That Gothic & Lolita Bible vol. 1 drop literally unlocked core memories of me secretly sewing ruffled skirts in my room at 2 AM. Manon’s taste is immaculate, though honestly, trying to organize my own chaotic mood boards into something that aesthetic always ends up looking like a digital junk drawer. 🛋️

A software company running a weekly show that barely mentions the software is a bold call, and I think the right one. It earns trust with the exact people who pick tools for their team. Same reason the best brand newsletters are worth reading even if you never buy.

In attempts to understand zionist mindset, i discovered some EXTREMELY disturbing facts; Textbooks -Palestine - genocides, murders, perversion, rape, torture, hate, death to all but "Judaism." Part 1. Transcripts (some spelling errors) In every synagogue library, we find hundreds of books. But there are a few which tower above the rest in authority. These include the Encyclopedia Judaica, the Universal Jewish Encyclopedia. The Jewish Encyclopedia. In the oldest of these, the Jewish Encyclopedia. We encounter fascinating new perspectives on the inner teachings of Judaism and perspectives, which are well known to most religious Jews, but are (UNknown) to Christians. 00:01:50:05 - 00:02:17:24 Most Christians believe that the Judaism of the Old Testament is very similar to Judaism today. Yet the Jewish Encyclopedia and its article on Judaism says modern Judaism and the Judaism of the Old Testament are very different. It says that after Nebuchadnezzar conquered Judah in the sixth century B.C. and led the Jews to distant Babylon, the Jews were faced with challenges to their faith they had never before experienced. 00:02:17:26 - 00:02:45:08 Ever since the time of Solomon. The religion of Israel had centered around the magnificent temple in Jerusalem with its sacrifices and ritual. The question now became How could one be a true Jew in a very foreign, even hostile environment? The need arose for a certain class of lay priests called scribes or so for them to interpret the law in this new setting and make it workable. 00:02:45:10 - 00:03:11:26 In time, these scribes became what the New Testament calls the scribes and Pharisees the greatest legal authorities of Israel for all ages. The Pharisees said there were really two inspired revelations to the Jews. There was the written law of Moses received atop Sinai. But there was also the oral tradition acquired by 70 elders who came to the base of the mountain but were forbidden to proceed. 00:03:11:26 - 00:03:39:03 Father. The Pharisees said that these 70 elders or Sanhedrin received a much more extensive and profound revelation than Moses. A revelation which was never written down, yet took precedent over the written law. When Jesus came on the scene, his reaction was to bitterly denounce this counterfeit tradition. Raised, said the Pharisees, by their tradition, had made the law of God have none effect. 00:03:39:06 - 00:04:10:01 He considered the Pharisees the most dangerous leadership Israel ever had. In 70 A.D., Jerusalem was destroyed by the Romans. Although Jewish sects such as the Sadducees now disappeared. The Pharisees emerged with even greater power over the Jewish people. The Jewish Encyclopedia describes the new role of the Pharisees with the destruction of the temple. The Sadducees disappeared altogether, leaving the regulation of all Jewish affairs in the hands of the Pharisees. 00:04:10:04 - 00:04:39:01 Henceforth, Jewish life was regulated by the Pharisees. The whole history of Judaism was reconstructed from the very same point of view. Parasitism shaped the character of Judaism and the life and thought of the Jew for all of the future. In 135 A.D., all Jews were expelled from Palestine. The Pharisees led most Palestinian Jews in a mass migration back to Babylon. 00:04:39:03 - 00:05:05:15 The majority of Jews were already in Babylon and had been since the time of Nebuchadnezzar 600 years earlier. Yet around 140 A.D., Babylon became the acknowledged land of refuge for world jewelry. For another thousand years, Judaism flourished in Babylon under the leadership of the Pharisees, Great academies of the rabbis were established and thousands of new laws formulated there. 00:05:05:16 - 00:05:12:01 Those same parishes who killed Jesus Christ remain the undisputed rulers of Judaism. 00:05:12:03 - 00:05:45:02 In Babylon, the Pharisees codified their oral traditions into the Babylonian Talmud. The written form of that oral tradition which Jesus so bitterly rebuked the Talmud, reveals How deep was Israel's apostasy? In her beginning, God gave the Hebrews the loftiest, the most upright literature and ethics the world has ever known. Yet when they turned their backs on him, they produced the Talmud, a work which has aptly been called a monument to human folly. 