The World is in its most important ULTIMATE phase:
Will we Pass the Ultimate test, having reached the moment that a technological advanced civilization has only a few "Groups" left that - in the absence of other enemies on their planet - are fighting each other for planetary hegemony, using "Group-Thinking", as their evolutionary heritage forces them to do, will see that cooperation is the answer, since fighting to become the STRONGEST will ultimately destroy their planet.
Some scientist think that we did not see any alien visitors or even signals from other civilisations, because NON of them (probably many billions) PASSED this ultimate EXAM.
But... "Hope lost, all lost." as an old Dutch saying goes.
A historical clarification: You said "Just as the First Patriotic War changed the USSR ...". Russia's "Patriotic War" is the war of 1812 against Napoleon and his allies. The "Great Patriotic War" is the war against Nazi Germany and its allies. Both wars against invaders from the West.
I still haven't made up my mind regarding him but until there's better info, I give him the benefit of the doubt. It's quite possible that he's been put in a terrible situation to make him turn. If so, we must ourselves what we would do if our life and families were at risk. "Our news media is a joke" - AGREED.
Make him turn from what? Hes been pointing out the mess our CIA has made in Ukraine in both orchestrating the removal of Viktor Yanukovich and instigating attacks on Eastern Ukraines Russian population; which forced Putins hand.
For all his criticisms of Kiev/Zelensky: Gonzalo has skin in the game. His wife is Ukrainian and hes got two kids with her
I know he's admirably being pointing out the propaganda. I'm not saying he's still steadfast or has been turned into a trap. I don't know. The SBU are scary motherfuckers. They got their hands on Lira, and would likely have threatened his family. What would you or I do if we were in that situation? I have sympathy for Lira either way, but I worry that the SBU will target Lira's network. Out of all the possible futures, it is my hope that he and everybody is safe.
i like your texts. but you missed the history here. The Kingdom of Poland has existed since 1000. The first Polish king was crowned in 1025. In 966, Poland was baptized by the governor of the Vatican. earlier stories have been erased. but all this was before the Polish-Lithuanian Union. calling Poland a fictitious creation you take away 1000 years of its history (the least).
Then why did you write so authoritatively on a subject that you know so little about? Some really shoddy history here that will be passed on to othere. Sorry, I can't trust you after this piece. Unsubscribed.
I was not writing about Poland's early history but rather about modern history, which I DO know something about. Early Polish history is complicated. Having looked at it, it seems to me that Poland was a nation in one sense but not a nation state as we define it today. It began as a federation of West Slavic tribes, who spoke Lechitic. The biggest one being the Polani (hence the name "Poland") The first kingdom was a feudal state and lasted only a hundred years. So Poland as a nation state did not really exist - by MODERN definitions -- until the modern nation state came about in the 19th Century. Sorry you feel this way. But your opinion seems to confirm my sense that most people do not understand history -- only mythologies about the past.
I have a question, and perhaps someone out there can answer. What does the common Pole think of all this? I cannot believe they hate Russians just because they are told to. I am inclined to believe that they just want to be left alone to live their lives, and don't care whether the Elites in Warsaw, or Moscow govern them. These power games seem to be the purview of the Power Elites, and not the common man.
Poles have been subjected to the process of building Russophobia for decades. The history with Russia was not simple either. The Polish government to the traitor of the nation and play dirty games with the "empire of freedom". They do not ask the people for their opinion and use propaganda. Even the anti-war position is ridiculed and denied. Fear and the image of "Bad Russky" are being built. Not many people in the nation think about regaining lands in the east. Most people just buy propaganda. People are dumb ass. But still not do as on the west.
"However, we should not forget that both comrades receive instructions from Washington, but also from London, and recently the position on a number of issues in both Anglo-Saxon capitals is completely different. So, it is possible that the <b>Britons continue to play their game in the matter of nuclear blackmail.</b>"
Britain is exposing itself in public view! Ought to be a law about that!
The new alliance would have Great Britain as its leader and would include Ukraine, Poland, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, as well as potentially Turkey at a later date,
This looks like the Intermarium on steroids, or a shriveled British Commonwealth! What could possibly go wrong! After Brexit, replace the EU - wow!

