Without question, these are the most perilous times in world history.

The growing threat of World War III, maybe already begun, is arguably the existential threat of all time because the risk of things going nuclear is ominously real.

Hegemon USA is more monster than nation state.

Both wings of its neocon-infested war party share blame.

Power-crazed lunatics run the Washington asylum.

Mind-manipulated by duplicitous politicians and their MSM press agents, the vast majority of Americans comprise a nation of out-of-touch-with reality morons.

Because schools no longer teach, indoctrinating students instead, an educated citizenry doesn’t exist, what Jefferson called “a vital requisite for our survival as a free people.”

Madison warned that “a popular government, without popular information, or the means of acquiring it, is but a prologue to a farce…a tragedy, or, perhaps both.”

Public ignorance is an instrument of control.

A nation of morons lets the nation’s dominant criminal class get away with mass-murder at home by kill shots and worldwide by forever wars on invented enemies.

Distracted by mind-manipulating bread and circuses, the vast majority of Americans are ignorant about the existential threat of our time.

Driven by megalomaniacal aims, the empire of lies, run by its criminal class, and its Western vassals are at war on Russia, humanity’s fate hanging in the balance.

Yet the myth of American exceptionalism, the indispensable state, an illusory moral superiority, and military supremacy persist despite indisputable evidence debunking these fanciful notions.

At the height of its power and preeminence post-WW II, what no longer exists, a future epitaph might attribute its decline and fall to unbridled imperial arrogance, hubris, its endless wars against invented enemies, and unwillingness to change.

The existential threat of our time is that its dominant criminal class may destroy planet earth and all its life forms in a futile attempt to control the world community of nations, their resources and populations.

During the Cold War years, hegemon USA got along with Soviet Russia, even if uneasily at times. Nixon went to China.

Today relations with both countries are more dismal and dangerous than any previous time, making possible nuclear war ominously real by accident or design.

And MSM were bribed with big bucks to support and promote hegemon USA’s war on humanity at home and worldwide.

Looking ahead to a new year, there’s nothing to be positive about at a time of growing homeland tyranny and ominous risk of full-scale war on Russia going nuclear.

What’s going on isn’t about Ukraine.

It’s about the growing risk of neocon-run USA’s threat to humanity’s survival in pursuit of its power-crazed aims.

And that makes the risk of its dominant criminal class killing us all ominously real.

Yet the vast majority of Americans are too mind-manipulated to understand the ominous reality of our time. 

A Final Comment

A previous article discussed the US-based Mozart Group, a private military company involved in training Ukrainian troops.

The group’s head, retired US Marine colonel Andrew Milburn, admitted the following:

Nazi-infested Ukraine is a “corrupt, f…ed up society (run by) f…ed up people.”

Ukrainian troops commit “all kinds of atrocities (and) kill dudes who surrendered.”

Because of massive battlefield losses, new conscripts are deployed to front line positions with little or no training as expendable cannon fodder.

Many never fired a weapon.

And they’re given drugs to numb them into compliance.

Hegemon USA-dominated NATO regimes don’t give a damn about the rights and well-being of Ukrainians — or their own people.

They’re used and abused to advance their imperial aims — no matter the human cost.

That’s the reality of more monster than nation-state USA and its NATO vassals — in bed with the devil in pursuit of their diabolical aims.

The nation I grew up in long ago is humanity’s greatest threat.

Yet the vast majority of Americans are too brainwashed to understand the reality of our time.

The letter and spirit of peace and good will are banned by the empire of lies throughout the holiday season and all other times of the year — in favor of a permanent state of war internally and worldwide.

On Friday, the fake Biden signed the FY 2023 NDAA into law.

Each year when enacted, the measure funds continued aggression on invented enemies in pursuit of hegemon USA’s drive for unchallenged global dominance by raping and destroying one nonthreatening nation after another.

On top of another $45 billion for Ukrainian Nazis in the wasteful $1.7 trillion omnibus spending bill — signed into law on Friday — the NDAA includes $800 million more for perpetual US war on Russia by use of expendable Kiev proxies.

It also includes $10 billion for Taiwan over five years, another $2 billion in military related loans and fast tracks arms sales to the island — as part of hegemon USA’s war on China by other means.

In response to enactment of the US forever war budget, China’s Defense Ministry spokesman, Senior Col. Tan Kefei, said the following:

Beijing “is strongly dissatisfied with and firmly opposed to (hegemon USA’s) move, and lodged solemn representations with the” Biden regime.

What the empire of lies calls a “China threat” ignores reality,  interferes in Beijing’s internal affairs, invents reasons to increase military spending for perpetual war-making in pursuit of global hegemony, challenges the PRC’s national sovereignty and “poison(s)” bilateral relations.

In stark contrast to China’s commitment to peace, stability, cooperative relations with other nations and compliance with rule of law principles, the empire of lies prioritizes perpetual wars on invented enemies — throughout each year’s holiday season and all other time of the year.

Time and again, indisputable “facts” show that hegemon USA poses a “direct threat to the international order.”

On Christmas eve, China’s Global Times stressed the following:

For years, both wings of the US war party “tried to obscure, hollow out and distort the one-China principle.”

