Nope. He’s war mongering on the command of the very media he spent the last year calling lying propaganda machines………….

Warmongering? He's speculating about a coup? If you guys hate Alex so much, why read and comment?

Expand full comment

No, he’s war mongering and propaganda.

We comment because we believe in free speech. Do you only comment when you agree? Or just disagree with other comments?

No one at the Kremlin wants western imperialism through further NATO expansion towards the Russian border. If Putin gets tossed it will be difference in opinion on strategy and winning, not the goal of keeping a buffer with the west.

Expand full comment

Expressed my frustration badly. I believe in free speech. I see no suggestion in his post of either war mongering or propaganda. I see his analysis of Putin's power - he has the goods on everyone. I see his speculation as to the motives and decision process of those in Russia who may now be questioning Putin's continuing usefulness. I doubt his analysis is correct, but it is an unusual take. I just cannot understand criticizing him for something he did not say. I see this every time certain of his readers object to his position. Oh, he's a lib, he's trying to get back with his old pals, etc. I'm just tired of it. I knew who Alex was from the beginning. So I expressed my frustration. Maybe it is you that don't believe in free speech.

Except the West is seizing all of the big players money and they have good reasons to turn on him but don’t count on it. Putin is too useful at this point doing Joe’s dirty work to take out Zelensky and the Ukrainians who gave Trump and Rudy Giuliani the dirt on Biden and the others who were demanding bribes and kickbacks and money laundering and anything else - human trafficking - from Ukraine. Biden had the Ukraine ‘portfoloio’ under Obama. He dangled NATO and EU membership and in exchange Biden sent in the CIA who recruited and trained NAZIs who along with George Soros orchestrated two coups in Ukraine and multiple coups world wide including in the US.

I agree with you both. @NCmom is reacting, in part, to some of his prior posts (I'm guessing) and @Susan G is rightfully saying that this particular post is not warmongering. This post is 100% wishful thinking and fantasy. 1 - that there is a coup plot in Russia and 2 - that the person who follows Putin is going to be better. The probem is that covid is over and Alex appears to be a 1 trick pony.

Yes, because we believe in free speech, great reply ! Comment only when you agree with all... another good point. That's what is bringing us down NOW. IF you are a democrat then you must agree with this, and this and this. If you are black, then you must also agree with this entire slate of points you are given, if you are female (does anyone know if they are any more ?) then you MUST believe this, and this and this..... HOW did all this happen, how did we LET it happen ? That if you are a registered member of a political party, if you are a certain gender, if you are a certain skin color, then "they" have a prepared list of everything you MUST espouse and support. What you believe about abortion, drug use, marriage, school attendance, immigration, divorce, health insurance, rent subsides, EVERYTHING is decided FOR you based on your skin color, or sex, or political party. It's outrageous, it's truly unbelievable, and yet... that's the way it is ! And when even the PRESIDENT backs that up as an absolute "Hey man, you AIN'T BLACK ...." if you don't this, and that, and that.... just crazy over the top outrageous. A "woman" in this country can not hold a belief that abortion should remain legal, and yet take a more conservative view of another issue, like drug legalization.... it's all a script and one can not take a "liberal" stance on one issue, and what might be viewed as a "conservative" view on another... and we call THAT DEMOCRACY ???

You're whistling past a graveyard here. If Putin were a hero he'd attack communist China but no, easier to go after the breadbasket again just like his predecessor Stalin. And here we seem to want to believe that it's justified so we don't have to be afraid of a rampaging tyrant.

There’s only one explanation for your commentary… You’re a Putin fan boy.

Alex saw right through the corporate media on Covid. Currently, the corporate media is pushing the narrative that Putin has lost his mind and that Russia is losing the war. People here are frustrated that Alex may have fallen for this narrative and has not truly learned that the corporate media lies about everything through a combination of omission and propaganda. See Gell Mann.

You clearly missed the point of this entire post. Alex is spelling out how an internal Russian revolt against Putin might be underway and that his inner circle could try to assassinate him.

