Sweden — the not so neutral “neutral state”!

The collection of documents covering years 1939 – 1945, declassified by the SVR on the occasion of the 80th anniversary of the Victory, holds a treasure trove of revelations.

We have extensively covered the Finnish part both at the Beehive here, and at our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden” in theie aggression against the USSR. But the neighbouring “neutral” Sweden was also not neutral at all. It has long been know that Sweden supplied Germany with iron ore, which became tanks, killing Soviet people.

The document, received and deciphered on July 29, 1941, shows that Sweden was also in the same boat with Finland, almost literally.

According to the verified data, it was established through various sources:

1. Starting from July 14, 2-3 Finnish steamships run daily from Sweden to Finland with ammunition and food received from Sweden. The vessels, each with a displacement of 2,000 tons, are escorted by Swedish torpedo boats and submarines. In the opposite direction, they are escorted by one Finnish motorboat.

2. By July 26, there were 4 German ships in Abo with 4-5 thousand tons each, one Finnish and two Swedish. The Abo city is completely destroyed, but the port has minor damage.

3. On July 26, 3 companies of German infantry arrived at the port of Abo.

4. At the time of the explosion, there were 60 German wagons loaded with ammunition and bullets, and 9 Swedish platforms loaded with German guns, including 12 ten-and-a-half-centimeter guns and 9 40-millimeter guns.

5. The commander of the eighth German army, General Braskovich, has been dismissed.

The article by Lara Mikhalevskaya was published in Swedish at Steigan.no. All that you are about to read, and more, is covered in the must-see documentary “The Great Unknown War”!

Sweden among those who financed Adolf Hitler and his war

It is a separate story that Sweden, despite formally remaining neutral during World War II, actively cooperated with Nazi Germany by providing strategic resources, financial support and logistical assistance. This cooperation played a significant role in maintaining the war machine of the Third Reich.

Iron ore supplies

Iron ore was a key resource that Sweden supplied to Germany. In 1939, 70% of Swedish iron went to Germany, and in 1940, 11.5 million tons of the 15 million tons of iron used by German industry came from Sweden. Between 1940 and 1944, Sweden sold more than 45 million tons of iron ore to Germany. By 1944, Germany had exported 38 million tons of iron ore from Sweden, covering about 90% of the country’s needs. Each German tank or cannon contained up to 30% Swedish metal. The Swedish iron ore was of particular value, since it contained approximately 60% of pure iron, which is made of the manufacture of the military equipment is more profitable as a result of Germany.

The Great Unknown War. A must-see documentary about the WWII prelude. By Andrey Medvedev

It is assumed in our historiography that the USSR and its allies – the United States, Britain and France – fought with Nazi Germany, which was supported by its allies – Hungary, Romania, Italy, and Japan. And the Soviet Union won this unbearably difficult war.

But it is very important to understand whether our allies were really sincere, on whose side were the so-called neutral countries, and why the war on the Eastern front was so violent with mass destruction of the population.

Without understanding who brought Hitler to power, who financed him, who earned money from the war, we will never realize the greatness of the feat of the Soviet people.

Without a deep understanding of the causes of the war and an analysis of diplomatic agreements, we will not see that the attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 was the result of a serious geopolitical process.

An important question is: who was behind Hitler, who in Europe needed such a Germany and why? Aggressive, militarized, anti-Bolshevik and anti-Russian.

What would Germany be without American loans? Without investment from American companies? Germany could not have fought in the East without receiving for free the top-notch factories of Czechoslovakia, which it gained by the Munich Conspiracy of 1938, when England and France gave up the whole country to Hitler. What for? What were the Western politicians planning?

Why did the allies take so long to open a Second front and what is the Bank for International Settlements? Why did its participants meet every month throughout the Second World War?

How many foreigners fought in the SS, and who defended the Reich Chancellery in May 1945? For whom in Europe were Hitler’s ideas so dear: nationalism, anti-Semitism and living space in the East.

The film “The Great Unknown War” is a story about what the Soviet Union actually faced. And the terrible cost at which we won a war that we were not supposed to win.

