NATO’s Secret Armies: Operation Gladio [2009)
Film directed by Andreas Pichler.

Formed in 1956.
The year after the Warsaw Pact (Comecon [1955]).
A legitimate fear.
Let me be unequivocal.
In my opinion, communism is bad.
One might even say evil.
But no one should be killed or tortured for their political beliefs.
A crime must be committed in order for rule of law to come into play.
It is not a crime to hold naive theories (like communism) on what is a good economic system.
A Marxist can only be punished insofar as they promote the overthrow of the government.
I do not think Joe Biden was duly-elected.
But I am not calling for him to be overthrown.
That is not my place.
I could play no role in that.
The only entity which could overthrow Joe Biden’s regime would be the U.S. military.
They should do what they think is right.
They do, however, have an obligation to NOT FOLLOW illegal orders.
Would all orders emanating from a President who was not duly-elected be illegal?
I would think they would be.
But it is not my role to decide that.
Our military will either let us suffer and cease to exist as a country (under the criminal leadership of Joe Biden), or they will make their voices heard.
Every time our military follows an order of Joe Biden, they are making the choice that that order is legal and valid.
And that is their choice.
History will judge them.
It is not my place to give the military advice.
Even though they work for me.
And Joe Biden also derives his (stolen) power from me.
I repudiate Joe Biden.
He is not the legal President.
But what can I do about it?
Here’s what I CAN’T do about it.
I cannot act like a Marxist and encourage the overthrow of the government.
I don’t encourage that.
But I do encourage our military leaders to think.
I do encourage our military leaders to take the situation and condition of the country into consideration.
And I do encourage our military leaders to be abreast of the “irregularities” (to put it nicely) of the 2020 election.
It is up to them to decide what to do.
If they think they are following legal orders by carrying out the commands of Joe Biden, then there’s not much I can do about that.
Joe is right.
We the people would need nukes and fighter jets.
But we the people will only allow our rights to be infringed UP TO A POINT.
An unjust law is no law at all.
Natural law.
I reserve the right to peacefully protest and to utilize my First Amendment rights of free speech.
I wish Biden well.
I hope he keeps us out of WWIII.
I wish he would get us out of NATO.
But I know he won’t.
Because he’s a corrupt moron.
I hope the 2022 midterms actually happen.
I hope Bill Gates doesn’t unleash a smallpox attack.
I hope the 2022 elections are actually free and fair.
I believe the 2020 elections were neither free, nor fair.
Trump won.
I am very disappointed with Trump’s stance on the COVID vaccines.
I am also quite disappointed that Trump called Zelensky a hero.
But it doesn’t change the fact that Trump won.
Would I vote for Trump again?
I don’t know.
I voted for him two times.
I might prefer Ron DeSantis, Rand Paul, Ron Johnson, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, RFK Jr., Robert Malone, Joe Rogan, Alex Jones…
I think any of these people would make a fine President.
And I am liking Tulsi Gabbard more and more.
Which brings us to NATO.
NATO is clearly (CLEARLY!) at fault in the Ukraine war.
NATO precipitated this war.
And the presence of the USA in NATO is unnecessary.
Being in NATO is an unnecessary danger for the United States.
NATO should not even exist anymore (because its enemies…the USSR and the Warsaw Pact alliance) no longer exist.
NATO is no longer a force for peace.
Was it ever?
That brings us to our current film.
Years of Lead.
Anni di piombo.
Italy.
Guido Salvini.
Good guy.
CIA using groups like Ordine Nuovo (fascists) in Italy.
New Order.
New World Order.
Britain wants to maintain that MI6 are choir boys.
P-26.
But what about SHAPE?
And SACEUR?
Gladio (Italy) reported (“responded”) to SACEUR.
It is GOOD to know how communist revolutions work.
It is GOOD to stop them before they happen.
But it is VERY, VERY BAD to murder innocent dumbasses who are wearing Che Guevara t-shirts.
And it is even worse to indiscriminately bomb banks and train stations to scare a population into not voting communist.
The formula was:
-NATO-led (right-wing) stay-behind networks commit terrorist attack on behalf of US/NATO
-attack blamed on leftists
-population avoids voting for communists out of fear
Children were killed in these operations.
Bombings.
Mass shootings.
All blamed on leftists.
And most (if not all) carried out by right-wing paramilitary groups under orders from US/NATO.
P26.
Switzerland.
Felice Casson.
Good guy.
Daniele Ganser (whose article I posted near the top of the page).
Good guy.
Italian intelligence may have stolen the 2020 U.S. election.
Via the military/satellite company Leonardo.
In the days of Gladio, the prime mover within Italy was SISMI.
Military intelligence.
Italy.
Switzerland.
Belgium.
Germany.
But Italy was hit the hardest.
Along with SISMI (which no longer exists per se), another suspect would be VSSE of Belgium.
Only the Vatican’s intelligence agency is older than VSSE.
VSSE is the CIA of Belgium.
Belgium also has a military intelligence organization (GISS).
Strategy of tension.
Look it up.
It dominated the USA in the years after 9/11/01.
And it has dominated the past two years of COVID (with biological warfare [disguised as a naturally-occurring pandemic] replacing higher-intensity forms of terrorism).
The W. Bush administration denies that the USA had anything to do with the terrorism of the stay-behind networks (like Gladio) which they set up in all NATO countries following WWII.
Yeah, sure.
This same Bush administration says it’s just all “made up” by the Russians.
All evidence points to the various security services in Europe (Italy, Belgium, etc.) protecting these stay behind networks from prosecution when they committed these acts of terrorism.
So the Bush administration was (in 2006) relying on an implausible deniabilty.
It’s possible, but highly unlikely, that the United States didn’t participate in these terror activities.
And it is even less possible that they didn’t know about them and condone them.
It remains to be discovered just what just the U.S. and NATO played in this terrorism.
There is no question that NATO/US set up these stay-behind networks.
And there is very little question that these stay-behind networks committed acts of terrorism upon European civilians.
Indeed, the original mission of these stay-behind networks appears to have changed from “use in case of emergency [a Soviet takeover of Western Europe]” to “use for any purpose which will cause Europeans to fear communist political candidates”.
This violence should not have been committed.
When children are killed (as they were by a bombing in Munich at the Octoberfest), then the end does not justify the means.
Try telling the father who lost his young son and daughter to that bombing.
The girl was ripped open by the bomb.
The boy had bomb fragments which went through his head.
They both suffered.
They did not die instantly.
They both spoke to their father.
The girl said, “Please help me, father.”
The boy said, “I’m ok. I’m just cold.”
They both died soon after.
And that father had to live with that grief.
All so that communists would not be voted into power in Western Europe.
Bullshit!
FUCK THAT!!!

SISMI was preceded by SID.
Let’s get into the hideous details.
Piazza Fontana bombing.
Milan.
17 dead.
88 wounded.
Bomb went off in an agricultural bank.
Two farmers had just closed a deal with a bank manager.
Does that sound like the kind of target leftists would hit?
A bank for farmers?
No.
But that wasn’t the only bomb of the day.
Other than the 4:37 p.m. bombing of the Banca Nazionale dell’Agricoltura, there were three other bombings that same afternoon in Rome and Milan.
AA11.
UA175.
“AA77”.
UA93.
Four in a day.
There was a U.S. Navy officer (David Carrett) indicted for his role in the Piazza Fontana bombing by the aformentioned Guido Salvini.
A US/NATO intel official (Sergio Minetto) was also indicted by Salvini.
The CIA coordinator for northeastern Italy (Carlo “Uncle Otto” Digilio) was likewise indicted by Salvini.
The head of SISMI (Sergio Siracusa) was charged by the aforementioned Felice Casson.
It seems the Piazza Fontana investigation was obstructed by SID (SISMI) director General Gianandelio Maletti (a P2 Masonic lodge member).
Neo-Nazi/neo-Fascist Franco Freda got life in prison in 1979 for the bombing.
As did Giovanni Ventura.
As did Italian secret agent Guido Gianettini.
All three were then acquitted on appeals in 1981.
Freda and Venturi still each got 15 years for bombings they committed in Padua and Milan.
Gianettini was acquitted in 1982.
All defendants acquitted in 1985 (including alleged conspirators Valpreda and Merlino).
Two members of the Italian secret services went to jail for misleading the investigation.
Now what possible reason might they have had for doing that?
I don’t know…maybe because the bombers were working for them???
Gian Adelio Maletti got one year in prison.
Antonio Labruna got 10 months.
For the death of 17 people.
But in 1987, here comes our good friend from Operation Condor.
Stefano Delle Chiaie.
Tried for the Piazza Fontana bombing.
Acquitted.
By 2000 it had come to Delfo Zorzi.
He received life in prison for the bombing.
Carlo Digilio received immunity in exchange for information.
Zorzi was then acquitted on appeal in 2004.
U.S. intelligence knew about the Piazza Fontana bombing (and the Piazza della Loggia bombing five years later in Brescia) before they happened.
But they did nothing to stop them.
Why?
This sounds awful similar to what the CIA did in South America with Operation Condor.
In Brescia, it appears that the target was even more stupid.
Why would right-wing false-flaggers bomb an anti-fascist protect?
That makes no sense.
France was the only member of NATO to ever withdraw from the alliance.
And if they had been smart (which they evidently are not), they would have stayed out.
But they didn’t stay out.
Nevertheless, SHAPE was forced by France’s withdrawal in 1967 to move to Mons, Belgium.
The Brabant massacres.
The Brabant killers.
The Nivelles gang.

