Russian operation in Ukraine contributes to freeing world from Western oppression – Lavrov
TASS – 30 Apr 2022
It is obvious that the collective West’ attempts to hinder the natural course of history, to solve its problems at the expense of others are doomed, the minister said
MOSCOW, April 30. /TASS/. Russia’s special military operation in Ukraine is contributing to liberating the world from Western neocolonial oppression, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said in an interview with the Xinhua news agency.
As Lavrov noted, today we are talking not about a new Cold War, but about “the persistent desire of Washington and its satellites, who think of themselves as ‘masters of human destiny,’ to impose an American-centric model of the world order.”
“It has gotten to the point where a Western minority is trying to replace the UN-centric architecture and international law formed as a result of World War II with its own ‘rules-based’ order.
Washington and its allies write these very rules themselves and then impose them on the international community as obligatory for implementation”, the Russian foreign minister continued.

The Schrödinger Euros
Tyler Durden – Saturday, Apr 30, 2022
What ? Payment in Rubles ?? Unthinkable, don´t even mention the word say EU officials and authorities.
Instead, Europe has formally demanded to pay for Russian imports with Schrödinger euros as explained below.
So it´s high time for psychiatrists to step in as the livelihood of 800 million Europeans depends on whatever this incredible set of un-elected delusional EU leaders decide. Let´s get this straight folks: the EU does not want to pay in Rubles – or gold — because it is playing cutie by pretending to “pay” for Russian imports for free.

Ukrainian strike on Donetsk market was a terrorist act
RT – 30 Apr, 2022 – Eva Bartlett
When artillery hit a busy public space in Donetsk, it brought flashbacks of attacks in Gaza and Syria
If the Donetsk marketplace that was hit by rocket artillery on Thursday had been in a city controlled by Kiev, the names and faces of the five civilians killed would be on all major news sites. But because it was another Ukrainian attack on civilians in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR), the deaths and 23 additional civilians injured will almost certainly go unreported,

Russian Cyber Attacks Fail To Materialize After Biden Warned ‘It’s Coming’
Tyler Durden – Sunday, May 01, 2022
Authored by by Kyle Anzalone & Will Porter via The Libertarian Institute,
One month after President Joe Biden warned Americans to prepare for cyberattacks from Russia, a US official said that Washington still has yet to detect any.
The US Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) has assessed that Russia has not breached US systems, with agency head Jen Easterly saying the administration has “not seen attacks manifest here.”
Escobar: The Empire Of Lies, Operation Z, & The New Global Chessboard
Tyler Durden – Sunday, May 01, 2022
The only antidote to propaganda dementia is served by sparse voices of reason, which happen to be Russian, thus silenced and/or dismissed.
Especially since the onset of GWOT (Global War on Terror) at the start of the millennium, no one ever lost money betting against the toxic combo of hubris, arrogance and ignorance serially deployed by the Empire of Chaos and Lies.
What passes for “analysis” in the vast intellectual no-fly zone known as U.S. Think Tankland includes wishful thinking babble such as Beijing “believing” that Moscow would play a supporting role in the Chinese century just to see Russia, now, in the geopolitical driver’s seat.

Clash of Christianities: Why Europe cannot understand Russia
The Saker – May 01, 2022, Pepe Escobar
Western Europeans see the Orthodox and eastern Christians as satraps and a bunch of smugglers, while the Orthodox regard the Crusaders as barbarian usurpers bent on world conquest.
Under an ubiquitous, toxic atmosphere of cognitive dissonance drenched in Russophobia, it’s absolutely impossible to have a meaningful discussion on finer points of Russian history and culture across the NATO space – a phenomenon I’m experiencing back in Paris right now, fresh from a long stint in Istanbul.

Ukraine, Romania, Moldova … vs. Transnistria: A WW III Scenario
Brett Redmayne-Titley • April 28, 2022 • 4,700 Words
Modern road story; Palanca: (The Moldova/Ukraine Border.)
The tiny and peaceful nation of Moldova will soon be dragged into the Ukraine/Russia war. Historical and current geopolitical reasons are in play and being applied against Russia’s widening eastern front moving westwards. However, it is the southern Ukrainian region from Odessa to the Moldovan Transnistria that may trigger an escalation towards World War.

