Father of fake “Rothschild” grifter at Mar a Lago is Ukraine born truck driver living in Illinois. His daughter, fluent in several languages, was brought to Mar a Lago in May 2021 by Elchanan Adamker

 .

“Fluent in several languages,” she “was first invited [to Mar a Lago] by Trump supporter Elchanan Adamker....It’s unclear why Yashchyshyn needed a green card if her father already lives in the US….The alleged scammer is actually the Ukrainian-born daughter of a truck driver called Oleksandr Yaschysyn, who lives in a neat-but-modest home in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.” 

8/27/22, “Trump and the NEW Inventing Anna: FBI investigating Ukrainian immigrant who posed as an heiress of the Rothschild banking dynasty, faked massive wealth and infiltrated Mar-a-Lago and the Donald’s inner circle," UK Daily Mail, N. Schwab

• “A Ukrainian woman posing as a member of the Rothschild banking dynasty successfully infiltrated Mar-a-Lago and ex-President Donald Trump’s inner circle
• The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project were out with a report Friday on 33-year-old Inna Yashchyshyn
• They report that she told Florida socialites she was heiress Anna de Rothschild, and was ‘fawned all over’ by guests at Trump’s private club.”…

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project revealed the alleged antics of the faker – whose real name is Inna Yashchyshyn – on Friday.

Yaschyshyn, 33, told Florida socialites socialites she was heiress Anna de Rothschild, and was ‘fawned all over’ by guests at Trump’s private club after bragging of her Monaco property portfolio and family vineyards, it’s claimed.

But the alleged scammer is actually the Ukrainian-born

daughter of a truck driver called Oleksandr Yaschysyn,

who lives in a neat-but-modest home in Buffalo Grove, Illinois. 

Yaschyshyn is believed to have been

taken to the club for the first time by a

Trump donor [and British banker] called Elchanan Adamker in 2021 –

and posed for a photo with the former president the very next day.

She is accused of obtaining fake IDs – including a US passport and multiple drivers’ licenses – using her fake Rothschild alter ego.

Yaschushyn faces an FBI probe over a charity she was president of called the United Hearts of Mercy. It was founded by a Florida-based Russian businessman called Valery Tarasenko in Canada in 2015, but is alleged to have been used as a front to fundraise for Russian organized crime gangs.

The FBI has photographs of Inna Yashchyshyn (left) and former President Donald Trump, Sen. Lindsey Graham and Kimberly Guilfoyle, a report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project said.

Yaschushyn is currently embroiled in a separate lawsuit with Tarasenko, whose daughter she used to babysit, and claims she has been framed by him. She has also been tied to a condo development in Canada, although further details of what cops in Quebec are investigating her for have yet to emerge.

Tarasenko says Yaschushyn cared for his children while he traveled on business, and claims she was keen to make in-roads at Mar-a-Lago to find rich benefactors. It is unclear if Tarasenko himself faces a probe.

Yaschushyn in turn claims she is the victim, and that Tarasenko set her up by producing multiple fake IDs without her knowledge.

The United Hearts of Mercy positioned itself as a nonprofit which helped impoverished children, but the FBI believes it was actually a front to funnel cash to organized crime gangs.

Payment processing firm Stripe suspended donations to the United Hearts of Mercy’s purported COVID appeal.

Emails sent by the Post-Gazette to supposed donors in Hong Kong all bounced back, suggesting those donors may never have existed….

Yashchyshyn and her infiltration into the inner circle was laid out in a report from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project. It also included photos and videos of her playing at Trump’s Palm Beach golf club

The Secret Service wouldn’t comment on whether they were investigating Yashchyshyn, nor would the FBI – but several sources said they had been questioned by FBI officials about Yashchyshyn’s behavior.

Canadian law enforcement confirmed Yashchyshyn has been the subject of a major crimes unit investigation in Quebec since February, the Post-Gazette reported.

The United Hearts of Mercy was founded in Canada by Tarasenko, although it’s still unclear whether Yaschyshyn is being probed there over that nonprofit. She was also linked to a condo development in the country.

Yashchyshyn started showing up at Mar-a-Lago last spring [2021]. The Post-Gazette reported she was first invited by Trump supporter Elchanan Adamker, who runs a financial services firm, to Mar-a-Lago for the first time in May 2021.

