Solve Et Coagula: Globalists Stir World-Wide Witch’s Brew

Posted on by

Recall the words of Archbishop Vigano, last August, in which he summed up the warnings of the wise over decades, and indeed centuries: what we face today in the 4th industrial revolution/Great Reset is not merely a remaking of the world order, but a refashioning of a new man.

To that end, provocation is heaped upon provocation in country after country:

DNA Exclusive on foreign interference in the crises in Pakistan and Sri Lanka

In Sri Lanka, pandemic lockdowns destroyed tourism and crashed the country’s forex reserves, while green zeal to use only organic fertilizers put the finishing touches on the economy, sending food prices soaring and necessitating imports of even food and essentials. Restructuring of IMF loans is on the table, while indebtedness to China continues. Long power cuts and massive shortages of fuel and food are wide-spread. Millions are starving.  India has sent organic fertilizers and aid, extended a line of credit, and deferred payments due under its Neighbor First policy.

No genocide inquiry has been launched.

Afghanistan is considered the world’s worst humanitarian crisis, following decades of war and instability. Millions are starving and/or are refugees. Over 24 million need aid. This follows on wars conducted by the Soviets, the Americans, and the Taliban.

No genocide inquiry has been launched.

Pakistan’s military denies that the US was involved in a foreign conspiracy to topple Imran Khan, embarrassing the President. But they would, wouldn’t they, given their decades-long covert involvement with US intelligence. Meanwhile, Khan has dissolved the National Assembly after dismissing a no-confidence motion, and is calling for fresh elections. Instability reigns in this nuclear-armed state.

Around 2 millions people in the Pakistan-Sindh area are in danger of malnutrition and starvation due to a food crisis caused by the pandemic and the lock-downs. No genocide inquiry has been opened.

A two-month truce interrupts 7 years of Saudi war on Yemen, creating one of the biggest humanitarian crises on the planet.

18 million Yemenis are at risk of starvation.

No genocide inquiry has been launched against Saudi Arabia.

Russia Become Most Sanctioned Country In World, With 5532

Posted on by

Economic Times, India, cites the sanctions watchlist site, Castellum.AI [New York] on the most- sanctioned country in the world, Russia:

The site said that 2,754 sanctions were already in place against Russia before February 22 and 2,778 additional were imposed in the days following the assault, bringing the total to 5,532……

Russia’s number now outranks Iran’s 3,616 sanctions, displacing Tehran from the top position, reports the BBC citing Castellum.AI as saying.

According to the site, the countries and regions targeting Russia with sanctions are Switzerland (568), the European Union (518), Canada (454), Australia (413), the US (243), the UK (35) and Japan (35).”

 

Armstrong Economics: Cash Flows Indicate War Is Coming

Posted on by

Martin Armstrong vi LRC:

Our model has ALWAYS picked up the shifts in capital flows that precede war. This time we are witnessing outflows not just from China, but also from ALL emerging markets on a scale that is simply unprecedented. The timing of outflows is clearly linked to Biden’s unprecedented sanctions against the Russian people – not just Russia itself as a political state. This has NEVER taken place in history before with the single exception of the US sanctions imposed on Japan and the freezing of all their assets in the United States which preceded Pearl Harbor.

It pains me to have to even write this today. But clearly, those who understand where this is going is to World War III and make no mistake about it – this is INTENTIONAL! Even the official data has revealed that foreign investors have sold a net $5.5 billion of Chinese government bonds in the last few weeks. Biden stupidly threatened China that if they support Russia, they will suffer the same sanctions. This is just insane and it is DELIBERATELY trying to destroy the entire world economy.

Ukraine Genocide: Russia Compiles Time-Line Of BioWar Labs

Posted on by

From Maria Zakharova, spokeswoman of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Russian Federation, via Saker.is, a chronology of what she calls BioBiden:

I will just add in new material/links to the text below, as I find time.

Obviously, this is from the Russian government and there will be things shaded their way, but there is nothing here that hasn’t appeared on different websites in the US press, both main and dissentstream, as my now-disappeared fellow internet warrior, Zahir Ebrahim, used to say.

1991– the US launches the Nunn-Lugar programme for the former Soviet countries to control/eliminate Soviet weapons of mass destruction including bioweapons. The Pentagon’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) was named as the programme’s main executor.

1993 – the Ukraine-US Agreement on the Prevention of Proliferation of WMD is signed.

