This teenager, below, in Kharkov…..
…..(one of the Ukraine’s many “Russian” cities)…..
Tells a brief, but very interesting, story…..
…..(which I will analyze, in the context of other information.)
Then…..
HE HANGS HIMSELF (or does he?)…..
…..on camera.
You’ve been warned. Obviously, you don’t have to watch to the end. And, keep in mind, all of my emails come with an “unsubscribe” link, which is fairly prominent, not buried in fine print.
My translation of his message:
“I don’t know, where to start. Not that long ago, we buried (my) father, who died in the war. And now, evidently, they’ve decided to finish me off (as well.) I don’t want to serve in the Ukrainian army. But they gave me a draft summons. Signed by some (speech not clear… may be a jumbling of the acronym for “draft office chief.”) You are simply leaving me with no choice. I don’t want to rot in a trench for the Ukrainian government. I don’t want to, you understand? You are simply not leaving me a choice. I am not even 17. Why don’t you go fight, yourselves?
Obviously…..
I can’t “confirm” his claimed age (“not yet 17“)…..
…..but the video “seems” genuine…..
…..his voice is quivering, throughout…..
…..the draft summons, is an authentic, Ukrainian draft summons…..
…..(at least, in “template” terms)…..
…..(I can’t confirm he didn’t snatch it from someone else, but that’s HIGHLY unlikely)…..
…..and, he does “seem to” hang himself at the end.
(He also has a very suspicious mass or protrusion along his neck, when he walks away from the camera.)
(I ran a mirror image of his draft summons. Although he’s got a finger over the end of the last name, and the start of the first name, it seems the full name may be Maksim Lisovets, Lisavets, or Lisovetski. FWIW, there is a 16 year old named Maksim Lisovets, who grew up at least partly in Odessa, Ukraine.)
Well, I’m not a pathologist.
You make the call.
What I can say for sure…..
This is not “Russian propaganda.”
100 percent, the video was made in the Ukraine…..
…..and has gotten very little attention in Russia.
Now, how does this fit in to anything?
In the last week…..
There has been some Russian talk…..
…..of Ukrainian 18 year-olds…..
…..and possibly younger…..
…..being sent to the front.
These young, no-college-deferment males…..
…..were SUPPOSED to be doing their “traditional” draft service…..
…..peeling potatoes or whatever, immune from the war.
But, in the last week…..
They’ve been sent to Artemovsk (Bakhmut)…..
…..and the Krasnyi Liman (Liman) sector…..
…..at a minimum.
(In fact, Russia’s PMC Wagner released video of two high school age-looking prisoners in Artemovsk.)
It seems, the young man in this video…..
Whether he really hung himself… or not…..
(For attention? A “lunatic” deferment? “My friends ran in and saved me at the last minute, but I’m still nuts?” I don’t know.)
CLEARLY, got a whiff of that.
And THAT explains the video…..
…..whatever’s really going on, in the video.
Keep in mind…..
It is typical…..
…..for persons in the former USSR…..
…..to graduate high school at **17**.
My understanding, that’s how the system is set up.
They are “a year ahead” of Americans.
The young man in this video…..
If he is (was) really 16 years old…..
Was probably very close to 17…..
…..And, looking at graduation this coming May/June.
(Some months older than most of his classmates, but, nonetheless.)
Of course…..
There are still, “in principle“…..
Quite enough “grown men” in the Ukraine…..
Who have not been drafted…..
But as I’ve said more than once…..
They are some kind of “untouchables”…..
Mostly working for the police, railroads, electric and other utilities, agribusiness for export dollars, the Odessa port, military industries and repair yards… or some cushy government desk job.
Beyond those…..
Due to mass emigration (as I’ve written)…..
…..and casualties from the past year….
There’s very little “surplus” male population…..
…..of military age, remaining.
(Other than, the rich brats with their “health exemptions”… and, 17 and 18 year olds.)
So, in almost all cases…..
These “grown men“, with their lucky jobs…..
…..get passed over…..
Because they work for the state…..
Or, some quasi-state enterprise…..
Or, their employers have some “pull“…..
Or, can pay a bribe on their behalf.
So, now “they” are coming…..