Yashchyshyn started showing up at Mar-a-Lago last spring [2021], with guest John LeFevre, a former investment banker, recalling meeting her by the club’s pool on May 1, 2021 after she arrived driving a Mercedes-Benz SUV

‘It wasn’t just dropping the family name. She talked about vineyards and family estates and growing up in Monaco,’ recalled LeFevre. ‘It was a near-perfect ruse and she played the part.’

He added that ‘everyone was eating it up’ and Mar-a-Lago members ‘fawned all over her and because of the Rothschild mystique, they never probed and instead tiptoed around her with kid gloves .’

By the next day, Yashchyshyn was rubbing shoulders with Trump and Sen. Lindsey Graham at the president’s nearby West Palm Beach golf club.

The report included photographs of Yashchyshyn, Trump and Graham, as well as her in a group shot with Donald Trump Jr.’s fiancee Kimberly Guilfoyle. 

The Post-Gazette also shared images of Yashchyshyn’s various IDS – passports from the U.S. and Canada, along with a Florida driver’s license, in which she uses the Rothschild name – as well as Ukrainian and Russian passports where she goes by Inna Yashchyshyn and Anna Anisimova, respectively.

Video from the day she met with Trump proves the ruse was in play, as a man notes, ‘Anna, you’re a Rothschild.’

‘You can afford a million dollars for a picture with you and Trump. I’ll tell you want. If you make the next shot, and you hit that cart all the way down there on the left, I’ll give it to you for half a million,’ he says while she hits golf balls.

When speaking to the Post-Gazette, however, she said, ‘I think there is some misunderstanding.’

Yashchyshyn said any passports or driver’s licenses using the Rothschild name had been fabricated by her former business partner, 44-year-old Valeriy Tarasenko.

Yashchyshyn started showing up at Mar-a-Lago in May of last year where ‘she talked about vineyards and family estates and growing up in Monaco,’ on prominent guest said….

The various IDs have been turned over to the FBI, the Post-Gazette said. 

Yashchyshyn also said she was speaking to the FBI on August 19.

The Florida driver’s license shows an address for a mansion where Yashchyshyn never resided.

Adding another layer of complexity, she and Tarasenko are in a legal dispute, with him accusing her of being a grifter who took advantage of older men and was abusive toward his daughter – a claim she denies. 

She claimed in court that Tarasenko was a violent criminal who previously held her hostage. 

Both had connections to a fraudulent charity, the paper found.

Their legal battle is shedding more light on any investigation into Yashchyshyn.

Tarasenko told the Post-Gazette he’s met twice with the FBI to discuss Yashchyshyn’s trips to Mar-a-Lago.

In court documents Tarasenko said that Yashchyshyn used ‘her fake identity as Anna de Rothschild to gain access to and build relationships with U.S. politician[s], including but not limited to Donald Trump, Lindsey Graham, and Eric Greitens.’ 

Greitens, the disgraced former governor of Missouri, recently lost a Republican primary race to the state’s open Senate seat. 

Greitens held a fundraiser at a mansion nearby Mar-a-Lago, owned by Trump, where Yashchyshyn was also invited, the Post-Gazette said.

LeFevre also recalled Yashchyshyn hanging out with Guilfoyle and several other Trump donors after driving people back to Mar-a-Lago from the golf fundraiser where she met Trump and Graham.

‘We hung out at the pool, like, three or four hours, just drinking rosé and having a great time,’ LeFevre said.

Yashchyshyn’s ex-husband, 48-year-old Russian-born U.S. citizen, Sergey Golubev, also said he had spoken to the FBI.

He said he wed Yashchyshyn in 2011 so she could obtain U.S. residency, and subsequently divorced in 2016. 

DailyMail.com has contacted him for further comment.

It’s unclear why Yashchyshyn needed a green card

if her father already lives in the US.  

He told the Post-Gazette that the agents were looking for her in connection with something ‘illegal – cheating people and stealing money,’ Golubev alleged.

Eventually members of Trump’s inner circle were informed Yashchyshyn was a fraud by Dean Lawrence, a Florida-based music creative director.

