The war in Ukraine enters day 14 and there is still no sign of an end in sight. What is going on on the ground and how can we cut through the propaganda to find out what is actually going on?
00:00:00.160Ladies and gentlemen, I have to take a minute to talk about the fragile state of the U.S. dollar and what it means for you.
00:00:05.980We are in for a tough year. Biden's printing and spending could be catastrophic for the U.S. dollar and the market and worse.
00:00:11.980We know that the U.S. dollar is now on the ropes as continuing to be the U.S. world reserve currency.
00:00:18.820The petrodollar is, for lack of a better term, in its final stages.
00:00:24.920What does that mean? What does that mean for you? What does it mean for your family?
00:00:27.200I recommend that you diversify with gold and silver now, and the only company that I recommend is Allegiance Gold.
00:00:33.040My friends at Allegiance Gold can help you protect your IRA or 401k with physical gold and silver or have it delivered securely right to your door.
00:00:41.660They will educate you on the benefits of physical gold because they care and they want to build long-term relationships.
00:00:47.380Allegiance Gold has the highest rating from third-party consumer protection agencies, five stars with TrustLink,
00:00:52.220and they're AAA rated with the Better Business Bureau and the Business Consumer Alliance.
00:00:56.480So you get $500 of free silver that's a special offer on a qualifying purchase when you tell them that Poso sent you.
00:01:02.340So do not wait. Go. Take action. Go to the website today.
00:01:57.840And finally, huge news out of Project Veritas.
00:02:01.140A New York Times reporter admitted to them that the January 6th media coverage was an overreaction and that they discovered tons of federal informants on the ground on January 6th.
00:02:12.300All this and we're ahead, Human Events Daily.
00:02:13.720All right, today's top story will continue to be our top story as this war continues.
00:02:55.260Here's the assessment that comes out of the Institute for the Study of War.
00:02:58.700And these guys, these guys are, this is a very neocon institute.
00:03:02.340So I don't want anyone to accuse me of, you know, oh, Posobik's using propaganda from Putin.
00:03:06.720No, no, no, no, is a very, very pro USA, pro neocon, if anything, huge anti-Russia, you know, bias when it comes to this.
00:03:16.920So let's actually go through from their assessment.
00:03:19.840Russian forces continued concentrating on the eastern, northwestern and western outskirts of Kiev for an assault on the capital in the coming 24 to 96 hours.
00:03:29.640The reported appearance of forces belonging to Chechen leader Ramzan Kadirov, Russia's Rogosarvia Internal Security Formations and the Liga, former Wagner, private military company in the western outskirts of Kiev may indicate that the Russian military is struggling to assemble sufficient conventional combat power to launch its assault on the capital.
00:03:49.720See, I would actually disagree with their assessment right there.
00:03:52.020I think it shows that they are combining forces.
00:03:55.840Remember, the operation on Kiev is going to involve multiple insertion teams as well as encirclement.
00:04:04.580And go back and look at World War II and the way that the Russians, the Soviet Army at the time, of course, the Red Army, took down Berlin, the Battle of Berlin, which we in the United States and in the West really don't talk about this very much.
00:04:17.060There's no movies about the Battle of Berlin.
00:04:18.900And, you know, you can probably get more information from it from a Sabaton song than you ever will from studying U.S. popular culture.
00:05:31.580But when I see that they're sending Katerov, they're sending some Chechens into Kiev, they're sending Wagner, now known as Lika, what does that tell me?
00:05:41.140They're probably going to get special assignments.
00:05:43.160Those are your government capture units.
00:05:44.840They're going to be sent after politicians.
00:05:46.600Remember, their strategic objective, one of their main strategic objectives in Kiev is not occupation.
00:05:54.160They want the collapse of the Ukrainian government.
00:05:56.940Clearly, and we've heard this again and again from Vladimir Putin, they want to achieve a shutdown of the government there, but not a full occupation of the city.
00:06:06.980They just don't have the numbers to achieve that, and they're probably not going to.
00:06:11.420So you look at the rest of it, that's what they're going to be doing.
00:06:14.180Now, you're also seeing in Mariupol down in the south.
00:06:20.520Next, Ukrainian forces are attempting to challenge the Russian lines reaching from Sumay, which Russian forces have yet to take to the eastkern outskirts of Kiev.
00:06:30.640They're not trying to take the city directly.
00:06:32.440Third, Russian troops are likely attempting to bypass Mikolaev and cross the southern Bug River, upriver of that city to permit an advance on Odessa, combined with an impending amphibious operation against the city.
00:06:43.120And Crimean forces are also driving north from Crimea to the city of Zaporozhytia.
00:06:48.720Zaporozhytia is also where the nuclear plan is.
00:06:51.620So understand, what we see going on down on the ground is this continued encirclement and envelopment operations.
