KeymasterScrewed up ..
KeymasterI need another US type as litmus test. I’m done with Scott Ritter. As Smoothie says, listen attentively, and you will find what is in that man’s heart. It is fine to kill civilians if you go back later and ….. He forgets that Russia is reaching the end of an SMO, which, according to Putin, is just about a done deal without killing civilians. Scott normalizes this, as he wants to normalize that Iran should bow before the US. He also does not understand the JPCOA and leaves out the various times that Iran announced that they are changing because the US and the Europeans are not doing their part. This is but short … https://www.sharghdaily.com/Section-politics-6/983511-russia-wants-the-revival-of-jcpoa-calls-the-demand-for-new-iran-deal-impossible
KeymasterThis man has verbal diarrhea.
It is hilarious.
TRUMP: 'I WILL BE KNOWN AS THE FERTILIZATION PRESIDENT'

KeymasterLooks like Trump has in his way, confirmed the Yemen leak, saying: Signal chat leak is something ‘simple that can happen’
KeymasterThere is a sizable effort going on, from Vietnamese as well as from Chinese, to rip the false values away from the Scott Ritters of our world. It is wild and it is serious. They are on different threads and this is becoming a movement.
No, it is not only Scott that they want to batter (the term is ream a new asshole, I learned in the US) – behind this is a strong and grassroots belief that the US will not this time get away from its excesses, by pretending peace to the Russians .. like it did in the previous years. As soon as a little time opens up, I’ll copy these and make a post. This is something that we need to give attention to. It is a different resistance from a different societal group.
KeymasterYes today was unbearable. I’ve tried to update on the sticky as well.
KeymasterOK, I can do it, but first a few questions and comments.
Michael Hudson knows Sergey Glazyev or has dealt with him. Michael is not impressed for many reasons, but that is not my story to tell. I have a problem with Glazyev because of his continual hatred of the Russian Central Bank, specifically Nabiulina. This is why he was sidelined, whereas his initial job that Putin gave him, was to create the foundations of an alternative currency. This was some years ago when Putin reformed the constitution and the Russian government. This was the first time that we learned about an alternative currency. I’ve written criticism on Glazyev before, in terms of much writing and little real work. He just has not delivered. So, he is very sidelined and is almost certainly not a real member of the siloviki or the rest of the Russian elite.
I don’t find this on his site, Glazyev.ru so did not find any links. What I am looking for is the …program “Social Justice and Economic Growth,” which he says “we have developed” and which has been approved by the Russian Economic Forum.. I cannot find the program, or the Russian Economic Forum. I believe it is probably somewhere out of SPIEF, but with no links, I find nothing. So I would like to read that program before saying anything.
Then, there is this bit of weirdness where he talks about an Israeli enclave on the right Bank of the Dnieper. “Some informed experts suspect this clan of intending to build a “New Jerusalem” on the right bank of the Dnieper, the foundation for which has already been laid in Dnipropetrovsk. 65/84
From there to Odesa stretch fertile lands that could accommodate millions of refugees from Israel in the event of an escalation of the perpetual conflict in the Middle East. 66/84
Zelensky has already cleared this territory of its male population, sending them to the front as cannon fodder.”I’ve not heard about this and as far as I can see, Israel is carrying out their Greater Israel project (for as long as it will last!). So this is weird.
So then he talks about Europe and that is accurate as far as I can see.
Then he talks about the US doing a new currency (Cryptos) incase the Dollar goes poof. We know that the Trump admin is doing a crypto ..aargh, I forgot what they call it, but a Sovereign Wealth Fund – I think it is called. The Trump crypto and the Melania crypto that they floated of course fell to hell in value, and those were part of this sovereign wealth fund. Not to get too technical, a crypto needs to be used and in the form of a Sovereign Wealth Fund, it is only something that can be traded – like baseball cards or stockmarket. For Russia and the other BRICS, they use it to pay .. as it is designed .. an electronic cash. I don’t know what to say about the value of this Sovereign Wealth Fund. I also cannot figure out what exactly Glazyiev’s stance is. Perhaps translation or perhaps I must read again.
But the most important is the program .. program “Social Justice and Economic Growth”, and the Russian Economic Forum. If I can have those two, I can understand this work better. I do agree, it has to be unpacked a bit.
