Belize City, Oct 2nd 2022: Well, has the Third World War started? The smart people believe it has, but 90% of the global population don’t believed this statement. Rubbish most people will say because the majority of the world’s population believe mass media and their government’s propaganda.
Aleksandar Vucic, Prime Minister of Serbia made the following alarming comment during the first day of the UN General Assembly session in New York, last week, according to RT. The quote from Vucic about the Ukraine conflict is:
I assume that we’re leaving the phase of the special military operation and approaching a major armed conflict, and now the question becomes where is the line, and whether after a certain time – maybe a month or two, even – we will enter a great world conflict not seen since the Second World War.
Meanwhile Wall Street has been quietly advising its large customer to buy gold and silver coins and get out of stocks. Morgan Stanley has been warning of “something worse than a recession” coming. And last Saturday, Gregory Copley, an Australian writer, entrepreneur, defense analysis and president of ISSA in Washington, DC writing in Epoch Times, wrote that:
“Russian President Vladimir Putin finally abandoned hope in mid-September that he could rebuild a bridge to the West.
With that realization, he committed Russia to the new anti-Western pact.
The turning point was the signal Putin received from the United Kingdom over the funeral of Queen Elizabeth II. It had little to do with the military setbacks in the Ukraine war, for which he had already begun planning.
Russia’s new, harder-line anti-Western policy was essential for building a new strategic bloc with China, Belarus, Iran, North Korea, and, de facto but integrally, NATO member Turkey… The desired British response did not come. Moreover, when the British Crown and government issued invitations to foreign heads-of-state to attend Queen Elizabeth’s state funeral on Sept. 19, Russia was explicitly excluded, one of the few states to be singled out. Even North Korea received an invitation.”
Everyone knows that since about May/June of this year, the Ukraine military has been under the effective control of the UK and US military – NATO is thus effectively a part of the Ukraine conflict – not only supplying heavy arms and intelligence but directing the conflict. The conflict in Europe is now between Russia and the aggressor NATO whose purpose, as the UK and USA have publicly stated, is the destruction of Russia and the splitting up of Russia into three new countries, basically to get control over the vast natural resources of Russia.
After Russia’s decision to join the anti-Western bloc, Russia announced a new direction of the war they had been planning for the last 6 weeks. The brilliant Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov put it best last week at the UN General Assembly. According to Minister Lavrov, for the last eight years, the neo-Nazi Ukraine government have been telling the populations of Kherson Oblast, Zaporhyzhia Oblast, Luhansk Oblast, and Donbass Oblast to go to Russia since they have refused to accept the results of the violent Western overthrown of the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014. In these areas, including Odessa, and Crimea the populations have been traditional Russian speakers. The people of Luhansk and Donbass took up arms against the illegal Western imposed Ukraine government and declared their areas independent of Ukraine since 2014. Two years later, Germany, France, Russia and Ukraine agreed to the Minsk Agreement, but the NATO puppet government of Ukraine has refused to implement the Minsk Agreement and have over the eight years killed over 20,000 citizens of the Luhansk Oblast and Donbass Oblast. According to Foreign Minister Lavrov, in his UNGA speech, the people of the four Oblasts will decide in referendums on September 23 to September 27th if they wish to go to Russia, and “if they decide yes, then they will bring their land with them”. He also reminded the reporters at the UN that when the USA sized California, New Mexico, and Arizona, from Mexico, no referendums were given. And recently, Israel has been taking lands from Palestine, but no referenda has been held. Raw violence has been used by the Imperial West.
On September 28th, RT reported that over 80% of those who voted in the four referendums, voted yes to join the Russian Federation. While the voting was going on, the EU said it will issue sanctions against the international observers from France, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands, Brazil and other countries. The results will now have to be certified by the Russian Duma, and once Putin signs the order, those four Oblasts will officially be a part of the Russian Federation.
Note that while the West has been talking about Russia’s annexation of Ukraine’s land, the people of the four Oblasts see it as secession – in accordance of the UN charter of the rights of people to self-determination.
