Global War Status: Russian Front

Bear with me. I’m going to try to tie several threads together into a coherent whole. I’ll be presenting extensive transcripts of Doug Macgregor, which I find largely convincing—with one caveat. That caveat depends on how stupid Western leaders are. That caveat will be tempered by John Helmer’s reporting on the electric war—which translates into whether the stupidity of the Western ruling class can be thwarted by sheer impossibility on the electric level.

To begin, let’s just restate what this war is all about. We’ve been over this many times, but it’s useful to repeat it. The whole point of the war on Russia was—and still is—to effect regime change, break the Russia Federation up into controllable separate entities, and then loot it for its resources—as a prelude to establishing control over China and thus, ultimately, Eurasia, including the Middle East. It’s about Western Ruling Class governance of the entire world, fueled by control over global resources. Everything else, including the climate hoax, is simply subordinate to that end goal.

Ukraine was and remains a stepping stone toward Russia. In the post WW2 world the American—and, thus, Western—way of war is grounded largely on terror. It’s not so much about defeating militaries as defeating populations, forcing populations into submission via the model of Germany and Japan. The means used are flexible, depending on circumstances. Regime change and propaganda—fueled by the seeming inevitable triumph of the secular Western model—is often the preferred or only option, although regime change itself will often require force. This has happened repeatedly but, with regard to Russia, began definitively in Kiev in 2014—the earlier example of NATO’s war on Serbia could not be repeated in the Ukrainian environment. Nevertheless, a coup, fueled by a violent nationalistic minority of the Ukrainian population, was put into effect with the goal of bringing NATO up to the borders of Russia and exerting maximum—short of open war—pressure on Russia’s political structure by destabilizing the Putin government. The goal was to present to the Russia public the view of Putin as unable to prevent NATO’s triumphant eastward expansion and of Putin as opening Russia to possible catastrophe. Solution for the Russian public: regime change.

As we now know, this hasn’t worked. The magic sanctions war—which was supposed to obviate the necessity of massive kinetic warfare—proved to be an abject failure. Russia’s resolve and creative response to the Ukrainian/NATO threat has led the West to the verge of panic, as Ukraine’s military faces collapse. The West faces the collapse of the entire Globalist Project outlined above. What is so worrisome about the Crocus terrorist attack by the West on Russia is that it represents a doubling down of the regime change strategy. As Alastair Crooke has explained (in his most recent conversation with Judge Nap), the Crocus terror attack was not actually “asymmetric warfare” because it did not target Russia’s military. It was a pure terrorist act aimed at political destabilization of Putin’s government—a continuation of past, failed, strategy, but which now risks wider war.

Russia’s response, which was probably imminent anyway, has been what John Helmer calls the “electric war”. Crooke also refers to this, and specifies that it will also affect Western Europe/NATO. How that effect will occur is explained by Helmer, but first let’s mention one salient fact. The Ukrainian rail system—which is the primary means by which the Ukrainian military transfers troops and supplies—runs on electricity. Remove that capability and the Ukrainian military faces the very real possibility of being largely stranded on the east side of the Dnieper river, subjected to Russian attacks for which it has not defenses. With the fall of Ukraine’s fortress towns and cities in the east, the remains of its military is attempting to dig into the mud, which offers no protection to the Russian glide bombs.

Blaming Russia For “Havana Syndrome” Pushes The Opposite Narrative Than Intended

For Russia to have successfully used a mobile directed energy weapon over 1,500 times, including against the US’ “top 5%, 10% performing officers across the Defense Intelligence Agency,” then it must have deeply penetrated the US Government in order to discover those elite targets’ identities and locations.

CBS News, The Insider, and Der Spiegel released the findings of their joint investigation on Sunday blaming Russia for “Havana Syndrome”, which refers to the mysterious ear and head pain that over 1,500 US Government (USG) staffers across the world claim to have experienced since 2016. It appeared timed to coincide with Congress’ plans to vote on Ukraine aid sometime later this month, with the intent obviously being to scare lawmakers into approving more funds for America’s proxy war on Russia.

