A Nano-second to Midnight
Gilbert Doctorow, an Intelligent and Informed Russian Expert Explains that It Is Indeed a Nano-second to Midnight. This is an extremely important warning, which like my own is likely to be ignored at our peril. In no Western capital or print and TV media has any recognition been given to the consequence of the extremely reckless and dangerous continuing provocations of Russia. The American neoconservative attack on Russia is the most insane folly in human history. The Kremlin has encouraged the provocations by accepting them and by prolonging a conflict that should have been a quick victory in order to prevent US and NATO involvement from widening the conflict. The situation has unfolded precisely as I predicted, and now Doctorow says we have reached the breaking point.
The pitiful Western peoples, so uninvolved, so unaware, so betrayed by their leaders. They have no idea what is coming at them.
The coming existential threat
by Gilbert Doctorow
I returned to Brussels on Sunday after a month of travels in exotic and warm lands south of the equator. The re-entry shock upon arrival in Belgium was a lot greater than the 27 degree Centigrade drop in outdoor air temperature. After a month of only very limited reception of Russian news, due to satellite issues and hotel service issues, last night I switched on Russian state television’s news and talk show “Sixty Minutes” on www.smotrim.ru and got a full blast of the current state of relations with the US, which are very close to Doomsday.
Allow me to share with you the key point, namely the soon to be announced changes to the Russian doctrine on first use of nuclear weapons and their new more precise red lines that have come about from the plans for Russia’s partition and destruction that seem to be aired daily on US television.
As usual, Yevgeny Popov, State Duma member and host of “Sixty Minutes,” put a lot of video segments from Western television up on the screen, including a lengthy statement by Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, former commander of all U.S. forces in Europe from 2014 to 2017, on how the Ukrainians must be given long range precision missiles for them to attack Russian Crimea and also further into the Russian heartland. The interview from which this declaration was made does not yet appear in Google search, but from interviews posted in 2022 it is clear that Hodges is no madman, and his statements must, as Popov said, be taken with utmost seriousness.
The context, of course, for the radical escalation now being discussed in the United States is the expectation of a massive Russian offensive to begin shortly as the anniversary of the Special Military Operation approaches. The imminent defeat of Ukrainian forces has focused minds in Washington.
One of the regular panelists on “Sixty Minutes” then faced the cameras directly and said that Russia’s nuclear doctrine is under revision in light of these aggressive plans being aired in the United States, so that Russia is headed towards a policy of ‘preventive’ tactical nuclear strikes, similar to what the United States has. Moreover, if Ukraine targets Crimea and heartland Russia, then Russia will respond according to plans now being laid down. These plans foresee counter strikes against U.S military installations in Europe and in the Continental United States using hypersonic missiles. The panelist calls for this threat of counter strikes in Europe and the US to be made public and explicit, so that no one is in doubt about what to expect from the Kremlin.
So here we are. The Russians are stripping away the fiction of a proxy war and revealing the co-belligerent status of the US and its NATO allies in preparation for a kinetic war with NATO. As our illustrious former President, a man of few words, would say: “Not good!”
Allow me also to share with my readership the bitter medicine that I just shared with our daughter: look for an escape hatch!
Either, as I fervently hope, there will be an anti-war movement in the USA, in Europe arising from the shock therapy news now developing with respect to the coming kinetic war between NATO and Russia, OR failing that, it will be every man for himself.
Back in 1937 there were Jews in Berlin who decided they could ride out the storm and stay put. There were others who took the first boats out, to England, to the US, to South America. All of us in the Northern Hemisphere now may be facing the same existential choice.

If this is anything to go by, kinetic nukes will be the least of our problems:
Stay calm and trust fedgov to save us . . . . from its own depop agenda.
THIS would be a disaster of EPIC proportions. How would I stream my netflix or check my lottery numbers to see if I won my retirement money???
Don’t worry, they won’t do anything evil during Black History Month. /s
Whoop de doo.
“The Kremlin has encouraged the provocations by accepting them”
But… but now they seem to be moving to stop encouraging them!
PCR should be dancing in joy!!
If they really have this whiz bang hypersonic undetectable stuff it would benefit the whole world to make a demonstration. Target open fields near urban areas around the country with conventional explosive warheads. They could then make a statement about how it’s up to Dementia Joe whether or not the next batch stays in the launchers, is aimed at real targets or is the nuclear warhead version aimed at real targets.
Our people like Nuland and Sullivan have never been punched in the face a la Mike Tyson. Do they even consider one day somebody could launch a cruise missile attack on us like they keep doing to others thus far without consequence in the CONUS?
Russia doing that would only embolden the psychopaths in New York/Washington/London/Brussels/ Tel Aviv. Remember psychopaths lack empathy, have no concept of right and wrong, rarely take responsibility for their actions and love recklessness and taking risks.
