Will NATO survive or not? This issue is being increasingly discussed in the West. If we follow the evolution of the headlines of the mainstream media over the past few weeks, we can identify a fairly straightforward trend, indicating a shift from doubts to increasingly confident answers about this issue. Here are just a few such examples:

February twenty-third, Politico: "NATO may die soon";

March 17th, Vox: "Has Trump already killed NATO?";

On March 20th, The Daily Telegraph reported, "Trump won't kill NATO; the alliance is already dead."

It's a funny roll call of headlines, and it can be continued indefinitely — too many analytical articles have been written about this in recent days. Although opinions sound different, in the vast majority of cases, the authors agree that NATO will not stand up for some minor member of the alliance "if the Russians attack it" (and Russia, of course, has nothing else to do but attack a poor, unhappy and defenseless member NATO).

It is clear that most often some Baltic country is mentioned in the list of potential victims of the coming aggression. Retired British Army Colonel Richard Kemp, for example, urges us to think about a scenario in which the Russian population of Latvia will turn to Moscow for help in protecting their ethnic rights. The author, of course, does not suggest thinking about how to eliminate the cause of the problem a priori: did the British ever care about the rights of the Russian population in a particular country? No, he's more concerned about what NATO will do when Russia "attacks Latvia." "Even if we had enough troops and ammunition to fight, are we ready to see British guys die for Riga?" Kemp wonders. Well, what follows is the development of this exciting scenario.: "And if we don't fight for Latvia, will we fight for Poland or Romania" when their turn comes?

A significant amount of US military power has been on the move over this past week, including several B-2 strategic bombers which have landed at the US military base in Diego Garcia in the Indian Ocean just over 2,000 miles southeast of Iran. According to press reports this is the most significant B-2 presence on the Island in nearly half a decade. In addition flight trackers are showing increased activity by at least nine KC-135R refueling aircraft in the region. Several C-17 cargo planes have also been spotted by satellites on the Island.

The US President has ordered US Carrier Strike Group Carl Vinson to the Mideast.

While the Administration continues to escalate its illegal bombing campaign against Yemen – some are reporting more than 60 strikes today alone and President Trump promises that they will continue “for a long time” – speculation is increasing that the Diego Garcia build-up is the beginning of the long process of positioning US military muscle for an attack on Iran.

President Trump today warned although his “big preference is we work it out with Iran…if we don’t work it out, bad bad things are gonna happen with Iran.”

So is the US president elected with the promise to end wars rather than start them ready to launch a war against the modern, technologically-advanced nation of 90 million with an extremely complicated terrain, advanced military capabilities, and a newly-signed strategic partnership treaty with Russia? No one knows.

Congress seems uninterested in its Constitutional obligation to serve as the red light or green light for war – there has been nary a peep over Trump’s bombing of Yemen to, as his top aides were caught saying, “send a message.” Does anyone believe they will come out of their slumber as Hegseth, Waltz, Rubio, and the rest of the gang that couldn’t shoot straight (or at least plan a war on Signal straight) position the US for an attack on Iran?

Marco Rubio, a Republican foreign policy hawk tapped by Donald Trump to lead the US Department of State in his new administration, is known for his confrontational stance toward Iran and close ties with anti-Iran groups.

A staunch ally of the Republican Jewish Coalition, Rubio has even advocated for a direct attack on Iran’s nuclear facilities by the Israeli regime, saying such an attack "would have been successful."

In a 2015 interview, he asserted that the Tel Aviv regime "has a right to act in its self-defense, which it did in the past when it struck facilities in Syria and other places."

The Florida senator is an ardent and self-proclaimed Zionist who supports the Tel Aviv regime’s settler-colonialism project and land grabs in the occupied West Bank, as well as ongoing genocide in Gaza and Lebanon.

Like Trump and Biden, Rubio is fiercely opposed to the truce and blames all civilian casualties on the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas, for which he even employs dehumanizing vocabulary. He was heard recently referring to Palestinian resistance fighters as "vicious animals."

Trump's pick for Secretary of State is among the Israeli lobby's biggest recipients of donation, receiving at least $1,013,563 from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), the top Zionist lobby group in the US that exerts considerable influence in US power corridors.

All Four to "Kick-Off" World War 3 - Or Will it be Trump Assassination that does it?

Right now, there is the Russia-Ukraine Conflict, a slow-simmering, but soon-to-be-hot, Israel-Iran conflict, the ominous China-Taiwan situation, and now North Korea-South Korea. Are all four going to kick-off for World War 3 this month? It looks that way.

