By now most of you must have heard about the “mysterious” missile strike which hit Poland. If you missed it, here are some articles which show how this non-event was developed by the media:

It is actually quite interesting to see how this story “developed”. First it was presented as a Russian attack. Of course. What else could it be?
Then it became pretty obvious that the missile was a Ukrainian S-300 air defense missile. Now I should tell you that the Ukronazis have accused Russia of using old S-300 against ground targets. However, there are no Russian S-300 within range of the location in Poland where the missile landed, only Ukrainian ones. And, as Gonzalo Lira pointed out, a Polish farmer really did a great thing when he photographed the debris of the missile. I would note that Lira is wrong when he thinks that a Russian missile could only come from the East. Russian standoff weapons use satellite, inertial and terrain following guidance to follow a carefully prepared track to bypass air defenses and they very much can fly around a target before hitting it from “behind”.
Very predictably, the usual gang of nutcases demanded a UNSC meeting and a NATO meeting. The Ukies were especially vociferous, and it is pretty obvious why: Ukronazi S-300 have been hitting buildings for quite a while now, and each of these explosions was, of course, blamed on Russia (or even personally on Putin). There are videos on Telegram of Ukrainian air defense missiles taking off, making a large curve and either exploding in mid-air or, worse, hitting the ground. The exact same thing happened during the Gulf War when US Patriots failed to intercept Iraqi SCUDs and actually killed people on the ground. Kiev’s attempts to conceal the real origin of this missile by loud hysterics about “Russian aggression” did not work out too well this time.
Initially, it appears that some Polish politicians wanted to immediately use this incident to create even more tensions, but the rather tepid reaction of the US sent them a clear message: the US is not interested in participating in what would be a truly ridiculous (and potentially very dangerous) PSYOP or false flag.
The Poles got the message and soon they also agreed that the missile was Ukrainian.
The only “consolation prize” the Poles and Ukies got was a flaccid US statement to the effect that Russia was “ultimately responsible”, which is about as meaningful and interesting as a wet firecracker.
Still, the Hyena of Europe is trying hard to show its prowess by fighting “little wars” since their US masters do not allow them (yet!) to trigger the big war that this hyena desperately needs to, yet again, bite off some land from the defeated Ukraine (just as it did during the partition of Czechoslovakia with Hitler’s help in 1938).
The latest Polish victory is their “defeat” of Roger Waters whom they have now banned from performing in Poland. Roger Waters was already listed as an “enemy of the Ukraine” on the infamous “Mirotvorets” hitlist. Now he has been upgraded to the status of “enemy of Poland”.
Yet another confirmation that Nazi Ukrainians, the Latin Poles and Zionist Israelis have the same “enemies” in spite of their, comparatively minor, differences in ideology.
To be fair, the UK, Canada, Banderastan or any of the three Baltic statelets are no less hyenas than Poland – they too only show courage when protected by the US overlords.
So yes, this time around, the Ukronazis and the Poles could not use an indisputably Ukrainian missile to try to strong arm NATO into attacking Russia. But what will happen the next time if not photos are available (the Ukronazis have already banned the making of photos or videos from any location hit by any missile!)?
So where is this all heading?
Simple: first, the Poles hate the Ukrainians just as much as they hate Russians. The Ukrainians, by the way, hate the Poles no less than they hate Russians (and Jews). The only difference is that the Polish anti-Ukrainian hate is laced with contempt whereas their anti-Russian hate is laced with fear. Add to this picture the Brits with their own imperial phantom pains and sense of racial superiority over the “continental” Europeans (“fog over the channel, Europe isolated“) and you quickly see that there is plenty of hate going around amongst these “allies”.
So what we are dealing with is an entire pack of hate-filled hyenas.
The Poles and the Ukies have one main thing in common – they want NATO to wage war on Russia: the Ukies want this to simply survive and the Poles to grab a piece of the Ukraine. Some political parties in Poland even want Ukrainian refugees to pledge their loyalty to Poland! Truth be told, the Ukronazis have passed laws which, in essence, allow Polish nationals to have the same right as Ukrainians.
Sure looks like Poland wants at least some parts of Banderastan, which are being prepped for an eventual fusion into one entity. Boy, if that really happens, the EU will have a big and very ugly problem on its hands :-)
And, of course, NATO leaders would love to defeat Russia in a major war, but they know that they simply don’t have the manpower to do so, hence the US “caution” and talks about “deconfliction”.
Some are contemplating some kind of “coalition of the willing” or an “alliance of democracies” but all these pretty sounding concepts provide neither manpower nor firepower. That approach failed miserably everywhere it was tried, and it will fail again.
Attacking Russia when Russia is weak, or already under attack from other enemies, in a time-honored Polish tradition and their national hero is a psychopathic leader who seriously wanted Poland to become a European superpower by seizing all the land between the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea. God knows they tried enough times to know that this simply won’t happen, so the next best thing for the Poles is to grab as much of the Ukraine as possible.
The other “sophisticated” strategy of the Poles is to be the most abjectly subservient poodle in the “Anglo Eurokennel” with the hope that what Rumsfeld’s “new Europe” (aka Poland) would replace the “old Europe” (aka Germany and France). Remember how they wanted a “Fort Trump”? There were even willing to pay (mostly with EU subsidies) for the “honor” to house US forces!
That is how Poles want to become an “EU superpower”. No kidding!
The same goes for the Brits whose centuries old foreign policy can be summed up in once sentence “set fire to Europe by triggering wars and revolutions”.
Unsurprisingly, the Brits and the Poles are currently having something of a love fest (in spite of the British sense of superiority over this wannabe European superpower).
Their biggest problem is that neither country has nukes and they both need Uncle Shmuel’s go ahead not only to use nukes, but even to organize a (comparatively) minor incident or false flag. And while the Poles have been (and still are) arming themselves like crazy, the British military is mostly a joke. And there is simply no way the Poles would muster the (admittedly suicidal) courage to attack Russian forces by themselves. The three Baltic statelets would gladly contribute to such a noble cause, but their military capabilities are really puny and their geography a death sentence should they attack Russia.
That is not to say that there are no Poles fighting in the Ukraine. There are at least several thousands Poles currently fighting in the Ukraine but, just as the rest of the NATO personnel, they are officially either “volunteers” or “advisors” or “aide providers”. By the way, the “old Europeans” are also well represented in the Ukraine with French, Spanish and Italian units also present.
