Blindspot #032 - Shortages & warnings of pitchfork revolutions by Martin Armstrong

It is not only World War III, but, Economic War on the world population's collective stomach, and corporate ‘bottom lines’…
It would seem, if one goes by the (un)intended consequences, and fall-out created in global markets, by the ‘war’ to sanction and isolate Russia ‘back to the stone age,’ by those opposed to its military operation in Ukraine, that it is not aimed at Russia alone, but is evidently a war on people's stomachs, gas tanks, global energy supplies, and ultimately everyone outside Ukraine and Russia, who have just about nothing to do with it in the first instance.
More importantly, those cheering on these actions must know, they are feeding the inflationary monsters growing in global markets that can only lead to collective demise. This is not a ‘war’ to isolate Russia in response to its military operation in Ukraine. It is a world war on your stomach, and petrol tank.
This Blindspot will illustrate the point by zooming in on a few recent headlines.

Blindspot #043 - Vladmir Putin: the Face of Eurasian Resistance & Integration
Buiteboer // From Bunker 42
www.buiteboer.co.za
12/07/22
IN Blindspot 33.3 we asked whether Vladmir PUTIN is the face of Eurasian resistance. Well, now in number 43 we can confirm that not only is he the face of Eurasian resistance, but, also that of Eurasian integration.
A new rail corridor, connecting St Petersburg, all the way through Iran, Tajikistan, to Mumbai in India, has become a new sanctions-busting corridor, not just for the Russian Federation, but, for the larger Eurasian project.
We have covered the rise of Eurasia on Blindspot before. However, even though we have, also, asked whether Vladmir Putin is the face of Eurasian integration, it might be necessary to look down that particular rabbit hole again.
Here is a report from RT…

Blindspot 69 - South African artillery munitions sold to undisclosed NATO nation - Will Ukraine bomb Russian forces with them?
Buiteboer // From Bunker 42

