Ordinary Russians must be furious at Putin for putting illegal immigrants on the frontline in Ukraine instead of in five-star hotels.

You'd have to be blind not to see that the Golitsyn story was a Mossad psyop. "Golitsyn defected via Helsinki on December 15, 1961. He and his family flew with a CIA escort to Sweden and then to the United States, where he was interviewed by Angleton personally." . . . "Although Golitsyn was a questionable source, Angleton accepted significant information obtained from his debriefing by the CIA" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jesus_Angleton "Angleton and Golitsyn reportedly sought the assistance of William F. Buckley, Jr. (who once worked for the CIA) in writing New Lies for Old." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anatoliy_Golitsyn "Beginning in 1951, Angleton was responsible for "the Israel desk" as liaison with Israel's Mossad and Shin Bet agencies. Angleton retained an active interest in Israeli intelligence and maintained connections there throughout his career..." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Jesus_Angleton

This documentary is even more interesting now we know that USAID was funding 90% of Ukrainian media companies. After Zelencky met with the head of MI6, he said to Ukrainian journalists: "They expect proposals about independent media from us. They are ready to finance them, together with Ukraine, to provide Ukraine with information that corresponds to the main issues". BBC Media Action were active in Ukraine and they got funding from USAID. "Like many international development organisations, BBC Media Action has been affected by the temporary pause in US government funding, which amounts to about 8% of our income in 2023-24. We’re doing everything we can to minimise the impact on our partners and the people we serve." https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaaction/press-release/4-feb-25 Only Tobias Elwood and EW could imagine that a collaboration between MI6, USAID and BBC Media Action would give Ukrainians access to "independent news coverage and quality factual programming". "Media Action is working on a Good Governance Fund-supported programme to enhance the capacity of the Ukrainian TV station – Hromadske TV. The station was set up by a group of independent-minded journalists in 2013 as the first media outlet in Ukraine incorporated as a non-governmental organisation. Our project aims to ensure that audiences across Ukraine have access to independent news coverage and quality factual programming. By providing training and mentoring to Hromadske TV’s news and programme departments, we’re helping to improve the station’s newsgathering and news production operations, ensuring that outputs across TV, online, and social media are better integrated through a multi-platform newsroom." https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediaaction/where-we-work/europe-and-caucasus/ukraine/hromadske-tv Elon needs to have a look at the Good Governance Fund. "Britain will support economic reform and good governance in at least 5 Eastern neighbourhood and Balkan countries, Prime Minister David Cameron announced today (20 March 2015). Speaking at the EU Summit in Brussels, the Prime Minister told other leaders that the UK would be launching a new multi-year programme to provide expert advice, training and assistance to the governments of Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Serbia and Bosnia and Herzegovina." https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-uk-funding-to-help-build-stronger-and-more-democratic-nations-in-the-eastern-neighbourhood-and-balkans A big contract was awarded during the first lockdown.

What happened to Occam's razor?

"Germans who suspect that their relatives or friends have fallen for conspiracy theories can now seek official guidance, the Interior Ministry has announced. The government has launched a nationwide consultation center to combat “lies and disinformation.” Known as the Advice Compass on Conspiracy Thinking, the service was launched on Thursday and is accessible online or by phone. According to the ministry, it aims to provide “the most tailored help and advice possible” for those seeking guidance. The German authorities have been raising the alarm over the supposed rise of conspiracy theories. This trend is often linked to the Querdenker (lateral thinking) movement, which emerged during the Covid-19 pandemic to oppose lockdown measures and other government policies. Since then, Querdenker groups have organized protests against Germany’s foreign policy and weapons supplies to Kiev, which began in 2022 following the escalation of the conflict between Ukraine and Russia." https://www.rt.com/news/613416-germany-advice-center-conspiracy-theories/ "Everyone knows about the Stasi and the extent to which it spied on the East German populace. But that was only a small part of the informing that went on.

