Now into its second month, Israel’s war on Gaza has left the strip’s northern section in shambles and killed over 14,000 Palestinians, with the majority being women and children. While Israel is launching the attacks on Gaza, several Western powers are also involved in the assault behind the scenes. MintPress News takes a deep dive into the countries sustaining Israel’s war.

WHO IS SENDING ISRAEL WEAPONS?

Since Israel’s war on Gaza began in October, several rights groups have initiated legal proceedings regarding arms exports to Israel.

On Nov. 6, Palestinian human rights organizations, Al-Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights launched legal action in the Federal Court of Australia to access all arms export permits that have been granted to Israel since Oct.7.

“We know that hundreds of permits have been issued in recent years, but the Australian government keeps the basic details secret: what items are being exported, who is making them, what are they used for?,” Rawan Arraf, executive director of the Australian Centre for International Justice, whose organization is supporting the Palestinian groups’ application, said in a press release.“

Australia’s arms exports are shrouded in secrecy and have come under additional scrutiny after a Senate hearing in October found that 52 defense permits were granted to the Israeli government in 2023, with more than 350 being granted since 2017.

On Nov. 13, Palestinians sued United States President Joe Biden for failing to prevent genocide in Gaza and to stop the administration’s military and diplomatic support. Three days later the plaintiffs filed an urgent motion to immediately halt U.S. support for Israel.

“Palestinian children in Gaza are undoubtedly targets as repeated Israeli military offensives destroy their homes, schools, and neighborhoods, as Israeli forces use U.S.-made and funded weapons to kill them and their families with impunity,” Khaled Quzmar, general director at Defense for Children International – Palestine, and a plaintiff in the lawsuit, said in a press release.

Bloomberg revealed a U.S. Defense Department document entitled “Israel Senior Leader” requests, dating to late October, listing the weapons Israel is seeking for its ongoing war on Gaza. According to Bloomberg, the weapons arsenal is already being shipped. The arms are listed below:

  • 2,000 Hellfire missiles for Apache attack helicopters manufactured by U.S. weapons firm Lockheed Martin
  • 30mm chain gun ammunition for Apache attack helicopters manufactured by U.S. arms corporation General Dynamics
  • 57,000 155mm shells for artillery guns
  • 400 120mm mortars
  • PVS-14 night vision monoculars from U.S. manufacturer Night Vision Devices
  • M141 shoulder-fired bunker-busters
  • 75 Joint Light Tactical Vehicles, manufactured by U.S. firm Oshkosh Defense
  • More than 300 Tamir interceptors for Israel’s Iron Dome system, and made by U.S. arms manufacturer Raytheon

As previously reported by MintPress News, photos have shown that U.S.-manufactured weapons containing white phosphorus are being used in Israel’s assault on Gaza. These artillery shells were made by Pine Bluff Arsenal, an army facility based in Arkansas known for supplying white phosphorus ammunition. The U.S. army did not respond to requests verifying if Pine Bluff Arsenal artillery is being used in Gaza.

The U.S. has already sent over several arms shipments since the beginning of the war in October, as shown on the Israeli Ministry of Defense’s social media platforms.

On Telegram and LinkedIn, the Defense Ministry mentioned how its Mission to the U.S. based in New York City helped procure the arms and equipment.

Open-source data has also indicated Western military aircraft and warships in the Eastern Mediterranean region over the last month.

U.S. warships — the Dwight D. Eisenhower Carrier Strike Group and the Gerald R. Ford carrier strike groups — sailed to the Mediterranean in October to support Israel’s military. The Eisenhower carrier is last known to be in the Red Sea while the U.K.’s navy’s Argus ship is docked in Cyprus.

At least six German Air Force planes have arrived at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion airport in the last week along with two planes from the British Air Force and aircraft from the Polish Air Force and  U.S. Navy.

In the last month, military aircraft from France and Australia have also all traveled to Tel Aviv. Australia’s Defense Department acknowledged its in deployed aircraft to the region in press releases.

A press release from Oct. 27 stated:

The deployment of Australian aircraft and supporting Defence personnel is a precautionary measure to support whole-of-Australian Government contingency planning and delivery of support to Australian citizens and approved foreign nationals, in the region, if required.

The Czech Air Force landed at the Israeli Hatzerim Air Base on Oct. 22. Military aircraft from the U.S. and Italy landed at Israeli Netavim Air Base in the last month. And a U.S. Air Force plane arrived to the Israeli Tel Nof Air Base on Nov. 16.

Several British Air Force planes have traveled to Tel Aviv from the U.K.’s Akrotiri military base in Cyprus in the last week. A plane belonging to arms manufacturer BAE Systems also arrived to the airbase recently.

The aforementioned militaries did not respond to MintPress News’ requests for comment on why their aircraft landed in the region and what kind of cargo or personnel it was transporting. Only Australia’s Defense Department responded, referring MintPress News to its previous press releases on the matter.

While it remains unclear the exact kind and amount of equipment Western governments are sending to Israel during this time, activist groups have deemed these states complicit in Israel’s ongoing war against Gaza.

“Since 2018, Britain has approved arms exports to Israel worth at least £147 million (or roughly $183 million),” the U.K.-based Palestine Solidarity Campaign (PSC) said in a statement to MintPress News. “Because of the nature of Britain’s arms export licensing, the true value is likely to be substantially higher. This includes exports for military aircrafts, helicopters and drones. It also includes components for armored vehicles and bombs.”

