Yep, that was the plan all along: cull the plebs and redistribute the assets.

I feel for the good peoples of Russia and in the Ukraine.

Here in Canada our government has been super enthusiastic about getting all the “rare-earth minerals” we have hiding under those pesky forests, lakes and rivers (in the name of democracy, and freedom and “inclusiveness” and “sustainability” of course).

The result is what you might expect, less forests, less drinkable water and the militarization of the police to remove anyone that lives on land that has these minerals under them and is thus standing in the way of “progress”.

Oh and our benevolent overlords in the Canadian government like to “Drill baby Drill” a lot as well.

Here is a film that explores one of the fun results of that: https://odysee.com/@recipes4reciprocity:e/Yintah:4 (indigenous Wet’suwet’en land defenders fighting to protect their unceded territories against para-military RCMP Corporate mercenaries dragging them out of their homes at gunpoint so the pipelines can go forward).

Yaaay Sustainable Development!

I am assuming one of the safest places to hide from Agenda 2030 right now is in Tuvalu, rural Mexico & Far Eastern Russia. The UN has enslaved all 194 countries, we are fucked right now.

The question is always: Will it benefit the Russian people? If USA and Russia cooperate in extracting minerals, will it benefit the Russian people? NO. If USA businesses return to Russia, will it benefit the Russian people? NO.

After the last presidential election, Putin was at the height of his popularity. He could have EXPROPRIATED the oligarchs and distributed their assets to working class Russians. Instead he raised the age at which Russians can receive their pension.

Most of the world public, because of their own internal greed, are attracted to very wealthy "business leaders". They think these greedy pigs are going to help them somehow. In reality, they don't give one fuck about you.

The first step is to realize that you are being exploited.

Thanks, Riley. But you gotta keep in mind that all these blatantly pro multinational business and pro raw materials exploitation moves are St Vladimir playing 10D chess on behalf of the world's common people. Just keep the faith. :-)

Guess who is praising the multipolar world order. It's.... Marco Rubio and the Trump team for which he stands.

https://www.chinausfocus.com/foreign-policy/marco-rubios-multipolar-world

Marco Rubio’s Multipolar World, Mallie Prytherch, Researcher at Centre on Contemporary China and the World, University of Hong Kong, 2/7/25

"His rhetoric may seem to echo that of Chinese leaders calling for mutually beneficial cooperation in areas of shared interest. But Rubio’s multipolar world is a different beast altogether from the multipolar world that China envisions. Rather than the outlined “equal rights, equal opportunities, and equal rules for every nation… {and} cooperation under global governance,” [DELUSIONAL or DECEPTIVE on the writers’s part] Rubio’s multipolarity is not a cooperative one—rather, it is the foreign policy of “America First.”

Multipolarity to Rubio means that “The Chinese will do what’s in the best interests of China… and the United States needs to do what’s in the best interest of the United States.” It is an abdication of the U.S.’ previously self-assumed responsibility for the rest of the world. It also disputes that a multipolar world would be good for China—rather, it is anchored in the idea that current world order is “a weapon being used against {the U.S}]” by China. In a multipolar world, Rubio argues, the U.S. can finally prioritize its national interests rather than focusing on upholding the U.S.-led “liberal world order.”

Obviously everything went according to plan. And there are more wonderful victories coming. I don't know why this makes me angry. Maybe because so much horror will inevitably follow this innovative peace plan?

Hi there, how are you doing Riley? Oh what a surprise, they fooled me?? the guys are not fighting against nazism but only to steal wealthiness in Ukraine with all the complicity of the world?? Holy shit!! Putain!!! Well maybe Jacques Bergier was right in his book written in 1978 "La grande conspiration russo-américaine"=> Mc Kinder was right until they took control of the Space. Who runs the Space runs the world (US RUSSIA) (and China) and instead of fighting one against the other it was smarter to create a CONDOMINIUM between each parties. Read this book. Very interesting, even if he was wrong about some topics, he was ahead of his time before the others.

Salut.

Bergier, as a good Israeli spy, used to tell some truths and a lot of bullshits to muddy the water.

Bonjour,

Any (serious) info about Bergier being an Israeli spy?

And as an "israeli spy" what would be his interest to reveal the project of an "URSS"-US condominium?

Yes Bergier forgot China in the loop (*), as well as Israël and North Korea. This book was written in 1978. Nevertheless he was completely right about the US-"USSR" condominium (with a common network born in 1964 and with headquarters in Geneva Switzerland) , the need of a polar silk road as a link between the 2 parts of this condominium (maybe made possible by climate change, he wrote at that time), and so many common interests between both that merging would be the solution.

