Russian Air Power “Mystery” Explained

I found you can listen to all Duran stuff without commercials if you go to their web page and watch the embedded videos. Of course it still takes Mecurous an hour to explain what should take 5 minutes.

As for Christianity the ideas of turn the other cheek and give onto Ceasar what is Ceasars sounds like slavery to me. BTW, who determines what is Ceasars? Those you turn the other cheek to.

(This post has nothing to do with the war or current events, but about religion just FYI) Weird story but my uncle was the head of the Baptist church in Florida for like seven years. He inherited the family lumber business that my grandfather created in the early seventies, after a few years went by in the early 2000’s, he sold the company along with half the remaining stock options that all the siblings had to their name to a giant monopoly. Now being extremely rich, he then went on to create many more small to medium sized business and was known as a cut throat businessman around town. He became very religious when his current wife’s family (car dealership owners) basically told him he needed to quit boozing and partying all the time so he converted so he could marry the daughter. After my father died a few years ago, I’m pretty sure my dad told him to take me under his wing and we met for about a year, every few weeks, before the work day. Each meeting he forced/encouraged me to do a mentoring Bible study program which I never asked for. After about a year I just didn’t get into it, I too saw far to many holes in the logic and history, and so I told him I didn’t want to keep doing it. Ever since then I think we’ve met about twice and had about 3-4 phone calls, but I could tell he was done with me. If I wasn’t spouting Bible versus and going to church he would just cut you out of his life, and that included everyone not just me. For instance his family stopped going to Christmas and thanksgiving dinners about ten years ago (these are his own brother and sisters and children etc.) and would spend time with his wife’s family instead and the religious group he kept. He now lives in a 14 million dollar house on the beach and has a giant ranch in Texas.(WWJD?) Also after my dad passed, my dad had a Thompson machine gun that grandpa came back with from Japan. He somehow took this gun for himself (along with many of my dads other guns ) and did not reimburse my brother or I for it. I’ve thought about calling the feds on him for this. Anyway I guess what I’m saying is that one of the most religious people I know is also one of the biggest scum bags I know. He steals from his own family, puts them out of work, he ignores them if they don’t praise Jesus 24/7 or go to church and he’s also a dirty businessman from what many people had told me. I sometime think god is testing me or something with this dbag but it’s hard to say. He’s the executor of my grandfathers estate so I can’t call him out yet on all of this bullshit as things are still being settled, but I think about it constantly, how someone who is supposed to be so sanctimonious and religious is not in the least bit. Sorry for the long rant but when you said that the church was bullshit, I felt compelled to give my 2 cents, as I have had to bottle up my feelings for so long. If there is a heaven or hell, he’s got a lot of explaining to do.

Jacob you may not believe in God, but I think your morals are derived from those who did ( and do).

On the ‘Russian Air Power’ I suspected as much. After reading what you had written, didn’t make me feel any better. Combat soldiers sure as hell are in hell. Nightmarish!!!

“It could be an ENTIRELY NEW RELIGION”

I believe it is a very old religion, paganism, which can take on many forms and worship many different spirits/gods. Think of the Climate Change fanatics. They are clearly pagans who worship nature. They are probably looking for wood sprites, elves and the like. The National Socialists were a particular sect of this group. The leader was vegetarian to boot. Then there are the worshipers of Moloch sacrificing children, even those making it through unsuccessful abortions. Of course, we must not forget the globohomo and transgender clique’. They are probably out trying to capture Pan, a centaur or various other freaks of nature one encountered in ancient mythology.

The Judas thing is actually easy to explain. His body was bloated, hanging and suffocating as he struggled with a noise around his neck, the bodily fluids release, piss, sh*t, sweat, saliva, snots etc. As they hack off the branch to get you down you make for a messy drop as the body hits the rocky ground. As far as the aborted children there was always a debate rewards issued without ever participating in the prize. NT uses Greek ethical thought about the cultivation of virtues. Yes dying before born or as a babe would be best as you get into heaven, but the thought was why should they have it easy, compared to the guy who struggled his whole life and got shit on by the masses instead. In this life is where you cultivate your virtues and talents, it’s what the Parable of the Talents is about.

