Riley once again leading the way in the field of 5D denialism and pseudo analysis about Russia. Reputable impartial sources such as Ritter and Margarita Simonyon have respectively proven that the SMO is a high tech, 5th generation, modern, WW1 style trench war of pure attrition and that all deviations from whatever the Kremlin is saying constitute 6th columnist treason and they are also 5D chess in action. Prigozhins not mutiny is a perfect example of this, he is a despicable 6th column NATOCIASBUMOSSAD agent traitor who is also going to lead the assault on Kiev from Belarus which required a 5D plan that could only work if the Russian public was tricked into thinking MoD was incompetent and the country was on the brink of 1917 again.

Riley demonstrates total ignorance about how satellites work in modern WW1 attrition warfare which is also high tech, NATO satellites can be easily fooled with 5D deception. Since Prigozhin and Wagner are NAFOSBU assets thats exactly what the satellites will see. From the satellites perspective the Wagner guys in Belarus will just look like 5th columnist traitors to Russia which they are. So Kiev will never see them coming and VSU wont try and stop them just like the Russian troops didnt try and stop them.

It should be clear by now that unlike Shoigu Riley has no military background whatsoever and that unlike Simonyon he is not an impartial source who only gives safe and reliable information. 5D denialism has no place in the public square as it undermines public trust in convoluted narrative spinning on the part of paid but totally impartial sources such as Peskov, RT, Donbass Devushka, Big Serge, etc etc.

"Yevgeny Prigozhin is a businessman. And when the work of his business began to put spokes in the wheels, he decided to show his teeth. Shoigu did not just want to disband the Wagnerites—the [Russian MOD] even encroached on the Wagner base in the Central African Republic. And this is money, contracts and the interest of the Russian elites, for whom Prigozhin works."

This seems like the most plausible explanation for the acrimonious "lost weekend" which yielded nothing except for 13 additional dead young Russian pilots.

Ironically, "13" was the same number of young soldiers blown into very tiny bits when Creepy Joe's neocon nitwit barbarians mismanaged the military exit from Afghanistan.

So once again, we see how soldiers as well as innocent civilians are cavalierly viewed as "collateral damage sacrifices" to money-hungry vampiric war Gods who are never satiated by human blood or the desire for more cash.

These bloodthirsty creatures are sprinkled throughout every continent hating each other, but despising humanity much more. And that's why they're united in establishing a worldwide digital biosecurity surveillance state resembling an open-air prison.

Oh I forgot, happy Independence Day! 😁

Fascinating to me to see the spectrum in Russia reporting the problems that are ALMOST EXACTLY the SAME as in the USA! Oligarchs. Rich people who control the money flows, who don't listen to the people.... Thank you Edward because this helps people in the West see how badly corrupted the ENTIRE world powers are. Its not 'just the West' or "just the USA" It is *everywhere*...Evil, a desire for total control of humanity and money money money makes the world go round...

How about some poetry?

Treason's Embrace: A Tale of President Putin

In Russia, a tale of treachery we weave,

Where President Putin's actions, darkly conceived.

A traitor's shadow cast upon the land,

In league with globalists, a dire hand.

Once noble throne, now tarnished and stained,

As Putin, the leader, pursued power unrestrained.

Oligarchs, their pockets bulging with gold,

Avarice and greed their stories unfold.

With cunning steps, he dances through deceit,

Cloaked in falsehood, his true nature discreet.

The people, unaware, blinded by his charm,

Unveiling his betrayal would cause great alarm.

The land, once prosperous, now shackled in chains,

As globalists thrive, their influence remains.

They plunder resources, their gluttony unbound,

Leaving Russia desolate, barren ground.

With hollow promises, Putin seduced the crowd,

Yet beneath his facade, corruption avowed.

Loyal subjects turned wary, filled with dismay,

As their beloved country crumbled away.

Oh, Russia, lament your fateful plight,

Where darkness reigns, shrouding hope in the night.

But amidst despair, a flicker of fire still glows,

Yearning for justice, its passion only grows.

