Philip Giraldi – The Unz Review Sept 6, 2022
If the non-stop dancing duo Biden and Blinken is seriously seeking to validate its view that the United States of America is and should be the world’s hegemon, they are going about it the wrong way. They should be taking their lead from Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky by turning their press conferences into entertainments with dancing bears and scantily clad chanteuses pirouetting and singing across the stage. They would benefit from recalling how Zelensky rose to power through his performances of comedy routines in which he would be prancing around on high heels with three colleagues who appeared to be mocking what might be construed as gay mannerisms to amuse the audience? Or perhaps the rather more outre performance where Zelensky would play a piano with his penis? If one can remember all that it would most definitely help to understand the foreign policy that is somehow playing out in Ukraine, where Zelensky has transitioned into a serious, unsmiling guy who is adept at solicitations for money and weapons. His pleading has become a shameless full-time endeavor as he now appears on thousands of screens via video link all over the world, saturating the airwaves and dropping in on both major and minor gatherings. Australian journalist Caitlin Johnstone recalls how he has appeared on “the Grammy Awards, the Cannes Film Festival, the World Economic Forum and probably the Bilderberg group as well, [while also] having meetings with celebrities like Ben Stiller, Sean Penn, and Bono and the Edge from U2. It’s as busy a PR tour as he could possibly have without having a discussion about the strategic importance of long-range artillery with Elmo on Sesame Street.”
Elmo might in fact be coming next as NPR is clearly one of Zelensky’s biggest fans. One also suspects that before the Ukrainian President is finished, he will be addressing a rotary meeting in Sioux Falls South Dakota. And Zelensky has even turned begging into a family affair, with his wife Olena welcomed by the President and First Lady at the White House while also going on to address the US Congress, entreating America’s Solons to provide plenty of cash and things that go bang to thwart the ambitions of one Vladimir Putin. As she put it, she is concerned lest her son and daughter be unable to return to school and university in the fall. She then observed that “We would have answers if we had air defense systems” which would enable a “joint victory in the name of life, freedom and the pursuit of happiness.”
Indeed, a high point of the recent antics has to be the unique cover photo shoot by Vogue magazine, in which the lovey-dovey couple Volodymyr and Olena grin and hug before the cameras. Zelensky declares his undying affection . Vogue aside, the entire Zelensky performance, choreographed as it is by neocons inside and outside the administration, is perfectly color and image coordinated. Zelensky has an endless supply of olive drab t-shirts and he entertains in Kiev a steady stream of statesmen and even heads of government from Europe and the US, including the US Attorney General Merrick Garland, who has appointed a seasoned Justice Department “Special Investigations”, i.e. “Nazi hunter” investigator, named Eli Rosenbaum to look into possible Russian war crimes.
The Garland/Rosenbaum dynamic duo will not be looking into possible Ukrainian war crimes like the recent assassination of Darya Dugina in Moscow as it is not part of the mandate from Biden/Blinken and besides which the Ukes are America’s friends, just like the Israelis who are such great friends that they also get a pass on whatever they inflict on the Palestinians, including shooting or blowing up civilians. Indeed, Zelensky’s White House approved message is always the same: “give us money and guns and we will defeat the Russkies.” So Honest Joe Biden gives them the cash and the things that go bang in the night and in return they get a hearty hand shake when the bundles of Benjamins get transferred into the trunk of someone’s car. All of which leads one to wonder if Mr Z is the best reliable source for anything having to do with himself and the corrupt toadies that adhere to him, given the recurring reports that some donated weapons are already making their way into the black market just as quickly as the money goes into officials’ pockets. Zelensky has reacted to criticism by shutting down opposition parties and media, assassinating dissident politicians and firing or imprisoning any other official who might be inclined to disagree with him.
Apart from that, there is allegedly a war going on, which may not be evident from all the horse trading taking place at the presidential palace. It also would appear to be counter-intuitive that the Russians, blamed without much in the way of evidence for atrocity after atrocity, have apparently proven willing to let Zelensky entertain all his guests undisturbed. If you are truly committing a lot of war crimes, why not add one more to the list by blowing up the Kiev presidential palace and both killing Zelensky and probably ending the war at a stroke?
