Introduction

The first time I learned to know the name “Ivan Katchanovski”, was in April 2023, when reading the on February 28, 2023 on Jeffrey D. Sachs’ website published article: “The ninth anniversary of the Ukraine war”.

“[….] I also urge all people to read the powerful academic studies by Prof. Ivan Katchanovski of the University of Ottawa (for example, here and here), who has laboriously reviewed all of the evidence of the Maidan and found that most of the violence and killing originated not from Yanukovych’s security detail, as alleged, but from the coup leaders themselves, who fired into the crowds, killing both policemen and demonstrators. “

Who is Ivan Katchanovski?

Ivan Katchanovski teaches at the School of Political Studies at the University of Ottawa. He does research in Democratization, Comparative Politics, Political Communication, and Conflicts, in particular, in Ukraine. He was Visiting Scholar at the Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies at Harvard University, Visiting Assistant Professor at the Department of Politics at the State University of New York at Potsdam, Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Department of Political Science at the University of Toronto, and Kluge Post-Doctoral Fellow at the Kluge Center at the Library of Congress. His academic publications include four books, 10 book chapters, and 17 articles in refereed journals. He received his Ph.D. from the Schar School of Policy and Government at George Mason University in the US. Source: ResearchGate https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Ivan-Katchanovski

“They” want to silence Ivan Katchanovski

The here following, by “The Dissident” published article, shows how important professor Katchanovski’s work is. “They” want to silence him, because it unveils “their” real face. The facts and the lies.

Ivan Katchanovski Faces ‘Stalinist’ Smear Campaign To Silence His Work On Ukraine.
— A Smear Campaign Is Attempting To Silence The Academic Who Exposed The Maidan Massacre False Flag And Western Role In The Ukraine Proxy War.

Ivan Katchanovski, the Ukrainian-Canadian professor of political science and conflict studies at the University of Ottawa, has done extensive research factually debunking the Western narrative around the proxy war in Ukraine and painting an objective, nuanced picture of the war. Among his most consequential works has been proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the Western-funded and supported coup against Ukraine’s elected president, Viktor Yanukovych in 2014 was based on a lie. Western leaders justified supporting the coup based on claims that Yanukovych’s forces were behind a massacre of protestors in Ukraine’s Maidan Square.

But Katchanovski has collected a significant body of evidence, including witness testimony, Ukranian ballistic examinations, and forensic medical examinations done by the Ukrainian government, which all show that the massacre was carried out by Western-backed militants opposed to Yanukovych, who were occupying a Hotel in the Maidan square.

The book “The Russia-Ukraine War: Its Nature, Origins, and Outcome”

More recently, Katchanovski has written the book “The Russia-Ukraine War: Its Nature, Origins, and Outcome,” which extensively documents the Western policies that provoked the war in Ukraine, including the Maidan coup, NATO expansion, and the Western blocking of the Istanbul peace accords in April of 2022.

For his factual work, Katchanovski now faces what he describes as a “Stalinist-like” smear campaign in the form of an open letter signed by a number of pro- Ukraine government and pro war academics, including Andreas Umland1 who, Katchanovski notes, “backed a call for total mobilization in Ukraine by a neo-Nazi admirer of Hitler” and “Anton Shekhovtsov2, who headed the Dugin’s organization in Crimea”.

He documented that Shekhovtsov has previously used openly genocidal rhetoric towards Russians, writing, “Anton Shekhovtsov compared the mass killing of people by a fire in the Trade Union building in Odesa to his killing of Colorado potato beetles by collecting them in a box and then burning them”.

The open letter

The open [Ukrainiska Pravda, Admin] letter does not challenge a single fact that Katchanovski has documented in any of his books and instead resorts to McCarthyite smears [reckless, unsubstantiated accusations and demagogic attacks that question a person’s loyalty, character, or patriotism. Named after U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy, this tactic relies on guilt by association, innuendo, and coercion to intimidate opposition, destroy careers, and suppress legitimate debate. Admin] and guilt by association. These include:………….

  • 1. claims that Katchanovski’s book is somehow discredited based on the claim that tech billionaires Elon Musk and David Sacks donated money to the GoFundMe for the book to be published. Katchanovski clarified that

“Elon Musk did not fund my book but helped on Twitter/X to stop an attempt to block my GoFundMe. I publicly thanked Elon Musk and all contributors”.

  • 2. In an even more absurd guilt-by-association attack, the letter tried to connect Katchanovski to Russian state media because two contributors to RT, Tarik Cyril Amar and Lenka White, said positive things about the book.
  • 3. The letter also claims that “Katchanovski’s narrative about the causes and escalation of the Russo-Ukrainian War is often congruent to the Kremlin’s propaganda” and that it could “lead to a reduction of Western help for Ukraine”

…….again, without a challenging a single fact in Katchanovski’s work.

As the Ukrainian academic Marta Havryshko3 put it, “In other words: certain arguments are not wrong because they are false, but because readers might find them (in)convenient and stop sponsor corrupt regime that sends its people to the kill zone against their will.”

Katchanovski’s response

Katchanovski in a response to the smear campaign, noted that its intention was “not only to censor my book but also to go after my university job and subject me to criminal persecution and sanctions by the Zelensky regime because they are incapable of challenging my evidence-based analysis”.

The Zelensky regime has previously sanctioned a long list of its domestic critics for criticizing the Ukraine proxy war, from the well-known Ukrainian political scientist Konstantin Bondarenko4 to the former advisor to the Zelensky government, Oleksiy Arestovych5.

He added that,

“Umland, Shekhovtsov, and their ilk try to force scholars to parrot the Zelensky government propaganda and propagate fake narratives that they propagate themselves, such as false flag Nord Stream bombing by Russia, genocide in Ukraine, Ukraine as democracy, and no neo-Nazis in Ukraine. They falsely claim that the blocking of the nearly finalized Istanbul peace deal by the Western governments is Russian propaganda and denounce my book for this even though this was stated or de facto admitted by the head and members of the Ukrainian delegation, ex-prime minister of Israel, president and foreign minister of Turkey, Victoria Nuland and several other such top officials … They falsely equate the Zelensky regime with Ukraine and Ukrainians and their support for the violent overthrow of the Ukrainian government, mutual killings of Ukrainians in civil war in Donbas, and the proxy war to the last Ukrainian with supporting Ukraine and Ukrainians. They choose to attack and defame one of a few Ukrainian political scientists in the Western academy specializing primarily in conflicts in Ukraine.”

Katchanovski, who had previously had his property seized by the Ukrainian regime, noted that the smear campaign was an attempt to get him to face further repression from the regime, writing:

“The denunciation of me and my scholarly book by Umland, Shekhovtsov, and their ilk is not only an open attack on academic freedom but also an attempt to censor my book and subject me to criminal prosecution or sanctions by the undemocratic Zelensky regime for my academic research. They falsely link my book to Russian propaganda, Russian media, and “apologetics” of the Russian invasion, which are all criminal offensives in Ukraine. There were many such cases of political persecution in Ukraine.”

“My house, land, and all other property in my native Western Ukraine were illegally seized in retaliation of my scholarly studies of the Maidan massacre in Ukraine. I was blacklisted on the Ukrainian government-linked Myrotvorets hit list for “crimes” of showing involvement of radical nationalists and neo-Nazis in this massacre of the Maidan protesters and the police and for exposing the SS Galicia division veteran, who was given standing ovations in the Canadian parliament by the Canadian government, parliament, Zelensky, and his delegation. The Ukrainian government agency, headed by the leader of the OUN, which collaborated with Nazi Germany and was involved in organizing the SS Galicia Division, threatened me with criminal prosecution for exposing involvement of neo-Nazis in the Maidan massacre.”