Odessa Massacre. What Started The War In Ukraine
SouthFront – 02.05.2022
Today is the anniversary of the tragedy in the city of Odessa. On May 2, 2014, people defending their right to speak Russian gathered near the Trade Union building in Odessa.
At that time, a large number of neo-Nazis from the Western and Central regions of Ukraine arrived in Odessa to prevent pro-Russian demonstrations in the Russian-speaking city. Ukrainian Nazis attacked peaceful protesters. The victims tried to hide in the Trade Union building before the police arrived.

Wob-documenten: Rijk wil grote hoeveelheden data surveilleren via cyberwaakhond NCSC

De epidemie werd aangegrepen om zorgdata te gaan surveilleren. Wetgeving moet het mogelijk maken om alle bedrijfs- en overheidsdata te centraliseren bij het Rijk, die dit zonder instemming kan delen.
Het ministerie van Justitie en Veiligheid wil dat het Nationaal Cyber Security Centrum (NCSC) de bevoegdheid krijgt om dreigingsinformatie breder te delen dan alleen met vitale organisaties en de Rijksoverheid. Een wetsvoorstel moet dit mogelijk maken. Wob-documenten laten zien dat de epidemie door het Rijk is aangegrepen voor meer digitale surveillance. De wet maakt het mogelijk om enorme hoeveelheden data onder centraal toezicht te stellen van het Rijk. Uit onderzoek blijkt dat de wet in strijd is met de AVG.

Wob-documenten: Rijk wilde niets weten van vroegbehandeling met hydroxychloroquine
Daniël van der Tuin – May 2
Ondanks goede resultaten met vroegbehandeling van coronapatiënten deed het Rijk het medicijn in de ban. Onderzoek werd tegengewerkt en artsen werden aangepakt, onder toeziend oog van het kabinet.
Verschillende artsen kwamen tijdens de epidemie met een baanbrekende hydroxychloroquine therapie die gericht was op vroegtijdige behandeling van coronapatiënten. De autoriteiten gingen het gebruik hierna direct sanctioneren met boetes die opliepen tot 150.000 euro. Ministers bemoeiden zich persoonlijk met het aanpakken van huisartsen, terwijl representatief onderzoek naar de behandelmethode door het kabinet werd tegengewerkt. Dit beeld komt naar voren uit onderzoek in wob-documenten.

Klaus Schwab’s Daughter Wants Governments to use COVID Policies for Climate Change
HAF – May 1, 2022
Nicole Schwab, the daughter of World Economic Forum founder Klaus Schwab and current WEF Co-Director of the Platform to Accelerate Nature-Based Solutions, wants governments to take advantage of COVID infrastructure and policies to fight climate change.
“Clearly, the system… is not sustainable,” began Nicole Schwab, speaking at an InTent roundtable. “So, I see it as a tremendous opportunity to really have this Great Reset and to use these huge flows of money, to use the increased levers that policymakers have today in a way that was not possible before to create a change that is not incremental, but that we can look back and we can say, ‘This is the moment where we really started to position nature at the core of the economy.’”

Statement of the Joint Coordination Headquarters for Humanitarian Response in Ukraine
MOD Russian Federation – 03.05.2022
….Additionally, in Kharkov, fighters of the territorial defence battalions, together with officers of the SSU, conduct raids to identify local residents who express pro-Russian views or condemn the current Ukrainian authorities.
Citizens whose phones contain such correspondence and calls to Russian numbers are detained and taken to an unknown location. Dozens of detainees have not returned home to date.
According to reliable data, similar large-scale raids have previously been conducted in Nikolaev, Sumy, Chernigov and a number of other settlements.
Neo-Nazi’s
These and other cynical atrocities by neo-Nazis are direct proof of their inhuman cruelty towards civilians.
At the same time, it is completely incomprehensible that Western countries pay no attention to the numerous war crimes committed by the Kiev regime against both residents of the Donetsk and Lugansk people’s republics and Ukrainian citizens in Kiev-controlled territories.
The “civilised West”, applying a policy of “double standards”, is totally uninterested in conducting an impartial investigation and finding those responsible and often simply “turns a blind eye” to numerous violations of international conventions by the Ukrainian side, or shifts the blame onto the Russian Federation without evidence.