We can all agree that orthodox Christianity is the only true branch of the religion :). That being said, my personal belief is that Chriatianity was the next step in evolution of human consciousness (Buddhism looks like the same process in a different region). In contrast with the old testament cruelty and biblical punishments (Dreizin seems a fan of).

Glad that you addressed the demography problems, Dreizin. It is much worse in other areas.

In Serbia, Romania, Bulgaria etc. it is the same story. I guess Serbia is quite happy that it got those 100k+ Russians who fled idiotically from their motherland in 2022, since Serbia is losing some 50k people EACH YEAR by brain drain. As far as I remember the same amount of unborn babies gets aborted EACH YEAR there. The only good thing for the Serbs/Romanians is that they go to Austria and Germany in most cases and stay near their home countries (bring in reserves).

Whole towns of Romania are empty and you can’t find no qualified personnel to do specific works (plumbers, electricians, …). Some rightist oriented Austrians I talk to are always complaining about “THE MONEY” that goes to new EU members and how the “RICH” EU-members have to finance countries like Romania. I then have to explain to them that those financial aids are connected to a forced destruction of local industries in those countries and to the replacement by “western” products they have to buy with the “aid”, including a depopulation. They are almost always shocked.

Every time I hear about possible conflicts in the Balcans I ask myself with which armies they want to kill each other.
Bosnia had a 1990-population of ca. 4,5Mio people, now it has ca. 3,5Mio inhabitants. Croatia, in numbers almost the same story (from 4,5Mio to 3,8Mio).

Some Western Europeans are quite happy that they have an increasing population, somehow they interpret this as a good thing. But the devil is in the details, you addressed that as well. Many of the people that have arrived in the past 10-15 years are often uneducated people from some tribal areas. They don’t always understand the concept of democracy and the rights and duties that come with it. They can’t do meaningful work. But they are all represented by the most woke and “open minded” parties (like the fucking Greens) that defame everybody as fascist who asks certain questions.

Somewhere along the line you will have whole regions where the population belongs to more than 50% to a certain ethnic group or religion. What democratic tool will you use to prevent a referendum on independence? What will you do? In contrast to America or Australia there are no realistic mechanisms or selection methods for proper assimilation in Europe.

The ironic thing is: Some 80 years ago fascists in Germany and all around Europe persecuted and killed the best integrated, most assimilated and most competent ethnic and religious minority in Europes history.

Chirstianity conquered by all the arts of war… it was imposed and helped to pacify the people

a good shepherd has to eat too and make compromises wih qll the packs of wolves around his flock…

Communists tried to destroy Christianity and sterile childless American war criminals and their vassals pigs will be replaced in a generation. No spawn no civilisation – they will simply be moved to the old scrap heap and discarded like their grubby military.

Who would serve the anus of the Biden shit ? As the saying goes ‘I would not piss on NATO scum if they were on fire!’.

I have found it only takes ten minutes of browsing the more popular Russian Telegram channels to get caught up on on an hour of A. Mercouris daily talking points. Thanks for effort and time you put into this blog.

i really respect your position on Mercuris. How anyone can listen to one of his short shows usually an hour is beyond me. His relentless droning on and on and on about nothing at all really is enough to cure narcolepsy.

However one of the most distasteful things he does is after droning on about those Ukranian dead and injured at the front line he usually ends with a very distasteful snigger or laugh or what ever one would call it and someone should give him a kick where the sun don’t shine and explain to him the benefits of not laughing at the dead or injured.

anyway thanks for the interesting post.

Dreizen….good one. Some really thought provoking points. Your point about control of Ukrainian airspace was a real revelation. It explains so much about the tempo and tactics of this war. No modern military can operate without air support. I’ve had a feeling for some time that the long awaited grand Russian Winter/Spring/Summer offensive will never materialize. If it could have, it already would have. The airspace point you make explains that perfectly. I feel enlightened! Now I understand some of the reason for the wild arrogance of Western pundits about this war. It will be interesting to see how the Russians solve this problem. They’re smart people with a lot of resources. This trickery won’t hold them back forever.

