The False Flag Has Been Identified

 

 South Carolina, if you do not demand to impeach United States Senator Lindsey Graham, you are going to be responsible for the destruction of Western Civilization.

 

Not for the first time thus far in the conflict, accusations of false flag events involving radioactive material are flying, after Ukraine's President Zelensky accused Russia of plotting a "terrorist attack" on the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant which is to result in an intentional radiation leak, according to a Thursday video statement.

"Intelligence has received information that Russia is considering the scenario of a terrorist act at the Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant – a terrorist act with radiation leakage," he claimed. "Radiation has no state borders. Whomever it will hit is deterred only by the direction of the wind," Zelensky added.

The Ukrainian leader further claimed to have evidence to back his assertions about the plot, but the Kremlin has blasted all of this as "another lie". Russia has also stressed that an international team of UN-backed nuclear experts have been on-site observing safety protocol and proper operations.

Zelensky is in essence alleging Moscow is plotting a false flag attack on the very facility its own forces have long been occupying and controlling. Russian forces have overseen the local staff which keeps the nuclear plant, Europe's largest, in operation. It had for the past year-and-a-half been subject to sporadic shelling, with both sides frequently blaming the other for putting all of Europe at risk.

Zelensky said he received intelligence about the impending major security incident, and has passed it along to other countries including the United States, the Europeans, and even China, Brazil and India.

"This time it should not be like Kakhovka," Zelensky also said in the video, a reference to the hydroelectric dam which blew up and resulted in devastating, deadly flooding in the southern region earlier this month. Kiev has maintained Russian forces did it, while skeptics have noted it would be tantamount to Moscow shooting itself in the foot, given the dam's destruction created a huge risk to Crimea's water supply, as even the NY Times has underscored.

While Zelensky offered no evidence or any concrete details to back his new and alarming warnings surrounding the Zaporizhzhia power plant, he concluded his video message by saying, "the world has been warned, so the world can and must act."

 This “intelligence” comes just as Ukraine’s widely hyped counter-offensive is failing miserably (as predicted, including by Pentagon leaks). A dangerous moment.

(The weekend edition of the German business daily headlines: 

"This isn't a counter-offensive. It is a bloody crash test.") 

 

The Ukrainian Counter-Offensive Had No Chance. NATO Failed To Explain That.

The 'west' pushed Ukraine into a hopeless counter-offensive based on false assessments and wild expectations.

'Western' training for the mobilized Ukrainian forces did not bring up more capable soldiers than Soviet training would have done. Those who watched NATO stumble in Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq and Libya should have recognized that.

Choosing the term "counter-offensive" is not neutral. It’s a communication device suggesting that the Russians have launched an "offensive" to seize Ukraine ... In reality, the Russians have never attempted to take Kiev and have no intention of invading Ukraine.

 But Volodymyr Zelensky has interrupted the negotiations he was conducting with Moscow and enacted a law prohibiting their resumption.

I get emotional in the morning

 ... and I haven't even had my coffee yet. 

Now, if only I can get my US Congress to get off it's collective behind and follow their oath of office. We have a constitutional crisis currently. Our executive branch - read that as the State Department - has promoted war in the Ukraine since 2014, spending well over a hundred billion dollars, in fact, ably supported by our media machine and a captive, NATO apparatus.

Not to discount the thousands of deaths incurred due that scurrilous strategy.

Well, US citizens? If you're of a like mind and see this post, before it disappears, contact them to assertively let your feelings be known. If enough participate, even from the safety of your own home, they will relent. I know. I've seen it succeed. You might even try this one, simple trick;                                                                  

Send faxes en masse to your Congressperson. The reason being, faxes are so  ... tactile. They make a right bloody mess of the office floor, while a career politician's sensitivities run to one goal; re-election.  I've always said, 

"The US Congress is the weakest link in the chain."   

Rattle it.

Now, just look at these kids. they give one hope, don't they?

I'd just spent time analyzing my troublesome laptop with a computer tech, online, in the winter of 2014. This guy was different than any I'd spoken to before. He'd just recommended a competitor over his own software. I wanted to know more about the man.

"Where are you from, friend?"

"Ukraine."

His tone belied a weight as though burdened with some calculation - I'd heard of trouble. Not many others had. I couldn't quite phrase the question, fresh on my mind, uncertain as I was in how to frame it.
 

All I could muster was to ask about the weather. Where I live we boast of our Latitude as though it's some great fete to survive such extremes.

Boris Yeltsin standing on a tank

I still have this powerful mental image of Boris Yeltsin standing on a tank.

I don't recall any one photo in particular. Vaguely, perhaps ...

I imagine him aged and weakened by his own political chicanery and alcoholism.

The latter is rumor, not substantiated by more than the dire nature of the situation.

He'd nearly sold the country out from under its citizens to the New York banking cartel.

His Dachau, security and family were assured, from his share of IMF loans diverted to he and the accomplices. '98, wasn't it? Shortly thereafter, the banker's cabal lost their asses as well as their shirts, only to be made whole again. The ones who survived ....

That must make Bill Browder late to the party, any trace of gravitas light in substantial proofs of his invention of the Magnitsky plot to commit tax fraud. Eventually, John McCain carried his water, loyal to whatever his captains of industry would demand. Nations followed suit, made paper tigers of their own promotion.

I can't recall the epiphany Boris experienced, if there were one, the realization he'd been horn swaggered into his own peculiar boondoggle, or, to whatever Gulag he was about to commit his fellow man.

All that was required was he maintain the Lie.

Was it the day, the field, or the realization Russian soldiers under his command were about to mow down his comrades and sovereign kin? Did he struggle through the fog of war, or had he felt struck by a bolt of lightning?

Could those grunts see past that rotten duty the angst in Yeltsin's blood shot eye, climbed up in plain sight on that spartan Russian tank, surrounded by housewives and uncles, the odd veteran waiting for the inevitable, and willful children out on a lark ... ?

Does dissent kill, or is it suicidal? On that day, neither.

countless raindrops to measure
the length of a day

a veil of frost
tints Johari's window

ranks of children
prone and obedient
