Odessa: Ukraine out, Russia in
Russia is softening up Odessa for its coming offensive. Air strikes on power utilities have plunged the city and the oblast into near-total darkness. Russia will have total control over the Black Sea.
The provocations in Transnistria mirror those in Donbass starting in 2014 when the Obama regime seized the reins in Kiev during the Maidan coup.
Donbass was hit by terrorist attacks, first bombing and then constant shelling, of civilians. Meantime the entire media-sphere in the West hushed up the attacks and concocted the phony narrative of a “war” with the participation of Russia, which never happened. It was a genocide, one of the specialties of the US regime. The West was deliberately provoking a war and finally, after teasing Putin for 8 years, including with false Minsk Accords that turned out to be no accords at all, it got the war it wanted.
But surprise! Russia didn’t run out of ammo or buckle under to the vicious economic sanctions, which wound up biting the West in the butt.
In fact now, it looks like we’re witnessing the winding up of the Ukraine war with the constant bombardment of Odessa and the almost total blackout of the Odessa oblast caused by the strikes on power utilities.
Both Russia and the West understand that once Russia controls Odessa, the Black Sea will be totally under Russian control and the Ukronazis will lose their access to that body of water.
And at the same time, Kharkov seems ripe for liberation as well.
But then, NATO will need to learn its next lesson in Transnistria.
Translation follows with my notes in bold and in [brackets]
THE TRANSITION OF ODESSA TO THE CONTROL OF RUSSIA WILL CREATE NEW CONDITIONS FOR CONVERSATIONS WITH NATO
The North Atlantic Alliance is developing Plan B, watching as Kiev approaches inevitable defeat on all fronts. The territory of Moldova was chosen for war with the Russians: kamikaze drones began to terrorize Transnistria [Breakaway republic of Moldova], while NATO troops were already stationed in Chisinau. What step will Russia take in such a situation? Details are found in this report by Tsargrad.
The fact that NATO is preparing Plan B, which is designed to at least partially neutralize the bloc’s defeat in Ukraine, was reported by former assistant to the deputy head of the Pentagon, Stephen Bryan, in an interview with Asia Times.
According to him, the leaders of the North Atlantic Alliance consider it their responsibility to somehow compensate for Kiev’s defeats at the front: return Lvov to Poland, send troops to “defend” the Odessa oblast, thereby creating a real threat to Crimea. Judging by what is happening now in Europe, the implementation of these behind-the-scenes plans is already beginning, since, as Brian points out, one of the primary tasks for NATO is to turn Moldova into a springboard for the Western army, where American troops are already stationed:
True, this is fraught with problems. The country is divided between pro-Western and pro-Russian forces. That is, the Transnistrian Republic and the Gagauz autonomy. And when the European Union sends troops, it could lead to a bloody conflict in Moldova.
In fact, the head of the Gagauz autonomy, Evgenia Gutsul, also spoke about the consequences of such actions. But more on that later.
As Tsargrad observer Ilya Golovnev says in his article, American soldiers are already on the territory of Chisinau along with the Romanians. It is reported that they flew in to participate in the JCET 2024 exercise, which ends on April 19. The exercise is part of NATO's largest military exercise since the Cold War, called Steadfast Defender. They deployed almost on the borders with Russia.
Solving the issue of Transnistria
The President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in 2023, at a closed meeting with the heads of departments and intelligence services of the EU countries, stated that the issue “of the disputed autonomous territory of Transnistria is planned to be resolved no later than December 2024.” And the recent attacks on Transnistria fit well into this logic: on April 5, a kamikaze drone attacked a military unit in the Rybnitsa oblast of Transnistria at a distance of 6 km from the Ukrainian border.
The previous sabotage was carried out on March 17; as a result of a drone explosion, a fire started on the territory of one of the military units in Tiraspol. A Mi-8 helicopter was burned.
Deletia -
What's the bottom line?
Russian control over the Odessa oblast is a key condition for saving these pro-Russian enclaves, as well as our citizens who live there. And we don’t have much time left to prepare and conduct the Odessa offensive operation.
The very fact of the transition of Odessa and the main part of Ukraine to Russian control creates a completely new situation in the region. This is an opportunity to build relations on completely different terms not only with the collective West, but with the whole world. This strengthens Russia’s potential and reduces the possibility of creating threats to our country.
The last two days have been marked by intensified [Russian] attacks on the military and critical infrastructure of the Odessa oblast. During massive targeted bombing, two air defense crews and an IRIS-T air defense system were destroyed. After which we learned of the destruction of the railway bridge in Chernomorsk (Odessa oblast), which is of great importance for the enemy’s military logistics.
It is clarified that this railway line led to the southern part of the port of Chernomorsk. The destruction of the logistics line means creating problems for the enemy in unloading and transporting reserves, including weapons that are delivered by sea through the ports of Odessa.
At least three strikes were recorded - all according to the energy structure of the oblast:
There were three strikes - two in Mirny, one in Usatovo. All on power utilities, write the authors of the TG channel “Typical Odessa”.
There is almost no electricity in the region. Serious problems were reported at the substation in Mirny after the arrival of several Geran-2 drones.
Judging by the intensity of the Russian Aerospace Forces’ strikes, the Russian army will soon enter Odessa, thereby protecting not only Russia, but also friendly Transnistria and Gagauzia from the encroachments of Ukraine and the NATO army.