00:05:45:04 - 00:05:52:01 The Talmud also helps us understand the basis for Christ's unflattering descriptions of the Pharisees. 00:05:52:04 - 00:06:23:06 Jesus described the Pharisees as hypocrites. Children of Hell Blind Guides. Why did Sepulcher was full of dead men's bones even describe the Pharisees as children of their father, The devil? A murderer. From the beginning, the Talmud confirms Christ's words in the Talmud. In treatise Sanhedrin and extensive passage describes the right of the Pharisee to kill anyone, just as long as he did so indirectly as one of dozens of examples. 00:06:23:09 - 00:06:50:05 The Talmud tells us that if one bound his neighbor and he died of starvation, he is not liable to execution in such an indirect manner. The Pharisees also killed Christ. Manipulating the Romans to actually wield the spear and sword the Pharisees claimed, as their descendants do today, that since the Romans worthy direct cause of the death of Christ, it is the Romans, not the Jews who are guilty. 00:06:50:07 - 00:07:18:25 Christ also called the Pharisees adulterers and adulterous generation. The Talmud provides generous loopholes for adultery. It says the penalty for adultery does not include sex with a minor. The wife of a minor or the wife of a heathen. The Talmud also encourages seduction of unwed adolescent girls called designated bond maids. But it's important how such rapes are performed with the designated bond made. 00:07:18:26 - 00:07:46:03 One is guilty only in the case of natural connection, but not in the case of perverse connection. The Pharisees reasoned that rape in a perverted manner is outside of the jurisdiction of the law. Normal rape, however, was punishable. In Babylon, sexual perversion of every kind had been a way of life for millenniums. The Pharisees were deeply influenced by such practices. 00:07:46:06 - 00:08:16:00 In three of the major treatises of the Talmud are found extensive passages which give legal endorsement to seduce and marry three year old baby girls. In fact, many of the greatest rabbis of the Talmud, including Simeon Ben Yo Hai, upheld this privilege. Today in Israel, thousands of Jews go to Iran every year to venerate the memory of Simeon Daniel High, one of the most respected rabbis in the history of Judaism. 00:08:16:02 - 00:08:37:09 In one of dozens of endorsements of child sex, Simeon Ben YOHE said a process of light under the age of three years and a day is permitted to marry a priest. Agreeing with Ben YOHE, the great robber, said When a grown up man has intercourse with a little girl, it is nothing for when the girl is less than this three years and a day. 00:08:37:12 - 00:09:02:00 It is as if one put the finger into the eye. The footnote to this passage says, as tears come to the eye again and again. So does virginity come back to the little girl under three years? The same section confirms that sexual activity with small boys is in the same category. The intercourse of a small boy is not regarded as a sexual act. 00:09:02:03 - 00:09:25:21 In addition to adulterers, Christ, in the story of the Good Samaritan, portrayed the Pharisees as racial bigots, too self-righteous to respond to the suffering of one who was not a Jew. It is true because of the wickedness of the Canaanites, which included sodomy and infant sacrifice. Israel had been commanded by God to be harsh in her treatment of the inhabitants of the land. 00:09:25:24 - 00:09:43:10 God made it clear that the Canaanites were not simply to be avoided, but destroyed by the time of the New Testament. This method of preserving God's kingdom by separation and the sword had become obsolete. God no longer made a racial difference between men. 00:09:43:13 - 00:10:17:14 But the Pharisees were unfazed by God's new agenda. The Talmud was finally written down nearly five centuries after Christ hit its critical, even homicidal attitudes toward Gentiles might have been lifted out of the Book of Joshua. However, the quickest way to grasp the Talmudic view of Gentiles is not directly from the Talmud, but from the Jewish encyclopedias. If we quote an isolated opinion from the Talmud, a rabbi may quickly object, saying, But that is not the overall opinion of the Talmud. 00:10:17:16 - 00:10:35:02 That is not the definitive view of what the Jewish Encyclopedia provides us is a definitive overview of perhaps hundreds of rabbinic statements on any subject giving us accurate summaries of what the Talmud generally teaches. 00:10:35:04 - 00:10:52:00 In its article on Gentiles. The Jewish Encyclopedia begins to define what makes a Jew so different from a Gentile. According to the rabbis, only Israelites are men Gentiles. They class not as men, but as barbarians. 