31/5/23
Since the joint naval exercise between China, Russia, and South Africa earlier this year, and the docking late 2022, of the Lady R - a Russian vessel, in Simon’s Town naval base, rhetoric and actions aimed at forcing the globalist / neocon logic of ‘Us vs Them’ - Russia vs US, on Africa and South Africa, by European and North American powers, has only intensified. They are saying - choose your sides, and here we don’t mean coleslaw or green salad!
By now even the SA Reserve Bank has entered the fray and warns in its latest Financial Stability Review of secondary sanctions imposed on South Africa, with the risk that it might be lobbed off the global financial platforms such as SWIFT (like Russia in 2022), if it does not dance to the war-tunes of conflict escalation and planetary division played by the policy musicians of Club Western World.
Since 2022, diplomatic and other actions have been pointing to a sharp increase in the jockeying for position by major powers to maintain, protect and expand their spheres of influence in Africa, while aiming to contain and counter-act influence of adversaries in this new Cold War. The US Senate bill on ‘Countering malign Russian influence in Africa Act’ (2022) is a classic example of this.
Today we address the question as to why there has only been an ‘outcry’ about a Russian naval vessel docking in Simon’s Town, and not also about the real possibility that South African manufactured munitions, including 155mm shells, sold to an undisclosed ‘NATO nation’ may end up being shot at Russian forces in Ukraine. The latter will of course undermine the South African stance of not providing or selling arms to nations involved in human rights abuses, or regional conflicts.
The story of how South African manufactured 155mm artillery munitions could potentially end up in Ukrainian Howitzer barrels start with Rheinmittal, a German arms manufacturer that is one of the largest and most prominent outcroppings of the European manifestation of the military-industrial complex.
I - 600-700K artillery shells from Rheinmittal to Ukraine
On 5 May 2023, Euromaidan Press covered the critical need for constant supply of artillery shells to Ukraine. In the article it indicates that
“The European Union has pledged to supply Ukraine with one million artillery shells annually to aid the country in defending against Russian aggression. However, the ammunition supply is running low due to intense fighting, prompting the EU to explore options to bridge the gap. Rheinmetall, already the largest Western ammunition manufacturer with an annual output of 450,000 shells, can expand its production to 600,000-700,000 artillery rounds per year.”
II - Rheinmittal Denel Munitions sale of 155mm shells to undisclosed NATO nation
To make things a bit more interesting, let us look at Rheinmittal South Africa, and a report concerning it selling 155mm shells to an un-named NATO member state.
On 2 January, 2023, Sarah Lesedi writes on the military.africa platform that,
“In August 2022, Rheinmetall Denel Munition (RDM) supplied 155mm ammunition from the Assegai product line to a NATO customer. Back in 2019, Rheinmetall succeeded in setting a new maximum range record in South Africa with the Assegai family and other Group products like the new Topcharge.
Both companies will focus on developing an enhanced range 155 mm artillery round fitted with an integrated M1156 precision guidance kit (PGK), as well as on developing a new 155 mm projectile with an improved integrated propulsion system.
Jointly owned by Rheinmetall Waffe Munition GmbH (51%) of Germany and Denel (Pty) Ltd, Rheinmetall Denel Munition produces a wide variety of ammunition such as 155 mm artillery ammunition, 60, 81 and 120 mm mortars, 40 mm grenades and 76/62 mm Naval Rounds, aircraft bombs and mine breaching systems. Rheinmetall Denel Munition also builds ammunition filling plants for export and manufactures missile subsystems.”
So, here is the question Blindspot is asking - seeing that Rheinmittal Germany is aiming to produce and supply Ukraine with up to 700,000 155mm shells in coming years, what are the chances that the Rheinmittal Denel Munition supplied shells will not end up in the barrels of Howitzers pointed at Russian forces somewhere along the meat grinder frontlines of Ukraine?
Now we need to take a quick look at what the South African stance might be on such a sale. Seeing that a South African produced conventional arms product, might end up in a regional conflict. If that is the case, South Africa is in breach of its own laws, and established norms according to which it aims to control arms manufacturing and export from this country.
Why are South Africans shouting about the US ambassador’s allegation of arms sold to Russia via Lady R, and not also asking some probing questions about a South African SOE Denel, in partnership with Rheinmittal Waffe Munition, selling ammunition for conventional 155mm weapons, to an undisclosed NATO nation, with the inherent risk of trans-shipment to exotic Ukrainian shores?
Perhaps someone should launch a Public Access to Information Act request for disclosure of the exact NATO nation for which the export is destined!

Blindspot 86 -> War Crimes GALORE as Israeli Intelligence Recommend: Depopulate Gaza
Blindspot 86 - War crimes galore as Israeli intelligence recommends depopulation of Gaza
Buiteboer // From Bunker 42
www.buiteboer.co.za
1/11/23
Opening
It seems as if Israel is fighting its war in Gaza, and on Palestinians like the Americans fought the Vietnam war.
Blindspot 86, is to a large extent a continuation of no 83, where, only days following on the October 7, ‘surprise attack’ Hamas launched on Israel from Gaza, Blindspot took the angle of warning - to watch Syria. Antiwar.com
Since then, the regional fall-out, and entrenchment of positions, and drawing of thick red lines in the desert sands have continued. But, this delivery also builds on what we covered in No 84, where we covered a prophesy by Alexander Dugin, and outlined why the destruction of the Al Aqsa mosque, is a major issue hidden in the plain sight of total war unleashed on not just Gaza, but the region, by Israel.
Today we delve into a few stories, all further emphasising the fact that planet earth, and us humans are at a tipping point. Perhaps the great apocalypse is upon us, but, remember, that what we call apocalypse is the ‘lifting of the veil’. Perhaps the veil is being lifted on who the real perpetrators of war crimes, mass extermination are.
I - Hypocrisy at work?
When South Africa was preparing to host the BRICS summit earlier this year, a huge controversy surrounded the possible in-person attendance of the event, by President Vladmir Putin. At the time it was said that due to charges laid against him at the ICC, South Africa, a signatory to the Rome Statute, would be obliged to arrest him if he sets foot in the country. However, at the time Blindspot 65 referenced the work of The Grayzone, which clearly showed that the so-called charges against President Putin were based on bogus intelligence provided by the US State Department, and CIA. Great work done by Grayzone to expose these lies.
So, while Putin is being called a war criminal, based on bogus charges, how is it possible that the ICC and others on the moral high ground of the Rules Based International Order, in the face of whole Gaza neighbourhoods being carpet bombed by the IDF, children being killed and hospitals being destroyed, can stay mum on the apparent warcrimes being committed by Netanyahu and the far right wing Zionists fomenting the biblical extermination of Palestinians in Gaza?

