Outed Obama (re)outed...

---

Well well. "In response to new sanctions by the Biden administration" [Human Events] Russia has banned ex POTUS Barack Obama (among 500 Americans banned from going to Russia, LINK: AP). This is:

"On the heels of the release of the Durham Report showing Obama’s involvement in election interference and the Russian collusion hoax in 2016, Russia has banned the disgraced president from entering the country."

[@Amuse Twitter]. 

Had to laugh. The Durham report shows what we knew back in 2016 and was just part of Outgoing Obama's outrageous outrecuidance...him and Hillary were up to their eyeballs in sleaze and corruption and international and intentional murder of US citizens. As usual, Russia's official response to Biden's sanctions - although not "pretty damn sassy" like their response to Obama's lame duck shenanigans, is with more reason. Why? Because the Obama administration, Clinton and the DNC's direct involvement in Russian collusion has brought the world to the failing situation it is now in, they stole the 2020 election; if The Donald had become POTUS 46 do you really think we'd be where we are today?

Update: Always worth a read Mark Steyn told us too, also back in 2016 and reviewed last year: "As I think most persons paying attention now realize, the investigation into foreign interference with the 2016 election was created as a cover for domestic interference with the 2016 election."

Oblast...oh, blast!

See image (left). Russian control of Ukraine as of September 2022..."US officials closely watching sham referendums in Russian-occupied areas of Ukraine and preparing to act" [LINK]... 'preparing to act'? LOL. Seriously? 

The referendum on September 23-27 in the Donbass and southern Kherson and Zaporozhye regions of Ukraine on their accession to Russian Federation is, prima facie, an exercise of the right of self-determination by the native population who reject the Western-backed regime change in Kiev in 2014 and the ascendancy of extreme nationalist forces with neo-Nazi leanings in the power structure.

[LINK] ) 'MK Bhadrakumar is a former diplomat. He was India’s ambassador to Uzbekistan and Turkey. The views are personal') 

Before you condemn, remember the Kosovo precedent. This is the same, 100%. No ifs, no buts. But it's "them": the baddies, right?...and IF the votes go the Russian way (they will) any action is then not helping the poor saintly (ahem) Ukrainians but an attack on sovereign Russia:

“In the event of a threat to the territorial integrity of our country and to defend Russia and our people, we will certainly make use of all weapon systems available to us. This is not a bluff.” ['bad' Vlad]

I concur. That, the course of the war, the Ukrainian "gains", and the map above, are EXACTLY what I told my military serving number-two son - to the letter - back in end-Feb/beginning-March this year. Exactly, precisely, TO-THE-LETTER. If fat Span Ows, England-loving, loud, overweight, brash, stubborn, impatient, non-Putin-loving but also non Mr Bean Zelensky-loving average 'man-in-the-street' (general gob-shite "know-all") "knew" this back a few days into the Russian invasion, what of our political class?

Hard to compute? Just think of the bidets (wonderful spell check) Bidens and Clintons (and by extension the Obamas) as crime families: they are; Ukraine is a massive money-laundering opportunity (it is); suddenly it all makes sense. 

Literally 5 minutes 'surfing' tells you all you need to know...BUT, if you don't want to know, well... LOOK! A squirrel!

You'll never guess the last time I used that squirrel pic [OMG]. Hopefully the links all are still active: 'A Twitter fest! #MemoDay (read in full on Axios: involves FBI, DOJ, Democrat Party probably Hillary Clinton, possible Obama. Bigger than Watergate)'

 ...well, you didn't think Obama was good, in ANY way, did you? I mean...what? There is so much...and not just outside the USA. So much. 

Opus on opaque Ostpolitik...

Not looking good. John [The Slog] in outstanding form on 'Germany and the Russian Debt Bomb'. THIS is Part 2. 

The 'appetiser': "you probably failed to notice this, but Russia paid its due debt installment in full last Friday. You probably didn’t see that, because the MSM blanked it." [sic]

The entrée: "In a nutshell, driving Russia into default risks a nuclear chain reaction that is impossible to predict….and anyone telling you otherwise (eg the Pentagon) is lying." 

The conclusion: "...there is one depressing certainty in 21st century life: our economic system, US democracy, EU fiscal stability, media investigation, bureaucratic rules, banking credibility, corporate governance, NATO information, health science, civil policing, military intelligence and financial sectors are all irreparably compromised by greed, mendacity and unachievable globalist megalomania." 

I am presuming too that you have all noticed that China, India (and very early on Pakistan, "so much excitement") and now the Emirates are all overtly not-quite-cosying-up to Russia but certainly not turning them away and making gains while the EU and the UK are failing and going backwards at every level, even propaganda. 

And off topic but really very much on topic, you know what hasn't gone away:

"The choice is ours. We can either go back to sleep and follow the shiny baubles of the latest breaking news on the MSM news feeds or we can continue to focus on the creation of the biosecurity state..."

Obvious obscurantism or oligomania...

