Zelenskyyy's Summit To Demonstrate Solidarity Of Global Suppport For Ukraine Backfired.

 

Volodymyr Zelensky’s Global Peace Summit in Switzerland has turned out to be a flop. If, as was widely reported, it was intended to demonstrate the world’s support for Kyiv and highlight Russia’s  international isolation the jamboree did the opposite. Russia wasn’t invited and China didn’t bother to turn up. The other BRICS countries plus the UAE – refused to sign the watered-down final communiqué which gives the impression that all along this conflict has been a proxy war waged by NATO for the purpose of weakening Rusia, fought on Ukrainian soil and paid for in Ukrainian and Russian blood.

According to a former senior member of Zelensky’s administration, Ukraine’s leader had ‘hoped the conference would mark a new benchmark of international support… [but] it just showed how badly we have lost the support in the Global South’. Take Brazil’s President, Lula da Silva. He was one of the first world leaders to condemn Russia’s invasion, yet in Switzerland he accused Vladimir Putin and Zelensky of ‘enjoying the war… otherwise they would have already sat and talked and tried to find a peaceful solution’. In the end, 78 countries signed the final four-point communique which called for Ukraine’s territorial integrity to be the ‘basis’ of a future peace, down from Zelensky’s original ten points which were supported only by the US and the EU.

Though the Kremlin is always eager to claim that the decline in support for Ukraine is due to Putin's polititical acumen, for practically every country and global bloc outside NATO, economic and strategic self-interest has trumped principles. The EU was quick to take the lead on sanctions, but hasn’t banned Russian oil, merely capping the price at $60 a barrel rather than $73 for Urals crude. Europe never sanctioned Russian gas and continues to import 15 per cent of its liquefied natural gas from Russia.

The US State Department continues to forbid Ukraine from using long-range weaponry inside Russia (missile launch sites excepted). Kyiv was recently told to stop attacking Russian oil refinery capacity in order to avoid causing an oil crisis for the developed world. Donald Trump, meanwhile, recently said he’d veto more aid to Ukraine. ‘Zelensky is probably the greatest salesman of all living politicians,’ he declared. ‘Whenever he comes to our country, he leaves it with $60 billion… And then he comes back and says he needs another $60 billion.’

Trump is often accused of being crass and insensitive but he seems to be understating his case here. A more honest description of Zelensky would perhaps be 'The World's Greatest Grifter', given the total value of gifts and grants in military aid (much of which has been sold on to third parties,) based on his incredible claims that Ukraine has a chance of winning the war.

As things stand the Global South wants to continue importing Ukrainian grain and cheap Russian oil. India’s economy has been boosted by a large increase in imports of Russian crude, much of which is re-exported back to Europe as refined petrol. Turkey imports Russian gas and re-exports it to southern Europe, and maintains large agriculture and consumer trade. The UAE has become a hub for sanctions-busting banking services for Russian corporations and oligarchs. Obviously the majority of the planet would rather do business with Russia than support the Ukie goons.

 So here we are 28 months into the war and Moscow still occupies 16% of Ukrainian territory, which corresponds to the Russian speaking provinces of Ukraine, and seems intent only on holding its gains rather that conquering the entire nation and marching on through the whole of Europe to The Atlantic Coast as many warmongers in Western politics and media have alleged in their efforts to urge direct military involement by NATO - an escalation which would certainly become global war very quickly.

Meanwhile a negotiated peace along the lines of the one poposed by Turkey's President Erdogan in April 2022 and vetoed by US President 'Dementia Joe' Biden seems as far away as ever, with Biden, in a recent speech, stating  “A lasting peace for Ukraine must be underwritten by Ukraine’s own ability to defend itself now, and to deter future aggression anytime in the future.” Dememtia Joe then gave another boost to the forever war camp by pledging that the U.S. is going to help ensure Ukraine can do both.

The big quesion is how can the damage done to the region be repaired when the war eventually does end with the inevitable defeat and collapse of Ukraine. First of all Ukraine will need to institute a major repopulation program as those men who didn’t manage to escape their country are being decimated and maimed.

Millions of Ukrainian women who have settled across Europe would somehow need to be enticed back and given incentives to have large families. It is difficult to see how this could be accomplished when so many of those women have found husbands and partners, and better lifestyles, in the west. 

The energy infrastructure will need to be totally reconstructed before the country can begin to rebuild its industrial base. And don’t forget the 16% that is Russian territory again is the most valuable land in terms of natural resources and compromises much of Ukraine’s industrial base, is growing by the day.