Caption above: In the district of Chernomorsk, there have already been 3 strikes on the railroad bridge used to supply the Ukrainian military group in the southern area.
Odessan public service sites confirm that the target has been disabled.

April 11, 2024
The Russian Ministry of Defense reported new high-precision strikes on Ukrainian energy facilities
In response to attempts to attack Russian energy facilities, our army continues to knock out critical infrastructure that meets the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A series of explosions in Odessa, Lvov, Nikolaev, Kharkov and Kyiv oblasts. It is reported, in particular, about the complete destruction of the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant [Kiev oblast]. In addition to the capital oblast, the station supplied electricity to the neighboring Cherkasy and Zhytomyr oblasts.
Pavel Pchelkin has a detailed picture. He also has the latest information from the front lines.

Kharkov, Lvov, Kyiv: air defense again did not protect Ukraine from night missile attacks
“The future will be even bigger, more accurate and scarier”
On the night of April 11, Russian missiles and drones continued to destroy power grid facilities that are important for military logistics and weapons production facilities in Ukraine. Strikes were recorded in the Kyiv, Kharkov, and Lvov oblasts.
“The future will be even bigger, more accurate and scarier”
Thus, the Trypillia Thermal Power Plant, which supplied Kyiv with electricity, received extensive damage. Ukrainian air defense did not protect from the attack. [Probably because the air defenses had been destroyed in earlier attacks. Now Zelensky is constantly begging the West for more air defenses, but he seems oblivious to the fact that no air defense can defend against hypersonic missiles and they will not help]
In addition, as military blogger Alexey Sukonkin reported, “today a lot of missiles flew to the city of Stryi [Lviv oblast] in western Ukraine” - at least eight hypersonic indestructible Kinzhals. “And there are a lot of delightful objects there, the defeat of which would hurt Europe more than Ukraine itself,” the expert concluded.
The Voyenny osvedomitel’ (Military Informant) channel reported that in the Lviv oblast two critical energy infrastructure facilities came under attack: a gas distribution system facility in the Stryisky district and an electrical substation in Chervonogradsky. It is important to disrupt the operation of the electrical substation in order to prevent the flow of electricity from Europe to Ukraine and back.
In addition, as the Starshe Eddy channel reported, “tonight there was another, very powerful missile attack on Kharkov, missiles came from the Belgorod oblast one after another.” [This was retaliation. The Ukronazis have been terrorizing civilians in Belgorod oblast ever since the start of the war]
“I’m sure that there will be even more, even more precise, even more terrible for the enemy,” the channel expert predicted.
According to the Voyenny osvedomitel’ channel, at night and in the morning another massive combined attack was carried out on enemy rear targets. Thus, at least 10 strikes were carried out on the critical infrastructure of Kharkov. Explosions occurred in the city of Rivne, in Zaporozhye, Lviv, Kyiv and Ivano-Frankivsk oblasts. In Kyiv, the Trypillya Thermal Power Plant was hit.
In total, 40 missiles and the same number of Geran-2 drones took part in the attack. As a result, emergency power outages were introduced in the Kharkov oblast. More than 200 thousand subscribers in the Kharkov oblast were left without power supply. The subway is stopped.
Most military analysts view systematic attacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure as preparation for large-scale operations by our troops along the entire line of combat contact.