…..for males as young as 17.
And, as I’ve mentioned many times…..
For men, the borders have been locked down for over a year.
There’s no way out.
Well, you know…..
SOMEONE has to die for GLOBOHOMO.
And it ain’t gonna be the kids…..
That Lindsay Graham doesn’t have.
Feeding Americans Shit Since 1851
So, the New York Times now claims…..
…..that unnamed officials think…..
…..the Nord Stream pipelines were blown up…..
…..by some Ukrainian version…..
…..of Cobra…..
…..(that is, Cobra from G.I. Joe.)
Like, some murky group, and that’s all we know…..
…..other than, it’s so murky…..
…..that we can’t blame Zelensky.
And, obviously….
What that means is…..
Can’t blame the U.S. or UK, either!
Folks, this story…..
…..is for SUBHUMANOID ZOMBIES…..
…..who didn’t even learn that the Ukraine…..
…..is a country…..
…..until last year.
Fact is…..
The Ukraine has been The 51st U.S. state…..
…..since 2014.
Since 2014…..
The country has been substantially run…..
…..(or at least, “co-governed”)…..
…..out of the U.S. Embassy, Kiev.
ALL key security and financial appointments had…..
…..(still have)…..
…..to be CLEARED with the U.S. Ambassador.
The autonomous Interior Minister, Avakov…..
…..who had his own army…..
…..of which the Azov was the strongest part…..
…..resigned in 2021, with a mere tap on the shoulder…..
…..from Uncle Sam.
The last president, Poroshenko…..
…..was saved from a prosecution driven by Zelensky…..
…..(and jail)…..
…..only by Uncle Sam’s protective umbrella.
The Ukraine received $14 billion in military aid…..
…..PRIOR to last year.
And, that’s just what’s “on the books.”
(Not counting, inter alia, the CIA black ops of 2014-2015. Probably, add at least another 10 percent.)
The Ukraine also got many $$$ billions in IMF loans…..
…..under Uncle Sam’s direction.
And, the U.S. Embassy took a strong, open stand…..
…..against Zelensky…..
…..in the 2019 election…..
But, couldn’t do anything…..
…..(other than, coopt him)…..
…..after he won with a 70-some percent landslide.
(If not for that, it would have been another “Maidan.”)
Now, do you mean to tell me…..
…..that this COLONY…..
…..took it upon ITSELF…..
…..to change the very fabric…..
…..of European energy and economics…..
…..WITHOUT at least the knowledge…..
…..and TACIT APPROVAL…..
…..of, at least, the CIA?
Yeah, OK.
Folks, the job of the MSM…..
…..is to feed you SHIT…..
…..at the behest of the State.
Whatever the State wants you to think…..
…..(as long as it’s not Trump’s Government)…..
…..they will carry.
The ONLY way this differs from Russia, is…..
…..(to broadly generalize things)…..
…..in the MSM’s ownership structure.
Other than that…..
In both cases…..
It’s the State Press.
I Woke Up Today…..
…..And Republican Voters Are Still Stupid
So, McConnell has joined Schumer…..
…..in condemning Fox News…..
…..for allowing Tucker Carlson…..
…..to play video from the “Terrorist Insurrection“…..
…..which showed the “Shaman” guy…..
…..being led to the Holy Senate Chamber…..
…..by friendly Capitol police.
Once again…..
McConnell is the public face…..
…..who keeps the donors happy…..
…..(in this case, woke or semi-woke corporations, who give to his PAC and to the RNC, and can’t be associated with an “extremist” party)…..
…..while ALL other Senate Republicans…..
…..BENEFIT from that money…..
…..but (some of them) can PRETEND…..
…..they don’t agree with McConnell.
It’s all a set-up.
McConnell…..
Who is DESPISED outside of Kentucky…..
…..and won’t be “with us” for that much longer, anyway…..
…..is the FALL GUY.
It’s a SCAM.
The Republican base…..
…..must enjoy being scammed…..
…..because it’s always getting scammed…..
…..and NEVER learns anything.

And, many readers have told me…..
I’m like nothing else on the Internet.
The “best read” anywhere.
If you agree…..

Thank you!

Please note my Comments Policy…..
