That’s all that was needed: Charlemagne Prize for Zelensky

Volodymyr Zelensky is to receive the Charlemagne Prize in May. In the Coronation Hall of the Aachen City Hall. Probably no one there can remember where the Charlemagne Prize got its name from. A look at the Charlemagne situation.

by Max Erdinger

Who gave the Charlemagne Prize its name? Is it from Charles the coke maker? From Charles the comedian? From Charles the Unconscionable? Charles the aloof maybe? — No. The Charlemagne Prize takes its name from Charlemagne (748-814). That was quite a bustle. He managed to create a vast state entity for the first time since the fall of Western Rome. He defeated the Lombards, conquered the Avar Empire, secured the eastern borders of his vast empire against the Slavs and in the southwest against the Moors, and even Christianized the Saxons after a long war in 804. When he became king, his empire encompassed almost the entirety of today’s France and half of today’s German territory. When he died it had almost doubled its size and Charlemagne had been Emperor for fourteen years. From king to emperor. [An overly power-hungry, greedy, and religious genocidal maniac, in my eyes. That makes it the perfect prize for these power-hungry, greedy, ideological retarded genocidal maniacs.]

What does that have to do with Zelensky? — Exactly: nothing. Nothing at all. His empire is not expanding; it is shrinking. Also, he is not Christianizing anyone, he is de-Christianizing the Orthodox church in his developing country. He also has it bombed back to the Stone Age. In short: Zelensky is an absolute failure. If you really wanted to give the Charlemagne Prize to someone from their corner of the world, you should have chosen Vladimir Putin. At least he’s expanding properly, and overall he’s a more dignified person than the trained comedian from Kiev. Putin is clearly more emperor than the purchased pro-American king and dick pianist Zelensky. So they chose the wrong person in Aachen to give the Charlemagne Prize. Of course they wouldn’t contest that in Aachen. And in Berlin.

So what is this guy supposed to get the Charlemagne Prize for? — No idea. The Charlemagne Prize of the City of Aachen has been awarded since 1950 to personalities who have made a contribution to the unity of Europe. Personalities, not questionable figures. Unity of Europe? — Zelensky? — Nope.

The question of why the Original Chief-Ukrainer should receive the Charlemagne Prize is definitely easier to answer. The prize cannot defend itself against being awarded. It is not awarded to Zelensky because he deserves it, but because the awardees want to pretend that they have been on the right side for years. Or more pathetically: On the right side of history. But that is grossly wrong. They’re probably awarding the Charlemagne Prize to Zelensky because they have to act as if they couldn’t have known any better. It’s a kind of self-exculpation award ceremony along the lines of: We’ve all screwed up a lot, Zelensky most of all — and that’s why he gets the prize. It will probably be the last time that the city of Aachen honors someone with the Charlemagne Prize. Because: What decent person would allow himself to be decorated with it in the future, knowing that Zelensky has already received it? — Precisely. None. Bodo Ramelow [Minister-President of Thuringia] maybe. Or Annalena Baerbock [current Foreign Minister]. They don’t care what they are awarded with, the main thing is prize and press coverage. Everyone else would say: kiss my…

So far it is not certain whether Zelensky will even come to Germany in May. Because that collides with his date for the major Ukrainian offensive. He would not like to miss his victorious major offensive at home. It is said that they had collected masses of drones, his own. They then want to use them to expand their war into Russian territory. One will soon have to speak of “Zelensky’s war of aggression”. But the Russians will presumably be faster, so that not much will remain of the major Ukrainian offensive.

Does Sending “Peacekeepers” to Ukraine Guarantee World War III?

Posted on by

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the Austrian outlet eXXpress. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Orbán warns of secret EU plan: peacekeepers for the front in Ukraine?

“Peacekeepers, peacekeepers from the EU nations, are to be sent to the front lines. If that happens, World War III will draw closer,” warns Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán in a recent interview.

According to Viktor Orbán (59), the plan for sending tens of thousands of peacekeepers to the east of Ukraine, which has already been discussed among the heads of state of the EU nations, sounds sensible on the surface: These EU troops are intended to separate the two warring parties and thus secure a ceasefire zone — it should bring a quick end to the bloody hostilities.

