Judge Napolitano arrived safely in Switzerland and, thanks to the miracle of the internet, was able to do his show as scheduled. We discussed Bakhmut and the Ukrainian raid on Russia’s border near Belgorod. The West is desperate to avoid having any meaningful discussion or review of the Battle of Bakhmut because it was such a massive loss. Think about it — a small “private” paramilitary force backed by former Chef with no military experience, forced Ukraine’s NATO-trained and supplied Army to retreat.
This is a very important point. Conventional military doctrine stipulates that an army attacking an entrenched force will need at least three times more soldiers than the defending force.. Looks like Russia is very unconventional. The Wagner Group’s 50,000 fighters defeated a Ukrainian force that employed over 120,000 troops, inflicting 70% casualties on the Ukrainians. Russia is writing new chapters for military academies and war colleges on how to attack and defeat a numerically superior force entrenched in fortifications. Russia was not fighting Afghan shepherds or Iraqi tribesmen armed with AK-47s. It faced off with a NATO proxy force, equipped with modern weaponry, and beat it. There is not enough lipstick in the world to paint this pig and make it look pretty.
Following my interview with the good Judge, I chatted with a retired CIA buddy who filled me in on the personnel disaster that is transforming the CIA into a fully woke institution. Thirty years ago an aspiring employee had to pass a polygraph and had to be drug free. Prior use of marijuana or other recreational drugs could be a show stopper. That was then. Now? The CIA only asks if the applicant has smoked pot or taken other illicit drugs in the year prior to applying to the Agency. I would not be surprised to learn that once a former drug user is brought on board that there is no obstacle for him or her to continue to indulge the guilty pleasure of getting buzzed (hopefully while not at work).
More disturbing is the current hiring practice — in a recent class for new analysts, 92% of the new hires came from one State. If you guessed Alabama or Virginia you would be wrong. 92% of the analysts hail from one of the most liberal states in the United States. The Agency hiring standard is welcoming the Woke crowd and eschewing men and women who profess traditional values. If you hold Conservative values you need not apply. You probably will not be hired.
I have written previously about the pressure CIA managers face when they write the yearly evaluation on their employees, which plays a key role in determining who gets promoted. If an employee is a minority or openly homosexual or transgender and does not get promoted the manager is required to write an explanation why he or she did not promote said person. Guess what happens? People get promoted because of their social justice status rather than the quality of their work. Is it any wonder that the quality of the CIA analytical product is succumbing to political pressure?
I don’t know about his pre-CIA drug use, but post. I’d love to get my hands on what ever Jack (bong master) Devine is smoking
The irony is the CIA got all mixed up with the “counterculture” back in the MKUltra days to disrupt the dissident hippie commie scum. It seems that while effectively disrupting these movements they managed to be swallowed by it’s most perverted conceits. Which makes sense since they helped foster those elements at the time. It’s no coincidence the fabled MKUltra Tavistock Clinic and other transjenga freak show institutions are all in on this gender deforming care racket.
The “Counterculture” was a creation of Clowns in Action, 100% from the start. The purpose was to give the Original (mostly White, middle-class) Antiwar movement a Bad Image – just like what was done to the “Tea Party” and “Occupy Wall Street” groups. It’s No surprise to me to see that the ‘agency’ is crumbling in the same manner as the ‘woke’ Military, and that’s a Good Thing, IMO. President Kennedy had the right Idea, this non-Constitutional, Treasonous entity needs to be Erased, and any of its past and present leadership needs to Hang.
When I look at Jack, I am reminded of a pelican and now “bong master.” This is too much. From now on, when I’m down, I’ll watch one of Jacks’s videos for some levity. Thanks Michael.
Johnson’s explanation of the western ruling mafia’s hatred of Russia and Putin, particularly, goes to the heart of the matter:
He exposes the lie of Russia’s “imperial ambitions” as sheer projection – and cynical mockery, one would add.
He reveals the real reasons for such hatred as being envy and greed; Russia’s ability to be and act independently due to its size, human capital and natural resources. Envy – most of them are appendages and poor in natural resources. Greed – most of them crave, lust after the wealth of their neighbour.
There is another equally fundamental motivation for their hatred – which Johnson has written about at other times – namely, their ideology of social depravity and political perversion; their demonic drive to develop a social and political revolution that creates a worldwide feudal beast of degradation and enslavement. Russia is, at this time, their only capable enemy, on all counts.
(China and India – with many other smaller countries – on Russia’s side is an essential part of current developments, but if Russia were not there all those countries would be swallowed up in no time)
What he does not want to admit, unsurprisingly and ubiquitous in all western civilization, is who is the group that is so obsessedly covetous and envious of Russian culture and material wealth.
Until that elephant in the room giddyly mocking us all, absolutely nothing will stop the monumental collapse of the west. There is no question in my mind, after the Bolsavik debacle and more than 70 years of misery, that Mr. Putin and Russian leadership does not understand precisely that. Although they also handle that knowledge delicately.
When will the west wake up? The truth sometimes hurts, but facing it is the only way to survival.
Clue: no foreskins.
Precisely.
And the Chinese also understand who that group is and have refused them any ability to gain control in China and subvert China. Which is why Soros and Kissinger are now so publicly irate with China.
The “opening to China”, which Kissinger got Nixon to do, was supposed to be an opening for Kissinger’s people in China. Instead, the Chinese accepted the investment and IP but ensured control remained firmly in the hands of the CCP, with no other parties being able to manipulate them.
