Putin Recognizes Donbass Republics, Sends Russian Military to 'Denazify' Ukraine

[Ryan]

An interesting article here by Alexander Dugin in which he examines the factional power dynamics of the NATO-Russia conflict using Zbigniew Brzezinski's "Grand Chessboard" analogy:

Chess of war

Let us look at the main actors in the war unfolding in Ukraine. Here we can refer to the 'geopolitical chessboard' metaphor introduced by Zbigniew Brzezinski. Obviously, the territory of Ukraine, and to some extent Russia, is a 'chessboard' on which the global geopolitical confrontation is...

www.geopolitika.ru

Each macro-figure has before it a fairly clear picture of what is happening, with which all other figures agree in principle. That is, they all act according to certain algorithms, which are inscribed in the objective structure of the confrontation, about which they have no illusions. Everyone understands who is fighting with whom and for what objectives.

Ukraine is just a territory, a chessboard - with its own characteristics, topography and topology, but it is a pure background. It is neither a figure nor a subject. Everything is decided outside of it and regardless of it.

Military, political, economic, social, diplomatic, information and technological processes are closely interconnected and form a rather orderly system, despite the spontaneity of war. All 6 macro-figures can be taken to understand how these systems are configured and how their different parts are interconnected.

But this general agreement with the objective geopolitical framework goes no further. Each subject in the decision-making process moves according to its own logic and the very fact of this movement is capable of changing the whole picture under certain circumstances. For example, the decision on partial mobilisation in Russia, its timing and even its details, affects the entire system. Obviously, the party of delayed defeat in Russia resonated best with the collective West, but once it happened, events began to unfold at a different pace. The same applies to the other major decisions of this war: offensives, retreats, defences, attacks, terrorist attacks, bombing of military and civilian targets on the enemy's territory, and so on. The irregularity of the situation is that the territory of the real enemy in this war - the collective West - remains perfectly safe for now, while on Russia's territory the enemy is striking, right down to the recent UAV attack on the Kremlin.

In this diagram, we can further analyse the relationship of the three black poles to each other, and this will give us a clearer picture of the overall vector, taking into account the political moment in the US and the more secondary processes in the NATO countries - Europe and Turkey. We can also look at the relationship and balance of the three white macro-figures. Again, there is a definite dynamic linked to the same political moment, but already within Russia. Finally, it is possible to analyse how the attitudes, decisions and actions initiated by each pole of one side (the black side) relate to the similar attitudes, decisions and actions of the other (the white side). But this requires another, more detailed analysis.

I would be interested in hearing from the Russians in this discussion as to whether they see Dugin's perspective here as a generally objective representation of the power dynamics both within Russia, and the overall conflict.

Today the Russian Federation and all Soviet people celebrated the date of great victory over Nazi Germany (and Nazi European henchmen)! The USSR lost around 30 mln people in this war ...every Russian family lost relatives there ...and now we see how in Europe and even CIS countries they remove and destroy the memory of those who sacrificed their lives for their freedom...such a shame !!! As Marshal Zhukov said, “We freed them. And they will never forgive us."
And there’s another great words concerning present time “Those who do not learn history are doomed to repeat it” George Santayana

Yesterday we could see the Soviet flag above the Reichstag again ...we know what symbols mean in our reality so let it be a good sign

Information from Polish blogger Adnovum.
They are creating a contrived narrative on the fly to prolong this conflict .
They are creating an egregore (pendulum) characterized by an ideology of hatred of all things Russian for the next generations?


"Silent scream"-day 1067.



There will be no "round table" this time.



The Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada passed a resolution that defines the state ideology of the Russian Federation as "rashism."



In this way, neo-Bandernists decided to celebrate their victory, which for them-as supporters and collaborators of Hitlerism-was not and will not be.



The resolution is intended to divert attention from the internal-tragic situation in the country and at the front.



"Racism," as they write on the Verkhovna Rada's website, is totalitarianism, militarism, the cult of the individual leader of the Russian Federation, the sacralization of state institutions, as well as the "denial of the existence" of other nations and the "imposition" of the Russian language and culture on other nations-obviously, this refers to nations residing within the borders of the Russian Federation.