Armed robbery (Delhaize grocery store).
Five people killed.
Overijse. 1985
Armed robbery (Delhaize grocery store).
Father, mother, and daughter killed in the parking lot.
Son ran back into the shop and was shot at point blank.
Eight deaths today during this robbery.
Aalst. 1985
Buckshot in 12-gauge Winchester pump shotguns was a rare type similar to a former Belgian special forces unit called Group Diane.
SDRA8.
SDRAVIII.
S.D.R.A. VIII.
In Greece, there was CIA coordination with General Lucian Truscott.
LOK is Greek special forces.
There is some evidence they were involved in the Greek military coup of 1967.
This coup happened one month before national elections.
There were 10,000 arrests in this coup.
This ushered in the Regime of the Colonels which lasted in Greece from 1967-1974.
A secret NATO army in Greece appears to have been named Red Sheepskin (or Operation Sheepskin).
Arms cashes of the stay-behinds were found near Arnhem, Netherlands.
Operation Gladio again connects to Operation Condor by was of Stefano Delle Chiae.
In Spain (where many Nazis hid out before fleeing to South America).
We also find another connection to Vincenzo Vinciguerra.
William Colby is the only CIA Director that I like.

USA out of NATO/No More NATO [2022)
Google.
When did Soviet Union collapse?
December 26, 1991.
Wikipedia.
Vladimir Putin.
Retired as a KGB Lieutenant Colonel on the second day of the 1991 Soviet coup attempt against Gorbachev.
August 20, 1991.
“As soon as the coup began, I immediately decided which side I was on.”
One can assume that Putin was against the pro-communist coup.
As for Gorbachev.
Gorbachev the reformer.
Putin was on the same side as Yeltsin.
Which explains what happened next.
But we need to back up.
May 1990.
Putin starts working for the mayor of Leningrad (Saint Petersburg) as an advisor on international affairs.
So Putin was working for both the KGB and the mayor (Anatoly Sobchak).
Approximately one year later, he became head of the Committee for External Relations for the mayor of Leningrad.
June 28, 1991.
He was still in the KGB.
Putin held this job until 1996.
Remember when Putin retired from the KGB.
August 1991.
Concurrently, Putin was first deputy chairman for the Government of Saint Petersburg.
He assumed this role in March 1994.
About one year later, he organized the Saint Petersburg chapter of Our Home – Russia: a pro-government political party.
May 1995.
It was a liberal party.
It was founded by Viktor Chernomyrdin.
Pro-government. And liberal.
Remember, Russia had just gotten finished with being a communist country.
So the previous form of government was radically (totalitarian) liberal.
Putin was a legislative election campaign manager that same year.
For the next two years, he was leader of the Saint Petersburg chapter of Our Home – Russia.
1995-1997.
Sobchak, the Saint Petersburg mayor for whom Putin had begun working in 1990, lost his reelection bid.
Putin had been in charge of the reelection campaign.
At this point, Putin resigned his positions within the Saint Petersburg government.
He moved to Moscow.
He began working for Pavel Borodin as deputy chief of the Presidential Property Management Department.
June 1996.
Putin remained in this position for approximately a year.
March 1997.
Yeltsin, with whom Putin had sided in the failed August coup of 1991, hired Putin to become his deputy chief of staff.
March 26, 1997.
Putin held this position for about a year.
May 1998.
He also was the chief of the Main Control Directorate of the Presidential Property Management Department.
His tenure there lasted slightly longer.
June 1998.
This position was an important one.
Both his predecessor (Alexei Kudrin), and his successor (Nikolai Patrushev), wound up in positions of prominence and also worked with Putin later in their careers.
Putin successfully defended his doctoral dissertation in economics at the Saint Petersburg Mining Institute.
June 27, 1997.
His thesis advisor was Vladimir Litvinenko.
Putin then succeeded Viktoriya Mitina as First Deputy Chief of the Presidential Staff “for regions”.
May 25, 1998.
Two months later, he succeeded Sergey Shakhray as head of the commission for “delimitation of power” agreements “of the regions” and head of the President’s federal center.
July 15, 1998.
Putin soon-afterwards, by appointment of Yeltsin, became head of the FSB: the successor to the KGB.
July 25, 1998.
Here’s where our story gets interesting.
And here’s where the current Ukraine war started.
The Czech Republic (AKA Czechia) [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact] joined NATO.
Hungary [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact countries] joined NATO.
Poland [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact countries] joined NATO.
March 12, 1999.
Approximately five months later, Putin became acting Prime Minister of Russia.
August 9, 1999.
The Warsaw Pact was a mutual defense organization like NATO.
The Warsaw Pact ceased to exist on July 1, 1991.
When did the Warsaw Pact begin?
May 14, 1955.
When did NATO begin?
April 4, 1949.
The Soviets created the Warsaw Pact (CoMEcon) IN RESPONSE to the actions of NATO and the West.
So surely NATO dissolved after July 1, 1991, when the threat of the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist, right?
Oh, they didn’t.
Well, then surely NATO ceased operations at least when the USSR ceased to exist on December 26, 1991, right?
Oh, they didn’t take that opportunity for peace either, eh?
Are you fucking telling me that NATO, instead of disbanding and toning it down, INCORPORATED COUNTRIES FROM THEIR FORMER ADVERSARY (CoMEcon AKA the “Warsaw Pact” countries) INTO THEIR FUCKING “MUTUAL-DEFENSE ALLIANCE”?!?
Yes.
That’s exactly what NATO did.
Just five months before Putin first rose to the Prime Minister position in Russia.
1999.
22 years ago.
22 years ago NATO first began to BORDER RUSSIA, right?
[because Poland borders Russia]
No, actually.
NATO began to border Russia in 1949 (!) with the joining of founding member Norway.
Russia was patient.
It was only six years later (1955) that Russia (the Soviet Union) decided to make a proportionate riposte and create the Warsaw Pact zone IN RESPONSE to NATO.
So when Poland joined NATO in 1999, it became the second country bordering Russia to do so.
NATO has been on Russia’s doorstep since 1949.
And NATO set up a fucking tent on Russia’s doorstep in 1999.
Fifty years later.
NATO, if they were really about “defense” and peace, would not have taken this provocative action.
Yeltsin wanted Putin to be his successor.
And so Putin ran for President.
Putin had become Russia’s fifth Prime Minister in 18 months.
The State Duma overwhelmingly-approved this: 233 in favor, 84 against, and 17 abstained.
August 16, 1999.
Putin was an unknown outside of Russia.
He had only briefly been the head of the FSB.
Most intelligence analysts expected him to go the way of the four Prime Ministers who came before him (in a mere 18 months).
Yeltsin was sick.
He unexpectedly resigned.
And Putin became Acting President.
December 31, 1999.
Putin won an early Presidential election.
March 26, 2000.
He was inaugurated.
May 7, 2000.
Life came at him fast.
The Kursk submarine sunk.
August 12, 2000.
Another crisis arose two years later with the Moscow theater hostage crisis.
October 23, 2002.
Putin was elected to a second term.
March 14, 2004.
Here’s where “peace-loving” NATO stepped in again.
Bulgaria [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact countries] joined NATO.
Estonia [a former Soviet Republic bordering Russia] joined NATO.
Latvia [a former Soviet Republic bordering Russia] joined NATO.
Lithuania [a former Soviet Republic bordering Russia] joined NATO.
Romania [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact countries] joined NATO.
Slovakia [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact countries] joined NATO.
Slovenia [a former part of communist Yugoslavia] joined NATO.
March 29, 2004.
Wow.