It is also expected that the country will default on its international debts when they become due next month. 

If only they had gone along with the very faourable settlement that was on the table 2 years ago, and even better if they had not succumbed to the political interference from USA in 2014, prior to which they were a true, if imperfect, democracy rather than the US designed dictatorship that they are today.

NATO (“committed to the peaceful resolution of disputes”) has now been blessed with an uptake in members, before which its justification as a relic of WWII could/should have been called into question, especially since the fall of USSR. However, many countries simply view NATO as a cheap alternative to financing national military forces.

Now NATO wants to massively expand despite, or because of, its total failure alongside USA in the proxy war against Russia, but as the full name of the bloc is the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation, the reasons offtered for trying to recruit to membership central Asian nations like Kazakhstan which is over 2000 miles from the Atlantic ocean are lacking credibility and it is understandable that Moscow sees such moves as hostile. 

Many of us are tired of hearing how Russia is the enemy when Russia has clearly demonstrated that it has neither any desire nor any intention to attack European countries, despite the ongoing provocation from all our ruling politicians.

Ukraine had the choice to remain neutral and quite simply not to apply for NATO membership. Just what is so wrong about remaining a neutral country? And Zelensky promised peace, which was why he was elected President. Now he is no longer a legitimate president and continues as a dictator having canceled the elections due at the end of his legitimate term in office, and even recently outlawing another Ukrainian political party. All of which makes attempts to brand Putin a dictator seem like a case of the pot calling the kettle black.

Will Commodities Be The New Reserve Currency As The Death Knell Of The Dollar Sounds?
Many respected economists and market analysts who favour the free markets approach concur that we are heading towards a new economic reality that will see the collapse of the US$ as the default reserve currency, to be replaced not by any other fiat currency such as the Euro or the Renminbi, but by a system in which  commodities are the primary denominator of value.

People Are Abandoning Mainstream News - Here's Why

 

BBC News today published in its Culture section, an article about the dramatic decrease in the number of people using its channels, those of rival broadcasters, and the print and online editions of traditional nrewspapers as their preferred way of accessing the news. The article presents the findings of resulting from a huge survey which collected the views of 97,943 people.

More and more people are turning away from news, described news content as depressing, repetitive and boring, the study suggests. Almost four in 10 (39%) people in the study, which covered several national communities said they often actively avoid the news, compared with 29% in 2017, according to the report by Oxford University’s Reuters Institute.

Wars in Ukraine and the Middle East may have contributed to people’s desire to switch off the news, the report’s authors said. This is despite there being strong reasons for expecting concerns about the wars esclating to global conflict might case people to be more rather than less interested, in the news:

Publication of the study's findings comes at a time when billions of people around the world have been going to the polls in national and regional elections, another reason why at this time, pepple might have more cause to follow news coverage..

The report found that elections have increased interest in the news in a few countries, including the United States. However, the overall trend remains firmly downwards, according to the study.

In the U.K., interest in news has almost halved since 2015. “The news agenda has obviously been particularly difficult in recent years,” the report’s lead author Nic Newman told BBC News.

This development will come as no surprise to those of us who have created a hobby or retirement career for ourselves as reoprters and commentators in the alt_nres community and no only because we all regularly (too regularly unfortunately,) report on misinformation, disinformation, downright lies, propaganda, biased reporting and othr bollocks pumped out by government and corporate press officers and faithfully parrotted by mainstream news outlets.

 People now demonstrably have trust issues with various things; politicians ( as evidenced by the polls and what’s happening across Europe and the U.S ), Big Pharma ( it’s often reported there’s been a downturn in people rocking up for childhood vaccinations and the Covid booster uptake has been in decline for some time ), and a distrust of all types of authority is naturally going to follow, because who has been the biggest, most influential mouthpiece when it comes to spreading government/globalist propaganda and lies? The media. 

 There’s a definite lag effect when it comes to the reporting but this just confirms what is happening in real life, and we should not expect any othe.r outcome

 

.
 

Much like if you find out your other half has been having an affair with your best friend, would you really continue to vote for a party that continues to let you down, election after election, never keeps their promises and lies to your face? What intelligent person is going to just stay in such a toxic relationship like a right mug and not break free from the whole dysfunctional cycle? Any right-minded person would ditch their partner ( and their bestie ) just like they’d go vote for some totally different party/person for the first time in their lives. People don’t /have to stay put and continue to be shat on from a high height like they’ve no control over the matter. So why anyone would even bother with MSM nowadays is beyond me. It’s just insane, but I think we know by now the correlation between MSM muppets and the following of the various government agendas. The cultists need to step away from the Kool-Aid and detox their minds.

