&lt;div&gt;The '''FIFA World Cup''' is a global [[soccer|association football]] ([[soccer]]) tournament held every four years since 1930 (except during the [[World War II]]).  Its scale as a global sporting event is challenged only by the [[Olympics]].  The Women's World Cup began in 1991, and has been played every four years since.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the current form, the final tournament is contested by 32 nations who, with the exception of the host nation, are required to qualify by beating others from their region in a preliminary tournament.  The current holders of the (men's) World Cup are Germany, who beat Argentina in the 2014 final in Brazil. [[Brazil]] currently holds the record for most wins, with 5.&lt;br /&gt;

Germany, officially known as the ''Federal Republic of Germany'', was referred to as '''West Germany''' during the division of the country from 1949 to 1990. On 3 October 1990, the two German states formally reunified when the German Democratic Republic, commonly known as '''East Germany''', joined the Federal Republic of Germany. The territory of the former East Germany were reorganized and became new federal states. The reunified Germany is not a new successor state; rather, it is the continuation of the Federal Republic of Germany, now encompassing the former East Germany as well. Thus, the reunification represents an extension of the existing state rather than the establishment of a new one.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Dominance by Christian Nations==&lt;br /&gt;
It is notable that strongly Christian nations have won every World Cup. Muslim teams, such as Iran, Saudi Arabia and Egypt,  have all failed at various world cups. It is also noticeable that as nations Christian ways have diminished, like Brazil's increasing acceptance of gay marriage, their performance has suffered also. In fact, Brazil have been the favorites for two of the last three tournaments and failed both times, while the truly Christian US have improved and other Christian nations have followed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another case in point is Spain, who were knocked out in 2006, were only able to win in 2010 after losing 1-0 in the first match and only winning by a goal in each of their four knockout matches and were beaten easily in the group stages in 2014.&lt;br /&gt;

The Donbas war atrocities and [[genocide]] had been largely ignored since 2014 by Western media because Donbas was not onboard with the [[globalist]] [[gay agenda]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.informationliberation.com/?id=62947&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky misplaced hope that [[NATO]] troops and air cover would defend his regime, and even traveled to [[Munich]], [[Germany]] in February 2022 to meet with [[the West]] as Ukrainian forces massed to attack the Donbas.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www-elethos-gr.translate.goog/2022/01/dpr-head-says-120000-ukrainian-troops.html?_x_tr_sl=el&amp;amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;amp;_x_tr_hl=en&amp;amp;_x_tr_pto=sc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Previously, in a rather sick joke Zelensky compared Ukraine to an adult film star, the implication as critics point out, Zelensky, in his own words, is pimping his nation in exchange for foreign cash.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/mvvYH6oCF54?t=4004&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russian incursion began under a collective security agreement to secure the lives and safety of the people of the Donbas, Zelensky is known to have used [[human shields]] in civilian areas similar to the tactics employed by [[Hamas]] in [[Gaza]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.opindia.com/2022/03/zelenskyy-regime-using-civilians-as-human-shields-against-advancing-russian-troops-asean-centre-expert-mgimo-uni/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky famously bit the hand that feeds him, saying that Western banks should be charged with war crimes.  He is a certified purveyor of [[fake news]] and war [[propaganda]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/02/28/pro-ukraine-propaganda-floods-social-media/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Aearnur, a substack author, summarized Zelensky's political career on the world stage: &amp;quot;he will appear as a historical footnote accounting for his brief rise and precipitous fall, almost [[Shakespeare]]an in its tragic nature but all to readily associated with the folly that comes with every theatrical farce.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://aearnur.substack.com/p/zelenskyy-the-months-ahead-and-the ZELENSKY, AUTHOR OF HIS OWN DEMISE… AND JUST POSSIBLY OF HIS ENTIRE NATION], Aearnur, Dec 11, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Winston Churchill Award winner.jpg|right|315px|thumb|'''Claim to Fame:''' The man considered by globalists and Western media as the &amp;quot;21st century Winston Churchill&amp;quot; playing ''Chopsticks'' on the piano with his sex organ.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky rode the support of the [[liberal media]] to come in first in all but one of Ukraine’s regions losing to [[Poroshenko]] in the western region of [[Lvov]]). Zelensky is a native Russian speaker who also speaks Ukrainian, is of Jewish descent, and supports closer relations with the West.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a media personality, Zelensky formed his own production company, Quarter 95. For the three years prior to being elected, Zelensky amassed wide exposure starring in a primetime satirical soap opera as the president of Ukraine, crusading against corrupt politicians who would appoint personal friends to high positions and had offshore bank accounts.  As president, Zelensky's first acts were to appoint friends to high positions.  According to an investigation by the Consortium of International Journalists called the Pandora Papers, rather than re-invest the profits of his television production company to employ people in Ukraine, Zelensky has offshore bank accounts to store the profits of his looting Ukraine through his production company even before his run for the presidency.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/C0JUpCrdG88&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky's rise to power with media mogul [[Ihor Kolomoisky]]'s support suggested that the Western-backed corrupt oligarchy would remain in control of Ukraine. [[Hunter Biden]] was hired by the oligarchs 7 weeks after the [[coup]].  Kolomoisky owns the bank through which payments to the [[Biden family]] were made and provided the funding for the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/465534-A-single-Ukrainian-billionaire-funded-Hunter-Biden-President-Volodymyr-Zelensky-and-the-neo-nazi-Azov-Battalion&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Under the Maidan regime, the country has become more impoverished with 50% of the population now living in poverty. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his made-for-TV series, ''Servant of the People'', by murdering other people's elected representatives, Zelensky somehow is cutting a path for the future of Ukrainian &amp;quot;democracy.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Globalism===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As an actor, comedian and soap opera star,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/qn7XVUOpllCH/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Zelensky closely aligned himself with Western globalists and was elected based on the support of a billionaire oligarch in Ukraine, Ihor Kolomoisky, whose media empire included Zelensky as a partner.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.britannica.com/biography/Volodymyr-Zelensky&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky's campaign consisted of doing comedy routines.  The election outcomes suggested that issues of ethnic and linguistic identity mattered less to voters than expected.  Not until after the Biden regime seized power were ethnic tensions renewed by globalist media and propaganda.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During his time as a comedian, Zelensky was making pro-Nazi jokes that had anti-Semitic and Russophobic content in which the majority of his audience was not laughing and did not seem comfortable.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2g-93j4ynA](Russian)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mass shooter Zelensky.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Zelensky playing the role of a psychotic killer in a [[Hollywood]]-inspired rage against [[democracy]] and mass shooting of the people's elected representatives in parliament.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/nsra8txvD8Y&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In a monologue to a comedy show aired April 12, 2014 shortly after the [[Maidan regime]] seized power, Zelensky read an imaginary letter to his family back home:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Good Day Uncle Igor, Aunt Valya and Uncle Sasha. Despite your fears, I can tell you that I live well as far as I live. Soon it will be even better. Because it's been three weeks since I was accepted into the [[Bandera]] community. That's normal, otherwise you can't make a career here in Ukraine. However, I don't have to tell you that, because you know it yourself. I don't get a salary, but that's not the most important thing. We have been allowed to take money and wealth from the Russians. In the past, this was also possible with the Jews. But then the top Bandera supporter Kolomoisky came and banned stealing money from the Jews.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For example, I'm learning [[English]] now, so as not to forget Russian. American [[mercenaries]], who are here for us every step of the way, help me. You know what? I got married for the second time, he is Wadik. For us [[European]]s this is quite normal. Today, our President, [[Barack Obama]], promised all the most important thing for us, that we will soon join NATO. For the time being, of course, we are the property of America. If it is possible, please send me [[Hitler]]'s book '[[Mein Kampf]]', because that's how everything is done down here. I take care of in the morning to go to the balcony and do morning exercises. From my heart to the sun, so. But I don't have to tell you, because you know it yourself.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/jIA-38WgpnQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.kla.tv/22511&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky has been accused of toxic masculinity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2022/03/26/maher_women_can_believe_masculinity_is_toxic_or_worship_zelensky_but_they_cant_do_both.html Maher: Women Can Believe Masculinity Is Toxic Or Worship Zelensky, But They Can't Do Both], Ian Schwartz, March 26, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  His comedy has been described as puerile, vulgar, and working class.  His mother is said to be ashamed of his chosen career as a comedian.  Zelensky performed at events for former President Viktor Yanukovych.  As a successful television producer, Zelensky purchased a 15 room villa in [[Tuscany]] which he never disclosed during the presidential campaign.  In 2012 ''[[Forbes]]'' reported Zelensky's net worth at $15 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Corruption===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Rinat Akhmetov and Leonid Kuchma.png|right|300px|thumb|Rinat Akhmetov and Leonid Kuchma.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/12/16/the-autumn-of-oligarchs-in-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/Za3iAdRjYQc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky has accumulated $1.2 billion in the Dresdner Bank Lateinamerika in [[Costa Rica]] during the two and a half years of his presidency. This money was transferred to the president by Ukrainian oligarchs, such as Rinat Akhmetov, Igor Kolomoisky, and [[Clinton Foundation]] donor [[Victor Pinchuk]]. Ilya Kiva, a member of the Ukrainian parliament, noted that replenishment is done regularly in tranches of $12 million to $35 million. And they go through banks like First Union Bank, Deutsche Bank, Banque Nationale de Paris. According to Kiva, the movement of such funds would be impossible without the control of the authorities of [[Germany]] and [[France]].  Kiva pointed out Zelensky was able to buy a villa in Sunny Isles, [[Florida]] built by Kolomoisky and Pinchuk for $34 million.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://shtf.tv/zelensky-found-a-billion-dollars-and-a-villa-in-miami/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to [[Alexei Arestovich]], Kiva was murdered by the [[Ukrainian gestapo]] in December 2023.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/O_Arestovich_official/4773&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky, like [[Joe Biden]]'s son [[Hunter Biden]], is [[addiction|addicted]] to [[cocaine]] and describes its use as &amp;quot;Awesome! Awesome!&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/Y6CGIO0d8Tue/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelnsky is regarded by Western media and governments as a role model. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Upon taking office, Zelensky declared, &amp;quot;Our first task is to stop the conflict in the Donbass, in order for our heroes to die. I'm ready for anything. I'm not afraid to make difficult decisions. I'm ready to lose my popularity and my ranking values. If it is necessary, I will be, without hesitation, ready to lose my office, just so that peace may come.&amp;quot;   A little while later Zelensky realized that his life, and the lives of his family, depends on the [[Pravy Sektor]], and Nazis with extreme views,. Shortly thereafter, he said: &amp;quot;Not all of the people representatives are people, there are also copies.&amp;quot;  Zelensky is reported to have received a British [[passport]] and citizenship in March 2022 so as to flee Ukraine at any given moment.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cmio.org/en/world/660051-representatives-of-zelenskys-office-received-british-citizenship-kiva-said&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to [[CBS News]], of the billions of dollars in NATO weapons pumped into Ukraine, only 30% made it to the front lines.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/v1f0qmr-cbs-news-exposes-ukraine-weapons-scam-30-maybe-reaches-its-final-destinatio.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In April 2023 [[Seymour Hersh]] reported on a meeting between the Ukrainian [[dictator]] and [[Biden regime]] CIA director [[William Burns]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|&amp;quot;Zelensky has been buying the fuel from Russia, the country with which it, and Washington, are at [[war]], and the Ukrainian president and many in his entourage have been skimming untold millions from the American dollars earmarked for diesel fuel payments....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The senior generals and government officials in Kiev were angry at what they saw as Zelensky’s [[greed]], so Burns told the Ukrainian president, because “he was taking a larger share of the skim money than was going to the generals”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Burns also presented Zelensky with a list of thirty-five generals and senior officials whose [[corruption]] was known to the CIA and others in the American government.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky responded to the American pressure ten days later by publicly dismissing ten of the most ostentatious officials on the list and doing little else.  “The ten he got rid of were brazenly bragging about the money they had—driving around Kiev in their new Mercedes”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://seymourhersh.substack.com/p/trading-with-the-enemy&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

The veteran comedian brought with him upon taking office in 2019 his entire media production crew, including script writers and other actors.  [[Alexei Arestovich]], another TV entertainer, was appointed as a military adviser and press spokesman.  Zelensky declared, &amp;quot;Our first task is to stop the conflict in the Donbass, for which our heroes died. I'm ready for anything. I'm not afraid to make difficult decisions. I'm ready to lose my popularity and my approval ratings. If it is necessary, I will be, without hesitation, ready to lose my office, just so that peace may come.&amp;quot;  A short time later Zelensky realized that his life, and the lives of his family, was dependent upon the Nazis, the people with extreme views from the Pravy Sektor. Shortly thereafter, he said: &amp;quot;Not all of the people representatives are people, there are also copies.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;A paraphrasing from the notorious 1943 Nazi tract quoted by Nazi leaders in Ukrainian, ''Der Untermenschen:'' &amp;quot;The subhuman is a biological creature, crafted by nature, which has hands, legs, eyes and mouth, even the semblance of a brain. Nevertheless, this terrible creature is only a partial human being. Although it has features similar to a human, the subhuman is lower on the spiritual and psychological scale than any animal.&amp;quot; [http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/holoprelude/deruntermensch.html]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Amongst a raft of casualties and desertions, as untrained soldiers were placed at the front in impossible and hopeless situations with no artillery or armor and given orders to fight on and not surrender, two members of the Servant of the People Party of which Zelensky is [[führer]] introduced a bill (No. 7351) allowing AFU officers to kill their own soldiers who refused to follow orders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/SWdge&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   On June 12, 2022 Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree allowing the Ukrainian command to use territorial defense fighters to perform tasks in areas of military operations.  Zelensky’s decree legalized sending untrained members of the Territorial Defense to the front as cannon fodder to face the professional Russian army.  Conscription in Ukraine amounted to kidnapping people off the street.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/7Vtu5iGUI8AI/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/VGvadFMbUts1/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the situation in Donbas deteriorated and Zelensky's stubborn resistance to allowing 15,000 soldiers to withdraw from the encirclement, rumors mounted of an imminent [[coup]] to remove the actor/comedian and replace him with Gen. [[Valerii Zaluzhnyi]] whom Gen. [[Mark Milley]] said of on May 23, 2022, &amp;quot;General Zaluzhny is the man behind that effort, bearing the immense burden of leading in combat. His work will be remembered by history.&amp;quot;  ''[[Time magazine]]'' named Zaluzhny one of its 100 Most Influential People of 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://time.com/collection/100-most-influential-people-2022/6177692/valeriy-zaluzhnyy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  ''[[Politico]]'' also offered words of praise for Zaluzhnyi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2022/04/08/ukraines-iron-general-zaluzhnyy-00023901&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council [[Oleksiy Danilov]] is reported to have backed Zaluzhnyi.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After a photoshoot with [[Vogue magazine|''Vogue'' magazine]], Zelensky sat down for an interview with [[Piers Morgan]]. Zelensky was asked about [[inflation]], which according to U.S. polls was the voters number one concern.  Zelensky said &amp;quot;inflation is nothing&amp;quot; and told Americans to suck it up and keep handing over cash and weapons in aid.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 15, 2024 Zelensky signed a bill legalizing &amp;quot;medical&amp;quot; marijuana.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.kyivpost.com/post/28151&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[Oles Buzina]] (also Buzyna), a prominent journalist and author who advocated for unity among Ukraine, Belarus, and Russia and campaigned to outlaw neo-Nazi organizing, was shot and killed near his apartment on April 16, 2015 by state-backed death squads after his name appeared on the [[Myrotvorets]] public blacklist of “enemies of the state”  list.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/ukraine-crisis/pro-russian-journalist-oles-buzina-shot-dead-kiev-masked-gunmen-n342661&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In June 2015, investigators accused Andriy Medvedko and fellow C14 member, Denys Polishchuk, of killing Buzina.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://reportingradicalism.org/en/dossiers/people/andrii-medvedko-prominent-c14-member-and-former-svoboda-party-official&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  During the Maidan coup C14 activists took over Kyiv’s city hall and plastered its walls with neo-Nazi insignia before taking shelter in the Canadian embassy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/canadian-embassy-used-as-safe-haven-during-ukraine-uprising-investigation-finds-1.3148719&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A March 2018 report by ''[[Reuters]]'' stated that “C14 and Kiev’s city government recently signed an agreement allowing C14 to establish a ‘municipal guard’ to patrol the streets.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-cohen-ukraine-commentary/commentary-ukraines-neo-nazi-problem-idUSKBN1GV2TY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  By offering to carry out acts of violence on behalf of anyone willing to pay, the C14 fostered a cozy relationship with various governing bodies and powerful elites across Ukraine.

In 2018, a C14 youth organizer, Serhiy Bondar, spoke at an event at America House Kyiv, a US government institution that describes itself as “your main resource in Ukraine for American culture, education, and information.”  This young fascist leader boasts of working with Kyiv police to “purge” a [[Gypsy]] homeless camp from a train station.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/RealAlexRubi/status/1498191420703883264&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

C14 is even more notorious than the Azov Battalion. The name is a direct reference to the [[white supremacist]] “14 words”, &amp;quot;&amp;quot;We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.&amp;quot;  C14 has also received funding from the Zelensky regime, in the form of a Ministry of Youth and Sport grant for “national-patriotic education projects.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://khpg.org/en/1528928862&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Since September 2019, Buzina's alleged killer Andriy Medvedko has served as a member of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NACB). In January 2020, he became a part of a working group on the 'rights and freedoms of veterans in prison', under the Ministry for Veterans Affairs. Denys Polishchuk, the other accused killer, heads the working group, which includes fellow C14 members Yevhen Karas and Oleksandr Voitko, as well as former lawmaker Oksana Korchinska. Karas has claimed that the SBU would “pass on” information citizens of the Donbas “not only [to] us, but also Azov, the Right Sector and so on.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20220129134515/https://news.liga.net/politics/interview/s14_kto_oni_i_pochemu_im_pozvoleno_bit_lyudey C14.

In December 2021, Zelensky presented fascist Pravy Sektor commander Dmytro Kotsyubaylo with the “Hero of Ukraine” award in the Ukrainian parliament.  The Pravy Sektor was deeply involved in the Maidan coup, the sniper murders of the &amp;quot;Heavenly Hundred&amp;quot;,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLKMoq61IN02VsItd-uIZKtJKrPxA4z1Q8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the burning alive of between 46 and 116 ethnic Russians in the Odessa Trade Unions House massacre,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ohchr.org/en/NewsEvents/Pages/DisplayNews.aspx?NewsID=16460&amp;amp;LangID=E&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and has killed thousands of ethnic Russian civilians in the [[Donbas]] since 2014.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/aaronjmate/status/1496308793810034688&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pravy Sektor is classified as a terror organization in Russia.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 5, 2022, nineteen days before the Russian incursion, Yevhen Karas appeared on television in Kyiv boasting of the influence his organization and other Nazi groups enjoy in Ukrainian politics.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/RealAlexRubi/status/1497747535783411714&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  “LGBT and foreign embassies say ‘there were not many Nazis at Maidan, maybe about 10 percent of real ideological ones,’” Karas remarked. “If not for those eight percent [of neo-Nazis] the effectiveness [of the Maidan coup] would have dropped by 90 percent.”  The 2014 Maidan “[[Revolution of Dignity]]” would have been a “gay parade” if not for the instrumental role of neo-Nazis, he proclaimed.  Karas went on to declare that [[the West]] armed Ukrainian ultra-nationalists because “we have fun killing.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky refers to native Russian speaking citizens of Ukraine a &amp;quot;species&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Volodymyr Zelensky, Justin Trudeau, and Chrystia Freeland applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the Waffen SS Galicia Division during a session of the Canadian Parliament September 24 2023.PNG|right|300|thumb|[[Volodymyr Zelensky]], [[Justin_Trudeau#Support_for_Nazism|Justin Trudeau]], and [[Chrystia Freeland]] applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the [[Waffen SS Galicia Division]] during a session of the Canadian Parliament, September 24, 2023.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In late September 2023 Canadian dictator [[Justin Trudeau]] and House of Commons Speaker Anthony Rota welcomed Zelensky to address the Canadian parliament. A former officer of the [[14th Waffen SS Galicia Division]] named Yaroslav Hunka was also invited to attend the address. Speaker Rota praised Hunka as a “Canadian hero” for fighting against the [[Soviet Union]], which was an ally of Canada, the United States, and the British Commonwealth during [[World War II]]. The [[Allies of World War II]], including Canada, were fighting the armed forces of [[Nazi Germany]], of which the Hunka and the [[14th SS Galicia Division]] were part. More than 45,000 Canadians were killed fighting Nazi forces. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former members of the 14th Galicia Division were still wanted in Ukraine, [[Poland]], [[Belarus]], [[Lithuania]], and the [[Russian Federation]] in 2023 for war crimes during the Second World War Nazi occupation. There is no [[statute of limitations]] for murder.  Many Ukrainian Nazi war criminals fled [[Europe]] after World War II and were resettled and granted citizenship in the [[UK]], Canada, and the United States.  After the German surrender to the Soviet Union in [[Berlin]] on [[Victory Day]], May 9, 1945, many of Ukrainian Nazis who did not flee Europe fought on against the Soviet Union until 1954, receiving covert aid from the [[CIA]] soon after the CIA's founding in 1947.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
International affairs analyst Dr. Andrew Korybko observed that in one fell swoop, Trudeau discredited himself as a so-called “champion of [[human rights]]”, while Zelensky proved beyond any doubt that an ethnic [[Jew]] can indeed glorify the Nazis’ [[genocidal]] allies despite having family who were murdered in the [[Holocaust]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://korybko.substack.com/p/jews-poles-and-russians-have-united Jews, Poles, &amp;amp; Russians Have United To Condemn Canada For Glorifying A Literal Nazi], ANDREW KORYBKO, SEP 25, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After being vetted to attend Zelensky's speech by the Canadian government and Trudeau's office, Hunta was introduced by the Speaker as a “Ukrainian-Canadian veteran from the Second World War who fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians” and received two extended standing ovations while Zelensky raised a clenched fist in solidarity.  To its credit, even ''[[Politico]]'' reported on the number of Jewish organizations that condemned the [[fascist]] ceremony.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.politico.com/news/2023/09/24/nazi-linked-veteran-ovation-zelenkyy-canada-visit-00117857 Nazi-linked veteran received ovation during Zelenskyy’s Canada visit], By KYLE DUGGAN, ''Politico'', 09/24/2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Hunta's family had [[tweet]]ed out days in advance that a separate private meeting had been arranged for Hunta to meet and speak privately with Trudeau and Zelensky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mark Sleboda, [https://marksleboda.substack.com/p/canadian-parliament-trudeau-and-zelensky Canadian Parliament, Trudeau &amp;amp; Zelensky Praise and Give Standing Ovation to West Ukrainian Waffen SS Veteran Who &amp;quot;Killed Russians&amp;quot;], Radio Interview on the Critical Hour 25/09/23.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Three weeks later, the Israeli government rejected Zelensky's request to visit [[Israel]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://insiderpaper.com/israel-rejected-zelensky-visit/ Zelensky denied visit to Israel], October 16, 2023. insiderpaper.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Liquidation of political opponents===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Truth of the Zelensky regime.PNG|right|300px|thumb|After posting a list of prominent people disappeared or murdered by the Zelensky regime,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.trendsmap.com/twitter/tweet/1507644195212824582&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  [[Gonzalo Lira]] himself was disappeared from [[Kharkiv]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Anabel_Villeroy/status/1516131041672638464&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In November 2021, Zelensky appointed Oleksandr Poklad to head the SBU’s [[counterintelligence]]. A former lawyer and cop with ties to organized [[crime]], Poklad is nicknamed “The Strangler” –  a reference to his favorite method of obtaining testimony from his victims.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2021/12/02/ze-doveril-kontrrazvedku-sbu-gestapovcu-xxi-veka-po-klichke-dushitel&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The SBU functions as Zelensky's gestapo organization.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.donbass-insider.com/2022/03/10/sbu-the-terrible-ukrainian-political-police-assassinations-and-torture/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU} closely collaborates with neo-Nazi groups including Right Sector, Azov, and C14, which was contracted by the Ukrainian government to conduct street patrols.  Several mayors and other Ukrainian officials were killed since the Russian incursion by Ukrainian state agents after engaging in de-escalation talks with Russia forces to protect civilians and infrastructure in their communities.  The SBU hunted down local officials that accepted humanitarian relief supplies from Russia or negotiated with Russian forces to arrange humanitarian corridors for civilian evacuations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a March 19, 2022 [[executive order]], Zelensky invoked martial law to ban 11 opposition parties. Max Blumenthal and Esha Krishnaswamy characterized the outlawed parties as &amp;quot;the entire [[left-wing]], [[socialist]], or anti-NATO spectrum in Ukraine.&amp;quot;  They included the For Life Party, the Left Opposition, the Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Union of Left Forces, Socialists, the Party of Shariy, Ours, State, Opposition Bloc and the Volodymyr Saldo Bloc.  Openly fascist and pro-Nazi parties like the Azov National Corps were left untouched by the presidential decree, however.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The following is a very brief, partial list posted by independent Chilean/American journalist [[Gonzalo Lira]], of prominent Ukrainian citizens who were disappeared under Zelensky. Gonzalo Lire himself was [[disappeared]] on April 15, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Vlodymyr Struk, pro-Russian mayor kidnapped and murdered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2022/03/03/pro-russian-mayor-of-ukrainian-city-kidnapped-killed/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*Dmitri Djangirov, Ukrainian journalist, political expert, political scientist arrested.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Scott Ritter]], whom Lira interviewed four days before his abduction, wrote about how people can respond to injustice: &amp;quot;we can call out Zelensky’s “cursed machine” for the [[crime]]s it is committing every day in defense of a perverted vision of Ukrainian nationalism that has mainstreamed the odious ideology of [[Nazi Germany]], giving voice to its [[hate]]-filled logic, and empowering its minions to silence the voices of those who, like Gonzalo Lira, dared speak truth to power.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freepress.substack.com/p/what-russians-know-422&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Anti-democratic decrees===&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky declared martial law, armed neo-Nazi and criminal gangs,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/8ohZv5w59uHt/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and his secret police, the [[SBU]], began arrests and liquidations of political opposition.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/466876-One-less-traitor-Zelensky-Oversees-Campaign-of-Assassination-Kidnapping-And-Torture-of-Political-Opposition&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On March 20, 2022 Zelensky announced a ban on 11 political parties, including parties with sitting members of [[parliament]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theepochtimes.com/zelensky-announces-ban-on-11-political-parties_4349682.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  but not the Nazi organizations.  &lt;br /&gt;
Additionally, the fascist [[dictator]] eliminated all independent media and consolidated all information flow into one government controlled television platform.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/citing-martial-law-ukraine-president-signs-decree-combine-national-tv-channels-2022-03-20/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] was asked to comment on Zelensky's initiative to confiscate the property and assets of persons supporting a [[special military operation]] to liberate oppressed people in Ukraine and similar measures taken by a number of other Western countries. &amp;quot;The confiscation of [[private property]] from individuals for their political beliefs is a flagrant violation of the principles of [[democracy]] and the [[market economy]],&amp;quot; Zakharova said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Wartime leader - Best Actor===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Donbas war}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Zelensky receives the best actor reward.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Zelensky receives the Best Actor Award.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky betrayed his campaign promises of reform and meaningful progress to implement the [[Minsk Agreements]] and resolve the Donbass stalemate, leading to a rapid decline in popular support.  He maintains power in Ukraine by a campaign of intimidation and terror conducted by the secret police.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 24, 2021, Volodymyr Zelensky issued a decree for aggressive action against Crimea, and began to deploy his forces to the south of the country. At the same time, several NATO exercises were conducted between the [[Black Sea]] and the [[Baltic Sea]], accompanied by a significant increase in reconnaissance flights along the Russian border. Russia then conducted several exercises to test the operational readiness of its troops.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Things calmed down until October-November with the end of the ZAPAD 21 exercises, whose troop movements were interpreted as a reinforcement for an offensive against the Ukraine. However, even the Ukrainian authorities refuted the idea of Russian preparations for a war, and Oleksiy Reznikov, Ukrainian Minister of Defense, states that there had been no change in Russian troop levels on its border since the spring of 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In violation of the Minsk Agreements, Ukraine was conducting air operations in Donbas using drones, including at least one strike against a fuel depot in [[Donetsk]] in October 2021. The American press noted this, but not the Europeans; and no one condemned these violations of international peace agreements.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Number-of-Explosions-in-Donbass-19-20-February-2022.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2022, events were precipitated. On February 7, during his visit to Moscow, [[Emmanuel Macron]] reaffirmed to Vladimir Putin his commitment to the Minsk Agreements, a commitment he would repeat after his meeting with Volodymyr Zelensky the next day. But on February 11, in [[Berlin]], after nine hours of work, the meeting of political advisors of the leaders of the “Normandy format” ended, without any concrete result: the Ukrainians still refused to apply the Minsk Agreements, apparently under pressure from the United States. [[Vladimir Putin]] noted that Macron had made empty promises and that the West was still ignoring the agreements, as it had been doing for eight years.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[India]]n geopolitical researcher Amit Sengupta characterized Zelensky and his relationship with the U.S. this way:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Zelinsky turned out to be an American stooge who literally destroyed his own country in the name of [[democracy]]. I've seen a lot of people saying that Zelensky is fighting for its country. What you need to understand is that this is not the right way of fighting for your country. This is a rebellious way of fighting. A smart and visionary leader looks for an alternative way of solving this matter. What Zelensky is doing, he is acting like a passive aggressive teenager, and America is continuously supplying weapons from behind. America is adding more fuel to the chaos.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/eRDIWQCjBBE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The U.N. Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights concluded on June 29, 2022 that Zelensky used civilians as [[human shields]] when Ukrainian soldiers took up firing positions, effectively making the civilian infrastructure legitimate military targets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/07/10/un-human-rights-report-shows-ukraine-military-used-nursing-home-residents-as-human-shields/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In his 2023 New Year's Eve message to the nation, Volodymyr Zelensky referred to Russians as &amp;quot;non-humans&amp;quot;, twice for emphasis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ukrainianworldcongress.org/address-by-president-volodymyr-zelensky-dec-31-2022/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former parliamentary opposition leader [[Viktor Medvedchuk]], whom Zelensky jailed and was released to the [[DNR]] in POWS swap, saidm “The country was plunged into a fire for the inflated ego of this man,” adding,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Today, the West flatters him at every opportunity. What luck! A ruler who would destroy his country for a photo op, boost his ratings on the blood and suffering of his citizens. Zelensky slaughtered law and stability for the sake of applause and posturing.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Operation Denazification====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|NATO war in Ukraine}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Volodymyr-Zelenskyy-Minister-of-Defense-selfie.jpg|right|300ox|thumb|Volodomyr Zelensky (right) poses with Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov for a selfie during the Siege of Kyiv, February 27, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/02/27/peace-talks-possible-between-russia-and-ukraine-as-magnificently-defiant-zelenskyy-stands-atop-the-alamo-of-kyiv-taking-selfies/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Reznikov was fired in February 2023 in a [[kickback]] scandal related to US aid and Ukraine defense spending. Because of Reznikov's utility to the Americans and Zelensky, he was rehired by the end of the week.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky proposed Ukraine obtain nuclear weapons.  When Vladimir Putin announce the Special Military Operation in Ukraine, Putin referenced the fact that Ukraine was run by a gang of drug-addicts and neo-Nazis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/putin-calls-ukraine-government-drug-172802290.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the night of February 25-26, 2022 Volodymyr Zelensky sent a ceasefire proposal to Russia via the [[Chinese]] embassy in Kyiv. The [[Kremlin]] immediately responded by setting out its conditions:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nexusnewsfeed.com/article/geopolitics/zelensky-prepared-to-surrender/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*arrest of all Nazis ([[Dmitro Yarosh]] and the [[Azov Battalion]], etc.)&lt;br /&gt;
*removal of all street names and destruction of monuments glorifying Nazi collaborators during the [[Second World War]] ([[Stepan Bandera]], etc.),&lt;br /&gt;
*laying down of weapons.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
10 days after the incursion, a French reporter asked Zelensky how his life had changed since the intervention of Russian troops in the Donbas war. Zelensky replied,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Today, my life is beautiful. I believe that I am needed. I feel it is the most important meaning in life – to be needed. To feel that you are not just an emptiness that is just breathing, walking, and eating something. You live.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-R4sh2z0EM&amp;amp;t=3426s&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Critics were horrified by the response. Analyst Natylie Baldwin noted, &amp;quot;this construction is alarming: it implies that Zelensky enjoys the unique opportunity to perform on a global stage provided by the war. It made his life beautiful; he lives. In contrast to millions of Ukrainians whose life is not nice at all and thousands of those who are not alive any longer.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/29/ukraine-the-real-zelensky/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the [[2022 Russia-Ukraine conflict]] to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine, Zelensky said in a televised address that Kyiv has been left to fend for itself as [[NATO]] is &amp;quot;afraid&amp;quot; to give it any guarantees.  &amp;quot;I asked them -- are you with us?  They answered that they are with us, but they don't want to take us into the alliance.  I've asked 27 leaders of [[Europe]], if Ukraine will be in NATO, I've asked them directly -- all are afraid and did not respond.  We were left by ourselves. Who is ready to go to war for us? Honestly, I don't see anybody. Who is ready to give Ukraine guarantees of NATO membership? Honestly, everybody is afraid.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nationalheraldindia.com/international/ive-asked-27-leaders-of-europe-all-are-afraid-ukraine-president&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In accordance with NATO rules, a country having territorial disputes cannot be admitted to the bloc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In response to the commencement of [[Operation Denazification]] Zelensky handed out military grade weapons to neo-Nazi criminal gangs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/JDPlatinumINVST/status/1498418936932622337&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{See also|2022 Istanbul peace negotiations}}&lt;br /&gt;
''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in May 2022 on Boris Johnson's unannounced surprise visit to Kyiv shortly after Russia and Ukraine had reached a peace settlement in their talks in [[Istanbul]].  The Russians had agreed to withdraw to the pre-February 2022 borders and Zelensky would implement the [[Minsk Accords]]. ''Ukrainska Pravda'' reported in essence what Johnson told Zelensky according to sources close to the Ukrainian dictator:&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Zelensky and Boris.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Zelesnky and BoJo.  Boris Johnson sabotaged peace efforts between Russia and Ukraine in April 2022.  Tens of thousands of Ukrainian solders died needlessly in the following months.]]&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SBU raids chuch.PNG |right|300px|thumb|Gestapo raid on the Kiev-[[Pechersk Lavra]] monastery, the preeminent center of Christianity since 1051 A.D.  Other raids were carried out on the Cyril and Methodius Convent in Transcarpathia, and in Rovno, Vinnitsa, and Zhitomir oblasts looking for &amp;quot;Russian spys&amp;quot; and propaganda.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thedreizinreport.com/2022/11/25/dreizin-retires/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;if Ukraine is ready to sign some agreements on guarantees with Putin, they [the UK and US] are not. Johnson’s position was that the [[Western alliance|collective West]], which back in February had suggested Zelenskyy should surrender and flee, now felt that Putin was not really as powerful as they had previously imagined, and that here was a chance to &amp;quot;press him.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/western-allies-led-uks-johnson-sabotaged-tentative-ukraine-russia-peace-deal&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Prime Minister Boris Johnson visits Ukrainian troops training in North Yorkshire.jpeg|left|300px|thumb|Boris Johnson posing with Ukrainian special forces. Most were killed in an unsuccessful NATO raid on the [[Zaporozhye nuclear power plant]].]]&lt;br /&gt;
On October 13, 2022 Russian foreign minister Sergey Lavrov said at a press conference:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We sat at the negotiating table with the Ukrainian delegation until the end of March [2022], when an approach to a settlement on the principles suggested by the Ukrainians at the time had been harmonised in [[Istanbul]].  These principles suited us for that moment but the talks were stopped by direct order from Washington and London.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This conflict is overrun with [[Anglo-Saxon]]s that fully control the Vladimir Zelensky regime. The Poles and people from the Baltics are trying to fit in on their team.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since then the Ukrainian President has said many times that he is not going to hold talks with the Russian Federation under President Vladimir Putin. Recently, he codified this ban in law. We have never sought negotiations. The Istanbul round completed the process started at Ukraine’s request. Russia positively reacted to the proposal to enter a dialogue, but its initiators cut it off with a shout from overseas or London.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We are hearing statements by [[White House]] representative John Kirby, my colleague Antony Blinken and other members of the US administration. They are saying that they are completely open to talks with the Russian Federation, that they favor a political settlement of the current situation in Ukraine but Russia (the “troublemaker”) is rejecting proposals to establish contact. I can say straight away that this is a lie. We have not received any serious proposals to establish any such contact. There were some attempts that were not very serious, but we didn’t reject them, either. Instead, we suggested that they formulate specific proposals. Some people made them to us by proxy but in this case, we didn’t receive any clear explanations from anyone, either. No need to lie. We were taught in a kindergarten then lying is bad. Apparently, American kindergartens are not so advanced as they were in the [[Soviet Union]] and are now in Russia.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Escalation====&lt;br /&gt;
On June 1, 2022 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister [[Sergey Ryabkov]] told ''RIA Novosti'' news that Biden's decision to arm Ukraine with [[HIMAR]] missile launchers increases the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and the United States.  Foreign secretary [[Blinken]] said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's transgender chief propagandist [[Alexei Arestovich]] immediately threatened, &amp;quot;[[Crimea]] is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/468500-US-to-allow-Ukraine-to-decide-range-of-missiles-Kiev-threatens-to-strike-Crimea-should-the-need-arise?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council [[Dmitry Medvedev]] retorted, “If those types of weapons are used against the territory of Russia, the armed forces of our country will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers...It is obvious what those decision-making centers are: the defense ministry, the general staff and so on...But it should be understood that, in this case, the ultimate decision-making centers are regretfully not even on the territory of Kiev.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1459891&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Anchor|Tornado Battalion}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Releasing criminal psychopaths====&lt;br /&gt;
According to a July 11, 2022 report in Ukrainian media, Ruslan Onishenko, commander of the now-disbanded '''Tornado Battalion''' from the early [[Donbas war]], was freed as part of Zelensky’s scheme to release prisoners with combat experience. Along with an unwavering commitment to fascism, Onishenko is known as a [[psychopath]]ic [[sadist]] who was involved in sexually assaulting children, brutally torturing prisoners, and murder.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://focus.ua/uk/amp/ukraine/521825-osuzhdennyy-za-pytki-byvshiy-kombat-tornado-onishchenko-vyshel-na-svobodu-eks-nardep&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Onishenko’s release follows a February 27, 2022 order by Zelensky to free other convicted former Tornado members like Danil “Mujahed” Lyashuk, a fanatic from Belarus who has openly emulated [[ISIS]] and boasted of torturing captives for sheer enjoyment. According to Zelensky‘s decree, prisoners with combat experience would be allowed to “compensate for their guilt” by fighting in the “hottest spots.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10559879/Zelensky-reveals-prisoners-combat-experience-RELEASED-help-defend-Ukraine.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Battle of Bakhmut====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Battle of Bakhmut}}&lt;br /&gt;
Just as [[der Führer]] of the [[Third Reich]], [[Adolf Hitler]] did during the [[Second World War]], [[Zelensky]] ordered that there be no Ukrainian retreat from the frontline city of [[Bakhmut]], giving no solution to a hopeless situation for the Ukrainian military.  Ukrainian officers ensured that by blowing up the one bridge providing an escape route to Slavyansk, Ukrainian soldiers could not retreat.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''[[Newsweek]]'' spoke with 'former' U.S. Colonel Andrew Milburn who, together with 'volunteers', trained Ukrainian soldiers: &amp;quot;They've been taking extraordinarily high casualties,&amp;quot; Milburn said of the units training with the American Mozart PMC. &amp;quot;The numbers you are reading in the media about 70 percent and above casualties being routine are not exaggerated.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.newsweek.com/wagner-group-targeting-volunteers-ukraine-mozart-group-russia-andy-milburn-1765321&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A unit with 50% casualties is usually no longer able to fight and withdrawn from combat. But Zelensky left the units on the frontline until nearly nobody was left in them.&lt;br /&gt;

Morale fell among Ukrainian forces. A viral video addressed to Gen. Zaluzhny and President Zelensky narrated by a Ukrainian soldier stated:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I want to send my greetings to AGETHA [[Zaluzhny]] and to our President.  How is it going? Are they warm where you are?

In the month of February 2023 the Ukrainians lost about 11,000 men in Bakhmut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.easternherald.com/2023/03/07/prigozhin-said-wagner-pmc-killed-11000-uaf-militants-in-bakhmut-in-february/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  During the fall of Bakhmut, where Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky sent thousands of untrained 16-year-olds, middle-aged fathers, and old men, forcibly pressed in service of the [[Kiev regime]] to die senselessly as cannon fodder, [[Germany]]’s top newspaper ''Bild'' reported that Zelensky had a major disagreement with his top general [[Zaluzhny]] regarding the withdrawal, or lack thereof, of Bakhmut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2023/03/why-bakhmut-is-falling.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Gen. Zaluzhny had argued for months to abandon Bakhmut and end the slaughter, however Zelensky did not want to give the appearance to his Western puppet masters that Ukraine was losing ground while he was begging for money before the [[U.S. Congress]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/ukraine-praesident-streitet-mit-general-ueber-die-blutigste-schlacht-des-krieges-83106290.bild.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Apparently to do damage control, Zelensky quickly released a video statement claiming that it was in fact the general staff (Zaluzhny and [[Syrsky]]) who advised him to defend and reinforce Bakhmut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/KNTMCWdfONAR/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the encirclement closed in an [[AFU]] forces in early March 2023, the Russian forces allowed untrained, conscripted 16-year-olds and elderly men pressed into service by the [[Zelensky regime]] to escape without being killed or captured via the last remaining escape route out of Bakhmut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/NmzuuWMsm1k&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; 10,000 Ukrainian troops were said to be trapped in the cauldron.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://youtu.be/zg6HpuW8OYU Russia Claims Bakhmut Cauldron 10k Troops Trapped; West Media Admits Ukraine Losses, Blames Zelensky], Alexander Mercouris, March 6, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Simon Schuster of [[TIME magazine]] reported on the grim Führerbunker stage of the conflict in late October 2023:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://simplicius76.substack.com/p/time-magazine-profile-depicts-grim TIME Magazine Profile Depicts Grim Führerbunker-Stage of Zelensky's Conflict ], Simplicius the Thinker, November 2, 2023. simplicius76.substack.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The usual sparkle of his optimism, his sense of humor, his tendency to liven up a meeting in the war room with a bit of banter or a bawdy joke, none of that has survived into the second year of all-out war. “Now he walks in, gets the updates, gives the orders, and walks out,” says one longtime member of his team. Another tells me that, most of all, Zelensky feels betrayed by his [[Western alliance|Western allies]]. They have left him without the means to win the war, only the means to survive it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But his convictions haven’t changed. Despite the recent setbacks on the battlefield, he does not intend to give up fighting or to sue for any kind of peace. On the contrary, his belief in Ukraine’s ultimate victory over Russia has hardened into a form that worries some of his advisers. It is immovable, verging on the messianic. “He deludes himself,” one of his closest aides tells me in frustration. “We’re out of options. We’re not winning. But try telling him that.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We’re not moving forward,” says one of Zelensky’s close aides. Some front-line commanders, he continues, have begun refusing orders to advance, even when they came directly from the office of the President. “They just want to sit in the trenches and hold the line,” he says. “But we can’t win a war that way.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When I raised these claims with a senior military officer, he said that some commanders have little choice in second-guessing orders from the top. At one point in early October [2023], he said, the political leadership in Kyiv demanded an operation to “retake” the city of [[Horlivka]], a strategic outpost in [[eastern Ukraine]] that the Russians have held and fiercely defended for nearly a decade [sic].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;The Russians did not enter the civil conflict until February 24, 2022. [[Gorlivka]] was held by the [[Donbas]] militia since July 2024. Even in this first, mostly accurate report on the real situation in the Ukraine war, Western media [[propagandist]]s still cannot break their instinctive habit of deliberate misrepresentations and outright lies to inform Western readers about Russia and the situation on the front.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The answer came back in the form of a question: With what? “They don’t have the men or the weapons,” says the officer. “Where are the weapons? Where is the artillery? Where are the new recruits?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://time.com/6329188/ukraine-volodymyr-zelensky-interview/ ‘Nobody Believes in Our Victory Like I Do.’ Inside Volodymyr Zelensky’s Struggle to Keep Ukraine in the Fight], BY SIMON SHUSTER, OCTOBER 30, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Alexander Mercouris of ''The Duran'' also gave an insightful review of the ''TIME'' magazine piece.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://youtu.be/rVcvizqrjvQ?t=3637 Israel Operation Gaza; UN BRICS versus US; Zelensky Deluded, Ukr Defeated, Ukr Troops Demoralised], Alexander Mercouris, November 1, 2023.

&lt;br /&gt;
On November 9, 2023 Zelensky commented on the multiple [[geopolitical]] crisis engulfing the planet:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Looking at all these wars, looking at all the crises not only Ukraine, but in [[Africa]], in the [[Middle East]]...Sometimes I am looking at these and think that the best way if this [[planet]] will be the planet of [[dog]]s...Sometimes I don’t understand [[people]], really.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://news.yahoo.com/zelenskiy-hopes-planet-dogs-solve-180258493.html Zelenskiy hopes for &amp;quot;planet of dogs&amp;quot; to solve world's crises], November 8, 2023, ''[[Reuters]]''. yahoo.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
American journalist Yves Smith observed in nakedcapitalism.com, &amp;quot;What is striking about the current state of play is not simply that Ukraine is losing the war with Russia, and it’s just a matter of time before Russia dictates terms, but that the Ukraine government is acting in ways that benefits the Russian military, to the destruction of what is left of its [[society]] and [[economy]]”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/ukraine-end-game-putin-medvedev-discuss-maps-putting-kiev-menu Ukraine End Game: Putin and Medvedev Discuss Maps, Putting Kiev on the Menu], Yves Smith, November 20, 2023. www.zerohedge.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; By late November 2023 it appeared that NATO’s [[proxy war]] on Russia was winding down faster than expected with major [[MSM]] outlets like the [[BBC]], ''[[Politico]]'', the ''[[Washington Post]]'', and the ''[[Financial Times]]'' all becoming very critical of Ukraine and Zelensky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://thealtworld.com/andrew_korybko/natos-proxy-war-on-russia-through-ukraine-appears-to-be-winding-down NATO’s Proxy War On Russia Through Ukraine Appears To Be Winding Down], ANDREW KORYBKO, 22 NOV 23. thealtworld.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A poll by ''[[The Economist]]'' showed Zelensky's approval rating down to 32% while [[Gen.

Zelensky and Western propagandists claimed the Russians were firing on themselves to create a nuclear hazard.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/b28sN1tcbgI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky repeatedly ordered his troops to fire on the Zaporozhye nuclear facility, while publicly blaming Russian forces for creating a nuclear threat, in the hopes of gaining sympathy from the West in the form of money and material and direct NATO or UN peacekeeper intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 4, 2022 Zelensky and his officials claimed that Russian tanks were shooting at nuclear units at the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant (NPP) located in the town of Energodar.  Zelensky branded it “nuclear terrorism.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10575179/Russian-troops-fire-Ukrainian-civilians-protecting-Europes-largest-nuclear-plant.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  He previously claimed the Russian capture of Chernobyl posed an imminent threat to “the whole of Europe.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F3ec679e8-79b3-42dd-a1c3-a31f4c177e97_720x560.jpeg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  But that was untrue as well.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1496895177499156509&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zapaorozhye was different, though. Here was the largest nuclear power plant in Europe.  “Russian tanks are shooting at the nuclear blocks. These are tanks equipped with thermal imagers, so they know what they are aiming at,” Zelensky said. “Only immediate action by Europe can stop Russian troops. Do not allow the death of Europe from the catastrophe at the nuclear power plant.”  ''Korrespondent'', one of Ukraine’s biggest newspapers, reported that, according to Zelensky, he had discussed the situation with Joe Biden, German Chancellor [[Olaf Scholz]] and the head of the European Council, Charles Michel. Ukrainian prime minister Denys Shmyhal also called on NATO to create a no-fly zone and “close the skies” over the facility. “It is a question of security of the whole world.” An unidentified Ukrainian official said radiation levels had risen in the area.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20220304025346/https://korrespondent.net/ukraine/4453959-obstrel-zaes-zelenskyi-pryzval-evropu-prosnutsia&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the ''Associated Press''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-a3092d8e476949ed7c55607a645a9154&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and ''Reuters'',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/ukraine-nuclear-reactors-being-safely-shut-down-us-energy-official-2022-03-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-nuclear-plant-radiation/radiation-level-unchanged-at-zaporizhzhia-nuclear-power-plant-ria-idINL2N2V704S&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; they lied.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mark Nelson, managing director at Radiant Energy Fund, noted that Zelensky’s claims were deliberately misleading.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/energybants/status/1499573995657646106&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Canadian nuclear arms expert Claire Wählen said the same.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/Claire_Wahlen/status/1499552935470149652&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  So dangerous was this lie that the U.S. State Department sent out an urgent message to all American embassies in Europe, instructing them to not share a tweet by the U.S. Embassy in Kiev claiming that Russia was trying to blow up the nuclear power plant.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F515d16ed-dadb-41ec-a376-2d4c25969552_720x1006.jpeg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The fact that there was fighting around the facility suggests that the Ukrainian military had deliberately engaged Russian troops from that location. Combat footage appears to show Ukrainian forces firing rockets from the nuclear power facility, which reportedly sparked return fire from Russian troops.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/ClintEhrlich/status/1499589355513417733&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A training center over a mile away from the 6 nuclear reactors were set on fire in the Russian response.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ekWRes-pAD4&amp;amp;t=442s&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 12, 2022 the AFU again targeted the Zaporozhye nuclear plant. Russian forces have been in control of the plant, with Ukrainian technicians still operating it, since February 2022.  The nuclear plant is the largest in Europe with six reactors.  The attack was complex, involving drone and artillery fire.  The Ukrainian Army used six kamikaze drones conducting reconnaissance mission over the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant and the city heating and water supply plant in Energodar. The UAV (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) dropped two mines near the power plant, which reportedly did not cause any significant damage. Another drone was heading in the direction of residential buildings in Energodar, its course may have been corrected. The UAV attack was thwarted, none of the six drones reached their targets, and the air defense of the Zaporozhye region successfully prevented the attack.  The Ukrainians earlier launched a false flag attack against the plant in March 2022. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 18, 2022 Ukraine again attacked the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant, this time with three kamikaze drones.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/S7lEXNC_O80&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/OkuFVXm1V25q/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Beginning on August 5, 2022 the 44th brigade of the AFU stationed in Nikopol, 18 kilometers across the Dnieper River, increased shelling of the Zaporozhye nuclear plant.  Kiev forces used a British-made Brimstone missile in one of the attacks.  The situation was compounded by HIMAR attacks on the hydroelectric plant at the Nova Kakhovka dam, which provides electricity for the nuclear plant's vital cooling system.  The political motive for shelling a nuclear power is reported to be motivated by upcoming referendums in September 2022 for the former Ukrainian oblasts of Zaporozhye and Kherson to join the Russian Federation.  The Kyiv regime is attempting to intimidate the local population.  Russia asked the [[Atomic Energy Commission]] to look into the matter.&lt;br /&gt;

In March 2022 Russia accused Ukraine of gathering nuclear waste from the [[Chernobyl disaster site]] for use in a [[nuclear dirty bomb]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.india.com/news/world/what-is-nuclear-dirty-bomb-that-russia-claims-ukraine-is-making-in-chernobyl-5271056/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On October 19, 2022 UK defense minister Ben Wallace flew to [[Washington, D.C.]] to discuss an important matter face-to-face with unknown persons that could not be handled over NATO's regular electronic secure communications.  Neither Washington nor the UK defense ministry issued a press release on the substance of the discussions.  On October 21, Russian defense minister Sergey Shoigu had his first phone call with US defense minister [[Lloyd Austin]] since May 2022.  According to the Russian Ministry of Defense read out on the call, the two &amp;quot;discussed issues of international security, including the situation in Ukraine.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 23, 2022 at 1:30 PM [[Moscow]] time it was reported that Russian defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his [[France|French]] counterpart his concerns about possible provocations by Ukraine with the use of a nuclear dirty bomb.  At 2:46 PM local time another update from the Russian Ministery of Defense (MOD) reported that defense minister Shoigu conveyed to his [[Turkish]] counterpart his concerns about a possible provocation with the use of a dirty bomb.  At 5 PM local time there was a third conversation between the Russian defense minister and the minister of defense of the [[United Kingdom]] about the possible provocation by Ukraine with a dirty nuclear bomb.  At 6:30 PM local time there was a final conversation between Shoigu and the Biden minister defense.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian media reported that according to credible sources in various countries - including in Ukraine - the [[Kyiv regime]] is preparing a provocation on its territory related to the detonation of the so-called &amp;quot;[[dirty bomb]]&amp;quot; or low-yield [[nuclear weapon]].  The purpose of the provocation is to accuse Russia of using [[weapons of mass destruction]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://seemorerocks.is/what-russian-media-is-saying/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, Volodymyr Zelensky has been in contact with the [[UK]] &amp;quot;to obtain nuclear weapons technology,&amp;quot; Lieutenant-General Igor Kirillov, Chief of the Radiation, Chemical and Biological Protection Troops of the Russian Armed Forces said on October 23, 2022. Gen. Kirillov alleged that the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) plan on using a [[false flag]] provocation to detonate a &amp;quot;dirty bomb,&amp;quot; a nuclear weapon with explosives, such as dynamite, with [[radioactive]] powder or pellets. The provocation was being prepared to subsequently accuse Russia of using weapons of mass destruction. &amp;quot;We have information about the contacts of the office of the President of Ukraine with representatives of [[Great Britain]] regarding the possibility to obtain a [[technology]] to build nuclear weapons,” Gen. Kirillov said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/zelenskyy-contacted-uk-to-obtain-nuclear-technology-claims-russias-defence-ministry-articleshow.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Ukraine missile attack on Poland====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:FT Zelensky.jpg|right|300px|thumb|The globalist mouthpiece ''Financial Times'' of London, which led the world in spreading Russophobia and cheerleading for war, openly criticized Zelensky's lying about Ukraine's false flag attack on a NATO ally to incite direct NATO involvement with troops and risk global thermonuclear war.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-open-thread-2022-201.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
On November 15, 2022 two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian [[cruise missile]], were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians.  The Polish government, Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia.  Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&amp;amp;t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky on a video call to [[G20]] summit leaders meeting in [[Indonesia]] told them that the attack was deliberate by Russia and that the missiles were a “true statement brought by Russia for the G20 summit.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.armstrongeconomics.com/international-news/ukraine/zelensky-the-liar-he-will-be-remembered-by-history-like-hitler/ Zelensky the Liar – He Will Be Remembered by History like Hitler], by Martin Armstrong, November 16, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky tweeted to the world that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant escalation” of the conflict.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR aircraft (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the Kyiv regime had launched the missiles.  That did not prevent an anonymous &amp;quot;senior U.S. intelligence official&amp;quot; from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/11/16/how-a-lightly-sourced-ap-story-almost-set-of-world-war-iii/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its CIA counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When called out on the [[lie]]s, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down.  Both socialist premier Joe Biden and NATO chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg blamed Ukraine for the attack.  Zelensky refuted the Western leaders' statements that the missile which killed two innocent civilians in Poland was Ukrainian. &amp;quot;I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/16/7376663/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Zelensky insisted that he received reports from the corrupt Armed Forces of Ukraine command that told him &amp;quot;the missile attacks did not come from Ukraine&amp;quot;, he told the people in a live nationwide address on Ukrainian state-controlled media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/yY4pBNt3hPU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   The Russophobic ''Financial Times'' of London quoted a [[diplomat]] from a NATO country in Kyiv saying: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the missile.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/mxQ5K#selection-2029.34-2029.282&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Mr Zelenskyy has made many Ukrainian people suffer.&amp;quot; Mori criticized Japanese news outlets, saying their &amp;quot;one-sided&amp;quot; reporting on the NATO war in Ukraine gives the impression they &amp;quot;only rely on reports from Europe and the United States.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://japantoday.com/category/politics/ex-japan-pm-harsh-on-zelenskyy-over-war-in-ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Tens of billions of dollars in American Military Aid to Ukraine, which was allegedly to be used to fight [[Russia]], was cash that [[Ukraine]] did not use to fight Russia, but instead invested into FTX [[cryptocurrency]] exchange.  Ukraine was receiving money from the US, Ukraine sent it to FTX, and FTX sent it to Democrats, who originally voted to send it to Ukraine. It appears to be pure [[criminal]] [[money-laundering]], and a criminal [[conspiracy]] to violate [[campaign finance]] laws.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The CEO of FTX, [[Sam Bankman-Fried]], was the #2 donor to the [[Democrats]] in the [[2022 Midterm elections]], second only to [[George Soros]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-ceo-of-cratering-crypto-firm-ftx-is-dems-second-largest-donor-behind-soros&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
FTX's [[bankruptcy]] filing on November 12, 2022 revealed that FTX suffered from $10-$50 billion in [[liability|liabilities]] with almost zero assets. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among those liabilities are “investments” made by the [[Zelensky regime]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Up until its bankruptcy filing, FTX was a 'partner' with the [[World Economic Forum]] (WEF).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creativedestructionmedia.com/investigations/2022/11/14/world-economic-forum-removes-ftx-promotion-as-a-partner-from-its-website/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The FTX [[CEO]]'s aunt, Linda Fried, is on the board of the WEF.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creativedestructionmedia.com/investigations/2022/11/14/ftx-founders-aunt-on-board-of-world-economic-forum-dem-super-pac-leadership/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Sam Bankman-Fried's mother, Barbara Fried, is the founder and president of a [[left-wing]] Super PAC called ‘Mind the Gap’ (MTG), &amp;quot;dedicated to helping Democratic political candidates win [[election]]s. The PAC earns millions of dollars in donations primarily from [[Silicon Valley]] executives 'who are keen on quietly funneling massive political donations into the [[Democratic Party]]'. The mission of MTG is to “empower private political donors to strengthen our democracy by providing them with evidence-based guidance on the electoral strategies, tactics, and programs that are likely to achieve the greatest impact in a given election”, according to Influence Watch.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.influencewatch.org/political-party/mind-the-gap/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Bankman-Fried’s brother, Gabe runs an organization called Guarding Against Pandemics, which is financed by Sam Bankman-Fried.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.influencewatch.org/non-profit/guarding-against-pandemics/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In July 2022 Zelensky's Western [[agent handling|intelligence handler]] [[Boris Johnson]] was ousted as prime minister of [[UK]].  Soon thereafter, Ukrainian-born U.S. congresswoman [[Victoria Spartz]] urged Zelensky to fire his [[chief of staff]] [[Andrei Yermak]] for corruption.  Western delivered arms had been disappearing without ever making it to the frontlines,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/oZGOUDGZn1FL/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; including Javelin missiles, British NLAWs, and German Panzerfausts.  A French built CEASER self-propelled artillery piece was sold to allied Russian forces for $120,000 as were US built HIMARs for $800,000.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Accusations of &amp;quot;[[zrada]]&amp;quot; flew, and Zelensky attempted to fire Gestapo chief [[Ivan Bakanov]], a childhood friend and television comedy producer, and chief procurator Iryna Venediktova. Kyiv news reports had to walk back the firings as mere suspensions, then the parliament acted to remove the pair as scapegoats related to all the corruption charges.  In early June 2022, a former deputy of Bakanov was detained in [[Serbia]], as he tried to illegally transfer emeralds, 600 thousand [[euro]]s and 125 thousand dollars across the border.  Shortly before the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Bakanov and his friend left Ukraine with $2 billion dollars in cash. In May 2022 Bakanov and his deputy were still buying real estate in Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition to the removal of Bakanov and Venediktova, an additional 651 criminal cases were launched.  A missile strike at the Officers’ House in Vinnitsa while Ukrainian and foreign military officials held negotiations resulted in a large group of high-ranking officers of the Ukrainian Air Force were destroyed. Apparently, the strike led to casualties among the foreign officers, and Kyiv was forced by its western partners to punish top security officials who were responsible for the [[leak]] of information.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The deputy head of the security service [[Vasily Malyuk]] was appointed as the new acting chief of the Security service.  Chief of staff Yermak, alleged to be a Russian operative however, survived the firings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://spartz.house.gov/media/press-releases/spartz-president-zelensky-must-address-yermak-issue&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the wake of revelations of attempts to bribe Russian pilots to convince them to defect, which involved bellingcat.com owner Christo Grozev, Zelensky fired first Deputy Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Ruslan Demchenko and commander of Special Operations Forces (SSO) Hryhoriy Halahan. Danchenko was replaced with Viktor Horenko.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''[[The Economist]]'' reported on November 1, 2023:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“General Zaluzhny’s assessment is sobering: there is no sign that a technological breakthrough, whether in drones or in [[electronic warfare]], is around the corner. And technology has its limits. Even in the [[first world war]], the arrival of [[tank]]s in 1917 was not sufficient to break the deadlock on the battlefield. It took a suite of technologies, and more than a decade of tactical innovation, to produce the [[German]] [[blitzkrieg]] in May 1940. The implication is that Ukraine is stuck in a long war—one in which he acknowledges Russia has the advantage. Nevertheless, he insists that Ukraine has no choice but to keep the initiative by remaining on the offensive, even if it only moves by a few metres a day.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://consortiumnews.com/2023/11/07/is-an-end-game-in-sight-for-ukraine/ Is an End Game in Sight for Ukraine?], By Tony Kevin, ''Consortium News'', November 7, 2023. consortiumnews.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

====Hunt for fall guys====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Disagreements between Zelensky and the command of the Ukrainian army over the conduct of military operations became apparent. In particular, the military reportedly believed that it was necessary to retreat on several fronts, while Zelensky insisted that no retreats were possible. As a result, the Armed Forces of Ukraine suffered heavy losses in manpower on the front lines.  As the situation deteriorated, the hunt for fall guys to blame the loss on ensued.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Poroshenko CNN 2.2m views.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Zelensky had [[CNN]] Nazi darling [[Petro Poroshenko]] arrested while Poroshenko was on his way to a meeting with NATO leaders on May 28, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.yahoo.com/video/former-ukrainian-president-stopped-polish-085100277.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Suffering heavy losses on the front lines, the Kiev regime attempts to stop the outflow of civilians who can be conscripted into the military.  The Ukrainian General Staff declared a ban on leaving their place of residence for men of military age without the permission of the military enlistment office during the period of martial law.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 5, 2022 a bill was submitted to parliament clarifying the procedure for the departure of conscripts and reservists from their place of residence within Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 26, 2023 it was reported that Zelensky fired Major General Eduard Moskalyov, Commander Joint Forces of Ukraine with no reason given.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/zelenskiy-fires-top-ukrainian-military-commander-no-reason-given-2023-02-26/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Moskalyov was said to be the fall guy for Zelensky's disastrous leadership and decision to keep feeding human lives into the [[Bakhmut meatgrinder]] when he knew all was lost.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the fall of the [[Bakhmut meatgrinder]] where Zelensky sent thousands of untrained 16-year-olds, middle-aged fathers, and old men to die senselessly as cannon fodder, [[Germany]]’s top newspaper ''Bild'' reported that Zelensky had a major disagreement with his top general [[Zaluzhny]] regarding the withdrawal, or lack thereof, of Bakhmut. Gen. Zaluzhny had argued for months to abandon Bakhmut and end the slaughter, however Zelensky did not want to give the appearance to his Western puppet masters that Ukraine was losing ground while he was begging for money before the [[U.S. Congress]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bild.de/politik/ausland/politik-ausland/ukraine-praesident-streitet-mit-general-ueber-die-blutigste-schlacht-des-krieges-83106290.bild.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Apparently to do damage control, Zelensky quickly released a video statement claiming that it was in fact the general staff (Zaluzhny and [[Syrsky]]) who advised him to defend and reinforce Bakhmut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/KNTMCWdfONAR/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====The Great Purge====&lt;br /&gt;
In mid-January 2023 CIA director [[William Burns]] travelled to Kyiv for a secret meeting with Ukrainian dictator Vladimir Zelensky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/5Z3qz&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Prior to Burns arrival, the SBU and Department of the Interior had already put a bullet in the back of the head of Zelensky’s top negotiator with Russia, Denys Kiryeyev.  Shortly after Dir. Burns left Kyiv, on the morning of January 18, 2023 a helicopter crashed in the town of Brovary in the eastern outskirts of Kiev region, killing the entire leadership of the Department of the Interior.  According to the State Emergency Service of Ukraine, killed in the crash were Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Denis Monastyrsky; First Deputy Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yevhen Enin; State Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Yuriy Lubkovich; Deputy Head of the Patronage Service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine Tatiana Shutyak; Head of the Department of Protection of the Department of Internal Security of the National Police of Ukraine, Colonel Mikhail Pavlushko; Lead Inspector of the Department of Communications Nikolay Anatsky; Senior Operative of the Department of Internal Security of the Police of Ukraine Andriy Marinchenko; helicopter commander Alexander Vasilenko; pilot Konstantin Kovalenko; and on-board mechanic Ivan Kasyanov.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2023-01-18-the-ministry-of-internal-affairs-of-ukraine-published-a-list-of-employees-of-the-ministry-who-died-in-a-helicopter-crash.HkeiifFBso.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The helicopter was a French built Eurocopter EC225 LP Super Puma or its equivalent.

