The nonsense in Ukraine is of net benefit to no one except the war industry.

...and to the monsters who want to distract people from the whole "covid" tyranny, the death shots and the financial disaster coming.

Tragically!

Wrong.

There was a huge benefit to the people of Donbas.

Except for the dead ones.

The "dead ones" that were being systematically killed by the Azov Battalion?

Run a search, Lon.

Don’t have to. I’ve read all about it. I’m sure the people who arm the Nazis and the people who are arming their enemies are all in it for the benefit of mankind. 100% certain. Their love for humanity is manifest for all to see.

NATO is who armed and funded the Azov Battalion.

Of course all of this benefits the 4 families no matter who is fighting who. War is the most profitable enterprise, and it is always fought over gold (money). Therefore power and control.

But any Americasn who hold this against Putin needs to ask themselves how they would react to Russia engineering a color revolution in Mexico in order to install a Russia friendly regime, and then installing nuclear arms in Mexico?

Anyone who makes Putin their Boogeyman is just projecting.

I agree. I think it’s far more complicated than the simplistic story told by the military/industrial/medical/media/bankster complex. There are always two sides (at least) to every story. The people on the ground would certainly prefer to end this with non-violent means, but there’s no money for the oligarchs in that, so war it is.

Men have to stop obeying leaders who sit in a safe palast. Leaders need to be heading their armies. See how many wars there would be

There’s a spreading disgust for national belligerence for any reason; it has been exposed for what it is: the “elite” pursuing their own ends at the cost of the lives and treasure of the ordinary citizen. This was obvious, if not from Bosnia or Iraq, then surely from Afghanistan.

This latest round of propaganda touting this war, from whatever side, stinks every bit as much, if not more, than the “Covid” propaganda. It’s all contrived, and so transparent that it’s gut-wrenching that anyone could buy into it.

The revolution will come, as has been foreshadowed by the “Freedom Convoy” and it will be the nightmare of the elites.

Expand full comment

Indeed. And if 'Klaus Schwab & Company' continue on their current trajectory, I predict we will see a 'French Revolution 2.0' on a global scale (perhaps catalyzed by a Nuremberg 2.0 for the scamdemic), because the more rights and freedoms the Elite keep taking away, the more people are waking up to the unfolding tyranny (no matter how much the media tries to keep them asleep). The people will reach a breaking point, and then all hell will break loose.

Do not forget to include the philantropists, the Gates foundation, Carnegie, Rockefeller and consorts, because for over 100 years they have been raking in money by poisoning the earth and its people.

They deserve every bit of it. But how will we stop the history repeating itself? Groundhogs day must be ovet

What I’d like to say about this essay has already been expressed so well by so many who’ve commented. Thank you, Tessa and all! Our next door neighbors are from Russia. We got together once to talk politics and came to the conclusion that the people of both countries have been played by our so-called leaders. My husband and I didn’t realize that the USSR’s occupation of Afghanistan was like the US war on Vietnam — soldiers were pawns in the game. Those who didn’t die on the battlefield were discarded at home. War is for profit of the powerful, the rest of us be damned.

I found it hard to click on the heart here, because it needs to be a broken one, as you noted. Thanks for writing this, Tessa. It seems likely that as people are finally rebelling against the covid fear story, the ones “in charge” need something else in the news to scare us.

James Corbett did a report on Ukraine the day before Russia invaded. Regardless, he does his usual excellent job of giving the historical context of the conflict:

Havn't read all this yet as I'm just heading back out to talk to a few of the pro Ukrainian protestors who are actively protesting against the anti-mandate protestors here in Dunedin. (Opposite sides of the road).

There is a tendency for some Westerners to go pro Putin in light of their own leaders mendacity. Big mistake.

Expand full comment

Yep. Maybe. But not a mistake to be pro Russian people. And pro Ukrainian. And pro UK. And pro USA. People. Not 'states', not 'nations' - people.

See how the people globally have been manipulated and stripped of all they have during this covid thing.

Now they seek to set the people at each other's throats and take what they have left.

The people should call a stop.

"See how the people globally have been manipulated and stripped....Covid" I am hoping people will start talking about how COVID the disease (or COVID the sham) *intentionally* destabilized the world setting the table for these bad actors to execute their desires, instead of viewing it as a lab leak "oops".