But the Hungarian Prime Minister sees an extremely great danger in this plan: “We are approaching World War III with it,” says Viktor Orbán in a recent interview with Kossuth Radio.

With peacekeeping troops in the Ukraine, there is a risk of a world war

And it’s pretty clear what Orbán means by this: If German, British, French, Polish and maybe also Austrian peacekeeping units are standing in the rubble fields of Bakhmut and other frontline towns, incidents may very quickly occur — the first shots could lead to firefights, then escalate to massive acts of war. This would mean that NATO and EU countries would suddenly be involved in a dramatic military conflict with the Russian Federation. [Personally, I believe that this is the name of the game — ESCALATION.]

The motivation behind the elaboration of the EU plan to send peacekeeping forces to the front lines in Ukraine is not difficult to see: not only are the Ukrainian armed forces running out of weapons systems and ammunition in the current war of attrition, they are also increasingly short of soldiers. The 1,200km-long front is impossible to hold with fewer and fewer able-bodied men.

The government in Kiev is still hiding the current casualty figures, but according to their own statements, battalions deployed near Bakhmut lost up to 80% of their soldiers. In addition, military observers in Western Europe know that a radical wave of recruitment is once again underway in Ukraine: even extremely young boys and older men are being forcibly drafted into the army. [Sounds like 1944-45 in Nazi-occupied Germany, doesn’t it?]

Orbán warns: “Our security is at risk”

The Federal Government has not communicated how Austria is reacting to these EU plans. On the one hand, there is nothing to be said against another peacekeeping mission by neutral Austria; on the other hand, the resulting high risk of being drawn into a direct conflict with the Russian Federation should be given sufficient attention.

And Viktor Orbán also said in an interview with the radio station: “In any case, the war is becoming more and more brutal and bloody. The Hungarian population is concerned; our safety is at risk. We must reach a ceasefire — if there is one, then peace talks are possible.”

Ukrainian Nazism

Sunday Chronicle: Ukrainian Nazism

by Karl-Olov Arnstberg
March 19, 2023

When Putin sent troops into Ukrainian territory on February 24, 2022, it was with the stated mission of “demilitarizing and de-Nazifying” the country.

For Western media, Putin’s language was inaccurate and offensive. As in all other contexts, it was obvious that Putin was lying. Eventually I realized that the Ukrainian Nazis were not just a matter of general accusations, and decided to dig, not too deep but a little bit. What I found no MSM reporter would ever dream of writing.

As a journalist, you must not violate the moral dichotomy: if one is evil, the other is good. When the Russians invade Ukraine, they are evil. And because they are evil, the Ukrainians are good. When I write about Nazism in Ukraine, I become evil because I am attacking the good guys. If I had written about Russian Nazism instead, I would have ended up among the good guys. Yes… there are quite a few people who think that stupidly.

But not you, right?

The actor and comedian Volodomyr Zelensky won a landslide victory in Ukraine’s presidential election in April 2019. He didn’t have much of a platform, but he promised to stop the low-level civil war that had been raging for five years between Russian separatists and far-right paramilitaries in the Donbass region.

Of the latter, the openly Nazi Azov Battalion was the largest and most militarily capable unit. Since 2014, it had been part of the Ukrainian National Guard. Eight percent of those who participated in the Euromaidan belonged to Azov. That doesn’t sound like much, but another report says that they were extremely effective and without them the effectiveness of Euromaidan would have dropped by 90%.

When Zelensky took office in May 2019, Azov had de facto control of the strategic southeastern port city of Mariupol and its surrounding villages.

The majority were killed in the battle for the Azovstal steel plant, where they held out for three months against the vastly superior Russian army. When they finally surrendered, there were 500 soldiers left. I don’t think they have survived either, having taken part in the fighting in Bakhmut.

What enabled Zelensky to campaign so successfully was the support of the Ukrainian oligarch and billionaire Igor Kolomoisky. He also supported the Azov Battalion and financed private militias such as the Dnipro and Aidar Battalions.