00:10:52:02 - 00:11:35:23 Since Gentiles are not men in the fullest sense. So the Gentile is not a neighbor of a Jew. Further, since Gentile laws were too crude to admit of reciprocity, meaning too crude to be taken seriously, the Gentile was forever beneath the Jew. Gentiles were outlawed by God from the beginning and thus had no property rights. The Almighty offered the Torah to the Gentile nations also, but since they refused to accept it, he withdrew his shining legal protection from them and transferred their property rights to Israel, who observed his law since the Talmud outlawed the child or issue of a Gentile as that of a beast. 00:11:35:29 - 00:12:04:24 A Gentile had as little legal rights than a Jewish court as did an animal. The Talmud states that if a Gentile sue an Israelite, the verdict is for the defendant. The Israelite. Conversely, if the Israelite is the plaintiff, he obtains full damages because the Talmud conspires against Gentiles. If a Jew was ever caught telling a Gentile what the Talmud really says, such a person deserves death. 00:12:04:26 - 00:12:30:06 So vile was the nature of a Gentile that the great Simeon Ben YOHE said the best among the Gentiles deserves to be killed. The best of snakes ought to have its head crushed. Jews, however, are exalted beings in the Talmud worthy of praise. Christ described the Pharisee who blessed himself, saying, I thank the Lord that I am not his other man. 00:12:30:09 - 00:12:57:19 At imminent Talmudic rabbi says, the same blessed be thou who has not made me a goy or gentile. There is a special antagonism between the Talmud and Jesus. The Talmud attacks everywhere it can. Even his mother, Mary, the Talmud, says, was a whore who mated with carpenters. She, who was the descendant of princes and governors, played the harlot with carpenters. 00:12:57:21 - 00:13:26:06 It naturally followed that the scribes declared Christ to be a bastard. In its article on Jesus. The Jewish Encyclopedia says that Jewish writings defame Christ. It is the tendency of all these sources to belittle the person of Jesus by ascribing to him illegitimate birth, magic and a shameful death. Jesus, according to this article, was considered one of the three worst enemies of Judaism who came to an ignoble end. 00:13:26:09 - 00:13:54:27 The Talmud says they subjected him to four deaths stoning, burning, decapitation and strangling. The Talmud also says he is now in hell, punished with boiling hot excrement. What is Christ advice as he speaks to us? Out of hell? The Jewish Encyclopedia quotes Jesus as telling us above all to bless the Jews. He says further their well-being do nothing to their detriment. 00:13:54:29 - 00:14:29:29 Whoever touches them touches even the apple of his eye. Christians, as followers of the false Prophet Jesus also deserve death. The Jewish Encyclopedia again recaps the Talmud to position a Gentile. Observing the Sabbath deserves death. It says the Talmud hatred was probably directed against the Christian Jews. These Judeo Christians invasively called Men Minute or Minim, were considered by the rabbis to be the most dangerous form of heretics of ancient times. 00:14:30:01 - 00:15:01:25 The New Testament gospels were writings which the rabbis considered more dangerous to the unity of Judaism and those of the pagans. A Talmudic rabbi said the writings of Christians deserved to be burned or paganism as less dangerous than minute or Christianity. The Jewish Encyclopedia, in its article on men, continues to illustrate the Talmudic hatred of Christianity. Again, we must remember venom usually indicates the Judeo Christian. 00:15:01:27 - 00:15:26:03 It was forbidden to partake of meat, bread or wine with the Christian scrolls of the law. Tefillin and mezuzah written by a Christian were burned, and animals slaughtered by a Christian was forbidden to food. The relatives of the Christian were not permitted to observe the laws of mourning after his death, but were required to assume festive garments and rejoice. 00:15:26:05 - 00:15:38:02 The testimony of a Christian was not admitted in evidence in Jewish courts and an Israelite who found anything belonging to one who was a Christian was forbidden to return it to him. 00:15:38:04 - 00:15:58:08 The Pharisees, through the Talmud, thus gave the Jews an ethic which encouraged bigotry and isolation. But they did worse than that. It invited persecution. By the 11th century, inhabitants of Babylon, growing weary of the self-righteousness and dishonesty of the Jews, expelled them to the West. 00:15:58:10 - 00:16:25:27 Migrating across North Africa and Central Europe. The great majority of Jews who had lived in Babylon for almost 600 years now began to find their destinies in the cities of the West. Yet in coming to the West, Jews found their Christian neighbors extremely intolerant of the anti-social deviations Jews had taken for granted in Babylon. In order to survive, it was necessary to abandon such Babylonian traditions. 