“The British government is therefore providing material support for Israel’s relentless bombardment of the Gaza Strip,” PSC said.

According to U.K.-based Campaign Against Arms Trade, British companies provide 15% of the materials for the F35 stealth combat aircraft, which Israel is currently using to bomb Gaza. Suppliers for the F35 stealth fighter jets also include: U.S., Canada, Norway, Switzerland, Denmark, Australia, Belgium, Germany, Turkey, Italy, Netherlands, and France.

Lockheed Martin’s MLRS M270 rocket launcher, which was used inside Gaza for the first time since 2006, was built in Europe by an international consortium of companies from France, Germany, Italy, and the U.K.

The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute provided data on arms sales from Europe to Israel between 2013 to 2022 to EuroNews, showing Italy and Germany had supplied Israel’s military with weapons now being used on the ground in Gaza. It also said Germany had sent more than 1,000 tank engines to Israel. As of Nov. 2, Germany’s government has exported $323 million in arms to Israel — nearly 10 times more than it sent to Israel last year.

During a NATO meeting in Brussels in October, German Defense Minister Boris Pistorius confirmed that Israel was also requesting munitions for its navy.

“We will discuss with the Israelis how exactly that will now proceed,” Pistorius said, suggesting the weapons pipeline to Israel may increase.“

WHO IS SENDING TROOPS?

Media reports have suggested that foreign soldiers are assisting in Israel’s current war operations.

Spanish newspaper, El Mundo, revealed that a Spanish mercenary is assisting Israeli forces in Gaza. Pedro Diaz Flores has been pictured there with the Israeli occupation forces. He previously fought in Ukraine, having become involved in the war through the neo-Nazi Azov Brigade.

“So I came for economy, for money. They pay very well, they offer good equipment and the work is calm. It is 3,900 euros [$4,187] per week, complementary missions aside,” Flores told El Mundo.

In October, British newspaper Socialist Worker — along with other publications — received an “advisory notice from the Defence and Security Media Advisory Committee to not publish information related to British special forces operating in the Middle East.

“Reports have started to appear in some publications claiming that UK Special Forces have deployed to sensitive areas of the Middle East and then linking that deployment to hostage rescue/evacuation operations,” the D-notice said.

The Socialist Worker noted how the Daily Mail reported that the U.K.’s Special Air Service is on “standby in Cyprus” to rescue British hostages held captive in Gaza.

Additionally, Palestinians in Gaza have disclosed they’ve encountered soldiers with American flags on their uniforms. In the below video clip from Quds News Network, a Palestinian man tells an Al Jazeera reporter that his brother spoke in English to a male soldier donning an American flag on his uniform while trying to flee the strip. These claims remain unsubstantiated and it’s possible that soldiers with dual Israeli-U.S. citizenship are wearing an American flag patch without the Israeli military’s permission.

Forward Observations, a volunteer group founded by former U.S. infantry soldier Derrick Bales, who fought in Afghanistan, has posted footage from Gaza and southern Israel on social media.

In one Instagram post, Forward Observations is seen in Be’eri, a community attacked by Hamas on Oct. 7, being guided by members of the Israeli military’s Lotar unit which responded to the violence.

According to Foreign Policy, Forward Observations began as a lifestyle brand selling tactical gear. Then, the group traveled to Ukraine, where it started sourcing medical supplies, gear, and money for Ukrainian soldiers. Bales has been criticized for associating with Vadim Lapaev, a member of the far-right Azov Battalion. He apologized for his connections to Lapaev but said the brigade isn’t as radical as alleged.

Forward Observations did not respond to MintPress News’ inquiries to verify if its personnel are indeed in Israel and what it’s doing there.

U.S. Department of Defense official (DoD), Christopher P. Maier, told The New York Times this month that U.S. special operations forces are stationed in Israel and “actively helping the Israelis” with various efforts including to “identify hostages, including American hostages.”

While Maier declined to tell the Times how many Special Forces are currently in Israel, former Pentagon adviser, Douglas MacGregor, said in a television news interview that 2,000 Marines and 2,000 Special Forces have been deployed to the region. MacGregor also mentioned how U.S. Special Forces embedded with Israeli Special Forces entered the Gaza Strip in October to carry out reconnaissance but were then ambushed and suffered grave casualties.

On the television program Palestine Declassified, British sociologist David Miller told host Chris Williamson, a former U.K. parliament member, that this operation is “an indication that the American soldiers are directly involved in confronting the resistance.”

And a White House photo shared on Instagram and then subsequently deleted shows President Joe Biden meeting with members of the Delta Force during his Oct. 18 visit to Israel. A senior Arab source familiar with the Palestinian groups in Gaza told Middle East Eye — before Israel’s ground invasion — that Palestinians expected Israel to flood Hamas tunnels with a kind of nerve gas or chemical weapon under the supervision of U.S. Delta Force commandos. Israel has begun its ground campaign into Gaza, but there have been no reports of nerve agents being used as of yet.

Despite these reports, the Pentagon told MintPress News “the U.S. has no boots on the ground in Israel.”

So as Western populations continue to flood the streets for Palestine, their governments appear to be supporting the aggressor.

