stopped leaking. But the methane emitted broke records.
I have previously written about the environmental consequences of all this warmongering: Warmongering and the Climate Crisis
Seymour Hersh’s block buster report, that has been ignored by all the corporate media, surprise surprise, is embedded following: How America Took Out The Nord Stream Pipeline
Subheading: “The New York Times called it a “mystery,” but the United States executed a covert sea operation that was kept secret – Until Now.”
“American Empire is merely the most lethal manifestation of industrial civilization, hence any civilization. Because this culture is inextricably interconnected with this civilization, I have concluded that contemporary culture is worthy of our individual and collective condemnation. Walking away from empire is necessary but insufficient to terminate this horrific culture.” The Trifecta of Imperialism
I was living in Germany when the wall came down and the Nato block/Warsaw pact negotiations took place. We lived and breathed those negotiations.
Many of us were appalled at the poor wording of the agreement.
Nato agreed to not move 1 inch East and they have breached that agreement continuously ever since.
Installing a puppet, neo-nazi government on Russia’s border reopens the mortal wound of 27 million Russians who died at the hands of fascism.
A Rubicon has been crossed and Nato has opened the doors of hell. Lay the blame at the feet of the aggressors NATO, not at the predictable response of a proud nation that will never forget nor forgive the slaughter of 20 + millions of their people.
As the dynamics unfold keep a wary eye out for more so called “False Flag’s” being used to justify military expansionism.
Let’s not forget than many of the Neo-Con nutcases believe in “The Rapture”, a strategy for dealing with or speeding up Runaway Abrupt Climate Change?

ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT: LET’S NOT SLEEPWALK INTO ANOTHER EUROPEAN WAR

This is a remarkably good analysis of what looks a lot like WW3 to me, with
some great cameos from Paul Craig Roberts and Mark Sleboda.
There is an embedded clip showing Victoria Nuland boasting about spending $5billion of the 2014 Ukraine coup. Beside her is a banner advertising Chevron, that was no coincidence. To quote George Carlin “The USA is an oil company with an army.”

Seven days after that interview of Major Ritter on that show out comes the latest western propaganda offering off of this very Democrat-leaning site.
They do pretty well with climate, or at least some of their members post really well researched ‘diaries’ on various aspects, but when it comes to Empire/war there isn’t much difference between the United States’ two extremely right wing corporate-owned political parties other than the Republicans wave the bible around more.

This is what Biden and the Democrats are feeding people, and it really sounds like Wbush and Cheney squealing about helping and liberating the ‘good’ Iraqi people fighting against the evil sadistic murderous dictator Saddam.
That the CIA put in power a few decades back. Like the US funding the Ukraine coup in 2014… Democrats are Republicans and Republicans are Democrats.
___
But just how well trained and experienced are all these new 100,000 ‘soldiers’ that are supposed to bravely march off into the meat-grinder for the TV actor/president and the glory of Ukraine? This guy tries to be so much like Reagan but, I must admit, he acts like a shitty actor just playing a part.
Which was what Reagan was all about!

Didn’t these German tanks, that, by the way, have a very visible Iron Cross on the side that will really bring back foul Nazi memories of WWII to the Russian natives in the Donbas and Lugansk) just get sent? So what trainees are going to take them to battling Russia in the supposed ‘Spring Offensive?’
And Ukraine has lost how many draftee-grabbed-off-the-street soldiers this last year alongside the decimated numbers of experienced veterans that aren’t mentioned much in the Western Media? It wasn’t that big a military in the first place, ya know? Do they have anybody who even knows how to fucking drive the things? Much less integrated well-trained units using all these new weapons NATO is shoving onto them.
Big sigh. Nothing I can change in this insanity up here, nothing you can do down there.

So this interview with Ritter is flat saying Ukraine is out of meat to throw into the grinder and damned soon reality is going to hit. Perhaps the Fascists will be putting Jr High kids in uniforms next?
As far as the US/NATO goes, these fucks like Gen. Milley obviously doesn’t give a damn about how many die in Ukraine, and if his entire speech in front of the Senate Armed Services was a fucking lie though it bolsters the US narrative, .
It really reminds me of Donald Rumsfelds upbeat talks about how the US is ‘winning’ in Iraq…
Ukraine folds, what does the US get out of it? What will it do? Or will the nukes start flying because the US needs to uphold the ‘freedom’ of Ukraine; and of course protect its ‘Empire’ image?
What a tangled web the powerful weave, eh?