Your Face Is Now A Weapon Of War
Tyler Durden – Wednesday, May 04, 2022
Authored by Stephanie Hare via National Interest,
Ukraine is using Clearview AI’s facial recognition technology to identify Russians, dead and alive, drawing on a database of billions of face images that it scraped from the internet without anyone’s consent.
Who owns your face? You might think that you do, but consider that Clearview AI, an American company that sells facial recognition technology, has amassed a database of ten billion images since 2020. By the end of the year, it plans to have scraped 100 billion facial images from the internet. It is difficult to assess the company’s claims, but if we take Clearview AI at face value, it has enough data to identify almost everyone on earth and end privacy and anonymity everywhere.

In the last week or so, the online payment platform PayPal without explanation suspended the accounts of a series of individual journalists and media outlets, including the well-known alt sites Consortium and MintPress.
Unlike many on the list, Consortium editor Joe Lauria succeeded in reaching a human being at the company in search of details about the frozen or “held” funds referenced in the note. The PayPal rep told him that if the company decided “there was a violation” after a half-year review period, then “it is possible” PayPal would keep the $9,348.14 remaining in Consortium’s account, as “damages.”
“A secretive process in which they could award themselves damages, not by a judge or a jury,” Lauria says. “Totally in secret.”
Consortium, founded by the late investigative reporter Robert Parry, has been critical of NATO and the Pentagon and a consistent source of skeptical reporting about Russiagate,

Biden’s Dangerous New Ukraine Endgame: No Endgame – Foreign Policy
SouthFront – 04.05.2022
From SF: The SouthFront team was surprised and at the same time we were encouraged by the fact that the world’s leading outlet specialized on international relations, such as Foreign Policy, finally allowed itself to describe a rather obvious situation, facts that have already become our reality. The threat of the impending World War III, instigated by the bloody foreign policy of the Washington establishment, has already been described by almost all independent observers.
Now it’s the turn of the leading American magazine to face the truth, which is frightening. Today, global developments are out of the control of any individual, including the most powerful world leaders, and the risks of global war are higher than ever. Thus, it is simply impossible to hide the facts to someone who considers himself at least some kind of objective observer.

- Wear out the Russian armed forces in a war with well-trained and directly controlled by the Pentagon fighters of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, “stitched” by the Nazis with a vertical of officers appointed by the US and British special services. Turn the population of Ukraine into zombies infected with Russophobia. At the same time, incite the international community against Russia, making accusations of war crimes and genocide against its leadership. On this basis, confiscate Russia’s foreign currency assets and impose total sanctions against it, causing the maximum possible damage. This stage is actually completed.

According to a report from The New York Times citing unnamed senior US officials, intelligence provided by the US on Russian military units has helped Ukraine target and kill Russian generals.
Ukraine has claimed to have killed 12 Russian generals, but the number is not confirmed, and Kyiv has an interest in exaggerating its success on the battlefield. The officials wouldn’t specify how many Russian officers were killed as a result of the assistance. But either way, the claim by US officials that they are helping kill Russian generals is a major provocation toward Moscow.

The Long, Lucrative & Bloody Road To World War 3
Tyler Durden – Thursday, May 05, 2022
Authored by Connor Freeman via The Libertarian Institute,
Well, this war in Ukraine will last “months and years.” At least, that is what the leaders of the D.C. foreign policy blob, the media, President Joe Biden’s men, Pentagon and NATO leadership have decided. Their plan is to pour oil on the flames and keep the fire raging. Also, Americans are going to have to cough up the dough for another massive aid package, with $20 billion worth of weapons to keep the blood flowing. In total, this next package will cost the taxpayer $33 billion. With Biden’s proposed $813 billion “defense” budget for 2023, the U.S. is spending more on the military and war now than ever before in the country’s history.

EU sanctions against Russia’s energy sector are red line for Hungary — Prime Minister

VIENNA, May 6. /TASS/. European Union (EU) sanctions against Russia’s energy sector are a red line for Hungary, the country’s Prime Minister Viktor Orban told the Kossuth radio station on Friday.
“I was ready to agree with the first five packages of [EU] sanctions, but I made it clear from the beginning that there is a red line: the energy sector,” he said, stressing that Budapest would not support a ban on Russian energy supplies.
He also stated that the sanctions already imposed by the European Union are more detrimental to the European economy than to the Russian economy.