Expand full comment

No, I’m not. This Putin has gone crazy and there is a coup is based on coordinated media narrative from places like Fox, WaPo, CNN. All at once they started saying this as the pound the drumbeat of war. It wasn’t an original idea or observation if Alex’s, and is in fact something Glenn Greenwald warned about eloquently 2 days before Alex wrote this post. In my anaylsis I am also considering other recent posts by Alex where, rather than questioning as he so eloquently did with Covid, the fog of war propaganda appears to be clouding his vision. While I have serious concerns about Greenwald’s lack of economic understanding, I have long found him to be one of the most informed voices on geopolitics and the surveillance state.

That's all fine and good, but the term "warmongering" means you are trying to stir up or encourage war. How is talking about potential issues internally in Russia an attempt to convince anyone to go to war? Seriously asking your opinion since it seems to me like you're misunderstanding the term "warmongering".

How so would he be war mongering? That doesn't even make sense. He's laying out a scenario about a mad mans actions.

Expand full comment

Based on conjecture and propaganda…… and right in line with the pounding of the war drums “Putin is losing it” and there might be a “coup” is often the drum beat leading to our intervention in foreign wars to promote the leadership change the US military industrial complex wants in those places…..

There are no leaked cables or other verifiable sources.

I have no idea what Putin was thinking or what his grip on power looks like, because most media here, Ukraine, and Russia is very biased and committed to a narrative. Alex doesn’t know either.

That’s exactly the common thread, isolating Putin on the world stage. Xi would be next. No wonder kids are taught nations are bad (my nephew told me this when he was 17 a few years ago), and migration is pushed throughout the West with zero assimilation, and Sarkozy called for forced miscegenation, and anti-Trump “nationalism is bad” hype was trumpeted everywhere.

Expand full comment

Quite possibly also a coup, but it's definitely showing Xi what the joined forces of the US and EU can achieve in terms of really pooling their financial markets / SWIFT / sanctions / cultural lobbying / media propaganda / travel restrictions / barring of sea passages / banning exported goods on the shop shelves etc counter-attacks, and how quickly they're all pulling together and throwing billions at the threat. It's a huge muscle flexing scare show of how strong the Western block under the US still is (after showing during the plandemic how quickly they can react to the threat of a live bioweapon, a challenge China won hands-down thanks to its ultra-totalitarian restrictions early on), and how much the West could hurt China without entering an actual military operation.

The US' supremacy is threatened, and Russia and China have been improving their cooperation, as have the BRICS as a whole (the media are keeping stumm on it but India and Brazil aren't supporting the sanctions against Russia either, as aren't many other large countries). If the whole war scenario isn't "simply" just fulfilling Schwab's Great Reset roadmap of soon-to-come blackouts, energy crises and all that in the wake of this new Euro conflict, then it's at least a very impressive "dry war" test run to behold for Xi.

Expand full comment

Your premise is that the US somehow wishes to oppose China, how did you arrive at that conclusion, in light of the copious evidence to the contrary? The US have gleefully hollowed out the US manufacturing base to China, completely ignored their multi-trillion dollar Wuhan industrial bio accident, and declined to use US financial market power in any way against their economy (which is entirely dollar based, since their currency the yuan is not convertible internationally, so the US could shut them down overnight). US ignores the murder of Tibetans, horrific human rights abuses against the Falun Gong including organ harvesting and forced abortions, repression the Uighurs, and the abuse of the freedom fighters of Hong Kong and its subsequent annexation by China. But somehow the brave EU and the brave and resolved US...are somehow uniting...to oppose *China*? Here's my question: do you also do stand-up?

Expand full comment

So true on USA gov wants to bring down China. NOT!

Expand full comment

On the other hand, China could shut the US down tomorrow as it owns all the US debt

Expand full comment

Luckily there is public data available that helps us out here. Chinese stopped buying US Treasuries in 2014, along with most other central banks. After 2014 the main buyers that kept the lights on in the US were huge private buyers, Japanese insurers, German multinationals. But that has now changed, and the main countries now buying the mountains of US debt being manufactured by the financial suicide bombing regime in the White House has shifted to Ireland, Lichtenstein, and The Cayman Islands. That means instead of steady, solvent, patient, long term investors, US keeps its lights on today at the whim of hedge fund managers. Whose job it is to turn on a dime. At this point in the cycle the smart move is to sell paper and buy stuff: oil, copper, wheat, soybeans, gold, farmland. Not pieces of paper. Might I suggest lead, and canned food too.