00:06:57.760Now, we know that in the southern port city of Odessa, that's definitely a strategic target.
00:07:03.180That's probably going to be the further most western point of this advance.
00:07:08.140Because if you control Odessa, that is the last port city until you get to the border with Moldova and Romania.
00:07:14.760This is your final chance for any Ukrainian city to have any kind of actual port access to the Black Sea.
00:07:23.040You take Odessa, and now you've got entire control of the Black Sea.
00:07:27.960Any economic assistance, any military assistance that you're trying to get through there, that will be completely cut off.
00:07:33.640In the city of Mariupol, at this point, you've got Azov Battalion in there, you've got local troops, and even though it is completely encircled and is still technically within the hands of the Ukrainians that are defending it, they don't have any meaningful access points.
00:07:48.840Now, we've been hearing this back and forth as well about these humanitarian corridors trying to get the civilians out.
00:07:53.780Both sides accuse the other of being the ones who are blocking that from happening.
00:07:58.520But another great example of go and look at some of the maps that you've seen on this thing, understandingwar.org, that's where I'm pulling this map from, the Institute for the Study of War, to understand, look, these guys have an anti-Russia bias, so I don't necessarily agree with all of their assessments, but they do a great job of outlining what you're seeing on the ground.
00:08:17.360The difference is how you interpret what they see on the ground, because you're hearing people say, oh, well, they're moving so slowly because they clearly have logistics issues, and they're overextended, they don't have the numbers, they don't have the ability to fight back, they're just sitting ducks.
00:08:32.600Maybe, right, maybe, that's one read of it.
00:08:35.140But another read of it is simply that it's their strategy.
00:08:38.100And any good analyst is going to consider alternative explanations, really an analysis of competing hypotheses that could explain the same sets of evidence and same sets of information that we're seeing on the ground, right?
00:08:50.160If they wanted to push in, they would do so.
00:08:52.520And the first thing that you would see, by the way, if they were in a situation where they actually wanted to take out a city, right, you would see those cruise missile strikes.
00:09:00.960You would see more bombardments from air.
00:09:02.980We're not seeing that yet in any of these major cities.
00:09:05.780Yes, we've seen some, clearly, and obviously, we've seen artillery being used on these cities.
00:09:10.660We've seen shelling being done in areas where there's urban combat going on.
00:09:14.700And we've seen the takedown of that TV tower, that TV antenna in the middle of Kiev, which, of course, is another strategic target for the Russians, because for the Ukrainians, that was their central node for being able to communicate throughout the country.
00:09:28.080You take that out, you strike a blow in the propaganda war.
00:09:30.860And, of course, there's a propaganda war being fought by both sides on this.
00:09:33.660You've got false claims coming from everywhere.
00:09:36.360But in the very next segment, we're going to get into one of those very such claims.
00:09:41.180So remember, there are two strategic objectives for both sides in this fight.
00:09:46.060The strategic objective for the Russians is to knock out the Ukrainian government, regime collapse, and then eventually regime change.
00:09:53.000That's their strategic and political objective for this entire war.
00:09:55.800The long-term objective, of course, is the decoupling that we've been talking about, the parallel economy, the second world economy, that they're working with China, potentially working with India, Brazil, and Europe, by the way.
00:10:09.420They're continuing to work with Europe because, remember, Europe is still going to continue buying Russian oil and Russian gas.
00:10:14.980They've been working on this process for years.
00:10:18.000They want to take down the petrodollar, and the petrodollar system is what keeps the United States dollar as the world reserve currency.
00:10:27.260Now, we know the U.S. dollar isn't backed by gold, but you could make an argument that because U.S. dollars are the backbone of the SWIFT system,
00:10:35.180and the U.S. works very hard so that all foreign oil purchases must be conducted in U.S. dollars,
00:10:41.380you could make the argument then that the U.S. petrodollar system is actually what backs up the U.S. dollar.
00:10:48.780And so the U.S. dollar is backed by something.
00:10:51.380It's not just floating out there artificially.
00:11:29.860And then the other countries are going to look around and say,
00:11:31.840well, maybe it doesn't make sense for us to be conducting these transactions within the U.S. dollar.
00:11:35.580So that's why Biden is right now going down to Venezuela.
00:11:38.940That's why he's obviously going to be making a deal with Maduro.
00:11:41.760And he's going to be begging and pleading for the Venezuelans and Maduro to please, please, please make these purchases in the U.S. dollar.
00:12:52.920But, but the U.S. dollar staying strong and the U.S. dollar being that world reserve currency does benefit Americans.
00:13:01.380And the social and cultural ramifications, second order and third order effects of the U.S. dollar becoming massively devalued overnight
00:13:11.440and having all those people, and I keep talking about this, lose their savings overnight.