Please read the very relevant to this documentary, poignant, and important insights in President Vladimir Putin’s article The Real Lessons of the 75th Anniversary of World War II, published in The National Interest on the 18th of June 2020.

We published the first translation of this documentary 6 years ago, on June 20, 2020.
On March 16, 2022, YouTube freedom-of-speeched the Russian-language channel Rossia24, where the official untranslated video of the documentary was hosted, so we uploaded the film with embedded subtitles to Odysee platform.
Now, on May 8, 2026 we present an updated version with revised and corrected subtitles.


Backup at Rumble.
Original video source at the VGTRK.

During the work on the translation, a lot of background checks were done, and every date and name was verified. Most quotes of the Western politicians are re-translations from Russian, except for a few, where open original sources were available. The links to the sources are added both to the transcript further down the page and the downloadable subtitles (as comments).

While watching the documentary, it was hard to shake off the feeling of the stark parallel of how the Nazi Germany was propped up, and how, in much the same way, the Nazi Ukraine is being propped up now. One example: just replace the name of Henri Deterding of the British-Dutch “Shell” with that of Biden Jr. to see the present-day play of interests. Or replace “Bank for International Settlements” (BIS) with the International Monetary Fund. But there are big differences, too. While Germany was heavily invested into, to make it into a battering ram against Russia, Ukraine is being turned into an ideological battering ram, while at the same time being plundered of its last Soviet industrial legacy.

However, the target was always Russia, and WWII was just a fifth act in a war that lasted for several hundred years, dotted by a few armistices. Here is a list of those wars (with some documentaries in Russian):

  1. The Napoleonic Wars of 1812
  2. World War 0 of 1853-1856, mis-nomered as “The Crimean War”, when that was but one of many battles. Just think of one simple fact: if Russia lost the Crimean War, why did Russia retain Crimea?
  3. The war with Japan and the first attempt to conduct a coup d’etat in Russia in 1905
  4. World War I, which was a suicide for Europe, started in 1914, and culminated in the capitalistic coup d’etat in Russia in February of 1917.
  5. World War II and the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945…
  6. …immediately followed by the Cold War, which was planned to not be that cold. Even before it started Winston Churchill ordered development of the “Plan Unthinkable”, the goal of which was to strike the USSR in July of 1945. I am not quoting The Guardian often, if ever, but this article from 2002 is worth the read: The Soviet threat was a myth
  7. This “Cold War” lead to another coup d’etat in Russia and a forced instalment of the bloody Yeltsin regime in November of 1993, the Wild 90’s that took the lives of over 30 million Russian and Soviet people over the course of 7 years of oligarchic rule; and the destruction of the Yugoslavia by NATO in the process.

It is all intertwined. But now, let as zoom in on the developments between WWI and WWII.

One other parallel that sprung to mind is how the German Weimar Republic and its achievements were appropriated and privatised by the Anglo-Saxon (or, rather, “Naglo-Saxon” West), while the Republic itself became demonised once West-sponsored Hitler took power. The same happened to the great legacy of the Soviet Union now, after the West-sponsored Yeltsin took power in Russia. For example, IG Farben Industries, which gave to humanity fertilisers, magnetic tape and magnetophones and many other things during the Weimar Republic, but once it got taken over by the Nazi state and developed the murderous gas “Zyklon B”, that’s all that remained, while origins of the prior works were earased and ascribed to the “victors” after WWII. More about it in the article “IG Farben – the main weapon of the XX-th century“.

Karaganov: How Russia can win the new world war – RT reblog

Reading time: 11 minutes

The article by Professor Sergey Karaganov, honorary chairman of Russia’s Council on Foreign and Defense Policy, and academic supervisor at the School of International Economics and Foreign Affairs Higher School of Economics (HSE) in Moscow. It was first published by the magazine Profile and was translated and edited by the RT team on May 4, 2026.

