Pepe #Escobar interview of Economist Michael #Hudson

A ROADMAP TO ESCAPE THE WEST’S STRANGLEHOLD

"The Cradle:

"What is your analysis of #Gazprom confirming Line B of the #NordStream 2 was not touched by #Pipeline Terror?

This means Nord Stream 2 is practically ready to go – with a capacity to pump 27.5 billion cubic meters of gas a year, which happens to be half of the total capacity of – damaged – Nord Stream.

So #Germany is not doomed.

This opens a whole new chapter; a solution will depend on a serious political decision by the German government.

Hudson: “Here’s the kicker: Russia certainly won’t bear the cost again, only to have the pipeline blown up.

It will be up to Germany.

I bet the current regime says “No.”

That should make for an interesting rise of the alternative parties.

The ultimate problem is that the only way Germany can restore trade with #Russia is to withdraw from #NATO, realizing that it is the major victim of NATO’s war.

This could only succeed by spreading to Italy, and also to #Greece (for not protecting it against #Turkey, ever since #Cyprus).

That looks like a long fight.

Maybe it’s easier just for German industry to pack up and move to Russia to help modernize its industrial production, especially #BASF for chemistry, #Siemens for engineering, etc..

If German companies relocate to the US to get gas, this will be perceived as a US raid on German industry, capturing its lead for the US.

Even so, this won’t succeed, given America’s post-industrialized economy.

So German industry can only move eastward if it creates its own political party as a nationalistic anti-NATO party.

The #EU constitution would require Germany to withdraw from the EU, which puts NATO interests first at the federal level.

The next scenario is to discuss Germany’s entry into the #SCO. Let’s take bets as to how long that will take.”

CHARTER OF THE UNITED NATIONS


Chapter XVII — Transitional Security Arrangements

Article 106:
“Pending the coming into force of such special agreements referred to in Article 43 as in the opinion of the Security Council enable it to begin the exercise of its responsibilities under article 42, the parties to the Four-Nation Declaration, signed at Moscow, October 30, 1943, and France, shall, in accordance with the provisions of paragraph 5 of that Declaration, consult with one another and as occasion requires with other Members of the United Nations with a view to such joint action on behalf of the Organization as may be necessary for the purpose of maintaining international peace and security.”


Article 107:
“Nothing in the present Charter shall invalidate or preclude action, in relation to any state which during the Second World War has been an enemy of any signatory to the present Charter, taken or authorized as a result of that war by the Governments having responsibility for such action.”

Treasure of the Zaporozhy Nuclear Plant:

HOW DID RUSSIA GET $240 BILLION WORTH OF URANIUM AND PLUTONIUM?

To understand the amount of capital acquired, let’s take a look at the official data of the US Department of Science — they estimate one gram of plutonium at $5000-11000 (depending on the type).

There are 30 million enriched grams left at the Zaporozhye Plant.

Multiply by the average cost, say $8000/gram, and we get = 240,000,000,000 bucks.

Among those who died on the Crimean Bridge was a married couple from St. Petersburg.

53-year-old Eduard and 33-year-old Zoya were driving a Cadillac. They were not lucky to be near the exploded truck. The guys were well-known guides in St. Petersburg, and also fans of history (both graduated from the Faculty of History).

The hobby spread to work — they conducted a small family YouTube channel "HedgehogTV" about history and had 470 subscribers. They told their viewers about the last Romanovs. They shot and edited the films themselves, believing that documentaries should not be dull.

THE #BBC - WHERE #NEWS MEETS #PSYOPS


THE BBC-TO-NATO PIPELINE: HOW THE BRITISH STATE BROADCASTER SERVES THE POWERFUL

Between 2007 and 2008, longtime BBC producer and news presenter #VictoriaCook, for instance, was simultaneously collecting a paycheck from #NATO, working as a journalist and media trainer.

#OanaLungescu, meanwhile, left her job as a correspondent at the #BBCWorldService (the broadcaster’s flagship international radio service) in 2010 to take a job as a NATO spokesperson.

Another BBC employee who went through the BBC-to-NATO-pipeline is #MarkLaity, who left his position as the network’s defense correspondent to become the deputy spokesman to NATO Secretary General Lord Robertson – a man who journalistic ethics dictates Laity should have been closely scrutinizing, not doing public relations for him.

#DavidMcGee also left his role as a news producer for the BBC to work for NATO – in this case as a media manager, where he, in his own words, “Provided PR support to military and civilian stakeholders for external communications audience,” and, “Undertook crisis management of news events for [the] U.S. military.”

Others traveled the other way.

One of them is #TerenceSach, who left his job as an intelligence and security analyst at the #UK #MOD (Ministry of Defense) in 2017 to become an information security specialist at the BBC.
 
WHERE NEWS MEETS PSYOPS

Perhaps most noteworthy, however, is the BBC’s employment of NATO psychological operations officers, tasking them to provide supposedly objective information while simultaneously moonlighting as propagandists for the military alliance.

Between 1994 and 2014, for example, #SulaimanRadmanish worked for the BBC World Service, primarily helping to produce content targeting the Afghan population.

Over a similar time period (2005-2014), he worked as a video editor for NATO, “edit[ing] short Psyops clips” according to his LinkedIn profile. It is surely no coincidence that his work with both the BBC and NATO ended in the same year as Britain’s withdrawal from Afghanistan – a country it had been occupying since 2001.

Erik Ollsen is dead

who is Erik Ollsen?

Welp, he was the lead investigator for the nordstream attack....

Tweet reads: Olsen, found at home. Bee sting cause of death, cremated within hours. In charge of investigating Nordstream sabotage.

Let me repeat that: The LEAD INVESTIGATOR of the Nordstream pipeline sabotage just died of a BEE STING and was CREMATED WITHIN HOURS.

Sound legit?

Ironies don’t get better than this:

#NETZERO DESTROYS #NETZERO:

EUROPE CAN’T MAKE SOLAR PANELS BECAUSE GREEN ELECTRICITY COSTS TOO MUCH
By Jo Nova

Thanks to the renewable energy transition, Europe can’t afford to make renewable energy.

When will the message get through that renewable energy is not sustainable?

European #photovoltaic plants and battery cell factors are temporarily closing or quitting altogether because of obscenely high #electricity #prices.

When the plants were built they expected to pay €50/MWh, but now they are paying €300 – 400/MWh.

And the situation may last another couple of years, so it’s hard to see how these manufacturers can avoid leaving permanently.

So much for all the solar jobs.

Europeans are being reduced to being installers while the production of panels shifts to coal-fired China because electricity is so much cheaper.

Most of the wind turbine industry has already moved to China.

GERMANY’S GREEN PARTY IN DIRE STRAITS

The #German #Greens, who are partners with the #SPD socialists in Germany’s government, are sinking dramatically in the public opinion polls as it becomes clear Green Party leader and #Economics Minister Robert #Habeck is driving the country’s economy into the ground at a dizzying speed.

Habeck, who currently also serves as Vice Chancellor, recently stunned millions of TV viewers when he appeared not to understand what bankruptcy is.

Now as tomorrow’s state elections approach in Lower #Saxony, the Green Party officials are scrambling to keep Habeck from doing more damage.....

Just a day earlier his party comrade Annalena #Baerbock was “drowned out” by demonstrators.

“Already at the beginning of her speech there was a deafening concert of whistles so that Baerbock could hardly be understood,” reports Blackout News.

“In addition, there were shouts such as: ‘#Baerbock must go’, ‘#WarMongers’, ‘#GetLost’ and ‘impoverishment and war thanks to the Greens’, and ‘whoever votes Green, votes for war’.”

The mainstream media however, did not report on this.