RE: What’s happening in Gaza is NOT war.
There is a difference between warfare and genocide.
War is a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state.
Genocide is rather a kind of pogrom, that is an organized massacre of a particular ethnic group which may sometimes occur within the context of a war, but more often than not has operated independently of any organized armed conflicts.
And here is the critical difference: Genocides occur with little or no armed resistance from the victims. That is what distinguishes them from wars.
For example, here is a list of a few of many pogroms, i.e., race massacres or genocides, that African-Americans suffered through for decades after emancipation from slavery:
Atlanta 1906
Springfield IL 1908
East St. Louis 1917
Omaha 1919
Chicago 1919
The Red Summer of 1919 (3 dozen cities across the USA)
Tulsa 1921
Just as the victims of these massacres were killed because they were non-white, so are the victims of the Gaza race massacre being killed because they are non-Jewish. There is no other way to describe what is going on before our very eyes.
At the end of the day, Gaza is just the latest in a long line of race massacres perpetrated and/or permitted by the USA.

RE: 1—God gave Abram the land we now call Israel
AND: 2—history. He gave examples of the history of Israel, including the fact that King David had built his capital in Jerusalem
There is just one little problem with the Jewish Bible itself: much of what is in it that is relied upon by Zionists is nothing more than fables and fairy tales:
Deconstructing the walls of Jericho
Following 70 years of intensive excavations in the Land of Israel, archaeologists have found out: The patriarchs' acts are legendary, the Israelites did not sojourn in Egypt or make an exodus, they did not conquer the land [the Bible does not say they conquered the land of Egypt]. Neither is there any mention of the empire of David and Solomon, nor of the source of belief in the God of Israel. These facts have been known for years, but Israel is a stubborn people and nobody wants to hear about it.

The Bible Unearthed: Archaeology's New Vision of Ancient Israel and the Origin of Its Sacred Texts
In this iconoclastic and provocative work, leading scholars Israel Finkelstein and Neil Asher Silberman draw on recent archaeological research to present a dramatically revised portrait of ancient Israel and its neighbors. They argue that crucial evidence (or a telling lack of evidence) at digs in Israel, Egypt, Jordan, and Lebanon suggests that many of the most famous stories in the Bible—the wanderings of the patriarchs, the Exodus from Egypt, Joshua’s conquest of Canaan, and David and Solomon’s vast empire—reflect the world of the later authors rather than actual historical facts.

