Transcript for 11/12/24: POLITICAL PURGATORY W/ JAMES PONDER

As another US general election ritual is over, it ought to be clear by now that the only vote you could have given was a non-partisan vote of ‘no confidence.’ No vote at all: Voting for a major politician is a vote for your own ball-and-chain existence.

Governments don’t govern; they are merely vehicles taking top-down waves of order/instruction from their lords and masters, the covertly controlling/operating deep state or shadow government.

That’s why, be it domestic or foreign, every major direction taken follows the same narrative regardless of country or political orientation. Understanding the narrative predicts the directions to what would otherwise be inexplicable random events

I know we all hope that Trump stands up to the cronies of the New World Order but we are now in a political purgatory.

We are in a gap between the election and certification of the vote which will be yet another tricky moment in U.S. history. From now until January 20th -- big things appear to be in the wings.

The fact that North Korean troops are now involved in the war in Ukraine has gotten a tremendous amount of attention. Apparently, these North Korean troops are actually “wearing Russian uniforms”

NATO officials are absolutely furious that North Korean troops are being introduced into this conflict, and they want to take things to the next level.

They will undoubtedly be putting pressure on Trump to take action, and we shall see what Trump decides to do.

The Russians are going to try to take as much territory as they can before winter officially begins.

Once snow starts piling up everywhere, it will become much more difficult to maneuver.

I don't know if you heard the propaganda coming form the Trump camp -- but there are things going around the internet about how after the election -- Vladimir Putin had called in and told Trump that it is time to end the Ukrainian war -- that peace can be achieved and that Trump is the only one to bring it to the world.

But the Kremlin is denying that any of this happened. It is saying the call didn’t even take place. Putin spokesman Dmitry Peskov blasted the Post report as “pure fiction” and said that currently there are no plans for the Russian president to speak to Trump.

It sounded bit premature as we still have President Biden in the Whitehouse -- and that now there seems to be a quick and sudden escalation in the war between Russia and Ukraine. 

Now that Donald Trump has won the election, he is going to have to deal with Vladimir Putin and Russia, and that isn’t going to be easy. 

The Russians have no incentive to end the conflict because they are steadily gobbling up territory in eastern Ukraine. As long as the Russians are making progress toward achieving their goals, why would they want to stop? 

The Wall Street Journal is reporting that Trump’s peace plan for Ukraine envisages the creation of an 800-mile demilitarized zone that would be patrolled by Europeans.

In the meantime, this has somehow triggered an urgency to enact Russia’s nearly 1000-day-long struggle to achieve its maximum goals in this conflict. 

The potential entrance of conventional Western/NATO forces into Ukraine as peacekeepers places Russia in the dilemma of accepting yet another “red line” being crossed or risking World War III by targeting them.

A DMZ between Russia and Ukraine means that the war will not end and that there will always be a threat that one may attack the other. 

On the other side, the Ukrainians will never agree to any peace agreement that allows the Russians to keep all of the territories that they have already taken, but the Ukrainians are losing even more ground with each passing day. 

Of course most members of Congress and our NATO allies want to keep fighting until Russia is defeated, but escalating the war creates cold ware paranoia that includes the nuclear option -- something that we have heard all to well --as threats continue to come form Russian warlords.

As we wait to see what Trump will do once he takes office, the Russians have gathered a force of 50,000 troops to push the Ukrainians completely out of the Kursk region.

Russia and Ukraine launched record drone attacks on each other despite a phone call reported by the Washington Post from US president-elect Donald Trump urging Russian President Vladimir Putin not to escalate the conflict.

Ukrainian authorities issued air raid alerts in most of the country on Monday, as Kyiv's air force confirmed the takeoff of Russian bombers.

Trump's election to the White House has the potential to upend the almost three-year war and has thrown into question Washington's multi-billion dollar support for Kyiv, crucial to its defense.

However, the Washington Post had stated that Trump and Putin were on the phone call in which he told Putin not to inflame the attritional war.

