“Ukrainian Army Bombing It’s Own Citizens” Says French Journalist!! Brave Babushka Spills The Beans In Full View Of Ukrainian Soldiers!! Here’s A Realistic Theory Of The Unthinkable Horror Unfolding In Ukraine!!!!
In February 2022, evangelical leader Franklin Graham called on his followers to pray for Vladimir Putin. His tweet acknowledged that it might seem a “strange request” given that Russia was clearly about to invade Ukraine. But Graham asked that believers “pray that God would work in his heart so that war could be avoided at all cost.”
The backlash was fast and direct. Graham had not solicited prayers for Ukraine, some observers commented. And he had rarely called on believers to pray for U.S. President Joe Biden.
A significant subset of the U.S. evangelical community, particularly white conservatives, has been developing a political and emotional alliance with Russia for almost 20 years. Those American believers, including prominent figures such as Graham and Jay Sekulow of the American Center for Law and Justice see Russia, Putin and the Russian Orthodox Church as protectors of the faith, standing against attacks on “traditional” and “family” values. At the center is Russia’s spate of anti-LGBTQ laws, which have become a model for some anti-trans and anti-gay legislation in the U.S.
Now, with Russia bombing churches and destroying cities in Ukraine, the most Protestant of the former Soviet Republics, American evangelical communities are divided. Most oppose Russia’s actions, especially because there is a strong evangelical church in Ukraine that is receiving attention and prayers from a range of evangelical leaders.
Read news coverage based on evidence, not tweets
Nonetheless, a small group of the most conservative American evangelicals cannot quite break up with their long-term ally. The enthusiasm for Russia is embodied by Graham, who in 2015 famously visited Moscow, where he had a warm meeting with Putin.
On that trip, Putin reportedly explained that his mother had kept her Christian faith even under Communist rule. Graham in turn praised Putin for his support of Orthodox Christianity, contrasting Russia’s “positive changes” with the rise of “atheistic secularism” in the U.S.
But it was not always so. Once upon a time, American evangelicals saw the Soviet Union and other communist countries as the world’s greatest threat to their faith.
They carried out dramatic and illegal activities, smuggling Bibles and other Christian literature across borders. And yet, today, Russia, still a country with low church attendance and little government tolerance for Protestant evangelism, has become a symbol of the conservative values that some American evangelicals proclaim.
Bible smuggling
Starting in the 1950s, but intensifying in the 1970s and 1980s, U.S. and European evangelicals presented themselves as intimately linked to the Christians who were suffering at the hands of communist governments.
One evangelical group that emerged at this time was “Open Doors,” whose main aim was to work for “persecuted Christians” around the world. It was founded by “Brother Andrew” Van der Bijl, a Dutch pastor who smuggled Bibles into the Soviet Union and Eastern Europe.
Brother Andrew and other evangelicals argued that what Christians in communist countries really needed were Bibles – reflecting how important personal Bible reading is in evangelical faith.
Brother Andrew turned the smuggling into anti-communist political theater. As he headed toward the border in a specially outfitted vehicle with a hidden compartment that might hold as many as 3,000 Bibles, he prayed. According to one ad that ran in Christian magazines, he said:
“Lord, in my luggage I have forbidden Scriptures that I want to take to your children across the border. When you were on earth, you made blind eyes see. Now I pray, make seeing eyes blind. Do not let the guards see these things you do not want them to see.”
Van der Bijl’s memoir, “God’s Smuggler,” became a bestseller when it was published in 1967.
Taking Jesus to the communist world
By the early 1970s, there were more than 30 Protestant organizations engaged in some sort of literature smuggling, and there was an intense, sometimes quite nasty, competition between groups.
For example, in 1966, a Romanian pastor named Richard Wurmbrand appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Internal Security subcommittee, stripped to the waist and turned to display his deeply scarred back.

