"It’s a very strange time to be in Russia. Remarkably, the same officials and public figures who pushed for lockdowns and clot-shots are now wrapping themselves in the flag as they vow to sniff out the dreaded 'fifth columnists.'"

This is the exact same play being used in the west, including the United States. The subtle difference between the U.S. and Russia is that the "patriots" here are wrapping themselves in the U.S. and Ukrainian flags while sniffing out dreaded fifth columnists.

Indeed. Funny how it works so well for both "sides."

The approach from the leftist media in the U.S. was predictable. The shift began the moment Biden and Blinken started to warn of an imminent Russian invasion as the body count began to drop and sympathy for Canadian truckers was at its peak. I am still amazed at the speed by which people replaced their "I Just Got My Booster" Facebook and Linkedin frames with a Ukrainian flag theme.

The most shameless behavior has come from neocons and serial bloviators like Sean Hannity who have picked up where they left off in 2002 beating the drums for war in Iraq. It's as though Iraq and Afghanistan never happened.

Hannity quietly shifted from referring to Ukraine's capital as "Kiev" to "Kyiv" as did the MSM and the neocons. I'm waiting for Hannity to open each show with an acapella rendition of "Ukraine has not yet perished". As Matt Taibbi pointed out with reference to John Podhoretz, it's an opportunity for these failures to reassert themselves.

They were all in on lockdowns and vaccines. Now they're all in on war.

It's funny indeed how that works so well for both sides. Tragic for the rest of us, mere collateral damage.

"They were all in on lockdowns and vaccines. Now they're all in on war."

It's either that, or just go back to their drab, purposeless, onerous existences.

It is no surprise that the choice is so easy as to be automatic.

The invention of the airplane meant that pilots could look down on the enemy soldiers praying to the same gods.

Albeit I'd think most soldiers are atheists. Love thy neighbour and all that.

Thanks for the intel Riley.

Here in Canada, while our state sponsored propagandists tell everyone how evil Russia is and pumps up fear about impending nuclear war people in our senate and parliament are working diligently (and stealthily) pushing through bills and attempting to pass laws related to digital identification and censoring the internet. Our PM is relentless in trying to get people all excited about waging endless war, ensuring profits keep rolling in for Raytheon and Lockeed Martin by using our tax money to pay for lethal weapons to send abroad.

He also keeps saying how he wants to "help create a global Artificial Intelligence Ecosystem" that interfaces with biometric id systems (to keep everyone safe of course).

PM Justin Trudeau speaks at inaugural global summit on artificial intelligence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=haqMrNhnnbw

This of course coincides with our government pouring billions of our tax dollars into more injectable bioweapons and/or transhumanist/genetic slurry cocktails.

My guess is some kind of "debt forgiveness" initiative tied into a 'universal income package' (with small print basically saying if you accept this you will Own Nothing and Be Happy") will be next.

So, regardless of where we live, we are seeing these "leaders" are all really just different faces of the same machine. https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-369-globalization-is-dead-long-live-the-new-world-order/ Different temporary faces of the world eating parasitic machine that has gone by many names over the decades but its goals have remained the same. As I have alluded to in other comments, this 'machine' does indeed sow the seeds for it's own destruction, but that does not mean it is not capable of taking a great many people with it as it digs its own grave.

Thus, I feel that going back to basics and getting off grid is more imperative now than ever before, as it can empower individuals to hopefully be able to move out of the way of the gnashing teeth and flailing appendages of this world eating machine (that wears many faces) as it devours everything in it's path (until the day it is so bloated and top-heavy it collapses under it's own weight).

May those that wish to survive, thrive and create a new civilization (after the fall of the world eating machine and it's minions) find the courage to step outside their comfort zone, learn to provide for themselves and their loved ones and find courage in the knowing the cold winter winds carry the seeds for the bounty of next summer's abundance.

Wishing you all the best.

Canada right now is a basket case and cautionary tale to people of the West. BE ENGAGED and stop voting for authoritarians. This country is a bad place.

Expand full comment

Agreed about the basket case that is the Canadian government.. but wait a second you think the voting system in Canada is intact and honest?

We do not live in a democracy anymore, Canada is but one subservient faction of a corporatocracy run by psychopathic banksters and transhumanist/eugenicist billionaires. Thus, I vote with my day to day actions, how i spend my dollars (or rather more importantly, how i do not) and I vote with my choices which withdraw my support from the duplicitous and nefarious individuals, institutions and entities that oppress, manipulate and murder innocents.. instead choosing to share my energy, time and support with people that have courage, honesty, compassion and humility.