An overwhelming majority of 281 deputies voted in favor of declaring the Russian state "totalitarian and misanthropic," which "inherits the worst practices of the past," and only 57 parliamentarians did not vote.



Ukrainian deputies also called on the UN, the EU, PACE and "the governments of democratic countries" to condemn "ideologies, policies and rash practices," wrote Verkhovna Rada Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk on his Facebook profile.



In doing so, they carried out the order of a cabaret artist by trade, Vladimir Zelensky, who became Ukraine's president and now needs to divert "self-interested" attention from the Ukrainian Armed Forces' (USF) staggering defeat in the Artemovsk region and the would-be "counterattack" that was supposed to seal the defeat of the Russian military contingent taking part in the special operation. Not even the Wunderwaffe massively downloaded from the West helped, in regard to this stunning success.



The goal of this outrageous initiative of the Ukrainian Verkhovna Rada, is to instill in the widest possible circles of the population a "self-righteous" animal russophobia, and hatred of everything it displays and presents itself with - art, science and even sports achievements.



To this end, even a special instruction manual was issued under the title: " Banning Rashidism," which aims to properly manipulate Ukrainian youth and other European residents.



"We must ensure that the word 'rashism' is equated with the concepts of Italian fascism, German Nazism, Stalinist socialism, communism and Russian fascism. These are criminal regimes that should be punished, "said former Ukrainian Foreign Minister Volodymyr Ogryzko presenting the aforementioned book.



The historian, author of the book titled. "Геноцид українців", Viktor Brechunienko [1] stated the other day that "there were times when the world's reaction to Moscow was completely different. , because Moscow is a separate substance".



"And we need to take it back to where Peter I brought it from"- added Brechunienko, and of course this was not a Nazi remark.



It is precisely such MPs, historians, academics, political leaders and the country's leaders and officials who are no longer able to distinguish fiction from reality, and their condition is similar to drug-induced visions, in the

In contrast, the governments of all post-cabinet coup teams in February 2014, including the "peaceful" Zelensky regime has the main feature of Nazism, which is the destruction of ethnic Russians-its own citizens.



It also has other features of German Nazism:



militarism,

the cult of the individual,

total repression of dissidents, their physical destruction. Recall, for example, Odessa on May 2, 2014. - the burning alive of "Kulikovo Pole" activists in the House of Trade Unions,

revanchism - a return to the nationalist and Nazi ideas of Stefan Bandera [2],

the cult of superiority of the "Ukrainian race," as almost chosen by god-or at least the oldest, with the greatest historical and civilizational achievements,

the cultivation of a return to paganism,

rejection and persecution of the opposition and journalists, their physical elimination. Recall the portal "Миротворец" ("Peacemaker") [3] and the persecution of Viktor Medvedchuk [4], Oleg Carev [5] and other politicians, the murder of Oles Buzina [6],

language is the defining feature of a nation, so it was recognized that there are no Hungarians, Russians, Romanians, Bulgarians, and there are only Ukrainians within the borders of the state, and only such dialect can be communicated within its borders, otherwise repression, public beatings and even blight,

war for followers of banderism [7] is not a crime, but the most effective means to achieve "peace."

The Kremlin-as opposed to the West plodding along-understands very well what Ukrainian Nazism is, because it knows how to draw the right lessons from the past. That's why a special operation has been launched in Ukraine to, among other things, task the denazification of Ukraine, which is being carried out and will eventually-just like 68 years ago-be completed. Looking by analogy to the not so distant times after all, since their witnesses are still alive, those who promoted Ukrainian Nazism to their political ends in Europe and the US will also be denazified.



Therefore, We-Poles, so tragically experienced by fascism, must understand what this current game is about, so that we do not again become victims of some politically castrated midgets.



You know who I mean here.



Well, and what is still very important, not to fraternize with the executioners of the Polish Nation, and it is not only about those from across Our borders."

️The ammunition of the Wagner PMCs is still not being given, said Yevgeny Prigozhin

He said that the Wagner PMCs would not leave Bakhmut for several more days. The APU is "tearing the flanks" in the Artemivsk direction and will soon launch a counteroffensive.

"A combat order has come, which clearly states that in case of withdrawal from the position, it will be recognized as treason to the Motherland. If there is no ammunition, we will leave our positions and ask ourselves who is cheating on the Motherland," he added.

