The Watchman On The Wall
Eph 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Verse 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Watchman Report March 4, 2022 "Russian Group Aims to Lead Global White Supremacist Terror Movement"

St. Petersburg’s Russian Imperial Movement has trained foreign saboteurs

Last May, Attorney General Merrick Garland told a Senate hearing that “racially or ethnically motivated violent extremists” posed the most dangerous domestic threat to the United States.”  And to make sure the lawmakers knew exactly who he was talking about, Garland added: “Specifically those who advocate for the superiority of the white race.”


A month later, the Biden administration unveiled a national strategy to fight the nation’s white supremacist and nationalist militia groups, requesting Congress provide the Justice Department more than $100 million to hire more investigators, intelligence analysts and prosecutors. The administration also sought more resources for the State Department to investigate ties between American white supremacist groups and the growing number of neo-Nazi organizations in Europe and Russia. 

But nearly a year later, the administration’s legal offensive against white supremacists at home and abroad is moving at a snail’s pace, due to a lack of staff and a thicket  of bureaucratic red tape stemming from privacy and free-speech concerns, according to Verified, a sobering investigative podcast produced by the Scripps news organization.

In a recently released six-part series, Mark Greenblatt, the Scripps Washington Bureau’s senior national investigative correspondent, dives deep into an evolving global network of violent white supremacist groups. 

He introduces listeners to the Russian Imperial Movement, a virulently anti-Semitic, anti-immigrant organization that is actively working with neo-Nazi groups and individuals around the world in a push for global white Christian power. 

Greenblatt says that while the group is not sponsored by the Russian state, it has allegedly recruited and trained Russians to fight on the side of pro-Russian militias in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. The group seeks a purely white Christian Russia, ruled once again by an authoritarian monarchy, preferably one headed by a descendant of the Romanovs, who held the throne until their overthrow and murder during the 1917 Bolshevik revolution.

In 2020, the State Department designated the Russian Imperial Movement as a foreign terrorist organization, the first and only time that a white supremacist group has earned the label.

The designation, which has been most frequently used for Islamist extremists, requires the Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign assets Control to seize any American property or assets belonging to the group. It also prohibits Americans from having any financial dealings with the organization and bans its members from traveling to the United States.

In one of the podcast’s highlights, Greenblatt interviews Stanislav Vorobyev, the leader of the Russian Imperial Movement. Vorobyev, a lawyer, military veteran and devout follower of the Russian Orthodox Church, was labeled an individual terrorist when the State Department designated his organization as a terrorist group.

Despite his terrorist designation, Vorobyev tells Greenblatt his organization is still in contact with American white supremacists, though he declined to name them, and is making inroads across Europe and Australia. His goal, he tells Greenblatt, is to unite white Christian all over the world for what he calls “the Last Crusade,” named after the European Christian military expeditions to the Holy Land during the Middle Ages to drive out the Muslims. 

While such plans sound delusional, Greenblatt notes this comes as Avril Haines, the director of National Intelligence, takes seriously the influence that such groups have on American white supremacists. Last year, she warned that the nation’s white supremacists are the domestic extremists “with the most persistent and concerning transnational connections” and hence “most likely to conduct mass-casualty attacks against civilians.” 

Terrorism Training Camp

In his interview with Greenblatt, Vorobyev, speaking through a translator, confirms the group runs two training camps outside St. Petersburg where, for just $500, white supremacist militants and neo-Nazis from Russia, Europe and the United States—in fact, anyone, including would-be Islamist terrorists—can come for a week-long course to learn rural and urban assault techniques, tactical weapons, and hand-to-hand combat.

Two Swedish members of the neo-Nazi Nordic Resistance Movement who trained at the camps later went on to bomb several refugee centers in Sweden in 2017. They were convicted and sent to prison. The State Department cited their training in its terrorist designation of Vorobyev and his group. 

Greenblatt also points listeners to an earlier U.S. government counter-terrorism strategy from 2018 that describes what it calls “a broad range of revolutionary nationalist and separatist movements overseas whose use of violence and intent to destabilize societies often puts American lives at risk.”

The document cites the Nordic Resistance Movement, which it describes as “a prominent transnational, self-described nationalist socialist organization with anti-Western views that has conducted violent attacks against Muslims, left wing groups and others.” It adds, “The group has demonstrated against the United States government actions it perceives are supportive of Israel and has the potential to extend its targeting to United States interests.”

The Verified podcast, produced by PBS veteran Sean Powers, edited by former NPR stalwarts Susanne Reber and Ellen Weiss, and hosted by Pulitzer Prize winner Natasha Del Toro, adds some of its own reporting about the group, describing how its podcast, with more than 200 episodes targeting English-speaking audiences, acts as an effective global amplifier of white supremacist ideology by spreading its anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, and anti-American ideas to its listeners. The Verified team reports that U.S. intelligence agencies are worried that such ideas threaten to inspire white supremacist groups and individials in the United States to attack immigrants and minority targets at home.

