If Russia can get around to bringing some God to the Arrogant West, we sure need it

Putin will do what is best for Russia. He has no ego in this tragedy. He speaks to that vastly diminished number of rational actors in the West, and especially the US, who still understand the gravity of the situation with the hope that they may have some influence on policy. And he does so in a very clear voice. He will avoid escalation whenever possible, but woe unto those who perceive rational self-interest as weakness or bluff. His message is in the beginning minutes of this video.

I share that assessment of Putin. I have thought well of him since around 2007-2008, when I read as much about him as I could find. He seems remarkably honest, to a fault, and idealistic.

He is remarkable. A decade ago I asked a dear friend who teaches law at UCLA what she thought of Putin's annual Q&A's, and especially his Munich 2007 speech. She had never listened to them but after doing so asked a colleague who teaches Russian History what he thought. He too had never listened to them but for a very good reason. Putin was ex-KGB so nothing he said could be trusted. If I told you what attending a UCLA talk about Russia or Putin was like you'd be in agony. They are Disney Looney-Tunes cartoons, all of them.

I envy you the farm and life partner. My gal & I are too old and otherwise unable to do much to escape a two-bedroom apartment in Los Angeles that will be vulnerable when things fall apart horrifically.

Putin never took a bribe, ever... He has or had a spiritual guru and went on retreats back around 2010. I have seen no new stories on that since then. He has a sense of his place in history. I am certain that he made his parents very proud, and satisfied their life-investments in him, having had sons die 10 and 20 years before his birth, and having both almost died themselves.

Dr John - I appreciate again and again your comprehensive synopsis of the sane and realistic human intelligence. 🙏The mystery of my grandmother’s repeated emphasis to me over 6 decades ago — “pray for the conversion of Russia and dedication to Our Lady” — comes clearer and Illuminating. Mr Putin sought and eventually received the rites of dedication for Russia to Our Lady from Francis who put him off near 7 years I think — in 2021 the miracle happened. Despite some ritual drift, the grace of Our Lady infuses the situation and St Michael stands with Her and those who seek to be righteous for life’s sake. Many prayers hold and it’s important to pray for the madmen as well as the Statesmen. I do wonder if it would be better to not say simply NATO, but US led and War Profiteering Globalist NATO since the extra effort and breath might have some effect in deconditioning the positive associations built up for NATO over so long. Maybe something short like “Will NATO be the death of us/US?” as a bumper sticker. Or, “Are you ready to die today for NATO and the Blackened Rocks”? They certainly have got Mr Putin in the briar patch with the escalation into the civilian casualties. I pray for him. RFK and Tulsi may have to say more re Vlad’s forbearance and limits. Maybe somebody needs to rerun Failsafe w Fonda. Whatever Vlad was, he is now an instrument of Peace. — Regarding Chernobyl, we long ago should have built a monument outside the UN to honor the 30,000 Russian men who went into immediate and certain death to cap the meltdown because the robots were failing under the radiation and only men in 5-10 minute shifts could do the work… and come back to die. They save the world. Another 200,000 Russians lived a while longer and died of cancer. Time to honor them. 💜

I visited Easter Island in 2004 and prior to that Pitcairn Island. A study of isolated populations.

Apparently human remanins were discovered in Pitcairn predating the arrival of the Mutineers. Was Pitcairn too small to support a founder colony based on requirements for genetic diversity ? Or was it lack of sufficient food production?

My obsession with Pitcairn Island "upstream" relates to my empathy for Fletcher Christian and how once he mutineed, he could never go back home. He was said to have made daily climbs to what is called Christian's Cave, a hollowed out recess in the moutnain either to watch out for ships from the British Admiralty, or to contemplate what was left of his short existence on Pitcairn prior to being killed by members of the Taihatians . He recruited several men along with some Tahaitian women to flee from Tahaiti and the British law. Just as once I had a suspension of my KY medical license by the KY Board of Medical Licensure, I could never regain a stable position as an orthopedic surgeon which required hospital priviledges. And I spent the remainder of my 25 years trying to salvage my career. I couldn't even get a position at the VA Hospitals or the Indian Reservation (Indian Health Services) because I had a record off suspension- because I had failed to check a medication for which I had given a verbal order to an operating room nurse to hand me, but for which she had directed an unauthroized tech behing my back to select and draw up, in violation of all hospital rules and registered nursing standards of care , and the tech instead drew up a lethal drug and my patient , a 21 hyr old man, died on the table as a result. Nothing happened to the nurse or tech.