But these numbers are nowhere near the kind of numbers needed to take on the Russian military directly.
Be as it may, the truly insane policies and attitudes of both the Poles and the Ukrainians are slowly bringing about the realization of the fact that the expansion of the EU to the East was a huge and fatal mistake. Not only are countries like Hungary and Poland not willing to obey every command of the Eurobureaucrats, the infinite arrogance of the Ukrainians who are constantly demanding, not asking, that NATO and the EU support them no matter what are now resulting in to something of a backlash (still very demure, most EU politicians are still unable to openly defy the US). As the Western economies further sink into an economic abyss, the arrogance and sense of entitlement of both the Poles and the Ukrainians will trigger more and more pushback.
Sooner or later, the rest of the EU will get fed up with these crazies.
Some, such as the very popular Tucker Carlson, are already mighty fed up with these ugly clowns.
Even some US politicians, including liberals and conservatives, are objecting to the total US support for regime in Kiev.
Will those voices ever add up for a return to sanity? I honestly don’t know.
The future of the European continent will be largely determined by the ability of the, shall we say, “sane EU countries” to rein in and contain the hardcore crazies of the 3B+PU+UK gang. Right now, the 3B+PU+UK have the total support of the USA, which is extremely dangerous as it encourages them to further engage in truly dangerous and even reckless actions. The US Neocons are at least as hate-filled towards Russia as the 3B+PU+UK gang, so we can only pray and hope that there are enough sane minds in the Pentagon and elsewhere to urge caution (which is what, apparently, happened in the case of the “mysterious” missile attack on the Polish tractor).
The bottom line is this: unless the adults in the room can keep the various “EU hyenas” on a short leash, sooner or later one of these hyenas will trigger a potentially cataclysmic chain of events. Keep in mind that the folks who put the Nazis in power in Kiev are the same ones who federated the Takfiris in what became known as al-Qaeda (thank you Zbig!). That was over 40 years ago, and the world is still paying a huge price in innocent blood for this “brilliant” CIA plan…
Right now, I don’t see any “adults in the room”, but maybe that will change over the course of this winter?
We shall soon find out.
Before I sign off, I want to leave you with three interesting items:
First, what appears to be declassified materials from the CIA which show deeply the CIA was involved with Ukronazi nationalists. I cannot vouch for the authenticity of these documents, but I asked a friend who would know, and he told me that it looked real to him.
Second, make sure to check out Andrei Martyanov’s commentary about this “missile false flag”. I fully agree with him when he says that (most) Western journos are war criminals.
Third, I leave you with a very interesting interview of Col (Ret) Douglas MacGregor, a superb US military analyst and a man who has been saying the truth about the war in the Ukraine for a long time now.
I can just hope and pray that folks in the Pentagon and the letter soup listen to what MacGregor has to say!
The original interview is on his YouTube channel:
But, just in case YouTube decides to remove it, here is the same interview uploaded to BitChute:

Finally, as each week-end, I want to leave you with some good music.
John McLaughlin, Shankar Mahadevan and Zakir Hussain interpret “Kabir”
This is how this (Is That So?) album is reviewed on Amazon:
Six years in the making, Is that So? is one of John McLaughlin’s deepest and most profound musical collaborations with prolific Indian composer and vocalist Shankar Mahadevan. Joining the duo is their life-long friend and musical brother Ustad Zakir Hussain on the tabla, who has been collaborating with John since they founded Shakti in the early ’70s, acknowledged by most to be the first groundbreaking crossover East-West musical group. ‘The idea for this album appeared in my mind early 2013. Shankar and I had been touring with Shakti and I was constantly inspired by his superb voice and gigantic talent. Even though I had studied the theory and practice of Indian music for years, I remain a ‘Western’ musician and one aspect of Western music is the magic of harmony’, says John. ‘From the outset in the early 1970’s, I constantly researched the possibilities of integrating harmony into the traditions of North and South India while at the same time keeping as close as possible to the melodic rules of the Raga system. However, the idea I mention above, was to abandon the rules of the Raga system completely and apply my own Western harmonic liberty to the amazing voice of Shankar Mahadevan. ‘Before concerts, John and I used to dabble with free improvisations using Indian scales (Ragas) and different harmonies backing them’, says Shankar Mahadevan. ‘The whole texture, color, feeling and the canvas of the music excited us as harmonic content does not exist in Indian classical music. In the beginning it was just a fun experiment, but it soon became larger than life and we knew we had to record it. When Zakir Hussain, the great tabla Maestro himself agreed to play in the improvisational sections we knew this would take our recording to a new level. We could not have asked for more. Is that So? is a a new concept in the meeting of musicians, singers, percussionists and the musical cultures of the East and West and takes us into unexplored musical horizons.

The S300 missile hitting poland and the hysteria of it being Ukraine’s is timely, as it is coinciding with the recent judgement, of the kangaroo court, that is the Hague, blaming Russia of downing MH17.
Same lies then, same lies now.
Apparently truth only matters when it might result in nuclear arms being used…
Great irony that Poland + western Ukraine is becoming more nazi than the Germans now. Reality is becoming so unbelievable. Future generations will not believe the history books.
On the current military situation in Ukraine, the war is becoming less control of territory, and more attritional in nature. Since the Kharkiv feint, Ukraine is losing almost 2 companies of men for every Russian, and the ratio is getting worse over time. Winter is finally here, and Ukraine has no electricity, water and gas supplies are getting hit.
Millions may die, unfortunately, of cold weather.
When The House of Orange (whose citizens made up 70% of the victims) handed over the black boxes from MH17 to The House of Windsor, the gig was up, and much like the Skripals, they’ll be gathering dust in the vaults of the dungeons below the sewers of Old London Town.
If only rats could talk, and I’m not referring to the human vermin or excrement at MI6.
Well said WTFUD.
The Dutch ‘investigation’ is a sham. An investigation that requires the go-ahead of one of the suspects, (Poroshenko’s) Ukraine, before anything can be made public? Come on.
Video of some of the sceptics — the guys who owned the plane and recovered the black box.

Cheers pal.
You can still feel the hurt after all these years.
Is it any wonder almost the entirety of Zone B is desperate for Russia’s new fair and just system where US-Uk cannot screw with peoples’ lives without any repercussion.