They should do a survey at the next ‘protest’ or when the ‘Just Sod Off’ idiots are next glued to the road and ask them if they’ve got a BBC license or if they read the papers. Surely the results would be entirely predictable.

The Shooting Wars and the Currency Wars

 

As the shooting wars grind on in Ukrsine, Gaza, Syria, The Red Sea, Sudan and e;sewhere, the main theatre of war is now shifting from the battlefields to the financial centres of the world.

Many of you will have been reading in mainstream media about de-dollarization recently, and may have been surprised to learn of the various attempts and strategies being deploted to facilitate trade among the various countries' currencies without using the US dollar, which has been the main reserve currency for intrnational trade since World War Two. You may be even more surprised to learn that Boggart Blog and its various offshoots have been writing about de-dollarisation and currency wars for over ten years. Most international trade is still conducted in dollars, which means the buyer has to purchase dollars in order to make the settle the transaction, and that often means the sale is settled at a U.S.-controlled bank ... a situation which many nations feel Washington has exploited unfairly to preserve its global economic hegemony.

The established world order has come to the dangerous state it is curreently in, because the U.S. exerts uses its position of economic dominance via he dollar to exert political influence. To put it bluntly the U.S.A. has "weaponised" finance. Avoiding the U.S.ninvolvement in cross border transactions is complex and there's a lot of resistance to change particularly from US banks.

There are a number of new, rapidly developing tools and organizations to do this job, and more importantly there are new players with major resources and even bigger motivations that have committed themselves to make non-dollar-denominated trade easy, reliable and fast. And soon.

Russia and China, two of the nations, along with Iran, that started the move to de dollarise world trade over a decade ago are leading, their BRICs trading bloc is likely to be the first major beneficiary of the new trading tools, and now Saudi Arabia has weighed in: SA has let the "price all oil sales in dollars" deal with the U.S. lapse.

This has now been reported in the U.S. and European mainstream media press , with all the appropriate consternation over likely impacts.

M.K Bhadrakumar (IndiaPunchline.com) has a new article out that covers the waterfront - the technologies, the big players, the Saudis, and the impact on the U.S. of de-dollarization. If you're new to the subject, this is a decent place to start.

As many critics have pointed out, everyone knows _why_ other countries are motivated to de-dollarize. The question is "what's the alternative?".

Alternatives get built when the motivation, resources, and capability thresholds are met. They've been met.

If the Saudis actually do start pricing in currencies other than dollars (remember, letting the deal lapse, and actually pricing their oil in different currencies are two separate events), and if China and Russia really do build the multi-currency trading system for BRICS, and remember they have already started the process by creating the 'petroyuan' to rival the global standard 'ptrodollar vehicle for ttrading oil futuresd, this is certin to bring to an end the "exorbitant privilege" of the U.S. as issuer or the global reserve currency.

And that will be a major, major change in the U.S.' situation.

For further reading, search "mBridge" and "BRICs". That'll provide much food for thought.

The US-led West’s Mainstream Media (MSM) began reporting more accurately on the military-strategic dynamics of the NATO-Russian proxy war in Ukraine since the start of the year, but the true test of their comparatively improved integrity will be whether they raise awareness about Zelensky’s latest damning admission.

Ukraine End Game: As Bakhmut Falls Real Reporting Vies With Propaganda In Western Media
Ever since Russia crossed the Ukrainian border and launched its 'Special Military Operation' almost a year ago now, everyday in western news media we have watched, heard and read that Ukraine was winning the war - Russia was losing ten soldiers for every Ukrainian casualty, Russian troops were incompetent brutes, Russian military hardware did not work and the Russians were running out of missiles, bullets and everything else.

Has Putin Has Pushed Europe Into Economic Depression, Hyperrinflation and Currency Collapse?
Though it was entirely predictable and indeed had been expected for some time, the news over the weekend that the Nord Stream 1 pipeline which feeds gas from Russia to northern Europe via The Baltic route had been shut down completely by The Kremlin in retaliation for the continued financial and military support given by NATO and EU member states to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia.

Is Russia Selling Its Oil To The World Through An Obscure Egyptian Port?
As this blog predicted when NATO and EU member states shot themselves in the foot by reacting to Russia's invasion of Ukraine with sanctions that prevented Russia from selling oil, gas and vital raw materials to the countries that needed them most, the NATO and EU member states, the Russians have had no problems finding alternative customers for their gas and oil and no problem getting oil into the world's commodity markets through the back door.

