"I wish every single person in the West would listen to Putin's speech. Obviously, that won't happen so let me summarise as a professional translator for 10+ years. He states, as he has done from the outset, what his intentions and complaints are in the plainest terms possible."
https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1575853684852150272.html

Setting aside his brief comments on the recent "referendums", he spends most of his speech discussing the West. His primary complaint isn't NATO expansion, which gets only a cursory mention. The West is greedy and seeks to enslave and colonise other nations, like Russia.
The West uses the power of finance and technology to enforce its will on other nations. To collect what he calls the "hegemon's tax". To this end the West destabilises countries, creates terrorist enclaves and most of all seeks to deprive other countries of sovereignty.
It is this "avarice" and desire to preserve its power that is the reason for the "hybrid war" the collective West is "waging on Russia". They want us to be a "colony". They do not want us to be free, they want Russians to be a mob of soulless slaves - direct quote.
The rules-based order the West goes on about is "nonsense". Who made these rules? Who agreed to them? Russia is an ancient country and civilization and we will not play by these "rigged" rules. The West has no moral authority to challenge the referendums because it has violated
...the borders of other countries. Western elites are "totalitarian, despotic and apartheidistic" - direct quote.
They are racist against Russia and other countries and nations. "Russophobia is racism". They discriminate by calling themselves the "civilised world".
They colonised, started the global slave trade, genocided native Americans, pillaged India and Africa, forced China to buy opium through war. We, on the other hand, are proud that we "led" the anti-colonial movement that helped countries develop to reduce poverty and inequality.
They are Russophobic (they hate us) because we didn't allow our country to be pillaged by creating a strong CENTRALISED (emphasis his) state based on Christianity, Islam, Judaism and Buddhism. They have been trying to destabilise our country since the 17th century in the Times...
...of Trouble (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_of_T…). Eventually, they managed to "get their hands on our riches" at the end of the 20th century. They called us friends and partners while pumping out trillions of dollars (his irony game is strong today).
We remember this. We didn't forget. The West claims to bring freedom and democracy to other countries but it's the exact opposite of the truth. The unipolar world is anti-democratic by its very nature. It is a lie. They used nuclear weapons, creating a precedent.
They flattened German cities without "any military need to do so". There was no need for this except to scare us and the rest of the world. Korea, Vietnam. To this day they "occupy" Japan, South Korea and Germany and other countries while cynically calling them "allies".
The West has surveillance over the leaders of these nations who "swallow these insults like the slaves they are".
He then talks about bioweapon research (haven't heard about them for a while) and human experiments "including in Ukraine".
The US rules the world by the power of the fist. Any country which seeks to challenge Western hegemony becomes an enemy. Their neocolonialism is cloaked in lies like "containment" of Russia, China and Iran. The concept of truth has been destroyed with fakes and extreme...
...propaganda (irony game still strong).
You cannot feed your people with printed dollars and social media. You need food and energy. But Western elites have no desire to find a solution to the food and energy crises they (emphasis his) created.
They solved the problems at the start of 20c with WW1 and the US established dominance of the world via the dollar as a result of WW2. In the 80s they had another crisis they solved by "plundering our country". Now they want to solve their problems by "breaking Russia".
Russia "understands its responsibility to the international community" and will "do everything to cool the heads of these neocolonials who are destined to fail".
They're crazy. I want to speak to all Russian citizens, do we want to replace mum and dad with parent 1 and 2?
They invented genders and claim you can "transition". Do we want this for our children?
We have a different vision.
"They have abandoned religion and embraced Satanism" - direct quote.
The world is going through a revolutionary transformation. A multipolar world offers nations freedom to develop as they wish and they make up the majority of the world.
We have many like-minded friends in Western countries. We see and appreciate their support. They are forming
liberation, anti-colonial movements as we speak - direct quote. These will only grow.
We are fighting for a fair world for our country. The idea of exceptionalism is criminal and we must turn this shameful page. The breaking of the West's hegemony is INEVITABLE (emphasis his).
There is no going back. We are fighting for our "great (as in big), historic Russia". Our values are (irony game crescendo): love of our fellow man, compassion and mercy.
Truth is with us, Russia is with us.
That's the end of the speech. As I said from day 1, the purpose of what Putin is doing in Ukraine is to throw the West off its pedestal. This isn't about NATO or Ukraine, this is the big play to replace the current world order.

CNN Content Creators disguised as Journalists exposed as frauds.