Lavrov says racism Russians face in Western countries gets ‘absurd’
TASS – 6 May 2022
MOSCOW, May 6. /TASS/. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov on Friday said racism and discrimination against Russians in Western countries are getting absurd as a propaganda war is waged against Russia and its people.
“You can see what kind of a propaganda war is unleashed against the Russian Federation, against our people, against any Russian who finds himself in this or that European, Western or other country,” the minister said at a flower laying ceremony at a memorial board of Foreign Ministry veterans. “And, of course, in this manifestation of outright racism, this is essentially another form of discrimination, which is now brought to the point of absurdity, brought to such an extent that they begin to instill hatred at the personal level for everything that is connected in one way or another with the Russian Federation. You can see it yourselves.”

Polish President Declared “Erasure Of Borders” With Ukraine, Preparing For War With Russia
SouthFront – 06.05.2022
President Andrzej Duda has announced the common future for Poland and Ukraine, calling it not an occupation, but “the erasure of borders.”

However, the Polish president did not explain what exactly is meant by the elimination of borders.
Poland Unwisely Escalates Ukraine War Toward WW3…But Why?
Jim W. Dean, Managing Editor – May 6, 2022
Editor’s Note: With this news, we see the continuing slow creeping by the West toward WW3. It does not take a genius to see through NATO’s thinly veiled attempt of pretending NATO had not been attacked and hence it has nothing to retaliate for.
So what it is doing moving a tripwire into Western Ukraine to recreate conditions for NATO troop deaths from Russian strikes on the movement of NATO weapons to Zelensky, the acting president of the oligarch controlled country that shelled its Russian speaking citizens in the Donbas region for 8 years with 14,000 killed, to prompt Russia coming to their rescue so that the narrative can fit the invasion story.
Can anyone at VT remember a time when the US moved into a country on a rescue mission, where it was deemed by American media as an ‘invasion’? I can’t, but I am getting old.

Megalopolis x Russia: Total War
The Saker – May 07, 2022 – Pepe Escobar
Operation Z is the first salvo of a titanic struggle: three decades after the fall of the USSR, and 77 years after the end of WWII, after careful evaluation, the Kremlin is rearranging the geopolitical chessboard to end the unipolar hegemony of the “indispensable nation”. No wonder the Empire of Lies has gone completely berserk, obsessed in completely expelling Russia from the West-centric system.
The U.S. and its NATO puppies cannot possibly come to grips with their perplexity when faced with a staggering loss: no more entitlement allowing exclusive geopolitical use of force to perpetuate “our values”. No more Full Spectrum Dominance.

EU Gas Futures Jump As Ukraine Set To Halt Russian Flows At Key Entry Point
Tyler Durden – Tuesday, May 10, 2022
Benchmark European natural gas futures jumped as much as 8% Tuesday after it was reported natgas flows into Ukraine at one key entry point from Russia would be halted. There are only two entry points, which means all natgas would be diverted to the second entry point.
Ukraine’s Gas Transmission System Operator said it would no longer accept Russian gas transit via Sokhranivka beginning at 0700 local time on Wednesday. Mainly because it “repeatedly informed Gazprom about threats of transit due to the actions of the Russian-controlled occupation forces and demanded an end to interference in the operation of the facilities, but these appeals were ignored.”
SNN zwichtte voor druk ministerie met subsidiedebacle tot gevolg

Dat blijkt uit een interne evaluatie van het Samenwerkingsverband Noord-Nederland (SNN). SNN wijst daarin vooral het ministerie van Binnenlandse Zaken aan als verantwoordelijke voor het debacle. SNN zegt over zichzelf niet scherp en kritisch genoeg te zijn geweest. Bovendien was de gebruikte software niet op orde.

Lord Malloch Brown and Soros: The British Hand Behind the US Coup Revealed

This week, I took the time to watch a new documentary produced by Dinesh D’Souza titled ‘2000 Mules’ which utilizes voluminous geotracking and video evidence to demonstrate conclusively the scope of the fraud which occured in November 2020 which saw the elections stolen from US President Trump.
The documentary focuses on a quantitative analysis of the data, but avoids speculating on those causal agencies that would have the means, intent and power to put such a coup d’etat into effect. This was the right decision, as D’Souza’s purpose was to conclusively demonstrate the scope of the fraud, not venture into ‘why’ it happened, or who dunnit.