4/10/23
Seeing that we cover certain blindspots in general vision, we came across two interesting clips with perspectives on the mainstream media. The first from the EU parliament where a member called msm out as main source of disinformation. And then a clip of a person confronting editors from eg New York Times about their apparent inability to provide balanced reporting on eg Ukraine conflict.
But, furthermore, this delivery is anchored by two stories that each illustrate magnificent historical changes unfolding as we speak. The first deals with the French being frogmarched out of Africa, and the second, the views of President Bashar al Assad, on the historical deal brokered by China, between Saudi Arabia, and Iran.
But, before we dig into all that, while the world is obsessed with NATO’s nasty war on Russia, let’s remind ourselves of the critical importance of North Africa, and the battles fought for control of it, during WWII.
I - Historical power shifts in Sahara sands
II - Mali & the counter-French movement
III - Niger & the counter-French movement
IV - France bans African artists (in retaliation)
V - Body armour for pregnant Ukrainian women

I
If anyone at this stage of the year 2022 still suffers from the illusion that humanity lives in a globalised, and integrated world economy, then they only have themselves to blame for not kicking over the rock they’d been living under.
The global system has not only bifurcated, but even Larry Fink, president of BlackRock, (as reported here on Blindspot during March-April 2022) pronounced globalisation dead on arrival in a Ukrainian emergency room, at the onset of Russia’s special military operation. The planet and its panicked occupants have been catapulted back to the future, we have Cold War 2.0 staring us in the face, pitting Eurasia versus the ‘Woke West’.
Blindspots hide everywhere. In this edition we actually look at only two articles that some may consider old news, but, as we’ll see, today’s best news may just be hiding in a dusty corner of the digitosphere somewhere.

Blindspot #005
www.buiteboer.co.za
What are we Blindspotting in Delivery #005?
On the heavier, and lighter side of vaccine politics, Blindspot shares a showdown between Arnold Schwarzenegger (The Terminator) and Alex Jones (Info Wars).
If what they’re saying is anything to go by, the USA might soon descend into not a MAGA-driven civil war, but indeed an anti-Globalist anti-Vaccine anti-Whoever is a needle wielding Terminator, uprising. Also, on the lighter side of vaccine politics, Blindspot shows how The Simpsons had very apparently achieved enlightenment long ago already, and that like their prediction of Trump becoming president, the Simpsons had also foretold the compulsory vaccine ‘death jab’.
This week’s Blindspots have three common threads: vaccines, viruses, and the geopolitics of grand failures.
The woke Club Western world is apparently shocked at the pace with which twenty years of US war in Afghanistan, training- and equipping of the official Afghan Defence force (counting about 300,000 men under arms), brought about, well, NOTHING. Afghan forces and militias allied to the government all but faded like mist before the rising sun as the Taliban emerged from caves and the fog of twenty years of US war gaming, while enriching only the Barons of the Military Industrial Complex.
Blindspot then takes this as a point of departure to look into two announcements, in first six months of this year, of US Special Forces, and Trainers, deploying to the Democratic Republic of the Congo, and Mozambique.
Here’s the Blindspot ‘million dollar question’: In 2001 Afghanistan was invaded to vanquish the Taliban ‘regime,’ find Al Qaeda (and Osama bin Laden), and to secure the USA against terror strikes similar to that of 9/11. Now, twenty years later, the USA is withdrawing, and the Taliban jumped back, fully formed, armed, and probably much more dangerous than ever. Is it just a Blindspot in thinking, to think that anything was achieved? Or, is the bigger goal a further expansion of the great North-African, Middle-Eastern, and Central Asian zone of Chaos and War by allowing Afghanistan’s puppet paper tiger state to collapse?
Nevertheless, this week we also Blindspot a question relating to the SputnikV vaccine, and South Africa’s strange choices regarding firstly not accepting a total of 20 million doses, available for South Africa , earlier in the year, only some months later to be followed by half baked plans to now perhaps procure SputnikV. The blindspot question is - is South Africa’s choice of vaccines perhaps not captured by big Pharma corporate lobbyists? Did South Africa not snub one of its BRICS partners by refusing the Russian offer, but instead to go with jabs like those produced by Johnson & Johnson? We do also note that SputnikV remains more than 90% effective against new variants of the Covid19 virus.
Blindspot wants you to see the world others don’t!