And was he wrong about the rest, a whole bunch of stuffs he wrote in 1978? End of gasoil, new energy for cars, control by drones, importance of satellites as a way of control ("Who runs the Space runs the World"), new society where Europe doesn't play any important role anymore, pseudo satanic West as intrinsic value, role of the NSA as the cop and the ears of the condominium, 54/12 group, 2 super-powers expansionism on Earth and Space, common declaration between both powers to restore Peace on earth and conditions to implement a NWO, narcotraffic from CIA, KGB-GRU terrorism in Europe, face recognition, etc

Bergier makes me think about Antony Sutton who wrote about false dichotomies between RUSSIA and US and technological help from the States, but with a realistic "politique-fiction" supplement for Bergier.

(*) regarding China, Bergier believed the only really hermetic secret services were the chinese, in California. There was no secret between KGB and CIA after a very long term collaboration between both, and common actions like against the french Phénix regenerator at Crays Malville in 1977, or the "wreckage" of the european satellite

Salut,

Sutton was a different animal than Bergier since he was a genuine scholar who had worked extensively in the archives. He had never ever been criticized for his achievements in his professional endeavor or his methodology, only the "boss" at the Hoover institution claimed, "he was a problem".

The books you and I have read were not the core of his work but the vulgarization for a wider audience. I wanted to buy some of his real stuff but it is far to expensive.

Bonsoir,

I have just sent brother Skidmark some links about this "drôle d'oiseau". He was never shy to say he had links with MOSSAD.

How could he forecast these things which were also embedded in many cultural production, from sci-fi novel to comics and movies? That is a good question. Le Matin des Magiciens has also been very influential in shaping many people's mind. Some kind of predictive programing?

Because you seem interested in seeking some kernel of truth, you might appreciate this very interesting series:

Hello Skidmark! Hope you are fine.

Jacques Bergier was born Yakov Mikhaïlovitch Berger (Яков Михайлович Бергер) in Odessa:

https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jacques_Bergier

This is an interview he gave in 1978. If you can't understand, at least translate the description and the titles of the different parts, it might interest you:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q2EhDqcD2gI

https://www.rts.ch/archives/1978/video/jacques-bergier-1-5-26192283.html

Small bio to be translated on this national Swiss radio

He has also featured in a Tintin album:

https://i.pinimg.com/originals/f8/65/75/f86575907ed5e1aeaf81747adecb5c8d.jpg

I read two of his book. The most influential in the West and even deeply in the US was the one he wrote with Pauwels, "Le Matin des Magiciens'. The other book I got is a kind of very pale copy of John. A.Keel

Who could have he forget?...

Hello Bugey libre. Yes, I'm as well as a 60-year-old unvaccinated person could hope to be.

Thanks for the info. I'll watch the interview when I have two hours to spare and I'm pretty sure I'll understand it as French is my mother tongue.

Very interesting character. I actually remember "Le matin des magiciens" from seeing the cover in my mother's library, as well as many copies of the magazine "Planète" - she was and still is a sucker for this kind of nonsense, and incidentally she's a very mean and crazy person (see my penultimate article).

I also remember Mik Ezdanitoff from the Tintin album, although I much prefer Spirou by Franquin (I even mention him in my last article). The surname is actually a piece of Brussels slang that Hergé liked to use instead of real foreign names. "Pakmovast! Ezdanitoff?" meaning "Hold on tight! Is this tight enough?" It's all rather ironic, since he was a rabid anti-Semite - unless there's some subtext that I've missed.

Hello,

Nice hearing you are fine. Our GenX generation is still here and strong.

If you decided to dig a little bit in the Magus Jacques Bergier, you might enjoy that 12' interview from him in 1956, three years after the creation of the NSA:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRkO6lzJuDA

According to so called journalists who interviewed him, the guy is even more ultra super mega intelligent than the Magus Attali. With such introductions from not on the payroll by the CIA (or else) presstitute, one's normal human's ego has to bow and accept the forecasts of those almost divine characters who can "prophetize". Are the magus Bergier and Attali prophets?

Hergé may have been 'antisemite' but after all, Bergier, like most Israel's leaders was a Ukrainian Jew, thus not really a semite.

Bonne journée!

Aw c'mon ES, there must be some good things you can tell us about Russia!

There are adamant enthusiasts assuring us, that the US government is sprinkled with good people, who just need our support!

Not convinced these optimists are realists!

One political commentator recently assured us, that he thought most members of parliament in one western country, were basically good people doing their best!

Stunning input that defies explanation IMO.

However, as you so eloquently point out repeatedly, not all political comment is reliable or even understandable.

I am only an amateur political analyst, with very limited time to hone my skills, but I am repeatedly shocked by the input of supposedly seasoned political analysts!

How exactly they rationalise their input is a mystery to me.

At least I know Russia is not the multi-polar moral haven, some want us to consider immigrating to!

Thank you ES for your faithful efforts to counter the dangerous addiction to hopium.

May you be justly rewarded.

The dancing comedian and the ex-KGB agent are in fierce head-to-head competition on who can sell more of their country to Blackrock & Co. through their preferred 'business broker' "47"...and who can do that faster.

Place your bets everybody on who wins the 'race'...
