π§΅: NATO and arms industry-funded 'think tank' @cepa offers explanation for blackout on Kiev's counteroffensive among #NAFO and Western media - being honest about how catastrophically it's going so far risks ending Western backing for the proxy war.
.@cepa acknowledges 2022 counteroffensive successful because "Ukraine faced overstretched, severely undermanned Russian units." This was observed by several analysts at the time, but dismissed as cope by #NAFO et al. Only now media admitting positions were effectively abandoned.
Expectations for this counteroffensive not only high due to delusion and disinfo about last go around. Petraeus said it was "going to be very impressive". Perhaps covering for fact US was pressuring Kiev to go ahead with this, despite knowing the Ukrainians weren't ready.
CEPA paints bleak picture of frontline, acknowledging Kiev effectively trying to do the impossible - "conduct large-scale combined arms maneuver operations against a near-peer or peer adversary" without air cover. Also admit "Russia [has achieved] some of its original goals."
In sum @cepa effectively admitting what anti-war voices have consistently said - media (and pro-NATO 'think tanks') actively complicit in one way or another obscuring reality to keep this grinding on, and concealing proxy war's catastrophic human, material and financial cost.
CEPA of course has an obvious + massive vested interest in ensuring Western arms keep flowing into the conflict - ensuring profits of the numerous 'defense' contractors that fund it keep soaring. Why is the media helping them maintain the lie, do you think?
ADDENDUM: In 2016, CEPA published a report calling for individuals exposed to Russian "disinformation" to be subjected to the same "deradicalisation" measures as "former Islamic radicals and far-right extremists." Oddly, this has since been removed from the web.
π§΅: Huge. Due to mass public opposition to increased member defence spending 'agreed' at the NATO conference, Slovenia will now hold a referendum on NATO membership. This could have far-reaching consequences across the alliance.
Referendum only consultative (so results can be ignored), and accompanying campaign will inevitably be subject to intensive Anglo-American meddling. But it puts question of NATO membership on the table at a time many Europeans are questioning whether they want to be part of it.
It is forgotten/unknown that in many cases, enrolling countries in NATO has required intensive skullduggery. This is particularly the case in the former Yugoslavia, due to NATO's central role in its destruction. Slovenians have never been overly enthusiastic about the alliance.
π§΅: Fars reporting US bases are now in Iran's firing line. Vulnerability of America's military installations in West Asia was, I suspescted, a major deterrent to Israel striking Iran. Well, it wasn't, and now they may have fucked up big time.
In September 2024, the Jewish Institute for National Security of America, a powerful and shadowy Zionist lobby organisation, published an illuminating report on how most US bases in West Asia were within easy, rapid firing distance of Iranian missiles, and basically defenceless.
JINSA estimated it would take "five minutes or less for missiles launched from Iran" to hit America's West Asian bases. Any jets parked there are toast. And Iran's ability to "overwhelm" missile defence systems was "very real". We may be about to see this happen. Popcorn ready!
π§΅: So @SabriSun_Miller, a Zionist operative at The Daily Mail, is emailing bands due to perform at Glastonbury, inviting them to denounce @kneecapceol's Palestine solidarity, or boycott the festival outright due to the group performing. Let's dig into her sordid history...
.@SabriSun_Miller was a core component of a Zionist lobby effort to get @Tracking_Power fired from Bristol University on bogus allegations of antisemitism. They succeeded, despite multiple internal reviews clearing him of any wrongdoing whatsoever.
@SabriSun_Miller @Tracking_Power On top of publishing numerous libelous, false articles in the mainstream and student media about how Jewish students at Bristol felt unsafe due to @Tracking_Power teaching classes on Zionist propaganda, Sabrina also wrote an article advocating for legalising bestiality.
π§΅: There was no Russian invasion in 2014 and Ukraine's "NATO path" was agreed under Yushchenko (installed via NED coup in 2004), but a common Ultra talking point is there was no risk of Kiev joining because the public didn't support it. Let's dig into why this is irrelevant:
Montenegro joined NATO in 2017 despite overwhelming public and political opposition, following a CIA/MI6 false flag coup. In 2020, under a third of voters backed membership. Yet the Montenegrin government won't dare even discuss withdrawing.
Macedonia was forced into NATO in 2019 in the most corrupt manner imaginable, following an MI6/Soros/USAID coup, which required changing the country's name to "North Macedonia", opposed by over 80% of the population.
π§΅: FT has broken cover and reported police are investigating *possible* Russian involvement in arson attacks targeting Keir Starmer. However, the article is full of weird caveats and acknowledgements indicating there is zero evidence for this and the case is deeply mysterious...
Police say the Ukrainian trio "conspired" with "others unknown". It's not clarified how they've concluded this. Meanwhile, a prosecutor has said the "alleged" (!) conspiracy is currently "unexplained".
None of the suspects exhibited "any ideological affinity with Russia", with one even posting "celebratory images of Ukrainian soldiers". Where? Might they have posted anything else relevant to determining why they did this and who they were "conspiring" with? It's not clear...
π§΅: Having reflected a lot on Kosovo lately due to the anniversary of NATO's criminal bombing, I'm struck by what an anachronism the wannabe country is today. It is the most pro-US place on Earth and constantly building yet more statues of its imperial masters. In 2025.
Many European citizens, and their leaders, despite knowing they're ultimately beholden to and captured by the US, are increasingly sceptical about US global leadership and *thinking* about pulling away, even if they're so entangled it's basically impossible. But not Kosovo.
Visit Pristina today. You'll see US and British flags everywhere, countless streets and squares namessafter officials involved in the bombing, statues of Blair and Clinton, signs thanking NATO...there's a *bit* of this elsewhere in C/E Europe but nothing remotely near this scale.