Was cringing when you switched to religion, but that’s OK. I don’t think Judaism will ever become dominant. It’s too much of a closed cult. I watched a friend who married a Jew try to join. He was tolerated because of his wife but never accepted because his mother wasn’t Jewish. That was all people needed to hear. End of story. Door slammed in his face. The real power of Judaism is that it operates as a tight knit conspiracy of mutual support – but that’s a huge double edged sword. It’s the reason it cannot really grow except via the birth rate of Jewish mothers, and the reason it will always be mistrusted and occasionally openly attacked by the non-Jewish majority.

Christianity is full of holes, as you point out, but so is any religion based on mythology. That’s just the way it works. It’s expected. Irrelevant. What matters is if people find a critical mass of truth in the teachings. Enough truth to satisfy their basic human religious impulse. Both Judaism and Christianity are based on collections of much older sacred writings plagiarized and re-purposed, but there is enough power and truth in those ancient teachings to more than satisfy a practitioner. I think your declaration of the death of Christianity is a bit premature. The revival or Orthodox Christianity in Russia is a major driver holding their society together. It’s a major source of their cultural strength.

Just as mainstream media obscures the truth about news, so too mainstream religion has spent centuries obscuring Bible truth. The Catholic Church tortured and burned people at the stake for just reading it. So, to conflate apostate religion with the Bible is a mistake. The same persecution of truth tellers can be true today.

‘Render unto Caesar’ is a case in point. The second part of Christ’s phrase is conveniently omitted by so-called Christian religions; ‘…render unto God what is God’s’.

What is ‘God’s’? According to Christ it is to be no part of the world…its politics, its mores etc..

Why? Because Christians have already voted for a government by God. It’s called God’s Kingdom. All Christians preach this (not a select paid clergy class as in Christendom. The early Christians were all brothers and sisters and all were ministers there was no clergy class). They were all individually commanded by Christ to spread this good news of God’s world government.

Which is why the true Christian today is easily identifiable by their neutrality politically, does not vote, salute flags, sing national anthems and does not serve in any military and also why today they are still targets for persecution (as is the case in Russia right now and many other countries that demand political or religious allegiances linked with their nationalism. As was true in WW2 in the USA and other allied countries and Nazi Germany where they were sent to death camps for their stand on these matters).

N.B. The Bible does not teach anywhere the immortality of the soul or hellfire teachings…these are unbiblical ideas adopted by Judaism and Christendom and later Islam and find no scriptural support.

Liked “Because we don’t fucking matter.” This is so true yet most ppl don’t get it. I’ve worked in the belly of fortune 500 companies most of my 40 year career, been a fly on the wall in a few CEO meetings, had access to their books and seen shit, so I can say with 100% certainty they actually hate us, they hate labor, they hate their consumers. Plan and simple. We are just another form of cannon fodder to the corporate world.

Use the Brave browser (as far as I know it is the most private one available) and an added benefit is YouTube ads are blocked! Woot!!!

This is probably one of the reason why “the west” don’t care much about cruise missiles and lots of artilery (who even cares about Ukrainian cannon fodder-there is more on the streets of Ukraine and Europe) Russians use, and make big fuss about cheap drones and possible tactical nukes in Ukraine. They are effective.

Regarding Christianity, it obviously wasn’t meant to be big religion and institution, but personal faith and small community of believers. Still, I wouldn’t trade it for any other that is currently offered. Rather clean the one we have. Maybe it’s upbringing and culture in my country. And who cares what happened to Judas. He could be killed in freak yachting accident.

NT has discrepancies. It’s not a new discussion.

And who says Christians should only do what Jesus instructed regarding social issues. Yes, as a person you should follow his words, for yourself. And be ready, as he said. As a part of society, you should improve things around you. Jesus didn’t say to build sewer. It doesn’t mean we shouldn’t build sewer.