Europe May Face LNG Crisis This Winter
Tyler Durden – Wednesday, May 11, 2022
- Rush to wean off Russian gas has made European consumers highly vulnerable to LNG price shocks.
- Global LNG demand outstrips supply in 2022.
- New LNG projects are unlikely to provide relief until 2024.
A liquified natural gas (LNG) crisis is brewing for European countries dealing with energy insecurity in the wake of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, as demand will outstrip supply by the end of this year, Rystad Energy research shows. Although soaring demand has spurred the greatest rush of new LNG projects worldwide in more than a decade, construction timelines mean material relief is unlikely only after 2024.

Moments ago, one of the most powerful people in Europe – former Goldman partner and ECB head – Mario Draghi, confirmed just that.

The Queen’s Speech was interesting this year.
But the part I found most interesting is the stated plan to “encourage agricultural and scientific innovation at home” via the proposed Genetic Technology (Precision Breeding) Bill.
The proposed bill (which, for some reason is not available through the parliament website) follows on from DEFRA’s announced “loosened regulation” of genetic research back in January.
To quote the National Institute of Agricultural Botany (NIAB), the legislation would “take certain precision breeding techniques out of the scope of restrictive GMO rules”.

Authored by Marie Hawthorne via The Organic Prepper blog,
In 2013, President Obama awarded $100 million in grant money to launch the BRAIN (Brain Research through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies) Initiative. This program conducts neurotechnological research in the name of treating various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer’s, epilepsy, and brain injuries.
By 2016, the BRAIN Initiative was supported by multiple federal agencies and dozens of partners in the academic and private sectors. Some of the research sounds fascinating.

Lighting The Gas Under European Feet: How Politicians & Journalists Get Energy So Wrong
Tyler Durden – Thursday, May 12, 2022
Authored by Joakim Book via The Mises Institute,
“We live in a time where few understand how things get made. It is fine to not know where stuff comes from, but it isn’t fine to not know where stuff comes from while dictating to the rest of us how the economy should be run.”
– Doomberg
Eighty-five percent of human energy usage comes from burning things. Either plants or trees grown in a geologically recent past or plants or trees (and decomposed animals) from ancient times. Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, etc.—all the things that occupy a climate-conscious citizen, activist, or politician’s dreams—are frizzles around the edges.
US deliberately turns situation ‘upside down,’ blaming Russia for food crisis, envoy says
TASS – 12 May 2022
The Russian diplomat emphasized that “Washington stubbornly refuses to take responsibility for its foreign economic faults”
WASHINGTON, May 12. /TASS/. The United States deliberately turns the situation “upside down” when claiming that the food supply crisis is caused by Russia’s actions in the waters of the Black and Azov Seas, Russian Ambassador to Washington Anatoly Antonov told journalists.
“The United States is deliberately presenting the situation ‘upside down.’ The Kiev authorities are mining the port waters, preventing ships from delivering provisions and other goods to other states. At the same time, our efforts to coordinate the opening of humanitarian corridors continue to be ignored,” the Russian Embassy’s Telegram channel quoted him as saying.

Briefing: analysis of documents related to the military biological activities of the United States on the territory of Ukraine May 11, 2022
The Saker – May 11, 2022
- Summary from the Russian Mod telegram channel
Ideologues of US military-biological activities in Ukraine are the leaders of the Democratic Party.
▫️Thus, through the US executive branch, a legislative framework for funding military biomedical research directly from the federal budget was formed. Funds were raised under state guarantees from NGOs controlled by the Democratic Party leadership, including the investment funds of the Clintons, Rockefellers, Soros and Biden.
▫️The scheme involves major pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, Moderna, Merck and the US military-affiliated company Gilead. U.S. experts are working to test new medicines that circumvent international safety standards. As a result, Western companies are seriously reducing the cost of research programmes and gaining a significant competitive advantage.

West ready to sacrifice rest of the world for global domination, Putin says
TASS – 12 May 2022
The Russian leader noted that a number of countries were already encountering the threats of hunger and if the sanctions against Russia continued, the EU could also encounter consequences which would be difficult to reverse
MOSCOW, May 12. /TASS/. The culpability for the global consequences of sanctions against Russia, including possible hunger in a number of countries, rests with Western countries who for the sake of their domination are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a meeting on economic issues on Thursday.
He noted that a number of countries are already encountering the threats of hunger and if the sanctions against Russia continue, the EU may also encounter consequences which would be difficult to reverse. “The blame for this entirely and completely rests with the elites of the Western countries who for the sake of preserving their global domination are ready to sacrifice the rest of the world,” the Russian leader stated.

