The Polish Cowboys vs. Yankees War, Intermarium, and Project Ukraine

I have written about this so many times, and I will write it again: watch this lecture by Carl Oglesby:

And read his book, which is free online:

I think that if we try to move in closer and look at the divisions within the Kennedy presidency — the split within the presidency — we’ll find a picture that’s very much like that of the Cuban situation.

A “cowboy” force moves to define a national interest in a particular theater and employs military and/or clandestine means to pursue that interest. The “yankee” force, rubbing its eyes and trying to wake up from a part of the Cold War, begins to specify other national interests that are contradicted by the investment of energy into Vietnam, and so on. It wants to draw lines; it wants to make the commitment to maintaining the open frontier in the Orient, but it also wants to limit that commitment.

In other words, an Atlanticist like Kennedy would ask of any Vietnam policy how it rebounded on European-American relations. If it were good in itself but adversely affected those relations, that might be grounds in itself for not following that policy. That is the heart and essence of the Yankee perspective: it sees America linked to Western Europe and the Western democracies, and above all, fights to preserve those relationships. Now, if those relationships are impeached by a definition of national objectives requiring us to invest inordinate amounts of our available national productive energy in other theaters and in other kinds of crusades, then America is in fundamental trouble — even if she is able to win a power position in Southeast Asia.

 

I promote this book and concept so much because I have seen it in my own country. The Polish PO party represents the “Yankee” force, while PiS represents the “Cowboy” force. I also want to point out that there isn’t only one division; that’s why the deep state is also often called the Blob. Within the “Yankee” group, there was an internal division into American Yankee and European Yankee forces, represented by the WEF, Merkel, and Putin.

And I have to say, when I mention names like Mrs. Merkel, even Vladimir Putin, and so on, they all have been Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum.

What we are very proud of now is the young generation, like Prime Minister Trudeau, the President of Argentina, and so on — we penetrate the cabinets. Yesterday, I was at a reception for Prime Minister Trudeau, and I know that half of his cabinet — or even more than half — are actually Young Global Leaders of the World Economic Forum.

That is true in Argentina as well, and it is true in France now with the President, who is also a Young Global Leader. But what is important…

 

I highly respect Putin, and I wanted to write an article about it — maybe I will one day. But we need to remember that you don’t get to become president if you do not associate with the Blob. Both Putin and Merkel were creations of Klaus Schwab. Putin helped Americans plunder Saint Petersburg, not because he wanted to destroy Russia, but simply because he wanted to get into the good graces of part of the Blob so he could get into a position of power that he could later use to save Russia. Basically, Putin made a pact with the devil — in the form of the part of the Western Blob — to gain power and save his nation.

This is similar to what Józef Piłsudski did by creating the Intermarium and a cordon sanitaire with the goal of dividing Russia and Germany for the Western Blob. Poland was removed from the map for 123 years; no one cared about the Polish nation. Piłsudski understood that, and he also understood that Poland would only be allowed to be reborn if it benefited the devil in the form of the Western Blob. Piłsudski, just like Putin, made deals with the devil to get into power and save his nation.

“In foreign policy, our field of action lies in the East — that is where we can be strong. It is pointless for Poland to overly eagerly entangle itself in Western foreign relations, because nothing else can await us there than crawling up the West’s ass… and getting shit on while inside.”

– Józef Piłsudski

“The West is pretty vile.”

– Józef Piłsudski

Józef Piłsudski understood that the West is evil and horrible, but he also understood the materialist view of history, which I would call historical materialism. Basically, morality doesn’t matter; the West is evil, and even if saving the Polish nation was a good thing, the Western Empire wouldn’t help him achieve it unless they stood to benefit from it. Therefore, based on Halford Mackinder’s work, he created the Intermarium.

Intermarium – Wikipedia

Intermarium ( Polish: Międzymorze, Polish pronunciation: WWI geopolitical plan conceived by [mʲɛnd͡zɨˈmɔʐɛ] ) was a post- Józef Piłsudski to unite former Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth lands within a single polity. The plan went through several iterations, some of which anticipated the inclusion of neighbouring states.