Expand full comment

You might be right. There's quite a few of that same opinion I see. Or something similar. Even Dr Malone I believe. For myself I find it difficult to see how anyone could have known things would go the way they did: the universal insanity of the rulers, the universal docility of the masses, the universal cooperation of the msm, the universal silence from the 'intelligentsia' (?). Who could possibly have known? Have forecast?

And secondly I find it hard to see what more anyone might want. Haven't they got everything already? See the previous.

You have to try to make sense of insanity. Having material wealth is not enough for some. The one thing assured is that their plans fail. It's up to us to make something good out of it.

Yes!!! And there are numerous strikes going on and they are all off the radar, the derision against the Canadian truckers embodies how these igarvhs feel about working people, and how truly threatening we are to the system when united in solidarity, true empathy, which is on everyone, which is the good news of covid- many complied because their empathy was weaponized & hijacked by the machine, proof of its existence, now well be taking it back along with our power.

I agree with Charles Eisenstein and Zach Bush, we already won, AND we keep doing our part. Grateful for your role model Tessa, for guiding us all as to what doing our part looks like, energetically of course, because we are not all writers. 💫💛🙏🏽💛💫❣

Forgive me for being less concerned about Putin than say, Trudeau. We're fenced off by borders, so it is the local tyrants that deserve priority.

Today the second convoy to Wellington rolled through lil old Dunedin town, probably about 50-80 vehicles.

And for an hour (probably no more than that) a group of people went and protested across the road from the anti vaccine mandate protestors who set up camp in the centre of the city several weeks ago. So a convoy of about 50-80 cars rolls through the city on their way to Wellington and guess who's in the paper.

Yep the masked up Ukraine protestors.

The whole idea that they're against tyranny 17,000 kms away but not right here was a ridiculous one. And I doubt many of them could have pointed Ukraine out on a map either (I rode up and chatted to them for a minute or so)

Oh the irony of the current flipping within, right is new left, left is new right, but either way the oligarchy wins. We must unite in our own power and say no collectively.

I see this as an opportunity to reach across and make the connections with each other and our need to unite, peoples of the world unite!

Are Kiwis required to wear masks outdoors?

I can believe ex-pats are concerned about their homeland. If your media is as corrupt as ours, they'll be accusing anti-mandate protestors of being Putin-lovers.

Expand full comment

They wern't expats, save for about 2 who got on the newspaper video. They gave me the impression of being rent a crowd.

No we're not required to wear masks outdoors and there's also an easy exemption available indoors but I'm just about always the only unmasked one in the supermarket when I go. Always nice to see somebody else unmasked though.

If I'm reading this right, the pro-Ukrainian protesters and pro-covid mandate protesters are one in the same? Interesting.

Thank you, Tessa. No one is saying it but it remains true as ever was: It is manipulation. The people do not want to make war on each other.

The Russian people do not want to kill Ukrainians.

The Ukrainians do not want to kill Russians.

You can safely say that generally the people of any nation do not want to kill, do not want to wage ware.

Always there's fee ratbags who talk like that, stirrers, trouble makers, band wagon riders, amoral press and so on - but even they (especially they?) do not want to don uniforms and get up there on the front line and risk getting maimed or killed.

Nope.

But it is the people that are set at each other's throats.

And the people that are always missing in these discussions.

It's way past time for the people to start saying 'no'. "No wars until we say so'.

And those that said it can go do the fighting. The killing. The dying.

But some people are robots who follow orders. They do not hate, yet they are willing to kill.

My husband was in the US military, so I can say definitively, that soldiers are *taught* to hate (and de-humanize) the enemy for the express purpose of making them willing to kill. It's both barbaric and sickening.

Thank you so much for what you're saying about a pox on both houses! The fact is Putin is a criminal and so are the people running the show in the US. In fact, the real problem is fake nationalism propelled by a push-button patriotism which sets human beings against each other. This has been going on since the beginning of Emprie but has been magnified since the invention of the modern nation-state -- only four centuries ago! Gee, just as old as the beginning of what turned into the technocratic takeover, erasing of freedoms, surveillance states. On various conscious posts I've seen a lot of defense of Putin. It's totally erroneous.