00:16:25:29 - 00:16:53:06 But that was not as easy as it sounds. For a thousand years, the Pharisees had commanded such deviations. Most Jews could not bring themselves to defy the authority of the Pharisees. Enter one of the giants of Judaism of all time, the great Maimonides. Maimonides, a physician and philosopher, knew that no Jew who practiced Babylonian perversions could remain alive in Christian lands. 00:16:53:09 - 00:17:04:19 He attempted to harmonize Greek philosophy with the best points of Judaism. He hoped his rationalizations would enable Jews to abandon their antisocial customs. 00:17:04:22 - 00:17:21:06 Yet my monarchies was only partly successful. He was excommunicated by the Jewish community on the charge of making new laws. Nevertheless, his moderation and intellect did in fact temper the old Judaism of Babylon. 00:17:21:09 - 00:17:49:24 Gradually, over the centuries, Jews abandoned immoral practices of the Talmud. Such practices are not observed today. In fact, most Jews are so ignorant of the Talmud itself that they do not even know that such teachings exist within their sacred literature. Yet the fact remains that when the Jews came to the West in the Middle Ages and attempted to accommodate the Talmud to Christian society, a tremendous conflict was created in Babylon. 00:17:49:24 - 00:18:12:22 Judaism could be perfectly consistent with the teachings of the Pharisees, because the Babylonians were immoral as well. In the Christian lands of the West, it became necessary to pretend that many of those teachings did not exist. Even today, religious Jews continue to venerate the Pharisees and their Talmud as the greatest source of light that Judaism will ever know. 00:18:12:25 - 00:18:28:22 Yet living in Christian lands, no Jew can fully perform what the Pharisees commanded. This conflict in Jewish responsibility has created a dilemma over the last thousand years from which Jews and the West have not emerged. 00:18:28:24 - 00:18:44:02 Yet, even before my monitors came on the scene in the 12th century, another dilemma was being created in Judaism far to the east. This was a dilemma not concerning the doctrines of the Jews, but over who actually was a Jew. 00:18:44:04 - 00:19:07:12 In their articles on the Khazars. The Jewish Encyclopedia tell us that in the eighth century A.D., Jewish missionaries ventured north of Babylon to the land of the Khazars between the Caspian and the Black Seas. Azaria was a vast grassland on what is now the plains of southern Russia, inhabited by a race of merchants, artisans and warriors of honey. 00:19:07:12 - 00:19:34:23 Turkish stock. About 740 A.D., the king of the Khazars converted to Judaism and made it the state religion. Incredibly, within a few centuries, the people of Ghazaliya convinced themselves that they were not Gentiles after all, but the physical descendants of Abraham. Thus, by the 10th century A.D., a nation across the late Jews thrived in what is now central Russia. 00:19:34:25 - 00:20:05:21 During the Middle Ages, the fierce Mongols from the East and Russians from the north drove the Khazars west out of their ancient homeland. Most settled in Eastern Europe, especially Poland, where they established communities of artisans and traders. Judaism thus became divided into two basic groups which remain today the Ashkenazim, which are the Khazars of the East and the Sephardic Oriental, which are Jews of Spain, Turkey and lands bordering on the Mediterranean. 00:20:05:23 - 00:20:40:06 Today, the Ashkenazim or Khazars are the vast majority, about 80% of those who call themselves Jews. The two most recent premiers of Israel illustrate these two racial types. Shimon Perez is a Sephardic Jew from authentic Jewish stock. Yitzhak Shamir, like Menachem Begin, is Ashkenazim or Khazar in origin. In Poland, these ancestors of most modern Jews thrived. In fact, they actually became more zealous Jews than their theological cousins to the West. 00:20:40:06 - 00:21:12:18 The Sephardim, like Czars, were fascinated with that mystical aspect of Judaism called Kabbalah. Kabbalah was the Jewish form of ancient Gnosticism, a belief that God is unconscious, yet everywhere revealed in different levels of refinement throughout the universe. Of course, Judaism was always unique among ancient religions and its belief in a single conscious God, a God not only capable of creating the world's, but of punishing evil and rewarding good. 00:21:12:20 - 00:21:48:07 Like Eastern religions, however, the Polish cable has believed that God in his purest form is utterly remote, unknowable, without opinions about right and wrong. Instead, his being filtered down through many gradations or separate until it reached Israel. Israel, according to the Kabbalah, was the visible, rational emanation of God in this world. Below Israel was confusion and darkness represented by demons and the chaotic world of the Gentiles. 