Child Sex Trafficking From Ukraine: Fact, Fiction and Extrapolation

Posted on July 18, 2023 by Zara Ali

https://strategic-culture.org/news/2023/07/15/child-sex-trafficking-from-ukraine-fact-fiction-and-extrapolation/#:~:text=Child%20Sex%20Trafficking%20From%20Ukraine%3A%20Fact%2C%20Fiction%20and%20Extrapolation

Declan Hayes

Westwards child sex trafficking is a much more serious issue than are the trumped-up charges NATO laid against Russian President Putin.

In examining the issue of child sex trafficking from Ukraine, this article is divided into seven parts. We first place the allegations NATO raised against Russian authorities into our overall analytical framework and then argue that those NATO charges should be dismissed as cheap, albeit predictable propaganda. We next look at overall trends in child sex trafficking not only in Ukraine but globally as well. Finally, we look at the case of sex trafficking Ukrainian children into both Britain and Ireland as important microcosms of overall Ukrainian patterns before making a number of important caveats, conclusions and recommendations for further analysis and action.

Questioning Russians

The CIA and MI6, working through their agents in the International Criminal Court, have charged two Russian citizens, President Vladimir Putin and Maria Lvova-Belova, Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, with the apparent war crime of removing thousands of children from the regions of Eastern Ukraine and South-Western Russian where fighting over the region’s future has most intense.

As President Putin is far and away NATO’s primary bête noir, we are best generally ignoring the charges against him for the sake of analysis, as to do otherwise would only further weaponise NATO’s stupidity regarding such matters.

For our purposes, Maria Lvova-Belova is far more important. Lvova-Belova stands accused by NATO’s agents of the mass abduction of as many as 19,544 Ukrainian children, if we accept the figures of MI6 agent Zelensky’s regime.

Lvova-Belova’s ICC arrest warrant says she is accused of bearing “individual criminal responsibility” for the “unlawful deportation and transfer of children” from Ukraine to the Russian Federation.

Although those appear to be serious charges, it must be stressed that neither Lvova-Belova nor Putin, nor anybody else in a position of authority in Russia, denies that large numbers of children were evacuated from areas like Mariupol, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv during the course of the conflict and that those children were placed in appropriate holding camps throughout the Russian Federation from Crimea in the west to Siberia in the east.

As seasoned American combat veteran Colonel Douglas Macgregor has stated that he has never seen or experienced battles as intense as those now being waged between Russia and NATO’s Ukrainian proxies, few could reasonably argue that getting women and children out of the line of fire was not the right thing to do.

In an interview she freely gave with NATO’s VICE outlet, Lvova-Belova makes precisely that point, that she was helping get the children out of the line of fire. And she further makes the point that, as she is a mother (married to a Russian Orthodox Church priest, with whom she bore five biological and adopted a further eighteen children, one of whom was a displaced 15-year-old boy from Mariupol), she is simply not hard-wired that way.

Although both VICE and the pro NATO Moscow Times (which the Vatican, incidentally regards as an excellent source on Russia) make a great deal of that, my reading of her action is that both Lvova-Belova and her husband are into helping children and, if the situation was otherwise, if Lvova-Belova had more sinister motives, then both she and Putin would be extremely stupid for making her so vulnerable to such charges.

The fact of the matter is there is a terrible war raging, for reasons that do not currently concern us, around Mariupol, Kherson, Zaporizhzhia, and Kharkiv and Lvova-Belova is to be unequivocally praised for helping to evacuate children from those kill zones.

Although VICE claims that the children evacuated to Russia were beaten for expressing support for MI6 agent Zelensky’s regime that, to me, sounds suspect. Although the children would naturally be homesick, I would doubt that they, Russian speakers in the main, had any hard and fast opinions about MI6 agent Zelensky’s role in their plight and, even if they did, that they would openly and repeatedly express them. As MI6 seems to be able to assassinate Russian civilians almost at will, it seems extremely suspect that they cannot provide more credible reports on those Russian camps housing the displaced children.

If one wants to get to the bottom of this, then professionally querying Lvova-Belova would be most beneficial. Yet, when she recently gave evidence to the U.N, ambassadors from from the United States, Britain, Albania and Malta boycotted the U.N. Security Council meeting, sending low-level diplomats instead. Instead of taking their opportunity to get their top inquisitors to pummel Lvova-Belova, NATO sent only token observers and thereby gave the impression it is the scalps of Putin and Lvova-Belova, rather than the truth, these chancers desire.

U.S. Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield, who has a track record of making wild, unfounded and defamatory allegations, told reporters before the session that the United States strongly opposed the briefing and joined with their British toadies in blocking the United Nations from outside broadcast of the meeting. As Thomas-Greenfield said that Lvova-Belova should not be allowed “to have an international podium to spread disinformation and to try to defend her horrible actions that are taking place in Ukraine”, that confirms Thomas-Greenfield does not, in true American diplomatic fashion, seek the truth. She is, like so many former U.S. Ambassadors to the United Nations before her, a thundering disgrace.

Thus, leaving aside that the United States and its toadies have, as with their genocide campaign in Iraq, been the main purveyors of “disinformation” at the United Nations, her actions show that it is the United States and her British toady that are yet again obfuscating the truth. If Lvova-Belova was the wrong-doer, the Anglo-Saxons had a golden opportunity to corner both her and President Putin but they chose not to, thereby implying they know there is neither smoke nor fire in their slurs. Therefore, as regards the Russkiys, case dismissed.

