Ukraine bets on information warfare
Vasily Nebenzya, Russia's Permanent Representative to the UN, told the UN General Assembly that Russia's actions in Ukraine had been misrepresented and that the Kremlin had no plans to occupy the country. But he acknowledged Ukraine's massive disinformation campaign as an obstacle.

Nebenzya alluded to the fact that the Kiev administration has been focused on information warfare and with the total support of NATO countries, Kiev has triumphed in many respects. “These successes fuel the impunity of nationalist units against civilians in the eastern regions of the country, which are being used as human shields, literally, against the advancing hostile forces,” one observer commented.
The growing general chaos and looting sown by the Ukrainian leader through his decision to arm civilians as well as criminals, is being portrayed as the result of Russian actions.
“The Russian military, in fact, continues to pursue tactics of inflicting minimal damage on civilians, which has come to be perceived as their weakness.” Social media as well as Western news outlets have been flooded with fake reports on the operation in Ukraine.
Moscow also ignored the fact that for at least eight years the inhabitants of Ukraine have been exposed to massive informational anti-Russian pressure. “It came as a surprise to the Kremlin that the billions of dollars spent by RT and talk show hosts on Russian channels yielded zero results.”
Ukraine’s entry into NATO remains Russia’s red line but thanks to a concerted disinformation assault from NATO and its members together with cyberattacks on Kremlin outlets and a ban on Russian news outlets, actions of Russia in Ukraine during the military operation are discounted.
“In recent days, the issue of Ukraine has dominated the information field and has been the focus of the UN Security Council and the General Assembly. At the same time, Russia’s actions have been twisted and distorted, flooding the media and social networks with a variety of improbable fabrications and fakes,” said Nebenzya.
According to the Russian diplomat, the root of Ukraine’s problems lies in the actions of Ukraine itself, which for many years has sabotaged its direct obligations under the Minsk package of measures. Nebenzya stated that Russia does not intend to occupy Ukraine, but wanted to stop the genocide on the people of the Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics.
“The occupation of Ukraine is not part of our plans. The goal of this special operation is to protect the people who have been mistreated and murdered by the Kiev regime for eight years. This requires the demilitarization and denazification of Ukraine.”
Nebenzya added that Russia also intended to bring to justice those who have committed crimes against civilians. With the military operation, Russia is exercising the right to self-defense against a regime that is trying to regain access to nuclear weapons.
The Permanent Representative of Russia to the UN stressed that the establishment of NATO infrastructure in Ukraine would force the Kremlin to take retaliatory measures that would bring Russia and NATO to the brink of conflict. Russia launched a pre-emptive military operation in Ukraine on February 24, 2022 in a bid to prevent a large-scale war but NATO adherents have been trying to frustrate this effort through relentless distortions.
In mid-October, 2021, Victoria Nuland, US Under Secretary of State, had traveled to Russia and, in Moscow, she threatened to crush the Russian economy and demanded the immediate resignation of President Vladimir Putin.
After Nuland’s Moscow visit, she met with Dimitro Yarosh (who in 2007 had instigated the Maidan coup) in Mariupol, Ukraine. The encounter brought together European Nazi organizations and jihadists. On this occasion, Nuland herself promoted Dimitro Yarosh as special adviser to the Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army. The Azov battalion has thus been fully incorporated into the Ukrainian army.
The Kremlin then understood right away that there was now “room for potential conflict escalation”.
The most legendary cinematic episode in this war never happened. What else are we being lied to about? What’s being hidden from us?https://t.co/Ws5cBKgiOi

NOAA Predicts Zero Sunspots for Almost the Whole 2030s
CLIMATEThe United States' government scientific organization, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), predicts zero sunspots from 2031 to 2040. This is an extreme situation that has not occurred in as long as humanity has been counting sunspots, and it leads us into uncharted territory in terms of our solar system. However, this prediction aligns with the warnings of the world-renowned solar researcher Valentina Zharkova for many years, who indicated in 2019 various signs of this catastrophic phenomenon, including the extreme hailstorms we have seen in Europe and the world this summer. The forecast and various observations this year give cause for very significant concern. In this unique analysis, Free West Media explains why.
European Nationalist Parties Forge Cooperation Ahead of EU Elections
EUROPEAN ELECTIONSOn Saturday, August 26, representatives of six European nationalist parties gathered in Budapest. The meeting was initiated by the Hungarian party Mi Hazánk and took place in the national parliament. Representatives of the parties signed a joint declaration that not only reaffirms the parties' friendship but also their unity on a range of complex political issues. A surprisingly clear and radical manifesto was established. The hope is that this cooperation will lead to success in the EU elections and eventually result in the formation of a group in the European Parliament. For Swedish nationalism, this meeting marks a success as Sweden, for the first time, has a party represented in a leading nationalist cooperation in Europe. Free West Media was present at this historic event.