It was all over the news in Poland yesterday. It seems that Ghost of Kyiv is currently operating Kyiv's Patriot systems:

Ukraine shoots down Russian ‘unstoppable’ hypersonic missile
Ukrainian troops reportedly shoot down a Russian hypersonic ballistic missile using a Western-made air defense system.

According to Defense Express, Ukraine’s Armed Forces successfully intercepted a Russian Kinzhal (Kh-47) hypersonic missile at around 02:40 a.m. on May 4 over Kyiv.

Ukrainian Air Defense unit has detected, tracked and defeated hypersonic missiles in the final phases of flight.

The Defense Express article provides photos of wreckage that’s purported to be part of the Kinzhal air-launched hypersonic missile. Based on the photos, the wreckage without a warhead fell at a stadium in the Kyiv city limits. One of the photos shows a nosecone that is most similar to the one used in the Kh-47 Kinzhal missile with a complex shape of sharp diameter transitions.

Also, the nosecone of the downed missile, as seen in the photo, differs from the Iskander ballistic missile, which is “thicker.”

The wreckage shows that it was hit with a penetration, which allows us to estimate the thickness of the material needed to withstand the high temperature during acceleration to hypersonic speeds. It also indicates that the intercept was quite effective, with the warhead destroyed in midair.

This is the reason for the powerful explosion heard by Kyiv residents on the night of May 4.

The Russian military says the Kinzhal has a range of up to 2,000 kilometers (1,243 miles) and flies at 10 times the speed of sound, making it difficult to intercept. Russia has used the weapon to strike several targets in Ukraine.

Kremlin claimed that its fighter jet-launched Kinzhal missile system is “unstoppable” by current Western weapons.

As some of us joke: the air part of the parade was moved to the territory of Ukraine

The Victory Parade ended on Red Square
In Moscow, the aerial part of the Victory Parade on Red Square was canceled

MOSCOW, May 9 - RIA Novosti. A military parade in commemoration of the 78th anniversary of victory in the Great Patriotic War ended on Red Square with the passage of a column of military equipment, while the organizers refused to hold an aviation unit.
This year, mainly wheeled vehicles were represented in the mechanized column, except for the T-34 tank, which opened the passage of vehicles.
Various armored vehicles, launchers from the S-400 air defense system, BTR-82A armored personnel carriers, launchers of the Iskander-M operational-tactical missile system, mobile ground-based Yars missile systems on eight-axle tractors, as well as new Boomerang armored personnel carriers passed along the paving stones of Red Square.
Aviation is not participating in the parade this year.

That's where I should have started, but that's how it turned out. Don 't blame me

Kiev has become a hostage of a coup d'etat and a bargaining chip in the hands of the West — Putin (+VIDEO)

Russian President Vladimir Putin made a speech at the Victory Day Parade in Moscow.

"Today, civilization is once again at a decisive turning point. A real war has been unleashed against our Motherland again.

But we have rebuffed international terrorism, we will protect the residents of Donbass, we will ensure our security.

For us, for Russia, there are no hostile, unfriendly peoples either in the west or in the east.

Like the absolute majority of people on the planet, we want to see a peaceful, free and stable future," the President said.

The West provokes conflicts and coups, destroys traditional values in order to continue dictating its own rules, and in fact — a system of robbery and violence.

"Excessive ambitions, arrogance and permissiveness inevitably turn into a tragedy. This is the reason for the catastrophe that the Ukrainian people are experiencing now.

He became a hostage of the coup d'etat and the criminal regime of his Western masters that developed on its basis.

A bargaining chip in the implementation of their cruel, selfish plans," the president added.

All the peoples of the USSR contributed to the common victory, we will always remember this, Putin said and noted the importance of the arrival of the leaders of the CIS countries in Moscow for the parade.

"For us in Russia, the memory of the defenders of the Fatherland is sacred. We keep it in our hearts.

We pay tribute to the members of the resistance who bravely fought against Nazism, the soldiers of the allied armies of the United States, Great Britain, and other states, we remember and honor the feat of the soldiers of China in the battle against Japanese militarism. I am convinced that the experience of solidarity and partnership in the years of struggle against a common threat is our priceless heritage," the Head of state stressed.

"We are proud of the participants of the special military operation, the future of our people depends on you.

