NATO is the Nazi Arming and Training Organization.

In Operation Gladio, NATO recruited former Nazis to fight communists.

Nazi generals like Hans Speidel and Adolf Heusinger slaughtered civilians in the Holocaust, then became leaders of NATO (and capitalist West Germany's army)
NATO produced a f(l)ashy propaganda film honoring the Forest Brothers, Baltic fascists who voluntarily collaborated with Nazi Germany

The Nazi Arming and Training Org (NATO) portrayed these Nazi war criminals as anti-communist heroes for fighting the USSR

US and European leaders are preparing “painful” sanctions on Russia, which could include sabotaging Germany’s Nord Stream 2 pipeline & hitting Russian gas giant Gazprom

They're fueling the Ukraine crisis to justify the economic attack

via @Multipolarista
multipolarista.com/2022/02/20/wes…
The US has been desperate to stop Germany's Nord Stream 2 pipeline with Russia

Hawkish FM Baerbock, of the pro-war Greens, let the cat out of the bag:

“All options are on the table, including Nord Stream 2”

"We are prepared to pay a high economic price"
EU chief Ursula von der Leyen declared that "Everything is on the table" for sanctions, including Russia’s state-owned gas giant Gazprom, the largest company in the country

Supported by rich right-wing elites, so-called “trucker” protests (led by non-truckers and opposed by truckers' unions) have paralyzed the capitals of Brazil and Canada in less than six months.

@BrianMteleSUR and I showed how the cynical operation works:
multipolarista.com/2022/02/14/can…
The son of Brazil's far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, Eduardo -- a fascist extremist who called for bringing back tactics from the dictatorship, including suspending civil liberties to crush the left -- is openly supporting the rightwing convoy in Canada

The trucker convoy in Canada is so obviously a rightwing operation astroturfed by conservative billionaires. It's absurd seeing some "leftists" pretend otherwise

This is Texas' far-right attorney general, a corrupt Tea Party pet project who tried to help Trump steal the election
It's clear as day that the Canada trucker convoy is astroturfed by rightwing oligarchs. Trump is promoting it, and single rich donors were giving them $215,000, which is how it got $10 million in 2 weeks

It's similar to a billionaire-funded rally Bolsonaro recently did in Brazil Image
In September, Brazil's far-right leader Bolsonaro and ultra-rich allies organized an astroturfed rally, which they marketed as "grassroots"

Corporate oligarchs paid to send many buses to the rally. Trump aide Jason Miller was in Brazil helping organize it

Ukraine has had a US puppet government ever since a Western-backed 2014 coup

But even this puppet gov't has stressed there's no evidence Russia plans to invade

It's the US & UK pushing for war with Russia (Ukraine's economy is really suffering from this) multipolarista.com/2022/01/26/ukr…
Even the CIA roadies at CNN acknowledge the major tensions between Ukraine's puppet government and its US masters

The US keeps trying to start a war, but Ukraine admits Russia isn't planning to invade

The US wants Ukraine to commit suicide to hurt Russia
edition.cnn.com/2022/01/28/pol…
Ukrainian President Zelensky is a Western puppet, so now that he's contradicting his masters in Washington, don't be surprised if he is suddenly replaced

Zelensky reassured reporters, "There is a feeling abroad that there is war here. That's not the case"

There are major splits emerging within the NATO imperialist alliance

Germany blocked Estonia from sending arms to Ukraine

British planes took a long detour around Germany to send arms to Ukraine

Germany doesn't want war with Russia. Some NATO members do
wsj.com/articles/germa…
The US is pushing for a war with Russia over Ukraine, but its own NATO ally Germany (still occupied by thousands of US troops) doesn't want war.

US President Joe Biden asked to speak with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz... and he said no!

Serious divisions spiegel.de/international/…
One of the reasons the US is pushing so aggressively against Russia over Ukraine is it wants to keep Europe dependent on US energy

The US recently became the world’s #1 exporter of liquefied natural gas for the first time ever, thanks to exports to Europe

As the Covid-19 pandemic ripped through society, killing more than 854,000 people in the US, the government (of both Trump and Biden) abandoned its people

But the US gov't did make sure banks enjoyed "their best period since the 2007-09 financial crisis"
benjaminnorton.substack.com/p/as-millions-…
While more than 5.55 million people around the world died from Covid-19, the 10 richest capitalists on Earth doubled their wealth.

During the pandemic, the incomes of 99% of humanity decreased. But, billionaire oligarchs made $5 trillion
benjaminnorton.substack.com/p/as-millions-…
The 854,000 (and counting) Covid-19 deaths in the US were absolutely not inevitable

China's population is 4 times larger than the US', but has fewer than 5000 deaths

If China implemented the US' policies (or lack thereof) it would have 3.6 million deaths