Karaganov: How Russia can win the new world war

Moscow must sharpen nuclear deterrence, revise doctrine and defeat Kiev to avert a wider war with the West and NATO powers

The accelerating flow of events, each overlapping and contradicting the other, is bewildering and makes it difficult to grasp the essence of what is happening. I shall attempt to interpret the course of history, drawing on my own experience and knowledge, as well as on the fact that over the past 35 years I have never been significantly wrong in my assessments and forecasts. Sometimes I was a little behind, but more often I was several years, or even a couple of decades, ahead of the expert community.

A full-scale world war has already begun. Its roots go back to 1917, when Soviet Russia broke away from the capitalist system. First, the interventionists were set upon us; then Nazi Germany and almost all of Western Europe, but the latter lost. The second round began in the 1950s, when the peoples of the USSR, at the cost of enormous hardship and in their quest to secure sovereignty and security, created the nuclear bomb and subsequently achieved nuclear parity with the United States. By doing so, without realizing it at the time, we knocked the foundations out from under five centuries of Western dominance in the ideological sphere, which had allowed them to plunder the rest of the world and subjugate even the most advanced civilizations. That foundation was military superiority, upon which the system of exploitation of all humanity was built.

From the mid-1950s onwards, the West began to suffer one military defeat after another. A wave of national liberation swept across the globe, accompanied by the nationalization of resources that had been seized by Western countries and their corporations. The global balance of power began to shift in favor of the non-Western world.

Russia’s stark warning to the Western handlers of the Ukraine: don’t interfere with the Victory Parade on May 9!

Posted on by

Reading time: 3 minutes

Russian Defence Ministry published the following short by powerful warning to the USA and EU regarding any attempt to strike at the Victory parade in Moscow though the Ukraine proxy:

In accordance with the decision of Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin, a ceasefire is declared on 8–9 May 2026 in honour of the celebration of the Victory of the Soviet people in the Great Patriotic War.

We expect the Ukrainian side to follow this example.

At the same time, we have taken note of the statement made by the head of the Kiev regime in Yerevan at the European Political Community Summit, which contains threats to strike Moscow on 9 May.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will take all necessary measures to ensure the security of the festive events.

Should the Kiev regime attempt to carry out its criminal plans aimed at disrupting the celebration of the 81st anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will launch a retaliatory, massive missile strike on the centre of Kiev.

Despite the capabilities at its disposal, Russia has previously refrained from such actions for humanitarian reasons.

We warn the civilian population of Kiev and the staff of foreign diplomatic missions to leave the city in a timely manner.

This warning was followed by a statement from the Russian Foregin Ministry, voiced by Maria Zaharova on May 6, 2026:

💬 The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation hereby announces that a Note Verbale has been sent to all diplomatic missions accredited to the Ministry, as well as to missions of international organisations. The note reads as follows:

“On May 4, 2026, the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation released an official statement in response to threats by the Kiev regime to carry out a strike on Moscow during Victory Day in the Great Patriotic War which is a holiday that is sacred to all Russians. The Foreign Ministry urgently calls on the government of your country/the leadership of your organisation to treat this statement with the utmost seriousness and to ensure the timely evacuation from the city of Kiev of the personnel of diplomatic and other missions, as well as civilians, in view of the inevitable retaliatory strike by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation on Kiev, including against decision-making centres, should the Kiev regime carry out its criminal terrorist plans during the Victory Day celebrations.”

Russian diplomatic missions abroad are also informing their host countries and international organisations of this.

Let us look back at how the events unfolded.

On May 4, during the European Political Community Summit in Yerevan, Kiev regime leader Zelensky went so far as to make aggressive and threatening statements about his intention to disrupt Moscow’s sacred Victory Day celebrations with terrorist attacks. He said this in the presence of representatives from a number of EU countries none of whom did anything to rein in the presumptuous Kiev regime leader.

On the same day, the Russian Defence Ministry issued a warning statement in response to Zelensky’s stated aggressive intentions. To reinforce my point, it was done in response to what Zelensky had said.

If EU countries believe they will be able to hush up those public threats and to sweep Zelensky’s aggressive statements under the carpet, they are gravely mistaken.

We are well aware of the collective Western minority’s attitude towards May 9. They are systematically destroying Soviet memorial legacy, exhuming the remains of Soviet soldiers, and rewriting and distorting history. As they continue to supply Ukraine with weapons, they are acting as accomplices in the criminal plans hatched by the Kiev regime.