They’ve been screwing with people’s lives only because these sycophantic governments want to please their Zio-Nazi/Bolshevik/Neocon masters, who for the past 100 years have created hell on earth.
Hate has replaced Jesus’s 11th commandment. And until it’s put back in place, there will be no peace on earth.

Well said, Doug.
Everyone should join in the fight. And obviously, knowledge is the primary weapon in this war.
Of the four accused only Pulatov has been acquitted. He was the only one who was represented by lawyers. Pulatov is crowd funded and would certainly have appealed. So the judges did not want this to go forward to an appeal court where their unconventional methods used in this 8 years of investigations and proceedings could be challenged. The other accused conveniently did not turn up, they simply do not recognize this court, neither does Russia. They withdrew this year from the Council of Europe and its assembly, which has become an anti Russian echo chamber.
For the Western media it was clear six hours after the downing of MH17 that Russia was the culprit. After ten hours the Ukrainians had already tapes of radio conversations which were later proved to be just copy-pasting by speech analysts. What a difference with the explosion of North Stream I and II! After three weeks still complete secrecy. No common investigations of Sweden, Denmark and Germany, the countries nearest to the calamity. They do not share their findings. What are they afraid of? With MH17 it was all the opposite. An international investigation group was immediately created with understandably Holland and Australia but also Belgium (three casualties), Ukraine (a possible suspect!) but not Russia and not Malaysia (the airliner).
Compensations will not be a problem. The US and the EU have stolen 300 billion of Russian reserves. The EU has already made clear that they will use that for the “reconstruction”. Non Western countries in the future will think twice before still buying euro bonds now that they see what happens to reserves.
ich gebe Ihnen recht, dass das Urteil in Den Haag und der “Absturz” zurrechten Zeit gekommen sind.
Gelogen wird von politischen Interessengruppen seit vielen Jahrhunderten, um ihre Macht und ihre Ziele durch zu setzten. Der perfide in der heutigen Zeit ist, dass darunter sehr viele Menschen zu leiden haben, sei es durch Sanktionen (umschriebenes Wort für Wirtschaftskrieg), Regierungsumstürze (z.B. Ukraine2014), oder direkte Interventionen. Hierbei ist besonders zu beobachten, dass sich zwei Länder besonders hervor tun; Die USA und Großbritannien.
Den Polen ist anscheinend dabei eine besondere Rolle zugedacht wurden. Wenn man sich die Geschichte dieses Landes anschaut, stellt man fest, dass sie sehr eng mit seinen Nachbarn verwoben ist.
Im Westen mit Deutschland und im Osten mit Russland. Erst kam der Deutsche Ritterorden. dann wurden deutsche Siedler in die Gebiete den jetzigen Polens (bewusst durch den slawischen Adel) angesiedelt.
Die im Osten wohnenden slawischen Russen traten erst recht spät auf den Plan. Es kam letztendlich zu den polnischen Teilungen. Viele Polen suchten während dieser Zeit ihr Heil in der Fremde. Tausende Polen gingen nach Deutschland, wo sie sich erfolgreich assimilierten.
Mit der deutschen Einheit von 1871 sahen die Engländer ein großes Problem auf sich zu kommen.
Dieses Problem war eine vermeintliche Freundschaft zwischen Russland und Deutschland.
Seit dem wird von Seiten der Angelsachsen alles unternommen um eine Zusammenarbeit dieser Länder zu verhindern.
Letztendlich wurden deshalb Kriege ausgelöst. Hiermit soll nicht die Schuldfrage neu gestellt werden. Mir geht es nur darum, darauf hin zu weisen, dass die Angelsachsen nicht ganz unschuldig sind.
Mit den Polen (Regierungen) hat man einen will fähigen Partner gefunden, diese Interessen durchzusetzen.
Nichtumsonst bezeichnete Churchill die Polen als die Hyänen Europas.
Ähnlich verhält es sich mit den Ukrainern. Ihr Nationalismus erschien besonders dafür geeignet, um ein Dolch im Fleische Russlands zu werden. Bisher hat dies gut funktioniert, da man Russland als schwach an sah.
Nur diesmal hat man sich verschätzt.
Wir können jedoch nur hoffen, dass sich die Weltgemeinschaft nicht von diesen Hyänentäuschen lässt.
I agree with you that the judgment in The Hague and the “crash” came at the right time.
Political interest groups have lied for many centuries in order to assert their power and their goals. The perfidious thing these days is that a lot of people have to suffer from it, be it through sanctions (a paraphrased word for economic war), government overthrows (e.g. Ukraine2014), or direct interventions. Here it is particularly noticeable that two countries stand out; The US and UK.
The Poles seem to have been given a special role in this. If you look at the history of this country, you realize that it is very closely intertwined with its neighbors.
In the west with Germany and in the east with Russia. First came the Teutonic Order. then German settlers were settled in the areas of present-day Poland (deliberately by the Slavic nobility).
The Slavic Russians living in the east came on the scene quite late. It finally came to the Polish partitions. During this time, many Poles sought salvation abroad. Thousands of Poles went to Germany, where they assimilated successfully.
With the German unity of 1871, the English saw a big problem coming up.
This issue was a supposed friendship between Russia and Germany.
Since then, the Anglo-Saxons have done everything to prevent these countries from working together.
Ultimately, this is why wars were started. This is not to pose the question of guilt again. I just want to point out that the Anglo-Saxons are not entirely innocent.
With the Poles (governments), a willing and capable partner has been found to enforce these interests.
Not for nothing did Churchill call the Poles the hyenas of Europe.
The situation is similar with the Ukrainians. Their nationalism seemed particularly apt to become a dagger in the flesh of Russia. So far this has worked well as Russia was seen as weak.
Only this time you miscalculated.
However, we can only hope that the world community will not be fooled by these hyenas.
Hagen wrote: I just want to point out that the Anglo-Saxons are not entirely innocent.
My Comment: We the Danes know this as a fact. They Bombed Copenhagen in 1807.
Hagen wrote: With the Polish government, a willing and capable partner has been found to enforce the Anglo Saxon interests.
My Comment: The Polish Government may seem willing. But Poland is not capable of fighting Russia.
They will be first to be bombed back to the stone Ages, before the Anglo Saxons ever joins the fight.
Hagen wrote: We can only hope that the world community will not be fooled by these hyenas.
My Comment.
The Danish population is not fooled by the Hyena of Europe; we know it will attack if we become weak. However our Political foreign Agent in Parliament, think it is a good idea to feed the Hyena.
