🚨SATURDAY’S GOING UNDERGROUND: Negotiations to end the Russia🇷🇺-NATO proxy war in Ukraine🇺🇦 seem stuck, Europe is also stuck in its delusions and hysteria -Why are Western European leaders comically insisting that Russia will attack NATO next? -Why is Europe incapable of playing a constructive role to end the proxy war? -What now for Western Europe as their leaders become ever more unpopular? We’ll discuss all this and more with @lieven_anatol of the Quincy Institute Don’t miss it, follow our Rumble channel, link below in the replies👇
🚨Europe can’t offer concessions to Russia🇷🇺 to facilitate a peace agreement with Ukraine🇺🇦 without looking STUPID ‘Most unfortunately, at present, on the territorial issue and security guarantees for Ukraine, the two sides are too far apart to reach an agreement. That’s why I say that if the Europeans really wanted to try and play a positive role, they would, for example, offer to lift or suspend sanctions against Russia in return for Russia dropping the territorial demand. They would agree to start buying Russian energy again, which is very much in their own interest. But after four years of demonising Russia, claiming that Russia’s ambitions extend to conquering Paris and London, it would be very difficult for them to do that without obviously looking pretty stupid.’ -Prof. Anatol Lieven, Director of the Eurasia Program at the Quincy Institute, joins us for Saturday’s Going Underground Don’t miss it, follow our Rumble channel, link below in the replies 👇 @lieven_anatol

Legendary African American singer, songwriter, and civil rights activist Nina Simone was born on this day in 1933. She called Malcolm X ‘the most important spokesman ever for black people in the United States.’
In 1960, Malcolm X met with Cuban revolutionary Fidel Castro in Harlem, New York. During their conversation, Malcolm X told Fidel 'as long as Uncle Sam is against you, you know you’re a good man.' Malcolm X was assassinated on this day in 1960.

"If you stick a knife in my back 9 inches and pull it out 6 inches, that's not progress. If you pull it all the way out, that's not progress. Progress is healing the wound that the blow made. They haven't pulled the knife out; they won't even admit that it's there." -Malcolm X, assassinated on this day in 1965

Malcolm X assassinated on this day in 1965: After visiting Gaza, Malcolm X wrote the essay ‘Zionist Logic’ "In short the Zionist argument to justify Israel's present occupation of Arab Palestine has no intelligent or legal basis in history...not even in their own religion." This was his conclusion. Here are important excerpts from the rest of the essay: "The Israeli Zionists are convinced they have successfully camouflaged their new kind of colonialism. Their colonialism appears to be more benevolent, more philanthropic, a system with which they rule simply by getting their potential victims to accept their friendly offers of economic aid, and other tempting gifts, that they dangle in front of the newly-independent African nations, whose economies are experiencing great difficulties." "Did the Zionists have the legal or moral right to invade Arab Palestine, uproot its Arab citizens from their homes and seize all Arab property for themselves just based on the 'religious' claim that their forefathers lived there thousands of years ago? Only a thousand years ago the Moors lived in Spain. Would this give the Moors of today the legal and moral right to invade the Iberian Peninsula, drive out its Spanish citizens, and then set up a new Moroccan nation...as the European Zionists have done to our Arab brothers and sisters in Palestine?" "The modern 20th century weapon of neo-imperialism is 'dollarism.’ The Zionists have mastered the science of dollarism: the ability to come posing as a friend and benefactor, bearing gifts and all other forms of economic aid and offers of technical assistance. Thus, the power and influence of Zionist Israel in many of the newly 'independent' African nations has fast-become even more unshakeable than that of the 18th century European colonialists...and this new kind of Zionist colonialism differs only in form and method, but never in motive or objective."

African American revolutionary Malcolm X was assassinated on this day in 1965. Here’s Malcolm on whether he fears being assassinated: ‘No I don’t. I’m a man who believes that I died 20 years ago. I live like a man who is dead already. I have no fear whatsoever of anybody, or anything.’ •Malcolm X was under constant surveillance by the FBI. •He was also monitored by the NYPD’s Bureau of Special Services •The FBI ran COINTELPRO, a program designed to disrupt Black nationalist groups and civil rights organisations. •The FBI had informants inside the Nation of Islam and there is documented evidence of efforts to create divisions and paranoia within Black political movements. Several members of Malcolm X’s family believe that the US government was involved in his assassination, or at least covered it up. Evidence was withheld in the original trial, and two of the men convicted of the murder of Malcolm X were later exonerated. The US government had every motive to kill Malcom X, and ensure that one of the greatest black revolutionary voices in the history of the US was silenced.

🚨SIR KEIR STARMER'S🇬🇧 ENDGAME IS WAR WITH RUSSIA🇷🇺 'They’ve shut the last steel works in the UK that can make weapons-grade steel. And they’re now telling us that we’re going to be at war with Russia within the next five years. Well, if they’re still in power, I think we probably will be. It is what their endgame is, and it is really to cover up for the lies that have been told to the people in Europe. It’s because of the crimes that are being committed against them and the money that’s been stolen from them, a lot of it laundered through Ukraine. And what we’re also seeing around the way is that half of the personal weapons sent by the West to support our great allies in Ukraine have been sold onto the black market, which has drastically dropped the cost of illegal weapons all around the world. And a lot of them are filtering back into the wrong hands in the UK now.' -Former British MP Andrew Bridgen on @GUnderground_TV @ABridgen
🇬🇧🇷🇺 Prof. Anatol Lieven: Sir Keir Starmer’s hawkishness against Russia ‘a way of clinging on to the TATTERED REMNANTS of his domestic prestige!’ ‘The one area where Starmer retains some public respect and support has been his stance on foreign policy in Russia. Because the British media, who are by now extraordinarily subservient to the security services, actually do agree with Starmer and support him. So I fear that this is actually a way of trying to cling to, as you say, the tattered remnants of his domestic prestige.’ -@lieven_anatol of the Quincy Institute on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

