Just watched news video of the devastation left by the Russians as they withdrew from

Irpin north of Kyiv.

As the camera panned across corpses in the street, spray-painted graffiti covered some upright surfaces and included the number "1488", a well known white supremacist coded salute to Hitler and the "14 words" stating their purpose.

Addendum: The "14 words" are "We must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children".
The 88 stands for two "H's", the 8th letter of the alphabet, meaning "Heil Hitler".

These are sick puppies.

A New Report Adds Evidence That Trump Was a Russian Asset
He helped Putin manipulate the U.S. election in 2020, as he did in 2016.


Attacks on Biden and his son, Hunter, were part of this operation. Through “US officials and prominent US individuals, some of whom were close to former President Trump and his administration,” the report says Russia’s intelligence services “repeatedly spread unsubstantiated or misleading claims about President Biden and his family’s alleged wrongdoing related to Ukraine.” In this way, Trump’s circle “laundered” the Russian-planted stories, which were then recirculated—and promoted by Russia’s online proxies—as American news.

... loaded with some kind of crap by the FSB (my guess) after which Rudy started yacking about
"it," and how bad that all is as Ivanka walked away from her time @ the White House with $460
million in grift money. This is Hillary and her emails 2.0.

For the love of God the Senate Intel Committee which was run by republicans @ the time have said
that "the Hunter Biden did something wrong" is some kind of Russian con in order to help Trump and
hurt Joe Biden.

* Which Hunter was never in and if I remember right was thousands of miles from where he lived.

On the other hand TFG was a known crook and mobster before he even took office. His sons are on recording bragging about taking Russian money. It’s amazing to me how easy it is to get these people repeating propaganda practically word for word from Russian TV

For war crimes on Putin are getting louder.

The media shows the horror, then the pundits go right back to saying the people are blaming Biden for everything. Bringing up every one who agrees.!

One positive for the effects of social media and the accessibility of the internet is the easy proliferation of important news. These Russian atrocities wouldn't otherwise been revealed for weeks or months, and it would be more difficult to react appropriately. Listening to Trump's masterful use of projection to fend off critics gives us a window into Putin's tactics. His villifying of "Nazis" in UKR is a projection of his own Nazification. Russia's savagery and barbarism is on full display with the use of the internet. Standard denials are silly and transparent. When it comes to war, propaganda is a paper-thin shield, with the war crimes and evil silhouetted behind it. Putin isn't only destroying UKR, he's also destroying Russia. Just as Trump's minions cower before him, Putin's inner circle is terrified and, so far, disorganized and chaotic. Putin won't stop himself. He'll never come to a moment in which he grasps the enormity of his crimes, and anyone who has faith in an alternate path is a fool. Putin will not voluntarily stop the slaughter. Every ounce of energy he has will be devoted to killing more. He's lost any respect for human life. For him, killing is easy.

12. Hitler had plans to enslave and murder the Slavs
Sun Apr 3, 2022, 09:54 AM
Apr 2022

The Slavs encompass peoples in central and eastern Europe speaking Slavic languages. Russia, Poland, and the Ukraine are all Slavic countries. Hitler may have had a temporary treaty with Stalin but he eventually attacked them too.

Nazis see Slavs as subhuman. Hitler murdered many of them in his concentration camps, firing squads and in battle. They maybe temporarily off the Nazis' hate list but they'll be right back on as soon as Putin has done what they want, much like Stalin.

Anti-Slavic sentiment, also known as Slavophobia is common among Nazis. It is, a form of racism or xenophobia and refers to various negative attitudes towards Slavic peoples. The most common claims are that the inhabitants of Slavic nations are inferior to other ethnic groups. Nazis still hold this belief but are hiding it to manipulate Putin and his henchmen.

If anything, that sounds disturbingly familiar -- the language of good-ole American racism!
Are U.S. militant groups serving the Russian Army? It certainly wouldn't surprise me.
Does anybody know where Ginnie Thomas is?

graffiti on the walls to make it look like they had to kill the "nazi" Ukrainians who actually did the tagging?

The "1488" doesn't make sense any other way and follows Putin's narrative that he invaded Ukraine to get rid of the nazi element running the country.

They marched openly in Charlottesville. Chanting nazi bile and waving the nazi flags.
Is this now a world wide movement? I don't want to be ambushed.

15. The far right-wing movement is transnational
Sun Apr 3, 2022, 11:04 AM

The memes we read on social media and hear amplified on right-wing news outlets are now shared globally. Which makes the movement all the more dangerous. That 1488 code could easily have been picked up here from white nationalist platforms and painted on buildings as a ruse--see, see, the Nazis were living here, plotting in Ukraine. Works in reverse as well--our home-bred, Neo-Nazi, white nationalist groups feeding off memes and slogans and directives from their 'brothers' abroad.

The bio lab accusation? I read that the meme actually started on Q, a platform we know from past experience is willing to throw everything at the wall to see what sticks.

Think virus. Highly contagious and absolutely lethal to a certain subset of the population. Everywhere. The memes evolve, morph into new variations.

A pandemic of propaganda.

We've seen this before. Al Qaeda and ISIS groups used the same propaganda strategy to conjure up recruits in the most unlikely places, seducing mostly young men but women, too, to fight for their 'just' cause under the banner of godliness.

It's a fucking sickness.