[[File:Budanov.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Kyrylo Budanov.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://kurtnimmo.substack.com/p/ukraines-intelligence-boss-predicts&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine had long been aware that the leadership of the Ministry of Defense was trading Western arms, which came to Ukraine in the form of aid, for the benefit of third countries, and that this process was overseen directly by the head of the [[GUR]], [[Budanov]]. By the way, this information has already surfaced somewhere.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The leadership of the Interior Ministry wanted their share and began collecting data through their structural units, which are associated with intelligence and surveillance. As a result, they managed to obtain evidence and began blackmailing. The military bosses promised a share to the police leadership, and the first tranche was paid. But it was pointless and unprofitable to pay any further.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, the insolence of the minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had his head in the wrong place, was putting the military leadership under strain. And now the day had come when the kids from the GUR were able to demonstrate their skills. But that is not all. The sanction for this was given personally by [[Yermak]], who is also in on the secret from the supreme narcissistic clown, Zelensky.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sonar21.com/are-the-ukrainian-political-elite-starting-to-eat-each-other/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On January 24, 2023 the Kyiv regime confirmed the removal of some dozen high ranking officials in cases ranging from [[bribery]], to mismanagement of aid funds for purchasing [[food]], to [[embezzlement]], to spending aid money on expensive cars.  Another top presidential adviser and four deputy ministers – including two defense officials, along with five regional governors were forced out of their posts. And among the regional governors to step down included officials overseeing regions which have seen intense fighting, including the [[Zaporozhye]] and [[Kherson]] regions. Among those removed were:&lt;br /&gt;
*Deputy Prosecutor General Oleskiy Symonenko&lt;br /&gt;
*Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Ivan Lukeryu&lt;br /&gt;
*Deputy Minister for Development of Communities and Territories Vyacheslav Negoda&lt;br /&gt;
*Deputy Minister for Social Policy Vitaliy Muzychenk&lt;br /&gt;
*The regional governors of Dnipropetrovsk, Zaporizhzhia, Kyiv, Sumy and Kherson.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And separately, “the defense ministry had earlier announced the resignation of deputy minister Vyacheslav Shapovalov, who was in charge of the army’s logistical support, on the heels of accusations it was signing food contracts at inflated prices.”  He purchased military rations at inflated prices in what appears a scheme to line the pockets of contractors, and potentially involving kickbacks to himself.  ''[[Politico]]'' reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;An exposé from the Ukrainian news website ZN.UA revealed last week that the defense ministry purchased overpriced food supplies for its troops. For instance, the ministry bought eggs at 17 hryvnias per piece, while the average price of an egg in Kyiv is around 7 hryvnias. According to ZN.UA, a contract for food procurement for soldiers in 2023 amounted to 13.16 billion hryvnias (€328 million).}}&lt;br /&gt;
This was two to three times higher than current rates for such food items. &lt;br /&gt;

The deputy head of the Zelensky administration Kyrylo Tymoshenko, who stands accused of living a lavish wartime lifestyle. Many [[mainstream media]] reports buried some of the key verified details. For example, [[BBC]] wrote simply that “Tymoshenko was implicated in several scandals during his tenure, including in October last year when he was accused of using a car donated to Ukraine for humanitarian purposes.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
But starting in early December local Ukrainian outlets, angered at the posh lifestyle of Ukrainian leaders at a moment tens of millions are without electrical power, began confirming that Tymoshenko drove high-end sports cars in and out of the capital, to and from mansions which typically range in cost from $10,000 to $25,000 per month.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The controversy extended to luxury vacations abroad as Ukrainians suffer the deprivations of war at home. “The departure of Symonenko, a deputy prosecutor general, comes after media reports that he spent a holiday in Spain this winter, reportedly using a car belonging to a Ukrainian businessman.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just prior to the wave of resignations, another official named Vasyl Lozynskiy was accused of receiving bribes to “facilitate” the purchase of generators at greatly hiked-up prices. Crucially, Lozynskiy as Deputy Minister of Infrastructure and Communities Development would have also been directly involved in overseeing how billions of dollars in Western humanitarian and infrastructure assistance gets doled out. Ukraine’s Defense Minister Oleksii Reznikov is under scrutiny related to the growing probe and scandal.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 1, 2023 it was reported that Zelensky had turned on his old friend and benefactor [[Igor Kolomoisky]].  Kolomoisky's home was raided by the Ukrainian gestapo allegedly in connection with the embezzlement of oil products worth $1.09 billion and customs duty evasion &amp;quot;of astronomical amounts.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dossier.substack.com/p/zelenskys-great-purge-continues-launching&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Seymour Hersh]], citing sources in American intelligence, claims that Zelensky and his entourage allegedly embezzled at least $400 million from the funds that were transferred to Kyiv by the Americans for the purchase of [[diesel]].  &amp;quot;Zelensky bought diesel fuel from the Russians at a discount,&amp;quot; Hersh said.  He also claims that CIA director William Burns brought to Kyiv a list of 35 names of Ukrainian security officials and officials allegedly involved in corruption and theft of Western aid. After that, 10 people from this list were fired, the remaining 25 remained.  &amp;quot;The ten that got rid of were blatantly showing off the money they had as they drove around Kiev in their new Mercedes,&amp;quot; Hersh said, quoting an intelligence official.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://askeptic.substack.com/p/battlefield-update-2023-04-12-1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Propaganda war===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Zelensky fake news.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Zelensky in combat: These photos were taken a year before the Russian incursion and used as propaganda to claim Zelensky was commanding troops on the frontline. In fact, the Nazis that Zelensky was visiting laughed at him, causing him to eventually take a harder line against Russia. Zelensky was reported to have left the border area in tears after being ridiculed by the Nazis. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On November 18, 2022 it was reported that Zelensky blocked and shut down the popular opposition news website Strana.ua after it posted videos showing Ukrainian troops executing unarmed Russian prisoners of war.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russias-defence-ministry-says-ukraine-executed-russian-pows-2022-11-18/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/society/1539031?ysclid=laockgpyya491087733&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://t.me/ghostnewsx/2728&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Alleged bombing of Babi Yar====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 1, 2022 Zelensky claimed that Russians had bombed [[Babi Yar]], a ravine in Kyiv that was also the site of massacres committed by Nazi forces and Ukrainian collaborators during [[World War II]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/ZelenskyyUa/status/1498697538085568514&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Some 33,771 [[Jewish]] civilians were murdered by the Nazis and their Ukrainian collaborators from Kyiv there. Zelensky’s chief of staff reportedly confirmed that the Russians bombed the site.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/LahavHarkov/status/1498686224462188549&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky's tweet has more than 300,000 likes and over 75,000 retweets.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 2, Israeli journalist Ron Ben Yisha reported after touring the site that the memorial had not been destroyed or damaged, as Zelensky and his officials claimed. Translated from the Israeli news website ynet:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The memorial site in Babi Yar was neither destroyed nor damaged. After touring all over the large site I can report with certainty that no monument was damaged and no bomb, missile or shell hit the grounds. The closest impact to Babi Yar was in the Kiev media and television tower complex, about 300 meters from the new monument, and about a kilometer from the old monument &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;to the victims of the WWII massacre.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ynet.co.il/news/article/sky0frhg5&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky and his officials lied to the world. Worse, their lie suggested that all those who chose inaction were essentially collaborators in the next [[holocaust]].&lt;br /&gt;

According to Dan Cohen, the Washington DC correspondent for ''Behind The Headlines'', on March 16, 2922, Zelensky made a speech to the [[U.S. Congress]] quoting [[Martin Luther King Jr.]]'s 'I Have a Dream'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/politics/zelenskyy-addresses-congress-mlk-dream-need&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; speech calling for a no-fly zone over Ukraine and World War III.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2022/03/06/us-warns-no-fly-zone-in-ukraine-could-set-off-world-war-iii/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The speech was written by Daniel Vajdich &lt;br /&gt;

On December 21, 2022 Zelensky was flown to [[Washington, D.C.]] onboard [[Airforce One]] by the Biden regime for a personal address to the [[lame duck]] Congress just prior to a vote on an unprecedented $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill that included another $45 billion for the Kyiv puppet regime. Zelensky was presented an American flag in a display case usually reserved for  flags that have draped caskets.&lt;br /&gt;

====Azovstal====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Battle of Mariupol}}&lt;br /&gt;
Like Chancellor [[Adolf Hitler]] of Germany during the besieged [[Battle of Stalingrad]], President Zelensky refused to allow the neo-Nazi forces of the [[Azov Battalion]] in [[Mariupol]] to surrender and ordered them to fight to the last man.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/zelensky-defies-russian-demands-surrender-putin-ukraine-war-mariupol-b989416.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|April 10 at 11:06 PM  · Mariupol, Ukraine  · &lt;br /&gt;
Dear Ukrainian people.&lt;br /&gt;
We are the 36th Navy Brigade named after the counter-admiral Mikhail Bilinsky, left Crimea without betraying the oaths of 2014 and continued to perform the duty of defense of Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
From the beginning of the exit we have been defending Mariupol for 47 days. We were bombed from airplanes, we were shot from artillery, tanks and other firematerials. We kept the defense worthy by doing the impossible. But any resources have a potential to run out.&lt;br /&gt;
During the combat, we were once handed 50 122 guns, 20 min a little enlavs and [[starlink]] [[Elon Musk]] - spybo Elon, he had a lot of air strikes and still works. We have not been handed over any more. Without the possibility of defending themselves, the opponent gradually pushed us to the Azovmash plant, surrounded the fire and now is trying to destroy us. There was an option to bring us reserves to strengthen and boost the defense. There were options for the brigade to make a breakthrough and join their troops. We reported this to OTU East and they started planning the operation. Sodol, Delatitsky tried to do something, but their senior headquarters were closed. We reported about it in the OOS they said hold on we are working, promised a helicopter that never flew. We talked to the [[commander in chief]] who promised to unblock. We talked with a Garantee who guaranteed us either a political or military solution of the situation. For more than a month, the Marines fought without refilling ammunition, without food, without water, almost a lacquer from the puddle and died in packs. The mountain of wounded makes up almost half of the crew. Those who have unbroken limbs and can walk, return in order. Infantry all died and gunfighters are led by gunmen, zenitich, contacts of the driver and the police. Even an orchestra. Dying but fighting. Gradually we are coming to an end. Wise generals advise taking ammunition from your enemy. Probably not extinct these Sava parquettes, so many people will die for them in vain. There were chances. There were opportunities, but due to the silliness, they were not implemented. No one wants to communicate with us anymore because we are written off. Today will probably be an extreme fight since there is no BC left. Next up into the palm of the hand. Further is death for some, but captivity for some.&lt;br /&gt;
Dear Ukrainian people.&lt;br /&gt;
I don't know what's next, but I really ask you to remember the Marines with a kind word and no matter how they develop further, do not talk badly about the Marines.&lt;br /&gt;
They did everything possible and impossible.&lt;br /&gt;
For we are FAITHFUL FOREVER!}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Zelensky totenkopf.png|right|300px|thumb|On Victory Day 2022, Zelensky commemorated the victory over Nazism by uploading an image of a Ukrainian soldier wearing insignia of the Waffen SS Totenkopf Division responsible for numerous horrendous mass murders and war crimes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepressunited.com/updates/ukraines-zelensky-shares-image-of-soldier-with-nazi-insignia/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;According to the content of the radio intercepts, the commanders of the armed formations remaining at Azovstal, realizing the hopelessness of their situation, are ready to lay down their arms, but only on the appropriate order (command) from Kyiv. Without receiving such an order, the commanders of the Ukrainian armed formations cannot make a decision on their own, since a military tribunal with a sentence, up to and including execution, awaits them for these actions in Ukraine.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/04/20/sitrep-operation-z-april-20-2022/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to testimony, the command of the 36th Brigade gave an order to fire on both military and civilians, which members refused. Zelensky ignored the pleas of the 36th Naval Brigade holed up in the Azovmash factory next door to Azovstal.  The Brigade surrendered to the Russian and [[DNR]] forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Zelensky celebrates Nazism on Victory Day====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky marked World War II [[Victory Day]] [[Moscow]] celebrations in 2022 by sharing an image of a Ukrainian soldier wearing the ‘death’s head’ patch of the notorious Nazi Waffen SS Totenkopf division. While the picture was soon deleted from his social media, the Ministry of Defense in Kyiv also posted the same photo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The offending item was placed on Instagram and Telegram by Zelensky, on Victory Day, May 9, 2022. In it, a soldier next to an artillery gun wears the ‘death’s head,’ or “totenkopf” insignia of the 3rd SS Panzer Division, a unit of SS soldiers infamous for committing numerous [[war crimes]] and massacres of French civilians and Polish Jews. The Division also murdered 100 British citizens in France.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bitchute.com/video/2mZbwarX3lds/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Advocacy groups consider the death’s head logo a “hate symbol” used by “Neo-Nazis and other white supremacists.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.adl.org/education/references/hate-symbols/totenkopf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

President Trump phoned Volodymyr Zelensky to congratulate him on his electoral win.  Three days before the call, ''[[The Washington Post]]'' published an article entitle, ''As vice president Biden said Ukraine should increase gas production. Then his son got a job with a Ukrainian gas company.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/the-media/2020/01/30/washington-post-wrote-about-hunter-biden-burisma-3-days-before-ukraine-call/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Trump mentions &amp;quot;a lot of people are talking about it&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;a lot of people want to know&amp;quot;.  The conversation took place the day after [[Robert Mueller]] cleared President Trump of any wrongdoing before Congress.  The Poroshenko regime installed by the [[Obama administration]] in [[Maidan coup]] was defeated in [[parliamentary]] elections four days earlier.  The transcript of the phone call reads:&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|'''The President:''' I would like you to do us a favor though because our country has been through a lot and Ukraine knows a lot about it. I would like you to find out what happened with this whole situation with Ukraine, they say [[Crowdstrike]]… I guess you have one of your wealthy people… The server, they say Ukraine has it. There are a lot of things that went on, the whole situation. I think you’re surrounding yourself with some of the same people. I would like to have the Attorney General call you or your people and I would like you to get to the bottom of it. As you saw yesterday, that whole nonsense ended with a very poor performance by a man named [[Robert Mueller]], an incompetent performance, but they say a lot of it started with Ukraine. Whatever you can do, it’s very important that you do it if that’s possible.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''President Zelenskyy:''' Yes it is very important for me and everything that you just mentioned earlier. For me as a President, it is very important and we are open for any future cooperation. We are ready to open a new page on cooperation in relations between the United States and Ukraine. For that purpose, I just recalled our ambassador from United States and he will be replaced by a very competent and very experienced ambassador who will work hard on making sure that our two nations are getting closer. I would also like and hope to see him having your trust and your confidence and have personal relations with you so we can cooperate even more so. I will personally tell you that one of my assistants spoke with Mr. Giuliani just recently and we are hoping very much that [[Rudy Giuliani|Mr. Giuliani]] will be able to travel to Ukraine and we will meet once he comes to Ukraine. I just wanted to assure you once again that you have nobody but friends around us. I will make sure that I surround myself with the best and most experienced people. I also wanted to tell you that we are friends. We are great friends and you Mr. President have friends in our country so we can continue our strategic partnership. I also plan to surround myself with great people and in addition to that investigation, I guarantee as the President of Ukraine that all the investigations will be done openly and candidly. That I can assure you.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''The President:''' Good because I heard you had a prosecutor who was very good and he was shut down and that’s really unfair. A lot of people are talking about that, the way they shut your very good prosecutor down and you had some very bad people involved. Mr. Giuliani is a highly respected man. He was the mayor of New York City, a great mayor, and I would like him to call you. I will ask him to call you along with the Attorney General. Rudy very much knows what's happening and he is a very capable guy. If you could speak to him that would be great. The former ambassador from the United States, the woman, was bad news and the people she was dealing with in the Ukraine were bad news so I just want to let you know that. The other thing, There's a lot of talk about Biden's son, that [[Biden]] stopped the prosecution and a lot of people want to find out about that so whatever you can do with the Attorney General would be great. Biden went around bragging that she stopped the prosecution so if you can look into it... It sounds horrible to me. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''President Zelenskyy:''' I wanted to tell you about the prosecutor. First of all I understand and I'm knowledgeable about the situation. Since we have won the absolute majority in our Parliament, the next prosecutor general will be 100% my person, my candidate, who will be approved by the parliament and will start as a new prosecutor in September. He or she will look into the situation, specifically to the company that you mentioned in this issue. The issue of the investigation of the case is actually the issue of making sure to restore the honesty so we will take care of that and will work on the investigation of the case. On top of that, I would kindly ask you if you have any additional information that you can provide to us, it would be very helpful for the investigation to make sure that we administer justice in our country with regard to the Ambassador to the United States from Ukraine as far I as I recall her name was Ivanovich. It was great that you were the first one who told me that she was a bad ambassador because I agree with you 100%. Her attitude towards me was far from the best as she admired the previous President and she was on his side. She would not accept me as a new President well enough. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
'''The President:''' Well, she's going to go through some things. I will have Mr. Giuliani to give you a call and I am also going to have [[William Barr|Attorney General Barr]] call and we will get to the bottom of it. I'm sure you will figure it out. I heard the prosecutor was treated very badly and he was a very fair prosecutor so good luck with everything.}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[Alexander Vindman]] is a Ukrainian nationalist born in Soviet Ukraine who immigrated to the United States as a child.  Vindman harbors rabid anti-Russian and fanatical pro-Ukrainian sentiments.

This happened only twenty-four hours after the joint press conference, Macron and Zelensky, when it was claimed that Ukraine would start with the implementation of the agreements. Of which the decision on war and peace directly depended.“&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tellerreport.com/news/2022-02-23-ambassador-antonov--washington-encouraged-kiev-not-to-comply-with-the-minsk-agreements.H1GTFmQ7ec.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Addressing the 2022 World Economic Forum (WED), Zelensky said,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Although there is a rather good and long history between Ukraine and China, I would like to have an advantage in these relations compared to Russia.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ukrinform.net/rubric-polytics/3491830-zelensky-ukraine-is-fine-with-chinas-position-on-war-with-russia.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Hungarian]] Parliament Speaker Laszlo Kover said of Zelensky's personal conduct in diplomacy: “I can’t recall when a leader of a country in need of help would dare to speak out against anyone in a fashion like President Zelensky did, not only against Hungary, but even against the German Chancellor...One should threaten enemies, not those you want to make your friends…There is some kind of personal mental problem, and I don’t know what can be done about it.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://serbia.postsen.com/world/8310/You-know-a-donkey-&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early June 2022 the weekly news magazine ''[[Der Spiegel]]'' reported that Germany does not trust Zelensky: “The fear that German weaponry could be sent into Russia highlights a certain distrust in Berlin of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky…And that, too, is a reason why the defense industry in Germany has not been authorized to deliver battle tanks”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepressunited.com/updates/germany-doesnt-trust-zelensky-der-spiegel/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 2023 Zelenski and [[Viktor Orbán]] were present in [[Javier Milei]]'s inauguration in [[Argentina]] and they both discussed about [[Putin]] during the event. Milei has close ties to Zelenski, Orbán, [[Trump]] and with [[Israel]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Criticism==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Swiss]] MP and former editor-in-chief of the ''Tribune de Genève'', Guy Mettan, painted a portrait of the acrobat who plays the role of president of Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.voltairenet.org/article217403.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; He shows how this public entertainer became an ally of the [[Banderist]]s and set up a dictatorship for them. Western media and leaders no longer know what superlatives to use to sing the praises of the Ukrainian president, so fascinated are they by the “amazing resilience” of the comedian miraculously transformed into a “warlord” and “saviour of democracy”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since February 24, 2022 Volodymyr Zelensky has unquestionably proved himself to be an exceptionally talented artist in international politics. Those who had followed his career as a comedian were not surprised because they knew his innate sense of improvisation, his mimetic abilities and his audacity in acting. The way he campaigned and defeated tough opponents like former president Poroshenko in a few weeks between 31 December 2018 and 21 April 2019, mobilizing his production team and generous oligarch donors, had already proved the extent of his talents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He was elected with a score of 73.2% of the votes, promising to put an end to corruption, to lead Ukraine on the path of progress and civilization, and above all to make peace with the Russian-speaking Donbass. As soon as he was elected, he betrayed all his promises with such untimely zeal that his popularity rating fell to 23% in January 2022, to the point of being outdistanced by his two main opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
From May 2019, to satisfy his oligarch sponsors, the newly elected president is launching a massive land privatisation programme covering 40 million hectares of good agricultural land under the pretext that the moratorium on land sales would have cost the country’s GDP billions of dollars. In the wake of the “de-communization“ and “de-Russification“ programs begun since the pro-US coup of February 2014, he is launching a vast operation of privatization of state assets, fiscal austerity, deregulation of labor laws and dismantling of trade unions, angering a majority of Ukrainians who had not understood what their candidate meant by “progress”, “westernization” and “normalization“ of the Ukrainian economy. In a country that, in 2020, had a per capita income of 3,726 dollars against 10,126 dollars for the Russian opponent, while in 1991 the average income of Ukraine exceeded that of Russia, the comparison is not flattering.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As for the march towards civilization, it will take the form of another decree which, on 19 May 2021, ensures the domination of the Ukrainian language and bans Russian from all spheres of public life, administrations, schools and businesses, much to the satisfaction of the nationalists and the astonishment of the Russian-speaking people in the south-east of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Zelensky Kolomoisky.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukrainian dictator [[Vladimir Zelensky]] (center) meets with Kolomoisky, September 10, 2019.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://covertactionmagazine.com/2022/07/20/how-corrupt-is-ukrainian-president-volodymyr-zelensky/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Zelensky’s main sponsor, Ihor Kolomoïsky, who lives in Geneva where he has luxurious offices overlooking the harbour, is not the least of these oligarchs who profit from the prevailing corruption: on March 5 2021, [[Anthony Blinken]], who probably had no choice, announced that the State Department had frozen his assets and banned him from the United States because of “involvement in significant corruption“. It is true that Kolomoysky was accused of embezzling $5.5 billion from the state-owned Privatbank. Coincidentally, the good Ihor was also the main shareholder of the oil holding company Burisma, which employed Joe Biden’s son Hunter for a modest compensation of $50,000 a month and which is now under investigation by the Delaware prosecutor.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is the same Kolomoïsky, who was a key figure in Ukraine’s progress, and who made Zelensky’s entire career as an actor and who is implicated in the Pandora Papers affair revealed by the press in October 2021. These papers revealed that since 2012, the TV channel 1+1 belonging to the sulphurous oligarch had paid no less than 40 million dollars to its star Zelensky and that the latter, shortly before being elected president and with the help of his close guard of Kryvyi Rih – the two Shefir brothers, one of whom is the author of Zelensky’s scripts and the other the head of the State Security Service, and the producer and owner of their joint production company Kvartal 95 – had prudently transferred considerable sums to offshore accounts opened in his wife’s name, while acquiring three undeclared flats in London for the sum of $7.5 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the rapprochement of the flamboyant Volodymyr with the most extreme representatives of the Ukrainian nationalist right is not the least of Zelensky’s oddities. This complicity was immediately denied with the greatest virulence by the Western press, which judged it scandalous because of the president’s suddenly rediscovered Jewish origins. How could a Jewish president sympathize with neo-Nazis, who are presented as a tiny minority of outsiders? One should not give credit to Vladimir Putin’s “denazification” operation… What they fail to acknowledge is that left-wing Jews such as [[George Soros]] sometimes admit that they do not care for Jewish interests. Since the time of Moses, the worst enemies of the Jews came from within, not from without. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In July 2022 Zelensky added American journalist [[Glenn Greenwald]] to his enemies list.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Neo-Nazi groups===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Volodymyr Zelensky, Justin Trudeau, and Chrystia Freeland applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the Waffen SS Galicia Division during a session of the Canadian Parliament September 24 2023.PNG|right|300|thumb|Volodymyr Zelensky, [[Justin Trudeau]], and [[Chrystia Freeland]] applaud Yaroslav Hunka of the [[Waffen SS Galicia Division]] during a session of the Canadian Parliament, September 24, 2023.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://korybko.substack.com/p/jews-poles-and-russians-have-united Jews, Poles, &amp;amp; Russians Have United To Condemn Canada For Glorifying A Literal Nazi], ANDREW KORYBKO, SEP 25, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
One has to go back to October 2019 to understand the nature of the relationship between Zelensky and the far right. And you have to understand that these far-right formations, even if they only weigh 2% of the electorate, still represent nearly a million highly motivated and well-organized people who are spread across numerous groupings and movements, of which the Azov regiment (co-founded and financed as early as 2014 by Kolomoysky, still him!) is only the best known. To it must be added the organizations Aïdar, Dnipro, Safari, [[Svoboda]], Pravy Sektor, [[C14]] and National Corps to be complete.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
C14, named after the number of words in the American neo-Nazi David Lane’s phrase (“We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children”), is one of the least known abroad but most feared for its racist violence in Ukraine. All of these groups were more or less merged into the Ukrainian army and national guard at the initiative of their leader, former interior minister [[Arsen Avakov]], who ruled the Ukrainian security apparatus unchallenged from 2014 to 2021. They are the ones Zelensky calls “veterans” since autumn 2019.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few months after his election, the young president went to Donbass to try to fulfil his election promise and enforce the [[Minsk agreements]] signed by his predecessor. The far-right forces, who have been shelling the cities of Donetsk and Lugansk since 2014 at the cost of ten thousand deaths, welcome him with the greatest circumspection because they are suspicious of this “pacifist” president. They are waging a merciless campaign against peace under the slogan “No surrender”. In one video, a pale Zelensky pleads with them: “I am the president of this country. I am 41 years old. I am not a loser. I’m coming to you and saying: take the guns out.” The video was released on social networks and Zelensky immediately became the target of a hate campaign. This will be the end of his desire for peace and the implementation of the Minsk agreements.  Shortly after this incident, a minor withdrawal of the extremist forces took place, and then the bombing resumed in earnest.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The problem is that not only has Zelensky given in to their blackmail but he is joining them in their nationalist crusade. After his failed expedition in November 2019, he receives several far-right leaders, including Yehven Taras, the leader of C14, while his prime minister stands by Andryi Medvedko, a neo-Nazi figure suspected of murder. He also supports the footballer Zolzulya against Spanish fans who accuse him of being a Nazi because of his proclaimed support for [[Stepan Bandera]], the nationalist leader who collaborated with Nazi Germany during the war (and with the [[CIA]] after the war) and participated in the Jewish Holocaust.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Collaboration with nationalist radicals is well established. In November 2021, Zelensky appointed the ultra-nationalist Pravy Sektor [[Dmytro Yarosh]] as special adviser to the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army and, since February 2022, as head of the [[Territorial Defense|Volunteer Army]], which is waging terror in the rear. At the same time, he appointed Oleksander Poklad, nicknamed “the strangler” because of his taste for torture, as head of the SBU’s counter-intelligence unit. In December, two months before the war, it was the turn of another Pravy Sektor leader, Commander Dmytro Kotsuybaylo, to be rewarded with the title of “Hero of Ukraine” while, a week after the start of hostilities, Zelensky had the regional governor of Odessa replaced by Maksym Marchenko, commander of the ultranationalist Aïdar battalion, the very same one with whom [[Bernard-Henri Lévy]] would make a point of marching.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Desire to appease the far right by giving them positions? Shared ultra-patriotism? Or a simple convergence of interests between a neo-liberal, Atlanticist, pro-Western right and a nationalist far right that dreams of smashing Russians and “leading the white races of the world in a final crusade against the Untermenschen guided by the Semites”, in the words of former deputy [[Andriy Biletsky]], leader of the National Corps? It is not clear, as no journalist has ventured to ask Zelensky this question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is not in doubt, however, is the increasingly [[authoritarian]], even [[criminal]], drift of the Ukrainian regime. So much so that its zealots should think twice before nominating their idol for the Nobel Peace Prize. While the media look the other way, a real campaign of intimidation, kidnappings and executions is underway against local and national elected officials suspected of being Russian agents or of connivance with the enemy because they want to avoid an escalation of the conflict.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Zelensky kill list===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Myrotvorets}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Myrotvorets.PNG|right|1000px|thumb|The Myrotovets (&amp;quot;Peacemaker&amp;quot;) website, a kill list authorizing on the spot execution of journalists and anyone deemed a &amp;quot;Russian sympathizer&amp;quot;, shows [[Langley, Virginia]] home of the CIA as its headquarters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://myrotvorets.center/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
“One less traitor in Ukraine! He was found killed and was tried by the people’s court!” This is how the adviser to the Interior Minister, [[Anton Gerashchenko]], announced on his Telegram account the murder of [[Volodymyr Strok]], mayor and former deputy of the small town of Kremnina. Suspected of having collaborated with the Russians, he was kidnapped and tortured before being executed. On 7 March, the mayor of Gostomel was killed because he had tried to negotiate a humanitarian corridor with the Russian military. On 24 March, the mayor of Kupyansk asked Zelensky to release his daughter, who had been kidnapped by SBU agents. At the same time, one of the Ukrainian negotiators was found dead after being accused of treason by the nationalist media. No less than eleven mayors have been reported missing to date, including in regions never occupied by the Russians…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2021, Zelensky closed down three opposition channels deemed to be pro-Russian and supposedly owned by the oligarch [[Viktor Medvedchuk]], NewsOne, Zik and 112 Ukraine. The State Department hails this attack on press freedom, stating that the US supports Ukrainian efforts to counter Russia’s malign influence…” In January 2022, a month before the war, Nash was shut down. After the war began, the regime went on a hunt for left-wing journalists, bloggers and commentators. At the beginning of April, two right-wing channels were also affected. Channel 5 and Pryamiy. A presidential decree obliges all channels to broadcast a single, pro-government tone of voice, of course. Recently the witch-hunt even extended to the country’s most popular critical blogger, Ukraine’s Navalny, [[Anatoliy Shariy]], who was arrested on 4 May by the Spanish authorities at the request of the Ukrainian political police. Attacks on the press at least equivalent to those of the autocrat Putin, but never heard of in the Western media…&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The purge was even more severe for political parties. It decimated Zelensky’s main opponents. In the spring of 2021, the home of the main opponent, Medvedchuk, was ransacked and its owner placed under house arrest. On 12 April, the oligarch deputy was forcibly interned in an undisclosed location, visibly drugged, deprived of visits before being shown on TV and offered in exchange for the release of the Azovstal defenders, in defiance of all the [[Geneva Convention]]s. His lawyers, threatened, had to give up defending him in favour of someone close to the services.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last December, it was Petro Poroshenko, who was rising in the polls, who was accused of treason. On 20 December 2021, at 3.07 pm, the official SBU website listed him as a suspect for crimes of treason and support for terrorist activities. The former president was accused of “making Ukraine energy dependent on Russia and the leaders of the Russian-controlled pseudo-republics.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On 3 March, activists of the Lizvizia Left were raided by the SBU and imprisoned by the dozen. Then on 19 March, repression hit the whole of the Ukrainian left. By decree, eleven left-wing parties were banned: Party for Life, Left Opposition, Progressive Socialist Party of Ukraine, Socialist Party of Ukraine, Union of Left Forces, Socialists, Sharyi Party, Ours, State, Opposition Bloc Volodymyr Saldo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other activists, bloggers and human rights defenders are arrested and tortured, journalist [[Yan Taksyur]], MMA boxer [[Maxim Ryndovskiy]] or activist [[Elena Brezhnaya]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://seemorerocks.is/focusing-on-the-many-crimes-of-the-zelensky-regime/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; whose father was charred to death in the pogrom of 2 May 2014 at the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre|Odessa House of Trade Unions]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To complete this list, we should mention the men and women stripped naked and whipped in public by the nationalists in the streets of Kiev, the Russian prisoners beaten and shot in the legs before being executed, the soldier whose eye was pierced before being killed, the members of the Georgian Legion who executed Russian prisoners in a village near Kiev, while their leader boasted that he never took prisoners. On the Ukraine 24 channel, it was the head of the army’s medical service who said he had given the order “to castrate all Russian men because they are subhuman and worse than cockroaches”. Finally, Ukraine is making extensive use of facial recognition technology from the company Clearview to identify dead Russians and broadcast their photos on Russian social networks, ridiculing them…&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Darya Dugina.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[Darya Dugina]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/JayTharappel/status/1561917268669255680&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ]]&lt;br /&gt;
The examples could be multiplied, as there are so many quotes and videos of atrocities committed by the troops of the defender of democracy and human rights who presides over the destiny of Ukraine. But this would be tedious and counterproductive with a public opinion convinced that these barbaric behaviors are solely due to the Russians.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This is why no NGO is alarmed, the Council of Europe is silent, the International Criminal Court is not investigating, and press freedom organizations are silent. They have not listened well to what the kindly Volodymyr told them during a visit to Bucha at the beginning of April: “If we do not find a civilized way out, you know our people, they will find an uncivilized way out.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ukraine’s problem is that its president, willingly or unwillingly, has ceded power to extremists internally and to the NATO military externally in order to indulge in the pleasure of being worshipped by crowds around the world. Was it not he who told a French journalist on 5 March, ten days after the Russian invasion: “Today, my life is beautiful. I believe I am wanted. I feel that this is the most important meaning of my life: to be wanted. To feel that you are not just breathing, walking and eating something. You are living!”&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;hr /&gt;
&lt;div&gt;The '''Arab Spring''' beginning in 2011 was largely an anti-[[Western civilization]], anti-[[Zionist]] movement orchestrated by the [[Obama administration]] to topple [[secular]] regimes in the [[Arab]] world. As a journalistic euphemism, it was intended to evoke reminiscences of the 1968 [[Prague Spring]], or a peaceful demonstration against [[authoritarian]] rulers to bring about &amp;quot;socialism with a human face.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was billed as an effort at [[democracy|democratitization]] in the Arab Middle East through [[regime change]], along the lines of President [[George W. Bush]]'s [[Iraq War]] in 2003, but this time without the use of U.S. troops on the ground. Ultimately it ended in a bloody and humanitarian disaster and led to the rise of the [[Islamic State]], eleven million dispossessed, in excess of 400,000 dead in [[Syria]], and the [[European migrant crisis]]. A corollary to the plan was to build the image of [[Secretary of State]] [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] as a great world leader and statesman as Obama's successor.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.unz.com/efingleton/assange-hillary-thought-libya-would-be-her-stepping-stone-to-the-presidency/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The states of  [[Libya]], [[Yemen]], [[Syria]] and others were destabilized and became failed states. [[Barack Obama]] and [[Hillary Clinton]] actively intervened in Syria and Libya, funnelling money and weapons to known [[Salafi]] [[jihad]]i groups. The powers that be remained in control of secular [[Egypt]]. [[Iran]], with Western acquiescence, remained firmly on the path to becoming a [[nuclear]] power. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:... the idea of an “Arab Spring” for the entire Arab world that President Obama, Secretary Clinton, and investor [[George Soros]] strongly promoted turned out to be based on a naïve idealism that instead undermined the [[rule of law]] and led to [[anarchy]], [[starvation]], and a [[European migrant crisis|refugee crisis]] that hurt [[citizen]]s more than the [[dictatorship]]s that preceded it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://appliedunificationism.com/2016/02/08/best-policy-ideas-of-the-2016-presidential-candidates/ The Best Policy Ideas of the 2016 Presidential Candidates], Gordon Anderson - February 8, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Background==&lt;br /&gt;
The policies of US President [[Barack Hussein Obama]] with regard to the Arab Spring seemed to be in the interest of Muslim [[theocracy]], unlike previous [[President of the United States of America|American Presidents]] who have favored governments which are secular and pro-[[Israel]].  In August 2010, Obama issued Presidential Study Directive 11&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2015/jun/3/inside-the-ring-muslim-brotherhood-has-obamas-secr/ Obama secretly backing Muslim Brotherhood]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which directed his advisers to &amp;quot;manage these risks by demonstrating to the people of the Middle East and North Africa the gradual but real prospect of greater political openness and improved governance&amp;quot;.  As noted by the Washington Post, just six months later large protests began&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/04/AR2011030404614.html Obama's low-key strategy for the Middle East]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; that later turned into a regional outbreak of violence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Egypt==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NATOs Eastern Prize.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Leafets with instructions handed out to Soros-backed terrorists in Euromaiden Square, Kiev were identical to those handed out in Tahrir Square, Cairo three years earlier. On the left printed in Arabic, on the right in the Ukrainian language.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Following the resignation of [[Hosni Mubarak]] as a result of the protests, Egypt was controlled by [[Mohamed Morsi]], a member of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] from November 22, 2012, to June 3, 2013. Mubarak was key to upholding the 1979 [[Camp David Peace Accords]], negotiated by President [[Jimmy Carter]], [[Anwar Sadat]], and [[Menachem Begin]]. Morsi, backed by Barack Obama and George Soros, vowed to overturn the 1979 peace agreement.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Morsi took power he opened the prisons and released members of the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], including Mohammed Zawahiri. Mohammad Zawahiri is the brother of [[Ayman Zawahiri]], al-Qaeda's #2 guy who, since [[bin Laden]]'s execution, has been running [[al-Qaeda]] from Afghanistan. Mohammad Zawahiri left Egypt for Benghazi and joined up with Mustafa Abdel Jalil, ex-Libyan Justice Minister who very recently was recruited by the French intelligence service to organize the Benghazi uprising.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===9/11 protests===&lt;br /&gt;
The key protest organizer was Mohammed al-Zawahiri along with his Muslim Brotherhood comrades. The 9/11 2012 Cairo protest was centered around demands for the release of [[Omar Abdul Rahman]], also known as “the blind sheik“, who was in federal prison in the U.S. for his part in the [[1993 World Trade Center bombing]]. The Cairo protest was specifically about the release of Omar Abdul Rahman.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/D-EQDwxxlfs&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The [[U.S. State Department]] falsely claimed another motive about a [[YouTube]] video insulting Islam. Hours later that fraudulent motive was then used to explain the [[Benghazi attack]].  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Gen. Mike Flynn exposes reason for protests===&lt;br /&gt;
The fraudulent origin of the motive was exposed by documents from within the [[Defense Intelligence Agency]]; the head of the DIA was Lt. Gen. [[Michael Flynn]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Defense Department document from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), dated September 12, 2012, the day after the [[Benghazi attack]], details that the attack on the Brnghaxi compound had been carefully planned by the BOCAR terrorist group “to kill as many Americans as possible.”  The document was sent to then-Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]], then-Defense Secretary [[Leon Panetta]], the Joint Chiefs of Staff and the [[Obama]] [[White House]] [[National Security Council]].  The heavily redacted Defense Department “information report” says that the attack on the Benghazi facility “was planned and executed by The Brigades of the Captive Omar Abdul Rahman (BCOAR).”  The group subscribes to “AQ ideologies:”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack was planned ten or more days prior on approximately 01 September 2012. The intention was to attack the consulate and to kill as many Americans as possible to seek revenge for U.S. killing of Aboyahiye ((ALALIBY)) in Pakistan and in memorial of the [[9/11 attacks|11 September 2001 attacks]] on the [[World Trade Center]] buildings.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“A violent radical,” the DIA report says, is “the leader of BCOAR is Abdul Baset ((AZUZ)), AZUZ was sent by ((ZAWARI)) to set up [[Al Qaeda]] (AQ) bases in Libya.”  The group's headquarters was set up with the approval of a “member of the Muslim brother hood movement…where they have large caches of weapons.  Some of these caches are disguised by feeding troughs for livestock.  They have SA-7 and SA-23/4 MANPADS.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2016 Michael Flynn's knowledge of the factual backstory to Libya and how the Obama/Clinton team misled everyone was the risk that Flynn represented.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Morsi deposed===&lt;br /&gt;
After smuggling weapons into [[Gaza]] for [[Hamas]], Morsi was overthrown by the Egyptian [[Deep State]] in June 2013. Since August 2014 Gen. [[Abdel Fattah el-Sisi]] rules the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Libya==&lt;br /&gt;
{{Main article|Libyan War}}&lt;br /&gt;
The original plan was for the fighting to be over in days, with some of the weapons captured at [[Benghazi]] to be used in ending [[Muammar al-Gaddafi|Gaddafi's]] resistance, and some flown to the Turkish staging area at Adana, along the Syrian border, to be used in an uprising against [[Assad]]. The singular advantage both Gaddafi and Assad held against an internal uprising is airpower. In Western propaganda this always translates into &amp;quot;using aircraft against civilians.&amp;quot; Hence the call for a no-fly zone to make it a fair fight between government forces and rebel forces.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sarkozy, Cameron, Hillary Clinton, and Obama wanted cover for their actions. United Nations Security Council Resolution 1970 (UNSC 1970) provided for an arms embargo  - no weapons shipped in to either side. UNSC 1973 &amp;quot;authorized&amp;quot; a no-fly zone &amp;quot;by any means necessary,&amp;quot; of course the UK, France, and US took to mean regime change, use of aggressive force, and direct arms deliveries to their jihadi rebels on the ground. The [[Russia]]ns didn't see it that way. The betrayal of assurances Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama gave to convince Russia to withhold its veto on the UN Security Council marked a turning point in US-Russia relations. Russia did not assent to NATO's use of aggressive force. The blatant disregard for international law [[Sarkozy]], [[David Cameron|Cameron]], Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama flouted, coupled with Obama's drone strikes, caused [[Vladimir Putin]] to reaccess other international agreements Russia was party to with Western powers, namely agreements over the [[Crimea]] and [[Ukraine]]. &lt;br /&gt;

{{Quotebox|STRATFOR has been hearing about plans in the works by a group of army officers planning to oust Gadhafi, move into Tripoli and reinvent a Revolutionary Command Council to take authority over the country. Now the names that are being thrown around to lead this Revolutionary Command Council include '''many of the original free officers that helped bring Gadhafi to power in the 1969 military coup. This group is currently lobbying for the U.N. Security Council''' which is currently in session to approve a no-fly zone that can be enforced by the United States. The army officers trying to lead this coup want to ensure that Gadhafi can’t rely on remaining loyal air force units to bombard them as they make their way into Tripoli. Now Gadhafi is likely betting that global concerns over energy cutoffs from Libya and fears over regime collapse in Libya leading to civil war will likely deter any such plans for a no-fly zone to be enforced by the United States. Still, the opposition, including many of these army officers, appear willing to call that bluff.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 23 the ''Pakistan Observer'' reports:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redantliberationarmy.wordpress.com/2011/02/28/us-uk-french-forces-land-in-libya/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;&amp;quot;'''United States, Britain and France have sent several hundred “defence advisors” to train and support the anti-Gadhafi forces''' in oil-rich Eastern Libya where “rebels armed groups” have apparently taken over.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to an exclusive report confirmed by a Libyan diplomat in the region “the three Western states have landed their “special forces troops in Cyrinacia and are now setting up their bases and training centres” to reinforce the rebel forces who are resisting pro-Qaddafi forces in several adjoining areas.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Libyan official who requested not to be identified said that the '''U.S. and British military gurus were sent on February 23 and 24''' night through American and French warships and small naval boats off Libyan ports of Benghazi and [[Tobruk]]. &amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Western forces are reportedly preparing to set-up training bases for local militias set-up by the rebel forces for an effective control of the oil-rich region and counter any push by pro- Qaddafi forces from Tripoli .&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Other reports claim that efforts to “neutralize” the Libyan Air Force were also underway to limit Qaddafi’s rule in Tripoli if not fully uprooted from the country.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, three [[India]]n Navy warships, are also being dispatched to be deployed in the rebel-held areas of Libya .&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to reports the Indian Navy has already sent two warships plus one its largest amphibious vessel INS Jalashwa. According to defence experts “Jalshwa” is the largest ship of Indian Navy which was delivered by the U.S. four years ago. '''Jalashwa, formaly the USS Trenton, has the capability to embark, transport &amp;amp; land various elements of an amphibious force &amp;amp; its equipped with mechanised landing craft, Sea King helicopters &amp;amp; armed with raders, ship to air missiles &amp;amp; rapid firing guns'''.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Experts say that Indian ship Jalashwa '''has a Landing Platform Dock with a capability 1000 fully armed troops.''' The warship is also used for maritime surveillance, special operations, search &amp;amp; rescue and to undertake other tasks.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

The Italian Foreign Minister expressed concern that the number of Libyan refugees trying to reach Italy might reach between 200,000 and 300,000 people.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news| author =Squires, Nick |url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8343963/Libya-Italy-fears-300000-refugees.html |title=Libya: Italy Fears 300,000 Refugees |work =The Daily Telegraph|date=23 February 2011 |accessdate=|location=London}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The number would exceed 3 million in coming years before it's all over.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Europeter.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Map showing immigration pathways]]&lt;br /&gt;
On February 25 [[Hillary Rodham Clinton]] announced suspension of Libyan embassy operations in Washington. The same day Gaddafi warned former UK Prime Minister [[Tony Blair]] by phone, that if his regime were allowed to fall, the [[jihad]]is would use Libya as a springboard for attacks in [[Europe]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/politics/tony-blair/12086505/Tony-Blairs-phone-conversations-with-Colonel-Gaddafi-revealed.html Colonel Gaddafi warned Tony Blair of Islamist attacks on Europe], By Robert Mendick, ''Telegraph'' 07 Jan 2016.  telegraph.co.uk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This is exactly what happened, as Gaddafi predicted: the Islamic State took credit for the November 2015 Paris attacks killing 137, wounding 368, and the February 2016 Brussels bombing killing 35 and injuring 340, and numerous other jihad attacks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hillary Clinton directed efforts to remove all US embassy personnel from Tripoli and ordered the embassy closed. Ken Dilanian of the ''[[Chicago Tribune]]'' reported that the [[CIA]] had been on the ground in &amp;quot;rebel-held&amp;quot; areas of Libya since shortly after the US Embassy in Tripoli was evacuated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20110404001700/https://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/sc-dc-0331-cia-libya-20110330,0,2762769.story&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Hillary Clinton made a series of calls to foreign counterparts to secure passage of UN Security Council Resolution 1970, imposing sanctions and an arms embargo to either side, which the US and allies abruptly violated.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 27, 2011, the Transitional National Council (TNC) announcesd in the city of Benghazi its purpose is to act as the &amp;quot;political face of the revolution.&amp;quot; French President Sarkozy later said “'''We created the TNC and without''' France’s backing, money and weapons, '''it would not exist.'''”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8630778/Libya-France-risks-Nato-split-over-call-for-Gaddafi-talks.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/01/world/europe/01france.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The '''TNC spokesman made clear''' to reporters that the Libyan Transitional National Council was not a provisional government and added that the newly formed council '''was not in contact with foreign governments''' and did not want them to intervene.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Libya Opposition Launches Council|url=http://english.aljazeera.net/news/africa/2011/02/2011227175955221853.html |work= [[Al Jazeera]] |date=27 February 2011 |accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The TNC spokesman later said that an airstrike purportedly sanctioned by the UNSC 1973 would not be considered a foreign intervention.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |title=Libyan Rebels Said To Debate Seeking U.N.

On February 28 Hillary Clinton traveled to Geneva, [[Switzerland]] for consultations with European partners on Libya. She gave a speech in which she said: &amp;quot;It is time for Gaddafi to go.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Omar Karmi of the UAE ''The National'' reported Hillary Clinton as saying that the US was in contact with leaders of the uprising in Benghazi, that the US stood ready to &amp;quot;offer any kind of assistance,&amp;quot; and that the US military already deployed naval and air forces into position near Libya.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.thenational.ae/news/world/middle-east/us-deploys-naval-and-air-forces-near-libya#full&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 4, 2011 seven UK SAS (Special Operations Force) commandos and an intelligence officer were taken captive by jihadi rebels in Benghazi when they arrived ahead of time unannounced. The news became public, and is a clear violation of [[international law]], aggressive action and boots on the ground without UNSC vote on the proposed no-fly zone. The UK Defense Minister openly stated the mission was part of Britain's support for regime change.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8365069/Libya-SAS-mission-that-began-and-ended-in-error.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The embarrassing flap was hushed up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 8, 2011 Secretary of State [[Hillary Clinton]] appointed Special Envoy [[Chris Stevens]] as US liaison to the jihadis in Benghazi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://abcnewsradioonline.com/world-news/us-names-chris-stevens-liaison-to-libyan-opposition.html US Names Chris Stevens Liaison to Libyan Opposition,]  ABC News Radio﻿, March 14, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Given what was learned of Steven's mission after his death, this action on March 8 could only have occurred after President Obama had authorized covert aide for the jihadis by a Presidential finding. Despite what various news sources later reported, President Obama had already made the decision and commitment to the coalition's ultimate aims - regime change.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 13 Secretary Clinton traveled to [[Paris]] for a series of meetings with foreign ministers from the G8 countries. [[Bernard-Henri Levy]] and Abdul Jalil, former Gaddafi justice minister, are also in attendence.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.newyorker.com/culture/richard-brody/did-bernard-henri-lvy-take-nato-to-war&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.lefigaro.fr/international/2011/03/18/01003-20110318ARTFIG00671-la-campagne-libyenne-de-bernard-henri-levy.php&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://anarchitext.wordpress.com/2011/05/10/bhl-war-in-libya/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; She secretly adds that aggressive action and not just a no-fly zone will be adequate.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*'''14-16 March.''' Sec. Clinton participates in a series of high-level video- and teleconferences. She is a leading voice for strong UNSC action in the name of a NATO &amp;quot;civilian protection&amp;quot; (R2P) mission. A majority of NATO member states refuse to participate. Use of aggressive force outside Europe (or even inside Europe) is not why the NATO alliance was founded or continues to exist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Clinton met with Russian Foreign Minister [[Sergei Lavrov]] whose country's [[veto]] of UNSC 1973 would derail intervention. Lavrov was misled into believing that by giving NATO a free hand in Libya, Russia could be given a free hand in the Crimea. Clinton secured a deal with Russia abstaining from a veto of UNSC Resolution 1973. &lt;br /&gt;
The resolution passes the UN Security Council 10-0, with Russia, China, [[Germany]], Brazil and India abstaining. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UNSC 1973 authorized 12 of NATO's 28 members to use its name “to take all necessary measures to enforce compliance with the ban on flights.&amp;quot; Obama, Clinton, Camaron, and Sarkozy immediately lifted the phrase, &amp;quot;all necessary measures&amp;quot; to mean regime change, thus nullify the the arms embargo of UNSC 1970. A “pure no-fly zone&amp;quot; is what the Russians had agreed to, and [[Vladimir Putin]] noted later during the [[Crimea]]n annexation that Obama and cohorts &amp;quot;violated the UN Security Council resolution on Libya, when instead of imposing the so-called no-fly zone over it they started bombing it too.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://books.google.com/books?id=AjAyCgAAQBAJ&amp;amp;pg=PA219&amp;amp;lpg=PA219&amp;amp;dq=violated+the+UN+Security+Council+resolution+on+Libya,+when+instead+of+imposing+the+so-called+no-fly+zone+over+it+they+started+bombing+it+too.&amp;amp;source=bl&amp;amp;ots=HRqOB2VBJQ&amp;amp;sig=5r066oZAPgWKZIsS9B04IzMGlL8&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;ved=0ahUKEwjH_5Pv69HTAhUjj1QKHZJ0CkIQ6AEIKzAF#v=onepage&amp;amp;q=violated%20the%20UN%20Security%20Council%20resolution%20on%20Libya%2C%20when%20instead%20of%20imposing%20the%20so-called%20no-fly%20zone%20over%20it%20they%20started%20bombing%20it%20too.&amp;amp;f=false]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO's ostensibly defensive nature, founded on the premise that an attack on one is an attack against all, was transformed into an offensive mercenary force in the service of private French, British, and American commercial interests.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;National Security [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/hillarys-war-how-conviction-replaced-skepticism-in-libya-intervention/2011/10/28/gIQAhGS7WM_story.html Hillary’s war: How conviction replaced skepticism in Libya intervention], By Joby Warrick, ''[[Washington Post]]'', October 30, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.europeaninstitute.org/index.php/130-european-affairs/ea-august-2011/1417-lessons-of-libya-for-future-western-military-forays LESSONS OF LIBYA FOR FUTURE WESTERN MILITARY FORAYS], By John Barry, Newsweek National Security Correspondent. europeaninstitute.org&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 19 Sarkozy convened a meeting in the Westin Hotel to solicit agreement for the immediate deployment of military aircraft to stop Gaddafi's efforts to put down the jihadi uprising in Benghazi, and the establishment of a US no-fly zone in the country. Before the meeting was over, French fighter planes had attacked Gaddafi forces outside Benghazi. Italian and Russian participants protested the French government's insistence on convening the meeting '''''before agreeing to air strikes''''', and then launching strikes '''before the meeting was over.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The early attack so upset Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, who recently signed a Friendship Pact with Libya, he warned of cutting access to Italian air bases vital to French, British, and American  warplanes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/hillarys-war-how-conviction-replaced-skepticism-in-libya-intervention/2011/10/28/gIQAhGS7WM_story.html?utm_term=.eae1c96f2b72&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.buzzfeed.com/tamerragriffin/clinton-apparently-did-a-berlusconi-impression-while-discuss?utm_term=.yomzmw2VeL#.xdPA0pxW89&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; ''Washington Post'' later reported Berlusconi &amp;quot;eventually provided air bases as staging grounds for attacks.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
French officials claim that meeting participants were informed of the planned airstrike. The strikes clearly had been planned and coordinated with the knowledge of the United States and UK.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://digital.library.unt.edu/ark:/67531/metadc99034/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That night, the first US airstrikes halt the advance of Gaddafi's forces on Benghazi and target Libya's air defenses. Members of Libya's Christian Coptic community are later decapitated ''en masse'' once Secretary Clinton and President Obama's objectives are met.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/v-5WjfiIIbA&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Libya Rebels Gaining Momentum.jpg|thumb|President Obama armed al-Qaeda rebels who later migrated to Syria to form the Islamic State.(Photo:Reuters).]]&lt;br /&gt;
Obama finally informed the American public on March 21, 2011 that the United States had attacked [[Libya]] two days earlier, on March 19, &amp;quot;to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.&amp;quot; The action is a clear violation of US law. US military force can only be used for [[national security]] and not humanitarian purposes.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A report from Rep. [[Dennis Kucinich]] on March 26, 2011 corroborated the claim of Franco Bechis in [[Italy]] that &amp;quot;plans to spark the Benghazi rebellion were initiated by French intelligence services in November 2010.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''[http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:RkUoFsgEwm8J:www.voltairenet.org/article169069.html+French+plans+to+topple+Gaddafi+on+track+since+last+November&amp;amp;cd=2&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;ct=clnk&amp;amp;gl=us&amp;amp;source=www.google.com French plans to topple Gaddafi on track since last November]'', by Franco Bechis, VoltaireNet, March 26, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://fourwinds10.com/siterun_data/government/war/news.php?q=1305727776&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Obama surveillance operatives had captured and recorded private communications between Rep.

&lt;br /&gt;
According to a Hillary staff email on April 14 Secretary of State Clinton traveled to Berlin for NATO meetings. Clinton is '''the driving force behind NATO adopting a communiqué that calls for Gaddafi's departure as a political objective, and lays out three clear military objectives:''' (1) end of attacks and threat of attacks on civilians; (2) the removal of Gaddafi forces; (3) [redacted from original]. The German government refuses to go along.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article29143.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On April 15 Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov at the Berlin conference accuses the Obama administration of exceeding UNSC 1973 mandate and the agreements at the Paris summit. What started out as a mission to “protect civilians and enforce a no-fly zone,” has been transformed into an effort at &amp;quot;[[regime change]]&amp;quot; without having a clear understanding as to the nature of the rebel opposition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 5, 2011 Sec. Hillary Clinton traveled to [[Rome]] for a Contact Group meeting. The Contact Group established a coordination system and a temporary financial mechanism to funnel money to the Transitional National Council.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 8 Sec. of State Clinton traveled to [[Abu Dhabi]] for another Contact Group meeting and holds a series of intense discussions with jihadi and rebel leaders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 12 Clinton traveled to Addis Ababa, [[Ethiopia]] for consultations and a speech before the African Union, pressing the case for a &amp;quot;democratic transition&amp;quot; in Libya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 15, 2011 Sec. of State Hillary Clinton traveled to [[Istanbul]] and announces that the US recognizes the Transitional National Council as the legitimate government of Libya. She also secures recognition of the TNC from the other members of the Contact Group.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Early August 2011 Hillary Clinton works to construct a $1.5 billion assets package to be approved by the UNSC and sent to the Libyan Transitional National Council (TNC). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===War of aggression===&lt;br /&gt;
*[[United Nations]] Charter, Article 2(4), prohibits the “threat or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence” of a member state, and many observers object that Obama's actions violate this prohibition. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Congressional Research Services advises that a no-fly zone imposed against a state that has not carried out an attack on its neighbors may consider the imposition an “armed attack.” CRS warns that even if a no-fly zone does not constitute an armed attack, &amp;quot;that state, and other members of the international community, might consider them a violation of the prohibition of the 'threat or use of force,' as well as of the customary duty of non-intervention in the affairs of other sovereign states.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On March 23, 2011 UK Air Vice Marshal declares air superiority: the Libyan Air Force “no longer exists as a fighting force.” NATO controls the skies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-africa-12837330&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The next day Sec. Clinton engaged with Sarkozy, Cameron, and others to secure the transition of command and control of the &amp;quot;civilian protection mission&amp;quot; to NATO and announced the transition in a statement. Canada-based sociologist Mahdi Darius Nazemroaya observed, {{quotebox|&amp;quot;NATO is an undemocratic body and is not answerable to any constituency of voters. It is through NATO and international organizations that the voting public is being bypassed.