They repeatedly “sold arms to Taiwan island” — China’s breakaway province — “leveled up its military collusion with the region, and concocted Taiwan-related bills and documents that undermined China’s sovereignty.”

“These moves will only harm peace and stability across the Taiwan Straits and raise the risk of military confrontation between China and the US.”

Beijing will respond “firm(ly)” to provocative US actions.

Days earlier, China’s Foreign Minister, Wang Yi, told interventionist Blinken the following by phone:

Hegemon USA’s “bullying…has not worked with China” before.

“Nor will it work in the future.”

Separately on Christmas day, Vladimir Putin said the following:

Russia is “we’re moving in the right direction.”

“We’re protecting our national interests, the interests of our citizens, our people.”

“We simply have no other choice but to protect our citizens” at a time of hegemon USA’s war on the nation and its people with the worst of diabolical aims in mind.

Rejecting peace in favor of perpetual war by use of Kiev’s cannon fodder troops — no matter the human toll — Putin added:

“The policy of our geopolitical opponents lies at the core of it all, aimed at pulling Russia – historical Russia – apart.”

“Divide and conquer.”

“That’s what they have always tried to do, and they are trying to do it now.”

“It’s not us who reject negotiations, but them.”

On the Biden regime’s intention to supply Ukrainian Nazis with a battery of Patriot air defense launchers and missiles, Putin stressed:

“Of course, we’ll wipe them out 100%” by use of high-precision hypersonic missiles — what no Western technology has the ability to intercept and destroy.

And this perverse reality check by former US Senator Richard Blake, saying:

“We don’t care how many Ukrainians die.”

“How many women, children, civilians and military. We don’t care.” 

“Ukraine cannot take the peace decision.”

It “can only be taken in Washington.” 

“We want to continue (perpetual war on Russia) to the last Ukrainian.”

Indifferent toward human suffering at home and worldwide, the empire of lies prioritizes pursuit of its hegemonic aims — including on Christmas Day without letup. 

Infested with undemocratic Dems, RINOs, and most others on both sides of the aisle, its dominant criminal class pledges perpetual support for Ukrainian Nazis — no matter the cost or detriment to the rights and well-being of ordinary Americans and their counterparts abroad.

The White House imposter and puppet Zelensky are oblivious to reality on the ground in Ukraine.

In his delusional Christmas eve rant, the out-of-touch-with reality front man for the empire of lies in Kiev continued to fiddle while Ukraine burns and its people suffer, saying:

“We will celebrate our holidays (sic)!”

“We will smile and be happy (sic).”

“We will not wait for a miracle. After all, we create it ourselves (sic).”

The kleptocrat war criminal in Kiev is oblivious to the reality that he’s as expendable as ordinary Ukrainians.

When no longer serving hegemon USA’s interests, he’s as disposable as yesterday’s trash, his likely fate ahead.

And along with demilitarizing Ukraine by Russia, US/NATO regimes are demilitarizing themselves by continually providing Kiev with arms for Russian forces to destroy and Kiev kleptocrats to resell on the dark web for self-enrichment.

And Russia most likely prepared years in advance to produce whatever is needed to defend the nation militarily against the threat of US/Western war on the Motherland — especially after the US 2014 coup in Kiev.

Last Thursday, Russia’s Armed Forces chief, Valery Gerasimov, noted heavy losses of Ukrainian manpower, arms and equipment.

And he explained the following:

“Kiev employs terrorist tactics such as using civilians as human shields, blocking civilians’ exit from cities along humanitarian corridors organized by the Russian side, using artillery against civilians to intimidate them, torturing prisoners of war, shelling cities with prohibited phosphorus munitions, and mining them with anti-personnel mines.”

US/Western regimes and their MSM co-conspirators suppress all of the above and similar information, including the following:

On Friday, deputy commander of Lugansk’s 2nd Army Corps, Apty Alaudinov, explained the following:

“The hottest spot on our front is Artyomovsk,” Donetsk.

Bleeding heavy losses of manpower and arms in trying to defend the town in vain, Kiev troops are being “pushed out” and preparing to retreat or surrender.

The hopeless situation is confirmed by calling strategically important Artyomovsk “meaningless.”

On what should be a day of peace and good will, hegemon USA-dominated NATO regimes continue forever war on Russia in pursuit of their imperial aims by supporting the scourge of Nazi-infested Ukraine.

While I’d love to end this article on a positive note, reality on Christmas Day and looking ahead demands otherwise.

Despite the reality of no joy to the world on Christmas and throughout the year because of hegemon USA’s forever war on humanity, I wish my readers and others yearning to breathe free my best wishes for the holidays and what follows in the new year.

While I’d love to end this article on a positive note, reality on Christmas Day and looking ahead demands otherwise.

Despite the reality of no joy to the world on Christmas and throughout the year because of hegemon USA’s forever war on humanity, I wish my readers and others yearning to breathe free my best wishes for the holidays and what follows in the new year.

On September 30, 1938, UK PM Neville Chamberlain’s “peace in our time” declaration — after returning from a Munich meeting with Nazi 

Germany’s Adolph Hitler — was prelude to WW II less than one year later.

Addressing the G20 summit last month by videolink, US-installed Ukrainian puppet Zelensky’s so-called “peace formula” was a virtual declaration of perpetual war on Russia and its people as ordered by his US master.