A Jewish convert and Lutheran minister, Wurmbrand had been imprisoned twice by the Romanian government for his activities as an “underground” minister before he finally escaped to the West in 1964.
Standing shirtless before U.S. senators and the national news media, Wurmbrand testified, “My body represents Romania, my country, which has been tortured to a point that it can no longer weep. These marks on my body are my credentials.”
The next year, Wurmbrand published his book, “Tortured for Christ,” which became a bestseller in the U.S. He founded his own activist organization, “Jesus to the Communist World,” which went on to engage in a good bit of attention-grabbing behavior.
In May 1979, for example, two 32-year-old men associated with the group flew their small plane over the Cuban coast, dropping 6,000 copies of a pamphlet written by Wurmbrand. After the “Bible bombing,” they lost their way in a storm and were forced to land in Cuba, where they were arrested and served 17 months in jail before being released.
As I describe in my book “The Kingdom of God Has No Borders,” critics hammered these groups for such provocative approaches and hardball fundraising. One leading figure in the Southern Baptist Convention complained that the practice of smuggling Bibles was “creating problems for the whole Christian witness” in communist areas.
Another Christian activist, however, admitted that the activist groups’ mix of faith and politics was hard to beat and had the ability to draw “big bucks.”
After communism: Islam and homosexuality
These days, there is little in the way of swashbuckling adventure to be had in confronting communists. But that does not mean an end to the evangelical focus on persecuted Christians.
Meanwhile, Putin’s policies of cracking down on evangelism do not seem to overly bother some of his conservative evangelical allies. When Putin signed a Russian law in June 2016 that outlawed any sharing of one’s faith in homes, online or anywhere else but recognized church buildings, some evangelicals were outraged, but others looked away.
This is in part because American evangelicals in the 2010s continued to see Putin as being willing to openly support Christians in what they saw as a global war on their faith. But the more immediately salient issue was Putin’s opposition to LGBTQ+ rights and nontraditional views of the family.
In the 21st century, then, the most conservative wing of evangelicals was not promoting its agenda by touting the number of Bibles transported across state lines, but rather on another kind of border crossing: the power of Putin’s reputation as a leader in the resurgent global right.
For the moment, Putin’s status as the global right’s moral vanguard is being severely tested, and the border-crossing advocates of traditional marriage may find themselves on the brink of divorce.
Let the ass-raping begin … anyone who has studied the history of the IMF fully realizes and can easily recognize the IMF’s tried and true method of operation when they see it. BTW, the IMF is a tool of the ‘Predominant Power Structure’ which controls the US State Department, Geopolitics and media. Our friendly bankers at the IMF come bearing false gifts of good tidings & money to help needy countries; only to load them up with massive debts that they can never, ever repay. Once they can’t pay back the first traunch, the fun begins. To get more money to help them out of an even more desperate situation, the host country –in this case Ukraine– must then turn over the control of their country to their new money masters at the IMF. History shows that a large portion of the funds go to the private Swiss bank accounts of the heads of state of the host country and rarely to the stated purpose: people or infrastructure. Bottom line is that the bankers create money out of nothing and then use this money as a tool to take control and then asset-strip third-world countries across the globe. This my friends is how the sausage of US Foreign policy is really made. If you don’t have a clue, get a clue. If you can’t afford a clue rent one from me. Do your homework and quit falling for every 10 second headline spewing from the mouths of the gatekeeper press.
The Jew Zelensky has said that 5,000 women have been sent to the front lines to be blown up by the Russians.
Comment: Seems Zelensky is running out of Ukrainian men to Genocide. Zelensky got the Jews out of Ukraine before this started and is genociding Christian Ukrainians.
On 24 August Ukraine celebrated her Independence Day. It also marked the dubious anniversary of 6 months of war; a war that could have been drastically shortened, tens of thousands of lives saved and peace installed hadn’t it been for the relentless western / NATO provocations, and billions worth of western weapons deliveries to Ukraine. The west pretends these killer weapons are destined to create Peace, and would you believe the media are able to make most of the western world population believe in this nonsense.