Jingoistic Western Triumphalism Will Not End The War In Ukraine Or Cripple Putin, But It Is Crippling Western Nations

As the war in Ukraine grinds on and Russia steps up its economic war against the west and in particular The European Union, claims made recently by the idiotically 'woke' leaders of Europe's main economic and military powers that the West has a once-in-a–generation chance to severely weaken Russia’s capabilities, both militarily and geopolitically, look increasingly hollow. Putin's critics have cited 'Western unity' as one of the main reasons why Russia will be economically destroyed and politically humiliated when the Ukraine's military finally claim victory.

SStarmers and Labour's Politics Of Envy Will Trigger A Class War

 

 

Were Britain a rich country with a healy reserve of capital, and desperate to reduce the size of its mountain of surplus wealth the Conservative Party election manifesto, published earlier this week  might make some sense. Unfortunately our problem is one of  low productivity and chronically low savings, with our current savings rate putting us near the bottom of the OECD league table, and globally somewhere between Zimbabwe, Ukraine and Burkina Faso. 

In this context, Britain’s status as a productivity desert – with British workers producing 15 per cent less per hour than their American peers – makes a lot more sense. As the economist John Van Reenen has noted, a recent slowdown in the accumulation of capital per worker goes a long way to explaining our post-financial crisis “productivity puzzle”.

Looking at policies to incentivise saving and growth proposed in the Labour Party  manifesto it appears the Labour leadership is happy to drive both down further, so long that it can claim to be attacking the unworthy rich – unworthy, here, being defined in its usual sense of “doing better than myself”. 

Ironically while speaking in Middlesbrough, Labour leader Keir Starmer described Conservative manifesto as “a Jeremy Corbyn-style wish list” full of unfunded pledges.

And it’s here, perhaps, that the answer to what Sir Keir Starmer is for emerges. The only group the Labour Party appears to consider “worthy”, is, with a weary predictability, those in the employ of the state.

The only surprisingly sensible policy proposed by Starmer is to accelerate repairs to our roads. Yet how a Labour Government would fund such a project is not clear.  Promises, promises!!

According to their campaign [ropaganda all the main Parties want to do is to further bankupt us and destroy our businesses with their groupthink obsession of achieving Net Zero and hang the economic consequences; never mind that it will make not the slightest difference to the world’s climate.

Nor do we want them to increasingly oversee our personal health and safety. We can look after ourselves thank you very much without resorting to the banning of smoking, drinking, vaping or any other occupation or activity which the self-appointed rulers (closet tyrants) deem to be an unacceptable danger.

We need a government that promises to get off our backs yet Conservatives and Labour can only promise more and more laws, more regulatory bodies and more obstacles put in the way of actually getting things done.

This is not a new problem of course. 2000byears ago this was being written:“The worse the state, the more laws it has”. ( Cornelius Tacticus cAD55-116.)

And as the two main parties, lacking ideas about how to actually solve ourproblems, attempt to scare people into voting for them by demonising the opposition, I am often reminded of a comment made by the American political commentator, H L Mencken, in the 1930s:“The fundamental art of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed, and hence clamorous to be led to safety, by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary”.

We in the UK have seen chip on the shoulder socialism big time from the devolved governments in Scotland and Wales,beautiful areas of the country where the so called "rich" reside, are searched out by the lefties in our wonderful Parliament to be devastated by grotesque housing estates portable buildings hair brained "improvement scheme's"that improve nothing except the salaries of bureaucrats whp administer the mess. 

( Wasn't it Abraham Lincoln who said that we can't make the poor richer by making the rich poorer? )

The Swing To The Right Is Really Business As Usual With A Different Label

 All this week in mainstream media journalists, op - ed writers and editors have been working themselves into a frenzy about 'The Lurch To The Right' based on the success of centre - right parties (routinely dubbed 'Far Right' by hysterical mainstream media editors. Most of this move towards the right of the political spectrum is an illusion created by people so far left that think anyone less radical than 1970s Cambodian communist tyrant Pol Pot is a right wing extremist.