There are, in fact, two wars taking place simultaneously. There is, to be sure, fighting going on around Donbas, but the more important conflict is the phony war being waged by the Biden Administration and a number of European Chancelleries in support of whatever is actually taking place in Ukraine. This latter aspect of the war consists of perhaps the most stifling – and effective – propaganda effort the world has ever seen. It includes Joe Biden and his brigade of clowns, but it also has a supporting cast consisting of NATO, a number of European heads of state and virtually the entire western media. Social media has also joined in the struggle, banning Russian originating news stories and opinion, and using algorithms and other forms of manipulation to make reporting favorable to Moscow go away. The allied effort to defeat and destroy Russia relies on lies, half-truths, and out-and-out deception. But why bother to do it? It is because the war was preventable and avoidable, which is what the White House and other governments cannot admit to the public. It makes absolutely no sense and will benefit no one when it is over, and “over” might mean “really over” as nuclear weapons are on the table.
But what about the good old American exceptionalism which Biden-Blinken and that stalwart warrior Merrick Garland are supposed to be defending? Well, that seems to have taken a hit as much of the world, watching the fiasco unfold in Ukraine, apparently doesn’t appreciate the Anglo-Saxon sense of humor. To them, the war in Ukraine would never have started if the US and Europeans had invested in the tiniest effort as mediators to come to a negotiated solution. They have given up on the United States as a “force for good” and have rather concluded that Washington is a global bully and a regular aggressor.
Former US Air Force colonel and PhD Karen Kwiatkowski has an interesting tale to tell about how far the mighty have fallen. She writes “…I saw that the Solomon Islands refused (ignored really, which is even better) a US Coast Guard request to come to port, to buy fuel, like with real American dollars, y’all! Why was the US Coast Guard floating around the South Pacific – were they lost? After getting a fuller picture – they were looking for lawbreaking fishermen and that’s where their mission took them…” So what was the US response to this outrage, which was immediately blamed on interference by the Chinese? We need “a new embassy in the Solomon Islands… along with a new five year engagement plan in the Pacific.”
During the Cold War before the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, a commonly heard comment was that the country had become economically and politically an “Upper Volta with rockets,” which implied that the USSR spent so much on weapons that the civilian economy was starved of resources. Well, welcome to the former United States of America. As the nation’s decline and fall will no doubt be facilitated due to the millions of mostly Latino “asylum seekers” flowing over America’s southern border, the US as a “Bolivia with nukes” might be more appropriate. The world is tired of Washington and its pretenses and the walls will inevitably come tumbling down when the Biden unsustainable trillions of dollars of added debt-surge brings on bankruptcy Argentina style. A sharp change in course might be able to fix some of the problems, but there is an election coming up which the White House is keen to win by flooding its cherished constituencies with funny money in exchange for votes, a practice which once upon a time would have been seen as corruption. Come to think of it, the US has become a banana republic run by an essentially criminal gang that alternates every few years to pretend to be a democracy. Can’t get much lower than that, but Biden sure is trying!

The article…..as per usual….neglects to mention the Zio-Elephant in the room…..the central role of the jews in all this stuff.
Thats why Boris Johnstein has visited the joint twice already…what was the purpose of his visits Not humanitarian,more likely financial,seeking to harvest more money from the zio-rotting corpse.Just like that piece of filth Biden jr.
It demonstrates just how much power and influence these demons can employ to suppress articles which might throw light on the subject.
Zelenski is rotten to the core and this demonstrates the jews ability to LIE convincingly….but as mentioned with the backup of the lying media.
BUT the jewish fiends have America in their pockets and Britain of course which SEEMS to be heading for monumental strife??.
Then there was the photograph of Israeli jets flying in tandem with the German airforce over Poland??….what the hell is going on here??.
Youll be waiting a long time for an explanation on this one…if there is one.