00:13:17.060You got $1,000 in the bank, $2,000 in the bank, middle Americans, working class Americans.
00:13:22.400That's going to lead to a situation of complete societal breakdown, far worse than anything that we saw in the rioting during the lockdowns, the George Floyd riots, all of this.
00:13:35.040It would be 10 times worse if the U.S. dollar suddenly becomes, you know, completely devalued.
00:13:41.420Because then you're going to have competition for scarce resources on the ground, and nobody is going to be paying attention to the law.
00:14:45.160And even though we oppose this invasion, we have to understand what's actually going on,
00:14:50.160and we have to be truthful about what's happening on the ground and what's happening in not only the economic world war that we're in,
00:14:56.760but the information world war that we're in.
00:14:59.500Yesterday, the Undersecretary of State of the United States of America, Victoria Nuland, came out publicly and stated that the United States is working with Ukraine to prevent bioresearch facilities from falling into Russian hands.
00:15:14.780Go listen to this clip, this incredible exchange between her and Marco Rubio,
00:15:20.220and just listen to the concern and trepidation in her voice when she testified yesterday to the, I believe, yeah, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
00:15:29.780Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?
00:15:34.060Ukraine has biological research facilities, which, in fact, we are now quite concerned.
00:15:43.820Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how they can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.
00:16:03.560If there's a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside of Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians that would be behind it?
00:16:12.280There is no doubt in my mind, Senator, and it is classic Russian technique to blame on the other guy, what they're planning to do themselves.
00:16:22.400And then Rubio's response, what is going on with that?
00:16:25.640The question was, does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?
00:16:32.720She says Ukraine has, and she's being very careful with her words, biological research facilities.
00:16:38.440And then the very next question or the very next sentence that she says is, we're very concerned that Russian troops and Russian forces may be seeking to be in control of it.
00:16:47.720Well, yeah, something tells me that that's not just Pepto-Bismol and ibuprofen and a couple of, you know, Cepacil cold drop your cough drops that are in these facilities.
00:16:57.460These are the same types of pathogens that look, and National Pulse has the story and huge shout out to the team over there, that this was a program that was started by then Senator Barack Obama and lots of other senators and congressmen went along with this, of course, where the United States was going into the former Soviet countries and they were propping up these bio labs with U.S. funding in order to control or put a lock on the Soviet bioweapons program.
00:17:24.240We know that the Soviet bioweapons program, which is largely based in Kazakhstan, but also had multiple nodes around all of these countries, had some of the most extensive pathogen development and bioweapon development in the world.
00:17:38.720And then the question becomes, were these facilities simply holding them in frozen stasis, try to keep them safe?
00:17:47.200You know, were these holding facilities where this stuff could be kept down, locked on lockdown and archived or were, but as Victoria Nolan says, were they conducting active research with these?
00:17:59.220And if so, what was the nature of that research?
00:18:01.800And so Russian disinformation and Russian propaganda has been saying for years that these are active bioweapons programs.
00:18:20.360And the problem with that is one word, two syllables, Wuhan.
00:18:23.780Wuhan, they told us that everything that was going on in Wuhan was being done for primarily medical research and we're going to keep people safe.
00:18:34.220If there's ever a coronavirus outbreak, you know, we're going to have the treatments ready right on the shelf.
00:18:38.720Yeah, they didn't have any of those treatments ready.
00:18:40.480And I remember that, you know, certainly there was no plan.
00:18:43.200And then nobody even told us the truth.
00:18:45.720You know, we had to go in and do the digging on war room pandemic about this two years ago.
00:18:50.900Right. Talking about EcoHealth Alliance, talking about Peter Daszak, The Lancet.
00:18:55.500And at the same time, unbeknownst to us, it was the very people that were conducting those gain of function experiments, building chimeric viruses, working with humanized mice, giving them.
00:20:09.500But then Senator Marco Rubio, his response was possibly in.
00:20:14.060And I know people are more focused on what Victoria Nuland said.
00:20:16.220Victoria Nuland, by the way, go watch Ukraine on fire by the great Oliver Stone to give you a background of all of Victoria Nuland's role in the start of the overthrow of the Ukrainian government.
00:20:39.320Her husband directly all over the Iraq war.
00:20:41.380In fact, for that institute for the study of war, that was her brother in law who actually wrote that report that I was reading from the last segment.
00:20:48.760So, you know, strong, strong neoconservatives there.
00:20:51.360These people know exactly what's going on.
00:20:53.860So my question for everybody then becomes what exactly were they doing in the biolabs?
00:21:03.160And Rubio, his response is, well, if there's a false flag bioweapon attack, it's definitely Russia.
00:21:29.960And I think everyone can understand this is one of the most bizarre exchanges that you've ever seen on the floor of the Senate, because it seems like both of them are trying to talk about something without actually saying it.