Below, at bottom.
If you haven’t read it…..
Read it now.
It applies to everyone…..
…..even, to people who give me money…..
…..or who have commented before…..
…..(and who get too comfortable with that.)
The intent is to make the comments section…..
…..as coherent, interesting, enjoyable, and “fast paced“…..
…..as what I write, myself.
Not the usual WACKY PORRIDGE…..
…..and TOXIC CRAP…..
…..that you find on most other sites. (ZeroHedge comes to mind.)
Thus…..
Although MOST comments get approved…..
A not-small minority, do not.
Among other things…..
“Off-topic” comments…..
.….random philosophical musings (or song lyrics, LOL) that don’t add value…..
…..incoherent blather from guys who skipped their Ritalin…..
…..long-ass “manifestos” that I don’t have time to read…..
…..trolling…..
…..and passive-aggressive needling (get some therapy!!!)…..
…..will get you deleted…..
…..and perhaps, blocked.
Anyway,
It’s all in the Comments Policy.
Thanks for your understanding!

I will repeat this in every post…..

Assuming we make it to 2024, and have an election…..
The wonderful governor of Florida…..
Ron DeSantis…..
If elected President of the USA…..
Won’t do much of shit…..
…..other than get us into a war…..
…..with our supplier of everything.
That is, China.
Because that’s the track we’re on.
Trump tried to take the rivalry in an exclusively economic direction…..
But he was removed.
And now… THE CAKE IS BAKED.
Yes, I’m waiting for another pann-de-mmick…..
But the only strictly “political” issue now that matters…..
…..is how hard the U.S. will fight…..
…..and risk everything…..
…..(including, me and my family)…..
….to hold on to its Hegemony.
And… the “public” has no say in that.
Will NEVER have a say.
I can’t remember the last time the “public” had a say…..
…..on anything that really mattered.
Because we don’t fucking matter.
Anyone who plans to keep voting…..
…..(above the local/state level)…..
…..and legitimize U.S. Federal politics…..
…..and the destruction of their own country…..
…..and perhaps the world…..
…..is a “battered wife“…..
…..or just a FUCKING IDIOT.
(However, even if you’re an idiot, you should still give me money, for all the work I put into this blog. Or, at least, follow me on Twitter, and be sure to “like” everything, even the old stuff.)

THIS IS NOT A “DISCUSSION BOARD.” IT IS NOT A DEBATE PLATFORM TO DISCUSS IRRELEVANT HISTORICAL QUESTIONS, OR TO INJECT YOUR OWN PET SUBJECTS / INTERESTS, PHILOSOPHICAL MUSINGS, OR RANDOM RAMBLINGS THAT DON’T DIRECTLY, SUBSTANTIALLY BEAR ON WHAT I WROTE. Please, no disjointed / overcaffeinated rambling, which implies, among other things, no mentioning eight different topics in one comment, like a schizoid aiming to connect all the dots (if your mind is racing, take your Ritalin and calm the fuck down before you comment on this site); no “pet issues” or inquiries that have no direct bearing on what I wrote; no unclear/unexplained, irrelevant, or barely-relevant weblinks; no trying to write your own mini-blog news update digest in my comments; no batteries of questions like what about Donetsk and what about Kiev and what about the Big Offensive and how does this all end and where does blah blah blah (I will NOT respond to you, I will BLOCK you); no asking me what I think of some commentator whom I’ve never heard of; no Nazis; no Nazis pretending to be Jewish like “I’m a bar mitzvah boy, but I’m so ashamed of my people who are not the real Jews of Jesus’ time“; no “crypto” Jew-hating (when I have to read it three times before I’m sure it’s about Jews, then I permanently block your wise ass); no dogmatic Marxists; no using anti-Ukraine jargon or other “Nadsat” bullshit-speak that you picked up from The Saker, which no one outside of you and your freaky virtual friends can understand (e.g., Ukrops, 404, the vimiratis); no calling for the destruction or dissolution of the USA or its government; no calling for the destruction of Washington, DC; no calling for violence against current or former elected or appointed officials of the U.S. Government; no nonconstructive or hateful ranting about Jews (or Swej, Joos, Jooz, Jooze, Juice, Juize, Jewz, Jewze, J-Dogs, J-Dogz, J-Dawgz, J’s, Chews, Choos, Chooz, Chooze, Zionists, Zio-Nazis, Anglo-American Zionists, Amerizionists, Zionist Occupation Government, ZOG, IsraHell, Bibi SatanYahoo, “those of whom we cannot speak”, “your friends whom we can’t talk