That may quickly change when the Polish Army once again steams toward Zealand like they did in the 1980s
Now it looks like Russia may have just sent a slightly more strongly worded message to Ukraine/NATO: Reports are saying that an X-55 missile with a dummy nuclear warhead came down in Kiev. (The Ukrainians claim to have shot it down, but in the photos it looks more like it just hit land on its own.)
If true, seems the gloves are really coming off. Well, Saker’s line, “imperial phantom pains”, had me rolling on the floor. Laughter is good medicine in these times.
Here is a source for the X-55 report:
https://defence-ua.com/weapon_and_tech/rosija_zapuskaje_po_ukrajini_krilati_raketi_z_imitatorom_jadernoji_bojegolovki-9677.html
I have no info about whether it is legitimate or not. If it is, quite interesting that it is hardly reported in media.
Nothing worse than seeing some goon reply to his own propaganda feed.
Source – ‘Defence Express’ interacts with representatives of foreign embassies accredited in Ukraine.
For legitimate, quite interesting read BULLSHIT
It was not a reply, Einstein, I was adding a link that showed up when I had a minute to search for sources. Too bad if the story is fabricated (still no evidence one way or the other) as it could have been a good reality check to Ukraine to point out the seriousness of the situation. The site I posted tries to spin the event as “Russia is out of missiles,” but that is de rigueur for most media sites, a fact that most of us with a functioning brain laugh off and take for granted already.
But at least you can take the Miss Congeniality award for the weekend.
“Millions may die, unfortunately, of cold weather.”
For the psychos, thats not unfortunate, that’s a feature.
Thanks Andrei, for a more uplifting view.
Your previous article was quite a downer to read, so I’m glad to see you have at least re-gained a little hope in the Western Population. Thank You.
Andrei wrote: “So where is this all heading”?
The Higher-Ups, who made Zelensky fire at Poland to blame Russia are in a hurry before winter sets in.
This falls flag attack was created to backfire.
Because the attack has gotten the exact opposite effect of what Zelensky expected.
This will have consequences.
No more weapons and No more funds to Ukraine.
Ukraine will be left to fight it out alone, or negotiate peace with Russia.
That is the way out of the war (without losing face or heads) NATO is looking for.
So now Zelensky is faced with either:
1: Being hanged by the NAZI regime in Kiev for seeking peace with Russia.
2: Sticking to the NAZI regime in Kiev and face annihilation with them.
3: Or Jump the ship for his Villas in either Florida or Israel.
Moreover.
This falls flag attack is a prime exposure in NATO Nations about the MSM censored operations conducted by NATO, during the War on Terror and all the Regime Change wars; a long line of War crimes and Crimes against humanity to destroy sovereign states, which is now ending the failed state of Ukraine.
From now on, no European or Nordic politician can silently overlook any falls flag Ops by NATO.
This exposure even opens up for investigations into falls flag ops conducted by NATO stay behind groups in Nordic Nations, like the Oslo Bombing – the Utøya attack – the Stockholm Attack- the Copenhagen-Attack, etc, but it will also Question the recent Dutch Court ruling on the MH-17 Attack.
By throwing Zelensky under the Buss, The Higher-Ups are betting both the NATO alliance and the EU.
But after more than 40 Years of Global terror, they risk fracturing both.
Today even the western populations have had enough of propaganda lies, plunder, Terror and Proxy wars.
On this point Douglas MacGregor, has a great understanding of the sentiment ruling in Nordic Nations and quickly spreading throughout Europe that: When the Higher Ups yell: Drang Nack Osten!!
The Nordic and European population is ready to respond by shouting: STFU You NAZIs!!
This is the beginning of the end of the war.
A couple of points where I might actually been mistaken
1) wasn’t Sudetenland actually awarded to Germany by the world court as they ruled it was illegal taken under Versailles. Essentially the Germans got tired of waiting and disobeyed the Winnie and the UK and took possession? Is this right or wrong?
2) The review of The John McLaughlin collaboration was ‘first conceived in 2013’?
So what about Ry Cooder/Vishwa Bhatt collaboration A Meeting by the River? According to some other reviewer it is “one of the most striking cross-cultural works of the 1990s”. I still don’t tire of it and find more accessible that the McLaughlin Raga exercise
Something I came across recently and saw the man live in August: Mdou Moctar.
His publicist claim he’s the ‘Eddie Van Halen of Africa’ and his last effort Afrique Victime is transcendent and again accessible to a western audience big time. Haven’t heard anything that impressive since Kamasi Washington’s jazz masterwork and rightly named The Epic
Just throwing out there if we’re sharing ;-)
Again Thank You Mr Saker for your insight, your positive vibes, insightful analysis and being what I think is probably a very decent human being that I always think if there were more people like you running the show, it might indeed heaven on Earth.
But Poland is home to the late Zbigniew Brzezinski, the grand chessboard genius. Doesn’t it deserve to become the new Mecca of the ancient Europeans so that they can finally conquer entirety of the Russian land all the way to Vladivostok / Kuril Islands? At the time when Moscow is busy fighting the Ukronazi-NATO in Ukraine, the US-Zionist bankers are also very busy bribing key officials of different countries + their wives and kids on an unprecedented scale the likes of which never seen before in history. It’s reported that both Bill Gates and Klaus Schwab were present at the G20 in Bali Indonesia offering their humanitarian financial services. Now almost all of the UN and its affiliated organizations’ day-to-day affairs are about bribing this or that greedy technocrat into supporting the west. No wonder The UN general assembly – without second thoughts – keeps voting against Russia, Iran, China one after another. They vote for the Russian Federation’s reparation to Ukraine, vote against Iran for human rights abuses, the international court blamed Russia for the MH-17 incident, the IAEO says Iran isn’t complying while it finds the Ukrainian neonazis do comply %100 with all the safety regulations and the none NPT member Israel gets to keep its stockpile of illegal nuclear bombs, after all. It shows how effectively bribing practice work on the international scene like in a close family setting.
Now that the zombified world will be too busy watching the World Cup, it could be the best time for the Russian forces to take the initiative and deal a final blow to the neonazi-NATO mercenaries in Ukraine without too much deliberation.