He had met Yashchyshyn in her role as president of the Rothschild Media Label, which was promoting her business partner Tarasenko’s teenage daughter whose stage name is ‘Sofiya Rothschild.’

In pictures, ‘Sofiya Rothschild,’ never shows her face.  It appears that Lawrence realized Yaschyshyn was a fraud while dealing with her, and busted her to Mar-a-Lago members, who quickly closed ranks.

‘I want to clear something up with you. I want you to know that she has nothing to do with the Rothschilds. Don’t get involved in any kind of business with her,’ he told the Post-Gazette he informed Trump campaign donor Richard Kofoed and Trump campaign official Caroline Wren. 

Lawrence said of Kofoed ‘his eyes were wide open.’

‘He said to me, “That’s exactly who I met. She came to my house,”‘ Lawrence recalled. 

Wren ‘created a group chat’ to warn others about the imposter.

‘What I’m trying to understand is how did they allow this?’ Lawrence said. ‘How could someone keep coming back – at that level? This is Mar-a-Lago.'”  (Images from Daily Mail)

Robert Kagan admits main purpose of endless foreign wars is to keep Americans in line. Without global hegemony, US would lack ability to enforce its version of liberal democracy at home-Alastair Crooke, 3/15/2021

 .

“Continued ‘westification’ of the globe-the principal component to ‘old’ liberal globalism- though tarnished and largely discredited, remains mandatory, as made clear in the cogent reasoning recently advanced by Robert Kagan: Absent the justifying myth of ‘seeding democracy across the world’ around which to organise the empire, the moral logic of the entire enterprise begins to fall apart,

 

 

 

 

 

 

[Image, Robert Kagan, 3/25/2019, You Tube]

Kagan argued (with surprising frankness). He thus asserts

that the U.S. empire abroad is required –

precisely in order

to preserve the myth of ‘democracy’

at home.

An America that retreats from global hegemony, he argues,

would no longer possess the cohesive binding

to preserve America as liberal democracy, at home either."...[March/April 2021, “A Superpower, Like It or Not. Why Americans Must Accept Their Global Role,” Foreign Affairs, by Robert Kagan]

……………………….

March 15, 2021, “Leviathan Mobilises for Decisive Battle,” Alastair Crooke, Strategic Culture

“Globalist forces are being mobilised to win a last battle in the ‘long-war’ – looking to break-through everywhere.

In The Revolt of the Public, Martin Gurri, a former CIA analyst, contends that western élites are experiencing

a collapse of authority deriving from

a failure to distinguish between legitimate criticism and –

what he terms – illegitimate rebellion.

Once control over the justifying myth of America was lost,

the mask was off.

And the disparity between the myth and public experience of it became only too evident.

Writing in 2014, Gurri foresaw that

the Establishment would respond by

denouncing all evidence of public discontent,

as lies and disinformation.

The Establishment would, in Gurri’s telling, be so constrained within their ‘bubble’ that they would be

unable to assimilate their loss of monopoly

over their own confected ‘reality’. This Establishment denial would be made manifest, he argued, in a delusional,

ham-fisted authoritarian manner.

His predictions have been vindicated with Trumpist dissidence denounced as

a threat to ‘our democracy’ –

amidst a media and social platform crackdown.

Such a response would only confirm the suspicions of the public,

thus setting off a vicious circle

of yet more “distrust and loss of legitimacy”, Gurri concluded.

This was Gurri’s main thrust. The book’s striking feature however, was how it seemed so completely to nail the coming Trump and Brexit era – and

the ‘anti-system’ impulse behind them.

In America, this impulse found Trump--

not the other way around.

The point here essentially being that America no longer saw Red and Blue as the two extended wings belonging to the bird of liberal democracy. For something around half of America, the ‘system’ was rigged towards a profiteering 0.1%, and against them.

The key point here surely is whether the élites’ Great Re-set –

to reinvent themselves

as leaders of the ‘re-vamped’ values of liberalism,

overlayered by a newly up-dated, AI and robot-led, post-modernity –

is destined to succeed, or not.

Continued ‘westification’ of the globe – the principal component to ‘old’ liberal globalism – though tarnished and largely discredited,

remains mandatory, as made clear in the cogent reasoning

recently advanced by Robert Kagan:

Absent the justifying myth of

‘seeding democracy across the world’

around which to organise the empire,

the moral logic of the entire enterprise begins to fall apart,

Kagan argued (with surprising frankness).