RE: 3—Law, starting with the Balfour Declaration and going through the different international law organizations that declared Israel to be a nation.
SEE:
The British Empire administered the Mandate in Palestine in gross violation of the League of Nations rules for governments that had been granted mandates, as follows:
“The Palestine Mandate was invalid on three grounds set out hereinafter.
“1. The first ground of invalidity of the Mandate is that by endorsing the Balfour Declaration and accepting the concept of the establishment of a Jewish national home in Palestine it violated the sovereignty of the people of Palestine and their natural rights of independence and self-determination. Palestine was the national home of the Palestinians from time immemorial. The establishment of a national home for an alien people in that country was a violation of the legitimate and fundamental rights of the inhabitants. The League of Nations did not possess the power, any more than the British Government did, to dispose of Palestine, or to grant to the Jews any political or territorial rights in that country. In so far as the Mandate purported to recognize any rights for alien Jews in Palestine, it was null and void.
“2. The second ground of invalidity of the Mandate is that it violated, in spirit and in letter, Article 22 of the Covenant of the League of Nations, under the authority of which it purported to be made. The Mandate violated Article 22 in three respects:
“(a) The Covenant had envisaged the Mandate as the best method of achieving its basic objective of ensuring the well-being and development of the peoples inhabiting the Mandated Territories.
“Was the Palestine Mandate conceived for the well-being and development of the inhabitants of Palestine? The answer is found in the provisions of the Mandate itself. The Mandate sought the establishment in Palestine of a national home for another people, contrary to the rights and wishes of the Palestinians … It required the Mandatory to place the country under such political, administrative and economic conditions as would secure the establishment of a Jewish national home. It required the Mandatory to facilitate Jewish immigration into Palestine. It provided that a foreign body known as the Zionist Organization should be recognized as a public body for the purpose of advising and co-operating with the Administration of Palestine in matters affecting the establishment of the Jewish national home. It is clear that, although the Mandates System was conceived in the interest of the inhabitants of the Mandated Territory, the Palestine Mandate was conceived in the interest of an alien people originating from outside Palestine, and ran counter to the basic concept of mandates. As Lord Islington observed when he opposed the inclusion of the Balfour Declaration in the Palestine Mandate: “The Palestine Mandate is a real distortion of the mandatory system”. The same distinguished Lord added:
“When one sees in Article 22 … that the well-being and development of such peoples should form a sacred trust of civilization, and when one takes that as the note of the mandatory system, I think your Lordships will see that we are straying down a very far path when we are postponing self-government in Palestine until such time as the population is flooded with an alien race.”
“(b) The Palestine Mandate also ran counter to the specific concept of mandates envisaged by Article 22 for countries detached from Turkey at the end of the First World War. In the case of those countries, the intention was to limit the Mandate to the rendering of temporary advice and assistance. It is doubtful whether the people of Palestine, as also other Arab peoples detached from Turkey, were in need of administrative advice and assistance from a Mandatory. Their level of culture was not inferior to that existing at the time in many of the nations that were Members of the League of Nations. Such Arab communities had actively participated with the Turks in the government of their country. Their political maturity and administrative experience were comparable to the political maturity and administrative experience of the Turks, who were left to stand alone.
“Be that as it may, the framers of the Palestine Mandate did not restrict the Mandatory’s role to the rendering of administrative advice and assistance, but granted the Mandatory ‘full powers of legislation and administration’ (Article 1). Such ‘full powers of legislation and administration’ were not laid down in the interest of the inhabitants, but were intended to be used, and in fact were used, to establish by force the Jewish national home in Palestine. Clearly this was an abuse of the purpose of the Mandate under the Covenant and a perversion of its raison d’être.
“The whole concept of the Palestine Mandate stands in marked contrast to the Mandate for Syria and Lebanon which was given to France on 24 July 1922. This Mandate conformed to Article 22 of the Covenant …
“… The third ground of invalidity of the Mandate lies in the fact that its endorsement and implementation of the Balfour Declaration conflicted with the assurances and pledges given to the Arabs during the First World War by Great Britain and the Allied Powers. The denial to the Palestine Arabs of their independence and the subjection of their country to the immigration of a foreign people were a breach of those pledges.”

Go ahead and read the Western media reports on the Russian attacks on Ukraine. They are now telling the truth though with some biased language (for ex, calling the Russians “occupiers.” The areas Russia is working to liberate are very pro-Russian and feel “occupied” by the Kiev Ukronazis, but Western msm won’t tell you that)
You will note that the Western journos are admitting they only use Ukrainian sources. However, the Ukies are telling the truth now. They think they need to general sympathy so that the West will send them air defenses. What they don’s seem to know is that there is NO air defense anywhere in the world that can intercept hypersonic missiles, so it doesn’t matter. Russia is launching more hypersonics than ever before.

Chuck Baldwin is one of the very very few Americans who understand how extremely dangerous the American Evangelical church is. I write about it often and have written an analysis of "Christian" Zionism, and as you can see, I try always to write that expression using quotes around the word “Christian.” I cannot stress enough that there is no such thing as a Christian who is simultaneously a Zionist. A true Christian is a compassionate person whose life is centered around the teachings of Jesus, a compassionate preacher who was also a philosopher and leader. This is my secular description of Jesus. Christians have always referred to Him additionally as the Son of God, but you don’t have to accept this religious view to understand that Zionists are not Christians. I call them Satanists.
Christ’s teachings are the diametric opposite of the doctrine we call “Christian” Zionism.