Since the division of Germany and Russia benefited the Western Blob — specifically the Anglo-Saxons, the British, and the Americans — he was supported in rebirthing Poland. Poland and the Polish people weren’t saved from 123 years of oppression because it was simply the right thing to do; no, it happened because Piłsudski created conditions under which doing so benefited the Western Blob.

Then we have a video of Condoleezza Rice explaining the position of the current “Cowboy” force, which is the Neocon/Zionist faction.

We also have George Friedman explaining it even better and mentioning Józef Piłsudski.

Well, remember the structure of Europe. From St. Petersburg to Rostov, draw a line. To the west of it is the European Peninsula; to the east is Russia. No one has ever permanently occupied Russia, but Russia has always moved westward. Now it’s just further east. The line, incidentally, is roughly the border of the Baltics, Belarus, and Ukraine.

The question on the table for the Russians is: will they retain a buffer zone that’s at least neutral, or will the West penetrate so far into Ukraine that they’re 70 miles away from Stalingrad and 300 miles away from Moscow? For Russia, the status of Ukraine is an existential threat, and the Russians cannot let go. For the United States, in the event that Russia holds on to Ukraine, where will it stop? Therefore, it’s not an accident that General Hodges, who’s been appointed to be blamed for all of this, is talking about prepositioning troops in Romania, Bulgaria, Poland, and the Baltics. This is the Intermarium, from the Black Sea to the Baltic, that Piłsudski dreamt of. This is the solution for the United States.

The issue to which we don’t have the answer is: what will Germany do? So the real wild card in Europe is that as the United States builds this cordon sanitaire — not in Ukraine, but to the west — and the Russians try to figure out how to leverage the Ukrainians out, we don’t know the German position. Germany is in a very peculiar position. Its former Chancellor, Gerhard Schröder, is on the board of Gazprom. They have a very complex relationship with the Russians. The Germans themselves don’t know what to do. They must export. The Russians can’t take up the export. On the other hand, if they lose the free trade zone, they need to build something different.

For the United States, the primordial fear is Russian capital, I mean German technology and German capital, Russian natural resources, and Russian manpower. This is the only combination that has for centuries scared the hell out of the United States. So how does this play out? Well, the U.S. has already put cards on the table: it is the line from the Baltics to the Black Sea. For the Russians, their cards have always been on the table: they must have at least a neutral Ukraine, not a pro-Western Ukraine. But the outcome is another question.

Whoever can tell me what the Germans are going to do is going to tell me about the next 20 years of history, but unfortunately, the Germans haven’t made up their mind. And this is the problem of Germany always: enormously economically powerful, geopolitically very fragile, and never quite knowing how to reconcile the two.

Now, the situation has repeated itself. There was a faction of European “Yankees” — groomed by Klaus Schwab, much like Merkel and Putin — who wanted to unite Halford Mackinder’s great “World-Island” by uniting Europe, Russia, and China. There was also another group of Neocons/Zionists who wanted to divide Europe from Russia and China. Poland, situated between Germany and Russia, was abused by both powers. In my opinion, Russia didn’t really want to abuse Poland, but simply had to because Germany wanted to abuse Poland, and Russia needed Germany’s help to protect itself from the Neocons/Zionists who wanted to destroy it. This is the deal with the devil that Putin had to make with Germany, and he had to abuse his Polish Slavic brothers in order to protect the Russian nation. Just like Piłsudski had to make a deal with the devil by offering to divide Russia and Germany in order to save the Polish nation. This is similar to today, when Poland was abused by Germany and Russia, and in order to stop it, Poland had to help the Neocon/Zionist “Cowboy” forces by creating Project Ukraine — in a way, sacrificing their Slavic brothers in the form of Ukrainians.

Putin was forced to abuse Poland’s Slavic brothers to save his nation from destruction by the Neocon/Zionist “Cowboys,” just like Poland was forced to sacrifice Ukrainian Slavic brothers in order to protect Poland from German and Russian abuse, which represented the European/Globalist “Yankee” forces.

After the war in Ukraine started and Nord Stream was blown up, the European/Globalist “Yankee” forces lost — that’s why we have the famous Sikorski tweet.

