Daily Chronicles … OT April 25

The Multipolar Alliance closes ranks against common foes. There’s always a reaction. Time to cut the Puppeteer’s Strings. Security and BRICS planning, crafted around China’s Global Security Initiative, appear the foci.

“Hidden from sight, evil plays,
Pulling strings in unseen ways.
Like puppets, we dance to its tune,
Under the sun, the stars, the moon.

Each string, a lie, a deceit,
Moving us with invisible feet.
Controlled, guided, without a clue,
Of the hands that guide what we do.

Yet when the strings are finally cut,
We see the path from the rut.
The puppeteer’s game, at last revealed,
In the light, the truth unsealed.”

⭕️ Russian-Iranian contacts have multiplied at the highest level and through the military departments’ leadership, Russian Defense Minister says

🔸️”The joint fight against international terrorism in Syria is a vivid example of our long-standing friendly relations. Recently, [the relations] have acquired a particularly trusting character and are successfully developing,” Sergei Shoigu said during a working meeting with the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics of the Islamic Republic of Iran, Mohammad Ashtiani, in the Kazakh capital city of Astana.
🔸️According to the minister, “the cooperation between Russia and Iran has always been dynamic and multifaceted.”
🔸️”The current military-political situation and threats to our states oblige us to do this, as well as common approaches to building a just world order based on equality for all participants in the international community,” Shoigu stated.

⭕ 🇿🇦 Nelson Mandela’s grandson Mandla Mandela’s account on X was blocked

🔸️It is unclear why the suspension of the account was allowed by the owner of the social network Elon Musk, who was born in South Africa.
🔸️The suspension coincided with Mandla Mandela’s departure for Gaza on the Freedom Flotilla and occurred just one day before the 30th anniversary of the official end of apartheid in South Africa.
🔸️The 2024 Gaza Freedom Flotilla, organized by the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, is set to depart from Turkey in April 2024. This humanitarian relief mission aims to provide aid to the Gaza Strip amidst the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict.
👉 In December 2023, at the 5th Global Convention of Solidarity with Palestine, Mandla Mandela drew parallels between the struggle against apartheid in South Africa and the Palestinian cause.

💠 @Intel Slava Z:
⭕ 🇺🇲🇺🇦🇷🇺 Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces Charles Brown avoided answering questions about whether Ukraine could win the confrontation with Russia, and also about the fact that Ukraine had to withdraw Abrams tanks from the front line due to the threat of Russian drones.

⭕️ 🇺🇲🇨🇳❗️The United States has found evidence of China’s attempts to influence the outcome of the upcoming presidential election. This statement was made by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken in an interview with CNN following his visit to Beijing.
LOL!

⭕️ 🇷🇺🇺🇦❗️The situation in the combat zone for Ukrainian troops “is difficult and tends to worsen,” Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Syrsky admitted to Western allies

⭕️ 🇨🇳🇺🇲 None of the Chinese authorities saw off US Secretary of State Antony Blinken at Beijing airport. Only American Ambassador Burns kept his boss company

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ What a chore to receive this Blinken. A video of Chinese President Xi Jinping who seems bored before receiving Antony Blinken.

🔸️Even before receiving him, Xi said to one of his collaborators:
“When is he going to leave?”
“Tonight”
🔸️Xi walks in circles before receiving the crow. He launches a tirade that Blinken did not want to hear. No Chinese official, not even the smallest official, accompanied Blinken to the plane that was to take him out of China.
🔸️In an unmistakable sign, as soon as he left China, Blinken, angry and resentful, began by saying that “the United States will increase the pressure on China” |video|
This is a terrifying tableau! Redolent of the open contempt that started to take hold with Russia before the Dec 2021 Ultimatum… China is being driven to this..

⭕ The very democratic German Polizei is a model of its kind. To their credit, they avoid strangling the poor demonstrators like the US police. They simply relax a little by punching them in the back of the head and neck… |video|
This is beyond criminal. Coppers are committing suicide. If this doesn’t wake Germany, nothing will! The shame….

Practical business starts to be done outside the UN system through the BRICS powers…

⭕️ 🇺🇸 🇹🇩 US planning to reposition some of its forces from Chad as part of an ongoing review of security cooperation

🔸️”As I understand it, talks continue with Chadian officials. US AFRICOM is currently planning to reposition some US military forces from Chad, a portion of which were already scheduled to depart. This is a temporary step as part of an ongoing review of our security cooperation,” Pentagon Press Secretary Patrick Ryder said on Thursday.
🔸️The cooperation is expected to resume following Chadian elections scheduled for May 6, Ryder added.
🔸️Last week, the Chadian government sent a letter to the US defense attaché, threatening to cancel an agreement regarding the United States’ military presence in Chad, according to US media.
🔸️The letter ordered the United States to remove personnel from the French military base in N’Djamena, although it did not explicitly demand the US military to leave the country.