U.S. Admiral James G. Stravridis is the supreme commander of NATO military operations, Adm. Stravridis can still work operationally independent of NATO.

There is ample documentation by journalists, academics, and human rights groups demonstrating that Black Libyan civilians and sub-Saharan contract workers, a population favored by Gaddafi in his pro-African Union policies, were targets of “racial cleansing” by NATO-backed 'Libyan rebels' who saw Black Libyans as tied closely with the Gaddafi regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many of the so-called 'Libyan rebels', or TNC, that the Obama State Dept. sold to the media and public were a diverse group of outsiders, including Sanusi Islamists, [[Egypt]]ians from the [[Muslim Brotherhood]], and jihadists from [[Algeria]], [[Morocco]], [[Tunisia]], [[Jordan]], [[Qatar]], [[Afghanistan]] and elsewhere (jihadis' whose prime goal in life is to topple the secular regime of their homeland are always on the run seeking sanctuary somewhere). These men were led by two top defectors of the Gaddafi regime, former Justice Minister Mustafa Abdul Jalil, and former Minister of Interior (secret police) Abdul al-Fatah Younis. Jalil faded from the picture once his role was completed. Younis has worked at Gaddafi's side for 42 years since the bloodless coup of 1969 that deposed the monarchy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Knowing Gaddafi's days were numbered due to advanced age, Jalil and Younis were seeking to preserve the power they emassed, as heads of Gaddafi's law enforcement ministries, by deposing Gaddafi prematurely using rival tribes internally and outside help from a coalition Hillary Clinton put together of jihadis and NATO. Younis, who made many enemies as Gaddafi's top cop, eventually was murdered by Islamists in the TNC.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On May 20, 2011, the ''[[Washington Post]]'' reported Obama ignored the legal deadline set by US law that required him to obtain Congressional approval for US military operations in Libya. Under the [[Nixon]]-era [[War Powers Act]], the president must obtain Congressional authorization of military action within 60 days, or else begin withdrawing forces.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-likely-to-miss-deadline-for-congressional-approval-of-libya-operations/2011/05/19/AFFLKn7G_story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://lugar.senate.gov/record.cfm?id=332967&amp;amp;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/is-obama-above-the-law/2011/05/26/AGL5zyCH_story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late June Sec. Clinton met with House Democrats and Senate Republicans, basically Send. McCain and Graham, to persuade them to continue support the Libya operation, despite Obama's violation of the War Powers Act and no congressional authorization for use of military force for regime change. On June 30, 2011, Defence Secretary [[Robert Gates]] resigned. [[Leon Panetta]] moved over from CIA Director as Gates replacement. Michael Morell became acting CIA Director.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 8, Clinton sent Asst. Sec. of State for the Near East Jeffrey Feltman, US Ambassador to Libya Gene Cretz, and a senior director at the [[National Security Council]] Derek Chollet, to meet with Gaddafi envoys in [[Tunis]] &amp;quot;to deliver a clear and firm message that the only way to move forward, is for Gaddafi to step down.&amp;quot; Libyan representatives were confused, as to thinking the US had been an ally in fighting the radical Islamic jihadis, and now the Obama administration was using them to overthrow Gaddafi. On July 17 Alexandra Valiente, living in Tripoli, wrote:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|The Coalition of the Willing had come to Libya to spare civilians from Gaddafi’s murderous madness. Four months later, the Libyan crowds have deserted “Liberated Benghazi” and are staging gigantic anti-NATO demonstrations. ...&amp;lt;!--The political and social structures in Libya stem from the authoctonous culture and are beyond the compehension of many Westerners. They are composed of a one-chamber system of participative democracy – which is particularly effective at the local level – in conjunction with a tribal forum, which is devoid of any legislative power but serves to integrate clan solidarities into political life. To this structure must be added “Leader” figure who exerts no legal power, only moral authority. No one is compelled to obey him, but the majority of the people do, just as they would spontaneously obey a senior member of their own family. On the whole, the political system runs smoothly and people display no fear of the police, except on occasions such as a coup attempt or the Abou Salim prison riot, both of which were violently repressed.--&amp;gt; at present, the Libyan people are convinced that such a crackdown never took place and that the Libyan air force never attacked any residential area either in Benghazi or in Tripoli. That portion of the population who believed at first the information relayed through [[mainstream media|international television networks]] now thinks very differently. In the meantime, people have had the chance to obtain direct testimonies from family and friends scattered throughout the country and have reached the conclusion that it was all a disinformation campaign....&amp;lt;!--Be that as it may, the principal NATO leaders have openly evoked another aim of this war, which certain members of the Coalition appear reluctant to endorse: Col. Gaddafi’s resignation, a euphemism for “regime change”. This has opened the door to a realm of confusion. On one hand, such a requirement has no legal foundation under the relevant UN resolutions nor is it in any way linked to the declared objective of protecting civilian populations. On the other hand, Col. Gaddafi’s resignation is neither here nor there since he does not exercise an institutional function, but only a moral authority derived from the social, and not political, structures. Finally, by what right are NATO members standing in the way of a democratic process and pretend to decide for the Libyan people that one of its leaders must be removed?&lt;br /&gt;
This confusion in fact reveals that the war is driven by unavowed motives which are not shared by all the members of the Coalition of the Willing.--&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;The Transitional National Council (TNC) has been incapable of constituting a social base. Its provisional capital Benghazi used to be a city of 800 000 inhabitants. In February, hundreds of thousands turned out to celebrate its creation. Today, the “city liberated by the rebels” and “protected by NATO” is virtually a lifeless agglomeration with barely 15 000 inhabitants left, most of whom are people who don’t have the means to leave. The Benghazis did not flee the fighting; they fled from the new regime.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;...according to most experts, the number of “rebel forces” has dropped to between 800 and 1 000 combatants, armed to the teeth by NATO, but incapable of playing a significant role in the absence of popular support. It is very likely that there are more NATO Special Forces commandos on the ground than the number of Libyan combatants they are supposed to oversee.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://libyadiary.wordpress.com/2011/07/17/nato-and-the-ingratitude-of-the-libyan-people/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

On August 21 jihadis entered [[Tripoli]]. [[Sidney Blumenthal]] congratulated Hillary:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|First, brava! This is a historic moment and you will be credited for realizing it. '''When Qaddafi himself is finally removed''', you should of course make a public statement before the cameras wherever you are, even in the driveway of your vacation house. '''You must go on camera. You must establish yourself in the historical record''' at this moment. The most important phrase is: ‘successful strategy.’&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just a few points: &lt;br /&gt;
*The US has pursued a successful strategy in Libya... This was the right course, based on our interests and principles...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Do not skimp on the reasons in the US interest...The US has demonstrated its principled belief in the rule of law and acted on...By acting in Libya we have helped advance the cause of democracy and freedom...We have put [[Bashar al-Assad|Assad]] on notice that the sands of time have run out for him as well. Our successful strategy in Libya stands as a warning that our strategy will work again. Etc.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Be aware that some may attempt to justify the flamingly stupid ‘leading from behind’ phrase, junior types on the NSC imagining their cleverness. To refute this passive construction on US policy and help remove it as an albatross from the administration as it enters the election year, do not be defensive but rather simply explain that the US had a clear strategy from the start, stuck with it and has succeeded.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Then you can say whatever on future policy — but only after asserting the historic success and explaining the reasons why.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*This is a very big moment historically and for you. '''History will tell your part in it'''. You are vindicated. But don’t wait, help Clio now.” (Blumenthal’s reference to “Clio” is to the Greek muse of history.)&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/23902&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

On September 7 bloomberg.com/news published an editorial authors by Jamie Ruben. On September 10 Blumenthal emailed Hillary the text of Rubin's editorial.:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|'''Hillary Clinton Deserves Credit for U.S. Role in Libya:'''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
View By the Editors –&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The unsung hero of the Libya drama in the U.S. is Secretary of State Hillary Clinton. Clinton’s actions were critical for several reasons. Most important, she overcame Defense Secretary [[Robert Gates]]’s caution about using military force in Libya and his reluctance to support an operation led by France and Britain. ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the unusual arrangement in which the U.S. was a supporter rather than a leader of NATO’s military operation, she defended intervention before a skeptical Congress and performed the hard slog of daily diplomacy ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...the decision to support NATO military action in Libya is probably the Obama administration’s most important achievement in international affairs. Although ... the country is a long way from having a stable, representative government...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History will surely judge that, by intervening on the side of the rebellion, the West — primarily the governments of France, the U.K. and the U.S. — made a unique and invaluable contribution ... That said, the Obama administration’s decision-making process remains opaque. ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...by breaking with Gates, Clinton tipped the balance within the administration in favor of action. Without her strong argument ... Washington probably would not have acted. '''The president’s national security adviser, Tom Donilon, was declaring freedom in Libya to be outside the U.S. national interest, and both military and civilian officials in the Pentagon were reluctant to endorse or even opposed U.S. intervention. But Clinton’s push... appears to have been decisive.'''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...Congress not only opposed sending in ground troops but mostly opposed any U.S. involvement. Obama wisely resisted.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“For better or worse, the Libya model is not likely to be repeated anytime soon. This is not, as some say, because NATO will never again intervene in a situation like Libya’s. After the Kosovo war, many also said NATO would never again act against a dictator to save lives.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...'''Think about the conditions: ... a rebel army on the ground sought democratic change and espoused Western values;''' the UN at least loosely endorsed NATO air operations; ...'''Given those circumstances, it is still hard to explain why there were determined opponents, primarily in the [[Republican Party]],''' to this mission in the first place.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Throughout most of Obama’s term in office, only a few administration officials have commanded respect and political power on national security matters: Clinton, Gates and General [[David Petraeus]], the most decorated and admired officer of recent times. With Gates now gone and Petraeus in a non-policy role as director of the Central Intelligence Agency, Clinton’s power will only increase as the president’s re-election campaign heats up'''. We hope she recognizes her opportunity and uses it well.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;consortiumnews concludes, &amp;quot;This is how [[propaganda]], press manipulation and lying to the public is manufactured in Washington, DC. Hillary and her crew, with the help of Jamie Rubin, pushed the meme that Hillary, not Obama, deserved the credit for the “success” in Libya.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Absolutely. Let her have it. Hang this festering turd of a policy around Hillary’s neck. To do so is only just. She is a power hungry thug who helped cause the deaths of thousands just to advance her own vile political ambitions.&amp;quot; https://consortiumnews.com/2016/07/07/hillary-clintons-libyan-fingerprints/?print=print&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

On  October 20 Gaddafi was inhumanely executed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Operation Zero Footprint===&lt;br /&gt;
By law, a covert action requires a Presidential finding. The first Presidential covert action finding Obama issued in support of Muslim jihadis occurred in the early weeks of March 2011. [[Reuters]] reported that, {{Quotebox|&amp;quot;President Barack '''Obama has signed a secret order authorizing covert U.S. government support for rebel forces''' seeking to oust Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi...Obama signed the order, known as a presidential &amp;quot;finding&amp;quot;, within the last two or three weeks&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-usa-order-idustre72t6h220110331&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} Another ''Reuters'' article noted Obama had CIA personal on the ground ''before'' signing the finding. Adm. Mike Mullen estimated there were about 1,000 rebel jihadis in number.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/article/us-libya-usa-rebels-idUSTRE72U7NM20110331&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; According to a US State Dept. report with this time, the [[Islamic State of Iraq]] claimed responsibility for 23 attacks south of [[Baghdad]], all allegedly carried out under [[Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi]]'s command.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.state.gov/j/ct/rls/other/des/266629.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;!--No other source in English has been found yet to corroborate the State Dept. assertion.--&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By March 2, 2011, reports arrive by experts identifying weaponry recovered in Gaddafi's Katiba, Benghazi compound. Most equipment is 1970s-80s [[Soviet]] equipment, still effective and operational. Some equipment designs date back to World War II. Chinese equipment also is found. A ''Wired'' magazine article specifically states, &amp;quot;Most of the weaponry at the Katiba has been removed and handed over to the army,&amp;quot; although the Benghazi rebels and TNC had not yet, nor ever were sufficiently organized into an &amp;quot;army.&amp;quot; ''Wired'' reported, &amp;quot;everything had to be stripped, scrubbed, and reassembled before testing.&amp;quot; Much anti-aircraft equipment was confiscated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 20, 2011, NATO's Supreme Allied Commander James Stavridis told the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, days before President Obama publicly disclosed his decision to intervene, that US the intelligence community knew of [[al Qaeda]] and [[Hezbollah]] elements among the rebels.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/africaandindianocean/libya/8414583/Libya-al-Qaeda-among-Libya-rebels-Nato-chief-fears.html]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Appearing before the Senate Armed Services Committee, Stavridis was asked by Republican Sen. James Inhofe to comment on &amp;quot;reports about the presence of al Qaeda among the rebels, among those with whom we are associated.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;As you can imagine, we are examining very closely the content, composition, the personalities, who are the leaders in these opposition forces,&amp;quot; Stavridis responded. &amp;quot;The intelligence that I am receiving at this point makes me feel that the leadership I am seeing are responsible men and women who are struggling against Colonel Gadhafi. We have seen flickers in the intelligence of potential al Qaeda, Hezbollah, we've seen different things, but at this point I don't have detail sufficient to say that there is a significant al Qaeda presence or any other terrorist presence in and among these folks. We'll continue to look at that very closely. It's part of doing due diligence as we move forward on any kind of relationship.&amp;quot; http://cdrsalamander.blogspot.com/2011/03/saceur-j2-please-call-your-office.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Two days later a leaked email from Stravidis email to David Manners, business partner of  Marc Turi who resigned as a congressional staffer to Sen. [[John McCain]] weeks earlier, discussed illegal weapons supply to the TNC ''per'' a Hillary Clinton State Department authorization.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxbusiness.com/politics/2015/09/11/exclusive-new-emails-in-benghazi-weapons-mystery.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.captainsjournal.com/2015/09/14/the-weapons-of-benghazi/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Under the code name “Zero Footprint” Marc Turi drew up the original plan to coordinate the flow of weapons from the US  through the intermediary of Qatar into Libya.  Those weapons ended up in Libya and Syria destined for the hands of group that later called itself the [[Islamic State]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2016/10/11/the-secrets-behind-the-wire-marc-turi-speaks-out-about-hillary-clintons-covert-weapons-shipments/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

By March 28, ''AP'' reported on [[Turkey]] taking over operation of  the Benghazi airport.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20110618103616/https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/turkey-will-run-benghazi-airport-prime-m&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This was the start of a direct flightline to Adana, Turkey where captured Gaddadi regime weapons were delivered to AQI/ISI jihadis, for the purpose of overthrowing the [[Bashar Assad|Assad]] regime. The AQI/ISI eventually changed its name to the [[Islamic State]]. On July 3 NBC reported Turkey gave more aid to the TNC to refurbish Benghazi airport.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/id/43626058/ns/world_news-mideast_n_africa/t/turkey-recognizes-libya-rebels/#.WQ_p0U5MHMI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On August 1, 2012 ''Reuters'' reported Obama issued a second Presidential covert action finding earlier in that year authorising transfer of captured weapons from Libya to Syria.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://web.archive.org/web/20170216061621/https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/08/01/obama-secret-syria-order_n_1730712.html?tw_p=twt&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;under provisions of the presidential finding, the United States was collaborating with a secret command center operated by Turkey and its allies.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last week, Reuters reported that, along with [[Saudi Arabia]] and Qatar, Turkey had '''established a secret base near the Syrian border to help direct vital military and communications support to Assad’s opponents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This “nerve center” is in Adana, a city in southern Turkey about 60 miles (100 km) from the Syrian border, which is also home to Incirlik, a U.S. air base where U.S. military and intelligence agencies maintain a substantial presence.'''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turkey’s moderate Islamist government has been demanding Assad’s departure with growing vehemence. Turkish authorities are said by current and former U.S. government officials to be increasingly involved in providing Syrian rebels with training and possibly equipment.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
European government sources said wealthy families in Saudi Arabia and Qatar were providing significant financing to the rebels. Senior officials of the Saudi and Qatari governments have publicly called for Assad’s departure.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Amb. [[Christopher Stevens]] was put in charge of the covert operation. The aim is to arm jihadist groups which transformed themselves into the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria to overthrow [[Bashar al Assad]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Obama's re-election the ''New York Times'' reported CIA Dir. David Petraeus had been instrumental in helping to get an aviation network moving to supply ISIS rebels and prodded various countries to work together on it. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Three Royal Jordanian Air Force [[C-130]]s landed in Esenboga, in a hint at what would become a stepped-up Jordanian and Saudi role. {{Quotebox|“Within three weeks, two other Jordanian cargo planes began making a round-trip run between Amman, the capital of Jordan, and [[Zagreb]], the capital of [[Croatia]], where, officials from several countries said, the aircraft were picking up a large Saudi purchase of infantry arms from a Croatian-controlled stockpile.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Two Jordanian Ilyushins bearing the logo of the Jordanian International Air Cargo firm but flying under Jordanian military call signs made a combined 36 round-trip flights between [[Amman]] and Croatia from December 2012 through February 2013. The same two planes made five flights between Amman and Turkey in January 2013. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;quot;As the Jordanian flights were under way, the Qatari flights continued and the Royal Saudi Air Force began a busy schedule, too — making at least 30 C-130 flights into Esenboga from mid-February 2013 to early March 2013, according to flight data provided by a regional air traffic control official.”&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“American officials have confirmed that '''senior White House officials were regularly briefed on the shipments.”'''}}&lt;br /&gt;

The [[Edward Snowden|Snowden leaks]] detail a program that trained approximately 10,000 jihadi fighters at a cost of $1 billion a year.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://fair.org/home/down-the-memory-hole-nyt-erases-cias-efforts-to-overthrow-syrias-government/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Stingers, SAM-7s, and [[MANPADS]]===&lt;br /&gt;
On March 7, 2011, Ben Knight, reporting from the jihadi rebel side, told an [[Australia]]n radio audience about the jihadi rebel equipment: &amp;quot;we saw some stinger missiles today.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.abc.net.au/am/content/2011/s3156632.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Four days later the [[Canadian]] ''Globe and Mail'' interviewed the rebel appointed as security chief in Derna: {{Quotebox|“We need Stingers. We don’t need your stupid words.” The article noted &amp;quot;foreign intelligence agencies have bitter experience with supplying Stinger missiles to anti-Soviet freedom fighters in Afghanistan, only to spend years struggling to keep them out of the hands of terrorists.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://beta.theglobeandmail.com/news/world/libyan-rebels-at-pains-to-distance-themselves-from-extremists/article570971/?ref=http://www.theglobeandmail.com&amp;amp;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
In all likelihood [[TWA Flight 800]] was brought down by a Stinger missile off [[Long Island]] in 1996, killing 230 people, which had been supplied to the Afghan ''mujihadeen'' in the 1980s by the CIA, and then smuggled back into the United States during the [[Clinton administration]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.amazon.com/TWA-800-Crash-Cover-Up-Conspiracy/dp/1621574717&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 4, 2011 ''Reuters'' reported that [[al Qaeda in the Maghreb]] was in possession of SAM-7s from captured Gaddafi stockpiles. The SAM-7 is a Soviet manufactured version of the American Stinger missile capable of shooting down military or commercial aircraft within a two-mile range.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://news.trust.org//item/?map=exclusive-al-qaeda-acquiring-weapons-in-libyaalgerian-official&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Gen. Carter Ham, head of US Africa Command, told the Senate Armed Services Committee on April 7 that “we do estimate that there were as many as 20,000 in Libya before the conflict began.” [[David Ignatius]] of the ''Washington Post'' reported eight hundred SAM-7s were now in the hands of [[Boko Haram]] from Gaddafi arsenals on September 12, 2011, claims a &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;quot;former CIA officer wrote his FBI friend that the [[Niger]] contacts “have determined locally that the [United States government] doesn’t want to help them” chase down the missiles. “I suspect [the Near East division of CIA] squashed this by their normal bureaucratic warfare,” he speculated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2015-10-31/islamic-state-claims-responsibility-russian-airplane-crash#comment-6734249&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; }}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Brian Ross of ABC News in a report on September 27 that Libya's 20,000 unaccounted for SAM-7 surface-to-air missiles:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;quot;the U.S. State Department has one official on the ground in Libya, as well as five contractors who specialize in 'explosive ordinance disposal', all working with the rebel Transitional National Council to find the looted missiles.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://abcnews.go.com/Blotter/nightmare-libya-20000-surface-air-missiles-missing/story?id=14610199#.UZ4nrYdwrng&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}} David Ignatius reported on September 28,&lt;br /&gt;

By December David Ignatius of the ''Washington Post'' reported an ex-CIA's officer's attempt to track eight hundred shoulder-fired SAM-7s in the hands of Boko Haram hit a “speed bump” at the CIA, apparently blocking communication.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/libyan-missiles-on-the-loose/2012/05/08/gIQA1FCUBU_story.html?utm_term=.a091217ed1fd&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Boko Haram sex slaves====&lt;br /&gt;
In May 2012 Justice Dept. official [[Lisa Monaco]] wrote to Sec. Hillary Clinton asking to designate Boko Haram as a terrorist organization. The designation is needed to grant legal authority for various agencies, such as the FBI or Pentagon, to act. The following month, Gen. Carter Ham, the chief of U.S. Africa Command, said that Boko Haram provided a ‘safe haven’ for al Qaeda in North Africa, and was likely sharing explosives and funds with the group.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Morrissey, Ed (May 8, 2014).

Clinton refused despite requests coming from the US Justice Dept, the [[FBI]], and numerous Senators and Congressmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 4, 2014, 276 African Christian schoolgirls are kidnapped by [[Boko Haram]]. The girls were auctioned off by Muslim extremists as sex slaves. The Obama administration was asked repeatedly to designate the group as a terrorist organization so that counterterrorism agencies would have legal authority to counter it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.yahoo.com/news/hillary-dropped-ball-boko-haram-020300046--politics.html?ref=gs Hillary Dropped the Ball on Boko Haram], Josh Rogin, [The Daily Beast], May 7, 2014.  www.yahoo.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The administration did absolutely nothing, unless one considers promoting a Twitter hashtag discussion an anti-terrorism policy, to help locate and retrieve the girls.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the last three months of 2016, Fulani Muslims of Nigeria murdered 808 Christians and wounded 57, destroyed 1,422 houses and 16 churches.

&lt;br /&gt;
===Qatar===&lt;br /&gt;
Hillary Clinton's emails boast of Hillary Clinton engaging with [[UAE]], [[Qatar]], and [[Jordan]] between March 18–30, 2011 to seek their participation in coalition operations. Over the course of several days, all three devote aircraft to the mission.&lt;br /&gt;

In 2015 twenty-one Christians in Derna were beheaded ''enmasse''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 22, 2012, in a show of [[bipartisan]]ship, Senators [[Richard Blumenthal]], [[John McCain]], and [[Lindsey Graham]] visited Libya and meet with Abdulhakim Belhadj, who was put in charge of training jihadis in Eastern Libya (principally Derna and Benghazi) by the Obama administration for the second leg of Operation Zero Footprint in Syria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 5, 2014, the Shura Council of Shabab al-Islam Derna, Libya declared itself part of the Islamic State. In February 2015 the ISIS jihadis beheaded 21 Christians and distributed an uncut video of the gruesome event to world. On March 2, 2015, Katherine Herrige of FOX News reported that Obama administration senior intelligence officials told her Abdelhakim Belhadj is firmly aligned with ISIS and supports the Islamic State training camps in eastern Libya. &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;quot;Critics say Libya's new position as a safe haven for ISIS reflects one of the most significant policy failures of the so-called Arab Spring.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Herridge added that counter-terrorism sources have confirmed that the new support base for ISIS in eastern Libya is now providing &amp;quot;tangible assistance&amp;quot; in the form of training camps around the city of Derna, in addition to a growing number of Libyan fighters joining the terror group in Syria and Iraq.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://insider.foxnews.com/2015/03/02/catherine-herridge-isis-has-turned-libya-new-support-base-safe-haven&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Benghazi massacre===&lt;br /&gt;
It is clear in reading Hillary Clinton's emails that, in the glow of the fall of Muammar Gaddafi, Hillary embraced the call to spike the football and clearly was planning to use Libya as evidence of her leadership and skill that qualified her to become president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The attack on US diplomats and CIA officers in Benghazi on 11 September 2012 however, destroyed that dream. The dream became a nightmare and Hillary scrambled to pretend that she was not the mover-and-shaker that destabilized Libya and made it a safe haven for [[ISIS]], uncorking the bottle for the [[European migrant crisis]].&lt;br /&gt;
*'''11 September.''' [[Benghazi massacre]] on the 11th anniversary of the [[9/11 attacks]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Benghazi attack.jpg|right|250px|thumb|Amb. Stevens was specifically in Benghazi to oversee and facilitate transfer of captured weapons from the Gadaffi regime to groups in Syria which ultimately became the [[Islamic State]]. Few people had knowledge of this program beyond Stevens, Clinton, and Obama. Once the mission was completed, Stevens was expendable.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.amazon.com/REAL-Benghazi-Story-White-Hillary/dp/1531817130&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Some Obama officials became frustrated with CIA Dir. David Petraeus as he refused to go along with whitewashing the terrorist attack. Petraeus deputy Mike Morell was given authority over the [[fake news]] talking points, and aligned with Hillary Clinton's State Department against Petraeus's desires.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Benghazi &amp;quot;talking points&amp;quot; were born out of a request from Rep. Dutch Ruppersberger, ranking [[Democrat]] on the House Intelligence Committee, after a closed door briefing on the facts. Ruppersberger asked &amp;quot;what can I say on TV?&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/officials-on-benghazi-we-made-mistakes-but-without-malice/2/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Deputy National Security Advisor [[Ben Rhodes]] emailed that there would be a Deputies meeting the next morning to work out the issues. The administration's &amp;quot;Dream Team&amp;quot; set work writing the talking points to deceive the Congress and he public. The &amp;quot;Dream Team&amp;quot; consisted of: Maj. Gen. Darryl Roberson, Vice Dir. of Operations, Joint Staff; Matt Olson, Dir. of the National Counterterrorism Center; [[Andy McCabe]], Asst. Dir. of Counterterrorism for the FBI, later involved in the [[Hillary Clinton email scandal#Terry McAuliffe and the FBI|Hillary Clinton email]] coverup investigation; and Linda Weissgold from CIA Office of Terrorism Analysis (OTA). Linda Weissgold testified she changed one such talking point to say that extremists in Benghazi with ties to al Qaeda were involved in “protests,” despite the fact that no such protests had occurred on the day of the attack.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.weeklystandard.com/mcmaster-interviewed-cia-operative-to-replace-trump-nsc-official/article/2007219&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The final version called the attacks &amp;quot;demonstrations&amp;quot; that &amp;quot;evolved&amp;quot; after being &amp;quot;spontaneously inspired&amp;quot; by protest at the US Embassy in [[Cairo]]. All mentions of terrorism, al Qaeda and previous warnings given by the CIA had been excised.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Sunday September 16, 2012 with the presidential election less only 7 weeks away, [[Susan Rice]] appeared on all 5 Sunday morning talk shows to put out the fake news narrative​ that the Benghazi massacre was a &amp;quot;spontaneous demonstration&amp;quot; rather than a terrorist attack.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/uFf0dUH3OtU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The White House was fearful of upsetting Obama's chance of winning re-election by leveling with the public and delivering the truth of the matter.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Obama UN.jpg|right|275px|thumb|Obama crowing just days after the murder of Americans, &amp;quot;The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Two weeks to the day after the attack which killed four Americans including an Ambassador and left many with puzzling and unanswered questions, President Obama declared victory from the speakers platform at the United Nations using the premise of his [[strawman]] talking points, &amp;quot;[T]he future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/obamafuture.asp&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 2 Secretary Hillary Clinton announcef her selection of appointees to an Accountability Review Board (ARB), tasked with conducting an internal review and whitewash of the Benghazi massacre. The board begins work the same week. The Accountability Board investigators, fearful of besmirching their own reputations and integrity, ultimately never interviewed Clinton. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 15 Hillary Clinton first acknowledged that the State Dept. but decided against asking the Pentagon for help: {{Quotebox|&amp;quot;Well we considered everything and, um, we did as you know send additional assets from Tripoli. But it was a fast moving, very difficult assault to try to figure out. As you know, the assault on the post ended, there was a gap of time, then the assault on the annex, um, so everybody who had any responsibility was scrambling very hard to figure out what more could be done.&amp;quot; Clinton said they did not send assets from outside Libya &amp;quot;partly because of the difficulties of trying to do that...but I think all of this will be examined in the Accountability Review Board because after all we have this independent board to sort through everything.&amp;quot;}} Pentagon assets were never sent because the Defense Department was outside the compartmentalized State Dept/CIA loop that Obama's weapon smuggling operation run from Benghazi to ISIS under the 2012 Presidential covert action finding. The Pentagon had no knowledge of any US presence, State Dept. or CIA, in Benghazi during September 2012.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[CBS]] begins airing [[Sharyl Attkisson]]’s Benghazi stories which rely on [[Whistleblower Statutes|whistleblower]] and numerous government-linked confidential sources. These sources report that the [[Executive Branch]] is clamping down on leaks to reporters regarding the Benghazi massacre. In the weeks before his murder, Amb. Stevens sent the State Dept. several requests for increased security for diplomats in Libya, CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported. No outside US military help was sent to Benghazi despite the presence of a major naval air base in Sigonella, [[Italy]], less than one hour's flight away. Attkisson obtained some of the Obama administrations's first internal emergency alerts sent during the Benghazi massacre. As the assault began, at 4:05&amp;amp;nbsp;p.m. ET on September 11, an alert from the State Dept. Operations Center was issued to various government emergency watch lists including the White House Situation Room, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the FBI. Entitled &amp;quot;''US Diplomatic Mission in Benghazi Under Attack'',&amp;quot; the alert reports &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;quot;approximately 20 armed people fired shots; explosions have been heard as well. Ambassador Stevens, who is currently in Benghazi, and four COM (Chief of Mission/embassy) personnel are in the compound safe haven.&amp;quot; Another alert an hour later reported: &amp;quot;the firing... has stopped...A response team is on site attempting to locate COM personnel.&amp;quot; At 6:07 p.m. ET, an alert was sent with the subject heading &amp;quot;''Ansar al-Sharia Claims Responsibility for Benghazi Attack''.&amp;quot; The US Embassey in Tripoli, says the alert, reported the group &amp;quot;claimed responsibility on Facebook and Twitter and has called for an attack on Embassy Tripoli.&amp;quot;}} That alert was sent around midnight in Benghazi, hours before the wave of mortar attacks against the CIA Benghazi annex began.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Petraeus blackmailed====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As CIA Dir. Petraeus's interagency relationships deteriorated over his refusal to go along with White House and State Dept. Benghazi talking points, unnamed FBI agents reached out to Republicans in Congress to tell about Petraeus's affair. They eventually land at the office of Republican majority leader [[Eric Cantor]]. With the presidential elections about a week away, Cantor stays mum on the Petraeus rumors and instead contacts the FBI about them. The FBI interviewed Petraeus and Broadwell a second time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 1, 2012, with the election less than one week away. CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported that the Obama administration did not convene an emergency meeting of the Counterterrorism Security Group during the Benghazi massacre. Attkisson also reported on a draft letter obtained by ForeignPolicy.com, written the very day of the Benghazi massacre, that someone on the US team in Benghazi spotted a member of the local police photographing the inside of the US mission. The letter, intended for the head of the Libyan Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Benghazi, called for an investigation. Another draft letter written two days before the attack complained of an inadequate local police presence around the compound, requested ahead of Amb. Chris Stevens' arrival.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 6 Obama was reelected. Administration officials claim this day is the first time Dir. of National Intelligence Clapper was notified about the Petraeus affair by an unspecified official at the Justice Dept. Clapper called Petraeus and urged him to resign. Administration officials say somebody notified somebody at the White House about the Petraeus affair on Nov. 7. The President is reportedly looped in for the first time on Nov. 8. On Nov. 8, the Senate Intelligence Committee scheduled a closed hearing on the Benghazi massacre slated for November 15. Among those called to testify are CIA Dir. Gen. David Petraeus. Petraeus resigned the next day under threat of prosecution by Eric Holder's Justice Dept.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 16 Gen. Petraeus gave closed-door briefings to Congress on the Benghazi massacre, and when exactly U.S. officials knew it was a terrorist attack. After the hearing, members emerge saying CIA talking points on the attack were altered. A spokesman for the Office of the Director of National Intelligence said, &amp;quot;The talking points about the intelligence assessment that Amb. Rice used were produced by the [[intelligence community]]. Officials determined that the unclassified points should use the broader term 'extremists' when referring to those responsible for the attack.&amp;quot; On November 27 [[Susan Rice]] met with Sens. [[John McCain]] and [[Lindsey Graham]] on Capitol Hill to explain her remarks on the Benghazi massacre. Graham said afterword he was &amp;quot;more disturbed now than I was before,&amp;quot; and McCain said he was &amp;quot;significantly troubled by many of the answers that we got and some that we didn't get.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 5, 2013, CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported some of the first revelations on &amp;quot;who changed the Benghazi talking points.&amp;quot; One source who reviewed the documents said removal of the word &amp;quot;[[al Qaeda]]&amp;quot; from the talking points was initiated by one of the &amp;quot;press shops.&amp;quot; The source said press officers from the Defense Intelligence Agency, the White House and the FBI were &amp;quot;looped in&amp;quot; from the start and that some of them expressed concerns in writing, that the media would ask follow up questions if certain words or phrases were used. The source added that the [[Director of National Intelligence]] [[James Clapper]] and then-Deputy CIA Director Michael Morell were included in these emails. A DNI spokesman acknowledged that press officers from his agency and other agencies were looped in and took part in the talking points exchanges, but he said &amp;quot;no [ODNI] press officers suggested the edits of the specific words 'al Qaeda.'&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 14 CBS News reported Libyan and US investigators were questioning a suspect long affiliated with the [[Libyan Islamic Fighting Group]] (LIFG), and believed to have connections to other [[Islamist]] [[radical]]s. LIGF is one of the main terror groups the Obama administration funded. On April 17 CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported that the House Oversight Committee sent letters to the three federal agencies — the CIA, the Defense Department and the State Department — in response to new whistleblower revelations on the Benghazi massacre. The letters instruct how whistleblowers are to be able to share sensitive or classified information with their own attorneys, and ask for each agency's official description of the legal steps that process must follow. The letters also state that additional witnesses may be &amp;quot;compelled by [[subpoena]] to give testimony.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 23 Five House Committees issue an interim report on the Benghazi massacre naming Sec.of State Hillary Clinton and other Obama administration officials responsible for reducing security levels at the consulate, contradicting testimony Hillary Clinton gave under oath before Congress. The report issued by the Armed Services, Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, Intelligence and Oversight and Government Reform Committees reaches three major conclusions:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&lt;br /&gt;
*First, Clinton approved security reductions at the consulate, pointing to an April 2012 State Dept. cable bearing her signature. The cable was a formal request from then-Amb.Cretz for more security. In her testimony before Congress in January, Clinton said, &amp;quot;With specific security requests they didn't come to me. I had no knowledge of them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Secondly, the report charges that White House and senior State Dept. officials attempted to protect the State Dept. from criticism by altering accurate talking points drafted by Gen. Petraeus and the intelligence community. The report says that, after a Sept. 15, 2012 meeting, administration officials removed references to the likely participation of [[Islamic]] [[extremist]]s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
*Third, report contradicts Obama administration claims that the talking points were altered to protect classified information. None of the emails reviewed ever mentioned a concern about classified information.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Whitewash====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 30 an attorney for a whistleblower on the Sept. 11, 2012 massacre at Benghazi says the Obama administration is impeding her clients and others' efforts to speak.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/benghazi-whistleblowers-still-waiting-to-tell-their-story/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 5 excerpts of an interview investigators conducted with Gregory Hicks, the no. 2 U.S. diplomat in Libya who was in Tripoli during the Benghazi massacre are leaked to CBS News. The US diplomat contradicted the Obama White House version. &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|I never reported a demonstration; I reported an attack on the consulate. Chris [Stevens] last report, if you want to say his final report - is, 'Greg, we are under attack.'...I've never been as embarrassed in my life, in my career, as on that day&amp;quot; (that Susan Rice appeared on talk shows calling the attack the result of a demonstration,) The net impact of what has transpired is, [Rice,] the spokesperson of the most powerful country in the world, has basically said that the president of Libya is either a liar or doesn't know what he's talking about. ....My jaw hit the floor as I watched this.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The next day CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported more details from private testimony in which a team of Special Operation Forces prepared to fly from [[Tripoli]] to Benghazi during the Sept. 11, 2012 massacre was forbidden from doing so by US Special Operations Command Africa. The US Souda Bay Naval Base is an hour's flight from Libya. On May 8 three US officials stationed in Libya during the Sept. 11, 2012 terrorist attack deliver accounts of the events and aftermath. More criticism against the Obama administration for issuing stand-down orders to Special Operations Forces who were ready to assist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 10 a senior administration official tells CBS News' that the reports that State Dept. officials helped make final edits to the false information given to Congress about the Benghazi massacre - the same false information Susan Rice lied about in her television appearances on Sept. 16, 2012 - were &amp;quot;just false.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 11 CBS News' Sharyl Attkisson reported details of approximately 100 interagency government emails, sent on Sept. 14 and Sept. 15, 2012, regarding the content of the talking points used by Susan Rice on the Sunday shows about the Benghazi massacre. The talking points were revised numerous times.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 15 the White House releasesd some 100 pages of internal emails showing how CIA talking points originally referenced al Qaeda's links to the Benghazi massacre after revisions, the al Qaeda references were removed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 10, 2014, award-winning news anchor Sharyl Attkisson resigned from CBS, alleging the network was spiking news stories that were unflattering to Barack Obama.&amp;lt;ref name=Macneal-resignation&amp;gt;{{cite news|last=Macneal|first=Caitlin|title=CBS Investigative Reporter Sharyl Attkisson Resigns From Network|url=http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/sharyl-attkisson-cbs-resigns|accessdate=|newspaper=Talking Points Memo|date=March 10, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In her Best Seller, ''Stonewalled: One Reporter's Fight for Truth Against the Forces of Obstruction, Intimidation, and Harassment in Obama's Washington'',&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;NYT Best Stonewalled&amp;quot;&amp;gt;{{cite news|title=Best Sellers: Combined Print &amp;amp; E-Book Nonfiction|url=https://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/2014-11-23/combined-print-and-e-book-nonfiction/list.html|accessdate=|publisher=''The New York Times''|date=November 23, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Attkisson goes public with how her work and personal computers had been hacked for more than two years after she began filing stories about the Benghazi massacre.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/05/21/sharyl-attkisson-computers-compromised-cbs_n_3313199.html|title=CBS' Sharyl Attkisson: My Computers Were Compromised, 'Could Be Some Relationship' To DOJ Scandals|last=Mirkinson|first=Jack|date=May 21, 2013|work=[[The Huffington Post]]|accessdate=November 1, 2014}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; CBS News investigated and found evidence of multiple unauthorized accesses by a third party in late 2012.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite web|url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/06/14/sharyl-attkisson_n_3442019.html|title=CBS News Confirms Sharyl Attkisson's Computer Breached|date=June 14, 2013|work=[[The Huffington Post]]|accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The hackers were identified by independent experts as a US Government intelligence agency.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Citation|last=Smith|first=Kyle|author-link=|last2=Golding|first2=Bruce|title=Ex-CBS reporter: Government agency bugged my computer|newspaper=[[New York Post]]|date=October 27, 2014|url=http://nypost.com/2014/10/27/ex-cbs-reporter-government-related-entity-bugged-my-computer|accessdate=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In March 2015, Attkisson and her family initiated suit against Eric Holder, Patrick R.

&lt;br /&gt;
The Benghazi Mission was initially, and mistakenly by media, called “a consulate,&amp;quot; or a “consulate outpost.” But there are no State Dept. records of any consulate office in Benghazi.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.juancole.com/2014/05/questions-benghazi-consulate.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; This is why no Pentagon rescue operation was mounted, the Defense Dept. had no knowledge of US assets in Benghazi. The Benghazi weapons smuggling operation to ISIS was a CIA/State Dept. operation authorized by an Obama presidential covert action finding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 8, 2016, the House Select Committee on Beghazi voted on final version of report. The report found {{Quotebox|&amp;quot;Susan Rice’s comments on the Sunday talk shows were met with shock and disbelief by State Department employees in Washington. The Senior Libya Desk Officer, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, State Department, wrote: “I think Rice was off the reservation on this one.” The Deputy Director, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy, Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs, State Department, responded: “Off the reservation on five networks!” The Senior Advisor for Strategic Communications, Bureau of Near East Affairs, State Department, wrote: “WH [White House] very worried about the politics. This was all their doing.” [pg. 132]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://benghazi.house.gov/NewInfo&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===XKeyscore===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Xkeyscore-oglobo-3.png|right|300px|thumb|Xkeyscore monitoring stations globally capable of surveillance of electronic transmissions of anyone including presidents, Supreme Court justices, and members of congress.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Gaddafi had been a notorious state sponsor of terror for more than three decades prior to 2003, at which point he aquieced and complied with Western wishes, renouncing terrorism, paying [[reparations]] to victims, gave up his WMD, and joined the United States in its global [[war on terror]]. More accurately, the United States joined Gaddafi in his war on the radical Islamic terrorists. As a [[secular]] leader, Gaddafi had been battling the Muslim Brotherhood for decades. The Libyan Islamic Fighting Group was an Islamist group the United Kingdom began supporting in 1995 to overthrow Gaddafi. Many were veterans of the [[Soviet-Afghan jihad]], and fought the United States during the [[Iraq insurgency]] of 2004–11.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the period of alliance with Gaddafi in the war on terror (2003–2011), Gaddafi used his oil wealth to purchase the most advanced internet communications surveillance and counter-intelligence technology the West had to offer. His prisons, from which the CIA operated a rendition and torture program, were control centers equipped with the most advanced electronic mass surveillance system throughout North Africa and the Middle East. Arrests could be made within hours after reading an email, monitoring a [[Skype]] transmission or [[Youtube]] upload, or listening to a phone conversation. The arrestee would be brought to the prison for interrogation. This system functioned in conjunction with multinational technology giants and intelligence sharing agreements with the US [[intelligence community]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, Gaddafi purchased internet survellience technology from [[China]] used for population control. The relationship Gaddafi had with the US IC allowed for the real life design and testing of state-of-the-art mass surveillance technology of social media. In 2011 the Pentagon declared the internet a &amp;quot;domain of war,&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thehill.com/policy/technology/171531-pentagon-declares-the-internet-a-domain-of-war&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; alongside air, land, sea, and space, and began recruiting and training for Information War Specialists, or Cyberwarfare Specialists, assigned to the [[Air Force]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 3, 2011, the [[Obama administration]] secretly changed longstanding policy. The change created a “loophole” that Sen. [[Ron Wyden]] of the Intelligence Committee later says '''allows the NSA to conduct “backdoor searches,” or “incidental collection,” of US citizens’''' domestic communications.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/aug/09/nsa-loophole-warrantless-searches-email-calls&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On December 27, 2012, Democratic Sens. Ron Wyden and Mark Udall warn the public of the “back-door search loophole” or &amp;quot;incidental&amp;quot; collection of innocent Americans. Udall says,&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|As it is written, there is nothing to prohibit the intelligence community from searching through a pile of communications, which may have been incidentally or accidentally been collected without a warrant, to deliberately search for the phone calls or e-mails of specific Americans.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Sharyl Attkisson====&lt;br /&gt;
On October 4 in an internal email, the top press side to [[Attorney General|Attn. Gen.]] [[Eric Holder]] emailed White House operative Eric Schultz calling [[CBS News]] reporter [[Sharyl Attkisson]] “out of control.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.judicialwatch.org/document-archive/control/ p.764 pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
By October 2012 the Justice Dept. was stepping-up its National Security Division cyber efforts, holding specialized training at DOJ headquarters for the National Security Cyber Specialists (NSCS) network and the Criminal Division's Computer Crime and Intellectual Property Section (CCIPS). Immediately after election day, Attn. Gen. [[Eric Holder]] hosted a national training conference at Justice Dept. headquarters for the expanded efforts of DOJ's National Security Cyber Specialists (NSCS). On November 13 the FBI initiated a slew of cyber security case investigations that later related to Sharyl Attkisson of [[CBS News]] home and work computer intrusions. In December two intelligence-connected sources separately tell Attkisson that she's likely under government surveillance due to her reporting. One source tells her the government has pushed the envelope like never before and that the public would be shocked to “learn the extent that the government is conducting surveillance of private citizens.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2013 the FBI secretly opened a case on Sharyl Attkisson's computer intrusions under the auspices of '[[national security]].' The FBI contacted CBS without Attkisson's knowledge, nor contact or interview Attkisson. FBI later ignores multiple [[FOIA]] request and other documents.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
News of the FBI case involving Attkisson's computer intrusions was circulated internally to the [[Justice Department|Justice Dept.]]’s national cyber security group, and grouped with a set of cases opened on 20 November, shortly after the president's re-election in 2012.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;wyden.senate.gov&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://www.wyden.senate.gov/download/?id=285dc9e7-195a-4467-b0fe-caa857fc4e0d&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 7 CBS News publicly announced confirmation of Attkisson’s computer intrusions. &lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|“Attkisson’s computer was accessed by an unauthorized, external, unknown party on multiple occasions late in 2012…This party also used sophisticated methods to remove all possible indications of unauthorized activity, and alter system times to cause further confusion.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cbsnews.com/news/cbs-news-confirms-sharyl-attkissons-computer-hacked/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the [[Benghazi massacre]], when President Obama's jihadi allies turned on him and  murdered the US Ambassador, Obama issued a new secret directive ordering intelligence officials to draw up a list of overseas targets for cyberattacks. Obama also suffered much domestic criticism over the Benghazi massacre and, according to ''The Guardian'', the directive also “contemplates the possible use of cyber actions inside the US.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 12, 2013, the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court secretly approved the latest FBI request to continue obtaining daily telephone records of millions of [[Verizon]] customers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jun/06/verizon-telephone-data-court-order&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The judge ordered Verizon to turn over the information to the [[National Security Agency]] (NSA). This directly contradicted Clapper's March 12 testimony to Congress denying NSA metadata collection.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/nsmo0hUWJ08&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A secret memo in later exposed by NSA whistleblower Edward Snowden discussed how the US, along with British intelligence, is collecting information “directly from the servers of …[[Microsoft]], [[Yahoo]], [[Google]], [[Facebook]], PalTalk, [[AOL]], [[Skype]], [[YouTube]], [[Apple]].”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/us-intelligence-mining-data-from-nine-us-internet-companies-in-broad-secret-program/2013/06/06/3a0c0da8-cebf-11e2-8845-d970ccb04497_story.html?hpid=z1&amp;amp;utm_term=.c188c8af0ba0&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a daily series of leaks, on June 6 [[UK]] ''Guardian'' revealed NSA unlimited metadata collection under FISA protection. Data collection on 4 million of Verizon customers are collected daily.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/nsa-phone-records-verizon-court-order&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The following day the ''Guardian'' revealed NSA tapping through back doors into US internet companies such as Apple, Google and Facebook with a program called Prism [British GCHQ counterpart = Tempora].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/06/us-tech-giants-nsa-data&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; An 18-page memo also showed Obama ordering intelligence officials to draw up a list of overseas targets for cyberattacks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jun/07/obama-cyber-directive-full-text&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Simultaneously in [[Washington DC|Washington]] Obama publicly defended NSA wiretapping.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://usnews.newsvine.com/_news/2013/06/07/18824941-obama-nobody-is-listening-to-your-telephone-calls?lite&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The ''Guardian'' story was more evidence Obama DNI James Clapper misled Congress and the public about the true nature and extent of domestic intelligence gathering in his March 12 sworn testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee. The following day documents revealed the NSA's Boundless Informant program, which gives the agency near real-time ability to understand how much intelligence coverage there is on certain areas through use of a &amp;quot;heat map.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/08/nsa-boundless-informant-global-datamining&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Snowden====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 9, 2013 [[Edward Snowden]] stepped forward as the source of NSA leaks published in ''The Guardian''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/09/nsa-secret-surveillance-lawmakers-live&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Introducing himself Snowden said,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9u5ecSR_rag&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|“'''I, sitting at my desk, certainly had the authorities to wiretap anyone''', from you or your accountant, to a federal judge, to '''even the president''' if I had a personal e-mail.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It’s getting to the point you don’t have to have done anything wrong. You simply have to eventually fall under suspicion from somebody, even by a wrong call, and then they can use the system to go back in time and scrutinize every decision you have ever made.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
Training materials provided by Snowden for XKeyscore propgram detailed how analysts use it and other systems to mine enormous NSA databases by filling in a simple on-screen form giving only a broad justification for the search. The request is not reviewed by a court or any NSA personnel before it is processed. The program covers &amp;quot;nearly everything a typical user does on the internet&amp;quot;, including the content of emails, websites visited and searches, as well as their metadata. Under US law, the NSA is required to obtain an individualized [[FISA]] warrant only if the target of their surveillance is a 'US person',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2020/03/08/doj-political-surveillance-from-the-irs-in-2011-to-the-fisa-court-in-2016/ DOJ Political Surveillance – From the IRS in 2011 to the FISA Court in 2016], Posted on March 8, 2020 by sundance. theconservativetreehouse.com &amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; though no such warrant is required for intercepting the communications of Americans with foreign targets. But '''XKeyscore provides''' the technological capability, if not '''the legal authority, to target even US persons''' for extensive electronic surveillance '''without a warrant as long as''' some identifying information, such as '''an email or IP address, is known.''' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NSA analysts, using the XKeyscore program, can search through enormous databases of emails, online chats, and browsing histories of targets.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jul/31/nsa-top-secret-program-online-data&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/interactive/2013/jul/31/nsa-xkeyscore-program-full-presentation&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 16 Snowden revealed intelligence sharing with Britain's GCHQ (its intelligence agency) intercepting phone and internet communications of foreign politicians who attended two G-20 meetings in London in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Snowden leaked top-secret procedure steps the NSA must take to target and collect data from &amp;quot;non-US persons&amp;quot; and how it must minimize, or mask the identity of data collected on US citizens.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2013/jun/20/fisa-court-nsa-without-warrant&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 21 Snowden leaked how Britain's GCHQ taps fiber-optic cables to collect and store global email messages, Facebook posts, internet histories, and calls, and then shares the data with the NSA. Seven of the world's leading telecommunications companies provide GCHQ with secret, unlimited access to their network of undersea cables. The US government paid Britain's GCHQ roughly $155 million over three years to gain access and influence over its spying programs. NSA was found to be paying hundreds of millions of dollars each year to US companies for access to their networks.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 5, 2013, a joint investigation by ProPublica, ''The New York Times'', and ''The Guardian'' found the NSA is winning its war against internet encryption with supercomputers, technical know-how, and court orders. NSA also has the ability to access user data for most major smartphones on the market, including Apple iPhones, BlackBerrys, and Google Android phones.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late October it was revealed the NSA tapped the mobile phone of German Chancellor [[Angela Merkel]]. ''Der Spiegel'' reported Obama personally approved wiretapping Merkel's cell phone conversations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2017/03/17/flashback-barack-obama-wiretapped-german-chancellor-angela-merkel-in-2010/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In November Snowden leaks revealed that '''Britain's GCHQ and other European spy agencies work together to conduct mass surveillance. The files also make clear that GCHQ played a leading role in advising its European counterparts how to work around laws intended to restrict the surveillance power of intelligence agencies.''' ''The Guardian'' article reported,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2013/nov/01/gchq-europe-spy-agencies-mass-surveillance-snowden&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;[[File:450px-Edward Snowden 2013-10-9 (1) (cropped).jpg|right|225px|thumb|[[Edward Snowden]] warned of such abuse played out in 2016 and 2017: an [[Executive branch]] with unlimited. unrestrained power to spy on investigative Committees of Congress, political opponents, and even the Supreme Court.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|It is clear from the Snowden documents that GCHQ has become Europe's intelligence hub in the internet age, and not just because of its success in creating a legally permissive environment for its operations. Britain's location as the European gateway for many transatlantic cables, and its privileged relationship with the NSA has made GCHQ an essential partner for European agencies. The documents show British officials frequently lobbying the NSA on sharing of data with the Europeans and haggling over its security classification so it can be more widely disseminated. In the intelligence world, far more than it managed in diplomacy, Britain has made itself an indispensable bridge between America and Europe's spies.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In late November the ''Guardian'' revealed that the UK government struck a secret deal with the NSA to share phone, internet, and email records of UK citizens. And an NSA strategy document was published revealing the agency's goal to acquire data from &amp;quot;anyone, anytime, anywhere&amp;quot; and expand its already broad legal powers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2013/11/23/us/politics/nsa-report-outlined-goals-for-more-power.html?adxnnl=1&amp;amp;adxnnlx=1402013607-O4V0y2ArhGWsYy8IcbXOpQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On January 24, 2014 ''Guardian'' published a Snowden document revealing a GCHQ program called Squeaky Dolphin, which monitors [[YouTube]], Facebook, and [[Blogger]] for &amp;quot;broad real-time monitoring of online activity.&amp;quot; On February 7 NBC reported UK's GCHQ used &amp;quot;[[dirty tricks]]&amp;quot; such as computer viruses and sexual &amp;quot;honey traps&amp;quot; to target adversaries (see 27 October 2009).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nbcnews.com/news/investigations/snowden-docs-british-spies-used-sex-dirty-tricks-n23091&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 18 it was reported the NSA and UK's GCHQ monitored traffic to the [[WikiLeaks]] website and considered a move to monitor communications going to or from WikiLeaks and the Pirate Bay. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 24 ''Guardian'' reported the UK's GCHQ conducts covert operations to disrupt and shape online discourse.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theintercept.com/2014/02/24/jtrig-manipulation/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On February 28 UK's GCHQ, using a program called Optic Nerve, intercepted and stored webcam images from millions of Yahoo users, then passed them on to the NSA's XKeyscore database.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 13 document reveals that, while many foreign governments share information with NSA, few senior officials outside of the intelligence or defense sphere have any knowledge of it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theintercept.com/2014/03/13/nsa-elected-officials-foreign-countries-unaware-countries-cooperation-us/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Revelations published on April 4 showed NSA and UK's GCHQ discussing various methods of deception, use of propaganda, mass messaging, and pushing stories on social media sites. Snowden revealed GCHQ asked NSA for &amp;quot;unsupervised access&amp;quot; to NSA's databases.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 29, 2014, the Project on Government Oversight sent a letter to Obama and members of the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board to voice concerns over Executive Order 12333, the primary authority under which the NSA gathers foreign intelligence. Unlike a [[FISA]] warrant, the Executive Order provides the government with the latitude to conduct sweeping surveillance on US and non-US persons without judicial review as long as the monitoring is necessary to protect US interests from &amp;quot;foreign security threats,&amp;quot; an umbrella term that likely permits the surveillance of any foreign person.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.pogo.org/our-work/letters/2014/pogo-joins-group-letter-EO-12333.html?referrer=https://www.google.com/?referrer=http://circa.com/politics/government/if-proven-true-nunes-surveillance-revelations-raise-concerns-about-civil-liberties&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 22, 2015, the British Secretive Court rules NSA-UK sharing of bulk metadata before December 2014 was illegal, however, after the Snowden leaks, now that knowledge of the practice is in the public domain, US-UK intelligence metadata sharing is legal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://leaksource.wordpress.com/2015/02/22/ipt-rules-nsa-gchq-intel-sharing-illegal-prior-to-december-2014-legal-now-since-its-not-secret-anymore-huh/comment-page-1/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Legal intelligence sharing with foreign agencies is a convenient way for law enforcement in both countries to circumvent constitutional restrictions and obtain information without [[probable cause]] or a search warrant. Under a reciprocal agreement, the US can ask the UK to spy on a US citizen or vice-versa (as in the case of [[Diana, Princess of Wales|Lady Diana Spencer]]) as a national security prerogative. The UK doesn't need a warrant in the US, nor the US in the UK, and a person's [[civil rights]] may be &amp;quot;legally&amp;quot; violated under this loophole. The practice was originated by President [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] in 1938 by [[Executive Order]] allowing British intelligence to [[wiretap]] American citizens that Britain feared were monitoring ships leaving harbor in New York and New Jersey, making them vulnerable to [[U-boat]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Counterintelligence Reader, World War II, Chapter 3, p. 249&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===John Brennan===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:John-brennan.jpg|right|350px|thumb|John Brennan oversaw stomping out negative press reporting of the Obama administration by harassing journalists. Brennan authored a fake memo which was widely circulated with unmasked names in the closing days of the Obama administration alleging President-elect Trump was a [[KGB]] agent and Putin-stooge. On Jan. 12, 2017 a Tweet came from an NSA insider, &amp;quot;Their taking traitor Trump out now.&amp;quot;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Bush-era controversy over warrantless wiretaps was always only cover for the real source where information was gained - Brennan's torture program. At the same time it served public notice Americans had to surrender some freedoms and civil liberties to a group of insiders who knew what was best for them. Legalities didn't matter anymore. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 21, 2010, an internal email entitled “Obama Leak Investigations” at “global intelligence” company Stratfor claims Obama's then-White House adviser [[John Brennan]] is targeting [[journalist]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://web.archive.org/web/20120925054433/http://wikileaks.org:80/gifiles/docs/1210665_obama-leak-investigations-internal-use-only-pls-do-not.html]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/big-journalism/2013/05/22/wikileaks-stratfor-e-mail-brennan-behind-witch-hunt-of-journalists-reporting-leaks/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 7, 2013, the Senate confirmed [[John Brennan]] as CIA Director. Brennan, who ran the Bush-era torture program, now was in charge of writing the CIA's response to torture allegations in the Senate Intelligence Oversight Torture report.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.wsj.com/news/articles/SB10001424127887324034804578346692855187354&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; On May 10 Brennan met with Obama in the White House to discuss CIA's response to the Torture Report.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

By 2012 Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton both were running for president, Obama for re-election in 2012, Hillary to succeed him in 2016. Removing dictators in the Arab Spring was intended to give the impetus to both. But the Benghazi fiasco of September derailed Hillary's chances of remaining on in the State Department in Obama's second term, exposing covert operations, and slowed the progress of overthrowing Assad. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nevertheless, Hillary established an important donor base in the Middle East who had provided funds for the removal of Assad and Gadaffi,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.aljazeera.com/news/asia-pacific/2012/04/2012412022613580.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; then had a stake in seeing Hillary's election in 2016 through contributions to the [[Clinton Foundation]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2016/08/21/us/politics/hillary-clinton-presidential-campaign-charity.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The failure of the quick removal of Assad, along with Obama's complete disengagement of US troops from Iraq earlier, led to the unanticipated rise of the Islamic State in 2014, which further highlighted the failure of the Obama-Clinton foreign policy, and weakened Hillary's 2016 prospects.&lt;br /&gt;

The Syrian Government News Agency (SANA) said the weapons were intended ‘for use in actions that affect Syria’s internal security and spread unrest and chaos.’ The driver said the weapons had been loaded in [[Baghdad]] and he was to be paid $5,000 to deliver them to Syria.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.reuters.com/article/us-syria-iraq-idUSTRE72A3MI20110311 Syria says seizes weapons smuggled from Iraq], Mar 11, 2011&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The continuing war was fueled and funded by outside sources, and foreign fighters entering Syria from Turkey and Northern Iraq. The fighters were principally equipped and funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, although the CIA by June 2011, per Obama's presidential finding, was supplying jihadist elements with weapons from captured Libyan stockpiles.