"The US Agency for International Development (USAID) funneled millions in American taxpayer dollars into Ukrainian fashion and pet companies, then attempted to hide the funding from Congress, American conservative newspaper the Federalist reported on Wednesday. The agency allocated Ukrainian luxury fashion businesses a total of roughly $733,000, a “custom carpet manufacturer” a $2 million grant, and a “specialty biscuit and confectionery company” around $678,000, the outlet said. “Literal pet projects” such as a “dog collar manufacturer” company and a “pet tracking app” firm were handed $300,000 each, the newspaper said. With USAID funding suspended by Trump, the vast majority of Ukrainian media companies have been put at risk of shutting down, multiple NGOs have reported. According to French NGO Reporters Without Borders, 9 out of 10 media outlets in Ukraine were dependent on USAID as their primary donor." https://www.rt.com/russia/613405-usaid-millions-ukrainian-pets/

"We have been writing here on TGP about how, in today’s Europe, any leader who doesn’t engage in the West’s push against Russia has been considered potentially an enemy – just ask much-maligned Hungary’s Viktor Orbán or Slovakian Prime Minister Robert Fico, who was shot several times by an angry pro-Ukraine activist back in May 2024, and barely survived the vicious attack. The same kind of pressure has been felt by Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić and his populist government, who kept a good bilateral relation with Russia and shunned most of the Globalist package of ruinous policies. It arose that USAID has invested almost $1 billion in Serbia since 2001, in what the Reuters’ report describes as ‘bolstering growth, strengthening the ‘rule of law’ and improving ‘good governance’ – all those code-words that signify ‘color revolutions’ and ‘regime change’ in the double-speak of CIA-USAID." https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2025/02/serbian-police-raids-ngos-funded-usaid-investigates-abuse/

Correlation or causation? "The $21 million in American taxpayer money earmarked for “voter turnout in India,” which was recently canceled by Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was actually allocated to Bangladesh, according to an investigative report published by The Indian Express on Friday. The media outlet claimed it had gained access to the funding records and learned that the allocation had been made by USAID in 2022, with $13.4 million already disbursed for “political and civic engagement” among students before the January 2024 elections in Bangladesh. Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina was forced to resign in August following massive student-led protests that left hundreds dead." https://www.rt.com/india/613137-usaids-role-uncovered-bangladesh-hasina/

I pulled 2 out of the CIA's archives. Studies in Intelligence Vol. 53 No. 4 (2009) Angleton was fervently anti-communist, continually discoursing on “the nature of the [Soviet] threat,” and ardently supported Israel; his control of that country’s account at CIA, an administrative anomaly, was one of the foundations of his influence. The two qualities were interrelated operationally, as he saw Israel as a bastion against the Soviet Union... https://www.cia.gov/resources/csi/static/Cunning-Passages-Contrived-Corridors.pdf "2. James Angleton worked closely with Mossad and Shin Bet, because he believed that Israel wanted to undermine the Kremlin." As for 1, are you saying you don't admire Angleton or you admire him for a different reason? "1. EnigmaticWorld admires James Angleton, because Angleton wanted to undermine the Kremlin."

GENEVA (AP) — The U.N. refugee agency said Tuesday it’s giving its highest award to former German Chancellor Angela Merkel for her efforts to welcome more than 1 million refugees — mostly from Syria — into Germany, despite some criticism both at home and abroad. Germany welcomed more than 1.2 million refugees and asylum-seekers in 2015 and 2016...The award includes a $150,000 prize. https://apnews.com/article/geneva-germany-migration-united-nations-74cb893889479afe6a98718c1d22c515 As BBC Trending reported last week, Chancellor Angela Merkel's changes to asylum rules prompted love letters from Syrians. More broadly, Germany is the top destination for migrants from outside Europe and expects to take in 800,000 this year - more than the total number who entered the EU in 2014. https://www.bbc.com/news/blogs-trending-34116381

