As Vladimir Zelensky pretends he is not losing, his citizens are increasingly rising up against forced conscription<

Ukraine’s self-declared above-election leader Vladimir Zelensky has found time to publicly share his fantasies with the only audience he cares about: the West, in particular the US, and specifically its president Donald Trump. Since it must be hard for Zelensky to get anyone’s ear in Washington nowadays – who likes a sponger returning for the zillionth time after being shown the door? – he had to do it in public. Luckily, The Atlantic was ready to help (sort of, but we’ll get to that). And yes, that would be the same Atlantic that has downplayed the Epstein monstrosities.

Unduly platformed in the Western mainstream media once again, Zelensky used a conversation with American journalist Simon Shuster to hold forth on his unyielding will to fight to the very last Ukrainian, or, really, the last one who isn’t rich and connected. Because, in Zelensky’s cozy Kiev office – nicely decorated with some of those Ukrainian unit insignia that look just like Nazi ones – Ukraine is not really losing the war. Just like Germany back then, I guess. And since Ukraine is not really losing the war in Zelensky-world, Zelensky seeks to persuade Trump that Russia can be compelled into a peace that does not correspond to the fact that, in the real world, Russia is winning the war. See? Easy! If only Donald would finally get it, too.

Yet, hyper-focused as he is on getting back into the good graces – and purse – of Washington, Zelensky is missing the fact that ordinary Ukrainians have had enough. Or, of course, he simply could not care less. Yet a fact remains a fact: Ukrainians are not only unwilling to go to the front to die, be injured, or captured in a perfectly avoidable and absolutely hopeless proxy war on behalf of the West, they are also increasingly rebellious.

Indeed, they have long been reluctant enough to produce extremely high rates of going AWOL and desertion: Since February 2022, the total number of prosecutions for both – slightly different – ways of running from the military has reached about 300,000. Since the authorities do not even have the capacity to go after all cases, this is certain to be an undercount.

Another sign of Ukrainians’ refusal to die for the Zelensky regime, its obstinacy, and its insane foreign policy is, of course, “busification.” A fairly new – and already extremely popular – term to refer to the often viciously violent manhunts by forced-recruiting gangs, who frequently shove their struggling victims into minibuses, busification is a never-ending scandal in Ukraine. It has been going on for years now, is getting worse all the time, and is running into more and more widespread and determined resistance.

Just consider a few recent facts: As Ukrainian news site Strana.ua reports, a high Ukrainian official has just had to admit that the number of official complaints submitted against the forced-recruitment gangs from the so-called TTsK offices has doubled between 2024 and 20025. (TTsK is an abbreviation for, roughly, “territorial manpower re-supply centers.”) Yet official complaints are only the tip of the iceberg. What is much more important is the rising resistance on the ground. Both the men targeted by the TTsK goons and all sorts of bystanders – family, friends, colleagues, complete strangers who happen to be present) are fighting back.

This, too, is not unprecedented: Cases of open rebellion against forced mobilization have occurred for at least two years. Last fall, for instance, a TTsK office was attacked in a provincial town in Ukraine’s usually hyper-nationalist extreme West. Apparently, even there, dying for Zelensky’s war for NATO is not popular anymore. Three months ago, in the big port city of Odessa, a crowd attacked a TTsK vehicle to free its captives.

It’s not hard to understand the main reason people fight back against being dragged off into a hopeless and useless war. But there are other reasons as well: The manhunting gangs of TTsK have an awful and richly deserved reputation for excessive violence, as even Western infowar outlet Radio Svoboda has long had to admit: some of their victims have died, that is, been killed by TTsK personnel before ever getting to see the front or even basic training (which is hardly worth the label in Ukraine). TTsK manhunters also engage in petty yet brutal crime such as kidnapping for ransom and theft. It goes without saying that the whole mess is shot through, from top to bottom, with ruthless, bloodsucking corruption. This is Ukraine, after all.

None of this abuse and the resistance it provokes has diminished. Instead, it is all getting more intense: Beatings, including so severe that they cause death, are continuing, for instance. Lawyers trying to assist the victims have their limbs broken. A state official trying to inspect a TTsK office was simply detained. You get the gist: The TTsK gangs are law unto themselves and can hardly be controlled anymore.

Yet they can be resisted. As Strana.ua reports, the escalating struggles between the forced-mobilization goons and their victims are beginning to resemble a “quiet war, but this time inside Ukraine.” Ordinary Ukrainians, and again, very much including in the often hyper-nationalist West of the country with its regional metropole Lviv, are ramping up their defense against their own authorities’ relentless death wish. Only over the last month, men in Dnepropetrovsk and Lviv pulled knives to fight back against the TTsK manhunters. Also in Lviv Region, other unwilling recruits have deployed at least one grenade and firearms to cover their escape. And so on.

