💬 Gonzalo Lira, a video blogger, author and famous film director and a citizen of Chile and the United States, has not been in contact since April 15 after he went missing in Kharkov. He was where the action was, actively commenting on the events in Ukraine, first in Kiev and later in Kharkov. He honestly and professionally reported about the causes of the crisis and the ongoing outrages, including the Nazis’ atrocities. His video reports have helped many people in the West see the truth. The far-right radicals hated what he did and he started receiving threats.
The liberal queers and “honest” Western journalists, which is often one and the same, echoed the neo-Nazis’ threats. And now these “members of the public” are merrily discussing Gonzalo’s disappearance and are openly threatening their colleagues who dare to speak out openly about the events in Ukraine without mincing words.
‘Patrick [Lancaster], you next,” tweeted a transgender journalist from Las Vegas, who is reporting from Kharkov and often takes photos with the thugs from the so-called territorial defence forces.
They are doing their best to cancel and cross out those who disagree with them.
Sergey Korotkikh, aka Botsman, a chieftain of the neo-Nazi Azov Battalion, has hinted that his neo-Nazi confederates could be involved in Gonzalo’s disappearance: “It is ironic that Gonzalo Lira, a Chilean, has been captured by the man whose alias is Chile. Anyway, hope to see a beheading video on Telegram soon.” How do you like that? Incidentally, Chile is one of those who murdered and tortured Russian servicemen.
The tweet has been deleted, because Lira is a US citizen, but nothing can be deleted from the internet without a trace.
This is fresh proof that the cannibalistic liberal logic is so closely interconnected with the Nazi ideology that it is sometimes impossible to tell which is which. This is indicative.
P.S. We sincerely hope that the media mayhem raised by Azov Nazis and Western propagandists is nothing more than theatrics and that Gonzalo and his family are all well.

💬 Speaking at the Davos World Economic Forum, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said: “And if we notice that our world is becoming multipolar, then that has to spur us on: to even more multilateralism! To even more international cooperation! In this multipolar world, very different countries and regions are demanding greater political participation in line with their growing economic and demographic influence”.
☝️ This is blatant plagiarism. Worse, it shows a failure to understand trivial truths.
Back in 1996 when Yevgeny Primakov was Foreign Minister, our foreign service proceeded from the assumption that the world was becoming multipolar in contrast to the bipolarity of the Cold War era. Mr Primakov’s view of our foreign policy goals was enshrined in the Foreign Policy Concept of 2000, and has been the foundation of how we have built international relations.
❗️ EACH YEAR, for over 15 years, Sergey Lavrov as Foreign Minister has spoken about a multipolar and polycentric world.
👉 QUOTES BY YEAR 👈
If it has taken Berlin up until now to realize this, we can only offer our condolences. Still, better late than never.
☝️ Perhaps, the situation in and around Ukraine will one day be as clear to Olaf Scholz as the issue of multipolarity.

💬 Washington has started recruiting “cyber warriors” for the army. On August 27, Brian Vile, Commandant of the US Army Cyber School (by the way, Vile stands for evil or foul) announced on his official Twitter account that they were hiring “nation state hackers”.
In fact, the United States has been doing this recruitment for a long time, but the term “nation state hackers” – hackers who serve the state and carry out attacks on its behalf – was openly used for the first time.
While earlier, Washington at least made an effort to keep such malicious activity quiet, preferring to remain in the background, now American officials are more open about their own “cyber exploits.” Major General Paul Stanton recently shared that America was training “offensive cyber personnel” to carry out hacker attacks. In turn, four-star General Paul Nakasone, head of the US Cyber Command, admitted on Sky News that US military hackers actually existed and were conducting offensive operations against Russia, in support of the Kiev regime.
This is all part of the US strategy to establish global offensive cyber forces and prepare for a full-scale war in cyberspace. We have mentioned more than once that they were working on this. Obviously, the West’s militarisation of the information space and attempts to turn it into an arena of interstate confrontation can lead to the most unpredictable consequences.
By the way, we reported in March that Russia – and even specifically the Ministry of Foreign Affairs – has been targeted by a series of cyberattacks on an unprecedented scale. State institutions, critical and social infrastructure facilities, and servers that store the personal data of our citizens and foreigners living in Russia are being attacked.
Their attempts to cover the tracks and deflect blame onto others by attacking Russian targets through Chinese computer networks have led to no avail. We know that the West is behind this. This is cyber aggression, and part of it involves the capabilities of the Kiev regime. Washington and its satellites are cynically using Ukraine, its infrastructure and human potential as a tool in their confrontation with Russia.
All this is unfolding against the backdrop of the third substantive session of the UN Ad Hoc Committee to Elaborate a Comprehensive International Convention on Countering the Use of Information and Communications Technologies for Criminal Purposes that began in New York. The Russian delegation is attending despite the obstacles put up by the Americans.