Japan’s schizophrenic reaction was really quite amazing to watch. First we heard there was a suspected Russian missile attack on Poland, then Biden was shown saying it was unlikely to have been a Russian missile, then, moments later Zelenskyy was shown declaring that Russia had attacked Poland, the intimations being decisive evidence implicating Russia. I checked Zero Hedge, that evening and the article titles there suggested Russia’d done it. In the morning, 18 hours after the start of this, the Japanese media were still calling it a Russian missile attack, but about noon they’d changed their minds again. And then after that it was all forgotten. I suppose they think it’s okay if it was only Ukraine that had somehow killed a couple of Poles.
It’s not their fault, their captors keep changing the story. Also, some of the American double-speak doesn’t translate well into Japanese.
Dima over at Military Summary Channel almost sounds disappointed when stating US-NATO didn’t take the bait and respond. Says it means Russia can do anything they wish, and America will do nothing. Quite cynical I thought, especially as he always signs off by saying ‘I condemn all violence in Ukraine’.
The prospect of a ‘coalition of the willing’ entering Western Ukraine strikes me as unlikely, although Colonel MacGregor has been warning of a Pentagon clique who want to send in 40,000 American, 20-30 thousand Poles and a lesser amount of Romanians. General Surovikin has already warned the Americans that a Syrian format (deconfliction protocols) in Ukraine would be unacceptable. So they’re on notice. But I doubt that this could be the dominant view in the Pentagon. It would defeat their strategic purpose. The whole idea of ginning up a European crises was to get the Europeans to engage the Russians while the Americans pivot their assets to the Pacific region to do whatever it is they think they can do vis a vis China. Sending ‘peacekeepers’ into Western Ukraine commits America to a two front war, just what they were trying to avoid. Hence my doubts. But that said, with the Ukraine war going so badly – for the Americans – it really throws a wrench into the China plans. Not only are the Europeans incapable by themselves of keeping the Russians at bay but the optics of yet another military defeat is not exactly going to put the fear into the Chinese. Both the military chiefs and the political class neocons are in a debacle. What can they do? Last thought: on the other hand why not let the ‘coalition of the willing’ into Western Ukraine? This area can only be a headache for the Russians and if the Poles go in it will eventually have the effect of turning the tables. The West laboured greatly to instigate a civil war among the Slavs and finally managed to get the bear to walk into the conflict. If the West goes into Western Ukraine they’ll be instigating yet another civil war – perhaps – on the eastern edge of the empire. Not Russia’s problem.
The bottom line is this: unless the adults in the room can keep the various “EU hyenas” on a short leash, sooner or later one of these hyenas will trigger a potentially cataclysmic chain of events.
Absolutely Andrei.
The Ukraine is in a hopeless position. FUKUS/Nato knows it, Russia knows it. My take is the Zelensky regime is desperate and the criminals in Kiev launched both missiles towards Poland deliberately in order to drag Nato directly into the fray. We are lucky this time the animated cadaver’s, I mean Biden’s, handlers had the good sense not to play ball. Truth be told, I did hold my breath when I read the earliest reports about those missiles landing in Poland.
What I take from this incident are a) some amongst the US warmongers have a good sense of self-preservation afterall and b) Zelensky and the western MSM have been caught lying. Nothing new of course but this time they were caught deliberately lying about something that could have taken the whole planet down the path of extinction. And all this when G20 was in full swing. It cannot be lost on some of the attendees — whom I presume are not keen on being irradiapted, burnt to a crisp or living through a nuclear winter — that the Kiev regime is stupid, irresponsible and dangerous; important considerations when the subject of the Ukraine is brought up again in various G20 capitals, especially those outside the G7/EU/Nato.
An interesting piece of news from Sputnik is that the Italians have uncovered a neo-Nazi group closely affiliated to Azov Regiment planning attacks in Italy. Part of Ursula van der Leyen’s threat to Giorgia Meloni’s govt coming to fruition or Nato’s neo-Nazi chickens coming home to roost? Whatever it may be — and no sympathies from me — it sure looks like the US’s Ukraine project is giving Europe a long list of problems.

Hello Andrey,
I think the declassified documents are true, there is a book written by historians in 2010, and has just been translated by a small publishing house in France on this subject
I found this link to the original book on the congress archives website, I haven’t read it yet but I will buy the French version soon.
https://www.archives.gov/files/iwg/reports/hitlers-shadow.pdf
All the best.
Wonderful, thank you.
First they reported two russian missiles hit poland. Now they report ‘a ukrainian missile’ hit poland. What is it? One or two missiles? One missile is an accident, two missiles are a deliberate false flag attack.
Ukraine because of the disastrous policy by the US and EU is going to be a giant black hole in the middle of Europe for decades to come.
The U.S. does not benefit from a massive war in Europe between NATO and Russia because Russia will turn western Europe into ashes. Who will be left to buy America’s overpriced weapons from the military industrial complex and who will buy America’s overpriced gas and oil? Zelensky is not controlled by the U.S. and at this point it should be obvious that he was put into power solely by the house of Zion. Kolomoisky, Nuland, Soros and the international house of Judea have been trying to escalate and instigate an all out European conflict against Russia but to no avail. Does anyone actually think that the mumbling stumbling Biden administration can control the actions of the Zionist zealots that have taken over Ukraine? Was the British empire able to control the Israeli terrorists in 1946 when the Irgun bombed the King David hotel causing the deaths of dozens of Brits? In 1967 was the U.S. able to control the Israelis or did the zealots in Israel decide to bomb the USS Liberty, killing dozens of U.S. sailors and wounding over 170 Americans? What about the attacks on the Twin Towers in New York City, obviously a Mossad terrorist operation. You are dealing with psychopaths. The house of Zion would rather see the world in ashes than relinquish power. Their era of dominating the affairs of the world is ending, they know it, at this point everyone knows it. If they can start another world war they will but they will not be able to since they no longer possess the influence, the clout to generate such an act.
The author didn’t mention Charles XII of Sweden’s invasion of Russia which Peter the Great’s army defeated at Poltava in 1709.
Charles XII was an excellent general but he didn’t command that day as he was shot in the foot the day before.
As Saker says, “”The same goes for the Brits whose centuries old foreign policy can be summed up in one sentence “set fire to Europe by triggering wars and revolutions”. {although, forgive me for being a little tighter in definition of the “Brits”involved – no Celt of Cymru, or Gaels of Scotland and Ireland, walk the corridors of power in Whitehall. The Norman Aristocrats and Saxon serfs do that}.
