WORLD WAR III ?


Regretfully, we lie just as poorly...

Just ask Sleepy-Joe ;) !

The only good thing out of this, is that Putin has quite literally slammed-the-door in the faces of the Banks, the New World Order, The Trilateral Commission, The Bilderberg Group, & the Wall st. money-meisers..

He's leading the way on that front, & the US-of-A would do well to follow suit imo...

All that said, I still believe that all of this is really just another day in the screenplay written-out for the media to report on via the Cabal...

We have full knowledge of ET peoples being here & befriending us. And through that knowledge, the understanding of true existence of modern-technologies involving free-energy devices that would liberate the whole world into freedom & bliss, with no pollution, poverty, & freedom for everyone.

Instead, we get this bollox from our leaders...Everyone deserves better than this !!!

Ummm... I'm not sure why you keep trying to spin this like it was Putin who slammed-the-door in the faces of banks... because the reality here is that BANKS are who slammed-the-door in Putin and Russias face! VERY BIG DIFFERENCE!

I should also mention that since Russia has been at WAR, their stock market has been kept CLOSED! People who have money and assets in Ruissa are just SOL! 

Now, if that wasn't bad enough, Putin is going to try and steal a bunch of commerical airliners they were renting! Because their money is wortless and their credit rating now listed as "junk" they can't even make the payments!

Are you suggesting that THEFT is okay now Rastus? That Russia shouldn't have to pay it's bills? That they can just take whatever they want, whenever they want? I think that mentality is what got us to this point where Russia is trying to take over their neighbor!

In a few days Ruissa will default on a key payment... once that happens the Russian currency will be WORTHLESS outside of Russia! I should also mention that business is not going to trust Russia anymore either... at least while Putin is their President!

This all bodes very poorly for Putin... I know Putin thinks he's something special, but he is ex-KGB... he knows damn well what happens to people in Russia that cost the upper crust money and respect... I'd be worried if I were him... 

He has a very rude awaking coming... This war and it's aftermath are 100% on Putin.

I tried to read as much of that communist drivel as I could gut...

It's all bullshit Rastus! The moment the terrified author alluded to the nonsense idea that somehow Russia has a say in other nations partisipation in NATO I had to stop reading. It's a shame too because outside of the communist tilt it was a good article.

You can tell the author fears Putin... but he or she is terrifed of what the USA will do to Putin if this goes too far.

R1. That's great :) !!!

R2. I completely understand that the good people of the US-of-A have a hard time realizing that their country has become the very hated being, that they once went to war to fight  against...You have been deceived & brainwashed, as Mr.Eisenhower warned us all about...This war was in the making for decades by the US-of-A warmongers, as the article proves, & that Mr.Eisenhower warned us about in his last "address to the nation"...

 

R3. The author fears the future, & the US-of-A war-mongers / Military Industrial Corporate Complex & its agenda...I'm so very, very sorry that you don't realize this, as this war "is" the US-of-A's military's making...And all to keep the $$$ turning...And keep the Banking cartel in power...

Get into CE5 folks, learn the truth, & leave this bullshyte behind !!

Rastus, HERE ON THIS PLANET, the Russians invaded Ukraine on Feburary 24... they lied about it for several months while they built up their army.

The USA did not start any war... but we may have to finish it! 

After we get done trying to signal aliens, do you think we could try to find some unicorns afterwards? I'm sure just having one would be a major babe magnet, even better than a dog or a cat!

SELLC, HERE ON THIS PLANET, the US-of-A along with countless NATO countries, further expanded NATO illegally through the 1990's & beyond, after signing treaties not to do so, thus, finally forcing Russia into invading the Ukraine, that had white-supremacist infiltration within its gov't, US-of-A biological weapons laboratories, & 15-nuclear power-plants to watch over...

The US-of-A is nothing more than the Military-arm of the UK, & other European aristocracies, namely guided by the Banking Cartels, such as the Federal Reserve Corporation...