Which, in my opinion, he wrote in frustration, since he was working for the opposing faction and his side lost. Now think for a second: Americans didn’t want the world to find out that they blew up Nord Stream. So by writing that, Sikorski was going against America — meaning against the Neocon/Zionist “Cowboy” forces. It was a sarcastic tweet exposing what should not be said, and I assume it was done out of frustration because the faction he backed alongside Merkel lost. I also provided wiretapped conversations that really show what Sikorski was thinking.

Polish foreign minister says country’s alliance with US worthless

Polish magazine says it has obtained recordings of a conversation in which Radek Sikorski says strong alliance with US ‘harmful’

According to a transcript of excerpts of the conversation that was published by Wprost on its Internet site, Sikorski told Rostowski: “You know that the Polish-US alliance isn’t worth anything.”

“It is downright harmful, because it creates a false sense of security … Complete bullshit. We’ll get in conflict with the Germans, Russians and we’ll think that everything is super, because we gave the Americans a blow job. Losers. Complete losers.”

I also provided a video where he threatened Ukrainian protesters.

Polish foreign minister Radoslaw Sikorski was overheard warning a member of the Ukrainian opposition that President Yanukovich would impose martial law if protesters did not support a deal with the government

Mr Sikorski was caught on camera telling a protest leader: “If you don’t support this [deal] you’ll have martial law, you’ll have the army. You will all be dead.”

When asked by ITV News whether he thought he had managed to persuade the opposition, Mr Sikorski appeared to reply: “I don’t know.”

Now, think for a second: Sikorski was threatening to stop the protests on the Maidan because he knew Victoria Nuland, the CIA, and their Nazi Ukrainian buddies were planning to kill over 100 people to turn the protest into a coup d’état. So while Victoria Nuland was giving cookies to protesters, her Nazi Ukrainian buddies were waiting to kill those very protesters. At the same time, Sikorski was threatening the protesters and telling them to stop. If Sikorski had succeeded and the protesters had stopped, there would have been no shooting on the Maidan and no coup d’état.

So now we have Sikorski’s actions going against the war in Ukraine — in the form of his famous tweet and his threats to the protesters — while at the same time, we have wiretapped private conversations showing what he really thinks about the situation. Don’t get me wrong: while he was working for Merkel and trying to prevent war, he was also trying to bring Ukraine into NATO and the West. Sikorski wanted to bring Ukraine into the West, but since he was working for Merkel and the Germans, he didn’t want this war because he understood that Americans saw Project Ukraine as the only way to divide Germany and Russia. The war in Ukraine and the blowing up of Nord Stream were the culmination of the entire Ukraine project, which meant that the Sikorski-Merkel faction lost — hence that tweet.

Once it happened, you couldn’t “put the genie back in the bottle,” so after that, Sikorski fully fell in line behind the war in Ukraine and joined the Neocon/Zionist “Cowboy” faction.

This goes far back. Here you have Lech Kaczyński in Tbilisi:

He was the Polish president from the PiS faction, so he collaborated with the Neocon/Zionist “Cowboy” faction against Sikorski and his Merkel/Europe/Globalist “Yankee” faction. Basically, his plan was the same as Condoleezza Rice’s from the earlier video and George Friedman’s cordon sanitaire — the Intermarium. Poland was being squeezed and oppressed by both Germany and Russia. At the same time, Germany was turning the EU into a neocolonial empire used to oppress other European countries, which I have explained in many of my previous posts. Poland wasn’t the only one supporting this, but since Poland shares a brotherhood with Ukraine, it was very important in starting Project Ukraine.

You had France being upset because its voice didn’t matter once Germany took full control; you had Norway and Denmark with energy interests competing with German-Russian energy cooperation; and you had countries like Spain and Greece being ruined by economic crises to save German banks and others. America assembled a huge coalition of countries that later began pushing Project Ukraine as the sole narrative and the only tool that could stop German-Russian cooperation. Weakening German-Russian cooperation would weaken Europe, but at the same time, it would also weaken Germany’s grip over the EU, which Germany used to oppress other European countries.