00:21:40.860We don't actually know what that something is, but you can see if you watch the video, she's like fidgeting with her pen.
00:21:45.880She's white tipped, you know, fingers as she's gripping onto this thing.
00:21:49.240She does not look, you know, you don't have to be a behavioral, you know, body language analyst to understand that that was somebody who did not want to be having this conversation.
00:22:01.720Victoria Noland, Senator Rubio, everyone needs to come clean about what was going on in those labs, because I guarantee you the Russians are about to put all of it on the world stage.
00:22:15.580And they're going to they are going to accuse the United States of performing WMD tests inside of Ukraine.
00:22:23.220I guarantee you that's going to be the next move in all this.
00:22:26.160So hold on to your hats, get in front of it and just tell the truth.
00:23:38.880Do it for your country and do it for your children's future.
00:23:41.700Next up, Russia's invasion to impact U.S. agriculture.
00:23:45.700Not a lot of people are talking about this, but we dug this up out of the Montana Agriculture Network,
00:23:51.680something that no one is talking about, that the financial markets are getting hit.
00:23:55.160The U.S. dollar is getting hit, but we haven't even talked about the food scarcity and the food shortages that are going to be coming because of this war.
00:24:02.560The prices are going to be going up and up and up.
00:24:05.640Understand, agricultural inputs, crops, the fertilizer that we get, guess what?
00:24:11.64029% of the world's global wheat exports come from where?
00:24:58.820So understand how all of these inputs are going in to directly affect you and your home and your family's bottom line as all of this continues.
00:25:07.280That's why we here at Human Events Daily, we're not just going to talk about, and of course, we will talk, obviously, about the human cost of this, the humanitarian crisis, why we completely impose this war, why we absolutely stand for peaceful negotiations, figure out a way to end this killing and this fighting and the bloodshed.
00:25:24.440But also understand, we talk, one thing that we do here that you don't hear on corporate media, we talk about second order effects and third order effects.
00:25:32.360We talk about the NATO hot potato when it comes to the Russian MIG or the, you know, the Russian made MIGs that from Poland, Poland said, oh, we're going to give them to the U.S.
00:25:42.140The U.S. said, no, no, no, just give them to Ukraine.
00:25:44.060And they said, no, we'll give them to you.
00:26:23.960Well, because that is how fast the average ScoreMaster user takes to boost his or her credit score, an average of 61 points.

00:27:24.040We're the ones, not Fox, not Brett Barber, who actually went in and covered the fact that, like, there were a ton of FBI informants on the people who attacked the Capitol.
00:28:30.640If it seems like they know what they're doing, if it seems like they have an agenda, it's because they do.
00:28:35.860They know exactly what they're doing and they know exactly how they are playing around with your emotions, your confirmation biases in order to get clicks, in order to sell newspapers, in order to make themselves seem more important than they actually are.
00:28:53.460And that's it. That is all the time we have on Human Events Daily.
00:28:56.320Look, I could talk about these issues again and again all day long.
00:28:59.420We could do three-hour episodes of this every day.
00:29:01.460But our promise, our oath, our solemn vow to you is to be good, be brief, be gone.
00:29:06.420So today we covered the military on the ground, what's actually happening situation, a situational awareness update for everyone.
00:29:13.480One, the Russian offensive campaign assessment, we talked about Victoria Nuland, the bio labs, they said it was a conspiracy, turned out to be true.
00:29:20.000Next, we gave you the information about the war on agriculture, fertilizer, we are in an economic and informational world war that's already begun.
00:29:28.320So understand and take the steps to make yourself and your family safe.
00:29:32.020And finally, we talked about this incredible, incredible scoop, bombshell scoop, right, scoop from Project Veritas, getting us the information of what's going on behind the scenes at the New York Times.
00:29:45.400But before we go, it's time for today's history break.
00:29:48.860Today, March 9th, 1776, Adam Smith published the influential economics book, The Wealth of Nations.
00:29:57.020Highly recommend you guys actually read it.
00:29:58.360I read Wealth of Nations myself for the first time when I was living in China, by the way, living in Shanghai when I was in my early 20s.
00:30:06.040And not so everybody talks about the fact that he brings up this idea of the free market, the invisible hand.
00:30:10.500But it's really a fantastic overview of the economy of the British Empire and the mercantilist policies of the United, not the United States, because it didn't exist at the time, but wouldn't exist for a couple of more months until July 4th, right?
00:30:25.740Which is coming up. But it gives you an entire overview of the British Empire and the way it all worked.
00:30:32.300And they even talk about China a little bit, believe it or not.
00:30:34.520So Adam Smith, Wealth of Nations, don't just read the one page that they talk about with the invisible hand.