IN fact, this was highlighted in the very funny, very accurate satirical BBC comedy of long ago, “Yes Minister”.
Start with weekend with a laugh – why not :-)

Check out this episode!!!
Predicts that Soviet Union would develop a nuclear missile shield which is 95% effective by 2020!!!
Remarkable prediction for 1980ties sitcom.

The funny thing is, in the comments someone says “Even thirty years later, some things never change…”
Think about it: What are the odds that a Surface To Air Missile would hit a ground target ‘right at the border’ with Poland, from a distance of 100km, instead of somewhere else?! That was a calculated move by the Ukrainians!
The S-300 missile(s) has been radar guided by the mobile control centre for 100km all the way to Poland. That was no accident, an accident happens when a S-300 missile hits a building by mistake while pursuing the target.
S-300 Missiles are guided by the 30N6 FLAP LID or naval 3R41 Volna (TOP DOME) radar using command guidance with terminal semi-active radar homing.
Semi-active radar homing: The name refers to the fact that the missile itself is only a passive detector of a radar signal—provided by an external (“offboard”) source—as it reflects off the target.
Great to see the late,great Charlie Haden get a mention. The Liberation Music Orchestra has always been a very favourite of mine.
Col McGregor is very aware of what is happening and relates it very intelligently and eruditely. He is fully aware of the cataclysmic difference between the WW1-lite slaughter of Ukrainian soldiers and the combined modern reactive tactics of the Russian military. If there is no end soon its going to start getting very,very bad for Ukraine and they must know this hence desperate attempts to get NATO further involved. Even then…same result.
The same goes for the Brits whose centuries old foreign policy can be summed up in once sentence “set fire to Europe by triggering wars and revolutions”.
This policy also applies to the benighted spawn of the British, the Americans, whose foreign policy can be summed up in one sentence: set fire to the entire non-American world by triggering wars and color revolutions.
There is no limit to America’s Machiavellian plans.
And the America Empire is just like the British Empire that gave birth to it–only without the veneer of civilization.
Hi Andrei, thanks for the news and the music. Here is a Pat Metheny & Charlie Haden that is touching and relaxing, « spiritual »: https://youtu.be/1k_DF_RohcM
Snow is here in northern wisconsin. It won’t go until spring. Quiet time. For the old farts anyway ;-)
Enjoy
Excellent article and comments here as usual. Also, great music.
If you like Al DiMeola and Pat Metheney you might also like Vicente Amigo. Metheney has said that Vicente is his favorite guitar player. While there are many excellent musicians out there, I must say that he is my favorite guitar player as well (among many).
Vicente even wrote a tune as a tribute to Pat Metheney “Querido Metheney”.
Amigo has a unique tone and “aire” that is unmistakable and awe inspiring.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EqhJik3vjFQ
Vicente Amigo is my favorite Flamenco player, I posted his videos in the past :-)
Wow, it looks like we have very similar musical tastes. I have seen McGlaughlin, DiMeola, Vicente Amigo, Paco de Lucia, Pat Metheney in live concerts over the years. I remember when I was 19 years old hearing the Friday Night in San Francisco album and was blown away.
This is a very important website not only for information and analysis, but also great music – cheers!
It is simply amazing that the Poles still trust and collude with the Brits, French and Americans, They have always been betrayed by these folks. Good examples ; in 1920 Polish -Russian War, the West cut off aid to Poland , in WW 2 there are numerous betrayals starting with 1939 not upholding Treaties . in 1944 West not aiding Warsaw Uprising , and 1945-46 , West not supporting Free Polish Govt. in London even when promising to protect a Free delegation that met in East with Russians and was arrested and deported . There also was death of General Sikorski, a free Pole . Best solution for POLAND, be a Neutral Nation between Russia and Germany and work with your neighbors . You cannot win a war with Russia , and the West will again disappear .Can you learn from History ? .
Great to have The Saker back on dry land and posting great stuff with great links. And I must admit to his great taste in music, mirroring mine, lol. So many of us think alike and quickly recognize sanity and clear sober thought when we see/read/hear it, on so many sites and all around the world, with plenty of pissed off compatriots coming out on the streets in Europe now, makes one think there should be some way found to overcome the ‘western’ dilemma. For now all we can do is to keep on thinking, reading, commenting, posting, and try to gear that all up into a loud chorus of unavoidable, inescapable condemnation of the ‘status quo,’ and work toward ushering in solutions. and thank God for Vladimir Putin and all of Russia, I have been following as closely as possible everything he and Russia have done since the first rumors they might intervene in Syria in 2015, which I had been hoping/praying for from the first rumblings. OMG what a great country, people and leaders, maybe not perfect but they sure will do for Now.
Will a lesser realized narrative come to the fore
once deep winter has set in
and people are freezing in their homes in Europe?
Imagine the families huddled around their kitchen stoves
rubbing their hands together to keep warm,
and they realize that they are doing this to prolong a
kickback scheme.
The US Congress is approving over and over again the sending of unaudited billions to Ukraine.
Where does it go?
And more to the point, who is getting the kickbacks?
A circle of money laundering. Funds, and trafficable materials, goes to Ukraine, Ukraine then launders kickbacks to those holding power over Washington
through various medium (FTX, for one, perhaps?)
and then the cycle repeats
with Congress approving more funds.
Hope freezing Europeans realize that those with power have
conflicting interests (money laundering schemes and kickbacks)
in not seeking peace.
Hope it becomes a dominant narrative in freezing Europe.
Many thanks for presenting the beautiful rendering of Kabir’s famous poem by John McLaughlin, Shankar Mahadevan and Zakir Hussain.
A translation :
Where do you search for me?
I am always within you
Not in pilgrimage, nor in icons
Neither in solitudes
Not in temples, nor in mosques
Neither in Kaba nor in Kailash
I am with you, I am within you
Not in prayers, nor in meditation
Not in austerity nor in yoga
Neither in renunciation
Neither in the soul, nor in the body
Not even in the infinite space
Not in the womb of Nature
Neither in the breath of the breath
Seek earnestly, and you will discover
In but a moment of search
Listen with care, says Kabir
Where your faith is, I am there.