⭕ 🇬🇧”Rwanda is a different country to Congo, isn’t it?”: UK minister baffles audience with geographic gaffe on TV

🔸️ UK Home Office minister Chris Philp became the subject of ridicule when he publicly questioned the distinction between Rwanda and Congo. This happened as the official was defending the UK government’s controversial deportation policy.
🔸️ An audience query probed whether Congolese individuals, hypothetically affected by the policy, would be sent to Rwanda. When Philp insinuated that the policy wouldn’t apply to Rwandans sent to Rwanda, an audience correction revealed his mix-up between the nations.
🔸️ His fellow panelist, as well as people in the studio were visibly bewildered by the official’s confusion. |video|

⭕️ 🇧🇴”NATO poses a threat to peace in the region,” Bolivian president says

🔸️In an exclusive interview with Sputnik, Luis Arce commented on Argentina’s ambition to become a global partner of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization and the country’s minister of security’s loud claim that Iranian militants were allegedly detected at the border with Bolivia.
🔸️”We know what NATO is up to in various countries. Look at what’s happening in the war between Ukraine and Russia. There, NATO also plays a fundamental role in explaining what’s happening in this part of the world,” he said.
🔸️Bolivia “completely rejects the statements of the Argentine minister” as they are “unfounded, have no evidence, and only try to distract from the crisis Argentina is experiencing,” the president underlined.

⭕️ 🌍 Most nations of the Global South are concerned about NATO’s attempts to extend its influence into the Asia-Pacific region and Latin America, Russian foreign minister says

🔸️The statement was made at a press conference following talks in Moscow with Bolivian Foreign Minister Celinda Sosa Lunda.
👉 Those are right, who instead of playing this geopolitical game, which NATO sees as a zero-sum game, prefer to deal with internal issues, to provide normal education, including for their citizens, Sergey Lavrov added.
🔸️Lavrov also recalled Russia’s negative experience in relations with NATO as a result of false promises and aggressive activities of the bloc.

💠 @Intel Slava Z:
⭕ 🇹🇩🇺🇲 In another blow to the United States on the African stage, the Pentagon will withdraw 75 special forces personnel from Chad, days after announcing its intention to withdraw 1,000 troops from Niger, the New York Times reported. The trend of African countries refusing to support the United States and demands to reconsider their security relations with them. Mali, Burkina Faso, Niger and other countries have already distanced themselves from the US and are very close to Russia, and Washington has warned Chad that separatist elements are trying to damage the government with the help of Russian mercenaries.

⭕ 🇷🇺🇺🇦🇺🇲 Ukraine has withdrawn US-provided Abrams tanks from the combat zone because Russian drones have made them too vulnerable, AP reports, citing Pentagon sources. The US will work with the Ukrainians to change tactics, the US military said. [😂 😁]
A Challenger, a Leopard, and a Merkava look up inside Abe’s Saloon as the chastened Abrams rolls in…

⭕ 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇦 NATO is directly responsible for the crisis in Ukraine – Chinese Foreign Ministry

⭕ In [Gaza’s] Khan Yunis, they continue to dig up mass graves containing hundreds of those killed by the Israeli terrorists. More than 700 murdered Palestinians, including women and children, have already been discovered in three mass graves that have already been excavated. |video|

⭕ 🇨🇳🇷🇺🇺🇳 China is calling for the launch of an international investigation into the Nord Stream terrorist attack under the auspices of the UN. This was stated by the country’s deputy permanent representative to the UN at a Security Council meeting.

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ The United States withdraws its aircraft carrier USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN-69) from the Red Sea and redeploys it to the eastern Mediterranean. The situation in the Red Sea is too volatile to risk a nuclear-powered aircraft carrier.
The Abrams tanks were withdrawn from the Ukraine front and the USS Dwight D. Eisenhower from the Red Sea.
The elections are approaching…

⭕ 🇮🇷🇱🇰 Iran built the gigantic 618m “Uma Oya” irrigation and hydroelectric complex for Sri Lanka, equal to Shanghai’s tower’s height, underground.
🔸With Raisi’s visit to Sri Lanka & the inauguration of the Uma Oya, Sri Lanka will now also reveive flights by the Iranian Mahar Air airliner.
🔸This is a significant power move by Iran to have Mahan Air fly to Sri Lanka since Mahan Air is sanctioned by the West.
As on the larger canvas, so in West Asia: The US destroys, China builds. Zion destroys, Iran builds, from Venezuela, Africa to South Asia….