about”, “a certain small ethnic group”, the chosen, the tribe, the chosen tribe, the thirteenth tribe, tribe of Judah, the Khazarians, Khazarian mafia, Rothschilds, Khazarian Rothschilds, JewTube, JooTube, JewMerica, JooMerica, etc., etc.); no being nasty to other commenters; no trolling the “sysop”; no passive-aggressive needling of the “sysop” (I don’t acknowledge, I just BLOCK and you’re gone, “one strike” and your ass is out, GO GET SOME THERAPY); no dissing or ragging on the Insane Clown Posse, no Chupacabras, no “country music”, no karens or avocado toast, no complaining that your other comment wasn’t published (because you’d didn’t read this Comments Policy), and no claiming “the korona doesn’t exist because vyruses don’t exist.” Please share your ***CONCISE*** (2 smartphone screens of small font text is NOT concise, I don’t have time to read your dumb fucking manifesto, gawd dayyuuum!!!), relevant, coherent, organized thoughts, and come back for my next post.

Furthermore, if you are a LibJew/DemJew, you are BANNED from commenting on this site UNLESS you acknowledge the extensive presence and influence of Nazis and other fascists in the Ukraine, who don’t give a fuck that they have an allegedly “Jewish president”, because they’re still (in many cases) getting paid by the state, and they’ll “take their country back from the Jews” once they take care of the Russians (can’t slit all throats at once.) If you can’t acknowledge it, then get the fuck out with your “Never Again” bullshit. Also, no scrubs. If you don’t know what a “scrub” is, please consult the TLC video on YouTube. Although scrubs exist in ALL ethnic groups and populations, a very good example of scrubs, is all the poor young black men who get shot dead, and then the moms are like, “He had such aspirations, he was going to be a rapper.” Yeah, they were all going to be famous rappers, all the thousands of them! Sure!

I’m not a conspiracy nut but ….
1. Sy Hersh publishes a story on the Nord Stream attack, implicating the Biden, Blinken, Sulivan and Nuland and the US and Norwegian navies
2. A month later a Russian nazi anti-Putin militia attack a village in Bryansk
3. A few days later the NYT, the Times (of London), etc print some obvious tripe about a “pro Ukraine” group attacking Nord Stream from a tiny hired yacht.
Could they really be so stupid that they improvised this plan as a response to Sy Hersh, or is it just a coincidence? Well they thought the Nord Stream attack was a good idea.
Fake or not that was a strong message. But i don’t see this war ending this year (hope im wrong). I can’t see how Russia can just stop until all or at least 90% is under their control or there will be round two in a handful of years when the west has rearmed. And even if the roof comes down the uni party will still be in control, they have all the money, weapons and media . If the last two years have taught us anything is 90% of people will just do as they are told. Glodohomo is dead but westernhomo will never die.
Previously you asked someone for solutions:
I am always day-dreaming about a candidate who pledges to get seeds and gardens in every community possible. Bring the troops home to work on infrastructure/cheap rail. Take two laws off the books for every one added. Table all federal work on abortion, gun-rights – keep the most contentious political arguments aside until we get our economic/physical health back. Shift all focus to local production for local needs and incentivize the loosening of restrictions so communities can decide for themselves how best to move forward.
But first, the candidate must speak eloquently and reach a very wide spectrum in the electorate (HOW?????) and be able to show without a shadow of doubt how we are all being played at almost every single interaction we have with almost every single aspect of our society. And we are getting hurt in the process in every way. And there is a healthy profit in it. AND it can be stopped – we just have to agree to do so.
After traveling well over 100,000 miles by car/rail/bus throughout this country in the past 23 years and having meaningful conversations with 1000s of people from all walks of life (rich, poor, right, left, drunks, racists, criminals, hippies, workers, male, female, who-knows) I believe the right message-bearer could easily find a large enough consensus to at least get something started. Who knows?