This will put the ball in the court of NATO, because any attack on any of those areas is an attack on Mother Russia, and Putin will respond more aggressive than before, leading to a significant escalation in the combat. And short of nuclear weapons, NATO and the West no longer have the industrial base to match Russia’s production of war materials. Plus the situation is being made worse by the high inflation and the collapse of European economies.
Russia since 1931 has a “full-set” economy. After 1991, the West destroyed it, but since 2014, Russia has rebuilt its industrial economy. Take a simple example, four groups make a twin-engine single–aisle medium size passenger jet – the USA Boeing 737; European Airbus 320; China C919; and Russia Irkut MC 21. Russia’s MC 21 was using the American Pratt & Whiney, the best engine in its size. China and Airbus use Rolls-Royce engines. In 2018, the Russian government made a decision to revive its production of aircraft engines. President Putin in an address to businessmen in Sochi May 2022, said that one of the first sanction against Russia in February of this year was to stop the exportation of P & W jet engines to Russia. Russia had ordered 300 engines for delivery by first quarter 2023. Half of the cost had already been paid to the American company. Russia got 12 engines and no refund. The Americans said you are under sanctions, so you can’t get back your money. Well by December 2022, Russia will have gotten certification of its domestic PD-14 jet engines which are superior to the P & W engines – 12 % more fuel efficient, 16% lighter, and 24% cheaper. Russia has been using its high-tech abilities to design and manufacture its own products. Russia has minerals, materials, machinery and qualified personnel to sustain intense combat operations.
Recently the Royal United Services Institute (RUSI), the world’s oldest defence and security think tank published an essay stating that the age of industrial warfare is still here. “The rate of ammunition and equipment consumption in Ukraine can only be sustained by a large-scale industrial base…This reality should be a warning to Western countries.” the essay[1] said. . Others such as Scott Ritter, Lt Col Alex Vershinin all state that if NATO, the USA, and UK try to take on Russia in a tit-for-tat battle, they will lose because they lack the industrial base that Russia has.
The insanity of Western nations has escalated this conflict to a condition where whoever launches nukes first has the advantage is the logicof Victoria Nuland. This is a very dangerous dynamic, and it stems from the fact that the West has repeatedly signalled it will not allow the existence of Russia in its “New World Order/Great Reset” vision of planet Earth. In addition, the general delusion of the West’s belief that financial assets are more important than industrial assets, and humans have no value except as agents for exploitation – as chattel slaves. From this stems the idea that the West can win a nuclear war if it strikes first.
An important realization in all this is that, as Larry Johnson, a USA military analysis wrote: “NATO’s nuclear arsenal is ancient — mostly running on designed originally engineered in the 1980s — while Russia’s nuclear capabilities are at least two generations ahead, modernized with hyperglide re-entry vehicles, evasive manoeuvre capabilities for ICBMs, hypersonic cruise missiles which are nuclear capable, and highly advanced anti-air defense systems that can even intercept and take down incoming ICBMs. In addition, Russia possesses secret “doomsday” weapons — far beyond their Tsar Bomba/thermobaric bombs — that the world hasn’t even seen yet.” On the current trend, those weapons are going to be introduced to the West without any warning whatsoever, resulting in the complete annihilation of Western European governments, currencies, industry, and the majority of populations.
There is no doubt whatsoever that Russia has already designated the targets of its first strike, and that those targets include London, Paris, Berlin, Warsaw, US naval fleets and virtually all military bases across Western Europe. Russia will not launch nuclear weapons against Ukraine, it will be against the NATO cities. We are now just one launch away from a civilization-ending event.
The USA and NATO have deluded themselves into thinking they can win a nuclear exchange with Russia, but this is just as delusional as thinking “men can get pregnant” or that money printing especially for speculation doesn’t cause inflation. And more recently led by the insanity of wokeism — the West has become fully invested in delusional thinking and fairy tale narratives that have no connection with reality. While the West has been waging a propaganda narrative war, Russia has been engineering the world’s most advanced nuclear weapons. Once the nuclear exchange begins, there’s no question whatsoever about its outcome. Russia will lose a few million people — far less than what they lost in World War II (27 million) — but they will annihilate Germany, Poland, France and the United Kingdom. Western Europe will be plunged into a generation of despair, darkness, and death.