NEVERTHELESS... DON'T PANIC
Blindspot #007 has absolutely nothing to do with Her Majesty’s favourite under the cover(s) post-hero, Bond, James Bond, number double zero seven.
However, while we are on this topic, Blindspot #007 is indeed a fast paced ride down a few quick contemporary military strategic and covert operation/black-ops rabbit holes.
This week Blindspot plunges into the mind of the twentieth joint chiefs of staff boss in the USA (General Milley), not to be confused with mealies, but, he has suddenly started professing the need for the USA ground forces to prepare themselves for multi-domain large scale ground operations against potential enemies such as China, Iran, Russia, and North Korea.
It cancel cultures previous military doctrines obsessed with minimal boots on the ground- matched with maximum air- and tech superiority. Now all of a sudden ground hog grunts have to prepare for mass-scale operations aimed not at minimum boots on the ground, but maximum deployment of stinky sock meat forces.
A major blindspot, we ask?
Also Blindspot peaks down the rabbit hole of the use of chemical weapons in the war in Syria. Blindspot warns that multi-domain maximum war doctrines are going to be hitting screens and streets close to you sooner than you might think.
From Covert Action Magazine Blindspot also spots a fascinating analysis of the totally insane space-war plans and weapons being hatched in a United States of A- close to eyeballs close to you soon.
In Southern Africa Blindspot briefly returns to Zambia, now that the election is over and done, to ask - quo vadis for a country delivering copper to a world only now waking up to the fact that the EV- AI future of electricity and robotics will chow multi-millions of tons of copper cable. What do we expect from the resource rich, but epically poor country in the heart of Southern Africa? And, as always, Blindspot will surprise...

Blindspot aims to see the world others don’t, or, at least some of the dots others do not happen to connect. In the Blindspot version of relatively recent human history, an ‘event’ often touted as frightening prospect of things to come, is already with us, and has been so for quite some time, namely, World War 3.
In the first instance it is necessary to understand that the global entertainment- and news-industries have weaponised this term, WWIII, over time. Either the trope WWIII is used as anchor for some edge-of-your seat war- or spy-drama, pitting forces against each other that may tip the planet into some biblically inspired form of Mutually Assured Destruction (MAD). Or, it is deployed as some Psy-op level collective fear mongering tool by states and leaders to subjugate subjects to the will and whims of elite wars fought with the blood of Joe Bloke and Jane Soap.
Hence, as Blindspot we do not take the term WWIII lightly. In fact, we take it so seriously that in the Blindspot universe, we are already in Phase three of said war. In the next few minutes we will share why we propose such a preposterous idea, and also show the critical role Russia had already played in this game of grand masters since it set boots on the ground in Syria, on invitation of the government in Damascus, some years ago.