Easter Island I had been told collpased because the Islanders had cut down all the trees to use as rollers to transport the monolithic statutes. This has been debunked. In fact, they simply "walked" "rocking" the upright statutes using ropes to sgtabilize them, like penquins, from the rock quarry in the mountain down to the coast, and cantilevered the bottom half into the pits to effectively erect them, thus concealing the bottom half. Some of the monoliths toppled in route, and these are seen on the path from the mountain to the coast.

But introduced rats may have devoured the seeds from the indigneous trees needed to sustain timber production.

And the slave trade decimated the population as well.

Writing from Greece I am not so sure about there being a WW3 coming up. As mentioned in Simplicius quotes of the Vovan and Lexis interview with [MI6 agent] Polish FM Sikorsky, war with Russia is a total red line in the EU, based not least on 75 years of knowing that it would be Europe that would be eradicated in a US-Russia nuclear confrontation. What EU "Europe" really wants is to finally be free of the US prison we are in, to be free of the NATO bullshit and for Washington's "EU" and its fake currency to collapse into dust. No one in Europe is afraid of Russia - evidenced by the complete lack of military preparation over 30 years to "defend" ourselves , LOL. Three fifths of the EU has historical good relations with Russia, the remainder are indifferent or predatory. ALL want to have good relations and trade with Russia and China, to enjoy OBOR and finally LIVE the geographic logic of Eurasia. That is the simple truth....and that is also why Washington has turned the screws tighter and tighter since 2003 and 2008 respectively.

I should add, it has ALWAYS been "Ally versus Ally" (pace Anthony Blinken) since WW2. His book which pretends to predict the future was a description of what IS.

I am worried about European old-money elites and also "the square mile" crowd.

The neocons need to go, but somebody backs them for various reasons.

I don't think I have a clear picture, but I do have a fair picture of the end-of-growth and the potential of catastrophic space weather in 10-20 years, and how there would be a variety of strategic approaches, all secretive.

European "old-money elites" and the square mile crowd, are one and the same and along with their Wall st. affiliates they are the power behind the neocons , whom they invented, just as they invented Zionism and Israel and invented MI6 and the CIA as private armies They are not old, unless you count a couple of centuries as old, but enjoy styling themselves that way.

The British Empire was transformed from simple beginnings to 'sun never sets' in the 19thc soley by means of jewish international banking,, the only such system existing at that time. Instead of sending ships loaded with gold to India and Canada - an invitation to piracy - a note could be signed in London which would release money from the Sassoons in Bombay. For example.

Determined to secure the riches and trade routes of both the Middle East and Russia, the same imperial forces have been engaged in these areas for 150 years and more, instigating 2 world wars and the Cold War (divide and rule) under false pretences, using open warfare, proxy warfare and terrorism.

Apart from controlling the region, Israel has been used as a base for crimiinal activity - as has Ukraine since its independence . The two wars are interconnected and can even be seen as a single war on 2 fronts, as should be clear from the ethnic composition of their respective governments and their identical backers. Perhaps a transfer was envisaged - Israel to the "New Israel" - as touted by puppet Zelensky.

To their horror and fury, they immediately lost Crimea to Russia and have since lost the principal wealth of the cobbled together Ukraine ie Novorussia, now restored to Russia, and lately taken a massive haircut on their constitutionally illegal investments.

Further south, they've lost access to Suez and the Red Sea, settlements in the north and south have been evacuated, almost 40% of the population has fled, the economy has crashed, the IDF is decimated, bases have been destroyed and Tel Aviv bombed just days ago by a Houthi hypersonic missile. Israel has become a pariah state and zionism and jewish power is been openly discussed internationally and in the US. The world has their number.

No wonder Blinken seems so nervous and afraid. He's the hinge between multiple masters. No wonder we're discussing WW3. The big question for these monsters now must be how they can make it happen, and how can they make it stick.

Hopeful developments, but what might be the path to get past the Samson Option?