An Open Letter To My Dear Palestinian Christian Brother Fares Abraham
By Chuck Baldwin
April 11, 2024
(To subscribe to my columns at no cost, click here.)
Writing for Newsweek, Palestinian Christian Fares Abraham wrote an excellent opinion piece entitled Who Is This “Godly” Man Calling for Gaza’s Nuclear Incineration? He writes:
As a Palestinian-American Christian leading a ministry dedicated to sharing the hope of the gospel throughout the Middle East, I typically avoid discussing statements made by politicians. However, the recent abhorrent remarks made by an ordained pastor, now shamefully occupying a seat in Congress, have compelled me to break this silence with unyielding condemnation.
The alarming remarks made by Rep. Tim Walberg (R-MI) on March 26, advocating for the annihilation of innocent Palestinians, including Christians in Gaza, demand immediate condemnation. Walberg's suggestion that Gaza should be treated akin to Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 is not only repulsive but also fundamentally devoid of Christian values. Furthermore, his callous desire to cut off food and aid to 2.2 million innocent Gazans, who are already on the brink of famine, is nothing short of reprehensible.
Walberg's statements aren't merely poisonous words; their implications hold the potential to bring unimaginable suffering for Gazans and, more personally, for my wife's family, who are presently seeking refuge within the ancient walls of Gaza's historic churches. In times as dire as these, where the lives of innocents hang in the balance and the very essence of humanity is under siege, the imperative to denounce such vile rhetoric could not be more urgent. It falls upon voices of conscience to rise against ideologies—and misguided theologies, I should add—that threaten to tear apart the fabric of compassion and decency, sparing neither thought nor action to protect the innocent women and children of Gaza.
Such remarks are particularly shocking when uttered by any politician, but to hear them from a self-proclaimed Christian is utterly disgraceful. Multiple lawmakers, including Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) with his appalling statement "I think we should kill them all," and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), who advocated to "level the place," have openly called for the extermination of Palestinians.
It's crucial to question why similar standards of empathy and support aren't universally applied when it comes to the Palestinian people. Just as Israel has the right to security and self-defense, Palestinians deserve recognition of their basic human rights and self-determination. Advocating for a balanced approach is crucial, acknowledging the suffering and aspirations of both Israelis and Palestinians. This involves working towards a just and lasting peace that respects the rights of the two sides.
The cries of the displaced and oppressed in the Gaza Strip are reaching the heavens, pleading for sustenance and healing. These cries bear similarities to the stories of the Lebanese widow and the Syrian army commander, Naaman, whom Jesus mentioned in his first-ever sermon at the synagogue in Nazareth (Luke 4:24-27).
It is not merely a matter of belief but a biblical imperative to stand boldly for the life of innocent Palestinians, to tirelessly advocate for peace, healing, and reconciliation. As followers of Christ, we are called to embody his radical compassion, knowing that the transformative power of our Lord has the potential to bring about profound change in even the most desperate of circumstances.
Indeed, in the face of such dire circumstances, discussions about equal standards and balanced approaches can feel futile and irrelevant. When millions of Palestinians, including members of my wife's immediate family, are praying daily for survival, the urgency of their plight cannot be overstated. Walberg's horrifying suggestion of dropping a nuclear bomb on them underscores the immediate threat to innocent lives and the urgent need for decisive action to prevent further bloodshed.
As millions in Gaza face the looming threat of the worst famine since the beginning of WWII, our paramount duty is to safeguard lives and promptly address the urgent needs of innocent Palestinians. Our collective focus must remain steadfastly dedicated to delivering humanitarian aid, ending the ongoing war, and pursuing a peaceful resolution—one that respects the inherent dignity and worth of both Palestinians and Israelis alike.Brother Abraham, you speak with a heart full of Christian compassion and truth. However, your pleading words will for the most part fall on deaf ears among the people you are primarily trying to reach: America’s evangelical Christians