KeymasterThe most amazing part of that speech was that he gave it just before the phone call between himself and Trump. What I also cannot understand is that the Americans still think they can make sanctions relief a part of Ukraine negotiations. It is as if they are willfully deaf. They put sanctions, and then they want something to remove them. These people are very strange.
KeymasterI’m glad you posted Sony Thang. There are a few Vietnamese and a few Chinese that are closing Ritter’s marine mouth for him.
KeymasterDark horse or black swan territory .. I am not ready to throw it away. I’m not talking civil war (that is farfetched) but not throwing away the idea that Netanyahu could find himself with a newly implanted prostate lol.
KeymasterThis is good news:
The president of Burkina Faso, Ibrahim Traore – who is a Muslim – has reportedly declined an offer from Saudi Arabia to build 200 mosques in his country, according to African Hub.
Instead, Traore suggested that Saudi Arabia invest in schools, hospitals, or businesses that would create jobs for the Burkinabe people.
Saudi funded mosques are usually associated with the Wahhabi strand of Islam, the ideology of many extremist and Takfiri groups that have been used to destabilize countries.
In 2009, then Secretary of State Hilary Clinton testified before a Congressional subcommittee on how the US brought militants from Saudi Arabia, “importing their Wahhabi brand of Islam,” to fight the Soviets in Afghanistan.
President Trump accused the Obama Administration of being the “founders” of ISIS. In a 2014 lecture to Harvard students on foreign policy, VP Joe Biden explained how US allies – including Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and Turkey – used terrorist groups like Al-Qaeda to overthrow the Assad government in Syria.
KeymasterGeneral comment .. Godfree is still focused on China. His book is still the best book for a starter on China. There are two main (and not the only) people during the Saker times that I very specifically “made famous”. Godfree was one. He started his newsletter and I promoted it! It was unique at the time. As time went along, I added some geopolitical content and he soon followed and some of my content ended up in his newsletter. It was, to my mind, a wonderful collab and I am thankful and grateful up to to today about that. Godfree was also one of the first members of the China Writer’s Group and we had a good time, although I was quiet. I had studied China for a stack of years before then because I also wanted to know what the ‘China Miracle’ was all about. But, I was hesitant to say too much, as I felt I did not know too much. But really, I did know some stuff then, and it was up to Jeff J Brown and, to a smaller extent, Patrice Greanville, to encourage me and mainly Jeff, but Patrice, as well, encouraged me. Again, I am grateful to those people.
At the time, The Saker allowed me one short China article per week, and complained bitterly about Godfree’s name. Free of God eh .. it did not go down too well. Sometimes, I pushed that limit with then current geopolitical content.
Things always change. Substack became a thing and Godfree saw the gap and went for it. He started with longer and very good China content, and soon became Substack famous … More or less similar to The Saker from 2014 onwards when nobody knew anything about the Ukraine, and he filled the knowledge gaps.
But being famous comes with a cudgel. If you want to remain one of the top Substack writers, you need to write what the readers want. The time when I could marvel at the Great Elephant Walk and how the Chinese folks just loved this, and became one with this Walk, and cared for their elephants, until the elephants went back of their own volition, to their area. It seems that wonderful human and elephant time is over. https://www.reddit.com/r/interestingasfuck/comments/nvkwwg/a_wild_herd_of_wandering_elephants_takes_a_rest/
Substack is a hard task master.
KeymasterWell, there is a whole other city underneath the Giza plateau.

KeymasterI wonder why, specifically Mars? Tianwen-1 from China and its rover also spent a year there.
https://www.space.com/the-universe/mars/ancient-beach-on-mars-discovered-by-chinas-zhurong-mars-rover-this-strengthens-the-case-for-past-habitabilityKeymasterI don’t want to knock the enthusiasm. But, it is better to be realistic. Some of these channels are simply there for clicks and will tell anything to get those clicks. There is no footage, because it is just starting. The video itself uses stock photography and most of the people don’t even look like local people.
The 55 ‘ultra modern hospitals’ are actually something in the 30s. They are not hospitals but more rural type health clinics. To make up the number, there are a few specialist clinics and a number of mobile rural clinics on wheels.
Whatsover, this is a wonderful initiative. There is one very big hospital which is a teaching hospital, and that was built and is still being developed built with Chinese investment, and Chinese teaching.
So this is somewhat like the free energy vehicles out of Zimbabwe, which is just not accurate (refer Mr.P).