2005 – an additional protocol is signed to the agreement between the Ukrainian Health Ministry and the DTRA on the prevention of the proliferation of technologies, pathogens and know-how that can be used to develop bioweapons. This is the start of the transfer of the Ukrainian military biological potential into US specialists’ hands.

2000s – large US military-industrial companies are engaged in military biological activity in Ukraine.

2005-2014 – Black & Veatch Special Projects, a DTRA contractor, builds and upgrades 8 biolabs in Ukraine instead of eliminating military biological infrastructure, as was originally claimed. One of the facilities, a biolab in Odessa, has been financed since 2011 for the study of “pathogens that can be used in bioterrorism attacks.”

2007 – US DoD employee Nathan Wolfe founded Global Viral Forecasting Institute (subsequently – Global Viral), a biomedical company. The mission stated in the charter is non-commercial study of transborder infections, including in China.

2009 – Rosemont Seneca Partners is established by former US Secretary of State John Kerry’ stepson Christopher Heinz and incumbent US President Joe Biden’s son Hunter Biden.

2014 – anti-constitutional coup d’etat in Ukraine.

2014 – Hunter Biden joins the Board of Directors of Burisma Holdings, a Ukrainian energy company.

2014 – Metabiota, a private commercial organisation specialising in the study of pandemic risks is detached from Global Viral. Neil Callahan and John DeLoche, employees of Hunter Biden’s company Rosemont Seneca Partners are appointed to the board of Metabiota. Global Viral and Metabiota begin to get funding from the US Department of Defence.

2014 – Metabiota shows interest in Ukraine and invites Hunter Biden to “assert Ukraine’s cultural & economic independence from Russia”.

2014 – Metabiota and Burisma Holdings begin cooperation on an unnamed “science project in Ukraine”.

2014 – Metabiota, Global Viral and Black & Veatch Special Projects begin full-fledged cooperation within the US DoD programmes.

2014-2016 – Implementation of Metabiota and US DoD contracts, including a $300,000 project in Ukraine.

2016 – US citizen Ulana Nadia Suprun, a descendant of Ukrainian Nazis, is appointed Acting Health Minister of Ukraine. The US DoD and Ukraine’s Health Ministry cooperation programme is greatly expanded.

2016 – an outbreak of swine flu among Ukrainian Defence Ministry personnel guarding a biolab in Kharkov, Ukraine; 20 dead. The incident is hushed up.

2016 – former US Assistant Secretary for Defence Andrew Weber is appointed head of Metabiota’s global partnerships department.

2016 – EcoHealth Alliance, a Global Viral founder Nathan Wolfe’s structure, is engaged in the study of bat-transmitted coronaviruses at the research centre in a Wuhan laboratory, China.

2016 – the DTRA and Ukraine’s Health Ministry extend the contract after getting approval from the Ukrainian Defence Ministry.

2019 – the COVID-19 mutated bat coronavirus pandemic begins with an outbreak in Wuhan.

February 24, 2022 – launch of the Russian Army’s special operation in Ukraine.

February 24-25, 2022 – rapid elimination of strains in biolabs in Ukraine.

March 8, 2022 – US Under Secretary of State for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland openly acknowledges the existence of cooperation between the US and Ukraine in pathogens.

West’s Hybrid War On Ethiopia Via WHO/UN Agencies Intended To Contain China, Russia

Posted on by

Andrew Korybko, an American analyst in Moscow, describes the role of the West in destabilizing Ethiopia by uncritically supporting the Tigre Rebels [TPLF] – a former leader of which is the current WHO chief and Gates/Clinton Foundation front Tedros, who has promoted the Tigre rebels even while in office .

Selectively focusing on one humanitarian crisis in the area while ignoring others preceding it for strategic and political reasons is the same modus operandi the West has used  in  Ukraine.

Ethiopia has come under unprecedented pressure from the U.S. ever since it commenced a military operation in its northern Tigray Region last November. Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed ordered the armed forces to respond to the Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF), which used to be the most powerful faction of the former ruling party, after it attacked a military barracks. Addis Ababa now officially considers the TPLF to be a terrorist group. It fell out with PM Abiy after initially facilitating his rise to power as a result of disagreements over his fast-moving socio-political reforms……..