At the time, Chairman of Russia’s lower House State Duma, Leonid Slutsky, slammed his remarks, saying:

A “performance addressed to his Western patrons…indicate(d) that…statements about negotiations are nothing but fakes.”

Zelensky is a powerless puppet with no say over all things related to Russia.

Dominant Biden regime hardliners and congressional RINOs are hellbent for perpetuating war on the Russian Federation to the last Ukrainian.

Zelensky’s so-called “peace formula” was head-fake deception, a nonstarter for Russia, assuring perpetual war.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, slammed his deception, saying:

He prioritizes greater “military and financial aid” for continued war-making.

Zelensky reportedly discussed his “peace formula” deception with the fake Biden at the White House.

Ahead of their meeting, Biden regime propaganda coordinator, John Kirby, said the following:

They’ll “talk about…a just peace and what looks like” it — by perpetuating war, he failed to explain.

Supported by undemocratic Dems and RINOs, a $1.7 trillion wasteful omnibus spending bill includes another $45 billion for Ukrainian Nazis to continue forever war on Russia.

And on Wednesday, the Biden regime announced another near-$2 billion for continued war over pursuit of peace.

Yet according to Kirby’s perversion of reality, Vladimir “Putin is obviously not interested in diplomacy right now (sic), quite the contrary (sic).”

“He’s interested in killing more civilian Ukrainians (sic).”

Separately on Wednesday, head of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s North American Department, Alexander Darchiyev, warned about escalated confrontation by the empire of lies against his nation.

If continues down this dangerous path, “severed diplomatic ties will become a reality,” adding:

“We will not tolerate malicious provocations that leave us with no other choice.”

Things are ominously heading toward possible major confrontation — launched by hegemon USA against Russia.

And this on Wednesday from GOP neocon hardliner, Lindsey Graham, saying:

“How does this war end?” 

“When Russia breaks and they take Putin out.” 

“Anything short of that, the war’s gonna continue.” 

“We’re in (this) to win (sic), and the only way you’re gonna win…is to break the Russian military and have somebody in Russia take Putin out.” 

Graham’s extremist view is likely shared by dominant likeminded hardliners infesting both wings of the US war party.

Did his remark, quoted above, virtually call for launching WW III?

What’s becoming more likely will be made-in-the-USA if occurs.

Separately in remarks to the press on Thursday, Vladimir Putin said the following:

“I want to stress this.” 

“Everything that is happening, and everything connected with the special military operation, is an absolutely forced and necessary measure.”

“We should be grateful to our military, our troops, officers, our soldiers for what they are doing for Russia, defending its interests, sovereignty and, above all, protecting our people.”

On Russia’s economy, “despite…devastation and catastrophe predicted for us…nothing like that is happening.”

“Russia is performing much better than many G20 countries.”

“I have no doubt that every goal we set will be achieved” militarily and economically.

Since Soviet days, the empire of lies “ha(s) been trying to divide us and then run the separate parts.”

By 2014 coup d’etat in Kiev, the Obama/Biden regime launched proxy war along Russia’s border in 2014 by use of Ukrainian foot soldiers.

The empire of lies left Russia with “no other choice than the actions (taken) late last February” in self-defense after years of conflict resolution diplomacy failed because 3 US regimes undermined its good faith efforts.

On supplying a battery of Patriot air defense missiles to Ukrainian Nazis, Putin called it an “old system” — technologically inferior to Russia’s state-of-the-art systems, adding:

“There is always an antidote.”

The Biden regime is supplying Kiev with Patriot missiles “in vain.”

“We will weed (them) out.”

Kiev is entirely dependent on what’s supplied by the US/West.

“All of its manufacturing capabilities will be destroyed soon, whereas our framework is being expanded,” Putin stressed.

Russia will achieve its publicly stated aims to demilitarize and deNazify Ukraine, what’s been clear from day-one of its liberating SMO.

Looking ahead, Russia intends to increase its military to a force strength of 1.5 million.

Defense Minister, Sergey Shoigu, announced the expansion on Wednesday, citing NATO’s inclusion of Finland and Sweden in the war-making alliance.

And in remarks to Russia’s senior defense officials days earlier, Putin stressed the need to modernize Russia’s nuclear capabilities — calling them key to guarantee the nation’s sovereignty against the threat posed by the empire of lies and its NATO vassals.

The nation I grew up in long ago poses an unparalleled menace to everyone at home and worldwide.

Count the ways.

It’s waging genocidal war by kill shots to eliminate billions of unwanted people by falsely pretending that health-destroying jabs protect and preserve what’s too precious to lose.

Pittsburgh Steelers hall of fame running back, Franco Harris, most likely was the latest high-profile casualty.

Two days before the 50th anniversary of his memorable divisional playoff game-winning “immaculate reception,” he died suddenly at age-72.

While no cause of death was given, Harris was the latest in a long line of current and former athletes to die unexpectedly despite appearing to be in good health.

Along with other current and former professional athletes, including NFL alumni, Harris promoted kill shots for the Pharma-controlled CDC.

He was part of a community outreach and promotional campaign to convince maximum numbers of people to be jabbed and multi-jabbed.