The first Blindspot of 2022 introduces our new looking & sounding introduction.
The year kicked off to a hot flame-filled start in parliament- seems like Desmond Tutu’s departure from planet earth generated heated debate, or, is it a case of a departing soul setting things on fire, and turning off the light switch on the way out?
Blindspot returns in 2022 with more coverage of dynamics, ideas, or destructively mad methods humans deploy in the name of sanity and civilisation. Blindspot 24 covers some fiery stories.
In the Ukraine ultra far-right supporters marched to mark the birthday of Stepan Bandera, known Nazi collaborator in Ukraine during WWII. As the neo-Nazis were marching with their lit torches in Kiev, someone on the other side of the planet decided to have his own torchlight march in the parliament buildings, Cape Town, South Africa.
Seems like the political year is going up in flames, even before it started.
Our key stories for tonight:
- Nazi’s March in Kiev, Ukraine
- South Africa’s democracy going up in smoke
- Assange controversy, an alternative view from Hong Kong/China

In Blindspot Special 3.2 we covered numbers I to V of the summarised sections of the translation of Prof Kalahari’s story. In Special 3.3 we will look at the remaining remainders of smokers as so prophetically predicted by Prof Jan Jakkahari:

II - Smoking declared a crime & constitutional changes afoot
III - Democratic South Africa gives birth to: Project for the Total Suppression of Habitual Smoking- and other Nicotine Related Smoking Disorders
IV - Techno-science to the rescue
V - Creation of Tactical Counter-Smoke Strike Units to wield SEEBESEMS to turn smokers into cat & dog food pellets
VI - A National Dragnet of Super Sensitive Smart Smoke Detectors - Switched ON - 1 January, 2000
VII - D-Night (2 January 2000) - deploying the Tactical Counter-Smoke Strike Units operationally on an unsuspecting bang babalaas smoking public
VIII - Minister of Health declares success as Newspapers report on 3 January, 2000, that 787 Smokers Snuffed Out in Millenial New Year “Operation Stompie Surprise”

Blindspot 46 - Only 30% of US Military 'Aid' ends on Ukraine frontlines!? Macabre NATO ART
Blindspot #046
Only 30% of US Military Aid ends up on Ukraine frontlines!?!
&
NATO’s leaders strike a pose with macabre art?

I - Only 30% of US ‘military aid’ ends on Ukraine frontlines
We came across this quite intriguing report about the CBS channel going to great lengths to follow both the money and weapons so generously showered on Ukrainian heads by the USA.
On 8 August, NewsPunch.com published an article claiming that the US news network, CBS, “Quietly deletes own film exposing how only 30% of U.S. weapons aid for Ukraine makes it to frontlines.”
The controversy starts with a tweet by CBS on 5 August, announcing, “The new CBS Reports documentary, ‘Arming Ukraine,’ explores why much of the billions of dollars of military aid that the U.S. is sending to Ukraine doesn’t make it to the front lines: ‘Like 30% of it reaches its final destination.’”
The film, produced by CBS’s Alex Pena, has now been deleted from their website. However, if you want to see a mirrored version on Bitchute, follow is link to watch Arming Ukraine. While the film is predictably biased against Russia, CBS highlighted how billions in military aid is dumped into a black hole. They went inside Ukraine to get a firsthand look at how military aid gets from the border to frontline soldiers.
But, within a mere day or two, it seems some voice from nowhere must have complained, because, by 8 August, in another tweet, CBS announces that ‘new information’ has come to light, and that they removed the documentary in order to ‘update’ it.
II - NATO art of the Macabre - or is it just a night at the museum?
This reminds of Chronicles of Riddick where the Necromongers argue humans are a mistake, a spontaneous outbreak in the universe. And that their redemption lies in the ‘under-verse’ - a new promised land post death. Seems like the art exhibit NATO leaders were photographed at, very much could have been inspired by some necromonger type thinking!
On the topic of weapons and war and NATO. In the broad cruising Blindspot undertakes in the digitosphere it sometimes happens that we stumble on somewhat interesting things you are most certainly not necessarily to see on CBS, or such.
In this case we bumped into @Jeremypoole channel on Odysee. The link is provided below, but, here we share some shots of NATO leaders in an ‘exhibit’. The exhibit features dystopian art showcasing human-machine monsters devouring flesh. Is it a vision of the posthuman horizons the west is so actively seeking with Great Reset’s and 4th Industrial Revolutions?
BUT, and this is where things get interesting, Artnet News reports on 5 July, “Night at the Museum: NATO World Leaders Perused the Galleries of Madrid’s Prado Museum During the Organization’s Annual Summit.” The various nation heads visited the world-famous Spanish institution for an official dinner. In the report, images show, for example, French president Macron passing a painting very much different to the one in the @Jeremypoole video. What is and where is what disinformation.

