I woke at 3 AM thisnoring and realised with stark horror that Edward thinks I'm a tightarse. I am not... (shuffles, twists awkwardly, and kicks an itinerant human knucklebone next to my bare and dirty feet)... a paid subscriber.

So, before I am declared a pariah, and you all begin to throw stones at me "Fie for shame. Begone filth", please let me explain. Our Australian Prime Minister has threatened to cancel my age pension as punishment for my crimes. And yes, I do admit I am guilty of being unvaccinated. But at age 79, I cannot go back to working cattle on horseback because cattle are to be banned (our glorious scientists inform us they are destoying the universe with farts). I have applied for a job collecting scalps from any doctors, politicians, journalists, or bureaucrats I am able to subdue but, even at $5 per scalp, this will not pay the bills so, just for the interim, I am forced to defer paid subscriptions. I plead with you to understand this temporary lapse. Yours in loyalty to Edward. Tony Ryan. Australia.

Dear Edward, thanks for your most passionate and honest interview, you are more patriotic that 80 percent of the Russians. By being patriotic I mean you asking the right questions that will probably lead to saving more Russian lives and to the improvement of the situation inside Russia, not being rah rah rah Pro Russian propaganda like Duran or Saker. I am honoured to have such compatriots as you are. Thanks for your toils.

Riley: "What kind of message does this send" (exchanging head of Nazis for a fucking Oligarch).

Key point. THEY DON'T CARE.

The war is another Oligarch war used to rob people and gain more control over them. Giving them the boogeyman, a team to cheer for, entertain them and avoid thinking in terms of Oligarchy vs People.

So keep them Oligarchs (your friends) save and play along with the show.

"Giving them the boogeyman, a team to cheer for" - Russia was deprived by the "international community" from participation in most team sports in international competitions, including football and hockey! Perhaps this war replaces that aspect of life for Russian society? Just a thought... While likely this is not entirely true, it has some basis for consideration.

The reason I support President Putin and the "special military operation" is all about sovereignty.

"We will never betray or lose our sovereignty." "Sovereignty is the guarantee of everyone’s freedom." the Russian President said at a concert dedicated to the 1,160th anniversary of the birth of Russia’s statehood.

Russia is 1,160 years old! Ukraine was created FROM THE RUSSIAN EMPIRE by Communist Vladimir Lenin in 1917 as a Soviet Republic.

There were ONLY hundreds (mostly in Saint Petersburg) that protested against Russia's partial mobilization of 300,000 reservists (under 2 percent of Russia's reservists). And I ask> Where were these Saint Petersburg protesters when the LIBERAL European supported Saint Petersburg mayor initiated an injection "green pass" to enter businesses in Saint Petersburg??? The young liberals did NOT protest against an injection mandate. Why??? Only middle age small business owners who work hard for living protested against injection mandates in Saint Petersburg. Saint Petersburg is like LA California and VERY liberal.

There were THOUSANDS in Moscow near the Kremlin, holding Russian flags, as well as flags of the country’s regions and political parties. Celebrities, including actors and pop stars, are taking part in the ‘We Don’t Abandon Our Own’ event. Своих не бросаем!

Did you see the price of flights because everyone was departing…

"Everyone" is an absolute term and the opposition to the Russian government uses "everyone" to over exaggerate in order to make a point. RT has article on the small protests and RT has another article about more Russians than usual buying airline tickets to leave Russia. Are these one way or round trip? Regardless airline airfare ticket prices are based on supply and demand. Nothing unusual about inflation and supply/demand economics.

I paid 1500 euros in August 2022 flying on western airlines. In 2019, I only paid $1000 for round trip from Minsk to USA on Russian airlines Aeroflot. The very small amount of Russians trying to "flee" Russia is about .01 percent of the 300,000 eligible in a less than 2 percent of PARTIAL mobilization.

What western news will NOT tell you is that the REAL REASON for this airfare inflation and bottleneck is because of VERY limited destinations and VERY limited airlines allowed to fly to/from Russia. Also the western news will NOT tell you that EVERYDAY people like me are paying a high of illegal unilateral USA/EU/UK sanctions on Belarus and Russians airlines that are FORBIDDEN to fly almost anywhere in the world. (Only Turkey, Armenia, and Georgia and a couple of other countries.) A visa to visit friends/relatives are extremely limited and may be nearly impossible for Russians/Belarussians to get a visa to USA/EU/UK. I had to wait 4 and a half hours at the land border crossing into Lithuania and I am an American. Is it fair to punish everyday people like me?

My apologies, youre right. Not everyone obviously.

I didnt get the information from western media or RT, but from Russian SVTV NEWS on telegram.

Expand full comment

No apologies are needed. Not all Russian media is pro Russian. I do NOT have a telegram channel so I am NOT familiar with SVTV "spin" on Russia's "special military operation". Nearly all media (Russian and western) and especially opinions have a bit of spin (intentional or not) towards their opinions and facts. For example, I believe the Moscow Times is an opposition news outlet and based in Amsterdam.