You have been duped again, & sadly are starting to look pretty silly mate...But maybe it's that Fukushima radiation causing a lapse in your brain-power...

Have you watched the Dana Durnford link yet in the Fukushima thread ???...There's a fellow in Michigan, who has a Spectrum analyzer specific to radionuclides, & he's peeing 220 counts-per-minute of radiation...

Watch what you say from here-on SELLC, the facts & truth are before you my friend, & many will think you're being very foolish...

As for the ET's, its your choice to go out & meet them. But then again, it's also your choice to live in a fairy-tale...And who could blame you ?...

SELLC Responds:

Further expanded NATO illegally? You need to site your EXACT treaties with their corresponding "promises" that support your preposterous claims! And I don't want none of your classic, "Here's seven volumes of treaties, all 300 pages long and a two hour Zeitgeist CD"... Here ON THIS PLANET and in this CIVILIZED COUNTRY we just want the facts... I'm sure these treaties you speak of are chronologically in order and from a reputable Government (Not Russia because they are junk paper peddlers trying to avoid the repo man). I propose whatever shit has stained your brain, it's being improperly perceived or you're just not doing your research. As far as I'm concerned, if Russia thinks NATO can't expand, then that's Russia's problem! That's some Trumped up BS right there, because just a few years ago Trump was considering pulling out of NATO! Countries can join and leave as they please! UNLIKE RUSSIA! And your White-Supremacist bullshit game is weak too! When is the last time you seen a black Russian that wasn't being handed to you by a bartender!?

SELLC Responds:

The US-of-A is a little more than the Military-arm of any country! At this time we are part of NATO, and that arm is long and distinguished, like my Johnson! If you think the way Russia has been doing business the past three weeks with their markets shut down, stiffing creditors and people who wish to leave then you should do business with Russia! Just know what happens when you want to leave the grip of Mother Russia! Take a good look at Ukraine, and soon the entire Russian economy! Russia better call their troops back to start pumping more oil because nobody will want their money! Russia is officially a deadbeat nation, engaging in hooliganism in the Ukraine!

SELLC Responds:

Duped by who? These ridiculous claims are starting to make me wonder if it's YOU who trying to dupe the readers, myself included! But we have brain-power, and we know better. Even PowerStroker has called you out on it recently... I think it was when you made them sensational claims that a new virus was being released at the Beijing Olympics that made people bleed out from all the holes in their head... yeah, that whopper didn't age well... did it?

SELLC Responds:

No I have not watched that video yet, but it was probably your Russian friends who poisoned him... It's a FACT and the TRUTH that Russia is well known for these types of things... Of course, you always make these sensational claims with absolutly no credible backing, or you leave out the fact he worked in the Fermi plant for 40 years... And if it wasn't the Russians or Fermi, it's well known here in Michigan there are just some coney islands you don't eat at!

Watch what I say? LOL! The only one looking foolish here is YOU mate! You're supposed to be on OUR side... yet look at you! If this isn't a joke, then it's sad really... I honestly try and tell myself you're just being an idiot (devils advocate) lately to stir the pot and make for good back and fourth discussion, but I am starting to wonder if perhaps you have been corrupted with all that CE5 mumbo-jumbo and it's YOU who are living in a fairy-tale! And who could blame you?
But from now on when you make any more crazy claims with regards to global treaties or other NON-UFO stuff it would be great if you could quote that stuff from the actual competent governing bodies, and not RT or Counterpunch... You don't see PowerStroker or I quoting stuff from the Sun or the National Enquirer... Do you know why? Because they would be laughed off for the foolishness they were.

SELLC asks for the facts, but demands that it's not qt."Here's seven volumes of treaties, all 300 pages long and a two hour Zeitgeist CD"....So he doesn't want truth at all, just a blanket of bullshyte to cover himself-up with at night, so he can get some sleep.