00:21:48:09 - 00:22:09:07 What excited the Khazars was that Kabbalah preached revolution. It said that Jews are superior beings were destined to rule the world in the Zohar, which is the written text of Kabbalistic lore. We find the arrogance and ambition of the ancient Pharisees very much alive. 00:22:09:09 - 00:22:37:24 In a typical passage, the Zohar teaches a living soul refers to Israel who have holy living souls from above and cattle and creeping thing and beasts of the earth to the other peoples who are not living soul only by the overthrow of the Gentiles, the Zohar asserts. Can Israel regain its position as God's Shekinah glory on Earth. The Zohar calls Gentiles Hammill a case in a passage typical of many. 00:22:37:28 - 00:23:04:07 The Zohar says they caused the destruction of the temple. So when God reveals himself, they will be wiped off the earth. Redemption will not be complete until al-Malaki will be exterminated. But once Israel shakes off Gentile, dominion and Christian influence, heaven will descend to earth. The Zohar says Israel will fulfill her predestined role, ruling the world under the leadership of her Messiah. 00:23:04:09 - 00:23:28:13 Since the Kabbalah or Zohar was not merely a theological system but taught the overthrow of existing order, it was natural that before long Jews should begin to put it in the practice. With the age of Voltaire and the so-called Enlightenment. During the 18th century, we see a host of Jewish lists migrating west out of Poland and penetrating the very capitals of Europe. 00:23:28:15 - 00:23:43:09 Jewish wonder workers walsham's, as they were called Saint Germain, carefully astral frank folk men of vast wealth and mystery, came upon the European scene at the end of the 18th century. 00:23:43:12 - 00:24:16:08 In Europe in the years preceding the French Revolution. The foundations were laid for a new order in the world. Cable, as such as Adam Bice, had helped establish the ultra secret Illuminati, which became a cover for plots and intrigues that would begin the erosion of Christian civilization. At the same time, beginning with Jewish philosopher Moses Mendelssohn, many Jews began to perceive their religion not simply as a means of personal salvation, but as a way to reform society at large. 00:24:16:10 - 00:24:52:29 Many Jewish activists said that starting with such revolutionaries as Moses and the prophets, Israel had always had the social objective of writing injustice and taking the part of the downtrodden. It was the duty of every Jew, they said, to come to the aid of the oppressed working masses, called the proletariat in their historic struggle against capitalistic bondage. Many Jews thus came out of the ghetto and took part in all the great revolutions of the 19th century, including the revolution of 1829 and the revolution of 1848. 00:24:53:02 - 00:25:20:00 It is thus not surprising that as the 20th century dawns, we find Jews turning their attentions to the overthrow of one of the last monarchies still opposing Jewish advancement. The Romanoff dynasty of Russia. It is well known that the Jews had long hoped to overthrow the Czar. It was natural then that Jewish philosophers such as Moses, Hess and Karl Marx should contrive a philosophy that could make such overthrow possible. 00:25:20:03 - 00:25:48:20 It was also natural that international Jewish bankers of New York, London and Hamburg should finance it. The U.S. State Department, in its three volume report on the origins of communism in Russia, published in 1931, reveals how Jewish controlled German banks under the leadership of Max Warburg, conspired as early as 1914 to send large payments to Lenin, Trotsky and others in their attempts to bring down the Czar. 00:25:48:22 - 00:26:12:21 As part of this conspiracy. Jacob Schiff, head of the New York Jewish Banking House of Could, Loeb invested at least 20 million, which would be close to $1 billion today toward the establishment of Bolshevism in Russia. In its article on socialism, the Jewish Encyclopedia published in 1905, freely admits that Jews in Russia were ripe for revolution in Russia. 00:26:12:22 - 00:26:18:23 Yet socialism has become a movement of the Jewish masses. 00:26:18:26 - 00:26:56:14 The later Encyclopedia Judaica tells us the communist movement and ideology played an important part in Jewish life, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s and during and after World War Two. The Judaica, in fact, presents an extensive list of the most powerful Jewish leaders of Bolshevism, which included Trotsky, spared La Zinoviev, Communist Lebanon, Hagana, Vic and many others. The Judaica also tells us just how many Jews filled the communist ranks. continue to..... .. PART 2 transcripts