So NATO, instead of being satisfied with expanding NATO by two countries in 1999 (and bordering Russia with two members), decided to expand by a further SEVEN (!) countries (giving them FIVE members that border Russia).
The provocativeness of this cannot be understated.
Russia does not have a mutual defense treaty with Canada.
Because Canada is in NATO.
And Russia does not have a mutual defense treaty with Mexico.
Indeed, Russia no longer has nukes in Cuba.
It is approximately 230 miles from Havana, Cuba to Miami, Florida.
The world almost ended in October 1962 because of this kind of proximity.
230 miles.
And how far is Tallinn, Estonia (a part of NATO since 2004) from Saint Petersburg, Russia?
Approximately 230 miles.
Look it up.
Don’t take my word for it.
Google.
Havana to Miami.
And.
Tallinn to St. Petersburg (in miles).
Are there nukes in Tallinn?
Probably not.
But there are NATO forces in Tallinn.
And in Estonia.
NATO was on Russia’s doorstep for six years (since 1949) before the Warsaw Pact even existed .
NATO pitched a tent on Russia’s doorstep in 1999 with the accession of Poland.
And then NATO effectively started brandishing weapons on Russia’s doorstep with the accession of Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania in 2004.
What would you do if someone was on your doorstep?
You ask questions.
You find out their name is Norway and they’re in a gang called NATO.
They say, “if you mess with me, then my gang will declare war on you”.
Pretty unsettling.
But you let them hang out and loiter on your doorstep for fifty years.
After fifty years, they bring a friend named Poland and set up a tent on your doorstep.
They are there, every day and every night, sleeping in their tent and cooking on their camping stove.
They leave their trash everywhere.
They act like they own your doorstep.
You cannot leave your house by your front door.
You have to go out of your garage.
Or through your backyard and out the side gate.
Five years later, Norway and Poland (NATO gang members), bring their gang buddies Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania to live in the tent on your doorstep.
It’s getting crowded in that tent!
But this time there’s something even more unsettling.
These gang members are brandishing automatic weapons.
They have hand guns.
Every time you look out your peephole, you see the five people on your porch.
And they are heavily armed!
That is where Putin was at in 2004 when he began his second Presidential term.
Since then, NATO has added:
-Albania [a former signatory of the Warsaw Pact] in 2009
-Croatia [a former part of communist Yugoslavia] in 2009
-Montenegro [a former part of communist Yugoslavia] in 2017
-North Macedonia [a former part of communist Yugoslavia] in 2020
East, east, east.
Always east.
Ever eastwards!
NATO is the gang on Russia’s porch.
It started with Norway loitering and saying, “mess with me and you mess with my gang”.
For fifty years Russia let punk Norway hang out and brag about their gang.
After fifty years, Norway and their buddy Poland (another NATO gang member), set up a tent on Russia’s porch.
Day and night.
Norway and Poland talking shit about how their gang would fuck Russia up.
Russia used to be in a gang.
Two, actually.
Russia was the kingpin of both of them.
The capo.
NATO are crips.
CoMEcon (Warsaw Pact)/USSR were bloods.
The bloods have ceased to exist.
Their gang has been broken up.
The bloods (Russia) even made their colors red, white, and blue: same as USA and France (two of NATO’s founding members).
The bloods have taken on the ways of the crips.
The bloods are a defeated gang.
But that’s not good enough for the crips.
The crips want to push their face into the pavement and grind it.
In 2014, with five armed gang members living in a tent on their porch, Russia decided to start going in and out of its own front door again.
They invented a curse word.
Russia invented a curse word.
The word is/was, “Crimea!”
At first, the gang members were shocked that the homeowner (Russia) had grown a pair of balls.
And then every day it happened.
Russia would emerge from its front door.
The gang members would brandish their weapons and say, “why don’t you try something?”
The gang members would say, “this is our porch now, motherfucker!”
And Russia would just say, “Crimea river!”
Russia would go out to the mailbox.
Russia would enter and leave through its own front door.
For eight years Russia has been doing this.
Refusing to be prisoners in their own home.
But last year a new little shit named Ukraine started hanging out in the tent on the porch.
And Ukraine said, “We’re gonna prevent you from saying, ‘Crimea river!'”
Russia said, “How are you going to do that?”
Ukraine said, “I’m gonna fuck you up if you say, ‘Crimea river!'”
Russia asked, “Are you in this NATO gang?”
Ukraine replied, “Well, not yet. But I want to be. And I’m gonna join as soon as possible.”
This last reply was in the fall of 2021.
There was a new shit on the block: Ukraine.
And Ukraine wanted to be the badass.
Ukraine wanted to make sure that Russia could no longer enter and leave through its own front door.
But Ukraine made a threat.
Ukraine said, “As soon as I get into NATO, I’m gonna fuck you up the first time I hear the words, ‘Crimea river!'”
Russia finally decided to do something.
Russia thought, “Ok, I can’t fight these five gang members living with automatic weapons in a tent on my porch. There’s too many of them. But I cannot go back to being unable to enter and leave through my own front door. So there is only one solution. I must fight the one who is threatening my freedom. I should be able to enter and leave through my own front door. And these gang members let me do that. I can even tell them to go fuck themselves and get away with it. Because I’m polite. I just say, ‘Crimea river!’ But now the time has come. I cannot tolerate little shit Ukraine telling me that he is gonna restrict my movement and my speech ON MY OWN FRONT PORCH! This little comedian shit has made his intentions known: as soon as he joins the NATO gang, he is gonna have them fuck me up in colossal manner anytime I exert my ownership of my own house. As soon as I go out to check the mail and they heckle me. As soon as I respond with a relatively-tame, ‘Crimea river!’, Ukraine is gonna sic the entire fucking gang on my ass. So that is the final straw. I can’t fight the whole bullshit gang of thugs, but I can fight the little shit. And I must fight him before he gets into the gang. Now is the time. Do or die.”

Stand With Russia / Stand With Putin [2022)
Are you curious about what is going on with Ukraine?
[Stravinsky Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments, 2. Largo]
Well, you should be.
I am.
But I am going to attempt to explain what is going on.
First of all, NATO are a bunch of fucktards.
NATO was formed to defend against the Warsaw Pact (which no longer exists) countries and against the Soviet Union (which also no longer exists).
When did the USSR collapse?
December 26, 1991.
Thirty years ago.
Did NATO disband when this happened?
Did they dissolve?
Of course not.
Why?
Because they are warmongers in disguise.
Why do I say this?
Because NATO was not satisfied to keep the amount of members it had in 1991.
Nooooooo.
It ADDED members.
And it moved in a certain direction.
Which direction was that?
Eastwards.
Towards Russia.
And now they are right on Russia’s doorstep.
Imagine if China or Russia formed a mutual defense treaty with Mexico…or even Guatemala.
And China or Russia put troops and weapons there.
To “protect” those countries against the USA.
Do you think the USA would consider that a threat?
Of course we would.
And before you say the USA is no threat…
[Shostakovich String Quartet No. 8, 1. Largo]
to Mexico or Guatemala, let’s not forget the Mexican-American War (1846-1848) and/or the CIA coup in Guatemala (1954…aka Operation PBSuccess).
So let’s review what NATO has done for the past 30 years.
1999- former member of Warsaw Pact CZECHIA (Czechoslovakia/Czech Republic) joins NATO
1999- former member of Warsaw Pact POLAND joins NATO (borders RUSSIA, BELARUS, and UKRAINE)