….The U.S. and its allies claim that Ethiopia is carrying out a campaign of ethnic cleansing in Tigray, which Addis Ababa, of course, denies. This set the basis upon which the U.S. began to sanction the country. The first sanctions were imposed in late May to target Ethiopian officials as well as some of their Eritrean allies who, the U.S. claimed, were supporting them in their military campaign. The Ethiopian National Defense Force (ENDF) pulled out of Tigray a month later in June, claiming that this unilateral move would facilitate the international community’s relief efforts in the war-torn region that had attracted so much global attention.

The conflict did not end, however, but actually expanded. The TPLF felt emboldened to invade the neighboring regions of Afar and Amhara, parts of which it continues to occupy. Addis Ababa suspected that the group was receiving various equipment and other forms of support under the cover of UN aid shipments. It also accused the TPLF of manipulating international perceptions about the region’s humanitarian crisis in order to generate more support and increase pressure on the Ethiopian government. PM Abiy published an open letter to U.S. President Joe Biden last month, urging him to reconsider his country’s policy towards the conflict…….

This American hybrid war on Ethiopia is waged in various ways that deserve further study. They closely resemble the American hybrid war on Syria in the sense that the U.S. is using humanitarian pretexts to justify meddling in the country’s internal affairs. Its motivations to backstab its regional ally are entirely self-interested and zero-sum. The U.S. is uncomfortable with PM Abiy’s geopolitical balancing between Washington and Beijing. Although the former TPLF-led government was also close to China, the U.S. likely expected PM Abiy to distance Ethiopia from it, considering the pressure that Washington exerts upon its partners to do so…….

This leads to the next motivation for the American Hybrid War on Ethiopia, which is to return the TPLF to power there, if not in a national capacity, then at least in its home region….

…..The U.S. “humanitarian imperialism”, as one can now call its policy against Ethiopia, is very pernicious. It focuses solely on the humanitarian crisis in the Tigray Region while ignoring the ones that the TPLF caused in the neighboring Afar and Amhara regions. This policy also manipulates perceptions about the situation in Tigray in order to delegitimize PM Abiy, the ENDF and the political cause of national unity that they are fighting for. The purpose is to encourage more members of the international community to pressure Ethiopia to the point where it finally feels compelled to politically capitulate. This policy, however, has proven to be counterproductive.”

From Andalou Agency.com:

“The Tigray conflict has motivated the West to exert pressure and thereby control Ethiopia that aspires and have been pursuing an independent foreign policy,” he said.

He said the US and Europe are concerned about the growing influence of China and that looks like the reason behind pressuring Ethiopia.

“Chinese direct investment (FDI) in Ethiopia had reached US$4 billion and bilateral trade had grown to $5.4 billion,” he added.

At the UNSC, Beijing vetoed the US and European resolution aimed at sanctioning and condemning Ethiopia over the Tigray crisis.

He said both countries (China and Ethiopia) were well aware of the motive and have been now upgrading their political relations by conducting a higher-level political meeting.

“The pressure is pushing Ethiopia to find trustworthy friends in the form of China, Russia, and other developing nations. Africa must embrace the new world order and resist humiliating western demands,” said Wuhibegzer.”

 

Sanctions On Russia: Economic Operation Barbarossa

Posted on by

From Daniel Larison:

The recent act of “the West” — governments and central bankers in league and in unison — to expropriate what Biden called “Putin’s $630 billion war fund” is really off the charts by way of economic warfare, something that just wasn’t done in the 18th and 19th centuries, even in terrible extremities. Debts were paid, even to cretins. The reputation for trustworthiness was the banker’s most precious asset, and it became the creed of nations. Only by an authoritative legal process, governed by the law of nations, might someone else get their hands on your stash.

In the three centuries before 1914, beginning the age in which all restraints in war, military and economic, were obliterated, such a default was seen in “civilized Europe” as equivalent to the method of “the barbarian” — “we like, we take.” But not only by them. Vigorous shakings of the head in disapproval would also have come from the Princes of Africa, the Sultan of the Turks, the Kings of Persia and China, the Great Mogul of India, the Grand Duke of Moscovy, the Emperor of Ethiopia (Prester John), the rulers of Japan and Morocco, and the Khanate of Crimea………

…The commentariat treats this Vast and Unprecedented Expropriation, this Financial H-Bomb, alongside things like sanctioning Putin’s niece as just parts of a generic class of “sanctions,” as if they were two peas in a pod, when the Central Bank Expropriations are a revolutionary stake into the heart of the global economic system. They will one day be seen as hurtling us to a new monetary order, distinguished across the East-West divide by a rabid neomercantilism, wealth-destroying but inexorable.