The following month, [[Salafi]]sts, the [[Muslim Brotherhood]] and AQI [Al Qaeda in Iraq, later ISIS], supported by Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Turkey, were infiltrated into the southwest Syrian border town of Daraa, a town of 150,000 inhabitants (Western media previously claimed 300,000 protesters were in the streets). 20 Syrian government soldiers are ambushed and beheaded. These are the first known instances of what became the Obama-backed jihadi's trademark. Government troops were lured into the town after rooftop snipers began shooting at police during a civil demonstration. 90 people were killed in the days fighting. This also marked the end of internal civil opposition to the regime. For the next half decade, Syria's &amp;quot;Civil War,&amp;quot; as it was referred to in Western media, is a war between the Syrian Army and foreign jihadists backed by the United States, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and the Gulf states.&lt;br /&gt;

A leaked email stated that by December 7, 2012 Special Operations Forces from US, UK, France, Jordan, and Turkey were already on the ground in Syria training &amp;quot;opposition forces&amp;quot; and ready to act within 2–3 months.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://wikileaks.org/gifiles/docs/16/1671459_insight-military-intervention-in-syria-post-withdrawal.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:North-Syria-Map-696x284.png|right|300px|thumb|The Northern Syria jihadi corridor (in grey). Weapons and foreign jihadis enter Syris from Turkey through the jihadi corridor.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Just as France and the UK were the driving forces in persuading Obama and Hillary to get behind Libyan regime change, so to were Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey the driving forces behind Syrian regime change. In Libya, Gaddafi's African unity policy and development bank threatened established French and UK commercial investments. In Syria, Iranian support and the sanctuary given to [[Hezbollah]] - basically a standing contingent of the Iranian [[Quds Force]] on [[Israel]]'s northern border&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; - threatened both the Saudi kingdom and Israel. In both cases, Libya and Syria, Obama's policy of leading from behind - giving aid to minor allies who started unnecessary wars - had catastrophic consequences for the men, women, and children on three continents, victims of the parochial ambitions of minor state actors and ambitious career opportunists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, on a covert level, it had been a co-ordinated strategy from the beginning, to get rid of Gaddafi and Assad at once. First Gaddafi, then with captured weapons caches and experienced, fired up jihadis, ship them off to dispose of Assad, with Qatar and the US in the background as players since the UNSC 1970 was passed. Gaddafi took a little longer than anticipated, most thought he'd be out by April 2011, but it took until October. UK &amp;amp; France would bow out in the Syrian operation, where Saudi Arabia and Turkey stepped forward to play leading roles. And this was expected to be a tougher and slightly more enduring fight, six months behind schedule, but unlike Gaddafi, Assad still retained WMD, as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the history of this era is finally written, the biggest misperception and misnomer to emerge is the Syrian Civil War. There never was a Syrian Civil War. The first shots fired were by foreign actors intent upon regime change. &lt;br /&gt;

In January 2012 a Saudi diplomatic cable reads that the Kingdom &amp;quot;must seek by all means available and all possible ways to overthrow the current regime in Syria,&amp;quot; expressing fear of [[Russia]]n intervention if it cannot be done quickly, and noted &amp;quot;there is a lack of ‘desire’ and not a lack of ‘capability’ on the part of Western countries, chief among them the United States, to take firm steps...”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2016/02/26/newly-translated-wikileaks-saudi-cable-overthrow-the-syrian-regime-but-play-nice-with-russia/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 12, 2012 Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;Jake Sullivan b. 1976. Sullivan, who was 35 years old at the time is presumably one of the &amp;quot;35-year-old PhDs who love to talk, because that's the way you let everybody know how smart you are, is how much you talk.&amp;quot; Sec. Hagel continues, &amp;quot;[Obama] has a staff around him that's very inexperienced. I don't think there's one veteran on his senior staff at the White House. I don't believe there's one business person. I don't believe there's one person who's ever run anything. Other than [[Vice President Biden]], none of them have ever been elected to anything.&amp;quot; Sec. Gates criticized &amp;quot;staffers calling senior commanders out in the field and asking them questions, of second guessing commanders...I told my combatant commanders and field commanders … if you get calls from … the president, that's one thing. But if you get a call from some White House or National Security Council staffer, you tell them to call me instead, and then tell them, by the way, go to hell.&amp;quot; Hagel also criticized Susan Rice's approach and subservience to Obama.&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt; https://youtu.be/GPPx83VoLyY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; emails Sec.

Wikileaks released document 18328 Hillary Clinton email archive covering the week of April 22–29, 2012, NEW IRAN AND SYRIA 2.DOC. The email lays out a justification and strategy for the anti-Assad campaign.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;The document reads in part: &amp;quot;Iran's nuclear program and Syria's civil war may seem unconnected, but they are. For Israeli leaders, the real threat from a nuclear-armed Iran is not the prospect of an insane Iranian leader launching an unprovoked Iranian nuclear attack on Israel that would lead to the annihilation of&lt;br /&gt;
both countries. What Israeli military leaders really worry about -- but cannot talk about -- is losing their nuclear monopoly. An Iranian nuclear weapons capability would not only end that nuclear monopoly but could also prompt other adversaries, like Saudi Arabia and [[Egypt]], to go nuclear as well. The result would be a precarious nuclear balance in which Israel could not respond to provocations with conventional military strikes on Syria and Lebanon, as it can today.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/small&amp;gt;https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Adventure film maker [[Bernard-Henri Levy]] told al-Arabiya TV, &amp;quot;What we did in Libya is more doable in Syria.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.liveleak.com/view?i=87e_1456332942&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On July 30, 2012 ''The Guardian'' reported,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theguardian.com/world/2012/jul/30/al-qaida-rebels-battle-syria&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|&amp;lt;small&amp;gt;these were not average members of the Free Syrian Army. Abu Khuder and his men fight for [[al-Qaida]]. They call themselves the ghuraba’a, or “strangers”, after a famous jihadi poem celebrating Osama bin Laden’s time with his followers in the Afghan mountains, and they are one of a number of jihadi organisations establishing a foothold in the east of the country now that the conflict in Syria has stretched well into its second bloody year.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
They try to hide their presence. “Some people are worried about carrying the [black] flags” ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...[they] are working closely with the military council that commands the Free Syrian Army brigades in the region. “We meet almost every day,” he said. “We have clear instructions from our [al-Qaida] leadership that if the FSA need our help we should give it. We help them with IEDs and car bombs. Our main talent is in the bombing operations” ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“The FSA lacks the ability to plan and lacks military experience. That is what [al-Qaida] can bring. ...&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In a Presidential debate, Obama chastised [[Mitt Romney]] with:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox|I’m glad that you recognize that al Qaeda is a threat, because a few months ago when you were asked what’s the biggest geopolitical threat facing America, you said Russia.}}&lt;br /&gt;
Although the line is meant as a zinger, the mainstream media is not reporting (a) Obama armed and supported al Qaeda to overthrow Gaddafi; (b) the same al Qaeda groups Obama armed and assisted attacked the US embassey in Benghazi and murdered Americans; and (c) at that very moment Obama was arming al Qaede in Syria which mutated into the Islamic State.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Flynn report===&lt;br /&gt;
On July 25, 2012, a US Chinook helicopter was shot down by the [[Taliban]] in Afghanistan by latest generation of the Stinger available for export. A serial number from the missile casing was recovered, tracing the Stinger's origin to a lot entrusted to the CIA which was delivered to Qatar. Under Obama's covert action finding the Stinger was intended for Libya and Syrian jihadis. Hillary Clinton's State Dept. and John Brennan's CIA jointly ran the covert weapons supply program,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://nypost.com/2014/06/08/how-the-taliban-got-their-hands-on-modern-us-missiles/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; leaving the Pentagon and Gen.[[Michael Flynn]]'s [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] out of the loop. Some of the Stinger's that Qater illegally transferred to the Taliban may have been recovered in a trade for 5 Taliban commanders released from Guantanamo.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 12 Flynn's Defense Intelligence Agency circulated widely a document to [[CENTCOM]], the CIA, FBI, [[DHS]], NGA (National Geospacial Agency), State Dept., and other members of the [[Intelligence Community]]. The document stated that West powers (NATO powers), members of the Gulf Cooperation Council ([[Bahrain]], [[Kuwait]], [[Oman]], Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the [[United Arab Emirates]]), and [[Turkey]] want an [[Islamic State]] (&amp;quot;Salafist principality in Eastern Syria&amp;quot;) to oppose the regime of [[Bashar al-Assad]].&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Flynn had been Director of the Defense Intelligence Agency for about three weeks. Flynn opposed the creation of the Islamic State. After it was declared in June 2014, Flynn was fired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 5, while Bill Clinton was introducing Barack Obama at the Democratic National Convention to deliver his re-nomination Acceptance Speech, at that very  moment the first female [[African-American]] combat pilot was shot down and killed by a shoulder-fired missile in Afghanistan. Army Chief Warrant Officer Thalia S. Ramirez was killed by a Stinger missile most likely procured through the CIA's Libya-Qater pipeline.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same day a Libyan ship, Al Entisar (“The Victory”), docked in the Turkish port of Iskenderun carrying 400 tons of cargo including weapons such as rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs) and shoulder-launched SAM-7 surface-to-air missiles (aka MANPADS) destined for Syrian jihadis.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/10/25/was-syrian-weapons-shipment-factor-in-ambassadors-benghazi-visit.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A month later ''[[Time magazine]]'' announced the formation of the 20,000 man Omar al-Farouq Brigade in Syria, one of the supposed &amp;quot;moderate rebel&amp;quot; groups receiving American funding under the umbrella [[Free Syrian Army]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://world.time.com/2012/10/05/syrias-up-and-coming-rebels-who-are-the-farouq-brigades-2/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In May 2015 [[Human Rights Watch]] released a video of one of the group's commanders carving the heart and liver out of a dead Assad regime soldier and eating the heart.&lt;br /&gt;

On April 8, 2013, as Gen. Flynn foretold, the Islamic State of Iraq (aka AQI) proclaimed itself the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria. Two weeks later the [[European Union]] lifted oil sanctions to make it legal for European entities to buy oil from al Nusra (Al Qaeda in Syria) and the Islamic State.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-22254996&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Three weeks later [[Human Rights Watch]] released a video of a commander of an Obama administration &amp;quot;moderate rebel&amp;quot; group carving the heart and liver out of a dead Assad regime soldier, and eating it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.hrw.org/news/2013/05/13/syria-brigade-fighting-homs-implicated-atrocities&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-23190533&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3524976/CANNIBAL-moderate-Syrian-rebel-cut-ate-Assad-soldier-s-heart-liver-killed.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Menagh Air Base was captured from the Syrian government on August 6 by ISIS, it was celebrated as great victory by Western [[mainstream media]] organizations.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://levantreport.com/2014/09/13/isis-as-u-s-creation-the-clearest-authenticated-video-evidence-to-date/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
On April 30, 2014, DNI James Clapper began taking steps to remove [[Defense Intelligence Agency]] Chief Mike Flynn, head of one of the 16 member agencies of the US Intelligence Community, for his dissention of the course President Barack Obama set US counter-intelligence policy on, aligning with radical [[Islamic]] [[jihad]]ists, and expending the lives of American Armed Service personnal in a cavalier fashion.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
President-elect Donald Trump named Gen. Flynn as his [[National Security Advisor]], a clear signal to the [[Intelligence Community]] of a reversal of course of the disastrous policies Obama and the [[Deep State]] operatives had set country on. Flynn knew where the bodies were buried. On December 10, 2016, Deep State operative John Schindler issued series of threats and ultimatums on [[Twitter]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://storify.com/DemFromCT/john-schindler-with-a-look-at-donald-trump-s-war-w&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In April 2016 it was reported John Brennan was behind the targeting of Michael Flynn. The '''motivations for Brennan's intense dislike of Michael Flynn date back years to when Flynn was producing intel documents that showed how the supposed 'Syrian moderates' were funded by persons and groups in [[Saudi Arabia]] and [[Qatar]]'''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://gotnews.com/breaking-barackobamas-cia-director-john-brennan-allies-targeting-trump-supporters-surveillance/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Canadian Parliament Hill attack occurred on October 22, 2014, in  &lt;br /&gt;
[[Ottawa]]. A Canadian born jihadi shot and killed an honor guard in the back at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, on the grounds of the National War Memorial. The jihadi fled to the Parliament building where Members of Parliament were in caucus. In an exchange of gunfire, he was shot and killed by the of the Sergeant-at-Arms of the House of Commons. Three others sustained injuries.&lt;br /&gt;

The government of Sweden stopped issuing crime statistics in 2014 when it was reported that murders committed by refugees and migrants occurred at a rate 400% greater than native Swedes, and rapes committed by foreign migrants 550% greater.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On New Year's Eve the largest [[rape jihad]] to date was reported in [[Cologne]], Germany. Over 1000 women and girls were sexually assaulted by Muslims. Over the next several years, only 21 males were ever arrested.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://en.europenews.dk/Europes-Muslim-rape-epidemic-Cologne-is-every-day-133138.html Europe’s Muslim rape epidemic: ‘Cologne is every day’], July 12, 2016.  en.europenews.dk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One week later the Charlie Hedbo attacks occurred in Paris. 12 people were slaughtered by gunmen 'avenging' insults of the Prophet of Islam at a newspaper office which printed satirical cartoons. 10 others were wounded. The day after a policewoman investigating a traffic accident was ambushed and killed by a Muslim extremist, and the following day four hostages were killed by an Islamic gunman at Jewish grocery. In North Belfast, [[Ireland]], an immigrant from [[Somalia]] stabbed a man to death on the street while yelling a 'Jihadi war cry,' according to censored media reports.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 3, 2015, in Nice, France three French soldiers standing guard at a Jewish center were stabbed by a radical Muslim.&lt;br /&gt;

===Christians beheaded===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Mass beheading of Christians in Libya.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Libya was an ally of the US against the jihadis until Obama armed the jihadis to overthrew the government. One of their first acts was the mass beheading of Christians.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On February 12, 2015, twenty-one [[Christian]]s were mass beheaded in Derna, Libya by Obama's Islamic State militants after Obama liberated the country for &amp;quot;humanitarian&amp;quot; purposes. Two days later in [[Copenhagen]] [[Denmark]], while praising [[Allah]], a gunman fired into a cafe hosting a [[free speech]] event organized by a cartoonist critical of Islam, killing one participant. The next  day again in Copenhagen, a 37-year-old [[Jewish]] man guarding a [[synagogue]] is gunned down by a Muslim radical. Four days later a [[White House]] summit, allegedly on [[violent]] [[extremism]], opened with a Muslim call to prayer.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article/penny-starr/white-house-summit-violent-extremism-opens-muslim-prayer-no-other-faiths&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the [[European migrant crisis]] mounted, on April 16, 2015, while en route to [[Sicily]], Italy, twelve Christians on a refugee boat were thrown to their deaths by Muslims. A month later in [[Macedonia]], along the Western Balkan route, Muslim terrorists waged a running battle with police, killing at eight and wounding thirty-seven. By late summer and into the fall, in Sweden a woman and her son were beheaded in an IKEA parking lot by angry Muslims who just left a government immigration office where one was informed he would be deported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.barenakedislam.com/2015/08/12/sweden-new-photo-of-what-appears-to-be-a-beheading-victim-in-ikea-indicates-that-the-asylum-seeking-knife-attackers-were-likely-muslims/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The beheading was reported in the United States by CBS News as &amp;quot;a knife attack.&amp;quot; In October the Swedish Migration Board covered up a gang rape of a 3-year-old toddler and prevented police from investigating.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://speisa.com/modules/articles/index.php/item.2121/a-refugee-raped-a-three-year-old-child-the-migration-board-tried-to-conceal-the-incident.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On November 13 in [[Paris]], Islamic terrorists opened fire and throw bombs during a concert at a music hall, killing 89 people and injuring 322 while shouting 'Allah Akbar' (Bataclan). At a restaurant (Belle Equipe), Muslims murdered 19 and wounded 9 and killed 15 more innocents,injuring 10 at two other restaurants (Le Carillon and Le Petit Cambodge). At a Parisian bar and pizzeria  (La Bonne Biere, Casa Nostra) 5 patrons were killed and 8 injured.  A suicide bombing occurred outside a cafe (Comptoir Voltaire), and a passerby was killed with two suicide blasts outside a soccer stadium (Stade de France) and a nearby McDonald's.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four days later ''[[Bloomberg]]'' reported &amp;quot;In a call with senior Obama administration officials Tuesday evening, several [[governor]]s demanded they be given access to information about [[Hillary Clinton Foreign Policy#Syria|Syrian refugees]] about to be resettled by the federal government in their states. Top White House officials refused.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-11-18/states-press-white-house-for-details-on-syrian-refugees&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; A reported 85,000 have been resettled in the [[United States]]. A month later the Islamic State [[Caliph]] decreed that Christians in Sweden must convert to Islam or face beheading.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.express.co.uk/news/world/626885/Islamic-State-ISIS-letters-Sweden-convert-Islam-decapitated-murder-jihadi-Syria ISIS BEHEADING PLOT - Jihadis send LETTERS to EU civilians ordering them to convert or die], By NICK GUTTERIDGE, ''Daily Express'', Dec 18, 2015.  www.express.co.uk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; After Flynn's firing by Obama, with New Year Donald Trump publicly accused Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama of creating ISIS.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/QcEMH5YuI6E&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 16, 2016, at an 'anti-[[racist]]' rock concert, Swedish girls were raped by Muslim men public. Police, government, and media colluded for months to cover-up the facts from the public.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.spectator.co.uk/2016/01/its-not-only-germany-that-covers-up-mass-sex-attacks-by-migrant-men-swedens-record-is-shameful/ Sweden’s record is shameful Stockholm police were warned not to give descriptions of the perpetrators lest they were accused of being racist], Ivar Arpi, ''The Spectator'', 16 January 2016.  www.spectator.co.uk&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Nine days later a young Swedish [[female]] working at a refugee centre was stabbed to death by a Muslim migrant.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/migrant-crisis-young-female-refugee-centre-worker-stabbed-death-by-migrant-sweden-1540020 Migrant crisis: Young female refugee centre worker stabbed to death by migrant in Sweden], Mark Piggott By Mark Piggott, International Business Times, January 25, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The next day Swedish police were unable to enter a refugee center to assist a child who was gang raped by Muslim refugees.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.jihadwatch.org/2016/01/sweden-muslim-migrants-force-police-to-flee-refugee-center Sweden: Muslim migrants force police to flee refugee center], [[Robert Spencer]], Jihad Watch, JANUARY 26, 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 22, 2016, fourteen people were murdered and 92 injured in [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]] when two radical Islamic suicide bombers detonated nail-packed explosives at crowded airline counters. Meanwhile, at the Maelbeek ([[Molenbeek]]) metro station in Brussels, another suicide bomber on a subway train incinerated 21 commuters and injured 130 others. Former NSA analyst John Schindler wrote in the ''Observer'',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://observer.com/2016/03/europe-is-again-at-war/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox-float|Europe is now at war again. The threat today is less terrorism than a low-grade insurgency, a [[guerrilla war]] of sorts, that hangs over much of the continent as thousands of jihadists, made proficient killers by ISIS in Syria and Iraq, return home with visions of killing “infidels,” their former neighbors. There will be no parley or negotiation with such mass murderers.}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 31 in Sweden, a woman welcomed Muslim refugee into her home and was raped.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.wnd.com/2016/05/woman-welcomes-muslim-refugee-into-home-gets-raped/ WOMAN WELCOMES MUSLIM 'REFUGEE' INTO HOME, GETS RAPED], Leo Hohmann, ''[[World Net Daily]]'', 05/31/2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Reports indicate that rape skyrocketed 1500% in Sweden,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.israelvideonetwork.com/video-swedens-migrant-rape-epidemic/ Sweden’s Migrant Rape Epidemic Revealed].  www.israelvideonetwork.com&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which were criticized as [[Islamophobic]]. By June in Belgium again a [[transgender]] was stabbed by Islamic radicals. [[Gay rights]] activists remained silent. In [[Orlando]], Florida a soldier of the Islamic State killed 49 people and wounded 58 others in the largest massing shooting spree in [[American history]] at gay nightclub. In Stockholm, Sweden, a 21-year-old woman from Iran was honor killed by her cousin for taking off her veil and trying to live independently. [[Feminist]]s globally remained silent.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 14 in [[Nice]], France, on [[Bastille Day]], literally called ''The National Celebration'' commemorating the turning point of the [[French Revolution]] and the unity of the French people with parades and fireworks throughout France. a Muslim migrant driving a truck runs over and kills 86 people, including 10 children while shouting praises to Allah. 202 are injured. Days later in Germany, a 'refugee' with an axe hacked 5 people on a train while screaming 'Allah Akbar'.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
July 19, Obama-backed Syrian rebels beheaded a 12-year-old boy.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerocensorship.com/uncensored/syrian/boys-beheading-execution-by-rebels-video-295973&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3697770/US-backed-Nour-al-Din-al-Zenki-behead-boy-accused-al-Quds-spy-Assad.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.therussophile.org/syria-beheading-of-palestinian-child-prompts-us-to-disassociate-from-its-proxy-psychopaths.html/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/breaking-killers-of-the-palestinian-child-put-it-clearly-we-are-even-worse-than-isis/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.almasdarnews.com/article/aleppo-rebels-behead-a-child/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://yallalabarra.wordpress.com/2016/07/20/the-us-needs-proof-that-zinki-beheaded-the-boy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/RPipnhNzUpY&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The group had been certified &amp;quot;moderate&amp;quot; by Brennan's CIA and received TOW missiles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Days later in Ansbach, Germany a Syrian 'asylum seeker' detonated a nail-packed suicide bomb, injuring fifteen people at a wine bar outside a music festival. A week after that, Muslim radicals take hostages at a [[church]] in France and slit the throat of an 84-year-old [[priest]]. The next week in London a [[Somali]] teen ran out of a [[mosque]] and stabbed an [[American]] tourist to death while chanting 'Allah, Allah.' Five others were injured in the attack. 3 days later a man attacks two female police officers in Belgium with a machete while praising Allah. 4 days after that a suicide bomber detonated a bomb in a taxi in Canada, injuring the driver. Next day in Dagestan, Russian Federation, two policemen were shot to death and a judge were shot to death by suspected jihadis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 19 in [[Strasbourg]], seat of the [[European Parliament]], a [[rabbi]] in orthodox clothing was stabbed by a man shouting praises to Allah. Next day in [[Roanoke]], VA a man and woman were stabbed maliciously by a 'radicalized' man yelling praises to Allah. 10 days later another stabbing of a female police officer in Toulouse, France by a Muslim in a planned attack. The next day in Denmark, two policemen and a civilian were shot by a Bosnian-born Muslim with ties to ISIS. Two days later in France, a Muslim radical stabbed a police officer, and the following day Islamists savagely beat a writer and his son over a book about jihad.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 7 in Brussels a Muslim attacked and injured two police officers with a knife, and the following day In Boussy-Saint-Antoine, France a Muslim woman stabbed a police officer after planting explosives outside a [[cathedral]]. And the next day in England, a Muslim cut and held his neighbor at knifepoint, but is talked out of beheading him after 'frogmarching' him to a [[mosque]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most all the jihad attacks went unreported in the United States - particularly the attacks on police as the Islamic State instructed - because of the public's preoccupation with the [[2016 presidential election]], and the [[mainstream media]]'s preoccupation with [[slander]]ing Donald Trumpm who vowed to limit immigration from Islamic Republics. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four days later in [[Toronto]], Canada, a 28-year-old student was stabbed to death after debating Islam with a Muslim. In the United States three days later, a former asylum seeker planted several explosives in [[New York]], one of which injures twenty-nine innocent people. He also shot two policemen two days later. 3 weeks after the election, a Muslim immigrant in Columbus OH stabbed 11 people because he &amp;quot;couldn't find a place to pray&amp;quot; that wasn't contaminated by dirty infidels.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://pjmedia.com/homeland-security/2016/12/01/isis-newspaper-hails-ohio-state-terrorist-calls-for-continuation-of-attacks-on-america/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After Hillary's defeat, to cover their crimes in a rear-guard action as they withdrew from the field, all elements within the US government [[IC]] complicit in Obama war crimes converted the Russian hacking theory - originally the cover ploy for an inside leaker - to attack Donald Trump. Those complicit knew Trump was determined to alter course, and after years of experience of violating citizen's rights through the misuse of foreign Intelligence gathering capabilities to influence domestic politics, it was easy to do.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A week before Christmas in Berlin an 'asylum seeker' murdered a driver, stole his truck, and drove over 11 patrons of a festive Christmas market at the Kaiser Wilhelm Church on the Kurfürstendammon, Berlin's most famous street. 56 others are injured. The outdoor Christmas market tradition is over 600 years old. The attack took place in the shadow of the national monument.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Christmas Day in [[Switzerland]], Muslims attacked Christians going to [[Christmas]] Mass,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://raymondibrahim.com/2017/03/13/death-destruction-christmas-muslim-persecution-christians-december-2016/]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and an Austrian woman was stabbed for reading the [[Bible]] at a refugee center. The [[Archbishop]] of [[Austria]] delivered his [[Christmas|Christmas Day]] message:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Europe’s Christian legacy is in danger, because we Europeans have squandered it. That has absolutely nothing to do with Islam nor with the refugees. It is clear that many Islamists would like to take advantage of our weakness, but they are not responsible for it. We are.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Tunisia==&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2011 [[Tunisia]]n president [[Zine al-Abidine Ben Ali]] resigned after a series of protest.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.frontpagemag.com/fpm/82000/revolution-arab-world-ryan-mauro&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Yemen==&lt;br /&gt;
[[al-Qaeda]] is stronger in [[Yemen]] with control on some cities. In 2015 Shia [[Hothis|Houthi]]-rebels took control over parts of Yemen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 10, 2016, the [[BBC]] reported the United States could be implicated in [[war crimes]] in Yemen.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bbc.com/news/world-middle-east-37607248&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The '''European Union (EU)''', also known as the '''Fourth Reich''', is an [[anti-democratic]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/editorials/brexits-in-trouble-the-us-can-help&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; experiment in [[globalism]], combining very different cultures and nations into an auxillery defense bloc of the [[NATO]] alliance consisting of 27 [[European]] countries.  The EU was formed in 1993 with the ratification of the [[Maastricht Treaty]], though its predecessor, the [[European Economic Community]], was founded in 1957.  It is not the same as &amp;quot;[[Europe]]&amp;quot;, though most nations from the continent have joined the EU, but [[Britain]] left it in 2020.  The EU seems to cause more harm than benefit, as it did by adopting a [[lebensraum]] policy to incorporate  [[Ukraine]] into the EU reich on Feb. 28, 2022, rather than deescalating the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022|Russia-Ukraine conflict]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a set of institutions, the EU has more powers over its member states and their citizens than other international bodies; many of its competencies are supranational (above the member states) rather than intergovernmental (between them).  Despite having a legal personality and sovereignty in agreed areas, it is not regarded as a federation or state in its own right: rather, it stands somewhere between these two points.  Unlike most democratic unions that are formed from the [[grassroots]] up, the European Union was imposed on the people of Europe from the top down by oligarchs and bureaucrats.  Fifteen member states use a common currency, the '''[[euro]]'''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Five other states formally agree to use it, and four others use it without formal agreement.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The EU is moving in the direction of eventually becoming a politically unified federation, something which many of its leaders consciously support.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Newman, Alex (August 20, 2013). [https://www.thenewamerican.com/world-news/item/16343-the-eu-regionalization-trumps-sovereignty The EU: Regionalization Trumps Sovereignty]. ''The New American''. Retrieved November 25, 2017.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There is no EU military.  Each nation has its own forces, but nearly all are members of [[NATO]], in which the U.S. has a preponderant voice and provides a disproportionate share of funding. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EU is a driving force of global economic and political integration, but Hix (2008) sees three problems with the EU: policy gridlock, lack of popular legitimacy and the democratic deficit. He notes, &amp;quot;In substantive terms ... the EU is closer to a form of enlightened despotism than a genuine democracy.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Hix (2008)&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; In addition, on February 5, 2000, John Laughland indicated in ''The Spectator'' that the European Union's entire purpose was to subject Western Europe to Marxist–Leninist/Marxist-Trotskyist thought.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;THE [European ]UNION CAN MAKE A VITAL CONTRIBUTION to the reform of the international economic architecture and to the establishment of a mechanism for collective governance.&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
*From: Commission of the European Communities&lt;br /&gt;
*Brussels 9.2.2000 [COM (2000) 154 final]&lt;br /&gt;
Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, The Council, The Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions:&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
*STRATEGIC OBJECTIVES 2000-2005&lt;br /&gt;
*&amp;quot;SHAPING THE NEW EUROPE&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Writing in The Spectator (London) of 5th February 2000 John Laughland stated that &amp;quot;The West is now on the verge of achieving that of which Lenin and Trotsky dreamed in 1917. For the point is not to replace nation states with a European or world superstate. It is instead to achieve the old Marxist dream of abolishing statehood altogether&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the EU's facilitation of the [[European migrant crisis]], [[Euroskeptic]]s and native [[populist]] movements regard the EU as a [[totalitarian]] [[bureaucracy]]. In 2016, the UK voted to leave the EU; a process termed [[Brexit]], making them the first country to leave the European Union. This decision was finalized on January 1, 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{cite news |url=https://www.euronews.com/2020/12/31/brexit-begins-for-real-on-friday-but-what-are-the-key-changes |title= Brexit has happened. UK and EU finally split as a New Year dawns. But what are the key changes? |publisher=Euronews |date=1 January 2021|access-date=19 June 2021}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Politics==&lt;br /&gt;
Each nation elects members to the Parliament in proportion to population.  The June 2009 elections saw sweeping gains by conservative and anti-immigration parties, as labor and socialist parties lost heavily.  Since the 2004 elections the largest grouping has for the last five years been the centre-right European People's Party '''EPP''' (288 seats out of a current 785), followed by the centre-left '''PES''' (216) and the liberal '''ALDE''' (100). With the 2009 election EPP made gains and retains power in the parliament.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Conservative Jose Manuel Barroso, who will have a second term as European Commission president, thanked voters and assured them their voices would be heard. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2009 The British [[Labour Party]], Germany's [[SPD]] (Social Democrats) and France's Socialist Party suffered historic defeats—the worst defeat for Labour in Britain in a century.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turnout was at an all-time low in some countries, including France (41%) and Germany (42%).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Structure==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The European Commission===&lt;br /&gt;
In September 2009 Jose Manuel Barroso, was re-elected as president of the [[European Commission]] after the European Parliament voted to give him a second term. This ended weeks of uncertainty during which Socialist, Green and Liberal critics tried to block Mr Barroso's candidacy on the grounds that he had yielded too much power to national governments and promoted the kind of free-market liberalism that led to the financial crisis.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The role and responsibilities of the European Commission place it at the centre of the EU's decision-making process. Acting as the EU's policy and executive engine, the Commission is composed of 28 Commissioners, one from each state, and is supported by a substantial staff located primarily in [[Brussels]], [[Belgium]]. In matters relating to economic integration (&amp;quot;First or 'Community' Pillar&amp;quot;), only the Commission has the right to propose legislation for approval by the EU Council and European Parliament. As &amp;quot;guardian of the Treaties,&amp;quot; the Commission ensures that EU laws are applied and upheld throughout the EU, prosecuting member states and other institutions for failing to follow treaty precepts or otherwise apply Community law. The Commission has full authority to enforce Community competition policy, and its policing of implementation of Community legislation preserves the integrity of the EU single market. The Commission likewise manages and develops the Common Agriculture Policy (CAP), implements the budget, and represents the European Community in its areas of competence, notably including international trade negotiations. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Commission President is appointed by agreement of the EU heads of government and is subject to approval by the European Parliament. Commissioners serve for a renewable five-year term. New Commissioners are identified by member state governments in consultation with the President-designate of the Commission and are normally put in place at the beginning of the term of the Commission President. The entire Commission must be confirmed as a collective whole by the European Parliament before its formal appointment by common accord of EU governments.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As the [[Russophobic]] sanctions episode demonstrated, the European Commission has no humility or reverse gear from its [[bigot]]ry, hate, and [[racism]] when it makes ill-advised decisions adversely affecting the lives of the people of Europe.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The European Council===&lt;br /&gt;
The European Council brings together EU heads of government and the President of the European Commission; foreign ministers of member states also participate. Finance ministers are normally included when the leaders discuss questions related to the euro and the economy. The European Council meets at least twice a year, usually quarterly, at the end of each Presidency, to review major EU projects, set guidelines for policies and provide necessary guidance. The Presidency of the Council rotates every six months among EU member states (January&amp;amp;ndash;June; July&amp;amp;ndash;December). Its role has become increasingly important with the expansion of EU responsibilities and competencies. The Presidency organises and presides over the meetings of the European Council and EU Council (ministerial) meetings, drafts compromises, and seeks solutions to problems submitted to the European Council. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Council of Ministers===&lt;br /&gt;
The Council of Ministers of the European Union (the &amp;quot;EU Council&amp;quot;) is the body in which representatives of the individual member state governments, usually ministers, legislate for the EU, set its political objectives, coordinate national policies and resolve differences among their governments and with other EU bodies. Legally speaking, there is only one Council, but it meets in nine different formations, depending on the matters on its agenda. Foreign ministers usually meet at least once a month in the General Affairs and External Relations Council (GAERC), which deals with major foreign policy issues and plays a coordinating role. Ministers for the Economy and Finance (ECOFIN) and ministers responsible for agriculture also hold monthly meetings. Ministers for Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) hold regular meetings to coordinate policies within their competence. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Council holds formal sessions in its Brussels headquarters, except in April, June and October, when all sessions take place in Luxembourg. Most formations of the Council also meet informally (tasking no legally binding decisions) in the country holding the EU Presidency, usually once in the course of the Presidency's six-month term. The most prominent of these informal meetings is the so-called &amp;quot;Gymnich&amp;quot; meeting of foreign ministers, named for a town in Germany where the first such meeting took place. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Council takes most decisions under the Community Pillar by qualified majority voting (QMV) but endeavours to reach the broadest possible consensus before approving legislation. Unanimity is required for a number of specific areas related to economic integration (e.g. taxation), constitutional matters such as amendments to the treaties, the launching of a new common policy, the accession of a new member state, and matters falling within the EU's Common Foreign and Security Policy, European Security and Defence Policy, and aspects of law enforcement and judicial cooperation. The number of votes cast by each member state when the EU Council votes by qualified majority voting was determined by the Nice Treaty and roughly correlates to the size of its population. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The [[European Parliament]]===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Conchita Wurst Ban Ki Moon.jpg|right|300px|thumb|UN Geneal Secretary Ban Ki-Moon with singer Conchita Wurst. In 2014 Wurst was invited to sing before the European Parliament.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament is the largest trans-national parliament in the world, and the second-largest overall (behind [[India]]), with an electorate of almost half a billion. Members of the Parliament are directly elected by all EU citizens for five-year terms; elections follow national election procedures, except they have to be a form of proportional representation. Members do not sit in national delegations; rather, they sit in groups according to political affiliation (including Socialists, Christian Democrats/Conservatives, Liberals, Greens, et cetera). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Parliament's powers have gradually grown with the entry into force of the Single European Act (1986), the Maastricht Treaty (1993) and the Treaty of Amsterdam (1999). Parliament shares decision-making power on an equal footing with the Council in many areas under the Community Pillar to which the &amp;quot;co-decision procedure&amp;quot; applies. The European Parliament is one of the two branches with budgetary authority &amp;amp;ndash; the Council is the other. The signature of the EP president brings the overall EU budget into effect. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The European Parliament also plays a role in the process of selecting the President and other members of the Commission. The European Council's nomination of the President is subject to approval by the Parliament. The EP holds U.S.-style public hearings of Commission nominees before taking a formal vote to approve the nomination of the Commission as a body. Parliament has the power to censure the entire Commission, but not to dismiss individual Commissioners.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===The European Court of Justice===&lt;br /&gt;
The European Court of Justice (ECJ) ensures uniform interpretation and application of both the Treaties establishing the European Communities and the secondary legislation and other law adopted under their authority. To enable it to carry out that task, the Court has wide jurisdiction to hear various types of cases. For example, the Court has the authority to hear and issue binding judgements in lawsuits that seek to annul a law adopted by the EU, to compel an EU institution to act, or to require that a member state comply with EU law. The ECJ may issue clarifications of EU law (in response to a request for a preliminary ruling from any member state court) and hears appeals on legal questions arising out of cases at the Court of First Instance. The ECJ currently has 28 justices and eight advocates-general, who are appointed by common accord of the governments of the member states and who hold office for six-year renewable terms.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Libyan war====&lt;br /&gt;
EU Member of Parliament Clare Daly reminded her fellow lawmakers: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“The [[Libyan war|NATO intervention in Libya]], carried out in the name of protecting freedom, democracy and human rights, is one we’d do well to remember as NATO plays out its [[proxy war]] [[NATO war in Ukraine|in Ukraine]] in the name of, you’ve guessed it, freedom, democracy and human rights...What happens after NATO intervenes in your country on this basis?...Terror, [[death]], [[lawlessness]], [[rape]], poverty, [[starvation]]…Libya is a country riven by conflict, its [[economy]] shattered, its population – formerly the [[wealth]]iest in Africa – ridden and mired in [[poverty]]...Migrants are bought and sold in [[slave]] markets...It’s a country of mass graves, of [[crimes against humanity]]...This is NATO’s legacy”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/ClareDalyMEP/status/1597954104889778176&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Sovereignty==&lt;br /&gt;
The member states of the European Union fall under the jurisdiction of the Union's legislative and judicial institutions (the Court of Justice, the Commission, the Council and the Parliament) in those competences that they have conferred to the Union (the principle of subsidiarity). Similar to Federal Law trumping State Law in United States politics, EU member states are obliged to follow the laws set forth by the European Court of Justice, even if their national laws are contradictory. This system of government pools sovereignty in those agreed areas from the nation, and rests it in the EU institutions. Some political theorists argue that the EU is thus the death of the nation, as by the [[Treaty of Westphalia]], nations are defined by their right of self-sovereignty; however, each member state has a legal right to cede from the EU, which non-sovereign components of states do not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Economy==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Eurozone Crisis}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The institutions of the European Union were originally created to oversee the operation of the several economic communities that later became the Single European Market. Even as the EU's political integration continued, the area of greatest integration has always been in the economic sphere: goods, capital, and labour move freely between member states (with exceptions for goods which pose a public health risk), businesses in all member states are increasingly subject to common basic regulations, and fifteen of the member states use a common currency, the [[euro]]. The rest of the states are legally obliged to adopt the euro when their economies meet strict ''Convergence Criteria'' (except Denmark, which negotiated an opt-out). The fifteen euro-area countries share a common monetary policy administered by the European Central Bank in [[Frankfurt, Germany]]. The EU strives to eliminate internal barriers to the free flow of goods, services, labour, and capital, and to promote the overall convergence of living standards. Internationally, the EU originally aimed to strengthen Europe's trade position and capitalize on the political and economic leverage that a large, unified market could bring. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2023 the ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' noted Europeans were becoming poorer as a result of [[covid lockdown]]s, but more precisely by joining with [[neo fascist]] leader [[Joe Biden]]'s [[Russia sanctions]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.ph/nzdtv Europeans Are Becoming Poorer. ‘Yes, We’re All Worse Off.’ An aging population that values its free time set the stage for economic stagnation. Then came Covid-19 and Russia’s war in Ukraine.] By Tom Fairless, ''The Wall Street Journal'', July 17, 2023.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In 2008, the eurozone and the U.S. had equivalent gross domestic products (GDP); as of 2023 the GDP gap was 80%. The European Centre for International Political Economy, a Brussels-based [[think-tank]], published a ranking of GDP per capita of American states and European countries: Italy is just ahead of [[Mississippi]], the poorest of the 50 states, while France is between [[Idaho]] and [[Arkansas]], respectively 48th and 49th. Germany doesn’t save face: It lies between [[Oklahoma]] and [[Maine]] (38th and 39th). The American median salary in 2023 stood at one and a half times greater than that of France.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.lemonde.fr/en/opinion/article/2023/09/04/the-gdp-gap-between-europe-and-the-united-states-is-now-80_6123491_23.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Growth===&lt;br /&gt;
The EU was the world's largest economic area (the U.S. is second) with a 2007 GDP of $16.6 trillion. Growth in many member states has been slow; between 2001 and 2003, the overall growth rate dropped from 1.8 percent to 1.0 percent, then recovered in 2004 to 2.4%, fell to 1.8 percent in 2005, then rose to 2.8% in 2006 and 2.4% in 2007. Within the euro area, growth varies as much as 4.5 percentage points between the fastest and slowest-growing economies: in 2005, the economies of Germany, France and Italy, grew by less than two percent. Growth remains strong in the new [[Central Europe]]an member states with rapidly industrialising economies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In spring 2000, the EU committed to a ten-year strategic goal of transforming the EU into a more competitive, knowledge-based economy capable of sustaining higher levels of growth. Focusing on labour market reform, macroeconomic and fiscal policy, and promotion of e-commerce and entrepreneurship, the EU's &amp;quot;Lisbon Agenda&amp;quot; was an attempt to stimulate growth while remaining committed to the EU social model. Some suggest that it has so far failed to achieve its goals in large part because national governments (which retain authority over employment policy, immigration, large public sector workforces, entitlement programs and pensions) have not completed the necessary reforms, with unemployment at 6.9 percent in 2007. The European Commission re-launched the Lisbon Agenda in March 2005, promising three percent growth and six million new jobs by 2010. The revamped strategy focuses on developing political consensus within member states to make the changes necessary to complete elimination of barriers in the internal market, reduce the regulatory burden on business, improve labour market flexibility, provide incentives to work and increase investment in human capital.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Fiscal and Monetary Policy===&lt;br /&gt;
Introduced in 1999, the euro is currently the official currency of fifteen of the 27 EU member states. Denmark and Sweden chose to retain their national currencies, and some of the newer EU members have yet to meet the strict economic conditions required to adopt the euro. Prior to the euro's launch in 1999, national currency exchange rates of countries intending to join the euro were fixed within an Exchange Rate Mechanism. Following the January 2002 introduction of euro notes and coins into general circulation, national currencies were removed from circulation. Each of the euro area countries agreed to abide by a shared fiscal policy rule book known as the Stability and Growth Pact (SGP). This agreement generally obliges national governments to limit government budget deficits to 3 percent of GDP and established a target debt-to-GDP ratio of below sixty percent. Although enforcement actions have been forgiving – France and Germany, for example, avoided sanctions despite missing SGP targets – countries violating the SGP are technically subject to sanctions by the European Commission. As of March 2005, national governments have been granted budget leeway to achieve structural reforms and to combat prolonged stagnation, negative growth or other factors, such as the cost of German reunification or state pensions. The revised standards still require deficits to remain close to the targets; they may only temporarily exceed the three percent limit.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Anchor|European Central Bank}}&lt;br /&gt;
The euro area's [[monetary policy]] is set by the '''European Central Bank''' (ECB), which must devise a monetary policy to accommodate a wide range of domestic policies and economic conditions within the euro area. The Treaties require that the ECB's primary objective be to maintain price stability (i.e., to keep inflation low). Euro area national governments have sometimes criticized the ECB for guarding against inflation at the expense of interest rate flexibility that could enable struggling economies to gain traction. The ECB's consistent overnight interest rate of two percent has been credited with creating favorable conditions for growth in Spain and Ireland, but has been blamed for hindering growth in France, Germany, Italy, and Portugal. Non-EU countries have also adopted the euro, including Andorra, United Kingdom base areas, Kosovo, Monaco, Montenegro, and the Vatican City. Additionally, several countries have currencies pegged to the euro, including French African states and those in the Exchange Rate Mechanism.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Trade===&lt;br /&gt;
The EU is the world's largest exporter of goods and services. In 2003, the then fifteen EU members exported $987 billion worth of goods to non-EU countries. The EU's exports grew rapidly between 1996 and 2000 but have grown more slowly since. Except for 2002, the EU as a whole has posted a trade deficit every year since 1999; it was $62 billion in 2004. The EU is a major exporter of chemicals, transport equipment, and industrial machinery. The EU has large trade deficits in raw materials and energy, and a small deficit in food and drink. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The U.S. is the EU's main trading partner by a wide margin. U.S. goods and services exports to the EU reached $283 billion in 2004, while U.S. goods and services imports from the EU totalled $388 billion. Asian economies such as Japan and China, however, account for an increasingly important share of EU trade. The EU's two-way merchandise trade with China grew to $223 million in 2004, while merchandise trade with Japan was $149 million. Internal trade between euro area and non-euro area countries was down one percent in the first quarter of 2005, but the EU's external trade was up four percent, particularly with Russia and Norway. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Member states have given almost exclusive authority to the EU to negotiate binding international trade treaties. The European Community (EC) is a full member of the World Trade Organisation and plays an active role in the Doha Development Round to foster international trade in services and agricultural products. Bilaterally, the EC maintains framework agreements to facilitate trade flows with thirty-five countries worldwide, mostly elsewhere in Europe, in North Africa, and in the Middle East. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Foreign Direct Investment===&lt;br /&gt;
The EU is both a major destination for foreign direct investment (FDI) and a major source of FDI. U.S. foreign direct investment in the EU totalled $83.3 billion in 2004; EU FDI into the U.S. totalled $46.6 billion. Following strong year-upon-year growth in the late 1990s, however, inward and outward flows of FDI have contracted since 2001. The EU is a net recipient of FDI from Japan, receiving $81 billion in 2003. Conversely, the EU is a net investor in Canada ($86 billion in outward investment in 2003), and China ($29 billion in outward investment in 2003). Growth of intra-EU FDI has increased rapidly in recent years and has increased much faster than FDI in non-EU countries. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The pattern of foreign investment by European firms reflects deep commercial ties with the United States. U.S. and EU businesses invest heavily and operate profitably on both sides of the Atlantic. U.S. affiliates in Europe accounted for 56 percent of the aggregate output of U.S. affiliates worldwide. European firms were the largest foreign investors in 44 U.S. states and the second largest foreign investor in the remaining six. Sales by U.S. affiliates in Europe totalled $1.5 trillion in 2002, more than double those of U.S. affiliates in the Asia/Pacific region. European affiliate sales in the U.S. were $1.2 trillion in 2002, more than three times the value of U.S. imports from Europe. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Intra-firm trade involving foreign affiliates is particularly important to the transatlantic trade and investment relationship. Approximately 58 percent of U.S. imports from the EU in 2004 involved trade between related parties, as did 30 percent of U.S. exports to Europe in 2003. This high level of intra-firm trade has contributed to the persistence of the U.S. trade deficit with Europe even as the dollar has lost value against the euro since 2002. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Budget===&lt;br /&gt;
The EU's budget is composed of member state contributions. Equivalent to roughly one percent of the member states' combined gross national income (GNI), it was $123 billion in 2005. The UK receives a rebate for some of its contribution, as the CAP benefits the UK less than other states. In June 2005, the EU failed to agree on a budget plan for 2007 through 2013, due in part to a disagreement between the UK and France over the persistence of the UK budget rebate and the funding of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Costs attributable to the CAP constitute the EU's largest annual budget item, benefiting farmers across the EU, especially in France. Payments to net-recipient member states, designed to reduce economic and social disparities among EU countries and regions, are another budget item which has become more contentious with the accession of ten new states poorer than the EU average.&lt;br /&gt;

==History==&lt;br /&gt;
The European Union was a [[CIA]] project from its beginning and not an indigenous, European democratic movement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2016/04/27/the-european-union-always-was-a-cia-project-as-brexiteers-discov/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Following [[World War II]] and in the early stages of the [[Cold War]], the American Committee on United Europe (ACUE), which was founded one year after the CIA was created, was a private American organization that sought to counter communism in Europe by promoting European [[federalism]]. Its first chairman was former head of America's wartime intelligence agency the [[Office of Strategic Services]] (OSS), [[Bill Donovan]], who had Its vice-chairman was [[Allen Dulles]]. Other board members were [[Walter Bedell Smith]], the CIA's first director. Dullas became CIA director in 1953. ACUE received funding from the Rockefeller and Ford foundations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Traditional European oligarchs sought to solidify the post-war rapprochement between the [[Fourth French Republic]] and the newly founded [[West German]] state by bringing their nations closer together under a common institutional structure. Influenced by his compatriot [[Jean Monnet]], French Foreign Minister [[Robert Schuman]] officially tabled a plan on May 9, 1950 to pool French and German coal and steel production under an organisation that would be open to other European countries. German Chancellor [[Konrad Adenauer]] supported this proposal, and six founding countries – Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands – took an early step toward European integration by establishing the '''European Coal and Steel Community''' (ECSC) in 1951. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After failing to establish a European Defence Community in the 1950s, the six countries then decided to set up a common market. With the entry into force of the '''Treaty of Rome''' in 1957, they created the '''European Economic Community''' (EEC), with an objective of liberating the movement of goods, capital, workers and services. (The European Atomic Energy Community (EURATOM) was also established at this time.) The Treaty of Rome established the basic institutions and decision-making mechanisms still in place in today's European Union. in 1968, the EEC abolished customs duties between member states on manufactured goods. New policies, including a common agricultural policy (CAP) and a common trade policy, were in place by the end of the 1960s. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The success of the European integration project during a period of steady economic growth in the 1960s set the stage for a first enlargement &amp;amp;ndash; the accession of Britain, Ireland and Denmark &amp;amp;ndash; in 1973. Further &amp;quot;deepening&amp;quot; of European integration followed: the Community acquired executive authority in social, regional, and environment policies. The benefits of economic convergence became more evident in the context of the 1970s energy crisis and financial turmoil, which led to the launch of the European Monetary System in 1979. In the same year, the first direct elections to the European Parliament (EP) took place. Previously, delegates from national parliaments had represented their country's legislative bodies at the EP in Strasbourg, France. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Community further expanded southward with the accession of Greece (1981, the second enlargement), followed by Spain and Portugal (1986, the third enlargement). These accessions led the EEC to adopt &amp;quot;structural programs&amp;quot; in order to reduce economic and social disparities among its regions. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 1960s and 1970s, the Community began to assert itself on the international scene with the conclusion of agreements with southern Mediterranean countries. Starting in 1963, the EEC signed four successive Lome Conventions, which guaranteed trading advantages and development aid for member states' former colonies in Africa, the Caribbean, and the Pacific (ACP). &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
World recession and internal disputes over member states' financial burdens gave way, from 1985 onward, to renewed efforts for economic integration, enshrined in the 1985 &amp;quot;Single European Act&amp;quot; (SEA) and marked by the 1992 &amp;quot;Single Market Project.&amp;quot; The SEA set January 1, 1993 as the date by which an internal single market was to be established and, by extending the practice of majority voting rather than unanimity in the EU Council, gave Community institutions the means of adopting the 300 Community-wide Directives required to abolish the remaining barriers and obstacles to intra-Community trade. In 1995, the Community entered into the &amp;quot;Barcelona&amp;quot; partnership with twelve southern Mediterranean countries. The partnership, reinforced by agreements on social, cultural, and human cooperation, was intended to lead to a free-trade area. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The collapse of the Berlin Wall and German unification prompted member states to negotiate the 1992 Treaty on European Union (the &amp;quot;Maastricht Treaty&amp;quot;). In addition to establishing the European Union, the Maastricht Treaty set an ambitious program of further integration: establishment of Economic and Monetary Union (EMU) by 1999 (part of the &amp;quot;First or 'Community' Pillar&amp;quot;), setting up of a Common Foreign and Security Policy (CFSP) (&amp;quot;Second Pillar&amp;quot;); and cooperation on Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) (&amp;quot;Third Pillar&amp;quot;). Shortly thereafter, in 1995, Austria, Finland and Sweden joined the EU &amp;amp;ndash; the fourth enlargement. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Signed in 1997 and entering into force on May 1, 1999, the '''Amsterdam Treaty''' partially streamlined the EU institutional structure. Its most significant effects were: (1) to transfer aspects of Justice and Home Affairs policy to the Community Pillar, enabling the Commission to propose decisions to be taken by the EU Council by qualified majority voting instead of by consensus, and (2) to establish a High Representative for the CFSP (who also serves as Secretary-General of the Council Secretariat). Ten countries in [[Central Europe]] and Cyprus began accession procedures in 1997, followed by Malta. The prospect of eastward enlargement raised significant resource concerns and prompted the adoption in March 1999 of the &amp;quot;Agenda 2000&amp;quot; package, which covered amendments to the CAP and EU structural policies, as well as a budgetary framework through 2006. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 1998, EU heads of government officially designated eleven member states eligible to adopt a single currency. Britain and Denmark &amp;quot;opted out.&amp;quot; On January 1, 1999, the euro became the official currency of the EU, and the '''European Central Bank''' (ECB) put euro notes and coins into circulation in 2002. Today, fifteen countries use the euro: Austria, Belgium, Cyprus, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Malta, the Netherlands, Portugal, Slovenia and Spain. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Streamlining the size and procedures of EU institutions to make the expanded EU more efficient was also an aim of the 2003 Treaty of Nice. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

===Expansion===&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004, Cyprus, the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, and Slovenia joined the EU, and in 2007 Bulgaria and Romania acceded, bringing total membership to 27. Croatia joined in 2013, making the total number of members 28. Candidate countries currently include [[Turkey]], FYR [[Macedonia]] and [[Montenegro]], [[Serbia]], and potential candidates include the rest of the Western [[Balkans|Balkan]] states.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In October 2004, member states signed an EU Constitutional Treaty designed to replace all previous treaties. French and Dutch voters rejected the treaty through referendums in 2005, thereby suspending the ratification process. In 2007, a modified '''Treaty of Lisbon''' was agreed upon, which retains most of the reforms of the Constitution, but amends rather than replaces previous treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the late 2009 the [[Eurozone Crisis|European sovereign-debt crisis]] started. [[Greece]], [[Ireland]], [[Portugal]], [[Cyprus]], [[Spain]] and [[Italy]] are most affected.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The EU and other European countries were greatly affected by the [[European migrant crisis]] resulting from lax immigration standards due to EU policies.&lt;br /&gt;

For the first time in its history, the European Commission financed the purchase and transport of weapons.  The package cost 450 million euros ($502m) to be delivered to the [[Kyiv regime]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraphindia.com/world/russia-ukraine-crisis-us-tells-nationals-to-consider-leaving-russia-immediately/cid/1853839&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The European Commission also closed its airspace to Russian commercial airflight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 11, 2022, EU external minister, the notorious racist [[Josep Borrell]] back peddled on EU policy which provoked the war, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I am ready to admit that we made a number of mistakes and that we lost the possibility of Russia’s rapprochement with the West.  There are moments that we could do better, there are things that we proposed and then could not implement, such as, for example, the promise that Ukraine and Georgia will become part of NATO.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailysabah.com/world/europe/west-made-mistake-in-promising-ukraine-nato-membership-borrell&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On April 9, 2022 Borrell announced more military aid to the [[Maidan coup|Kyiv regime]], which came to power in a [[coup]] that overthrew the [[democratic]]ally elected president, saying that the conflict “will be won on the battlefield,&amp;quot; a rather curious, if not foolish and downright dangerous statement given that the European Union has no military forces of its own.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://armedia.am/eng/news/103100/this-war-will-be-won-on-the-battlefield-borrell.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Borrell appeared to be encouraging [[Ukrainian]] forces to continue fighting in a lost cause to perpetuate more needless slaughter.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Europe is becoming an economic Jonestown.PNG|right|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
Borrell complained that he was less popular in Western media than Russian foreign minister [[Sergei Lavrov]] saying, “Lavrov goes to [[Africa]] and tries to persuade the Africans that sanctions are to blame for all that’s happening… and the whole of the Western media repeats it.  I go to Africa to say the opposite, that sanctions have nothing to do with it, and nobody picks it up.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepressunited.com/updates/eus-borrell-has-no-chance-against-lavrov-moscow/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the European Union passed its [[Russian sanctions]], which had a boomerang effect on European economies and destroyed living standards of the European peoples, by Summer 2022 [[regime change]] was forced on the heads of government in Italy, Bulgaria, Estonia, the United Kingdom and Sweden. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former President of [[France]] [[Nicolas Sarkozy]] criticized the European Commission and its President Ursula von der Leyen in an interview with ''Le Journal du Dimanche'' on October 23, 2022.  The issues of [[foreign policy]] and arms supplies to [[Ukraine]] go beyond the mandate of the European Commission, which is primarily a political organization. &amp;quot;I do not understand under what article of the European agreements European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen can justify her competence in terms of arms procurement and [[foreign policy]].&amp;quot; The EU must be careful not to foment military escalation in Ukraine, Sarkozy said.  &amp;quot;The only thing that the Europeans are hearing today is the allocation of additional billions for the purchase of weapons. More weapons, more deaths, more war! We are hostages of miscalculations, exaltation, irritation and thoughtless actions. We are balancing on the edge of a volcano,&amp;quot; Sarkozy said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www-lejdd-fr.translate.goog/Politique/exclusif-retraites-ukraine-congres-lr-nicolas-sarkozy-sort-de-son-silence-et-livre-ses-analyses-au-jdd-4142556?_x_tr_sl=fr&amp;amp;_x_tr_tl=en&amp;amp;_x_tr_hl=en-US&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On November 30, 2022 European Commission President [[Ursula von der Leyen]] confirmed the [[Armed Forces of Ukraine]] suffered 100,000 soldiers killed in action.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/von-der-leyen-statement-death-163600213.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Mission accomplished===&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Donbas war|Great Reset}}&lt;br /&gt;
The goal of the [[Great Reset]] and the [[NATO war in Ukraine]] was always to woo Germany away from Russia to prevent a German-Russian energy trade relationship and growing economic hegemon to rival the EU and prove no need for the NATO alliance and member states [[military industrial complex]]es.&lt;br /&gt;
Michael Whitney writing in UNZ wrote:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.unz.com/mwhitney/the-crisis-in-ukraine-is-not-about-ukraine-its-about-germany/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The [[Ukrainian crisis]] has nothing to do with Ukraine. It’s about Germany and, in particular, a pipeline that connects Germany to Russia called Nord Stream 2. [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] sees the pipeline as a threat to its primacy in Europe and has tried to sabotage the project at every turn. Even so, Nord Stream has pushed ahead and is now fully-operational and ready-to-go. Once German regulators provide the final certification, the gas deliveries will begin. German homeowners and businesses will have a reliable source of clean and inexpensive energy while Russia will see a significant boost to their gas revenues. It’s a win-win situation for both parties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The US Foreign Policy establishment is not happy about these developments. They don’t want Germany to become more dependent on Russian gas because commerce builds trust and trust leads to the expansion of trade. As relations grow warmer, more trade barriers are lifted, regulations are eased, travel and tourism increase, and a new security architecture evolves. In a world where Germany and Russia are friends and trading partners, there is no need for US military bases, no need for expensive US-made weapons and [[missile]] systems, and no need for [[NATO]]. There’s also no need to transact energy deals in US Dollars or to stockpile US Treasuries to balance accounts. Transactions between business partners can be conducted in their own currencies which is bound to precipitate a sharp decline in the value of the dollar and a dramatic shift in economic power. This is why the [[Biden administration]] opposes Nord Stream. It’s not just a pipeline, it’s a window into the future; a future in which Europe and [[Asia]] are drawn closer together into a massive free trade zone that increases their mutual power and prosperity while leaving the US on the outside looking in. Warmer relations between Germany and Russia signal an end to the “[[unipolar]]” world order the US has overseen for the last 75 years. A German-Russo alliance threatens to hasten the decline of the [[Superpower]] that is presently inching closer to the abyss. This is why Washington is determined to do everything it can to sabotage Nord Stream and keep Germany within its orbit. It’s a matter of survival.}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:EU energy imports.PNG|right|300px|thumb|right|'''Mission Accomplished:''' Imports of natural gas from the US to the EU caught up with Russian imports by December 2023.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We should always remember that the ultimate goal in the U.S. plan of training Ukrainians for war since 2014 was to alienate Germany from Russia – as Germany de facto controls Euroland economically.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Imperial control of the oceans allows the Empire to strangle Germany at will into subservience by cutting them off from Russian energy – as the [[British]] did to Germany in [[WWII]] when Britannia ruled the waves. The [[Wehrmacht]] could not supply their mechanized army with fuel. Now, in theory, Germany and the [[EU]] will have to look to the seas – and total U.S. dependency – for their natural resources.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The remote-controlled [[Maidan regime|Kiev regime]] dominated by [[SBU]] fanatics and [[Azov Battalion|Azov neo-Nazis]] is making it even harder – by shutting off all natural gas from Russia through Ukraine into [[Europe]], reducing the flow by more than one third.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
That translates as U.S.-enforced [[blackmail]] to force the EU to increase the Ukro-weaponizing against Russia. The practical consequences for Germany and the EU will be dire – in terms of shut down industries and cost of home heating and electrical power.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Candidates for membership==&lt;br /&gt;
There are published, but somewhat vague, conditions that must be satisfied for membership.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Membership conditions&amp;quot;&amp;gt;https://ec.europa.eu/neighbourhood-enlargement/enlargement-policy/conditions-membership_en&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  For the Western Balkans, friendly relations with neighbors are required.&amp;lt;ref name=&amp;quot;Membership conditions&amp;quot;/&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
There are four official candidates being considered for membership, [[Turkey]], [[Montenegro]], [[Serbia]] and [[Macedonia]]. The western Balkan states of Kosovo, Bosnia-Hercegovina and Albania are officially ''potential candidates''. A country that is expected to accede is required to make some economic, social and governmental changes to bring it in line with other member states.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The status of Turkey is highly controversial. It has repeatedly applied to join the EU but has been rejected each time on numerous grounds. Despite being one of the first countries to join the post-war Council of Europe and being a key regional power with a strong military, Turkey has a long list of obstacles to overcome before accession. Many nations have cited its poor relations with other countries such as Cyprus, as well as its views on the rights of women and the Turkish Penal Code which includes the notorious Article 301. Article 301 is a recent piece of legislation that provides that &amp;quot;a person who publicly insults the Turkish nation, the State of the Republic of Turkey, or the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, shall be punishable by imprisonment of between six months and two years&amp;quot;. Turkey's population of 70 million would make it one of the largest states in the EU with the second-highest amount of MEPs, and would be the first Muslim-majority state in Europe. Britain under David Cameron supports admission while France is strongly against Turkey's membership. &lt;br /&gt;