Mar 2, 2022·edited Mar 2, 2022

China is in itself compromised, as this debt is part of its balance sheet. For one.

The other thing is, just like Ukraine is doing right now, the US can easily demand to have its foreign debt cancelled. It holds the reserve currency. It *is* - to large extent - the financial markets. It *is* the rating agencies.

Debt to it is just virtual now. I don't think this is what it's about at all. It's about what you got. The US has got a lot: of aircraft carriers. Fighter jets. It stores much of the world's gold. Germany's, for example. The Germans requested recently to be able to do a stocktake of its gold stored in the US, and to probably take some back. The US has refused. People don't think Germany will ever get it back. Or whether it in fact still even exists over there.

That is the kind of situation we're talking about here. When you talk about "China shutting the US down", look at what "the West" is doing to Russia on the markets atm. None of this is inflicted by China. This is the power of "the West".

Article VII of the Constitution of the USA pretends to state the law on "Ratification" and 'Establishment" before each of these. The precious preamble contradicts the blunt historical truth that fewer than 1/2 of "the People" did any ordaining or establishing, and MANY of the people resisted the pseudfederalists' coup d'etat.

Maybe he appears weak because he knows he could just level the place and so why send in so many troops?

I think that we've covered this ground together already.

P.S. Check out Sarvastivada, an ancient school now defunct as far as I know. The Sarvastivadins taught that the past, present, and future stand together as a unity. It seems that their school stumbled and collapsed when it could not account for freedom of will, or at least a multitude of many different futures for any given set of spatiotemporal coordinates (x, y, z, t). This problem has been overcome. Cosmological presentism [sic] will fall.

Here's just one possible scenario: First a few anomalies and then consequence (#3 below): 1) In any real war one of the first objectives is to cut off the enemy’s communications and silence his propaganda. Putin has done neither, and he certainly has the capability. Hence, it is logical to assume that he WANTS all the pleas for help and Western involvement to continue. Why? We have to answer that satisfactorily. 2) Supremely rational, old Klaus Schwab, Putin’s long time admirer, is also encouraging the West to aid Ukraine against Putin. Are we to believe that now at the ripe old age of 187 he has had a change of heart, that he now renounces the former quasi protegé? Possible… but 3) And now the SWIFT action cutting Russia off from the central banks will also mean that said banks are going to be holding empty bags that used to contain Russian payment on debt. Without that cash they will force their governments to print yet more phony money and thereby replenish bank coffers while jump-starting global inflation that is already on a rampage. The world financial collapse (see Melissa Ciummei and Catherine Austin Fitts) awaiting just such a nudge would cause bedlam domestically, rendering ANY international military actions out of the question. The total chaos in our countries would mean that Putin could not only absorb Ukraine at his leisure, and whatever else he might be eying, and also that Xi could indulge Chinese ambitions with a free hand. Oh, yes. And then we definitely would be ready for the Great Financial Reset… beneath the benevolent smile of Klaus.

Alex, the entire Covid19 drama was exaggerated if not downright faked by a supranational group who’s identity we can only guess at, but at minimum in involves global Uber capital, heads of the largest foundations & corporations, big media, pharma, medical systems etc.

The non pharmaceutical interventions were all know to be ineffective before they were imposed tyrannically. Mass testing by PCR was the main driver of COVID cases & deaths, as few people know that there are scores of respiratory viruses capable of causing similar symptoms to Covid19. Lies about asymptomatic transmission justified masks, mass testing, lockdowns etc. The deliberately toxic c19 vaccines introduced us to mandatory digital ID, which is the perpetrators first goal.

It will be accomplished by a second, faked crisis & once done, the perpetrators will collapse the global financial system & install only cashless digital money in the form of central bank digital currencies.