He thus asserts that the

U.S. empire abroad is required –

precisely in order to preserve the myth of ‘democracy’ at home.

An America that retreats from global hegemony, he argues,

would no longer possess the cohesive binding

to preserve America as liberal democracy,

at home either….

What is happening today in the U.S. is but one ‘battle’ (albeit a key one)

in a longer strategic war, reaching far back….

What sets the current Great Re-set apart however, is that it is a later,

more updated, version of Western values —

not the same Western values as they were yesterday.

The reek of colonialism has been exorcised from the imperial project through 

the launch of

war on ‘white supremacy’ and on racial and social injustice.

Global leadership has been recast as

‘saving the planet’ from climate change;

saving all humanity from the pandemic;

and safeguarding us all from a coming global financial crisis.

Mothers’ milk. Who would resist such a well-intentioned agenda?

The current Great Re-set is a process of metamorphosis – a change in Western values, and paradigm. As Professor Dugin writes: “And this is important —

it is a double-process to update the West itself – and [at the same time],

to project an updated version to the world beyond.

This is a kind of postmodern combination of the Western and the Modern”.

But its essence…always has been the world order, [so-called] open society

focus on dis-embedding humans

from all forms of collective identity.

Firstly, to dis-embed Renaissance Man from his notion of being a microcosm interpenetrating within a vast surrounding, living macrocosm (this aim being largely achieved via the advent of empirical Scientism); then the de-coupling from Latin Catholicism (via Protestant individualism);

and lately,

liberation from the secular nation-state (through globalism).

And finally, we reach the shedding ‘late-stage’-the severance from all collective identities and histories,

including ethnicity and gender 

(both now to be self-defined).

It is the passage to a new kind of liberalism, one that

sweeps gender and identity into full, liquid fluidity.

This latter aspect is not some secondary ‘accessory’ or add on – it is ‘something’ essentially

embedded within in the logic of liberalism. The logic is inescapable.

And the ultimate logical end to which it leads? Well,

to the dis-embedding of the subjective self into trans-humanism. (But let’s not go there; it is dark-

i.e. being human is to impose the subjective on the objective – “We need

to liberate the objects from the subjects, 

from humanity,

and explore the things as they are –

without man,

without being a tool

of man”).

And here, Gurri’s insight is salient:

The plan is out of control, and becoming progressively more bizarre.

The American unipolar moment is ‘done’. It has created oppositions of various kinds, both abroad and at home. Conservative and traditional impulses have reacted against the

radical ideological agenda, and

crucially, the 2008 Financial Crisis and near collapse of the system 

foretold to the élites of the

ultimate coming end to the U.S.’ financial hegemony,

and concomitantly to America’s primacy.

It forced a critical juncture.

Now they are at a crucial impasse. When they speak about Re-set,

this means a forced return to the continuation of the agenda.

But it is not as straight-forward as it seems. Everything seemed almost primed to fall into place twenty years ago;

yet now, the Establishment is having to fight for every element of this strategy 

because everywhere they encounter a growing resistance.

And it is no insignificant resistance. In America alone, some 74 million Americans reject 

the cultural war being waged on them….

If asked why Western culture has been trapped in an oscillating dynamic between liberalism and nihilistic radicalism for roughly two centuries

with no end in sight,

Dostoevsky would probably answer that it is

because of our dis-embedding from the deeper levels

of what it means to be human.

This loss inevitably creates pathologies. (Carl Jung came to the same view).

So will the Re-set be realised?

The élites still cling to westernisation (‘America is back’ – although no-one is greatly enthused). The obstacles are many and growing….Who is in charge of foreign policy? It is opaque….also, for the first time, the U.S. and EU are increasingly seen abroad to be inept at managing the most simple of affairs.

Nonetheless, the globalist call to arms is evident. The world clearly has changed during the last four years.

Globalist forces, therefore, are being mobilised to win

a last battle in the ‘long-war’ – looking to break-through everywhere.