Blindspot 78 - Humans as hackable animals, Armageddon & Mad Max: Dugin on Western Grimaginary

I - Intro
While planning this delivery of Blindspot, the original idea was to cover a recent statement by the head of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council, Aleksey Danilov, who argued that NATO needs Ukraine as a member, as global turbulence is set to continue. “We’re going to strengthen the alliance,” he insisted. “If somebody thinks that World War III hasn’t started then it’s a huge mistake. It has already begun. It had been underway in a hybrid period for some time and has now entered an active phase,” he said.
We also planned to delve deeper into close encounters between US and Russian fighter jets (and drones) in Syrian airspace. The latter, as we have argued several times on Blindspot is also an active proxy war site between the Russian Federation, Syrian government, Iran on the one hand, with US and its partners on the other. Now that we have briefly covered those, the matter that distracted us pertains to a thought provoking comment made by Alexander Dugin - which made us think about the imagination, and how we project/create the human future through thoughts, words.
Human ingenuity, and creativity, are two of the most significant driving forces of the vast human history of civilisation, and innovation. Imagination is another factor to consider, seeing that the products of culture, language, science, technology all stem in one way or another, from ideas that take root, then transformed into real manifestations through human effort. But, that same imagination can drive a human, a society, or civilisation over the proverbial cliff’s edge - if we listen to what Alexander Dugin has to say on the topic of contemporary western collective imaginary, it sounds like a serious warning he is putting out there.

Blindspot #44 - Eyes on Iran to understand Russia’s re-imagined global strategy
Blindspot #044 - Eyes on Iran to understand Russia’s re-routed, re-oriented & re-imagined global strategy
Buiteboer // From Bunker 42
www.buiteboer.co.za
19/07/22
We have covered Larry Fink, from BlackRock, pronouncing globalisation dead on arrival in Ukraine, due to sanctions imposed on Russia. In Blindspot 33.3 we asked whether Vladmir PUTIN is the face of Eurasian resistance. Then by the time number 43 was produced, we confirmed that not only is he the face of Eurasian resistance, but, also that of Eurasian integration.
Now, in #44 we look at why all eyes should be on Tehran this week to catch a glimpse of the real-world unfolding of a fundamentally physically re-routed, geo strategically re-oriented, and re-imagined regional and global strategy of the Russian Federation. All as a result of economic war actions taken by the west.
For example, in Blindspot 43 we covered the creation of a new rail corridor, connecting St Petersburg, all the way through Iran, Tajikistan, to Mumbai in India. This is a concrete example of how not just Russia, but a host of nations in the broader Eurasian environment, have been hard at work to change logistics networks, and create new avenues for the movement of goods, due to sanctions imposed on the Russian Federation. This more than 8000km of rail is not a mere sanctions-busting corridor, it is a significant development for the larger Eurasian project.
The 19 July Tehran Summit
On the 19th of July the Iranian President will host his Russian and Turkish counterparts for a Summit focused on the Syrian conflict. But, in the previous week, it is notable that President Biden visited the region, drumming up support for a counter-Iran alliance of sorts - a plan which left with him in his back pocket, being flatly rejected by major regional powers such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia. This means, directly on the heels of Mr Biden’s short and somewhat embarrassing sojourn, Iran hosts a Summit involving Turkey and Russia.
WION News Reports on 19 July:
“Iran President Ebrahim Raisi is due to host Russian President Vladimir Putin and Turkiye President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Tehran on Tuesday (July 19)… The three-way summit is first hosted by Iran's president since he took office in 2021… The three leaders are meeting on the heels of US President Joe Biden's Middle East visit during which he visited Israel and Saudi Arabia, both regional foes of Iran… the trilateral summit is ostensibly centred on Syria, as part of the so-called Astana peace process to end more than 11 years of conflict in the Arab country. Iran, Turkey and Russia are involved in Syria conflict. Iran and Russia are supporting President Bashar al-Assad's regime while Turkey backs the rebel forces which are fighting against the regime.”