Everyone will then be under totalitarian control when the no exit.

A family with three children was killed by a rocket today in Kharkiv. You are eating up Putin propaganda, you understand nothing about the culture and Putin’s strategy. This massacre is on you too.

This nonsense is ridiculous. People are fighting tanks with bare hands, they have no medical supplies. Why are they not jumping for joy greeting the groups?

Expand full comment

No one disagrees the pain and horror that people are experiencing -- on both sides. I'd guess there are Russian soldiers who wanted no part of this, as well as many Russians.

That said, if the Ukraine had no standing army to defend itself, to demand that males between 18 and 60 (are they all combat-ready? Hrrrm ... doubt that) stay and fight to be (likely) slaughtered ... I don't know. There is propaganda on both sides; such is the nature of war.

It seems there is much going on from the West, and I suspect multiple "games" are afoot. The obvious question to me is why was the go-to position from the West to ratchet this up immediately, rather than try to shut it down? Yes, there is a tremendous amount of responsibility on the West. All horrible, and all was preventable. Installing an incompetent or corrupt (or both) government in the U.S. yields results. And whether the U.S. administration is incompetent or corrupt, the end result is the same. Failure. Like any other Third World country.

And people who show how they're concerns just now about a war are a product of the media which didn't lift a finger about the killings in Eastern Ukraine back in 2014.

O'Biden saw the politics of Covid going south in a hurry 6 months ago so they prepared their pivot, he's currently facing the worst polling numbers ever faced by a US president, even Nixon leaving in the helicopter was more popular. Now since politics in the West Wing/Obama/Beyonce camp is nothing but messaging and ideology, with no concern whatsoever about whether you might, I dunno, plunge America into an inflationary depression, or *trigger World War III*, the exact same crew that delivered for you in Kabul 6 months ago got to work on their happy hunting ground, the Ukraine. Ah yes, the country ranked 154 out of 158 for corruption, where the leader not only jails journalists and closes TV stations but also jails his political opponents. That beacon of democracy where Joe, James, Mary, and of course Hunter Biden have been stealing your recycled tax dollars hand and foot for years, OF COURSE they and the WEF and the likes of George Soros want that grift to continue forever. Add in the sons of Nancy Pelosi, John Kerry, and Mitt Romney, ALL of whom are on the payroll of Ukrainian gas oligarchs, and oops add in the unindicted destroyer of evidence under subpoena whose initials are H.C. who tapped your tax money in Ukraine into her "foundation". But you, Alex, are lining up against the leader of a country that has had enough of the cesspit next door, and oh by the way standing up because 13,000 people have been killed in the disputed regions on his border over the last 8 years?

Something is way off with this “invasion”. Propaganda coming from all sides. A Russian caravan that was small, then doubled in size and STILL hasn’t made it to Kiev (yes, I meant Kiev)? This is March of 2020 all over again. Nothing is what they’re telling us it is. I don’t trust the “media”. This isn’t what we’re meant to believe. They’ve discarded the COVID card because it no longer works. Now, there’s a new “war” that will destabilize the world even further and help to usher in the New World Order.

And with the West's SWIFT proposals and the ensuing central banks deprived of Russian debt payments,the resulting inflationary surge could be the final push over the cliff of our phony fiat currency. If that happens (as predicted by Melissa Ciummei & Catherine Austin Fitts), the domestic turmoil will (among other consequences) clear the way for the Great Financial Reset. And then Putin will be revealed to have merely played his part in the WEF scheme, while at the same time being able to gobble up any real estate in the neighborhood. The same land acquisition freedom will be available to Xi.

Gosh, give it a rest, you cannot keep your head in the sand forever! From Pence to Trump-appointed judges to half of Fox's Newscasters do not believe the election was fraudulent. For every instance of claimed left wing fraud found untrue, one instance comes out of right wing fraud to be true. Neutral experts say yes, there was, and always is, a little on each side, but agree that this was one of the best elections, nothing. As we have seen with Covid, nowadays you have to read across the spectrum, from loony Q to leftist rabble to see where the shit comes from and where the truth might lie as it settles. What you can't get over, so must deny, is that someone you hate so much (not really cuddly old Joe - the average lefty) is your supreme leader.