When needed, he used them privately, to protect his financial interests. In early October 2021, the leaked so-called “Pandora” documents showed that Kolomoisky had used foreign accounts to make Zelensky and his inner circle wealthy.

On October 25, 2019, six months after his election as president, Zelensky unexpectedly appeared in Zolote, a small town in the battle zone of the Donbass region. A ceasefire was underway. Both the Russian-backed militia and the Ukrainian army would retreat, leaving a no-man’s land between them. If Zelensky achieved a ceasefire, he could start peace talks with Putin. Now he wanted to meet the Azov veterans. They had to stretch out their arms, too.

This did not go well at all. When Zelensky learned that Azov was hiding illegal weapons to continue fighting, he was furious, and scolded them. The scene was filmed and went viral on social media.

Archbishop Viganò: “What We Need is an Anti-Globalist Alliance”

Posted on by


Archbishop Carlo Maria Viganò, a retired Apostolic Nuncio to the United States, has involved himself in numerous controversies over the last twenty years or so. He has been a tenacious critic of Pope Francis and an outspoken opponent of the totalitarian Corona regime that took hold throughout the West in 2020. More recently he has spoken out vigorously in opposition to the proxy war waged against Russia in Ukraine.

In the following video Archbishop Viganò declares his support for Russia, and the Orthodox Church, as the last bastion of Christian civilization against the infernal plans of the globalists of the World Economic Forum and other organizations working to realize the New World Order.

Presearching COVID-19

Posted on by

The neologism “prebunking” — of relatively recent coinage — means to debunk “disinformation” in advance. I was inspired to coin something similar for this post: “Presearching”, which means to do scientific research on something before it exists. (Yes, I know there is an online search engine called Presearch, but I thought up my usage independently.)

Not only was COVID-19 presearched before the virus ever appeared in Wuhan, but some of the presearch may have been conducted in one or more biolabs in Ukraine. How’s that for a Harmonic Convergence?

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from Uncut News:

Romanian media report explosive documents. The US funded Covid research even before the virus emerged!

Material released on the website USAspending.gov, which officially shows how public money is being spent in the US, has revealed shocking details about Covid-19. So we learn that the US Department of Defense funded research on Covid-19 in 2019, before the new coronavirus had emerged or been “named” by the World Health Organization. The same website also shows numerous grants to laboratories in Ukraine under a program to reduce biological threats.

The website USAspending.gov, which makes all public spending transparent, shows that more than $4 trillion has been spent on Covid in the US to date. The Department of Defense Contracts section lists Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp, which received a $77 million contract. Interestingly, on November 12, 2019, one of the US company’s subcontractors, Labirint Global Health Inc, received more than $369,000 for a project titled SME Manuscript Documentation and Covid 19 Research. This comes at a time when the World Health Organization had not even named the new coronavirus “Covid-19” in February of 2020, and before the first cases of SARS-Cov-2 appeared in Wuhan in December of 2019.

“Also, on December 12, 2019, a non-disclosure agreement was signed between NIAID, Fauci’s agency, and Moderna on the one hand, and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on the other hand, for the transfer of the candidate coronavirus messenger. December 12 is the date of signing, but the agreement was probably drafted and negotiated long before that. According to MEP Cristian Terheș, a public information request to the EMA has revealed that Moderna submitted the first clinical trials for coronavirus messenger RNA vaccines as early as October 5, 2016, and Pfizer-BioNTech reported its first clinical trial of the Covid vaccine at the EMA on January 14, 2020, just three days after the outbreak in China and the official announcement by the WHO,” said the citizen-activist Aurelian Popa.

Intensive preparations

In 2016 Moderna received a $20 million grant from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation for a project to evaluate combinations of antibodies in a preclinical study and a Phase I clinical trial for a potential messenger RNA treatment, adds the citizen-activist Aurelian Popa. Moderna later confirmed that grant was increased to $100 million. The terms of this agreement provide that Moderna agrees to grant certain non-exclusive licenses to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. At the same time, however, Moderna retains the right to exploit this intellectual property at its own discretion. “All this evidence shows that both Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates prepared and invested money in these messenger RNA technology-based vaccines, confirming the hypothesis that the pandemic was created for the vaccine and not the other way around. It should also be noted that the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation is a major sponsor of both the World Health Organization and the Global Alliance for Vaccine Initiatives,” said the citizen-activist Aurelian Popa.