Blindspot #047 African Neutrality, flying AK47s & China blockades Taiwan
Buiteboer // From Bunker 42

20/08/22
Blindspot covers how China illustrated its capability to blockade Taiwan, immediately after Nancy Pelosi departed from Taipei. We also came across an article on New Eastern Outlook, from outside South Africa, arguing for the country maintaining a neutral stance on the Special Military Operation by Russia, in Ukraine.
We also delve into the ongoing efforts to bolster military inter-operability among Eurasian forces, as China prepares to send troops to Russia for military drills. We also note that it is probably best for South Africa to remain neutral in all this world war 3 stuff, seeing “we” only have about one operable submarine, maybe one frigate, and perhaps two fly-able fighter jets while the rest of the land-bound militia, SANDF, is needed in the DRC, Cabo del Gado, and to quell crime and insurrectionists inside South Africa. Blindspot wraps up with the crash record of so-called self-driving (smart/intelligent) cars.
I - South Africa and the special military operation in Ukraine
II - Hot on Pelosi’s heels leaving Taiwan, China illustrates blockade of Taiwan
III - China-Russia joint military drills scheduled for end of August

The impact of the Russian military neutralisation, and de-nazification operation in Ukraine, has by now, a mere three weeks later, reverberated to just about every corner of the globe. This impact comes not only in the form of ‘news’ from the frontlines. Commodities markets, oil, gas, nickel, gold, coal, corn, wheat, fertilisers - too many to mention, have spiked as markets panicked. In South Africa fuel prices are bound to sky-rocket, and consumers are warned that in about three months the price of bread might do the same.
Look at some commodities headlines from the past three weeks:
LME nickel stages a historic spike, trading above $100,000 a ton before paring gains and being subsequently halted on LME;
From MiningWeekly: Palladium prices surged as the Russia-Ukraine crisis fuelled supply worries;
The conflict is powering safe-haven gold back through the key $2 000 level;
Spot palladium jumped 5.9% to $3 173.02 per ounce, resuming its rally after slipping from an all-time high of $3 440.76.
This is not even scratching the surface.

Blindspot #038 - NATO Weapons plowed in Ukraine KillingFields, South African Mambas in the mix
Blindspot #038 - Western Weapons plowed into Ukraine Killing Fields & South African Mambas in the mix

https://buiteboer.co.za/2022/06/06/blindspot-038-western-weapons-plowed-into-ukraine-killing-fields-south-african-mambas-in-the-mix/
04/06/22
A tsunami of western weapons have been flowing into the Ukraine, not only since 24 February, 2022, but since advent of conflict in 2014. Today we are looking into three interconnected stories:
- Global military spending
- Data on military support and western weapons washing over Ukraine
- How did South African Mamba armoured vehicles end up in Ukraine?
We will find, for example, that in a mere five months (January to May, 2022), the USA alone had donated military hardware to the tune of $26bn to Ukraine, which is approximately 55-60%, of the total $41 billion, the whole African continent spent on arms in the year 2019-20 (according to DefenceWeb).
1. Global military spending in perspective
Today we are talking hard numbers. Numbers of weapons, and numbers of money thrown at arms manufacturers by states as they bolster, boost, and maintain military posture and readiness. We take some indicators from SIPRI, the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute. These numbers lays the foundation for us zooming in on the western weapons, and money for weapons, washing over the Ukraine like a rather metallically explosive tsunami.
In 2020 the USA’s military expenditure reached $778 billion, representing an increase of 4.4percent over 2019. As the world’s largest military spender, the USA accounted for 39 per cent of total military expenditure in 2020.”
Russia’s military expenditure increased by 2.5 per cent in 2020 to reach $61.7 billion. This was the second consecutive year of growth.
With a total of $59.2 billion, the UK became the fifth largest spender in 2020.
Germany increased its spending by 5.2 per cent to $52.8 billion, making it the seventh largest spender in 2020.
India ($72.9 billion), Japan ($49.1 billion), South Korea ($45.7billion) and Australia ($27.5 billion) were the largest military spenders in the Asia and Oceania region.