[Stravinsky Rite of Spring: Harbingers of Spring (Dances of the Young Girls and Boys)]
Let’s not forget that NORWAY (a NATO member) borders RUSSIA.
[Rachmaninoff Symphonic Dances, I. Non allegro]
So do you see why Russia is worried?
In addition to Norway, NATO began to further border Russia within eight years of the USSR’s collapse (with the accession of Poland).
That was 1999.
2004 was a major year of provocative, aggressive actions by NATO.
THREE MORE countries WHICH DIRECTLY BORDER RUSSIA were added to the mutual defense pact: Estonia, Latvia, and Lituania.
NATO by 2004 had added FOUR COUNTRIES to its membership which DIRECTLY BORDER RUSSIA.
The Soviet Union had ceased to exist for a mere 13 years by this point.
While it is true that NATO has not (yet) added ANY MORE states that border Russia, it has nevertheless continued to add members (mostly from the former Yugoslavia [but one former Warsaw Pact member]): Albania (Warsaw Pact), Croatia, Montenegro, and North Macedonia.
[for those keeping score, five (!) NATO countries border Russia]
Albania in 2009 was, in some ways, the most audacious (provocative) move.
[Shostakovich Preludes and Fugues for Piano Op. 87, Prelude and Fugue No. 1 in C Major (performed by Keith Jarrett)]
Why?
Because Montenegro (a 2017 accession to NATO) is actually TO THE WEST!
NATO was playing checkers.
They skipped over Montenegro.
Only to gobble it up as well eight years later.
And what is east of Albania?
North Macedonia.
A mere two years ago (2020), NATO moved further east with the accession of North Macedonia.
What is east of Europe?
Russia.
For 30 years, in an almost-uninterrupted train, NATO has moved EASTWARDS in a provocative, slow-motion attack on Russia.
Again, remember my metaphor.
What if China or Russia put troops and installations and weapons in Canada?
Oh, they can’t: because Canada is in NATO.
So let’s choose a different metaphor.
Remember when Russia put nukes in Cuba?
It was a big deal, right?
Why?
Because Havana is a mere 228 miles from Miami.
The city of Russia most closely associated with Europe is St. Petersburg.
Warsaw, POLAND (in NATO since 1999) is 729 miles from St. Petersburg.
Vilnius, LITHUANIA (in NATO since 2004) is 448 miles from St. Petersburg.
Riga, LATVIA (in NATO since 2004) is 357 miles from St. Petersburg.
Tallinn, ESTONIA (in NATO since 2004) is 230 miles from St. Petersburg.
[Prokofiev Visions Fugitives, 1. Lentamente]
[Mieczysław Weinberg Piano Quintet, 1. Moderato con moto]
But to reiterate: there are FIVE NATO COUNTRIES that are ASS-TO-FUCKING-ASS with Russia:
Norway
Poland
Estonia
Latvia
Lithuania.
I was in the middle of watching Convoy.
The Canadian Freedom Convoy had made Trudeau enact the Emergencies Act.
Truckers were (and are) headed to D.C. for the Peoples Convoy.
The COVID narrative was falling apart.
Omicron had brought the major risks of the pandemic to an end.
More damning information was emerging every day on Fauci, Moderna, Pfizer, CDC, FDA…
Here is but one example:
But now none of that matters, right?
Are you seeing any news about the truckers?
Remember they were THE ONLY FUCKING THING GOING ON IN THE WORLD just a week ago.
Every country had their own trucker protest.
[Prokofiev Symphony No. 1, I. Allegro]
Did all of that just stop?
We were up to 12,122 reports of death to the HHS VAERS system in relation to the administration of the COVID vaccines in the USA (according to the CDC’s criminally-parsed data).
Open VAERS had it at 23,615 reports of death.
And remember that these numbers should be multiplied by a factor of 10 because of the historical underreporting to the VAERS passive surveillance system.
Take a look at Kawasaki disease.
A perfect example of how, historically, LESS THAN ONE PERCENT of vaccine adverse reactions (including serious ones like Kawasaki disease) had made it into the VAERS system.
So we are talking about 121,220 deaths.
Or, probably, 236,150 deaths.
And that was as of a week ago.
But that doesn’t matter anymore.
Anyone who rammed through these #NeitherSafeNorEffective vaccines are going to pay no price for their crimes against humanity.
Why?
Because the situation in Ukraine has rendered everything else moot.
Why?
Because Russia has nukes.
And they will probably move nukes into Belarus (as that country ditched its status as nuclear-neutral today).
So the whole world is fixated on Ukraine…because if dumbass Biden and dumbass NATO somehow end up shooting at Russia, there could (pretty quickly) be a nuclear exchange.
The situation could devolve rapidly into all-out nuclear war.
What a way to make everyone forget about the past two years, right?
Why were the truckers even in Ottawa?
Because of the killer vaccines and the stupid fucking mandates.
But the threat of death and incineration by nuclear weapons has totally wiped the memory of citizens on planet Earth.
But there is something more insidious going on.
EVERY NEWS SOURCE ON THE PLANET IS MAKING ZELENSKY OUT TO BE A HERO.
AND MAKING UKRAINE OUT TO BE VICTIMS.
No mention of the backstory I gave you.
No mention that NATO has moved eastwards (for no good reason) for 30 years.
So I say, fuck Zelensky!
Fuck Ukraine!!!
I pray every night for the children and elderly of Ukraine.
But I gotta tell you something.
Ukraine fucked up.
They could have investigated Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
But they didn’t.
And that’s a big reason why Biden is President today.
So congratulations, Ukraine!
You got the President you wanted.
Joe Motherfucking Biden.
[Kalinnikov Symphony No. 1, IV. Finale. Allegro moderato]
We are now at Defcon 2.
Some people think Defcon 5 is bad…like an F5 tornado.
Defcon 5 means the U.S. is at a state of readiness associated with peace.
Defcon 1 means the U.S. state of readiness is that of wartime or imminent nuclear threat.
A couple of days ago we were at Defcon 3.
Not great, but not horrible.
Yes, it has deteriorated.
We are now at Defcon 2.
According to public OSINT analysis.
The actual Defcon level is not made public.
[Tchaikovsky Romeo and Juliet, Fantasy Overture]
Why did Russia invade Ukraine?
Because in September Ukraine’s new publicly-released National Security Strategy included their express desire and intent to join NATO.
Russia has had enough.
Russia was patient for 30 years.
Why else did Russia invade Ukraine?
Because “hero” Zelensky publicly announced approximately one year ago that his goal was to MILITARILY take back Crimea from Russia. And how was he gonna do that? By joining NATO, of course.
So Zelensky is certainly, while not in the traditional sense, a comedian.
And his joke is his foreign policy.
Which has now led to the deaths of many of his countrymen.
What a punch line!
Let me explain one further thing.
Russia is fighting NOW so that they don’t have to fight a bigger, deadlier war LATER.
Ukrainians are stupid fucking idiots that don’t realize (or care?) that their corrupt country had a major role in looking the other way so that Joe Biden could be elected/installed.
Those dying for Russia are heroes.
Those dying for Ukraine are morons…in service to a moron government.
Russia is not communist.
Are they a little heavy-handed?
Yes.
Why?
Because pricks like George Soros try to overthrow all the countries (Georgia, for instance) in their region.
And don’t forget the recent overthrow of the Kazakh government.
Aside from Ukraine (which was the “bread basket” of the former Soviet Union [as Zbigniew Brzezinski described it]), Kazakhstan was the most important Soviet Republic.
Don’t forget that Russia went into Kazakhstan on a “peacekeeping” mission.
And they were very successful.
So Russia is heavy-handed.
Putin is heavy-handed.
Because, otherwise, Russia will cease to exist.
Putin is doing his job.
I perceive that he loves his country.
His first responsibility is TO HIS PEOPLE.
He is the leader of RUSSIA.
He is not trying to win a popularity contest.
So to all the Russians who wanna protest, get the fuck out of Russia.
Go to the paradise of the European Union.
Claim refugee status.
Whine and complain that Putin is so bad.
But Putin is protecting your culture and your people.
Let me reiterate.
RUSSIA IS NOT A COMMUNIST STATE.
China is.
Fuck China.
And Russia is far from perfect, but NATO needs to BACK THE FUCK OFF!
As an American, I suggest this:
the USA needs to immediately leave NATO.
The USA needs to also immediately expel the United Nations from New York City.
And the USA needs to exit the United Nations.
If Europe wants their own military, fine.
Call it NATO without the USA.
Donbas and Luhansk asked for Russia’s help.
Putin said yes.
Has Putin gone further than helping these two regions?
Yes.
Why?
Here is one possible reason:
Putin has a responsibility to help those of Russian extraction if he can.
He could.
So he did.
Would you expect Israel to help Jews in some place in the world if they were in trouble?
Yes, you would.
What if those Jews were in a country bordering Israel?
Would you expect Israel to intercede?
Yes, you would.