Last summer, NFL Alumni CEO, Beasely Reece, said the following in pushing kill shots:

“We may be in the proverbial ‘red zone,’ but the fight isn’t over.” 

“We hope that voices of our NFL alumni will help inspire people who have not yet been (jabbed) to explore their concerns with a health care professional, get the facts and decide to protect themselves and others (sic).”

The health-destroying campaign includes public (dis)serve announcements by former professional athletes nationwide, including NFL hall of famers.

Along with Harris now gone, they include Derrick Brooks, Harry Carson, Cris Carter, Brian Dawkins, Michael Haynes, Howie Long, Anthony Munoz, Rod Woodson, Marshall Faulk, John Randle, Andre Reed, Jerry Rice, Will Shields and Andre Tippett, among others.

Last year, Harris publicly said the following:

“There’s a lot of new challenges that we are facing today and we will continue to face if we don’t get” jabbed (sic).

The CDC uses NFL hall of famers, and other celebrities, to unwittingly promote destruction of public health by kill shots designed for this purpose.

Agency head fraudster, Walensky, earlier said because people may not believe her, “they want to hear (kill shot endorsements) from their (sports) heroes.”

NFL hall of famers are being used to unwittingly promote what’s crucial to shun in a nation at war on its own people and their counterparts worldwide.

Separately, Dec. 21 will long be remembered as a day of infamy for promoting aggression and Nazism at the White House, as well as before a nationally televised joint congressional session in prime time.

The choreographed spectacle featured US-installed Ukrainian puppet Zelensky, a frontman in the former nation-state for perpetual hegemon USA war on Russia by use of expendable regime cannon fodder troops.

A comedian no longer funny, a buffoon devoid of leadership, a hugely corrupted barbarian, a Nazi to the bone war criminal, puppet Zelensky was welcomed by a standing ovation in Congress before beginning his hyperventilating rant “for more than three minutes,” the WSJ reported.

Pledging to achieve “absolute victory” ignored the shattered state of its made-in-the-USA war machine with zero prospect of turning things around.

With him at the White House, the fake Biden once again embarrassed himself as follows, saying:

“I’m honored to welcome you (sic).”

Like MSM fake news reports, the White House imposter falsely called his Washington visit “your first trip outside Ukraine since February (sic).”

During early weeks of Russia’s liberating SMO, puppet Zelensky operated cross-border in Poland while pretending to be in Kiev.

And this perversion of reality by the fake Biden, falsely calling Russia’s defensive SMO “an unprovoked, unjustified, all-out assault on the free people of Ukraine (sic).”

Ignoring the US-installed regime’s tyrannical rule, its abolition of opposition parties, independent media and all things Russian, the fake Biden hyperventilated the following:

“(W)e’ve provided billions of dollars to make sure the (regime) can keep providing basic, fundamental services to the ‘Uranian’ people like healthcare, education, and emergency personnel (sic).”

Since the Obama/Biden regime’s 2014 coup in Kiev, the vast majority of US/Western aid has gone for waging perpetual proxy and direct war on Russia and its people by the empire of lies, its Western vassals and Ukrainian cannon fodder troops.

And saying that “Ukraine defied Russia’s expectations at every single turn” ignored the shattered reality of its greatly degraded military from hundreds of thousands of casualties, a lost generation of its youths and the disintegration of the former nation-state. 

Commenting on Wednesday’s humiliating spectacle in Washington, Russia’s US envoy, Anatoly Antonov, said the following:

“(P)rovocative actions by the (empire of lies) are steadily leading to an escalation, the consequences of which cannot even be imagined.”

Hegemon USA “is fully responsible for unleashing the Ukrainian conflict in 2014.”

“All these years, (US regimes) stubbornly ignored or pretended not to notice inhuman crimes of the Kiev regime against the Russian population in Ukraine.”

Puppet “Zelensky’s visit to the American capital, the talks in Washington showed that neither the (Biden regime or dominant Ukrainian Nazis) are ready for peace.”

“Their focus is on war, on the death of ordinary soldiers, on (using) the Ukrainian regime” in pursuit of US imperial aims. 

“Notions by US (MSM press agents for imperial rampaging) that Russia is not interested in achieving peace are a blatant lie.”

The illegitimate Biden regime, undemocratic Dems and RINOs support perpetual war on invented enemies — while pretending to be for peace, a notion they abhor.

The same goes for democracy as it should be throughout the US/West — what exists in fantasy form, the real thing long ago banned.

And during the holiday season, the spirit of peace and good will is absent at a time of perpetual war with no end of it in prospect.

Ongoing by hot and other means, the empire of lies has been using Ukrainian Nazified and conscript troops as proxy foot soldiers against Russia and its people since its 2014 coup in Kiev.

Since Russia’s liberating SMO began defensively in February, hegemon USA and key Western vassals have been directly involved in orchestrating and directing Ukraine’s cross-border aggression, including target selection.

Since the dawn of the nuclear age, the risk of US-initiated WW III was never greater than now.

It may have already begun unannounced.

On Monday, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, Maria Zakharova, said the following:

“(T)he neo-Nazi Kiev regime committed another heinous crime” by shelling Donetsk residential areas as it’s doing most every day.