However, the instinct for self-preservation should not fail them.

☝️ We are not acting from a position of aggression; we are acting from a position of an inevitable response to aggression.

This is how the statement issued by the Defence Ministry on May 4 and our subsequent steps should be interpreted. It must certainly not be hushed up. It must be taken very, very seriously.

Black tide from US-Israeli aggression on Iran chokes Persian Gulf turtle nesting sanctuary – PressTV Reblog

USA and it’s Israeli proxy are not only committing genocide of the Palestinian, Lebanese and Iranian peoples, they are also committing an ecocide, by targeting civilian oil installations. USA is doing this both in the Persian Gulf, and – though their Ukrainian proxy – in the Black Sea, where Tuapse oil refinery and port facilities were newly hit several times.

The article below is a re-blog of the publication by PressTV, written by Mina Mosallanejadon on May 5, 2026 about the ecological disaster created by the USA and its Zionist proxy in the Persian Gulf.

Black crude now clings to the shoreline of Shidvar Island – an uninhabited island in the Persian Gulf known for picturesque beaches and blue waters – like a second skin.

Days after US-Israeli military aggression targeted Iran’s civilian oil infrastructure on Lavan Island last month, the pale coral beaches of this protected Persian Gulf sanctuary were swallowed by a continuous band of tar as petroleum pollutants spread across its waters.

What was once an undisturbed crescent of white sand has been transformed into an oily black seam, raising urgent questions about the fate of the hawksbill turtles, migratory seabirds, and coral formations that make Shidvar one of the most ecologically sensitive islands in Iranian waters.

On this tiny, uninhabited refuge – known locally as Maro – there is still no complete accounting of what has happened beneath that black sheen.

Whether nesting turtles managed to crawl ashore to lay their eggs, whether hatchlings suffocated beneath contaminated sand, whether breeding colonies of terns abandoned their nesting grounds, or how much of Iran’s only protected coral reef ecosystem has already absorbed irreversible toxic damage – nothing is clear yet.

What is visible, however, is enough to establish one fact with brutal clarity: the consequences of the US-Israeli war of aggression did not stop at burning fuel depots and damaged refinery channels. They moved outward with the tide.

The contamination traces back to the April 8 attack on the Lavan refinery complex, one of Iran’s major civilian petroleum facilities in the Persian Gulf. Iranian officials say the strike took place even after a ceasefire had been declared, rupturing sections of oil transfer infrastructure and allowing petroleum materials to escape into adjacent marine waters.

Where Journalism Must Draw the Line: A European Reacts to Collier’s “The War We Do Not Want”

We re-blog a commentary from April 1952 that came as a European reaction to the Collier’s magazine publication, which we presented on our pages a few days ago.

– by Andre Prudhommeaux

When that sensational issue of Collier’s came out on October 27, 1951, in which articles by prominent writers described the course of World War III as if it had already taken place, there was a roar of outrage. Though the issue was titled “The War We Do Not Want,” it seemed to most observers that quite an opposite impression would be conveyed, especially to the peoples of Europe and Asia. There was a general feeling that the magazine had somehow committed an unpardonable offense, though few seemed inclined to judge it in terms other than Realpolitik: it would dishearten Europeans, frighten Asiatics, etc. Here, André Prudhommeaux gives one European’s reaction to the Collier’s episode, not as it affects the strategy of the cold war, but as it involves certain values intrinsic to Western civilization that contemporary journalism appears willing to dispense with. This article is translated from the French by Waldemar Hansen.

Homer expressed the rather revolting notion that the wars and ills of mankind are the raw material of poetry and, consequently, of that poetic pleasure which is the supreme delight of the gods. In this sentiment we detect the first symptoms of that professional deformation which makes journalists greet a juicy crime or an international crisis with joy, and which makes their readers eagerly look forward to blood on the front page.