I assume this is reference to Biden rather than Putin. But just in case its not, I will tell you my perspective on both the covid-19 and Ukrainian things.

We all know Putin's an asshole. Vox Day seems to be revering him. But the rest of us understand his's a prick. But consider. Putin is an old school nationalist. He is not a "globalist" nor is he an ideological expansionist like the old Soviet Union was. This means he cares about what people do in Russia and Russia's back yard. He doesn't care about, for example, what Chileans do living in Chile.

On the other hand, you have this "globalist" faction lead by assholes like Bill Gates, George Soros, Klaus Schwab, and all of the other ilk of the WEF. These guys want to inject you with substances against your will and carry proof of such. They want to censor what you say on the internet. They want to regulate your bank account and what you spend your money on. They want regulate what you drive and where you can drive to, and how much and where you can fly to. They want to regulate what kind of house you live in and its size. Putin doesn't want to do any of these things to me.

So, tell me. Who is the bigger threat to my life and personal and economic freedom? Is it Putin? Or is it the Gates/Soros/Schwab WEF pricks? I say the latter, BY FAR.

It is worth considering that Putin is one of the few national leaders who is willing to stand up to these globalist pricks.

Does the expression "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mean anything to you?

But how do you account for Schwab's very open endorsement of Putin? Indeed, the names Trudeau and Putin are the first to come to his lips--first team, apparently, not just some guys on the bench. That Putin values certain aspects of culture, that he is also a Russian nationalist, does not in the least mean that he will fail to see the usefulness of the global subversion of the WEF and use it as long as it is useful -- until "useful idiot" no longer requires the adjective. Furthermore as a lifelong KGB guy, the motto of which was "Shield and Sword of the Party", I would not quickly separate him from historic USSR ambitions.

Actually he is not. He is held up by Schwab as such but upon closer examination, he only ever engaged in talks with Schwab years ago and was not a student nor graduate. This is simply old-fashioned "marketing" by the WEF Chief Henchman.

Expand full comment

"Old-fashioned Marketing"? Schwab is a smarter salesman than that: "Hi, this is Jack the Ripper, and he's a real good guy." No, no, no. So Putin doesn't have the necessary paperwork? But his name comes first, along with Trudeau's, from Klaus' lips when he is asked about disciples. Obviously the older man is very happy with his Russian connection. Just sayin'.

Expand full comment

There are a few opinions on that one. Apparently Putin wasn't the right age to qualify at the time when he was in talks about this, so he never actually entered or completed the program but had been considered. Some say Schwab was simply bragging on occasion about having had Putin "under him" as well. along with everybody else (Merkel, Trudeau, Macron, Zuck, Gates, Bezos, Lagarde, von der Leyen, Brown, Blair, u name them). Either way, Putin was a guest at the WEF just like Xi has been many times. Another opinion goes that he went there to collect intelligence, as these were his post-KGB days, and that his loyalty had never been with Davos and the WEF.

The holy grail of the whole NWO/Great Reset roadmap "vision", however, would be - as I have been wondering myself - how the f**k they were going to have everything escalate the way they're supposed to, if one believes in how it's meant to play out. Meaning: soon-to-come blackouts, severe disruption of financial markets, banks, shortage of all kinds of consumer goods and food due to imploding transport links, chaos, further energy shortages, etc. We saw tiny signs of all of that during the height of the plandemic which now appears to become replaced by this war situation. Seeing that the variants simply aren't really scaring anyone anymore, they need a new global scare to escalate towards the next level.

This war could bring all that - the huge sanctions, potentially "years" of ongoing conflict as already "predicted" by plenty of system stooge politicians and analysts. So plenty of time to take us to Schwab's 2030. As the virus ran its course and wasn't deadly enough, and as they probably couldn't fabricate a new one right away without looking like total gangsters, a war with Russia opens a whole new world of opportunities.