In name the central bank actions are a freeze, but in actuality they constitute a debt repudiation, a default, on a far bigger scale than anything engineered by the Bolsheviks, who put the debts of the Tsar to the torch when they came to power.

The situation is made all the more incredible by two facts. First, the contemporary default occurred at the center of the financial order, not at its periphery. That makes it staggering and unlike any other. Second, it was cooked up in a couple of hours by U.S. government staffers. Previous discussions of sanctions had always treated Russia’s removal from SWIFT as the Absolute Weapon. The Great Freeze on Russian assets never made it into the press.

Our leaders in thought and action, the ones at the top of the political and financial and corporate media hierarchy, violated the first rule, the indispensable rule, the rule on which our grand financial edifice was built. Full faith and credit wasn’t just a phrase; it was a way of life. The idea of it, a new model of civilization, generated rules that most princes and peoples came to respect. No more………

Cassandra would like to say in reply: the Great Expropriation will come to be regarded as the financial equivalent of Operation Barbarossa, which sowed terror in all that lay in its path but which created through overextension and hubris the basis for its subsequent reversal. Our leaders, our “oligarchs,” have not necessarily shot themselves in the foot with these measures, but they have definitely shot their peoples in the foot, and they do not seem to care.

Putin’s Sanctioned Billionaires Take Refuge In UAE

Posted on by

While Ukraine’s elites have fled to the West or to Israel, Putin’s billionaire backers, pressed by Western sanctions, are seeking refuge in the UAE.  The UAE has already snubbed the USA when it refused Biden’s phone calls and his demands to increase oil production. Will the UAE now add to the US’s discomfort by giving shelter to Putin’s backers?

WHO’s Coming Pandemic Police State Will Not Need A Vote

Posted on by

I  blogged recently on the fact that the Gates Foundation-funded vaccine cartel GAVI had articles on its site mulling the current bioterrorism potential of Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever [one of the diseases studied and tested in the US- run Ukrainian biolabs], as well as assessing the future pandemic potential of CCHF, along with nine other similarly lethal pathogens whose human-to-human transmissibility is currently regarded by scientists as low…..

At least, that is the public position of scientists. However, it is entirely possible that biowar researchers have already weaponized these pathogens into pandemic-capable organisms, in some secret lab somewhere.

GAVI’s musings are related to the currently unfolding plans for a supranational medical police state run by WHO, which fronts for GAVI, in concert with the globalist cabal of Klaus Schwab and the World Economic Forum.

Some hardworking researchers have pulled up Schwab’s Nazi and Jewish roots and relationship to the myriad overlapping secret societies that work incessantly for global government.

From the Council of the European Union:

The Council adopted on 20 May 2021 a decision to support the launch of negotiations for an international agreement on the fight against pandemics within the framework of WHO.

The Council adopted on 3 March 2022, a decision to authorise the opening of negotiations for an international agreement on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response……

The intergovernmental negotiating body will hold its next meeting by 1 August 2022, to discuss progress on a working draft. It will then deliver a progress report to the 76th World Health Assembly in 2023, with the aim to adopt the instrument by 2024.

Some ideas being discussed  include banning wildlife markets, offering incentives for detecting viruses, and imposing sanctions on countries that conceal pandemic information. This last suggestion comes from the former terrorist and long- time shill for the Clinton and Gates Foundations, WHO’s non-medical chief, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus. Until now, sanctions have always been a non-starter for the WHO.

The Working Group on Strengthening WHO Preparedness and Response [WGPR] spelled out some further tools being considered:

The document speaks to the following recommendations: surveillance systems that would link into each country’s national health system; the implementation of universal digital vaccination certificates and guidelines on how each member country would be paying fees to the World Health Organization, in addition to the annual membership fees each member country is already paying.

An honorary professor at the Russian Academy of Medical Science and a former WHO employee turned whistleblower Astrid Stuckelberger is concerned that very few groups have had any access to the closed-door deliberations unless they are NGO’s officially working with the WHO.

Members of WHO will also not have any say in deciding whether they want to adopt the new treaty or not.

This delegation [put together to draft the Pandemic Treaty] has been embedded in the Constitution of WHO, and is immediately approved by 194 member states, regardless of whether they adopt its principles. This delegation is legally binding according to the International Health Regulations,”

This would let the coming police state automatically override the national constitutions of the member nations.

