Kiev\u2019s Western handlers supported this comedian precisely because \u2013 not despite \u2013 tensions with Russia were ratcheting up over the Donbass.<\/p>\n<p>The fine line that separates the world of entertainment from 3D reality has been blurred to the point of irrelevancy. That much has been proven by the rise of the comedian-actor Volodymyr Zelensky to the top of Ukraine\u2019s fetid political heap.<\/p>\n<p>To be clear, such things do not happen on a whim in a country where the US government, not to mention international provocateurs like George Soros, spends billions of dollars annually to keep Kiev in a state of perpetual servitude. The reality is that Zelensky, 44, has been groomed and stage-managed for the biggest role of his life for a long time.<\/p>\n<p>But why would the puppet masters of the universe want a court jester to rule over such a dysfunctional state at this critical juncture in world history? For an answer to that question, here\u2019s the Times of Israel to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.timesofisrael.com\/18-things-to-know-about-jewish-defender-of-ukrainian-democracy-volodymyr-zelensky\/\">explain<\/a> the apparent paradox: \u201cHe\u2019s young, funny, Jewish and committed to a strong democratic Ukraine, even at the risk of death.\u201d Well, there you have it, all of Zelensky\u2019s dazzling presidential qualifications wrapped up in one easy to chew sound bite.<\/p>\n<p>Incidentally, all this talk about Zelensky being the \u201cJewish defender of Ukrainian democracy\u201d strikes a dissonant chord when it is considered that the Eastern European country has a well-documented history of anti-Semitism. A large part of this ill repute has been engendered by the Ukrainian historical figure Stepan Bandera, a Nazi collaborator during World War II to whom dozens of cities and towns around Ukraine have erected monuments to his honor. But Ukraine\u2019s Nazi heritage goes beyond stone tributes to Bandera in the town square. Currently, the Ukrainian military has been infiltrated with various extreme right organizations, most predominantly the Azov Battalion, a paramilitary unit of the Ukrainian military, which even the FBI <a href=\"https:\/\/www.csis.org\/analysis\/rise-far-right-extremism-united-states\">says<\/a> is associated with neo-Nazi ideology. Meanwhile, the Russian troops in Ukraine have been documenting a mountain of evidence \u2013 from soldiers\u2019 tattoos to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rt.com\/news\/556276-azov-ukraine-uk-nazi\/\">official accounts<\/a> \u2013 detailing the pervasiveness of neo-Nazi ideology throughout the country. Indeed, one of the stated goals of Moscow\u2019s special operation in Ukraine is the \u2018denazification\u2019 of the country.<\/p>\n<p>Getting back to Zelensky\u2019s political \u2018credentials,\u2019 his only experience at being \u2018presidential\u2019 came from the popular television series \u2018Servant of the People,\u2019 where he starred in the leading role of Vasily Petrovych Goloborodko. As the plot line goes, this thirty-something high-school teacher is secretly filmed speaking out against government corruption in his country. Despite the scourge of Big Tech censorship, the video worms its way onto social media where it goes viral and \u2013 voila! \u2013 the teacher gets elected president of Ukraine.<\/p>\n<p>So from 2015 until 2019, the Ukrainian people were treated to the bumbling antics of President Goloborodko who \u2013 in a foretelling of Zelensky\u2019s real-life future political opponent, the \u2018Chocolate King\u2019 Petro Poroshenko \u2013 focused his TV presidency on battling the oligarchy (the irony here is that Zelensky, with an estimated fortune in the neighborhood of $1bln, is now a proud member of that very same golden class). Despite the sitcom being your average fare for television \u2013 Kevin Spacey starred in an earlier U.S. production known as \u2018House of Cards\u2019 \u2013 it managed to get <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/AmySpiro\/status\/1498085663786344452\">regularly hyped in the Western media<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>As early as December 2016, Zelensky\u2019s comedy hit, put out by his own film production company, Kvartal 95, was touted by no less than Foreign Policy magazine as the TV show that is \u201chelping Ukrainians rethink their absurd politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUkraine is so corrupt that it\u2019s hard to imagine it being otherwise,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/foreignpolicy.com\/2016\/12\/13\/how-a-fictional-president-is-helping-ukrainians-rethink-their-absurd-politics\/\">wrote<\/a> Katherine Jacobsen. \u201cA new comedy series shows that things could be different.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>With the luxury of hindsight, that sounds pretty close to a political endorsement. But the more inquiring listeners may be tempted to ask, \u201chow different?