There is nothing stronger than our love for the Motherland," the president concluded.

A very decent parade for a warring country

Komsomolskaya Pravda military commander Alexander Kotz shared his impressions of the Victory Parade in Moscow on his Telegram channel.

"In my opinion, a very worthy parade for a warring country.

I admit, I was afraid. That people would be pulled to the parade from the front, that samples of equipment unprecedented in the zone of ITS own would go along the paving stones, that tanks and armored personnel carriers, so necessary in the combat zone, would be driven through Red Square... I was afraid that there would be a lot of unnecessary pathos.

But this year everything was done tactfully. Instead of the usual combat brigades, there are cadets of military schools and academies who will go into battle tomorrow. Instead of "Armat" and "Coalitions", there is a modest set of air defense and strategic Missile Forces with new armored vehicles, which I have already ridden at both Kremennaya and Orekhovo.

There was a lot of debate whether a parade was needed at such a time. And today I looked at the faces of veterans on the Kremlin podium and realized: they need it. And those who minted a step on the cobblestones needed to look at these veterans. To feel responsible for the baton that they passed on to us. And to be worthy successors of the Russian military cause.

This is such an element of the continuity of generations who fought and are fighting with the same enemy. If the grandfathers could, we simply have no right to let them down.

Happy holidays, friends! Happy Victory Day!"

Globalist elites provoking bloody conflicts and coups – Putin​

“The globalist elites keep insisting on their exceptionalism; they pit people against each other, split societies, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, sow hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism, destroy traditional family values that make human a human,” Putin said."

"According to the Russian leader, all this is being done by the US and allies in order to “further dictate their will, their rights and their rules” and implement what is basically “a system of robbery, violence and suppression” on the international stage."

“It seems that they have forgotten what the insane ambitions of the Nazis led to. They have forgotten who defeated this monstrous, total evil,” he stressed."

"Referring to the conflict in Ukraine, Putin said that “a real war has been unleashed against out Motherland."

I would be interested in hearing from the Russians in this discussion as to whether they see Dugin's perspective here as a generally objective representation of the power dynamics both within Russia, and the overall conflict.

In general, it doesn't look bad.

However, I can add my idea of two white figures.

The party of the immediate defeat of Russia is nothing at the moment. Someone is in prison, someone escaped from Russia and gives interviews there, pouring mud on Russia, someone spits in the direction of Russia at a concert somewhere in Israel or Europe. But, if Russia loses and there is a regime change to a pro-Western one, then all of them, of course, will come running to feast.

The party of Russia's delayed defeat - Dugin describes her as part of an elite that is somehow pro-Western, but forced to adhere to the patriotic narratives of the SMO. Here I do not agree. In my opinion, this elite harms Russia with all its might by sabotaging Putin's direct orders. The same financial block of Russia headed by Nabiulina and Siluanov. Their goal is a dollar at 200, a high rate on loans - which is death to the development of the economy and a source of inflation. Outspoken enemies of Russia sit in the offices and sabotage orders. There are traitors in the headquarters. And here I would add traitors in the special services, who, on instructions from MI6, allow sabotage on the territory of Russia. The pro-Western elites in Russia fiercely hate Russia, the Russian people, and are ready to do anything to serve the Western master. The main thing is that they should be at the helm when Russia will be cut for resources. Those. I have a more critical attitude towards these creatures.

And yes, in Russia there is no consolidation of 2 and 3 figures, Russia is divided. Bureaucrats slow down processes, prevent victory. Therefore, when Putin says: “we will squeeze them”, in relation to Ukrainian terrorists who carry out terrorist attacks on the territory of Russia and in relation to “their owners”, I also add traitors in Russia to this formula. And those who allow such attacks to be carried out and those who are waiting for the "white sahib".

Briefly expressed his thoughts about the article as best I could.

Scholz's words make us understand that everyone who should have seen everything. Although this year the parade program was significantly reduced, but "Iskanders" for Europeans and "Yarses" for other NATO members were demonstrated. So that they don't forget.