Zelensky may be delusional and, as that Atlantic piece admits, “petulant.” He may also be unwilling to listen to even his own advisers, some of whom at least, we read, have finally understood that peace must be made soon or things will only get worse for Ukraine. But Ukrainians in general – despite the enormous manipulation of their media and the authoritarian suppression applied by the Zelensky regime are not only saying “no.” They are acting on it. And they are right to do so. They have been abused as cannon fodder by their “friends” from hell in the West and their own regime. Ironically, what they really need is another one of their famous “Maidans.” But this time without Western interference.

Since a large selection of the Epstein files was released a short time ago, most of the discussion centered on scandalous issues such as pedophilia and cannibalism, the topic of “50 Shades of Jeffrey Epstein” being, of course, quite titillating to a certain large portion of the public. But it is important to understand that the pedophilia and the cannibalism are essentially a smokescreen behind which hide much more important Epsteinian initiatives, supported by such magnates and luminaries as Bill Gates, formerly of Microsoft, German AI expert Joscha Bach and MIT linguistics mafia head and tired old political radical Noam Chomsky.

Yes, of course, cannibalism and pedophilia took place: the Epstein gang ate babies and sexually exploited boys and girls they purchased from, among others, their friend Vladimir Zelensky of the former Ukraine. But that’s just to stock the buffet and the boudoir. These are just the typical perversions of people who feel unrestrained by any sense of public morality: they may display some modicum of decency toward their own ilk; as far as everyone else — for them they are just human toys, game animals, or biological robots.

Five centuries of continuous colonialist exploitation and slavery form the basis of the operating system of all Western elites, along with racism, fascism and eugenics. So, what lay beyond the buffet (human infants, yum!) and the boudoir (hello, Lolita!)? Let’s take a peek inside Epstein’s lab and see what was on the slab.

The topics under discussion centered on genetics, cybernetics and the architecture of globalist control. Very rich and very influential members of Epstein’s informal club were not at all shy in discussing what amounted to techno-fascism as their choice globalist regime for the XXI century.

The newspaper Berliner Zeitung opened its éxposé with the title “Climate change as a means for fighting overpopulation: what did a Berlin researcher discuss with Epstein?

In their lengthy emails, Bach, Epstein, and others discussed technical and philosophical concepts that went far beyond typical academic topics and touched on the fields of “racial realism” and eugenics. Bach claimed, among other things, that black children in the US exhibit “slower cognitive development” that they “will never catch up” intellectually but demonstrate “faster motor development.” He criticized studies that attributed these differences to social factors as insufficiently substantiated.

Bach also expressed provocative views on gender roles to Epstein: he claimed that women find abstract systems like mathematics “inherently boring” because, unlike social relationships, they do not attract “social attention.”

In one message, Bach described fascism as “probably the most effective and rationally rigorous way” of organizing society. These reflections were complemented by discussions of whether climate change might be “a good way to solve the problem of overpopulation”—an exchange that American media classified as a discussion of “population reduction.” The bitter irony is that this discussion was held between a German and a Jew. When the correspondence surfaced, Bach declared that it was “simply the style of intellectual communication” accepted in these circles. Indeed, if infant flesh and raping underage girls is copacetic, why not toss in a little fascism and eugenics to spice things up?

There are some interesting historical antecedents to such open and uninhibited intellectualizing. Take, for instance, a scientist named Alfred Rosenberg. He didn’t kill anyone either — he simply engaged in intellectually provocative conversations, particularly with Adolf Hitler, about the inferiority of Jews and Slavs. So why was Alfred the intellectual sentenced to hanging at the Nuremberg Tribunal after poor Adolf was driven to suicide by that horrible Red Army rolling into Berlin? Not to compare mice with men, but shouldn’t something similar be arranged for Joscha now that poor Jeffrey has been driven to suicide just like poor Adolf was? I am just musing…

But it seems that the ultimate solution to the planet’s overpopulation problem was not the sole preoccupation of this circle of like-minded baby-munchers and Lolita-fanciers. They also gave a great deal of thought to ways of eliminating poverty. Epstein asked his friend Bill Gates: “How do we get rid of poor people entirely?” Exactly one year earlier, in February 2010, Bill Gates publicly stated: “Now if we do a really good job on new vaccines, health care, reproductive health services, we could lower that by perhaps 10 or 15 percent.” This quote is still to be found on the internet in spite of arduous efforts at whitewashing it out of existence. Gates repeatedly stated that the world is overpopulated and we are exhaling too much CO2. And then, around 2017, three years before the coronavirus pseudopandemic hit, Gates and Epstein launched into a discussion of a “pandemic simulation.”