It is literally George Orwell’s 1984: “Peace is War and War is Peace;” Orwell’s classical Doublespeak, a language that deliberately obscures, disguises, distorts, or reverses the truth.
On that very day, the NYT brazenly reports, without any evidence whatsoever, that on “Ukraine’s Independence Day, a Russian attack killed at least 22 people and wounded 50, at a train station in eastern Ukraine, near Dnipro.”
The NYT continues, “But despite the missile strike, one of the deadliest on Ukraine’s railways in recent months, Ukraine stood defiant as the country celebrated its separation from the Soviet Union.” In a slickly produced address earlier in the day, President Volodymyr Zelensky declared Ukraine “reborn” six months after Russia invaded.
Such are the flagrant lies dished out to not only the American people. The European media are equally corrupted. At times even more so.
It gradually emerges that public support for western interference – western support of Ukraine – is fading by the day.
According to a Reuters / Ipsos poll, released on 23 August, still 53% of US adults agree that Washington should support Kiev, “until Russian forces are withdrawn from territory claimed by Ukraine.”. Those with doubts to continue pumping weapons into Ukraine, amount to 37%, and 18% oppose such “aid” altogether. Some 28% are undecided.
Forty percent of Americans now agree with the statement that “the problems of Ukraine are none of our business, and we should not interfere,” comparing with 31% when the same question was asked in April 2022.
The awakening might indicate that fewer and ever fewer people believe the mainstream propaganda – and especially the Zelenskyy statements. The truth of who is killing whom, and the truth about the corrupt and shamefully criminal Ukraine President, is slowly but surely seeping through the veil of deception.
In the case of the attack on the railway station, there is no doubt that the assault was launched by Ukraine’s forces on her own people, killing 22 of them and injuring at least 50. The figures are not verified. They are the ones reported by the “distinguished” NYT (25 August 2022).
Similarly, The Guardian reports (29 July 2022) that according to the Russian Defense Ministry, 40 prisoners were killed and 75 wounded in the attack on the prison in the frontline town of Olenivka. The prison was struck by Ukrainian forces with US-made Himars rockets. Yet, Ukraine was blaming Russia with the attack on its own people and with US-made weapons.
It would be hard to make believe more ludicrous statements. Yet, by telling half-truth or full-lies relentlessly and repeatedly the western media (still) gets away with murder among most of its listeners. But – the Times Are a-Changing.
Russia from the beginning has followed – and keeps following – a strict policy of avoiding civilian casualties as best as possible.
These attacks on Ukraine’s own people are certainly not carried out by Russian forces, but rather by Ukrainian military, and/or their associated Nazi Azov Battalions.
They also killed without scruples tens of thousands of pro-Russian Ukrainians in the Donbass and north-eastern Ukraine areas, since the US/western instigated 2014 Maidan Coup.
No doubt, the attacks were sanctioned by Zelenskyy. He follows clear instructions from NATO and the – unelected European Council. That the EC under Ursula von der Leyen is an unelected and tyrannical executing branch of the Deep State or the Dark elitist Cult, is no longer a secret. Madame von der Leyen is a member of the WEF’s (World Economic Forum) Managing Council.
Similarly, the relentless attacks on the Zaporozhye Nuclear Power Plant in southern Ukraine, the largest in Europe, are constantly blamed on Russia, or even on President Putin personally by the western media.
Again, the contrary is true. In order to prevent another Chernobyl-type nuclear disaster (26 April 1986), or worse, Russian troops have been occupying the Zaporozhye Plant, since March 2022. They were worried, and rightly so, about a nuclear annihilation of much of western Europe and Russia. Finally, on 19 August, Russia has shut down the plant, to limit the worst of a potential disaster.