Supporters of the Ukraine proxy war have no answer to the facts documented by Katchanovski in his book, so they are now engaging in a smear campaign, in an attempt to get him fired, censored, and repressed as retribution for his inconvenient facts.

#49. How The CIA Conjured Ukrainian Nationalism

How The CIA Conjured Ukrainian Nationalism
Published: June 9, 2026
On: Substack
By: Kit Klarenberg, Investigative Journalist

A bitter row has erupted between Kiev and Warsaw, after Volodymyr Zelensky renamed a Ukrainian military unit the “Heroes of the UPA”. The UPA – Ukrainian Insurgent Army – was an ultranationalist faction heavily implicated in the Holocaust, which slaughtered up to 100,000 Polish civilians during World War II. In addition to commemorating the mass-murdering militant group, the corpse of Andriy Melnyk, leader of UPA parent the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B), was reburied in Kiev. At a grand accompanying ceremony, Zelensky declared:

“Today we all see that the Ukrainian idea can overcome what once seemed absolutely insurmountable. Now, when we are on Ukrainian soil, under our Ukrainian flag, to the sound of the Ukrainian national anthem, paying due tribute to our Ukrainian heroes, we feel in our hearts everything Ukrainians were forced to go through, everything our people had to endure.”

The unspeakable horrors inflicted upon Poles – and Communists, Jews, Romani and other “undesirables” – by Melynk and his fellow Nazi collaborators were of course unmentioned. So too that the genocidal nationalism practiced and preached by Melynk was covertly promoted and sponsored for decades by Anglo-American intelligence, within and without Ukraine. The ongoing proxy conflict is a direct product of this little-known spectral meddling, which was specifically concerned with promoting cultural and ethnic difference, and enmity, between Russians and Ukrainians globally.

Andriy Melnyk’s remains, long-buried in Luxembourg, are returned to Ukraine

As this journalist has previously revealed, in August 1957 the CIA secretly drew up elaborate plans for a US special forces invasion of Ukraine. Intended to collapse the wider Soviet Union, the Agency’s conspiracy depended heavily on recruiting local fascists as footsoldiers. A significant stumbling block to the Agency’s plot, however, was much of Ukraine’s population actually harbouring “few grievances” against Russians or Communism. “Points of conflict” between Russians and Ukrainians, which could be exploited by the CIA to foment a mass uprising, were scant.

The Agency lamented how “the long history of union between Russia and Ukraine, which stretches in an almost unbroken line from 1654 to the present day,” had resulted in “many Ukrainians” having “adopted the Russian way of life.” Moreover, the similarity of their “languages, customs, and backgrounds,” and the “great influence” of Russian culture in Ukraine, meant the overwhelming majority of Ukrainians felt “little national antagonism.” Yet, the CIA believed “important grievances exist,” and “under favorable conditions” Ukrainians would assist US invaders.

Unmentioned in the invasion planning documents, the CIA had since 1949 been covertly striving to create those “favorable conditions.” A key Agency asset used for the purpose was OUN-B chief Mykola Lebed. In 1943, he proposed to “cleanse the entire revolutionary territory” – today’s western Ukraine – of its Polish population, to prevent any future Polish state from claiming the region. A post-war US Army counterintelligence report branded Lebed a “well-known sadist,” and Nazi collaborator.

The nucleus of Lebed’s international fascist agitation was Prolog, a New York-based publishing firm. A 1966 CIA memo noted this “cover organization” for the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council (ZP/UHVR) was established to conduct “clandestine activity.” It approvingly added that Prolog’s work “contributes to Ukrainian nationalist ferment and to intellectual resistance to Soviet repression by exploiting existing and encouraging new deviationist tendencies” in Ukraine. Elsewhere, the Agency declared it was “important to continue to encourage divisive manifestation” of this sort. The explicitly stated objective was triggering “nationalist flareups” in the USSR:

“[ZP/UHVR] were sent from the Ukraine in 1945 by the Ukrainian Supreme Liberation Council to make contact with Western intelligence representatives and to act in behalf of the homeland…[ZP/UHVR] organized a net of collaborators throughout Western Europe and the United States…the feeling of nationalism is very much alive. ZP/UHVR has proved realistic in its approach to operational matters and its propaganda activity.”

‘Existing Suspicions’

A late 1953 Agency memo documents how the CIA for years broadcast “black radio transmissions” in Ukrainian from a secret CIA installation in Athens, Greece. “Soviet officialdom, Soviet military forces stationed in the Ukraine, the indigenous civilian population…the underground movement and the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA)” were an intended target audience of 40 million people, upon whom the Agency wished to have a “significant propaganda impact.” Produced by ultranationalist emigres who’d fled Ukraine after World War II, the project sought to foment insurrectionary anti-Communist violence:

“Furnish evidence of outside sympathy and understanding for the Ukrainian peoples; intensify anti-regime disaffection by encouraging resentment, bitterness, and distrust of the Soviet regime and its personalities; maintain national consciousness among the Ukrainians and urge them to maintain pride in the individuality and heritage of their culture; create dissatisfaction among Ukrainian military personnel within the Soviet armed forces stationed in the Ukraine; create and intensify dissatisfaction among the Ukrainian civil authorities to the Soviet regime.”

Publicly, the station’s US-made broadcasts – which included Ukrainian folk songs – were “attributed to a notional group of Ukrainian Anti-Communists.” There was no connection “actual or implied, with any established Ukrainian emigre group.” It was of the utmost importance too the CIA’s hand in creating and running the station was concealed – “every effort will be made to keep this risk at a minimum.” However, the operation’s ruinous spoils were considered well-worth the hazards.

“It will provide a wedge which can be driven deeper between the Soviets and the Ukrainians and would exacerbate existing suspicions and antagonisms between the two ethnic factions,” the CIA declared. The Agency also sought to create a wider “psychological climate” among Ukrainian audiences which would be “more favorable” to other anti-Soviet operations it was simultaneously conducting. Moreover, it was forecast “Soviet reaction to the broadcasts may indicate certain areas of vulnerability or sensitivity not heretofore recognized,” which could be further exploited.

‘Imperial Policy’

The CIA’s efforts to encourage Ukrainian nationalism and separatism endured throughout the Cold War. Via avowed CIA front the National Endowment for Democracy, overt US assistance was provided to Rukh (The People’s Movement of Ukraine). One of Soviet Ukraine’s first opposition parties, Rukh is widely considered to have played a key role in securing Ukraine’s ‘independence’ in December 1991. Four months earlier, US President George H W Bush had visited Kiev and given an infamous speech in which he cautioned Ukrainians against embracing “suicidal nationalism based upon ethnic hatred.”

His comments enraged Ukrainian nationalists, and Stateside anti-Soviet hawks. Yet, Bush’s fears were well-founded. By this point, Yugoslavia was rapidly disintegrating, engulfed by ever-violent fratricidal tensions. His administration was thus formally committed at this time to preserving the Soviet Union in some form, and undertook ill-fated measures in service of this goal. Too little, too late, that mission’s failure set Ukraine hurtling towards all-out conflict with Russia. As long-desired by the CIA, “antagonisms between the two ethnic factions” now run deep.

