U.S. Expels 60 Russian Diplomats, Shutters Seattle Consulate

March 26th, 2018

60 PNGed in one shot???

Via AP:

The Trump administration expelled 60 Russian diplomats on Monday and ordered Russia’s consulate in Seattle to close, as the United States and European nations sought to jointly punish Moscow for its alleged role in poisoning an ex-spy in Britain.

Senior Trump administration officials said all 60 Russians were spies working in the U.S. under diplomatic cover, including a dozen at Russia’s mission to the United Nations. The officials said the administration was taking the action to send a message to Russia’s leaders about the “unacceptably high” number of Russian intelligence operatives in the U.S.

The expelled Russians will have seven days to leave the U.S, said the officials. They weren’t authorized to be identified by name and requested anonymity. They added that the Seattle consulate is a counter-intelligence concern because of its proximity to a U.S. Navy base.

    So much for improved relations with Russia. If Trump were playing 3D chess, as the hopeful claim, this seems an unlikely move. On the other hand, deep state bullshit emissions are beyond radioactive. if you could find the smartest, toughest man alive, and somehow make him president, I’m sure he’d disintegrate like a Fukushima robot.

    What the fuck is actually going on? I haven’t got a clue. Maybe a pole reversal really is upon us, and the predators are simply running out the clock.

    Very astute comment dale, on multiple levels. Just to second your thought on the poles, it does seem clear we are in the accelerating phase of at least a magnetic excursion, if not a full reversal. The following interview is with Robert Felix, author of Magnetic Reversals and Evolutionary Leaps. (also, Not by Fire, but by Ice):

    The interviewer Ben Davidson also does some interesting work:

    Regarding the US President, exactly—what would it take to make much of a positive difference against the noxious mix of an overarching and centuries-long Satanist bankster conspiracy, a rabid pack of psychopathic opportunists who have inserted themselves in every leverage point of the system and a general populace who has been under severe psychological attack through multiple vectors for many decades?

    Divine/alien intervention maybe.

    It’s “deja vu all over again” – the Mc Carthy era revisited. Except the stakes are higher this time.

    The Russians, after uncovering evidence, are expecting another false-flag gas attack in Syria. I guess the Poms (UK), US & Israel are trying too line up the rest of the West so they can start bombing Syrian forces for a vile gas attack. Hopefully the Russians won’t buckle – they have warned the US that in the event of strikes their carriers in the Middle East would be fair game. So, the Russians are falsely accused of all manner of things in order that the “West” has a mandate from their populations to do whatever it is they want to do to Russia. Russia & China better hang together or they’ll hang separately

    I have seen two strident theories on this:

    1. The West is priming its public for a near future war with Russia, a war the Western globalists desire as a means to coerce the world into calling for a one world government (and tolerating a ban on all the war’s ostensible causes: cash, privacy, freedom of expression, religion per se, gun ownership, the works). One is reminded of HG Wells’ 1914 novel, “The World Set Free”, in which a future nuclear war would be used as a means to shock the survivors into accepting a central, global giovernment. Bear in mind that Wells wrote this decades before the first atomic bomb was invented.

    2. Russia is behind the Muslim invasion and the entire Fabian socialist madness that facilitates it in Europe, so as to either weaken national / patriotic resolve and stoicism, as well as distract the intel agencies, in advance of a coming first strike that Russia is hellbent on unleashing as a means to eliminate the US’s military and leave Europe weak and reasdy for compromise / surrender on Russia’s terms. This is the view of J R Nyquist, who also suggests (somewhat paradoxically) the Islamic component might be an effort at sythesising a resurgence in fascism on the continent, this time providing a justification for aggressive Russian military action in Europe.

    Personally, I think both sides know war is inevitable and both are feverishing building the conflict narratives now for their domestic auidences. The Russians think the West is vile, like a Sodom redivivus, morally reprobate and worthy of being taken down. But they also believe the West means to strike at Russia; the US’s recent Nuclear Posture Review has been discussed at length on Russian TV and other media and being taken as a new and sudden, existential threat. So it looks to ordinary Russians like they are being pushed into a corner, a “use ’em or lose ’em” situation with regard to their strategic rocket forces.

    However, if you balance that against the defector literature from the 1980s (as Nyquist and other paleoconservatives do), you will see the case for Russia wanting to appear provoked into doing something it has always wanted to do anyway.

    Be that as it may, in a sea of disinformation, it’s impossible to gain perfect clarity as to true motives, so all we can do is look at trends and dynamics, and extrapolate them to their most obvious conclusions. In my view, that means all roads lead to war, very sadly.

    Thanks for those. Seems to me things have never been so murky and hard to figure out as they are now.