Abortion is barbaric. Ripping appart babies in bellies of their mothers is not civilized.

You are a rare analyst who complains about the length of a podcast. I used to be in marketing before retirement and am mystified by the popularity of 2 hour plus podcasts and video casts.

Your point on expanding the length to have more ads is, I am sure, correct. But I am puzzled by why they are popular. I can understand why some elderly homebound people might have one playing while they putter around the house but why are these 2 to 4 hour casts popular with young or working people? Even at 2 x there is usually only about 15 minutes of content crammed into 2+ hours. This might make sense 100 years ago but in an age of reduced attention spans??? I honestly don’t get it.

I know educated, smart (those traits aren’t always mutually exclusive) men who will watch a 4 hour video but even your posts are stretching and maybe surpassing the bounds of how much they will read.

Even infomercials drone on forever these days.

Can anyone explain this?

This blog has a strange obsession with Mercouris.

Christianity is a great white man’s religion because it is all about ME and how great I am.

The new religion is politics. We will be saved by the next great leader. This next election is the biggest one ever.

Religion has been with man ever since he asked questions. I think you are very correct to say that there is a potential for a new religion. I look at the religions that have been around and everyone of them became outdated at one point because they became illogic, or cruel or just plain dumb and a burden. So I agree with you it is very possible something is coming. Especially since the same old questions still have not been answered. Big Bang my ass. Until they can come up with a better explanation the prime mover unmoved is a better explanation to me. That you bring this even up Dreizin … you got my respect.

Jacob, as you can see your comments on Jesus was pretty successful get people involved. You hit the nail with the problem of the first century christianity, all scriptures was written under the impression he would come again SOON and this was the issue for the whole development of Christianity in the years to come. I think this is the mystery of faith, because even Paul was believing you will come soon he also mentioned and believed with this final death, if He was not resurrected our faith would be worthless. I admire your honesty and openness, thank you for this!

Compared to other eastern European countries Poland is not getting that heavily depopulated because it is standard to have two kids and quite often families have three or more kids which for a white nation nowadays is not common. Also they are developing very rapidly mainly due to investments from Germany. What you saw in the UK in 2008 was normal as there was a flood of immigrants from any Eastern European country after it got accepted in the EU because people think the West is “The Promised Land” and everything there is green and great so when they get to the UK they get slapped in the face with racism and xenophobia that go deep in all levels of society. Of course you can imagine how great you feel when you are white, christian European and you get treated worse then Indians, Africans and Muslims. Usually people tend to get back home to their country when things are getting better home but many swallow their pride and stay. None the less Poland had a huge immigration after WW2 and still they managed. I bow my head in respect to their genius if they are truly incorporating Ukrainians into their country and culture, maybe the west should watch and learn from them but since the poles are very very nationalistic ( which in the current crisis is proving to be a bad characteristic) I don’t think the Ukrainians will be accepted in society very quickly in such high numbers.
Regarding Mercouris and the other Alex I think people tend to forget that people on the internet usually have an agenda, making money is a normal agenda but lets say when you argue with your friend over a topic they try to convince you but they do not have an agenda so Mercouris’ 1 + hour rambling about the War when he can say these things in less than 10 minutes is just business. The other Alex especially sometimes says things are that over exaggerated or not true because he is anti EU, pro russia etc. Both are probably paid by Russia like many other youtubers are definitely paid by the west.
In order to convince you these youtubers or whatever usually omit important details of a particular subject, I am yet to hear a ukrainian mentioning that Crimea was transferred to Ukraine by Khrushchev in 1954, or a russian to mention the force Deportation of at least 220 000 Tatars ( mainly women, children and elderly) from Crimea after WW2 and about 15 000 greeks and bulgarians among other nations because they were “nazi collaborators”, or a Russian to mention the Holodomor etc etc. You must always check where these youtubers come from if possible and how their ideas and mentality were formed and take what they are saying with a grain of salt ( Scott Ritter working with Russians in the 80s, having a vodka or two after work, of course he is pro Russia, come on). This is why I like Dreizin because he is exposing these people which is very important.