Let's begin with the Russia-Ukraine thing. Ukraine is losing. Badly. There is no hope for Ukraine to prevail, or even to survive without direct NATO entry into the conflict. If NATO enters the conflict, then that is immediate, NUCLEAR, World War 3.

A well known Geo-Political Expert in Finland, Thomas Malinen, says he believes the situation for the collective West with the Russia-Ukraine war is at the point where "the future of NATO is at-stake" and as such, he believes a "bat-shit crazy escalation" must (and is going to) take place. He says:

He points out that there have already been two distinct Ukraine counter-offensives, both of which failed miserably. The first, vaunted "Spring Counter-offensive" in 2023, fell on its face. Complete failure. The second, Ukraine's invasion of Kursk, Russia, which is an unmitigated disaster with losses of manpower and equipment so bad, it is literally a slaughter of Ukraine.

We see clearly the collapse of the manipulation that has confined discourse to within the various Washington villages.

The Editor at Large for the Wall Street Journal, Gerry Baker, says: ‘We’ve been “gaslit’ and deceived” – for years – “all in the name of ‘democracy’”. That deceit “collapsed” with the Presidential debate, Thursday’.

💬 “Until the world saw the truth … [against] the ‘misinformation’ … the fiction of Mr. Biden’s competence … suggests they [the Democrats] evidently thought they could get away with promoting it. [Yet] by perpetuating that fiction they were also revealing their contempt for the voters and for democracy itself”.

Baker continues:

💬 “Biden succeeded because he made toeing the party line his life’s work. Like all politicians whose egos dwarf their talents, he ascended the greasy pole by slavishly following his party wherever it led … Finally—in the ultimate act of partisan servility, he became Barack Obama’s vice president, the summit of achievement for those incapable, yet loyal: the apex position for the consummate ‘yes man’”.

💬 “But then, just as he was ready to drift into a comfortable and well-deserved obscurity, his party needed a front man … They sought a loyal and reliable figurehead, a flag of convenience, under which they could sail the progressive vessel into the deepest reaches of American life — on a mission to advance statism, climate extremism and self-lacerating wokery. There was no more loyal and convenient vehicle than Joe”.

If so, then who actually has been ‘pulling America’s strings’ these past years?

In one case, a young Black woman is violently shoved to the ground by a crazed Zionist man, while in another case that was caught on video, a young man is caught yelling the N-Word repeatedly.

As the American corporate media and government mobilize in opposition to student protests across the United States, ridiculously attempting to portray pro-Palestinian demonstrations as being in support of terrorism and anti-Semitism, pro-Israeli counter-protesters launch a campaign of racist hate. Repeatedly there have been reports of and videos in which Zionists yell the N-word, but why do they direct their hate towards Black people?

While student encampments are being set up on University campuses across the United States and beyond, with protests urging academic institutions to divest from Israeli-linked companies, the establishment is employing every tactic available to discredit and combat these efforts. Suddenly, US corporate broadcast media outlets, such as CNN and FOX News, who would usually object to the other's description of the color of the sky being blue, are condemning pro-Palestinian students together. With few exceptions, a bipartisan effort between Democratic and Republican Party representatives - who only seem capable of agreeing on financing war - has been launched to smear the anti-war movement as violent and anti-Semitic.

Dozens of protesters were arrested on Wednesday while participating in pro-Palestine demonstrations across US college campuses.

At least 34 protesters, including a member of the media from a local news station, were arrested during protests at the University of Texas in Austin, and at least 50 more were detained by police at the University of Southern California [USC].

The arrests come amid a wave of demonstrations at campuses across the US, which began last week after students at New York’s Columbia University set up encampments calling for the university to divest from weapons manufacturers with ties to “Israel”.

The crackdown led to mass suspensions and arrests of hundreds of students in New York and other cities.

House speaker, Mike Johnson, jumped into the fray on Wednesday with a visit to Columbia’s campus, where he faced jeers from the pro-Palestinian protesters and called for the resignation of the university’s president.

Flanked by several Republican members of Congress, Johnson denounced the demonstrations as “mob rule” and condemned what he called a “virus of antisemitism” at colleges nationwide.

“It’s not enough to say it’s nuts, you have to explain why it’s so nuts.” – Terrance McKenna

“Joe Biden’s” victory dance in South Carolina — down on the ol’ Democratic Party Plantation, where they grows votes — didn’t last long. By Sunday, a rogue satellite named Tucker Carlson was spotted orbiting over Russia, Russia, Russia, a country you have to say three times so that people get how serious it is. Carlson threatens to actually sit down in the same room with Putin, Putin, Putin — the antithesis of “Joe Biden,” since Putin actually operates as head-of-state — and convey Mr. P’s thoughts and opinions to the citizens of America via the rascally social media platform called “X.”