Trump reminded Putin of Washington's sizeable military foothold in Europe from his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida, according to the Post over the weekend

The Kremlin had earlier said it saw "positive signals" from Trump's willingness to strike a deal, and several people speaking to the US paper said Trump had expressed the desire for more conversations on "the resolution of Ukraine's war soon".

Trump also spoke by phone with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Sunday and the pair "agreed to work together towards a return to peace in Europe", according to Scholz's spokesman.

Trump will not be inaugurated until January and for the moment on the battlefield and in the skies, the conflict shows no signs of subsiding.

Just afterwards it seemed that everything took a turn for the worst.

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and French President Emmanuel Macron are asking US President Joe Biden to allow Kiev strike targets deep inside Russia with Western weapons.

The leaders of the UK and France are making a “last ditch attempt” to secure a policy change by the outgoing President Biden to “thwart Donald Trump’s efforts to scale back US support for Ukraine.” 

Is this an all out effort by world leaders to sabotage any attempts at bringing the war to something worse so that Trump will have a difficult time de escalating the conflict?

Yes, apparently.

It was reported in the British paper, The Telegraph that sources stated:

”We are very keen to make sure we can make the most of the time between now and January 20 and not just put everything on hold until the next administration.”

What kind of vampires are in charge of the World Order that has to escalate chaos in order to thwart the efforts of a new administration.

Isn't it obvious that the denizens of the Great Reset are ruthless and wish to compromise the safety of the planet for their evil agenda?

Trump claimed on the campaign trail that he could end the Ukraine conflict “in 24 hours” if elected for a second term. He reportedly intends to play hardball with both sides, forcing Kiev and Moscow to compromise.

This won't happen with an out of control European Union/ and a psychotic NATO pulling the strings.

Meanwhile people are dying and there is still that sword of Damocles hanging over our heads which is a limited Nuclear event.

Kiev claims that it could turn the tide on the battlefield by striking targets deep inside Russia with Western long-range weapons. At the weekend, it launched dozens of kamikaze drones at Moscow for the first time in months, but failed to cause any meaningful damage, according to Russian officials.

Western missiles are more powerful than Ukrainian drones and can produce better results, Zelensky has previously argued, explaining why he is seeking permission from donors for such strikes.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that his government would treat any attacks along the lines envisioned by Kiev and its backers as coming from the state that provides the arms. Moscow will react to any such an escalation accordingly.

We all know what that means... this is out of control, and it is under the direction of the globalist mobs.

Deputy Chairman of Russia's Federation Council, Dmitry Medvedev, said today that European leaders are pushing the Russia-Ukraine conflict to an irreversible stage, and as such "the worst case scenario remains the most likely.

Medvedev stated:

“After Trump’s victory, European leaders seem to be having a “fall exacerbation.” The goal is to push the conflict with Russia into an irreversible phase. One moment, a Frenchman crows about supporting Kyiv if America steps back; the next, NATO officials pontificate on how to intensify the war against us.

Now, German chancellor candidate Merz has issued an ultimatum to Russia: either end the Special Military Operation (SMO) or, the next day, he’ll send the Ukrainians German Taurus missiles. It’s clear that such “ultimatums” are merely election tactics. It’s also clear that these missiles won’t fundamentally change the course of combat. Their delivery would only prolong the agony of the Bandera regime. But, the risk of escalating the conflict to its most dangerous stage with missile strikes increases many times over. Our President has warned about this.

Frankly, it’s astounding how much the current generation of European politicians seems determined to drag the war onto their own territory—to the clear delight of the Americans and against the wishes of their own people. The “vaccine” of World War II has completely lost its effect. Experienced, or even simply wise, European leaders have faded into history. They’ve been replaced by trivial figures with inflated self-importance. And so, the worst-case scenario remains the most likely.”

Medevev is being obvious, what is the deal with a last minute escalation and why are NATO and the EU trying to make this war irreversible?

Things don't add up -- unless this is sabotage to guarantee that no deal will be met --and Trump walks away defeated.