It might have the opposite effect than intended, however, since those outlets’ dramatic claims paint a picture of deep Russian intelligence penetration of the US’ diplomatic and security services that can’t be remedied by simply sending more money to Ukraine. If what they wrote is true, then Russia has created a mobile directed energy weapon (DEW) that it’s already successfully used over 1,500 times, including against the US’ “top 5%, 10% performing officers across the Defense Intelligence Agency”.

This startling statistic comes from the recently retired Army lieutenant colonel who ran the Pentagon’s investigation into the matter. He claimed that this elite echelon of victims had all “worked against Russia, focused on Russia, and done extremely well” but were then “neutralized” after their injuries. His allegations contradict the Intelligence Community’s (IC) official review from last year that no DEWs nor foreign adversaries were responsible for these “anomalous health incidents”.

Those who take the IC’s official review at face value suspect that the prior hysteria about “Havana syndrome” was just a means of fearmongering about Russia, which they also naturally believe is the motive behind the latest joint investigation’s findings. Meanwhile, those who suspected that the IC’s official review was a cover-up take the latest joint investigation’s findings at face value, which means that they truly believe that Russia has deeply penetrated the US’ diplomatic and security services.

There’s no credible evidence to suggest that this is the case, especially since Russia would have presumably been much better prepared for responding to America’s diplomatic and military provocations throughout the course of their ongoing proxy war if it had moles within both. Nevertheless, the only way that one can believe that it’s systematically targeting members of those institutions who had all worked against it “extremely well” in the past is if it knew who they were and where they lived.

That in turn obliges one to believe that it must have deeply penetrated them in order to obtain this highly classified information, thus meaning that Russian spies are more highly placed than anyone had thought even after the witch hunt that followed the Russiagate hysteria. Once again, there’s no credible evidence that this is the case, and another argument against this theory is that Russia isn’t targeting any similarly prominent Ukrainian diplomats or security officials despite being at “war” with their country.

EXPLOSIVE INVESTIGATION LINKS RUSSIA’S SHADOWY “UNIT 29155” TO ‘HAVANA SYNDROME’ ATTACKS ON U.S. OFFICIALS WORLDWIDE

Compelling new evidence suggests that a shadowy group within Russia’s GRU military intelligence, known as Unit 29155, could be orchestrating attacks on American personnel using directed energy weapons.

Previously implicated in high-profile assassination attempts and sabotage operations across Europe, the unit is now suspected of being behind the controversial and mysterious afflictions known as “Havana Syndrome,” which have plagued U.S. officials around the globe, according to a joint investigation by The Insider60 Minutes, and Der Spiegel.

Havana Syndrome, officially known as “Anomalous Health Incidents” (AHI), describes a mysterious medical condition reported by U.S. officials and military personnel mainly while serving abroad. 

First reported in 2016 among embassy workers from the U.S. and Canada in Havana, Cuba, symptoms of Havana Syndrome include sudden extreme headaches, ear pain, dizziness, nausea, and cognitive issues. In some cases, long-term health consequences have ended careers and altered lives. 

Victims of Havana Syndrome recount nearly identical experiences, including sudden intense pain brought on by a mysterious and unseen crippling force. 

“It was like this piercing feeling on the side of my head, and I got vertigo,” Olivia Troye, the Homeland Security Advisor to Vice President Mike Pence, recounted to 60 Minutes about an experience she had outside the White House in 2019. “I was unsteady. I felt nauseous, and I was somewhat disoriented.” 

Former covert CIA officer Marc Polymeropoulos said he had a terrifyingly similar encounter in a Moscow hotel room in 2017. “I couldn’t stand up,” Polymeropoulos noted in a 2020 interview with G.Q. “I was falling over. I had an incredible sense of nausea and ringing in my ears. I was, frankly, terrified.”  

Troye and Polymeropoulos are among the more than 1,000 U.S. officials who, over the past eight years, have reported experiencing what seems to be an attack by a debilitating directed energy weapon.