This land is a beautiful place and many of the people (of many different cultures) that live here are beautiful too, but I agree the country of Canada (the government) is corrupt to the core.

In the past few years I have been sad to discover that government funded operations were created here with the express intent of assaulting, lying, stealing land, kidnapping, torturing, psychologically abusing, assimilating and/or the mass murder of children. Contrary to popular belief, the residential schools were not some kind of isolated incident. Indigenous women had been forcibly sterilized in Saskatchewan up until the 2000-s. Another example (less extreme though also appalling) is when the government of Canada seized the property of thousands of Japanese Canadian Citizens, forced them into camps to be used as slave labor, sold their possessions and then either forced them to leave Canada or move east.

Here in Ontario I live in a town where David Suzuki and his family were forced to move to from their home out west in BC (where they had been detained and held in concentration type government camps simply because of the fact that they are Japanese).

Right now the colonial imperialistic conquest (that began with a greed an arrogance driven pillaging of the First Nation people's and their lands) continues in northwestern British Columbia where Canadian authorities (militarized RCMP assets) invaded Wet’suwet’en indigenous lands for the construction of a gas pipeline, violating both Canadian and international law.

As if the colonialism (past and present) and pillaging of the land (and the people who called this place home before the Europeans came) was not enough, over the past 3 decades the Canadian government has worked closely with corporations that are attempting to colonize the very genetic fabric of our food sources with the creation and proliferation of GMO crops (transgenic organisms created via rDNA gene splicing tech). These nutritionally deficient highly toxic food crops have resulted in the devastation of our soils, waters, diverse ecosystems and the degradation of human health.

With all that being said, it is also true that some people in this country have done some truly beautiful things with their time on Earth to foster equality, creativity, courage, hope, kindness and scientific exploration.. but the government of Canada (as a whole), has engaged in disgusting and horrendous behavior over the years.

And our court system has proven to be nothing but a hollowed out entity inhabited with people who just happen to wear black robes playing the part of judges. It has no legitimacy anymore in my eyes. It consistently rejects its duty to uphold the Charter and BOR on the specious premise it's not the job of the courts to 'challenge the legislature'. The justice system in Canada is a complete and total fraud. I have no trust the legal or medical systems anymore. It's been a dramatic and traumatic revelation to realize Canada is one big land of smug, obedient, gullible and naive cowards. No country loves masks more than Canada. It's truly unnerving.

Yes, what we've done to First Nations (and all Justin that little snivelling criminal could offer is his salty, useless tears) and Japanese-Canadians (as well as Italian-Canadians who also faced confiscation, curfews and placed in camps - though in smaller numbers) adds to the fraud of Canada.

It's my view that Putin is using the WEF for his own purposes and has been doing so since 1992. And that Klaus has only just figured that out.

War came at the exact right time after Covid failed and resistance to NWO started to raise. There wasn't more pressure on Russia than some 1,2,3,4,5,6 years ago. Putin is playing right in their hands. No coincidence.

The Soviets had 72 years of practice at tyranny, which they called communism. I don't think that Klaus has a patch on them. But Klaus also represents fascism not communism. Question I guess is what is Soros? A communist or a fascist.

We already know that he is a Nazi. But Hitler might have briefly engaged the idea of becoming Bolshevik too. Especially just after Roosevelt (and ra ra Churchill) said 'nothing but unconditional surrender'.

First of all, please call it like it is >ABNORMAL. In Belarus, I never refer to the past 2 years as "the new normal" when I talk face to face with Belarusian college students. 2nd, ALL dumb Russian oligarchs have been punished (bank accounts frozen, etc) for trusting their western "partners". Thus hopefully these frankenstein injection and nasal concoctions will be placed on the back burner of the stove for now. The focus for oligarchs now will be getting their money back by PUSHING for a peace deal with Ukraine. There is NO WAY Russia can juggle 2 balls in the air (medical tyranny and a special military operation). 3rd, Russia FINALLY dropped the PCR test requirement for Belarusians traveling by train/car. So Russia's ABNORMAL behavior is alleviating and NOT accelerating. I personally plan to visit Moscow this summer and I hope to meet/invite Riley for lunch with me paying the expenses. No joke - I am serious. This summer may be the last chance to do that so I want to take advantage of a lull in the "permanent fixture of public health scamdemic/plandemic.

hope you're right. Look forward to lunch :)

I also look forward to lunch on my Russian ruble expense account. I hope I do NOT embarrass you as I plan to tell ALL Russians that I am against QR codes, PCR tests, and injections. And the ONLY reason I am in Russia (spending tourist dollars) is because the restrictions were eased up. If you tell me to chill out, then I will. I plan to walk into all souvenir stores on that tourist walking street that the ONLY way to attract more tourists is to STOP QR code restrictions and PCR testing to fly in. I still need to get my Russian visa as my current Russian visa EXPIRES in June. By the way, the offer stands when you visit Minsk.