The great plan to pillage and trash the US and West in general, while stepping across to global control through China, has fallen in a heap and Soros, Kissinger and their people are left in sinking lifeboats which they themselves sabotaged.
While Kissinger may have convinced the world that the opening of Russia was his idea, it wasn’t. It was Nixon’s.
CPC not CCP
Who exactly is ‘that group’?? Assuming your inference regarding the Bolsheviks is a hint, you may be interested in a bit of history….. Israel is the brainchild of UK and is likely controlled by MI6. Many conspiracy theorists believe that Mossad controls the world, controls both CIA/MI6 but it’s really the opposite. Israel was always the ‘forward operating base’ for the UK to gain a foothold into the Middle East to continue their Sykes-Picot and Great Game imperialism. MI6 of course completely controls and owns the CIA as well, and controls the entire U.S. establishment by way of it, but that’s another story.
In your own defense you should always use quotes for that piece of “history” that says the British Empire still exists and controls the entire globe via Mi6! And in the end, if you don’t want to name the author, you should at least warn the author also believes that Obama had to give Kisinger a blowjob to be President of the US! 😂
I think you should revisit your statement of: “There is no question in my mind, after the Bolsavik debacle and more than 70 years of misery, that Mr. Putin and Russian leadership does not understand precisely that.” Isn’t that more of people in the west UNDERestimating Russians and their leadership? Russians are as resilient as they are creative, i.e. writers, artists, engineering, etc. And they didn’t get that way by being stupid or unaware of what is going on around them. If they have any “faults”, it is that they wanted so much to be a part of rather than apart from. That is not on them; it is on the west. Just because they aren’t directly confronting what you are alluding to, doesn’t mean they are unaware of “them.”
The summary explanation is, the European Elite can’t pay the debt they have incurred for the last 70 years, and they want their colonies back including the USA. That is why we have an administration full of vandals with an Obama dummy at the top.
On the economic front, they are trying to destroy the faith and credit of the US by default or by limitless spending.
On the societal side, they have Soros destroying our culture with free sex, destroying the family unit with Feminism, attacking faith based religions with “God is Dead” and fanning hatred between poor and middle class, Black and White, men and women towards a civil war. There goal is to turn Americans into debt slaves, so the value of our labor will eternally belong to them.
These people are looters and vandals.
Putin never paid proper and de rigueur homage to the western ruling elite and its institutions. For two decades, he had the audacity to expect that Russian concerns had some semblance of validity to them beyond simple lip service.
When it became clear that the service the lip was providing was its ability to harbor a curiously forked tongue with an even more curious talent for speaking out of both sides of its mouth, well – then the charade was over.
I’m guessing the state is California.
Maybe Massachusetts. That state is a lost cause, all woke zombies with fancy diplomas from fancier universities but probably couldn’t name basic geographical points anywhere.
92%. It’s California, isn’t it? OTOH, I think Minnesota has the most trannies per capita.
Couldn’t be California, most of them are stoned.
Seeing the results , some can think decisions were made by people beyond stoned indeed. I know a thing or two about narcotics , and I can assure anyone that those people with such permanent effects are just high on their own stupidity … so , NJ maybe ?
I wish Larry wouldn’t tease us, and just TELL US which state, for crying out loud.
Virginia??
CIA central.

Please excuse the stutter. Every time I think of it, a brutal sense of angst descends upon my soul.
In an interesting interview, Economist (who seems more like a historian to me) Michael Hudson said that when he was growing up in Minneapolis in the late 1930s, the town was the only one in the U.S. that was Trotskyist. Amazing that any could be, yet throughout that region there were deep roots to European values totally out of sync with the American value set and worldview. Sheesh. Trotsky => Tranny?
Beyond the CIA,
Andrew McCarthy takes an in-depth look at how the left-wing is using the FBI to create the narrative they desire, to punish their opponents:
Democrats Cook the FBI’s Books on Domestic Terrorism
https://www.nationalreview.com/2023/05/democrats-cook-the-fbis-books-on-domestic-terrorism/
I’m thoroughly confused now. The FBI names white supremacist movements in America as the greatest threat to its democracy, yet names its very manifestation in Ukraine as the greatest expression of democracy in Europe.
Are we really that screwed up?
The vaunted FBI.
Our very own flying monkeys.
…..and who be the wicked witch of the west, my dear?
Does she bring cookies laced with concoctions of fear?
It was another great interview, I enjoyed it. I read and thought about what you wrote regarding CIA hires. I honestly have seen the same “woke” prerequisites for hire of teachers, law enforcement, fireman and a slew of public service positions from Federal level down. Along with promotions or being sidelined.
It appears that it’s now just all out in the open, have “right think” or stay unemployed/ non- promoted.
Does rather “taint” analysis of truth and reality though huh?
I can imagine a CIA analyst writing an analysis today, about even the simplest intel and winding up with quite the elaborate non sensical word salad gibberish that says zero.
Hey: in your spare time (lol) you should write and record a modern day intel analysis for the current “woke and enlightened” administration and publish it on YouTube… just for funzies… I’d love to see a CIA analysis skills like that!
Great idea!
I’m leaving. Going overseas when I lose my dog. But you understand this is for the best? Let them hire the black women, the dopers, the tranny drag queens that steal luggage.
