10/12/22: CRIMEA RIVER – A BRIDGE TOO FAR W/ SEAN PATRICK HAZLETT

Posted on October 12th, 2022 by Clyde Lewis

On Saturday, a giant explosion ripped across the Crimean Bridge, a strategic link between mainland Russia and Crimea. The bridge provided a road and rail connection between Russia and the Ukrainian peninsula. Some feel it was staged or a false flag event. Curiously, this incident comes right on the heels of the attacks on the Nordstream pipeline which shows beyond any doubt that the West has now set a course on total terrorist warfare. It is apparent that President Biden is hell-bent on destroying Russia and will risk a undefinedNuclear Armeggedonundefined in doing so. Tonight on Ground Zero, Clyde Lewis talks to geopolitical and military analyst, Sean Patrick Hazlett.

SHOW TRANSCRIPT: 

When a major event happens on a Saturday it is hard to get things back in synch. I had been caught up in the throes of a possible nuclear threat and so I was obsessed for two days on the matter. I took a break but then something happened that snapped me out of my rest on the matter.

A giant explosion ripped across the Crimean Bridge, a strategic link between mainland Russia and Crimea. The bridge provided a road and rail connection between Russia and the Ukrainian peninsula.

This was most certainly a blow to the Russians and Vladimir Putin.

While limited vehicle and rail traffic resumed hours after the explosion, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov acknowledged the government had no timeline for restoring the 12-mile bridge to fully operational status.

From all of the video that was presented by the media, there were plenty of observers online that saw the explosion and thought that it was faked.  I suppose that the overreaction would cause a backlash pf criticism from those who observed the media and how they handled it but it certainly sent a message.

From what I have read, a truck filled with explosives blew up, killing three people in a car nearby, and then the flames took over a train also crossing the bridge.  That train was full of fuel.  It is only thanks to the amazing speed at which the bridge crews reacted that the damage was limited to only 9 wagons and, therefore, to a much shorter segment of the rail tracks.

Looking at the video, one would imagine that the bridge is in ruins. In fact, traffic was reestablished on both rail tracks and the road in less than 24 hours (with the exception of heavy trucks).  In other words, this is yet another case of “it is humiliating, but not dangerous”

But maybe there is more to this that those shouting False Flag cannot even understand.

It is self-evident that the Kyiv regime would never have had the means, technical and political, to execute such an attack without being told to do so by its masters in the West. It could also be speculated that they certainly had help which again sends the message to the Kremlin that this is no longer a proxy war but a war where there are real demolition experts working for Ukraine- whether they be American or British.

Such an attack, right on the heels of the attacks on Nordstream 1 and Nordstream 2 shows beyond any doubt that the West has now set a course on total terrorist warfare.

This makes sense since, for all the so-called “victories” of the NATO forces in Ukraine, the reality is that they reconquered a few villages and towns while Russia liberated and then incorporated entire regions.

This again gives me an indication that the acts of terrorist warfare mean there has been a significant redirection of the tactics that point to being similar to Operations that we once used in Vietnam, and South America.

The bridge attack again is a sign of escalation undefined meaning that the west has no interest in stopping the war undefined in fact, the attack on the bridge and the pipelines can be seen as acts of terrorism that can be used as an excuse to prolong the war and harden the resolve of the Kremlin to push their terrifying Nuclear agenda,

When the bridge was attacked Russia sent out a public warning about what to expect now that this type of warfare has begun. The Russians issued a statement to all schools and businesses with regard to civil defense preparation undefined that makes it sound as though we are on the brink.

This is an attempted translation from a babble fish program:

Actions of the population

- Close windows and doors tightly

Civil defense measures are now being tweeted and broadcast to every area - the small bridge attack has now become a symbol for what to expect from what can be seen as western terrorist maneuvers.

There was also a reality missile barrage unleashed on October 10th.  Kyiv said the missiles actually hit power plants and busy civilian areas in major cities, killing at least 11 and wounding scores more. It was Russiaundefineds largest single barrage since the opening day of the war.

Belarus dictator Alexander Lukashenko appeared to be laying the groundwork to join the war. He announced Russian units would combine with his own and deploy to the Ukraine border, accusing Kyiv of planning to attack with help from allies Poland and Lithuania.

Belarus has acted as a staging ground for Russian attacks on Ukraine but has not yet been involved in the fighting.

It only can build up the notion that no longer are there good guys or bad guys in this war. With all of the hate and joy that comes together with the escalation of war undefined we need to now accept that the dynamics of war and how we live with it is going to have to factor in what it means to be an American.

We can no longer tell people that we attack only to defend undefined we now attack as a matter of escalation. This is a change in procedure.

I wonder if our values as a nation are changing for the worse. Especially with this war undefined or maybe we have always been this way.

War is not a respecter of persons, and now we see that no matter what happens, we as a western power can resort to terrorism if we feel it is necessary.

Many values are changing undefined or better said among many people they are changing; systems, policies, and structures will naturally follow.

Central to shifting values is the idea of unity, a recognition that humanity is one, varied, diverse but whole.  These values are really not being practiced and war seems to be accepted as a vital part of our lives. The evil empire is back and all is well with some people. Even in the knowledge that both the bad guys and the bad guys are waging war for the result of the great reset.