And for two straight days, it terror-struck Donetsk’s largest hospital.

“It is abundantly clear that the (US-installed regime) deliberately targets civilians.”

Last week, its military commander, Valery Zaluzhny, said “Russians and any other enemies must be killed.”

The empire of lies and its NATO vassals “turned (Nazified) Ukraine into testing grounds for their modern combat hardware in real warfare.”

“We want the whole world to know about falsehoods and double standards of (US/Western) pseudo democracies…”

They’re involved in “destroy(ing) countries and depriv(ing) whole regions of an opportunity for peaceful development” in pursuit of their imperial aims.

What’s going on is hugely “dangerous and short-sighted (by) bring(ing) the US and Russia to the brink of face-to-face confrontation.”

Zakharova knows but stopped short of stressing the reality of direct US-dominated NATO war on Russia throughout most of 2022 — what risks escalation to nuclear war.

The prospect of dominant Biden regime hardliners shifting from war on Russia to prioritizing restoration of peace and stability is virtually zero.

Moscow’s only option is smashing the made-in-the-USA, Nazi-infested, Ukrainian monster.

Rendering its power grid and parts of its rail network inoperable is a step in the right direction.

And this from Southfront on Tuesday, saying:

The Nazified regime’s “garrison in Maryinka (Donetsk) is on the verge of collapse.”

And this reality check, saying “Russia(’s) military…hold(s) (the) upper hand” along Donbass frontline positions.

They’re “advancing (along) almost all” frontline areas.

“The deplorable state of” regime troops in and around the strategically important town of Artemovsk “forces Kiev…to prepare (for) retreat” to avoid a greater bloodbath than already.

DPR head, Denis Pushilin, said control of the town will enable liberation of the republic’s northern areas from the scourge of Nazified occupation.

Separately on Monday, Vladimir Putin stressed the following, saying:

“Today’s rapidly changing global situation and emergence of new threats and challenges impose high demands on the entire system of Russia’s security agencies,” adding:

“This means that you need to significantly improve your work in key areas, and use your operational, technical and personnel potential to the fullest” — especially in new Russian regions under attack by Ukrainian Nazis as directed by their US master.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has “vast experience in countering terrorism,” Putin stressed, adding:

“Therefore, it is necessary to keep up efforts to prevent terrorist attacks in a system-wide and consistent way.”

Putin also stressed the importance of Russia’s counterintelligence agencies to show “utmost readiness and concentration.”

“It is necessary to put an end once and for all to activities of foreign special services, and to promptly identify traitors, spies and saboteurs.”

All of the above is necessary because of “(t)oday’s rapidly changing global situation…”

“The situation in…Donetsk…Lugansk…Kherson and Zaporozhye…is extremely complicated” — because of attacks by Ukrainian Nazis on these regions as orchestrated and directed by their US master. 

Their “people…Russian citizens, are counting on you and your protection.”

“And your duty is to do everything in your power to ensure their safety and respect for their rights and freedoms.”

These are the most perilous times in world history because of hegemon USA’s war on humanity.

It’s more likely to escalate further than ease. 

Stepping back from the brink is highly unlikely — especially with undemocratic Dems in charge.

Ongoing by hot and other means, the empire of lies has been using Ukrainian Nazified and conscript troops as proxy foot soldiers against Russia and its people since its 2014 coup in Kiev.

Since Russia’s liberating SMO began defensively in February, hegemon USA and key Western vassals have been directly involved in orchestrating and directing Ukraine’s cross-border aggression, including target selection.

Moscow’s only option is smashing the made-in-the-USA, Nazi-infested, Ukrainian monster.

Rendering its power grid and parts of its rail network inoperable is a step in the right direction.

And this from Southfront on Tuesday, saying:

The Nazified regime’s “garrison in Maryinka (Donetsk) is on the verge of collapse.”

And this reality check, saying “Russia(’s) military…hold(s) (the) upper hand” along Donbass frontline positions.

They’re “advancing (along) almost all” frontline areas.

“The deplorable state of” regime troops in and around the strategically important town of Artemovsk “forces Kiev…to prepare (for) retreat” to avoid a greater bloodbath than already.

DPR head, Denis Pushilin, said control of the town will enable liberation of the republic’s northern areas from the scourge of Nazified occupation.

Separately on Monday, Vladimir Putin stressed the following, saying:

“Today’s rapidly changing global situation and emergence of new threats and challenges impose high demands on the entire system of Russia’s security agencies,” adding:

“This means that you need to significantly improve your work in key areas, and use your operational, technical and personnel potential to the fullest” — especially in new Russian regions under attack by Ukrainian Nazis as directed by their US master.

Russia’s Federal Security Service (FSB) has “vast experience in countering terrorism,” Putin stressed, adding:

“Therefore, it is necessary to keep up efforts to prevent terrorist attacks in a system-wide and consistent way.”

Putin also stressed the importance of Russia’s counterintelligence agencies to show “utmost readiness and concentration.”

“It is necessary to put an end once and for all to activities of foreign special services, and to promptly identify traitors, spies and saboteurs.”

All of the above is necessary because of “(t)oday’s rapidly changing global situation…”

“The situation in…Donetsk…Lugansk…Kherson and Zaporozhye…is extremely complicated” — because of attacks by Ukrainian Nazis on these regions as orchestrated and directed by their US master. 