History is just a story we're told. The good news is that the events are there, and we can write the story on our own, if we choose!
I do think that we will walk back from this brink, or at least hope so. If there's one thing politicians are good at, it's the logic of power, and I think that that logic is pointing towards a tactical withdrawal and reallocation of resources. If you look at the preparation of the media space, we are headed in that direction.
Thanks Julian. Many great points; just a few that I did not resonate with but that I can ponder over. [I am still not satisfied that I understand everything.” – me either!!]
“I found that most that I had learned in high school and college […] was wrong.” YEP!!
When I started trying to understand Russia today (and Putin) I knew I needed to delve deep into its history – one hundred years since the Bolshevik takeover, three hundred progressive years under the Romanovs, back to the advent of Orthodox Christianity (ex Byzantium) and even beyond.
As you yourself have done, one needs to do similarly with ‘Poland’.
A very detailed and informative insight into this ‘complicated’ history can be found in Chapter 1 (audio segments #4 to #14) of
• The Forced War: When Peaceful Revision Failed. By David L. Hoggan
You won’t want to put the book (or audio) down … that’s just laying down some historical background.
This history provides much context as to why, following the death of Pilsudski, Beck (in particular) was so belligerent and chauvinistic with regards to his vision for a renewed Poland as THE great central European state, and hence why he was so easily seduced by promises from the warmongering Halifax et al. Beck actually thought ’Britain’ would back Poland up in refusing to negotiate peacefully with Hitler over Danzig, and that he could play the Soviet Bolsheviks off against National Socialist Germany. He wanted to retain Danzig as a key to developing Poland as a naval power and insisted that Poland be given ‘rights’ to all of Germany’s pre-WWI colonial trading posts.
Great article. I live in Portugal and unfortunately all the information we have available is censured by American and European puppets...you have to dig hard to find the " other side of the mirror". So thank you for your work. It will help me to understand what is going on.
PS. We have some Dutch Tweets daily too. They can all be translated to English on the website or via Twitter/Google Translate or YouTube Subtitle translate.
A brilliantly written article. You are one of the first, if not "the" first "westerner", to understand at the same time the workings of the current leviathan overlord, AND having an understanding of Europe and it's people. I say that as a son of a German father and a Belarusian/Bielorussian mother. Thank you.
You have left the "western" bubble, and widened your view of the world. But it comes at a price, I understand. Thank you for sharing your insight on the "East" (of Europe, in this case) with your readers.
I have never been in any bubble I think. That's an aspect of my particular form of ASD. The psychiatrist I went to in my teens to learn how to communicate told me that not being in a bubble at least gave me greater freedom of choice. That could be a blessing or a curse.

Sure, interested to hear what Gonzalo had to say the past three days :)
Am glad CRP (Coach Red Pill as those of us who followed him from the beginning) is still alive.
His commentary since the start of this conflict is spot on; as is his understanding of the historical context
Our news media is a joke. Am just glad we live in an age where social media bypasses the bullshit we are fed on corporate tv

A good comment that has caused me to do some more homework (sigggggggggghhhh). I need to get back to you on this when I know more. Thanks.

No, they don't hate Russians because they are told to. They hate them because their parents and friends hate them.

You will notice I replied to the Dentist about your excellent historical post. I think you and I are both correct in different ways. As ever, thanks.
Same question as what does the ordinary Brit or Yank think of all this? The insanity gripping D.C. and London grips Warsaw :

Very astute (my bold) :

Strangely Italy had tried a new treaty idea, which looked like Minsk III.
Not likely France or Germany would agree with this - oh wait NordStream as bombed!
The Italian point of view is very interesting.

The philosopher Heidegger wrote that logic is a tool. It does not yield truth. Only certain results.
I will admit that this is more hope than analysis on my part. We'll see if the results pan out that way.
Analysis (I think someone said) is a slippery slope.One always leaves something out. It is best done in groups.