Momentum is building and, despite entrenched resistance from fearful forces determined to maintain control and ensure the perpetuation of systems and attitudes that breed division and suffering, the question is no longer will there be a fundamental change and the inauguration of new modes of living, but when and how.

The ‘when’ is not a fixed moment in time but a dynamic flow expanding throughout the now; the ‘how’ is a creative explosion of collective action, examples of which are all around us, in every country of the world.

It is not when the world ends that we should be talking about undefined is that the world is ending because no one is willing to fight it. In fact, a lot of people are welcoming it.

President Biden has talked about Armageddon and how close we are to it. He compared it to the Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962.  Of course, his advisers told him to walk back his statements but in his octogenarian fog, he went off script and told the truth.

He knows how we are in the middle of the end -and he knows his time is short.

These are the signs of the times; diverse worldwide manifestations of ‘the how’, occurring within ‘the now’. Daily they multiply and strengthen, and the forces of resistance falter; they are the seeds of evolving socio-economic-political forms; they are the promise of things to come, the forerunners of The New time, which, no matter how the forces of resistance kick and scream, cannot, and will not, be held at bay.

It should now be quite clear to any reasonable person that the Biden administration is hell-bent on destroying Russia and will risk a nuclear war in doing so.  It has already started World War III with its use of Ukraine to light the final match.

Reasonable people are in short supply.

Most Americans are oblivious to the reality that Western media are owned and operated by the same corporations that make massive profits by helping to stoke small wars and then peddling the necessary weapons.

The mainstream media has actually held panels of warmongers and Russiaphobes, to undefinedexplain,undefined for example, why the Russians are undefinedalmost genetically drivenundefined to do evil.

They may as well call out their own Dr. Mengele to comment on how if we were to examine the Russian brain undefined we may find the answers as to why they are born to be war-like.

Meanwhile, President Biden mutters inanities as if he were a mafia boss wandering the streets in his pajamas and slippers.

In 2014, when the U.S. engineered a coup in Ukraine, bringing into power neo-Nazi elements, and Russia protested this coup on its western border, Washington mocked such concerns. Every time Russia has complained about such provocative moves, the U.S. has dismissed them as inconsequential.

For years the U.S. has supported the Ukrainian killing of the Russian-speaking peoples of eastern Ukraine, and finally, when Ukraine had amassed forces to invade the Donbas region, the Russian government had had enough and sent troops into the region to defend this area.

Russia was cast as the guilty party for invading Ukraine.  And now a full-fledged US war against Russia is out in the open and it will become more dangerous as it continues.  Nuclear annihilation becomes a very real possibility as the Biden administration continues to push the envelope.

There will be no end to the war in Ukraine because the US is intent on doing everything in its power to try to bring Russia to its knees. It is madness on its face, but then insane people are in charge. In this process, everyone is expendable, friends, foes, and anyone who stands in its way, including the U.S.’s supposed European allies whose leaders seem intent on destroying their own countries.

The American liberal class usually protests war like this undefined but they would rather riot over Black Lives Matter or Trump policies or defund the police.

We all have or priorities I guess.

Oh, and how can we ignore their support of the new Cold War, censorship, the CIA, and FBI as weapons to enforce their tyranny and the so-called progressive Democratic politicians in the US congress, including Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, embracing and voting for war with Russia via Ukraine.

Their smiles are revealing their fangs -as they have no problem cheering for blood and crushed bones.

But of course, vampires have always been known to frighten impressionable children.. and this is how we have been rendered. Infantilized by the left undefined looking down on people and explaining everything from what is racism and homophobia to how to wipe your butt,

Oh, how the radical liberals love to infantilize the people undefined and how they never realize that at the end of the plot the gun is reversed and is aimed at them.

Faith in reason was abandoned in favor of the psychological manipulation of emotion and the use of unreason.

They are now wanting to crack down on descent, and they forget that it was always the bad guys in history that jailed and executed those who spoke out against the censorship and tyranny that always is a precursor to fascism.

As we have noted that when the Church Committee blew the lid off of the massive psyop undefined it has been long enough now to try and apply psychological techniques, like what was seen with the CIA’s MK Ultra and Operation Mockingbird.

Today such people debate whether they should be called liberal or progressive. At the moment they should be called warmongers. After all, they have no respect for you undefined they would sooner call you a domestic terrorist if you speak out against their treachery.

When President Kennedy, deeply chastened by the Cuban Missile Crisis of October 1962, spoke about real peace and democracy at American University on June 10, 1963, he was the last American leader to recognize that international relations had to undergo a radical change, especially in the nuclear age.

What do we have now undefined a half-awake President who claims Armageddon is coming and that for some reason he keeps writing checks to push us into a nuclear age.

As Kamala Harris says “This is what real leadership looks likeundefined undefined the bar has definitely been lowered- Biden does not care if we all die in a nuclear cloud undefined he thinks he can build back better.

Kennedy believed that you canundefinedt keep demonizing countries without consequences.

Five months later, the CIA made sure his voice was still.

Here we are now undefined and we have learned nothing from history.

I hope someone who voted for Biden can give a good reason why we have to live like this. Why do we have to continue to escalate this war?

The liberal warmongers remain silent.

I guess they know the consequences of speaking out.

This is what tyranny looks like.