The American Connection

The Verified podcast plays a portion of one of those episodes featuring Matthew Heimbach, a prominent American white nationalist and neo-Nazi. He lauds the Swedish group for “the inspiration you provide that you are on the front lines fighting the struggle. And we're fighting the same enemy on the same barricades, and it inspires us.”

In the last episode of the Verified podcast, Greenblatt asks Hillary Johnson, a senior U.S. counter-terrorism official, why the Nordic Resistance Movement still hasn’t been designated a foreign terrorist organization, despite the fact that it was named in both the 2018 and Biden’s administration’s strategies. At first, Johnson describes the high legal bar on constitutional protections of free speech and privacy that the State Department must clear before such a designation can be made. But she finally tells Greenblatt the biggest obstacle.  

“It's hard to do designations,” she tells him. “I've got a great designations team. . .  they would love to be able to deploy this tool everywhere,” she says. But “we just don't have the resources and staff and the information.” 

Left unsaid is the fact that Senate Republicans blocked Garland’s funding request for Biden’s strategy against domestic extremist violence. They accused Democrats of politicizing the issue by describing the violent white supremacist groups that stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 last year as coming from the far right.

But the Verified podcast provides compelling evidence for Republicans to recognize the foreign white supremacist extremism that threatens to incite further racist violence here at home, and to put the country’s security ahead of their concerns for the party’s political image.  

For Greenblatt, the son of a Holocaust survivor and grandson of a Jewish man who fled from Russia to the United States at the end of the 19th century to escape czarist pogroms, his encounters with Vorobyev and neo-Nazis who praise Hilter’s slaughter of six million Jews, including members of his own family, was a profoundly disturbing experience.

“People need to be talking about what's going on in the world of white supremacy,” Greenblatt says. “We have met someone who is labeled as a terrorist in today's modern day society who wants to bring about the same kind of society that my great granddad ran away from.”

Watchman Report March 4, 2022 "Gold At 2 Year High. Gold Up 6% In February"






Goldman Sachs: Gold Price To Hit $2,150 On Russian Invasion, 'Very High Inflation Path'

Monday February 28, 2022 15:53

As the West steps up sanctions against Russia in the aftermath of a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Goldman Sachs raised its commodities price forecasts, citing supply disruptions and an even more problematic inflation outlook.

The commodities to pay close attention to are the ones Russia is a major producer of — oil, gas, aluminum, palladium, nickel, wheat and corn.

Gold is another safe-haven commodity that is due for a much bigger rally going forward, according to Goldman.

"The recent escalation with Russia create clear stagflationary risks to the broader economy, driven by higher energy prices, which reinforce our conviction in higher gold prices in coming months and our $2,150/toz (troy ounce) price target," Goldman said.

Goldman explained that gold would play a central role in this conflict as Russia turns to the precious metal for leverage amid sanctions. Russia's gold reserves total 2,298.53 tonnes, according to World Gold Council.

"Gold's unique role as the currency of last resort will likely be apparent if restrictions on Russia's central bank accessing its offshore reserves leave it leveraging its large domestic gold stockpiles to continue foreign trade, most likely with China," the bank said.

From the macro perspective, Goldman raised its inflation outlook, stating that it is "increasingly concerned" about the pace of inflation in 2022. "A very high inflation path in 2022 should make an easy case for steady rate hikes at all seven remaining" Federal Reserve meetings in 2022, said Goldman economist David Mericle said in another note to clients.
WSJ MarketWatch: Gold Settles Back Above $1,900 As Sanctions Hit Russia, Fueling A Rush Into ‘Precious Havens’

Feb. 28, 2022

Gold up nearly 6% in February, largest monthly rise since May

Gold futures shot higher on Monday, with prices settling back above $1,900 after the U.S. and its allies added new sanctions against Russia over the weekend as a result of its invasion of Ukraine last week.

“If there is no de-escalation between the West and Russia, there will be a surge of physical investment demand into precious metals as a rush into precious safe havens explodes,” said Peter Spina, president and chief executive officer at GoldSeek.com, noting that Russia is also among the world’s biggest gold producers.

Still, gold prices may see “some selling pressures from some liquidity needs, so you will see some volatility,” Spina told MarketWatch. “It is difficult to trade this market in the short term,” but investors buying with a “longer-term focus will do quite well.”

“It is difficult to trade this market in the short term…. Investors buying with a longer-term focus will do quite well.”

— Peter Spina, GoldSeek.com

He said that while it’s “very difficult to make a solid call short-term call,” gold may “see a huge price explosion to the upside at any moment,” given that there are so many risks at the moment.
 