It will 1) Bring about the downfall faster. 2) They will be easier to defeat.
Just saying. If there is any hope for this country, it will be regrowth from the ashes.
100% agreed
My father in law retired as a civil servant in DOD over 20 years ago. He told me 10 years ago that before he retired he ran interview panels where he was required to write an explanation as to why the panel did not recommend promoting a minority.
/1) Bring about the downfall faster. 2) They will be easier to defeat./
My guess here is that we all know a significant number of people who know nothing about the Ukraine conflict and the world, yet insist they do. It is like entering another world.
Now imagine an Intelligence Agency populated by people like that/this:
Tell Me How This Ends
“All these newspapers used to have foreign bureaus. Now they don’t. They call us to explain to them what’s happening in Moscow and Cairo. Most of the outlets are reporting on world events from Washington. The average reporter we talk to is 27 years old, and their only reporting experience consists of being around political campaigns. That’s a sea change. They literally know nothing.” ~ Ben Rhodes, DNSA under Obama
“Paging Ben Rhodes: BBC has empowered an actual 27 year-old to tell the world what it may be permitted to perceive as truth. Marianna Spring has no discernible training or experience in law, history, economics, or science, but she’s been on television for, like, several years, now, so. She is the arbiter. Fall into line, everyone.”
https://chrisbray.substack.com/p/i-have-to-think-about-it?
Imagine trying to do intelligence analysis with a background like that? The CIA will need to send all of these new recruits to Hillsdale College to get a 4 year degree in order to properly interpret the world. IMHO
Why are you waiting for your dog to get lost? You can take him with you overseas. Just don’t store him in the luggage for the tranny drag queens to steal.
Grant,
Other countries have bizarre and odd policies against dogs. There are places (like Australia) that have a 30 day or longer, quarantine. And part of my travelling is being light, and being able to move if anything goes wrong. That is much harder with a dog. And I have a large gun collection I am whittling down. I have about 3 years left with my baby. And she has a very spoiled and good life here with a park nearby and plenty of squirrels. I will hazard the short time for her benefit. She has been a good friend, and I will make her last days pleasant. I am not a good or for that matter even nice man. But I am loyal to my few friends.
lamentably agree. Near the end of my career in big energy construction, I was no. 2 to a man who had been candidate for Master Chief of the U.S. Navy. But he not only turned it down, he mustered out. “Chief Pete, how come?” “Because the Navy had started putting women on capital ships.”
When I was a mere college freshman, the draft still loomed large, and the lottery system was a lumbering Juggernaut everybody could see, and we hapless number-holders were trembling to see if we could escape the fate of our High School mates who, drafted or signing up, came home in body bags.
The shrill shrill mantra back then was, “draft women (but of course we shall never put them in combat duty.”
OK. Any capital ship of the U.S. Navy is automatically and at near zero notice “the front line” of combat.
but of course, the Brownie Scout girls who now are expected to populate aircraft carries such as the worthless Gerald Ford are too too dainty to have their pristine nostrils offended by the stink of urinals actually pissed in by male sailors. So the ship HAS no urinals. Ok, not a move forward for hygiene. But how about when the ship takes a couple of 2000 lb bombs and body parts and viscera and blood and excrement and and and are scattered all around? Are the dainty Karens still likely to be combat-effectives, or melting masses of Jello?
Alas. WHERE to go?
Very saddened to agree on your point.
The news cycle: Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut, Bakhmut… err… Belgorod. Dead Ukrainians shouldn’t count less than an actresses shit-in-a-bed scandal.
I’m certainly going to quote you when I eventually write about the propaganda war:
“The West is desperate to avoid having any meaningful discussion or review of the Battle of Bakhmut because it was such a massive loss. Think about it – a small “private” paramilitary force backed by former Chef with no military experience, forced Ukraine’s NATO-trained and supplied Army to retreat… The Wagner Group’s 32,000 fighters defeated a Ukrainian force that employed over 120,000 troops, inflicting 70% casualties on the Ukrainians. [It] was not fighting Afghan shepherds or Iraqi tribesmen armed with AK-47s. It faced off with a NATO proxy force, equipped with modern weaponry, and beat it. There is not enough lipstick in the world to paint this pig and make it look pretty.”
Well said!
Belgorod is an intermezzo before we move to “Chasov Yar holds” memes.
“Intermezzo” is a great description. Makes a lot more sense than “intermission”.
Being a non native English speaker, that’s what came to my mind first. I’ve never used term intermission, until now that is.
A well done video. Gulf of Tonkin was all a lie. McNamara lies straight faced to the cameras. Watch this if you wonder if we had something to do with Belgorod.

Good historical clip!
My view is that JFK had intentions to pull out of Vietnam. He was murdered and from that time to the present, the lies got bigger and more obvious and the us has been in a downward spiral ever since. Yeh, I know, stating the obvious.
I must have misheard, didn’t the Ghost of Washington just say that Russia had lost 100,000 in Bakhmut?
They use Ukro-missile-shooting-artihmetics.
The easy answer to which state feeds the CIA would be of course CA as it is our largest state in population. But then American Asians probably dominate the colleges. And given the current paranoid state of the Deep State, CIA probably not recruiting there. (Have a Chinese buddy whose nephew is a Canadian born citizen and he had to go through extra background checks just for that fact to get a job–poor guy does not speak any Chinese at all and has never been to China.)