Still, we must also take into account the cathartic function that art had for Homer, even if he is a little too self-conscious about being the one who, after the event, transmutes massacres into beauty, and human suffering into an enjoyment that, thanks to the poet, is not reserved for the gods. Moreover, there is an extenuating circumstance here, in that the poetic treatment of human misfortune is confined to events that have already happened—and constitutes the revenge taken, after the fact, by intelligence and sensibility on the blind and inscrutable Fate which is a closed book for the gods themselves. Homer does not at all invite men to enjoy the story of future wars; and it is by this token that he remains for us a citizen of our world, a civilized person. For one of the tacit and essential conventions of “civilization” is that the future belongs to nobody, that reality should not be staged in advance: for Nero to burn Rome simply to provide himself with a literary subject seems to us the very symbol of barbarity.

Collier’s Preview of the War We Do Not Want: Russia’s Defeat and Occupation 1952-1960

Posted on by

Reading time: 310 minutes

“Make the lie big, keep it simple, keep saying it and eventually they will believe it”
– Dr Joseph Goebbels

On October 27, 1951, an American magazine “Collier’s” published a topic issue with a ominous title “Preview of the War We Do Not Want: Russia’s defeat and Occupation 1952-1960”. The issue was comprised of a series of “hypothetical” articles, turning into a parade of double-speak, projection, blame-shifting, and sugar-coating. The articles are written in the past tense, describing the war as a fait accompli, as a retrospective, where the USA is, naturally, victorious. On the cover, the title itself could have just as well dropped the “not” to become absolutely truthful.

The map on the cover made it absolutely clear which territories the USA (under the fig leaf of the UN) wanted to occupy: Ukraine, Baltics, Poland, Romania, Czechoslovakia, Hungary, creating the “sanitarrebiy cordon”. Moscow was also on the list, in order to paralyse and turn the USSR into a puppet state – no suprise there, as Hitler had had exactly the same goal just 10 years earlier. At one point, they mock Iosif Stalin with his loss of a son in the war against fascism-imperialism. Note how the whole conflict is presented as USSR against the UN, glossing over the fact that USSR is, in fact a founding member of that very UN, that the USA is using in the articles as a cover for their carnivorous desires, projected onto the USSR. We will meet many a propaganda device conceived by Goebbels, like the term “Red Army hordes”… The articles are also insistently calling their imaginary war for “The Great War” (with capital letters) so as to overshadow and push out of the focus the recent devastating World War II. Indeed, reading the “How the War Was Fought” section is like reading Hitler’s wet dreams put on paper! They went as fas as dragging through the mud the name of Ilya Ehrenburg, the journalist who only a decade ago had been rallying Soviet people to the fight against Nazism, giving spiritual strength to the Soviet Soldiers.

As time went by, it turned out that the title was not entirely hypothetical, or rather, not hypothetical at all. That we can see from the article that we re-blogged earlier: 204 A-Bombs Against 66 Cities: US Drew up First Plan to Nuke Russia Before WWII Was Even Over. In 1951, the USSR was still recovering from the loss of 27 million people, destruction of whole cities and agricultural land. In 1947, the USSR suffered a severe famine as result from the Nazi destruction, while it continued to help Poland and other countries of the Socialist block with food and equipment.

And against suffering, the USA was itching for a new war, a nuclear war – just like the Western politicians of today, when Britain and France, with the tacit approval of the USA, are planning to transfer nuclear weapons to the Nazi regime in Kiev. But what’s new – read an article by Dmitry Medvedev How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st for a deeper understanding of the continuity of the Imperialist agenda from 1941 to 1951.

Below, we present the texts and pages of the Collier’s, extracted from the PDF, preserved by the WebArchive library. Read it and draw you own parallels to the russophobic media frenzy that we see today, when Russia is painted as an aggressor to prepare the population of the West for a new “drang nach osten”. Pay careful attention of how the narrative is woven. Goebbels’ quote above is taken to the extreme, so much so that Goebbels himself might have been overwhelmed and embarrassed. The point about repeating the same lie is taken very seriously – the sub-articles, even though they address different topics – will re-run certain narratives from various angles, hammering the lies and deceptive half-truths into the minds of the readers. We made several BATS-comments throughout, but it is virtually impossible to address every single lie, as we would be forced to leave comments in almost each paragaph. So we entrust our readers with this material as an exercise in critical thinking.