📌It is the trademark of the collective West to mislead the international community while pretending that NATO member countries have ultimate authority. There is no need to list all the examples of NATO double standards.
🔹Let me just remind you that Alliance countries are supposedly arming Ukraine to achieve peace and declare the need for a political settlement, but in reality they are telling the authorities in #Kiev not to restart the negotiation process.
🔹They assure us they have no intention of supplying tanks to Ukraine and then change their minds overnight.
🔹We have no illusions regarding the further strategy of the Kiev regime’s handlers on the other side of the ocean, as all the signs point to their intention to put the crisis in the #OSCE area to their personal gain, with others doing the work for them.

Points of no return
🔸 The tragedy that is unfolding in Ukraine dates back to the late 20th century, to wit, the collapse of the Soviet Union.
🔸 Two dates can be considered points of no return. The first one can be traced back to the autumn of 2008, when the Western world supported Georgia's aggression against the Ossetian people. The second point of no return can be dated back to the spring of 2014, when the people of Crimea expressed their will during a legally held referendum and permanently rejoined their historical homeland.
🔸 If the issue of Russia’s existence is raised in earnest, it will not be decided on the Ukrainian front. Not by any means. It will be a question of the future existence of human civilisation. And there should be no ambiguity here. We don't need a world without Russia.
🔸 One can continue to flood the neo-Nazi Kiev regime with weapons and to thwart every opportunity to resume talks. Our enemies are doing just that and are unwilling to realise that their goals clearly lead to a total fiasco where everyone stands to lose.
🔸 Western countries and their satellites represent only 15 percent of the world population. There are many more of us, and we are much stronger. The peaceful might of our great country and the high standing of its partners are the key to preserving the world’s future.

Referring to the munitions that the Brits are going to send to Ukraine, the UK Ministry of Defence announced "…that any impact to personal health and the environment from the use of depleted uranium munitions is likely (oh, how they love this word) to be low."
Apparently, they tested these munitions on the Skripals’ cat and ducks in Salisbury ponds.
Now, allow me to describe what depleted uranium in munitions really means, and without using the phrase, “highly likely,” that is their favourite expression.
First, a little history. It is most indicative that the Nazis were the first to use these types of munitions in armour-piercing rounds. Reich Minister of Armaments and Military Production in Nazi Germany Albert Speer recalled that in summer 1943, the import of wolframites from Portugal was suspended, which created a critical situation for munitions with a solid armour-piercing core. This is why he ordered the use of uranium cores for this type of munitions.
In the latter half of the 20th century, NATO used Nazi developments in arms and began to produce and use depleted uranium munitions in its operations on a large scale. The aggression against Yugoslavia was the most tragic example of this.
At this point, we will turn to modern factology.
As I have said more than once, Italian army service personnel in a NATO contingent were largely involved in operations that used depleted uranium munitions. We have accessible statistics:
Italian soldiers in Yugoslavia were in charge of the territory where more than half of all depleted uranium munitions (17,237 rounds or 56.47 percent) were expended. NATO staged an experiment on real people and not just Serbs but Italians as well. Serbs were to play the role of direct victims and Italians the role of secondary victims. This made it possible to study how depleted uranium affected those who used it. It is likely that no one planned to assess the results of this experiment, but the relatives of the Italian military personnel that died of cancer compelled the parliament to do so.
Here is the link to the relevant report.
This 252-page document is one of many studies of the consequences of how depleted uranium and radioactive thorium affected the military personnel of the Italian Armed Forces. In brief, according to the research ordered by the parliamentary commission, the cancer rate increased by several times in the areas where depleted uranium munitions were used. Precise information on the Italian military personnel that used these munitions was published. Of 7,500 people exposed to toxic substances and radiation, 372 died (a 5 percent death rate – every 20th person). Moreover, they died of painful oncological complications – kidney dysfunction, lung cancer, bone cancer, esophagus cancer, degenerative skin development, Hodgkin's lymphoma and leukemia.
We even know the names of those who died: Corporal Antonio Attianese, Private Leopoldo Di Vico and many others. They all died of terminal cancer.
The number of suits filed by Italians against their Defence Ministry is steadily growing. The reason is the same – the cancer they developed after using depleted uranium munitions.
By supplying Ukraine with these munitions, Britain wants to turn its territory into a scorched and desolate land. Nobody will speak Russian or Ukrainian there. There will be silence there, like in Pripyat and Chernobyl.