My second pick would be the states with thee biggest whitest Ivy League school or schools. Nuland, Blinken and Sullivan are Ivy Leaguers. The purpose of the Ivy Leagues is produce the managerial class whose job it is to run the courts, financial institutes, foreign policy, banks, etc. for the master elite ruling classes.
Larry, Fellow Readers – let us not forget Gonzalo Lira.
Our very asking about him may save his life.
While I never comment online about anything, anywhere, I will break that rule and “second ” your thoughts. Please, lets find a way to help Mr. Lira.
Alex at The Duran mentioned an update on Gonzalo about ten days ago.
He said The US State Department is aware of his arrest and that an arrangement is being made to visit him in Kharkov.
That 3: 1 ratio that many Generals around the world keep repeating is what has served for Ukraine to claim 200 000 KIAs from the Russian side. Yet we have never heard of such heavy US casualties in all the countries it has attacked, say in the last 20 years! And from the US side we don’t hear about it because of the USAF! Because of the armament differential. And Bakhmut, which is already a big city, was also mainly destroyed by Russian artillery firing much more than 3 times more shells than Ukrainian artillery. We often hear ratios of 10:1 in the number of projectiles! VVS started working in Bakhmut on a more continuous basis, I think already in 2023!
And this is to say that since the beginning of the war, the Russian MOD has minimized Ukrainian casualties so as not to shock the world! Because even though we have no way of confirming the 50 Ukrainian brigades deployed in Bakhmut from Simplicius, we can all see photographs of Bakhmut’s final state. That even more than the number of brigades of Simplicius say that it is impossible that Ukraine only lost 20,000 men in a city the size of Bakhmut over the 10 months that the battle lasted! Which started precisely on the 1st of August 2022. I’ve heard of 50,000 KIAs and even 100,000 KIAs on the Ukrainian side and quite honestly none of the numbers surprised me. Because no one was talking about Bakhmut yet and a Spanish journalist, a fan of Ukraine, already wrote in El Pais in September and October of last year that Ukraine was losing an average of 500 men a day in Bakhmut! Just do the math!
In short, Bakhmut was not always a stormtrooper battle but an artillery battle that fulfills the role of the Air Force in a land war. With an overwhelming advantage on the Russian side, which in my opinion is what completely belies the need for a 3:1 ratio for attackers! The overwhelming majority of casualties in Bakhmut as throughout this war resulted from artillery fire! Because it certainly wasn’t the light arms of an assault brigade that destroyed all of Bakhmut’s buildings. Not tanks. For most of the battle in Bakhmut’s built-up areas, Wagner’s men advanced a few yards after the artillery barrages. And we all remember the several days that Wagner spent on the same street in the city in the first months of the Battle of Bakhmut. Only as the troops in Ukraine were depleted did Wagner begin to progress more quickly. Which also says a lot about the current state of the AFU! No army loses most of its strength in a battle to give up at the end if it still has strength.
Another story I never believed is that it was the comedian with his high degree from the Military Academy who sent 50 Brigades to Bakhmut! Which to date has proved to be the great fortress that NATO built to trap Russian troops and prevent Russia from liberating Donbass! The great reason for this conflict! All the men who fell at Bakhmut can only be NATO’s responsibility. That when began to notice such a large number of casualties on the Ukrainian side decided to burn the Kiev clown! With so many offshore accounts he might as well have a few thousand more casualties on your back! Finally I could be wrong, but I have the idea that the AFU practically ended in Bakhmut. I don’t believe in much more going forward on the Ukrainian side than a few quick NATO maneuvers here and there. To generate media hypes like these incursions into Russian territory now to divert attention from the fall of Bakhmut! And it’s not just me who doesn’t believe it! Its also what tells us about Biden’s change of pace on the F-16. Which prove that the US is no longer thinking about the counter-offensive but about a new way of delaying Russia’s progress.
That’s a very long explanation for something most thinking beings noticed long ago: ‘Ukraine lies through its teeth and every other way it can think of’.
Everybody lies! Including Russia minimizing Ukrainian casualties in Bakhmut. Today Prigozhin came to talk in more than twice KIAs! But the point is not Ukrainian lies. Ukraine has no relevance in this conflict! For the US it is a proxy and those who support the US/NATO want to see Russia lose hypocritically. Nobody is worried about Ukraine’s victory or defeat! This fact is also quite noticeable from the 1st day! Someone concerned about Ukraine is pushing for negotiations. The point is that Bakhmut was not taken by assault troops but by a combined arms operation over the course of ten months! Neither couldn’t! Stormtroopers tactically have very short missions in time. Even because they are exhausting as a rule. Bakhmut it was a meat grinder operation over ten months!
I notice now that as Bakhmut’s battle was coming to an end, Prigozhin’s theater made people completely forget about the Russian MOD’s strategy for Bakhmut. Grind as many Ukrainian troops as possible. And what a meat grinder that Prigozhin himself even admitted. After asking Selensky to continue sending men.
“Prigozhin’s theater made people completely forget about the Russian MOD’s strategy for Bakhmut”

As far as Wagner defeating Ukrainians, I don’t think it was so much as the skill of Wagner fighters who for most part were experienced fighters but that they had overwhelming artillery power and also modern portable RPGs, and were not short of drones, etc. Even the tanks that were in use within Bakhmut were more up-to-date modernised examples that were harder for Ukrainians to destroy.
