Nothing is lost with peace. All can be lost with war. Let men return to understanding. Let them resume negotiating. Negotiating with good will and with respect for each other’s rights, let them realize that an honorable success is never precluded when there are sincere and active negotiations. And they will feel great – with true greatness – if imposing silence on the voices of passion, whether collective or private, and leaving reason to its proper domain, they will spare their brothers bloodshed and their homeland ruin……….
Thus it was that on August 24, 1939, Pius XII addressed both rulers and peoples as war was imminent. These were not words of empty pacifism, nor of complicit silence about the multiple violations of justice that were being carried out in many quarters. In that radio message, which some people still remember hearing, the appeal of the Roman Pontiff invoked “respect for each other’s rights” as a prerequisite for fruitful peace negotiations.
The Media Narrative
If we look at what is happening in Ukraine, without being misled by the gross falsifications of the mainstream media, we realize that respect for each other’s rights has been completely ignored; indeed, we have the impression that the Biden Administration, NATO and the European Union deliberately want to maintain a situation of obvious imbalance, precisely to make impossible any attempt at a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, provoking the Russian Federation to trigger a conflict. Herein lies the seriousness of the problem. This is the trap set for both Russia and Ukraine, using both of them to enable the globalist elite to carry out its criminal plan.
It should not surprise us that pluralism and freedom of speech, so praised in countries that claim to be democratic, are daily disavowed by censorship and intolerance towards opinions not aligned with the official narrative. Manipulations of this kind have become the norm during the so-called pandemic, to the detriment of doctors, scientists and dissenting journalists, who have been discredited and ostracized for the mere fact of daring to question the effectiveness of experimental serums. Two years later, the truth about the adverse effects and the unfortunate management of the health emergency has proven them right, but the truth is stubbornly ignored because it does not correspond to what the system wanted and still wants today.
If the world media have so far been able to lie shamelessly on a matter of strict scientific relevance, spreading lies and hiding reality, we should ask ourselves why, in the present situation, they should suddenly rediscover that intellectual honesty and respect for the code of ethics widely denied with COVID.
But if this colossal fraud has been supported and disseminated by the media, it must be recognized that national and international health institutions, governments, magistrates, law enforcement agencies and the Catholic hierarchy itself all share responsibility for the disaster – each in its own sphere by actively supporting or failing to oppose the narrative – a disaster that has affected billions of people in their health, their property, the exercise of their individual rights and even their very lives. Even in this case, it is difficult to imagine that those who have been guilty of such crimes in support of a pandemic that was intended and maliciously amplified could suddenly have a jolt of dignity and show solicitude for their citizens and their homeland when a war threatens their security and their economy.
These, of course, can be the prudent reflections of those who want to remain neutral and look with detachment and almost disinterest at what is happening around them. But if we deepen our knowledge of the facts and document them, relying on authoritative and objective sources, we discover that doubts and perplexities soon become disturbing certainties.
Even if we only want to limit our investigation to the economic aspect, we understand that news agencies, politics and public institutions themselves depend on a small number of financial groups belonging to an oligarchy that, significantly, is united not only by money and power, but by the ideological affiliation that guides its action and interference in the politics of nations and the whole world. This oligarchy shows its tentacles in the UN, NATO, the World Economic Forum, the European Union, and in “philanthropic” institutions such as George Soros’ Open Society and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
”Even on FR I now feel like a mushroom … fed sh!t and left in the dark.”
LMAO.
Don't be so fair and balanced. This is war. /s
Klaus(German) wants you to help him Take Over The world . Ah got it ,
Pinky and the Brain
FR breaks down like this a lot. It’s not even really breaking down, actually, just revealing differences that you didn’t know were there. I’m not talking about the trolls, but as you say, the long-time FReepers.
So, they are not necessarily “believing” the MSM. They are on that side for other reasons and take strength from reports that agree with them.
This is just my take of a lot of this.
“Biden was talking almost like he expected and wanted it.”
I do not support Biden but I will note that it is an old practice that in exposing an enemy’s plans there is the hope that he will not carry them out.
Eyepatch McCain is trying hard to get that scrubbed, thanks for posting that picture.
Nancy is only onboard for the MONEY
I would love to see the passion for “defending” the Ukraine, for the current U.S. problems.
I don’t know where some of these people live, but I don’t even recognize this place, anymore. Over the past 20 years, there has been an influx of foreign invaders, invited, and it’s all “legal immigration”.
I have never been more ashamed of my country. The real culprits are in DC and Davos.
Here is a couple of lowlife scum plotting war in Ukraine. Just look at this scum. They were plotting this until Trump won.

The reasoning, format and style reads like a papal encyclical. Its the most comprehensive summary of the situation I have seen so far.
I know I shouldn’t be that way as some here want some form of virtue signaling they’ll accept in order to deem you to not be pro-Putin.
They were over there instigating a war with Russia. Same scum that rubbed elbows with ISIS.
Wonder what Lindsay is hiding?
“But I doubt Archbishop Viganò wrote that...To me, it doesn’t sound like something that Archbishop Viganò would say or write.”
I’ve read several pieces by him and they “sound” similar in clarity and substance. His heavy accent may not match the elegance of the written words. Do you believe he has ghost writers?
There was the Soviet Union. Many still call it that. If it was, they would be talking about the Soviet Ukraine.
Maybe it was these years of sitting under our desks to survive Khrushchev’s nukes. Made people batty.
This man was one of the first to speak out about what was going on with covid. He is a smart trustworthy man unlike that marxist, NWO Pope.
Look at Nanzi standing there holding a defaced American flag.
Its appalling that anyone is defending Putin. What could be more destructive of a free Republic than to have a foreign military of a one party State invade and destroy families and homes?
Some of them are the same posters.
FR’s own Politburo.
Good thing we have plenty of intelligent writers to counter them.