🚨🚨🚨A Stark Warning 🚨🚨🚨 🚨Europe is losing its mind. 🚨Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 🚨Russia could wipe us out in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 🚨Does anyone think that if Russia is massively attacked within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? Pedro Baños Retired Spanish Army Colonel: 📑 That Mrs. von der Leyen is going to give Ukraine another 3.3 BILLONES euros another because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? Because she says that everything Ukraine has already received isn't enough, right? 0:08 Exactly, the problem is that they've made a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:09 a huge bet on Ukraine, and it has gone badly for them 0:12 and now, how do they backtrack, 0:13 how do they admit that this has been a mistake 0:14 from the very start, that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:17 that they've led an entire people to destruction, 0:18 that already two generations of Ukrainians have died, 0:20 those who haven't fled the country, 0:22 which is a total disaster. 0:23 We only have the casualty exchange numbers between Russia and Ukraine, 0:27 between Russia and Ukraine, and the figures are staggering. 0:30 We can provide them later, right? 0:32 But what's going on? 0:34 As you said, that increase ... 0:36 look, in Spain's case, 0:37 it means multiplying the Defence budget by five, 0:41 Because of course, since the United States first asked for 2%. 0:44 Since we agreed, they said, "Hey, then 3.5%.." 0:47 Since we also agreed, they said, "Well, 5%." 0:49 These people are fools, so let's go, let's ask them for more, right? 0:52 In the end, they are going to buy almost everything from me, 0:54 which I really need. 0:55 But what is the problem, Ambassador? 0:56 When you manufacture weapons, 0:59 there is only one way for that system not to fail you, 1:02 and that is to use the weapons you've produced. 1:05 Because look, 1:06 you manufacture—imagine, it's true, there was a deficit here, 1:08 for example, of artillery shells, 1:10 one hundred fifty-five, or shells for, 1:12 cannons, or, or, or tank shells. 1:15 Fine, that's all well and good, whatever we want. 1:17 You've already produced that one million, five million shells. 1:21 And once you've produced them, what do you do? 1:22 That factory you set up with public money, with subsidies, do you shut it down? 1:28 Or you have the other option, 1:30 which is to go to war to use up that ammunition 1:32 and keep producing more. 1:33 And as it happens, in Europe, 1:35 especially in the main countries, 1:37 the economy is a total mess, 1:39 it's in free fall, 1:43 they desperately need, 1:45 as they can no longer make cars, like in Germany, 1:48 to start making tanks or ammunition instead. 1:51 But France is in the same situation. 1:52 A France that has been expelled from Africa, 1:56 where what the franc meant for them, the CFA. 2:00 And not only that, but also all the resources 2:02 they extracted under more than favorable conditions from these countries, 2:06 starting with uranium from Niger, 2:08 they've run out of it. 2:09 France is having a very hard time, 2:11 with an absolutely brutal social crisis. 2:15 And now we see all this coming together 2:16 with skyrocketing energy prices, 2:19 we can already see that the price of fuels 2:21 in Germany has already surpassed 2.5 euro— 2:24 euros per liter, which is truly outrageous. 2:27 We're talking about, and we saw the news, 2:29 that filling a standard tank 2:32 of an average vehicle now means 200 euros, 2:35 200 euros, which is absolutely insane. 2:38 And what does that mean? 2:39 That they only have one solution, indeed, 2:42 which is to go to war. 2:43 And remember there's something that, 2:45 we studied it in the Command and Staff course 2:47 and when you tell people about it, 2:48 they treat it as little more than a joke too, 2:50 that there is something called the relaxing wars. 2:53 The relaxing wars that have been used throughout 2:55 history 2:57 to get rid of part of the population or to get out of an economic chaos. 3:02 And that's ... 3:03 right now it would be very convenient for them to, 3:04 on one hand, get rid of some of the population, 3:07 that is, get rid of this problem they say they won't be able to pay pensions, 3:10 because all of this increase, besides the cost, don't forget, military, 3:15 means a clear and tangible reduction of the welfare state, 3:20 of the four pillars of the welfare state. 3:22 Some of the more honest politicians, the few there are, 3:25 tell you this openly, others still keep it hidden. 3:28 But, of course, what happens? 3:29 That, in fact, it would be very convenient for them to camouflage the dire situation, 3:33 regrettable, that they have within their own country. 3:35 We see and we can talk about Macron's statements today, 3:39 where he said that we should just about go 3:41 to war because Russia is waging a hybrid war against us 3:43 which is unacceptable and that we have to be prepared. 3:46 Macron said it, as well as some of his top ministers. 