Go West, Young Child

Whatever questions Putin and Lvova-Belova might have to answer, they pale in comparison to what their accusers must account for. Back in 2022, UNICEF reported that the Ukrainian conflict was creating a child refugee almost every second that, as 90% of those refugees were women and children, there was a considerable risk of child trafficking, most particularly at the Polish border and that, echoing Macgregor’s earlier statement, Mariupol was a hell on earth that women and children had to immediately abandon to preserve life and limb.

NATO’s CNN network not only repeats those child trafficking concerns in its report from Moldova but goes on to say that the United States was scathing about Moldova’s own track record on child trafficking even before the Ukrainian war began and that relevant officials had good reason to be dubious of all efforts, perhaps including such as these, to help refugees.

The United Nations Office On Drugs And Crime (UNOCD) now predicts a 5% increase in detected Ukrainian human trafficking victims for 2023 and a staggering 5.6 million Ukrainian asylum applications in Europe. Allied to that, UNHCR and UNICEF are making major contingency plans to try to alleviate child trafficking from Ukraine which, as we previously reported and, as UNHCR’s Gilian Triggs has also affirmed, has a long track record that predates this conflict in such criminality. As the European Commission has also admitted that Ukrainian children fleeing westwards are at grave risk from traffickers, there is, sadly, considerable smoke and fire when we look at the fate of those fleeing Westwards.

Sound of Freedom’s Porta Parties

Having established that the United Nations and similar reputable bodies are concerned about Ukrainian women and children being trafficked into the West’s flesh markets, let’s briefly delve into that market, whilst holding our noses because, even though this gets very sordid very quickly, we must go down into the sewers after them to root them out.

Sound of Freedom is a 2023 movie based on real-life stories where American agents rescue Colombian children being trafficked to the United States. Although the movie has been criticised for being a conspiracy theory (sic), this link suggests darker reasons for that blanket criticism. Simply put, trafficking is a huge and lucrative business, and if Sound of Freedom helps the fight to stop it, NATO should be praising the movie, not criticising it.

Although the child sex trafficking industry, of which Ukrainian women and children are, along with countless others, mere commodities, stretches from this Malawi refugee camp and these U.S. run scam operations in Ghana to the meat markets of Los Angeles’ Figueroa Street, the Middle East is of particular importance.

As part of MI6’s campaign to destroy the secular Syrian Arab Republic, impoverished Syrian women and children suffered the most horrible of abuses at the hands of Gulf state sex tourists in the refugee camps of Jordan, which has long been a key MI6 and CIA hub.

Back home in Blighty, notorious Saudi extremist Sheikh Muhammed al-Arefe was allowed tour England’s green and pleasant land to tell pubescent British schoolgirls it was their religious duty to do sex jihad in Syria and to declare that jihadists gang raping pre pubescent Syrian girls was a good and holy thing to do. Having met some of their Syrian victims and having been persecuted by MI6 in England for directly opposing Al-Arefe in particular and his Muslim Brotherhood and MI6 cronies in general, I have, as you can imagine, well-formed views on all of this, just as I have on ISIS bride Shamima Begum, who was trafficked to the ISIS Caliphate by MI6 and their Canadian Intelligence sidekicks, who are no doubt also implicated in Dubai’s notorious porta parties.

To start getting up to speed on Dubai’s porta parties, you can watch videos discussing them here. In essence, they involve Middle Easterners contacting Instagram “influencers” to visit Dubai on all expenses trips where, in return for signing non-disclosure agreements and fulfilling their side of the “contract”, they will be paid tens of thousands of dollars for a few days’ work, which might involve getting repeatedly gang raped and having sex with camels or any other exotic animals that tickle their customers’ warped fancy.

Although the various reports make clear that many of these influencers often commit suicide after fulfilling their side of the “deal”, the big demand for “easy money” and the luxury product trinkets such money can buy mean there is no shortage of women, girls or young boys to satiate the needs of those cash rich criminals. Only a fool would believe that Ukrainians are not being groomed for such services.

MI6 Agent Volodymyr Zelensky

Former American Intelligence asset Scott Ritter claims, in this very important video, that Ukrainian President Zelensky is a British MI6 agent and that his handler is MI6 boss Richard Moore, who attended the Vatican meeting Zelensky used to systematically insult Pope Francis and the over one billion members of the Latin Catholic and allied churches. Moore, Ritter alleges, attended that papal meeting and, more importantly, the subsequent meeting with British agent Archbishop Paul Gallagher who, along with Zelensky’s British Praetorian Guard, is discussed at length from 32:17 onwards in Ritter’s video.

Although Ritter’s incendiary claims need a lot of corroborating evidence, they are fully in line with my own previous articles and with British Intelligence’s track record on child sex honeytraps, as evidenced by the Jeffrey Epstein paedophile ring, the Jimmy Savile, Max Clifford, Rolf Harris, Gary Glitter, Lord Mountbatten, Kincora Boys’ Home and similar scandals, where then MI6 boss Sir Maurice Oldfield was directly implicated.