In a bitter twist, it was precisely because the NED-orchestrated February 2014 Maidan coup was led by rabidly anti-Russian nationalist elements that a majority of Ukrainians did not support the Maidan movement. As a contemporary Washington Post analysis noted, Viktor Yanukovych remained “the most popular political figure in the country,” and no poll conducted to date had ever indicated mass support for the uprising. Surveys conversely showed “large majorities” of Ukrainians opposed the violent storming of regional governments by Maidan insurrectionists.

This hostility was spurred by “anti-Russian rhetoric and the iconography of western Ukrainian nationalism…not [playing] well among the Ukrainian majority.” Washington Post noted how Neo-Nazi party Svoboda was at Maidan’s forefront. Its leader Oleh Tyahnybok had infamously praised the UPA for fighting “against the Moskali [Russians], Germans, Zhydy [Jews] and other scum.” His words were not well-received by the 50% of Ukraine’s population residing in regions that had “strongly identified with Russia” for over two centuries. “Nearly all are alienated by anti-Russian rhetoric and symbols”:

“Anti-Russian forms of Ukrainian nationalism expressed on the Maidan are certainly not representative of the general view of Ukrainians. Electoral support for these views and for the political parties who espouse them has always been limited. Their presence and influence in the protest movement far outstrip their role in Ukrainian politics and their support barely extends geographically beyond a few Western provinces.”

Congress of Ukrainian Nationalists flags at a December 2013 Maidan protest

Fast forward to now, and in response to Ukraine’s state-level glorification of the ultranationalist UPA and its lead genocidaire Andriy Melnyk, Polish President Karol Nawrocki has announced he will seek to strip Zelensky of the Order of the White Eagle, Warsaw’s highest honour, bestowed in 2023. Meanwhile, premier Donald Tusk has cursed the Ukrainian leader’s actions as “[wounding] our historical sensitivity,” and “worrying from the point of view of our relations.”

Authorities in Kiev appear entirely unconcerned their close neighbour and proxy war ally has been so egregiously insulted. A Foreign Ministry spokesperson claimed Zelensky had not wished to cause any offence. “Our history confirms only Moscow benefits from disputes between Ukrainians and Poles,” they said. Besides, for Ukrainian soldiers, “the struggle of the UPA symbolises strictly the opposition to Moscow’s imperial policy.” As the CIA always intended, two antithetical versions of history are now effectively at war in Donbass. A more devastating modern day example of divide and conquer in action one would be hard-pressed to identify.

Discussion with Neutrality Studies [Pascal Lottaz], and colonel Douglas Macgregor, published May 29, 2026

Summary
Hegemony is over not only on the outside but within the US, too. The decline is irreversible says Colonel Douglas Macgregor. Pascal Lottaz and Col. Macgregor talk about Russia’s next moves in Ukraine, the risk of wider NATO escalation, U.S. support for foreign wars, and why America’s base network and war spending may be unsustainable. Macgregor argues the U.S. is losing control, the economy is the real pressure point, and a major pullback from overseas is coming.

A. Eliot Higgins, founder of Bellingcat – exposed

1. Intro

It became clear on May 6, 2026, that in my post about the MH17, published in April, 2023, the links to two, in 2023 existing Bellingcat pages, both with pictures of a Russian BUK in Ukraine, in 2008, did not lead to the pages that I expected: the two links brought me this time both to the same page and the content and the pictures had been changed. Why did that happen? I found it so strange, that I started to search for info about Bellingcat, all the more so because during the last years I had frequently read comments in the social media that were warning against Bellingcat: Bellingcat was, according to these comments, not reliable. Today I found even more severe accusations, and when checking what information our “friend” Google was offering, I found, of course, that (for instance) The Grayzone1 and Voltaire Network2 are promoting conspiracy theories and are pro-Russia, pro-Iran and pro-Syria. Interesting! Why? During the years we get more and more, really excellently informed and educated via empirically proven to be reliable and independent sources, and that is why we, the public, know that the term conspiracy theory is a successful tool to keep the easy to manipulate public away from truth. Back to Bellingcat: their website has today a more advanced layout than in 2023, and I discovered that the posts show an undeniable anti-Russia approach, and are nothing less than western propaganda, used to legalize war and NATO expansion. That is an undeniable f a c t.

The two pictures that I found on their website in 2023 were actually evidence that Ukraine owned already Russian BUKs in 2008. Which is not strange at all, because Ukraine did not produce BUKs. Ukraine had these BUKs to defend itself against the west. Ukraine itself never felt the need to join NATO. The Ukrainian disinterest in becoming a NATO member is shown in reliable maps (Gallup), to be found in the MH17 blogpost. All this is important info however in the investigation of the downing of the MH17, so important that Bellingcat has removed the pictures. This is my hypothesis. It seems so, according to what is to be found on the web via “friend” Google, that Bellingcat and MH17 are also intertwined. Interesting!

About the BUKs in Ukraine:

“Ukraine does not manufacture entirely new Buk air defense missile systems, but began domestic production of upgraded anti-air missiles and system modifications during the full-scale war. The effort to modify existing Soviet-era Buk-M1 launchers to fire Western missiles began in late 2023.” – Source: IISS, February 24, 2025

The Bellingcat “research”, available on their website, is western propaganda3. Not strange when one finds via our “friend” Google who the Bellingcat sponsors are. What Bellingcat published however has been debunked by a.o.:

The Bellingcat disinformation made me decide to expose the founder of Bellingcat, to expose his one-sided anti-Russia approach, as a blogger, and a self-acclaimed journalist without any official education and therefore not educated in the ethics of journalism, and not an expert in the field of history, or politics. He has been used by the collective west as their useful idiot. He has been made complicit in all evil that is coming, created by NATO expansion, western propaganda, and deliberately provoking Russia (admitted by Jens Stoltenberg, source), making Russians’ blood boil, and reason why Russia is forced to react. The west will get where it is, and was, undeniably begging for. The west is waiting for the answer on their brutal provocations. Yes, the war was provoked. Jens, thanks for admitting this. All by independent investigative journalists and other experts (check list) published articles, and analytical discussions show that the war was provoked. But the provocations only increased.

The latest news, published May 22, 2026: Russia Declares World War 3, West On High Alert. News, published May 23, 2026 by Alexander Mercouris, reading aloud and analysing Putin’s statement, published after the Kiev drone attacks (3 in total) on a school dormitory in Lugansk republic, reported also by the Finnish politician Armando Mema. Note: western media outlets have not written or spoken about the drone attacks.

When sooner or later the Big Boys and Big Girls in Europe, the collective west, learn to know the reality of the escalating provoked aggression of Russia, they must stay Big Boys and Big Girls also then, take the consequences of their own western provocations, and not cowardly blaming the Russians for it.

! Attention: a video, published July 17, 2021: MH17 witness brings Bellingcat to justice, and the video Bellingcat Scams MH17 Warplane Witness, published a year earlier, on July 14, 2020. Highlighted in it is the name Pieter Huis, and therefore it is interesting to check this PDF and screenshot, that I made on May 23, 2026, from the Bellingcat website. Furthermore: Playlist MH17, including discussions and documentaries. More details about Bellingcat, watch “GRU Assets“ with Max van der Werff (investigative Dutch journalist) and Yana Yerlashova (director, producer & documentary filmmaker). Both have realized the documentary: MH17 – Call For Justice, published on July 17, 2019.