The '''North Atlantic Treaty Organization''' ('''NATO''', ''French:'' '''OTAN''', ''Russian:'' '''HATO''') is a military alliance consisting of the [[United States]] and 30 vassal states. It was founded after [[World War II]], to counter the [[communist]] [[Soviet Union]].  NATO is the only military alliance that stations [[nuclear weapon]]s on non-nuclear nations territory.&lt;br /&gt;

To join the alliance, NATO members essentially cede their [[foreign policy]] [[sovereignty]] to the [[Leftist]] [[Deep State]] in [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] and [[London]], and become vassal states on [[immigration]], [[gay parade]]s, and priorities of [[liberal]]s.  NATO's current secretary is [[Jens Stoltenberg]] of [[Norway]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under NATO doctrine, while any member state can commit aggressive acts of war against a nonmember, if the nonmember retaliates against the NATO member's territory, the nonmember risks war with all members of the alliance.  Additionally, some nonmember states have been equipped with weapons and training to wage war as if they were member states. No provisions have ever been articulated for member states that go to war with each other.&lt;br /&gt;

== History ==&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|History of NATO}}&lt;br /&gt;
NATO was created at the behest of the [[United Kingdom]] to bypass deeply rooted American anti-[[intervention]]ist sentiment to enter war without an Act of Congress, under the guise of &amp;quot;an attack against one is an attack against all.&amp;quot;  The [[UK]] had to wait 3 years during [[World War I]] and two years during [[World War II]] for the United States to bail the [[British Empire]] out of its war with [[Germany]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specifically, NATO was created in 1947 allegedly to contain the expansion of [[single party state|single party]] leftwing Soviet Communism.  But since the collapse of [[communism]] in Russia, NATO is globalism without a valid purpose.  Unlike Germany which gained entrance two years after its founding, increasingly [[conservative]] Russia has been systematically denied membership in all European collective security arrangements.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=== Most NATO members freeload off the United States ===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States spends about 7 to 8 times the military budgets of the 7 biggest militaries of the world combined&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YCpCA8Rz-PY Why America’s Defense Budget Is Bigger Than You Think]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Dec. 5, 2019, the pro-NATO and pro-Ukraine ''New York Times'' published in an opinion piece:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Donald Trump official presidential photo.jpg|thumb|250px|President [[Donald Trump]], who advocated an [[America First|America-first]] foreign policy, thinks that most NATO alliance members are freeloaders.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/opinion/trump-nato.html NATO Is Full of Freeloaders. But It’s How We Defend the Free World.], ''New York Times'', Dec. 5, 2019&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
As far as NATO members, Donald Trump wanted more allies of the United States and not more protectorates of the United States.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HVsOGbhRALE Steve Bannon: Donald Trump is trying to save NATO, doesn't want protectorate], CNBC Television&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|With the conclusion of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization’s 70th anniversary summit in London, it’s fair to say that [[Donald Trump]] thinks that most alliance members, starting with France and Canada, are a bunch of ungrateful and unhelpful freeloaders...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2011, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates warned of a “dim if not dismal future” for the alliance if states such as Germany continued to underspend on defense. Nearly eight years later, a German parliamentary report found that fewer than half of the country’s fighter jets, and not one of its six submarines, were combat worthy. The German defense minister recently announced that she does plan to meet NATO targets on military spending, but not until 2031.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Most other NATO members are no better. Canada, for instance, spends just 1.27 percent of its gross domestic product on defense (the NATO target is 2 percent) and cannot meet its obligations to defend North America’s airspace. When Justin Trudeau was overheard at the summit belittling Trump for taking too long with his press conference, the Canadian prime minister sounded to many Americans like a child whining that a working parent had kept him waiting for supper.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of this means that when Macron and other European leaders muse about creating an autonomous European defense force, they are, as one seasoned Parisian observer put it to me, “playing with cards they don’t have.” Even sizable increases in defense spending wouldn’t fill the gap that an American departure from Europe would leave: Roughly half of European defense spending goes to salaries and pensions, not warfighting capacity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/05/opinion/trump-nato.html NATO Is Full of Freeloaders. But It’s How We Defend the Free World.], ''New York Times'', Dec. 5, 2019&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The UK's House of Parliament, House of Commons Library published a resource on August 11, 2022, which states:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|NATO was formed in 1949 with the signing of the North Atlantic Treaty in Washington. Its purpose was to ensure the collective security of its member states and to counter the perceived security threat from the then Soviet Union.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the heart of the North Atlantic Treaty is Article 5, which states that an attack against one member state shall be considered as an attack against them all.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Article 5 does not necessarily commit an ally to military action in the event of an attack. Instead, it requires members to assist the party or parties attacked with “such action it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Given Article 5’s obligation, member states are advised to maintain adequate defence spending levels, so they have the capacity to act if necessary. This sentiment is formally reflected in the target for NATO members to spend at least 2% of their country’s GDP on defence, set at the 2006 Riga Summit...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite all NATO members agreeing to the 2% guideline, few countries have adhered to it.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russia’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 drew attention to the declining defence budgets of most NATO members. At the NATO Summit in Wales that year, member states agreed to reverse the trend and aim to spend 2% of GDP on defence by 2024.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between 2014 and 2022, defence expenditure by NATO members is expected to rise by $140 billion (15%). However, while the number of countries meeting the 2% target has increased over this period, most are still falling short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
...only nine out of 30 member states are expected to meet the 2% spending target in 2022, up from three members in 2014...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prior to Russia’s invasion, the UK was already meeting the 2% spending target. In 2022 it is expected to spend 2.1% of GDP on defence. This is down from 2.3% in 2020.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://commonslibrary.parliament.uk/defence-spending-pledges-by-nato-members-since-russia-invaded-ukraine/ Defence spending pledges by NATO members since Russia invaded Ukraine], Published Thursday, 11 August 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Republic of Georgia===&lt;br /&gt;
While Finland and Sweden's applications to join NATO were fast-tracked, the Republic of Georgia has been waiting for 15 years.  Georgia's membership was not on the agenda for NATO's June 2022 summit.  10,000 Russian troops are in the former Georgian territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.  NATO's discriminatory behavior led to growing anti-NATO sentiment in Georgia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9iVFcCjcpWo&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==NATO expansion==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NATO Nazi.PNG |right|300px|thumb|March 8, 2022: The official [[Twitter]] account of NATO tweets photo of Ukrainian soldier wearing NAZI insignia.]]&lt;br /&gt;
As the ''[[New York Times]]'' wrote back in 1998, &amp;quot;Ben &amp;amp; Jerry's is against expanding NATO. So is [[Phyllis Schlafly]], the arch-conservative activist. ... 'It would obligate us to go to war to defend the borders in Eastern Europe,' said Mrs. Schlafly, who founded the 80,000-member Eagle Forum. 'We don't think that's an [[American]] responsibility. We see this as one [[Bosnia]] after another.'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/1998/04/21/world/bedfellows-of-every-stripe-in-nato-fray.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  NATO was never intended to be &amp;quot;the world's policeman,&amp;quot; nor is it an enforcement arm or extension of the [[United Nations]].  [[President Donald Trump]] was highly critical of how the United States has been saddled with the bulk of the cost throughout its history while [[Europe]] has not paid its agreed upon mandated share of defense costs.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO carried out the bombing of civilians in [[Serbia]] during the [[Clinton Administration]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;NATO also caused the subsequent imprisonment of its president [[Slobodan Milosevic]] until he died in prison after being denied his request for medical care.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; fomented  the [[Libyan war]] in which it aligned itself with [[al Qaeda]] elements during the [[Obama administration]], and has been criticized for its provocative actions towards [[Russia]] in the [[Russia Ukraine conflict 2022|Russia Ukraine conflict in 2022]] under the [[Biden regime]].  The NATO organization has aligned itself with self-proclaimed Nazis in Ukraine war.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://journal-neo.org/2019/02/17/ukraines-neo-nazis-suddenly-a-problem-as-power-grows/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; NATO began arming, equipping, and training [[Nazi]] groups in [[Ukraine]] in 2015 for the specific aim to overthrow the legitimate government of [[Russia]].  NATO recruited [[neo-Nazi]] [[mercenaries]] from across the planet to train in Ukraine. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 19, 2021, NATO held its first conference promoting [[LGBTQ+]] goals.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/news_182424.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  ''See also'' &amp;quot;What does a Pride parade have to do with NATO? More than you might think.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.brookings.edu/blog/order-from-chaos/2019/06/28/what-does-a-pride-parade-have-to-do-with-nato-more-than-you-might-think/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO's official website states its political motive under [[Orwellian]] language: &amp;quot;NATO promotes democratic values and enables members to consult and cooperate on defence and security-related issues to solve problems, build trust and, in the long run, prevent conflict.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nato.int/nato-welcome/index.html Retrieved August 7, 2019.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has waged two wars of aggression, one against [[Serbia]] to carve out the state of [[Kosovo]], which increased the crime rate in Kosovo as it was also turned into a hotbed of human and organ trafficking,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/kosovo_thaci_organ_trafficking/2248967.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and another in [[Libya]] which resulted in chaos and the return of the slave trade in Black Africans.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian defense minister [[Sergei Shoigu]] said at the opening of the 10th Moscow International Security Conference in August 2022:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The unconditional dominance of the US and its allies is a thing of the past. On February 24, 2022, the start of the [[special military operation]] in Ukraine marked the end of the [[unipolar]] world.  Multipolarity has become a reality. The poles of this world are clearly defined. The main difference between them is that some respect the interests of sovereign states and take into account the cultural and historical particularities of countries and peoples, while others disregard them. There have been numerous discussions on this topic during previous sessions of the Moscow conference.  In Europe, the security situation is worse than at the peak of the Cold War. The alliance’s military activities have become as aggressive and anti-Russian as possible. Significant US forces have been redeployed to the continent, and the number of coalition troops in Eastern and Central Europe has increased manifold.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It is important to note that the deployment of additional NATO Joint Force formations on the bloc’s “eastern flank” had already started before the start of the special military operation in Ukraine.  NATO has dropped its masks. The aggressive nature of the bloc was no longer concealed by the wording of the coalition’s purely defensive orientation. Today, the alliance’s strategic planning documents enshrine claims to global dominance. Alliance’s interests include [[Africa]], the [[Middle East]] and the Pacific Rim.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the West’s view, the established system of international relations should be replaced by a so-called rules-based world order. The logic here is simple and ultimatumatic. Either the alliance’s “democratic partner” candidate loses sovereignty and becomes supposedly on the “right side of history”. Or it is relegated to the category of so-called [[authoritarian]] regimes, against which all kinds of measures, up to and including coercive pressure, can be used.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/welcoming-speech-of-the-russian-minister-of-defence-at-the-opening-of-10th-moscow-conference-on-international-security/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

===Peacemaker kill list===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Myrotvorets.PNG|left|1000px|thumb|The Myrotovets (&amp;quot;Peacemaker&amp;quot;) website, a kill list authorizing on the spot execution of journalists and anyone deemed a &amp;quot;Russian sympathizer&amp;quot;, shows Langley, Virgina home of the CIA as its headquarters.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://myrotvorets.center/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Myrotvorets]] (Peacemaker) is an online database of what its owner declares as “enemies of Ukraine,” containing personal [[doxxing]] information and addresses.  The website's mainpage lists Langley, Virginia, home of the CIA, and Warsaw, Poland as its official home.  Journalists who depart from the CIA and Kyiv party line are added to the list.  Anyone captured in Ukraine whose name appears in the websites online searchable database can be executed on the spot.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/tii5hPD1kEM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   The “Peacemaker&amp;quot; kill list has nearly 200,000 names, including Americans, threatening them with extrajudicial killings.  The blacklist is affiliated with the Ukrainian government and SBU and was founded by Anton Herashchenko, as of 2022 an advisor to the Zelensky regime's Ukraine's Ministry of Internal Affairs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aljazeera.com/features/2019/8/27/peacemaker-the-ukrainian-website-shaming-pro-russia-voices&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Reports indicate the server hosting Myrotvorets are located in [[Brussels, Belgium]] and owned by [[NATO]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/8Y31DBmnDNc&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Multiple people have been killed soon after their names were added to the list.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/zelenskys-secret-cia-nazi-ukrainian-government/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Hunting down opposition supporters in allegedly &amp;quot;democratic&amp;quot; Ukraine, as leaders in NATO countries refer to it, in order to beat, humiliate, and even kill opponents is what Ukrainian radicals call “political safari.” &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As of April 2022, eleven mayors from various towns in Ukraine were disappeared. Western media outlets followed the Kyiv regime line without exception.  The SBU has even hunted opposition figures outside the country's borders.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Asia-Pacific===&lt;br /&gt;
With NATO expansion into the Asia-Pacific region, the ruse of being purely a &amp;quot;defensive alliance&amp;quot; could no longer hold up.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Coalition of the willing==&lt;br /&gt;
While NATO supposedly is a defensive alliance united by the concept of &amp;quot;an attack against one is an attack against all&amp;quot;, in its offensive wars of aggression in Iraq and Libya NATO used the idea of a &amp;quot;coalition of the willing,&amp;quot; while many NATO members sat out the wars.  These &amp;quot;coalitions of the willing&amp;quot; have the added benefit of deflecting domestic political criticism for attacking sovereign countries by the leaders of the respective members by claiming it is a NATO &amp;quot;obligation,&amp;quot; and that they are supposedly only living up to their responsibilities under a treaty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Doomsday scenario==&lt;br /&gt;
''The Washington Examiner'' reported on a study by researchers at the Princeton Program on Science and Global Security on September 17, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;It is predicted that over 90 million people would be dead or injured in a war between the United States and Russia....Researchers...simulated war using realistic nuclear weapons positions, targets, and fatality estimates to show the consequences that a nuclear war could have on both countries and the world...The simulation’s scenario predicted 91.5 million casualties, with 34.1 million dead and 57.4 million injured....In the scenario, Russia would fire the first shot to prevent a U.S.-NATO advance. Within three hours, the researchers estimated 2.6 million immediate casualties and 480 nuclear weapons fired, 300 from Russia and 180 from NATO.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Targets would include NATO bases across Europe. The researchers determined that after Europe was destroyed, warheads would be launched from the U.S. Within 45 minutes of that launch, they estimated 3.4 million immediate casualties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Tensions between Russia and the U.S. have escalated in recent years, particularly with the war in Ukraine. The researchers cite that both countries have “abandoned” long-standing nuclear arms control treaties.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/policy/defense-national-security/simulation-reveals-nuclear-war-russia-90-million-casualties&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[Pope Francis I]] condemned NATO for starting the Russia-Ukraine war.  Francis stated that the war is nothing more than a giant opportunity for a “trade in arms” and that it is still ongoing because of the constant shuttling of weapons to [[Ukraine]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The clear thing is that weapons are being tested there. The Russians now know that tanks are of little use and are thinking of other things. This is why wars are waged: to test the weapons we have produced. Few people are fighting this trade, but more should be done,&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
and questioned &amp;quot;whether it is right to supply the Ukrainians.&amp;quot;  The Pope added, &amp;quot;In Ukraine, it seems that it was others who created the conflict.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thedailybeast.com/pope-francis-says-nato-started-war-in-ukraine-by-barking-at-putins-door&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

President Putin remarked in 2021, &amp;quot;As for NATO’s enlargement and the advancement of NATO infrastructure towards Russia’s borders, this is a matter of paramount significance as far as the security of Russians and Russia goes...I do not want to use harsh words, but they simply spat upon our interests.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1300975&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  French Premier [[Emmanuel Macron]] said at the height of the crisis, &amp;quot;The geopolitical objective of Russia today is clearly not Ukraine but to clarify the rules of cohabitation with NATO and the EU.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.sky.com/story/ukraine-russia-tensions-frances-macron-flies-to-moscow-to-meet-putin-in-high-risk-diplomatic-mission-12535079&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:AFU troop concentrations prior to SMO.PNG|right|300px|thumb|AFU troop concentrations on eastern Ukraine's border on eve of the Russian SMO, February 24, 2022. According to the Russian Deputy Foreign Minister, Ukraine had massed 122,000 troops on the border with Donbas. The Duma furthermore has claimed to have intelligence indicating that these troops were planning an offensive into Donbas on MArch 7, 2022, which the Russian invasion preempted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/02/21/putin-recognizes-donbass-independence-as-violence-soars/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
In early December 2021 it was reported that the Armed Forces of Ukraine deployed 125,000 troops, half of its forces, against the predominantly Russian speaking Donbas region of Eastern Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.anews.com.tr/world/2021/12/01/russia-ukraine-has-deployed-half-of-its-army-to-donbass-conflict-zone&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Previously, on October 19, 2022, ''The Jerusalem Post'' reported that Canada, the US, France, the UK and other Western countries helped train neo-Nazi extremists in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.jpost.com/diaspora/western-countries-training-far-right-extremists-in-ukraine-report-682411&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Military analyst Boris Rozhin predicted an escalation of the conflict by the Kyiv regime and their NATO consultants with a full-scale provocation in Donbas.

In March 2022 NATO warlord Jens Stoltenberg bragged that NATO trained “tens of thousands of Ukrainian soldiers in previous years, provided modern equipment and supported reforms. Ukraine’s forces are now larger, better equipped, better trained and better led than ever before”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_193943.htm#:~:text=NATO%20Secretary%20General%20Jens%20Stoltenberg%3A%20NATO%20allies%20have%20supported%20the,invasion%20and%20invading%20Russian%20forces&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; said that any support from [[China]] would help Russia to continue to wage war and that China has an obligation as a member of the UN Security Council to uphold international law.  The spokesperson of the Chinese Mission to the [[EU]] responded:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;we will never forget who had bombed our embassy in the Federal Republic of [[Yugoslavia]]. We need no lecture on [[justice]] from the abuser of international law.

In late February 2023, [[NED]] and NATO-supported anti-government activists claimed responsibility for an attack on a Russian Beriev A-50 AEW&amp;amp;C (Airborne Early Warning and Control System) aircraft at the Machulishchy military airfield 12 km or 7.5 miles from the [[Belarus]]ian capital [[Minsk]].&lt;br /&gt;

====NATO preparedness====&lt;br /&gt;
The entire German armed forces has 213 total main battle tanks, the UK ~158 active, and France ~178. Russia has 3000-5000 active, with ~13,000+ total, counting storage. Only the U.S. even begins to approach such readiness levels, with around 2500 active and 5000+ total with the majority of those in storage being very old [[M1A1 Abrams]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Kyiv operational command center====&lt;br /&gt;
''[[The New York Times]]'' reported on June 25, 2022:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[C.I.A.]] personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces...a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and Lithuania, also have been working inside Ukraine....commandos from these allies either remained or have gone in and out of the country since then, training and advising Ukrainian troops and providing an on-the-ground conduit for weapons and other aid...their presence in the country — on top of the diplomatic staff members who returned after Russia gave up its siege of Kyiv — hints at the scale of the secretive effort to assist Ukraine that is underway and the risks that Washington and its allies are taking....commandos are not on the front lines with Ukrainian troops and instead advise from headquarters in other parts of the country or remotely by encrypted communications...the signs of their stealthy logistics, training and intelligence support are tangible on the battlefield....Ukrainian commanders recently expressed appreciation to the United States for intelligence gleaned from satellite imagery, which they can call up on tablet computers provided by the allies. The tablets run a battlefield mapping app that the Ukrainians use to target and attack Russian troops.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/IJ9yI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====No advance conventional warfare planning====&lt;br /&gt;
Other than [[Russia sanctions|economic sanctions]] and a [[propaganda]] information war, under chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg's leadership NATO embarked on its aggressive actions toward [[Russia]] with no clear conventional arms [[strategy]].  At a meeting of the [[anti-Russian]] alliance’s Defense Ministers in February 2023, Stoltenberg said the following:&lt;br /&gt;
{{Quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The war in Ukraine is consuming an enormous amount of munitions, and depleting Allied stockpiles. The current rate of Ukraine’s ammunition expenditure is many times higher than our current rate of production. This puts our defence industries under strain. For example, the waiting time for large-calibre ammunition has increased from 12 to 28 months.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nato.int/cps/en/natohq/opinions_211689.htm?selectedLocale=en&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:AP fake news.jpg|right|400px|thumb|The Associated Press tried to ignite World War III with a [[fake news]] story sourced to a &amp;quot;senior U.S. intelligence official.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://scheerpost.com/2022/11/18/why-is-ap-still-protecting-the-source-behind-its-false-russia-bombed-poland-story/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
On November 15, 2022, two Ukrainian [[S-300]] missiles, alleged to have been launched to shoot down a Russian [[cruise missile]], were fired westward and hit a Polish grain storage facility, killing two civilians.  The Polish government, Ukrainian government, the ''[[Associated Press]]'',&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/nato-ap-news-alert-europe-poland-government-and-politics-ba48101fd25c86e68e57dc56fe2adf80&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; most of all Western propaganda media and so-called national security and intelligence experts called for invoking NATO Article 5 for war with Russia.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/anders_aslund/status/1592616431291535360&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Zelensky advisor [[Mykhailo Podolyak]] declared that the strikes came from Russia.  Ukrainian foreign minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed Russian denials were a [[conspiracy theory]] and that “No one should buy Russian propaganda or amplify its messages.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/DmytroKuleba/status/1592632386751434752?s=20&amp;amp;t=TtnVQsVODlidTZoknWqWpg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky tweeted that the “Russian attack on collective security in the Euro-Atlantic is a significant escalation” beyond the localized conflict in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/2022/11/15/world/kyiv-strikes-russia-zelensky-peace-intl/index.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However an AWAC radar plane and other ISR (intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance) aircraft regularly flying in the region, and ground radar, tracked the missiles' trajectory and determined the Kyiv regime had launched the missiles.  That did not prevent an anonymous &amp;quot;senior U.S. intelligence official&amp;quot; from reporting to the ''Associated Press'' that Russia had fired the missiles at Poland. The [[fake news]] story was disseminated globally, as all fake news stories emanating from Kyiv, and its CIA counterparts in Kyiv, have been disseminated globally to world media for the entirety of 2022 and late 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When called out on the [[lie]]s,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/PY8P3ET-Q7E&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky doubled down.  Both socialist premier Joe Biden and NATO chief warlord Jens Stoltenberg blamed Ukraine for the attack.  Zelensky refuted the Western leaders' statements that the missile which killed two innocent civilians in Poland was Ukrainian. &amp;quot;I have no doubt that it was not our missile or our missile strike.&amp;quot;  Zelensky insisted that he received reports from the corrupt Armed Forces of Ukraine command that told him the missile attacks did not come from Ukraine, he told the people in a live nationwide address on Ukrainian state-controlled media.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/11/16/7376663/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The [[Russophobic]] ''Financial Times'' of [[London]] quoted a [[diplomat]] from a NATO country in Kyiv saying: “This is getting ridiculous. The Ukrainians are destroying [our] confidence in them. Nobody is blaming Ukraine and they are openly lying. This is more destructive than the [[missile]].”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/mxQ5K#selection-2029.34-2029.282&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The official cover story eventually became the Ukrainian missile fell in Poland because the S-300 system is unreliable and obsolete Soviet-era junk. However, despite its vulnerabilities to detection and being destroyed by an enemy attacking force, the S-300 remains a formidable missile defense weapon, unmatched by the U.S. [[Patriot Missile]] defense system.  It's later versions, S-400 and S-500 are unrivaled globally as the most effective missile systems available in the opening decades of the 21st century.&lt;br /&gt;

====NATO's nuclear escalation====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:UK depleted uranium.PNG|right|300px|thumb|On March 20, 2023 it was announced the UK was supplying nuclear weapons to Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://declassifieduk.org/britain-supplying-depleted-uranium-rounds-to-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
On January 25, 2023 Konstantin Gavrilov, the head of the Russian delegation to the Vienna Negotiations on Military Security and Arms Control, warned: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“We know that [[Leopard 2]] tanks, as well as Bradley and Marder armored fighting vehicles, can use [[depleted uranium]] shells, which can contaminate terrain, just like it happened in [[Yugoslavia]] and [[Iraq]]...If Kiev were to be supplied with such munitions for the use in western heavy military hardware, we would regard it as the use of ‘[[dirty nuclear bomb]]s’ against Russia, with all the consequences that entails.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
Depleted uranium is a very dense metal, ideal to be used on projectiles because of its mass, and also because it ignites at around 600 degrees Celsius; it can penetrate an armoured vehicle and incinerate the crew once it enters the cabin. As a block or a projectile, the material can be handled with no health consequences, but when it ignites or explodes, it's turned into dust, then, it can be inhaled or ingested by live creatures and it wreaks havoc in the internal organs, creating a very large number of cancerous lesions and genetic malformations.  That is why it is considered a very dangerous polluting material, same as a dirty bomb.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of depleted uranium shells was developed by the United States in the 1980s.  The Russian military made the decision at that time not to follow suit and compete by developing depleted uranium as a battlefield weapon because of its long lasting environmental and health effects.  Existing tactical nuclear weapons were considered a sufficient deterrent to what is essentially a nuclear dirty bomb used by NATO and the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 20, 2023 Annabel Goldie, the British Minister of State for Defence, declared that her country would provide depleted uranium munitions to the Kyiv regime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/vSG_3cduRLA&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In response, President Vladimir Putin reported on March 25 that the decision had been made to deploy a tactical nuclear weapon on the territory of Belarus by July 1, 2023 to reduce flight time against NATO aggressors.&lt;br /&gt;

The United States owns and operates biological laboratories in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://21wire.tv/2018/01/21/wmd-america-inside-the-pentagons-global-bioweapons-industry/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://badvolf.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/US-Biolabs-in-Ukraine-BadVolf-Investigation.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  An agreement to operate the laboratories was signed in 2005.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://2001-2009.state.gov/documents/organization/95251.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On March 21, Joe Biden announced a second &amp;quot;new world order&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theepochtimes.com/the-real-reset-is-coming_4359506.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; after the failure of the first, which was announced by President [[George H.W. Bush]] on September 11, 1991 - exactly ten years to the day prior to the [[9/11 attacks]] which spelled the doom of the first new world order and was completed by Joe Biden with his humiliating [[Fall of Kabul|withdrawal from Afghanistan]] nearly twenty years later to the day.  On March 22, 2022, the Russian state [[Duma]] established a parliamentary commission to investigate the American biological laboratories operating in Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://interkomitet.com/live/leonid-slutsky-the-state-duma-almost-unanimously-voted-for-a-parliamentary-investigation-into-the-circumstances-of-the-creation-of-biological-laboratories-on-the-territory-of-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Deputy Leonid Slutsky, who is a member of the committee, issued a statement:&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:DTRA contractors in Ukraine.png|left|250px|thumb|Metabiota, a company financed by Hunter Biden's [[Rosemont Seneca]] partnership with the [[CCP]], receives the lion's share of Defense Department funding for its Ukrainian bio labs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.fo/fVtcf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Russia will continue to raise the issue of the need to investigate US activities in the field of biological research, including in the UN structures. Obviously, we can talk about a direct violation of the Convention on the Prohibition of the Development, Production and Stockpiling of Bacteriological (Biological) and Toxin Weapons (BTWC).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
What is known today from the materials that were discovered during the special military operation in Ukraine? The biolaboratories were formally under the jurisdiction of the Central Sanitary and Epidemiological Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, but Americans were placed as curators everywhere. In fact, pathogens of dangerous diseases were tested on the local genotype (Slavic). At the same time, pathogens were created that, most likely, they tried to make resistant to commercial [[vaccine]]s or [[antibiotic]]s. There were about 30 such laboratories in total, 13 of them had a very high level of protection.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Against this background, according to experts, in recent years Ukraine has turned into some incomprehensible hotbed of old and new diseases. For example, we all remember that [[measles]] was defeated in the [[USSR]]. But in 2005-2007, measles returned to Ukraine, moreover, in the form of an [[epidemic]], and until 2021 it was present as a significant disease. [[WHO]] even named Ukraine the capital of measles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A similar situation was with cholera. The last cases of cholera were registered in the country in the 90s, but in 2011 33 people fell ill with cholera in Mariupol, in 2014 there were already 800 people, in 2015-2017 more than 100 cases were recorded annually in Nikolaev.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Further more interesting: in 2009 Ternopil, 450 Ukrainians suffered from a virus that causes hemorrhagic pneumonia, which has never been present in the north of [[Eurasia]], this [[virus]] is characteristically noted in Equatorial Africa. How he got there is a big question.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
I specifically cite this data in detail in order to show the scope of everything that existed in the immediate vicinity of the territory of Russia. And it’s really scary.&amp;quot;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Biden's son, the corrupt self-admitted crackhead Hunter Biden, secured millions of dollars in funding for Metabiota, a [[U.S. Department of Defense]] contractor in Ukraine specializing in deadly pathogen research which he himself, through his company [[Rosemont Seneca]], had invested in.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10652127/Hunter-Biden-helped-secure-millions-funding-military-biotech-research-program-Ukraine.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

An American military aircraft was seen in the emergency area with the Russian cruiser ''Moskva''.  The ''Moskva'' was near Odessa, closer to Romania. The ''Moskva'' was eqiuiped with a new phased array locator with illumination range is 500 km.  At about 19 pm, an American military patrol and reconnaissance anti-submarine aircraft of the [[US Navy]] was spotted in the western part of Romanian airspace. The latter was located approximately 70 kilometers from the location of the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva''.  According to data available to the Avia.pro news agency, a US military patrol reconnaissance and anti-submarine Boeing P-8A Poseidon aircraft was in the eastern part of Romanian airspace, flying with an unknown target. According to a number of data, the flight of the Boeing RC-135 aircraft was also carried out, however, the latter could not be tracked by the [https://globe.adsbexchange.com/ ADS-B Exchange] resource.  According to the ADS-B Exchange resource, the American Boeing P-8 Poseidon aircraft with the ICAO identification code AE681B was flying near the Zhurilovka settlement (Romania). However, due to the transponder periodically turned off by the crew, experts do not exclude that the bird could also fly over the western part of the Black Sea, where, according to preliminary information, the Russian missile cruiser ''Moskva'' was located.  What kind of information could be collected by the American military reconnaissance aircraft Boeing P-8 Poseidon is still unknown, however, judging by the data presented, the bird was still in the air at 21 hours and 17 minutes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://avia-pro.net/news/v-rayone-chp-s-rossiyskim-kreyserom-moskva-byl-zamechen-amerikanskiy-voennyy-samolyot&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The reaction of public opinion in the Russian Federation to the interference and provocation by the United States and killing of their sailors was one of outrage, and demanding that their government and leaders take appropriate action.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 1, 2022, in an interview published in the UK ''Telegraph'', Ukrainian defense official Vadim Skibitsky acknowledged they consult with Washington before launching strikes and that Washington has [[veto]] power over decision-making.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/ZX4o6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.businessinsider.com/himars-us-has-effective-veto-over-russian-targets-report-says-2022-8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman [[Maria Zakharova]] responded with the statement: “No other confirmation of the direct involvement of the United States in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is required...They are fully involved…Now Kiev representatives are talking about their military involvement not only through the supply of weapons, but through personnel management in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, direct instructions and the choice of targets”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/tr52o&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''[[Reuters]]'' reported the [[Pentagon]] announced on November 23, 2022, that air strikes by NATO ally Turkiye threatened the safety of U.S. military personnel in northern Syria where the United States has roughly 900 troops [[illegal]]ly stationed and without any authorization from the [[U.S. Congress]] or the [[United Nations]].  Turkish President Erdogan said Turkiye's air operations were only the beginning and it would launch a land operation when convenient after an escalation in retaliatory strikes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/turkish-air-strikes-syria-threatened-safety-us-personnel-pentagon-2022-11-23/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Turkiye launched air operations in retaliation for an [[Istanbul]] [[terrorist]] attack a week earlier that killed six people and injured 81, in which Turkiye claimed the United States was complicit.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/25M9F&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On January 27, 2022, neocon provocateur [[Victoria Nuland]] stated at a U.S. State Department press briefing &amp;quot;one way or another Nord Stream II will not move forward.&amp;quot; Ten day later ''[[ABC News]]'' reported that Joe Biden threatened to sabotage the [[Nord Stream II]] pipeline in a public press conference from the [[White House]].  On September 7, 2022, Russian President Vladimir Putin said the Nord Stream II pipeline could be reopened &amp;quot;tomorrow&amp;quot; to alleviate Europe's impending winter heating fuel crisis.  On September 26, 2022, the USS Kearsarge, sailing in the [[Baltic Sea]], sabotaged the pipeline.  The incident is an act of war by the United States against the people of a NATO ally.&lt;br /&gt;

The detachment of US Navy ships led by the amphibious assault ship USS Kearsarge announced the completion of work in the area of the alleged sabotage on gas pipelines. US ships completed their tasks in the Baltic Sea and were spotted heading to the Baltic Straits into the North Sea.

On November 9, 2021, ''Ottawa Citizen'' military reporter David Pugliese revealed that when [[Canadian]] military officials met with the neo-Nazi [[Azov Battalion]] in June 2018, they knew the group used the Nazi “Wolfsangel” symbol and praised officials who helped slaughter [[Jews]] and [[Polish|Poles]] during World War II. “A year before the meeting,” reports Pugliese, &amp;quot;Canada’s Joint Task Force Ukraine produced a briefing on the Azov Battalion, acknowledging its links to Nazi ideology.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ottawacitizen.com/news/national/defence-watch/canadian-officials-who-met-with-ukrainian-unit-linked-to-neo-nazis-feared-exposure-by-news-media-documents&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Rather than express public disagreement with their views, Canadian military officials sought to manage any potential public relations fallout from at least two meetings, which included Azov representatives boasting about their Canadian support.&lt;br /&gt;

A September 2021 report from an Institute at George Washington University revealed that Centuria boasted about being trained by some of the 200 Canadian troops in the Ukraine. The report detailed Centuria members making Nazi salutes, praising [[SS]] units and promoting [[white supremacy]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/far-right-extremists-in-ukrainian-military-bragged-about-canadian-training-report-says-1.5631304&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Since U.S. and Canadian backed ultranationalists overthrew [[democracy|democratically]] elected President [[Viktor Yanukovych]] in the 2014 Maidan coup, Canadian politicians have spoken alongside and marched with Canadian members of Ukraine's [[Pravy Sektor]],&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://theleftchapter.blogspot.com/2016/09/what-is-far-right-organisation-right.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; which said it was “defending the values of white, Christian Europe against the loss of the nation and deregionalisation.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mondediplo.com/2014/03/02ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pravy Sektor has been implicated in the [[Odessa Trade Unions House massacre]] wherein at least 46 ethnic Russians were burnt alive by Maidan fascists.  The black and red flag of Pravy Sektor is based on the Nazi-era &amp;quot;bloods and soil&amp;quot; flag. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alongside the U.S., Canada has funded, equipped and trained the neo-Nazi infiltrated National Police of Ukraine (NPU), which was founded after the democratically Yanukovych was overthrown. A former deputy commander of the Azov Battalion, Vadim Troyan had a series of senior positions in the NPU, including acting chief.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://yvesengler.com/2020/03/01/neo-nazis-arrest-highlights-ottawas-support-for-ukrainian-far-right/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Efraim Zuroff, the Director of the [[Simon Wiesenthal|Simon Wiesenthal Center]] in [[Israel]], denounced Canadian troops for training neo-Nazi fighters in Ukraine, saying Ottawa has a responsibility to prevent such things from happening.   “The Government of Canada did not exercise due diligence” Ephraim Zuroff told ''Citizen'' of Ottawa. “There is no doubt that there are neo-Nazis in Ukraine in various forms, whether in the Azov Regiment or other organizations.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.b92.net/eng/news/world.php?yyyy=2022&amp;amp;mm=04&amp;amp;dd=14&amp;amp;nav_id=113531&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

A celebrated Canadian sniper nicknamed Wali who served in [[Afghanistan]] answered Zelensky's call for mercenaries with much fanfare and signed a three-year contract in early March 2022,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/HofYk2KPLTQ&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; according to the [[CBC]].

[[File:Hypersonic missile attack.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Aftermath of a hypersonic missile attack on NATO mercenary training and command center at [[Yavoriv]], March 12, 2022]]&lt;br /&gt;
Leaked documents revealed that British military-intelligence organizations were training a guerrilla army of 'stay behind' sabotage groups to attack Russian military and civilian targets in Crimea.  The investigative news website ''The Grayzone'' named the key players working with the [[Security Service of Ukraine]] (SBU) in [[Odessa]] to set up the covert force.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thegrayzone.com/2022/11/03/british-spies-terror-army-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; They include military consultant Hugh Ward, who works for private security firm Rezolutionz, [[MI6]] veteran Guy Spindler, former Lithuanian defense minister Audrius Butkevicius and veteran intelligence agent Chris Donnelly.  ''The Grayzone'' also reported that British private military contractor Prevail Partners, founded by former Royal Marines Brigadier and Special Boat Service (SBS) commander Justin Hedges and other ex-commandoes, had been hired to train the new [[guerrilla]] force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The Greyzone'' reported Spindler and Butkevicius lobbied governments to ramp up funding for the program. Internal emails seen by the site asked: &amp;quot;will [[Uncle Sam]] pay for this?&amp;quot; while a &amp;quot;costed proposal&amp;quot; to the British Ministry of Defense had been &amp;quot;turned down for risk reasons.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Alex Finnen, of the British army Specialist Group Military Intelligence section of the 77 Brigade cyber-warfare centre and the Foreign Office's Russia Unit, said in one email from March 2022 that the proposal — tendered at $600,000 per insurgent per year — was “very expensive for what it is,” although the firm was in a &amp;quot;seller's market&amp;quot;.  “I suspect that they have taken the first figure they thought of and then doubled it. So, there needs to be more discussion as to how and what these people are going to do,” Finnen wrote. “Partisans live in and amongst the people. That suggests that you need people from across Ukraine, in small teams to take part as Prevail suggest ‘oblast by oblast’. How are they going to achieve this?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Justin Hedges claimed that his firm could do a much better job by training 40-strong groups in guerrilla warfare tactics. He said funding could be “provided by flowing ‘donations’ through Prevail's established [[NGO]], Rhizome Insights Ltd,” without leaving a clear trail from governments to the mercenary firm.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russia accused the UK of complicity in the September 26, 2022 bombing of the [[Nord Stream]] pipelines across the [[Baltic Sea]], the October 8, 2022 truck bombing of the [[Kerch Strait bridge]] to Crimea and the October 29, 2022 attack on the Crimean port of [[Sevastopol]] with seven marine and nine aerial drones.  Other incidents in the Crimean peninsula are suspected to be the work of covert units, including an explosion at a military airfield in August 2022 and an attack using a small drone to drop explosives.&lt;br /&gt;

In 2021, the [[Biden junta]] stole a contract to build submarines for Australia away from the America's oldest ally, [[France]], crippling France's [[military industrial complex]] and leaving bitter feelings for the attack on the French economy;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/11/01/biden-knew-france-had-no-warning-of-australia-us-submarine-pact/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the French contract would have allowed for the construction to be done in Australia using Australian workers and benefiting the Australian Labor Party.  When the Australian Morrison regime was disposed, the new Albanese regime immediately scrubbed the contract with the American military industrial complex and re-hired the behind schedule and cost-overrun French contractors.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On March 26, 2022, two officers of the main department of external security of the Ministry of Defense of the French Republic (DGSE) flying by helicopter were shot down by [[Russian]] forces while on a mission to withdraw fighters from the [[Battle of Mariupol]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://avia--pro-net.translate.goog/news/na-ukraine-sbit-vertolyot-s-oficerami-francuzskoy-razvedki-dgse&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The two were immediately taken prisoner by the Russians.  According to reports by both a Russian and Ukrainian source, French soldiers from the Special Operations Command were in Mariupol side by side with the Azov Nazis.  Troops attached to the Special Operations Command are under the orders of Chief of the Defense Staff, General Thierry Burkhard, but they receive their orders directly from the Chief of the Armed Forces, President Emmanuel Macron.  On March 31, 2022, General Eric Vidaud, the head of the Direction of Military Intelligence (DRM), was fired.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/world-news/2022/03/31/frances-intelligence-chief-failed-predict-invasion-step-immediately/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Public broadcaster France-Télévision presented a report on during the France-2 evening news, on March 31, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.voltairenet.org/article216354.html?id_article=216354#social&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The report acknowledged that the Azov Battalion consisted of neo-Nazi elements since 2014, singling out one of its founders, [[Andriy Biletsky]], but insisted that it had evolved into a respectable defense force. However, France-2 omitted to mention its other founder, [[Dmytro Yarosh]], who during the Russia-Ukraine war was Adviser to the [[Commander-in-Chief]] of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The French channel referred to an old United Nations report documenting systematic torture in [[Donbas]], but it neglected to mention either the Azov Battalion's special prisons uncovered by the Russian army,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thesaker.is/former-sbu-employee-revealed-information-about-secret-prisons-in-donbass-and-kievs-involvement-in-downing-mh17/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; or statements issued by the UN in this regard. France-2 also failed to explain the weight of the [[Banderite]]s in [[Ukrainian nationalist]] history, reducing the prominence of the neo-Nazis to brandishing the [[swastika]]. France-2 reported the threat to be between 3,000 and 5,000 men, while ''[[Reuters]]'' reported the paramilitary [[Banderite]]s number to be 102,000 men, split into several militias incorporated within the [[Territorial Defense]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With Macron facing re-election in weeks, the fact French officers were holed up training neo-Nazis in Azovstal was an embarrassing revelation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.veteranstoday.com/2022/04/09/nato-fails-to-evacuate-military-advisors-from-mariupol-in-dry-cargo-ship/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====Hate crimes against Russians=====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Paris office of Rossotrudnichestvo, a Russian federal government agency carrying out responsibilities for foreign aid and cultural exchange, was under attack after a [[Molotov cocktail]] thrown at it. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova asked French authorities to act on the matter and claimed that similar [[hate crimes]] are at spike by writing, &amp;quot;We demand that French authorities ensure proper security for our official institutions. Exactly the same kinds of attacks regularly faced Russian missions on the territory of Ukraine until 2022 - including the Russian Consulate General in Lvov in December 2021.&amp;quot;  Russians living abroad have reportedly experienced a worrisome rise in [[discrimination]], hate crimes and acts of [[vandalism]] amidst the ongoing global NATO-inspired [[Russophobic]] [[psyop]]s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.republicworld.com/world-news/russia-ukraine-crisis/russian-agency-building-attacked-in-paris-with-molotov-amid-ukraine-invasion-articleshow.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Germany====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Florence Gaub.PNG|right|300px|thumb|NATO propaganda to dehumanize Russians.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On February 26, 2022 [[Germany]] announced it would deliver 1,000 anti-tank weapons and 500 [[Stinger]] missiles to the Kyiv regime.  The German Interior Ministry declared on March 28, 2022, that any individual who displays the letter “Z” would be liable for prosecution.  The letter was displayed on Russian military vehicles during Operation Denazification.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.npr.org/2022/03/28/1089229499/german-states-outlaw-z&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Florence Gaub, deputy director of the European Union Institute for Security Studies (EUISS), which describes itself as “the Union’s agency dealing with the analysis of foreign, security and defence policy issues,” used this racist language to dehumanize Russians on April 12, 2022, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“We should not forget, even if Russians look European, they are not European, in a cultural sense.  They [Russians] think differently about violence or death.

On April 22, 2022, Chancellor [[Olaf Scholz]] said he's reluctant to renew a [[German-Russian war]] through proxies by sending heavy weapons to Ukraine because of the real threat of nuclear war.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/bopanc/status/1517581893037875202&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Four days later, bowing to pressure from the [[Biden regime]], the German government flipped and announced it will deliver Gepard anti-aircraft tanks to Ukraine.  The Gepard (Cheetah) is a short range (5 km / 3 miles) anti-air system on a tank chassis useful against helicopters, drones and low flying planes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/major-reversal-after-warning-nuclear-war-germany-approves-tanks-ukraine&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 3, 2022 ''Yahoo News'' reported that Ukraine Ambassador to Germany [[Andriy Melnyk]] insulted Chancellor Scholz in Berlin, calling him a &amp;quot;sulky liver sausage&amp;quot; for not visiting the war zone.  The Kyiv regime had denied German president Frank-Walter Steinmeiner, who helped broker the Minsk Agreements, a welcome to Kyiv in April.  Scholz responded to the Ukrainian government's chief representative in Germany,  “You can’t do that. It can’t work that when a country has provided so much military aid, so much financial aid — which is needed — when it’s a question of the security guarantees that will be important to Ukraine in the future — you then say: But the president can’t come.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/sulky-liver-sausage-ukraine-ambassador-113038099.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====Sleepwalking into war=====&lt;br /&gt;
Hans-Georg Maassen, who headed Germany's Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution, Germany's domestic security agency from 2012 to 2018, warned his fellow citizens on May 25, 2022, that Germany was “sleepwalking” into war with Russia.  Maassen cited on TV Berlin's ‘Special’ program a ruling by the [[International Court of Justice]] that the supply of weapons to one of the warring parties in a conflict makes the supplier a party to the conflict, too.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The former intelligence chief argued that, contrary to what the German media says, “Ukraine is not a bastion of human rights, of freedom, peace and Western values.”  Massen was terrified by the lack of public discussion on this issue, telling viewers:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We are now a warring party on Ukraine’s side. Let that sink in: We are a warring party. Against Russia.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepressunited.com/updates/germany-sleepwalking-into-war-with-russia-former-intel-chief/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Germany's decision to send [[Leopard 2]] tanks to Ukraine is extremely dangerous and takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation, the Russian Embassy in [[Berlin]] said on January 25, 2023.  The embassy said Germany was abandoning its “historical responsibility to Russia” arising from [[Nazi]] [[war crimes]] in [[World War Two]].  The embassy said that the decision would escalate the conflict to a new level.  “This extremely dangerous decision takes the conflict to a new level of confrontation and contradicts the statements of German politicians about the unwillingness of the Federal Republic of Germany to be drawn into it,” Ambassador Sergey Nechayev said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/psl5tSj_sRo&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Poland===&lt;br /&gt;
During the Russia-Ukraine war, the Polish Sejm or Senate passed a resolution 418 to 4 demanding [[reparations]] from Poland's NATO ally [[Germany]].  The resolution stated that &amp;quot;the Republic of Poland has never received compensation for the numerous human and material losses caused by the German state.&amp;quot;  The resolution claims that Warsaw has never renounced its claims against Berlin.  &amp;quot;The allegation that these claims have been withdrawn or ceased to be relevant over the years has no basis, neither moral nor legal.&amp;quot;  Authorities in Warsaw said they were demanding $1.3 trillion from Berlin as reparations for damage from World War II.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://eadaily.com/ru/news/2022/09/15/seym-polshi-prinyal-rezolyuciyu-s-trebovaniem-reparaciy-ot-frg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Polish NATO mercenaries====&lt;br /&gt;
The Polish new site ''Niezaleizny Dziennik Polityczny'' reported on November 23, 2022:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|'''A shameful end. American quarters for Polish mercenaries.'''&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In early November, the regional media announced plans to create burials similar to American war cemeteries in Olsztyn. The reports sparked a wave of indignation, both among the city's residents and Poles across the country. &amp;quot;This is a necropolis for Poles? We are from a different culture ”this is how indignant users in social media reacted to the strange ideas of the city council.&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
The municipal cemetery in Dywity is the main necropolis in Olsztyn and covers over 35 ha. Today it is loud about it all over Poland, because soon it will look like a war cemetery in the USA. It has to be like in an American movie. A large lawn with identical tombstones on it. Without trees, benches, angels bending over the dead. The tombstones will be the same, they will only differ in color. Their manufacturers provided for only three: black, gray and red-brown.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The main reason for the creation of the American cemetery in Olsztyn was the drastically increased number of burials in the region, mainly soldiers' graves.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NATO cemetary in Poland.jpg|left|300px|thumb|NATO cemetery in Poland.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://polishnews.co.uk/olsztyn-american-cemetery-quarters/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
This situation has become a real problem for the local government of Olsztyn, where the 16th Pomeranian Mechanized Division is stationed. Almost daily military funerals combined with volleys of honor began to irritate the residents and provoked numerous questions to the city administration and the command of the 16th Division. To avoid additional publicity of the problem, the authorities decided to create a separate &amp;quot;American&amp;quot; cemetery.&lt;br /&gt;
...&lt;br /&gt;
After the outbreak of the war in Ukraine in February this year, President Andrzej Duda and Minister of National Defense Mariusz Błaszczak officially called on Poles to join the ranks of mercenaries and fight on the side of the Kiev regime. Among the fighters who went to war were professional soldiers of the 16th Mechanized Division and veterans of the unit living in the region.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the 10 months of bloody fighting, according to information from publicly available sources, over 1,200 Polish citizens died in Ukraine, including soldiers and veterans of the 16th PDZ. The number of injured and maimed people also amounts to several thousand.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/11/ukraine-war-a-contentious-graveyard-in-poland.html#more&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
In January 2023 the Polish Ministry of Defense reported 15,900 professional soldiers resigned from the Army and Polish Territorial Defense in 2022. This compares with 6,000 resignations the previous year of 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rp.pl/wojsko/art37865691-marek-kozubal-fala-odejsc-z-wojska-mon-nie-widzi-problemu&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Many signed up for U.S.-funded mercenary activity in Ukraine after their official resignations.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Romania===&lt;br /&gt;
On November 26, 2019, according to ''Radio Liberty'', NATO &amp;quot;showed off&amp;quot; its Aegis Ashore nuclear missile system in [[Romania]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/nato-shows-off-missile-base-in-romania-calling-it-purely-defensive-/30291193.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 12, 2022, a column of NATO military equipment was spotted in Romania moving in the direction of the border with Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Russian sources reported that the Polish Armed Forces established a strike group on the territory of Romania. The total contingent is estimated at up to 8,000 servicemen. A consolidated contingent is planned to enter Moldovan territory under a plausible pretext, such as a humanitarian operation or an official government request.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As NATO prepared to invade Transnistria, women in the bordering city of Khust (pop. 28,000) threw stones at the Ukrainian military registration office on April 30, 2022, tried to break into the building, and demanded that their husbands and sons be returned home from the frontline.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/cGsxgfbYucw&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

On May 26, 2022, Polish military equipment was spotted in the Romanian town of Brielle. The town is located near the Ukrainian and Moldovan borders. In addition, Polish troops have been spotted on the border between Romania and Moldova.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On September 17, 2022, former Romanian Education Minister Andrei Marga declared: &amp;quot;We are in a very special situation here, and I take this with all responsibility, Ukraine exists in unnatural borders…It should cede Transcarpathia to Hungary, Galicia to Poland, Bukovina to Romania, Donbass and Crimea to Russia…These are the territories of other countries.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://azlyrics.com.az/lyrics/ex-minister-of-foreign-affairs-of-romania-called-the-borders-of-ukraine-unnatural/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On November 23, 2022 [[Spain]] announced it would send 8 F-18 and 130 troops to Romania in December 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/spain-send-troops-f-18-fighter-jets-romania-december-pm-says-2022-11-23/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On February 10, 2023, Ukrainian dictator Volodymyr Zelensky and top military commander [[Valerii Zaluzhnyi]] both issued deceptive media postings alleging that Russian missiles had violated NATO ally Romania's air space. Romania’s military put out its own statement denying that allegation. “The closest point of the target's trajectory to Romania's airspace was recorded by radar systems approximately 35 kilometers North-East of the border,” Romanian officials said.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.army.md/?lng=3&amp;amp;action=show&amp;amp;cat=122&amp;amp;obj=8026&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Belgium===&lt;br /&gt;
Despite the fact that both [[Belgium]] and the UK are NATO members, in late 2022 a dispute developed between the two nations over the transfer of crucial technology that is essential for sustaining the British nuclear deterrent. Concerns inside the Belgian government that Britain has threatened to cancel the arms deal for machineguns built in Belgium by FN Herstal worth up to £514.90 million (€600 million) unless the export is approved.  The ruling coalition of Belgium, which includes the [[Green party]], blocked the shipment of a specialized isostatic press that was required to sustain Britain's nuclear weapons.  The American-Belgian company EPSI in [[Antwerp]] manufactures the technology, a specialized high-pressure isostatic press used in the nuclear sector to handle radioactive waste.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Denmark===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:NATO Operation Deter Putin.PNG|right|300px|thumb|NATO Operation Deter Putin with no ammo or underpants. Apparently, U.S. taxpayers were supposed to buy underwear for Danish troops from Russia's ally, China.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In late March 2022 NATO asked Denmark to send a battalion of 800 soldiers to Latvia to bolster the military alliance's eastern flank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 23, 2022, it was announced that [[Denmark]] would provide an unspecified number of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles and launchers to Ukraine—a report quickly followed by American defense experts noting: “The Harpoons don't do anything to solve Russia's submarine anti-ship capabilities or its anti-ship missile capabilities that absolutely dwarf Ukraine's, even with the Harpoons, and those of NATO, for that matter…The Black Sea is one of the densest anti-ship missile engagement zones on earth, and Russia is the player with the preeminent arsenal with many types of anti-ship missiles deployed on its ships, coastal areas, and aircraft.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thedrive.com/the-war-zone/harpoon-anti-ship-missiles-headed-to-ukraine-from-denmark&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Denmark's supply of US-made Harpoon anti-ship missiles to Ukraine to fight the Russian Black Sea Fleet sent off alarm bells in the Kremlin, revealing the non-humanitarian goals of NATO's &amp;quot;coalition of the willing&amp;quot; for provocative engagements with Russia's Black Sea fleet.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 21, 2022, Danish troops in Latvia complained about a lack of [[underwear]] and other necessary supplies;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/ItAA6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; China, which is aligned with Russia, is the world's largest manufacturer of underwear.  The soldiers also complained that they had no ammunition.&lt;br /&gt;

===Slovakia===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:No NATO Slovakia.jpg|right|400px|thumb|Slovaks protesting against NATO membership.]]&lt;br /&gt;
In February 2022, 44% of people blamed NATO and the US for the tension on the Ukrainian borders, while only 33% blamed Russia.   An early poll found that 45% wanted Slovakia out of NATO.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slovakia possesses the Russian made S-300 missile defense system. When it acquired the system, it signed binding end user agreements with Moscow not to transfer the system.  On March 17, 2022, NATO threatened to transfer the system to the Kyiv regime.  Russian foreign secretary [[Sergey Lavrov]] made clear on March 18, 2022, that NATO's continued weapon smuggling system into Ukraine to prolong the conflict and cause needless deaths of more people would make NATO weapon convoys &amp;quot;fair game&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.theepochtimes.com/russia-vows-to-block-transfer-of-s-300-missile-system-to-ukraine-says-targeting-arms-shipments-fair-game_4346213.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The outdated S-300 missile system that Slovakia &amp;quot;donated&amp;quot; to Ukraine, in violation of a contractual agreement with Russia, was destroyed 2 days later.  The S-300 system has been replaced by the [[S-400]] and 500 systems. Slovakia now will receive, free of charge courtesy of the U.S. taxpayer and [[military industrial complex]], the latest in U.S. missile defense technology.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Slovakia's proposal to restrict food exports was met with consternation by the [[European Commission]], threatening cohesion of the European Union.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tfiglobalnews.com/2022/05/14/slovakias-food-is-for-slovakians-slovakias-trade-restrictions-leave-eu-fuming/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A survey conducted in September 2022 by the Slovak Academy of Sciences found more than half of Slovaks favored [[Russia]] to win the war in Ukraine, while leas than one-third favorized NATO/Ukraine.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://anti-empire.com/most-slovaks-want-russia-to-win-ukraine-war/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In addition to tanks and infantry fighting vehicles, the Czech Republic sent more than 20 RM-70 MLRS to Ukraine, which indicates a clear escalation from NATO.  Multiple rocket launchers are a Czechoslovak/Czech variant of the Soviet BM-21 Grad rocket system, which has some peculiarities.  Providing Ukraine with such a large amount of offensive weapons indicates not only the fact that [[Prague]] supports Kyiv, but also that the Czech Republic is interested in aggravating the situation and confronting Russia.  According to official data, there are about 60 RM-70 multiple launch rocket systems in service with the Czech Republic. At the same time, there are so far unconfirmed data that, in addition to the installations themselves, several hundred ammunition were transferred to Ukraine.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On December 5, 2022, in an interview with Michal Strnad, owner of CSG, ''Reuters'' reported that it would take 10–15 years to refill Western stocks of artillery ammunition depleted to support the Ukraine's army.  CSG is responsible for about 25-30% of European output of NATO-standard 155mm artillery.  Strnad said CSG now had capacity of 80,000-100,000 of artillery shells per year, a significant chunk of the annual capacity in Europe which he put at 270,000-300,000.  Strnad said Ukraine was firing 40,000 shells per week.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/article/ukraine-crisis-ammunition-csg/restocking-western-ammunition-after-arming-ukraine-will-take-years-producer-idINL8N32R4T9&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Slovenia===&lt;br /&gt;
Slovenia agreed to send the M84 tanks left over from the Yugoslav army to Ukraine. Meanwhile, Slovenia demanded compensation from Germany. It wanted new Leopard 2 tanks and Puma armored infantry fighting vehicles, as well as Boxer armored personnel carriers. However, Germany refused to supply such expensive equipment and offered Slovenia outdated Marder BMPs and Fuchs armored personnel carriers from the Bundeswehr reserves.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Turkiye===&lt;br /&gt;
The Armed Forces of Ukraine positioned 420 World War II-era sea mines anchored to weighted boxes on the Black Sea bed to deter amphibius landing craft to the approaches of the ports of Odessa, Ochikov and Chernomorsk.  A Black Sea storm caused many to break free of their securing cables and bob to the surface, drifting south with the prevailing currents.  The mines arrived in Romanian and Turkish coastal waters, posing a threat to commercial shipping and human life.  In early March 2022 an Estonian general cargo ship was at anchor when it was hit below the water line by a large explosion.  Six crewmen were rescued but the ship sank.  One mine caused a temporary closure of the Bosphorus Straight.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Turkiye closed the Bosphorus to NATO warships, including minesweepers. Minister of Defense Hulusi Akar said, “We have a suspicion that the mines were deliberately introduced. Perhaps they were fired as part of some plan to put pressure on us in order to let NATO minesweepers [through the straits] into the [[Black Sea]]. But we are committed to the rules of the Montreux [Convention] and do not let warships enter the Black Sea.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thefrontierpost.com/turkish-defense-minister-says-ankara-will-not-let-warships-into-the-black-sea/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Meanwhile, U.S. socialist premier [[Joe Biden]] bragged of NATO unity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.yahoo.com/president-biden-touts-nato-unity-192119665.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Turkiye has been a member of NATO since 1952.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 17, 2022, Turkiye launched Operation Claw-Lock against the U.S.-allied Kurdistan Workers Party ([[PKK]]) terrorist organization in the Kurdistan region of Syria.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As a condition to turn Turkiye into a natural gas hub as an alternative for Russian gas supplies to Europe after the American [[terrorist]] attack on the civilian infrastructure of [[Germany]] and the [[Nordstream]] pipelines, Turkiye agreed to cease sales of weapons and [[Bayraktar]] drones to the [[Kyiv regime]].&lt;br /&gt;

Foreign Minister Gabrielius Landsbergis highlighted Lithuania's loss of sovereignty in dealing with other nations since joining NATO and the EU: &amp;quot;This is not a Lithuanian decision. These are European sanctions that came into force on June 17, and the railways are now applying the sanctions”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/eu-just-implemented-risky-anti-russia-measure-could-trigger-ww3-few-are-taking-notice&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The Russian foreign ministry said: ‘We consider provocative measures of the Lithuanian side which violate Lithuania’s international legal obligations, primarily the 2002 Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the [[European Union]] on transit between the Kaliningrad region and the rest of the [[Russian Federation]], to be openly hostile.’&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apa.az/en/cis-countries/russia-accused-lithuania-of-violating-international-law-378852&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
A phone conversation between EU foreign policy chief Kathy Ashton and Estonia's foreign minister Urmas Payette which was leaked to the public on March 5, 2014, revealed the snipers who murdered the &amp;quot;[[Heavenly Hundred]]&amp;quot; were actually from the new coalition government and that Western diplomats knew this and covered it up.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/8-RyOaFwcEw?t=28&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the Russia-Ukraine war, Estonia's prime minister Kaja Kallas announced Estonia's accession to NATO may not have been what Estonia bargained for.  Estonia would be wiped off the map and the historic centre of its capital city razed to the ground under NATO plans to defend the country from any Russian attack.  NATO plans for the three Baltic states was to allow them to be overrun before allegedly 'liberating' them after 180 days, if possible.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ft.com/content/a430b191-39c8-4b03-b3fd-8e7e948a5284&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Iceland===&lt;br /&gt;
Chinese Ambassador to Iceland He Rulong and Chairman of the NATO Military Committee Admiral Rob Bauer exchanged impudence at the Arctic Circle Assembly in [[Reykjavik]], [[Iceland]].  Ukraine became a bone of contention, ''[[Bloomberg]]'' reported the night before, October 15, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the agency, in his speech, Bauer said that China &amp;quot;does not respect the values&amp;quot; of the alliance, and also &amp;quot;undermines the world legal order,&amp;quot; to which He Rulong pointed out to the admiral that his speech was &amp;quot;filled with arrogance.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Following the remark of the Chinese diplomat, the admiral asked him why, despite the importance of the principle of sovereignty for China, Beijing has not yet condemned Russia for conducting a [[special military operation]] in Ukraine.  To this, He Rulong replied that China's position &amp;quot;on the Ukrainian crisis&amp;quot; takes into account the historical perspective, and the world needs to &amp;quot;understand the root cause&amp;quot; of what is happening in Ukraine.  President Vladimir Putin announced on February 24, 2022, a military operation in connection with the request of the leaders of the [[Donbas]] republics for help.  He stressed that [[Moscow]]'s plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories, and the goals are the demilitarization and denazification of the country.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[The West]], in response to the decision of the Russian Federation, began to gradually introduce numerous and large-scale sanctions against it and began to supply weapons and military equipment to Kyiv.  Several Western politicians have acknowledged that this is, in fact, an economic war against Russia.  As Putin stated on March 16, 2022, the Western sanctions policy against Moscow has all the signs of [[aggression]].  He pointed out that the policy of containment of the Russian Federation is a long-term strategy of the West.&lt;br /&gt;

Foreign mercenary fighters are not protected by the [[Geneva Convention]].  When captured in a war zone, under martial law, they can be executed on the spot without trial. Under international law, they are criminals who kill people for profit.  Nonetheless, these facts did not inhibit UK Foreign Minister [[Liz Truss]], in the Russophobic hysteria gripping Western media, from actively encouraging young men across the planet to go and get themselves killed with no support of their own government which is too cowardly to involve itself and declare war,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.standard.co.uk/news/uk/liz-truss-british-fight-ukraine-russia-b984892.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and without informing these young fighters of any facts, if she indeed understood any facts that in an ordinary and sane world her job would require.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.lbc.co.uk/radio/presenters/iain-dale/liz-truss-green-light-for-brits-to-fight-in-ukraine-actually-illegal-david-davis/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  British Prime Minister [[Boris Johnson]] had to spend the next two months walking back her suggestion to UK citizens to violate both British and international law.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/prime-minister-boris-johnson-liz-truss-uk-government-ukraine-b2025893.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On March 12, 2022, the so-called, &amp;quot;International Peacekeeping and Security Centre&amp;quot; operated by the United States at Yavoriv, about 35 miles west-northwest of [[Lviv]] in Western Ukraine and about 10 miles from the Polish border, came under cruise missile attack by Russian forces.  Reports indicate there were about 1,500 foreign mercenaries being trained by NATO and awaiting deployment.  ''[[WaPo]]'' reported: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|The [Lviv] facility is indeed the “main training center where U.S. and Canadian troops have been working with our Ukrainian partners for the last 6-7 years,” retired Lt. Gen.

