Linh Dinh – Substack April 4, 2022
[Tarragona, 9/26/17]
Even before Russia invaded Ukraine, The New York Times strongly hinted Putin had lost it. Anton Troianovski on 2/18/22, “The 20-foot-long table that Mr. Putin has used to socially distance himself this month from European leaders flying in for crisis talks symbolizes, to some longtime observers, his detachment from the rest of the world. For almost two years, Mr. Putin has ensconced himself in a virus-free cocoon unlike that of any Western leader, with state television showing him holding most key meetings by teleconference alone in a room and keeping even his own ministers at a distance on the rare occasions that he summons them in person.” Though social distancing was an indication of health and good sense in the West, it was a sign of madness in Putin.
As Russian tanks crossed into Ukraine on 3/22/22, Douglas Murray concluded in The Sun that Putin was “insane and dangerous,” with the weak West enabling his deranged behavior.
On 2/27/22, Condoleezza Rice deemed Putin “erratic,” with “an ever-deepening, delusional rendering of history.”
Getting deep, Father Cyril Hovorun explained in Premier Christianity on 2/29/22, “It’s irrational: [Putin] destroys his own country for the sake of retaking Ukraine, which is looking increasingly unlikely […] He is driven by a sort of metaphysics. I would not call it religion, although there is a component of traditional Christianity in it. It’s really a sort of metaphysical outlook, which I believe to be dangerous […] Just like Dietrich Bonhoeffer talked of cheap grace, I would say Putin has adopted cheap spirituality […] It’s a mix of post-Soviet metaphysics, superstition and, I would call it, a dualistic worldview. There is a part of the world which is good, and he believes this is Russia, and then there is a part of the world which is bad, and he believes this is the West.”
On 3/1/22, Fox News summarized, “Russian leader is not crazy, he’s consistent. Since taking power 22 years ago, Putin has specialized in killing.”
There are many more declarations of Putin’s madness in the West. It is remarkable, this unhinged chorus, for Russia’s invasion of Ukraine can’t be more logical, or conducted more sanely.
Russia has to 1) put an end to Ukraine’s unending attacks on Russians in the Donbas 2) preempt an invasion of the Donbas, as evidenced by a huge buildup of Ukrainian troops in the region 3) prevent Ukraine’s entry into NATO, which would put nuclear warheads within six minutes of Moscow 4) investigate and neutralize around 30 illegal chemical labs, apparently aimed at Russia.
If anything, Putin should have acted sooner. In any case, he’s much saner than any Western leader. With Boris Johnson, Emmanuel Macron, Justin Trudeau and Olaf Scholz, etc., the West is fronted by a gallery of buffoons, as led by the appallingly corrupt and idiotic Biden.
After 13 US soldiers were killed during the farcically chaotic withdrawal from Afghanistan, Biden cartoonishly intoned with much gravity, “We will not forgive, we will not forget. We will hunt you down and make you pay.” Thoughtful Putin never talks like that. It’s embarrassing, but cliches, slogans, slurs and lies now make up much of American English.
Biden then sent drones to massacre ten members of one Afghan family, a war crime barely noticed by Americans and already forgotten. To punish that starving country further, grifting, fogged up and fondling Joe then stole $3.5 billion of its frozen assets to compensate victims of 9/11, a tragedy Afghanistan had nothing to do with, and neither did Bin Laden, in case you haven’t figured it out.
The dumbing down of the West has been a decades-long process. Though we’re well into Idiocracy territory, there are still some brain cells left to concuss or wring dry, just for the fun of it. During World War II, English speaking soldiers read Henry James and Anthony Trollop, I kid you not. Paul Fussel, “Siegfried Sassoon favored James’s middle-period works because they were ‘so all beautifully remote’ from Hitlerism and its brutal behavior,’ and Trollope’s novels were widely read because, in addition to their distance from the current violence and stupidity, they were handily available in the World’s Classics pocket-sized editions, fit to be slipped into uniform pockets and gas-mask containers, like the equally popular unbellicose works of Dickens and Jane Austen. But Austen was valuable regardless of format.”
Even if Russians have gone through an intellectual decline, they can’t be as dumb as Americans, for Putin doesn’t address them as morons. From a speech on 2/24/22, here’s Putin explaining NATO’s aggression and insolence over three decades:
It is a fact that over the past 30 years we have been patiently trying to come to an agreement with the leading NATO countries regarding the principles of equal and indivisible security in Europe. In response to our proposals, we invariably faced either cynical deception and lies or attempts at pressure and blackmail, while the North Atlantic alliance continued to expand despite our protests and concerns. Its military machine is moving and, as I said, is approaching our very border.