2. How a simple, preoccupied amateur blogger could get an honorary doctorate (and why the university has to withdraw it)

Despite that what is written in the former chapter,

“[…]he [Eliot Higgins, Admin] was awarded in 2025 an honorary doctorate by Leiden University for his contributions to the use of open source intelligence

[the term “intelligence” has to be changed into “disinformation”, since “intelligence” is referring to in-depth thinking, independent, and Bellingcat itself shows, proves, not to be independent at all, even contributing to western propaganda, creating disinformation, and lies; in our time the term “intelligence” is abused everywhere and not guaranteeing per se real intelligence, deep knowledge, awareness and ethics; the CIA is also intelligence, also MI6, but shown to be corrupted, see article: “CIA: Undermining and Nazifying Ukraine Since 1953”, Admin]

– gathering and analysing information from publicly available sources

[publicly available “sources”: like videos, articles, published on YouTube, TikTok, Facebook, X, etc. are used by Higgins to prove delicts of what opposes the west’s view on justice, what opposes their propaganda. It is a fact that the most of all the existing profiles in the social media do not offer a real name, use a fake profile picture, do not offer a link to a website, or any education. But also a lot of so-called science, published on PubMed, and other science platforms, and publishing so-called “peer reviewed” articles can be corrupted, this has been shown.

The most essential factor in the total of information, is the one who is an expert in analysing the utterly careful collected —not cherry picked— information from empirically proven to be reliable sources, and putting the information into the right and complete context. That context is directly related to the complete and most detailed knowledge —if there, and otherwise honestly mentioning not to be informed good enough to judge— of for example historical facts, economical developments etc, able to analyse political leaders and judge in the correct way their characteristics and behaviour, because of many decades long serious observations, not affected by personal emotions, wishes or preferences. He does not push the listener into any specific direction. Since I follow him now for several years, almost daily, I have learned to know Alexander Mercouris as one of the most sincere, reliable and the most intelligent political analysts in the world, weighing his words on a golden scale to avoid misunderstanding or to offend someone. He is also a unique educator who makes difficult subjects easy to understand for all. He creates deep insights, awareness, has a fabulous memory, and an overall picture of a certain subject.

Since Higgins turns out to be a useful western propaganda parrot, it is obvious that he uses only “sources” that fit in his assumptions, half truths, twisted truths, and lies, and the assumptions of all who embrace him because of his western propaganda, like the University of Leiden. It should be forbidden that universities welcome anonymous “sources” and taking their “info” so serious that these “can be used to guarantee historical accuracy and fair judicial process: data that can also be used as evidence in international criminal cases”. As happened with the Bellingcat “evidence”, to corrupt the MH17 investigations and even the trial. – Admin]

– to guarantee historical accuracy

[historical accuracy is completely absent in western propaganda, or twisted, or silenced, or deliberately neglected- Admin]

and fair judicial process: data that can also be used as evidence in international criminal cases

[propaganda and the word “fair” in “fair judicial process: data that can also be used as evidence in international criminal cases” do not match with each other. Propaganda is promoting just one side of the medal. The word “judicial”4 is related with justice, that choses what is right, truth, the full truth, and therefore neutral. The word judicial shows that it is impossible that propaganda can be used in a judicial process.]

Science cannot be committed to any particular beliefs, dogmas, or ideologies.

Conclusion: Leiden University is downgrading science by prostituting science, in order to serve western propaganda and bias. [Read also: “Evidence based science or prostitution?“][Watch: Whistleblower EXPOSES Shocking University Research]

Attention: The preoccupied Higgins (pro-western collective and anti-Russia) found his “science” in the social media, and other open sources, and created “truth” out of his puzzling with what he found there, and was fitting in his anti-Russia mindset, and anti-Russia attitude. He said: ‘Ban algorithms on social media, they poison our democracy‘ but the term democracy is falsely used: Higgins is collecting and publishing only that what serves his beliefs, dogma’s and ideologies. In a democracy all views are welcome, and censorship and propaganda are characteristics of totalitarianism. Not of democracy. The EU in Brussels shows to be transforming into a totalitarian regime5. University Leiden is abusing the term “university”, since the term is derived from the Latin universitas, meaning “the whole”. Leiden University rejects the whole, and supports propaganda for just one detail of the whole. This is directly related to 1.: NATO’s Cognitive Warfare. 2.: Dr. Tögel: State Terrorism and Cognitive Warfare – Understanding Propaganda. 3.: NATO Targeting EU Citizen’s Brains (Dr. Jonas Tögel). 4.: Massformation, mass psychosis, mass hypnosis (Dr. Mattias Desmet, The Psychology of Totalitarianism)

3. Who is Eliot Higgins?

! Attention: the words that are not correctly used, or related with bias, libel and slander, when “analysis” or “investigations” are provided by Bellingcat, and therefore disinformation and propaganda, are coloured with yellow, and also footnotes have been added.

Eliot Higgins is a British journalist and founder of investigative website Bellingcat. He is a well-known supporter6 of open source and free to access information which is reflected by his work and lectures7.

After high school Higgins studied media technology at Southampton Institute for Higher Education. He ultimately dropped out and became interested in investigative journalism after some years of working administrative jobs. At this point he had already been blogging under the pseudonym ‘Brown Moses’. Whilst watching something on the conflict in Lybia in 2011, Higgins noticed the great amount of relevant8 information posted on social media that got ignored because it couldn’t be verified9. This was the first time he applied the ‘Bellingcat method,’ which means cunningly combining footage10, maps and other online information11 to answer questions on serious subjects such as bombardments and assassinations.

This raised Higgins’ enthusiasm for the job after which he founded Bellingcat. These days the investigation initiative has dozens of organizations and philanthropists to fund its activities and has grown to a renowned collective. Famous and influential investigations of the website include the ones on the War in Ukraine12, the crash of MH-1713, the Syrian Civil War14, the Yemeni Civil War and the poisoning of the supposed Russian double agent Sergei Skripal15,16,17 and his daughter.

Higgins and Bellingcat are currently preoccupied with lots of similar investigations and other projects. Amongst these, Higgins is mainly excited about the development of a reverse-image search for online videos.

#39. What western soldiers are going to meet….

Europe is preparing a war against Russia. Their politicians, fuelled by the self fulfilling prophecies1 of NATO’s secretary general, the infamous Mark Rutte, are behaving like stoned youngsters2 and not capable to make wise decisions. Europe is already sending troops to the front in Ukraine3, which is the same as pushing them from a steep cliff into the abyss. They are going to be butchered. These young soldiers have been brainwashed by the western mainstream media, misinformed by Mark Rutte, by some extreme-fear mongering NATO officials, like Rob Bauer, and do believe that they have a task: to liberate the planet from evil, from the Russians. They sincerely believe that they have a chance against Russia. While not in a good shape, not in a good condition, not aware what a real war is. For them, but also for their friends and family, I have a video here, next to all other info in this blog.

Note: the war young European men and women are joining was provoked by NATO expansion. This is a fact. Undeniable truth. This war could and should have been avoided. Lives do not matter for NATO, EU, and USA. It is all about modern colonialism, greed, and economic fascism. Western soldiers are just useful idiots for them. All what I write is shown in this blog Sustainable Politics. All who have died and will die, died and will die a meaningless death after having served a meaningless goal.