How could Trump reverse a Nuclear conflict, and why doesn’t Biden step in and try and de escalate the war? 

Because it is not meant to be won -- it is meant to spread. 

Outgoing Joe Biden is looking to send the last of more than $6 billion in U.S. security aid for Kyiv before Trump's January 20 inauguration.

Russia officially aims to: demilitarize Ukraine; de-nazify it; and restore its constitutional neutrality, among other supplementary and informal goals

Even though a new escalation in drone warfare is now happening it has been noted that e, Putin has repeatedly refused to reciprocally escalate in response to egregious Ukrainian provocations like its bombing of the Kremlin, early warning systems, strategic airfields, oil refineries, and residential buildings, et al, all due to him not wanting the conflict to spiral out of control. For as responsible of an approach as this is, the drawback is that it created the perception that he might accept the crossing of even more “red lines”, including conventional Western/NATO forces in Ukraine.

Putin’s aversion to escalation might therefore be exploited by Trump, who was reportedly handed a plan in June advising him to give Ukraine whatever it wants if Russia refuses whatever peace deal he proposes, ergo the high likelihood of a conventional Western/NATO intervention to decisively freeze the conflict. Trump’s track record of “escalating to de-escalate” with North Korea and Iran suggests that he’d also go through with this plan against Russia, hence why it should take this scenario seriously.

Provided that Putin lacks the political will to risk an unprecedented escalation by targeting those conventional Western/NATO forces, and his behavior thus far in response to other provocations suggests that this is indeed the case, then he’ll have to race against the clock to achieve his maximum goals. It’ll still take some time for the US to get key stakeholders like Poland on board, where 69% of the public is against dispatching troops to Ukraine in any capacity, so this likely won’t happen by mid-January.

Russia is not about to achieve its goals -- but perhaps those in the world positions of power wish to hijack the peace effort by not giving it any intention to breathe.

the common theme is that Russia’s inability to militarily coerce Zelensky into complying with its maximum goals greatly reduces the possibility that they’ll be achieved, which also holds true for the final one of obtaining control over all its new regions’ land. It’s unimaginable that Zelensky will voluntarily cede territory.

The only way in which Russia can achieve its maximum goals before the entrance of Western/NATO troops into Ukraine as peacekeepers is through military means, which would require another large-scale multi-pronged offensive of the sort that characterized the special operation’s early days. 

Even then, however, the high risk of once again overextending its military logistics, Ukraine will use their Stingers/Javelin missiles and thus risking reputational costs and even on-the-ground losses, will remain.

As such, there are really only three options left for Russia: 1) they can escalate now before Western/NATO troops enter Ukraine and either coerce Zelensky into agreeing to these demands or capture and hold enough land in order to demilitarize as much of the country as possible; 2) create an escalation after they enter at the risk of sparking a Cuban-like brinksmanship crisis that could spiral into World War III; or 3) accept the fait accompli of freezing the conflict along the Line of Contact and begin preparing the public accordingly.

Russia knows that the clock is ticking for achieving its maximum goals before Trump likely orders Western/NATO peacekeepers to enter Ukraine. The Kremlin is quiet for now precisely because policymakers have yet to decide what to do.

In the interval between presidential handover in January we may see the worst and the bloodiest part of the war -- we may see the real threats of a nuclear threatened Europe.

The world needs another disaster in order for them to move in and declare that the world needs new leadership and that we should abolish the systems we have in place now.

Legacy systems are not broken and yet the world body sees a need to destroy them and then replace them with their own systems that most definitely will make our lives harder and with less autonomy.

But we now can admit that 2024 was a year of war. But in 2025, military conflict will rock the entire globe.

The war in the Middle East could go to an apocalyptic level at any moment, China could soon decide to invade Taiwan, North Korea could soon decide to invade South Korea, and we are closer to nuclear war with Russia than we have ever been before.

We really are living at a time of “wars and rumors of wars”, and a tremendous amount of death and destruction is right around the corner.
