#UkraineRussianWar

There are 3 main scenarios how this conflict could evolve going forward. Each of those scenario has certain probabilities of it occurring. Lets examine each one of them and their implications to the world in general:
Scenario 1 - (P:60%) #Ukarine & #Russia agree a ceasefire. Ukraine agrees to cede #Crimea and #Donbass to #Russia. #Putin withdraws #RussianArmy. #Europe over a period of time removes #sanctions. In a year, World becomes normal & everyone lives happily. Best outcome possible.
Scenario 2 - (P:30%) The conflict escalates. stalemate ensues. #Putin reaches #Dniper, takes over Kyiv. #Ukraine is bi-furcated in two - #EastUkraine under #Russian control, #WestUkraine aligned with #NATO. #SanctionsRussiaNow continue for long. #Europe consolidates with #USA

Umberto Eco's 14 Common Features of #Fascism (+a few more)

Famous Italian author Umberto Eco (Name of the Rose) grew up under Mussolini, & certainly knows what fascism looks like Image
The cult of tradition. “One has only to look at the syllabus of every fascist movement to find the major traditionalist thinkers. The Nazi gnosis was nourished by traditionalist, syncretistic, occult elements.” #Fascism Image
The rejection of modernism. “The Enlightenment, the Age of Reason, is seen as the beginning of modern depravity. In this sense Ur-Fascism can be defined as irrationalism.” #Fascism Image

“Mi esposo John vivió bajo una norma: el país primero. Somos republicanos, sí, pero sobre todo estadounidenses. Solo hay un candidato en esta carrera que defiende nuestros valores como nación, y ese es @JoeBiden”, escribió @cindymccain, viuda del senador #JohnMcCain.
Con este mensaje @cindymccain, quien sigue estando registrada como republicana, expresa su apoyo al candidato demócrata @JoeBiden. Su esposo, fallecido en 2018, siempre fue respetado por sus colegas independientemente del partido.

#Decision2020
Esta tarde durante un evento virtual, @JoeBiden dijo que la viuda del senador republicano, veterano de la guerra de #Vietnam, decidió apoyarlo luego de que una investigación periodística asegurara que #Trump llamó “perdedores” a los soldados caídos en combate.

This is sickening. Waiting for #trump supporters who claim to support #USMilitary to explain how they can continue to support a man who hates our #troops. @JoeBiden’s son #Beau served in #Iraq. @DrBiden has supported #militaryfamilies for years. #USMC #USN #USAF #BidenHarris2020
#Trump referred to former President #GeorgeHWBush as a “loser” for being shot down by the Japanese as a Navy pilot in #WorldWarII. #Bush flew 58 combat missions in the Pacific. He enlisted at 18. Trump enlisted never. history.com/news/george-hw… #SupportOurTroops #VoteBidenHarris
When #JohnMcCain died in 2018, #Trump became furious when he saw flags lowered to half-staff. “What the fuck are we doing that for? Guy was a fucking loser.” McCain was taken prisoner after flying his 23rd bombing mission over N.Vietnam. #Trump has flown a mission never.

Today I requested my absentee ballot for the #Ohio #DemocraticPrimary. It will be the first time I've ever voted for a #Democrat. The first vote that I ever cast was for #JohnMcCain in the primary for the 2008 #GOP primary at the age of 17, though I preferred #MittRomney...
I guess that's prophetic in a way, considering the #GOP and #Trump's treatment of both have been contributing factors towards my escape from the #Republican party.

Let me stress something right now. I am NOT a #Democrat. I am a #conservative through and through...
Before #Trump, I saw #conservatism and the #GOP as largely synonymous. I loved #RonaldReagan. I read National Review. I believed in small government, secure borders and a strong military. I was #Prolife to my very core. Guess what? I'm still in favor of all of that...

@RBReich You're still worried about Russia's ability to propagandize a few computer-illiterate swing voters?
Did it bother you that #ObamaBiden supported the #MaidanCoup along with #NeoNazis who are still influencing the government in Ukraine?
thefreethoughtproject.com/neonazis-ukrai… #JoeBiden
@RBReich Snipers who killed scores of protestors and policemen on Kiev’s Maidan Square in February 2014, triggered a “democratic revolution” that overthrew the elected president, Yanukovych, and brought to power a virulent anti-Russian, pro-American regime.

@RBReich When a founder of a #NeoNazi party and repackaged speaker of the Ukrainian parliament visited Washington in 2017, he was widely feted by leading American politicians, including Senator John #McCain and Representative Paul Ryan.

"The time for a strategy has come, we need a strategy in the #UnitedStates that defines our role in #Afghanistan, defines our objective & explains how are we going to get from here to there," said Warren🤨?

.@SenWarren told WBZ-TV that #JohnMcCain has been an ally since she joined the #ArmedServicesCommittee he chairs
And Warren notes that McCain has been a champion of high-tech Military Research & Development that is a key sector of the Massachusetts Economy:boston.cbslocal.com/2017/07/20/joh…

Attacks on @TulsiGabbard for her good judgement is nonsensical
#Syria's President #Assad did not gas his own ppl👇Facts Matter‼️
It’s now revealed that @OPCW suppressed expert engineers report that found the cylinders were staged & not dropped from the air:
#WhyTulsi👇🤨
It’s now revealed that #OPCW suppressed expert engineers report that found the cylinders were likely not dropped from the air.