Sounds like a plan. What's the deal for arriving at the airports in Moscow these days?

Expand full comment

Russia still requires PCR test when flying into Russia. Belarus does NOT require PCR test at Minsk IAP. Almost all countries STILL require PCR test. Mexico does not I believe so connecting to Belarus is a challenge. Only the trains and cars can pass into Russia WITHOUT PCR confirmed on belta site. I predict/hope Russia pauses PCR test at airports in late May. We shall see.

Same thing happen in France. As the excellent commentator with Algerian roots and a dentist, Salim Laïbi, says "covidism is a mental sickness and now we have a new mental disease, ukrainism" https://www.lelibrepenseur.org/ . France has now really became a total dictatorship and the coming election is a sordid farce. Ukrainism is hiding the terrible death toll of the Bourla's poison. Officially, referring to the very official eudravigilance data, more than 38000 people have died as a consequence of deadly injection, that means at least ten to twenty time more according to the non official experts in the EU totalitarian state and 60 millions severe side effects. the anti Russian propaganda has reach an imaginable level and the ukrainian colors are everywhere, from the village nearby to official website. People with Russian names can be officially financially persecuted like the unvax one month ago. Crazy times.

Salut Natalie. This is the link to the articles but the famous 'Canard Enchainé'also mentioned that information: https://www.bvoltaire.fr/bloquer-les-avoirs-des-personnes-portant-un-nom-a-consonance-russe-en-voila-une-idee-quelle-est-bonne/

Given the fact that we knew their evil PLAN is to slowly murder people en-masses by injection, but still by using an instant mass murdering a.k.a war to distract people from a continuing slow mass murdering...the evilness and brazenness of the ruling class has truly reached a next level.

Anyone who understands the basics of war and the basic of economics would see that GOVERNMENTS of both sides DELIBERTAEY PROLONG THE WAR IN ORDER TO USED THIS WAR AS A PRETEXT TO DELIBERATLY DISRUPT THE WORLD ECONOMY and most importantly TO INSTILL HATRED INTO AND DEVIVE PEOPLE EVEN MORE!

Paul Craig Roberts has been able to point out all the abnormalities and absurdities in both the way the WAR has been conducted by both sides and the way the economies, especially that of financial sector, have been run...However PCR concludes that this is because of the "dumbshits" of both sides rather than the whole thing is part of the Plan: distraction and deception.

“Dumbshit Russians?”

https://www.paulcraigroberts.org/2022/03/17/dumbshit-russians/

Sadly, this also shows how fearful and stupid NOT only the masses, but the "intellectuals" have become.

In Australia where I live Government keep bombarding people with all fearful bullshit to push people, especially babies and children into PCR test and being injected with more boosters.

https://pressnewsagency.org/new-covid-case-numbers-across-australia-rise-by-37-in-a-week-as-omicron-subvariant-takes-hold/

Despite all of these, the illogical mantras still goes on "No matter what, we must need government to build roads, to make law, to maintain order, to protect peace and freedom, to protect the weak against the powerful, to ensure and implement collective goods, to protect people from themselves ...blah-blah-blah"

They/The ruling class never gives up their Plan. They will stop at nothing in order to achieve it. They have all the resources. They have time… and They have sheeple majority with them all the time!

This human race seems beyond saving!

I don't understand why Russia is pushing compulsory shots when everyone knows one of its weaknesses is demographics. It's an old country that is currently losing young lives both Ukrainian & Russian.

Doesn't look like saline to me. Most people I know who got the clot shot end up getting sick all the time with "minor stuff but not covid" or "just some light omicron", but they literally are down with something like every month!

Thanks once again, Riley. It is humorous to see all the Putin apologists who come over here to attack those of us who see the scam being carried out by both sides, to call us NATO apologists and traitors, who get all tongue-tied when you ask them about Putin pushing the "pandemic" fraud and the mass poisoning of Russians whom he just loves so much.

Putin IS an oligarch himself. Pushing the "pandemic" fraud is just one part of his general pushing of the Great Reset agenda, be it via Sberbank, via his appointee Anatoly Chubais who is in charge of Russia's "Sustainable Development" program, meaning adoption of the UN SDG Agenda 2030, aka 4IR, or Pavel Luksha, who via Global Education Futures is rewiring all of the world's education systems.