But let’s get one other thing straight.
[Rimsky-Korsakov Scheherazade, The Story of the Kalender Prince]
There are only two mRNA vaccines approved anywhere in the world.
Ever.
In world history.
And both of them are COVID vaccines.
We are talking about the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines.
Are they approved in China?
No.
Not at all. Not even for emergency use.
Are they approved in Russia?
No.
Not at all. Not even for emergency use.
Why?
Because Russia and China developed their own COVID vaccines (many of them the traditional inactivated-virus vaccines).
Russia has four COVID vaccines:
–https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_V_COVID-19_vaccine
–https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sputnik_Light
–https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EpiVacCorona
–https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CoviVac_(Russia_COVID-19_vaccine)
[the final one is an inactivated-virus vaccine]
As I have proven in many articles, the COVID vaccines available in the USA are neither safe, nor effective.
Same for those of the U.K., Australia, etc.
What do the vaccines have to do with Russia invading Ukraine?
Use your brains.
Why would Russia and China not approve the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines AT ALL in their countries?
Isn’t it interesting how they (China and Russia) have also aligned themselves in regard to foreign policy?
What do the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have to do with their shared foreign policy (if they do at all)?
So Russia has one inactivated-virus vaccine for COVID and ZERO mRNA vaccines.
You can see what China does and doesn’t have here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_COVID-19_vaccine_authorizations
But let’s get back on topic.
Have you seen Biden brag about getting Viktor Shokin (a Ukrainian prosecutor) fired while Biden was Obama’s Vice President?
Now why would Biden be so interested in a Ukrainian prosecutor?
Why would he execute a quid pro quo using American taxpayer-funded loan guarantees to extort Ukraine into firing Shokin?
Listen for yourself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=UXA–dj2-CY
[Pauly Deathwish “Россия”]
Why, indeed?
What was Hunter Biden doing over in Ukraine?
Was he on the board of directors for Ukrainian gas company Burisma?
Was Burisma under investigation by Shokin?
Did the New York Post break this story during the 2020 U.S. election cycle?
Did Twitter lock the New York Post (third-highest circulation in the USA) out of its Twitter account for publishing and sharing the story on Twitter?
https://nypost.com/2020/10/14/email-reveals-how-hunter-biden-introduced-ukrainian-biz-man-to-dad/
What story did the New York Post publish the next day?
https://nypost.com/2020/10/15/emails-reveal-how-hunter-biden-tried-to-cash-in-big-with-chinese-firm/
Yes, Joe and Hunter Biden are even more corrupt in specific relation to China than they are to Ukraine (if that is even possible). But, of course, China did nothing about this. Because they wanted a President they could control. So they could take Taiwan (which they will shortly do).
So Ukraine had the goods on Joe Biden and Hunter Biden.
But they swept it under the rug.
Because they wanted Joe Biden to win.
So that they could join NATO.
And retake Crimea by military force.
[Prokoviev Alexander Nevsky, VII. Alexander’s Entry into Pskov]

So, I hate to say it, dear Ukrainians, but you should have been more involved in the politics of your country.

Congratulations.

