Hello friends.
Welcome to Edward Slavsquat’s weekly open thread, “At least we have each other.”
According to the Magna Carta, internet etiquette does not apply to open threads. So please spam links. Or make completely off-topic observations. Or just say hello.
A quick heads-up: My conversation with Nick Jeelvy has been sprung from its paywall and can now be enjoyed by all. The podcast is from a month ago, so we talked about Kazakhstan (remember Kazakhstan?) and stuff like that. I had a great time chatting with Nick and hope to do it again soon.

And now some news articles.
Libyan guy finds amazing treasure
Via Libya Observer:
[Authorities] in Al-Marg city said that a local citizen found 323 bars of hashish, stamped with a picture of Russian President Vladimir Putin on the seaside on Saturday.
It was quite a haul:





Gintsburg is a creep, don’t let him inject your children
Nakanune.ru has an excellent interview with Nina Ostanina, who chairs the State Duma Committee on Family, Women and Children:
“The attitude of ordinary Russians to vaccinations is increasingly influenced by their everyday life. It seems to me that most people don’t want to get vaccinated, because they see from their friends and acquaintances that vaccinations do not save you from anything. They succumb to the advertisements of media people… Yielding to this advertising and propaganda, people often become victims of vaccination. Young 30-year-old guys, in order to continue working, get vaccinated, and then their legs fail, their hearts.”
Zhirinovsky: injected 8 times, and now hospitalized with COVID for 8 days
Vladimir Zhirinovsky—who famously injected himself with eight clot-shots—has been hospitalized. Katyusha.org has a good writeup highlighting how this is a major headache for Russia’s vax-peddlers.
Communist Party leader Gennady Zyuganov has also been hospitalized with COVID. What’s going on here?
… and what’s going on with the WAR?
Everyone is talking about the WAR. So we will dump some Ukraine/End Times links below:
Putin offers political asylum to Poroshenko: An actual 5D chess move?
Russians banned from entering Ukraine? (Ukraine denies it?)
Russia should shun UK’s toxic foreign secretary Liz Truss
“If you won’t talk to Lavrov, you will talk to Shoigu”
The world is waiting for war, stocking up on beans and counting Russian battalions
Russian military spots US Navy submarine near Urup Island
Russian diplomats are leaving Ukraine (now confirmed)
Reports: Ukrainian airspace will be closed to commercial flights (Ukraine denies it?)
Your humble Moscow correspondent continues to stand by his original assessment of this situation: Scam alert: WAR!
Have a relaxing Sunday.

“ Zhirinovsky: injected 8 times, and now hospitalized with COVID for 8 days”. He has destroyed his innate immune system and now with developed vaccine induced AIDS. https://dailyexpose.uk/2022/02/13/the-covid-19-vaccines-cause-aids/
"Why did Russia's largest bank empty its gold"
Strange that Russia acts like a defeated power, when geopolitical analysts find it certain that it is ready to win any war against any competitor. That brings us to a crucial issue. As Jim Jatras says at 45th minute here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6FlgZABHBdM, how does this global control work is a key question. You would need to have at least a moderately good idea of how this monster works, in order to oppose it with any effectiveness.
And strangely, all the 'alternative' media appear to be silent on this topic.
Anyone who would carry a discussion about it would deserve our gratitude.