\u201d Well, three months before this glowing article hit the newsstands Zelensky and his comedy troupe were hamming it up on stage, pants around their ankles, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=J_UWafVKjLw\">pretending<\/a> to play the piano with their genitals. And not just any song, mind you, but \u2018Hava Nagila,\u2019 the song that was composed in 1918 to celebrate the Balfour Declaration and the British victory over the Ottomans. Needless to say, that\u2019s a pretty ballsy move for Jew and Gentile alike in these ultra-sensitive times. But more to the point, we are talking about a comedian who would, in a span of three short years, be elected president.<\/p>\n<p>Fast forward to August 2017 and the breathless acclaim over Zelensky\u2019s mediocre slapstick sitcom continues. Cinema Escapist, for example, enthused over Zelensky\u2019s character Goloborodko, and his government of \u201cfellow commoners\u201d who find comical ways to \u201cbattle against Ukraine\u2019s corrupt establishment, painting a vision of the country that many Ukrainians wish to see in real life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the interview with Zelensky that followed, the comedian-actor shifts into second-person narrator as he describes his rise in the world of entertainment, which could apply equally to his meteoric rise in the world of politics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThroughout this process, you have to gradually say goodbye to some of your dreams,\u201d he states, before giving away the plot. \u201cSometimes you think you totally control the situation, but in reality it\u2019s like you\u2019re guided in some way, as if destiny is building your career in a way that you didn\u2019t intend.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Judging by that remark, it seems Zelensky already understands the path that has been chosen for him.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_249465\" style=\"width: 370px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Zelensky-at-Ukrainian-frontline.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-249465\" class=\"wp-image-249465\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Zelensky-at-Ukrainian-frontline.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"360\" height=\"240\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-249465\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">In his current role, President Zelensky leads Ukraine in its war with Russia. Click to enlarge<\/p><\/div>\n<p>In a hint to future political ambitions in the real world, Zelensky went on to say that, \u201cI have started receiving more messages from ordinary people that confirm there\u2019s a desire for [someone like President Goloborodko, the fictional character] to lead Ukraine through its current realities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In these celebrity-obsessed times, however, when people have trouble separating actors from the fictional roles they play, it\u2019s not difficult to see how, after four years of watching Zelensky play president, mesmerized voters would readily accept his transition from the studio to the very real halls of power. After all, it\u2019s no secret that intelligence agencies, not least of all the CIA, have special departments that work directly with Hollywood to assist in the creation of scripts and films.<\/p>\n<p>The Ukrainian comic then touched upon the impact that his television sitcom has had on his political outlook.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhile working on this project, we obviously had to research deeper into political topics,\u201d he said. \u201cThe deeper we got, the more politically educated we became\u2026and that compelled me to be more curious about \u2018why\u2019 they had to be that way.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Apparently when Mr. Zelensky was not rehearsing to play the piano with his genitals, for example, he was busy becoming \u201cmore politically educated.\u201d Yes, it\u2019s all making much more sense now.<\/p>\n<p>With the noxious vapors of political brinkmanship already in the air, less than six months later the so-called Party of Decisive Change, which was founded just one year earlier, was renamed after \u2013 yes, you guessed it \u2013 the eponymous Ukrainian hit TV series \u2018Servant of the People\u2019. Now the only thing needed was a fake politician to lead this fake party (which today is led by Olena Shuliak, a member of the U.S.-based Young Presidents\u2019 Organization, another one of those meddling NGOs, this one run out of Rochester, New York, whose purpose is bringing together \u201cvisionaries, talented leaders, subject matter experts\u201d for various invitation-only meetings).