Are you wishing now that you had exposed Joe Biden for the corrupt piece of shit that he is?
It’s a little late, maybe, to be researching this.
But you know who else knows about this?
The U.S. military.
Where is the bravery of the U.S. military?
Are you just gonna zip your lips and go fight another pointless war so that Joe Biden can cover his ass for all the mistakes he has made during his first year in office?
In case YouTube (owned by Alphabet Inc. [the owners of Google]) decide to take down the video link I posted above.
Here it is, once again: Joe Biden BRAGGING that he got a Ukrainian prosecutor fired by dangling billions of dollars in loan guarantees over their heads.
https://rumble.com/v7u8sd-joe-biden-admits-to-getting-prosecutor-fired.html
This is not a conspiracy theory.
It is a conspiracy.
It is a factual conspiracy.
Conspiracy fact.
Joe Biden conspired to get a Ukrainian prosecutor fired.
Why?
Was that prosecutor investigating Burisma gas company–a Ukrainian company on whose board his son Hunter Biden sat?
Yes.
Shokin was investigating that.
Until he was fired.
At Vice President Joe Biden’s behest.
The counterargument will be that Burisma was under investigation BEFORE Hunter Biden joined the board.
So there is nothing wrong with Joe Biden getting the prosecutor fired.
In fact, Joe Biden was actually trying to PREVENT corruption in Ukraine.
Give me a fucking break!
Joe Biden was the “point man” for Ukraine AND China during the Obama years.
Does his son, Hunter, taking a job on the board of a Ukrainian gas company that was under investigation for corruption sound like an above-board thing to do?
Never mind whether they were under investigation or not.
Why the fuck did his son join the board of Burisma while his dad was the “point man” for Ukraine?
And look at the second New York Post link I posted above.
Who was “the big guy”?
10% set aside for “the big guy”?
Hunter Biden did a big deal for a hedge fund after he and his father flew on Air Force 2 to China.
So who is “the big guy”?
Who was getting 10% of the “finder’s fee” for this deal?
Was it Vice President Joe Biden?
I think it fucking was.
That’s called SELLING THE OFFICE OF THE VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
Joe Biden was never fit to be President.
These are disqualifying CRIMES that he committed.
And Ukraine could have done the right thing and exposed it.
But they didn’t.
Great job, Ukrainians.
Thanks a lot.
Every news service in the world covered for Joe Biden.
Those same news services that are calling Zelensky a “hero” and vilifying Putin.
That same ugly chorus.
Viktor Shokin has spoken up.
There was an assassination attempt made on him.
Three shots from a sniper’s rifle.
Bulletproof glass on his office window saved his life.
Giuliani told you all this.
But you didn’t believe him.
You wanted to believe that Trump is a bad guy.
And maybe he is.
But Biden is far worse.
I am no longer in support of Trump.
Because Trump has supported these moronic vaccines.
Wake me up when Trump calls the neither-safe-nor-effective vaccines bullshit:
https://open.spotify.com/track/3VXsCvRbs1B6BmsVoeAvrQ?si=d8b08ba45df4415a
By the way, this wasn’t just any prosecutor that Joe Biden got fired.
It was essentially the Ukrainian Attorney General.
That’s a pretty fucking big deal, right?
Did Joe Biden, whose son saw fit to cash in on his dad being Obama’s Ukraine “point man” by joining the board of Burisma, really have the moral “high ground” to tell Ukraine who should or shouldn’t be their top prosecutor?
https://www.westernjournal.com/joe-biden-probe-ukraine-top-prosecutors-firing-report/
Does the U.S. military leadership love their country (our country) as much as Putin loves his?
We should just vote Joe Biden out, right?
Three years from now.
Biden hasn’t done that bad during his first year, has he?
I mean, WWIII being imminent is no big deal, right?
I mean…we can make it to the mid-terms, right?
And then Joe Biden’s power will be lessened, right?
So we can make it basically another year with an imminent WWIII hanging over our head.
No problem.
I’m sure Biden will handle this with the same finesse that he handled the Afghanistan withdrawal.
Speaking of which…General Lloyd Austin (who forced our troops to take neither-safe-nor-effective vaccines) and Mark Milley (who did nothing to stop Secretary Austin’s treasonous actions) did such a great fucking job getting us out of Afghanistan.
I’m sure Putin is shaking in his boots.
But here’s an interesting thought.
Putin is a man of ACTION.
His country was/is threatened.
He acted.
What has our U.S. military done to protect OUR country?
They just take orders, right?
Just following orders.
I have a bad feeling that they will be following Joe Biden into oblivion…and dragging us all down with them.
The U.S. military can’t take action.
Because there’s never been a military coup in the USA.
And we wouldn’t wanna ruin that record.
If we’re gonna be nuked, might as well go out with a pristine record of civilian control of the military.
Is Joe Biden fit to be President?
Is he a criminal?
Did he sell the office of the Vice President to Ukraine and China?
How about his mental fitness?
Is he cognitively fit to be Commander-in-Chief?
I’m sure if he weren’t, people like Pete Buttigieg and his husband Chasten (and their two newborns [their dads’ vaginas must be aching!]) will make the right decision and take one month of paternity leave (two fathers!) rather than two…to make sure the supply chain is functioning properly and ports are working well and there aren’t any cargo ships anchored off the coast of, oh, I don’t know, Galveston, or something…and Mayor Pete (who is a WEF Young Global Leader) will invoke the 25th Amendment because Biden is cognitively not fit to lead.
And then we would have dumbass Kamala Harris as President for the next three years.
Pretty rosy picture, eh?
If Biden was removed via the 25th Amendment and Kamala was impeached (just give her time), then our President would be Nancy Pelosi.
That is the outlook for the next year.
Anyone wondering if Joe Biden really got the most votes in the history of the USA?
81 million votes.
More votes than Obama.
Because he was THAT popular!
He was extraordinarily popular in Atlanta, Philadelphia, Milwaukee, and Detroit, but didn’t do all that well with the black populations in other major U.S. cities.
Anyone find that a bit odd?
He did REALLY, REALLY WELL in those four cities.
Like, abnormally-well.
He was probably carried by Kamala.
Who left the Democratic Primaries due to her popularity with voters.
She was polling at less that 1% when she dropped out.
So you got the President you wanted, Ukraine!
You made a pretend effort to rectify things.
Let’s not forget about Jan. 6 (which was worse than 9/11 or Pearl Harbor).
Do you Ukrainians think you are experiencing terror and carnage?
You have no idea what AOC went through on January 6.
https://republicbrief.com/russia-threatens-military-consequences-for-2-more-countries/
Let’s just make one thing clear.
Russia is not fucking around.
Is Sweden gonna join NATO?
Not if Russia has anything to say about it.
Is Finland going to join NATO?
Over Russia’s dead body.
Russia has had enough.
They have let NATO expand–right up to their very doorstep–for 30 years.
Ukraine is the line in the sand.
“Hero” Zelensky said he wanted (and intended) to take back Crimea by military force.
He said that 11 months ago.
Then, in September, Ukraine released their national security strategy: a stated desire and intention to join NATO.
Putin gave Biden and the West (Macron, et al.) a chance to call off the dogs.
Biden and NATO would concede nothing.
So Putin attacked.
And Zelensky is the “hero”.
And Putin is the bad guy.
And we just got out of a 20-year war in Afghanistan, so I guess it’s time for us to go fight in Eastern Europe.
In Ukraine.
How’s that Mexican border looking?
Wall finished?
Oh, we’re just gonna let immigrants walk across the border forever, right?
Because we only have 10% inflation.
So we can, obviously, afford to just take in and house the world.
Fuck it!
And Joe Biden NEEDS these voters.
These are DEMOCRAT voters.
They want socialism.
They NEED socialism.
They are poor as fuck.
And the socialism in their countries (like Mexico) was not working so well.
So they came here…to upgrade to a better socialism.
Except for the fact that we didn’t become a wealthy country because of socialism.
Quite the opposite, actually.
But anyway…send our military to Ukraine.
Make sure Ukraine’s sovereignty is protected.
And fuck American soverignty, right, U.S. military?
But how about the biolabs?
Were there biological (and chemical?) weapons in Ukraine?
Did Putin just bomb the sites?
Was the real “false-flag” gonna be a bioterror release by NATO to take over (close) the Bosporus and occupy Ukraine?
Was NATO going to release a bioweapon in Ukraine?
Were United Nations “peacekeeping” forces going to occupy Ukraine?
Did Putin preempt this plan by blowing up their biolabs?
If Fauci (and Daszak and Baric) was involved in the creation of COVID-19, then it wasn’t solely China’s fault.
China stood to gain.
Always ask, “Cui bono?”
But who were the American players?
If DARPA did indeed refuse the EcoHealth Alliance (Daszak) proposal to develop a “bat vaccine” (which was to be sprayed into caves in China), did NIAID (under Fauci) accept the proposal?
Was EcoHealth Alliance a front for the CIA?
What about the Defense Threat Reduction Agency at Fort Belvoir?
Why do they still have an ongoing contract with EcoHealth Alliance to study bat-borne disease in “Western” Asia?
Hm.
Western Asia, eh?
Like Ukraine???
Turkey is key.
Dividing line between Europe and Asia, right?
And St. Petersburg is a European city.
But what is really the dividing line of Europe and Asia in respect to Russian territory?
Where does Europe end and Asia begin?
What about the World Military Games?
Do you trust China?
I don’t.
But is there something to this story that COVID-19 started WAY BEFORE December 2019 (January 2020 in the USA)?
Are a bunch of people just trying to cover their asses?
Who planned the plandemic?
If it were a murder investigation (and it should literally be), the three prime suspects should be: Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, and Anthony Fauci.
Beyond them, I would throw in Pope Bergoglio and Prince Charles as very strong suspects.
But of those three–Schwab, Gates, and Fauci–they had the trifecta: means, motive, and opportunity.
They were, to extend the metaphor, caught red-handed at the scene of the crime.
Throw in Peter Daszak.
Throw in Stephane Bancel of Moderna.
What about Ralph Baric?
And don’t forget the Chinese in Wuhan.
“Bat lady”.
The only relevant thing Trump has done recently was to “praise Putin”, but then he turned around and called Zelensky a hero.
https://www.infowars.com/posts/trump-praises-putin/
Trump has made himself completely irrelevant with his stance on the COVID vaccines available in the USA.
But, hey: if you’re French, I have good news for you:
There’s only one problem:
is Putin controlled by Klaus Schwab?
Schwab brags in a video (in the above article) that Putin was a Young Global Leader of the World Economic Forum (WEF [Davos]).
Who are the other big feathers in Schwab’s cap?
Merkel, Trudeau, Macron, Ardern, De Croo, Sanna Marin…
It is possible (as of last week) to verify Macron, Ardern, De Croo, and Sanna Marin (as well as Buttigieg, Tulsi Gabbard, and Maria Bartiromo) here:
https://www.younggloballeaders.org/community
My gut tells me that former-Stasi (KGB) operative Vladimir Putin went to YGL to COLLECT INFORMATION.
Same with Maria Bartiromo.
As for the rest?
Fuck ’em!
Gabbard?
A fucking fake.

But Peter Strzok is guilty of treason.
The FBI may never regain any measure of public trust.

In Cleveland and Cincinnati.
In Minneapolis.
In Pittsburgh.
Some field offices appear to do little if any work.
Seattle and Portland come to mind.
Some field offices appear to have too many agents compared to their efficacy as a unit.
New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago spring to mind.
The most pathetic of all may very well be the Washington Field office.
A mere extension of the Hoover Building’s ethos, no doubt.
Barack Obama wants us to “reimagine” policing.
Funny that the President from Chicago should have the gaul to speak at all on law enforcement.
There is not a more failed, lawless city in America than Chicago.
Barack Obama used the FBI to spy on Donald Trump.
It was illegal.
It is an epic scandal.
And it is on a back burner named Durham.
John Durham.
Bill Barr failed the United States of America.
And Christopher Wray appears to be doing the same thing.
Barr went from being a CIA intern to twice being the Attorney General of the United States.
Wray is from Yale.
There’s a club.
And you’re not a member.
And neither am I.
Which is why I’m writing this article.
On my own website.
“Trust the plan.”
But what if someone above is screwing you?
What if there is no plan?
What if the cavalry is not coming?
You are the plan.
This is the plan.
Reinforcements will arrive at the right time.
But the moment must be ripe.
Like that banana on the cover of the first Velvet Underground record.
Now is the time to support law enforcement.
James Comey is a politician.
Andrew McCabe is a political operative.
Peter Strzok is as dishonest as the day is long.
We must continue to lawfully demand justice.
Our route is not to loot and commit arson.
Our route is not vigilante civil war.
Now is the time to support the military.
Lloyd Austin is a pathetic excuse for a general.
I am trying to give Mark Milley the benefit of the doubt.
I would even like to give Chris Wray the benefit of the doubt.
But Wray has slow walked the Hunter Biden laptop (among many other misdeeds).
So we will support the troops.
We will support military intelligence.
We support those who have sworn to defend the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
We support the rule of law.
A country without free and fair elections cannot be said to have an operating, functional Constitution.
It is our job to delineate the corruption.
Like a grand jury.
Follow the facts.
Spread truth.
You have nothing left to lose.
There is a plan.
And it is God’s plan.
We look to Maricopa County.
But we are legion.
And we swarm.
Wave your flags proudly.
You can make a difference.
Your family and children will have nothing left to put hope in if you fail to act.
This is the defining moment of American history.
Corruption has destroyed us.
It has brought us to the brink of collapse.
The fight now is one of information.
Every citizen must be engaged.
We represent the peaceful side.
Peaceful warriors.
Ready to annihilate with truth.
Truth needs no propagandistic push.
Truth only needs a brave voice to give it life.
Say it over and over again.
Until someone listens.
Say it until it is said back to you.
Wherever you encounter anti-American lies, return fire with truth.
We can truth our way out of this.
It will not be easy.
But the alternative is death and shame.