💬 Today, all Ukrainian and German media are showing the footage with Chancellor Olaf Scholz shouting the words of the Nazi salute, “Slava Ukraine,” (“Glory to Ukraine!”) with Zelensky and (unexpectedly) Tikhanovskaya in the background.
The Western elites’ poor education does not absolve them of responsibility.
“Slava Ukraine!” (“Glory to Ukraine!”) is a Nazi salute. We have repeatedly said as much, both during one of my briefings and in our social media posts that NATO officials hate so much.
Let me repeat this for those riding swastika-painted tanks.
The salute, “Slava Ukraine!”, was accepted by the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists as its official greeting in 1939. Later they added the gesture in the form of a raised and extended right arm and the response “Geroyam Slava!” (“Glory to the Heroes!”). This was how the Bandera collaborationists saluted the Wehrmacht units entering occupied areas, to the clunking of tank trucks and the heavy footfall of creaking boots. Marching along the streets and dirt roads of Ukraine, the Germans shouted in response “Sieg Heil!” and “Heil Hitler!”
Olaf Scholz has crossed the clear line drawn by all the leaders of both postwar Germanys: he shouted the Nazi salute in public. This happened less than a week after the 78th anniversary of the end of war in Europe.
It is not yet 80 years since the war. Berlin has a peculiar way of preparing for the anniversary. But possibly there is a simpler explanation: the German political elites are under pressure from corruption scandals. German politicians found a non-standard way out of the situation: they would do the Nazi salute at an opportune moment and thus show their loyalty to Washington.

“Your mission is to destroy as many Russian troops as you can”.
After we mentioned this at a briefing, the US propaganda started retreating, emphasising that Bush is not in power. You bet both Bush and Graham are. And they are still not telling us everything that is written in the US doctrinal documents.

The NATO summit should have focused their attention on this issue as the vast majority of the alliance member states will find themselves in the radiation exposure zone.

💬 Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Italy, Antonio Tajani: “The European Union must form its own armed forces that could play a part in maintaining peace and preventing conflicts. If we want to bring peace all over the world, we need a European military. This is a fundamental precondition for an efficient European foreign policy. In a world with such powerful actors as the US, China, India, Russia, with crises from the Middle East to India Pacific, Italian, German, French or Slovenian citizens can only be protected by something that already exists, which is the European Union. Defence and a joint military must become a reality. There is no delaying this.”
An EU military? Maybe, start with developing your own COVID vaccine? Or figure out how to defend EU borders in a humane manner and in accordance with international commitments? Or solve migrant and refugee issues? Then you can build your own military.
And yes, I almost forgot: to build a joint military it would be wise to understand whose fuel it will be using. Or, the US President just might come to Brussels and say he’s hiking fuel prices unless the EU military attacks whoever he tells them to.
By the way, why is it then that each and every NATO (think EU) country must pay colossal sums into a joint pool of money (de-facto to Washington), which has been claimed to be used to ensure EU security?

💬 Western “democracy” in nutshell. Latest news
Three weeks ago, Sweden finally joined NATO. We know that the Swedes themselves were never asked about it, but a few days ago, Göteborgs-Posten, a Swedish newspaper, published an opinion poll on what the Swedish people think about their country’s membership in the alliance. The poll involved over a thousand respondents aged over 18.
These numbers are highly indicative of the general sentiment.
Participants were asked whether or not they approved of the potential deployment of Swedish soldiers to zones of hostilities or NATO exercises. Three out of five respondents gave a negative response.
The decision of the Ulf Kristersson Cabinet to join NATO has polarised the Swedish public, with half of the population vehemently opposing their county’s membership in the North Atlantic alliance.
The Swedes are still coming to terms with the gravity of the situation. “It looks like Sweden waged a war against the United States and suffered a crushing defeat,” says a Swedish expert, Jan Guillou, in his article published by Aftonbladet, a leading national political newspaper. He is echoed by a columnist from the Dagens Arena, former Ambassador to Russia Sven Hirdman: “Now Sweden is a US vassal.” The Swedish people ask direct questions: “Does the increased NATO and US military presence in Sweden mean that our country is now entangled in NATO’s military controversy with Russia?”
They are starting to suspect something.
NATO membership is for Sweden a risky and costly change of priorities. The people of Sweden certainly do not need it. That’s why the government decided not to hold a referendum on the matter.

Three weeks ago, Sweden finally joined NATO. We know that the Swedes themselves were never asked about it, but a few days ago, Göteborgs-Posten, a Swedish newspaper, published an opinion poll on what the Swedish people think about their country’s membership in the alliance. The poll involved over a thousand respondents aged over 18.
These numbers are highly indicative of the general sentiment.
Participants were asked whether or not they approved of the potential deployment of Swedish soldiers to zones of hostilities or NATO exercises. Three out of five respondents gave a negative response.
The decision of the Ulf Kristersson Cabinet to join NATO has polarised the Swedish public, with half of the population vehemently opposing their county’s membership in the North Atlantic alliance.
The Swedes are still coming to terms with the gravity of the situation. “It looks like Sweden waged a war against the United States and suffered a crushing defeat,” says a Swedish expert, Jan Guillou, in his article published by Aftonbladet, a leading national political newspaper. He is echoed by a columnist from the Dagens Arena, former Ambassador to Russia Sven Hirdman: “Now Sweden is a US vassal.” The Swedish people ask direct questions: “Does the increased NATO and US military presence in Sweden mean that our country is now entangled in NATO’s military controversy with Russia?”