So, under that light, Putin may well be "in on it" by escalating a conflict he realistically will know he can't win easily or without throwing Russia and parts of the world economy into turmoil. So it may all be set up, which might explain a few other oddities around this "crisis" that may be manufactured. Xi is already far ahead with implementation, as China already has the social credit scores and 360° citizen control. Putin (or whoever succeeds him) will benefit from those totalitarian new instruments as well, so he may also choose to go along with Schwab's agenda 2030 and gift it to the EU, US and his part of Asia by participating. Without losing face at home or the public becoming suspicious, a drawn-out semi-fake war, bringing the world economy to its knees after COVID, and raising all sorts of new security measures (border controls, better IDs, perhaps more terrorism once again etc), would do the job and complete the next chapter of that nasty Great Reset.

So yeah, maybe a Dear Young Leader after all.

As someone with populist tendencies, I was hoping Putin wasn't in the club, even if he may have had the opportunity. Unless you buy the Western spin that he's become a mad man (which I don't) the invasion seems completely out of character & reckless. Makes me wonder about that club...

Even if Putin wasn't in on it, then all the provocation and NATO buildup on Russia's border sure was enough to set the bear off, that's for sure. So Klaus & Co. would've gotten their catastrophy either way.

A distinction in what you state: Anyone who enlists is already evincing a statist perspective; we can see something fundamental of their assumptions. This is more important than where they may stand on any particular issue. They can be on any side of it. True, there are always degrees of alignment. But let us not confuse the "information gathering" explanation with going to the library to check out the card catalogue or, in our time, doing a google search of topics. It leads us to ask, "What drew them in in the first place?" And as for Putin, the significant fact is not how he saw himself, but how the ringleader viewed (or views) him; And the record makes that crystal clear.

Expand full comment

Alex you're losing it. Putin, though, is quite sharp. Seriously. You are regurgitating CIA propaganda that is broadcast on CNN.

This is simple. The US weaponized right wing Ukrainians and put them in charge of Ukraine. They've been killing Russians (the separatists) on Russia's border for 8 years and they've been screwing with Russia more and more. Zelensky was a nut and he started to even talk about building nuke weapons but the Neo-Nazis and right wing extremists in that gov, in the military and the command of the military are far worse.

Russia eliminated America's weapon that was on her border. Putin will be viewed as a hero and his popularity will increase. It has already.

Putin and Russian leadership have spoken about a necessity to decouple from "the west" for some time and a need to turn to the east. They've spoken about steps they've taken to do so. The sanctions might hurt but the Russians believed (i think correctly) that those were coming no matter what they did. Its been painfully obvious that the dems are obsessed with destroying Russia and Europe is a bunch of russophobic, US controlled lemmings. I wouldn't be surprised if the greater economic pain and regime changes that happen are in the EU. Russia has prepared for 20 years.

The military campaign is well orchestrated and rather effective (don't believe the US news). They'll put in a puppet regime, get rid of the Nazis, balkanize the place and leave, though they'll likely keep a small force of peacekeepers there.

I recommend reading or at least reading about Zbigniew Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" as it seems to be the blueprint for US foreign policy towards Russia and Central Asia.

Russia has the ability to wipe German industry off the grid by shutting off the gas. By acting like poodles for the empire, the entire EU has nobody to blame but themselves. Despite being vilified by the Western world, Putin does NOT want to rebuild the Soviet Union, he simply wants reasonable security guarantees for the Country. He was backed into a corner with no room left to negotiate with the US and Ukraine & has fully committed. The military operation will stop once Ukraine is de-nazified and demilitarized. Hopefully, there are still reasonable diplomats left in the world that can bring about a solution to prevent more bloodshed and strife before it gets to the point where we all become vaporized. I'm sorry, this is another colossal failure of US foreign policy. I wish the US would start building up its OWN crumbling bridges, rather than blowing up others.

It will all come out in the wash eventually. We just need to keep our distance until it does.

Quite frankly, what I think we're witnessing is a clash between two competing evils. On the one side you've got Putin and his oligarchs. On the other side you've got the CIA/MI6/Globalist/WEF cabal and their oligarchs.
