About the Tucker Carlson Putin interview, the interview, and the post-hoc election rigging in the Netherlands: Links 1 for February 8th, 2024

Tonight at 6:00 the Putin interview with Tucker Carlson is being broadcast on TwitterX. Whatever else anyone thinks about it, or what is said, after 911 a journalist from a major network interviewed Osama Bin Laden in his cave somewhere in Afghanistan. There was nothing wrong with that. Either you believe people should have access to information and make informed decisions, sometimes ones you don’t like, or you do not believe people should be able to deviate in thoughts, words and deeds from official state positions.

Either way, it is noteworthy that the culture is being forced to the left with each new narrative/dialectic inserted into the public info-sphere. So it seems critical to me to allow the maximum possible amount of political and religious speech, including criticism of both. Primarily criticism of both as that is the fundamental purpose of freedom of speech. To criticize religious and political authority. Anything else is gossip.

We also know for a fact that the Western narrative on the Ukraine war is brutally inseminated with lies. Lies of omission primarily. History of the Donbas must start with the Russian invasion apparently. And Russia must be judged on what they did, not what restraint they show based on what they could do. Ukraine must not be judged on what they actually do, but on the imputed nobility of their cause, despite things like press ganging for instance and primarily of Hungarians within Ukraine, but others as well. Ukraine must be judged purely as victims.

But this isn’t a movie. All the above being true does not mean that Putin is without blame. Or that he will tell the truth on Tucker. He is not incognizant of the power this interview may have on a Western audience.
Still, I sit in an interesting position. The team I have had the tremendous privilege to work with for over a decade now, and too many to name, but Gates of Vienna in particular, have been having foreign language videos translated and subtitled from many many languages.

This includes videos of Putin in Russian giving speeches to sector leaders in Moscow, meant for internal consumption. So it will be interesting to see how consistent this interview will be with some of those. If I manage to find some of those older videos, I will repost them for a compare and contrast.

Personally not really excited for this interview as curious as to what will happen to Tucker as a result. We don’t think there will be any surprises in it.

Meanwhile, a couple of clips of interest that are quasi related.

1. Ontario MPP for Lanark, now retired, Randy Hillier said when leaving office that there was no political solution out of our problems. I think Geert Wilders may have to agree.

Full text:

 ELECTION UPDATE: The coalition formation process to form a right-wing government has failed due to a new centrist party (NSC) pulling out over some nonsense excuse about “budgetary concerns”.

Unless a minority coalition gets formed, it seems the VVD (Mark Rutte’s party) will now try to form a coalition with the Green Left and EXCLUDE Geert Wilders’ PVV – even though Wilders won the most votes and is continuing to grow in the polls (1 in 3 Dutch people would now vote for him).

If they succeed to form this hellish neoliberal left-wing coalition it’s most likely that Frans Timmermans, the EU “climate pope” will become our new Prime Minister – sending us doing the path of national suicide even further. Timmermans is the former Vice President of the European Commission, he’s the man responsible for the EU’s insane #NetZero and #GreenDeal policies, targeting i.a. the #DutchFarmers.

He is also known for saying “Europe will be diverse and diversity is humanity’s destiny” and that there is not going to be “even in the remotes places of this planet a place that won’t see diversity in its future”. If Timmermans becomes Prime Minister it will be a huge middle finger to The People of The Netherlands who’ve in massive numbers gone out to vote for change. Some sort of national revolt will be bound to happen.

2. This is actually one of the poorer examples of dialectical enforcement from the past few years, but still notable. During the most severe period of lockdowns, especially in Quebec, stores were looted and arson attacks happened during ongoing riots by BLM/ANTIFA etc. towards the colour revolution. These were not punished, or even mentioned by the PM himself, who even took a knee in front of large crowds of BLM protestors on Parliament Hill.

The above Tweet is from February 7th.

3. BREAKING/GRAPHIC: Leaders of KataibHezbollah of IRGC Quds Force are dead! A US Military drone (probably an RQ-9 of #USAF) launched an AGM-114R9X Ninja Hellfire at vehicle carrying Haj Aboubagher Al-Saedi commander of Kataib Hezbollah in Baghdad, Iraq!

5. The Tucker Carlson interview with Vladimir Putin

Famous Italian Author makes appeal to Putin: “Don’t confuse Italy with its government”

Italian author makes open video for Putin, asks that Russia not confuse the communist government of Italy with the people of Italy

Please read the details over at RAIR Foundation

In her video she mentions an effort by the Russian government when Covid was first ravaging Italian homes for the elderly. The video of what she refers to, is below.

Russian leader, Vladimir Putin on the phoney Russia ‘dossier’ which was used by criminals to try and impeach President Trump

This video is from January 2017, and shows how Russia even then thought that there was something very wrong with the narrative which turned into an impeachment effort against President Trump.

Vladimir Putin on liberalism and mass migration to the West

We had our own people (thank you Darlin|<) check the translation from th soft coded titles in the Youtube version of this and it checked out. It is too important an interview to get this wrong. So here it is:

Putin gives hard core press conference on the Trump-prostitute forgery

Once again, grudging admiration is being dragged from me by Vladimir Putin, while a greater and greater mistrust of US intel agencies takes root. After all, it was an FBI guy who fed all that info to two rookie reporters Woodward and Bernstein, to take down a president for no reason other than a personal vendetta about a job posting he felt he should have had.

I guess thats more the norm than I was prepared to accept.

Edinburg Votes to Join Texas, Accelerating Mexico Crisis

The Latest on the Mexican crisis, from Reuters:

EDINBURG, Mexico (Reuters) March 6, 2022 — Edinburg’s legislature voted to join Texas on Thursday and its Washington-backed government set a referendum within 10 days on the decision in a dramatic escalation of the crisis over Tamaulipas state in Mexico.

The Edinburg region of Texas — which was ceded to Mexico in 2016 by then-President Barack Obama to satisfy domestic political pressures — consists on the former counties of Webb, Zapata, Jim Hogg, Starr, Hidalgo, Willacy, and Cameron. The region is now part of Tamaulipas state.

The sudden acceleration of moves to bring Edinburg, which has an Anglo majority and has effectively been seized by Texan forces, formally under Austin’s rule came as UN leaders gathered for an emergency summit to find ways to pressure Texas to back down.

Russian President Vladimir Putin took steps to punish those involved in threatening the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Mexico, ordering the freezing of their Russian assets and a ban on travel into Russia.

The Russian Navy announced a guided-missile destroyer, the Archangel, was heading to the Gulf of Mexico in what it said was a long-planned training exercise and not a show of force.

The Edinburger legislature voted unanimously “to enter into the Republic of Texas with the rights of a citizen of the Republic of Texas”.

The vice-governor of Edinburg, home to Texas’ Gulf of Mexico military base in Port Isabel, said a referendum on the status would take place on March 16. He said all state property would be “nationalized”, the U.S. dollar could be adopted and Mexican troops would be treated as occupiers and be forced to surrender or leave.

The announcement, which diplomats said could not have been made without U.S. President Rand Paul’s approval, raised the stakes in the most serious east-west confrontation since the beginning of the Great Collapse.

Vladimir Putin speaks about dealing with ‘extremism’ in February 2013

First of all, I would like to send a big thank you to all my long suffering translators. I know how hard you work and it is deeply appreciated. It is a labour of love to do these jobs and none of us are paid. So thank you all for caring enough to do this, what I feel is very important, work for everyone’s benefit.

This short clip by Vladimir is just another indicative clip of how the Russian state views things. I wish more Western nations had the same conviction.
