"Retired Army Gen. David Petraeus said the plane crash that killed Russian mercenary leader Yevgeny Prigozhin this week was likely an assassination by Russian President Vladimir Putin and proved Russia is a “mafia state.”

Hmm, mafia state, I guess it takes one to know one.🤔https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4171386-petraeus-prigozhin-killing-shows-russia-mafia-state/

Am guessing that the Ukies didn't do it as there has been no commemorative stamp issued.

Tricky part with fake death theory is that Prigozhin is/was both a true extrovert and true adrenaline type, as documented by his behavior. Such person would be very difficult to contain longterm. The idea that he buys a private island, starts painting and scares his grandchildren with a new face after plastic surgery is difficult to imagine. Likely he would be back in Russia in 3years time (despite promises given) giving everyone a headache, much easier to save time and dispose of him now.

We should prepare for pseudo-Eugens, like in the last Time of Troubles.

Indeed Prig isn't six feet under but was six feet above...

Who knows--supposedly the Kremlin is doing a forensic analysis to determine who's actually dead. When the CIA assassinated Che Guevara they wanted the killers to bring back Che's hand. A little less gory than Herodias demanding a head on a platter.

This was Che's death at the hands of the Bolivian army? I think all his crew, 15 or so, got executed. Not quite what I'd call an assassination, but perhaps I'm splitting hairs!

Splitting hairs or hands? 😁

«Laughing Hysterically Through Tears...» is a real conversation between human siblings and it goes straight to the heart of our present collective heart wrenching disasters. I highly recommend viewing this to everybody, especially those who can't make up their mind about the real reasons behind this s terribly mess we are in.

First I "liked" your comment and then I listened to the conversation and felt so close to both Lena and Riley and all of you and all the people I met and try to make them laugh out loud or at least smile in my job at the highway restaurant. Whatever you call the Divine, the Absolute, the Source... may it bless you all.

One love

Thanks, Riley.

"Russia's Lukoil seeks permission to buy back shares from foreign investors - Ifax cites sources."

"MOSCOW, Aug 22 (Reuters) - Russian oil major Lukoil is asking Russian authorities for permission to buy back up to 25% of its shares from non-resident investors at a discount of at least 50%, the Interfax news agency reported on Tuesday, citing sources.

Lukoil, whose shares rose by around 4% on the news, intends to pay for the buyback using the group's foreign accounts and would therefore not need to enter Russia's domestic FX market, the sources said."

Sorry cannot comment. All the blah, has turned me into a slimy blob, without the capacity to make any meaningful contribution. Not to worry. Perhaps some evolutionary chemical reaction, will restore me at warp speed, and I will be able to dazzle you all with my enlightened input. Smile.

I believe Iurie Rosca made a language error with this title, "BRICS Summit - the last nail in multipolarity’s coffin " Because the story he provides shows multi-polarity is being implemented, IT is Goldman Sachs' plan. it openly pushed the idea in a paper it put out a few years ago. Unless he means the coffin which multi-polarity is building for us, the 99.9%

My two cents. I thought he made a good argument for the title.

I do challenge his statement “And the world's number one gold controller is still the Rothschild clan.“ What reliable data/information does he have to back this statement? There is a lot of noise about the demise, in varying degrees, of the said family’s financial resources. I don’t doubt their substantial power, wealth and influence, but I do have doubts concerning the accuracy of and ability to know the amount of gold they hold or control.

Regardless, it seems many anti-establishment/-globalist people embrace what is not necessarily what something seems.

There's a Rothschild obsession in the ranks. As for the title, The Council on Foreign Relations has recently pushed for a multi-polar world order, promoting the displacement of the G7 by the G20.

What Does the G7 Do? The Group of Seven (G7) serves as a forum to coordinate global policy, but experts are increasingly questioning the group’s relevance. CFR.org editors, 6/28/23.

Sorry for the typing mistakes. I would like to add that our present on-going collective tragedy is due to the essential nature of the collective in dealing with the issues of life: ineptitude immediately comes to mind. We are not cattle and should not behave as such. Mass surrendering our individuality and handing it over to a bunch of sold-out agitators of all kinds has only led us to being corralled toward the abyss.

Russian Reindeers 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Thank you 🙏. I truly needed that laugh.

apparently the Russians fined Norway for letting "their" deer graze on the wrong side of border, brilliant (was spoof or humour)

Expand full comment

"Norway is rebuilding a fence along its border with Russia in the Arctic to stop reindeer from wandering into the neighboring country. [Kapital Rus]" Can Norway do this without violating EU enviromental rules against obstructing wildlife habitat? I thought the proper response would be to let the deer migrate freely, and then bomb them with kamikaze drones. Or maybe just sanction the deer that got forage from within Russia.

Coucou to all of you! Hope you are fine.

Here we have lost 20° C in less than 48 hours, so much for the global warming, LoL.

Slugs are pest, now that finally tomatoes are finally starting to ripen, They eat them!

If Elena read that Sunday meeting around the hookah, I wish you a good convalescence.

Vivant! Alive!
