Historian Emmanuel Todd is one of France’s leading public intellectuals. At the age of just 25, he predicted the collapse of the Soviet Union in his book The Final Fall: An Essay on the Decomposition of the Soviet Sphere. Later in his career, he carried out pioneering work on family structure and how it impacts societal development.
Now at the age of 71, Todd doesn’t seem to mind ruffling feathers – as his remarks in a recent interview with Swiss magazine Weltwoche make clear. “I’ll give you the first interview because you write in German,” he begins by saying. “This war is about Germany.”
About Germany? What does he mean? Todd explains:
The financial crisis of 2008 made it clear that with reunification Germany became the leading power in Europe and thus also a rival of the USA. Until 1989 it was politically a dwarf. Now Berlin showed its willingness to get involved with the Russians. Combating this rapprochement became a priority of American strategy. The United States had always made it clear that they wanted to torpedo the gas agreement. The expansion of NATO in Eastern Europe was not primarily directed against Russia, but against Germany.
Asked who sabotaged the Nord Stream pipelines, Todd replies, “Of course the Americans. But that is completely unimportant. It is normal.” The important question is, “How can a society believe that it could have been the Russians?”
“We are dealing here with an inversion of possible reality,” says Todd. “The newspapers tell us how the Russians are shooting at prisons they have occupied. That they shoot at nuclear power plants that they control locally. That they blow up pipelines that they built themselves.”
It’s clear, then, that Todd subscribes to the theory I first discussed back in August: that the U.S. deliberately provoked conflict between Russia and Ukraine to sabotage the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, thereby ending (or at least severely curtailing) Russo-European interdependence.
Unfortunately, Todd doesn’t provide any specific evidence to back up his provocative claims. So the theory remains speculative. Of course, this doesn’t mean we should accept the conventional narrative that America just really cares about democracy.
So what, in Todd’s view, should be done? “I wish the Germans would understand: The side of the good they want to be on this time is not that of the United States,” he says. “The good means: end this war.”
While Todd certainly represents a minority viewpoint among Western intellectuals, as he himself acknowledges, it’s still worth considering.

Profanity and abuse will be removed and may lead to a permanent ban.
It may take years but the truth comes out eventually. Unfortunately those who need to be held accountable will go Scott free. Post Office, Thalidomide are just two example. Maybe add net zero as well.
Plus the Covid lab leak from research paid for by a famous very wealthy Dr Frankenstein Fauci
There is no chance of a ban. Moderna have signed multi-million deals with the Australian, Canadian and UK governments to set up mRNA vaccine manufacturing plants in those countries as our rulers believe that most future vaccines can be made using mRNA technology. Plus, the largest shareholding of Rishi Sunak’s Theleme Partners investment fund is, surprise surprise – Moderna.
If the cancer rates do go up as some fear, then these investments may quickly become worthless.
Not sure if Matthew Lodge is aware of the elite Norwegian triathlete, Heiko Sepp, whose health and quality of life have been devastated after taking the Covid jabs. He’s also financially devastated due to the soaring health bills and he and his family are having to move to Spain because the cold Norwegian weather seriously impacts his chronic autoimmune condition and he suffers a lot as a consequence. Terribly sad how this is like night and day for this young guy who was much fitter than average, but also how he’s now having to fight for compensation because the authorities aren’t acknowledging his many symptoms ( excluding pericarditis ) are linked to the jab that he didn’t even need in the first place;
”Heiko Sepp, a Norwegian world class extreme triathlete had his life completely destroyed after his Covid-19 injections. It started with heart inflammation and chest pains. He was diagnosed with pericarditis to begin. He then developed a severe autoimmune disease. From being a very active and healthy person he now has troubles even doing everyday life things, like picking up his children from school. He is now a prisoner in his own body.”

terrible . but had to give up watching too many ads on rumble like every 1 or2 minutes or 30 seconds!
It is getting as bad as YT. That was another reason I liked Rumble, you could click away the adverts at the start, they let it play, now you get rude interruptions right through the videos.
yes i hope they will notice how it keeps people away and go back to the original plan
I’ve said and written “The tide is turning” too many times.
” warned that sending out these letters would almost certainly compromise state and federal Government relationships, resulting in extreme reputational and financial impact”
So bloody what, people have the right to know!
That almost sounds like a threat doesn’t it… why would that be necessary?
““As local government, our roles relate to roads, rates, rubbish, recreation, local town planning and, to an extent, housing, childcare,” she said”
And what was the “Local Government” doing during the Rollouts?
Well done the councillors of Port Hedland. Hopefully this will spread throughout Australia.
If myocarditis was normal in young people, why did we not see adverts with kids collapsing on the Football pitch before 2021. What utter contempt for the public!
This is huge! Local government elected by local people in a little Aussie town, sending out a “ripple that creates a bigger wave across the country, and perhaps the world”, as Councillor McRae said.
What a shock this will be for the Globalists, still dreaming of their New Feudal World Order, lording it over the mind-controlled slaves.
Lead on, you blessed Aussies in that tiny town— lead on!!!
You’re on the side of the angels…
There is no way that the TGA, CDC or any other regulatory body will ever admit to malfeasance. Just imagine the tide gates opening! One way of ensuring zero responsibility/liability is to improperly test the product. Which is why you should never believe anything these bodies tell you – eg waste of time flu vaccines
The information is now trickling out to those unquestioning people who have taken the ostrich position.
Their Governments and the Medical Establishment aren’t going to save them. They daren’t admit the truth.
I have no sympathy whatsoever for anyone who is still lining up to be jabbed with these poisons; I’m afraid rank stupidity is part of the “survival of the fittest” process.