**********
In spite of the different approaches of all religious and philosophical teachings, it is very clear that the all-pervading, omniscient, omnipresent factor is finally God. Due to our customs, traditions, and languages, we only address Him by various names. God is everywhere, and therefore, there are various ways to approach Him. However, when Kabir says “No”, he simply means that we should apply our faith to One and follow it up sincerely with single-minded devotion. For if God has created the entire world, he is also within each and every one of us.
The 23rd of November will produce some fun and games. First, the European Parliament’s motion to declare Russia a state sponsor of terrorism and secondly the demented US placing a price cap on Russian energy.
Talk about doubling down on their insanity.
Hi Saker – thanks for extensive article and music
I believe that Trudeau’s boss is not Biden – I think its Klaus Schwab. And maybe that’s Biden’s boss too
Trudeau is globally despised….he’s such an obvious strawman. I can’t wait until his day of reckoning – hope
I can witness it.
You’d be hard pressed to name a western party leader who isn’t a strawman ann.
Trudy, Scholz, Macron, (Rasheed) Sunak, Kier Starmer, all the way to down to the nondescript. Remember the public must be given the ‘illusion of choice’, but nobody passes go without swearing allegiance to TPTB. Should you stray from the script your toast. If you’re an obedient lapdog like Boris, it’s transatlantic first-class travel and a few hundred thousand pounds speaking engagement for services rendered, Boris and Rupert Murdoch only this or last week.
How TPTB took down Liz Truss (useful idiot) in days and assassinated Jeremy Corbin with their antisemitism joker-card. As the saying goes, if you want to know who rules over you, just look for who you’re not allowed to criticise.
My take on it Ann. During the Clinton years Hilary was President and all she had to do was keep Bill supplied with bimbos with the odd trip to pedo island. During the Bush Jr Presidency it was Cheney who was in the Oval office late at night with his feet up on the desk. I am not sure who is the current puppet master for “The Husk” but it would not surprise me if it is Obama or someone connected to him. The ridiculous pathetic “Canadian Cardboard Cutout” is not, in my opinion, Prime Minister but it is the Nazi, Friedland whose boss is Schwab.
After Obummer left the white house it was reported that he had set up a 10 million $ bwar room in his mansion and was running Team Biden.
There is a video out there where he muses that it would be great if he could control a future president from behind the scenes.
sadly he wont be going anywhere. he will win the next election being propped up by the ndp bloc and greens. canadians are stupid and they dont deserve their country. we can only hope he slips on a banana peel
Ann the really sad part is this.

That with these clowns 36 percent of the population still think the country is on the right track. And Pierre Poilievre is just a Trudeau with a different coloured tie IMHO.
Greetings to the Saker and the erudite followers of this forum from down under.
Same here nearly all of the MSM followed the Russia did it angle even after the U.S. President said that it was highly unlikely. Even though we’re mostly in the same time zone as the location of the g20 and g7 meetings and had a host of reporters from local media on the spot as our P.M was also present, the “highly unlikely” rebuttal from the President’s comment took way too long to get mentioned in the local press, with no retraction of previous “Russia did it” accusations when it became apparent that it was highly unlikely.
I heard the Russia did it story on the hour all day at work on the radio. I said to one of my work colleagues that if true that Poland has been providing thousands of mercenaries to the conflict and is a logistical base for the provision of Western military equipment en masse thus prolonging the conflict after most of the Ukrainian military and it’s material has already been destroyed and therefore a legitimate target.
I added though that it’s highly unlikely myself as if Russia had targeted one of the said logistical hubs or Polish mercenary staging points the report would be more like 80 killed and hundreds injured and dozens of vehicles destroyed instead of only two casualties.
The tragedy is still no less for the 2 people involved and their loved ones, some say 3, but the low casualty figure gave it straight away for me.
Anyway on another note, John Williams the Australian classical guitarist did an African flavoured album with various gifted Africans called ” the magic box”.
But I need to ask have any of you heard the great Australian guitar virtuoso Tommy Emmanuel? This man seriously shreds.
His late Brother Phil was even better.
The did several albums together as well as many solo ventures.
Do yourself a favour and check out Tommy and Phil Emmanuel playing Rondo alla turca.
Couldn’t do a link.
Is it just me but does anyone else think it strange that with all that open countryside that the missile should hit a building? What are chances of that happening? 1 in 1000, 1 in 10000? I am very surprised that no one else has asked this question. Either very unlucky or deliberately targeted.

Czechs protest in Prague against US puppet government that rules over them:
https://odysee.com/@RT:fd/czech-republic:2
Hi Nate, Your video of the Czech protests. As with Canada, Australia, UK et al, -who are the sentinels on the roofs, with all the fancy EW’s ? Who is training these creatures, or even who are they ?
Cannot be accidental that they all look the same, all have fancy stuff, are very anonymous and always seem to occupy high ground.
What are we being conditioned for? I mean who is organising this, for often completely harmless peaceful crowds?
I don’t believe for an instant that in Australia anyway and it seems Canada too, these people are police.
Unfortunately, I do not know for sure who they are. However, I agree with you that they are most likely to be undercover police spying on the protesters.
The Czech event seems more like a rally than a protest. I think of a protest as more chaotic and in opposition to the powers that be.
In the RT video, police were calmly marching alongside the participants, and they seemed to have a lot of identical brand-new flags to wave. At least the hand-printed signs were not in English, from which I conclude that the march is not aimed at an American audience. It’s always interesting to see English signs when a protest is in a country where the alphabet is Cyrillic or Hangul.
Thank you for those videos!!
You’re welcome. I will have another batch of links to videos tomorrow or Monday.
Actual hyenas are incredibly intelligent and valiant animals who regular take on lions who try to steal their (the hyenas’) kills from them. Try calling these vermin something like “lampreys”, which suck blood and flesh from sick, wounded, or hooked fish, instead.
MacGregor’s comments were interesting. But why should Russia negotiate with Ukraine? It is the US who must negotiate with Russia — and that would mean freeing up Russians assets, withdrawing all sanctions, and war crimes trials for the Ukrainians. NO US government could suffer the humiliation. The US has created a mythology that it cannot easily roll back. The Russians have realized now that the US is a monster. A dragon that must be slain. They are going to win in Ukraine. Putin’s recent comments on Galicia as the origin of Nazism in Europe indicate that he might just give Galicia back to Poland with Russian taking the rest. A major offensive — and Nazi propaganda in Western Ukraine – will drive a massive depopulation of Western Ukraine making governance easier, along with inclusion in the RF. Yet, the media are still talking about Russia’s weakness.