The West is caught in their own delusional world of self-inflicted brainwashing and propaganda, believing (somehow) that they can bully Russia into capitulating to the West’s insane demands. But Russia is no Third World nation – no Belize. Russia can’t be economically dismantled with Western sanctions, and Russia has its own domestic supply chain for literally everything it needs to feed its people, build more weapons and earn a fortune in exports of energy and commodities to willing trade partners like India, China, Turkey and Iran.
On Sept 27th it was reported that the United States probably sabotaged the Nord Stream 1 and 2 pipelines to provoke Russia and make Europe more reliant on American natural gas exports. Fox News‘ Tucker Carlson said President Joe Biden would be very interested in finding ways to hurt Russia. He aired clips of Biden and Department of State Undersecretary for Political Affairs Victoria Nuland from earlier this year, suggesting that they would be willing to strike the Nord Stream pipelines if Russia attacked Ukraine. The same day, Leaders of Poland, Denmark, and Norway officially launched the Baltic Pipe gas pipeline as a key step for Poland to supply gas to Europe. One thing is now certain Germany as a major industrial power is gone – over with. Germany industrial prowess was built on cheap Russian gas. Germany will now have to buy gas from Poland and the United States at nearly double the price that Russia was supplying gas for. But make no mistake, regardless the provocation by the West — Putin will not back down
So YES! World War III has already begun. You simply aren’t being told this because your dishonest media outlets are dedicated to keeping you in the dark. After all, they (the elites) want to use the remaining time to stockpile food, ammunition, medical supplies and precious metals (gold/silver) for themselves, and this can only be accomplished by withholding the truth about the situation for as long as possible. Anytime between now and December the mushroom-clouds will start to appear over major Western cities.
The events of this past weekend suggests that the nuclear missiles will not be flying in the next month or so. Two things happened. First, Russia suffered a serious set-back at Kharkov and Liman which has given hope to NATO that they can prevail over Russia if they continue to provide training, weapons and money to Ukraine. And secondly, NATO blinked about Ukraine’s Zelensky’s call on Friday for NATO to allow Ukraine to join the bloc immediately in a “accelerated procedure”. First, Germany said no, then the USA said now was not the time and Turkey also said no. NATO rules require all 30 member to say yes. So far only 9 countries have said yes today (Sunday, Oct 2nd 2022).
Former UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter wrote Sunday in RT “Russia didn’t just change the rules of the game – it changed the game itself. Instead of Ukrainian forces fighting Russian forces on the territory of Ukraine, any future combat carried out by Ukraine against Russian forces would represent an attack on the Russian homeland itself … But Russia, by transforming the battleground from one being fought on Ukrainian soil to one where it’s now defending its own land, has flipped the script.
NATO, having overcommitted to Ukraine, now finds itself “on the horns of a dilemma” – if it continues to provide massive material and financial support to Ukraine, it will, in effect, become a direct party to the conflict, something no one in the bloc wants. However, if it backs away from supporting Ukraine, the various Western political leaders and institutions which have made support for Kiev a sacred obligation will be seen as going back on their word.
How NATO opts to proceed has yet to be manifest, but indications are that it will not be in a manner which continues to double down on supporting Ukraine no matter what. Secretary General Stoltenberg’s tepid speech condemning Russia while showing no enthusiasm for Zelensky’s “accelerated application” for membership is indicative of the less-than-resolute nature of its support for Kiev.”
And for Belize, remember we are in the time of year until next year March where the wind blows north to south. We have to hope and pray that Dallas, Houston and Miami are not targeted by nuclear weapons so the radiation doesn’t blow our way. But one thing is for sure, we will suffer a lot because of our refusal to turn our economy in a “full-set” economy. Imports will collapse, tourists will disappear in the coming months.
What we sow we will reap!