Talking to you in this post’s video is Stanislav Krapivnik. He is a former US Army officer, supply chain exec and military-political expert, now based in Russia. He was born in Lugansk during the Soviet times, migrated to the US as a child, served in the US army, did not like what it was doing in former Yugoslavia, quit, and returned to Russia. Mr. Krapivnik is an independent contractor and consults and appears in the international media in his areas of expertise in military matters, NATO, America, history, economics and supply chains.

He is interviewed by Ian Proud. He was a member of His Majesty’s Diplomatic Service from 1999 to 2023. He served as the Economic Counsellor at the British Embassy in Moscow from July 2014 to February 2019, at a time when UK-Russia relations were particularly tense. Prior to Moscow, Ian organized the 2013 G8 Summit in Lough Erne, Northern Ireland, working out of 10 Downing Street. He has also served in Afghanistan and in Thailand. Ian speaks Thai and Russian well, and a smattering of other languages to varying degrees. He is married with two children, and lives in the rolling North Downs of Hampshire, England.

#35. MH17 – unveiling the real culprit

Go directly to the updated post

The original post, named “MH17”, published April 28, 2023, has been ENTIRELY changed on May 6, 2026, because of the recently published scientific book: The Russia-Ukraine War and its Origins (professor Ivan Katchanovski), and another book: What I saw in Ukraine (Benoît Paré, international observer), but also because the two links to Bellingcat had become meaningless: in 2023, when I published the original post, both links were directing to a Bellingcat web-page with a picture of a BUK, Russian made, in 2008, in Ukraine. The articles were still there, but the pictures of the BUK, with the text that included the year 2008, and that it were Russian BUKs, are gone. Bellingcat removed them. Go to the updated post.

#32. NATO’s Cognitive Warfare

Lecture (2023) by Dr. Jonas Tögel, published on September 10, 2025 (subtitled)

Dr. Jonas Tögel is a German psychologist, American studies scholar, propaganda researcher, and bestselling author. He works as a research associate at the Institute of Psychology at the University of Regensburg. His motivation is to help people recognize, understand, and neutralize manipulation in everyday life and propaganda. In doing so, he is committed to strengthening his audience’s resilience so that one can remain peaceful, positive, and able to act even in difficult times. Website: Dr. Jonas Tögel

“When I gave my lecture on NATO’s cognitive warfare in spring 2023, it was not foreseeable how much the threat of war in Europe would increase.
Today it is clear that cognitive warfare has divided populations, weakened the peace movement, and that it is therefore possible to continue to push forward with rearmament and a new, major war in Europe.
What is needed now is an understanding of the mechanisms of war propaganda and a determined, shared, and loud desire for peace.” – Dr. Jonas Tögel

Quote: “[…..] we first discuss how to define “misinformation”, and how it relates to various other commonly used terms such as “disinformation” and “fake news”. Next, we examine the psychology of correcting misinformation: what happens when someone is exposed to a fact check, and what are the benefits and drawbacks of correcting misinformation once the damage is already done? Finally, we discuss how to build psychological resilience against misinformation through psychological “vaccines” or “inoculation”: we look at the theoretical background of inoculation theory (dating back to the 1960s), its modern application within the context of online misinformation (in online games and educational videos), and future prospects and research avenues in the field.“

Attention: Both authors are professors at the university of Cambridge: check Jon Roozenbeek and Sander van der Linden. The biography on their Cambridge profile doesn’t mention any collaboration with NATO or writing for NATO. There’s no link to the NATO document “Inoculation Theory and Misinformation”. Why not? There must be a reason.
There’s no link to their Cambridge profile on the NATO profile. Check: Jon Roozenbeek and Sander van der Linden. Why not?
Conclusion: That, which cannot stand the light of day, is being concealed.
Both professors have prostituted their knowledge regarding the possibility of brain manipulation, and NATO is the pimp.

#28. Russian propaganda?

  • Original post published: July 29, 2020, in: Multerland blog
  • Edited: July 30, 2020
  • Edited: July 06, 2025 – Note: In the meantime we passed the year 2022, in which, named like that: the Russian Special Project started. In the post below I write that Russian politics, like all politics world wide, are not reliable. That was in 2020, when I was not up to date about the developments in Kiev, Ukraine, the coup there in 2014, the provoked war, etc. etc. All what is related with that is to be found in my blog Sustainable Politics, that I started in 2023, after my LinkedIn posts/comments had been censored because of EU guidelines and my account had been suspended for a short time: I was even named a Russian Troll there. But there is more, and since the war in Ukraine, all what happened there, and in USA, Europe, my political knowledge about Russia has become real in-depth knowledge, fact checked, after having been informed about Putin, Lavrov, the provoking aggressive role of NATO, USA, EU, in the Ukraine war, etc., by the highest reliable of the west’s political scientists and investigative journalists. You can find a gallery, and a list of them here. My answer on the question, that I asked myself in 2020: into which direction I would run in case needed: I would still, now, 2025, run into the direction of Russia, but taking my Acousticom2 with me to find a green place to live, because also in Russia the radiation from man-made EMF is too high. RNCNIRP is an advisory commission. Not a governmental EMF safety guidelines decision makers commission. Read more about RNCNIRP here.

July 29, 2020

The publications in the media about the Russian decision to ban Wi-Fi and smartphones from schools, are obviously considered to be Russian propaganda, by “Telecom” [see tweet].

What is “Russian propaganda”?

“The propaganda of the Russian Federation is propaganda that promotes views, perceptions or agendas of the government of Russia. The media include state-run outlets and online technologies,[3][4] and may involve using “Soviet-style ‘active measures‘ as an element of modern Russian ‘political warfare‘””.[5]    Read more here. (Wikipedia)

The new guidelines for schools, and online learning at home, as presented by the ministry of health in Russia, are created by RusCNIRP, a group of independent scientists who have studied EMF and experienced electromagnetic radiation on volunteering humans, in Russia. RusCNIRP has found highly alarming research results concerning the health of all human beings, especially for the foetus, babies, children, and teenagers. Not only for Russians, not only for Russian foetuses, babies, children and teenagers, but for all human beings. Science is not politically interested, not owned by politics and governments.

“Russian propaganda” as it essentially is, is not related at all with what the Ministry of Health in Moscow has decided about schools and online learning at home, but the decision of the Russian Ministry of Health opens indeed a very nice crystal clear view on Russia and the care of Russians for their children.

The “Free West”?

“Russian propaganda” is an expression for those outside Russia who like to influence the opinion of the crowds who live in the so-called “free west”, where all can say what they like to say [but nobody listens]. The “free” west does not exist. In the free west the so-called free people have become the slaves of the industry that rules all the governments, via the votes of these slaves, via a fake democratic system. In the free west people really believe they are free.

Capitalism and Communism

Russia is not different from the “free west”, since also there political systems restrict the people’s freedom: the Tsar was thrown from the throne in 1917 and other types of “Tsars” took over the totalitarian power. The “free west”points to Russia as an unfree state, Russia points to the west for the same. The industry in both East and West has during the era of the industrialisation taken over the reigns of politics[see article]. Capitalism is now also blossoming where communism was and even IS dictated. Communism is essentially an utterly social “ism”, but the world was not ready for it and one cannot force human evolution by violence, as happened in Russia, as happens in China, and why communist countries are factually not communist at all. Capitalism rules also in China, North Korea, everywhere. Also EU is not different from what is happening in Russia, in USA. The industry is the absolute totalitarian power where all world politics are merchandisers for. The crisis we are in is a result of blind capitalism, and the inborn and stimulated by industry greed of human beings.