Iran calls on BRICS to play role in stopping Israeli crimes

🔹Iran has called on the BRICS group of emerging economies to play a role in putting an immediate stop to Israeli crimes against the Palestinians.

💠 RT: (Joker’s edition)
⭕ “Moscow issues diplomatic warning to Washington”
🔸“Russia is considering the option of downgrading the status of diplomatic relations with the USA in case of practical measures to confiscate its assets,” RIA Novosti quotes Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov.
This merely formalizes the de facto situation. But it will increase gridlock and lack of maneuver room for the combined West worldwide. Nothing will get done without either the goodwill or the blessings of Russia…..

⭕ “Russia freezes assets of largest US bank”
🔸”A St. Petersburg court ordered the freezing of funds owned by US banking giant JPMorgan Chase in Russia on Wednesday.”
Even before official severance of relations, Russians are quick to act in warning.. This is as big as the Houthis interdicting Red Sea trade… The stuff of wars in the good old days. The flagellation of the former Hegemon continues.. What will topple the USUK zombie Ponzi? Iran @ Hormuz, fleeing of external investors due to this open piracy, debt, black swan…?

Beached Admiral Radakin: … “Forward, the Light Brigade!” Was there a man dismayed? Not though the soldier knew …

Well, kill society, its prospects and all demand, there’s a silver lining in the cloud according to western “economists.”

⭕️ “US considers ‘mobile bases’ for Pacific war” – Civilian oil platforms could be modified into supply depots and missile launchers (against China).
This idiocy was debunked by Smoothie (here). Reminds of certain Hollywood movies with flying aircraft carriers…. are they that stupid, or engaging in time-filler narratives for a raving internal audience??

⭕️ 🎙 Briefing by Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova (Moscow, April 18, 2024)
🔹 Terrorist attacks by Ukrainian neo-Nazis against Russian medical workers
#Ukraine #KievRegimeCrimes
🔸️With obsessive cruelty, fighters from the Ukrainian Armed Forces hunt down the medical workers who are helping the victims of shelling attacks and target them in an attempt to destroy them and prevent them from saving civilians.
🔸️Hospitals, outpatient clinics, rural health posts and other medical buildings in the DPR and LPR, as well as the Belgorod, Bryansk, Zaporozhye, Kursk, and Kherson regions, regularly come under fire from neo-Nazis.
🔸️We are not going to leave the above crimes unpunished. The perpetrators will be identified and held accountable to the full extent of the law.
Remind you of Gaza?? The same MO by similar imperial proxies, both commanded by the same USUK general staff…

⭕ #BRICS2024
🤝 On April 22-23, Moscow hosted a meeting of BRICS Sherpas/Sous-sherpas, chaired by Deputy Foreign Minister, Russia’s Sherpa in BRICS Sergey Ryabkov. The participants of the meeting discussed current issues on the agenda of the Russian year in BRICS, including the implementation of decisions adopted at the Johannesburg Summit on August 22-24, 2023.
🔸️Russia’s representatives also informed the participants regarding the ongoing preparations for the upcoming BRICS Foreign Ministers’ Meeting, scheduled to take place in Nizhny Novgorod on June 10-11, 2024.
This upcoming June meeting is of UTMOST importance, setting the agenda for the October Summit of Heads of State. Organizing current and aspirant members is like herding cats. With the overt Imperial war on BRICS, this is an additional reason May is expected to be red-hot against Russia/BRICS, in order to lower the needed security climate to focus on planning the fair multipolar future.

💠 @Strategika51:
⭕ All of a sudden, AIPAC, the Jewish Anti-Defamation League, Netanyahu and the entire global Zionist movement are alarmed by what is currently happening on the campuses of some US universities.
🔸️“Anti-Semitic mobs have invaded major US universities. We are seeing this exponential rise in anti-Semitism throughout America and Western societies, as Israel attempts to defend itself against terrorist genocide.”
Statement by Netanyahu, Israeli Prime Minister.
🔸️What is both remarkable and paradoxical is that the noisy anti-Zionism that was widespread in the countries of the so-called Global South and even some former Eastern Bloc countries during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s, has now spread to America and deserted its former territories.
🔸️The global Zionist movement attributes this “rise in anti-Semitism” in America to the Chinese social network Tik Tok and consequently wants to ban it, but the phenomenon is far more complex and is reported in unprecedented degrees having broken all historical records in Japan, China, both Koreas, Thailand, Cambodia, Vietnam, Central Asia, South America and Africa.