Defeating Trump is the first goal. Discrediting all varieties of European populism is another. The U.S. [seeks] to lead the maritime and rim-land powers in

imposing a searing psychological, technological and economic defeat

on the Russia-China-Iran alliance. In the past, the outcome might have been predictable.

This time Eurasia may very well stand solid against a weakened Oceana (and a faint-hearted Europe).  

[“Oceania has traditionally been divided into four parts: Australasia (Australia and New Zealand), Melanesia, Micronesia, and Polynesia.”]

It would shake Leviathan [US Empire] to its foundations. Who knows

what might then emerge from

the ruins of post-modernity.”

………………………………………………

Added: Definition of “post-modernity:”

“Postmodernism, also spelled post-modernism, in Western philosophy, a late 20th-century movement characterized by broad skepticism, subjectivism, or relativism; a general suspicion of reason; and an acute sensitivity to the role of ideology in asserting and maintaining political and economic power….

Postmodernism is largely a reaction against the intellectual assumptions and values of the modern period in the history of Western philosophy (roughly, the 17th through the 19th century). Indeed, many of the doctrines characteristically associated with postmodernism can fairly be described as the straightforward denial of general philosophical viewpoints that were taken for granted during the 18th-century Enlightenment, though they were not unique to that period.

The most important of these viewpoints are the following.

1. There is an objective natural reality, a reality whose existence and properties are logically independent of human beings—of their minds, their societies, their social practices, or their investigative techniques.  

Postmodernists dismiss this idea  

as a kind of naive realism. Such reality as there is, according to postmodernists, is a conceptual construct, an artifact of scientific practice and language. This point also applies to the investigation of past events by historians and to the description of social institutions, structures, or practices by social scientists.

2. The descriptive and explanatory statements of scientists and historians can, in principle, be objectively true or false. The postmodern denial of this viewpoint—which follows from the  

rejection of an objective natural reality—is sometimes expressed by saying that there is no such thing as Truth.

3. Through the use of reason and logic, and with the more specialized tools provided by science and technology, human beings are likely to change themselves and their societies for the better. 

It is reasonable to expect that future societies will be more humane, more just, more enlightened, and more prosperous than they are now. 

Postmodernists deny this Enlightenment faith in science and technology as instruments of human progress.”…

Trump-endorsed Democrat Rep. Carolyn Maloney is defeated though she quickly rejected Trump’s “laughable” endorsement, now a permanent part of the last days of her 30 yr career in House of Representatives-Patch.com

 .

“Flashpoints included…an “endorsement” of [Rep. Carolyn] Maloney by former President Donald Trump” which she quickly rejected.…“This is laughable and I reject any endorsement from Donald Trump,” Maloney’s loss means the end of her 30-year career in the US House of Representatives.

Aug. 23, 2022, “UES-UWS Congressional Results: Jerry Nadler Defeats Maloney, Patel,” Patch.com, Nick Garber, Upper East Side, NY, NY

…….

“Jerry Nadler has defeated Carolyn Maloney and Suraj Patel in the 12th Congressional District primary, according to an AP projection.”

……..

“Jerry Nadler defeated his colleague Carolyn Maloney and challenger Suraj Patel to win the hard-fought primary race covering Manhattan’s Upper West Side, Upper East Side, and Midtown, according to projections by NY1 and the Associated Press.

……

The TV network called the 12th Congressional District race for Nadler shortly before 9:30 p.m., signaling an end to Maloney’s 30-year career in Washington and promising to further extend Nadler’s equally lengthy tenure.

………

12th Congressional District results

Results as of 9:30 p.m. (64.64% of scanners reporting):

• Carolyn B. Maloney: 25.13% (13,694 votes)
• Ashmi Sheth: 1.05% (573 votes)
• Jerrold L. Nadler: 55.84% (30,429 votes)
• Suraj Patel: 17.82% (9,711 votes)

The AP called Nadler’s victory at 9:38 p.m.

Thousands of votes had yet to be counted Tuesday evening, though the preliminary count included absentee votes.

Background

The primary was an unexpected result of the chaotic redistricting process, which ended with a court-ordered redrawing that merged both sides of Manhattan into a single district for the first time in recent memory.

That forced Nadler and Maloney — veteran lawmakers who both chair powerful congressional committees — into a primary against each other. They were joined by Patel, an attorney who had previously challenged Maloney twice in her old East Side-based district, and was gunning for a third campaign against her.