Why is this happening? Where did this insolent manner of talking down from the height of their exceptionalism, infallibility and all-permissiveness come from? What is the explanation for this contemptuous and disdainful attitude to our interests and absolutely legitimate demands?
Instead of working a crowd with catch phrases, slogans and vacuous quips, Putin succinctly and patiently clarifies. After recounting America’s illegal attacks on Iraq, Libya and Syria, Putin summarizes Uncle Sam’s modus operandi and its implication for Russia:
Overall, it appears that nearly everywhere, in many regions of the world where the United States brought its ‘law and order,’ this created bloody, non-healing wounds and the curse of international terrorism and extremism. I have only mentioned the most glaring but far from only examples of disregard for international law.
This array includes promises not to expand NATO eastwards even by an inch. To reiterate: they have deceived us, or, to put it simply, they have played us. Sure, one often hears that politics is a dirty business. It could be, but it shouldn’t be as dirty as it is now, not to such an extent. This type of con-artist behavior is contrary not only to the principles of international relations but also and above all to the generally accepted norms of morality and ethics. Where is justice and truth here? Just lies and hypocrisy all around.
[…]
Incidentally, US politicians, political scientists and journalists write and say that a veritable “empire of lies” has been created inside the United States in recent years. It is hard to disagree with this—it is really so. But one should not be modest about it: the United States is still a great country and a system-forming power. All its satellites not only humbly and obediently say yes to and parrot it at the slightest pretext but also imitate its behavior and enthusiastically accept the rules it is offering them. Therefore, one can say with good reason and confidence that the whole so-called Western bloc formed by the United States in its own image and likeness is, in its entirety, the very same “empire of lies.”
Deranged, the West declares the sanest leader alive a madman, and cheerleads a corrupt clown in Zelensky who pretended to play the piano with his dick on television, whose citizens are punished by being taped to utility poles with their pants pulled down, whose soldiers film each other shooting handcuffed Russian POWs in the legs and even groins, with one screaming victim stabbed in the neck then eye.
If the West still had an independent and varied media, news outlets would not ignore or gloss over such sensational war crimes, as the New York Post did on 3/28/22:
Senior presidential adviser Oleksiy Arestovych said the government is taking the videos very seriously.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian military commander Gen. Valerii Zaluzhnyi accused Russia of “staging” the videos and warned the public to only trust “official sources.”
“In order to discredit the Ukrainian defense forces, the enemy is filming and distributing staging videos with inhumane attitude of ‘Ukrainian military’ to ‘Russian prisoners,’” Zaluzhnyi said in a statement.
In the New York Post, much more space is given to Zelensky’s pronouncements, such as this on 4/3/22, “We are the citizens of Ukraine. We have more than a hundred nationalities. This is about destruction and extermination of all these nationalities. We don’t want to be subdued to the policy of the Russian Federation. This is the reason we are being destroyed and exterminated. And this is happening in the Europe of the 21st century. So this is the torture of the whole nation.”
If Russia is exterminating “all these nationalities,” then it’s a Holocaust, isn’t it, but we can’t use that word, for it’s reserved for Jews. Zelensky, though, sure knows how to evoke that mythical genocide to confirm, once again, that Putin is a Hitler.
Even if Russian troops did massacre civilians in Bucha, it’s obviously not Putin’s intention, for if he wanted to exterminate Ukrainians, then Kiev, Kharkov, Odessa and Lviv, etc., would have been razed already. Instead, there’s still electricity, water and Wifi in all those cities. To allow civilians to escape the war, Putin never destroyed Ukraine’s rail system. Instead, it’s Zelensky’s troops who hold them hostage as human shields. What the US and UK did to Germans and Japanese at the end of WWII was far, far worse, but even that didn’t qualify as extermination, and how many massacres of civilians did the US commit in Vietnam?
Uniformity of opinions has become the law of the land in the Jewjerked empire of lies, so Jewish Zelensky is preposterously declared a new Churchill, and his propaganda, no matter how crude, is embraced. In one video, a sunglasses wearing Ukrainian beauty with perfect skin and makeup coolly walks from a supposed battle, amid wrecked tanks, with smoke and flames in the background. Nonchalantly, she flashes a victory sign. An assault rifle is slung over her shoulder, and, get this, she sports a Palestinian keffiyeh!