EFF roept Android- en iOS-gebruikers op om advertentie-ID uit te schakelen
Security.nl – vrijdag 13 mei 2022
De Amerikaanse burgerrechtenbeweging EFF roept eigenaren van een Androidtelefoon of iPhone op om het advertentie-ID op hun toestel uit te schakelen. Dit maakt het lastiger voor adverteerders en datahandelaren om gebruikers te volgen en profileren en beperkt de hoeveelheid persoonlijke informatie die deze partijen over gebruikers kunnen verkopen, aldus de EFF. ( https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2022/05/how-disable-ad-id-tracking-ios-and-android-and-why-you-should-do-it-now )
Het advertentie-ID is een unieke identificatiecode voor de telefoon, tablet of ander smart device waarmee bedrijven gebruikers kunnen volgen. Dat is de enige reden waarom deze identifier is ontwikkeld, zo laat de EFF weten. Third-party trackers kunnen via de apps die gebruikers op hun toestel hebben staan allerlei data verzamelen. Het advertentie-ID maakt het mogelijk om data uit verschillende bronnen aan één identiteit te koppelen.

Ukraine Says $8.3BN Spent On War So Far As Zelensky Addresses Davos WEF
Tyler Durden – Friday, May 13, 2022
Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky is set to deliver a virtual address before the Davos, Switzerland based World Economic Forum, where the message is expected to be something along the lines of ‘send more money, or see the global food crisis worsen’ – which is also a theme of US Congressional leaders as they seek to push through the record-breaking $40 billion Ukraine aid package. This as a fresh US forecast expects that wheat production in the war-ravaged country will fall by one-third compared to last year.

The Real Reason Behind The EU’s Drive To Embargo Russian Oil
Tyler Durden – Saturday, May 14, 2022
Authored by Tom Luongo via Gold, Goats, ’n Guns blog,
This week the European Union is expected to announce a complete import ban on Russian oil. Hungary, in its first real act of defiance, is threatening to veto this; Germany, after some hemming and hawing, has finally decided it can survive such a ban.
Assuming Hungary’s objections are eventually overcome, at first blush this looks like yet another energy “own goal” by the people obsessed with soccer. The U.S. has already issued this ban.
Because European industry is heavily dependent on Russian oil and gas, the conventional wisdom is that the EU Commission is just petulant and incompetent. Are they?
These are warnings not to our politicians, but to us. This is where things lead.

“You’ve Been Flagged As A Threat”: Predictive AI Technology Puts A Target On Your Back
Tyler Durden – Saturday, May 14, 2022
Authored by John W. Whitehead & Nisha Whitehead via The Rutherford Institute,
“The government solution to a problem is usually as bad as the problem and very often makes the problem worse.”
– Milton Friedman
You’ve been flagged as a threat.
Before long, every household in America will be similarly flagged and assigned a threat score.
Without having ever knowingly committed a crime or been convicted of one, you and your fellow citizens have likely been assessed for behaviors the government might consider devious, dangerous or concerning; assigned a threat score based on your associations, activities and viewpoints; and catalogued in a government database according to how you should be approached by police and other government agencies based on your particular threat level.
Persbericht: Volkskrant-journalist gooit gegevens Daniël van der Tuin op straat
Daniël van der Tuin – May 10 2022
Naar aanleiding van de publiciteit voor een reconstructie van het thema hydroxychloroquine, heeft medisch journalist Aliëtte Jonkers diverse gegevens van Daniël van der Tuin via Twitter en LinkedIn bekend gemaakt. Dit ging gepaard met ongefundeerde verdachtmakingen en framing. Een wetenschapsjournalist van de Volkskrant beschuldigde het onderzoeksteam tegelijkertijd van fraude. Van der Tuin en coauteur Van den Bos konden echter eenvoudig aantonen dat hiervan geen sprake was.

Sitrep Operation Z: Two very bad days for the Ukraine & The Big Refuse
The Saker – May 14, 2022
For the Saker Blog by Saker Staff
This is too good not to be credited to Brian Berletic:
The United States (and small collective west) is refusing to choose the option that makes sense. This option is coexistence with the rest of the world. Their objective of maintaining primacy over the rest of the world is no longer attainable.
The Big Refuse is of course Lloyd Austin demanding that Russia cease fire. Yeah, NO! See Gonazalo Lira here: http://thesaker.is/gonzalo-lira-why-did-lloyd-austin-call-sergei-shoigu/