Filmistaan [2013)
I consider it an auspicious sign that my survey of Indian cinema begins in earnest with the masterpiece Filmistaan.
Do not mistake this piece of cinema for a half-baked idea.
Do not even attempt to lower it by calling it a comedy.
And not least, do not think only of India.
I wanted to come up with a catchy pigeonhole.
Indian Subcontinent.
The Subcontinent.
But I have too much respect for the great traditions of Bollywood (and Lollywood) to do such a thing.
And so this is very much an Indian film.
India.
And it is very much a comedy.
So funny!
But it is touching in a way to which few films can ever aspire.
Filmistaan, like Roberto Benigni’s magnum opus La vita è bella, takes on a very serious subject with the best weapon of all: humor.
But instead of the Holocaust, we get the Partition.
And yet, Filmistaan is not some laborious period piece.
[leave that to the artless Spielbergs]
No, our film addresses the tension between India and Pakistan in the most deft, feather-light manner imaginable.
And for this we have to thank a new auteur on the world stage: Nitin Kakkar.
I say “new” because Mr. Kakkar has not been graced with the honor of his own Wikipedia page in English yet.
Well, he is wholly deserving of that honor (based on Filmistaan alone).
But Mr. Kakkar had to have magical actors to pull this off.
Luckily for him, he did!
Sharib Hashmi is undoubtedly the star of this picture.
His performance as Sunny goes from the highest highs of emotion to the lowest lows.
It is truly remarkable.
Mr. Hashmi is about one month older than me.
40 years old.
Perhaps that’s why I identified with his youthful optimism and passionate devotion to cinema.
But to understand our film, we must first locate Rajasthan on a map.
It is the biggest state in India.
It is northwest.
And it borders Pakistan.
To understand Rajasthan, we must comprehend the Thar Desert.
Most of the Thar Desert is in Rajasthan, but it extends somewhat into Pakistan.
These are all important details in understanding our film.
Rajasthan is arid.
Like the American Southwest, it’s a good place to get lost…or kidnapped.
But friends are to be found in the most unlikely places.
And the friendship of shared interest, such as two cinema devotees, knows no borders.
For Mr. Hashmi, the brilliance of his performance depends on the artful support he receives from fellow-actor Inaamulhaq.
But let’s examine the divide between India and Pakistan for a moment.
It is a fact that a man from Peshawar (if he speaks Urdu) can communicate with a man from Delhi (if he speaks Hindi).
Peshawar, of course, is in Pakistan.
Indeed, it’s so far into Pakistan that it’s almost in Afghanistan.
Delhi, of course, is in India.
It is in the north-central part of the country.
It is, further, not essential that the two talkers hypothesized above be men.
The salient detail is that Hindi and Urdu are essentially the same language (in their spoken forms).
This is vital to understanding Filmistaan.
But continuing, the two languages could not look more different once they are written down.
[Which is to say, the two hypothesized men might be at loggerheads were they forced to communicate with pen and paper]
Urdu looks similar to its written forebear Farsi (the language of Iran) [which is itself a descendent of Arabic script].
To put it quite simply, a neophyte like myself would probably have a difficult time telling the difference between Urdu, Persian (Farsi), and Arabic.
Hindi is in the wholly different Devanagari script.
You will not confuse written Urdu and Hindi.
It’s at least as obvious as Picasso to Pollock (if not Warhol to Rembrandt).
But enough analogies.
Why should you watch Filmistaan?
Well, for one…it’s currently on Netflix.
Yes, ever since I have joined the streaming service, I have ventured to be a more “worthwhile” film critic by giving you relatively-spoiler-free reviews of current titles to be found on the U.S. version of the site.
But that’s only the beginning.
Yes, there are wonderful performances from Kumud Mishra and Gopal Dutt (as well as a plethora of fine supporting actors).
But the real reason is that Filmistaan expresses the sublime.
The context is terrorism.
The context is border tension.
Indeed, on the Indian Subcontinent, the context is two nuclear states.
Pakistan and India.
But the context goes back.
To Jinnah and Nehru.
And the threads bind.
Cricket. Cinema. Music.
There is an excellent example in Filmistaan which illustrates the situation.
Dilip Kumar.
Now 94 years old.
Like my hypothetical man from earlier, born in Peshawar.
Then a part of “Pre-Independence India”.
Now a part of Pakistan.
Bordering Afghanistan.
In Filmistaan, Inaamulhaq knows him as Sir Yusuf.
Sunny knows him as Dilip.
Dilip Kumar was born Muhammad Yusuf Khan in Peshawar in 1922.
Sir Yusuf.
Dilip Kumar.
Same person.
It’s like the World Wars.
fenêtre in French
das Fenster in German
window.
/\
fenêtre /\ Fenster
But when you look through a window (or a border), everything can look backwards.
You’re so close, in reality.
But you’re reading the word as if in a mirror.
Nitin Kakkar directed a masterpiece with Filmistaan because he put his heart and soul into evoking peace.
There are no winners in a nuclear war.
And peace is a rare commodity on the world stage.
Geopolitics…
But we must reach out that hand.
And shake it.
I congratulate Nitin Kakkar and Sharib Hashmi for their dedication.
It is evident.
Though I speak neither Hindi nor Urdu, I was able to watch.
And understand.
I needed the subtitles.
But sublime emotions may be mutually intelligible across cultures.
What a film!

Pee-Wee’s Big Adventure [1985)
This movie is kinda like LSD.
Not that I would know.
But from what I hear…
If you come into it with fear and anxiety, it will be a grating, disorienting, annoying experience. Frightening.
But if you come into it at peace and relaxed, you might just have a wonderful time viewing this movie.
The first third of the film was tense for me.
Everything is tense for me.
Thank God for drugs.
And so the rest of the film was quite charming and (dare I say?) meaningful.
We probably all know the Pee-Wee story…how he got caught whacking off in an adult movie theater.
But everyone deserves a second chance.
Sure, a guy who wakes up in the morning wearing lipstick and rouge might be a little suspect to some, but this whole film is fantasy.
Back to psychedelics…
It’s only appropriate that my old computer has just come down with the trippiest virus I’ve ever seen.
But no matter.
We push on.
Five more days.
Yes, Pee-Wee is like Mr. Bean.
And when Pee-Wee dances, it presages Napoleon Dynamite’s talent show jaw-dropper by some years.
Paul Reubenfeld –> Paul Reubens –> Pee-Wee Herman
In Hollywood, you can be anyone you want to be.
That’s entertainment (as The Jam sang).
But we have to give a shout out to the adorable Elizabeth Daily who plays Dottie.
Madame Ruby only accepts cash…even on a rainy night.
But she also does income tax.
Sure, Pee-Wee looks a little too comfortable in his Audrey-Hepburn-meets-Laverne-&-Shirley frock, but that’s part of his oblivious joy.
Large Marge is, of course, unforgettable.
Diane Salinger is really great as Simone.
With that aching dream to get to France.
I know. This dream.
I lived it.
And how I’d so like to go back.
“Au revoir, Simone…”
Nothing like sitting on a tongue…watching the sun come up between some teeth.
But then we get my hometown.
San Antonio.
And a lot of it!
Please don’t think we all speak like Jan Hooks 🙂
As an amnesiac, Pee-Wee can recall but one thing:
“Remember the Alamo!”
Yee-Haw!!!
So let’s see…fainting after bike theft (Truffaut) followed by EMS and oxygen? Check.
Amnesia after being thrown from a bull? Check.
Hospitalization after riding a Harley through a wooden sign? Check.
I am remiss to mention that I forgot the appendectomy in Spies Like Us.
These signs that God is looking out for us.
And France.
A story which didn’t resonate during my youth.
But only after I’d fallen in love to Messiaen.
Only after I became Tropic of Cancer.
A duck in Milton Berle’s pants is enough to get Pee-Wee on set at Warner Brothers.
What ensues is truly a zany take on the car chase cliche.
Then Pee-Wee frees the animals at the zoo. XMAS
And with handfuls of snakes, faints again (trumping Truffaut) before first responders revive him.
Breaking the rules was a way to promotion in the 1980s.
And when it’s couched in playful imagination, it is charming indeed.
When it’s funny. A farce. Comedic.
Pee-Wee as bellhop is like Jason Schwartzman’s understudy in The Grand Budapest Hotel.
Director Tim Burton deserves heaping credit for making this an actually timeless film. It is creative throughout.
It’s really a joy to see.
Just don’t take the brown acid.