Here an article that will give the truth of how the US-of-A's elite always make money off-the-backs of US-of-A citizens, regardless of the war & how many citizens are killed...So why aren't these mofo's in jail for treason ???-Because they pick & fund your POTUS's for you at events like the Bohemian Grove sausage festival...

There is a difference between stating the page and line number of any "document" you claim exist, and then backing it up with a link to said actual document (be it 300 or even 10,000 pages)...

Then the question remains did Rastus actually read all this rubbish and watch the two hour video? Sadly, in most cases I'll think... yeah he probably did! LOL

But some of these claims you're making simpily lack any foundation in truth or actual contract... 

And I don't doubt for one minute that there are a lot of people in the USA who have gotten rich off Russia! I'm not one of them, but I have always been up-front in saying I have no desire to visit or live in Russia! 

To me, Russia and Putin is just another swinging dick in the world looking to have their turn kicking some ass... but they are kicking their own ass! For silly reasons! Like the USA or even NATO has any desire to INVADE Russia! LOL, if anything it's to stop Russia from invading everyone else! Is that what you want Rastus? Just hand over Europe to Russia?

ROLFLMAO !!!

R1-3...Ask, & though shall receive...And even though the timing was perfect for this article to appear, I always knew that it wouldn't satisfy our Admin., since his self-appointed task here is to generate a fight, whether it be me or PowerStroker or the TRUTH, it still only ever warrants a fight, plane & simple.

R4. You haven't understood the article at all I'm sorry...

R5. You have the right to your opinion, but you haven't understood the article at all, or the "picture" that's painted for us...

R6. LOL !!! No, not at all...

You see SELLC, what the article ( and the historical book & references )  reveal, is that everything in our world, & the way it's been for us designed to "see" it, is a lie. And these people like the Rockefeller's, are the scriptwriters of the world we live, since they centuries in advance have created all the wars & perceived enemies, so that they remain in perpetual power...

The article proves that the Rockefellers ( & others ) created the USSR by financing them...And these same American-people/bankers sold Adolf Hitler his oil, so that he could have his WW-II, whilst we sent our family members to their deaths, on a false-pretense...

False pretense, this is the life you're choosing to live !

Get into CE5 folks, learn the truth, & get your life back in order, it's really that simple :) !

Rastus... I totally "get it"... much of it is speculation, but I get it...

What you're trying to say is, that Putin and Trump are lovers... I know this because it would seem that Trump has loaned Putin his campaign rally team, and we can now see Trump for who he really was...

putinmrga.jpg

The US Version of Putin... Wonder when Putin is going to start selling red "MRGA" hats?

I mean honestly... looks like a Trump rally! LOL

No...Not quite SELLC...

What it says is that after the Russian revolution, the US-of-A's super-wealthy financed the USSR, & gave it US-of-A technologies, so that it could become a super-power, & an enemy of the US-of-A, all for propaganda purposes...

But let's remember that some Swiss Bankers & Liechtenstein Bankers will allow you to invest your money with them, but you are to never ever get it back. You live on the interest of the investment, whilst they do the war-mongering & financing of war behind-the-scenes...This is what gives the Bankers their power...All very secretive shyte...

What a sick society we live in...

Are you talking about the original annexation of Crimea?

If so, I guess you'd be right... if we peeled back all the layers of the onion, the catalyst would actually be the same... Ukraine...

But Poland presents another issue all together... Russia kicking the shit out of Ukraine did not mean much in the ways of the "forced hand"... But Poland on the other hand.

IIRC, Isreal has nukes -- and who the heck knows, Iran might too!

Could get ugly!

R1. There's "always" been war in the region, & the UN made sure of that back in 1947 or so...And your own "1991 Defence Strategy" clearly states the agenda.

R2. Iran has nuclear-power-plants as supplied by the US-of-A via the Clintons & IAEA...What a shyte idea, & the Arabs are silly enough to buy it.