A few words about Collier’s

CHEAP MONEY…
that’s what the Reds would like to see in America.
Cheap money eats into savings; cuts down the value of insurance; wrecks plans for security.
Cheap money leads nations into chaos; collapse . . . and communism.
Moscow meddlers in positions of influence are promoting cheap money for America today.
Let’s throw them out!

This section is written with input from a local, who has first-hand experience with what “duck-and-cover” was.

Collier’s magazine was a popular periodical, which was viewed at the time as a serious publication. The magazine was very critical of Joseph McCarthy, the strident anti-communist politician in that period, but was focused on the EXTERNAL communist enemy and viewed McCarthy’s focus on INTERNAL enemies as abusive and anti-American. The page to the right was not a part of the extensive “imaginary war” topic, and serves as an illustration of Collier’s editorial political stance.

Time magazine wrote two days after the publication:

For “Eggnog,” Collier’s jumped its print order from 3,400,000 to 3,900,000, spent $40,000 extra on articles, almost doubled its usual sale of advertising.

As the same time, Collier’s was struggling financially, and it would eventually shut down in January of 1957. Interesting implications arise for this particular issue: financial difficulties, being on the outs with the McCarthy regime, increase in print, the exceptional quality of the material, he breadth of the myths, talking points and slander covered in one go, leave us with the impression that Collier’s were working on an order they could not refuse, with the outline of the materials provided by the US policy makers and think-tanks of the time.

When that sensational issue of Collier’s came out on October 27, 1951, in which articles by prominent writers described the course of World War III as if it had already taken place, there was a roar of outrage. Though the issue was titled “The War We Do Not Want,” it seemed to most observers that quite an opposite impression would be conveyed, especially to the peoples of Europe and Asia. There was a general feeling that the magazine had somehow committed an unpardonable offense, though few seemed inclined to judge it in terms other than Realpolitik: it would dishearten Europeans, frighten Asiatics, etc. Here, André Prudhommeaux gives one European’s reaction to the Collier’s episode, not as it affects the strategy of the cold war, but as it involves certain values intrinsic to Western civilization that contemporary journalism appears willing to dispense with.

Thus, Collier’s publication draw criticism in Europe, seen in the April 1952 commentary Where Journalism Must Draw the Line: A European Reacts to Collier’s “The War We Do Not Want”!

Note that in several articles references will be made to MVD as the scary oppressive “organ of totalitarianism”. Actually, MVD stand for “Ministry of Internal Affairs” – the American equivalent being the Department of Homeland Security, with some functions of the Interior Department. It appears this publication predates the time when KGB was promoted into the rank of the new boogeyman for the westerners.

And now, brew some calming tea, and embark on the most unnerving reading imaginable. You can click on each image to enlarge it.

Who you will become is determined by what your values are in youth

Upbringing is the key, determining if the person will become the selfless defender of Motherland or killer in the invading Imperialist machinery of death, nowadays known as US-NATO. We contrasted it in two materials on our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, drawing a parallel between the steadfast resilience of the Soviet and Iranian people on the one hand, and the invading bloodlust of the USA’s army on the other.

The battle against Fascism continues, new generations man the front

Can you even for a moment imagine that the USSR would have surrendered in the face of German Nazi aggression in 1941, to become slaves, corpses?

No? Of course, not!

Then why would anyone think that Iran would surrender in 2026 in the face of the same fascist imperialist aggression by the Fourth Reich?

☝️ And no, resilience is not magic. Not then, not now. It is built. Built in classrooms instead of clubs. Built in labs instead of algorithms. Built in minds that are collectively trained to create, not just consume.

So, if you’re still wondering why some nations endured, and endure, pressure that would collapse others, just look at what they were, and are, feeding their youth.

The Unburied Corpses: How American Empire Recycles Fascism

We re-blog an excellent article by Ryan Perkins, published on October 02, 2025 at his Substack. This article complements well the materials in two of Dmitry Medvedev’s publications that we translated on the pages of the Beehive:

From European Nazis to Japanese war criminals; from Latin American death squads to Salafist Jihadists, the names of the actors and enemies may change, but the script remains the same.