Ukraine is everywhere

According to expose-news.com, Black & Veatch Special Projects Corp’s transaction history shows 115 transactions with recipients and brief descriptions, most of which are items such as “Laboratory Equipment for Kiev” and “Office Furniture for Kiev.” The recipients of the funds include ALT UKRAINE LTD, BIOLABTEKH LTD, UNILAB, SMART DEFENSE, for laboratory equipment for Kiev and Odessa. In September of 2012, the US Department of Defense’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) awarded a contract to a global engineering, procurement and construction company specializing in infrastructure development. The contract was for a biological threat reduction program in Ukraine and was awarded in October of 2020.

A German armaments manufacturer wants to build a tank factory in Ukraine to be close to the customer. What could possibly go wrong?

Many thanks to Hellequin GB for translating this article from the German-language service of the Epoch Times. The translator’s comments are in square brackets:

Close to consumers: Rheinmetall wants to open a tank factory in Ukraine

The Ukraine war gave the German armaments industry a strong economic upswing. Now the traditional German company Rheinmetall is planning to build a tank factory in Ukraine.

The armaments group Rheinmetall is negotiating the construction of a tank factory on Ukrainian soil. “A Rheinmetall plant can be built in the Ukraine for around €200 million,” said company boss Armin Papperger to the Rheinische Post (Saturday edition). It could produce up to 400 Panther-type main battle tanks annually. The talks with the Ukrainian government are “promising”. Papperger hoped for a decision “in the next two months.”

The Rheinmetall boss was convinced that the plant could be protected against Russian air raids. “Anti-aircraft protection would not be difficult.” [Against their hypersonic Kinzahl missile? Yeah, right.]

The Ukraine needs 600 to 800 tanks for a victory, stressed the Rheinmetall boss. In order for the quantity to come together, the construction of new tanks would have to start quickly. “Even if Germany gave up all of the 300 Leopard 2 tanks available to the Bundeswehr, that would still be far too few.” [And half of those don’t work because the lack of spare parts.]

According to the current status, Rheinmetall is making around 250 tanks available in connection with the Ukraine war: “We are working at full speed,” said Papperger. “We have already made more than 40 Marder infantry fighting vehicles operational; by the end of the year there will be around 100. Around 30 tanks are ready out of 50 Leopard 2A4s. In addition, there are around 100 older Leopard 1 models, of which we can make 88 usable again from today’s perspective.”

Papperger expects the war to last “probably for years to come.” “Although the Western Allies are sending enough weapons there so that Ukraine can defend itself, the Ukrainians do not have enough equipment today to completely reconquer their territory.” At the same time, Russia does not have as many resources as the West as a whole, the boss of Rheinmetall said. But he couldn’t see “that the leadership around Putin is making cutbacks in its aggressive course towards Ukraine.”

Viktor Orbán: “That is Their War, Not Ours”

The following video features excerpts from Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán’s recent annual “state of the nation” speech.

Many thanks to László for adjusting and timing the official translation, and to Vlad Tepes and RAIR Foundation for the subtitling.

The translator includes this context for Mr. Orbán’s remarks just before the end of his speech:

This is Prime Minister Orbán’s reaction to a recent huge national scandal that broke out after a 40-year-old homosexual paedophile assistant schoolteacher performed a public pedo “coming out” in videos, smugly claiming that he could not be punished because his young male “partners” (some of them probably his students) were over 14 and thus were legal targets for him, and therefore he is not even a paedophile but an “ephebophile”. And he threatened everyone in Hungary that he was being protected by Soros’ NGOs, which are defending him free of charge in any legal battle, and therefore anyone who dared to disparage or challenge him would lose a fortune in the lawfare that he would wage.

NATO on the Ropes in Ukraine

Posted on by

In the following video recorded earlier today, U.S. Army Col. Douglas Macgregor (ret.) talks to Judge Napolitano about the situation in Ukraine, keeping in mind President Biden’s visit to Kyiv yesterday and President Putin’s speech today.