This cool leftist fashion statement deflects from the fact the Ukraine fiasco is a Jewish Fascist operation. Jews orchestrated this war, and now that it’s started, want it to last, if not spread. Jews hate Slavs as much as they hate Arabs, so a smoldering Syria in Europe is overflowing champagne to them. Again, you always know what the Jewish agenda is by what the Jewjacked media is pushing.

Keep oh it, Linh.
You have become one of the best dissident writers in an increasingly irrational world. Stay sane. Stay alive. Best of luck.
More people should read this.
They did this bit about being mad with Adolf Hitler Sadham Husein Abdul Nasser napoleon etc etc
no one believes the British news

INSANITY ?
The Rothschild’s forbad the British royals from taking in the Romanovs
the Russian royals were cruelly murdered, for refusing Rothschild to bring in Usuary
that is the charging of interest upon interest often on more interest.
Rothschild took Russia in 1917
Rothschild took the USA with the implementation of the Federal Reserve in 1913
Rothschild funded both sides in the Napoleaonic wars
taking the UK after Waterloo.
In the build up to W W 2 Lord Victor Rothschid told his Apostles
that a major war was being planned between the countries he owned
this would bring in the necessary changes for a one world government one world currency one world religion and a one world army based not in Tel Aviv, as some claim but in Jerusalem,
this would be Communist based.
Those who helped him would be given great distincton and honours, he chose from Lwft wing Homosexuals, many had convictions for child abuse, Kim Philby was nota Homosexual like the oters but was very promiscous, and when his wife Aileen threatend to tell on him, Rothschild had her murdered.
Fractional Reserve lending is Usuary, Muslims are forbiden to be part of this and all have home safes, its high time Christians did the same
Soviet Russia declared you insane if you did not love the regime, and made antisemitism illegal, and Dawkins wants religious people to be declared insane, because materialism is your death, where you are converted back to merely the material your body was made from, but you are not that material. “yOU Are what you eat”–but a pig and a person could eat the same food, so tthat was wrong. “You are built by your genes”–wrong again, and the Scum have to deny reincarnation to bring a Death doctrine to the masses. Life and Death are both the truth, and the soul has hybridised them. Neither is ever the total victor.
I doubt there would be not even one Western mainstream news source that would have Putin’s words quoted like in this article.
They mention ’empire of lies’ but then claim it’s Putin who’s full of it.
So true because of Europe’s capitulation to the empire of lies, it too is also the ’empire of lies’.
If anyone has a link to an English translation, let’s be having it.
Thank you.
@Nico X, Fred B, etc. – wake up! Those “nationalists” you call Aryans in Ukraine are nothing but the lowest jew-serving filth, killing children and real Ukrainian patriots like mad (they are actually totally insane)!
You know nothing…. all of them serve those JEWS you so apparently (and rightfully) abhore (Kolomoysky for most). They serve them willingly or not (most of them are just manipulable fanatic stupids or imported thugs – often of dark origin).
All 2 of the post-Maidan “administrations” were/are full of Jews and their servants, wake the FUCK up!! You, by default, serve them as well, by your ignorance!
This is most excellent in a “all men are created insane but some are more insane than others” kind of way.
“For almost two years, Mr. Putin has ensconced himself in a virus-free cocoon unlike that of any Western leader, with state television showing him holding most key meetings by teleconference alone in a room”
So Mr Putin upholds the insane Covid Protocols with pride, and there’s nothing gay about it. I too would feel more manly were I able to park myself at the head of my 20 ft table. Or is this the insane ‘West’ spitting on Putin at any chance they’re able to?
Had Biden done the same the insane press would be championing the lengths that ol’ Joe goes to maintain not only his own health but the health of all of God’s children.
They call Putin insane because he’s the only one sane in an insane world. That makes him insane.
“Siegfried Sassoon” the jew closely related to the Iraq origin jew (Sassoon) who became the biggest drug pusher in history (opium made in India using Indian slave labour then imported into China)
The Sassoons of today still retain the wealth generated by the Iraqi jew….built on misery and suffering.Infact,in the space of a few generations they form a major part of the elites of Europe.
They’re only just getting started destroying America….they own virtually everything….including politicians.The former black congresswoman Cynthia McKinney can fill you in on the deal here….one of the few the jewish fiends could not buy off.
@Guldur…I’m not the one supporting Russia’s anti-white ‘World Without Nazism’ government program, nor the murder of thousands of innocent Ukrainian civilians by Communist Russia’s invasion…but you are. Also its interesting how Russia still has the Communist Red Star on their jets, tanks, trucks etc. Figure it out.
Both ‘sides’ (NATO/Soviet Russia) are governed by anti-Aryan lunatics.