Russian’s Invasion of Ukraine Pushes Hedge Funds Into Gold

Monday February 28, 2022 17:02

For the third straight week, hedge funds and money managers have been buying gold at a steady pace placing bullish bets in the precious metal to hedge against growing geopolitical uncertainty and the rising inflation threat, according to the latest data from the Commodity Futures Trading Commission.

Commodity analysts at Société Générale said that last week the gold market saw bullish inflows of $6 billion. They noted that this was the fifth strongest week of inflows on record.

"A few days before the Ukraine invasion, gold was supported by Russia's continued military build-up, despite Putin's commitments to not invade its neighbor. On Feb. 21, Russia recognized two separatist republics in eastern Ukraine, triggering safe-haven flows to gold on uncertainties about an open conflict.

Since last week's survey, gold prices pushed to a nearly 2-year high to $1,976.50 an ounce but were unable to hold those gains.

"Certainly, safe-haven flows have contributed to the strong price action, helping to fuel the rise in non-commercial longs, but the outsized increase in the money manager longs component also supports our findings that CTAs likely added longs into the rally.

Safe-haven demand is also flowing into the silver market as hedge funds increased their bullish bets and covered their short positions, pushing prices above the psychological $24 an ounce level.

Following the survey period, silver prices shot to a six-month high of $25.705. Although silver prices have given up a lot of those gains, prices have held support above $24 an ounce.

Watchman Report March 4, 2022 "Is Ukraine A Vital U.S. Interest?"

 


UKRAINE IS NOT A VITAL U.S. STRATEGIC INTEREST

Did you know the U.S. Buys $1 billion in Russian fertilizer each year! We can't grow crops without fertilizer.

Friday - March 4, 2022

 

"Ukraine's independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve.... Indeed, had we given Putin assurances that NATO was closed to Kyiv, we might have prevented what has happened, because that was the first and most insistent of Putin's demands."


When Hungarian rebels arose in 1956 to overthrow the Communist regime imposed by Joseph Stalin, President Dwight Eisenhower refused to send U.S. forces to aid the Hungarians.

Ike would not take America to war with Russia over a small country in Central Europe.

While the Hungarians were heroic and inspirational, Hungary was neither a member of NATO nor a vital U.S. interest. Moreover, it was on the Soviet side of the Yalta line dividing Europe, and agreed to by Franklin D. Roosevelt, Joseph Stalin and Winston Churchill at Yalta in 1945.

For similar reasons today, President Joe Biden has refused to send U.S. troops, ships or planes to attack Russian forces invading Ukraine.

Though a nation of 44 million and almost as large as Texas, Ukraine is neither a vital U.S. interest nor a member of NATO.

However, were Russian President Vladimir Putin to invade Estonia, whose population is 3% of Ukraine's, America would be obligated to go to war with Russia.

Does this disparity make strategic sense?

Should not America have the same freedom of action to decide whether to fight for Estonia as we do to decide whether to fight for Ukraine? After all, Ukraine is far larger and more populous and strategic.

In 1948, President Harry Truman refused to use force to break Stalin's Berlin Blockade. In 1956, Eisenhower refused to intervene to save Hungary. In 1961, President John F. Kennedy refused to use force to stop the building of the Berlin Wall.

In 1968, President Lyndon Johnson refused to intervene when the USSR invaded Czechoslovakia to crush the pro-democracy "Prague Spring."


Yet, today, America's leaders do not have the same freedom not to act as did Truman, Eisenhower, Kennedy and Johnson. We are obligated to act. Why?

Because, since the end of the Cold War, we have expanded the membership of NATO, and there are now 28 nations of Europe we are obligated to defend if they are attacked.

Ukraine is not one of them, but five of them that border Russia or Ukraine — Romania, Slovakia, Poland, Latvia and Estonia — are currently providing Stinger or Javelin missiles to Ukraine to destroy Russian tanks, down Russian aircraft, and kill Russian soldiers in Ukraine.

If Putin retaliated against any of these countries for these arms transfers that are killing Russian soldiers, the U.S. would be obligated, under Article 5 of NATO, to fight Russia on behalf of these NATO nations.

Article 5 automatically conscripts the United States into a war with Russia, if Moscow retaliates against a NATO nation providing weapons to kill Russian soldiers.

Why have we willingly tied our own hands in this manner?

During 40 years of Cold War, America remained secure while East Germany, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were all under Moscow's control.

These nations are all free today as a result of the West's victory in the Cold War. But why do all these nations have war guarantees from the United States when none of them, as the Cold War demonstrated, is a vital interest of the USA?

Why, after the Cold War ended in 1991, did we agree to fight a war with Russia, including a nuclear war, on their behalf when 40 years of Cold War demonstrated they were not essential to our security?

Today, by our refusal to intervene militarily in Ukraine, to slow or halt this Russian invasion, we are sending a message to the world.