The important point being made here is that, as British Intelligence is leading this NATO war against Russia and as British Intelligence are NATO’s masters of the dark arts and, as British Intelligence has a vast network of enablers who could put trafficked Ukrainian women and children to work at porta parties “for King and country”, all of those concerned for the welfare of trafficked Ukrainian women and children should be concerned about the involvement of Moore, Gallagher and other reprobates in this entire saga.

Cesspit Ireland

Because of Ireland’s relatively small size and its government’s eagerness to appease its Anglo Saxon masters, it makes an insightful case study in child trafficking in general and from Ukraine in particular.

Following Russia’s entry into the Ukrainian Civil War, MI5’s Irish assets went into overdrive. As part of that process, unvetted Ukrainians, women and children in the main, were brought here by the plane full and given work visas, free houses, free food, medical services, pocket money and accommodation to such an extent that they live better than do most Irish working class people.

This human tidal wave put a huge strain not only on the Exchequer but also on our hotels, almost all of which have free-loading Ukrainians taking up one or more floors, as well as on TUSLA, our child protection agency which is, at the best of times, not fit for purpose.

Here is a February 2023 report saying that hundreds of undocumented Ukrainian and other child refugees are under the care of Children Minister Roderic O’Gorman, who is infinitely much more controversial than Russia’s Maria Lvova-Belova. Here is a May 2022 government media report, delighted that almost 100 unaccompanied Ukrainian children have been foisted on the remote county of Mayo, to which we shall shortly return.

Here is a June 2023 report, commenting on this damning university report, that children, Ukrainians included, are being trafficked from care centres to hotels for nefarious sexual purposes. And here is Irish MP Mattie McGrath being the sole voice in the Irish Parliament objecting to this trade in Ukrainian flesh.

It is important to note the role hotels play in all of this, as almost all of them have large concentrations of Ukrainians and other fake refugee free loaders and transient foreign prostitutes staying in them. Because there are, in other words, groups of unvetted people on the margins of society and the law staying in those hotels, it is reasonable to assume that the criminally minded and organised amongst them might very well be involved in child trafficking.

Although Ireland’s police force has been very quiet on this, that silence would be due to censorship by their political overlords, who would consider any raids on Ireland’s porta parties to be showing support for Putin and Lvova-Belova rather than the victims of their own inhumanity.

Take Me Home to Mayo

Because we all have to emulate Zelensky and play for Team MI6, we cannot expect the mainstream media or mainstream politicians to raise these matters and nor, given the constraints of time, can we ourselves be expected to raid the hotels where these abuses are being perpetrated. That being so, we turn to this May 2022 blog post, which comments on the Candle of Grace NGO flying hundreds of undocumented Ukrainians, 59 children in their midst, to the wilds of Mayo with the collusion of controversial Child Minister Roderic O’Gorman.

The author first discusses Candle of Grace and then questions why it bypassed the normal channels, why convicted Belarusian criminal Prof. Yury Bandazhevsky is involved in this caper, why he is living in Mayo rather than in a more appropriate urban setting to pursue his supposed academic interests in radiation sickness and the similarities this entire caper has with the case of Hillary Clinton confidante Laura Sislby who was caught red-handed at the Haitian border smuggling a cash crop of 33 children out of Haiti.

The article suggests that Candle of Grace’s logos, as seen on its Facebook page, are Satanic, an interesting point as Ritter makes the same allegation at 34:30 in this video regarding the present MI6 agent Zelensky lumbered Pope Francis with. Although the article raises important alarms regarding the possible trafficking to Mayo (and elsewhere?) of those children, Candle of Grace raises other alarms analogous to those al-Arefe and the Muslim Brotherhood previously raised regarding MI6’s war on Syria.

Following the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, a large number of NGOs were formed in Ireland, the most high-profile of which was Adi Roche’s Chernobyl Children International. The situation now would appear to be that there is a plethora of outfits like Candle of Grace whose tentacles stretch not just throughout Mayo but to Kerry, Dublin, Abakan (in Russia), Wexford and many other places in Ireland as well, and that questionable figures like Prof Yury Bandazhevsky are centre stage in these operations. As is, perhaps, MI6 agent Zelensky himself, who performed his porno routine in Drogheda which is a key Irish hub for Ukraine’s MI6-aligned right wing militias.

Caveats, Conclusions & Recommendations

This article has argued that, based on its unenviable track record and the evidence of reputable international bodies, Westwards child sex trafficking is a much more serious issue than are the trumped-up charges NATO laid against Russian President Putin and Russia’s Commissioner for Children’s Rights, Maria Lvova-Belova, whom the Anglo-Saxons and their Albanian and Maltese lackeys had neither the courage nor the common sense to question.

The article maintains that the opaque world in which Ukrainian-aligned NGOs and the governments, intelligence agencies and British Church figures aligned to them operate facilitate, perhaps even by design, the procurement of trafficked Ukrainian women and children into the white slave trade, Dubai’s notorious porta parties included.

Although much of this article, like all policy-making suggestions, must be cautiously speculative, we believe that the rights of Ukraine’s most at-risk women and children can only be advanced by, on the one hand, countries like China, Belarus and Russia raising their cause in the appropriate international fora and, on the other, by groups like the Irish academics cited above raising their concerns and suspicions to the relevant police authorities and for those police forces to be made take the appropriate actions against any NGOs, clerics or politicians, no matter how well-connected they may be, so that they may pay in full for these most egregious of all crimes against all trafficked women and children, especially, in this case, those from MI6 agent Zelensky’s Ukraine.