As far as this meme about Wagner being composed of former criminals, that also is overstated. I have seen a figure of 8 or 10 thousand tossed around as being sum total of former convicts. It is said that total at any one time Wagner had there is 32,000 but that figure is too high to have around on the front line as they just get in the way of each other and are unnecessarily potential targets. In the end they do have to have a lot of guys in the background to take care of all the support stuff or take time to recuperate. When that opportunity was offered to prison population, I am sure they would have leaned towards ones that have served in military else Progoshin would have to be paying these members for many months extensive from the basics and up training rather than a more specific skills update. Professional fighters would not want to rely on unskilled colleagues to guard their backs.

Thanks for another great interview and blog, Mr Johnson.
A question on my mind: For what purpose[s] exactly do people set out to deliberately ruin their own country?
The USA today look to me like a pathetic caricacture of the country of Eisenhower and JFK that I used to love and admire!
Femi, it is odd. It seems to be a trait of Nordics – including those in America – to deprecate themselves. And a sort of Xenophilia. Then there is the anti white animus among Jews. Yeah, I said it. Overall, the Chinese word Baizuo applies. Be glad the Yoruba are not beset with this insanity. Anyone who hates his own lineage is pathetic.
femi
can you give an update on the status to eliminate cash coming from the nigerian government and central bank?
If it were not so catastrophically tragic for all the God-fearing, law-abiding citizens of this country, it would be funny, to see how our demon-filled leaders are tearing it down, brick by brick… and they don’t even realize it.
When the Roman Empire began to over-extended itself, in a quest to conquer the world and began to run out of money, one of their financial “geniuses” came up with a “brilliant” idea of cutting the edges of the gold coins in its treasure chest and mint new ones from the cutoff strips (the ancient version of printing money out of thin air, ha!), all the while they continued to throw lavish parties, where the guests would, from time to time, regurgitate their food, only to stuff their faces some more.
That’s exactly where our leaders find themselves, right before the total collapse of the US empire. It didn’t have to be this way, but that, my friends, is the tragic end of nations, when their citizens, from which their leaders originate, strip themselves from any God-given virtues and fill themselves with legions of demons. We are the ones supplying our own government with an ample supply of the Adam Schiffs, the Nancy Pelosis, the Eric Swalwells and, yes, the Joe Bidens…
America has faced many difficult hardships before, but the virtues our people possessed, in large enough numbers, made it possible to overcome those hardships, but when all you see beaming and blaring from all four corners of our nation is hatred, lying, greed, promiscuity and dishonesty, at the highest levels of our government…watch out… the end of the freedoms and abundance we enjoyed is near and “WE” made it possible!
I whole-heartedly agree with this.
That the CIA is being collapsed should be compared to other US institutions. This includes the military. People who are not qualified and are not competent are being placed in positions of authority.
This is probably well coordinated and planned. The deliberate demolition.
Institutionalized incompetence.
The warning signs have been there for years. Gone are the days when the CIA had honourable experts like yourself on board, Larry.
The CIA was in bad enough shape in 2015/2016 when it conspired with the White House, foreign intelligence services and the FBI to push the fake Trump/Russia hoax, easily the greatest scandal in US history.
Before that, it had deteriorated under Obama (and the incompetent John Brennan) to such an extent that it completely failed to detect Russia’s hypersonic weapons program – surely one of the biggest failures in US intel history, one that the West is paying dearly for now.
And that’s just one of its eye watering debacles.
In 2023, it my have a big budget but in reality, it’s sadly a 3rd rate agency without honour or competence, little more than a lapdog political arm of the Democratic Party. Employing the woke crowd as agents, arguably the most arrogant and ignorant people in the world, guarantees the CIA’s continued decline. It makes it far easier for any nation to protect and develop their secrets without any fear of detection, and their intel agencies to continue targeting and infiltrating America.
Sad, sad days.
This is how genius the CIA is:
Alex at The Duran mentioned that the CIA ran a recruitment ad on Telegram for Russians who want to become operatives.
Great freakin’ idea!
Of course there will be plenty of Russians who will join the CIA only to report back to their Kremlin handlers.
All this reminds me of MAD magazine’s “Spy vs Spy”. I actually had to study those a while before I figured out who got who. (1960’s)
The CIA should hire Emily the army girl daughter of two strong women.
When Biden says that there are 100.000 dead Russians in Bahmut, there are things that get to my mind:
1 / They usually project, which could easily mean 100.000 dead UKR soldiers
2 / But more neferious way of thinking about this then point 1) is that if they generally consider UKR same thing as RU, in which case they wouldn’t even be lying or projecting, since they don’t really care, and UKR and RU are all just same kind of expendable RU for them…
As for Simplicitus’s list of UKR units, it counts more then 50 different units, which means that actual UKR count is easily over 100.000, which also makes 100.000 UKR casualties in Bakhmut alone just as possible
“Simplicitus’s list of UKR units, it counts more then 50 different units,”
Not all the scum died in each unit/brigade/etc. Some had 70% wiped out, others 40% and so on. But still a huge amount.
Sure, I was not precise enough – with 50 units, total count of soldiers is way above 100k, can easily reach 150k, and with 50-70% attrition we are talking about 75k-105k casualties, I was just talking in general…
Forgot to mention in the video Spain and Portugal as two of the colonialism protagonist, Spain being possibly the biggest and most brutal.