The stakes in the current conflict are extremely high, but political and military leaders on our side seem quite calm, almost blasé, about what’s happening. I can only hope that the boffins in the Pentagon and the CIA know what they’re doing, and have all the contingencies covered.

And I presume their bunkers are buried deep enough, and fully stocked. It may get a little tricky for the rest of us, however.

The Balloon Goes Up

Posted on by

Our Dutch correspondent H. Numan sends his take on the Great Spy Balloon Crisis.

The balloon goes up

by H. Numan

The US Air Force shot down a Chinese spy balloon. Yes, it really was a spy balloon. However, there’s more to it than that. This is so mind-bogglingly stupid that words almost fail me. Even worse, it opens the door to a possible Chinese invasion of Taiwan.

Let’s start with the latter. Earlier I wrote an article about why the CPC (Communist Party of China) will not invade Taiwan. I still stand by that. If China invades or tries to invade Taiwan, the East will turn red indeed. China cannot invade Taiwan, unless it is willing to incur the biggest military losses in world history. Military planners expect China to lose up to a million soldiers trying to get a foothold on the island. That’s just to get there. After that it will get even more nasty.

There are many nations with the capability to build a nuke within weeks, Taiwan being just one of them. If, for example, The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Sweden, Switzerland and many other nations were to feel the need, they can do that. They don’t, because they have other priorities. However, if push comes to shove, Taiwan may very well build one. As a parting gift to Beijing. If they are going to be exterminated — something that China repeatedly suggested — why not go out with a bang?

I don’t want to discuss the nuke issue here. This is just one scenario that might happen. The crux of the matter is that at this moment China is so badly managed that the risk of losing a million soldiers in a vainglorious and likely doomed invasion might be possible. China is no longer a one-party state, but a one-leader state.

Xi Jinping has more power than Mao attached to himself. Far worse: he has surrounded himself with yes-men only. Anyone not toeing the line disappears. That’s how great leaders consolidate power. First he removed all opposition. Then anyone within his faction who might pose a threat to succeed him. He accomplished that, and is now surrounded by worshipers or people who just do what they are told. Effectively, China is not governed by its government, but by Xi Jinping only.

The balloon incident is a result of that. The people who launched the balloon (air force) didn’t tell anyone, not even the foreign affairs department. China is very busy expanding its nuclear missile capacity. Until recently they had a few hundred missiles. China wants to play in the big leagues, and that means having a much larger nuclear arsenal. The problem is that they don’t have the necessary infrastructure. That is a problem, and problems are to be solved.

So someone got the bright idea of launching a huge spy balloon to go see how the Americans did it. The general was bright enough to not tell anyone; that might spoil the fun. If he could present the images and information directly to Winnie the Pooh himself (the nickname of Xi Jinping; he hates it) it might earn him a marshal’s baton. It must have been a general, and a high-ranking one at that, because brigadiers or lower cannot make those kinds of decisions.

The balloon is about 100 meter in diameter, with a gondola under it the size of a passenger aircraft, a Fokker Friendship, or ATR 72-sized. That’s pretty big, many times bigger than any weather balloon. It also had some propellers. Not for navigation — the balloon was too big for that — but to maneuver the gondola a bit.

We don’t know when the US spotted the balloon. That’s classified. Perhaps it was observed in Chinese airspace when it reached the stratosphere. Rest assured it was observed long before it reached US airspace. What to do wasn’t a question either. Shoot it down, when it entered US airspace. The only question was: where.

And Now… UFOs!

Posted on by

Forget about Hunter Biden’s laptop. Forget about the collaboration between the US government and Twitter to censor Americans. Now we have UFOs to preoccupy us!

If I’ve been counting the incidents correctly, in the past week there have been no fewer than four intruders into American airspace that were shot down by the USAF: the notorious Chinese spy balloon, followed by three other “objects”, one over Alaska, one over Canada, and the latest over Lake Huron.

Are these UFOs being served up to distract the viewing public from various scandals and political disasters that the FedGov would rather see buried? Or is there really something new going on?

I don’t have any opinion on the whole business, but there’s been some interesting discussion about it on various social media platforms. Consider the following thread (hat tip WRSA) that jumped back and forth between Twitter and Telegram.