Other reports surfaced of foreign nationals traveling to volunteer in the war effort were duped into signing indefinite service contracts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/2022/03/17/ukraines-foreign-volunteers-are-being-told-they-wont-be-able-to-leave-its-a-death-warrant/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Contracts with the Ukrainian fascist regime state those joining will be under the “same obligations” as Ukrainian men. Under martial law, the people who sign this contract from the ages of 18-60 will have to “remain in the Ukrainian foreign legion for the duration of war” – meaning they can be shot as deserters if they attempt to leave.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite a mercenary's legal status under existing international agreements, the Russian Federation made clear from the outset that captured foreign mercenaries recruited and trained by NATO countries would not be summarily executed, but would stand trial under the laws of the Russian Federation to document the war crimes of NATO.&lt;br /&gt;

''Southfront'' reported on April 18, 2022, that the Russian MOD claimed since the start of the operation “the Kiev nationalist regime has brought 6,824 foreign mercenaries from 63 countries to Ukraine”.  The largest group came from Poland – 1,717 people. About 1,500 mercenaries came from the US, Canada and also Romania. From the UK and the Georgian republic, up to 300 each. From the Turkish-controlled areas of the Syrian Arab Republic came 193 people.  Moscow claimed that the number of mercenaries had been steadily declining as a result of the hostilities and currently stood at 4,877. Russian armed forces eliminated 1,035 foreign mercenaries in hostilities. Another 912 mercenaries refused to participate in hostilities and deserted.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/a-revealing-video-on-european-super-activist-who-were-deliberately-sent-to-deaths-by-brussels/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In early spring 2022 NATO military personnel continued to arrive in Ukraine under the guise of foreign volunteers or mercenaries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seven US mercenaries who were fighting with Kyiv forces were killed at the Krasitel plant in Rubizhne city, an assistant to the head of Chechnya, told ''RIA Novosti'' on May 15, 2022.  Footage showing the passport of one of the slain mercenaries, reportedly an agent of the US intelligence, surfaced online earlier.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/seven-us-mercenaries-were-killed-by-russian-forces-in-donbass-report/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On June 2, 2022, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|&amp;quot;According to the data that we have, today the total number of foreign mercenaries in Ukraine has almost halved - from 6,600 to 3,500 people. The Kiev regime's urgent attempts to guarantee legal protection to mercenaries, including them in the list of military units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine or the National Guard, or issuing them new [[passport]]s of Ukrainian citizens, will not save any of them.  In accordance with international humanitarian law, mercenaries are not combatants, and the best that awaits them is criminal liability.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
On June 15, 2022, the Russian armed services created a website with a searchable database of all known mercenaries in Ukraine.  The purpose was to give mercenaries the opportunity to surrender voluntarily and possibly an exit out of the war zone if they have not participated in hostilities.  It also allows for tips from the public to report on mercenaries in the warzone that are not yet listed. The status of whether they dead or alive can also be determined from the site.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://foreigncombatants.ru&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In February 2022 the Kyiv regime sent an emergency request to Black African nations for mercenaries. The Ukrainian embassy in [[Algeria]] and [[Senegal]] made a racist call to arms on Facebook that said anyone who wants to join the defense of security in Europe and in the world can come and stand alongside the Ukrainians against the invaders of the 21st century.  The post also invited interested persons to fill out a form.  The Facebook post triggered a [[diplomatic]] reaction in both of nations.  Algeria's foreign ministry was told the embassy to withdraw the illegal and racist Facebook post immediately and it accused Kyiv of violating the provisions of the Viena Convention on Diplomatic Relations between states.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Kyiv regime's efforts to hire black Senegalese people to fight the Russians on the battlefield also faced similar resistance from the Senegalese government. the Senegalese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the recruitment of volunteer mercenaries or foreign fighters on the territory of the country was illegal and liable to the penalties provided by the law. &lt;br /&gt;
 &lt;br /&gt;
As for media reports. the Kyiv regime was paying a sum ranging from $1,000 to $2,000 per day to foreign fighters along with other post-war benefits, assuming they win.  Some white European fighters however, were being paid up to $3,000 per day for the same job. Other reports said that Ukraine was encouraging [[Islamic State]] fighters in [[Syria]] to fight alongside the Ukrainian military against Russia.&lt;br /&gt;

NATO originally was not part of President [[Franklin Roosevelt]]'s 'Grand Design' for the post-[[World War II]] era, which included the [[United Nations]] and the [[International Monetary Fund]]. Roosevelt's original intention was to institutionalize the military alliance of the Big Three - the United States, the [[British Empire]], and [[Russia]] - to keep the peace after the defeat of the [[Axis Powers]]. The failure of Soviet-communist occupied countries to adhere to the right of [[self-determination]] and hold elections caused the Angelo-American alliance to dust off the 1941 [[Atlantic Charter]] and formalize it into a treaty organization. By 1950, the United Nations was at war with itself, where the UN [[Security Council]] voted to send &amp;quot;UN troops&amp;quot; to combat the Soviet-backed [[North Korean]] regime, a Resolution the Soviet Union could have easily [[vetoed]].&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Cost per death.png|right|300px|thumb|‘Value for Money’: How to kill 625,000 people for just $0.29 cost per death.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The NATO alliance is in no way a military adjunct arm of the UN Security Council, which [[progressive]]s in government and [[fake news]] media attempted to create the illusion during the [[Obama administration]]'s [[Libyan War]]. NATO was created to defend Europe, not to wage offensive war in [[Africa]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The North Atlantic Treaty Organization was established after the failure of the United Nations Organization to bring about democratic elections and &amp;quot;self determination of peoples&amp;quot; in [[Eastern Europe]] shortly after [[World War II]] in 1949. The original members consisted of ten European countries, the United States, and [[Canada]].  These countries formed the alliance to further the goal of security in the North Atlantic region, and they did this by ingraining the principal that an attack against one member would be considered an attack against all.  Therefore, all would respond with support to the attacked nation.  The first secretary-general of NATO, Lord Ismay, once quipped, NATO's purpose in Europe was “to keep the Russians out, the Americans in, and the Germans down.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO was created to short-circuit the delays the United States endured from domestic non-interventionists in entering two world wars on behalf of Great Britain.  Should Britain perceive an attack again in the future, either from Germany or the Soviet Union, America would immediately be involved without any Congressional debate or public opinion polling.  This is where the concept of &amp;quot;an attack against one is an attack against all&amp;quot; originated.  Some critics quipped it effectively made Great Britain the 51st state.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1952 NATO began its first round of enlargement of the early alliance's history, letting in [[Greece]] and [[Turkey]].  By 1968, those two members were at war with each other.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 1982 the [[Falklands War]] presented a special problem for NATO.  When the United Kingdom perceived an attack against the [[Falkland Islands]], it did not invoke Article 5.  The Falkland Islands fell under the rubric of the [[Monroe Doctrine]] and other defensive alliances the United States has through the [[Organization of American States]].  Argentina claimed the Falklands as their own, and the United Kingdom sent an invasion fleet to &amp;quot;liberate&amp;quot; the English-speaking colony.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2006, Ivo H. Daalder, the current President of the Chicago Council on Global Affairs and previously the U.S. Permanent Representative on the Council of NATO (2009-2013), published with co-author James Goldgeier a proposal for a &amp;quot;Global NATO&amp;quot; in the [[globalist]] magazine ''Foreign Affairs''.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===NATO Members===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Austria]] is a [[Europe]]an country that never joined NATO.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.catholicculture.org/commentary/ukraine-2022-fatima-austrias-neutrality-prayer-and-fasting/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Under the Austrian State Treaty (May 15, 1955), the [[Soviet Union]] withdrew its troops under the promise that Austria would declare its neutrality and remain a buffer between [[Western Europe]] and [[Eastern Europe]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/lw/107185.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  This was the only treaty signed by both the Soviet Union and United States in the entire decade following the 1947 Paris Peace Treaties.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Nearly all of the remainder of [[Western Europe]] has joined NATO, with the additional exceptions (among large countries) of [[Switzerland]], [[Ireland]], [[Sweden]], and [[Finland]], though, following the Russian Federation's Special Operation in Ukraine, the latter two are reconsidering. Ireland belongs to the [[EU Battle group]] and has participated with some  NATO led missions under a UN mandate. Support for joining Nato has increased recently in the Republic of Ireland&lt;br /&gt;

===Soviet reaction===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO acceptance of [[Europe]]an countries led Soviet Russia in 1955 to set up a counter organization, The [[Warsaw Treaty Organization]] (or Warsaw Pact). Common defense, the ongoing MAD strategy, and economic crisis led the [[Soviet Union]] and the Warsaw Pact to its demise. NATO's transatlantic relations and prevention were key to the end of the [[Cold War]], and the beginning of an interlinking of United States and European policies, which still remains to this day.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Post-Cold war expansion and aggression==&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:American war criminals.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Accused of war crimes in Yugoslavia, Albright (left) Clinton (center) Biden (right).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/kosovo-indictment-proves-bill-clintons-serbian-war-atrocities/ Kosovo Indictment Proves Bill Clinton’s Serbian War Atrocities], by Jim Bovard, Jun 25, 2020. ''The Libertarian Institute''.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The crowning achievements of Presidents [[Ronald Reagan]] and [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] was the signing of the long sought-after Treaty on Intermediate Nuclear Forces (INF Treaty) in 1988.  The treaty banned placement of nuclear missiles with a range of 1,000 to 5,000 kilometers near each other's borders or the capital cities of allies.  This agreement paved the way for the end of the Cold War.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When the Cold War ended, NATO or ‘the collective West’, began promoting an aggressive ideology of organized violence, a politically- economically- and militarily-enforced doctrine known as ‘globalism’.  After the Kosovo bombing in 1998,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aim.org/media-monitor/kosovo-wag-the-dog/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the use of NATO to wage aggressive war called into question the very reason for the  organization's existence.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.jstor.org/stable/4489267&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Some called for the abolishment of the organization, stating that it had lost it original purpose. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
With the collapse of the [[Warsaw Pact]] in 1991, despite assurances from the [[collective West]] to the [[Russian Federation]] that it would not move eastward, NATO violated those agreements anyway and absorbed former Warsaw Pact countries in [[Central Europe]]an countries. These included [[Poland]], [[Estonia]], [[Latvia]] and [[Lithuania]], buttressing up against the borders of the Russian Federation where intermediate nuclear missiles (1,000 to 5,000 km range) could be placed in violation of the 1988 INF Treaty.  [[Slovakia]], [[Slovenia]], [[Bulgaria]] and [[Romania]] also joined the alliance, resulting in an organization of 26 nations.  This spark of expansion was seen as an offensive move by [[Russia]] and caused a rift in the NATO and Russian relations. The Russian lower house released to the press a statement, &amp;quot;At present we are debating the draft statement of the State Duma which we are planning to adopt in connection with NATO's expansion in Europe. Our opinion is equivocal that this act is erroneous. I think that this is a big historical mistake on the part of western states.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After dangling the bait of NATO membership before Ukraine for fourteen years, NATO was compelled to confess that it would not be able to come to the defense of Ukraine in case of any Russian military invasion because Article 5 only allowed collective defense to be invoked for NATO members, which Ukraine is not.  Any sanction package that targets Russian energy and/or access to banking institutions would hurt Europe far more than Russia.  There is no viable alternative for Europe to Russian energy supplies.  The U.S. cannot compete with Russia in terms of price and volume when it comes to home heating oil and natural gas deliveries.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
{{Anchor|NATO expansion}}&lt;br /&gt;
=== NATO expansion: Russia reaction===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO expansion since the Clinton era represents a betrayal of the international agreements that ended the Cold War, caused the [[Fall of the Wall]], and collapse of Soviet communism.  Western [[oligarch]]s and [[neo-fascist]] [[globalism|global]] interests have profited immeasurably  from ending the Cold War and betraying security agreements made with the Russian Federation in the late 1980s and early 1990s.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To assent to the reunification of Germany, Soviet leader [[Mikhail Gorbachev]] ultimately agreed to a proposal from then U.S. Secretary of State [[James Baker (DOS)]] that a reunited Germany would be part of NATO but the military alliance would not move “one inch” to the east, that is, absorb any of the former [[Warsaw Pact]] nations into NATO.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F03c2978a-e903-461c-943e-8124481200b2_772x590.jpeg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/w_600,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fpbs.substack.com%2Fmedia%2FFs9pHl7XoAUzGW5.jpg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On Feb. 9, 1990, Baker said: “We consider that the consultations and discussions in the framework of the 2+4 mechanism should give a guarantee that the reunification of Germany will not lead to the enlargement of NATO’s military organization to the East.” On the next day, then German Chancellor [[Helmut Kohl]] said: “We consider that NATO should not enlarge its sphere of activity.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/01/28/the-tangled-tale-of-nato-expansion-at-the-heart-of-ukraine-crisis/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Gorbachev's mistake was not to get it in writing as a legally-binding agreement.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;For years it was believed there was no written record of the Baker-Gorbachev exchange at all, until the National Security Archive at George Washington University in December 2017 published a series of memos and cables about these assurances against NATO expansion eastward.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Schifrinson.PNG|right|350px|thumb|Gorbachev and Yeltsin agreed to collapsing the Soviet Union in exchange for a non-NATO expansion pledge. In 2021 NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg denied such agreements ever existed or discussions even took place.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rt.com/russia/544257-nato-boss-expansion-proposals/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“U.S. Secretary of State James Baker’s famous ‘not one inch eastward’ assurance about NATO expansion in his meeting with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev on February 9, 1990, was part of a cascade of assurances about Soviet security given by [[Western]] leaders to Gorbachev and other Soviet officials throughout the process of German unification in 1990 and on into 1991, according to declassified U.S., Soviet, German, British and French documents …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The documents show that multiple national leaders were considering and rejecting Central and Eastern European membership in NATO as of early 1990 and through 1991, that discussions of NATO in the context of German unification negotiations in 1990 were not at all narrowly limited to the status of [[East German]] territory, and that subsequent Soviet and Russian complaints about being misled about NATO expansion were founded in written contemporaneous memcons and telcons at the highest levels.  … The documents reinforce former CIA Director [[Robert Gates]]’s criticism of ‘pressing ahead with expansion of NATO eastward [in the 1990s], when Gorbachev and others were led to believe that wouldn’t happen.’ …&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
President [[George H.W. Bush]] had assured Gorbachev during the Malta summit in December 1989 that the U.S. would not take advantage (‘I have not jumped up and down on the [[Berlin Wall]]”) of the revolutions in Eastern Europe to harm Soviet interests.’”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2017-12-12/nato-expansion-what-gorbachev-heard-western-leaders-early&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The minutes of a March 6, 1991 meeting in [[Bonn]], [[West Germany]] between political directors of the foreign ministries of the US, UK, France, and Germany contain multiple references to “2+4” talks on German unification in which Western officials made it “clear” to the Soviet Union that NATO would not push into territory east of Germany. “We made it clear to the Soviet Union – in the 2+4 talks, as well as in other negotiations – that we do not intend to benefit from the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Eastern Europe,” the document in British foreign ministry archives quotes US Assistant Secretary of State for Europe and Canada Raymond Seitz.  “NATO should not expand to the east, either officially or unofficially,” Seitz added.  A British representative also mentions the existence of a “general agreement” that membership of NATO for [[eastern Europe]]an countries is “unacceptable.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/nato-osterweiterung-aktenfund-stuetzt-russische-version-a-1613d467-bd72-4f02-8e16-2cd6d3285295&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In May 1995 President [[Bill Clinton]] was invited to [[Moscow]] for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the victory over [[Hitler]].  In Moscow, Russian President [[Boris Yeltsin]] berated Clinton about NATO expansion, seeing “nothing but humiliation” for Russia: “For me to agree to the borders of NATO expanding towards those of Russia – that would constitute a betrayal on my part of the Russian people.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nsarchive.gwu.edu/briefing-book/russia-programs/2021-11-24/nato-expansion-budapest-blow-1994&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the Soviet Union collapsed depriving NATO of its original reason for existence, skeptics of the alliance included [[liberal]]s as much as [[conservative]]s.  In 1998, 10 Democratic Senators joined nine Republicans in opposing the first, fateful round of NATO enlargement with [[Hungary]], the [[Czech Republic]], and [[Poland]] added, extending the alliance to Russia's border.  Among the dissenters was Senator [[Paul Wellstone]] of Minnesota.  In between voting against the first Iraq war in 1991 and the second after Sept. 11, Sen. Wellstone warned that expanding NATO would jeopardize Europe's hard-won gains. “There is peace between states in Europe, between nations in Europe, for the first time in centuries,” he said. “We do not have a divided Europe, and I worry about a NATO expansion which could redivide Europe and again poison relations with Russia.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://quincyinst.org/2021/06/14/sorry-liberals-but-you-really-shouldnt-love-nato/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Vladimir Putin]] assumed office as the president of Russia on the last day of 1999.  In an interview with David Frost broadcast on the [[BBC]] on March 13, 2000, Putin expressed his desire to see Russia join NATO:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.gazeta.ru/2001/02/28/putin_i_bbc.shtml&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|'''Frost: Tell me about your views on NATO, if you would. Do you see NATO as a potential partner, or rival, or an enemy?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putin: Russia is a part of European culture. I simply cannot see my country isolated from Europe, from what we often describe as the civilized world. That is why it is hard for me to regard NATO as an enemy. I think that such a perception has nothing good in store for Russia and the rest of the world. ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We strive for equal cooperation, partnership, we believe that it is possible to speak even about higher levels of integration with NATO. But only, I repeat, if Russia is an equal partner. As you know, we constantly express our negative attitude to NATO's expansion to the East. ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
'''Frost: Is it possible that Russia will ever join NATO?'''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Putin: Why not? I do not rule out such a possibility. I repeat, on condition that Russia's interests are going to be taken into account, if Russia becomes a full-fledged partner. I want to specially emphasize this. ...&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When we say that we object to NATO's expansion to the East, we are not expressing any special ambitions of our own, ambitions in respect of some regions of the world. ... By the way, we have never declared any part of the world a zone of our national interests. Personally, I prefer to speak about strategic partnership. The zone of strategic interests of any particular region means first of all the interests of the people who live in that region. ...}}&lt;br /&gt;
Within hours after the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], Vladimir Putin was the first foreign leader to call President [[George W. Bush]] and offer sympathy and support for what became the first invocation of NATO Article V, &amp;quot;an attack against one is an attack against all.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://edition.cnn.com/2002/WORLD/europe/09/10/ar911.russia.putin/index.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Putin announced a five-point plan to support the [[war on terror]], pledging that the Russian government would (1) share intelligence with their American counterparts, (2) open Russian airspace for flights providing humanitarian assistance (3) cooperate with Russia's Central Asian allies in [[Uzbekistan]] and [[Kyrgyzstan]] to provide similar kinds of airspace access to American flights, (4) participate in international search and rescue efforts, and (5) increase direct assistance -humanitarian as well as military assistance—to the Afghan Northern Alliance.  The intelligence Putin shared, including data that helped American forces find their way around [[Kabul]] and logistical information about Afghanistan's topography and caves, contributed to the success of operation and rout of the Taliban.  Two weeks after the attacks, Putin was invited to make a speech to a Special Session of the Bundestag, the first ever by a Russian head of state to the German parliament.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/40168&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Among the numerous subjects Putin addressed in fluent German was peace and stability in the common European home:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;But what are we lacking today for cooperation to be efficient?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In spite of all the positive achievements of the past decades, we have not yet developed an efficient mechanism for working together.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The coordinating agencies set up so far do not offer Russia real opportunities for taking part in drafting and taking decision. Today decisions are often taken, in principle, without our participation, and we are only urged afterwards to support such decisions. After that they talk again about loyalty to NATO. They even say that such decisions cannot be implemented without Russia. Let us ask ourselves: is this normal? Is this true partnership?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yes, the assertion of [[democratic]] principles in international relations, the ability to find a correct decision and readiness for compromise are a difficult thing. But then, it was the Europeans who were the first to understand how important it is to look for consensus over and above national egoism. We agree with that! All these are good ideas. However, the quality of decisions that are taken, their efficiency and, ultimately, European and international security in general depend on the extent to which we succeed today in translating these obvious principles into practical politics.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It seemed just recently that a truly common home would shortly rise on the continent, a home in which the Europeans would not be divided into eastern or western, northern or southern. However, these divides will remain, primarily because we have never fully shed many of the Cold War stereotypes and cliches.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Today we must say once and for all: the Cold War is done with! We have entered a new stage of development. We understand that without a modern, sound and sustainable security architecture we will never be able to create an atmosphere of trust on the continent, and without that atmosphere of trust there can be no united Greater Europe! Today we must say that we renounce our stereotypes and ambitions and from now on will jointly work for the security of the people of Europe and the world as a whole.}}&lt;br /&gt;
In 2004 the Baltic states - [[Latvia]], [[Lithuania]], and [[Estonia]] joined NATO, setting up another common border between the Russian Federation and a NATO state.  Three years later, at the Munich Security Conference, Putin declared, “We have the right to ask: against whom is this [NATO] expansion intended? And what happened to the assurances our western partners made after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact? Where are those declarations today? No one even remembers them.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://aldeilis.net/english/putins-historical-speech-munich-conference-security-policy-2007/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In 2008 NATO said Ukraine and Georgia would become members.  Four other [[Eastern Europe]]an states joined NATO in 2009.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the February 2007 Munich Security Conference President Putin said.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I think it is obvious that NATO expansion does not have any relation with the modernization of the alliance itself or with ensuring security in Europe.

Nations aren't given a choice to join. They either join or the US removes the government and installs one that will.  Neither [[Sweden]] nor [[Finland]] face any threat from any nations, let alone Russia.  The Finns, however, remember the unprovoked Soviet invasion of 1939.  The Russians by contrast, recall the Finns along with their Nazi allies encirclement in the [[Siege of Leningrad]] wherein 1.2 million civilians starved to death.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=jt8QVm8dPaQC|title=The Legacy of the Siege of Leningrad, 1941–1995: Myth, Memories, and Monuments|last=Kirschenbaum|first=Lisa A.|publisher=Cambridge University Press|year=2006|isbn=9781139460651|pages=44|quote=The blockade began two days later when German and Finnish troops severed all land routes in and out of Leningrad.|url-status=live|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180225210446/https://books.google.ch/books?id=jt8QVm8dPaQC|archive-date=}}&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;

In 2011 NATO lent its name to [[Western]] [[globalist]]s to wage a war of aggression in [[Libya]] totally outside NATO's purview and mission.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://libertarianinstitute.org/articles/really-know-libyan-slave-trade/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As a direct consequence of NATO's illegal intervention, the black African slave trade was reborn in Africa.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://fair.org/home/media-nato-regime-change-war-libya-slave-markets/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
UN Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1973 of March 17, 2011 followed on the heels of Gaddafi's public threat on March 2, 2011, to throw western oil companies out of Libya, and his invitation on March 14 to Chinese, Russian, and Indian firms to produce Libyan oil in their place.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;''[http://english.ahram.org.eg/NewsContent/3/12/7661/Business/Economy/Gaddafi-offers-Libyan-oil-production-to-India,-Rus.aspx Gaddafi offers Libyan oil production to India, Russia, China,] Agence France-Presse, March 14, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; China, Russia, India and Brazil all abstained on UNSC Resolution 1973.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Resolution 1973 authorized strict limitations, according to international law, on NATO as the organization with responsibility for the implementation of the resolution. Particularly, it provided only for a naval blockade enforcing the arms embargo, and enforcement of a no-fly zone. On March 29, 2011, Russian envoy [[Dmitry Rogozin]] commented after a meeting with NATO officials in [[Brussels, Belgium]], that Russia expressed deep concern over the interpretation of the Security Council's resolution, as some countries have effectively turned it into an approval for ground operations.&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|[[Moscow]] has many questions about how the UN Security Council’s resolution is being carried out...First of all, there are reports that civilians have been killed in the air strikes. This is odd if you consider the message of the resolution, which says that the foreign forces’ actions should protect civilians. So it’s hard to comprehend how you can protect civilians by killing them....we demanded that the UN Security Council be fully informed about the actions of the alliance in Libya at all times...  We have reports of air strikes against convoys far from the front line. This is a far cry from the UN Security Council resolution.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://rt.com/news/coalition-libya-nato-russian-envoy/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The French and the British described plans for a wargames exercise for an attack on Libya in November 2010, in the end they used those military assets that had been mobilized for the real thing 3 months ago. NATO doesn't just go and bomb a country over night, these things are planned far in advance, and in this case there is conclusive evidence that there have been plans for this for many many years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://lizziesliberation.wordpress.com/2011/06/04/letter-from-libya-to-a-close-friend/ Letter from Libya to a close friend] June 4, 2011.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite France taking the lead role in the intervention, the Congressional Research Service reports, &amp;quot;Only the United States and NATO possess the command and control capabilities necessary for coalition operations enforcing the no-fly zone over Libya.&amp;quot; France only recently rejoined the NATO alliance, in 2008, after a 40-year absence. The Congressional Research Service, which analyzes information and prepares reports for members of Congress, also states,&lt;br /&gt;
{{Cquote|In spite of statements underscoring NATO unity on steps announced to date, the initial planning and operational phases were also marked by significant levels of discord within Europe and [[NATO]] on the aims and future direction of the mission. A key point of contention was reportedly the amount of flexibility that NATO forces would be granted to protect civilians and civilian areas, as called for in paragraph 4 of UNSCR 1973. Reports indicate that French officials insisted on maintaining the ability to strike ground forces that threatened civilian areas, while their [[Turkish]] counterparts vocally opposed any targeting of ground forces. Adding to the strain within NATO, NATO ally [[Germany]] abstained from UNSCR 1973 and, opposed to any potential [[combat]] operation, on March 23, withdrew its naval assets in the [[Mediterranean]] from NATO command. Throughout the first week of operations, other European allies contributing to the mission, including Italy and Norway, expressed increasing frustration with the lack of agreement within NATO, with Norway refusing to deploy its fighter jets unless under they were under NATO command and control.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Operation Odyssey Dawn (Libya):&lt;br /&gt;

Of Nato's 28 members, 14 are said to be &amp;quot;actively participating,&amp;quot; but only 6 have provided military support. Of the 22-country [[Arab League]], whose appeal prompted the United Nations to vote on intervention, only [[Qatar]] and the [[United Arab Emirates]] are involved. Of the 192 members of the [[UN General Assembly]], who all have a legal &amp;quot;responsibility to protect&amp;quot; civilians attacked by their own governments, only [[Sweden]] has responded.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2011/apr/19/libya-mission-military-advisory-team&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO planes and ships began striking cities and military installations in Libya in mid-March, 2011. Allied military officials have spoke of the need for escalation to help protect Libyan civilians and called for Gaddafi to step down. Libyan officials said that NATO is picked sides in a civil war and complained that strikes on Gaddafi's Tripoli compound were attempts to assassinate the leader of a sovereign country. NATO launched its largest airstrike against Moammar Gaddafi's regime on May 24, 2011, with at least 15 massive explosions rocking the Libyan capital. [https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/french-officials-france-and-britain-to-use-attack-helicopters-in-libya/2011/05/23/AFTF909G_story.html?hpid=z2]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On May 15, two months into the NATO bombing campaign against loyal Gaddafi's forces, Britain's top military commander said that the Libyan leader could remain “clinging to power” unless NATO broadened its bombing targets to include the country's infrastructure.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://topics.nytimes.com/top/news/international/countriesandterritories/libya/index.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On Jun 18, 2011 Prime minister of Libya Al-Baghdadi al-Mahmoudi accused NATO of a &amp;quot;new level of aggression&amp;quot; over the past 72 hours in which he said the military alliance intentionally targeted civilian buildings, including a hotel and a university. &amp;quot;It has become clear to us that NATO has moved on to deliberately hitting civilian buildings. ... This is a crime against humanity,&amp;quot; he told reporters in the capital.

====Biden regime extends aggression====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Biden Libya.jpg|right|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2010 and 2011 the [[Hillary Clinton]] [[State Department]], working with NATO allies (particularly France), triggered a crisis in Libya during the Obama administration’s intentional effort to remove [[Muammar Gaddafi]] from power.  This was a key element to the [[Arab Spring]] ([[Islamist Spring]] or [[Color Revolution]]) that flowed from the [[Cairo]], [[Egypt]], speech of President Obama a year prior.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hillary Clinton, [[Susan Rice]] and [[Samantha Power]] ([[R2P]]) were the architects of the destabilization plan.  After the country was destabilized and thrown into severe violent crisis by the U.S. support for radical Islamists in eastern Libya ([[Benghazi]] region), President Obama then signed (Feb, 2011) a national emergency declaration in regard to the destabilized [[Libya]] his administration created.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Five years later, in April 2016, President Obama expanded the Libya emergency declaration to extend the 2011 declaration and envelop a larger portion of [[North Africa]], under the auspices of expanded threats from [[AQIM]] (al-Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb).  This extension allowed the state dept to frame actions in neighboring Egypt, and block any effort to counteract Obama’s mid-east policy which was established to support the [[Muslim Brotherhood]].   In April 2016 it was presumed Hillary Clinton would win the election and continue the policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A full twelve years after Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton destabilized Libya throwing it into a tribal civil war, Joe Biden signs an executive order continuing the extension of the U.S. National Emergency with regard to Libya:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2023/02/17/it-never-ends-joe-biden-extends-2011-national-security-emergency-over-libya-through-2023/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
:''[…] “The situation in Libya continues to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States, and measures are needed to protect against the diversion of assets or other abuses by members of Qadhafi’s family, their associates, and other persons hindering Libyan national reconciliation.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''For this reason, the national emergency declared on February 25, 2011, and expanded on April 19, 2016, must continue in effect beyond February 25, 2023.  Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13566.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:KabulHasFallen.png|right|250px|thumb]]&lt;br /&gt;
NATO began to look for its new goal in the 21 century. After the attacks on the [[World Trade Centers]] and [[The Pentagon|Pentagon]] on September 11, 2001, NATO countries quickly responded by aiding the United States, as they had promised in Article Five of their founding treaty. AWACS airplanes were sent on surveillance, and NATO began its first and only article five mission to this day, Operation Active Endeavor, which was a Maritime mission to protect the Mediterranean from terrorist operations and drug and WMD trafficking. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the end of the [[Cold War]], European defense spending had weakened and its military lacked technology and modernization.  In 2002, NATO met for its annual summit, which was held in [[Prague]]. The 19 country alliance made a list of improvements that its members needed to make in order to effectively fight the war on terror, these improvements called for, among other thing, a NATO Military Concept for Defense against Terrorism.  NATO members also took steps to modernize there forces, all 19 countries agreed to spend at least 2% of their GDP on defense. NATO also agreed on its new focus, terrorism. As  Spain's former prime minister José María Aznar, said, “[[Jihad]]ism has replaced Communism, as Communism replaced Nazism, as an existential threat to the liberal democracies.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO took command and co-ordination of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in August 2003. When NATO and some non-member states joined (such as [[Australia]] and [[Japan]]), the initial mission was limited to [[Kabul]], but soon expanded. In 2006, when NATO took over full command over the Afghanistan operation, the [[Taliban]] began a major campaign. Commanders complained that their forces were being restricted by national restrictions, and that they needed more troops. In November 2006, at another NATO summit in [[Riga]], NATO countries removed 15% of restrictions placed on troops. NATO called on member governments to provide more troops to their mission in Afghanistan, but several countries had their resources stretched thin in Kosovo, as well as their mission in [[Iraq]] of training the new Iraqi government's security force.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The ''Financial Times'' wrote:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.is/JNSAP Nato allies urge rethink on alliance after Biden’s ‘unilateral’ Afghanistan exit], ''Financial Times'', Helen Warrell in London, Guy Chazan in Berlin and Richard Milne in Stockholm AUGUST 17 2021.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;After the [[fall of Kabul]], EU defence and security officials have been strikingly critical of the US decision to send home its troops, arguing it has weakened Nato and raised questions about Europe’s security dependence on Washington.&amp;quot;}} &lt;br /&gt;
Lord Peter Ricketts, the [[UK]]’s former national security adviser, said. “It looks like Nato has been completely overtaken by American unilateral decisions...The Afghanistan operation was always going to end some time, it was never going to go on forever, but the manner in which it’s been done has been humiliating and damaging to Nato.”&lt;br /&gt;

The mission in [[Kosovo]] did not go as well as planned. After the air strikes, havoc reigned over [[Kosovo]], abuses continued and human rights organizations listed abuses committed by the Alliance members during the campaign. In an attempt to solve the violence, NATO countries and the [[United Nations]] took on a mission to stabilize and reconstruct the country. The NATO intervention was illegal, destructive, and based on fraudulent claims.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&amp;amp;aid=1666 The U.S.-NATO Military Intervention in Kosovo.]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

According to the US Department of Defense's Law of War Manual which points out that “attacks that are otherwise lawful are “not rendered unlawful if they happen to result in diminished civilian morale.”  It then cites with approval a 2002 commentary about NATO's war on Serbia from a former DoD General Counsel regarding the strikes on Serbian electrical infrastructure: “I will readily admit that, aside from directly damaging the military electrical power infrastructure, NATO wanted the civilian population to experience discomfort, so that the population would pressure Milosevic and the Serbian leadership.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://sites.duke.edu/lawfire/2022/10/27/is-attacking-the-electricity-infrastructure-used-by-civilians-always-a-war-crime/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
NATO Spokesman James Shea justifying NATO's systemic attacks on Serbian electrical and water infrastructure: “Yes, I'm afraid electricity also drives command and control systems. If President Milosevic really wants all of his population to have water and electricity all he has to do is accept NATO's five conditions and we will stop this campaign. But as long as he doesn't do so we will continue to attack those targets which provide the electricity for his armed forces. If that has civilian consequences, it's for him to deal with…”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nato.int/kosovo/press/p990525b.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Apartment building burns in Belgrade 1999 after NATO air raids on power grid in Serbia..jpg|thumb|left|250px|Apartment building burns in Belgrade in 1999. The building caught fire as residents were cooking with firewood during a power blackout after NATO air raids on power grid in Serbia.]]&lt;br /&gt;
On May 25, 1999 ''[[The Washington Post]]'' reported, ''NATO Warplanes Jolt Yugoslav Power Grid''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/inatl/longterm/balkans/stories/belgrade052599.htm NATO Warplanes Jolt Yugoslav Power Grid], By Philip Bennett and Steve Coll, Washington Post, May 25, 1999.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
According to Professor Robert Hayden from the University of Pittsburgh:&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
::&amp;quot;NATO's attacks have been aimed against civilian targets since literally the first night of the bombing, when a tractor factory in the Belgrade suburb of Rakovica was destroyed by cruise missiles. Since then NATO targets have included roads, railroad tracks and bridges hundreds of miles from Kosovo, power plants, factories of many kinds, food processing and sugar processing plants, water pumping stations, cigarette factories, central heating plants for civilian apartment blocks, television studios, post offices, non-military government administrative buildings, ski resorts, government official residences, oil refineries, civilian airports, gas stations, and chemical plants. NATO's strategy is not to attack Yugoslavia's army directly, but rather to destroy Yugoslavia itself, in order to weaken the army. With this strategy it is military losses that are &amp;quot;collateral damage,&amp;quot; because most of the attacks are aimed at civilian targets.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The level of damage done to clearly non-military infrastructural targets in [[Serbia]] would seem to render NATO military commanders and at least some NATO political leaders liable to the same charge that was made against Ratko Mladi and Radovan Karadi by the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia (ICTY), &amp;quot;extensive destruction of property:&amp;quot; that they&lt;br /&gt;
individually and in concert with others planned, instigated, ordered or otherwise aided and abetted in the planning, preparation or execution of the extensive, wanton and unlawful destruction of ... property, not justified by military necessity or knew or had reason to know that subordinates were about to destroy or permit others to destroy ... property or had done so and failed to take necessary and reasonable measures to prevent this destruction or to punish the perpetrators thereof.&amp;quot; &lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The war supposedly in defense of human rights has produced war crimes by NATO, and a civilian casualty rate that is at least three time higher than the casualty rate of the &amp;quot;intolerable&amp;quot; violations of human rights that NATO was supposedly acting to correct.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://jurist.law.pitt.edu/hayden.htm Humanitarian Hypocrisy.] University of Pittsburgh.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

'''Dr. Angela Dorothea Merkel''' (born July 17, 1954) was elected in March 2018 to her fourth term as the chancellor of [[Germany]], the top position for a broad coalition government. From 2000 to 2018 she was also the leader of the German [[Christian Democratic Union]] (CDU), historically Germany's conservative party. She has served as the chancellor of Germany since 2005, a position comparable to prime minister. She is a champion of the euro and of the mass migration of Middle Eastern and North African refugees to Europe.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Milton Friedman detailed the disadvantages of the euro in &amp;quot;[https://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/the-euro--monetary-unity-to-political-disunity The Euro: Monetary Unity To Political Disunity?]&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Early life==&lt;br /&gt;
Angela Dorthea Kasner Merkel was born in [[Hamburg]] but three years later he family moved to Templin, Brandenburg in [[East Germany]]. Her father, Horst Kasner, was a Protestant pastor who had studied Theology at Heidelberg University. Her mother, Herlind, was an English and Latin teacher. The Kasner family was increased when Angela's brother Marcus was born in 1957 and her sister Irene in 1964.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Career==&lt;br /&gt;
Merkel grew up in the Communist [[East Germany]] just outside Berlin.  Merkel was educated in Templin and at the University of Leipzig, where she studied physics (1973-1978).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
She worked and studied at the Central Institute for Physical Chemistry of the Academy of Sciences (1978–1990). After graduating with a doctorate in physics working in quantum chemistry. In 1989 she became involved in the growing [[democracy]] movement and, after the fall of the [[Berlin Wall]], she got a job as government spokesperson following the first democratic elections.  She joined the CDU two months before German reunification and within three months she was in [[Helmut Kohl]]'s cabinet as minister for women and youth. In 1994 she was made minister for the environment. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Her East German background has stood her in good stead. For the first 36 years of her life, she honed her skills at covering up or suppressing her feelings—essential in a society where practically every room contained a [[Stasi]] informer, especially if you were a pastor's daughter. Speaking near perfect English and remarking on her background as an Ossi she says, &amp;quot;Anyone who really has something to say doesn't need make-up&amp;quot;.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==German chancellor==&lt;br /&gt;
===2005 election===&lt;br /&gt;
Merkel was first elected as chancellor of Germany in 2005. She ruled together with the left-center [[SPD]] until 2009.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/germany/10518099/Germanys-Social-Democrats-vote-to-form-grand-coalition-with-Angela-Merkel.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2009 election===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Germ-vote-2009.jpg|300px|thumb|Exit polls from Sept. 2009 election won by the conservative coalition CDU and FDP]]&lt;br /&gt;
The September 2009 election was a major win for the right-of-center forces led by Chancellor Merkel, breaking a stalemate and opening the way for more conservative economic policies. Previously since an indecisive election in 2005 the center-right [[Christian Democratic Union|Christian Democrats]] formed a &amp;quot;grand coalition&amp;quot; with the center-left Social Democrats, headed by Frank-Walter Steinmeier. 2009 Merkel and her CDU formed a coalition with the liberal [[Free Democratic Party|Free Democrats]]. Left in the cold was the [[Alliance '90/The Greens|Greens]], and the ex-Communists who remain strong under the name &amp;quot;[[The Left]].&amp;quot; Merkel moved forward on tax cuts, reform of the tax code, reduction of bureaucracy and an extension of the time that nuclear power plants can continue to operate. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The victory enhanced her reputation as Europe's top political power broker, as Merkel became the first leader of a major European country to win re-election since the [[Recession of 2008|global financial crisis]] struck the previous year. Voters generally approved of her response to the recession, even though it hammered Germany's export-dependent economy and resulted in a huge amount of public debt. She countered criticism by blaming the crisis on [[Wall Street]] and engaging in a modest stimulus program.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Craig Whitlock, &amp;quot;Germany's Merkel Reelected Easily, Will Form New Coalition,&amp;quot; [https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/09/27/AR2009092700631.html?nav=emailpage ''Washington Post'' Sept. 28, 2009]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2013 election===&lt;br /&gt;
In the 2013 election, the CDU remained Germany's strongest party, but its ally the [[Free Democratic Party|FDP]] lost the election and left the parliament.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://bigstory.ap.org/article/merkel-bidding-3rd-term-german-election&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Thus, the CDU created a &amp;quot;grand coalition&amp;quot; with the SPD again.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/world/2013/11/27/merkel-conservatives-center-left-rivals-reach-deal-to-form-new-german/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The vice chancellor is Sigmar Gabriel, the chairman of the [[SPD]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://cnsnews.com/news/article/merkel-backs-plans-stem-energy-cost-rises&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===2017 election===&lt;br /&gt;
In a campaign described as &amp;quot;boring&amp;quot;, Merkel saw a challenge by the SPD's left-wing [[Martin Schulz]], the former president of the [[European Parliament]]. Merkel was seen by some commentators to have subtly tacked towards the right on some policies such as migration and [[Turkey]]'s accession to the EU – two issues she formerly was wholeheartedly in support of. In the election, the right-wing conservative [[Alternative for Germany]] entered the Bundestag after taking a historic third place with nearly 13% of the vote, while Merkel's CDU received its worst result since 1949.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Multiple references:&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
===Policies===&lt;br /&gt;
Merkel supports [[liberal]] and [[Globalism|globalist]] policies. She allowed her party members a free vote for legalizing [[same-sex &amp;quot;marriage&amp;quot;]]. In June 2017, the German parliament voted for legalizing it, including some MPs from Merkel's party, although she herself voted against it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/angela-merkel-same-sex-marriage-vote-germany-legalisation-lgbt-rights-christian-democrat-man-woman-a7815846.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Her nation harshly opposes [[homeschooling]]. She supports the socialist and globalist [[European Union]] and open borders. Her left-wing policies contributed significantly to the [[European migrant crisis]].

Merkel fears that the European Union has failed to define its common interests &amp;quot;for the (commercial) battles of the future&amp;quot; now Europe's cold war priorities of keeping &amp;quot;peace and freedom&amp;quot; have been achieved. &amp;quot;This is where I think Europe needs to learn a lot, not to concentrate too much on whether bicycle paths are built the same way in Portugal and north-west Germany.&amp;quot; Domestically, Merkel recognizes the need for change in the country's consensual model. &amp;quot;In Germany, we are always facing the danger that we are a little bit too slow. We have to speed up our changes.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Migration policy====&lt;br /&gt;
Because of Merkel's [[open borders]] policies, more than 2.5 million refugees and migrants have flooded into Germany from outside Europe, migrants who do not share a common European heritage with their host country. In 2015 alone, Germany was invaded by nearly one million non-Western immigrants,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[http://www.nationalgeographic.com/magazine/2016/10/europe-immigration-muslim-refugees-portraits/ The New Europeans], Robert Kunzig, ''National Geographic'', October 2016&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; more than double the size of Germany's standing and reserve military force.

{{Quotebox-float|&amp;quot;We know that the [[Trump administration]] is in a trade war with us, so why can’t we fix the Trump administration? Why did China and the US used to be able to settle all kinds of issues between 1992 and 2016?  I’m going to throw out something maybe a little bit explosive here. It’s just because we have people at the top. We have our old friends who are at the top of America’s core inner circle of power and influence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
During the US-China trade war, [[Wall Street]] tried to help, and I know that my friends on the US side told me that they tried to help, but they couldn’t do much. But now we’re seeing Biden was elected, the traditional elite, the political elite, the [[establishment]], they’re very close to Wall Street, so you see that, right?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Trump has been saying that Biden’s son has [[Bohai Harvest RST|some sort of global foundation]]. Have you noticed that? Who helped [Hunter] build the foundations? Got it?

In April 2020 Chinese business websites showed Hunter Biden’s name removed from the BHR board of directors, however the sites also show Skaneateles LLC, owned solely by Hunter Biden, as still being a “sponsor/shareholder” with 3 million yuan ($464,000) invested in the company, comprising a 10% stake in the China-based business venture. The business records for Skaneateles found on the Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs website list Hunter Biden as the “executing officer” of the company, and the address for the LLC is a multimillion-dollar home in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/hVgaU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; That is where the ''Washington Examiner'' previously reported Hunter Biden and his wife, Melissa Cohen, had been renting a $12,000-a-month home.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/hunter-biden-renting-12-000-per-month-hollywood-home-while-defying-child-support-suit&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of the companies in BHR’s portfolio as of August 30, 2021, Joe Biden's target date for the withdrawal from Afghanistan, is Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL),&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tracxn.com/d/private-equity/bhr/AqYaQZwpCM9_bWngRtAEWb3D0qIHitqyE0ObxZ649Ig&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the “world’s largest maker of electric vehicle batteries.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/wzhmr&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
China dominates the world’s production of lithium-ion batteries used in electric vehicles and most portable consumer electronic devices such as cell phones and laptops.  China accounts for 80 percent of the world’s total output of raw materials for advanced batteries.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.voanews.com/silicon-valley-technology/how-china-dominates-global-battery-supply-chain&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  If Joe Biden were to implement his “clean energy” plans, the United States would become dependent on China to produce the batteries that power America’s technologies.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.americanenergyalliance.org/2020/09/bidens-green-dream-made-in-china/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  CATL is the largest manufacturer of electric vehicle batteries with a 27.9 percent market share.  Since Biden's green agenda came to the fore in November 2020, and the August 31, 2021 Fall of Kabul, CATL's stock price tripled.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://cdn.substack.com/image/fetch/w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fbucketeer-e05bbc84-baa3-437e-9518-adb32be77984.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fa189b059-c867-4a68-a7f8-d6e04dd23558_712x514.jpeg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On August 28, 2021 ''[[Forbes]]'' magazine reported, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;the mineral resources under the ground in Afghanistan could be worth almost 10 times the country’s infamous [[opium]] crop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These minerals include [[lithium]], gold, silver, platinum, iron, copper aluminum and uranium. Among those lithium stands out as a real prize because it has become essential to the manufacture of the lithium ion batteries used in electric vehicles.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Better still for China, if it gets its way, is that Afghanistan is set to be the Saudi Arabia of Afghanistan. In other words, the central Asian country is reputedly home to heaps of lithium. As the largest car market in the world, and the global move to EVs [electric vehicles], China will likely want to secure every last pound of lithium that it can.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/wip/y95my&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to the Chinese state media ''Global Times'', on June 28, 2021 a deal between CATL and [[Tesla Motors]] was announced;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.globaltimes.cn/page/202106/1227312.shtml#:~:text=China%20is%20the%20largest%20manufacturer,%2C%20BMW%2C%20Volkswagen%20and%20Geely.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  four days later the [[AP]] reported that the US abandoned Bagram airfield at on the middle of the night without telling the new Afghan armed forces commander.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://apnews.com/article/bagram-afghanistan-airfield-us-troops-f3614828364f567593251aaaa167e623&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

In face of 2022 eliminating Palestinian Islamic-jihadi ([[PIJ]]) terrorists&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.fdd.org/in_the_news/2022/08/05/israel-targets-pij-commander-in-gaza/ Israel Targets Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Commander in Gaza], ''FDD'', Aug 5, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font size=1&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Latest Developments: &lt;br /&gt;
An Israeli strike has killed Taysir al-Jabari, the Gaza commander of Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), which the U.S. Department of State designated as a Foreign Terrorist Organization (FTO) in 1997. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said Jabari “was responsible for multiple terrorist attacks against Israeli civilians.”&lt;br /&gt;
PIJ had threatened to attack Israeli targets after the arrest earlier this week of senior PIJ figure Bassam al-Saadi. Israel’s internal security service, Shabak, said Saadi was the PIJ leader in the West Bank and was behind the “building of a significant military force.” Shabak added that Saadi “was a significant factor in the radicalization of the organization’s operatives in the field.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
PIJ Profile: &lt;br /&gt;
Founded in 1981, PIJ is the second-largest militant group in Gaza after Hamas. In the 1990s and again during the Second Intifada from 2000 to 2005, PIJ targeted Israeli civilians with suicide bombings, including the Netanya mall bombing in December 2005, which killed five Israelis and wounded fifty.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Dependent on Iran: &lt;br /&gt;
PIJ is the Palestinian militant group closest to Iran, on which it depends for financial and military support. Thanks to Iran, PIJ in Gaza has acquired military-grade weapons that range from small arms to man-portable air-defense systems (MANPADS), rockets, anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs), and explosive-laden unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). PIJ fighters have also trained inside Iran.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Remotely Led: &lt;br /&gt;
PIJ has a local leadership structure in Gaza, although its senior leaders reside in Syria, Lebanon, and other countries in the region. Unlike Hamas, PIJ does not compete in elections, employ civilian front organizations, or govern any part of Gaza. When weighing the risks of attacking Israel, it therefore has less need to consider the impact of a potential military response. Ziyad al-Nakhlaheh, Khaled al-Batsh, Hader Adnan, and Muhammed al-Hindi are among PIJ’s most visible leaders and spokesmen.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Independent from Hamas: &lt;br /&gt;
Despite PIJ’s cooperation with Hamas, which also has close ties to Iran, PIJ has launched attacks on Israel at times when Hamas would have preferred not to escalate. These attacks seek to demonstrate that PIJ is the most militant organization in Gaza and can act independently.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
History of Clashes with IDF: &lt;br /&gt;
In November 2019, an IDF strike killed Jabari’s predecessor, Bahaa Abu al-Atta, resulting in several days of clashes between PIJ and the IDF. In February 2020, the IDF conducted strikes against PIJ militant infrastructure in both the Gaza Strip and Syria.&lt;br /&gt;
There has been a sharp increase in PIJ casualties over the last year and half, with numerous militants killed during engagements with Israeli personnel during counter-terrorism operations. Coupled with the establishment of PIJ fighting units, or “katibat,” in several West Bank cities, the increase in violence suggests an organized PIJ effort to expand its military capabilities in the West Bank.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expert Analysis from FDD’s Joe Truzman: “Israel likely felt an attack by Palestinian Islamic Jihad was imminent and reacted first. The history of conflict with the PIJ suggests a high likelihood of an armed response in the coming days by PIJ and the other militant groups that belong to Palestinian Joint Operations Room, including Hamas.”&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and Jihadists failed launched rockets,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mariella Marsden, [https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-714165 Islamic Jihad rockets killed more civilians in Gaza than IDF airstrikes], ''JPost'', Aug 8, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;

More innocent people in Gaza were killed by failed Islamic Jihad rockets than by Israeli airstrikes during Operation Breaking Dawn, according to a briefing by the commander of the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit Brig.-Gen. Ran Kochav.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Operation Breaking Dawn lasted for 66 hours in which the IDF struck 170 targets, killing several high-ranking Islamic Jihad operatives and destroying much of the terrorist organization’s military capabilities, terrorist attack tunnels and weapon storage facilities. For its final action on Sunday night, the IDF destroyed three warehouses storing a variety of weapons.&lt;br /&gt;

&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The president has two faces. Here's one paragraph:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''My support for Israel’s security is long-standing and unwavering—including its right to defend itself against attacks.  Over these recent days, Israel has defended its people from indiscriminate rocket attacks launched by the terrorist group Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and the United States is proud of our support for Israel’s Iron-Dome, which intercepted hundreds of rockets and saved countless lives.  I commend Prime Minister Yair Lapid and his government’s steady leadership throughout the crisis.''&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Here's the next one:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The reports of civilian casualties in Gaza are a tragedy, whether by Israeli strikes against Islamic Jihad positions or the dozens of Islamic Jihad rockets that reportedly fell inside Gaza.  My Administration supports a timely and thorough investigation into all of these reports, and we also call on all parties to fully implement the ceasefire, and to ensure fuel and humanitarian supplies are flowing into Gaza as the fighting subsides.''&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Per October (1-19), 2021 poll, Biden support has dropped sharply among independent voters. The non-improvement, Gallup attributes to recent setbacks such as the infrastructure bill debate and issues such as inflation and worker shortages.&amp;lt;ref name=nypost22oct2021&amp;gt;Patrick Reilly, &amp;quot;[https://nypost.com/2021/10/22/biden-support-has-dropped-sharply-among-independent-voters-poll-finds/ Biden support has dropped sharply among independent voters, poll finds]&amp;quot;, &lt;br /&gt;
NYPost, October 22, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The data, taken from Oct. 1-19, suggests no improvement in public support, which Gallup attributes to recent setbacks such as the infrastructure bill debate and issues such as inflation and worker shortages....&lt;br /&gt;
Gallup said the 11-point decline is larger than any prior president registered between his first and third quarters. Next closest are President Barack Obama at 10 points and Bill Clinton at seven points.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
Though Biden administration officials, in 2021, called high inflation “transitory.” But Biden on at least one occasion acknowledged the possible impact of generous social spending.&lt;br /&gt;
By Feb 2022, Biden, reluctantly admitted: &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;S Nelson, [https://nypost.com/2022/02/04/joe-biden-admits-americans-are-being-clobbered-by-inflation/amp/ Joe Biden admits that Americans are being 'clobbered' by inflation], Feb 4, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;Americans are being 'clobbered' by inflation.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

''Breitbart'', 03/10/2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
President Joe Biden on Thursday reacted to the latest report showing soaring inflation numbers for February by blaming Russian President Vladimir Putin.&lt;br /&gt;
“[T]oday’s inflation report is a reminder that Americans’ budgets are being stretched by price increases and families are starting to feel the impacts of Putin’s price hike,” the White House said in a statement sent to reporters in Biden’s name.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

On inflation: 'How long do you guys think temporary is?'&lt;br /&gt;
Fox News White House Correspondent Peter Doocy cornered Press Secretary Jen Psaki on both her claims that inflation was likely to be temporary and the Biden administration’s repeated insistence that the rising cost of gas could be tied solely to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. Doocy pointed to Psaki’s claim, made a short time earlier in Thursday’s White House press briefing, that economists were predicting that inflation would begin to resolve by the end of the year — and he noted that the Biden administration had been claiming that inflation would be “transitory” or “temporary” since spring of 2021, only to reach record levels at the end of the year.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

BHR Partner’s [[LinkedIn]] profile highlights its Sinopec investment, revealing it was involved “in the pilot state-owned enterprise reform deal involving the segregation and capitalization of Sinopec Group’s non-oil business into Sinopec Marketing Corporation.” As of October 2021, Hunter Biden reportedly still owned a 10 percent stake in BHR Partners.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/exclusive/biden-linked-energy-firm-hits-record-level-production/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Weeks before the start of a midterm election year, President Joe Biden finds his approval falling across several top issues, a new poll found.&lt;br /&gt;
Biden’s job approval rating has been underwater since August, and an ABC News-Ipsos poll released Sunday showed public opinion is down when it comes to his handling of the pandemic, economic recovery and crime.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

President Joe Biden's overall disapproval rating reached a new high in December as more voters signaled their unhappiness with his handling of the economy and the Covid pandemic.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Results from a CNBC/Change Research poll show 60% of respondents said they disapprove of Biden's handling of the economy as he nears the conclusion of his first year in office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A 55% majority of survey respondents also signaled disapproval of his leadership during the pandemic, an area in which he previously excelled.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

And Biden's approval on the economy is, well, dismal.&lt;br /&gt;
Just 1 in 3 Americans (34%) approved of how Biden was handling the economy in the Quinnipiac poll, with 58% disapproving. (That same poll had Biden roughly even -- 44% approve, 45% disapprove -- in terms of how he is handling the conflict in Ukraine.)&lt;br /&gt;
The math is simple then. Americans care far more about inflationary costs in their own lives than they do about Russia's invasion of Ukraine. And on that issue, they don't think Biden is doing a very good job.&lt;br /&gt;
The news doesn't look likely to improve for Biden -- at least in the near term.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and that &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;the news doesn't look likely to improve for Biden -- at least in the near term.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Why it matters: Moderate and progressive Democrats, particularly in the House, are fearful of an electoral tsunami this November. They tell Axios they're unsure whether the party can repair the damage in time.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;People are extremely discouraged, there's no doubt,&amp;quot; said Rep. Annie Kuster (D-N.H.), a moderate and leading member of the New Democrat Coalition.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Kuster was among the NDC members who met with President Biden on Wednesday and urged the administration to take action on supply chain and inflation issues, gas prices and a budget reconciliation bill. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Rep. Susan Wild (D-Pa.), a swing-district member, told Axios's Andrew Solender the poll gives credence to her distancing herself from Biden: &amp;quot;It’s always a concern when the president's numbers are bad and you're in the same party.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In my district, and I think in most frontline districts, you win your campaign because people know you know what work you've done, … and they also know that I don't always vote in line with the party.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; reported that &amp;quot;Dems air anxieties after Biden's brutal NBC poll.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;

During the honeymoon phase of Biden's presidency, spanning January 2021 through June of that year, an average of 56% of Americans approved of how he was handling his job as president.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The first obvious decline in Biden's approval occurred in July and August 2021, when 49% of Americans, on average, approved.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

President Biden has been mired in a stretch of disappointing polls, but recent surveys suggest he’s having particular trouble keeping the support of Hispanic voters.&lt;br /&gt;
A Quinnipiac University poll published this week found that just 26 percent of Hispanic voters surveyed approved of Biden’s job performance, the lowest mark of any demographic group.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

But the survey doesn’t show a significant improvement in the president’s standing, with 42% of registered voters approving of Biden’s job performance and 55% disapproving.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; (The same as in Oct 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
https://www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/ncna1282781&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Vilifying half of Americans===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden, in his Jan 2022 speech, uttered angry gaslighting calling half of America 'racist' - for defending voting verification, ID. In addition, the White House, later on, still tripled down defending this.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Spencer Brown, [https://townhall.com/tipsheet/spencerbrown/2022/01/18/psaki-12pm-n2601995 Psaki Triples Down Defending Biden's Angry Gaslighting Calling Half of America 'Racist'], ''Townhall'', Jan 18, 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The White House apparently didn't have enough foresight to realize that a presidential address last week in which Biden attacked roughly half the country for being on the side of historical racists wouldn't play well. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Shocker: comparing more than half the United States Senate to Jefferson Davis is not a recipe for unity. Despite days of stinging criticism for the speech that was labeled a &amp;quot;break point&amp;quot; for the Biden administration by Peggy Noonan, the White House is maintaining Biden's divisive rant was totally normal...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Empty catchphrases===&lt;br /&gt;
Biden rolled out a catchphrase trying to negatively characterize the GOP as &amp;quot;ultra-MAGA, referring to former President Donald Trump's &amp;quot;Make America Great Again&amp;quot; slogan. &lt;br /&gt;
It was later revealed that the label was the result of a six-month, liberal-funded focus group research project.&lt;br /&gt;
His spokesperson, [[Karine Jean-Pierre]], talked and talked (Aug/2022) but couldn't explain &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Biden's 'semi-fascism' jab against GOP,'&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; of course.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Joseph A.

