Regarding the vodka. "a politician's devotion must be absolute" Did you mean "Absolut"?

Ronald Reagan, as he was signing into law what Congress had passed to to indemnify pharma, purportedly paused, and in his innocent voice asked, “Why can’t they just make safe vaccines?”

I agree that the intelligence agencies and their media arm are really running the puppet heads of state, and that they can render them useless. My innocent question: “Why don’t they make useful leaders?”

Put down your bag. Pick up the phone. Haven’t people suffered enough?

Best on Ukraine I have read.

A red-pill post sunk with a double shot of wodka. Clear-headed analysis in such inimitable style warranting multiple reads to get synapses syncing. Satire meets truth head on. It's doubtful the assimilated will read, but nevertheless, those of us who are not will keep this printed out for persistent perusal without power, by candlelight. A vigil for the mind while others forget in their Borgian busyness, ignorant, invisible and incongruous.

All of the above in plagiarist's honor. A tip of the hat to GC.

Thank you for this. I have been feeling rather alone these days. Respectfully, I do have some related sources for people interested in these concerns.

John Joseph Mearsheimer, former US Air Force officer and the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor at the University of Chicago, is no one's peacenik or hippy-dippy progressive. His 2015 lecture “The Causes and Consequences of the Ukraine Crisis” is available on YouTube. It has aged frightening well: a modern-day prophecy of unerring depth and detail. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4

His 2014 Foreign Affairs article, claiming that the “the United States and its European allies share most of the responsibility” for the 2014 crisis is available here: https://www.mearsheimer.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Why-the-Ukraine-Crisis-Is.pdf

He argued: "The taproot of the trouble is NATO enlargement, the central element of a larger strategy to move Ukraine out of Russia’s orbit and integrate it into the West. At the same time, the EU’s expansion eastward and the West’s backing of the pro-democracy movement in Ukraine—beginning with the Orange Revolution in 2004—were critical elements, too. "

Aaron Mate on the Jimmy Dore show did an outstanding smackdown of the war-mongering progressives. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xt3Zv-e4n1M&t=835s

Jimmy Dore actually has quite a few good vids now.

I have my own reflections and links to more related resources here: Some context for Putin's paranoia @ https://americanexile.substack.com/p/some-context-for-putins-paranoia

Thanks again. Much needed sanity in our current insanity.

The knuckleheads who are lamenting the plight of Ukranians are the same knuckleheads who lamented the plight of the Kurds. Because, CNN said so.

Just found your excellent internet place ..... what do you think about Herr Schwab bragging about Putin, Trudeau and Merkel being his minions? Has Putin gone off the reservation? Is he tired of being the Great Reset boy? An American named Russell "Tex" Benteley who is living in Western Ukraine in one of the breakaway areas opines that he believes Biden and Putin already had a plan to let Russian resume control of most of Ukraine up to the Kiev area (where most of the good stuff is...) and let the US save face by having the worthless area West of Kiev ....

This (outstanding) article for Reader's Digest:

"The Deep State is winding down overt COVID-19 biofascism because they've got the health passport infrastructure underway and the optics are absolutely ruining their sock puppet, the DNC. In fact, the DNC looks so shitty all of a sudden that lots of American voters are seriously considering asking someone else to prom or maybe even going to the dance at another school.

People are flocking rightward. Rights love war and jingoism and hero underdog stories and riding Jesus dinosaurs and shit, right? Let's start lionizing the defender here because if he goes down and FSB starts going through the records, Grey Eagle or Parmesan Picasso may be in deep shit. Start telling a war story. Stop the COVID-19 stories. They're finally starting to annoy people."

The End.

A few years ago I was looking into buying some dividend paying stocks, and many Russian stocks fit the bill. I came across an article talking about the Nordstream 2 pipeline being built from Russia to Germany. I bought some Gazprom since it seemed like a good investment. A while later I got a little worried when I read an article stating that the US State department was trying to talk Germany into scrubbing the project. I remember thinking what possible reason could the US State Department have for trying to scuttle a deal that ostensibly they had nothing to do with. Then more trouble when I found out Hunter Biden was indirectly on the natural gas payroll by being given a n undeserved, highly suspect board position on Ukrainian gas company Burisma. I started becoming concerned that the pipeline was squarely in the crosshairs of the US military-industrial-intelligence complex, and that they would figure out a way to destroy it. And low and behold, Putin is provoked over and over again into an invasion, and the first thing Germany does is scrub the pipeline deal. Good Citizen, how do you think this pipeline issue has played into this whole fiasco?

Right on target and the only thing I might add, is my suspicion that the USA has a good number of "Bio Labs" scattered around the Ukraine and there is a mention of the Gas company paying Hunter Biden over $83K a month for his expertise, is planning a pipeline to extract energy from Afghanistan, now that the Taliban has been prepaid with military equipment Hunter's daddy left behind. PS, caught me penniless. Hope to have a little something left, next week, if and when my Soc.Sec. check manages to get to me.
