Look at these demons that rule over us. Look at how they all copy one another, glorying in our immiseration and enslavement. It’s the same pattern again and again. Monsters all of them.

Thanks for this very interesting piece of news that no one in the mainstream media in the west would show the least bit of interest in letting us know about , let alone attempting any analysis as to the mix of factors why this is happening.

I’m not trying to knock anybody, least of all Edward, but the Western mainstream media hasn’t been timid about reporting on problems in Crimea. Today’s NY Times, for example, has an article on the disrupted tourist season with a picture of a gas station line in Simferopol.

This situation has received plenty of Western media coverage, across the "political spectrum." This skimpy piece is light on details, much less analysis.

Hello Edward,

I just wanted to send you blessings and let you know that every time i wonder when would you write again, next day, there you are! Real and Direct Communication is a wonderful thing and I just wanted to acknowledge it. I pray you are doing ok.

In my region they have banned filling gas cans, so you are out of luck if you want to cut your lawn, fill your chainsaw or boat motor. Apparently people were filling gas cans and trying to sell the fuel for a profit online. According to local authorities, everything is fine. I filled up my vehicle the other day with no problems, but I hear of people being limited to 40/liters per fill up. Living in Russia, is like living in the twilight zone. Stranger than fiction!

Food and basics are next. Don't worry, be happy. Yeah, it's worse than Edward reported.

There is no ''world leader'' who is not controlled within a demonic mindset that is totally isolated from the Truth of Beauty and Goodness.

We must open our hearts and learn to find common sense in order to co-operate for common good so that we can dismiss these psychopathic narcissists.

Surely the causal issue of our fear and confusion relates to the aspirations and values encompassed in the ''adult hood'' wherein we have become encased. Our delusions exist simply because the ''hood'' is focused on the manifestation in space of a mere 0.000001% of the awesome contents of Divine Mind contained in that space.

Thus, we exist in ignorance that the ''Wholiness'', presented by our body-spacesuit as space, is the omnipresence, omniscience and omnipotence ''hiding in plain sight'' (let's face it, only space fits the concept). In other words, what we see as ''the Universe'' is Divine Consciousness exploring ITs limitless possibilities on endless levels of experience; whilst complete in ITs perfect existential Truth of Beauty and Goodness.

In this ''Here-and-Now'' point of space-time, our ''state'' reflects our ignorance that we are witnessing the Real Truth in plain sight ie the inherent manifestation of Beauty and Goodness wherein life is manifest. So we ignore, or we take for granted, the obvious presence of ''God'' as the apparent ''space'' revealed by five senses. So, our 'science'' continues to investigate the material world despite having proven that every thing we detect is upheld within the 'invisible'' 99.99999% that we believe is space. Small wonder that we crash around seeking ''rewards'' in and from an illusory ''nano slice'' of the ''Divine Movie''.

When people are trained and ''paid'' to make up rules, they have no reason to stop a determined ''run'' into perdition as the rules become evermore ridiculous and divorced from common sense. So numerous wannabees follow non-sense and psychopathic tendencies upload into highly-indoctrinated narcissists who decide they are destined to ''lead'' (blind leading blind).

Only a complete reversal into Real Education in its true role ''to bring out from within'' can dismiss the lies and obfuscation of millennia. This is our ''missing link'' for re-connection to the ''Divine Space of Pure Knowingness''.; the essential means to dismiss delusions that lead us to accept ''hell on earth'' amidst Divine Beauty and Goodness - The Nature of God ITSelf. We must understand that our Only Real Freewill Choice is between the awesome wonders of Divine Reality and the Absolute Terror of artificial every thing; controlled by demonic minds inverted into total separation from Reality.

We need to redevelop incumbent systems as ''Real Self Gifts'' in order to trigger beneficent cause-and-effect. This re-focus will enable re-connection to All That Is Wholy. Indeed, we must learn and accept that ''Love of Life'' is Divine Mind discovering how ''Being The Perfect Experiential God'' occurred; how IT is Love of eternal exploration-investigation-discovery of endless possibilities guided and protected on multiple dimensions - The Kingdom of God in action.

Then we can under-stand Divine Irony and learn to laugh at our collective fears while ''trapped in the ghost train'' of God's Game :D

Now that's a Real Super Computation! To paraphrase one soul who completed the quest for Truth -Nisargadatta Maharaj - realisation is simply knowing that ''the seeker is the sought''.

Nice reading from you Riley. I wish you are fine, as well as your son and those you love. Maybe could you write about you and your whereabouts. I/We remain faithful to this Substack because we really befriended you... It's always nice to hear about a friend...

Meanwhile God bless you

Hey Riley, great to hear from you again. But, but, but.... Scott Ritter and Doug McGregor assured their followers that a Russian total triumph over the Ukrainian Nazi regime was imminent. This news from Crimea just can't be true. 😏

Thanks for the truth check, as usual.

The Real Mary Rose's avatar

The Ukraine war will no doubt be blamed, but it seems to me that poor Crimea is going to be an experimental "Smart City" - what they plan for the rest of us.

Alfred Nassim's avatar

This is nothing compared to what the West, Africa, Asia and Australia is going to go through once their reserves run low - due to the closure of Hormuz.

Russia has a vast number of refineries so this is really a logistics problem. I am surprised they don't send diesel and petrol by ship to the various Crimean ports.

Igz Navi's avatar

And vast numbers of refineries are burning under Putin's nose.

Alfred Nassim's avatar

There are 382 refineries in all of Russia. More importantly, Russia exports plenty of oil, natural gas, fertiliser, grain and a plethora of products. Europe remains a major importer of these products from Russia.

I don't know where you are. But if you are in Western Europe, you are stuffed. Enjoy! 😊

If you are in the UK, keep your daughters out of the clutches of the Pakistani gangs which are government-approved.

For the last three years, people have been claiming that the West is about to run out of oil and food and all the rest. And it hasn't happened. Keep dreaming. In the meantime, the only people suffering shortages are Russians........

And whatever you do, don't get in the way of the Pakistanis.

And yet the fact remains, the only place with shortages is Russia....... Hard fact.

The media campaign by the West has been successful. Granted. It inspired a 30% increase in gasolene demand. This has lead to shortages. Some people filled tankers and advertised the petrol for resale at a substantial markup. All of this is artificial. It will collapse in due course and those people will not need to buy petrol again for a long time.

Meanwhile, behind the front line in Ukraine, Russian drones are demolishing a massive number of petrol stations. Tanker drivers are refusing to resupply front line units as they don't want to be targeted.

Of course, the Daily Telegraph and the BBC will not report any of this.

Try this for some real information:

Ad hominem suggests that you are short on reality.

The current reality is that there is no shortage of gasolene or diesel in all of Russia except for Crimea. The propaganda effort of the West resulted in a 30% spike in demand for gasolene. No country can handle that. Now, this bubble is deflating of its own accord.

The refineries often shut down for repairs during the short summer season. Currently, they are going back online. Shortly, Russia will resume exporting diesel and gasolene.

The cleptocracy has no limits - as long as the people allow the non-russian entities (ruling Russia since February 1917) to rob and terrorize them.

Comrade Lenin once said "When it comes time to hang the capitalists, they will sell us the rope."

Putin and his oligarchs are , in effect, selling the rope to the West with which they will be hanged.