I heard a funny interview with some female German politician — I think it was on The Duran, if I remember correctly — she was upset and angry that Germany wasn’t benefiting from the EU and that it worked against German interests. I didn’t feel sorry for her; I laughed, and it was a laugh of justice. I would love to ask her: what should a Pole or a Greek say? Germany was using the EU for its own benefit at the expense of other countries; Poland and Greece were suffering under it just to benefit Germany. In her eyes, that was a good EU working as it should — making Poles and Greeks suffer to benefit Germany. But once Germany had to suffer for the benefit of Poland and Greece, then it was unacceptable, inimical, and proof that the EU wasn’t working properly.

The goal of Project Ukraine was twofold: if Ukraine wins, subjugate Russia and plunder it just like they did with the rest of Eastern Europe, including Poland — something Putin stopped. Or, if Ukraine loses, divide German-Russian cooperation and subjugate Europe to America. Basically, countries being oppressed by Germany, like Poland and Greece, would prefer for Europe to be subjugated to America rather than Germany. Because Americans dosns’t care how Europe works or who oppresses whom within it, as long as Europe listens to America. While German-Russian cooperation made Europe too strong and too independent from America, at the same time, as Europe grew strong, Germany took control of it and plundered other European countries to benefit itself. So while Poland and Greece might live in a weaker Europe subjugated by America, at least they can be strong within that weaker Europe because they will no longer be oppressed by Germany.

Things like the Visegrád Group, Intermarium in the 21st Century, and the Three Seas Initiative represent the cordon sanitaire that George Friedman talked about, which the American Neocon/Zionist “Cowboy” faction wanted. This is what Józef Piłsudski offered to the “pretty vile” West, as he called it: a way to divide German-Russian cooperation in order to give them an incentive to save his nation from 123 years of oppression. He understood that no one would save the Polish nation simply because it was the right thing to do, and that they would only do it if he proved they could benefit from it. That’s why I push Halford Mackinder’s concept of the “World-Island” to understand the world. What you see on those maps is the Intermarium — a position of pawns on The Grand Chessboard that Zbigniew Brzezinski talked about, on the “World-Island” that Halford Mackinder talked about.

In the same way, Putin had to help the West plunder Saint Petersburg to get into their good graces and make them believe he would help them plunder the rest of Russia for their benefit. Then, when he got into power, he turned against the West and saved Russia, but to do so, he needed help from Merkel and the German faction that controlled Europe. Germany benefited from cooperation with Russia, making Germany — and by extension, the Europe controlled by Germany — so strong that it threatened the Americans, prompting America to stop it. At the same time, countries like Poland and Greece suffered to benefit Germany, causing resentment that America later exploited. This all culminated in Project Ukraine.

Project Ukraine is the overarching narrative, culminating in this “Putin equals Hitler” caricature that is constantly pushed. The problem with situations like this is the division between the real world — the so-called conspiracy theory — and the fake world of narrative, which I call the “world of the naive.” This is perfectly exemplified in this short video with Biden.

Biden says he’ll shut down Nord Stream 2 pipeline if Russia further invades Ukraine

No Description

President Joe Biden:

“If Russia invades — that means tanks or troops crossing the border of Ukraine again — then there will no longer be a Nord Stream 2. We will bring an end to it.”

Reporter:

“How will you do that exactly, since the project and control of the project is within Germany’s control?”

President Joe Biden:

“I promise you, we will be able to do it.”

Now, this reporter is a person living in that “world of the naive” I am talking about. She believes the West is the good guys and swallows all that other absurd lies I fight against in my posts. She doesn’t understand that she is part of what I call “Our Western Capitalist Empire of Evil,” which is responsible for most of the evil in this screwed-up world, all hidden under a narrative, a fake history, a false reality. Most people in the world believe in this fake world; this “world of the naive” is the mental prison I am trying to fight.

Germany is part of the West and part of NATO, a so-called ally of America; according to the worldview representing “world of the naive”, nations are independent, so America supposedly couldn’t simply destroy Nord Stream and forbid cooperation with Russia. To solve that problem, Project Ukraine was launched. You need a story because you can’t simply tell people to hate Russia and tell Germany to follow American orders like a vassal. After all, Germany is an “ally” of America, not a vassal. I have discussed this with people when I stated that the West doesn’t have allies, only vassals. People who argue otherwise live in the “world of the naive” I am talking about, just like the journalist interviewing Biden.