How can people support this, then moan about immigration? 14 December 2022 Thousands of families who opened their homes to Ukrainians fleeing Putin’s illegal war will now receive a package of further support, as government urges new potential hosts to come forward and apply for re-matching. Over 100,000 Ukrainians have sought sanctuary in the UK through the Homes for Ukraine scheme, one of the fastest, biggest and most generous visa programmes in British history. Now, in recognition of their ongoing support amidst the rising cost-of-living, all sponsors will receive an increased ‘thank you’ payment of £500 a month for guests who have been in the country for over a year. ‘Thank you’ payments will also be extended from 12 months to 2 years, so that guests who may not yet be ready to move into independent accommodation can stay in sponsorship for longer where sponsors are willing to extend arrangements. In cases where sponsorships can no longer continue, councils in all parts of the UK will receive help to house Ukrainians through a one-off pot of government funding worth £150 million, as well as a new £500 million Local Authority Housing Fund in England. https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-over-650m-support-package-for-ukrainians-sees-increased-thank-you-payments-for-longer-term-hosts 20 February 2025 The Home Office said since Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion, more than 300,000 Ukrainians and their families had been given sanctuary in the UK. Last month, the government reversed visa rule changes to allow Ukrainians to bring their children to join them in the UK. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/czdlyj1m5z5o

If you're going to play the victim card, you might as well go all in and join BLM.

Two thirds of Mirror readers are against sending peacekeeping troops to Ukraine, but you side with the political classes. When are you going to admit you don't give a shit about ordinary brits?

This is a red herring. Nobody here goes on about the British empire. You only need to go back about 25 years and look at all the examples of underhanded operations for regime change or outright invasions. Then you've got the US and UK governments promoting cultural marxism around the world and dressing it up as international aid and development. This is not history - it was happening in the US till last week, and it's still happening in the UK.

Can you confirm whether the three statements below are accurate? 1. EnigmaticWorld admires James Angleton, because Angleton wanted to undermine the Kremlin. 2. James Angleton worked closely with Mossad and Shin Bet, because he believed that Israel wanted to undermine the Kremlin. 3. EnigmaticWorld believes that Israel is working with the Kremlin to undermine the West. Thanks in advance.

https://rumble.com/v6k2yyp-mike-benz-on-jake-sullivans-email-to-clinton-and-bypassing-trump.html "We have leaked WikiLeaks emails from Jake Sullivan telling Hillary Clinton that Al Qaeda is on our side in Syria and that, effectively, ISIS was a useful ally against Bashar al-Assad. Trump wanted to take out ISIS. How do you fund ISIS if the president wants to eradicate ISIS? If you still want to use them as assets in the region, you won’t get interagency approval if the CIA does it as a covert operation. But what if USAID does it? And that’s how you see all this USAID money flowing to ISIS, Al Qaeda, and Taliban groups. I think they found $122 million from USAID for them just this week. I guarantee that number is much higher." Has anybody told Christopher Jon Bjerknes and Richard Willett about this?

It's ironic that the numpties who supported Ukraine on the basis that Putin is responsible for migration in the West encouraged a law that could lead to the UK being flooded with refugees from conflicts all around the world. "A Palestinian family that fled Gaza has been granted the right to live in the UK following an appeal - after they applied to enter the country through a Ukrainian refugee scheme. The mother, father and their four children - who were aged seven, eight, 17 and 18 in September - were displaced after their home was destroyed by an airstrike in the Israel-Hamas war. They applied for entry to the UK using the Ukraine Family Scheme to join the father's brother, who has lived in the UK since 2007 and is a British citizen." https://news.sky.com/story/palestinian-family-allowed-to-remain-in-uk-after-applying-through-ukrainian-refugee-scheme-13307616

Russian politicians tackle the declining birth rate by banning LGBT activism and encouraging Russians to have more children. Western governments encourage LGBT activism and import refugees to replace the natives. How do these facts fit your narrative of both sides being puppets of same elites?