I am afraid, sir, that you know very little of history. And much less the comparative history.
If we talk about brutality, bloody acts, biological warfare (smallpox blankets), teaching how to cut scalp, true genocide and other “wonders”… I think you should look up the Rio Grande.
Yes, im spanish.
Best regards everyone and thank you very much Larry for your great work.
Muchas gracias por sus
Best thing for the World that could happen. One of the Worlds most Dangerous and evil institutions get eaten by itself from the inside.
The significance of Bakhmut is being played down in the West. Actually, has been for a long time. I would say that the real significance of Bakhmut is the undeniable proof that whatever Ukraine does, Russia will eventually overpower it. And actually, why should this surprise anyone? A smaller, weaker, poorer country cannot win a war against a bigger, stronger, richer opponent. If only there were still some Christians left in Ukraine to remind Zelensky of the verse in Luke 14: 31-32……
“A smaller, weaker, poorer country cannot win a war against a bigger, stronger, richer opponent.”
Ukraine can never win, they are defeated already but your claim above is clearly wrong at least when it come to the USA which has never won anything on their own.
How many wars have they instigated since the end of WW2 and they still managed to balls it all up.
“A smaller, weaker, poorer country cannot win a war against a bigger, stronger, richer opponent.”
Korea. (technically a UN war but lets keep it real.)
Vietnam.
Iraq.
Afghanistan.
But there was resounding victory in the 1980s when the US defeated that colossal military empire in the Caribbean sea; Grenada.
There is a difference between fighting expeditionary war and an existential one.
Richard, I was referring to the head on collision type of war like the one being fought now between Ukr and Rus. Proper army vs proper army, tank vs tank, artillery vs artillery. Not the “asymmetrical war” type against insurgents and guerillas a la Vietnam and Afghanistan. Those are a different kind of conflict. General rule does not apply here.
What ‘proper army’? The banderite ukroids began their army skills in 2014 by shelling, mortaring and bombing Donbass civilians.
That ain’t no proper army. That’s a demilitarization project.
Whatever they did back in 2014, these “banderite ukroids” are not comparable with the Viet Congs and Taliban fighters. They developed into a conventional army formations, which put up a good fight against Russia, gun vs gun, tank vs tank, missile vs missile, but was eventually subdued, for the simple fact that Russia is the stronger party between the two. That’s really what I meant by proper army.
In February 2022 Ukraine had strongest army in Europe, not counting Russia and Turkey. They had more tanks than Germany, UK, and France, combined.
I’m sure there have been many good people who worked for the CIA. However the CIA has been a rotten, un-American and evil organization from the start. So was it’s predecessor, the OSA. Both the FBI and the CIA should be eliminated.

“Recent Hummer photo was staged diorama” says tow truck operator. Not my circus, have at it.
Most of what comes out of Kiev, Washington and Brussels these days is staged diarrhea.
There’s not enough tire tread there for gravel to stick to. Look for yourself. The guy’s a shill.
Tow truck driver my ass. Prob. the belching cat spreading more used cat litter to the masses via proxies.
Or…..could be that tow truck that ended up in a deep ditch while pulling my car out of a snow bank back in ’17 and had to call for tow truck #2.
BTW: My visual gauge tells me there was no more than a few mm of tread on that hummer’s tires. Excellent for catching…..nothing but flack.
The Company’s abilities were already taxed in the ‘purer’ days of the ‘80s … recent developments suggest that it may now be a destructive force actually working against the US’ best interests.
So who are they really working for?
More important: Robot fighter jets.
This was 12 years ago:
https://singularityhub.com/2012/06/29/us-navy-x-47b-robot-fighter-jet-completes-first-phase-of-testing/
should be straightforward to retrofit either a remote human control or an autonomous robot brain control into existing aircraft platforms, I would imagine. Various implications.
I’m sure Elon Musk was promising self driving cars next year, 12 years ago. US Navy was promising rail gun for a long time, before canceling it. Idiot that wrote that article does not know the difference between fighter jet and attack aircraft, not to mention that the proper term is neither (but unmanned combat aerial vehicle, UCAV, combat drone, drone or battlefield UAV).
Iranians have some drone carrier ships. How effective are those, is anyone’s guess.
As a slight offtopic, here’s a couple of nice photos for gun enthusiasts (old-school and new-school).

That was a good little talk with the Judge and your assessment of current CIA hiring practices is typical of the Transgender Reprobate Affirmative Action Program of the FJB Administration. It’s happening all over the country.
I like your comments about our Generals and Admirals. They should all be fired and replaced by Colonels and Captains once Regime Change in America has been accomplished. The same applies to all of the EU.
Neocons are Nazis.
Speaking of Colonels, I watched this podcast last night and went away realizing what an excellent Secretary of State Col. MacGregor would be:

“People get promoted because of their social justice status rather than the quality of their work.”
When this madness reaches the cockpits of airlines, we’re going to see planes falling from the sky.