Mr. Prigozhin Goes to Washington

Posted on July 4, 2023 by uprootedpalestinians

The glee that greeted the news that Yevgeny Prigozhin, Russian oligarch and the titular head of the Wagner Group, had gone rogue might have been unseemly if the American political establishment were capable of shame. It isn’t. That alleged adults would hope for the dissolution of Russia, and the catastrophic social consequences that would follow, requires an ignorance of history that would be heroic if it were consciously chosen. The truism that people don’t know what they don’t know has particular relevance for the US in the current political moment.

The details of the story are reasonably well known by now and won’t be restated here except where relevant. Missing from Western press accounts since Russia launched its SMO (Special Military Operation) is the actual history that led to the conflict. On his way to Rostov-on-Don Prigozhin stepped into this absence with a series of anti-historical claims regarding the start of the war, all while asserting his allegiance to Vladimir Putin. Knowing nothing about the war outside of the talking points handed it by the Biden administration, the American press had a collective wargasm at the sight of a Russian channeling CIA talking points.

As fresh as current events may ‘feel,’ the US has been interfering in the internal affairs of Russia for well over a century. Racist crank and Progressive fascist Woodrow Wilson created the Committee on Public Information to sell WWI to the American people. As the war was winding down, Wilson deployed the American Expeditionary Force to Russia to reverse the Bolshevik Revolution. Ironically (not), the Brits and French also sent Expeditionary Forces toward this same end. The point: most of the anti-Russian West currently supporting the NATO proxy war in Ukraine has been at it since the early twentieth century.

Graph: in this simplified hypothetical based on current differences between US and Russian military spending, the ratio of US to Russian spending in Year 1 is 10:1, while the dollar amount of the difference is $90 ($100 – $10) . By Year 10, the ratio remains the same (10:1), while the cumulative dollar difference has risen to $900. The US spent $1,000 on its military while the Russians spent $100. Applying market logic (value = expenditure), the US has produced ten times as much ordinance and materiel as the Russian have. And yet Russia is a military threat? Source: Urie.

The political posturing around Prigozhin’s tour of Rostov-on-Don has largely been a restatement of the national-security-state-informed views of the regular consumers of American state propaganda. As evidenced by Prigozhin’s now well-censored statements on the internet, he spouted Biden administration talking points regarding the causes of the war (‘unprovoked’), interspersed with claims that the Russian military leadership is more interested in earning medals than with winning wars.

“Just before World War I ended, in 1918, an American force of seven thousand landed at Vladivostok as part of an Allied intervention in Russia and remained until early 1920. Five thousand more troops were landed at Archangel, another Russian port, also as part of an Allied expeditionary force, and stayed for almost a year. The State Department told Congress: “All these operations were to offset effects of the Bolshevik revolution in Russia.”” Howard Zinn, A People’s History of the United States

The video of Prigozhin contradicting the historical events that Russian President Vladimir Putin cited as the proximate cause for Russia’s SMO (Special Military Operation) appears to have been disappeared from the internet. In opposition to OSCE maps of Ukrainian forces amassed at the border of Donbas in January 2022 as they shelled ethnic Russian Ukrainians, Prigozhin instead stated that Mr. Putin, whose claims were supported by the maps, was lying. To be clear, the OSCE is an EU institution with no ties to the Russian state.

News that ‘US spy agencies’ had briefed Congress on Prigozhin’s plans well before he stumbled back into Russia indicates foreknowledge. With US President Joe Biden stating that the US played no role in the rebellion, his audience has been reduced to the rapidly shrinking number of citizens of the world who find his views interesting, plausible, or relevant. Recent (alleged) leaks of Pentagon, DoD, and intelligence agency documents by Jack Teixeira put a lie to the Biden administration’s happy talk regarding Ukrainian military prowess.

Teixeira’s leaks revealed a much grimmer view of the war up to the present, as well as raising substantive questions regarding Ukraine’s prospects for the Spring / Summer ‘surge.’ In fact, the surge was halted immediately prior to Prigozhin’s holiday in Russia. Whether this represents abject failure on the part of the Ukrainians, the pause that refreshes, or anticipation of Prigozhin’s rebellion, has not been disclosed.

Described as an attempted ‘coup’ in the American press, Prigozhin subsequently claimed that that wasn’t the motive for his actions. Whether this is true, or he got cold feet when the leading institutions of the Russian state rallied around Vladimir Putin, is a question for the history books. That US intelligence agencies had foreknowledge of Prigozhin’s actions gives them a ‘Maidan’ feel. That most Americans have no knowledge that the US ousted the duly elected president of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych, in a US-led coup in 2013 – 2014, helps explain American support for the war.

Retired US Colonel Douglas MacGregor, a frequent and insightful commentator on events in Ukraine, is convinced that Prigozhin’s motives had little to do with a coup attempt. MacGregor’s theory is that the Russian military leadership, including Prigozhin, is frustrated with the slow pace of the war, particularly following the apparent implosion of the Ukrainian ‘surge.’ However, foreknowledge by US intelligence agencies, combined with the specifics of Prigozhin’s rant regarding the American starting point for the war, suggests that there is more to the story.