A virus does NOT exist because a virus has NEVER been proven to exist. ALL sexual diseases (including monkeypox are caused by poisons produced by BACTERIA or yeast infections. Even HPV is NOT a virus. HPV is a wart. Sexual diseases that are caused by bacteria are usually caused by perversely putting something where it does NOT belong.

Australian Doctor Samantha Bailey and Canadian Doctor Andrew Kaufman support the "terrain theory" as well. I support the "terrain theory" too.

For the record, I have NEVER had a sexual disease and NEVER will have a sexual disease. I am a very clean person and take showers daily and I have traditional values.

People who believe in viruses will ALWAYS live in THEIR belief that a human can "catch" a disease floating in air from another human.

Expand full comment

The word virus comes from an origin that means vile venomous vaporous. In that sense, there are no viruses. On the other hand, there are packets of DNA/RNA released from the body that float around the world, communicating information to other bodies in the biosphere.

I liked one hand of your post because that seems like a Rockefeller medicine terminology. However what about your "other hand"> DNA/RNA released and "floating around"? I have an open mind so I respectfully ask about any respected doctor that supports that idea. And also references in your research that support that idea because that sounds like the "germ theory" to me.

Have you read ´´Virus Mania´´ or the work of Dr Stefan Lanka and Dr Tom Cowan? Since it has never been shown (even after after many controlled trials and experiments), that one human can directly ´´infect´´ another (in other words cause the same disease and symptoms in another by the transferal of some material in their sputum or in their breath), the question arises as to how clusters of disease occur, flu epidemics, colds, mumps chicken pox etc. The answer TPTB don´t want you to consider is that ´´it´s a mystery´´!! Much the same way as they don´t want us to consider that the heart cannot possibly- from an engineering perspectice- be a ´´pump´´ (well then we would have to ask what is this ´´life force´´ at the core of our existence that transports this thick viscous liquid blood under pressure over great distances to our extremities , stops and then brings it all back in the opposite direction), or that a bumblebee cannot possibly be flying in any conventional sense. These questions of course confound the technocratic mechanistic minds of mainstream science and big pharma based medicine. They bring us into a place of mystery where mathematical reasoning looks childish if it cannot be open to other mystical influences (Think Tesla´s Vortex..which actually perfectly describes the function of the heart). Resonance is central in music´s sonic relationships and in the essence of life itself which is ´´Water´´. Think ...what is it that nothing can live without? Water!! The bumblebee actually may be floating (ie Resonating) rather than flying as he hovers in a straight line between points. What made St Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross levitate when together? Something morethan sexual attraction?Perhaps people connect through resonance when detoxification (purification) of some kind is required. In the throes of passion, people resonate - who would swap Puccini for real love with their true soul mate? Relations that are toxic or abusive may create a different kind of resonance which involves the exchange of spiritual and/or bacterial debris between the parties. A Toxic problem (needing cleansing) could be directly related to a hidden or real environmental poison in the air or food or water, or it could be a rite of passage detoxification event programmed by nature over time where an overload of some particular bacteria needs shedding in childhood in order to protect from later adult threats and illnesses. There is some evidence for instance that people who´ve had measles and mumps as children show reduced susceptibility to cancer and other events in adulthood.

James> Greetings with my best regards. Yes, I am VERY familiar with the work of both Doctor Tom Cowan and Doctor Stephan Lanka. I also like Doctor Samantha Bailey and Doctor Andrew Kaufman. I must also give full credit to David Icke because he was the first person that I personally heard to say that a virus does NOT exist in late April 2020. I immediately started to research and found an internet article and bitchute videos about Antoine Bechamp's terrain theory in June 2020. ( I must admit that in March 2020 I was still somewhat asleep.) I firmly believe that mold in HVAC systems, bacteria (mouse feces for example), parasites such as ticks that act as bacteria transmitting vector (Plum Island biolab research), and poisons such as North Korea poisoning a defector (in Malaysia I believe), and fungus. I believe humans react with a personal detox when exposed to a "polluted" terrain that are caused by mold, fungus, bacteria, poison, parasites. From a severe allergic reaction to a simple "common cold" personal detox. In my opinion, evidence of a virus has NEVER been presented as in the case WON by Doctor Stephan Lanka in the highest German court >that the measles "virus" could NOT be proven to exist.

Might be worth considering Scott Ritter's and Colonel Douglas MacGregor's analysis of the conflict.

If you want a 'positive note' to end this on, it is this: the war is an opportunity for Russians to clear out some of their bad elements by further empowering the military while also purging that military of incompetence as performance becomes more important. Likewise, the state is attempting to bolster the church and anti-liberal elements in order to make the ideological divide clearer and less complicated.

Thanks for this, Riley. Some segments which i found really hit the point. Time marks are approximate.

17:00 - Russian gas and ammonia continue flowing through pipelines traversing Ukraine, full connivance of the Russian and Ukrainian regimes, supposedly fighting to the death.