All this is right up their alley
I have a better suggestion for Russia to test the hypersonic.. Target Washington D.C. .
That’s just where their actors and lawyers reside. NYC, City of London, Tel Aviv, Brussels, that’s where the shot callers live. I am sure cleaning out the trash in D.C. and London and Berlin and Paris are also good ideas.
We are facing existential threats from many sources and levels, nuclear war is merely one of them. As we have experienced during the past three years, governments will go to great lengths and expense to lie, deceive and ultimately injure us if it suits their diabolical agendas. In modern times the American misleadership has: dropped atomic bombs on Japanese civilians, murdered a sitting president, waged relentless wars around the world, used depleted uranium on Iraqis, conducted mind control experiments using LSD on US citizens and rapidly morphed into a fascistic kakistocracy to name a few of their dastardly deeds. We have become numb to the machinations of the plutocrats and their miscreant flunkies/vassals. We have drank their mind numbing Kool-Aid and now stand on the brink of a horrifying abyss of depravity, insanity and destruction. Will a PEACE Movement emerge? Will people wake from their propaganda induced stupor and do what people in my generation did, actively resist US imperialism in Southeast Asia; or will we be like the Germans, Italians and Japanese and allow psychopaths to lead us into a dystopian hell-scape far beyond the wildest imaginations of science fiction?
I despise our present leadership in the U.S. and support Russia’s actions in Ukraine. On the other hand, I get sick and tired of hearing “Hate America First” propagandist like you constantly vilify this country. You ignore all of the atrocious behavior of other countries and focus exclusively on what bad things the U.S. has done. Some of the things you have listed against the U.S. I actually support. I’m glad we nuked Japan. My father survived WWII because we nuked Japan. The Japanese raped, pillaged, plundered, and murdered their way across Asia. Do you remember Nanjing or do you only have selective memory? I’m glad we have depleted uranium rounds for our tanks so that we can defeat enemy tanks. I do not want our servicemen put in harms way without the latest and best equipment. As far as your statement
keep in mind that you and the Jane Fonda crowd were only tools for the communists. The Vietnam War was, in retrospect, unnecessary, but the Jane Fonda crowd did not resist is out of love for this country. Your faux nobility makes me want to puke.
Since WHEN has it been decided that the US is the nation to decide what other countries affairs should be??? Since its the US that manufactures these problems so they can enter into the war they created.
Your father survived a war that the US started and you are proud the US nuked the Japanese people, not once but twice?? Cities where noncombatants lived, incinerated, so the US could test its burgeoning new nuclear weapons. And of course, US soldiers NEVER raped, pillaged and burned anything or murdered anyone either, cause they were God fear’n apple pie eat’n murikans that fought with honor and pride.
Because kill’n is guud int it. Sepecially them rag heads in Iraq, right?? They had weapons of mass destruction and were a threat to muikan security. So the US manufactures yet more righteous wars. So bomb the shit out of another nation, who’s business is none of yours, turn their cities into gravel and rubble killing millions, but hey!!! Murika and democracy, do as we tell you or we’ll shit storm your country.
Hate to wake you up but the communists have waltzed, invited, into the US with welcoming arms. All those wars, treasures and blood spent was for what?? They OWN the US top to bottom. And what will you do about it??? Rhetorical question, we ALL know what you’ll do.
Your faux patriotism in light of the abject betrayal is what should make you puke, but I doubt it will. Maybe voting harder will help, vote ur golden boi and Save Murika
You are just another “Hate America First” fanatic. Another thing. Where did I justify our going into Iraq? Wanting our troops to have the best weapons (DU) does not mean that I supported our country going into Iraq. Your hatred of this country and its people would be amusing if it didn’t lead to psychos like Ted Kaczynski. He didn’t bother “voting harder”. Why don’t you just spend your time watching Jane Fonda videos instead.
Your faux patriotism in light of the abject betrayal is what should make you puke, but I doubt it will.
Did I call that or what. Your fake patriotism is easy to spot. As for hating the country and its people, where did I say I hated the people? Where fuck stick…
I don’t, I just despise douchebags that are PROUD of nuking innocents, proud of their dear leaders starting wars so the MICs can test their latest gear. Douche bags that salute the flag and cowardly hide when it comes to defending whats really at stake, freedom. Douche bags like you gleefully watching the NFL game like a warrior you think you are, then hide your face behind a mask when told to.
You picked a great moniker – Dying Son – Corrected the spelling for you. Be sure to go get your limited digital nearly gold embossed trump warrior memes and send a few bucks to your fav goi representative. At least contribute to Saving Murika like a true patriot. Maybe post a pic of you with your trump warrior meme set, show the world your courage.