Painting: Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński, without a title. For me it is the blind monster industry that eats human beings. All walk in his wide opened mouth, something inside urges them to go in it (greed) and they do not see where they walk into. Their mind is sleeping. They are blind also. Not aware of what is happening: that they will be transformed into the faeces of the monster. Humans are the industry’s waste.

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?”

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?” Source

The so-called “free west” is scaremongering people for Russia, because the so-called “free west” people could lose their freedom, their free choice, their free will, when Russia is going to become too powerful. Which freedom?

“If freedom is here, what does prison look like?” Source

Well,

  • when reading the news about 5G, the way it is rolled out and the speed of the rollout
  • when discovering the total absence of any industrial scientific research of the biological effects of 5G
  • when learning about the support of the “free” west of corrupted safety guidelines decision makers groups like ICNIRP, FCC, ARPANSA, Safety Code 6 [See also: wikipedia]
  • when reading about the role of the corrupted WHO
  • when reading about Bill Gates, vaccines, the totally absurd, insane, unnecessary vaccine cocktail of till about 16 different vaccines, where parents of new born babies in USA are obliged to agree with. Read article Children’s Health Defense

…then I wonder in what kind of a freedom we live in. Then I do not wonder which side I should choose if it comes to choices:

I would choose for Russia.

My view on Russia

Choosing for Russia is not a synonym for agreeing with their politics, though I understand the Russian revolution, though I love their hymn, and though I understand the essence of communism. As a child I felt the enormous fear of both my parents, when the news came that Russia invaded Hungary [1956]. I was 8 years old. When there was ever something to be afraid of, later, I translated it automatically into “Russians”. My father hated Stalin, deeply, he hated communism, the communist leaders, and I did not understand it then, but later I did, and I agreed. I learned later that politics is not the same as culture. I learned from my mother the love for the Russian dances and music, but I also felt and feel love for for instance Spanish dances, Hungarian dances, all traditional dances and music. I dislike the music of the American cowboys however, their arrogant view on the American indigenous people, and their  “country and western” music. I can not listen to it.

I love nature. As Russians do. Love for nature is deeply rooted in the Russian soul. I feel the same. When it comes to choices, I choose for Russia. If I had to run for my life, I would run to Russia, not to the USA.

My view on the USA

America was a glorious country, for me, Americans were heroes: born some years after WWII out of parents who witnessed the war in the Netherlands, and who experienced Americans as liberators, I only heard positive words, and deep respect. America was glorified. My view on America changed during my life and on a certain moment I really did not understand why people would like to go there, to live there, or to go for a holiday there. The American glory of 1945 must have created an addiction in Americans to glory itself, to play the role of the liberator everywhere in the world, and to interfere finally in politics where they did not have the right to. The greed of their ancestors, who invaded America, was and is obviously in the DNA of the Americans: they never stopped to invade, and their out of the cowboy-guns derived advanced war industry helped them to win insane cruel wars. During the last decades the American glory faded out. Then there was Trump with: “We Make America Great Again!”

His politics have speeded up the rotting process of USA that started when Columbus arrived on that continent. He exposes the enormous numbers of far-right voters, Trump voters, the fake holiness of Christians in USA, who made it happen that Trump won. “It was meant to be, and a sign of God”. Most probably all this could happen because white-supremacy-America has no authentic culture, with roots far back in history, from the beginning of mankind: Americans of the present are the heirs of the fortune hunters from Europe. All what was authentic American has been stolen, killed, removed, ridiculed, humiliated, and this has not stopped yet: the indigenous people of America who are still alive still live in reservations and have no rights. The white supremacy overruled not only the indigenous people, but also the by white supremacists from Africa into America entered black people, the white man’s slaves, and all other human colours that appeared in USA, and are trying to enter right now the USA: “Go back where you came from!“. But the new Americans are awaking already a long time, and times and American society are finally really changing. The white supremacists feel backed into a corner, and act in the same way as those who invaded America, and killed all who were trying to defend their property and were opposing them. There is a revival of the cowboy mentality and it is supported by their self chosen pro-cowboy government. But much more intense: it is now a political movement.

That Americans [together with the British, Canadians, Polish and Russians] liberated Europe from Nazi Germany, stays a fact where we, Europeans, are eternally grateful for. The new fact is that Nazism is now experiencing a new dawn in the USA itself.

It is the world wide governing American, by politics funded and supported industries, and out of this American industry mentality born Russian, Chinese, Iranian, African, South American, Australian, Canadian, and European industries, which rule humanity, life on Earth. The shallow life-style in industrial countries is comparable with the shallow lifestyle as presented in the many Hollywood films, which have polluted the view of humans on sexuality and respect, world wide. The seed of the rottenness of the entire world started to grow in Hollywood, and infected via the Hollywood films all peoples of the world. Telecom industry is derived from America’s film industry, and America’s war industry, that found propaganda for it via the film industry and nowadays via the gaming industry, a side product of the film industry. Telecom uses psychological ways to hide its own propaganda by blaming Russia for what it is doing itself. Wake up, peoples of the world, stop to be sheeples [for those who think I wrote it wrong: sheeples is combination of sheep and peoples].

Conclusion

The claim of the telecommunications industry that the in Russia banned smartphones and Wi-Fi from schools should be considered as Russian propaganda, is a dirty lie, and propaganda itself, merchandising, manipulating the mind of the “free west” peoples, in order to achieve that the sheeples will say no to a sane, ethical decision of Russians. Sanity and ethics are missing in the telecom industry, in all industries, the multi nationals. Everywhere. Governments should disconnect from the industry and their catastrophic economic fetishism. The Russian Ministry of Health did. If there is a future, it must be in Russia. The signs are there that they can think.

Note: the mentioned tweet in the first sentence was published by Susan Foster. Susan Foster lives in Colorado, USA, writes articles for Children’s Health Defense, and is Honorary Firefighter of the San Diego Fire Department; US Adviser EM Radiation Research Trust (UK). See: Twitter. Her timeline on Twitter also shows how the situation in the USA is escalating.

One of Susan Foster’s tweets contains the following video. The YouTube channel shows more of the USA, where pro-American governments are willing to cooperate with, and not with Russia. Russian politics are, as all politics, indeed not reliable, but the Russian culture, art and science is still very strong and of a high quality. Russia is part of geological Europe.  So, EU, do not blame me for choosing for Russia. It is born out of your own totalitarian politics, by hiding details about 5G, by mandating 5G, your undemocratic politics about so-called safety guidelines for EMF by choosing for the ICNIRP monopoly, mandating unhealthy, unnecessary vaccines, denying the facts of pesticides, neonicotinoids, that kill life in soils, and by cooperating with a country that is reigned by “Gestapo Trump“. Washing hands in innocence, pretending to be leaders, our truthful leaders, walking like cowardly sheep behind Big “Brother” USA.