3:48 Of course, but the thing is, France is in a very, 3:51 very delicate, extremely delicate situation. 3:53 And also in a France 3:55 where people are not as patient as the Spanish, 3:57 over there, as soon as people get a little heated, 3:59 they take to the streets and burn down half the streets. 4:02 But we've talked about it, the way things are in Germany, 4:04 the way things are in Sweden, the way things are in Finland, 4:07 which, ever since it joined NATO, 4:09 has completely come apart, with unemployment even higher than in Spain, 4:14 a sunken economy. 4:16 And then some only see the way out as the United Kingdom, 4:19 which now even wants to break apart, 4:21 there are already, there are small populations that are asking for independence 4:25 within the United Kingdom, even on the verge, 4:28 as many predict, of an internal civil confrontation. 4:32 And of course, what do they always find? 4:33 Well, we already know that to unite the people, 4:36 to cover up internal chaos, 4:40 you know, create an external enemy 4:42 and declare that you have to go to war against them. 4:43 The problem with all that, Ambassador, 4:44 is that when, and you know this perfectly well, 4:46 you have even much more experience than I do, 4:49 you say, you know that the problem with all this is 4:50 that when you get yourself involved in this war context, 4:53 you are making the population get used to it every day. 4:56 We just have to look at a some newspaper, 4:59 a Spanish one that every day, every single day without exception, 5:02 publishes some story to accuse Russia of anything, 5:05 or to convince the population 5:07 that we must go to war against Russia. 5:09 So, when you already have the, the, the atmosphere, the context, the narrative, 5:13 and you've already created it, all that's left is the incident. 5:15 And we're seeing incidents like these every day. 5:17 Like—now, it's a Danish helicopter, 5:20 or a frigate getting close to a Russian ship, 5:23 or the Russian ship fires a grenade, or some warning flares, 5:27 which is nonsense. 5:28 A flare is—what's even happening— 5:29 what range could it have? 300 meters. 5:31 And that's not going to bring down any helicopter. 5:34 But of course, it must be because the helicopter had come closer precisely 5:38 to the Russian warship in international waters. 5:42 But they're searching, they're only looking for the incident that will make all this blow up completely, 5:46 when, on top of that, they're deceiving us every day with the whole drone issue, 5:50 about Russian drones in the middle of Germany, 5:52 about not knowing, knowing where they came from and they just appear out of nowhere, 5:55 almost as if in, in a space-time shortcut. 5:58 And, and it's like that all the time. And we have loads of information. 6:01 But look, but the thing is there is a fact right now that strikes me as devastating 6:04 to show us how they're speeding this up by the minute, Ambassador, 6:09 Today's news 6:10 that Ukraine has launched drones 6:13 against a Russian nuclear power plant inside Russia. 6:17 Because remember that every so often, he launches strikes on Zaporizhia and 6:19 on top of that, they accuse the Russians of being the ones 6:22 launching drones at their own nuclear plant, 6:24 because they currently have it in their possession. 6:27 No, no, we're talking about inside, inside Russia, 6:31 at a nuclear power plant, Ukraine has launched drones. 6:34 In other words, what they're looking for now is for 6:36 Russia to blow up, 6:38 I mean, for them to say, look, this is where we draw the line, 6:41 I've had enough of you. 6:42 And, and, and on top of that, so that we Europeans can play the victim, see? 6:45 We had already warned you that Russia could attack us at any moment. 6:48 If they're provoking them with the, 6:51 the ones living in the Baltic states, 6:54 whose civil rights have been taken away, 6:55 who have been banned from speaking Russian. 6:57 In other words, they're constantly provoking it so that Russia finally snaps, 7:01 and specifically, 7:02 so that it's the one to take the first step in this war, 7:05 and today's statements from everyone, from Donald Tusk, 7:08 from Macron, from Merz they're honestly chilling. 7:13 That is, they're already openly talking to us about war, 7:16 they're openly talking to us about war. 7:18 And besides, the case of Poland, 7:20 which we'll discuss later too and give the exact data, 7:25 but what's happening with Poland is, is also spectacular. 7:27 And by the way, Trump, 7:30 who used to say he was going to leave Europe, 7:31 and now says no, that he's going to create a massive mega-base in Poland, 7:36 which is a plan that's already been in motion for some time. 7:39 But later, since he said he was going to leave Europe, 7:40 What is going to leave Europe? 