Yet, despite numerous reports suggesting a pattern, the idea that a foreign adversary might be intentionally targeting U.S. officials, or even the recognition of “Havana Syndrome” as a genuine condition, has become a point of contention in Washington, D.C.

Investigations into Havana Syndrome have frequently resulted in unclear and sometimes conflicting conclusions.

In February 2022, a White House panel of experts concluded that radio waves could cause some of the injuries associated with the mysterious incidents. However, the panel also found that most incidents could be explained by stress or psychosomatic reactions. 

In the same month, a report by the JASON Advisory Group commissioned by the State Department found that it was unlikely that Havana Syndrome incidents resulted from directed energy attacks. 

In March 2024, two major studies by the National Institutes of Health examining the conditions of over 80 government employees and family members who experienced “anomalous health incidents” found no consistent evidence of brain injury. 

In an editorial published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Stanford microbiologist Dr. David Relman, who has investigated cases of Havana Syndrome, criticized the NHI’s findings.

Russian nexus revealed during 60 Minutes Havana Syndrome investigation into potential attacks on U.S. officials

A lead U.S. military investigator examining reports of what has become known as Havana Syndrome told 60 Minutes he believes U.S. officials are being attacked by Russia and that the official threshold to prove it was set impossibly high.

Greg Edgreen, a now-retired Army lieutenant colonel who ran the Pentagon investigation into what officials refer to as “anomalous health incidents,” said the bar for proof was set so high because the country doesn’t want to face some very hard truths, like the existence of possible failures to protect Americans.

“Unfortunately I can’t get into specifics, based on the classification,” Edgreen said. “But I can tell you at a very early stage, I started to focus on Moscow.”

A 2023 government report deemed it “very unlikely” that a foreign adversary was behind the mysterious brain injuries suffered by U.S. national security officials, yet more than 100 Americans have symptoms scientists say could be caused by a beam of microwaves or acoustic ultrasound. Victims are frustrated that the government publicly doubts an adversary is targeting Americans. The ongoing, five-year 60 Minutes investigation has now uncovered new evidence pointing toward Russia.

Russia Demands Ukraine Arrest and Hand Over SBU Head Vasyl Malyuk, After He Admits on TV Role in Terror Attacks

Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs has come out and unveiled Moscow’s demand that Ukraine authorities hand over all people connected with terrorist acts committed in their territory.

The list surprisingly even includes the head of Kiev’s SBU Security Service, Vasyl Malyuk.

Besides the recent ‘bloody Crocus terrorist act’, the attacks in question include bombings that killed the daughter of a prominent nationalist philosopher, a war blogger, and another incident in which a writer was seriously hurt.

While the investigation by the Russian authorities indicate that the traces of all these crimes lead to Ukraine, in the case of Malyuk there is a voluntary admission on TV.

We will not officially admit this in any way, but at the same time I will tell you some details,” he said in an interview with a Ukrainian TV channel.

Reuters reported:

“‘Russia has turned over to Ukrainian authorities its demands … for the immediate arrest and extradition of all those connected to the terrorist acts in question’, the [Russian Ministry’s] statement said.

The ministry statement said those to be handed over included SBU head Vasyl Malyuk, who has acknowledged [in an interview with Ukrainian television channel ICTV] his service was behind attacks on the bridge linking Crimea to the Russian mainland […].

‘The Russian side demands that the Kyiv regime immediately cease all support for terrorist activity, extradite guilty parties and compensate the victims for damages’, it said.

‘Ukraine’s violation of its obligations under anti-terrorist conventions will result in it being held to account in international legal terms’.”

Here are some other excerpts by the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs:

“Other barbaric terrorist attacks using explosive devices cost the lives of journalists D.A. Dugina and M.Yu. Fomin (V. Tatarsky), led to the serious injury of the writer E.N. Prilepin and the death of his driver A.I. Shubin, the death of five people as a result of the explosion of the Crimean Bridge, 42 people were injured in an explosion in a cafe in St. Petersburg.”