#22. Koblenko

[Laatste update: Mei 1, 2025]

Ik hoor er niet meer bij…

Maar ik hoorde er wel bij. Ik ging ook regelmatig in, en met de stroom mee, dat voelt lekker, samen, heerlijk, we zijn het eens, ja, inderdaad, Poetin deugt niet, moet je kijken, dat jacht dat besteld was in Italië. Bijvoorbeeld. Maar tegelijkertijd was er ook altijd iets wat niet alleen ik zag, wanneer, zoals in mijn geval, kijkend naar die ene documentaire over hem die, hoe merkwaardig is dat, nu niet meer terug te vinden is bij NPO Uitzending Gemist, in die enorme waslijst die aangereikt wordt daar wanneer je de zoekterm “Poetin” gebruikt, of zie ik die over het hoofd1? Hoe dan ook: ik werd me bewust, onderwijl kijkend, observerend, invoelend, luisterend: hij deugt.
Ik kon daarom niet begrijpen waarom hij Oekraïne binnenviel.
Nu, 2025, drie jaren verder en enorm veel historisch wetenschappelijk onderzoeksmateriaal, achtergrondinformatie en details rijker, begrijp ik waarom hij Oekraïne binnenviel.
En…, iedereen die de feiten kent, zou hetzelfde gedaan hebben.

Daarom: ik hoor er niet meer bij.
Ik schrijf dit nadat ik weer geconfronteerd werd met personen of een persoon, waar ik niet meer bij wil horen, maar die ik ondanks mijn pogingen hen te mijden, toch “tegen het lijf loop” in dit geval, via het scherm van mijn computer omdat ik als een in Noorwegen wonende Nederlandse graag af en toe naar niet-politieke, Nederlandse, ontspannende uitzendingen kijk, zoals Bed&Breakfast, Boer Zoekt Vrouw of RailAway. De overdosis aan negativiteit in de politieke wereld van vandaag moet worden gecompenseerd, nu en dan.

Maar….

Wat je ook opent, welke omroepzender dan ook, met de eigen talk show, de reclame spotjes —zelfs dat: adverteren door een omroep voor bijvoorbeeld “De kinderen van Rutte”2, een TV serie over Rutte die lesgeeft, die het volk moet overtuigen dat Rutte een waar-achtig mens zou zijn met een hart—je wordt ongevraagd en ongewild met propaganda geconfronteerd, en dus heb ik een trailer van die serie gezien. De Rutte propaganda wordt gewoon pal vóór een populair programma ingelast, zonder enige aankondiging, hoe slim, en het naïve volk, zich verkneukelend op wat er gaat komen, wordt ermee ingewreven, zapt niet, want men wil het komende programma niet missen, geen seconde ervan. Je kunt geen beter psychologisch perfect gekozen moment bedenken. Dus gebeurde dat ook.

“Bar Laat”, over Loretta Schrijver, met Jeroen Pauw en hé, Koblenko zit ook aan tafel.

Wanneer je uiteindelijk, nu, 2025 —na een leven lang geleefd te hebben (geboren in 1948), en mezelf verdiept te hebben in wat het westen is, terwijl ik leef in dat westen, en dus een constante waarnemer ben, een ervaringsdeskundige, een kritisch geworden ervaringsdeskundige— dan toch een keer meekijkt met het anders gemeden “Bar Laat”, vanwege het overlijden van Loretta Schrijver, en verwachtende dat Jeroen Pauw aanwezig zou zijn als gast, en ja, die was aanwezig, want samengewerkt met Loretta en jarenlang haar geliefde geweest, dan zit daar ook Victoria Koblenko aan tafel als, jawel, politicoloog.3 Ik heb na de intro van “Bar Laat”, met Jeroen Pauw, niet verder gekeken, want geen zin in Koblenko of enige andere gast.

Koblenko: politicoloog?

Koblenko heeft inderdaad politicologie gestudeerd in Leiden—las ik in Wikipedia4, bij gebrek aan een website van haar die adequate informatie biedt, want “under construction”—en behaalde het bachelor niveau. Maar ben je met alleen een bachelor diploma ook inderdaad een politicoloog?

Dat Koblenko absoluut niet op de hoogte is van de historische en politieke feiten in Oekraïne, terwijl ze gevraagd wordt om haar zegje te doen als zelf-benoemd “expert” in allerlei talk-shows en via lezingen, getuigen haar eigen woorden, waarin duidelijk wordt aan welke kant zij staat5. Ze heeft zelfs een interview6 gemaakt met wat men noemt “de first lady van Oekraïne”, terwijl die helemaal geen first lady meer is, omdat de termijn van de man in het groene T-shirt officieel verstreken is, en omdat we inmiddels weten wie die man in dat groene T-shirt werkelijk is… , en daarom zou Koblenko geen interview met die “lady” hebben moeten willen afnemen. Voor de vele feiten over Zelensky verwijs ik graag naar de echte Oekraïne deskundigen, die te vinden zijn in dit blog.

Hoe die oorlog is begonnen, waarom, wat er in het zuidoosten van Oekraïne aan oorlogsgeweld plaatsvond vanuit en door Kiev zelf, met raketaanvallen, terreur, volkerenmoord en meer, omdat er Russen wonen die zich, terecht overigens en vooral begrijpelijk want gediscrimineerd door Kiev, niet wilden conformeren met de pro USA regering die na de door USA georkestreerde coup in 2014 zitting nam in Kiev, en wat allemaal terug te vinden is in door onderzoeksjournalisten gemaakte opnames aldaar: ze weet het niet, hoeft kennelijk niets te lezen, want “door geboorte deskundig” omdat ze geboren is in Oekraïne, in 1980, in Vinnytsja7. Dat is 45 jaren geleden. Ze verhuisde mee met haar ouders (waarom verhuisden die?) naar Nederland in 1992, dat is 32 jaren geleden. De omstandigheden in de relatie tussen Oekraïne en Rusland waren toen bovendien totaal anders dan die nu zijn.
Welke informatiebronnen zij gebruikt is niet te achterhalen omdat haar website8 nog in opbouw is. Hoelang al? Wanneer mensen haar vragen naar informatie over Oekraïne is zij verplicht aan te kunnen tonen waar zij die vandaan haalt, zodat men weet of datgene wat zij gaat vertellen pro-Oekraïne is of tegen-Oekraïne want zij volgt daadwerkelijk de mensen die Oekraïne afbreken, en schuldig zijn aan de moord op Oekraïners door hen de oorlog in te sturen. Alle details en feiten zijn o.a. in dit blog te vinden.

Er is vooral in Oekraïne een enorm gebrek aan betrouwbare bronnen, en dat wordt aangetoond door het feit dat de oppositiepartij-leider Oleksandr Dubinsky ….. in een Oekraïense gevangenis zit en geen contact mag onderhouden met de buitenwereld. Professor Glenn Diesen9, heeft desondanks een interview10 met hem weten te regelen.

Koblenko wil ooit terug. Naar wat? En als wie?

De doden die zijn gevallen waren nog in leven geweest wanneer Koblenko en politieke soortgenoten begonnen waren met het bestuderen van de feiten die de mainstream media niet melden, want verplicht om westerse propaganda te kopiëren, te plakken en te publiceren, waardoor het eenvoudig blijft om de rode draad in een talk show te houden, en alles als “wij gelijkgezinden onder elkaar” naar buiten toe uit te stralen, met hier en daar wellicht—want zo ging het altijd—een andere stem, die dan toch weer overstemd werd door een andere gast gekozen door de propaganda machine achter de schermen.