Thanks, but this is way off topic. I did not post about this. I only asked “what’s your solution”, of a seemingly autistic, semi-regular commenter, who has complained more than a couple of times that I don’t offer “solutions” because I don’t write about survivalism. I said no, that’s no solution, what’s your solution. Well, you know how autists can get fanatical about one narrow thing.
Fact is, real solutions are not possible until the roof has come down. The problem is not about people getting screwed, it’s that government has promised too much and does too much (at home and abroad), with too many mooch citizens AND too many rentier sectors feeding at the trough, and that’s only getting worse all the time, and it’s not sustainable. And it also makes for potentially catastrophic foreign policy.
The reason the third generation of bureaucrats is the last is because there has never been a fourth generation.
What
1, Males leaving UA – about that I have three rumors
– males can bribe their way out, about 5 to 13 THOUSAND Euros, the longer the SMO went on (and the bigger your can was) the more. Thats pretty confirmed.
– dual citizen ethnic Hungarian males are regularly caught exiting UA, children and females aren’t allowed BACK (effectively stripped of UA citizenship). That is also pretty confirmed.
– Hungarian authorities did send back males coming fleeing “in the green” – this however only came from few, and anonymous sources.
2, UA being the 51st state – this begs the question, where the money (and the will ) really came for this:
https://responsiblestatecraft.org/2022/02/11/ukrainian-lobbyists-mounted-unprecedented-campaign-on-us-lawmakers-in-2021/
Every pundit, talking head, blogger, opinionator, whatever – has his or her own style.
If you do not like someone’s style, don’t watch them. It is that easy.
Now, our esteemed author, blogger, pundit here has a style where he puts everything in big black letters in big yellow boxes.
Fine with me.
But then, so is Alexander Mercouri’s style of fidgeting.
It is the information that is important and whether I believe the person to be not full of baloney.
Mercouris conveys almost no original information at all. He does do very well at roasting UK and Euro politicians. But he presents almost no new facts or serious (original and grounded, not speculative) insight or analysis. For the most part, each daily show is merely a review of daily headlines, coupled with some very “fancy” but, in truth, amateurish speculation about where that news might ultimately lead. It’s amazingly vapid, empty, dull.
Yes, his cast is vapid vapidity. Queensryche should do a song with that title. Seems like they have an old one with a similar title. Shouldn’t be hard for them. I think the lead singer has a Master’s Degree. Or was it a law degree?
Anyway, in addition to the vapidity, I have a difficult time with Mercouris’ voice and style of speech. So, I don’t watch him. And it is truly that easy, per ‘a lurkingreader’. (Unimpressive handle, btw. Not to mention untrue, because real lurkers don’t comment).
Mercouris is a lawyer by trade so he has the knack of cutting a short story long.
Can’t like or retweet or follow you on Twitter because after being suspended 9 times [once in the Musk era] I’m done with Twitter.
The video kid, as far as I can see, had two ways of saving his life:
One, hide with relatives in the boondocks, assuming he has any, and hope the regime collapses before he’s found and dragged into the trenches.
Two, get conscripted and desert to the Russian
side at the first opportunity, hoping no nazi shoots him in the back, and the Russians don’t kill him before he can surrender.
Neither has a particularly attractive chance of success and he probably knows/knew it.
He’s wearing a hooded sweatshirt, that can easily hide a roofing harness. Looks like his was modified to connect behind the neck. Plus he played dead really fast in my humble gay opinion🤝
That suicide video is fake and gay🤝
It may be fake. But the only thing gay here, is obviously you.
That’s the spirit 🤝
If it was fake there had to have been people waiting to take him down immediatelyafter the end of the video, because otherwise he’s a goner. He can’t reach the floor to release the noose from his neck.
Lol….Just one of the enjoyable aspects to your blog is scrolling through the comments and reading your smack downs of……..uhhhh……various folks.
I don’t know if you have any anatomical knowledge, but you can get unconscious in seconds with pressure on your carotid arteries, even without being hanged.
It doesn’t mean he died in 5 seconds.