Swedish Weapon Takes Down Russia’s Best Attack Helicopter
The Russian attack helicopter Ka-52 is considered one of the world's best and has struck fear in Ukraine, where it has hunted down tanks and other armored vehicles, often beyond the range of many light anti-aircraft systems. However, it has met its match in the Swedish air defense missile system RBS 70, which has quickly led to significant losses for the Russian helicopter forces.
The Sun Drives Earth’s Climate, Not Carbon Dioxide
Top Researchers Push Back Against Climate Lies."The correlation is as clear as day," explained the Israeli astrophysicist Nir Shaviv, who was hailed by the establishment, before his interview with Forbes was hastily deleted. What he says contradicts the climate narrative, which points to humans as responsible for Earth's climate. Shaviv firmly asserts that it is the sun that controls the climate, something that can be scientifically proven in many ways. Contrary to the popular belief, the sun's influence on Earth has, in recent years, caused unusually cold and rainy weather, a trend that solar researchers warn will worsen significantly in the coming decades. The sun has exhibited an unusually low activity since 2016, during Solar Cycle 24, which was the weakest in a century.
Strong Confidence in German AfD
Alternative for Germany (AfD) held a party conference on July 29-30 to select candidates for the upcoming EU election next year. EU Parliament member Maximilian Krah, belonging to the party's more radical, ethnonationalist faction, was appointed as the top candidate. The party's two spokespersons delivered powerful speeches criticizing the EU's failed migration policy and trade sanctions that isolate Europe and Germany from the rest of the world. They argued that it's time for the EU to return a significant portion of its power to national parliaments. However, they have dropped the demand for Germany to exit the EU.
The Establishment Wants to Ban Germany’s Second Largest Party – for the Sake of Democracy
The rising popularity of AfD has raised strong concerns within the establishment. Despite lies and demonization in the media and isolation from the overall political establishment, the party continues to grow. Certain representatives of the party are accused of becoming increasingly "extreme," and in an unusual move, the influential weekly newspaper Der Spiegel demanded that AfD be "banned."

Zelensky introduced a visa-free regime for foreign mercenaries who want to come to fight in Ukraine. Decree signed. Imagine a gang of narcos and outlaws from all kinds and ISIS jihadists in Ukraine with access to ATGMs and MANPADs.
What’s funny about the Javelin is that it gives its operators brain 🧠 damage — so do the SMAW / AT-4 and presumably the Stinger too, but they’re just now understanding the long term effects of blast injuries of man-portable missiles. I guess they’ll just get dumber as they go along.
BTW, how odd that the National Endowment for Democracy, #CIA front and “spyless coup” specialist, has seemingly deleted all references to its funding for organizations in Ukraine. Protecting intelligence assets on the ground? NED bankrolled 65 projects in Ukraine in years prior to Maidan coup to tune of millions. Six months before, its chief Carl Gershman dubbed Kiev the “biggest prize” in the former Soviet sphere. Nuland has been salivating at the big prize for decades.
In its information warfare and influence operations, the Ukrainians can count on the support of a host of leftist-globalist NGOs that have proliferated there over the past decade or so. Their connections with foreign “news” sites and influencers are valuable for the Ukraine government. Prominent among the NGOs are those run by a certain Hungarian-American “philanthropist” who is well-entrenched in Ukraine, and is a godfather to NGOs that promote his leftist-globalist interests around the globe.
Over the past decade or so, many influential NGOs have become established in Ukraine. Most are linked to leftist-globalist interests. It might be worth their while for investigative journalists to check out the connections such NGOs and those who work for them have with ‘information warfare’ and other influence operations.