La Belle et la Bête [1946)
We return to old wounds.
First tastes.
Last glimpses.
I told her, but she did not believe me. Belle.
And I have rejected several metric tons of noise to be a dedicated son.
Asks for a single rose.
Saved by a fire beneath a sturdy mantle in the cold countryside.
One of the first French films I saw. Maybe the very first.
Where my eyes were open.
King Lear and filial piety and the prodigal.
But daughters who are pure. Rare.
1001 nights. The same question.
The persistence of memory.
We must visit. We must move. We must be there.
Magic mirrors before Skype or Facetime.
Back when coups involved messengers on horses.
It should be Cupid firing the arrows.
And not chess against Deep Blue.
Folger’s instant karma.
Here’s your svelte reward.
And your big fat penalty.
It would be nice.
To finish my penance.
And in these tests to feel the peace of Mother Teresa.
That we can call on a saint and ask translation.
Guidance.
We don’t need the whole fairy tale.
Mostly the arms with candelabras and the blinking statues.

Corner Store [2010)
I previously reviewed the Palestinian masterpiece خمس كاميرات محطمة (Five Broken Cameras).
And we shall return to Palestine with another moving documentary.
Another masterpiece.
For this one we have a very perceptive American director to thank: Katherine Bruens.
But all of it would be for naught if not for a shining example of humanity: corner store owner Yousef Elhaj.
The occupation of Palestine can elicit such feelings of anger and disgust (as well it should).
But every once in a while a real kind spirit comes along.
And such kind spirits shame the despicable Israeli settlers and their vulture military even more so than the most vitriolic polemic.
Yousef Elhaj is such a person.
Sweet. Hardworking. Kind. Quiet. Patient. Hardworking.
And (big surprise) a Christian.
Here we see a different perspective from 5 Broken Cameras.
I suppose we are used to assuming that all Palestinians are Muslims (and a vast majority are), but it is interesting to see things from a different perspective.
Elhaj’s life in Bethlehem (occupied West Bank) was just as crappy as that of any Muslim living there or in any other part of the criminally unrecognized Palestine.
Another important point… Being Christian does not make Elhaj any less Arab.
Most importantly… Peace in the Middle East is possible because of people like Yousef Elhaj.
He is really a jaw-dropping personage.
So much sacrifice for his family.
7:30 a.m.-midnight.
Seven days a week.
A little corner store on Church St. in San Francisco.
And to see life in Bethlehem.
To see the hell of walls and settlements which the Israelis have erected.
The settlements encroach. The settlements surround.
Bethlehem is completely encircled by concrete structures which are too artless for even Frank Gehry to barf on.
That’s what settlements mean.
Don’t let the euphemism fool you.
“Settlements” are concrete apartment blocks built on stolen land.
That would be bad enough were it not for the ubiquitous (and racist) walls which stockade Palestine.
And yet we don’t see anger from Mr. Elhaj.
He isn’t shown at a protest.
He just wants his family to be alright.
And his main emotion upon seeing the decline of his home town of Bethlehem is sadness.
The Israeli gun towers. Turrets to protect the settlers. And to hell with everyone else.
The sadness as a business man is remarkable.
What made him leave in the first place.
Things weren’t just bad. They were awful.
And so he has been away from his family for ten years.
He could have brought them to the U.S., but our immigration laws are not written to think of people as people.
Rather, our laws reduce people to statistics.
Quotas.
I can only figure that Mr. Elhaj (as bad as things were for him) actually had it better than Muslim Palestinians hoping to start a new life in America. [Which is to say, Muslims in general are not in an enviable position at this time regarding their leverage in situations of immigration review.]
So let’s think about it…
Bernie Sanders might be a generally disposable candidate, but he’s gotten a couple things right.
When he talks about America’s strength being its diversity? He’s absolutely right.
It’s trite. It’s Democrat politics 101…but it is correct.
And Mr. Trump (whom I like)… Wanna see what walls do? Go check out Palestine. Actually get in the open-air jail. Don’t view it from a safe distance courtesy of the occupiers.
The walls are ugly.
Sad.
Pathetic.
Fearful.
Weak.
Mr. Elhaj has so much to teach us in this documentary.
You can succeed in America.
The opportunity is there.
It may not be pretty.
But when you’re coming from the hell of Bethlehem, it’s a walk in the park.
You do it all for your family.
Seven days a week.
For ten years.

Knight Without Armour [1937)
First, my apologies.
My apologies to every Jewish person I may have offended.
There is no good explanation other than to say that the Internet is rife with anti-Jewish sentiment.
I have experienced this irrational wave of nastiness and tried to fight against it.
But I am just a human.
A human with no friends.
And so I ask world Jewry to forgive my failings.
My mission is to speak peace. It is sometimes not easy to speak peace with a tongue of fire.
Many things I have posted over the years.
What I post is my opinion.
But let it be known that I am just as ignorant as anyone.
And so I ask God to send me Jewish friends.
I have long had my arms open to Muslims worldwide.
My spirit is one of acceptance.
I am no genius.
I accept the Christians of the world.
I have no grudge.
I understand the immortal things no better than any man.
I ask Scientologists to forgive me.
I don’t understand your beliefs.
There is no reason for me to denigrate you.
I ask Lenny Pozner to forgive me.
I don’t know what happened at Sandy Hook.
I know it seems very strange, but I am not a chorus boy for a wave of anger.
I ask the state of Israel and Israelis to forgive me.
I don’t know your country. I can’t pretend I do.
I ask everyone who has depended on me to forgive me.
I have only tried to tell the truth about 9/11.
Maybe I am wrong.
Maybe the truth is just as it was written by the 9/11 commission.
I don’t think so, but I’m willing to admit that I don’t really understand it.
I don’t understand physics.
I don’t understand intelligence agencies.
I would ask the CIA to please forgive me.
You are probably risking your lives and doing very honorable things.
I just don’t understand. I don’t know.
I haven’t been there. I have no idea what you do.
I ask the New World Order (which may or may not exist) to forgive me.
I know you’re probably just a bunch of well-meaning rich people.
I don’t know what your aims are.
I don’t hate you.
I don’t even know you.
But most of all I ask Jacques Feyder to forgive me.
Here I have taken the film review form as a way to ask forgiveness.
I have not talked about his film.
I haven’t talked about Marlene Dietrich. Or Robert Donat.
Or even the very interesting Frances Marion.
I’m sorry.
I hope only that by speaking candidly I can do justice to this wonderful film.
I always stand up for Muslims. And Palestinians.
But today I don’t have the right words.
Please forgive me, comrades.
And to my socialist brothers and sisters.
Please accept my apology. I don’t know what your philosophy really is.
I cannot criticize what I do not know.
I only know film. And my gut. And music.
In a word: art.
I stand with anyone who loves art.
My politics don’t make any sense.
Don’t mind me.
I’m trying to do the best I can, but it’s not good enough.
I’m a bundle of contradictions.
I can only press onwards and hope for the salvation of film and love.
Please forgive me Meir Kahane. I did not know you.
Please forgive me Jewish Defense League and Mossad.
And the Anti-Defamation League.
I don’t know what you’re up against. I don’t see what you see.
Please forgive me AIPAC and Southern Poverty Law Center.
I’m not sure if I ever insulted you, but I probably did. At least one of you.
Please forgive me George Soros.
I don’t think I ever insulted you, but I wanted to.
And that’s wrong. Because I don’t know anything about you.
I live in Texas where there are very few Jews.
I don’t know about Judaism.
I don’t understand.
But I don’t want to insult your tradition.
I don’t understand the Holocaust.
I don’t know what to say.
I can only tell the truth the best I can.
Please join me in a new effort of forgiveness and openness.
We can make a better world with wisdom.
I pray to you God for wisdom.
My words are impure.
I have tried. And yet my words are hollow.
Please breathe your life into my words and make them real.
Make me a decent person.
Thank you.