First, Lucas Tomlinson on Twitter:

A senior U.S. official confirms the ‘object’ shot down over northern Alaska Friday was able to penetrate U.S. airspace before being picked up on radar. @nancyayoussef and WSJ colleagues first to report.

Next, Intel Slava Z on Telegram:

If Balloons can get into U.S. airspace undetected, I’m really curious what they think they can do to stop Russian or Chinese hypersonic missiles?

Then Big Serge on Twitter:

My theory about the airspace closures and intercepts is that the DoD cracked open that first Chinese balloon and found sensory capabilities that really freaked them out, so now they are being hyper-vigilant about any and all radar anomalies.

Finally, Intel Slava Z again, on Telegram:

Comment: The USAF pilots who intercepted the one shot down over Alaska said the object inferred [sic, should be “interfered”] with their sensors and the object itself was initially undetected by Radar. Apparently the one over Montana has been doing the same, so this does seem a valid theory.

If PLAAF tech is such that even balloons can go undetected by and mess with the electronics on an F-22, that’s an extremely ominous sign for the U.S. in the case of a Taiwan War where the J-20s get deployed…

Western values?

Professor recommends using women’s corpses to carry children

In a scientific article, a Norwegian professor recommends using women’s corpses to carry children. Russian television broadcast a very clear comment on this.

It’s no joke: a Norwegian professor has in all seriousness recommended using women’s corpses to carry babies. It is clear that this does not go down well in Russia, where conservative values prevail and transhumanism is massively criticized. Russian TV aired a stark comment on this in its weekly news review on Sunday, which I translated.

Start of translation:

Norwegian professor suggests using cadavers as incubators

There’s a new word in Western bioethics. Anna Smajdor, a philosophy professor at the University of Oslo in Norway, suggests implanting dead women with embryos to develop them until childbirth.

“We cannot yet completely abandon the womb for our species to reproduce, but we can transfer the risks of childbirth to those who are no longer harmed by it,” says the professor.

Anna Smajdor’s work was published in the journal Theoretical Medicine and Bioethics. The point is that a body is considered dead anywhere in the world once brain death has been determined. This may happen suddenly — as a result of a heart attack, a stroke or a life-threatening head injury. However, if acted upon quickly, medical life support systems can keep the body circulating and breathing for as long as one wants.

And if so, a dead woman is formally ready to be a surrogate. She can be artificially inseminated on the right days, or her eggs can be used for artificial insemination. And one can implant a live embryo in the uterus of the surrogate and feed the body of the dead surrogate via tubes, monitor the blood values and the normal development of the fetus and, when the time comes, perform a cesarean section. The baby is alive and the surrogate goes to a better place. Or, if the technique of vegetative life support allows and the body is sufficiently intact, there is a new pregnancy.

Anna Smajdor anticipates the objections of feminists, who already object to seeing woman merely as a container for children, but here is a mere container, with no superfluous functions. The Oslo professor, who advocates for gender equality, also says that dead men can give birth to children — men who no longer have a brain but still have a liver. A liver, it turns out, can also function as a uterus.

“Men can also take part in the ‘whole body donation for pregnancy’. Pregnancy can also occur outside the uterus. The liver is a promising implantation site due to its excellent blood supply. This can be risky, even fatal, for the human carrying the fetus, but for brain-dead donors the term ‘lethal’ is meaningless,” writes Smajdor.

Munich: Peace For Our Time

Posted on by

For many decades, the global pacifist movement has been a subset of the Left. Anti-war demonstrations are, generally speaking, a leftist phenomenon. However, the leftist Narrative on the Russo-Ukrainian war is that “democracy” in Ukraine is the great existential crisis of our time, and the progressive West is required to send guns, bombs, planes, missiles, tanks, military advisers, and anything else that will help the Ukrainians win their war. For that reason, anti-war protests about Ukraine have been muted, because they run counter to the Narrative. Opposition to the conflict comes mostly from the Right.

The following rally in Munich is an exception. In the video below you can see a vigorous protest by German pacifists against the war in Ukraine.