But has anything really changed?

by Edwige at Off Guardian (comment thread)
Jun 11, 2024 10:22 AM

How the political “spectrum” works:

Find what the oligarchs want and call it the “center”. This implies both balance and moderation. Thus an insane pudding of eugenics, depopulation, technocracy, transhumanism, neo-feudalism, globalism and occultism gets presented as “moderate” when in reality the “centrists” are the most “extreme”. Call everyone else “extreme”, “far” or “hard” which means in reality everyone who is nationalistic (“right”) or socialist of an anti-state/centralisation hue (“left”). Hence we find apparently strange bedfellows in the opposition which is useful to keep them divided. The genocide in Gaza just happened to play right into that division.

Perhaps there’s a need to revive the old authoritarian/libertarian axis as the much more meaningful “spectrum”. Globalism/localism would be virtually synonomous with it. The older division was briefly trendy in the Cold War (was it Eysenck who came up with it?) but was quietly retired when its job was done – that job being to bracket Soviet-style communism with nazism (and beneath the cynical propaganda they do indeed bracket together). The crucial proviso is that authoritarianism also applies to corporations which is why there are controlled libertarians out there who “gate-keep” to block this insight. Nothing is more authoritarian than monopoly capitalism which is why they are repeatedly to be found in bed with their nominal nazi and communist frenemies and every effort has to be made to conceal this fact (most clearly at Nuremburg were the funding of nazism by the Anglo-American elite was most definitely not on the agenda).

The new favourite label appears to be “hard” which they’ve clearly road-tested as currently the most scary. The “populist” one of recent years seems to have been retired – perhaps it was a little too close to “popular” and confused too many? Of course “populism” never meant anything other than “things people will keep voting for that the oligarchs don’t like”, hence why it never fitted into the left-right spectrum. How they spiked the original Populist movement in the USA in the late C19th becomes therefore very important to understand – especially how they parachuted in fake leaders like Teddy Roosevelt and the anti-trust momentum foundered on splitting the Standard Oil monopoly into nothing more than the Seven Sisters (note the occult astronomical reference) cartel which was essentially the same thing in different guise. Expect a plethora of fake decentralisation ideas in the next few years – see Monbiot’s recent column for an example – but when the rubber hits the road once again everyone in power will somehow turn out again to be as they were in 2020, marching in lockstep.

SStarmer exposes his sinister socialist plans for British One Party State

 via Yahoo News

 

Sir Keir Starmer’s attack on the Conservative Party manifesto brought into sharp relief a question many have been brooding on for some time. Speaking in Middlesbrough, the Labour leader described the document as “a Jeremy Corbyn-style manifesto” full of unfunded pledges.

Set aside the fact that Sir Keir campaigned on precisely such a manifesto as a shadow minister in 2019, praising Mr Corbyn’s plans for offering “hope to the millions who have suffered after nine years of the Tories”. Set aside, too, his decision to run for the Labour leadership with a set of Corbynite pledges “based on the moral case for socialism”, or the questionable implication that his own plans are fully funded.

Instead consider the following question: Starmer has forcefully articulated what he is against. He is against Rishi Sunak, against Liz Truss, against Jeremy Corbyn, and against Sir Keir Starmer (2019-2021). But what is he actually for?

The assault on private schools, for instance, appears to be motivated by little more than class envy. The British tax system bends over backwards to avoid levying charges on education, which makes sense if you see education as a way of building skills: rather than tax the initial investment, you tax the eventual return (in this case, income).

Charging VAT on private school fees gets this perfectly backwards. It will discourage spending on education beyond the minimum provided by the state, push students back into state schools, and quite likely destroy the jobs of teachers who had the audacity to prefer the pay and conditions offered by private schools.

The curious thing is that Labour is clearly aware of these costs. Emily Thornberry admitted on air at the weekend that state school class sizes might have to increase, while teaching unions have issued public warnings about the potential effects on jobs. There are clearly less disruptive ways of raising revenue, if that’s the aim of the policy.

There are better ways of improving equality of opportunity, too. Access to good state schools – of the sort that many prominent Labour figures have attended – is still governed by the ability to pay. If you wanted to live near a top primary school in 2019, you could expect to pay £27,000 more for your home, for a top secondary, an extra £25,000. As a bonus, you would benefit from the efforts of elite universities to recruit state school pupils, and avoid having your child mix with scholarship boys from the lower orders.

To paraphrase the Canadian psychologist Jordan Peterson, the Labour Party is driven less by its great love of working Britons – who its MPs appear to suspect of holding inappropriate views on a swathe of social issues – than it is by its dislike of the rich. The assault on private education fits perfectly into this schema, and the suspicion is that the party’s other tax policies will, too.