Initially a collegial affair, the race has turned hostile in recent weeks, with Maloney amplifying a claim that Nadler is “senile” and Patel knocking the incumbents — who are both in their mid-seventies — for being out of touch.

………

Policy-wise, Patch’s interviews with all three candidates revealed some substantial differences on issues like real estate development and the future of Midtown.

Maloney, in office since 1993, was initially seen as a possible favorite in the race, since the new 12th District includes much of her former territory in Midtown and the East Side.

But Nadler, an Upper West Sider who took office in 1992, appeared to gain momentum down the stretch,

especially after winning an endorsement

from the New York Times editorial board —

which noted Maloney’s prior skepticism toward vaccines and her votes for the Patriot Act and the Iraq War. (Nadler voted against both.)

Other flashpoints included the revelation that Maloney had loaned her campaign nearly $1 million of her own money, and

an “endorsement” of Maloney by former President Donald Trump.

Besides the 12th Congressional District race, other elections happening across Manhattan on Tuesday included the crowded 10th Congressional District race in Lower Manhattan and Brooklyn, and a number of State Senate primaries — including on the Upper West Side and in Harlem.

This was the second primary election that Manhattanites have voted in this summer — a result of New York’s chaotic redistricting process, in which a judge delayed primaries for State Senate and Congress after ordering that district maps be redrawn.

In the previous primary, on June 28, the Upper East Side nominated Alex Bores to succeed retiring Assemblymember Dan Quart, and Hell’s Kitchen picked Tony Simone to replace 50-year incumbent Dick Gottfried. Other Manhattan incumbents including Linda Rosenthal, Rebecca Seawright, Eddie Gibbs and Danny O’Donnell were all either renominated or ran unopposed.”

Added: 5 days before election day, “former President Donald Trump unexpectedly added his voice to the District 12 congressional race by endorsing Rep. Carolyn Maloney” which Ms. Maloney rejected. “This is laughable and I reject any endorsement from Donald Trump,” Rep. Maloney said.

Aug. 18, 2022, “Trump Makes Endorsement In UWS/UES Congress Race: Maloney Rejects," Patch.com, Gus Saltonstall, Upper West Side, NY, NY

“Former President Donald Trump unexpectedly added his voice to the District 12 congressional race by endorsing Rep. Carolyn Maloney.”

“In an unexpected move, former President Donald Trump thrust himself into the District 12 congressional race by endorsing Rep. Carolyn Maloney on Wednesday.

Maloney, a longtime Democratic representative and the chair of the Congressional Oversight Committee, quickly rejected the endorsement, saying that it was a “laughable” move by the 45th President of the United States.

Trump endorsed Maloney over the other longtime Democratic representative in the District 12 race, Jerry Nadler.

Here’s what Trump wrote on the social media website Truth Social about Maloney and Nadler.

“On the other hand, Jerry Nadler is likewise a hard driving man of the people, whose energy and attention to detail is unlike anyone else in Congress,” Trump wrote. “He is high energy sharp, quick-witted, and bright.”

“You can’t go wrong with either, but Carolyn Maloney is the better man. She will lead our country into a very GREEN and prosperous future. Carolyn has my complete and total endorsement, she will never let our Conservative Movement down,” he added. “A vote for Carolyn Maloney in NY-12 is a vote for the future!”

“She is a kind and wonderful person, who has always said terrific things about me, and will support me no matter what I do, just as I supported her very early on.

She begged for a check with no quid pro quote, and I gave it to her.”

Multiple lines within Trump’s endorsement, such as “she will never let our Conservative Movement down,” or “who has always said terrific things about me,” — makes it unclear what level of sarcasm was intended by the former president’s posts [or if the lines were a lack of clarity about reality].

Maloney has a well documented history of not saying terrific things about Trump.

Irrelevant of the sincerity of the endorsement made by Trump, Maloney was quick to reject it.

“This is laughable and I reject any endorsement from Donald Trump,” Maloney wrote on Twitter. “Trump doesn’t respect women. He instigated the attacks on January 6th and claimed that the 2020 election was a big lie.”

