In this post I examine the state of Ukraine, the prospects for peace, a new theory on Nordstream and the bleak future of a state intended to be modelled by its leader on…Israel.
The Quincy Institute has published an interesting proposal for peace in Ukraine.
It is called The Diplomatic Path to a Secure Ukraine, and its carefully researched analysis provides not only a realistic route to peace, calling for a revision of European security structures, but also notes the startling plan for Ukraine advanced by its President.
It is unacceptable to consider talking to Russia, but on a timescale longer than the news and election cycle, it is inevitable.
There is one point in this long report you might miss, even if you read it.
A BIG ISRAEL
In the propaganda brouhaha you may have overlooked Zelensky’s vision for Ukraine as a “Big Israel”.
What does this mean and why does it matter?
Faced with either permanent war or a decades long counter insurgency, Zelensky must advance some vision of Ukraine beyond the depressing reality of the present.
His big idea is Ukraine as a Big Israel. Why?
The US has donated over 200 billion dollars to Israel over 70 years
Most of the Western media is vehemently pro-Israel
So much for the propaganda war. Why else?
Zelensky saw Israel as a state which combined prosperity with a permanent state of emergency
Israel is no longer prospering. The Financial Times reported its economy shrank 20% following the outbreak of the war in Gaza.
Ukraine has a budget deficit of 16 billion dollars this year. It cannot survive without massive donations of cash from its main sponsor, the EU, and its second - the USA.
Europe has committed to giving 50 billion euros over five years.
With no further cash approved by a Republican dominated Congress thus far, Ukraine’s money supply looks to be stymied.
Most of the rich agricultural land has been sold off to US corporations.
The highest concentration of non-ferrous metals are now in areas controlled by Russia, which has stated it will not be giving any land back it now controls.
At the Munich security conference, Britain’s Zionist Defence Secretary renewed his support for Ukraine and claimed that “half of the territory lost to Russia has been regained”.
Russia now controls around 20 percent of what was Ukraine in 1991.
THE NORDSTREAM MYSTERY
No one at the recent Munich Security Conference mentioned that the EU has suffered the most devastating attack on its infrastructure since the Second World War.
This was obviously carried out at the behest of the United States. I have discovered the startling research of an anonymous blogger known as Mortymer, whose work presents evidence showing the best match for a suspect is in fact the United Kingdom.
I will be bringing you an interview with him soon, having spoken to him yesterday.
VON DER LEYEN HAS DESTROYED EUROPE
Europe is also crippled by sanctions, whose harm to Russia has been defrayed by its partnership with China, and other nations. Russia has survived its exclusion from the SWIFT banking system. It is not going to collapse.
The Quincy Institute Paper calls for a revision of the entire apparatus of European security.
This would seem sane, given what the current arrangement has done to Europe.
Today, the UK’s Daily Telegraph reported that
“It has taken five years for Ursula von der Leyen to destroy Europe”.
Lockdown borrowing, Green New Deal borrowing, the sanctions - and the mysterious mystery of the NordStream pipeline sabotage have all featured in the policy platform of European suicide overseen by the lifelong advocate of ever more censorship.
Von der Leyen, together with NATO head Jens Stoltenberg, nevertheless went on to “toast” Putin’s downfall at a drinks reception.
Pictured also is the brother of Vitaly Klitschko, also a former boxer - who has recently accused Zelensky of being an “autocrat”, “lying about the war”, “treating the soldiers like meat” and “slaughtering” them.
Noises offstage from Zelensky’s green screen appearances are growing louder for his removal.
WHO IS ARESTOVICH?
Alexei Arestovich is a former military intelligence officer and long-time friend of Zelensky. He was Zelensky’s Strategic Communications Adviser from December 2020 to January 2023
He left Ukraine after criticising Zelensky’s failed 2023 counteroffensive, citing fears of arrest. Given Gonzalo Lira’s fate, this was wise, as Arestovich has now made many highly critical remarks about Zelensky’s new Ukraine.
Arestovich, pictured above heretically noticing reality, published remarks on 19th of February which warn against the “liberal modern” utopia presented for Ukraine.
“All that Ukraine has been honored to do in 32 years is to replace the Soviet lie of Modernity with the liberal lie of Modernity.
When we were selling off and blowing up our past, we somehow didn’t realize that we were blowing up and selling off our future”.
A translation is provided by Prof. Glenn Diesen, a specialist in Russian studies, here.
Arestovich continues his warning, saying there is “no future” offered by “liberal lies”.
“This, by the way, is very typical of liberal lies – there is no future there as a genre.
You cannot return the USSR, obedience to liberal lies will kill us.”
Arestovich sees no future in the Big Israel of Zelensky’s imagining, nor in the Ukraine that Alex Soros has urged the West not to “abandon”.
The Soros family’s extensive operations in Ukraine date back to 1990.
These are some of the “liberal lies” that will continue to kill Ukrainians. The antinatalist and society-dissolving policies of the Open Society Foundations are well known.
If you would like to know more about precisely how “rights based” grievances promoted by Soros dissolve social bonds, see here:
In a further heresy, Arestovich has also said that “only Russia wants peace”.
It is to be remembered that a peace deal was agreed weeks after the war, which was sabotaged by then UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson. Brokered in part by Naftali Bennett, then Israeli PM, who has confirmed the “West blocked the deal” - as did the chief Ukrainian negotiator, here - who names Johnson personally.
THE TECHNO-LIBERAL DYSTOPIAN TEMPLATE
A 2023 report from the Oakland Institute revealed much of Ukraine’s productive land has been bought up by corporations such as Vanguard and Goldman Sachs – following a land reform law passed by Zelensky which allowed this foreign investment.
It is the site of the US Deep State’s pilot programme for “digital governance”, with its DIIA project - promoted by Samantha Power of USAID – serving as a “template” to be exported around the world.
Robert F Kennedy explained where much of the “aid” goes – to the military industrial complex itself, and the corporations plundering Ukraine.
So what kind of “Ukraine” is Soros asking us not to abandon?
It is a nation envisaged as a nightmare for its surviving people.
The message from Soros should be understood in this context.
His own foundations have long been engaged in the same failed project to collapse Russia to which his globalist dinner guests remain fully signed up.
The Ukraine they wish the world not to abandon is a nightmarish digital dystopia in a permanent state of war.
Is this “Big Israel” the vision they have for us all?
Outstanding. I have been talking about Ukraine as "Big Israel" for a couple of years now and have been called "ridiculous." IMHO it has also been called that because it was supposed to be the destination for emigration from Israel by hundreds of thousands of Israelis whose families originally left Ukraine for Israel through the 1990s. Unfortunately their plans have been disrupted by Russian victory in the war. Israel itself is a failed state, as everyone now realizes. So its population is slowly slipping away to places like Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, New Jersey, and California. Russia doesn't want them back in any territory it controls.