Gumilev believed that these teachings were successive and essentially represented a single, long-lived anti-system of the Gnostic-dualistic persuasion.

He also considered the following manifestations of anti-systemic behavior:

• Oprichnina (a state within a state in 16th-century Russia during the reign of Ivan IV “The Terrible”)
• Various revolutionary movements, in the broad sense, especially the radically destructive ones

In later interpretations by Gumilev’s students and followers, the list is often expanded to include Freemasonry, some totalitarian sects, radical left- and right-wing movements of the 20th century, and modern globalist life-denying ideologies.

Dr. Michael Baden believes Epstein’s death may have been a homicide. AP/

By Patrick Reilly

A renowned pathologist who was at Jeffrey Epstein’s autopsy is demanding a fresh investigation, insisting newly released info only confirms his belief that the notorious pedophile was murdered.

Dr. Michael Baden, who was New York City’s chief medical examiner in the 1970s, was so alarmed by what he saw in the August 2019 exam that he publicly declared “the evidence points toward homicide rather than suicide.”

“That was my opinion at that time, and I still stand by it,” the famed pathologist told the Telegraph in an interview published Friday.

“The autopsy findings are much more consistent with a crushing injury caused by homicidal strangulation than caused by hanging by suicide.”

In fact, Baden insisted, documents released in the Epstein files reinforce his belief that the medical examiner rushed to call the death a suicide.

It also showed there was reason to believe that suspicious behavior in the Metropolitan Correctional Center at the time — including a flash of orange on videos that looked like a possible inmate — should not have been dismissed as foolish conspiracies.

“Given all the information now available, further investigation into the cause and manner of death is warranted,” Baden insisted in his latest interview.

Baden had been a witness to the autopsy at the request of Epstein’s brother, Mark Epstein, who has long believed his brother was murdered.

Baden said he and then-Chief Medical Examiner Barbara Sampson agreed that the results were inconclusive and “more information was needed to determine the cause and manner of death.”

Newly released documents also show that the cause of death was initially marked as pending, which, Baden believes, suggests he was correct to think they were waiting for more info.

Instead, just five days later, Sampson declared Epstein’s death a suicide by hanging, blindsiding the expert witness.

“I have not seen any evidence of further study, nothing that indicated further investigation into the cause of death,” Baden told the Telegraph of his shock at the sudden ruling that defied what he had witnessed.

“The autopsy findings are much more consistent with a crushing injury caused by homicidal strangulation than caused by hanging by suicide.”

Specifically, the doctor pointed to three fractures in Epstein’s neck, which he has never witnessed in a hanging suicide in his decades-long career.

“Even one fracture, we have to investigate the possibility of a homicide. Two definitely warrant a full investigation,” he told the paper. “Findings in textbooks never see those fractures, and neither have I.”

Baden additionally maintains that the injuries were not consistent with a noose made from a bedsheet, as officials claimed.

“It wasn’t smooth like the sheet, the markings [on Epstein’s neck] would have required a different type of material,” he said.

Sampson has repeatedly dismissed any evidence of strangulation and defended her office’s findings. The suicide ruling has been accepted by the Trump administration.

A panel of six senior forensic pathologists prepared an exclusive report in 2024 for The Post, re-examining the full autopsy, crime scene pictures and all available information at the time.

Four of the six panel members classified it as suicide — while two found it impossible to give a definitive ruling.

Episode 9 – The Arab Herodotus: Al-Masudi

Islamic Golden Age (2017)

By Eamon Gearon

Film Review

Al-Masudi was a 10th century traveler and historian like the Greek “father of history” Herodotus, who wrote the first comprehensive accounts of Western history in the 5th century BC.

Al-Masudi’s travel writings concerned

• Persia
• Azerberjan
• Armenia
• Sri Lanka
• Sumatra
• Egypt
• India
• Madagascar
• Arabian peninsula
• China
• Madagascar

Three hundred years later the Islamic Marco Pollo Ibn Battuta would follow al-Masudi’ example. See Ibn Battuta: The Islamic Marco Polo

Comprehensive geographically based histories such as al-Masudi’s performed three important functions: 1) providing accurate information to Abbasid merchants and traders about distant lands they sought to trade with, 2) providing an accurate history of Muhammad’s life and the growth of Islam and 3) providing a detailed account (ie full of heroic deeds) of tribal genealogy.

Born in Baghdad 896 AD, al-Masudi began his 20-year travels in 916. By that point, the Abbasid caliphate had lost control over Spain, North Africa and parts of Persia and Mesopotamia, and Baghdad’s House of Wisdom faced growing competition with comparable intellectual centers in Cairo and Cordoba.
