David Brinkley, the legendary American newscaster with a career that spanned an amazing fifty-four years from World War II once said that a successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him. How many American statesmen ever practised this noble thought inherited from Jesus Christ remains doubtful.

The reorientation of the member states of the European Union
It’s about much more than just the fact that the Russian army has positioned itself against the Ukrainian military. The Prussian General Carl von Clausewitz said: „War is the continuation of politics by other means“. Politically, this war is about the reasons for Russia’s „special operation“. The West was not ready to hold serious talks with the Kremlin about the origins and development of the conflict. Putin’s hand was rejected. The consequences for Europe and the USA will be dramatic. Russia will win this meta-political and earthly war. The West is slowly beginning to realize this reality.
German politicians and journalists have lost total control over what they say and write and how they act.
A morally and politically tarnished belligerent U.S. president who, properly understood, indirectly threatens another head of state, this one also no beacon of personal integrity, with assassination (see video below). A millionaire Ukrainian president with a special close relationship to a billionaire oligarch close to organized crime, according to Swiss sources. The Klitschko brothers are also accused of being particularly close to Ukrainian mafiosi. Elsewhere, for example in Western Europe, all noble pearls?
Into your own flesh
Germany is running in the wrong direction. It’s no use increasing the speed and determination with which this happens. Our government is practicing the complete opposite of a win-win strategy in the Ukraine crisis. The losers are the German citizens who, in order to “annoy Putin”, will have to contend with the increased cost of living. The losers are probably the Ukrainians, whose war is dragging on with German help. The environment is also a loser, when even green politicians, in their stubbornness, still prefer coal and fracking gas to energy from the „evil empire“. At best, the winner is Russia itself, which has been swimming in money since it has been selling its gas to anyone other than the capricious Europeans. Although the victims of the war in Ukraine are regrettable, Putin is certainly not a moral luminary – but the Ukrainian leadership does not deserve the loyalty of the Germans to the Nibelungen. We must now reverse gear in the impasse and finally head for a negotiated solution that is suitable for reality.
Ukrainian parliament bans pro-Russian parties and Russian music
On June 19, 2022, the Ukrainian parliament (Verkhovna Rada) decided to ban pro-Russian parties and Russian music. The laws are effective immediately. Guest appearances for artists with Russian citizenship were also banned. Artists who publicly condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine are allowed to enter Ukraine and perform.
Empire of lies – Statement by Konstantin Gavrilov, head of the Russian Federation delegation
Amid the catastrophic escalation of tensions in Donbass, deliberately provoked by the nationalist regime in Kyiv, Ukraine’s Western rulers are taking the liberty of playing with fire and demanding the transfer of nuclear weapons to that country. These alarming signals are coming from Poland, a state that, despite speaking about an unacceptable dialogue with the Russian Federation, has begun actively taking control of Ukrainian territory.
Ukraine – The rats are leaving the sinking ship
What state must a country be in if its highest representatives not only stash away huge sums in foreign accounts, but also have passports from foreign countries? How can one then assume that they exercise unconditional loyalty to their state, if at all? One of the root evils for the probity of politicians are countries like Switzerland or Panama and other places where money can be stashed away and hidden. In this way, disloyal politicians can protect themselves if they are held accountable in their own country. They can flee abroad and live a luxurious retirement there with their ill-gotten gains and hidden wealth.
It’s war and everyone wants to go, except Trump.
Donald J. Trump had declared from the beginning of his presidency that he was no longer willing to participate in senseless wars and wanted to withdraw US soldiers from war zones. Without wanting to exaggerate, Trump is the most peaceful president who has ever ruled America and will rule again.
America’s establishment was not at all thrilled by this. As if by magic, they decided to prevent his re-election by any means necessary. The Western European allied nations, joined the campaigns against Trump, presenting the public with a chauvinist and sex-crazed Nazi. Trump must have been blindsided when he realized how closely connected the U.S. establishment is to the European one.
Germany has arrived in a frenzy and completely in irrationality.
There is a drawing of a Ukrainian artist dated March 1945. From the coffin of a Wehrmacht soldier crawls a snake in the Ukrainian national colors. The key message is that German fascism continues in Ukraine in the cult of Bandera. There is a clearly visible influence of fascism in Ukraine, which has become stronger and more dominant in recent years. In Germany, on the other hand, people vehemently deny that Ukraine is currently a de facto fascist state. Especially in left-liberal circles, people turn a blind eye to all the evidence that shows how far to the right Ukraine has become.
West vs. East: Dress rehearsal for a larger conflict?
Since Russia’s invasion of Ukraine exactly three months ago, the West has focused not on protecting Ukrainian civilians, but on trying to force Russia, with the help of the Ukrainians, to surrender militarily. The „real war in the background“, the economic war, however, is undoubtedly directed against its own populations. In passing, it is stated that NATO will not participate in the war. But it does. The weapons come from the West, only the soldiers from Ukraine and other states. Strictly speaking, the war could not take place at all if no weapons were supplied. Everyone can understand the logic, except those who don’t want to understand it because they pursue self-centered, power-political goals that serve them alone.