R3. Israel does have nukes, as bought from the US-of-A. They are likely the US-of-A's biggest customer regarding weapons sales, that's why Genocide-Joe kisses Israeli ass.

R4. It's always been ugly, but there's been the few years of peace before each war. At least the oil is secure hey...

 

The big-picture indicates that for millennia, the Archon network ( Draco-Reptillian's, Orion-Grey's & Serpent-Beings ) have used an AI low frequency to secure their dominion over the planet, that's been successful until recent times, when they were eradicated from our planet. And people like Raytheon have however ensured that this low-frequency continues, as indicated by the reports  from Antarctica from Eric J Hecker, as witnessed & discussed via video in the UFO thread from a few years ago.

The point is, the "Elite / Illuminati" feed-off fear & negative energy. It holds them in power, & stops everyone from evolving. That's why they built that shyte.

Don't worry about it. The more interest you give them, the more they grow in power. Those that want war, can have it, it's their choice.

We're well into dramatic earth changes that are being overseen by many ET peoples, & we have more to look forward to than the bollox in the Middle East.

All will be well, rest assured. You only have to decide on whether to feed the beast with your fear, or get on with your own ascension process.

Be warned in advance about the fake UFO threat / invasion.

 

Now, since we already know what will happen, perhaps some people will be interested in reviewing the Illuminati perspective, on how things will go down, as already reported & linked months ago in the Illuminati thread, by a real-deal, ex-Illuminated-one...

I'll post this AUKUS (lol) bollox in here, as it does have a tentacle attached...At least it's a sign of progress with people having their eyes open, & trying to do something about it...


Solidarity to Stop AUKUS
Saying No to Nuclear Subs
by Ray Acheson

Australian Nuclear Free Alliance gathering, March 2024. Image by Ray Acheson.

AUKUS is the awkward-sounding acronym for Australia-United Kingdom-United Statesa trilateral military alliance that stands poised to waste billions of dollars, proliferate high-level radioactive material and impose its safekeeping on First Nations communities for hundreds of thousands of years, increase global militarism and potentially provoke a nuclear war. If this doesnt sound like a good investment to you, youre not wrong. The deeper one digs into the details of this deal, the more one becomes flummoxed by cascading levels of absurdity. It is strikingly disadvantageous for Australia, yet other countries including Canada, Japan, and New Zealand/Aotearoa, have expressed interest in collaborating. Australian activists have been mobilizing to stop AUKUS for several years; its past time those living in other AUKUS states or those clamouring to partner with the alliance get informed and active, too.

Yo,

It appears that Russia is defending itself & others through the UN, where it wants the ability to set-off a nuke-device ( if necessary ) in space, that would knock-out thousands of other satellites, & therefore make the play-field of warfare much fairer, in the event of war...

* The ET's will not allow a full-blown nuclear war, so don't worry at all, this is just fodder for the press, & to indicate that Russia will not allow the US-of-A to have such a great advantage over the rest-of-the-world. In other words, no New World Order...So this is a good thing, & at least it's out in the open...

Here's the cut & paste...


Russia vetoes UN resolution denouncing use of nuclear weapons in space

Russia on Wednesday vetoed a draft resolution before the United Nations Security Council that would have called on countries to prevent a nuclear arms race in outer space.

Why it matters: Russia's veto comes after U.S. officials alleged earlier this year that Moscow is developing a new space-based nuclear weapon to destroy satellites.

China was the only nation to abstain from the vote, and Russia the only vote against the measure. The other 13 members, including the U.S., voted in favor.

Driving the news: The UN draft resolution, prepared by Japan and the U.S., would have affirmed the obligation of countries to comply with the 1967 Outer Space Treaty.

The treaty bars signatories, including the U.S. and Russia, from placing "in orbit around the Earth any objects carrying nuclear weapons or any other kinds of weapons of mass destruction" or anywhere else in outer space.

State of play: Public details on the new Russian weapon are scant. White House officials have not disclosed its specific capabilities.

