I would like to thank my attorney, Giorgi Moneybags XIV, for his superb legal representation during these trying times. Although I am now deeply in debt, I would recommend his services to anyone in Tbilisi with maritime-related issues.

May Giorgi Moneybags XIV live a long and profitable life, so that Giorgi Moneybags XV has moneybags as full as his name implies!

This is priceless :) thanks for the laugh :)

My favourite part is "critical thinking, while strongly discouraged, is still technically legal."

Happy birthday!

Why do some readers know your birthday and I sit in the dark? С днём рождения

Well this actually ties everything together perfectly....Ive pointed out a few times on Rileys blog here that he is a total pro NATO shill and anti vaccine authoritarian who wants Russians to die of the flu or old age instead of blood clots. But I didn't notice the Prigozhin/Slavsquat connection until Tim pointed it out....Wagner was created specifically to flush out Rolo and Riley and show people on English speaking internet pages that Rolo and Riley are bad...

Well well well I bet all you Riley and Rolo subscribers feel real stupid now. The whole march on Moscow was all about outing Rolo and Slavsquat as being on the NAFO payroll just like Prigozhin.... Putin allows Prigozhin and Utkin to make Wagner even though he knows they are working for the CIA and than allows them to revolt in order to flush out Rolo and Riley. Checkmate 5D denialist.

Happy Birthday, Riley. Many happy returns. I pray that God preserve your son and Russia and all her neighbors. Your observations are a needed combination of light-hearted, humane and yet steely-eyed commentary. If we really love Russia and pray for her continued existence, we shouldn't be afraid to tell the truth about her, even to her face. But these are very strange times, such as I certainly never expected to see in my life. We live in a climate hostile to rationality or nuance. This is the more frightening because it is now a global phenomenon. We must ALL push back HARD against those who would have us "pick a team." We must be something like... "nuance warriors" and insist ... ferociously... that none of this is black or white. Anyone who believes he or she knows what is actually happening... the real reality... is deluded or lying.

Thank you, Theresa!

AMEN You only know what 'they' allow you to see. You have to dig and look deeper and more you 'see' the more you 'know' And what you thought you 'knew" you don't!

This is HILARIOUS 😂😂😂

I would send you some Rubels, but thanks to our government that happens to be part of the Western value based community it is not possible. I hope you accept some Brussels Pesos instead.

And also Happy Birthday!

Edward Slavsquat's avatar

I'll take the pesos! And thanks for the birthday wishes, Bee!

Russia is serious about banning those who disagree with the leadership.

Why? Because they respect freedom. Freedom isn't free and it requires a lot of sacrifice.

Why do you think they went along with the sputnik clot shots? Freedom!

Why do you think they're implementing CBDC type currencies? Freedom!

😂

But seriously, are these guys just plain morons? They remind me of the flip side of a few Russians I met during high school. Most of them disliked the USSR and called it corrupt, but when it came to the USA, we have the greatest freedom etc. Fucking stupid ass team sports childish mentality.

What do they have against rats, anyway.

Rats are cute. And if you disagree, we'll gnaw on your baseboard.

Hahahahaha thank you

I find your insights with regards to Russia immensely valuable.

As you point out, lots of so called western news agencies (main stream and alternative media) have no idea what is going on and convey more their own opinion that any genuine observations.

They also get very offended and aggressive if you don't agree with them.

The two parties you are replying to are a very good example.

Knowing the law firm of Moneybags and Associates, you can be assured that the attorneys will undoubtedly protract this case for as long as possible. And be aware they also have a thriving LLC, where large sums of dubious cash are placed into profitable real estate ventures guranteeing their financial stability, hence potential to indefinitely pursue this litigation. 😁

That being said, many "pony fanatics" have channels on Telegram and YouTube eager to pass their enthusiasm about this species onto those wishing to purchase a new noble stallion. However, on closer inspection the energetic bronco is actually a mythical fanciful unicorn.🙊

Be that as it may, a "nuanced" perspective about "all" things is usually a more realistic approach as it allows the buyer to make their "own" assessment based on all accessible info and not just relying on the overly fervent perspective of a zealot working on a commission only basis.🤑

With this in mind, prior to the scamdemic the supposedly Independent "horse farms" did give some fertile insights into the numerous Western barbaric military conflicts. However, once the plandemic emerged they remained silent or became sudden believers in the uprightness of the national security state and predatory big pharma.

Not until it became acceptable to question the lockdowns, mandates, and all the insane protocols did they dare say a word. What's up with that?

And if you dared mention the insanity of China's unendng testing or lockdowns your comments were either shaddowbaned, eliminated or excoriated. Some of these horse salesman were even pitching the Sinovac or the Sputnik special.🙀

And none of the brave revolutionaies ever analyzed how specific UN initiatives are actually little more than IMF programs especially in regards to sustainability and biosecurity.

Why is that?

In any event, there's a lot to be suspicious about, especially on YouTube where virologists were banned for saying the vaxx was "not' safe nor effective and masks don't work.

However, Western propagandists in China were never banned but allowed to sing the praises of a technocratic biosecurity surveillance state, while those Western commentators residing in Russia never said a thing about how the Kremlin was emulating China and is all-in on the repressive WHO/UN initiatives, hmm.

🤨 They do shoot horses, don't they?

Great piece, apparently some Ox’s have been gored. And respect to Tbilisi flea markets, I had no idea

LOL That was a great article.

Joyeux anniversaire Riley!

In these present time, critical thinking is a very heavy burden for those who are willing to carry it, so your readers weight, at least, ten times more than non critical readers on telegram. 3200x 10= 32000, at least.

Very good Georgian reggae for your eternal birthday my friend!:

I expect action, now that the estimable Moneybags has had his palm crossed with silver (or a silver-related substance type thing). Let the defendants beware! Maritime Law is the ultimate, unstoppable kung fu.

bro...this article made me belly laugh...the world needs another George Carlin...you should look into doing stand up comedy...carry on sir

Edward Slavsquat's avatar

very kind of your, Mr. Rich. Thanks for reading, as always.

Mig's avatar

Agree on your comment completely! Hell this was funny!

Beautiful. It reminds me of the Obama Administration's last gasp attempt to provoke Russia. I don't even remember what it was over, but it was relatively offensive. Putin's response was, as gracious as always, to smile and to invite everyone over to the Embassy to celebrate Christmas.

I suppose it is kind of your point that you have a more Russian sense of nuance, grace, humor, and morosity than they can even recognize.

Happy Birthday! And here you go, the Happy Birthday Fugue. https://www.classicfm.com/composers/bach/happy-birthday-fugue/

Thanks Jeff, and thank you for the lovely fugue :)

Hey, for all you do for us, it seemed like the least I could do for you.