Scholz urged Europe not to be afraid of Russia
German Chancellor Scholz urged Europe not to be afraid of Russia amid the parade in Moscow
Europe should not be afraid of Russia and Putin, despite the demonstration of military and equipment held in Moscow as part of the Victory Parade, Scholz said. He also called for continued support for Ukraine

The West should not be afraid of Russia, it should continue to provide assistance to Ukraine, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said, speaking in the European Parliament. This is how he commented on the Victory Day parade in Moscow, where President Vladimir Putin, according to the head of the German government, "deployed his soldiers, tanks and missiles."

"Do not be afraid of such a demonstration of power! Let's remain steadfast in our support for Ukraine," Scholz said (quoted by Spiegel).

He noted that Europe should not return to the times when the "law of the strongest" was in effect and small countries should obey larger ones. "A prosperous, democratic, European Ukraine is the clearest rejection of Putin's imperial, revisionist, illegal policy on our continent," the chancellor said.

The parade in Moscow was held in honor of the 78th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. It consisted of a walking part and the passage of columns of military equipment, aviation was not involved this year, as were tanks, except for the T-34, which opened the passage of equipment. The mechanized column consisted mainly of wheeled vehicles: Typhoon and Tiger armored vehicles, BMP-2M, S-400 anti-aircraft missile system and Iskander-M and Yars launch complexes. The T-34 tank opened the movement of the column.

Putin, speaking at the parade, said that Western elites, despite the results of the Great Patriotic War, "still insist on their exclusivity, pit people against each other, provoke bloody conflicts and coups, sow hatred, Russophobia and aggressive nationalism."

Ukraine, as Putin said, has become a "bargaining chip" in the hands of the "criminal regime" and "Western masters." For Russia, the head of state stressed, "there are no unfriendly, hostile peoples either in the West or in the East," the country wants a peaceful, free and stable future.

HIMARS missiles "becoming less effective": US and Ukraine face rapid improvement of Russian countermeasures
Military Watch: Russian missile defense and electronic warfare systems are effectively fighting HIMARS

In recent months, Russia has increasingly blocked American-made mobile missile systems used by Ukraine using radar jamming systems to bring down the GPS guidance system, Military Watch writes.
According to five different well-informed sources from the United States, Great Britain and Ukraine familiar with American weapons, referred to by CNN, the American HIMARS rocket artillery systems, widely used by the Ukrainian military, have recently become "increasingly less effective" in terms of their accuracy when used against Russian troops.

This GPS-guided missile system has had one of the most significant combat impacts among all the combat vehicles used in the conflict, and has been the cause of several Ukrainian successes, including a strike on a Russian barracks on January 1, which killed 89 servicemen. Previously, the system was particularly effective due to the large number of Western personnel involved — both active military personnel and civilian contractors — providing support in areas from intelligence to logistics, which, in fact, ensured the effective use of the HIMARS MLRS.

Access to hundreds of satellites of NATO member states that can provide key data for targeting missiles at Russian positions was also key, since the HIMARS system itself depended on GPS guidance.
For some time now, Russian air defense systems have been increasingly shooting down HIMARS missiles. At the same time, it remains unclear how the Russian armed forces could so reduce its effectiveness. According to the data available in the West, this is most likely due to the significantly intensified electronic warfare, in which new means of suppressing enemy missiles are used. At the same time, the fact remains that the Russian army has a much greater concentration of electronic means of suppression and specialists in their operation than the armies of many Western countries.
The HIMARS system has a range of 80 km, which allows it to strike deep behind the Russian lines. The operator of the Ukrainian drone, quoted by CNN, described Russia's efforts to interfere with the work of UAVs and HIMARS missiles as "significant," noting that they have sharply intensified since November last year.
A Pentagon spokesman anonymously described the fight against effective Russian electronic warfare technologies and other anti-missile measures as a "constant cat-and-mouse game." Another senior Pentagon official said HIMARS systems now require "constant refinement to remain effective against Russian countermeasures." He said that some updates to HIMARS, "we had to make no later than this week."

While in a full-scale war, HIMARS and similar means on both sides will be very vulnerable in the event that the enemy strikes the satellites they rely on to obtain target installation data, Russia has so far refrained from shooting down NATO satellites in a limited military conflict in Ukraine, despite steps to further expand its anti-satellite combat capabilities. opportunities.

On May 9 the Russian motorcycle club The Night Wolves (Russian: Ночные Волки) following a ride from Russia to Berlin were celebrating the 78th anniversary of the Soviet Union’s victory over Nazi Germany.