This is your captain speaking, my pronouns are …
Your timing cracked me up. 😉
What makes it funny, is brain automatically reading it with the “intercom voice”. 😀
I’ve been reading a lot about the original Bolsheviks in the last year or two. The similarities between now and then are striking with one notable exception. Both then and now they were very committed and frankly, evil. But those guys back then were incredibly competent. People were put in charge who got results. If they didn’t get results either ideologically or materially they were fired, shot, purged or forcefully put out to pasture. We on the other hand get Pete Buttigieg. Which, of course, is good news for us. At its best, communism is pretty unworkable. But run by certifiable idiots, it collapses from the start. That isn’t to say these people aren’t dangerous and aren’t capable of tremendous harm. It’s just to point out that if you have an enemy who hates everything you stand for and is bent on destroying you, better he is an incompetent buffoon than something else.
“The Wagner Group’s 32,000 fighters defeated a Ukrainian force that employed over 120,000 troops, inflicting 70% casualties on the Ukrainians.”
However, acording to this piece:
Head of Russian private army Wagner says more than 20,000 of his troops died in Bakhmut battle
https://apnews.com/article/russia-ukraine-war-border-raid-4f63ade7fb3899b6fa903b562ada0e2c
No mention in the AP article of Ukrainian losses.
The head of the PMC Wagner, Yevgeny Prigozhin, revealed +- the losses in the area and city of Bakhmut in the interview.
PMC Wagner
85,000 fighters, of which 50,000 were prisoners.
Out of the 85,000 fighters, 20,000 died, of which 10,000 were prisoners.
The number of wounded fighters is unknown.
Armed Forces of Ukraine
At least 120,000 fighters, the exact number of fighters is unknown.
Out of the 120,000 fighters, 50,000 died, 50,000 – 70,000 were wounded.

I worked as a carpenter in a downtown Montreal hotel in the 90’s.
I was the only English speaking Canadian on a staff of 10 (I also speak French)
There were several French Canadians, 2 Czechs, a German, a Bulgarian and the boss who was also English and bilingual (French 2nd like me)
The point is, we were a sort of mini NATO/EU with English speaking leadership.
We got along as a unit, but there was no comradery, there were only cliques and there were HUGE language barriers. This is why I believe NATO is unsustainable when the SHTF
Every man for himself and f*** the English speaking imperialists.
This was on full display in 95 when French Quebec voted to separate from Canada. It was a very close call too. At the time, the English speaking west end of Quebec was reading the room and planning to partition Quebec. I have zero doubt the English would have voted to separate from Quebec and stay in Canada had push come to shove.
The English language was (and still is) under attack by insecure French speaking Quebec.
Sound familiar? I got the hell out in 97
My brother remains and has been assimilated but doesn’t realize it.
Now we are all under attack by Globalism and its favorite puppet Trudeau.
All roads lead to the City of London.
Richard Poe has made this abundantly clear with his excellent research
https://twitter.com/RealRichardPoe/status/1366423335148650502
The correct approach to achieving Quebec’s independence would be to put the vote for Quebec’s separation to the rest of Canada.
Ditto for Scotland and England.
NATO doesn’t seem to understand total nuclear war.. from a RU news cast:
Solovyov chimed in to say he hoped Ukraine understood that “if we lose, we are taking the whole world with us.”
“Let me remind you what the Supreme Commander said, ‘who needs the world if Russia isn’t in it?'” Solovyov said, referring to a quote by President Vladimir Putin .
The anchor then went on say that Russia should use its nuclear weapons, shed restrictions against testing and “convincingly demonstrate what we have.”

What it the employee composition of the NSA? How many foreign nationals? How many woke are coming in?
J. Brown says “Israel is a creation of the UK”. The Balfour Declaration may be named for Arthur Balfour, but it has been pretty much confirmed that it was written by Lionel Walter Rothschild, 2nd Baron Rothschild (of Tring), a leader of the Anglo-Jewish community. It is also documented the Declaration was vetted by Zionist leaders in the US before being presented, fait accompli, to the UK gov’t and the world via Balfour.
The UK merely wanted to shift the growing Zionist agenda out of their borders, just like German Nazis would more forcefully attempt soon after. Well THAT worked out well… NOT.
Other posters are wondering what group may be controlling the Western “leaders” incognito, it may be useful to look into the Banking Families that have manipulated every monarchy and “democracy” in Europe and beyond for hundreds of years. In case you didn’t know, Klaus Schwab is a Rothschild on his maternal side. However, the Rothschilds don’t seem to be fully onboard with the hyper-aggressive US-Neocon agenda, otherwise how could Macron (former Rothschild banker and toady) be sent off to China to “talk sense” into the Russians, but instead returning saying the EU needs to reduce US influence over the EU/NATO. Notice the EU sent von der Leyen in hopes of keeping a tight leash on Macron and failed. She had to fly home on commercial flights as the Chinese wouldn’t talk to her… only Macron apparently was invited and Ms van de Lying was given the party-crasher cold shoulder.
Maybe we all should at least consider the (perhaps wrongly) attributed statement by Gutle Schnaper who died in 1849, the wife of Mayer Amschel Rothschild.
“If my sons did not want wars, there would be none.”
For starters, a look at which countries’ central banks are NOT Rothschild-controlled. Russia, China, Iran, North Korea, Venezuela. I know the US likes to think it is fully in control of “the West”, but somehow that never seems to 100% true. Perhaps the Rothschild/WEF Great Reset is endangered by the loose-cannon US Neocon rush to break Russia, then China. “Softly, softly catchee monkey” as my Dad used to say, has worked since the Rothschilds set up shop in major European capitals, especially the City of London. The Rothschilds/WEFers may be a bit miffed that at least several decades of careful preparation are being trashed by Nulan and co.