Essentially there isnt much believable about stories relating to Ukraine…
How about the Ukrainian peasant who shot down a Russian jet with his rifle?!.(picture holding a semi automatic 12 gauge shotgun)
Okay, I nearly finished it, but only to allow my tea to cool.
This reads like a review of a C- horror flik. Thicko sheeple will believe whatever they are told or shown. Just because they believe it, doesn’t mean its true.
So I really do wonder why Giraldi wrote this, and more perplexing, the fact that he’s read this stuff over time, or researched it.
Blinken, Biden, Truss, Boris, & Zelensky, they are performers for the thicko sheeple. I’ve not taken the time to see any of Zelensky’s acting parts. I’ve got no idea what this monkey grinder did to accumulate his $940 billion fortune, or should I say, alledged fortune.

The little known Anglo-Zanzibar War of 1896 is generally considered to be the shortest war in history, lasting for a grand total of 38 minutes.
The Yanks can’t do it like the Royal Navy used to do.
“Are we authorised in the event of all attempts at a peaceful solution proving useless, to fire on the Palace from the men-of-war?”
The next day, two more British warships entered the harbour, the HMS Racoon and the HMS St George, the latter carrying Rear-Admiral Harry Rawson, commander of the British fleet in the area At the same time, Cave had received a telegraph from Whitehall stating:
“You are authorised to adopt whatever measures you may consider necessary, and will be supported in your action by Her Majesty’s Government. Do not, however, attempt to take any action which you are not certain of being able to accomplish successfully.”
At 9am the order was given for the British ships in the harbour to begin bombarding the palace. By 09:02 the majority of Khalid’s artillery had been destroyed, and the palaces wooden structure had started to collapse with 3,000 defenders inside. It is also around this time, two minutes after the bombardment started, that Khalid is said to have escaped through a back exit of the palace, leaving his servants and fighters to defend the palace alone.
By 09:40 the shelling had ceased, the Sultan’s flag pulled down, and the shortest war in history had officially ended after only 38 minutes.
That’s the way to do it Yanks!
Sorry but I forgot! America only likes really long wars that they always lose, don’t they?

Kiev to Moscow is 500 miles – flight time for any type missile is less than 5 minutes.
Allowing this type of missile flight time by an enemy who has espoused your destruction is an act of insanity. This behavior is 100% parallel to American behavior in the the Cuban Missile Crisis – Russian reactions are 100% parallel to American response to missiles in Cuba – and this was BEFORE cruise missiles existed.
If Ukraine became NATO member, then missiles could be placed 350 miles from Moscow – 3 minute flight time.
This is all one needs to understand about the current conflict in Ukraine, and who is involved and why they are involved.
No mention anywhere in the article how all the cabinet members of USA & Russia are riddled with Jews, setting up the white goyim to be slaughtered in Ukraine…You wonder why nobody is hyping this info I uncovered about the Jewish infestation of the Putin Admin..
At the bottom of the article it states that Philip Giraldi is Executive Director of the ‘Council for the National Interest’…whatever that means…sounds like the sort of name the CIA would invent for one of their front groups..
The ‘jewish penist’ volod-ee-meer zeligensky.. muppet show puppet of the ‘jewish’ oligarchical criminal kolomoyski … ‘played’ the president on ‘jewish’ TeeVee long before his latest starring role in the political pantomime ‘Vlad the lmpaler of settlements and The Theatre of War’..
ln which once again… yup you guessed it.. he plays the President (but this time dressed as Rambo)….
No doubt his final role will be hanging from a gallows.. a gallery of ‘critics’..cheering… a role to which he is well suited…and one he has worked hard for..
Nico X is doing it again as he foists the canard that Russia is philosemitic. The fact is, Jews have been leaving Russia for quite some time, as well as a series of Jewish oligarchs. And if Jews are so fond of Russia, why is the western press so hostile to Russia?
Russia presents itself to care about Jews, but that is just a typical pose (but pathetic) to gain some brownie points with westerners.