There happened many Suizides of youngsters – especially of the minorities in Ukr. So many you can‘t fake, especially if the reports came from Romania and Hungary.
I don’t buy this kid’s suiside. Once he stepped off the box and was hanging, it was like less than five seconds for him to drop his hands like he had no life in him anymore. I call BULLSHIT on the video.
I wouldn’t buy a “suiside” either. Now a ‘suicide’…..that I can buy.
Being close in age to Methuselah, I too am baffled by the simple task of triggering a like.
You have two options. Use the clay tables of your youth, carve “like” on it and use one of your old pigeons to send them to Dreizin, or, click the “like” below a post, and make a WordPress account. To like a post, you have to like it in WordPress.
I’m not as old as you are, but my brain is the equivalent of 5Hz microprocessor, so it took me weeks to figure this out.
The election in 2024 likely will be rigged, no matter who the Republicans run because my belief is that a huge segment of the establishment want more investment in “green” energy, and want the entire world converted to it. Biden is their guy. (It would be nice if Jacob would write some stuff about the politics of the so-called “energy transition.”)
Despite this, I think it might still be important to vote for Trump, simply as a protest and a way to screw over the people currently running things. Why show the world that we support what’s currently going on??
after blacking out, someone could turn off the camera, lift him out of the noose and he would revive. it would take several minutes for brain damage to occur.
I’ve been put out by a carotid restraint and put people out in training and in conflict. it takes about 5 seconds. there is no pain just some sense of pressure in your facial/head area. You just go to sleep. a.k.a. “the sleeper hold”. Obviously, you can’t say for sure but based on my experiences that looked real. it was just a few seconds and out. Sad. As for eastern Europeans being ahead of Americans in schooling. Every summer, we would have college kids from several different eastern European countries, come to our department to get their work permits approved to work in the city as traveling magazine salesmen. For a time I had the job of doing the background checks on these folks doing short interviews. I was stunned how intelligent these kids were. my town was a college town and by and large they were the biggest bunch of pot smoking dipshits you could imagine. (I was in the middle of the emerald triangle).
If you are interested, Monkeywerx, over on YT does flight analysis every day. He has the video of the P8 flying in, refueling, circling around the detonation site, and then hightailing it out of there, just a few hours before the Nordstream blast. The call letters of the P8 are actually US (not Norwegian), I assume that this can be manipulated. “Pro Ukrainian groups’ don’t have P8’s, navy divers, etc. However the NYT article seems to plant the seed for throwing Ukraine under the bus….we’ll see.
Monkey Werx also makes the point of showing how the plane’s altitude does a “bump” over the site of the explosion. Almost as if it just released, I don’t know, 2000 lbs. of high explosive?
I did not watch the video and thanks for the warning.
You still see articles saying that Zelensky has to be persuaded to negotiate and even claims that Macron and Scholz are seeking to do that! Of course, such views are total garbage. Zelensky does what Uncle Sam tells him to do. Very little true agency. He values his own life and wants to get to enjoy his overseas palaces one day.
My read of the NYT fairy tale is that Scholz likely complained to Biden when he met him that the Seymour Hersh story is starting to cut through in Germany. That’s giving him issues from local politicians who are not on the imperial payroll. So the administration has engineered an alternative narrative. Which 95% of the west’s propagandised populations will no doubt believe.
That’s how I see it, too.
At first the US Administration hoped they could respond to Hersh’s report by blanket denials with no counternarrative and by slandering Hersh.
For whatever reason, they now seem to believe they need that counternarrative, and this cockamamie one was the best they could come up with on the fly.
You are right in assuming that most of the population including a lot of your readers are misinformed idiots, but it amazes me how you get away with calling them idiots and still asking them for donations?
Clearly, you have a reading comprehension problem. I insult segments who don’t (and obviously won’t) give me any money.
I had seen the video already, but have some (unfounded) lingering hesitation about actual death and verification. The troposphere is so dense with propaganda, you can’t assume anything.
But what’s your beef with Republicans?
Some people just like getting it good and hard up the … (to quote George Carlin quoting HL Mencken)
Thanks. What a sad story. In the European media, nothing is said about Ukrainian HR departments zeal to recruit boys and use them as meat puppets in Bakhmut. They report about the deplorable state of the Russian army, fighting with shovels and such.