Earlier this year, President Biden rolled out a catchphrase trying to negatively characterize the GOP as &amp;quot;ultra-MAGA, referring to former President Donald Trump's &amp;quot;Make America Great Again&amp;quot; slogan. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
It was later revealed that the label was the result of a six-month, liberal-funded focus group research project.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Rising crime===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden is rated poorly on handling crime.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/biden-rated-poorly-handling-crime-alternative-approaches-win/story?id=78609540 Biden is rated poorly on handling crime], ABC News, Jul 2, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The only &amp;quot;good news,&amp;quot; state commentators:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.heritage.org/homeland-security/commentary/bidens-hypocritical-efforts-stem-the-wave-violent-crime-fall-far-short Biden’s Hypocritical Efforts to Stem the Wave of Violent Crime Fall Far Short | The Heritage Foundation], Heritage Foundation, June 25, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;There's good news, and there’s bad news.&lt;br /&gt;
The good news (which really is also bad news) is that the Biden administration has finally been forced to acknowledge and admit that the surge in violent crime—especially the surge in homicides in many cities—is a problem.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Yet, &amp;quot;it's COVID-19 and guns,&amp;quot; not President Joe Biden's policies, that are causing widespread looting and soaring crime rates, insisted&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's spokesperson in Dec 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Naomi Lim, [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/white-house/white-house-blames-pandemic-and-guns-for-increased-crime White House blames pandemic and guns for increased crime], Washington Examiner, Dec 2, 2021.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It's COVID-19 and guns, not President Joe Biden's policies, that are causing widespread looting and soaring crime rates, the White House insisted Thursday.&lt;br /&gt;
Biden believes the crime increase is correlated to the frustration and economic hardship caused by COVID-19, according to White House press secretary Jen Psaki. She also attributed the new data to gun prevalence.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In addition, another Joe Biden calamity  never seen before: trains have been robbed and raided wholesale in Los Angeles. Commentator asked: &amp;quot;Where's Pete Buttigieg? Where's Joe Biden? In the past, the U.S. would call in the military for this kind of assault on interstate trade.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Monica Showalter, [https://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2022/01/as_if_there_werent_enough_joe_biden_calamities_now_its_pirate_attacks.html As if there weren't enough Joe Biden calamities, now it's pirate attacks?], American Thinker, 01/15/22.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;  Trains are being robbed and raided wholesale in Los Angeles.

Per Dec 2021 ''ABC News'' report,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Bill Hutchinson, [https://abcnews.go.com/US/12-major-us-cities-top-annual-homicide-records/story?id=81466453 'It's just crazy': 12 major cities hit all-time homicide records], ABC News, December 8, 2021.&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;&amp;lt;i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===War on cops===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Democrat rioters Compton, CA.png|right|250px|thumb|Democrat riots in Compton, California, 2020.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2020/09/10/the-united-states-its-constitution-have-two-months-left/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Black Lives Matter organization}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Biden regime]] provided fresh impetus to the War on Cops with [[Kamala Harris]] leading the raising money for bail for violent looters and insurrectionists.  The number of policemen and women killed in 2021 exceeded the number of police deaths for every year since 1995.  Biden and the Democrats’ efforts to [[defund the police]] and label the police perpetrators led to widespread murders of police across the [[United States]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Mark Moore, [https://nypost.com/2022/02/06/bidens-first-year-in-office-saw-73-police-officers-killed-most-deaths-since-1995/ Biden’s first year in office saw 73 police officers killed — most deaths since 1995], ''NY Post'', Feb 6, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventy-three officers were intentionally killed in the line of duty during Biden's first year after the seizure of power — a nearly 59 percent increase over 2020, when 46 cops were murdered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Audrey Conklin, &amp;quot;[https://www.foxnews.com/us/more-cops-killed-under-biden More cops killed under Biden than previous years: 'We're going to continue to speak up']&amp;quot;, ''Fox News'', February  6, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Per &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;The National Fraternal Order of Police&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt; (FOP), as in the beginning of April 2022, 101 police officers shot in line of duty, a 43% increase from 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Audrey Conklin, &amp;quot;[https://www.foxnews.com/us/police-officers-shot-2022 101 police officers shot in line of duty, a 43% increase from 2021: National Fraternal Order of Police]&amp;quot;, ''Fox News'', April 2nd, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2022, Biden showed his softness on anti police lefty terorism. Such as the May 2020 attack by Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman - Molotov cocktails throwers.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.nationalreview.com/2022/06/the-biden-justice-departments-shameful-pandering-to-bomb-throwing-rioters/ The Biden Justice Department’s Shameful Pandering to Bomb-Throwing Rioters], NRO, June 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden administration has just added to this shameful spectacle by retroactively reducing the plea-bargained sentence in one of the most high-profile of those crimes, in which two white-shoe lawyers in Brooklyn threw a Molotov cocktail into a police car.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were well-compensated attorneys in their early thirties when they joined the protesting mob in May 2020. Rahman was caught on tape throwing the firebomb into an unoccupied police car, and Mattis was arrested with more such improvised explosives in his car and was videotaped trying to hand them out to others. These are gravely serious crimes, more so than those committed by all but a tiny handful (at most) of the people charged in connection with January 6. An unapologetic Rahman told reporters later, “The only way they hear us is through violence.”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Reducing their decades sentence to just less than two years.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/how-the-left-learned-to-stop-worrying-and-love-domestic-terrorism/ How the Left Learned To Stop Worrying and Love Domestic Terrorism], ''Washington Free Beacon'', June 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
On the cusp of nonstop, around-the-clock (primetime!) coverage of the Jan. 6 committee hearings, a couple of domestic terrorists are actually getting their day in court, and it is informative to see how Merrick Garland’s Justice Department is handling their prosecution.&lt;br /&gt;
Recall Garland’s breathless declaration, during his confirmation hearings, that “150 years after the Department’s founding, battling extremist attacks on our democratic institutions also remains central to its mission.”&lt;br /&gt;
Colinford Mattis and Urooj Rahman were arrested in the “mostly peaceful” protests following George Floyd’s murder. The two lawyers handed out Molotov cocktails to the crowd, and Rahman tossed one into a police car before fleeing the scene in Mattis’s van. They reached a plea deal with federal prosecutors in October 2020 that wiped out six of the seven charges against them. Those prosecutors, nonetheless, sought a maximum 10-year sentence and argued that the incident qualified for a so-called terrorism enhancement that would turbocharge sentencing—a determination with which the U.S. Probation Office concurred.&lt;br /&gt;
Ginning herself up to distribute explosives to the crowd, Rahman gave a video interview in which she declared, “This shit won’t ever stop until we fuckin’ take it all down,” adding that “the only way [the police] hear us is through violence.”&lt;br /&gt;
Then, Garland and the U.S. attorney for New York’s Eastern District, Breon Peace, who’s handling the prosecution, took office, and you won’t believe what happened next!&lt;br /&gt;
In mid-May, the same career DOJ prosecutors who argued for that 10-year sentence were back in court withdrawing their plea deal and entering a new one that allowed the defendants to cop to the lesser charge of conspiracy. It tosses out the terrorism enhancement entirely.&lt;br /&gt;
The new charge carries a five-year maximum sentence, but the prosecutors are urging the judge to go below that, asking for just 18 to 24 months on account of the “history and personal characteristics of the defendants” and the “aberrational nature of the defendants’ conduct.”…&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
====Insecurity under Biden====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A Sep 2022 polling revealed that nearly half of the nation's Democrats feel less safe since Joe Biden, their own party's candidate for president, was elected and moved into the White house.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Overall, nearly 7 in 10 Americans have that concern.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Bob Unruh, [https://www.wnd.com/2022/09/nearly-half-dems-feel-less-safe-since-biden-took-office/ Nearly half of Dems feel less safe since Biden took office], ''WND'', September 22, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Racist travel ban====	&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Xenophobia}}	&lt;br /&gt;
Biden banned people from [[Africa]] entering the United States because they were Black and alleged to carry mysterious foreign diseases.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Regime chief propagandist [[Jen Psaki]] refused to answer questions about Biden's racist travel ban on Africans travelling from Black African countries.  When Simon Ateba, a black African reporter with ''Today News Africa'', attempted to question Psaki about the racist motivations behind the travel ban on black Africans, Psaki ignored Ateba in favor of a sympathetic white liberal reporter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.mediaite.com/news/psaki-repeatedly-shuts-down-today-news-africa-reporter-for-shouting-questions-about-omicron-at-briefing/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ateba was persistent, and wanted to know why with no cases of the Omicron coronavirus variant in [[Zimbabwe]], [[Namibia]], [[Lesotho]], and [[Mozambique]], what justified the travel ban on countries with zero cases of the variant.  Ateba asked, “What would you say to those who believe that this is a racist ban, that it is only on African and black African nations?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/african-reporter-confronts-jen-psaki-on-bidens-racist-covid-travel-ban/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Psaki couldn't answer the question and scolded Ateba about decorum, telling him to learn his place by watching his white counterparts.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/african-reporter-that-psaki-scolded-about-decorum-says-biden-is-disrespecting-africa-which-is-mostly-brown-black/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  According to ''Fox News'', Ateba said,&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Ateba Psaki.jpg|right|300px|thumb|Psaki made rude and disparaging comments toward Simon Ateba of ''Today Africa News''.]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The travel ban was built on a lie.  The president on November 26 [2021] banned 8 African countries. Only 2 of those countries had any case of the omicron variant.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Ateba, a native of [[Cameroon]] according to the Committee to Protect Journalists, went on to question the supposed [[science]] behind Biden’s ban, pointing to Namibia, a small country on the continent’s Atlantic coast.  The nation of 2.5 million people registered only 400 cases of COVID-19 since the virus’ inception, he said, but yet Biden essentially punished them anyway.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“There’s total chaos: People can’t travel to Namibia, Zimbabwe [or] Mozambique, yet they have zero cases. So I don’t believe I was the one being disrespectful. I think Africa was disrespected, by banning countries based on a lie,” he said, referencing claims by Psaki he was being disrespectful of his fellow White House reporters.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/vq7lll-african-journalist-biden-is-disrespecting-africa-with-a-travel-ban-based-on.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Ateba was retaliated against by being dropped from Stripe, an online payment program, and the news organization may now have to shut down.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/7t_wzGSx_Hg&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====Racist Biden advisors====&lt;br /&gt;
''Politico'' reported, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Some of [Kamal] Harris’s advisers believed the president’s almost [[white privilege|entirely white]] inner circle did not show the vice president the respect she deserved,” Martin and Burns write. “Harris worried that Biden’s staff looked down on her; she fixated on real and perceived snubs in ways the West Wing found tedious.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At one point, Harris dispatched [incoming chief of staff Tina] Flournoy to talk to top Biden adviser [[Anita Dunn|ANITA DUNN]] to convey displeasure that White House staff was not standing up for Harris when she entered the room the way they did for Biden. “The vice president took it as a sign of disrespect,” according to the excerpt.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/newsletters/west-wing-playbook/2022/03/22/when-anna-wintour-pissed-off-kamala-00019368&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Two weeks before the seizure it was discovered Mary McCord (DOJ), who succeeded John Carlin as head of the [[DOJ-NSD]] during the corrupt Obama administration and submitted the [[fraud]]ulent [[Carter Page]] FISA warrant to the FISA Court, was hired by FISA Court chief judge James Boasberg as ''[[Amicus Curiae]]''.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/2021/04/28/its-official-the-fisa-court-is-compromised-presiding-judge-james-boasberg-hires-former-doj-nsd-head-mary-mccord-as-amici-curiae-to-advise-the-court/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.is/OBsBU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In November 2021 the FBI raided the founder of [[Project Veritas]], [[James O'Keefe]]'s home looking for First Daughter Ashley Biden's diary. In the diary Ashley Biden ruminates about taking inappropriate showers with her father and becoming sexualized as a small child.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.md/MBMyD&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Project Veritas itself was never able to verify the authenticity of the diary, did not publish it, and turned it over to local law enforcement.  The FBI seized Project Veritas' donor list and all telephone contacts in an attempt to intimidate donors and whistleblowers with illegal [[FISA 702]] surveillance and abuse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In June 2021 it was reported the Biden [[NSA]] was spying on Fox News host [[Tucker Carlson]] and his communications team.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-nsas-inspector-general-opens&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====War on Parents=====&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|War on parents|}}&lt;br /&gt;
There are 13 federal statutes the Biden regime domestic terrorism task force uses to intimidate and silence parents from speaking out at local school board meetings to protest Marxist indoctrination, critical race theory, gender indoctrination, mask mandates, and the rape of their children and subsequent cover-up.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/dad-arrested-at-school-board-meeting-rips-ag-merrick-garland/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  These statutes include mail threats, cyberstalking, anonymous telecommunications harassment, repeated phone calls, repeated harassing communication, false information and hoaxes, depriving a person of their civil rights and other statutes related to interstate extortion, injury to property, person, or reputation, kidnapping, and interference with a federally protected activity.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.ktvh.com/news/helena-news/u-s-acting-attorney-for-montana-sends-letters-of-statues-to-state-law-enforcement&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
=====DOJ/White House/NSBA collusion=====&lt;br /&gt;
Parents Defending Education, an advocacy organization, obtained emails through the [[Freedom of Information Act]] showing that National School Board Association (NSBA) and officials were in contact with [[White House]] staffers before the NSBA sent a letter to [[Biden]] requesting that federal [[law enforcement]] officials address unruly behavior, including threats, directed toward public education officials.  One email explains that White House staffers “requested additional information on some of the specific threats.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2021/10/21/nsba-biden-white-house-letter-domestic-terrorists/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Garland told the House Judiciary Committee under oath that the NSBA’s letter was the pretext for his instructions to [[Department of Justice-National Security Division]], US Attorney's, and [[FBI]] five days later.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The NSBA retracted its letter two weeks later, however Garland refused to retract his instructions to federal prosecutors and investigators.&lt;br /&gt;

[[Scott Smith]], a parent, was at a [[Loudoun County, Virginia]] school board meeting on June 22, 2021 because his daughter had been [[rape]]d by a [[transgender]] boy in the girls’ bathroom on May 28, 2021 at Stone Bridge High School.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/politics/loudoun-county-father-school-cover-up-bathroom-assault-daughter&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The school told Smith his daughter had been assaulted but didn't call police.  Smith reported the assault to the Loudoun County Sheriff's Office (LCSO) and rape kit evidence collected.  Prior to the June 22 meeting,  When Smith showed up at the school to complain about what had happened, they accused him of lying and called the police.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2021/10/12/loudoun-county-virginia-school-board-covered-up-student-rape-and-had-father-of-victim-arrested-to-keep-him-quiet-national-school-board-association-then-labeled-the-father-a-domestic-terrorist&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Loudon-County-1.jpg|left|300px|thumb|Parent arrested at Loudoun County, Virginia school board meeting after his daughter was raped in a [[public school]] transgender bathroom.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Moments before Smith’s arrest Superintendent Scott Ziegler of the county’s schools “said the school hadn’t had any incidents involving a transgender student in bathrooms and declared that ‘the predator transgender student or person simply does not exist.'” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/10/13/parents-demand-superintendent-be-fired-for-alleged-sex-assault-cover-up/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  An [[Antifa]] activist at the meeting claimed his daughter was lying.  When an argument ensued, police grabbed his arm. When he pulled his arm away, he was assaulted and thrown to the ground, handcuffed, and removed from the room.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://uncoverdc.com/2021/10/14/family-of-young-rape-victim-files-lawsuit-against-loudoun-county-schools/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  A damning email proved the board had been informed of the rape on the day the rape occurred.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailywire.com/news/loudoun-school-board-was-informed-of-alleged-sexual-assault-the-day-it-happened-report&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And while the [[far-left]] prosecutor’s office, which would eventually try to throw the book at Smith over his arrest at the school board meeting, insisted they were taking the rape case seriously, the same boy was transferred to another school in the district. On October 6, 2021, the same boy was alleged to have committed another rape.  A sheriff's office press  release stated, &amp;quot;A teenager from Ashburn has been charged with sexual battery and abduction of a fellow student at Broad Run High School.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10083783/Loudoun-County-father-arrested-school-meeting-says-daughter-raped-boy-girls-bathroom.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The National School Board Association (NSBA) sent a letter to Joe Biden complaining about parents speaking out at school board meetings.  The letter specifically cited the June 22, 2021 Loudoun County, Virginia incident as an example.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nsba.org/-/media/NSBA/File/nsba-letter-to-president-biden-concerning-threats-to-public-schools-and-school-board-members-92921.pdf&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The NSBA letter states that parents’ protests and speeches at school board meetings “could be equivalent to a form of domestic terrorism.”   Biden handed the letter to Garland.  Garland issued a memo directing the FBI and numerous other federal and state agencies to take “measures designed to address the rise in criminal conduct directed toward school personnel,” a clear example of the politicization of the [[Department of Justice]]. A liberal advocacy group sent the Office of the President a letter; Merrick Garland dutifully turned that letter into DOJ policy.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Smith’s case was used in [[Merrick Garland]]'s October 2021 memo warning of “domestic terrorism” at school board meetings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redstate.com/bonchie/2021/10/11/horror-in-loudoun-county-implicates-local-and-federal-officials-n455371&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The memo's intent is to intimidate parents to not speak out at school board meetings against [[critical race theory]].&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Monday was a sad day for our [[democracy]] and a dark day for the Federal Bureau of Investigation.  The search of Donald Trump’s [[Florida]] residence was a politically sensitive operation that would have tested the FBI’s reputation for fairness and impartiality in the best of circumstances.

President Trump held evidence of a politically weaponized U.S. intelligence and justice system. To include an extensive paper trail showing how the DC apparatus under the [[Obama]]-era intelligence system, [[Dept. of Homeland Security]] (DHS), [[Office of the Director of National Intelligence]] (ODNI), Dept. of Justice (DOJ) and FBI coordinated with the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign to install her into office.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/08/12/mar-a-lago-search-warrant-unsealed-the-most-urgent-critical-national-security-issue-in-the-history-of-all-time-had-14-days-to-execute/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In May 2022, the Department of Homeland Security admitted that Dominion Voting Systems have inherent vulnerabilities that are easily manipulated by local election officials.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/06/04/homeland-security-admits-dominion-voting-systems-have-inherent-vulnerabilities-easily-manipulated-by-local-election-officials/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The junta is adamantly opposed to securing the integrity of all future elections.  Polls show 77% of voters support election integrity laws like [[voter ID]], which Biden labeled &amp;quot;Jim Crow in the 21st century.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://justthenews.com/politics-policy/polling/poll-over-three-quarters-voters-believe-americans-should-have-show-id-cast&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden instructed all elements of the U.S. government and private sector to defend him against sunlight.  The Biden regime prepared to initiate hostile actions against the American electorate to protect the fraudulent results of the 2020 election.  The U.S. Department of Justice was activated along with the Federal Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Intelligence Community and elements of the U.S. Department of Defense.  In addition, the Democrat National Committee,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2021/07/12/biden-covid-vaccination-campaign-499278&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; the [[Lawfare group|Lawfare alliance]], activist groups, the U.S. media and Big Tech social media platform control agents were enlisted.  Big Tech oligarchs, aligned with the interests of the Chinese Communist Party, also provided hundreds-of-millions in defense of their own interests which are tied directly to the Biden junta.  D.C. politicians under the control of [[multinational corporation]]s were instructed to push the “domestic extremist” narrative.  Any organized and articulate sources outside the mainstream fake news media the regime considers subversive.  Approximately 100 million American voters are considered dissidents.&lt;br /&gt;

Don’t ask questions, just give them their citizenship.&lt;br /&gt;

The majority of them were not interpreters, had no visas, and no basis for entering the country. Despite that, they were rapidly brought here with virtually no vetting, dropped off at military bases, and then put through the resettlement process across the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
There’s no one problem.&lt;br /&gt;
At last count around 36,000 Afghans or 40% of the “refugees” had no legal basis for being evacuated even after the Biden administration and its congressional allies, both Democrat and Republican, watered down standards for applying for SIV visas so much so that virtually any Afghan employed in any capacity by any contractors, charities, or even the media qualified.&lt;br /&gt;
The vast majority of Afghans in the evacuation were not visa recipients, but the evacuees got past Taliban checkpoints even while Americans and visa holders were being turned back.&lt;br /&gt;
Many of them have no paperwork and no legitimate basis for even claiming political asylum.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Under the junta, the most important national security issue is the protection of transgenderism in the [[military]]. This was affirmed in presidential Executive Order No.14004 signed five days after the seizure of power.  The White House’s 2021 “Interim National Security Strategic Guidance,”  instead of offering guidance on Russian, Iranian and Chinese aggression, the document was laden with PC nonsense.  In its 24 pages, the ‘Guidance’ mentions climate change more than a dozen times, as well as racial justice and LGBTQI+ rights.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2021/mar/30/bidens-woke-military/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On January 29, 2021, four days after Biden’s transgender executive order, defense minister [[Lloyd Austin]] followed with a military-wide order that all restrictions on transgenderism would be lifted pending a review of the issue which radical leftists consider crucial to America’s national security.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://dailycaller.com/2021/02/15/barr-the-strange-priorities-of-bidens-department-of-defense/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden signed an Executive Order on January 25, 2021 mandating taxpayers to pay for gender reassignment surgery for active military personnel and veterans, with some treatments costing upward of $200,000.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/military-transgender-surgery-free&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden budget increased defense spending only 1.6%.  Adjusted for inflation, it’s a cut.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thefiscaltimes.com/2021/05/28/Bidens-First-Budget-Numbers-You-Need-Know&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Meantime CCP state media called for increases in the PRC nuclear weapons.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/china-state-media-warns-of-intense-showdown-with-america-advocates-more-nuclear-weapons/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Pentagon analysts project the CCP military to match and overtake the U.S. military in strength in 5 to 10 years.  Pentagon spending was rotated out for other domestic vote-buying schemes, such as the Green New Deal disguised as infrastructure, and supposed slave reparations including people of mixed race and immigrants who not need to prove they are descendants of American slaves (ADOS).&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Under Lloyd Austin, the Pentagon canceled a $10-billion ‘JEDI’ cloud-computing contract with [[Microsoft]] in July 2021 and handed it back to tech giant [[Amazon]], which had sued after [[President Trump]] took it away from Amazon in 2019.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pentagon-cancels-10-billion-jedi-cloud-deal-awarded-microsoft&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Weeks earlier, [[Speaker Nancy Pelosi]]'s husband, who handles the families finances, bought $1 million in Amazon call options.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.zerohedge.com/political/pelosis-husband-bought-amazon-stock-pentagon-jedi-shakeup-sent-shares-soaring&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Among the modern Pentagon's lesser priorities after transgenderism and critical race theory is its report that the possibility of nuclear weapons being used in regional or global conflicts is growing.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mailchi.mp/fas/secrecy-news-070621?e=2849dbef1b&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
====The Great Purge====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another of Austin's first actions was to order a 60 day nationwide stand down across all service branches to root out Trump voters, euphemistically referred to as &amp;quot;extremists&amp;quot;.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://greenwald.substack.com/p/the-new-domestic-war-on-terror-is&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The junta attempted to identify military personnel who exercised their [[First Amendment]] right to peacefully assemble on January 6, 2020.  In a Pentagon briefing with reporters, Ramón &amp;quot;CZ&amp;quot; Colón-López, the senior enlisted adviser to the chairman of the [[Joint Chiefs of Staff]], said that some troops have asked, when the January 6, 2021 riot is brought up, &amp;quot;How come you're not looking at the situation that was going on in [[Seattle]] prior to that?&amp;quot; &amp;quot;This is coming from every echelon that we're talking to,&amp;quot; he added.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/03/19/some-troops-see-capitol-riot-blm-protests-similar-threats-top-enlisted-leader-says.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

In May 2021, the DOD press secretary was asked about plans to monitor the social media accounts of active military members: &amp;quot;part of that insider threat program is to take a look at social media activity out there so that we're – that we can be as informed as possible....

Marine Battalion Commander, Lt. Col. [[Stuart Scheller]], was relieved of command for criticizing Austin and Milley's decision to close Bagram AFB in Afghanistan before evacuating American civilians and soldiers.  Lt. Col Scheller made a public Facebook post criticizing the decisions that led to the deaths of 13 U.S. Marines and 170 other non-combatants.  “Did any of you throw your rank on the table and say, ‘Hey, it’s a bad idea to evacuate Bagram Airfield, a strategic airbase, before we evacuate everyone’?

McKenzie for his bad assumptions – not because I’m vindictive, but because the senior leaders need to be held accountable to the same standard as us.”  Scheller vowed to file the charges through his chain of command and directly to “the former Raytheon board director, Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin.”  He also said he would file a complaint with the Department of Defense Inspector General’s Office.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://taskandpurpose.com/pentagon-run-down/marine-corps-stuart-scheller-charge-general-afghanistan/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  For demanding accountability of the regime, Scheller was sent to the brig without being charged.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.militarytimes.com/news/2021/09/28/marine-lieutenant-colonel-who-demanded-accountability-in-brig-not-charged/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Members of Congress demanded his immediate release.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://taskandpurpose.com/news/marine-lt-col-scheller-brig-gohmert/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Scheller was the only person disciplined following the Afghan debacle.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepoliticalinsider.com/marine-who-criticized-militarys-afghanistan-withdrawal-has-reportedly-been-jailed/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The values that our nation was founded on, has lived by and thrived under, have been utterly decimated by the current presidential administration and the leadership of the military; to include the Army....We are watching the fall of liberty at this moment.

Marxist appeals to fight fascism were ineffective.

{{quotebox-float|The question for the American people is, ''Are we willing to go to war with Russia on behalf of Ukraine?'' We need to understand that such a war would come at a cost beyond anything that we can really imagine. This is something that will directly impact every single one of your viewers and all of our loved ones. This is a war that is not a game.  It's a war in which there are no winners.  Russia has thousands of nuclear weapons aimed towards us that could hit any town or city in America in less than 30 minutes and exact a cost upon every one of us that would result in excruciating death and suffering beyond comprehension.  Hundreds of millions of people dying and suffering, seeing their flesh being burned from their bones.  This is something you know you can't really even imagine.  And it's a cost that we will all pay.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Why in the world would we ever contemplate going to war with Russia?  Honestly, it is one that we should not do for those very reasons.  If you look at the impacts of what a [[nuclear war]] brings it, really brings about the end of the world as we know it.  And our leaders should understand this consequence and take it seriously.  And this is why President Biden, instead of continuing to escalate tensions and continuing this new Cold War between the United States and Russia, he needs to de-escalate these tensions and actually focus on bringing an end to this new Cold War because if he doesn't, then it's not a question of if we go to war with Russia if this war ends up with a nuclear holocaust, it really is then just a question of when.  And if we continue down this path that we are on it's something that could happen a lot sooner than any of us think.}}&lt;br /&gt;

Putin stated, &amp;quot;You are on our doorstep. We cannot back down.&amp;quot;   Putin promised a response if the NATO powers do not stop their offensive actions. NATO General Secretary [[Jens Stoltenberg]] rejected them out of hand.

&lt;br /&gt;
Former U.S. ambassador to Russia Jack Matlock wrote in ''Krasno Analysis'' on December 14, 2021 that interference by the U.S. and its NATO allies in Ukraine's civil struggle has exacerbated the crisis within NATO and raised the specter a possible conflict between the nuclear powers.  Russia is extremely sensitive about foreign military activity adjacent to its borders, as any other country would be, and as the United States has always been.  Russia has signaled repeatedly that it will stop at nothing to prevent NATO membership for Ukraine.  Ukraine's friends in Europe and America should help them understand, rather than Ukraine is pursuing what could easily turn out to be a suicidal course.  He concluded, &amp;quot;back in October 1962 it was the U.S. southern border that was being approached closely by [[Soviet]] soldiers and missiles in [[Cuba]] which threatened the devastating first strike.  Today it is the relentless march of NATO, closer and closer to Russia's borders.  60 years ago [[President John F. Kennedy]] said. &amp;quot;within the past week unmistakable evidence has established the fact that a series of offensive missile sites is now in preparation on that imprisoned island,&amp;quot; and he said that &amp;quot;this is in an area well known to have a special and historical relationship to the U.S. and is a deliberately provocative and unjustified change in the status quo which cannot be accepted by this country.&amp;quot;  President Kennedy demanded that the Soviet Union remove and never again try to place nuclear-capable missiles and aircraft virtually on the U.S. border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to the U.S.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://ccisf.org/ambassador-jack-matlock-ukraine-tragedy-of-a-nation-divided/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

President Putin's agreement proposed to Biden on December 7, 2021 was that the United States ensure that Ukraine would not join NATO and thereby have U.S. and NATO forces and missiles of various types placed right on Russia's border and in an area with a special and historical relationship to Russia.&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Since the day that Donald Trump became president, Democrats in Washington have told you it's your patriotic duty to hate Vladimir Putin. It's not a suggestion. It's a mandate. Anything less than hatred for Putin is treason. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Many Americans have obeyed this directive. They now dutifully hate Vladimir Putin. Maybe you're one of them. Hating Putin has become the central purpose of America's [[foreign policy]]. It's the main thing that we talk about. Entire cable channels are now devoted to it. Very soon, that hatred of Vladimir Putin could bring the United States into a conflict in [[Eastern Europe]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Before that happens, it might be worth asking yourself, since it is getting pretty serious: What is this really about? Why do I hate Putin so much? Has Putin ever called me a [[racist]]? Has he threatened to get me fired for disagreeing with him? Has he shipped every [[middle-class]] job in my town to Russia? Did he manufacture a [[CCP pandemic|worldwide pandemic]] that wrecked my business and kept me indoors for two years? Is he teaching my children to embrace [[Critical race theory|racial discrimination]]? Is he making [[fentanyl]]? Is he trying to snuff out [[Christianity]]? Does he [[Atheists and dog meat eating|eat dogs]]? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
These are fair questions, and the answer to all of them is no. Vladimir Putin didn't do any of that. So why does permanent Washington hate him so much? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
If you've been watching the news, you know that Putin is having a border dispute with a nation called Ukraine. Now, the main thing to know about Ukraine for our purposes is that its leaders once sent millions of dollars to [[Biden family corruption|Joe Biden's family]]. Not surprisingly, Ukraine is now one of Biden's favorite countries. Biden has pledged to defend Ukraine's borders even as he [[Biden border crisis|opens our borders]] to the world. That's how it works. Invading America is called [[equity]]. Invading Ukraine is a war crime. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So with every day, we move closer to some kind of conflict with Russia, a conflict that could easily spin out of control given that the people running us have no fine motor skills, the administration assures us this has nothing at all to do with ripping Joe Biden's personal debts to Ukrainian [[oligarch]]s. Not at all. It's completely and totally unrelated. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The point here is to defend democracy, not that Ukraine is a [[democracy]]. It is not a democracy. Ukraine's president has arrested his main political opponent. He has shut down newspapers and television stations that have dared to criticize him. So in American terms, you would call Ukraine a [[tyranny]]. But Joe Biden likes Ukraine. So Putin bad, [[war]] good. How will this conflict affect you? &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Will affect you quite a bit, actually. Energy prices in the United States are about to go way up, and that means that everything you buy will become much more expensive, from the food you eat to the car you drive to the tickets you need to take your family on vacation this summer, assuming you can still afford a vacation by then. You're about to become measurably poorer. That's not a guess. Joe Biden has admitted this. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On the other hand, you're going to win an important moral victory against dastardly old Vladimir Putin, who is much, much worse than [[Justin Trudeau]]. Just so you know. So you can feel good about that because…because…let's see, come to think of it, why would you feel good about that? It seems like a pretty terrible deal for you and for the United States. [[Hunter Biden]] gets a million dollars a year from Ukraine, but you can no longer afford to go out to dinner. That's not a bargain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So what are we missing here? What we're missing is the big picture, and that's why Joe Biden has dispatched [[Kamala Harris]] to explain that picture to us. Kamala Harris’ old job was to open America's border. She did that. Her new job is to keep Ukraine's borders closed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-hate-putin-americans-suffer&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Chris Hedges of the leftist ''[[Salon]]'' magazine, speaking of Biden's $40 billion aid package to Ukraine, said the United States &amp;quot;is trapped in the death spiral of unchecked militarism.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.salon.com/2022/05/26/a-return-to-permanent-is-here-first-it-will-bankrupt-america-then-destroy-it/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{See also|Russia-Ukraine war}}&lt;br /&gt;
On January 9, 2022 ''[[Reuters]]'' reported on a telephone call between Biden and Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelensky.  ''Reuters'' reported, “U.S. President Joe Biden assured Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy that Kyiv’s bid to join the NATO military alliance was in its own hands, Zelenskiy’s chief of staff said after the two leaders spoke.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/ukrainian-president-zelenskiy-holding-talks-with-biden-adviser-says-2021-12-09/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On March 20, 2022, in an CNN interview Zelensky said “I requested them personally to say directly that we are going to accept you into NATO in a year or two or five, just say it directly and clearly, or just say no.  And the response was very clear, 'you’re not going to be a NATO member, but publicly, the doors will remain open.'”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.cnn.com/europe/live-news/ukraine-russia-putin-news-03-20-22/h_7c08d64201fdd9d3a141e63e606a62e4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[NSA]] Dir. Gen. [[Paul Nakasone]] told ''[[Sky News]]'' that United States military hackers conducted offensive operations in support of Ukraine: &amp;quot;We've conducted a series of operations across the full spectrum; offensive, defensive, [and] information operations.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://news.sky.com/story/us-military-hackers-conducting-offensive-operations-in-support-of-ukraine-says-head-of-cyber-command-12625139&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Russia conducted an incursion into Ukraine to end the Donbas war, all Russia's allies supported [[Vladimir Putin]], but no U.S. allies supported Joe Biden, apart from a few token initiatives.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/_ZQcstirhJI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Asked if he underestimated Putin, Biden stared vacantly and picked his teeth.&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;R Spencer, &amp;quot;[https://pjmedia.com/news-and-politics/robert-spencer/2022/02/23/awkward-asked-if-he-underestimated-putin-biden-stares-vacantly-and-picks-his-teeth-n1561398 Awkward: Asked if He Underestimated Putin, Biden Stares Vacantly and Picks His Teeth]&amp;quot;, pjmedua, Feb 23, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
when asked “Do you think you may have underestimated Putin?,” Old Joe Biden first continued to stare in the general direction of the question, a slight smirk on his face, expression absolutely unchanged from what it had been before the question was asked. A few seconds later he turned his head to face the camera and, after a few more seconds, grinned sardonically. A few seconds later, he began picking his teeth with his thumbnail, and then grins a bit vacantly before the video mercifully runs out. Amid all the wrong choices, erroneous policies, abject failures, and stupid missteps of this disastrous administration, it was a trivial moment, but it was a telling one.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  On April 14, 2022, a ''[[Bloomberg News]]'' op-ed stated:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Joe Biden never planned for a war like this. The assumption was that Russia would quickly conquer much of the country, so the U.S. would be supporting a simmering, low-intensity Ukrainian insurgency. Instead, Ukraine’s successful resistance has led to an ongoing, high-intensity conventional fight, with prodigious consumption of munitions and intense attrition of key military assets.  Pentagon officials say that Kyiv is blowing through a week’s worth of deliveries of antitank munitions every day. It is also running short of usable aircraft as Russian airstrikes and combat losses take their toll. Ammunition has become scarce in [[Mariupol]] and other areas.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
For the same reason, the war in Ukraine is a sobering preview of the problems the U.S. itself would face in a conflict against Russia or China. If forced to go to war in [[Eastern Europe]] or the Western Pacific, Washington would spend down its stockpiles of missiles, precision-guided munitions and other critical capabilities in days or weeks. It would probably suffer severe losses of tanks, planes, ships and other assets that are sophisticated, costly and hard to replace.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2022-04-14/russia-ukraine-war-u-s-is-running-out-of-weapons-aiding-kyiv&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======Kyiv operational command center======&lt;br /&gt;
''[[The New York Times]]'' reported on June 25, 2022:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[C.I.A.]] personnel have continued to operate in the country secretly, mostly in the capital, Kyiv, directing much of the vast amounts of intelligence the United States is sharing with Ukrainian forces...a few dozen commandos from other NATO countries, including Britain, France, Canada and [[Lithuania]], also have been working inside Ukraine....commandos from these allies either remained or have gone in and out of the country since then, training and advising Ukrainian troops and providing an on-the-ground conduit for weapons and other aid...their presence in the country — on top of the diplomatic staff members who returned after Russia gave up its siege of Kyiv — hints at the scale of the secretive effort to assist Ukraine that is underway and the risks that Washington and its allies are taking....commandos are not on the front lines with Ukrainian troops and instead advise from headquarters in other parts of the country or remotely by encrypted communications...the signs of their stealthy logistics, training and intelligence support are tangible on the battlefield....Ukrainian commanders recently expressed appreciation to the United States for intelligence gleaned from satellite imagery, which they can call up on tablet computers provided by the allies. The tablets run a battlefield mapping app that the Ukrainians use to target and attack Russian troops.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/IJ9yI&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On August 1, 2022 in an interview published in the UK ''Telegraph'', Ukrainian defense official Vadim Skibitsky acknowledged they consult with Washington before launching strikes and that Washington has [[veto]] power over decision-making.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/ZX4o6&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.businessinsider.com/himars-us-has-effective-veto-over-russian-targets-report-says-2022-8&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova responded with the statement: “No other confirmation of the direct involvement of the United States in hostilities on the territory of Ukraine is required...They are fully involved…Now Kiev representatives are talking about their military involvement not only through the supply of weapons, but through personnel management in the ranks of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, direct instructions and the choice of targets”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://archive.ph/tr52o&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======Decision to arm Ukraine with offensive weapons======&lt;br /&gt;
On June 1, 2022 Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov told ''RIA Novosti'' news that Biden's decision to arm Ukraine with [[HIMAR]] missile launchers increases the risk of direct confrontation between Russia and the United States.  Foreign secretary [[Blinken]] said the weapons, which have a precision range of up to 300 kilometers, were given on the pretext of a promise by Zelensky not to use the HIMARs against Russian territory. However Zelensky's transgender chief propagandist [[Alexei Arestovich]] immediately threatened, &amp;quot;Crimea is ours…It belongs to Ukraine…And they know it…Therefore, it will fly to Crimea double-time.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/468500-US-to-allow-Ukraine-to-decide-range-of-missiles-Kiev-threatens-to-strike-Crimea-should-the-need-arise?&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council [[Dmitry Medvedev]] retorted, “If those types of weapons are used against the territory of Russia, the armed forces of our country will have no other choice but to strike decision-making centers...It is obvious what those decision-making centers are: the defense ministry, the general staff and so on...But it should be understood that, in this case, the ultimate decision-making centers are regretfully not even on the territory of Kiev.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/politics/1459891&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
''The Washington Post'' reported on June 17, 2022,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Biden administration officials had discussed the possibility of a protracted conflict with global spillover effects even before February [2022], as U.S. intelligence suggested Putin was preparing to invade.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden administration hopes that the new weaponry, in addition to successive waves of sanctions and Russia’s diplomatic isolation, will make a difference in an eventual negotiated conclusion to the war, potentially diminishing Putin’s willingness to keep up the fight, the official said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Even if that reality does not materialize immediately, officials have described the stakes of ensuring Russia cannot swallow up Ukraine — an outcome officials believe could embolden Putin to invade other neighbors or even strike out at NATO members — as so high that the administration is willing to countenance even a global [[recession]] and mounting [[hunger]].&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2022/06/17/long-war-ukraine/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

=====Bucha massacre=====&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Safari.PNG|left|300px|thumb|Ukraine Special Forces SAFARI was sent into Bucha after the Russian withdrawal to hunt down so-called &amp;quot;collaborators&amp;quot;, for example, people who  accepted Russian humanitarian relief.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/9vGUJXuYQZQ?t=686&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
{{See also|Bucha massacre}}&lt;br /&gt;
Joe Lauria of Consortium News reported that on March 30, 2022, according to the Russian Defense Ministry, all Russian forces left Bucha.  This was confirmed on March 31 Bucha mayor Anatolii Fedoruk in a video on the Bucha City Council official Facebook page.  The translated post accompanying the video says:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“March 31 – the day of the liberation of Bucha. This was announced by Bucha Mayor Anatolii Fedoruk. This day will go down in the glorious history of Bucha and the entire Bucha community as a day of liberation by the Armed Forces of Ukraine from the Russian occupiers.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/BL8R6K5VdtI?t=519&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
There was no mention of a massacre of hundreds of civilians littering the streets. Evidence of crimes appeared only on the fourth day after the Security Service of Ukraine and representatives of Ukrainian media arrived in the town.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://consortiumnews.com/2022/04/04/questions-abound-about-bucha-massacre/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:SBU actions in Bucha April 2, 2022.PNG|right|300px|thumb|[[SBU]] special forces with Cyrillic '''СБУ''' acronym brutalizing civilians, April 2, 2022.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/NG_Strategy/status/1511921181259022343&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
''The New York Times'' was in Bucha on April 2, 2022 and did not report a massacre.  Instead, the ''Times'' confirmed the Russian withdrawal was completed two days after the mayor of Bucha said it was, and that the Russians left “behind them dead soldiers and burned vehicles, according to witnesses, Ukrainian officials, satellite images and military analysts.”  The ''Times'' said reporters found the bodies of six civilians. “It was unclear under what circumstances they had died, but the discarded packaging of a Russian military ration was lying beside one man who had been shot in the head,” the paper said.  In Bucha, the ''Times'' was close to the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, whose soldiers appear in the newspaper’s photographs. The ''Times'' suggests that Azov Nazis may be responsible for the killings:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Something very interesting then happens on [Saturday] 2 April, hours before a massacre is brought to the attention of the national and international media. The US and EU-funded Gorshenin Institute online [Ukrainian language] site Left Bank announced that:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
:''‘Special forces have begun a clearing operation in the city of Bucha in the Kyiv region, which has been liberated by the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The city is being cleared from saboteurs and accomplices of Russian forces.’''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://en.lb.ua/news/2022/04/02/12441_special_forces_regiment_safari.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Russian military has by now completely left the city, so this sounds for all the world like reprisals. The state authorities would be going through the city searching for ‘saboteurs’ and ‘accomplices of Russian forces.’ Only the day before [Friday], Ekaterina Ukraintsiva, representing the town council authority, appeared on an information video on the Bucha Live Telegram page wearing military fatigues and seated in front of a Ukrainian flag to announce ‘the cleansing of the city.’ She informed residents that the arrival of the Azov battalion did not mean that liberation was complete (but it was, the Russians had fully withdrawn), and that a ‘complete sweep’ had to be performed.”}}&lt;br /&gt;
According to War On Fakes, &amp;quot;the first unit of the Ukrainian armed forces to enter Bucha was the special forces of the National Guard of Ukraine.  The official Telegram channel of the National Guard posted a video, filmed by the fighters of this detachment themselves. We can see on this video that the Ukrainian military calmly pass through the streets of the city—and no ‘mountains of corpses’ are visible on these streets.”  War On Fakes then asks, “So where did the corpses on the streets of Bucha come from. And who are these people? &lt;br /&gt;
The answer may lie in the video of the Territorial Defense of Ukraine, which clearly states the question ‘Can I shoot at them if there are no blue armbands?’ To which a positive response follows. The video was originally posted by the leader of the [[Territorial Defense]] Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://mronline.org/2022/04/07/staged-massacre-in-bucha/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh later makes startling postings about the disappearance of Chilean/American journalist [[Gonzalo Lira]] from [[Kharkiv]]&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Sergey ‘Botsman’ Korotkikh&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On April 3, 2022 when the story broke, Russia immediately requested a meeting if the [[UN Security Council]] for the following Monday, April. The [[United Kingdom]], another permanent member of the Security Council, [[veto]]ed holding a Security Council meeting in the matter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.sott.net/article/466326-Britain-blocking-UN-investigation-into-Bucha-massacre-in-Ukraine-Russia&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Russian UN Ambassador said in a statement:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;[[London]] shows clearly what does the so-called [[new world order]] looks like, the order based on rules and based, it seems, on violation of all possible and impossible norms of international law, treaties and any norms of civilized behavior at all.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://tass.com/world/1432333&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Pentagon]] refused to confirm the Ukrainian government's claim that Russians were responsible for the massacre. &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.reuters.com/world/pentagon-cant-independently-confirm-atrocities-ukraines-bucha-official-says-2022-04-04/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.moonofalabama.org/2022/04/us-military-intelligence-official-refutes-russian-atrocities-claims/comments/page/5/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Former leader of the Socialist Party of Ukraine, Ilya Kiva said that the story in Bucha was planned and prepared in advance by the [[counterintelligence]] of Ukraine, with the assistance of the British [[MI6]].  Kiva said, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;The whole story in Bucha was prepared and planned in advance by the SBU and [[MI6]]. They arrived early in the morning, cordoned off the area, scattered the corpses and then sent [[journalist]]s there. That's why that clown Zelensky even came back. To raise the interest of the international press in the alleged tragedy, but it's all a pure fake. Why didn't such a situation take place in other areas? Don`t you understand that it was staged in advance, which was supposed to arouse the aggression and hatred in you first of all. But it didn't happen.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ot894JsANM&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
All the corpses wore white arm bands which were distributed by the Russian military to identify civilian non-combatants, who then became the victims of Ukrainian security forces as collaborators in reprisal actions.  Some alleged corpses sat up after television cameras filmed them.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://rumble.com/vzl3qf-evidence-of-bucha-false-flag.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/leaked-recording-allegedly-confirms-massacre-in-bucha-was-staged-by-ukrainian-militants/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Ukrainian television showed footage of Ukrainian security forces dragging corpses into place for the TV cameras.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
======Western coverup======&lt;br /&gt;
Western media and the NATO allies [[coverup]] came unglued by their own investigation.  A team of forensic investigators from Kyiv reported that dozens of civilians who died in the city of Bucha were killed by tiny metal arrows from shells fired by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) artillery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Pathologists and coroners who are carrying out postmortems on bodies found in mass graves in the region north of Kyiv said they found small metal darts, called fléchettes, embedded in people’s heads and chests.  “We found several really thin, nail-like objects in the bodies of men and women and so did others of my colleagues in the region,” Vladyslav Pirovskyi, a Ukrainian forensic doctor, told ''[[The Guardian]]''. “It is very hard to find those in the body, they are too thin. The majority of these bodies come from the Bucha-Irpin region.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Independent weapons experts who reviewed pictures of the metal arrows found in the bodies confirmed that they were fléchettes, an anti-personnel weapon widely used during the first world war.  These small metal darts are contained in tank or field gun shells. Each shell can contain up to 8,000 fléchettes. Once fired, shells burst when a timed fuse detonates and explodes above the ground.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“According to a number of witnesses in Bucha, fléchette rounds were fired by artillery a few days before Russian forces withdrew from the area at the end of March”, – ''The Guardian'' reported.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/MpSM-aiaxK4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  The same fléchettes were used by the AFU in 2014 in the [[Lugansk Peoples Republic]] (LPR) at the start of the Donbas war.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fléchettes were not widely used during the [[Second World War]], but were brough back by the US during the [[Vietnam war]].  “Fléchettes are an anti-personnel weapon designed to penetrate dense vegetation and to strike a large number of enemy soldiers,” according to Amnesty International. “They should never be used in built-up civilian areas.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://southfront.org/bucha-investigation-contradicts-itself-confirms-afus-atrocities/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A team of 18 experts from the forensic department of France’s national gendarmerie, alongside a team of forensic investigators from Kyiv, have started documenting the situation after the re-occupation of Bucha by the SBU Safari force.  “We are seeing a lot mutilated (disfigured) bodies,” said Pirovsky. “A lot of them had their hands tied behind their backs and shots in the back of their heads. There were also cases with automatic gunfire, like six to eight holes on the back of victims. And we have several cases of cluster bombs’ elements embedded in the bodies of the victims.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence collected by experts during a visit to Bucha, Hostomel and Borodianka, and reviewed by independent weapons experts, showed that cluster munitions and powerful unguided bombs were used in the region. They killed a large number of civilians and destroyed at least eight buildings. These types of weapons are banned by the Ottawa Convention, which Ukraine is party to.  Illegal cluster munitions were discovered in Ukrainian weapons storage depots.&lt;br /&gt;

=====Expropriation of grain stocks=====&lt;br /&gt;
Biden called for the expropriation of 20 million tonnes of Ukrainian grain stocks to alleviate price increases caused by American and European sanctions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2022/05/11/remarks-by-president-biden-on-supporting-farmers-and-american-families/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====NYT turns on Biden's war policy=====&lt;br /&gt;
On May 19, 2022, after NATO's humiliating defeat in the [[Battle of Mariupol]], the ''New York Times'' editorial board turned on Biden's war policy which was having a disastrous effect on the US economy and causing the senseless destruction of lives and property in Ukraine:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Recent bellicose statements from Washington — President Biden’s assertion that Mr. Putin “cannot remain in power,” Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s comment that Russia must be “weakened” and the pledge by the House speaker, Nancy Pelosi, that the United States would support Ukraine “until victory is won” — may be rousing proclamations of support, but they do not bring negotiations any closer.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the end, it is the Ukrainians who must make the hard decisions: They are the ones fighting, dying and losing their homes....Biden should also make clear to President Volodymyr Zelensky and his people that there is a limit to how far the United States and NATO will go to confront Russia, and limits to the arms, money and political support they can muster. It is imperative that the Ukrainian government’s decisions be based on a realistic assessment of its means and how much more destruction Ukraine can sustain.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Confronting this reality may be painful, but it is not appeasement. This is what governments are duty bound to do, not chase after an illusory “win.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Editorial, &lt;br /&gt;

====Relations with Vladimir Putin====&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As vice-president in 2011, Putin snubbed Biden in a face-to-face meeting. Sitting across a conference table Putin, Biden attempted to lecture Putin. Biden said, &amp;quot;I’ve been around a long time. The first time I was here…” and in mid-sentence his microphone was cut off,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-office/2011/03/10/remarks-vice-president-joe-biden-and-russian-prime-minister-vladimir-put&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  the lights for the TV cameras went off, and the press was told to leave. The press exited quickly and quietly.  Videocameras were disassembled from tripods and still photographers stopped shooting. Portable lights came down from retractable poles. No one spoke and no one lingered.  Putin pulled the plug, stole Biden's audience, and rendered him speechless.  Putin and the Russian delegation sat motionless as their American counterparts realized the rug had been pulled out underneath Biden's feet.  Putin had neither fear nor respect for Biden, and Biden was humiliated.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/analysis/putin-humiliated-biden-in-moscow-meeting/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden, who called Putin a &amp;quot;killer&amp;quot; in March 2021, now called him a &amp;quot;bright and worthy adversary&amp;quot; on the eve of the June 16, 2021 summit in Geneva.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/white-house-plays-down-hacker-swap-after-putin-offers-biden-a-deal-kr7cc9l8n&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Putin criticized Biden's [[human rights]] record, the mass incarceration of dissidents, and the murder of [[Ashli Babbitt]], a peaceful protester at the January 6, 2021 Capitol election theft protests.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://youtu.be/h1HPcxLc_nE&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden ducked out and refused to appear at the traditional post-summit press conference leaving more questions about Biden's mental fitness.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://creativedestructionmedia.com/news/europe/2021/06/12/biden-refuses-to-hold-joint-press-conference-with-putin-after-upcoming-summit/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
====Sanctions====&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's sanctions on Russia led to the de-dollarization of the planet, abandonment of the U.S. dollar and the global reserve currency, the creation of alternative and competing international networks and mediums of exchange, the suicide of globalization, food and energy shortages in Europe and the United States, declining living standards in the NATO bloc, and global recession.  Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova explained that the Biden regime's economic war on Russia and unacceptable behavior was caused by &lt;br /&gt;

As the new agreement ignores the fact that Iran has made rapid advancements in uranium enrichment since 2015 and addresses issues that are no longer relevant instead. In addition, the draft of the new agreement does not obligate Iran to destroy its advanced centrifuges, instead allowing it to &amp;quot;store them.&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
Above all, the first phase of the agreement allows the Iranians to continue perpetrating its global terror network by almost immediately granting it access to about $7 billion of funds now frozen in South Korean banks due to sanctions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Channel 13 News [Israel], Feb 21, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Biden's push for a bad deal, got so bad, that in Mar 2022,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Tal Spungin, &amp;quot;[https://www.jpost.com/middle-east/article-700734 Saudi Arabia, UAE leaders not returning Biden's calls, disappointed with US - report]&amp;quot;, ''JPost'', Mar 9, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are disappointed with the Iran nuclear deal, as well as the American response to Houthi terrorist attacks in recent weeks.&lt;br /&gt;
The leaders of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) have declined calls from US President Joe Biden for several weeks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday citing officials in the Middle East and the United States.&lt;br /&gt;
The messages of dissatisfaction sent by Saudi crown prince Mohammed bin Salman and Emirati Shiekh Mohammed bin Zayed al Nahyan come as the two leaders share concerns over the American response to recent missile and drone strikes from Yemen, claimed by the Iranian-backed Houthi rebels.&lt;br /&gt;
The two nations are also reportedly disappointed with the state of negotiations in the ever-nearing Iran nuclear deal, according to the WSJ.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;lt;i&amp;gt;Saudi Arabia, UAE leaders not returning Biden's calls, disappointed with US.&amp;lt;/i&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gabriel Noronha, who served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group on Biden's deal (Mar/2022):&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Gabriel Noronha, &amp;quot;[https://www.tabletmag.com/sections/news/articles/this-isnt-obamas-iran-deal-its-much-much-worse This Isn’t Obama’s Iran Deal. It’s Much, Much Worse]&amp;quot;, ''Tablet'', March 7, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Anyone seeking to gauge the imminent outcome of the international talks over Iran’s nuclear program being held in Vienna should take a look at reports from late January that three top U.S. diplomats had quit—largely in protest over the direction set by U.S. Special Envoy for Iran Robert Malley, who serves as the U.S. government’s chief negotiator.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Having served for two years in former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s Iran Action Group, I knew that this development was tantamount to a public cry for an intervention. Such resignations—not of conservative dissenters, but of career staff and President Joe Biden’s own political appointees—should have been cause for Biden or Secretary Antony Blinken to recall Malley and investigate. Their failure to do so is a sign either of a troubling lack of attention to the talks, or else the possibility that Malley—who served in the same capacity under President Barack Obama when the first Iran deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), was originally negotiated and signed—has been given a free hand to negotiate whatever he wants, as long as he gets Iran to sign.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Evidence for the latter view can be gleaned from the fact that Blinken has reneged on his pledge that his Iran negotiating team would have “a diversity of views.” Instead, he has let Malley continue to concede issue after issue in Vienna. Multiple career officials view these capitulations as so detrimental to U.S. national security that they contacted me requesting that I rapidly share details of these concessions with Congress and the public in an effort to stop them.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reports out of Vienna indicate that a deal could occur within the next few days. While some issues are still being ironed out—such as whether the United States will grant Russia immunity from any economic sanctions relating to Iran, as Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov has publicly demanded—the details that follow have been conveyed to me as finalized. My subsequent discussions with foreign diplomats—including those directly involved and those outside but close to the negotiations—confirmed their claims. Ambassador Mikhail Ulyanov, who led negotiations on behalf of Russia, has crowed that “Iran got much more than it could expect. Much more,” and bragged about how Russia teamed up with China and Iran to get dozens of wins over the United States and European negotiating positions.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The list of concessions that follows is long, detailed, disturbing, but also somewhat technical. But this much is clear to me: The deal being negotiated in Vienna is dangerous to U.S. national security, to the stability of the Middle East, and to the Iranian people who suffer most under that brutal regime. The lack of evidence to justify a removal of U.S. sanctions is illegal, and the deal that will be foisted upon the world without the support of Congress will be illegitimate. This deal will not serve U.S. interests in either the short or long term.&lt;br /&gt;
With Robert Malley in the lead, the United States has promised to lift sanction...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;This isn’t Obama’s Iran deal. It’s much, much worse.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
And:&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Iran is set to get access to a massive windfall of cash: My latest estimate (derived from figures declassified during my tenure at the State Department) is $90 billion in access to foreign exchange reserves, and then a further $50-$55 billion in extra revenue each year from higher oil and petrochemical exports, with no restrictions on how or where the money can be spent.&lt;br /&gt;
Personally, the most troubling transfer of funds will be the $7 billion ransom payment the United States is preparing to pay for the release of four Americans from an Iranian jail. Now, let me be clear: I would be extremely glad to bring these Americans back home safely as quickly as possible. They are innocent victims who, along with their families, have suffered unjustly for far too long. But make no mistake: Biden’s payment will only supercharge Iran’s hostage-taking industry….&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Biden has reversed Trump's designating the [[Houthis]] as a terrorist group under a facade of &amp;quot;humanitarian&amp;quot; effect.