To ensure people like this journalist can keep living in blissful ignorance of the horrible things done in their name, Project Ukraine had to be executed. The project is not so much about Ukraine as a country, but about Ukraine as a story, as a narrative. Everything is crafted so we can spin it to make the other side the bad guy, keeping the consciences of people in the West clean while they do evil things. This was the only way to break the German-Russian relationship, and only by turning Putin into Hitler could they force Germany to sever its ties with Russia. After all, Germany cannot cooperate with a modern Hitler in the form of Putin.

Project Ukraine is not about Ukraine; even if Ukraine fails, America still achieves its goal of dividing Germany and Russia and subjugating Europe. America wins no matter the outcome of the Ukrainian conflict, as long as they can maintain the “Putin equals Hitler” narrative that bans cooperation between Germany and Russia. The narrative is more important than Ukraine itself. The West even hopes that Russia will take all of Ukraine, but Russia knows this and doesn’t want to play into the West’s hands. Even if Russia takes all of Ukraine, as long as the Americans can maintain this lie and narrative about the Ukrainian conflict and the “Putin equals Hitler” nonesense, they still win. Ukraine doesn’t matter nearly as much as the narrative connected to it.

Now, understand why they need this: most people in our societies are good. If people truly understood how the world works and what is done in their names, they would burn down the whole system and tear our entire ruling class limb from limb. I realized this when I was pondering the human mind, the Nazis, and the Holocaust. I am Polish and I live close to the Auschwitz concentration camp; I visited it twice with my school when I was a kid. I was a different kind of kid, not normal one; at around 12-years old while other kids were playing and having fun, I was debating the existence of God with a priest. Seeing Auschwitz really scared me and made me think about the human mind, the human condition, and God.

I once wrote that the Third World is our Western Auschwitz/Jewish Ghetto. What scared me with Nazis wasn’t cruelty, but the scientific apathy exemplified in scientific and capitalist attitudes toward extermination. People don’t understand what was truly terrifying about Nazi Germany: it wasn’t evil itself, but the banality of evil. What Japan did during World War II was far worse than what Germany ever did, but funnily enough, we never talk about what Japan did — only about what Germany did. I suppose it’s because Germany did it to white people, while Japan did worse things to yellow people, so it doesn’t shock us in the same way. But of course, there is no institutional racism in the West, nor any such thing as orientalism, which I have written about many times before.

Things like the Nanking Massacre (the Rape of Nanking) or the Katyn massacre were also evil, just like Auschwitz, but atrocities like the Rape of Nanking and Katyn have always happened throughout history, whereas Auschwitz exemplifies a unique apathy and banality of evil. The whole Nazi narrative is so similar to what we have now in the West. While you can say that during World War II Japan was an evil country, the problem with Germany wasn’t just overt evil, but how its actions showed the banality of evil.

What people don’t understand is that if you walked the streets of Nazi Germany, talked to an average German citizen, pointed to the Jewish ghetto and the suffering Jews, and asked why they lived like that, the average German citizen would simply say it’s because they are inherently worse, that they had the same rights and chances as Germans, but they are lazy and stupid — which is why they ended up like that. So basically, you would hear the same thing we hear today from Israel about Palestinians: “Israel doesn’t oppress and exploit Palestine and Gaza; the people living there are simply worse.” And if you are a Westerner like me, don’t look down on Israelis too harshly, because if you ask Western people why Africa and the rest of the Third World suffer, what answer do you get? “Oh, those stupid, lazy people in Africa — they suffer so much only because they are worse than us Westerners, right?”

“We are strangers to all tribal and national hatred. Freedom fighters of all countries and nations are our brothers. We know how to pay homage to any great thought, in whatever language it was born; we know how to honor any poet and thinker, regardless of the nation that produced them.”

– Józef Piłsudski (Source: On the occasion of Pushkin’s jubilee, “Robotnik” No. 31, June 4, 1899.)

We Poles are Slavs — the word “slave” possibly comes from “Slav,” which is disputed, but still, we Slavs were the first slaves of the West, the first to be exploited by the West. Because of that, we see things like this event in Haiti.