Either way Nico X, you made a claim that the Russian government is swarming with Jews, so please provide a link. As is we’re all aware that the American government is infested, and here’s a link provided bv a Jewish group listing them. https://www.jewishvirtuallibrary.org/jews-in-the-biden-administration So if possible Nico X, please provide a link to support your claim.
Paul: I don’t know how many Jews are close to, or in Russian power, but just as Jews in Israel, and in the US, are split on Jewish influence and the behaviour of Israel, this UKraine play reveals that Jews are massively split.
There’s no upside, in my honest opinion, where the elite Jews in the US, UK, & Israel, benefit from literally driving an axe and splitting the world into two camps, which is a prelude to Western collapse, or even full on nuclear war.
In the 20th century, the Jews, so to speak, they had it all, but since 2000, its been all down hill, as Putin gave many talks on the need for a multipolar world. The Western NWO sect might have played deaf to Putin, but the rest of the world took notice, and they want their freedom from NWO servitude.
The NWO had plenty of time to asimulate the damanded blueprint for a fairer world, a world that doesn’t bankroll the US military and the US way of life.
So take you choice, or maybe there isn’t a choice. Either the Atlantacists, or the Jewish elite, or both, decided that they weren’t going to compromise, & decided to fight it out.
Since 2000 they’ve been building up to this situation in UKraine, & the looming Taiwan flash point.
So maybe the elites Jews have no say in what is going on, maybe they do. Wall Street wasn’t told, so we are told, that suicidal sanctions were going to be placed on Russia.
Israel faces losing its cashpoint. Do you think the Chinese will bankroll Israel? Or maybe Russia will do it, or Brazil?
A day will come when the US can’t afford to run its 11 nuclear powered carriers that cost around $13 million each per day to run. That’s over $52 billion per year. Sure, some carrier aren’t at sea. Some are being refitted, so maybe $42 billion, that’s a very expensive set of status symbols, and militarily redundant.

What a load of bull. The reason his ear and chin are different is because in one photo he’s smiling and in the other he’s not. Go to a mirror and try it on yourself.
As for the “digital biden”… no doubt it’s “AI” right?

“this UKraine play reveals that Jews are massively split”.
Actually, it’s quite amazing how Putin’s unimaginably ill-advised invasion has suddenly shown all of us — the whole world, in fact — who is who. Take Germany, for a start. Poland, Britain and America, too.
The freemasons talk about the Great Architect, but I rather think He’s the Great Playwright.
Pope John-Paul II once spoke of Him as “The Lord of History”.
No wonder UK perv. Pols .luvvv this guy…
Demonstration planned for London 24+/- of this month.Against illegal immigration.
“Football Alliance”….
Expected 100,000 marchers….Will Airstrip Ones media even report it.
Sheikhspeare: ‘ill advised’, you clearly have a terrible understanding of the geographical chess board.
I am not saying Russia will win the wider struggle, or if Putin will be alive to see it through, but Putin has done the right thing by acting, he just should’ve invaded properly, and then used nukes.
I read a post by Eric Bliar that there will be some demonstration against illegal immigration this month in London..
To all the A.A. disciples in England reading this post–If this demonstration is true–attend the event. Get some white fascists to walk around with large signs with Crowley’s head on it. Have a couple demonstrators with boom boxes blaring German military marches like the Koniggratzer or Badenweiler march. Get a few others with megaphones walking around reciting lines from ‘The Book of the Law’ such as “Compassion is the vice of kings: stamp down the wretched & the weak”;
“Trample down the Heathen”;
“Do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the Law”;
“I am a God of War and of Vengeance”…you can add other pithy axioms too like “The only solution is the Einsatzgruppen”–you get the idea. Also print out thousands of flyers that proclaim: “Save Britain–Join the A.A. (Army of Aiwass) today!”
Before you know it hundreds of recruits will enter the ranks which will form the core of a new force to conquer the nation…
A.A.
Nico X–of course, and the Jews won’t feast on that propaganda fodder for years