That message?

Ukraine's independence is not vital to the United States. While a desirable goal, it is not worth our fighting a war with Russia to preserve.

Moreover, the independence of Ukraine is not worth the risk of using U.S. planes to establish a no-fly zone for Russian planes in the skies over Ukraine.

Indeed, had we given Putin assurances that NATO was closed to Kyiv, we might have prevented what has happened, because that was the first and most insistent of Putin's demands.

The heroic rhetoric we are hearing from our political and media leaders aside, the real message sent to Ukraine by our own and NATO's actions and inaction is this:

We will send you weapons, but we are not sending our troops, and we are not going to fight your war for you, or beside you, unless and until we decide that it is in our vital interest to do so.

Fortunately, we had not brought Ukraine into NATO, nor given Kyiv a war guarantee that obligated us to risk everything for a nation deemed not vital to us.

Those who prevented the U.S. from realizing former President George W. Bush's ambition to bring Ukraine and Georgia into NATO may have saved us from a war with Russia in which both of us could have suffered horribly.

Whether we go to war for a nation that was formerly part of the Soviet bloc should be a matter for decision by the Americans of that day and time — not mandated, not dictated by our signature on a 73-year-old treaty, devised for another era and another world.

Watchman Report March 4, 2022 "Ukraine - Part 3 Where Does this Fit in the Big Scheme"

 


UKRAINE PART 3

Ladies & Gentlemen,

As noted before, this is related to global financial events - the "reset", if I may.

The financial aspects are a key "gear" in the machine to control this 3D world.  It came up a little quicker than I expected, but Russia has legislation, pending, before its Duma to go back to a gold standard.  This news was readily available on Thursday 03/03/22.  This morning on MSM, it was essentially ignored in early morning broadcasts.  That tells me the cabal did not either 1) expect it yet, or 2) plan well enough to initiate it (or both).

In many physical machines a gear can drive more than one mating gear.  This situation in Ukraine is no different.  Remember the currency in Zimbabwe is now tied to gold!  See here...https://dinarrecaps.com/our-blog/pir-update-zimbabwe-is-now-on-the-gold-standard-7-1-2020.  Zimbabwe functioned as a pilot project.  Do you remember their past currency problems?  How was that possible given their potential?  See here...https://allafrica.com/stories/201808080147.html .  They have been controlled by the Cabal, just like Taiwan.

This gear is part of the Awakening machine.  We are in a war that is not only a world war, but a worlds war.  This war is on more than just the 3D world plane.  I am not talking in theoretical religious terms.  Think in terms of irregular warfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irregular_warfare, asymmetric warfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asymmetric_warfare, hybrid warfare https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_warfare.  

The divide and conquer MSM disinformation machine will talk in terms of nation state against nation state.  This is not that, it is good versus evil.  Each country has a cabal/deep state opposition.  Putin has enemies internally in Russia.  Is that why Joe Biden said "go get him" at the end of the SOTU address?  Is that directly related to Lindsay Graham's comment about Brutus?  The US defined irregular warfare as "a violent struggle among state and non-state actors for legitimacy and influence over the relevant populations."  The forces of good, or white hats, have modified the definition to apply to international/multinational organizations vs non-state actors.  The multinationals must react and respond with modified rules of engagement that are not yet written.  This is much like US forces reacting to insurgents who are more agile.  How does a good actor change the rules with asymmetrical tools?  How about destroying the SWIFT system by introducing this world's strongest currency - a gold backed Russian Ruble?  What hybrid element could be introduced to further expose the cabal?  How about the good actors use nation state level, well established intelligence assets [Russian FSB assets for example] to disclose US/UK/SA/Cabal secrets like 911 attacks, election fraud, or such things? Now Russian intelligence has the justification to use such assets and "sell it" to their not yet awake peers. Previously there were unwritten rules about what could be disclosed. Those rules were in part constructed by the cabal. The gatekeepers of such rules will have a hard time enforcing the rules if an existential threat is perceived from outside Russia.

Is the supply chain mess an organic event from a viral health crisis (regardless of how real or planned the viral health crisis was) or was it, in and of itself crafted in a gear of the reset machine.  Wait and read that again.  I assert the "chip" shortage, for example was completely planned and executed for a purpose and was never the result of anything.  In 2019 what was the production capacity of "chips" world wide?  What happened, specifically, to reduce this capacity?  The simple answer is absolutely nothing.  Another question: even if there was a shutdown due to the reaction to a viral health crisis, what is the recovery time for the production infrastructure to fully recover and make up for lost time?  Answer: much shorter than the yet to complete recovery has taken.

Is this the big scare event?  We will see, and it does not matter.

This war we are in will not play out quickly and follow a biblical timeline with nice neat bow on top at the end of it.  This may be a big event, but it is not the end.

Fear not,………..D