Phase 3 of WWIII intensifies: Russia announces partial military mobilisation to fight ‘Collective West’

Blindspot #30, exactly twenty deliveries ago, covered in-house editorial committee speculations regarding the fact that a third world war is not ‘yet to commence,’ but that it has already evolved into discernible stages of an unfolding war. The reason Blindspot #50 reverts back to remind itself of the argument(s) made then, is due to two major developments in the recent week.
The first, the recently concluded Shanghai Cooperation Organisation Summit, where Iran ascended to full membership, with a mere few days later news confirming that Iranian drones are being deployed by Russian forces in Ukraine.
The second, President Putin’s address, 21 September, on a partial military mobilisation of reserve forces in Russia, to bolster deployments in Ukraine, as well as Russian support for referendums to be held in Donetsk and Luhansk regions on incorporation into the Russian Federation.

Blindspot #029 - Cold War 2.0: Eurasia (led by Russia & China) versus ‘the rest’
Blindspot explores some issues beyond the main headlines dominating the Ukraine-Russia confrontation.
For a more detailed blog - https://buiteboer.co.za/2022/03/01/blindspot-029-cold-war-2-0-eurasia-led-by-russia-china-versus-the-rest/
Five segments of observations constitute the content of Blindspot #029, being:
I - Welcome to Cold War 2.0: Eurasia (led by Russia & China) versus ‘the rest’
II - Why start out with Iran, China, Olympics and Taiwan, if the theme of the current Blindspot asks whether Ukraine will descend into a state of perpetual insurgency?
III - Why do we ask whether Ukraine will, like Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Yemen, and Syria, be turned into a site of perpetual insurgency?
IV - Wolfstreet on the economic impact of the Ukraine invasion on the Russian market: panic & bank runs

Blindspot #027 - Forces of frigmentation at Beijing Winter War-game Olympics
The blog contains more details - https://buiteboer.co.za/2022/02/06/blindspot-27-forces-of-frigmentation-at-the-beijing-winter-war-game-olympics/
It is about frigmentation - when the worst of friction and fragmentation combine to create conditions of conflict.
Blindspot identifies a new sport code for the winter Olympics - Geopolitical warmongering... with two teams allocated: 1. The counter-NATO expansion team championed by Xi & Vladmir, 2. The anti Russia/China team led by Club Western World.
Even the briefest of moments of ‘news’ bouncing like light pulses around the data-arteries of the digitosphere, are manifestations of frigmentation, like:
In Canada truckers are bringing the country to a hyper-mobilised stand-still as the population of a ‘free country’ stand up against draconian medical measures imposed by an over-eager vaccine needle mandate wielding government.
In Mali, thousands of people took to the streets on Friday (4 February 2022) this week to celebrate the expulsion of the French ambassador to the country, and to protest against ongoing European, and particularly French forces, deployed for the epic no-end-in-sight counter-insurgency operations this country maintains in the Sahel.
Interestingly enough, Aljazeera reports that at these celebrations on Friday, people were waiving Russian flags and burned cardboard cut-outs of French President Emmanuel Macron.
The above stories, and all of those to be covered in this delivery of Blindspot can be understood better when we incorporate a concept from Buiteboer’s Searching for Madness in the Method, being: Frigmentation. Frigmentation is a portmenteau word that brings together the best of all the worst acidic characteristics of the concepts - friction and fragmentation.