The post-mortem on a CNN investigation raises questions about the network’s journalistic standards.
By Pesach Benson, United with Israel
Al Jazeera reporter Shireen Abu Akleh’s death while covering a shootout in Jenin is tragic. Unfortunately, we may never know whether she was killed by Palestinian terrorists or errant Israeli gunfire.
Israeli investigators did not get to examine her body, and the Palestinian Authority adamantly refuses to let the IDF inspect the bullet.
If blaming Israel for killing Abu Akleh is premature and prejudicial, accusing the IDF of deliberately firing on her is a blood libel.
Yet, that is exactly what CNN did with an investigative report published on Tuesday that reads more like a hit piece.
“”They were shooting directly at the journalists’: New evidence suggests Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in targeted attack by Israeli forces,” the headline breathlessly declares.
The Context
Abu Akleh was covering an IDF counter-terror raid in Jenin. A wave of terror attacks in recent weeks were mostly carried out by Palestinians from the Jenin area.
Jenin is a stronghold of the Fatah-aligned Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups.
A veteran journalist, Abu Akleh knew the risks of covering IDF military operations.
The 51-year-old reporter had worked for Al Jazeera for 25 years — half of her life. She made a point of wearing a helmet and flak jacket that said “press” to identify her as a reporter.
Helmets made of kevlar and flak jackets with protective ceramic inserts are certainly helpful. So is the press strip.
CNN’s Dubious Sources
No bullet?
No problem, insists CNN. “Even without access to the bullet that hit Abu Akleh, there are ways to determine who killed Abu Akleh by analyzing the type of gunfire, the sound of the shots and the marks left by the bullets at the scene,” the report said.
If only it was that easy.
Unfortunately, a closer look at CNN’s key sources for its investigation only raises more questions about its journalism.
Shatha Hanaysha: A 29-year-old Palestinian writer who was with Abu Akleh when she was shot.
CNN identifies her as a journalist, but according to HonestReporting, Hanaysha “openly shares her extremist views on social media pages, including support for Palestinian terrorists who have carried out deadly attacks against Israeli civilians.” Posts include showering praise for Palestinian “martyrs” killed while attacking Israelis.
She told CNN, “They wanted to kill us. This is why they shoot; I don’t have another reason why they shoot. And they know we are journalists.”
Jamal Huwail: A Fatah official and a professor at Jenin’s Arab-American University who helped drag Abu Akleh to the side of the road after she was hit.
CNN reported that Huwail “believed the shots were coming from one of the Israeli vehicles, which he described as a ‘new model which had an opening for snipers,’ because of the elevation and direction of the bullets. ‘They were shooting directly at the journalists,’ Huwail said.”
According to the Middle East Media Research Institute (MEMRI), which monitors and translates Arab media, Huwail has praised terrorists who killed Israelis in interviews with Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen TV, which is run by Hezbollah.
In one interview, Huwail described Muhammad Abu Al-Kiyan as a “lone lion” after he murdered four Israelis in a Beersheba terror attack. In a separate interview, Huwail said that Diaa Hamarsheh, who killed five people in Bnei Brak, “brought light into the hearts of the Palestinians, and the hearts of every free human being who yearns for freedom.”
Chris Cobb-Smith: The director of Chiron Resources, whose website describes itself as “one of the leading providers of News Safety consultants.” Based in Britain, Cobb examined video footage from the scene which CNN collected from various cameramen and corresponded with CNN by email.
Cobb pronounced that Abu Akleh was “killed in discrete shots — not a burst of automatic gunfire.” He reached this conclusion by poring over images of bullet marks on a nearby tree.
Confidence-inspiring?
Hardly.
What CNN didn’t say about Cobb was that he is also an advisor to the London-based Forensic Architecture.
According to HonestReporting, Cobb and Forensic Architecture have “produced numerous pseudo-scientific investigations into Israel that have reached provenly biased and misleading conclusions.”
Audio Forensics
CNN also turned to Robert Maher, a professor of electrical and computer engineering at Montana State University. He specializes in forensic audio analysis — in layman’s terms, the analysis of recorded sound.
After watching the videos, examining their audio and explaining his conclusions to CNN by email, the report said the distances described by Maher “correspond almost exactly with the Israeli sniper’s position.”
But in a separate interview with Bellingcat, Maher stressed an important caveat. “The estimate of the distance depends upon the air temperature, since this affects the speed of sound,” he said.
Bellingcat went on to write, “While the calibre of bullet analysed is also consistent with reports that the bullet which killed Abu Akleh was 5.56mm, it is also important to note that this calculation does not account for the possibility that another weapon not visible or captured in videos from the scene could have been used.” (emphasis added).
This caveat didn’t appear in CNN’s coverage.
Report Doesn’t Add Up
The rest of CNN’s coverage featured videos and diagrams outlining purported Israeli and Palestinian lines of fire. None of the videos showed Abu Akleh at the moment she was hit.
Bottom line: CNN’s journalism doesn’t add up.
Its witnesses don’t pass the sniff test. One expert has a history of prejudice and shoddy research. Another expert’s key caveats inexplicably aren’t acknowledged. A layperson watching the videos doesn’t know what to watch for.
None of this warrants a libelous headline accusing Israel of deliberately killing Shireen Abu Akleh.
If CNN’s hot for investigative journalism, here’s an idea: Get the damn bullet.