Their “people…Russian citizens, are counting on you and your protection.”

“And your duty is to do everything in your power to ensure their safety and respect for their rights and freedoms.”

These are the most perilous times in world history because of hegemon USA’s war on humanity.

It’s more likely to escalate further than ease. 

Stepping back from the brink is highly unlikely — especially with undemocratic Dems in charge.

From establishment on stolen Palestinian land in 1948, apartheid Israel has been a US/Western-supported machine for the manufacture of human rights abuses of virtually every shape and kind.

A fantasy democracy — never the real thing — long-suffering Palestinians on land between the Jordan River and Mediterranean Sea are victims of slow-motion genocide.

Outspoken critics of apartheid tyranny are banned.

Ones living in the Jewish state or Occupied Territories risk imprisonment on made up charges or none at all, targeted assassination or forcible deportation for invented reasons.

See below.

Every day is Kristallnacht in Occupied Palestine.

State terror is official policy for all Israeli regimes from inception.

Millions of subjugated Palestinians are collectively punished by racial discrimination, economic strangulation, mass arrests, detentions, curfews, roadblocks, checkpoints, separation walls, electric fences, other barriers, neighborhood incursions, crop destruction, bulldozed homes, land theft, ethnic cleansing, gulag imprisonment, and virtually all other forms of state terror for the crime of praying to the wrong god.

Besieged Gazans suffer most of all in the world’s largest open-air prison — terrorized at Israel’s discretion by ground incursions, aerial and offshore attacks.

Salah Hammouri is a French/Palestinian human rights lawyer for the Addameer Human rights and prisoner support group.

On Sunday, he was forcibly expelled from Israel after years of ruthless persecution.

Illegally revoking his residency status and deporting him was a war crime in flagrant breach of Fourth Geneva’s Article 49, stating the following:

“Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive.”

This action when undertaken constitutes “a horrifying escalation of Israel’s systematic practice of demographic engineering and ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from” land its regimes want for exclusive Jewish development and occupancy, Addameer stressed.

Held in administrative detention uncharged since March — after earlier arrests and imprisonment — Hammouri was forcibly boarded on a Sunday El Al flight to Charles de Gaulle airport — his hands and feet painfully shackled until arriving in Paris, monitored in flight by three Israeli agents.

Because of his human rights work, Hammouri and his family faced longstanding persecution, his deportation the latest shoe to drop.

In September 2020, 13 Palestinian human rights groups called for the UN to condemn the threat of his deportation on the phony pretext of “breach of allegiance” to the Jewish state.

At the time, Israel made clear its intention to revoke his Jerusalem residency and banishment from parts of the West Bank.

He was arbitrarily arrested, his wife, Elsa Lefort, and son illegally deported to France.

According to the Jewish state’s 1952 Entry into Israel Law — enacted to persecute Palestinians — the ruling regime’s interior minister may revoke the residency or bar entry into the country of anyone at his or her discretion for alleged “breach of allegiance” to the Jewish state.

This action breaches Fourth Geneva’s Article 68(3) and Hague Regulations’ Article 45 — affirming that protected people in occupied territory have no duty of allegiance to the Occupying Power.

Like hegemon USA and its Western vassals, apartheid Israel operates exclusively by its own rules — in flagrant breach of international law.

Because of his human rights activism, Hammouri faced years of Israeli persecution, intimidation, threats, repression and illegal imprisonment.

Explaining his ruthless mistreatment, Addameer explained the following:

It included “repeated arbitrary arrests and detention, years without charge or trial, beatings, family separation, spyware attacks, surveillance, and most recently, the stripping of his permanent residency rights.”

He “exhausted every remedy available in the Israeli political and legal system, only to be met by racist rulings that operate under the pretense of the law but exist in reality to maintain Israel’s racial domination over the Palestinian people.”

“For over a decade, (he) faced a persecution campaign aimed at his forced departure from his hometown of Jerusalem, beginning with his first imprisonment and through repeated arrests and systematic harassment afterward.”

Administrative detention uncharged and untried is a coercive form of “psychological…torture.”

Longstanding Israeli persecution of Palestinians is aided by US/Western political, economic and military support — making their ruling regimes complicit with Jewish state war crimes.

As an Addameer human rights attorney, Hammouri was greatly involved in aiding long-suffering Palestinians.

Like his ruthless mistreatment, they’ve endured violent arrests and imprisonment for being unwanted by the Jewish state.

A trampling on truth statement by Israel’s interior ministry falsely said the following about Hammouri:

“During his life he organized, inspired and planned to commit terror attacks…against citizens and well-known Israelis (sic).”

On Sunday, interior minister, (“little snakes”) Ayelet Shaked, said the following:

“I’m happy to announce that justice was served today (sic) and the terrorist (sic) Salah Hammouri was deported from Israel.”

Justifiably calling his deportation a “war crime,” Hammouri’s campaign said the following:

“Wherever a Palestinian goes, he (or she) takes with (them) these principles and the cause of (their people: (their) homeland carried with (them) to wherever (they) end up.”

Foreign ministry for longstanding human rights abuser France issued a hollow statement.