Het Oekraïne zoals dit door de mainstream media getoond wordt bestaat niet. De realiteit is anders, maar dan moet je willen en durven kijken. Koblenko kijkt niet. Het Oekraïne dat zij verliet bestaat niet meer. Het is mogelijk dat er een heel andere wind gaat waaien in Oekraïne, wanneer Oleksandr Dubinsky (zie voetnoot 7) president zou worden. Er zijn nog geen verkiezingen geweest. Zelensky wil aanblijven. Doorvechten. Nog meer Oekraïners moeten worden afgeslacht.

Het Nederlandse schatkist-geld is op

De talk show “Bar Laat” begon, net zoals alle omroepen dat doen momenteel, met het laten zien van deze advertentie: Laat de Publieke Omroep Niet Wegbezuinigen11.

Ook die advertentie had er helemaal niet hoeven te zijn, wanneer Nederland zichzelf niet arm gemaakt had aan de oorlog in Oekraïne, door ook Nederland zelf geprovoceerd, want lid van NAVO, en dan had al dat geld in de staatskas kunnen blijven, de Groningers eindelijk hun huizen gekregen die beloofd zijn door nu-NAVO secretaris, dan hadden de slachtoffers van de belastingaffaire allemaal gekregen wat hun beloofd was, want hun recht, dan was er geen energiecrisis geweest, geen inflatie, dan waren er geen bezuinigingen nodig geweest op onderwijs, gezondheidszorg, en nu dus de omroepen, en dan had Koblenko gewoon nu al terug kunnen keren naar een Oekraïne dat, zoals voor de coup in 2014, nauw samenwerkte, in vrede, met Rusland.

Update, Maart 31, 2025 / Dat de Nederlandse schatkist leger en leger wordt (hoe bijzonder, dat woord “leger” in deze context) komt onder meer ook door wat in de nieuwsbrief12 van Investigate Europe staat geschreven over ook het Nederlandse “leger”: “Europese leiders beloven de defensie-uitgaven te verhogen. Er worden miljarden euro’s vrijgemaakt om nationale legers te versterken en gezamenlijke militaire initiatieven uit te breiden.”

Koblenko is met haar Ruslandhaat-campagne een voor een oorlogszuchtig EU belangrijk psychologisch wapen om een sterk vijandbeeld te creëren, dat nodig is om de goedkeuring van het [ten onrechte] russofoob13 gemaakte volk af te dwingen voor de noodzaak van onverantwoorde want volstrekt onnodige financiële uitgaven van een groter leger en meer wapens, dat alleen het imago van Brussel dient, want de schaamte voor de overigens lang geleden al voorspelde nederlaag in die door NAVO/USA/EU uitgedaagde oorlog moet verstopt worden. Dat vijandbeeld is precies wat Koblenko aan het volk “verkoopt” in talk shows, lezingen en ook “Libelle”, één van de allereerste -opgericht in 1934- en meest gelezen damesbladen in Nederland en Vlaams België14, waarin o.a. haar interview met “de first lady van Oekraïne” verscheen1516. Professor Glenn Diesen schreef een boek over russofobie17.

Katchanovski

Jij, Koblenko, verdient geld met westerse propaganda, en ondermijnt daarmee elke vorm van toekomst voor Oekraïne.
Neem eens serieus de tijd voor een echte studie, en begin met Dr. Ivan Katchanovski18. Ook een Oekraïner, een politieke wetenschapper, moedig, want de feiten tot op de bodem onderzoekend, en ermee naar buiten komend ook19, tegen de stroom van de verraders en huichelaars in, de gehersenspoelden, ondanks de gevaren ervan, omdat tegen de stroom in denken en handelen gevaarlijk is, zoals Gonzalo Lira20 heeft moeten ervaren.
Er zijn diverse westerse onafhankelijke onderzoeksjournalisten die het leven zuur gemaakt is, en wordt.
Er zijn zelfs westerse dissidenten die het westen ontvlucht zijn. Waaronder bijvoorbeeld Oekraïne onderzoeker Eva Karene Bartlett21 (documentaires Donbass22), en Ben Norton23 (China)

Wanneer klaar met het bestuderen van de onderzoeken van Dr. Ivan Katchanovski: ga verder met Dr. Jeffrey D. Sachs24, Dr. Glenn Diesen25, etc.26.

Zeer selectief zijn, leren wat betrouwbaar is en waarom

Zomaar iets kiezen uit de door YouTube aangereikte lijst na het gebruik van zoektermen levert info op die onbetrouwbaar kan zijn, misleidend, of zelfs gelogen en dus af te raden.
Gedurende de afgelopen jaren heb ik deze lijst27 samengesteld met namen, die te checken zijn, via websites, en die 100% betrouwbaar zijn gebleken. Er zijn inmiddels ook personen door mij weer van die lijst verwijderd, wanneer bleek dat die onwaarheden verkondigden, waarvan ik zeker wist dat het onwaarheden waren, of aannames, want niet bewezen. Ook personen die te kennen gaven in videos bijvoorbeeld pro-Trump te zijn, omdat het een held zou zijn, die een aanslag overleefde, zijn verwijderd.
Ik streef naar neutraliteit, naar verifieerbare waarheden. De geschiedenis liegt niet, maar het westen verzwijgt wel heel bewust en zorgvuldig delen van de geschiedenis, of negeert die, gemakshalve. Er is volop materiaal verzameld om mee aan de slag te gaan. Dit geldt voor iedereen die wakker wil worden. Ik voer geen Russische propaganda, ik publiceer logica, feiten, en indien die feiten door Russen worden verteld, want gecontroleerd waar, dan zou ik de waarheid onrecht aandoen door die feiten links te laten liggen. Datzelfde geldt voor iedere wereldburger. Ook voor jou, Koblenko.

Politicoloog?

Tot je werkelijk op de hoogte bent, Koblenko: verwijder de titel politicoloog.
Je bent het niet voordat de titel “Dr.” voor je naam staat, maar zelfs dan ben je nog niet per se Oekraïne-Rusland deskundige. Daar komt veel en veel meer bij kijken.
Je toont aan dat je gewoon simpelweg en rechtuit gezegd: onwetend bent, zelfs bewust onwetend omdat er overal correcte neutrale informatie te vinden is, en omdat je jezelf politicoloog noemt ben je mijns inziens verplicht het volk voor te lichten met feiten, niet met wat “cherry-picking” feitjes, of wat 1-dags impressies, wat gevoelens betreffende Kiev en de voornaam van je zoon, een interview met een Oekraïne-onwaardige persoon die samen met wie zij haar man noemt in Canada applaudisseerde voor een Duitse nazi veteraan28, haar “man” volgt terwijl ze weet dat die vuile oorlog door toedoen van haar man realiteit werd door te luisteren naar Boris Johnson29, doch gestopt had kunnen worden, en weet van de jaarlijkse pro Bandera30 tochten in Kiev (of weet je dat niet Koblenko?), nee, de volle waarheid, tot in alle complexe details en sub details.

Verklaring

Natuurlijk zou ik beschouwd kunnen worden als iemand die ook kopieert en plakt, als een papegaai fungeert, betreffende het intellectuele gedachtegoed van alle genoemde wetenschappers. Echter. Mijn eigen goed ontwikkelde autonome denken vond herkenning in wat die wetenschappers vertelden, heb het ervaren als het grootste intellectuele goed dat een mens kan ontvangen. Eindelijk kwamen er echte denkers op mijn pad, betreffende de wereldpolitiek en wereldgeschiedenis. Alle puzzelstukjes vielen op hun plek met hetgeen zij aanreikten.