<\/p>\n<p>What happened next is a waste byproduct of the modern celebrity factory, where average consumers of entertainment have lost the ability to differentiate between cheap knockoffs and the real thing. Thus, on New Year\u2019s Eve 2019, just four months before the elections, Zelensky made the flight of fancy by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Jjc4kcx8mlw\">announcing<\/a> \u2013 from the backstage of a studio, of course \u2013 that he would seek the presidency. Later, the Servant of the People party nominated him presidential candidate. For the next four months the Ukrainian people were treated to one of the most stage-managed political charades not seen since Joe Biden successfully campaigned for the White House from his basement against Donald Trump.<\/p>\n<p>In keeping with his fake presidential persona, Zelensky\u2019s campaign against the incumbent Petro Poroshenko was almost entirely virtual. And unlike the US mainstream media, which was quite happy to toss Biden softball questions, the Ukrainian media complained about the lack of access to the political pretender, especially when the only thing known about his platform was that he was \u201cagainst oligarchs.\u201d In fact, instead of detailing his political program to voters, he went on a comedy tour across the country, totally avoiding serious questions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy Ukrainian standards, Zelensky\u2019s campaign style, which amounts to touring with his comedy troupe and addressing followers in selfie videos on social media, is highly unorthodox,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rferl.org\/a\/crowdsourcer-in-chief-ukrainian-funnyman-takes-unorthodox-path-to-top-of-presidential-pack\/29796662.html\">observed<\/a> Radio Free Europe. \u201cBut with Ukrainian voters deeply dissatisfied with veteran leaders who have failed to deliver on crucial reform promises and eager for fresh faces, observers say it may just win him the presidency.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The runoff debates between Zelensky and Poroshenko, held at the Olympic Stadium in Kiev before a crowd of 70,000 spectators, was an embarrassing spectacle of democracy that more resembled bread and circuses than discussion and debate. In such an environment, it is no wonder that the celebrity showman would outshine the incumbent, who, after all, was just a billionaire candy-tycoon. In the end, the establishment got the candidate of its dreams, the man who would go on to promote a disastrous war with Russia to foreign capitals, <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WayneDupreeShow\/status\/1533422846491361280\">making a fortune in the process<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Volodymyr Zelensky today is a bit like Black Lives Matter incarnate. It has become blasphemous to question this dangerous pretender to the throne, who regularly appears \u2013 via television, of course, his favorite medium \u2013 before political elites and celebrities alike. This court jester has received applause from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h2ZnSXQaDio\">US Congress<\/a>, the Cannes Film Festival and the Grammys, and most enthusiastically of all from NATO and the military industrial complex, which has seen a massive turn on profit thanks to Zelensky\u2019s determination to fight the Russians right down to the last Ukrainian soldier (Cracks are starting to appear, however, in the actor\u2019s stunt car. This week, sources in the German government <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spiegel.de\/international\/germany\/olaf-scholz-and-ukraine-why-has-germany-been-so-slow-to-deliver-weapons-a-7cc8397b-2448-49e6-afa5-00311c8fedce\">told<\/a> Der Spiegel that there is \u201ccertain distrust in Berlin of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. And that \u2026 is a reason why the defense industry in Germany has not been authorized to deliver battle tanks.\u201d It seems the last thing Berlin really wants is German tanks on the move in Russia, especially considering how that turned out the last time).<\/p>\n<p>Ultimately, that is why this slapstick entertainer, this political nobody found himself \u201cguided in some way\u201d to a position where his acting skills can be manipulated to the greatest effect. The Western hemisphere clearly understands that Ukraine, which has been infiltrated with a virulent neo-Nazi element that presents an existential threat to Russia, stands no chance on the battlefield against the Russian military. So they brought in a comedian to sell the lie that if NATO expands, and the Western military shipments increase, Russia can be beaten. It is the greatest and most dangerous hoax of modern times that shows the terrible depths of human greed and stupidity. When the critical moment called for a true statesman, Ukraine has given the world a comedian, and that has made all the difference.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.strategic-culture.org\/news\/2022\/06\/07\/volodymyr-zelensky-comedy-coup-will-be-unraveling-ukraine-and-world\/\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is the greatest and most dangerous hoax of modern times that shows the terrible depths of human greed and stupidity.
