Since I, kind of, ‘complained’ about a sudden drop in ‘traffic’ to this blog, with an elaborate explanation drawing your attention to what it might ‘mean’, I owe you an update. Because, as sudden as the ‘traffic’ fell, it just peaked to new record highs in the same short span of time. Now, I use a ‘hosting service’, which is providing me a graphic depiction of the ‘traffic’ generated, split between ‘unique visitors’, and ‘page views’, where visitors look at more than a single contribution. I do not have the tools to do an ‘in depth’ analysis of the ‘traffic’ to this blog, save from an option to block obvious ‘Bots’. Nor do I feel the need to study who you are, and what your motives might be to visit this blog.
My inexpert assumption from this sudden drop, followed by a steep ascent, is that you can forget the assumptions I shared with you previously about a connection between what I was witnessing, and developments in Ukraine. When the ‘traffic’ was depressed, on the last day, there was an uptick in the number of ‘page views’, which suggests some kind of ‘vetting’ which did not reveal anything untoward, with the subsequent release. Again, without ‘full disclosure’ to me, *IF* that was what happened. Or maybe nothing like that came to pass. An administrative ‘glitch’, with a belated correction, adding ‘hits’ recorded previously to the data presented yesterday. I felt like sharing this information to avoid unfounded rumors, where I want to be part of the solution, and not part of the problem.
Further escalation, with the US announcing the delivery of longer-range missiles for NATO/Ukraine to be used in the war with Russia, was previously labeled a ‘Red Line’ by Russia. So, why poke the bear a little more? Or are we witnessing self-restraint among the decision makers within NATO, who are dying to send everything they’ve got, and engage openly, but they can’t, because they understand that support for their war would collapse immediately? Left with no other option than to ‘nudge’ us into ‘World War Three’, they are taking us there step by step. Famously George Soros wrote in 1993 that merging NATO’s ’tech’ and planning with Eastern Europe’s ‘manpower’, solved the problem of the sensitivities in the ‘West’ to ‘Body Bags’, which has people wondering if he was a true visionary, or that he is truly ‘well connected’. Still, opposition to war with Russia, or at least reluctance, has to be overcome to make it happen.
This highlights the problem with ‘Red Lines’. They suggest that if they are crossed, the offended party wil simply ‘Nuke’ the bejesus out of the offender. In reality, a more ‘measured’ response is far more likely. If you steal an apple, you crossed a ‘Red Line’, but few nations feel the need for a beheading to make sure it won’t happen again. But the problem in this case, is that the offender is the USA, and their NATO-sidekick, while they are waving from the grandstand with their rainbow flags, pretending they are innocent. Very much the same problem as with fighting crime, when the ‘operational criminal’ gets his of her ass kicked, but the ‘Don’ escapes prosecution.
Anyone who read ‘One Nation Under Blackmail’ has been made familiar with truckloads of ‘names’ and involved nations, and how something like ‘The Enterprise’ came to fruition, and why only a few ever faced the music, only to be pardoned after their conviction, to return to the center of power not all that much later. The ‘Dons’ do not give a damn when their underlings are mowed down, or spend the rest of their lives in prison. The ‘Heads of the Families’ presenting themselves as ‘NATO’ threw Ukraine under the bus, as advocated by the ‘RAND Corporation’ and other ’ThinkTanks’, in order to ‘Get Putin’, and cut-up (colonize) Russia. What they are hoping for, is that Russia will respond to long-range missiles reaching Russian territory by further destroying Ukraine. Despite the fact that ‘Moscow’ feels strongly that the people of Ukraine are the victims of nefarious games played by NATO which are taking the Ukrainian people for granted. And not only the Ukrainians who are trusting ‘Moscow’ to come to their rescue, but even those who hate their guts.
It doesn’t really matter whether you object to this perception, or that you understand how ‘feeding’ the Russians in order to ‘Overextend’ them, so as to collapse the Russian economy and standing of Putin personally in Russia, is a very dangerous gamble. As long as you are able to understand that the Russians came to see it this way from well before last year, when they launched their ‘SMO’, you are accountable for the consequences if you were in a position where you actively participated in this scheme. Even if you didn’t design it. When, and how, Russia will ‘Get Even’ when NATO sends the weapons mentioned, crossing their ‘Red Lines’, I cannot tell you. But forget Ukraine. They will do to Ukraine what they will have to do, so as to prevent that it will be used as a ‘Proxy’ ever again. But for delivering weapon systems which cross their ‘Red Lines’, it will be the NATO-countries themselves, or associated, who are going to get hit. Our military are active all over the world, so the Russians do not need to strike a NATO-country. They could ‘hit’ at our vulnerable energy supply, or trade routes. They could locate ‘Proxy’-forces of their own, willing and able to harm our military, food- or energy supply, or business interests, and make us pay. But sooner or later, they will have to strike individual NATO-countries who are already deeply involved, offering their territory for training, logistics and maintenance in support of the war as it spins out of control.
Like with ‘The Enterprise’, there is no oversight of what the ‘Dons’ in our part of the world are up to. Trading in coke, weapons, political influence, and raw power is detached from countries and alliances, and ‘Iran/Contra’ exposed the entire sordid ‘off the books’ organization, with Israel supplying weapons to Ayatollah-led Iran, and operators within ‘The Enterprise’ bringing coke into the US for the ‘Crystal Meth’ market, to earn money for their clandestine support of the far-right ‘Contras’ in Nicaragua, indispensable for the network which sought to replace the ‘Medellin-Cartel’, with its ‘Panama-hub’, with the ‘Cartel’ from Cali, which meant they had to take out their own ‘asset’ Noriega. That was what the American invasion of Panama was all about. Way back before the poppy-fields in Afghanistan returned to prominence, delivering record crops while NATO held sway over the country. Morals are for Dummies and Herds. Like I said previously, I list myself as a ‘Free Thinker’, the dislodged individual not keen to volunteer for a chance to see the Ukrainian Meat-Grinder up close, and bemoaning the fate of those poor people who never understood they didn’t have a chance, since they were only co-opted in a ‘Game Plan’ that listed them as expandables in order to ‘Stop Putin’ for taking his country out of the ‘Family Orbit’.