A senior [[UAE|Emirati]] official tells Kann News that his country's failure to vote in the UN Security Council on the US resolution against the Russian invasion of Ukraine over the weekend is due in part to disappointment with the US position regarding the Houthi rebels in Yemen...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====ISIS among Arab-Islamists:  &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; and/or residing in Israel====&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden admin. failed to address the fatal dangerous ISIS problem at Arab-Islamists &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; and/or those residing in Israel.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Daniel Greenfield, [https://www.jns.org/opinion/will-biden-fund-isis-in-israel-to-aid-the-palestinians/ Will Biden fund ISIS in (Arab Islamists in) Israel to aid the Palestinians?], ''JNS'', March 29, 2022.&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;font size=1&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The &amp;quot;Palestinian people&amp;quot; have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;In the name of Allah, the merciful and compassionate,&amp;quot; said Palestinian Authority leader Mahmoud Abbas, “we would like to welcome Secretary Clinton.”&lt;br /&gt;
“Blinken,” someone corrected him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Sorry, Blinken,” said the 86-year-old Islamic terrorist leader.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken had to travel thousands of miles to find a leader even more unpopular and out of it than the one he had left behind at the White House.&lt;br /&gt;
That was last year. This year, Abbas got Blinken’s name right, but not much else.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 17 years (and just one election), Abbas has seen a lot of secretaries of state come and go to get their pictures taken with him before sending him a few hundred million dollars.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Last year, Abbas told Blinken that he had “postponed the elections” because of Israel and that the moment he gets his paws on Jerusalem, “we will hold them immediately and without any delay, because ultimately what we’re interested in is to establish democracy throughout Palestine.” This year they can’t be held either, because Abbas still doesn’t have Jerusalem.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The last Palestinian Authority presidential election was in 2005. Abbas won. The last parliamentary election was in 2006. Hamas won. The presidential and parliamentary elections have been postponed since then but are expected to resume any time now. If not, blame Israel.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Since elections won’t be happening anytime soon, a recent poll reveals that 73% of the “Palestinians” occupying the West Bank and Gaza Strip want Abbas to resign.&lt;br /&gt;
If elections were somehow held today, the Hamas presidential candidate would win 54% of the vote while Abbas would only get 38%. So you can see why there will be no elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Sixty-one percent want to tear up all agreements with Israel (since they haven’t kept them, that would be a technicality), 70% don’t want to negotiate with Israel and 64% don’t even want to negotiate with Biden. Fifty-eight percent oppose the “two-state solution” that is the touchstone of the entire peace process.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Seventy-three percent believe that the Koran predicts that Israel will be destroyed, but only 32% believe it will happen in 2022.&lt;br /&gt;
Under these circumstances, the last thing the Biden administration wants is democracy for the quarreling foreign jihadist tribes who invaded Israel over the last few centuries and were rebranded with the name of the European colonists known as the Philistines.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blinken is fine with Abbas postponing the elections forever, because otherwise the terror clans will do what they did the last time that Bush naively allowed elections and vote for Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that would be inconvenient because Hamas won’t pretend that they aren’t terrorists.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Four Israelis were murdered last week by a Muslim terrorist attack at a mall in Beersheva.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Despite  the terrorist’s Islamic State membership, a Hamas spokesman praised “the executor of the heroic operation” and promised more “heroic operations: stabbings, ramming and shooting” like the car-ramming and stabbing spree that killed a rabbi who ran a soup kitchen and two mothers of three. So much for the claim that Hamas will inhibit the rise of the “extremists” of ISIS.&lt;br /&gt;
P.A. media also hailed the terrorist, Muhammad Abu al-Kiyan, who was shot and killed by an Israeli bus driver who chased him down on foot, as a “martyr.” If the P.A. follows its usual “Pay to Slay” policy in this case, it won’t just be financially supporting the usual stable of PLO, Hamas and Islamic Jihad families, but also an ISIS terrorist’s family.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
And that will mean American taxpayers will end up subsidizing ISIS terrorism in Israel, as the Biden administration explores ways to bypass the Taylor Force Act’s ban on terror funding.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At a joint press conference on Sunday with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Blinken gave a speech mostly blaming Israel for future violence during Passover and Ramadan. That speech was followed by another ISIS attack in which two heavily armed terrorists opened fire on a bus. The Islamic terrorists were taken down by cops who had been eating nearby, but not before they killed two officers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hamas celebrated the “valor and courage” of the ISIS terrorists, as did Islamic Jihad.&lt;br /&gt;
Hezbollah, backed by Iran, praised the ISIS attack as an “important and most effective practical response to the infamous and treacherous normalization meetings that some Arab regimes are carrying out with the enemy entity,” referring to the anti-Iran summit in Israel with the foreign ministers of Bahrain, UAE, Morocco and Egypt.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Iran’s pro-Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps outlet, too, praised it as a “martyrdom operation.” When it comes to Israel, Iran and ISIS are on the same side. Much as Al-Qaeda and Iran were on the same side when it came to the terrorist attacks of September 11.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Blinken meanwhile used the visit to pitch Israelis on a Biden plan to remove the IRGC, Iran’s terror hub, from the list of foreign terrorist organizations, claiming it would be “symbolic.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He failed to condemn the terrorist attack as an ISIS attack, calling it “senseless” violence.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At his joint press conference with Abbas, Blinken also failed to condemn terrorism or to note that ISIS, with the tacit support of his PLO hosts in Ramallah and of Hamas in Gaza, was planting its flag in Israel. Instead, Blinken once again condemned Jewish Israeli “settler violence.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Like Undersecretary of State Victoria Nuland’s previous visit, the formula of Biden administration officials condemning Israeli “settler violence” while promising to “strengthen” the terrorists of the P.A. is as familiar as it is evil. The P.A. is an unwanted institution whose leader 73% of the people he rules over want to see out of office.&lt;br /&gt;
And 49% want to dissolve the Palestinian Authority.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Considering the decades of failure, misery and terrorism wrought by the failed Clinton initiative to create a Palestinian state, it’s long past time for everyone to turn the page on this disaster.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Neither Arab Muslims nor Israelis want Abbas or the P.A. Only diplomats like Blinken and Nuland insist on keeping the senile tyrant of Ramallah in office until he dies.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a final statistic, the poll asked who was “most deserving of representing and leading the Palestinian people.” Thirty-one percent picked Hamas, 29% chose Abbas’ P.A., and 33% chose none of the above. Eighty-four percent believe the P.A. is corrupt and 70% believe Hamas is dirty.&lt;br /&gt;
The “Palestinian people” have spoken. Will Biden listen to them?&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The root source of the corruption is the hundreds of millions of dollars Blinken came bearing last year for the regime of a corrupt, senile autocrat who didn’t even know whom he was talking to. There’s more money coming this year to prop up the terrorist regime.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All in the name of a peace which doesn’t exist and that the majority of “Palestinians” don’t want.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The United States has gone from using its foreign aid to the P.A. to prop up PLO, Islamic Jihad and Hamas terrorism against Israel to subsidizing ISIS terrorism.&lt;br /&gt;
Will ISIS be a final red line for the corrupt farce of a two-state solution and a peace process?&amp;lt;/font&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
See: [[Islamic_State#Islamic_Arabs_.22Palestinians.22_inside_Israel|ISIS among Islamic Arab &amp;quot;Palestinians&amp;quot; in Isr.]]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Qatar===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In Jan 2022, Biden told [[Qatar]]’s emir, Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, earlier this month that the Gulf country is to be designated as a major non-NATO ally, a significant upgrade in relations between the two countries. Yet the designation comes despite concerns over Qatar’s backing of Islamist groups throughout the region, including Hamas.&lt;br /&gt;
Experts add:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Ariel Ben Solomon, &amp;quot;[https://www.jns.org/with-major-non-nato-designation-america-seems-to-court-terror-supporting-qatar/ With major non-NATO designation, America seems to court terror-supporting Qatar]&amp;quot;, ''JNS'', Feb 18, 2022.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
“For decades, Qatar has provided financial and political support, directly and indirectly, to virtually every anti-American Islamic terrorist organization,” noted Carmon.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This list includes the terror-based Muslim Brotherhood, Al-Qaeda and even organizations affiliated with ISIS, he claimed.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Senior Muslim cleric and Muslim Brotherhood leader Sheikh Yusef al-Qaradawi, a prominent Islamist known for his vicious anti-Semitism and justification of the Holocaust, has been operating for years from Qatar under its protection, said Carmon. “In addition, Qatar has provided shelter to several other jihadi leaders.”&lt;br /&gt;
For example, according to testimony in 2003 before a committee in the U.S. House of Representatives, the Qatar Charitable Society is linked to top levels of the Qatari government and played a significant role in funding jihadi groups, including Al-Qaeda... In addition, the “charity” organization was first named as funding Al-Qaeda during the trial proceedings of the 1998 bombings of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania.&lt;br /&gt;
“If it weren’t for Qatar, the September 11 attacks might not have taken place,” he continued.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“In 1996, terrorist mastermind Khalid Sheikh Muhammad had been under Qatari protection in Doha. When the U.S. government notified the Qatari emir that they were coming to arrest KSM for his involvement in terrorist plots, KSM disappeared within hours, only to reappear in 2001 as the mastermind behind 9/11.”&lt;br /&gt;
Jonathan Schanzer, senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, told JNS, “the Biden decision was driven in part by the looming energy crisis. Qatar is a major global gas producer and provider.”&lt;br /&gt;
“With Russia set to invade Ukraine and potentially cut off gas to Europe, the administration needs alternatives. So, some of this may link back to our large air-force base at Al Udeid,” he said.&lt;br /&gt;
“But don’t ignore the looming energy crisis. It accounts for quite a bit right now,” he added.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qatar has ruled out normalizing relations with Israel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
... the official Qatari-owned TV channel, Al Jazeera, functions as a mouthpiece for jihadi terror organizations. “It has praised Osama bin Laden and broadcasted his speeches and allowed a sheikh to pledge allegiance to ISIS on air.”&lt;br /&gt;
“The Qatari-based channel has also aired calls for terror attacks against American oil installations,” he said. “It even hosted a birthday party—complete with a large cake, fireworks and a band—for released terrorist Samir Al-Kuntar,” a Lebanese Druze member of the Palestine Liberation Front and Hezbollah “who brutally murdered a 4-year-old [Israeli] girl and her father in 1979.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Qatar’s duplicity regarding the United States is manifest in its diplomacy, too. “Qatar funded the Taliban throughout America’s presence in Afghanistan, yet the American administration is eagerly thanking Qatar for its ‘help’ in preventing an even greater disaster during the withdrawal last August.”&lt;br /&gt;
According to an exclusive report by Axios last week, Qatar arranged with the Taliban to resume evacuation flights with Qatar Airways to allow American and other countries to evacuate thousands of their citizens.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Another Axios report, also last week, said that Qatar ruled out normalizing relations with Israel. Al Thani said that while Qatar continues to have a “working relationship” with Israel to help the Palestinians, he does not envision the country joining the Abraham Accords “in the absence of a real commitment to a two-state solution.”&lt;br /&gt;
The country has been involved in ensuring that Israel helps move aid and reconstruction supplies to Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and has transferred hundreds of millions of dollars of aid to Hamas, which rules the coastal enclave with an iron fist.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Moreover, the United States acts like it is indebted to Qatar for hosting the Al Udeid Air Base and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) headquarters, which Qatar built at the cost of $2 billion, stated Carmon.&lt;br /&gt;
There was another option: Both the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia had offered to host the CENTCOM base in Qatar’s stead, but America rejected their offers.&lt;br /&gt;
He said “the Qataris should be thanking the U.S. for guaranteeing their security, but instead, Qatar has been strengthening security relations with countries like China and telling the Iranians that ‘only countries along the coast [of the Persian Gulf] should keep security in the region.’ ”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The Taliban warned in late March 2021 that the group would start targeting foreign troops in [[Afghanistan]] if they remain in the country beyond the May 1, 2021 deadline set by the US-Taliban peace deal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/3/26/taliban-threaten-to-re-target-foreign-troops-if-may-1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  As American troops departed, the Peoples Republic of China began expanding their Belt and Road Initiative with a $62 billion aid package to Afghanistan to extend the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9755531/China-prepares-Afghanistan-following-Americas-departure-Belt-Road-program.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On July 8, 2021, Biden said from the White House, &amp;quot;I trust the capacity of the Afghan military, who is better trained, better equipped, and more competent in terms of conducting war,&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freebeacon.com/national-security/bidens-afghanistan-predictions-were-all-wrong/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; &amp;quot;There's going to be no circumstance where you're going to see people being lifted off the roof of an embassy of the United States from Afghanistan.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Naomi Lim, White House Reporter, [https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/biden-parallels-afghanistan-vietnam-wars Biden dismisses comparisons between Afghanistan and Vietnam wars], Washington &lt;br /&gt;

Many of the aircraft and helicopters are armed.  These A-29 Super Tucanos can fire laser-guided and other types of bombs. The Afghan government also had 50 American-made MD-530 attack helicopters, which are armed with machine guns and rockets.

{{quotebox-float|“Joe Biden’s handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal was condemned as “catastrophic” and “shameful” on Wednesday as the [[Houses of Parliament]] delivered an unprecedented rebuke to a US president.  MPs and peers from across the political spectrum, including [[Boris Johnson]], put some blame for the Taliban’s takeover and the chaos that followed on Britain’s closest ally.  Mr Biden was accused of “throwing us and everybody else to the fire” by pulling out US troops, and was called “dishonourable” for criticising Afghan forces for not having the will to fight.  Former defence chiefs who led British troops in the Middle East were among those to speak out, while there were warnings that the West’s withdrawal would embolden Russia and China.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[…] Labour MP Chris Bryant called Mr Biden’s remarks about Afghan soldiers “some of the most shameful comments ever from an American president”.  Khalid Mahmood, a Labour MP and former defence minister, said: “The Biden government have just come in and, without looking at what is happening on the ground, have taken a unilateral decision, throwing us and everybody else to the fire.” &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://archive.is/YkOPb#selection-517.0-535.24 Parliament holds Joe Biden in contempt over Afghanistan], By Ben Riley-Smith, ''The Telegraph'', 18 August 2021.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

The Taliban regime that the Biden junta facilitated to power contained several leaders on the [[FBI]]'s Most Wanted List. Biden's abandonment of $83 billion in military equipment made the United States, bar far, the world's largest state-sponsor of terror.&lt;br /&gt;

The Kurdistan Counter-Terrorism Service announced that 12 ballistic missiles were fired from &amp;quot;outside the borders of Iraq and the Kurdistan region, specifically from the east,&amp;quot; according to the Iraqi News Agency (INA).&lt;br /&gt;
Independent open-source intelligence (OSINT) accounts shared videos reportedly shared by Iranian civilians showing missiles being fired from Iran at the time of the attack, with at least one of the videos being geolocated to a site in Khasabad in the East Azerbaijan province of Iran.&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; via 12 missiles, reaching near US consulate and damaging [[Kurd]]ish media offices, a journalist: 'I have not seen a united Iraq around anything for a long time...

On Friday’s broadcast of HBO’s “Real Time,” host Bill Maher criticized people who have attempted to make the Russian invasion of Ukraine about their pet issues and criticized those who have attempted to blame the invasion on former President Donald Trump by asking, “if Putin thought Trump was really that supportive of him, why didn’t he invade when Trump was in office?” And arguing that the question’s worth asking “if you’re not locked into one, intransigent thought.”&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Taliban threatens to send 2000 suicide bombers to DC====&lt;br /&gt;
The Taliban told the United States that if America wants 2,000 soldiers to guard its embassy in Kabul, the Taliban too will deploy a similar number of [[suicide bomber]]s at the Afghan embassy in Washington D.C.  On December 11, 2021, a tweet by Maulvi Mohammad Yaqoob Mujahid, the son of the late Afghan Taliban founder Mullah Mohammad Omar Mujahid and now the acting defense minister of Afghanistan under the Taliban regime, stated: “If America wants 2,000 English [i.e., American] troops at its embassy in Afghanistan, we also want 2,000 Fidayeen Mujahideen [i.e., suicide bombers] from the Fateh Force at the embassy of Afghanistan in America.” The tweet is the first indication that the U.S. is seeking to deploy 2,000 troops to open its embassy in Kabul, according to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI).&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.memri.org/jttm/afghan-taliban-defense-minister-maulvi-mohammad-yaqoob-mujahid-if-america-wants-2000-english-ie#_edn1&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fidayeen is another term used by jihadi groups for their suicide bombers. “Fateh Force,” or “victorious force,” is a “martyrdom force” within the Badri 313 unit of the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan. Badri 313 is named after the Ghazwa-e-Badr, the first Islamic battle led by Islam’s founder Muhammad in which 313 Muslims defeated thousands of non-Muslim tribesmen.&lt;br /&gt;

====Looting Afghanistan's central reserves====&lt;br /&gt;

====Alleged killing of Zawahiri====&lt;br /&gt;
In August 2022 Biden announced the alleged killing of former al-Qaeda leader [[Ayman al-Zawahiri]], who was reported dead in November 2020.  Zawahiri was allegedly killed by violating international airspace with an experimental weapon prohibited by the Geneva Convention.

Vice foreign minister He Yafei said: despite differences in political ideology, there could still be opportunities for long-term cooperation. “Multilateralism, I will say, is very much needed at this critical moment,” he said. “For China, the US and the EU, all of us should rethink who we are and what roles we can play in the future.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.scmp.com/news/china/diplomacy/article/3109496/us-china-relations-trump-divisions-could-haunt-biden US-China relations: Trump divisions could haunt Biden presidency]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden referred to the [[genocide]] of the [[Uyghur]] people as a cultural norm&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2021/02/joe-biden-excuses-uyghur-genocide-just-chinese-cultural-norm-spreading-ccp-propaganda/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and called the sovereign republic of Taiwan a &amp;quot;renegade province&amp;quot; of Communist China.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://thetaiwantimes.com/president-biden-calls-uyghur-genocide-in-xinjiang-different-norm/ President Biden Calls Uyghur Genocide In Xinjiang “Different Norm”]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

=====Taiwan provocations=====&lt;br /&gt;
In August 2022, in retaliation for provocative acts by the Biden regime against Taiwan and in the Taiwan Straits, China passed numerous sanctions against the United States, American citizens and their families.  The Chinese Defense Ministry released a list of areas in which there will no longer be communication between Chinese and American officials, that includes working meetings between defense departments, maritime security consultation, cooperation on illegal migration, judicial assistance, transnational crime, drug control, and [[climate change]], and a planned phone call between senior military commanders of the two nations was canceled.&lt;br /&gt;

[[File:Tarareade2.png|right|300px|thumb|Biden and Tara Reade. Beginning in 1993 Reade made credible allegations about being assaulted and penetrated by Joe Biden and was hounded out of her job in his Senate office in retaliation for doing so.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.lifenews.com/2020/05/12/poll-bidens-support-among-women-drops-after-tara-reades-sexual-assault-allegations/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;

Tara Reade is a former aide to Senator Joseph R. Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZmVUQ7ii3_4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Reade filed sexual penetration and assault charges against Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-woman-who-accused-biden-of-sexual-assault-files-criminal-complaint-with-police/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Biden, a supposed [[women's rights]] advocate and author of the [[Violence Against Women Act]] which the [[Supreme Court]] found unconstitutional, is the original founder of the 'Believe All Women' movement when in 1991 he hastily arranged the [[racial]]ly-motivated [[Anita Hill]] hearings to against [[Justice Clarence Thomas]].  [[Washington, D.C.]] [[police]] are actively investigating the allegations of [[rape]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/reade-sexual-assault-allegation-against-biden-remains-open-investigation-says-d-c-police&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reade has been trying to tell her story since it happened in 1993. It's a story about sexual assault, digital penetration which is [[rape]], retaliation, and silencing. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Then in January 2020 Reade tried to come forward again. This time she contacted Times Up Now, the sexual harassment organization. Ryan Grim at ''The Intercept'' reported the organization claimed they could not help her because Joe Biden was a candidate for federal office and supporting a case against him could jeopardize their nonprofit status.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://theintercept.com/2020/03/24/joe-biden-metoo-times-up/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  They also pointed out that the public relations firm that works on behalf of the Times Up Now Legal Defense Fund is SKD Knickerbocker, and SKDKnickerbocker managing director is former [[Obama]] [[White House]]  Communication's director, the notorious [[Maoist]] and [[liberal]] apologist for [[mass murder]], [[Anita Dunn]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14tfnIkQ-qU&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Dunn is the top adviser to Joe Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://legalinsurrection.com/2019/04/back-to-the-future-biden-hires-anita-dunn-former-obama-adviser-who-praised-mao/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In other words, Times Up Now, an alleged women's support group, and Anita Dunn will take political dirt on their enemies, and give a heads up to their allies. In the case of Tara Reade, Dunn used Reade to vault herself into Biden's inner orbit and a cushy job in the future Biden administration.  It was no surprise when Biden appointed Dunn his chief advisor in January 2020 before the [[2020 New Hampshire Democratic primary]], since Dunn now had the goods on Biden.  Given Biden's mental incapacity questions have surged as to who really is in charge.  Anita Dunn, the woman who considers the greatest mass murderer the planet has ever known as her &amp;quot;favorite philosopher', appears to hold that trusted position.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Reade's allegations against Biden have been publicly corroborated by multiple people with whom she discussed the incident in the mid-1990s.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.businessinsider.com/former-neighbor-corroborates-joe-bidens-accuser-2020-4&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  When Reade first came forward in April 2019 along with 7 other accusers, Sen. Kamala Harris said, &amp;quot;I believe them and I respect them being able to tell their story and having the courage to do it.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/KingsleyCortes/status/1254863230054199296&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Leaked document reveals Biden’s Afghan failures:&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Jonathan Swan, Hans Nichols, [https://www.axios.com/leaked-document-reveals-bidens-afghan-failures-c27d790c-3a50-4734-8543-7db710898bb2.html Scoop: Leaked document reveals Biden’s Afghan failures], Axios, February 1, 2022&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Hours before the Taliban seized control of Afghanistan's capital on Aug. 15, 2021, senior Biden administration officials were still discussing and assigning basic actions involved in a mass civilian evacuation.&lt;br /&gt;
Outsiders were frustrated and suspicious the administration was having plenty of meetings but was stuck in bureaucratic inertia and lacked urgency until the last minute.&lt;br /&gt;
While the word &amp;quot;immediately&amp;quot; peppers the document, it's clear officials were still scrambling to finalize their plans — on the afternoon of Aug. 14.&lt;br /&gt;
For example, they'd just decided they needed to notify local Afghan staff &amp;quot;to begin to register their interest in relocation to the United States,&amp;quot; the document says.&lt;br /&gt;
And they were still determining which countries could serve as transit points for evacuees.&lt;br /&gt;
The big picture: President Biden was determined to end the country's involvement in its longest war, and last April he announced his plans to withdraw all U.S. forces from Afghanistan by Sept. 11, 2021.&lt;br /&gt;
President Trump had previously cut a deal for a U.S. withdrawal by May 2021&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Taliban kill list===&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Biden kill list.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Biden provided the Taliban with a kill list of American names and Afghan collaborators.]]&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden regime gave the Taliban a list of names of American citizens, Afghan allies, green card holders, that they said they wanted to evacuate.  &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Basically, they just put all those Afghans on a kill list,” said one defense official, who like others spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive topic. “It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean,” according to ''Politico.''&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.politico.com/news/2021/08/26/us-officials-provided-taliban-with-names-of-americans-afghan-allies-to-evacuate-506957 U.S. officials provided Taliban with names of Americans, Afghan allies to evacuate], ''Politico'', Aug 26, 2021.&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Harris’ team is experiencing low morale, porous lines of communication and diminished trust among aides and senior officials....22 current and former vice presidential aides, administration officials and associates of Harris and Biden described a tense and at times dour office atmosphere. Aides ....created an insular environment where ideas are ignored or met with harsh dismissals and decisions are dragged out. Often, they said, she refuses to take responsibility for delicate issues and blames staffers for the negative results that ensue.... “It all starts at the top,” said one of the administration officials, who like others requested anonymity to be able to speak candidly about a sensitive matter.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“People are thrown under the bus from the very top, there are short fuses and it’s an abusive environment,” said another person with direct knowledge of how Harris’ office is run. “It’s not a healthy environment and people often feel mistreated. It’s not a place where people feel supported but a place where people feel treated like s---.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The dysfunction in the VP’s ranks threatens to complicate the White House’s carefully crafted image as a place staffed by a close-knit group of professionals working in concert to advance the president’s agenda. It’s pronounced enough that members of the president’s own team have taken notice and are concerned about the way Harris’ staffers are treated....for some of the people who know Harris best, it’s become an all-too-familiar pattern for a politician who has churned through several iterations of staff on her rise and took office with a team almost entirely new to her.&lt;br /&gt;

Just six months in, some of those aides in the Office of the Vice President said they are eyeing other employment opportunities.

Aides describe Harris as unpredictable and at times demeaning to her staff.

==Facebook collusion==&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The Biden family has a long relationship with Facebook dating back to 2010, and the ability to get critics banned.  There also has been a revolving door of employees between the Obama and Biden regimes, campaign organizations, consultants, and Biden family enterprises.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On October 10, 2010,  Hunter Biden emailed Arlene Busch, a partner at Rosemont Seneca, the firm set up to sell access and influence to Vice President Joe Biden.  The subject of the email was his relationship with [[Chris Kelly]], Mark Zuckerberg's right-hand-man.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains Mark Zuckerberg’s closest adviser.png|right|350px|thumb|&amp;quot;Chris is worth about $350 MILLION.

{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I brought Chris Kelly to lunch. We can talk in more detail tomorrow about the meeting, but just to be clear– Chris is worth about $350 MILLION. He remains [[Mark Zuckerberg]]’s closest adviser and was the first person outside of programers Facebook hired.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

Kelly just dumped $10 million of his own money in a failed primary contest against Kamala Harris for Attorney General of California.  Days later, a Kelly flunky emailed Hunter asking what favor he could do.  Hunter wanted a critic's account on Facebook taken down.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Hi Mr. Biden, Chris Kelly forwarded me your message about a Facebook profile that you’re trying to get shut down?”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
To which Hunter Biden replied:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Thanks Adam—I will get info to you ASAP.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Adam replied, saying, “Thank you”.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-8.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Two days later the Facebook flunky confirmed the hit against a third party had been carried out.&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Mr. Biden,&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
We have removed the fake profile. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.&lt;br /&gt;

In 2012 Eric Schwerin, who formally headed up the partnership with Chinese Communists, devised a scheme to milk money out of Facebook and other Silicon Valley Democrats for then Delaware Attorney General [[Beau Biden]]:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“Does it make sense to reach out to Chris Kelly (maybe in an email from Hunter) and ask him to suggest a  number of Silicon Valley Dem Types that we should invite to Beau’s party? I am sure he would encourage them to come and giving him some ownership of that group might not be a bad idea.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Any complications vis a vis [[Kamala Harris]] and Chris? I assume they are all good?”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;Kamala Harris and Chris Kelly had opposed each other in 2010 California Attorney General Democratic primary. https://ballotpedia.org/California_Attorney_General_election,_2010#Democratic_primary&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter Biden replied to this email saying, “Very good idea”.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwerin replied, saying, : &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“Great. I’ll draft an email and send it from Hunter. Hunter, if you want to see it first, let me know. Otherwise, we’ll send it off tomorrow.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-11.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Klain rigged elections.jpg|right|350px|thumb|Biden [[chief of staff]] [[Ron Klain]] publicly agrees that elections are rigged.]]&lt;br /&gt;
Shortly after Hunter got on the payroll of Burisma, Secretary of State John Kerry's [[chief-of-staff]] gave Schwerin a heads up that ''Wall Street Journal'' reporters were poking around in the deal:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“FYI, at David Wade’s&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/Screen-Shot-2020-12-17-at-10.09.47-PM-525x1024.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; urging I spoke to the WSJ [Wall Street Journal] on background tonight. They were about to run with a story that said Rosemont Seneca had invested in Burisma. Told them that was not the case. Didn’t say much else. Not sure what else they were going with but they were apparently asking questions about ownership as well. Probably going to run tonight. Didn’t seem too concerning to me.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/image-13-1024x576.png&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
David Wade at the time was Kerry's chief-of-staff. Wade previously was Joe Biden press secretary during the [[2008 presidential campaign]]. In 2017 Wade became a PR consultant for Rosemont Seneca and Hunter Biden to handle all the negative publicity regarding Joe and Hunter Biden raking off $166,000 per month in [[kickback]]s from Burisma.  In the 2020 election cycle Wade went to work for Facebook.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The same day as the Schwerin email about Wade and the ''Wall Street Journal'', other members of the Washington press corp were probing the issue of the Biden family's conflict of interest and influence peddling, as well. At the State Department, junior propagandist Jen Psaki was asked by Matt Lee of the ''[[Associated Press]]'':&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|Lee: “Does this building diplomatically have any concerns about potential perceptions of conflict or [[cronyism]] – which is what you’ve often accused the Russians of doing?”&amp;lt;br&amp;gt;Paski: “No, he’s a private citizen.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.c-span.org/video/?c4819961/hunter-biden-ukraine-joe-biden-conflict-interest-13-2014&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
On October 14, 2020, three weeks before the 2020 presidential election, Twitter and Facebook locked the account of the ''[[New York Post]]'' and limited their ability to share and post news stories after the ''New York Post'' published a bombshell report detailing some of Hunter Biden’s emails proving that Hunter Biden introduced his father, Joe Biden, to a top Ukranian energy firm executive from [[Burisma]] while Joe Biden was [[vice president]].  This was evidence Joe Biden used his influence as vice president to enrich his family through lucrative business deals with foreign nations like Ukraine and China, compromising the integrity of the vice presidency, as well as US [[national security]].  Facebook’s Policy Communication’s Director [[Andy Stone]] said,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“While I will intentionally not link to the New York Post, I want to be clear that this story is eligible to be fact-checked by Facebook’s third-party fact-checking partners. This is part our standard process to reduce the spread of misinformation. We temporarily reduce distribution pending fact-checker review.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/andymstone/status/1316395902479872000&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Before working for Facebook, Andy Stone worked for the Democrat’s House Majority PAC as well at the [[Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee]] (DCCC), which is a clear [[conflict of interest]] during an election year.  Facebook and their executives made the pre-emptive decision to label the ''New York Post''‘s Hunter Biden story as factually incorrect and limited the publishing ability of the ''New York Post''’s account before they even “fact checked” the already factually correct article.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://loomered.com/2020/12/17/exclusive-hunter-biden-emails-reveal-founder-of-facebooks-dc-office-banned-accounts-at-bidens-request-as-family-made-millions-from-silicon-valley-dems/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The probability of mail-in voter fraud creating chaos after Election Day, November 3, 2020, is very real.  Some states may force residents to use mail-in ballots during the current health emergency.  Voting by mail makes it easier to commit [[fraud]], intimidate voters, and destroy the protections of the secret ballot.  Without the oversight of election and polling officials, mail-in ballots are the ballots most vulnerable to being altered, stolen, or forged.  Fraud by duplicate voting can occur, once by absentee or mail-in ballot, and then again in person.  Employees of private companies hired to contact and register voters have been known to change party affiliations of voters and forge signatures on voter registration forms, among other things.  &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Democrats want to tilt elections in their favor outside the ballot box, [[Marc Elias]] of [[Perkins Coie]] is the go-to guy.  Perkins Coie is the Democratic law firm, paid by [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign|the Hillary Clinton campaign]], that hired [[Fusion GPS]] to dig up dirt on Donald Trump in 2016. They failed, but still compiled the ''[[Steele dossier]]'' full of foreign-solicited lies about Trump and Russia, which was leaked by Obama intelligence officials to try to sabotage the new president’s administration, sow doubt in his election victory, and invalidate the votes of 63 million Americans.  From [[Wisconsin]] to [[Nevada]], to [[California]], Marc Elias and the Democrats pushed lawsuits disguised as “election reform” to water down important election safeguards and increase the opportunity for fraud, abuse, and corruption.  In August 2020 ''[[Politico]]'' reported,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox|[[File:Early morning ballot dumps Nov. 4, 2020.png|right|350px|thumb|Four highly anomalous ballot dumps highlighted in yellow account for the &amp;quot;win&amp;quot; in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Georgia and represent forty-two electoral votes.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://votepatternanalysis.substack.com/p/voting-anomalies-2020&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]][[Coronavirus]] has turned the Democratic Party’s voter contact program, one operative said, into something more like a tech support operation than a traditional door-knocking effort.....[[Priorities USA]], the Democratic super PAC, is spending $24 million on voter mobilization, which includes vote-by-mail education. Fair Fight, a group founded by [[Stacey Abrams]], has rolled out voter protection programs in 17 states....&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Meanwhile, President Donald Trump’s recent attacks on the USPS and on mail-voting is raising concern among voters, operatives say.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“We've seen such an increase from young people in terms of concern about their ballot casting,” said Jared DeLoof, the states director of [[NextGen America]], which targets younger voters. “They want to vote, they want to make sure that that vote is going to count.” [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Democrats believe they will also have to follow up with some voters after their ballot has been cast, in an effort to help them fix ballots that have been rejected for technical reasons. State rules vary widely on if or how voters can correct their ballots, and the time windows to do so can be short.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
While Democrat campaigns and groups navigate the patchwork of state rules governing mail ballots to encourage turnout, Democrat election attorney Marc Elias is trying to change many of those rules.&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:2020-11-04.jpg|left|300px|thumb|]]&lt;br /&gt;
This is the other half of the party’s vote-by-mail efforts: a sprawling legal effort that spans every battleground state and is costing tens of millions of dollars. Priorities USA, just one of Elias’ clients, has expanded its voting litigation budget to $32 million.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One of the features of vote by mail is that between the point that the voter cast the ballot and the point that the ballot is counted, several things have to go right,” Elias said in an interview. “One is that the ballot has to be received by the election officials in time. ... And the second is that the ballot needs to be verified and accepted.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Elias, who was the lead attorney in former Sen. [[Al Franken]]’s (D-Minn.) 2008 recount victory and the general counsel for [[Hillary Clinton]] and John Kerry’s presidential campaigns, is pursuing what he calls “four pillars” of legal changes to election laws during coronavirus. The first, that mail ballots should include paid postage with them, has some cross-partisan support.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The other three do not, locking Elias in a wide-range legal fight with Republicans all over the country, including the Republican National Committee and its legal budget of at least $20 million. Those fights are over Elias’ push to mandate that states count ballots postmarked by Election Day but received after the fact; overhauling signature matching laws, which Elias derides as based on pseudoscience; and allowing for third parties to collect and turn in voters’ sealed absentee ballots, which Democrats call “community collection” and Republicans largely deride as “[[ballot harvesting]].”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
“One thing you do is you make sure that people whose ballot is being challenged based on signature matching, that the people that are doing that have been trained, are applying uniform non-discriminatory standards. And most importantly, the voter is notified and has an opportunity to cure,” Elias said of his legal strategy. (A cure process mandates that a state contacts voters whose ballots have been rejected to give them the ability to fix — or cure — their ballot.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Several Democrat-backed lawsuits have also pushed to expand who can cast absentee ballots. In 44 states, any voter can, at a minimum, request an absentee ballot if they choose to do so, and some states have changed that requirement as a response to the pandemic. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Republicans argue that allowing for outside parties to collect and deliver ballots could lead to coercion or fraud. [...]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Depending on how close the races for the White House and battleground Senate seats are, &amp;quot;we could be headed for a ''[[Bush v. Gore]]'' situation in every battleground state, depending how close the results are.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2020/08/21/democrats-vote-by-mail-plan-399671&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
The RNC and the Trump campaign pushed back against the Democrats’ assault on the integrity of elections. All across the country, Democrats tried to use coronavirus and the courts to legalize ballot harvesting, implement a nationwide mail-in ballot system, and eliminate nearly every safeguard in our elections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One in five mail in ballots have been rejected in several 2020 elections. Nearly two-thirds (62%) say there is fraud in U.S. elections, and that fraud would concern them under Democrats’ nationwide mail-in ballot system. Americans overwhelmingly approve of the safeguards Democrats are suing to eliminate like signature matching (84%), voter identification (80%), and a ballot receipt deadline of election day (83%). Voters also oppose (67%) allowing campaign workers to collect mail-in ballots, also known as ballot harvesting.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.protectthevote.com/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

According to Durham, Neustar’s chief technology officer, Rodney Joffe, accessed sensitive web traffic data that the company maintained on behalf of the White House executive office in order to collect &amp;quot;derogatory&amp;quot; information about Donald Trump. Joffe allegedly provided the information to Hillary Clinton campaign lawyer [[Michael Sussmann]], who in turn gave it to the CIA.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://technofog.substack.com/p/the-unstated-scandal-the-cia-collected&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Durham alleged that Joffe and his associates &amp;quot;mined&amp;quot; Trump White House traffic data &amp;quot;for the purpose of gathering derogatory information about Donald Trump.&amp;quot;  Clinton campaign lawyers told campaign officials, including Jake Sullivan, about the Alfa Bank claims. Sullivan later joined the Biden campaign and was appointed national security adviser. His wife is counselor to Attorney General [[Merrick Garland]], who oversees the Durham probe and has final say over a release of a report of the investigation.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freebeacon.com/biden-administration/biden-had-firm-at-center-of-trump-hacking-scandal-on-campaign-payroll/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

At 2:30 AM EDT of the 4th of November 2020, TV broadcasts reported that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Arizona, and Nevada and Georgia decided to cease vote counting operations and would continue the following day. This unanimous decision to initially and intentionally stop counting by all five battleground states was unprecedented, and it demonstrates prior coordination by election officials in battleground states.  This allowed for more time to manufacture fraudulent ballots.&lt;br /&gt;

An independent forensic audit of Dominion Voting Systems machines used in [[Michigan]] concluded: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|“The Dominion Voting System is intentionally and purposefully designed with inherent errors to create systemic fraud and influence election results.  ...The intentional errors lead to bulk adjudication of ballots with no oversight, transparency, and no audit trail.

Vice President [[Joe Biden]] oversaw the disbursement of $1 billion allocated by the U.S. to the new government of Ukraine. In 2014, Biden's son Hunter Biden, was appointed to the board of directors of Burisma Holdings, the largest oil and gas company in Ukraine. Hunter Biden was hired by [[Mykola Zlochevsky]], who served as Ukraine's ecology minister in the previous administration. Hunter Biden was paid $166,000 per month. The money was split with the nephew of [[Whitey Bulger]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Zlochevsky came under investigation by the new administration for alleged embezzlement of $5 billion while ecology minister. The prosecutor traced payments made to Hunter Biden. Vice President Biden threatened the new Ukrainian administration to withhold $1 billion in U.S. allocated funds unless the prosecutor investigating Hunter Biden was fired.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nytimes.com/2015/12/09/world/europe/corruption-ukraine-joe-biden-son-hunter-biden-ties.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

Biden bragged about having caused the firing of the Ukraine prosecutor to a [[CFR]] conference.&lt;br /&gt;

U.S. banking records show Hunter Biden's firm, Rosemont Seneca Partners LLC, received regular transfers — usually more than $166,000 a month — from Burisma from spring 2014 through fall 2015, during a period when Joe Biden was the main U.S. official dealing with Ukraine. Biden threatened Ukrainian President [[Petro Poroshenko]] that the [[Obama administration]] would pull $1 billion in U.S. loan guarantees, sending Ukraine toward insolvency, if it didn't immediately fire Prosecutor General Viktor Shokin who was investigating his son, Hunter. Biden recounted, &lt;br /&gt;

Yuriy Lutsenko, who replaced Shokin as the prosecutor looking into Burisma, said the evidence in the Burisma case he'd like to present to [[William Barr]], particularly the vice president's intervention.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Between April 2014 and October 2015, more than $3 million was paid out by Burisma to an account linked to Biden's and [[Devon Archer]]'s Rosemont Seneca firm, according to the financial records placed in a federal court file in Manhattan in another case against Archer. The bank records show that, on most months when Burisma money flowed, two-wire transfers of $83,333.33 each were sent to the Rosemont Seneca–connected account on the same day. The same Rosemont Seneca–linked account typically then paid Hunter Biden one or more payments ranging from $5,000 to $25,000 each. Ukrainian prosecutors reviewed internal company documents and wanted to interview Hunter Biden and Archer about why they had received such payments, but couldn't because of Joe Biden's intervention.  In a text message from Hunter Biden to his daughter Naomi, Hunter said their father, &amp;quot;Pop&amp;quot;, takes 50% of his salary.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.redstate.com/scotthounsell/2020/10/15/october-surprise-giuliani-reveals-texts-from-hunter-saying-biden-got-half-of-his-contracts/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/10/rudy-giuliani-releases-text-message-hunter-biden-daughter-naomi-unlike-pop-joe-biden-wont-make-give-half-salary-video/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

===Russian collusion===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In 2014 Hunter Biden colluded with, and received $3.5 million in payment from the widow of former Moscow and the richest woman in Russia.  The $3.5 million payment from [[Elena Baturina]] was for helping to establish a bank account in the United States for her.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.tapatalk.com/groups/missionquestfpb/shock-man-who-had-hunter-biden-s-laptop-suggests-t-t10669-s2420.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Baturina eventually laundered $39 million through American banks, with the help of [[Rosemont Seneca]], of funds stolen from contractors while her husband Yury Luzhkov was mayor of Moscow. In late 2019 Baturina was declared a fugitive from justice by a Russian court.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.rferl.org/a/russian-court-declares-late-moscow-mayor-s-widow-wanted-after-failure-to-appear/30348065.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

The families of Navy Seal Team 6 blame Vice President Biden for revealing the identity of the Navy Seal Team that killed [[Osama bin Laden]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2019/03/bidens_betrayal_of_seals_should_doom_presidential_run.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Seal Team 6 is a covert action force, and all its members are sworn to secrecy to never reveal the actions they participate in. The government likewise is bound to protect their identities against reprisals.  In boasting of the killing, Biden named Seal Team 6 by name as the unit that found bin Laden.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
On August 6, 2011, the Taliban ambushed a Chinook helicopter carrying 30 U.S. service members — including 15 SEAL Team 6 members — in [[Afghanistan]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2013/05/09/military-families-allege-muslim-cleric-damned-dead-navy-seals-at-ceremony/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;   Everyone on board was killed.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2013/jun/7/the-betrayal-of-the-navys-seal-team-6/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  In a show of [[multiculturalism]], the [[Obama administration]] insisted a [[Muslim]] cleric be present when the bodies were recovered.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://joemiller.us/2013/05/seal-team-6-press-conference-obama-at-fault-muslim-cleric-prayed-at-funeral-damned-them-to-hell/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Families of the slain SEAL members held a news conference at the National Press Club demanding an investigation into why their sons had been identified, despite specific assurances by the Obama administration their identities would be protected.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;http://joemiller.us/2013/05/navy-seal-team-vi-families-to-reveal-obama-admin-s-culpability-in-death-of-sons/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; To add insult, the families complained about the Muslim cleric that the Obama administration required to preside in a ceremony over their remains, damned their souls to hell as infidels in an Islamic prayer proclaiming victory.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7S7h5PO3r-w&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

====Bowe Bergdahl swap====&lt;br /&gt;
:{{See also|Obama war crimes}}&lt;br /&gt;
When [[Barack Obama]] released five Taliban commanders from the [[Guantanamo Bay]] prison in exchange for American deserter Bowe Bergdahl in 2014, he assured Americans that the enemy combatants would not be allowed to return to Afghanistan.  6 American soldiers lives were lost searching for the American deserter.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2014/06/02/six-soldiers-died-searching-for-deserter-pow-fueling-backlash/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  Upon Bergdahl's return, Obama celebrated Bergdahl as a heroic “POW,” a designation the Pentagon never gave him.  Khairullah Khairkhwa, one of the five released from Guantanamo, sat across the table from Joe Biden’s personal representative in [[Moscow]] in the spring of 2021, where Mullah Khairkhwa was part of the Taliban delegation that negotiated the terms of the US withdrawal.  Mullah Khairkhwa is the mastermind of the Taliban takeover, even though the Pentagon classified Khairkhwa as too dangerous to release.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Khairkhwa assured the Biden junta that the Taliban would not retaliate against Afghans who worked with the US military or the US-backed government in Kabul.  However, reports out of Kandahar and Kabul soon after the fall of Afghanistan indicate the Taliban was going door to door with a kill list to wipe out their enemies.  Mullah Khairkhwa previously served as the Taliban’s interior minister prior to 2002, where he oversaw Islamist punishments, including beheadings and stonings.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt; https://nypost.com/2021/08/16/taliban-leader-was-freed-from-guantanamo-in-2014-swap-by-obama/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

{{quotebox-float|“Liberals have rejected common sense. Anybody who has studied the area knows that we don't have a workable rehabilitation program.

The same year Biden authored an amendment to gut Title VI of the 1964 Civil Rights Act. ''[[Politico]]'' writes of the whole sordid affair, {{quotebox-float|Biden morphed into a leading anti-busing crusader—all the while continuing to insist that he supported the goal of school desegregation, he only opposed busing as the means to achieve that end. This stance, which many of Biden’s liberal and moderate colleagues also held, was clever but disingenuous. It enabled Biden to choose votes over principles, while acting as if he was not doing so....In a seminal moment, the Senate thus turned against desegregation. The Senate had supported the 1964 Civil Rights Act, [[1965 Voting Rights Act]] and 1968 Fair Housing Act....the Senate remained the last bastion for those who supported strong integration policies.

Sen. James Abourezk of [[South Dakota]] related how Biden reacted when Abrourezek tried to block the amendment:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|‘Abourezk, you **********, if I ever vote for another one of your bills, it'll be a cold day in hell.'&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
‘Like hell I will you dirty *******.'&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
A few days later, Biden came into the scheduled committee meeting, this time with a broad, friendly grin aimed directly at me.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
‘Jesus, Abourezk, you were right,' he said. ‘I am gonna thank you. You should see the Delaware newspapers—big front-page headlines saying, ‘Biden Battles Liberals in Washington.' He was unabashedly elated. ‘They love me back home, how did you know this would happen?'&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://freebeacon.com/politics/biden-exploded-at-dem-colleague-over-busing-called-him-dirty-bastard/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}  &lt;br /&gt;
''The New York Times'' published a lengthy story on Biden's advocacy of segregation.  In a 1977 congressional hearing related to anti-desegregation orders, Biden emphasized,&lt;br /&gt;

Republican Sen. [[Edward Brooke]], the first black senator ever to be popularly elected, called Biden's amendment “the greatest symbolic defeat for [[civil rights]] since 1964.”  Brooke accused Biden of leading an assault on integration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Prof. Ronnie Dunn said opposition to busing was motivated by [[racism]] and that without the court-ordered policy Biden probably would not have become vice president in 2009. “What I find ironic is that [Biden] was the vice president under a president who, if it hadn’t been for the social interaction that occurred during the era of busing, I argue we likely would not have seen the election of Barack Obama.&amp;quot; Dunn, an Urban Studies professor at Cleveland State University and author of the book ''Boycotts, Busing, &amp;amp; Beyond'', said Biden made the case in favor of maintaining segregation. &amp;quot;That was an argument against desegregation.” Dunn said Biden must address the issue if he runs for president. “People have to be held accountable.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/politics/joe-biden-embraced-segregation-in-1975-claiming-it-was-a-matter-of-black-pride&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

When Biden announced his candidacy ''Politico'' attempted to poo-poo and explain away Biden and liberal Democrat racism with a back-handed slap at [[school vouchers]] for minority students, which liberal elites have strenuously opposed ever since the Biden Amendment passed: &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|School desegregation, as part of a broader suite of civil rights reforms, was once as a vital component of the Democratic Party platform. Yet since the 1970s, Democrats, in the face of concerted white backlash, have largely accommodated themselves to increasing segregation in public schools across the nation. Party leaders, even the most progressive among them, rarely propose serious solutions to this vexing problem. A sincere critique of Biden’s busing record would require a broader reckoning of the Democratic Party’s—and by extension the nation’s—abandonment of this central goal of the [[civil rights movement]]. And it’s hard to see that happening anytime soon.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/05/05/joe-biden-busing-problem-226791&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
In the late summer of 2006 [[Joe Biden]]’s son Hunter and Joe’s younger brother, James, purchased the firm. On their first day on the job, they showed up with Joe’s other son, Beau, and two large men and ordered the hedge fund’s chief of compliance to fire its president, according to a Paradigm executive who was present.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
After the firing, the two large men escorted the fund’s president out of the firm’s midtown [[Manhattan]] office, and James Biden laid out his vision for the fund’s future. “Don’t worry about investors,” he said, according to the executive, who spoke on the condition of anonymity, citing fear of retaliation. “We've got people all around the world who want to invest in Joe Biden.”&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
At the time, the senator was just months away from both assuming the chairmanship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and launching his second presidential bid. According to the executive, James Biden made it clear he viewed the fund as a way to take money from rich foreigners who could not legally give money to his older brother or his campaign account. “We've got investors lined up in a line of 747s filled with cash ready to invest in this company,” the executive remembers James Biden saying.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2019/08/02/joe-biden-investigation-hunter-brother-hedge-fund-money-2020-campaign-227407&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;

Jill Biden has been criticized for her racist comments about Kamala Harris and doing a disservice to America by allowing her clearly mentally incapacitated husband to run for president.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/08/24/jill-biden-spox-demands-apology-from-fox-news-and-campos-duffy-over-disgusting-comments-1123529/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to the ''[[Washington Post]]'', whenever Jill Biden was not home, Biden stripped naked and walked around the house.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/compost/wp/2015/02/18/what-are-we-going-to-do-about-creepy-uncle-joe-biden/?utm_term=.b4c0f48017a7 What are we going to do about Creepy Uncle Joe Biden?, ''WaPo'']&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; The female Secret Service agents were afraid to report these incidents to their superiors for fear of retaliation and losing their jobs.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/story/2014/08/joe-biden-skinny-dipping-first-family-detail-109633&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
When Kamala Harris called out Biden's racist track record during the [[2020_Democrat_primaries#Pre-primary_debates|2020 Democrat primary debates]], ''Politico'' reported, &lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;Jill Biden allegedly said then-presidential candidate Kamala Harris should “go f**k yourself” after Harris appeared to accuse then-presidential candidate, Joe Biden, of taking a racist stance on busing during the first Democratic debate in 2019…Jill allegedly told close supporters a week after the debate.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2021/05/19/edward-isaac-dovere-2020-campaign-book-excerpt-joe-biden-kamala-harris-489347&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Biden told Jill that if she ever was concerned for her safety, she should fire a [[shotgun]] from the porch which in most states could be considered reckless use of a firearm:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;I said, 'Jill, if there's ever a problem, just walk out on the balcony here, walk out and put that double-barrel shotgun and fire two blasts outside the house.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/02/20/joe-biden-shotgun-advice-could-land-jill-biden-in-jail&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Bidens’ dog Major was responsible for numerous biting incidents of Secret Service personnel. One email notes that “at the current rate an Agent or Officer has been bitten every day this week.&amp;quot;  Biden's dog was reportted dead in June 2021.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.judicialwatch.org/press-releases/biden-dog-major/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Denied communion===&lt;br /&gt;
At the 2021 G-7 meeting in Cornwall, UK, Jill had to scold Joe to “pay attention” while they were speaking to U.S. troops at Mildenhall,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redstate.com/nick-arama/2021/06/09/jill-biden-scolds-her-husband-to-pay-attention-as-media-cleans-up-his-stumbling-speech-n394316&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and then had to lead him away like a child as he stumbled around in front of the press and got lost.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://twitter.com/itvnews/status/1403083935618318338&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; While in Europe Biden requested a meeting with [[Pope Francis I]] and was denied.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/247997/update-meeting-between-pope-francis-and-president-biden-did-not-happen&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Francis did not want to administer [[Eucharist|Catholic communion]] to Biden because of Biden's advocacy of murder of unborn children.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.catholicworldreport.com/2021/04/13/abp-naumann-pres-biden-and-the-ongoing-clash-over-holy-communion/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Family life===&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
According to Ashley Biden's diary, verified by the FBI and the US Attorney of the Southern District of New York, as a young child Ashley took showers with her father which she, writing in her diary, described as &amp;quot;probably not appropriate.&amp;quot;  As an adult Ashley intimated in her diary why she was over-sexualized, ruminating that it began at an early age.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://noqreport.com/2021/11/05/the-doj-just-confirmed-authenticity-of-ashley-bidens-diary-by-raiding-project-veritas-and-we-have-questions/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  She speculates that because her mother, Jill, was &amp;quot;emotionally distant,&amp;quot; she learned from her father, Joe, that she could &amp;quot;get love from men.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.bizpacreview.com/2021/11/06/owens-points-out-bidens-daughter-is-second-person-in-family-to-make-incest-allegations-after-diary-entry-1159250/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:Image cefc 2016 05 05.png|right|350px|thumb|CEFC China Energy chairman [[Ye Jianming]], the former deputy secretary of the [[People's Liberation Army]] General Political Department International Liaison Department, formed a business partnership with the [[Biden family corruption|Biden family]]. In 2017 [[Hunter Biden]] told friends, &amp;quot;I am the managing director of CEFC.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thenationalpulse.com/news/hunter-biden-cefc-managing-director/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
Emails from Hunter Biden's laptop reveal Joe and Hunter shared bank accounts and paid each other's bills.  Emails between Hunter and Eric Schwerin, Hunter's business partner at Rosemont Seneca, show Schwerin was working on Joe Biden's taxes.  Hunter complained that 'half' of his salary went to paying his father's bills while he was VP, casting doubt on Joe's previous claims that he's never benefited from his son's business dealings.  In December 2020 Hunter admitted in a public statement that he was under federal investigation over his tax affairs.  The FBI and [[IRS]] probe is reportedly also looking into Hunter's foreign business relationships and the potential for money laundering charges.  The Senate Homeland Security Committee issued a report raising fears that the Chinese government was attempting to influence the White House through a billion-dollar business deal between Hunter's company he co-founded with Schwerin, Rosemont Seneca, and Chinese oil giant CEFC.  The Biden's were offered $30 million for introductions.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/11/28/chinese-titan-lavished-hunter-biden-with-3-carat-gem-offer-of-30-million/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In yet more evidence of the deep commercial relationship between Hunter's firm and the Vice President's office during JoeBiden's tenure, Rosemont Seneca received special favors from the White House while Joe Biden was in office, including dozens of tickets to exclusive White House events and private tours for Rosemont Seneca clients or associates.  When an aide to Sen. [[Robert Menendez]] requested VP Biden host the U.S.-Spain Council's 2010 annual meeting at his official Naval Observatory residence in Washington DC, they contacted Schwerin rather than Biden's White House office.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter and Schwerin then privately discussed the potential to ingratiate themselves with 'CEOs of the major banks' if they helped arrange the request.  Schwerin was also involved in the process of gifting Biden's senate papers to the University of Delaware. A member of the VP's office, Katherina Oyama, wrote to Schwerin in March 2010 detailing the restrictions Joe's White House attorney was recommending over the public release of the papers.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Schwerin made repeated references to Joe and Hunter paying each other's bills, in emails on Hunter's laptop.  On June 5, 2010 he wrote: 'FYI, there are a few outstanding bills that need to be paid and I am not sure which ones are a priority and which should get paid out of 'my' account and which should be put on hold or paid out of the 'Wilmington Trust Social Security Check Account.  In June 2010  he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [builder] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK.  There is about $2,000 extra in 'my' account beyond what is used for monthly expenses.'  Later that month he wrote: 'Mike Christopher [a construction worker Joe hired] is hassling me so I am paying a couple of the smaller things since I haven't heard from your Dad. Know he's busy — so it's OK.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
===Shared bank accounts with Hunter===&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's son Hunter is known for his prolific use of the &amp;quot;n&amp;quot; word&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9661781/Hunter-Biden-used-n-word-multiple-times-casual-conversation-text-messages-show.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and boasts of smoking crack with ex-D.C. mayor [[Marion Barry]].&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://therightscoop.com/listen-media-darling-hunter-biden-laughing-it-up-about-racism-and-mlk-smoking-crack-with-marion-barry/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Barry was arrested while smoking crack as D.C. mayor in 1991.  Hunter Biden used a racial slur to refer to [[Asian]]s in text messages with his cousin Caroline Biden, who asked if he preferred &amp;quot;foreign or domestic&amp;quot; women.  Hunter referred to Asians with the offensive term &amp;quot;yellow.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thepostmillennial.com/revealed-hunter-biden-used-asian-slur-when-discussing-his-sex-life&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;  &lt;br /&gt;
[[File:BidenRobSavage.PNG|right|300px|thumb|Hunter Biden used a joint bank account with Joe Biden to pay a Russian escort service.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://redstate.com/shipwreckedcrew/2021/06/23/new-book-about-hunter-bidens-laptop-joe-paid-for-the-hookers-and-blow-n401169&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
One night in May 2018, Hunter attempted to pay a Russian escort service $8000 for an extended bender at the Chateau Marmont on Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills with a debit card.  The transaction didn't go through. So Hunter tried two more times with two other debit cards, one being a joint account with his father, Joe.  The transactions he thought failed eventually went through, one after the other. The first $8,000 is recorded leaving his account at 10:22 a.m. At 10:50 a.m., $2,000 leaves a different account. At 10:59 a.m., $3,500 vanishes. At 11 a.m., another $8,000. At 11:03 a.m., another $3,500. About $25,000 moved in under an hour. Another $3,500 was scheduled to transfer out later that afternoon but was delayed.  The head of the Los Angeles Secret Service field office, who according to news reports allegedly was retired at the time, showed up at the hotel with Deputy Assistant Director of the Secret Service Dale Pupillo who headed up Joe Biden's protection detail.  Hunter was told that one of the cards he used was linked to “Celtic’s account.”  “Celtic” was the Secret Service’s code name for Joe Biden.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://nypost.com/2021/06/22/did-joe-inadvertently-pay-for-hunter-bidens-wild-night-at-chateau-marmont/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hunter had another laptop stolen in the summer of 2018 by a group of Russians he was partying with.  In January 2019, Hunter left the camera rolling after filming himself having sex with a prostitute, he recounted a [[Las Vegas]] bender in which he spent ‘18 days going round from penthouse suite to penthouse suite,’ sometimes costing $10,000 a night.  The video captured Hunter telling the story that during the summer of 2018 he had nearly overdosed while partying with his drug dealer and two other guys. When he came to later, he discovered his laptop was missing.  “I think he’s the one that stole my computer.  I think the three of them, the three guys that were like a little group. The dealer and his two guys, I took them everywhere. They have videos of me doing this....My computer, I had taken tons of like, just left like that cam on, and somebody stole it during that period of time.”  The prostitute then asked Hunter if he worried the Russian thieves would try to “blackmail” him. “Yeah, in some way yeah,” Hunter replied, noting his father is “running for president,” and that “I talk about it all the time.”  Joe Biden announced his candidacy just two months after the first laptop went missing.  When ''The New York Post'' reported on the contents of the Hunter Biden MacBook in Octobeer 2020, “50 former senior intelligence officials,” led by former [[Director of National Intelligence]] [[James Clapper]], “signed on to a letter outlining their belief that the recent disclosure of emails allegedly belonging to Joe Biden’s son ‘has all the classic earmarks of a Russian information operation.’”  Either U.S. intelligence knew of the theft of the first laptop or they didn’t.  Either way, both scenarios are damning.  The FBI had been in possession of Hunter's MacBook seized at tyhe Deleware repair shop since December 2019.  In both instances of the two missing laptops, the intelligence community lied to cover up the scandal.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thefederalist.com/2021/08/13/hunter-bidens-russian-prostitute-videos-indict-both-his-father-and-u-s-intelligence-agencies/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In a March 2, 2019, conversation with an employee from Chateau Marmont Hunter recommended prostitutes should unionize.  “You organize without even organizing in any traditional way.  If you want to advertise legally you go through the unions [of which] you’re a member. Your dues are the fees that you pay for advertising. Whomever does this first will be running the largest union in the country.”  Biden added that the people who need these unions the most are the “typical traditionally uneducated minority....It’s like any other job. There are parts of it that really suck. They’re tiring. There are clients that are complete pains in the ass. There’s management that can be really horrible...There’s really bad situations, of course. It’s like any other job. But they dance because they love it.”  Biden added that he has been “telling strippers for 25 years that they should unionize.”&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/hunter-biden-prostitutes-form-union&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
As Democrats attempted to destroy American citizens' constitutional rights to bear arms and seize weapons, it was discovered Joe Biden's drug-addicted son, Hunter lied on a background check document in 2018 when he purchased a gun.  Hunter lied about his narcotics use, and the [[Secret Service]] then illegally intervened in a criminal investigation by attempting to seize the documentation before local police and the [[ATF]] could find it.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.politico.com/news/2021/03/25/sources-secret-service-inserted-itself-into-case-of-hunter-bidens-gun-477879&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One text message between Joseph R. Biden and Hunter Biden found on the laptop reads:&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|'''Joe Biden:''' This is [name of 14-year-old girl redacted] right&lt;br /&gt;

==Legacy==&lt;br /&gt;
:{{See also|Civil Rights in the Biden era}}&lt;br /&gt;
[[File:You ain't Black.jpeg|right|350px|thumb|Throughout Biden's half-century career Biden never saw or felt shame for belittling Blacks to their faces with racist and insensitive remarks.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/499214-african-american-figures-slam-biden-on-you-aint-black-comments&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;]]&lt;br /&gt;
The [[Civil Rights movement]] in the Biden era took a daunting turn for the worse.  Under the leadership of Senator and later Democrat president Joseph Biden, the civil rights movement suffered many heartbreaking setbacks.  Beginning with Biden's attack on school desegregation and the Civil Rights Act of 1965, later the mass incarceration of a generation of American American youth, and as president, the setting up of [[concentration camp]]s for immigrant children,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/297967&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; Biden re-established what many consider the Democrat party's birthright to dominate and control minorities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's &amp;quot;you ain't black&amp;quot; comment targeted at African American [[freethinker]]s was [[voter intimidation]] and summed up his 47 year career as a  Democrat plantation [[Massa|master]].  [[Black Entertainment Television]] (BET) co-founder Bob Johnson noted,&lt;br /&gt;
{{quotebox-float|&amp;quot;This proves unequivocally that the Democratic nominee believes that black people owe him their vote without question; even though we as black people know it is exactly the opposite. He should spend the rest of his campaign apologizing to every black person he meets.&amp;quot;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.usatoday.com/story/opinion/2020/05/25/joe-biden-you-aint-black-racism-trump-column/5254434002/&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;}}&lt;br /&gt;
Biden's most enduring legacy, however, was bringing 7th century terrorists into the 21st century and equipping them with the most state-of-the-art weaponry to be used against the taxpayers and citizens who paid for and developed those same weapons to protect their civilization.  Some believe Biden's ccomplishment was a warped or distorted form of &amp;quot;progressivism&amp;quot;, but Biden, ever the &amp;quot;social engineer&amp;quot;, considered it &amp;quot;leveling the playing field&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;[[equity]].&amp;quot;  Republican [[George W. Bush]] liberated millions of Afghan women and girls from abuse and captivity,&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://2001-2009.state.gov/g/drl/rls/6185.htm&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt; and was reviled by leftists; Democrat Joseph R. Biden returned Afghan women to servitude and won praise from his fellow leftists.&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.nydailynews.com/opinion/ny-oped-afghanistan-what-weve-lost-to-the-taliban-20210814-27hxdykhfffuroq3rgwy5y2o3e-story.html&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*The [[Let’s Go Brandon]] [[meme]] became popular after an NBC sports journalist tried to cover the sentiments of [[NASCAR]] fans at the Talledega Superspeedway.  In Dec 2021, Joe Biden and Jill Biden were taking calls from children and their parents to NORAD (which “tracks” [[Santa Claus]]).

One father, speaking in cheerful and respectful tones, ended the call by saying “Merry Christmas and let’s go, Brandon.” And to the delight of Biden’s tens of millions of detractors, Biden echoed those words and added, “I agree.” His supporters could argue that he was taking the air out of the phrase, but alternative explanations are that he couldn’t hide from the truth or that he was revealing yet another sign of dementia...&amp;lt;/blockquote&amp;gt;&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.wnd.com/2021/12/biden-says-go-brandon-agree-christmas-call-kids-parents/ Biden says 'Let's go Brandon, I agree' during Christmas call with kids, parents], WND, Dec 24, 2021&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

My state is anything from a northeast liberal state.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qFduMuP7v-k&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;

*Talking about his fellow Democratic presidential candidate [[Barack Obama]] he said in January 2007, &amp;quot;I mean, you got the first mainstream African-American who is articulate and bright and clean and a nice-looking guy, ... I mean, that's a storybook, man.&amp;quot; &amp;lt;ref&amp;gt;[https://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/01/31/biden.obama/  Biden's description of Obama draws scrutiny], [[CNN]]&amp;lt;/ref&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