Zelensky since 2022 said he wants Ukraine to be the New Israel. Meanwhile the old Israel is in freefall. Kissinger before he died declared Israel finished. Never mentioned is the huge gas field discovered in Ukraine after 2014...And Israel is deeply involved in Ukraine, not only diplomatially but also organ harvesting and child trafficking. One can also point to the convenient ethnic cleansing ("war") underway there, 40 years of dual passport oligarch government and a mostly jewish administration (Zelensky and his dance team) put in place by oligarch Kolomoisky. Yet all these things must never be connected.

The 2 wars are thus umbilically connected. And Biden's State department must keep both going until the election is over, caught between world and American public opinion and the Israel lobby and

transnational conglomerates like BlackRock and the Soros Empire. ("have all signed deals with Zelensky’s regime—and it’s in their great interest to keep those contracts active. Should Zelensky be removed, they know a new leader could annul their deals, causing trillions in future losses. Thus, it serves the cabal’s interests to keep as corrupt a regime in Ukraine in power as long as possible... ..`')

Here is a map of Ukrainian gas fields, largely Russian already, and more going Russian with each passing day. https://i.redd.it/tjaha0kcv7k81.png

Russians allude to "knowing who the enemy is".

I wish them well in this endeavor

I think the "owners" see that resource contraction, especially oil, has arrived, and that it is time to thin the herds, which has different implications, but they really only know how to do financial-resets during world wars, so...

It is possible to do it all through complicated negotiations over coming decades, and I think "we" should, but I have no say.

In the late 60-ties and early 70-ties the estimates from many different sources were clear that the earth can easily sustain 50-100 billion people if managed properly; i.e. “there was enough for everyone’s needs just not enough for everyone’s greed…”

The problem with the proper management became an issue and not the population itself…

The so-called pandemic happened for a reason. When all the details of the conspiracy between all the world leaders and governments are revealed, there will be no doubt left that governments are not to be trusted. We are talking about an event in world history that will leave its mark unlike any other event in the history of mankind.

Think about it: officially, your own government is at war with you…

5 billion people were injected with experimental substances claimed to be vaccines that were known not to prevent infection or transmission or do any good. They were known to be harmful in short and long term. Not only that the governments of the world do everything in their power to conceal and cover up the harms they had known were going to happen…

Furthermore, with a handful of exceptions, the governments continue to promote the injection that now they have clear evidence they injure and kill millions of people and they long term effects are not known but don’t look good..

Who is going to oppose most of world governments? Who has the power and the influence to do that? If this doesn’t happen and soon, the governments will give WHO, but more so the UN, unprecedented powers to continue the coverup by more vaccinations…

Did you notice that nobody really talks about how following the science the world was saved from the pandemic? Why? Because so-called science failed and most people know it. There is no science to support those claims. Hence the coverup…

I’m not sure if you are still a bible reader but I have always wondered how this bible prophecy is going to be fulfilled…

Matt 24:

“21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be. 22And unless those days were shortened, no flesh would be saved; but for the [c]elect’s sake those days will be shortened.”

Please note that earlier in the chapter Jesus described other signs before the great anguish or tribulation including wars. So, the Great Tribulation can’t be a WWIII or a nuclear holocaust…

‘The anguish of nations not knowing the way out’ of it must be something that the world has never experienced before..

Only time will tell what the Great Anguish will be but I have my own suspicion…

I don't think so...No African nation can even feed itself now... and with Rhodesia, the bread basket of Africa, reduced to rubble, it will become increasingly reliant on food from developed countries...China already imports most of its food...That's with maybe 8 Billion on the planet, and with topsoil and water resources being reduced every day...

Apart from that, who would want to live in such a crowded environment? The US was a much better country in my youth with 40% of the current population....

This is hard to be certain of, because translators always have assumptions placing what they translate into a contextual grid.

It makes me think of the 12,000 year space-weather catastrophe cycle: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V2decDcEJqo&list=PLHSoxioQtwZcVcFC85TxEEiirgfXwhfsw

Also, how many people the world might sustain always involves a LOT of assumptions.

Conditions change.

Everybody talks, but nobody knows.

Sorry John but I have to disagree…

Are good at math? We could do calculations ourselves… You would have a great prospectives because you can grow your own food…

My great grandparents, and grandparents had a farm… I visited it every summer. They were self-reliant and self-sufficient even during the WWI and WWII even though some of their children were forced to support the war…

They were never starving though food was often scarce…

Politicians don’t care about you or your garden…