#ChemicalWeapons Attack Were Staged👇😡‼️
The #OPCW confirms that a leaked document on alleged gas cylinders at #Douma in #Syria is genuine. It says it is conducting 'an internal investigation' about its 'unauthorised release.' :

Barr-Huber Meeting
On March 7, Barr had a notable meeting with Attorney John Huber of #Utah, who had been appointed as vice chair of the AG’s Advisory Committee by former AG @JeffSessions to investigate “all the allegations that the House Judiciary Committee members sent to us.”
Sessions wrote:
“Mr. Huber is conducting his work… in cooperation with the Inspector General. The additional matters raised… fall within the scope of his existing mandate, and I am confident that Mr. Huber’s review will include a full, complete, and objective evaluation…”

#DemocracyNow #Israel #GolanHeights
Human Rights Attorney @4noura to Trump: “Israel Is Not Interested in the Golan Heights for Security.

#Syria #UN #Jerusalem #Trump #IsraelGate
I wish that @4noura had not compared Russia's annexation of Crimea to would be scenario of Trump recognition of #Israel's land grab of the #GolanHeights.
1. #Crimea held a public referendum and voted by a big majority to leave #Ukraine and another referendum to join #Russia.
2. #Crimea in its entire history bf 1954 (that's when Khrushchev unilaterally decided to give Crimea to Ukraine), had never & repeat NEVER in its entire history been part of Ukraine
At the time the transfer to was largely symbolic, as both #Russia & #Ukraine were part of the USSR

⚜️1. Certainly you’ve heard that Sam Patten has flipped and he’s going to spill it all about @realDonaldTrump right? He’s got the goods, Trump is doomed! Not so fast, in fact his plea marks a shift in the entire investigation but its complicated, get comfortable.
2. Who is Sam Patten? He’s been around for awhile and it appears everyone is referencing Natasha Bertrand’s fortuitous interview with him in April, call it lazy? Anyway this is he and his wife Laura at the Whitehouse in 2015 and yes McCain in 2014, they both play a big part.
3. Let’s start with what he tells us
a maverick himself tackling complicated problems and international politics, makes no secret of his time in Russia or State Dept. and working for Senators. He’s even been published in the same outlets that now claim him as a mysterious spy.

Remember when Trump tried to bribe #JohnMcCain by offering Cindy McCain an ambassadorship?

I wonder how many countless @GOP made that deal with the devil. Ed Royce (and his wife) did.

thedailybeast.com/cindy-mccains-…
@GOP "According to the White House official, the president’s daughter and adviser Ivanka Trump had strongly recommended that President Trump make a “hard sell” to McCain."

Yup, Ivanka, the bribe-ess.
@GOP BTW: I think @LincolnsBible would say this is how the MOB does it: ensnare you. Make you compromised, complicit, and thus compliant.

(1) I had the honor to meet with @SenJohnMcCain on four occasions in my life. The first was when I volunteered for his first Presidential Campaign in 2000. I was 18. I met him at the Rochester, NY Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Highland Park on a cold February Saturday evening.
2. I had spent the afternoon helping to set up the rally and in so doing, got to meet several Vietnam War Veterans, two of whom had served as POWs with Sen. McCain.
3. I’ll never forget the moment he stepped off his Straight Talk Express Bus and into the scrum of media, campaign staff, and adoring fans (at least a thousand people attended the rally in the cold and cramped conditions).

Why am I sharing this in relation to @Caitoz's suspension?

Because like the outlets discussed in the article, Caitlin reports fairly and supportively regarding Julian Assange and WikiLeaks, as part of her overall rock-solid antiwar and anti-imperialist stance.
Yes, @Caitoz was most likely mass-reported by #Shareblue botnets specifically re: her opinions regarding #JohnMcCain.

However, it seems that this is part of an overall massive ramping up of offensive (as opposed to defensive/reactive) censorship by Shareblue etcetc.
Seeing all these voices muffled by the establishment since they gagged #Assange really drives home the point that the public is the enemy that the unelected power structure is waging psychological warfare against.

1) Here is a story of why we think #WeHaveTheMemo

See Q post below.

#DOJ, one is the investigation of the DNC breach and the #SteeleDossier. The #DNC was breached by #SethRich who sent the data to #Wikileaks. Highest levels made aware. Think big.

@POTUS #ReleaseTheMemo
2) #Google funded Crowdstrike w $100m. Brennan/Clapper used Crowdstrike thru Google to find leaker. #DNC finds out it's #SethRich. Q wrote: (SR 187)(MS 13 (2) 187). Example made of Seth, murdered by 2 #MS13 members, which were themselves killed a few blocks away. #WeHaveTheMemo
3) #DebbieWassermanSchultz shuts down #SethRich investigation. "Failed robbery attempt". Q says: F-I/D-J ASSIST - the #FBI and #DOJ assist in cleaning it up. Q then says "INSURANCE" - referring to Strzok texts.

📌Knock, Knock. Are you there @SenJohnMcCain ? Just curious if any of your donors were arrested over the weekend? #SaudiArabia
#followthewhiterabbit 🐇#JohnMcCain
Heard you said "you have nothing to do with that Foundation" which seems weird because your wife is on staff AND you've been the speaker at events 🤷🏼‍♀️
These old pals have a lot in common, where is JK theses days? #thestorm #followthewhiterabbit