It does seem odd for a warring party to demand another to comply with treaties and conventions.

‘Operation Anti-Migrant’: Russia Starts Mass Deporting Muslims After Moscow Concert Massacre

Russian authorities have begun deporting large numbers of Muslims in the wake of last week’s deadly Islamist state attack at a Moscow concert hall, in an effort that has been reportedly dubbed “Operation Anti-Migrant.”

According to The Moscow Times, anti-Islamic sentiment has soared in the aftermath of the attack, in which at least 144 people were killed and hundreds of more were wounded or in critical condition. Islamic State has since claimed responsibility for the massacre.

The Times notes:

Authorities in St. Petersburg have been deporting migrants en masse in the week since the deadly attack on a Moscow region concert hall, the legal rights group Perviy Otdel said Friday. More than 64 foreigners were deported from the city’s Vyborgsky district on Thursday alone, the NGO said, citing one of its unidentified lawyers.

A number of buses carrying migrants were also headed to St. Petersburg’s Pulkovo International Airport on Friday afternoon, they added. The countries where the migrants were being sent to were not specified, though it is known that labor migrants in Russia mostly hail from poor Central Asian countries.

The four men accused of carrying out the attack were from Tajikistan, a majority Muslim country that does not share a border with Russia.

EASY TIGER! GOP Rep. Tim Walberg Suggests Ending War in Gaza and Russia ‘Like Nagasaki and Hiroshima’

Michigan Congressman Tim Walberg appeared to get somewhat carried away with his rhetoric during a town hall meeting with constituents this week.

The event, which was held at Dundee Village Hall in Michigan, allowed attendees to ask Walberg his view on various hot button issues of the day.

One man said he knew a soldier who was travelling to Gaza to help build a port at the request of the Biden administration as Israel carries out its war against Hamas.

“Why are we spending our money to build a port for them?” the man asked, according to a video posted on the X platform.

“It’s Joe Biden’s reason; we need to get humanitarian aid into Gaza,” Walberg responded. “I don’t think any of our aid that goes to Israel to support our greatest ally, arguably maybe in the world, to defeat Hamas and Iran and Russia, and probably North Korea’s in there, and China, too, with them helping Hamas — we shouldn’t be spending a dime on humanitarian aid.”

The Congressman then brought up the example of Nagasaki and Hiroshima, when the allies dropped two atomic bombs on the Japanese cities, which together killed over 100,000 people.

Although the bombings did bring a swift end to the war with the surrender of the Axis powers, debate over the ethics of the decision is debated to this date.

“It should be like Nagasaki and Hiroshima,” he continued. “Get it over quick. The same should be in Ukraine. Defeat Putin quick.”

In a statement to Detroit News, Walberg’s spokesman Mike Rorke insisted that he “vehemently disagrees with putting our troops in harm’s way.”

Speaker Johnson Wants to Pass Bill Sending Billions in Arms to Ukraine and Israel

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) says he will work to pass a massive military aid bill for Ukraine and Israel once Congress returns to session next week, a move that could trigger a backlash from his party. House Democrats have vowed to shield the speaker from a GOP rebellion should he support the legislation.

Johnson has underscored the urgency of providing aid to Ukraine and Israel, declaring it a top priority upon the House’s return from Easter recess. “We’ll turn our attention to it and we won’t delay on that,” he told reporters last week.  

Sending billions more in aid to Ukraine is a volatile issue within the Republican Caucus. Johnson won his role as leader of the House, in part, because of his past votes opposing aid to Ukraine. However, since taking over as speaker, Johnson has repeatedly stated that he supports President Joe Biden’s $61 billion aid package for Kiev. 

The issue facing Johnson is how the aid to Ukraine is currently packaged. Initially, the GOP sought to include the funding in a bill that would also supply arms to Israel and Taiwan, as well as devote billions to border security. Last month, the Senate stripped the border funding and immigration reform from the legislation and passed a $95 billion foreign aid bill, including $61 billion for Ukraine and $14 billion for Israel. 