Introduction to The Anatomy of Empire

We are living through a global conflict of connected crises. Gaza, Iran, Venezuela, the South China Sea and in Ukraine, where battalions adorned with neo-Nazi insignia fight with Western arms. Meanwhile, in the halls of European power the ancestry of leaders echoes with fascist collaboration. These are not historical accidents but the symptomatic convulsions of an Empire in continuity, repurposing its oldest tools to preserve a core of power that is fundamentally unchanged. Behind the headlines of military alliances and ideological battles lies a deeper, more disturbing truth—a war waged not against fascism, but with it.

This series, The Anatomy of Empire, has traced the obscured path that brought us to this precipice. It is a history not of chance, but of cold calculation; not of isolated compromises, but of a systemic logic pursued with relentless determination. We have seen how the engines of capital accumulation require global expansion and how raw military power was institutionalized to secure it. Now, we turn to the system’s most cynical and durable adaptation: the wholesale absorption of its defeated enemy into the very infrastructure designed to fight the next enemy.

Parts of this story are familiar, often presented as isolated incidents and justified as moral compromises in the name of realpolitik. But this is not true. Taken together they represent a cold, clear, calculated strategy, executed with the presence of foresight, to wholesale incorporate the infrastructure of fascism into the architecture of the Empire’s next war of choice: The Cold War.

This was not merely the recruitment of a few useful individuals, but the systematic integration of personnel, tactics, and ideologies into intelligence agencies, scientific programs, and military commands. A clandestine architecture whose logical endpoint is not peace, but a state of perpetual, undeclared war waged with democratic façades and fascist instruments.

It was a corporate takeover that transformed a group of disparate regional start-ups into a global franchise.

How the Anglo-Saxons Nurtured Ukrainian Nationalism After the Second World War – Dmitry Medvedev

An article by Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, publish in magazine Rodina on December 25, 2025.

Nationalism is a manifestation of a nation’s weakness, not its strength. For the most part, weak nations are infected with nationalism <...> Like any evil, it hides, lives in darkness, and only pretends to be born out of love for its country. But it is actually generated by anger, hatred towards other nations and towards that part of their own people who do not share nationalist views.

(Latin: “We know as much as we remember”)

The Anglo-Saxon ideological roots of the Nazi “death machine” were discussed in detail in the article “How the Anglo-Saxons Promoted Fascism in the 20th Century and Revived It in the 21st. Five historical questions for our former Allies”. [3] At the same time, the defeat of Nazism in May 1945 did not stop Washington and London from trying to find another object for political vivisection under a nationalist sauce.

The traditional garment of the Malorossians

The shocking details of the biography of the ancestors of Blaise Matreveli, a high-ranking employee of the British state security agencies who took up the post of director of the Secret Intelligence Service of the British Foreign Office (MI6) on October 1, 2025, which surfaced in June 2025, are an excellent illustration of the carefully hidden context in Anglo-Saxon countries [4], [5]. As historians and public figures who are not indifferent to upholding the truth about the past have found out, her paternal grandfather was the collaborator K.A. Dobrovolsky, who in August 1941 voluntarily surrendered to the Germans and was then placed by the occupation authorities at the head of a detachment of auxiliary police in the village Sosnitsa, Chernigov region, engaged in the mass extermination of civilians and partisans. By December 1941, his unit was operating far beyond the area of the village “entrusted” to him, participating in monstrous punitive actions and looting. The Judas himself joined in July 1942 a secret field police [6], was distinguished by extreme brutality, earning the nickname “The Butcher” from his colleagues, and his handwritten reports with the signature “Heil Hitler” are still in the German archives (one can only wonder how the long hands of unscrupulous British spies did not get to such sensitive materials over the past decades, and did not destroy them). In 1943, fearing just retribution, K.A. Dobrovolsky and his family joined the German troops retreating from the Red Army to the west, after which the traces of the bloody henchman of the third Reich are lost.