Do you mean victims like Mrs Merkel? The Guardian: 31 August 2015 Angela Merkel, the German chancellor, says Wir schaffen das – We’ll manage this – after visiting a camp for newly arrived refugees. Soon after she announces an open-door policy; in the year that follows over a million people claim asylum in Germany. 13 November 2015 The Bataclan attack in Paris is the first of a series of deadly attacks by Isis-affiliated extremists across Europe. In July 2016 a Syrian who declared his support for the group kills himself and injures 15 others with a homemade bomb at a music festival in the German town of Ansbach. The far right uses the attacks to argue against Merkel’s refugee policies. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/30/angela-merkel-great-migrant-gamble-paid-off Brave AI: Germany has recorded more deaths than births every year since 1972, which means 2021 was the 50th consecutive year the German population would have decreased without immigration. Why don't Western countries try to increase the birth rate by encouraging their own ethnic groups to have children, like they do in Russia?

A 29-year-old woman in Sevastopol has been fined 50,000 rubles (about US$500) for promoting a child-free lifestyle on social media, according to a statement by local police on Friday. It is the first penalty imposed under Russia’s recent ban on ‘propaganda of childlessness’. In November 2024, Russian lawmakers passed legislation banning the promotion of voluntary childlessness, aiming to boost the country’s declining birth rate. The law prohibits disseminating information that encourages people not to have children, with fines reaching 400,000 rubles for individuals and up to five million rubles for organizations. The measure follows the government’s stated intent to promote traditional family values. Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasized the importance of increasing the birth rate. “If we want to preserve ourselves as an ethnic group – or as ethnic groups inhabiting Russia – there should be at least two children. To expand and develop, we need at least three children,” he said last year. https://www.rt.com/russia/612015-woman-fined-promoting-child-free/

I don't know if you realise, but the two previous posters are big fans of Ukraine, NATO and the CIA.

Can't see any mention of this awkward moment in the western media. "The refusal of Syria’s de facto leader to shake hands with German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was expected, the top German diplomat has admitted. Baerbock and her French counterpart, Jean-Noel Barrot, made a surprise visit to Syria on Friday, meeting the country’s de facto leader, the head of the Hayat Tahrir al-Sham (HTS) jihadist group, Ahmed Hussein al-Sharaa, best known by his nom de guerre Abu Mohammad al-Julani. The meeting started off with an awkward scene when al-Sharaa offered a handshake to Barrot but explicitly avoided shaking hands with Baerbock, placing his right hand on his heart instead. The new Syrian leader is known for refusing to shake hands with women due to his hardline Islamist views. The French foreign minister almost managed to dodge al-Sharaa’s hand, while Baerbock appeared to initially reach for the new Syrian leader, clapping her hands in the air instead." https://www.rt.com/news/610440-baerbock-syria-handshake-affair/ But she seems to be taking the piss. "All Syrian groups, including women and Kurds, must be involved in the country's transition if Damascus wants European support, Germany's foreign minister said after a closely-watched first meeting with the new de facto leader Ahmed al-Sharaa on Friday." https://www.reuters.com/world/germanys-foreign-minister-heads-damascus-one-day-trip-2025-01-03/ "She added that she was travelling to Syria with an "outstretched hand" after Assad's ouster and more than 13 years of civil war, which have devastated the country. "We now have a goal in mind that millions of Syrians also long for: that Syria can once again become a respected member of the international community," she added." https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20250103-french-fm-visits-syria-with-german-counterpart-to-promote-peaceful-transition

Zelenski is refusing to let Russian natural gas flow through Ukraine to other Eastern European countries. People in Moldova have no heating, but that's not Zelenski's fault. The Moldovans are freezing because the Russians haven't made a big enough effort to find alternative routes. (BBC logic) Kyiv is calling it a "historic" day as its refusal to extend a transit agreement with Russia's Gazprom has halted the return flow of cash to fund the full-scale invasion of Ukraine But in neighbouring Moldova, the move threatens to cause a crisis. Russia could supply its allies in Transnistria via Turkey, albeit at a higher cost, which would mean electricity for all Moldova. "We're treating this not as an energy crisis but a security crisis, induced by Russia to destabilise Moldova both economically and socially," Olga Rosca, foreign policy adviser to Moldova's president, told the BBC. "Analyst Jakub Pieńkowski agrees that the Kremlin is exploiting Kyiv's decision to ban the transit of Russian gas. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cy8ymx50kz8o