After passing the Senate over a month ago, Johnson has prevented the legislation from coming to a vote in the House. Some Republicans in the chamber say if Johnson brings the bill to the floor, they will vote to remove him as speaker. 

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he spoke with the speaker by phone on Thursday and pressed Johnson to pass the bill. “In this situation, quick passage of US aid to Ukraine by Congress is vital. We recognize that there are differing views in the House of Representatives on how to proceed, but the key is to keep the issue of aid to Ukraine as a unifying factor,” Zelensky wrote on X.

To overcome the threat from a small number of Republicans, Democrats in the House have hinted that they would support Johnson’s continued role as speaker if he brings the bill for a vote. “If the choice is between Ukraine aid and providing a vote to stop a motion to vacate, or no Ukraine aid, I think there’s a lot of Democrats who would be willing to assist in getting it done,” Rep. Jim Himes (D-CT) told the Hill.

Did The US First Catch Wind Of The Crocus Terrorist Attack By Spying On Kiev?

This accounts for why the US only passed along vague information to Russia since it assumed that the GUR wouldn’t go through with the Crocus plot after ordering them to call it off, but Washington still wanted to discredit its rival’s government and security services, ergo its embassy’s provocative warning at the time.

The New York Times (NYT) cited unnamed sources on Thursday to report that “The adversarial relationship between Washington and Moscow prevented U.S. officials from sharing any information about the (Crocus terrorist attack) plot beyond what was necessary, out of fear Russian authorities might learn their intelligence sources or methods.” This vindicates President Putin, who the West hitherto claimed had downplayed terrorist threats in the run-up to one of the worst attacks in Russian history.

Without actionable intelligence and informed only of the US’ vague warning that large gatherings like concerts could soon be targeted, his security services were unable to stop the plotters, thus meaning that Washington is partially responsible for what happened by withholding specific information about it. Just as scandalously, this bombshell also prompted speculation about the exact sources and methods that America employed to first catch wind of this attack.

While it’s possible that the US learned about this from spying on the radical Telegram channel whose curators reportedly recruited the culprits, such as if the CIA had a mole inside that preacher’s team, the case can compellingly be made that this might have actually been brought to its attention by spying on Kiev. Last spring’s Pentagon leaks confirmed that the US has been spying on Zelensky, which Ukrainian officials told CNN was “unsurprising” but still left them “deeply frustrated”.

Those documents also confirmed that the US was spying on Ukraine’s military-intelligence service GUR as well, from whom they learned about a plot to attack the Russian port of Novorossiysk on the first anniversary of the special operation and then ordered them to stand down to avoid provoking Moscow. Seeing as how the Washington Post (WaPo) reported half a year later that the CIA rebuilt the GUR from the ground-up after 2014, it’s obvious that they embedded moles within that institution from the get-go.

They don’t always learn about terrorist plots ahead of time since their infiltration of the GUR and other Ukrainian government agencies isn’t total, but they’re still usually able to conclude sometime afterwards that Kiev was responsible whenever a serious attack happens in Russia. Such was the case last May when the NYT reported that Kiev was responsible for the Kremlin drone attack, in which piece they also reminded their reader that it was behind other attacks up until that point too.

These include the assassinations of Darya Dugina and Vladlen Tatarsky, cross-border terrorist raids into Russia’s Belgorod Region, and the Nord Stream II bombing. About that last-mentioned one, the claim of Ukrainian complicity might very well be a preplanned red herring for deflecting from American involvement after Seymour Hersh served as the conduit for dissident members of the Intelligence Community (IC) to inform the public that their country was the one that ordered that attack.

A very curious Crocus video

On Monday I had the privilege of speaking with Steve and Chris from AM WakeUp. Our 90-minute conversation focused on the terrorist attack at Moscow’s Crocus City Hall.

During our chat, Steve shared a video with me that was published by Zvezda, a TV network run by the Russian Ministry of Defense. The clip purportedly captured the moment when gunmen entered the building…