“He should be more concerned about the investigation I’m leading as Chair of the Oversight Committee into the storage of his classified documents at Mar-a-Lao,” she added. “Thanks, but no thanks. I’ll pass.”

Trump also endorsed Dan Goldman in New York’s District 10 race.”

“As a Brit, I’ve been watching the “Special Relationship” go from bad to much, much worse for decades, really since Iraq. The current regime is railroading the country into a neofeudal hellhole of Brexit, Covid, Ukraine and Tory corruption. There is no functional Opposition.

What truly frightens me is that UK, a prime instigator in Ukraine Nazism since 2014, could “win” in some way. It would accelerate the power dive into the US economic cesspit. It would encourage a British regime with no standards, no unions, no security, no health, no prosperity. So let’s have defeat.

Let’s have a great reset that takes us back to a representative parliamentary democracy that actually thinks of the public from time to time.

Those weapons were not sent to win any war. It’s not possible, not even with 300 himars. Most weapons sent are purely for terrorism, all sent these days have no other usage (don’t look only at US, Macaron has sent banned mines too). And they use them, frequently shooting at apartments and houses, including from himars.

According to Russian MoD message from today, Ukr are using chemical weapons now. Botulinum toxin and another chemical I’ve never heard before. They notified OPCW, which will surely ignore everything.

I am WASP USA-ian as can be, born and raised here and noplace else I plan to call home, and I just want to agree; I’ve been waiting 40 years now for this, win or lose, just to get rid of these economic and “national security” parasites we’ve been infested with. Our doctors make us sick, and our military makes our lives precarious, our media make us uninformed, our jobs make us poor, our insurance bankrupts us, our food leaves us mal-nourished,

our goverment want to govern everywhere except here, and badly. It just goes on and on.

“The U.S. is exceptional. All other countries have to fight the wars they can afford

but the U.S.

can fight multiple wars it cannot afford

without consequence

due to the

exorbitant benefit of the world reserve currency.

The ability to print limitless monopoly money and export the inflation to the rest of the world is, exceptional.

This fraudulent financialization is the foundation of U.S. power.

The purpose of war for every country except the U.S. is to win

or the consequences are dire for the loser.

The purpose of war for the U.S.

is NOT to win

but instead have a long protracted conflict, the resolution of which is irrelevant.

Win or lose the purpose of war for the U.S. is the exponential creation of debt

without which the debt based financial system would collapse, the very system that is the power of the U.S. empire. This is exceptional.

As I mentioned earlier the consequences of losing a war is dire for the defeated but

the U.S. has made sport of losing wars.

No country in history has lost more wars than the U.S. and yet

in no way is the U.S. diminished in it’s ability to wage war,

never lost territory or sustain damage. This is exceptional.

This debt based system is ending and with it, U.S. exceptionalism

but until then this is the most dangerous time in history for Russia, China and Iran and they know it.

“Whoever controls the media controls the people. There can be no overthrow of government or revolution of any sort without taking control of or destroying the influence of mass media.

Western media is controlled by US and UK deep states.

About all that can be done is sit back and enjoy the cruise on the Titanic, perhaps get a lifeboat ready for family.

“US citizens have no way to influence US government decisions and therefore bear no responsibility. Democracy is defined as governance by the people,

but there are no mechanisms to facilitate that,

in these days of rampant communications.

Can you imagine a referendum

allowed to the people to vote on endless war?. . .never happen.

“The Ukraine proxy war is a money laundering operation for Western oligarchs and US political dynasty families. The propaganda that Ukraine is winning is

aimed at the American public

so they don’t demand to stop throwing good money after bad. The role of Western media is to keep gravy train flowing.

You could not have put it together any better.

If the West wins, everybody will lose. The psychopathy of Western leadership is nearing perfection.

Nothing is done for the benefit of people.

Russia mod in their Georgia biolab briefing said the building in Tbilisi said there were four floors were only US personnel were allowed. I believe that was similar for some areas in the Ukraine labs. Even here in Australia at pine gap there is a section US only. All vassals have handed sovereignty to the US.

…Not that Australia had any anyway, head of state being a hereditary foreign monarch but now that is shared by the US. As for the non anglo states that have accepted this .. pure subversion–working in the interests of a foreign power.

US and UK very much like cancer.