Do you realize the danger of exposing Americans to what this Putin might say? Hearing him express his thoughts about the world situation in a leisurely format — which Putin does regularly among his own people (I’ve seen him do it!) — is liable to inform Americans that their own political leadership is a party of mental illness.

Even without this new provocation of a Carlson / Putin colloquy, folks in the land of the free and the home of the brave have begun to grok just how insane things have gone under “Joe Biden” blobism. And that darn conversation comes just egg-zackly at the moment when our Senate is attempting to package a bill tying a $60-billion taxpayer gift to Ukraine with a “border security” law that will forbid more than 8,500 foreigners on any given day to enter the USA illegally. Sweet deal, huh? Er. . . maybe not. On the House side of Congress, Speaker Mike Johnson says, “No way, José.”

Former vice president at Pfizer, Dr. Mike Yeadon: The real goal of the "pandemic" was total digital enslavement, using digital ID and CBDCs: "[The] logical endpoint [is] totalitarian control of everyone on the planet using digital techniques. This whole thing is a multi-year plan designed to smash civil society, to wreck the economy, and to introduce various digital controls, [including] digital ID." "If you accept this, you are in the first stages of the same funnel that cattle go down waiting [for] the stun bullet. So please say no, because there’s no escape from the totalitarian control that digital ID will grant. Whoever owns the database and controls the algorithm, controls you." Dr. Michael Yeadon’s presentation at an SVPTF webinar, Every Breath You Take: Big Brother’s Plan to Stalk You through the WHO, on Feb. 27, 2023. Dr. Michael Yeadon, PhD, former Vice-President and Chief Scientific Officer for Allergic and Respiratory Diseases worldwide for the drug company, Pfizer. He is the co-founder and former CEO of the biotech company Ziarco. Topic: Are the MRNA injections toxic by mistake or by design? Why is the WHO pressing them on the world?

TRANSCRIPT:[00:00:00] I can hardly describe to the audience how frustrated and angry as well as worried I feel. So I'm a career scientist, as Frank said. It's been obvious to me since about April 2020. That what was going on, these cells, which hadn't yet been fully understood, had as their logical endpoint totalitarian control of everyone [00:00:30] on the planet using digital techniques. And I'm afraid I believed then. And I believe even more firmly now that it's not just Big Brother in control that we face, it's extinction. And I'm going to describe why I am so sure about that. I'm getting up to three figures of interviews I've given, and it's immensely frustrating because as I gather [00:01:00] knowledge, I grow more and more certain of some of the things I'm going to tell you. And they ought to be such that a reasonable person, having heard them, you either got to decide that despite my years of experience and the fact that I've gained nothing from speaking out, I'm either mad or what I'm telling you is pretty, right? Pretty well, right? It's the latter. Obviously. I don't think I've gone crazy and I've received not a penny of compensation. [00:01:30] I haven't thought about it nor accepted anything, so I'll cut to the chase then. So before we get into the vaccines, it's actually really rather important to go back to the big picture. I've got a rhetorical question for you. How many times what's the right number of times would you think it appropriate for the public health people in your country and the leading politicians in your country to get on the TV and lie to you in your face? [00:02:00] What's the right number of times if it's in relation to health matters that could affect your health, your family's health, or your life? How many times? The answer is zero, isn't it? Am I making mistakes? But if they deliberately tell you things that they know are not true and can affect your health and life, I think you should disregard everything they say thereafter.

I AM a 52-year-old woman living in criminal-corporatocracy Australia. When Covid struck I was locked down with my husband John. I do not do Facebook or Twitter or the others, and I have always avoided news as I found it so depressing. John would sometimes tell me news which he got from the ABC. We were perfect clueless believers.

When I spoke to my GP she told me that she had been vaccinated, and that lots of people need to get vaccinated so that the hospital system doesn’t fall over. She didn’t mention safety or risk or me specifically. At that time I didn’t notice the enormous wrongs in that advice.

I talked with John about the vaccine and I suggested we not get it, we wait, and he thought we should get it because the airlines required it and I wanted to travel to visit my elderly father.

I trusted and believed in the knowledge of both my doctor and my husband. I searched for information about the vaccines and the results were mostly US and Australian government websites and places such as the Mayo Clinic. I didn’t have a chance. The game was rigged and I had no idea we were even playing a game.

I got three vaccinations at the newly converted clinic nearby. They took my DNA, although they didn’t explain that they were doing that. I had to sign something which I didn’t understand. The nurse had to read out something which I didn’t understand. On the day of the third a big lump grew in my armpit. The internet said it was fine and it meant the medicine was working. It went away, but that’s not the end of the story.
