Tbilisi, Mar 2, 2022
Agendas continue to align and expose themselves daily. The scale of sanctions against Russia begins to look like a full-blown economic isolation.
In short, the austerity being imposed on Russia is a reflection of what The Great Reset will do to the former citizens of other countries — “former” because we are being stripped of any rights that signify citizenship.
Some Atlanticists talk of a new Cold War. That is telling because it was the fall of the Soviet Union that coincided with the West tearing up the social contract.
With no “workers’ paradise” to compete with, 1991 marked the descent into the defunding of pension schemes, the ravaging of welfare programmes and the reduction of wages in real terms after inflation. Credit to John Lanchester for describing this in Whoops! Why Everyone Owes Everyone and No One Can Pay (2010).
In this new Cold War, the spectre of the Soviet Union, in the unlikely shape of Russia, is once again projected on the screen — but this time to tell the worker he must sacrifice in the name of the Comirnaty: “you will own nothing and you will be happy.”
There are several ironies or non-sequiturs here. One is that Russia has followed the Western prescription for the ideal economy in many ways. It has a flat tax rate of 13 per cent. It has a minimal welfare system: there is no net if you fall. Survival is up to the individual.
How come we are not offered similar tax rates since that idea emanated from Western economists and libertarians? And if we must pay higher taxes, where is the benefit to lure us away from the Russian bear or the Chinese dragon?
Keep in mind the origins of Event Covid and you can perceive a common thread. The plans for lockdown, including the mass printing of money to be channeled directly to large corporations and The Investors* was a strategy created by BlackRock asset management before the pandemic was announced. This was motivated not by fears of plague but economic collapse, stemming from the unresolved 2008 financial crisis.
Many banks and corporations are effectively insolvent, supported only by massive money creation by the privately-owned Federal Reserve central bank, which shovels low-interest cash to buy back stocks and prop up asset prices.
The private bankers don’t do charity. When TSHTF either through a 1930s-style collapse or hyperinflation, they will be well placed to grab the assets for a song, scooping the chips off the baize table because they control the croupier.
On top of the banking and corporate crisis there is a welfare and pension shortfall. Many governments have spent the social security and national insurance contributions of their population, while failing to put money aside for state employees. In the United States bureaucratic pensions alone are in the red by more than $1 trillion.
Military update
Kyiv’s mayor said the city was encircled — which others do not report — and he clarified the comments to refer to the shortage of transport out of the capital.
Russian and Ukrainian forces traded artillery and short-range ballistic missiles in the southern cities of Zhytomyr and Mariupol. Russian military claimed control of Kherson. In the northeast, dozens were killed in the shelling of Kharkiv.
Ukrainian troops fired from Grad multiple missile launchers into the settement of Zhelobok in the Lugansk People’s Republic.
Yesterday defence minister Sergei Shoigu said the mission of demilitarizaton and denazification would be pursued to its conclusion.
He told a briefing on Tuesday that soldiers were targeting military installations, not civilians. The Kremlin spokesman rejected claims that Russian military was using cluster or vacuum bombs as claimed by Ukraine’s ambassador the the U.S. and NGOs including Amnesty International and Human Rights Watch.
Russian impact
Russia upped the ante telling the United States' that it was unacceptable for American nuclear weapons to be located in European countries.
Foreign minister Sergei Lavrov said it was high time for them to be returned to where they belong. He said Moscow would cooperate with Washington on a new stability strategy.
European authorities named seven Russian banks to be disconnected from the SWIFT messaging system, making it harder for them to send and receive funds on behalf of customers. The banks included VTB, Promsvyazbank and VEB.
Russia’s biggest bank, the state-owned Sberbank, announced it is quitting the European market.
The EU is developing a fourth package of sanctions, according to Austria’s foreign minister Alexander Schallenberg.
Social media companies Google and Meta (Facebook) withdrew some services from Russian broadcasters and news agencies and Twitter added the label “Russia state-affiliated media” to accounts.
Ukraine action
Last week Kyiv announced it would empty the prisons and release criminals with combat experience. It then handed out guns in the street. The result, according to Kyiv-based vlogger Gonzalo Lira, “Coach Red Pill”, this means citizens now face danger not just from missiles but from hoodlums, too. That’s led to robberies, looting and rapes, he says. A lot of the shooting in Kyiv in recent days was gang related.
Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy said another round of talks with Russia would take place Wednesday evening. Representatives held five hours of talks on Monday. Fighting continued through the talks.
Zelenskiy on Wednesday urged Jewish people around the world to condemn Russia for seeking to “erase” Ukrainians after Russian missiles damaged Kyiv television tower which is next to the Babi Yar memorial.
“Nazism is born in silence. So shout about killings of civilians. Shout about the murders of Ukrainians.”
Yet the murder of more than 33,000 Jews was partly perpetrated by Ukrainian nationalists. Israel’s then president Reuven Rivlin said in 2016:
“Many collaborators to the crimes were Ukrainians. And among them, the fighters of the OUN — who mocked the Jews, killed them, and in many cases handed them over to the Germans — particularly distinguished themselves.” [1]
This underlines the very real presence of Nazi-aligned fascists within the Ukrainian military and government which has been extensively documented by the state-corporatist media as well as by journalists like Oleksiy Kuzmenko.
The UN’s International Court of Justice says it will hold public hearings on March 7-8 over Ukraine’s allegations of “genocide” by Russia. [2]
The popularly-named World Court was an initiative of the last Tsar Nicholas II and his cousin Kaiser Wilhelm II to try to defuse the arms race of the late 1890s. It was hijacked by Andrew Carnegie and the bankers. World War One ensued.
China weighed in saying that the U.S. remains the real threat to the world, saying it had bombed over 20 countries since WW2, representing one third of the world’s population.
Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communications and Information Security said Bulgaria, Poland and Slovakia are supplying 56 MiG-29 and 14 Su-25 fighter jets. (Update: The plan to send combat aircraft was quashed by NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on his visit to Poland on Mar 1.)
International perspective
The U.S. has long used its economic pre-eminence as a weapon to isolate rivals. In recent years it’s taken advantage of expanding natural gas production and the rise of new trading hubs to ally with major energy buyers, like India, and use them as buffers between the demand of China and the energy muscle of Russia and the Gulf.