Prigozhin challenged the history of the war in terms that came straight from CIA talking points. The Russian explanation since the winter of 2021 has been 1) the war started with the American-led coup in Ukraine in 2013 – 2014, that in turn led to 2) and eight-year civil war in Ukraine in which 3) tens of thousands of ethnic Russian Ukrainians were slaughtered by the Banderite right (a.k.a. Nazis) supported by the US. Using maps from the OSCE, the Russians concluded that the Ukrainians were about to launch a major offensive against ethnic Russian Ukrainians in Donbass.

The Americans have maintained that the Russian offensive in Ukraine was ‘unprovoked,’ as in bearing no relation to the 2013 – 2014 US led coup there, the subsequent civil war, or the three-plus decades of the US moving NATO troops and weapons up to Russia’s border against repeated requests from the Russians not to do so. This Western anti-history is what Yevgeny Prigozhin was shouting when he announced his move of Wagner Group troops into Russia. Facts that were widely considered true before the SMO was launched are now verboten in the US.

Colonel MacGregor’s view that Prigozhin is frustrated with the restrained pace of the Russian military offensive in Ukraine doesn’t seem a complete explanation of recent events. Firstly, most Americans have no idea that the Russian pace has been restrained. To the extent there has been opposition to the war inside Russia, a substantial portion of it comes from the fact that the Ukrainian military and political leadership still exist in any incarnate form. ‘Shock and awe’ are how the Americans destroy a nation.

Unless Prigozhin is claiming that the OSCE is serving Russia’s war propaganda interests with its maps— a low probability endeavor, then he was giving a pledge of allegiance to the US / NATO / Ukraine war effort with his shouted announcement of the Wagner Group’s move into Russia. This would help explain the foreknowledge of his actions by Western intelligence agencies. It also contradicts US President Joe Biden’s wide-eyed insistence that the US was not in league with Prigozhin.

However, the Russians aren’t the intended audience for Biden’s rambling incoherence. ‘The world,’ meaning the governments that in theory represent the interests of 80% of the world’s population, supported Russia when Prigozhin went on summer holiday, and they still do today. This puts the incoherence of the American liberal conceit that they (liberals) represent the interests of the world’s downtrodden into perspective. The Global South supports Russia, not the US. Why would this be the case if Americans are regarded as liberators abroad?

Parallels between Joe Biden and Woodrow Wilson are mounting. Both are / were liberal technocrats who institutionalized racist and fascist / repressive policies while proclaiming themselves to be the saviors of humanity through ill-advised wars. WWI lit the world on fire. Colonel MacGregor argues, with some justification, that there wouldn’t have been a Bolshevik Revolution without massive Russian losses in WWI. Sergei Eisenstein’s ‘Battleship Potemkin’ brings some of these tensions to light.

“Oceania was at war with Eurasia: therefore Oceania had always been at war with Eurasia. The enemy of the moment always represented absolute evil, and it followed that any past or future agreement with him was impossible.” George Orwell, 1984

So again, concern inside Russia over the slow pace of the war contradicts everything that Americans have been told about it. While recent leaks of DoD and intelligence agency documents suggest that the lives of hundreds of thousands of Ukrainian conscripts have been lost to date, CNN and the New York Times have gone full-Orwell. American development economist Jeffrey Sachs, who was invited by the State Department to visit Ukraine during the Maidan ‘uprising,’ explains why and how it was a US sponsored coup here.

More to the point, a large contingent of American liberals have argued for eighteen months that the war in Ukraine should continue until Ukraine is victorious. This argument means one thing if the Ukrainians are winning the war, and quite another if they aren’t. The (alleged) Teixeira leaks reveal 1) that what American officials have been saying publicly about the progress of the war is contradicted by what they say about it in private, and 2) that the official assessment has it that things are going quite poorly for Ukraine.

This puts American supporters of the war in the position of volunteering Ukrainians to die for a war that they (the Americans) don’t understand. And yet there is no accountability. The proverbial ‘you’ had your facts wrong and large numbers of Ukrainian conscripts died as a result. But this is America. ‘You’ get promoted for having your facts wrong. A lot of people died as a result. However, as word from the Global South has it, the Lilliputians are rebelling.

An institutional problem in the US is that the domestic forces that instigated and continue to support the war risk losing power if the public turns against it. With Joe Biden representing the interests of the MIC (Military-Industrial Complex), Wall Street, the technology industry, and US-based oil and gas industry, the fear is that fake anti-war Republicans can pull a Nixon and shift the war, and with it, donor support, from Democrat to Republican hands. Unfortunately for both the self-styled heroes and villains in this scenario, Ukraine is losing the war.

What should put the fear of Buddha, Yahweh, God, into actual Americans, as opposed to the American political class, is the sanguine discourse being used to assert that nuclear wars are winnable. Go back and read the logic of American nuclear arms production from the 1950s – 1970s and you find talk of nuclear weapons being ‘cheap’ to produce relative to the cost of conventional military ordnance. That low stocks of non-nuclear ordnance could create a choice between surrendering or using nuclear weapons when adverse conditions arise suggests that, with NATO stocks running low, the adult children in the Biden administration could roll-the-dice by using nukes.