Next time start by refuting what people say instead of engaging in crying about people hating what the US is doing to people worldwide. Otherwise, STFU
Nice vocabulary. It tells me all I need to know about you. It tells me about your education (or lack of), you mentality, and your intolerance for alternate points of view. If you can’t argue you instead swear, brow beat, or bully. Too bad I’m now inside your head. There are not many windows, but there’s lots of vacant space. While I’m there, I think I’ll jus put on a Jane Funda moovee and have a few cold ones. Oh no, I’m starting to lose IQ being in your head. I need to get out. Have a good day HAFF.
My sense of patriotism is tapped out, stomped to death, and incinerated to mere dust. I guess I’m a Hate America Firster too. You know what? I don’t want to save AmeriKa, I want to defeat Amerika and all for which she stands (Wickedness), not the mythical Orwellian claims she’s vomited out for my entire life.
ICYMI — those DU rounds were very dangerous to our own military … ask tank crew members …
The United States has been fighting wars on behalf of bankers for more than a century … look at the Balfour Declaration and how UK jews and their Stateside brethren manipulated the US into WW1 … and all of the other banker wars before and since.
Love of country? Yes — I do love this Nation … hell, I served for 2 years in the Marine Corps (1966-8) without question.
But we must learn from history and from our mistakes — and our history has shown that we’ve been fighting in countries for decades when those countries are and have never been a threat to the US (a ‘threat’ to ‘our friend and ally’ is NOT a threat to US — hence, not our problem).
“The United States has been fighting wars on behalf of bankers for more than a century … look at the Balfour Declaration and how UK jews and their Stateside brethren manipulated the US into WW1 … and all of the other banker wars before and since.”
A simple paragraph that explains the foundation of the useless and deceived patriotism of countless otherwise rock solid Americans caught up into our brutal and ugly useless deceived wars, and aggression worldwide.
Not trying to nitpick AA (big fan of you) but I prefer the word Khazarians over UK jews (a special kind of demonic name stealer) and all the other fake bloodline loos, boos, and coos. (I especially don like the Do’s what I say).
You are my brother AA.
‘It don’t mean nothing’.
And when the time comes (and it is coming soon) I can still ‘Get Some’!
To those few here on the Platform who do not know who Smedly Bulter was and what he exposed…all I can say is you are missing a lynch pin of the early 20th century, and you do not know true 1930’s ‘Trip Wire History’!
If you have not read his pamphlet… ‘War is a Racket”…and researched those he exposed…who rule you today…you are swinging a whiffle bat at a 95 MPR hardball.
See I’m not anti-WAR-I’m anti-CONTROLLED DECEPTION…I have every intention of going to WAR one last time.
I know who the real enemy is.
I can pray and I can shoot.
Who would have thought old age would be this cool???
Does anyone know why the Dollar to Oil, to Silver, and the Gold ratio is 0 (zero) on the Debt Clock???
WTF?

Found this so far:
All good Mark – in line with my book and the explanation of the Cyprus bank robbery – in fact it was a dry run to test bail-in. The bankers know the current system is ending and their answer is CBDCs and everything that goes with it. Fink at BlackRock explained ‘Going Direct’ in August 2019 – I wrote about it:
https://austrianpeter.substack.com/p/a-perfect-storm-the-money-crisis?s=w
Gold has gone to nil (in US dollars) because there are so many dollars out there now – not just in US but the Eurodollar market is so enormous that they can’t even quantify it. The Debt Clock is reflecting gold price in dollars, as the man says, dividing by zero always equals zero thus it has reached a tipping point as all Ponzi schemes eventually do and they always go to nil.
Thanks Peter,
I know we are close to TSHTF, but then again I’m the guy that had that exact same groundhog thought for too many years to admit to…then I realized what Dr. Skidmore and Catherin Austin Fitts discovered was just the base of the TIP OF THE ICEBERG to the foundation of the upside down inverted/economically perverted iceberg/derivative/pyramid of QUADRILLIONS of fiat chickens soon coming home to roost!
This Debt Clock admission to me is HUGE?
Is if not?
What do you think?
Cheers my British Brother!
Yes all true Mark. I too have been forecasting doom for so long I guess my readers have lost faith but they fail to realise that CAF and friends know exactly what has gone on and their predictions are nevertheless valid and will come to fruition in due course IMHO.
CBDCs are the only option now which is why they are pushing it so much – they know that time is short but the jury is out as to whether they can beat the deadline. Here’s a taste of what it looks like if they can pull it off, which I doubt:
Blessings and go well prepared Mark and my happy TBP family.
Nothing to worry about, we all know nukes are not real.
They don’t have to be. It’s a pandemic if you believe it’s a pandemic.
The sheep will soon realize that their world is not really a perfect artificial construct of modern convenience where you control your climate with a dial, utilities are taken for granted and you just pick your food up at the store…our leaders have sold us out into a dog eat dog world where the Central Bankers and their paid belligerents are the big dogs. No one is coming to save us short of the Second Coming.
If the outdated nukes even work.