Hah! The smoking gun, the proof they've promised...and promised...and...nope...Zzzzz. "Thirteen Russians have been charged with interfering in the US 2016 election, in a major development in the FBI investigation". Yea, major development. Take that Trump; take that Conservatives; take that Righties, take that Brexit lovers! Below are screenshots from the BBC Home page and their main News page and their page of news on this story...already the bubble was popped, hours ago...but they must keep on: Nelly the elephant [in the room] packed her trunk and said goodbye to the [media] circus - Trump Trump Trump - but the BBC, CNN et al are just so fucking biased and getting more ridiculous by the day. Jon Sopel and Anthony Zurcher are beyond pathetic. Two lines you will NOT see anywhere in the BBC report:

"There’s no allegation in this indictment that any American had any knowledge."...

"There is no allegation in the indictment of any effect on the outcome of the election"

What the BBC DO report: "He also appeared to acknowledge Russian election meddling - something which he has in the past cast doubt on despite US intelligence agency assessments." They are so fucking biased that it must be intentional, editorial policy. So, you think there's anything on or against Trump? You think there's anything that hasn't gone on in every election in most countries for many decades, except for the modern technologies aspects obviously? [And certainly BY the USA in dozens of countries]. You think? Sorry, not so. This is nothing; this is ONLY about using social media to influence people.This isn't a nothing burger, it's not even the screwed-up paper wrapper of a nothing burger.




The next Trump bashing is already in the pipeline, although I'm sure it'll be the Bishops being bashed if you know, what I mean [adult content].

Outgoing Obama's outrageous outrecuidance...

O to go...

Battling for position as current number one threat to world peace? IMHO Obama must be in with a chance: just WTF is he on? Crazy lame duck domestic policies [like putting between 1.5 and 2 million MORE acres under federal control in Utah and Nevada - remember they own most of Nevada anyway and over half of Utah (expect rebellious locals NOT to be happy...again), no vote, no debate] are almost expected of this most petulant of POTUS but on Israel (no surprise?) and on Russia (sassed) he is playing a very odd and dangerous game. He is also bringing thousands more Muslims at the same time as dismantling the post 9/11 registry for Muslims.



Jan 20th can't come soon enough.



outrecuidance: n. - egomania; gross conceit (as ever, from Luciferous Logolepsy: "dragging obscure words into the light of day".



Update: "I’m a former lifelong Democrat, stating here a clear and incontestable fact: Barack Obama is a failed President." [LINK]; lots of detail.

Obtuse Obama...

"It took a while to prepare the paperwork for Obama's move. Guarantees were required that Obama would bring no pests, that Obama has no tapeworms etc." Hoho...this must be the ovine Obama...well, caprine actually [NYP]. This opening quote is from Dmitry Mezentsev who is Park Director at Primorsky Safari Park in Shkotovo Russia; they have recently received the new goat and named him Obama [NBC]. Apparently Russians use the term 'goat' as an insult to refer to someone who is obtuse or stubborn and the New York Post feels the name distasteful; they may have a point but I think I see where the zoo is coming from; Barack would seem more appropriate. Hat-tip: Weasel Zippers.

Outrecuidance over overweening octroi...

OK, a sanction isn't really an octroi but who cares. Zerohedge on the news that on Friday (if a leaked FT report is correct, and it seems to be) that the EU Europe's has upped the ante and may be crossing the Rubicon in its sanctions strategy by targeting the main Russian energy exporters. A glance at the image (left, click to enlarge) will make the craziness of this move glaringly obvious. "If today's news is confirmed, Europe's dramatic shift in sanctions strategy means that Europe's embargo of both the US Dollar and the Euro will accelerate as Russia further intensifies its shift away from both the west and the petrodollar. The only and clear winner here: China..."




Interestingly the UK isn't as secure as it looks from the image above although I will give a hypothetical prize to anyone who can guess correctly the country 2nd on the list of where we import most of our coal from...[answer in red]

Ozokerite or oozing oil...

Bloodlands...

"Amid the hysterical counter claims from the ‘interim government’ in Kiev supported by $5bn dollars of American money which chased the duly democratically elected government out of town and now condemns as ‘criminal’ the people of Eastern Ukraine holding a referendum to democratically decide their future – there is a three letter word which is conspicuous by its absence. Can you guess what it is yet?" So writes Anna Raccoon with another excellent blog-post about The bitter legacy of the Western Ukraine and a dark sticky liquid oozing out over the plains: not blood but it could be given the history of the Bloodlands.

"Oh – and the responsibility of deciding which way to send the oil oozing from the ground – east to Russia, or west to Europe?"

The comments and the links in the comments are worth a read too: The Strangelove effect with Obama seeking a greater budget for nuclear weapons than during the Cold War and the sinister expansionism of the European Council. Have we been here before? East vs. West? Hopefully not; indeed who could imagine a repeat of the Worst of the Madness in a "region that experienced the worst of both Stalin’s and Hitler’s ideological madness" and "the site of most of the politically motivated killing in Europe... ...between 1933 and 1945, fourteen million people died there, not in combat but because someone made a deliberate decision to murder them."

LOL. At the risk of sounding cynical, the UK in common with rest of EU didn't seem to mind the violent coup d'etat in Kiev (caused partly accidentally on purpose by the same EU) and how could we possible expect them to recognise a fair referendum: the UK won't let it's own people have one and the EU only accepts the results it likes.