Scott Ritter explains the technicalities of the false flag missile attack on Poland.

thank you!
> ” However, there are no Russian S-300 within range of the location in Poland where the missile landed, only Ukrainian ones”
Knowledge of weapon capabilities and mechanics, electronics and targeting seem as low as the imagination. The problem with any Ukrainian air defense theory is the direction of the trajectory. It must have been a “crazy” missile, shot in a whole different mode, aiming exactly at a tractor far away? What’s the chance? And no in-air self-destruct either? However it’s the main theory but raises questions on the reliability of Ukrainian guidance.
There’s an alternative. A ground-to-ground S-300 attack from Belarus. Using the little known “unguided” mode of S-300 to engage in over-the-horizon attack. It would be very vulnerable for exactly this kind of inaccuracy as the trajectory has to be calculated. Any mistake, any other factor and you’re many miles off. Since Russia demonstrated again and again a preference to use up old stocks as a cost saving measure, this theory should not be dismissed entirely. The only argument against this would be how the launch would have escaped detection from e.g. SBIRS/STSS which is monitoring this stuff in detail. It’s why MH-17 is no mystery to the US.
“raises questions on the reliability of Ukrainian guidance.”
I would have just said USA lol.
Since the S300 has a range of about 100 miles, it should be easy enough to draw a circle on a map to determine max distance from where the missile was launched from and then determine if the position of that makes any sense as to whether that location area makes any sense to position an S300 unit to protect targets that would be expected to be defended from Russian launch location.
If that evidence does not line up, then we should move to intentional act.
I suspect that in due time there will be revelations about clandestine programs to co-opt/subvert EU leadership. Regarding useful idiots, I propose them as part of the PIGRETCH+ Community: Pros, Imbeciles, Geniuses, Racists, Experts, Trolls, Clickbaiters, Haters, et al.
Wonder how your average Ukrainian, who in the majority were pro-Russian prior to 1992 became rabid foaming at the mouth anti-Russian Nazis, watch this:

Hello and thanks for the insightful and informative analysis.
A few remarks
Sadly, the approach of destroying independence-minded regional states failed neither in Iraq, nor in Libya. It did fall (predictably) in Afghanistan and (not so predictably) in Syria, and we know how and why.
Re the Polish national psyche, it is imprinted and branded with the Crusading spirit of the Middle Ages, and with the campaigns of Jan Sobieski and others displaying much bravery to stop the ominous advance of the Ottoman armies (while France conspicuously looked the other way) around 1650.
The United Kingdom has nukes. I wish they hadn’t but they have them and (sadly again) this is no joke.
(2)
Sadly this national psyche and spirit of the Poles from 1918 and ever since, has been held hostage of France and US and UK rulers.
Polish (and Lithuanian) ruling elites now appear to aspire to spearhead a civilizational war of the West against Putin’s Russia.
We all know that the Poles have readily contributed on the field to all the US policies following 11/9, both lending Polish soil and ligistical support to the CIA kidnapping and interrogation centers, then sending troops on the ground to assist and destroy Iraq. The Poles can be quite effective playing their part inside NATO.
As you note they (3B+PO+UK) are currently encouraged to further engage in reckless actions. Thus achieving facts on the ground (see NS1/NS2 successful sabotage) as proxies, while providing plausible deniability to Washington D.C.
The supposed adults in the room should be more vocal than they presently are especially Germany.
The European response altogether to devastating policies is remarkably weak to extremely weak. Ruling classes in France Belgium and elsewhere are accomplices and play against their countries’ core interests.
I agree with your prognostication in this respect “Unless the adults in the room can (I would say will) keep the various EU hyenas on a short leash (what they currently don’t), sooner or later,” etc.
Now the US approach towards the continental civilisation-states Iran, China, Russia aims at regime change through political and military pressure.
This approach already failed in Iran where the “People’s Mujahedeen” (Rajavi) enjoy zero popular support since they fought AGAINST the motherland under vicious attack in the eighties during seven long years of a murderous proxy war.
Western hopes towards China of regime change “from the head downwards” are IMO delusional today, although they have been sustained a very long time indeed. Nowadays is nothing close to the1840-1912 situation. Nowadays the Chinese leadership is not that easy to be manipulated and derailed regarding the core interests of China. I believe the US are playing against themselves in seeking to instrumentalize Taiwan.
Now similar hopes exist and are fostered in D.C. regarding Russia. I believe these schemes are unlikely to materialize, after the extremely bitter and heavy experiences of the Russian people in WWI, WWII and in the nineties of the past century.
Thanks again.
In the first few hours of reports of the missile hitting Poland, the British media was the most vocal of all the western media in uniformly blaming Russia & referring to the incident as a serious escalation. Follow BBC, Sky, Reuters, the print/on line media, Guardian, Independent etc. they all sing the same song using the same lyrics. Those same media began changing their tune when the first official statements came out of the US affirming the fact that this was a Ukranian missile, not Russian. So, following a path of logical deduction, so it seems to me at least, the British probably green lighted this false flag & Zelensky took that as sufficient to call on NATO intervention. I am reminded of the British reaction to the US pull out of Afghanistan, which in turn reminded me of the British reaction to the Russian intervention in Georgia in 2008. In the case of the former, the British g’ment issued verbal threats to the US that they must – mark that, must – halt their withdrawal & redeploy indefinitely to Afghanistan. When the US gave Britain the cold shoulder, the Brit g’ment began issuing threats as to how it would go it alone in Afghanistan, & how this would be a huge embarassment to the remainder of NATO, hinting at the US. When the US/NATO ignored Britain’s hysteria Britain did what it always did, it sulked, toned down, & pulled its troops out of Afghan. In 2008, when Russia intervened in Georgia, Britain issued immediate threats that NATO would act & gave Russia an ultimatum to withdraw all its forces from Georgia/south Ossetia in a matter of days – when Russia ignored Britian, Britain threatened military action against Russia, when Russia just continued ignoring Britain, Britain sulked, toned down its rhetoric, & talked about “consequences”. That is Britain for you, the political establishment that is, which is the worst group of parasites/hyenas on this earth. Britain is constantly trying to provoke the US into going to war, they did the same in Syria with their repeated false flag chemical ops there, & living in Britain it genuinely concerns me that the British government is creating a situation that could result in a catastrophe for the country.
A parasite needs a host or it dies.