Moscow has warned that the continuing attacks could ultimately render the power plant inoperable and might even result in a major disaster, similar to Chernobyl. Kiev and some Western officials, however, have accused Russia of shelling the plant, despite the fact that it is controlled by Russia’s own troops.
As unquestioned western support is waning, western media ever so often report the Zelenskyy Government’s accusations of Russia, but finish with the paraphrased observation that “it is difficult to verify the facts” – an own skin-saving-statement.
The next Biden Administration promised shipment of war material is of the order of an estimated US$ 3 billion. Is it part of the roughly US$ 50 billion already approved US war support to Ukraine – or is it apart?
Nobody keeps track. In any case – even western media report that about 70% of the war material sent to Ukraine ends up on the black market. Only about 30% reaches the front-line – and Ukrainian soldiers who are totally unprepared to handle the sophisticated western weaponry.
It is high time that the truth comes out – and the majority of the people see beyond the propaganda, see the most flagrant war crimes committed by Zelenskyy’s Ukraine – and stop supporting this war.
The sooner the west stops sending weaponry and tanks and most sophisticated war materiel to Ukraine, the sooner Peace may return.
If only PEACE were part of the Great Reset’s Agenda – and part of the UN Agenda 2030 – and part of Klaus Schwab’s “4th Industrial Revolution” – meaning the digitization, robotization, and absolute control of everything and every surviving human being. But PEACE, as we are still thinking humans conceive of it, is not part of the Reset Agenda.
But we are many and they are few. We may replace the Reset with the Peace agenda.

Investigators found colossal assets belonging to the president of impoverished Ukraine

The Nezygar Telegram channel, which often publishes sensational information, has published information about the financial situation of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who tirelessly implores his Western partners for various kinds of material help.
As it turned out, Zelensky himself can help ordinary Ukrainians and replenish the Nezalezhnaya budget. If, for example, he transfers 1.2 billion dollars to the public treasury.
It is this amount that is in Zelensky’s account at the Costa Rican branch of Dresdner Bank Lateinamerika.
And it was accumulated, as it turned out, through monthly installments that reach the account of the President of Ukraine from three “philanthropists”: Ukrainian oligarchs Rinat Akhmetov (from First Union Bank), Viktor Pinchuk (with Deutsche Bank accounts) and, of course, Igor Kolomoisky (he prefers to send transfers from the Banque Nationale de Paris in Geneva).
The investigators managed to get acquainted not only with the timing and volume of cash receipts in the Zelensky account in Costa Rica, but also with some of the expenses of the Ukrainian president. So from his account in the United States they transferred 34 million dollars to buy a villa in Miami. British jewelry house Graff received about $80,000, which seems modest in the context of real estate spending.
The head of the Zelensky apparatus, Andriy Yermak, also has a decent amount in the same bank; the balance in his account is now $56 million. Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Yatsenyuk also keeps considerable sums there.
It also turned out that Svetlana Tikhanovskaya kept millions of dollars in the same bank. Of almost $5 million, she in December of last year transferred four and a half million from Costa Rica to another bank located in the British capital.
The researchers now intend to try to shed light on the involvement of Western governments in these transactions, which in recent years have been monitoring even penny money transfers with particular care.
Ukraine “has been bombing its own people for eight years”? Caution
3/14/2022, 10:40:44 AM
The French journalist behind a very viral video in recent days has already been criticized for her pro-Russian positions. His report takes up eteac
Russia invaded Ukraine on Thursday, February 24.Since then, the bombardments have continued unceasingly and several cities, such as Kharkiv or Kiev, have been particularly targeted by Vladimir Putin’s army.
Several publications, including a video viewed tens of thousands of times over the past few days, claim that Ukraine is behind the bombings in the separatist regions in the east of the country, targeting the Russian-speaking Ukrainian population.This is also the position of the Kremlin.
Nothing allows today to be so affirmative, explains a researcher interviewed by20 Minutes.
“The truth that Macron and the media do not tell!
An old lady from Donetsk [separatist region in eastern Ukraine] saw her neighbour’s house hit by a shell today!