National Security Council spokesperson John Kirby said in February Russia had not deployed the capability in space and that the weapon could not cause "physical destruction" on Earth.

What they're saying: "Let me be clear, in no way does this vote undermine the obligations Russia, or any other state party, continues to have under the Outer Space Treaty," U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said.

"Today's veto begs the question: why? Why, if you are following the rules, would you not support a resolution that reaffirms them? What could you possibly be hiding," Thomas-Greenfield asked Russia's ambassador to the United Nations Vasily Nebenzya.

Before the vote, Nebenzya called the draft resolution a "dirty spectacle."

Nebenzya criticized the resolution for attempting to portray Russia as being uninterested in preventing an arms race in outer space and not upholding its obligations under the space treaty.
He said Russia seeks to keep space free of weapons of any kind.

Reality check: In 2021, Russia which is not directly named in the resolution tested a direct-ascent anti-satellite missile against one of its satellites in orbit.

The test generated a cloud of debris that NASA said endangered the International Space Station and its crew, and could have gone on to threaten other satellites.

The Secure World Foundation's Victoria Samson told Axios she believes that the U.S. pursued the draft resolution to prod Russia to publicly say where it stands on certain obligations under the Outer Space Treaty.

A weapon involving a nuclear detonation in orbit doesn't really make sense, Samson said, as Russia and the U.S. can already launch and detonate nuclear bombs in space with intercontinental ballistic missiles.
She hypothesized that it could be a nuclear-powered anti-satellite weapon, but warnings from the U.S. that the weapon violates the Outer Space Treaty suggest otherwise.

The other side: Russian President Vladimir Putin has denied the allegations and has said that Russia opposes nuclear weapons in space.

However, Putin in recent years has repeatedly warned that Russia will use nuclear weapons if threatened.

Between the lines: Russia vetoed the UN resolution even though it and China have been working on a new treaty that would ban placing weapons in outer space or using threats or force against outer space objects.

The U.S. and its allies have raised objections to that treaty over definitional concerns and existing international legal obligations that already ban weapons in space and the targeting of space objects.

The big picture: Nuclear weapons in space aren't unprecedented.

The U.S. and the Soviet Union detonated at least nine in outer space throughout the late 1950s and early 1960s.
The largest of those tests, the U.S.' Starfish Prime in 1962, destroyed or damaged around 30% of the known satellites in orbit at that time while impairing electrical equipment hundreds of miles away in Hawaii.
Those types of tests, which were eventually banned by the Limited Test Ban Treaty of 1963, motivated the U.S. and the Soviet Union to begin negotiations on what eventually became the Outer Space Treaty.

Threat level: A nuclear detonation in space today would damage or outright destroy a large portion of the thousands of satellites currently in orbit.

Some of the radiation released in the explosion would become caught in Earth's magnetic fields, which could make parts of Earth's orbit untenable for most satellites for years.
Depending on the altitude of the explosion, radiation from the explosion could also create an electromagnetic pulse that causes widespread damage to electrical equipment on Earth.

A nuke in space would do a lot worse than damage a bunch of satellites. It would create fields of fast moving debris that would tear up whatever satellites remain, as well as any space stations, and possibly make it so nobody could launch a manned rocket into space for generations.

I don't think it will come to that. I'm very fortunate to have awesome CE-5 events every-night, so I'm confident that WW-III will be a non-event. We really do have off-world people helping-us along, though sadly it's not reported as such, so people are left confusedt...

We have to go back a few months to the "bush-fires" in Hawaii, where the "elite" / "secret gov't" used a directional-energy-weapon on the islanders, likely to eliminate them, so that the elite could set-up Hotels & whatever...And it was also likely deployed as a forewarning to other countries like Russia, which is why Russia is "officially" reporting the issue & their resolve in the UN.

We must remember that the moored boats, out-at-sea in the harbour, don't suffer the fate of a fire on the land...But the boats in Hawaii did...