Disgraced former British🇬🇧 Prime Minister Boris Johnson calls for UK troops to be sent to Ukraine🇺🇦 immediately, saying he can’t see any logical reason as to why British troops should not be deployed. Not starting World War 3 is a logical reason Boris can’t quite see. The entire British establishment is plagued with dangerous delusion and stupidity.
🚨Prof. Anatol Lieven: Western European publics are DISGUSTED by the manifest HYPOCRISIES of their elites! Starting of course with the financial crisis in 2008 or possibly even starting with the Iraq war, the existing elites, the economic elites, the security elites, have to a great extent created a series of disasters which has discredited them in the eyes of the population and discredited the existing establishments. So there is just a general loss of faith in the existing ruling European establishments and of course also because of the manifest hypocrisies and the pretty shameful open lying above all, I would say, over Gaza… There’s just a mood of kind of a mixture of weariness and disgust, I would say.’ -@lieven_anatol on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

Prof. Jeffrey Sachs’ message to Europe🇪🇺: ‘You’re going to be living with Russia🇷🇺 for a long time, so please negotiate with Russia. Trump and President Putin will agree to end the war, if Europe does all its great warmongering, it doesn’t matter.’
Prof. Anatol Lieven: Europe🇪🇺 cannot seek compromise peace with Russia🇷🇺 because it has TRAPPED ITSELF with its own rhetoric! ‘Trump has come to power and that has left the Europeans in a very uncomfortable position. They have committed themselves, in theory, verbally, completely to Ukraine. But of course, when they did that, it was in the conviction that they had the complete support of the United States. Now they no longer do. Now, of course, under Trump, the US is basically telling them that, over time, but possibly not a very long time, they will have to take the chief responsibility for their own defence and for paying for their own defence, which they have, once again verbally agreed to. But of course, every budget in Europe is under intense pressure, from the effort to maintain social services amidst economic stagnation. And where the money is going to come from, where the money is going to come from for Ukraine if this war goes on for another year, is very unclear. But they seem to have trapped themselves, through their language in a situation where they cannot now back down and seek a genuine compromise peace.’ -@lieven_anatol of the Quincy Institute on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

Vladimir Putin🇷🇺 on the claim Russia will attack NATO: ‘What kind of NONSENSE is this? Everyone understands this is nonsense. They deceive their population in order to ensure that money is squeezed out of the budget…and they explain their economic and social failures by this.’
🇷🇺🇪🇺Prof. Anatol Lieven: ’Western European leaders are DELIBERATELY LYING to their populations about an imminent Russian threat against NATO’ ‘Some of them are deliberately lying. Many of them are lying to themselves…the politicians, take our own beloved Starmer, know absolutely nothing of military affairs, virtually nothing of international affairs, certainly nothing of Russia. And so they believe whatever the generals and admirals tell them. There is this belief that Europe needs to increase its defences, especially with America now looking more and more unreliable. But how do you persuade electorates to accept much higher military spending when every budget in Europe is under intense pressure and the economies are stagnant? It seems a lot of people think the only way is to terrify the public, to convince them that the Russian bear is coming to eat their children. But I’m not sure this is really working. There is a sense among Western European publics that this is vastly exaggerated.’ -@lieven_anatol of the Quincy Institute on the latest episode of Going Underground FULL INTERVIEW BELOW IN THE REPLIES👇

Schrödinger’s Russia🇷🇺: Western European leaders comically present Russia as having suffered defeat in Ukraine, with its army decimated and its navy degraded… And yet tell their populations that Russia is so strong and powerful that it is about to launch an attack on NATO, and for some reason, attack Arctic NATO territory. The narrative changes on a daily basis to support their lies.
🚨Prof. Anatol Lieven: NATO claims about Russia🇷🇺 threatening the Arctic are ‘UNBELIEVABLE, MENDACIOUS NONSENSE’ There is no imminent threat. This idea that the Russians are going to invade Svalbard, or somehow threaten to occupy Greenland is such unbelievable nonsense. No Russian is talking about that. What could they possibly gain? Some of the military experts in Britain, on the one hand, say that the Russian army is so weak and so demoralised and the Russian fleet has been defeated by the Ukrainians… And they say Russia is so weak that if we only give some more support for the Ukrainians and reject peace and carry on, Russia will collapse. On the other hand, Russia is so strong and the Russian navy is so strong that it can attack Norway and occupy Svalbard and threaten Britain. It’s very difficult to see that combination as anything other than deliberately mendacious.’ -@lieven_anatol of the Quincy Institute on the latest episode of Going Underground Watch the full interview in the quoted post, or watch it on Rumble, link below in the replies👇

‘IT WOULD BE FINE IF THEY TOOK IT ALL’ US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee tells Tucker Carlson he has no objections to Israel taking over most of the Middle East, from the Euphrates to the Nile. First they came for the Palestinians, now everyone else is next. The US and Israel have shown in their official positions long ago that they don’t care for international law, and now they use religious fanaticism to justify even attacks on sovereign, established nations. If the nations in the US’ and Israel’s crosshairs continue to hope for salvation via international law and the ‘rules-based order’… The response will be laughter from Washington and Tel Aviv, followed by annihilation. The rules are for the rest, not for the West.
🚨CIA Whistleblower John Kiriakou: ‘The United States does not spy on Israel, period. It just does not. And it operates in Israel only with the permission of the Mossad. It’s a very strange relationship. It’s not a terribly friendly one. It’s proper. It’s formal, but not friendly. And the US does nothing inside Israel without the Mossad’s permission.’ -@JohnKiriakou on Going Underground