This Pandemic police state will be a centralized, digitalized, and technocratic reset of the world order using human AND ANIMAL health and the environment as a pretext.

Consider who will represent these competing interests, how the balance between them will be determined, and who will come out the loser.

Succinctly, the pandemic police state can and will use the protection of wildlife of all kinds as an excuse to enforce regulations that will run against human welfare, especially against those human beings regarded as lesser in its worldview: the elderly; the seriously or chronically ill; the mentally handicapped; the disabled; preborn or newly born infants; the genetically defective, or even merely suboptimal.

Along with these will be grouped political foes and dissidents, domestic and foreign; tribes and ethnicities  that are not allies or considered regressive, primitive or inferior in any way; so-called terrorists and subversives engaged in wrong-think; businesses small and large that get in the way of the cartels favored by WHO; conservatives and traditionalists of many religious and non -religious backgrounds whose values clash with the counter-civilizational projects of the nascent world order.

 

 

Ukie Labs Studied Deadly Viruses, Targeted Slavs

Posted on by

The Russians have made further statements about the US biolabs in Ukraine, including the bombshell revelation that they collected serum samples specifically from Slavic people alone and sent them abroad to Germany and Australia.

The pathogens stocked and developed include some of the deadliest known to man, including anthrax, plague, brucellosis, H5N1 flu and others with a mortality rate over 50%.

Much of the documentation had already been removed and sent abroad, apparently to Poland, before the Russians discovered them, but there also remains employee testimony.

To be clear, the research was done completely under the supervision of American scientists. The studies ran to figuring out how to infect and then transmit pathogens through the migratory bird population, of which Ukraine is a hub, as well as how to use insect and bat vectors.

Details of the UP-4 project became known, which was implemented with the participation of laboratories in Kiev, Kharkov and Odessa and was designed for the period up to 2020.

Its purpose was to study the possibility of the spread of particularly dangerous infections through migrating birds, including highly pathogenic H5N1 influenza, the mortality rate of which reaches 50 percent for humans, as well as Newcastle disease.

Due to the fact that Ukraine has a unique geographical location where transcontinental migration routes intersect, 145 biological species were studied within the framework of this project. At the same time, at least two species of migratory birds were identified, whose routes pass mainly through the territory of Russia. At the same time, information about migration routes passing through the countries of Eastern Europe was summarized.

Of all the methods developed in the United States to destabilize the epidemiological situation, this is one of the most reckless and irresponsible, since it does not allow to control the further development of the situation. This is confirmed by the course of the pandemic of a new coronavirus infection, the occurrence and features of which raise many questions.

In addition, the R-781 project is interesting, where bats are considered as carriers of potential biological weapons agents.

Among the priorities identified are the study of bacterial and viral pathogens that can be transmitted from bats to humans: pathogens of plague, leptospirosis, brucellosis, as well as coronaviruses and filoviruses.
It is noteworthy that the research is carried out in close proximity to the borders of Russia – in the areas of the Black Sea coast and the Caucasus.

The project is being implemented with the involvement of not only Ukrainian, but also Georgian biological laboratories controlled by the Pentagon in cooperation with the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and the US Geological Survey.

The analyzed materials on the UP-8 project, aimed at studying the Congo-Crimean hemorrhagic fever virus and hantaviruses in Ukraine, clearly refute the US public statement that only Ukrainian scientists work in the Pentagon biolabs in Ukraine without the intervention of American biologists. One of the documents confirms that all serious high-risk studies are conducted under the direct supervision of specialists from the United States.

Israeli Investment in Ukrainian Real Estate

Posted on by

From Haaretz.com:

It’s hard to assess the extent of Israeli investments in Ukrainian real estate. Most of them, according to professionals and experts active in the country’s real estate market, are small investors looking for profitable opportunities, rather than developers. Large companies are active mainly on the margins, and for the most part prefer neighboring country. According to attorney Avraham Lalum, who represents a series of international companies and embassies operating in Ukraine, including the Israeli embassy, in recent years Israeli real estate transactions in the country have numbered at least 100 a month. Lalum and others say the spike in Israelis’ interest in Ukraine really happened in the past two or three years, but note that the trend began already in 2014 and 2015, with the start of the recovery from Russia’s invasion of Crimea.