First ask yourself who’s the author of this article? Some non-white. Naturally it will be anti-Aryan or support the slaughter of thousands/millions of Aryans in Ukraine by Communist Russia & its ‘World Without Nazism’ program..
What most people, due to their limited intellects, are unable to comprehend is that this war is a total ZOG orchestrated set up to wipe out the masses of nationalistic fascist Ukrainians & their culture..
Here’s the basic summary of it all:
ZOG didn’t like the fact that masses of white Ukrainians were forming a fascistic nationalistic monoracial culture/society via the Azov youth camps & other pro-white organizations over the last few years. They realized it would just be a matter of time before they would depose the democratic-liberal government, obtain political power & institute a Nazi State. Thus the Jewish Overlords via their Zionist-Communist agent Putin unleashed a ‘preemptive strike’ on Ukraine to eliminate this burgeoning threat to Jewish hegemony. Its a War Against Whites. You are witnessing the beginning of a new Holodomor.
the insane call the others insane+
evil to innocent .
the most insane are Freudian psychiaters .
Any empire built on lies, on withholding and distorting facts regarding people’s vital interests as with Covid is simply a tyranny. Any nation which legalizes the right of the media to lie to its citizens as in Trudeaus’ WEF Canada is a tyranny.
Both Dinh and Putin focus on the duty to disclose the facts, allegedly for people in positions of trust and authority to be honest. However, the word ‘honest’ in all nations whose establishments have thrown out God now is just a square-bear, corny archaic term. The new normal is that no one has to be honest except all of the proles down here on the paycheck-to-paycheck level, and the rule is that is that we can never tell a lie to any of our top-down masters, yet they can freely lie to us and deceive us at their pleasure. Every one of our governments believe they have an absolute right to deceive us with any deception they choose.
You the glib reader say, “So what. We know all this. So what?”. However, the significance of the corruption of the truth to conform to one’s interests is crucial not only to the freedom of choice of everyone, but also to all of our basic rights and should not get such a gloss.
In this article we see that Putin has dutifully played the Covid game to the hilt along with his other WEF compatriots such Biden,Trudeau, Macron, Johnson, Merkle, and Zelensky which shows his own pragmatism and obedience to the New World Order, whose potentates no doubt have promised his nation freedom from the dominance of the US dollar, and another level of global government touting the rule of law which he probably thinks would work for the survival and integrity of his own nation. So, Putin cheery picks the issues on which he wishes to disclose the truth, and no harm done in walking over the faces of his own people with the spike-protein Sputnik vaccines?
Is RT any cleaner, any more honest, than the lying Western media? It depends on the issue. In any case, the media gatekeepers on each side are the ones who determine what issues are to be broadcast or suppressed. This the glib reader says has always been the case. Yet, it has never been so controlled as in our times and the reason for that is that never before has the wealth and power particularly of the West been concentrated in so few hands, and never before has there every been such wealth and power, together with a technology coupled to systemic amorality to deceive, condition, and mould the people to the will of those in power.
All of them, even Putin, believe that it is their absolute right to deceive not just other nations in various forms of international brinkmanship where they believe they have no duties of care, but more importantly they all firmly believe they have an absolute right to deceive their own people on any matter they choose.
Over and over again the refrain emerges in many of us that without the duty of those in power to disclose the facts relative to our vital interests, there is no freedom, and there are no real rights. No one can make any rational or responsible decision without the facts. Yet we live in an age of weak, brainwashed, and dependent people (deliberately made that way by those in control) where they simply accept that the truth as anything they are told my those in control of the media and their governments, and if not then they do not really want to know the actual truth as it tends to cause too much upset and turmoil in their lives in relation to the politically-correct diktats of how they are told to view various issues. Covid has absolutely proven everything said here in this regard.
Now, many people are starting to believe we are heading for WWIII and that the West is good and that Russia is bad, or vice versa. We still do not know if Putin has gone rogue from the WEF or if the skirmishing in the Ukraine is more theatre to help usher in a one-world government on yet another pretext, and with even more fearmongering.
The fact is that they all lie, all of our leaders, and none of them think they have any duty to disclose any relevant facts on any issue to us which goes against their own interests, whether their interests are special interests or interests from what they have confidentially deemed to be for our good – such as more media brainwashing and other measures to control everything we think or do.