7:41 And what we're talking about is quite the opposite, 7:43 about an absolutely warmongering Europe, 7:46 with reckless warmongering. 7:48 Because also, as you were saying, from a military point of view, 7:52 this is madness. 7:53 Where are we going up against a nuclear power? 7:56 They could wipe us out 7:58 in a matter of minutes, 8:00 in a matter of minutes, they could wipe out all of Europe. 8:02 But where are we going? 8:03 Does anyone think 8:05 that if Russia is massively attacked 8:09 within its territory, it will just sit back and do nothing? 8:12 Obviously not. So, what are we trying to achieve? 8:14 That they'll get really tired and launch two or three, 8:18 nuclear bombs on some of the main European capitals? 8:21 What are they trying to do? 8:22 I really don't know. 8:24 And you say, "But let's see." 8:25 Also, here no one, absolutely no one, is talking about diplomacy. 8:29 No one is talking... And you are a diplomat, an ambassador. 8:32 You know how important, vital, essential diplomacy is. 8:35 And let's not forget that the First World War, 8:38 which today is more than proven, was a failure of diplomacy. 8:42 It was a failure of diplomacy in entering the First World War. 8:45 So, what are they trying to do? 8:47 No one, no one speaks of negotiation, no one speaks of, of peace, 8:50 no one speaks of diplomacy, starting with the Kaja Kallas, 8:52 who is the head of European diplomacy. 8:54 So, it's a situation that's not, no, not, truly tremendously delicate, 8:58 and we're not paying enough attention to it. 9:00 But those of us who know something about these issues, 9:02 in your case as a diplomat, in my case as a soldier, 9:05 since we've traveled a lot around the world, 9:07 we know how populations are prepared psychologically for war. 9:12 And that's what they've been preparing us for, for some time now, 9:14 but right now, in an absolutely accelerated way. 9:17 That preparation is blatant now, absolutely blatant, 9:21 how they're preparing us for, 9:23 of course, because you have to convince people how positive war was. 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:27 We've already done many programs on this topic, 9:30 about how, yes, how the adversary is demonized 9:33 so that in the end, people are convinced 9:35 that it's even, even good, 9:37 even logical, even "Christian," to, to attack, to attack the enemy 9:42 because he's so bad, so bad, truly evil, that he deserves to be attacked, right? 9:45 Without us realizing, the ones who suffer the consequences are us. 9:49 Mrs. von der Leyen, the president of the Commission, 9:52 has already said that none of her seven children will go to war, 9:54 because they're not prepared for that. 9:56 It will be the children of the poor, right, who go to war, 9:59 they're the ones who get sent. 10:00 So, of course, the, concern is immense, Ambassador. 10:04 But look, today itself, for example, the statements 10:07 from, we can talk about here, 10:10 from Figaro, it says here Macron says, 10:14 he says, "The president of the Republic's alert regarding the Russian threat." 10:19 It would be a mistake by Russia to continue 10:22 acting like this toward Europeans." 10:23 You say, "But look, you're the ones pressuring Russia." 10:26 Or the same thing, here on BFM, 10:29 it says, Macron says: 10:30 "The Russian hybrid threat towards Europeans and France has intensified." 10:36 Well, now they don't even know what to make up. 10:37 Or actually, here too, the EFE News Agency, which says: 10:40 "Macron warns of a shift in Russian aggression and threats in Europe." 10:46 In other words, they are preparing the ground, Ambassador, 10:48 they are preparing the ground. 10:50 When they haven't been able to prove anything 10:52 about these threats, not even the helicopter with the flares, 10:55 nor the drone issue. 10:57 In fact, there's information saying it's all staged. 10:59 There are no videos, no clear images, no remains of those drones. 11:04 And the only piece that exists, one from Poland, 11:06 seems to be all staged, 11:07 it's a shame I can't show the image, 11:10 but we'll talk about it later. 11:11 That is to say, but this really worries me, 11:13 knowing how wars are prepared, 11:15 knowing how populations are prepared, 11:17 specifically so they go to those wars gladly 11:21 and without understanding the goals behind them, 11:23 which certainly have nothing to do 11:25 with the evilness of Russia, 11:26 nor that Russia is out to kill us all, 11:28 they have been feeding us this story, 11:29 since when, Ambassador, for the past four years, 11:32 when they told us that Russia at any moment 11:33 was going to invade all of Europe. 11:35 Anyway, in any case, I find this issue absolutely extremely serious, Ambassador. *Pedro Baños Bajo is a retired Spanish Army colonel, writer, and prominent geopolitical analyst specializing in defense, intelligence, and international relations.