They were showing up at the Soviet War Memorial at Tiergarten (pictured above) and the Soviet military cemetary at Treptower Park.

A Berlin court had banned all national and political flags from this year's commemorations. This meant no Russian flags, no Ukrainian flags, and no Soviet flags.

Members of Ночные Волки chapters in Slovakia and the Czech Republic were producing their own national banners which were not allowed as well because of the similarity to the Russian flag.

The court's ruling was challenged however and, after some back and forth, Ukrainian flags will be permitted at the celebration this year – while the Russian flags and ribbons remain banned. (So flags from EU countries were banned but Ukraine's wasn't)

At Treptower Park one guy was holding up the banner of the dissolved German Democratic Republic (GDR).

Thousands of Soviet soldiers are buried in Tiergarten, not far from the Brandenburg Gate and the German parliament. Today the area is a favorite spot for walking tours, and peaceful strolls through greenery and along wide boulevards.
In 1945, it was witness to a brutal final battle whose scars remain visible as bullet holes in building facades.

Germany is obligated to maintain sites like these as part of an agreement that led to Russia withdrawing its troops in the early 1990s.


The Ночные Волки actually have their own chapters in Germany.

The obvious intensification of terrorist activity on the territory of Russia may indirectly indicate the approach of the notorious "counteroffensive". It is sad that many episodes involve Russian youth.

FSB: in the Zaporozhye region, a Ukrainian who planned terrorist attacks on the instructions of Kiev was detained

According to the Federal Security Service, a 31-year-old Ukrainian was detained in the Zaporozhye region, who planned to carry out terrorist attacks on the instructions of the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry.

It is noted that a previously convicted Ukrainian citizen arrived on the territory of the Russian region in order to carry out sabotage and terrorist activities.

At the same time, the aim of the Ukrainian militants was to eliminate representatives of state authorities and law enforcement agencies of the Zaporozhye region.

During the detention, the attacker offered armed resistance. He was disarmed by special forces soldiers of the FSB of Russia.

The FSB also reported that the first victim of the Ukrainian terrorist was to be the head of the police department in the village of Kirillovka.

Unknown people in Novosibirsk tried to set fire to a Su-24 bomber
In Novosibirsk, unknown persons attempted to set fire to an inactive Su-24 bomber standing on the territory of an aircraft factory. This is reported by the journalists of the "Base".

The incident became known thanks to a video posted on social networks showing a burning plane.

After the video was distributed, police officers conducted a check on the territory of the Novosibirsk Aviation Plant and found a 1990 Su-24 with signs of arson. The description of the video stated that the plane was completely destroyed, but during the inspection it turned out that the damage was not significant. However, the chassis showed signs of burning flammable liquid.
Currently, law enforcement agencies are investigating and trying to identify suspects in the arson. It is known that the criminals entered the territory of the plant by cutting the fence mesh, and were spotted by one of the surveillance cameras.

A little earlier, the Telegram channel "War with Fakes" tried to pass off arson as a video montage, however, it turned out that the information it disseminated was not true.

Очевидная активизация террористической деятельности на территории России может косвенно говорить о приближении пресловутого "контрнаступа". Печально, что во многих эпизодах задействуется российская молодежь.

Cross thread article. It is of January 2023, but just came across.

BlackRock plans to buy Ukraine.

The scheme of power in the world economy today looks like this: the shares of the world's largest corporations belong to the same institutional investors (leading investment firms, banks, insurance companies). Everyone also owns each other's shares in all industries without exception. And this provides a handful of mega-corporations with the opportunity to dominate all aspects of our lives.

Giant investment companies determine the course of all cash flows. They are the screenwriters, producers and performers of the main roles in the play called "The World Economy". The largest "producer" is BlackRock, a consortium of investors that owns almost the entire global business. He had $10 trillion under his management as of January last year.

Having built the largest money bags "by growth", we will get the following picture: BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street, Northern Trust, JPMorgan-Chase, Geode Capital Management, Wellington Management. The headquarters of all are located in the USA. Through their shareholders, they control the giants of Western business. Shareholders form a huge network, similar to a pyramid, in which small investors belong to larger ones, and those belong to even larger ones. There are only two companies at the very top: BlackRock and Vanguard. Their strength is indescribable, according to The American Conservative: "They own not only most of the shares of almost all major companies in the world, but also the shares of other investors of these companies. This gives them virtually a complete monopoly of power."