Moreover, with the MIC running US foreign policy, the temptation to use the war to sell newer ‘tactical’ nuclear weapons to an international clientele by demonstrating them on the battlefield is likely strong. The same Alfred E. Neumanesque mindset that claimed that Americans would be greeted as liberators when they invaded Iraq in 2003 imagines that the Russians aren’t serious about their nuclear red lines. The fake history of the Cuban Missile Crisis that Americans have been fed represents the MIC standard. By 1962 the Americans had installed first-strike nuclear weapons within miles of Russia (USSR) as they pretended to be shocked that the Soviets would do the same.

Likewise, much of the violence attributed to the Bolsheviks following the Bolshevik Revolution was spillover from WWI sweeping Eastern Europe and the Baltic states. WWI lasted from 1914 – 1918, while the Bolshevik Revolution took place in 1917, but wasn’t settled until 1922, when the (Soviet) Civil War ended. Again, the Americans, Brits, and French sent standing armies to reverse the Bolshevik victory in order to install a liberal, Western-friendly, government that would guarantee the property of Western investors in the USSR following the Revolution.

The Americans lost 117,000 troops in WWI while the Russians lost five and one-half million. The extreme brutality of WWII was a product of residual animosities from WWI. The Holocaust, for which German Nazis were blamed, was replicated across Eastern Europe and the Baltic states. To be clear, these other Holocausts were contemporaneous with the Nazi Holocaust, not inspired by it. While pogroms inspired by European anti-Semitism existed prior to the rise of the Nazis, conflation of Bolshevism with Judaism tied WWII to capitalist imperialism.

“Thousands of Nazis—from concentration camp guards to high-level officers in the Third Reich—came to the United States after World War II and quietly settled into new lives. They had little trouble getting in. With scant scrutiny, many gained entry on their own as self-styled war “refugees,” their pasts easily disguised and their war crimes soon forgotten. But some had help and protection: from the United States government. The CIA, the FBI, and the military all put Hitler’s minions to work as spies, intelligence assets and leading scientists and engineers, whitewashing their histories.” Eric Lichtblau, The New York Times.

Forgotten today is that many Westerners at the time, particularly amongst the elites, were virulently anti-Semitic. Former New York Times reporter Eric Lichtblau, the author of The Nazis Next Door, details the casual anti-Semitism that informed US General George Patton’s worldview here. In contemporaneous political and public policy circles inside the US, the Nazis were viewed more as anti-communist fellow-travelers than the genocidal maniacs they are viewed as today. Once selective history is set to the side, fellow-travelers seems the more plausible interpretation.

The neo-Realist ‘Great Powers’ nonsense that is popular again since the launch of the Russian SMO is a ‘political’ exposition of ideas and events that found their basis in imperial economic competition. Consider: Joe Biden’s explanation of the US interest in Ukraine is first and foremost economic— to prevent Russia from controlling Europe through European dependence on Russian oil and gas. To be clear, Biden has no problem with the idea of economic dependence. His problem is with a Russian role in it.

Consider: economic dependence is an unexplained phenomenon in capitalist economics because it implies coercive power. Before the launch of Russia’s SMO, Russia was selling its oil and gas to Europe at a subsidized price, making it more attractive to European industry, while consigning said industries to the vagaries of Russian national interests. Paying a market price for oil and gas would raise costs for European industry, either crimping profits or making European products more expensive on world markets (also crimping profits). This gave the Russian state coercive power over European states through ‘their’ industries.

Recent US Presidents understood this, hence the unity of Donald Trump and Joe Biden acting to prevent the Russians from supplying Europe with Russian oil and gas. But what happened to the ‘freedom’ to purchase goods and services, including Russian oil and gas, from whomever one cares to? In American liberal logic, Ukraine has the ‘right’ to associate with NATO if it cares to, just like the Germans and French have (had) the ‘right’ to buy discounted oil and gas from Russia. The ‘fascist’ response was to blow up the pipeline— a.k.a. Nord Stream I and Nord Stream II.

While this isn’t the place for a full-blown exposition of the hypocrisies and paradoxes of capitalism, what the US is doing abroad isn’t capitalism as it is explained by its theoreticians. But it is capitalism as explained by Marxists. Capitalist imperialism is a corporate-state amalgam that exists to send state resources abroad for the benefit of nominally capitalist enterprises at home. An alternative name for this capitalist imperialism is fascism. The political-theoretical difference between state-capitalism and fascism lies in who it is that controls the state.

This Marxist view of capitalism placed the Germans as imperial competitors of the US in both World Wars. This is quite different from the current moral view of the Nazis as reprehensible human beings. From Eric Lichtblau’s reporting (above), moral clarity regarding the Nazis emerged for the Americans in proportion to the number of anti-Semitic Americans from the WWII era who have died off. That Joe Biden represents the moral vanguard of the American liberal class would be ironic if it weren’t so pathetic.

With the most expensive military in the world by a factor of ten, one might imagine that the US would be well-supplied with armaments. According to Colonel MacGregor, this isn’t the case. MacGregor laid out some fair portion of the path from an insufficient supply of conventional weapons to the use of nuclear weapons by the Americans. The obvious question of where the world’s most expensive military is spending its money seems relevant here. While speculation can go far in developing an explanation, the threat of nuclear annihilation is the more pressing result.

With the Americans having refused to implement multiple peace agreements that have been signed between the Ukrainians and the Russians, the NATO proxy war in Ukraine is now an American war. And while the American liberals who support the war deserve whatever consequences might come their way, the rest of the world doesn’t. End the war now.