The Force Was Strong With Ali Khamenei

Ever since 1977 when the sci-fi movie «Star Wars» premiered, a worldwide audience admired the self-sacrifice of fearless jedi knight, Obi-Wan Kenobi. His last words in the face of imminent death by the hand of dark knight, Darth Vader, are legendary:

«You can’t win, Darth. If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine.»

Obi-Wan’s words of wisdom and defiance, goaded the figurehead of the Empire — Darth Vader — to strike him down. And through this feat of self-sacrifice, Obi-Wan empowered with crucial spiritual strength and fighting unity the Rebel Alliance, which ultimately brought an end to the Empire by accomplishing the one Victory for all.

On February 28, 2026, not in some sci-fi fiction but in real life, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei performed a feat of the very same nature and implications, goading the American Empire to strike him down, and in doing so, strengthening the unity and power of both the peoples of the Islamic Republic of Iran, the Axis of Resistance, and the peoples of the free world. They will in turn bring about the end of the U.S. Empire, and A New Hope shall rise for the future of the humanity!

We created this poster, publishing it on “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, as a response to the USA’s state terrorism, to show specifically the American audience (or the audience under the influence of the American propagantainment) what implications the USA’s actions. The Farsi and Arabic versions are at the end of this article.

Khamenei Is Back

Iranian media released anime-style footage said to depict the final moments of former Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei before his assassination.

The Iranians are winning the meme game because their material conveys loss and righteous fury rather than the weirdly sadistic triumphalism the White House is pumping out.

False Flag Alert! USA may conduct a false flag on own territory to justify land invasion of Iran!

Posted on by
Reading time: 2 minutes

USA, in its epically failing aerial war of aggression against Iran, would need to put “feet on the ground”. To do so, the American regime would first require to stage a massive false flag, on par with 9/11 to justify such a ground invasion. And lo and behold, the Governor of California, Gavin Newsom, declared a state of emergency due to reports of possible drone attacks by Iran!

Remember! Iran is not planning an attack on California. Their drones can’t even reach the West Coast. The CIA/Mossad is planning one to manufacture consent for an unpopular war. That’s how false flags work & if you think it’s all some silly conspiracy theory it’s because you are the mark.

The satirical publication “Babylon Bee” has warned about the possibility of the false flag in its own way, by saying that Gavin Newsom has already destroyed California, so it’s of no interest to Iran.

Meanwhile, four drones have been reported stolen from Fort Campbell – for a false flag attack, one might ask?

In their unprovoked aggression against Iran, USA has not yet dropped nuclear boms. Yet. But they have done something equally sinister, by unleashin a chemical warfare against Iran, creating a humanitarian and ecological disaster that will touch the whole world. In this article we present several screenshots from videos that we have on our Telegram channel “Beorn And The Shieldmaiden”, and we urge our readers here to go and get acquainted with the damning evidence of USA’s crimes against humanity.

Attacks on fuel storage facilities are intentional chemical WARFARE against Iranian citizens — Iranian MFA

Esmaeil Baqaei, the Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman wrote on X:

The U.S.-Israeli criminal war against the Iranian nation has entered a dangerous new phase with deliberate strikes on Iran’s energy infrastructure. These attacks on fuel storage facilities amount to nothing less than intentional chemical warfare against the Iranian citizens

By targeting fuel depots, the aggressors are releasing hazardous materials and toxic substances into the air, poisoning civilians, devastating the environment, and endangering lives on a massive scale. The consequences of this environmental and humanitarian catastrophe will not be confined within Iran’s borders.

These strikes constitute war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide — all at once.

Iran was “about to make an A-bomb” for 40 years and counting

The Zionist time flows differently from human time, as witnessed by these statements!


Backup at Rumble.

For 35 years (and counting), Israel – the US’ proxy in the Middle East – has been claiming that Iran is only weeks away from getting a nuclear bomb, all in order to justify their aggression against Iran.

Iranian weeks, apparently, last for years everywhere else on the planet. Who cares about nuclear bombs… How do they stretch time like this??

Meanwhile Israel has had nuclear weapons for many decades…