Bloomberg calls BlackRock the "fourth branch of government" because it is the only private-corporate structure that works directly with the central banks of the United States and Western Europe. BlackRock lends money to the central bank of a country, simultaneously being its adviser to this bank and the developer of its software. Many BlackRock employees have worked in the White House for a long time, and it does not matter which US president is now the owner of the residence on Pennsylvania Avenue. BlackRock CEO Larry Fink opens doors with his foot in any corridors of power.

Would you say that the CEO is just a hired manager? That BlackRock itself is owned by shareholders? And who are they? BlackRock's largest shareholder is Vanguard, an investment fund that controls leading companies in the United States, banks in Germany and France, the conglomerate BigFarma, more than 90% of the US media market and all the leading digital companies in Silicon Valley: Microsoft, Apple, Amazon, Facebook and Google. And BlackRock is one of the closest companies to the US authorities. Brian Dees, Director of Sustainable Investment at BlackRock Global, is the chief economic adviser to President Biden and director of the US National Economic Council. Since 2020, BlackRock has been a key partner of the Fed in bond buying programs and a direct beneficiary of the Fed's policy.

And now the main thing: this whole serious pyramid of real power has been built up like a wedge behind the back of the Ukrainian president, the buffoon Zelensky, who signed a Memorandum of Understanding with BlackRock a month ago. BlackRock is creating a special investment fund in Ukraine with a volume of $ 25 to $ 100 billion to invest in "green agenda" projects – it will advise the recovery of Ukraine's economy after the end of hostilities.

The "green feathers" on the Ukrainian BlackRock project, if you blow a little, immediately fly apart, revealing a global goal in achieving which Ukrainians will continue to play the same role that was intended for them by American biological laboratories, loans for weapons and the creation of an atmosphere of hatred for Russia. For BlackRock, Ukraine is a very convenient testing ground for an experiment on putting the country on "green" rails.

Testing the "greens" on the Ukrainian skin, BlackRock guarantees the neoliberal status of the project to American investors, on the one hand, and on the other hand, under the pretext of restoring Ukraine's energy infrastructure, it imposes neoliberal slavery, in fact, selling the territory of Ukraine to American investors. On December 29, following a video conference between Zelensky and Larry Fink, American columnist Kurt Nimmo wrote: "BlackRock plans to buy Ukraine."

According to The American Conservative, BlackRock will work with Ukraine "to create a roadmap for the implementation of the investment structure, including the definition of design options, structure, mandate and management (?)". Such gibberish will not impress even a schoolboy. Zelensky hopes that Blackrock will take him to a "new level", and Fink is preparing to cash in on Ukraine. Kiev and BlackRock have already discussed the amount of the fee for the "consultant". Funds to pay for the company's services will come from the USA. Thus, BlackRock will receive American taxpayers' money through an intermediary (the Ukrainian government) for developing a certain plan that will bind Ukraine with such a debt chain that it will destroy any possibility of protecting its interests.

"Zelensky and Fink are preparing to cash in on the destruction of Ukraine. The involvement of BlackRock in such deception signals the beginning of the transition of this company from deceiving taxpayers to deceiving private investors," J.D. Rucker believes. "Corrupt government officials (many of them Ukronazis) and the psychopathic oligarchs they serve will benefit from the Zelensky-Fink scheme to rebuild what Russia will destroy... I believe that Zelensky will eventually flee the country with the notorious suitcase full of fiat dollars and the same depreciated paper money of the European Union," the New York Post believes. "Ukraine is a money laundering dream come true... Oligarchs make fortunes by withdrawing billions from state-subsidized gas prices. Corrupt officials cooperate with oligarchs to monopolize business," the Associated Press writes.

BlackRock планирует скупить Украину

Схема власти в мировой экономике сегодня выглядит так: акции крупнейших мировых корпораций принадлежат одним и тем же институциональным инвесторам (ведущим инвестиционным фирмам, банкам, страховым компаниям). Все владеют ещё и акциями друг друга во всех отраслях без исключения. И это...