24;00 - Rolo charges that the Putin regime has “lost Ukraine, makes appeals which i found downright xenophobic, such as about Russia’s blood rights to Ukraine, states most Ukrainians speak Russian, and this makes them Russian. This is absurd. A friend of mine, a Slavic languages instructor who loves learning all sorts of languages, visited Armenia during Soviet times, and started speaking to people in Armenian. They responded as if insulted, saying they could speak Russian well, as if he was a Russian patronizing them. He clarified he was American, which changed their attitude. But no one would say Armenia is therefore Russia. Rollo thinks he’s being liberal acknowledging that Ukrainian exists, when it’s in fact been a separate language since 900-1100 A.D.

28:00 - Marko refers to “Little Russians” and “Great Russians,” as if we were back in Czarist times, when Ukrainians were referred to as “Little Russians,” and the place was called “Little Russia” on maps.

40:00 - Joking about how some many pro-Russia bloggers in the West assert Putin is surrounded by 5th columnists, so much so that one must wonder if Putin is the real 5th columnist, having appointed them all and even re-appointed them. Reality is that the Russian government is pursuing the “Pandemic” fraud and continuing to implement the core measures of 4IR.

49:00 - Discussion about the recent exchange of 50-some Russian POWs and a pro-Russia oligarch in Ukraine who worked to create a network of supporters who were supposed to deliver places such as Kharkiv to Russian troops as they showed up (which did not happen), for a couple of hundred members of the Nazi-sympathizing Azov Battalion, including its head. The supposed Russian goal of de-Nazifying Ukraine has just been officially shredded.

56:00 - Above people being like gang members in the US. How the planned “cakewalk” through Ukraine by the Russian army failed to materialize, a huge Russian intelligence failure.

1:02:00 - Good discussion by all three of charges against them by pro-Russia bloggers in the West that they were “demoralizing” the Russian people, responding vigorously that they were simply saying the same thing many Russian patriots and hard core pro-military hardliners were/are saying, people who are actually in Russia, vs the people blogging on beaches in Florida.

"Please listen to these live-in-the-place guys, use your own brain to make your own conclusion, folks.

To me, I already saw its true nature from the beginning!

All of them, they play people's lives just like their favorite sport! I can no longer blame them. People are so stupid indeed!

I survived Vietnam War. I learned my lesson, which unfortunately cannot be passed down even to my own grand kids!

-The so-called 1st World War could not teach people anything! -Randolph Bourne with "War is the Health of the State" (1918) could not wake up the sheeple! And came the Veteran war hero General Smedley D. Butler with "War Is a Racket" could not wake up them / the people, the sheeple either! So the so-called Second World War came which was even worse with even more popular support! Then the Korean War, the Vietnam War, Middle East War, Afgan War, Iraq War...Big war, small war... war after war... together with all sort of government engineered crises, false flags, one after another... Small protests, Large protests, thousands, millions protesters marched on the streets chanting, demanding and ... went home...kept voting and whining!

-Nothing changed, but everything has been getting worse and worse everyday ever since!

Still, NO ONE learns anything, even right now with the Crimedemic brutal lockdowns with all brazen straight face lies and shameless flipflops, which paved the way for the imposing of the murder clotshot. Consequently, SADS, myocarditis, drop-dead with "unknown causes!" have rapidly happened all over the world....All are obviously planned DEMOCIDE!

Still, No one dares to think of the Bastilles! Every "smart leading dissident" just keep talking, talking, and talking, and urging "do not rise up, just do not comply" (as if Government thugs and goons would just let them "do not comply" and would leave them alone!) and then asking people for donations or/and selling merchandises!

OK, fine with me! Have fun! Good luck!

PS:

Governments Don't Give A Shit About You At All! At All! Patriotism Is Always The Resort of The Scoundrels, and is the Death Trap for Idiots!

Stalingrad and their top analyst Anatoliy Nesmiyan (El Murid) are among some of the most negative groups in Russia in terms of the view of the future. Their forecast needs to be taken with a grain of salt, but still taken into account as the most negative in the range of possible scenarios.

Expand full comment

Yeah, the tone assumed by tovarisch Artëm and his YouTube channel, Stalingrad TV, is a bit too aggressive and the inevitable question comes, is he really pro-russian or is he trying to capture audience on the opposite side of Navalny, yet trying to bring them to the same denominator, overthrowing current regime, no matter what the consequences? I do watch Stalingrad videos once in a while, but, as I said, with significant measure of skepticism. I think videos by Roy TV provide a more balanced approach, though nobody is perfect.

MOSCOW, February 5. /TASS/. The US Bloomberg news agency published a headline saying "Russia Invades Ukraine" on its website on Friday, then admitted its mistake and removed the article.

"We prepare headlines for many scenarios and one of those headlines was inadvertently published at around 4 PM ET (about midnight Moscow time - TASS) today on our website," the news agency said, adding "We deeply regret the error."

It is specified that the cause of this happening is being investigated.

Lately, Ukraine and the West have been increasingly echoing claims of an alleged possible Russian "invasion" of Ukraine ever more frequently. Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov branded such information as an "empty and groundless"

No SMO. The Russians can say they are at war with NATO, which is the truth.