The Great Hypocrisy of the WEF and as found in the hallowed Rothschild-Rockefeller UN Agenda backing and pretexts, to which all of our institutional leaders have sold their souls, is over another abstract word which like ‘honesty’ means absolutely nothing to the thoroughly dumbed-down masses, and that is the word ‘knowledge’, or ‘to know’. Like the truth they think it is all relative to subjective interests and we can just continue cheery picking the facts as we please. The hypocrisy of the elitist cabal on top and in every one of our leading institutions backing the WEF and the UN Agendas is all clearly seen in the centrality they have given to the idea of “equality”. By 2030 we are told we will own nothing, we all will be totally-controlled, obedient little serfs, or we will be cast out of the supreme happiness promised to us by Dr. Schwab who incidentally is the leading sock puppet on the world stage right now owned by the Roshchild/Rockefeffer & Swiss money cabal.
Francis, the Pope, is a great supporter of this New World Order being ushered in and has put all of his prelates under holy obedience to obey all of the Vatican diktats, and of course the concept of “Equality” reigns supreme in the new thinking. Owning property or supporting individual nations, is the evil of “nationalism”, or stressing the independence of the soul from or over the body and the freedom, rights and integrity of the individual person is the evil of “individualism”, all of which is simply “selfish”, archaic, and simply goes against the new normal of hallowed Equality.
So what is this Equality they are so interested in order to level we the common people to the same standards right across the globe. Is it a spiritual equality were we are all going to have enriched souls? No, it is not that. It is a material equality where we will simply use things, be stakeholders, where each will have his needs according to what they deserve, and people can use things just like the bikes used in common in our cities, or busses and streetcars – all very good things just like our roads and sidewalks. However, the communism they have in mind goes much much further and incorporates the Marxist dream of a leveling to what they deem as acceptable world standards regarding our standards of living.
Yet, what we also notice is this leveling regarding the eradication of personal ownership will only apply to the common people and not to the elites such as Gates, Buffet, Fink, all of the oligarchs and the Davos crowd who are very busy right now with all of the top-down financial manipulations and money printing, buying up all of the assets of the world. That is the first aspect of the Great Hypocrisy.
The second but much more significant aspect of the new-normal hypocrisy from above has to do with knowledge – our access to the facts to make responsible and crucial decisions in our lives. We all know that where you have insider trading, which is rife and overlooked in our present world, that such actually is “insider knowledge” used for special interests of advancement, that such is dishonest, and that such use used to be illegal, as were once upon a time monopolies and cartels. We also ought to know that when those in our governments and institutions deceive us, lie to us, supress knowledge and truth crucial to our interests, crucial to our ability to make responsible decisions regarding our vital interests (as clearly exhibited with Covid), when for instance, they hoard the truth, just like with wealth in material goods, they are doing the most unequal and unjust thing imaginable to us. It is only by equal access to the facts, to knowledge and the truth, that there can be any fairness, incentive, trust and flourishing in any civilization.
These people running things these days, these heads of all of our institutions, Francis, Jacob, Joe, and Vlad are all cut from the same cloth of elitism. They hoard and manipulate knowledge to advance their own interests whether their interests be personal, ideological, or the UN Agendas. They are all foes against freedom and justice because they simply are able to share anything of real value which relates to their power, which is knowledge, and that is why they are ushering in their hallowed New World Order under the cover of mass deceptions, pretexts, endless lies, media brainwashing, and fear mongering. Now we have them going to war over the Ukraine?
@ Fred B
Very well put and 100% correct. I’d say “More than 100%” if that were possible!
@ Fred B – Edit to 2nd last sentence above:
“They are all foes against freedom and justice because they simply are NOT able to share anything of real value which relates to their power, which is knowledge, and that is why they are ushering in their hallowed New World Order under the cover of mass deceptions, pretexts, endless lies, media brainwashing, and fear mongering.”
@ FRED B
all this negative in society is result
of MASSES . and masses are only
to be ruled dictatorial to function .
creating civilisation + therefore in
my opinion civilisation is out dated .
BACK TO STONEAGE with a limited
number of tribesmen . tribes wars then
will always be like before 2000 years.
but that could be pacified by rescue of
some hindu philosophy + meditations
technics to improve the spirits of
primitive tribes men . i am sure the
primitive aboriginals isolated on their
continent australia before the crazy whites
came could have been spiritualy improved
if they would have contacts with hindu
culture in those times . MASSCIVILISATION
IS OUTDATED !
I must correct : the above i think only
possible on another planet without jews !
Lin-Dinh again spot on, as always, as far as I remember…
I don´t know why some are bashing him, as what he constantly utters is observable (even long-term observable) truth and excelent insight – be it covid scam or now this Ukrainian mess and deception. Moreover, it reads lightly and lively.
Keep it on!
Thanks.