Seems the me that multiple narratives —Nordstream, excess mortadellalitty, leaking labs— are collapsing simultaneously. Will make for “interesting” times. I wonder what the response of our “leaders” will be. Somehow, I don’t expect campfires and Kumbaya singalongs…
I agree and this blog is correct. The MSM is the State Press. That is why. It’s a feature not a bug. Anything that is not in line with the approved narrative will not get published.
The “Russians fighting with shovels” (allegedly from an 1869 design to add to the “credibility”) comment came from the British MoD based on some Ukrainian “source”. It is also total garbage, of course. But, even if so, the Russians are still winning. The British MoD also never reflects on the fact that it lost a war in Afghanistan against goat herders who were sometimes still armed with 1890s vintage Lee Enfields.
Fighting with shovels ties in with the other worn out tropes, human wave attacks, brutal slavic hoards
of Orks (Times Radio commenters) etc, no socks, no shells, no food, semi racist propaganda that pops up with every war like a reflex action.
In the europian press were small notices – most likely from Hungary and Romania – that there were drag into Ukr Army also people from Hungarian and Romanian minorities. Both countries apparently complained but there was no any report if anything changed. Apparently they took also 16+ kids. Didn‘t find any farther report. However there are many many young males 19+ refugees in Europe who are often verbal very suportive for Ukraine. They organize also „Bandera“ night clubs with pro Bandera music. One in CZeck in Pilsen in Lidice str., Although Lidice was a village the German Nazis put in rubbles snd all inhabitants killed. What a irony!
On a thursday early evening some weeks ago, it was dark already, I heard a very very loud cheering crowd (obviously beating every actual german soccer fan mob) shouting some hymn or what at Stachus near city center of Munich, Bavaria. First I tought that could be some professional soccer-fan mob, e. g. Partizan Belgrade fans or sth like that judging by its impressive volume, for German ears, but then saw the big ukrainian flag they carried with them (also small bengalo-like flashfire could be noticed). Was not thaat big a crowd, filling the stairs down to underground Stachus place. Thin police cordon around, obviously they came from a demonstration at Marienplatz city center. But I wonder how it could be that a whole bunch of young strong, at least super voice strong UA men strolling around Munich now (Or was it kinda ‘cadre’ placed tacitly at a say on a certain huge U.S. training area in Bavaria. For a reason. I reasoned. You know what – media won’t tell ya !)
Not all the guys (and girls) avoiding conscription are just skiving. Kiev is probably protecting its own supporters for later use. The Communists did something like this in the Spanish Civil War, while they had no problems with the bourgeois International Brigade taking huge casualties.
The suicide video is relevant regardless of whether it is genuine or not. If its genuine then God help the citizens of Ukraine trapped in the made in USA hell hole. If it isn’t then someone is organizing resistance to what is going on. Good.
Correct on all counts.
As to your first point specifically… What Kiev is protecting 100% are the flagship university (NOT trade school or two-year college or industrial college) boys, who are the children of the Ukraine’s administrative elite and upper middle class, i.e. the bedrock of support for the 2014 “New Order” regime, irrespective of specific party loyalty. Sure, Kiev still doesn’t let those males out of the country… but so far, there’s been no reason for them to try to flee.
Yes! I was thinking in the strategy of the Communists in the Spanish civil war too. They knew they were a minority and were given orders by Stalin to support whatever the moderate republicans did in order to obtain military aid from Western imperialist countries that had initially joined the non-intervention pact. It caused some discontent within their ranks at the beginning, and one could even see paintings in the streets of Madrid saying: „Vote Communist and put an end to marxism!“ This is what some Natsiz may be thinking now when watching all the purported support for Globohomo.
By the end of the war, Spanish communist affiliation had exploded in numbers, their leaders had been able to place a Soviet-supporting prime minister and were in position to take power. The bad news for them: Franco had already destroyed what was left of the republican popular army. (BTW, anarchists and trotskists, who were very critical of the communists but otherwise in favor of a unified military command, fiercely opposed the creation of a non-voluntary „popular“ army on the basis that „you cannot fight for freedom with an army of slaves“)
Very interesting. I’ll let this one stand, for its sheer historicity-ness and jam-packed information-osity. Now back to the narrow topic, please.