And explains that Ukraine has been bombing its own people for eight years!!
This is why Russia decided to intervene.
This meaningful publication, accompanied by a video, has been shared several thousand times on social networks since its publication on March 3.
In the video, a Frenchwoman who wears a helmet marked “press” translates the words of an old lady.
“She sends the message to Macron not to support the Ukrainians, because for eight years this is what we have been experiencing.
The man present on the video, presumably the son of the old lady, assures – still according to the translation – that “in this conflict, it is the two parties who are guilty”.
“There […], it’s Ukrainian strikes.
Does a government have the right to bomb its own population?
asks the journalist for the camera.
Ukrainian strikes targeting civilians in separatist regions are precisely the accusations the Kremlin is making to justify its offensive.
On Monday, the Russian army and separatist forces announced that 16 people had been killed by a Ukrainian missile in the city of Donetsk, accusing Kiev of a “war crime”.
Elements that could not be cross-checked from a reliable source.
In the comments of the video, in any case, many Internet users identify the French media, accusing them of lying about the nature of the war raging in eastern Europe.
20 Minutes
explains why this video must be nuanced.
FAKE OFF
As
20 Minutes
was able to verify, the translation of the woman wearing the helmet is faithful.
The old lady declares, in Russian: “Tell your Macron that he supports them, the enemies.
What are they doing to us, these Ukrainians?
“Charges to be taken with great caution.
The sequence was shot “in the eastern part of Ukraine, where there are a lot of Russian or pro-Russian people.
It is in this region that Putin can find a lot of support “for his offensive, deciphers for
20 Minutes
Philippe Moreau-Defarges, researcher at Ifri (French Institute of International Relations) and author of the book
A World History of Peace
( Odile Jacob).
Like everywhere else in the country, many civilians have fled the combat zones since February 24.
“Some stayed behind to defend Ukraine, others joined pro-Russian militias,” says the researcher.
According to him, and contrary to what the journalist asserts, “there is no Ukrainian will to bombard its people”.
On the other hand, the bombardments being intensive and coming from both sides, it is impossible to formally rule out the fact that the fact that “Ukrainian strikes could have hit Ukrainians and that those of the Russians hit Russians.
In this context, it is indeed difficult to attribute the strikes, a process that requires lengthy investigations.
At this stage, international observers have not reported any Ukrainian strikes targeting separatists in the Donbass.
And the researcher concludes: “Social networks peddle
fake news.

The author of the video already known for her pro-Russian positioning
The journalist behind this video, Anne-Laure Bonnel, has been covering the conflict between Russia and Ukraine for several years.
She usually goes to the part of Ukrainian territory where the population is mainly pro-Russian.
This has several times led her to relay elements of Russian propaganda, which supports local separatists.
A bias that has also regularly been criticized.
Benoît Vitkine, correspondent for the newspaper
Le Monde
in Moscow, explains on Twitter: “I remember her 2017 film, undoubtedly sincere but dramatically naive: she was carried around in the separatist territories by… officials from these same territories.
They are the ones we heard in the film asking the witnesses questions, not the journalist.
And Benoît Vitkine adds that the elements reported in this film were subsequently denied: they were “fables concocted by Russian TV”.
“I’m not taking sides, but let’s still ask about international law, does a government have the right to bomb its own population?
“, pretends to wonder Anne-Laure Bonnel.
More recently, the journalist made a noteworthy passage on CNews, to make similar remarks, accusing Kiev of bombarding its citizens.
Accusations emanating from Vladimir Putin and his allies but not from the international community or the UN.
Anne-Laure Bonnel also benefits from the support of Moscow.
When one of his tweets was recently deleted, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov came to his defense.
“She, who went to the Donbass, published her observations […] and called on Westerners to look the truth in the face.
She did not have the right to make this publication but her comment is available on the Internet, so I invite you to read the facts.
