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
I'm an anti-imperialist, environmental activist and blue ocean sailor, who is passionate about the earth and all it's inhabitants without favour. Brace for imminent impact as we bare witness to the non-linear unraveling of the biosphere and habitability disappearing for most if not all complex life on the only habitable planet we know of.

What are the odds that Biden is going to change his stripes from the nasty piece of shit he was as a vicious war mongerer of a Senator in the 1990s? Rather unlikely at this point don’t you think?

Neo-Liberals to the right of me, Neo-Liberals to…the right of me because the Left is non-existent in this country (for the most part).
I find that sickeningly obvious in this country. A trillion dollars a year for war, Kevin. The insanity ramps up every single year.
The really sad part is that there is a huge population in this country that actually do ‘think’ (and I use that word knowing they really don’t) that the Democrats are actually lefties and radicals. Trump’s crowd of “I love the under-educated” who just have no idea what the term ‘critical thinking’ actually feels like. But they do know what ‘cognitive dissonance’ feels like…
We are on the brink my Kiwi friend, and with Harris publicly saying she will make the US military “the most lethal fighting force in the world” when she becomes president…but then she IS a conservative DA/cop who has never prosecuted a cop for any crimes of violence they committed. Which says much about her actual state of mind. Right-wing thinker.

Who is Zelensky drafting for the meat grinder at this point? They are going to run out of able-bodies young men at some point I’m guessing since so many of that age group got the hell out of the country wanting no part of this.
And with the Russian-training the North Koreans sent in support of Russia (that are supposedly heading to Ukraine soon)…
May we live in interesting times, eh?

This conflict has dragged on far too long. Ukraine was ALWAYS going to lose, there was no doubt about it UNLESS the US throws NATO into the fray. Then…we probably would all lose over the next few months of nuclear fallout.

There has been. Big Time!!
Look how many millions of soldier-aged men have departed Ukraine since the US paid the Fascists to stage the coup of the just-elected president. And Zelinsky is using up what’s left quite fast, isn’t he? The US will fight a proxy war against Russia to the last Ukrainian I expect.
And why does that statistic not surprise me? Because my anti-war activist stepmom was making plans on sending me to Canada back in 1970. I was NOT going to Vietnam in 1972 when I would become eligible where her baby brother had just been drafted and blown to pieces in the US Army…
The US is doing the same thing for the ‘zionists’ operating Israel that arguably the smartest man of the 20th Century Albert Einstein and a Jew denounced as terrorists decades ago.
And this country is one the precipice of putting Trump back in office. Or, to be honest, a neo-liberal right-winger Capitalist/ colonialist Fascist-lite Empire supporter just like Obama was.
And to make it even worse, she’s a career cop/DA who put many many minority black men in prison for possession, threatened jail to low-income parents in broken families if their kids ditched school, and a lot more what I’d call ‘unsavory’ conservative DA shit. And to top that off she recently publicly stated she would “make the US military the most lethal in the world.”
But she isn’t Donald Trump. So she may slow down the internal economic/political collapse of the US somewhat that Dumbass Donald will certainly do immediately. Bonus time, don’t ya know?
Poison is poison no matter how long it takes to kill you after you drink it, though. And the wealthy owners have been shoving it down our throats since this country was run by wealthy white slave-owning men who attacked (Agast!) their God-given (Blasphemy!) King (Traitors!) and invented this political system for their very own benefit.
And the US won’t even leave Cuba alone. 60 years later the US gov is STILL starving them out.
Big sigh.
Time for some tea and a bowl I think. The stress of potential chaos and violence literally in possibly starting up in days (it actually already has been happening sporadically in different areas of the country) means I have to disconnect because I can read it in my comment and need to!