I read a few of your articles. You write in an interesting manner. We can all sit and talk about these stuff day and night, but it will not change a thing. The only thing that will fix this world is for America’s economy to implode. One main reason for this is most of the world looks up to America because they say/think America must being doing things right otherwise they wouldn’t be doing so well.
Yes, sure, but “alt thinkers” need to stay sane in the meantime. If you’re telling everyone to just shut up and tune out 100% until the roof comes down, sorry, that’s an obvious loser. Minds will keep spinning. It’s like telling a 3 year-old to sit in a corner and not move for an hour. Not gonna happen. At least, I am concise in what I do. You can typically read my occasional posts in 20 minutes or less… while guys such as Mercouris take an hour a day, to say almost nothing. So, lighten up, dude. Enjoy the ride. Perhaps you can even learn something, on the way there.
Mr Dreizin
Alexander takes an hour to say almost nothing? When did Mr. Mercouris improve his game? I thought it was weeks but then the man puts me to sleep every time I try to sit through an hour plus of his daily…….whatever. How a man can say so little in incredibly lengthy periods of time is beyond belief and it must take a great deal of effort as he also fidgets while blatthering to the point where one must suspect there is a new pandemic of pin worms in the UK.
What the world needs is a Cliffs Notes version of Alexander Mercouris but even that would probably be the size of a hand written War and Peace tome..
We need to change the media before anything else that’s where everything is predicated by the Press..if they can’t lie they can’t get a war, they can’t steal. 🤝
Like the security feature when buying cups of coffee. Just out of curiosity what’s their cut?
5%
That’s an ok deal, compared to some other services. Credit card transactions are usually 1-2% so there’s not enough competition yet.
Hell of a lot better than youtube superchats. They take 30%
lol… So what’s the back story to the whole Mercouris thing?
Troubled lawyer. His Greek Cypriot buddy Alex Christophorous is shrewd and not so long winded. His imitations of Nuland are hilarious. Compared to the European legacy media sewer they are both shining lights of honesty and integrity.
I have a different take on the NYT article. They ARE telling the truth. This pro-Ukrainian group is none other than Nuland, Biden, Blinken, Austin, and Sullivan.
Watching the online discourse around this is something else. When this happened in September it was definitely a bad thing because the Russians did it. But now that the NYT says the ‘Ukrainians’ did it those same people (Europeans, mostly) are JUSTIFYING IT. Remaining blissfully unaware that their female relatives will have to cam it up and whore themselves out just to pay the rent.
I refuse to believe these are real people. Surely they’re just NGO employees who are paid to say this. Right?
I have to agree. This takes the narrative from making the sabotage from something that you have to be upset about, to something you must celebrate. The EU leaders have to say that blowing it up was a good thing, because “Ukraine good, Russia bad”. So because Ukraine can do no wrong, this has to be a good thing.
Thank you. I tried “liking” but for some reason it refuses to recognize every version of me.
It’s so horribly tragic that so many people are getting dragged in, losing everything, living in rubble, and now this poor teenager, who couldn’t take anymore. And horrifying to think that there was nearly a settlement close to a year ago, until Boris went and had a little chat with Zelensky. Everyone involved in that decision has a lot of blood on their hands.
Despite all this, the darkness will not prevail.
That poor child. May God smite the demons who have caused all this suffering, and I don’t mean only Putin!
Oh Dear God, that poor child. The Lord God is going to give a good spanking to our alleged “leaders” the corrupt NWO, the corrupt military industrial complex, and every other lying dog that causes innocent people death and destruction! Russia and China will be the means that God uses to chastise the West.
Damn Dreizin, IMO you are the best I’ve seen at what you do: Saying what you think without the slightest concern of hurting the feelings of intellectual and emotional midgets and hypocritical sociopaths .
To borrow from FJB, you have a “spine of steel”, something sorely lacking in both the elite and the sheep.
BTW, your content is great also. I rarely find myself disagreeing with you and so far my disagreement has been trivial.