Pretending to back Hammouri while ignoring its history of war crimes, its support for Nazi-infested Ukraine and other abusive practices at home and abroad, it said the following:

The Macron regime has “taken full action, including at the highest level of the state, to ensure that Mr. Salah Hamouri’s rights are respected (sic), that he benefits from all legal remedies and that he can lead a normal life in Jerusalem, where he was born, resides and wishes to live (sic).”

Like other Western states, France has a long history of ignoring Palestinian rights in support of Israeli apartheid.

After arriving in Paris on Sunday and released from Israeli custody, Hammouri accused Israel of “ethnic cleansing.”

Calling his deportation an action “to show that nobody can resist” Jewish state tyranny, he vowed to contest his illegal expulsion, saying:

“I will continue my right to resist against this occupation until I have the right to go back to my country.”

“Be assured my beloved homeland that I coercively and forcibly leave you today.”

“I leave you today from prison to exile.”

“But rest assured, I will always remain the person you know.”

“Always loyal to you and your freedom.”

Have you ever wondered what makes a person snap? What causes a normal, quiet, everyday citizen, loving mother, or doting father to lose it all and fight like a caged animal? What can cause a small village to rise up and rebel against an oppressive police force and start killing them? What is the switch that gets flipped that causes a city to pour two million people into the streets, chanting and demanding to be heard by their government?

Lately it feels more and more as though we are on standing on the edge of some yawning precipice peering over the crest into darkness. What is more troubling to me is that we have been down this path before. The sense of unease is almost palpable to me sometimes; it is more evident if you are paying attention. If you are able to eliminate the white noise of the world for a minute; hit the pause button on the playlist of daily life for a while and look around, listen, you may start to recognize that you too are caught up in events that will soon change all our lives.

For several years I have felt an unsettling sense that we need to be prepared, that life is going to throw us a big, fat, greasy curve ball soon and we better not be caught napping. To try and proactively address that warning voice I started planning and taking steps to prepare my family to be able to weather events in the future. I am certainly not alone in this concern as you can easily see by the tremendous growth of the prepper movement. In the spectrum of probable events, there are a lot of potential scenarios. Natural disasters and emergencies occur every day all over the world, but you have to broaden your gaze and look to current events and history as well. One of the things that I think is a valid potential event to consider is a collapse of our way of life which leads to an authoritarian oppressive government.

Are we reaching a tipping point?

We have seen in recent events, by now almost too numerous to mention, the effects of a rising frustration with the way things are. It isn’t necessary to go into all of the individual reasons, but as a society there are more and more outpourings of frustration on a global scale. There are increasingly tightening restrictions against people. There is a manipulation of markets and the economy. There is a great increase in the loss of freedom and there is a more open antagonism and almost outright animosity by Government towards their people.

Governments exist either because they have come to power through force and violence or they have been elected and given power by the people. The force and violence crowd usually have their roots in the military and we like to call them Dictators. There have been a ton of them throughout history; Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Kim Jong iL and now his son, Saddam, Gaddafi, the list goes on and on. Dictators don’t care about the people and usually kill anyone who gets in their way. It is a fact that government has killed more people than any other cause, disease or reason.

The other side of the coin is what is usually called Democracies. I am lumping a lot of governments in here I know, but the democracies are usually elected and formed with the consent of the people with the noble goal of securing rights or protecting the people over whom they govern. Almost without fail however, Democratic Governments eventually do not want to answer to the people and at some point they most certainly will not be told what to do by the people to the point of ignoring the will of the people (for the people’s own good of course). Now these governments that are supposed to secure the liberties of their people are becoming more openly hostile to the same people they have sworn to defend. Funnily enough the democratically elected governments now seem to want to hang on to power with the same methods of force and violence as dictators. How else can you explain arming themselves with ammo, ignoring the constitution, purchasing assault vehicles and preparing to confiscate firearms?

When governments will steal money outright from the citizens in order to pay bills that were not incurred by the people we have a problem. When government spies on its people and uses that information against them punitively we have a problem. When Government uses the force of the military that was supposed to defend the people that was paid for by the people, for the purposes of killing the people, we have a big problem. When someone brings to light crimes by the government and is labeled as the one who is a danger, we have a problem.

The problem is that governments around the world are viewing their people as the problem and there really seems to be only one way throughout history that this is ever rectified. My fear is that we are already set on a course that won’t be changed with laws, great political leaders, or a return to the values of a golden age in time long past.

The Fine Line – The Straw that breaks the camel’s back

The fine line between someone who is a law-abiding citizen and a murderer is one that exists purely in our souls. There is nothing physical that is different from a person who follows the rules and someone who breaks them. The urge to pull the trigger isn’t something you can see and it isn’t a trait to test for, so it must be our own individual sense of right and wrong. Of good and evil.

I know that some will argue that a psychopath is definitely recognizable by character traits and maybe even brainwaves or chemistry. That may be true, but you can be a psychopath (clinically) without ever hurting anyone. By the same token, you can take a life while being perfectly “sane”.