Spot on – look behind every war since the beginning of the Red Shield goldsmiths in the 1700’s and you will find one of their banking institutions. Research the influence of the Bank of England in the US Civil War as well as Booth’s connection to British intelligence. Moe obvious and well known is the clandestine Jekyll Island meeting the presaged the passage of the 1913 Federal Reserve Act. In my opinion (as to which no one gives a whit), unless and until our Legislative body fires the unaccountable Fed by rescinding the Federal Reserve Act and replacing it with legislation that comports with our Constitution, we will have forever wars and manipulated internal division. Incidentally, The US controllers hate Putin, at least in part, because he forced the Western bankers out when he assumed the Presidency.
Prior use of marijuana or other recreational drugs could be a show stopper.
Which today would proabably mean the CIA could hire 1 person a year if all went well /s
Keep going up the food chain to the top, and you will find the Bilderbergers who keep continually implementing their plans for a NWO. Again, keep going up above the Western US-led governments, and you will find the super-rich globalist mafia who owns and runs them. And why do they want to destroy the US (and all Western nations) ? To take them over as one unit ! It’s a lot easier when they keep cutting the legs out from under all the resistors by the use of evil divide-and-conquer techniques, mostly by promoting sin-sin-sin (i.e. lawlessness), such as drug use, sexual immorality, tranny-fying everything, etc. to destroy generation after generation of kids with woke nonsense, making them unable to do anything, such as support themselves. The newly-dependent-on-government woke will then make the perfect army to fight the other half who resists. And the demonic, self-declared masters-of-the-universe will laugh, along with their father Satan, not caring how many Westerners – on either side of the battle – die in the process. Hard times are coming, and the CIA is a symptom, not the entire thing. Again, keep going up the food chain to see who runs it all. Truly, it’s of Biblical proportion at this point, and for any interested, see this: Revelation13.substack.com/p/revelation-13-happening-now
Correction: “resisters” above, not “resistors”. Thanks.
When I worked in engineering, the top performers were all cannabis smokers.
The dried banana peel shavings hoax, much cheaper.
Trudeau is the WEF figurehead (recruited in 1992) in Canada and Singh is an opportunistic WEF carpet-bagger in NDP clothes, but Freeland is the skunk in the woodpile. Being a WEF Director and formerly commissioned to write George Soros’ biography. Oh ya. and that little thing that her grandfather ran a newspaper for the Nazis before being included in Canada’s version of Operation Paperclip.
Somehow the Ethics Code for Parliamentarians doesn’t see Freeland’s WEF Director position as a prohibited conflict of interest, let alone borderline treason, owing primary allegiance to a non-Canadian political entity.
I wonder how long before Canada is renamed Rothschildistan. Schwab himself bragged that half the Canadian gov’t was WEF plants.
Canada needs to bottle itself up in old maple syrup bottles and throw itself out to sea. The Great Lakes will do in a pinch.
It used to command some respect. Now it commands nothing but derision as just another state sponsor of terrorism.

Big picture, is this level of corruption – as in putrification – an emergent property of humanity or is it just “another bad apple” that voting can fix?
Do we need an armed posse of 60something year olds with nothing left to lose to surround RFKjr? But even if he doesn’t get assassinated – and hist running mate Tulsi – what if no one reports on the selection so no one knows? Or what if people know but it’s still a selection because the PTBs know now they have no reason not to push the petal to the metal?
Who is going to jail the 51 intel ops that fsked the last election? And does that mean they don’t get their pensions? Dicking around the edges isn’t useful. What about Hillary and Obama? What’s the intersection with the 2nd Amendment, because SOMEWHERE, that point has to exist. Or maybe not; this might be an emergent property of humanity.
Of course, there was that boxcar of ammonium nitrate went “missing”. Know that these cars are barcoded and tagged – missing, yeah, right.
Perhaps I need a vacation, there is this yacht, the “Andromeda”, looks nice. Might be some traces of undersea explosives on the tables I need to clean off.
My dad, WW2, 10th Mntn, Italy. Spent the winter in the hut on Mt Washington, would ski down to get a beer with his buddies, one of whom broke his back doing that. The other three were various flavors of military “intelligence” yadda yadda. Dad would go with the emergent property, I think. Curmudgeons’R’Us.

Do you believe that there are high ranking members in the CIA that could be satanic occult members? Ricky Schroder speaks out https://www.bitchute.com/video/jFvmIZikT36D/

Not only in terms of Geo-political, but also in Military terms…
The Russians are rewriting the book, the ‘instruction manual’ and HISTORY.
We certainly are living in Historic Times.
Some even say “Biblical”
Just as it has already done (and continues to) with all the armed forces branches, ZOG is clearing out all White, Christian males who hold to the foundation stones of civilised society, faith, family and nation to be replaced by its drones who will be the ones who will carry out its bidding with absolutely no compunction against the ‘White supremacists, nazis and fascists’.
Americans had better understand that the only thing which prevents them being thrown into ZOG’s FEMA Camps already are their guns, but regardless of the ‘cold, dead hands’ rhetoric, how many Americans will ACTUALLY stand and fight when they do come for their guns?
The ranks of the alphabet soup that is ZOG’s security/intelligence agencies are being recruited en masse by those who will be its Cheka of tomorrow.