The Polish Soldiers Who Switched Sides to Fight for Haitian Freedom

No Description

 

To show you the evil empire that those Poles in Haiti opposed, let’s get this fact straight:

Under U.S. government control, a total of forty percent of Haiti’s national income was designated to repay debts to American and French banks. Haiti would pay its final indemnity remittance to National City Bank in 1947, with the United Nations reporting that at that time, Haitians were “often close to the starvation level”

Haiti paid the independence indemnity for 122 years, from 1825 to 1947.

OUR WONDERFUL F*CK*NG WEST MADE HAITI PAY REPARATIONS FOR BECOMING FREE AND STARVED THAT F*CK*NG NATION FOR 122 YEARS. But when I call the West our “Western Capitalist Empire of Evil,” I’m not being objective, right? The West oppresses the rest of the world, and people in the West benefit from the system, but they are entirely unaware of all the suffering inflicted on the Third World — just as citizens of Nazi Germany were completely unaware of what was really happening in the Jewish ghettos and Auschwitz. In both cases — citizens of Nazi Germany and citizens of the modern West — we were told a story that we are not at fault, and we believed it. We in the West / Nazi Germany / Israel live better than those people in the Third World / Jews / Arabs because we are simply better, right?

“Krista asks, ‘What is it about society that disappoints you so much?’

Elliot thinks, ‘Oh I don’t know, is it that we collectively thought Steve Jobs was a great man even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?

Or maybe it’s that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit; the world itself’s just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our burning commentary of b*llsh*t masquerading as insight, our social media faking as intimacy.

Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money.

I’m not saying anything new. We all know why we do this, not because Hunger Games books makes us happy but because we wanna be sedated. Because it’s painful not to pretend, because we’re cowards.

F*ck Society.’”

This quote talks about the exact same thing I am writing about right now. Why does he say we voted for it with our money? Because we benefited from it and didn’t question it. Why does he call us cowardly? Because we were fed a story that we are the good guys — a story that makes us feel good about ourselves — and we preferred not to question it, because questioning it would mean questioning whether we are actually good. It’s cowardly to believe a lie just to make yourself feel good. I used to be just as upset as the main character of this show, and he really reminded me of myself before I understood the human mind.

People always say to me that those in power don’t care what we think because people don’t care anyway. This is nihilistic talk, and it is incorrect. To quote the great Michael Parenti again:

I want to point out that in every class society that has ever existed, the ruling elements do not rule nakedly. They always adorn their rule with myths, themes, and symbols to justify their privileged position at the apex of the social pyramid. The one percent spins its self-legitimating myths; as I said, no ruling class rules nakedly. All of them make strenuous efforts to justify their rule.

I tell students when they say, ‘Oh, they don’t care what we think, they ignore us and all that,’ I say, ‘Oh, no, no, that’s the only thing they care about regarding you — what you’re thinking.’ They don’t care if you eat correctly, they don’t care about your living conditions, and they don’t care that they’ve built up an inhuman and irrational traffic system that is strangulating us and polluting our air. They don’t care about any of that. The only thing about you they care about is what you are thinking.

Most people are not sociopaths; they possess empathy, and because of this, the entire “world of the naive” needs to be created. Just as they did in Nazi Germany, making people believe it’s not their fault so they can have a clear conscience, you need to create a fake world of lies that constitutes this “world of the naive” to keep the consciences of the empire’s citizens clean and prevent any moral movement to oppose the empire. We in the West are behind most of the illegal drug trade, prostitution, illegal arms trade, slave trade, and basically all illegal activities — because, after all, the black market is still a market, we are capitalists, and the CIA needs its black budget so it can do things in ways we don’t know about, sparing our consciences.

I wish there were comments under videos because I had to leave out so much stuff and I am sure people have questions that would help me extend an explanation of my mental model of how things work. I had to leave out details like the killing of Polish President Kaczyński and many other things. There are so many things I could write and explain if people could just ask in the comments. I really miss debating in the comments and having the ability to expand my mental model and debate my ideas.

Thank you to everyone who stuck with me until the end of this post. And, as always…