If you hold a knife in your hand, you are just as capable of using that to stab or cut someone as the murderer in the next town, but that thought never enters the mind of an overwhelming majority of people. A baseball bat in your hands can easily be swung with great force connecting it to the back of a skull, but this thought never appears in our heads; that is unless we are forced into a corner. When a person is in desperate fear for their lives, the unspoken rules of right and wrong are broken. The processes that we follow every day are overridden in the cause of rage or self-preservation. What was unthinkable before is now very real, necessary and even righteous with the right circumstances.

When the right buttons are pushed, anyone can lose it. When the fear of dying or of losing someone you love is so overpowering, the “fine line” that has been keeping us sane, law-abiding and good is easily shattered. When this happens, all bets are off.

We as a people, a country are still rather firmly attached on the good side of this line. We have not yet completely been driven to abandon all hope and lash out. We have not yet been so harmed, have not gotten to the point that we have nothing to lose and are ready to lose it, but this may be coming in the future.

The force and violence that is being used now to quell the dissatisfaction of people globally is increasing. The methods to cease the complaining of the rabble has been relatively minor with some exceptions. Tear gas, rubber bullets, mace and batons only work up to a point though. When the time comes that people can no longer abide, there won’t be enough police to stop them using riot control techniques. The military doesn’t have enough people to stop the entire population unless those people peacefully agree to surrender, so what will they do? Do you believe any government will quietly step down and admit that they are obviously not speaking for the people anymore? No. They will resort to more force and violence and people will die. Either that or you have a coup like they had in Egypt and guess who took over to “restore order”? Yep, the Military.

What will be the inevitable response by the authorities?

The Chinese people who started to revolt against the police in their town did so because the authorities were “placing restrictions on their culture, language and religion”. China is no picnic compared to America and we clearly know they have lived through far worse oppression than we have, but this was the straw that broke the camel’s back for them?

The protests which turned into an estimated two million citizens of Brazil had started simply enough with a protest over a rise in the rates of public transportation.

In America, what will be the trigger that causes people to rise up and say we aren’t going to take this anymore and more importantly what will happen when/if we do?

What will happen if we don’t change the path we are on?

There is a quote that has always struck me as very sad and telling from Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn in his book The Gulag Archipelago. Solzhenitsyn was a Russian who was sentenced to 8 years in a Soviet prison camp for essentially writing things about Stalin that the government didn’t like. During this time in Soviet Russia, to stifle dissent, millions were killed or sent to prison camps. In this passage Solzhenitsyn is talking about regret that everyone felt because they simply went along with this tyranny and didn’t oppose it.

 “AND HOW WE BURNED IN THE CAMPS LATER, THINKING: WHAT WOULD THINGS HAVE BEEN LIKE IF EVERY SECURITY OPERATIVE, WHEN HE WENT OUT AT NIGHT TO MAKE AN ARREST, HAD BEEN UNCERTAIN WHETHER HE WOULD RETURN ALIVE AND HAD TO SAY GOOD-BYE TO HIS FAMILY? OR IF, DURING PERIODS OF MASS ARRESTS, AS FOR EXAMPLE IN LENINGRAD, WHEN THEY ARRESTED A QUARTER OF THE ENTIRE CITY, PEOPLE HAD NOT SIMPLY SAT THERE IN THEIR LAIRS, PALING WITH TERROR AT EVERY BANG OF THE DOWNSTAIRS DOOR AND AT EVERY STEP ON THE STAIRCASE, BUT HAD UNDERSTOOD THEY HAD NOTHING LEFT TO LOSE AND HAD BOLDLY SET UP IN THE DOWNSTAIRS HALL AN AMBUSH OF HALF A DOZEN PEOPLE WITH AXES, HAMMERS, POKERS, OR WHATEVER ELSE WAS AT HAND?… THE ORGANS WOULD VERY QUICKLY HAVE SUFFERED A SHORTAGE OF OFFICERS AND TRANSPORT AND, NOTWITHSTANDING ALL OF STALIN’S THIRST, THE CURSED MACHINE WOULD HAVE GROUND TO A HALT! IF…IF…WE DIDN’T LOVE FREEDOM ENOUGH. AND EVEN MORE – WE HAD NO AWARENESS OF THE REAL SITUATION…. WE PURELY AND SIMPLY DESERVED EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED AFTERWARD.”  – ALEKSANDR SOLZHENITSYN

Will this be our fate too? Will we slowly be conditioned to accept atrocities like this and to be completely defanged so that we can be herded into camps without so much as a whimper as well? That’s crazy you say! Is it? Right now, our government is hunting down someone who simply exposed how they (government) were illegally spying on all of us. Our government is buying arms and stockpiling weapons for use domestically not in some war. Our government has the IRS actively harassing a single political/opposition party. Our government has shown that they will lock down a town and go door to door while making the citizens stay cowered inside. Our government has stated that they can imprison anyone without cause for an indefinite amount of time.

Can you seriously argue that we aren’t headed down the same path as others have in our not too distant past?

This is not a call to armed Revolution, but I do think we should all be very wary of this course we are on and the echos of history. We should not be silent in the face of increasing oppression. We should not simply go along quietly because of the fear that we may get in trouble, or worse that we believe the government is only looking out for our best interests. You only need to look at the people in Poland who quietly went into the Warsaw ghettos. You don’t have to look any further than the Holocaust to see what quietly going along will get you.

This is not a fate that I will be bringing on my family.