Let truth's sword rise, to sever deceit's thread,

Exposing the traitor, justice to be spread.

For Russia's fate rests not in one man's hand,

But in the hearts of those who firmly stand.

Through tempests and trials, a nation reborn,

From the ashes, its spirit shall adorn.

The echoes of betrayal, they shall not last,

As Russia's true strength is unveiled at last.

Thanks for the great overview. Of all sources you quoted, would Katyusha's commentary have the biggest impact and the largest audience?

At this point, after having read hundred of pages, heard hours from ten of commenters in many countries... Nobody really knows the whereabouts of what happened...

All we know is that we are breathing, our hearts beat, we are a little bit sad (euphemism...)because our children are all in that shit...

Today is gonna be a rainy day here in Bugey, the garden is doing well this year with an alternance of sun and rain every week... I will ride to the city to get stuff and share joy and vain worries with good friends and give a little course: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lg97HY0fUTI ... You can try it, it's good...

I wish you all a good day or night...

Thank you for the radiant sunshine now illuminating this event, heretofore shrouded in the mysterious fog of impenetrable columns of Cyrillic prose.

Thanks very much for your translations Rolo. Without these insights into what Russians are thinking I would have to read the 5D Anon crazies. One line that really hit home was that "anti-Putin does not necessarily mean pro-West". I am starting to get some feel for the nuances in Russian society and it's relationship with Western Liberalism .

Great range of views, thank you.

The Neo-Soviet’s piece is really lively. What are the Neo-Soviets? Are they for an expanded Russian Federation? What is their ideology?

We're spoiled to have you pre-digesting the Russian news for us. In return, let me attempt to answer your question.

Russia-watching in the West, in recent memory, has always framed Russia as an enemy (since the end of WW2, I am given to understand that the opinion was more mixed before then). The alt-media have to work with that perspective and move the needle from enemy (existing position) to equal (desired position). To do this, it must match the way America has, or gained, hegemony - through both military power (5D badass army everything is as planned narrative) and resource-extraction/industrial power (Russia has the best military hardware, and more of it than degenerate NATO has!)

With this as the marketing push, I believe that alternative perspectives are kept to the wayside, as they would distract from this winning narrative. In a way, it's more commenting on what the West has lost, than extolling Russia per se.

Something similar would be the recurring Fremen Mirage according to A Collection of Unmitigated Pedantry, seen here:

https://acoup.blog/2020/01/17/collections-the-fremen-mirage-part-i-war-at-the-dawn-of-civilization/

I believe ACOUP puts Sparta in the same boat. If I can find the link for that as well, I'll let you know.

One thing about 1917 I find interesting is how quickly and completely the existing regime collapsed in February (O.S.). Who thought even a few weeks before that the ancient monarchy would vanish like a puff of smoke, with no sector of society or the state putting up meaningful resistance to preserve it? Of course, the matter of what would come next took a lot more time and strife to settle, but Russia collectively was remarkably okay with dumping what they had.

Turning to today … who knows.

What is Wagner doing in Africa? NATO/Western powers are disrupting African governments and setting up "rebel groups"- usually Islamics - to kill dissidents, particularly Christians

"The above commentaries span Russia’s entire ideological spectrum. What’s strange though is that this diversity of views is barely represented in Western alternative media."

It's almost like it is controlled by a single, centrally coordinating power, kinda like mainstream media seems to be, y'know? But I don't think that's the case when it comes to alt-media, atleast not for the most part. Most so-called alt-media is simply the echo chambers of fantasy of the people behind them. The real world isn't that interesting; the fantasy that soothes their mind the most is.

This 'matter' or '(non)event' has happened in a WHO friendly country. In my opinion all events, no matter what WHO country it takes place, must first be judged from global angle, or at least must all WHO nations interests, and that of WEF, be examined and should be considered to play a part in the event or serve certains unknown goals of our global WHO WEF 'government'

To play the covid part well, all leaders of WHO capitulated countries, acted the same. We know that is because of statistics, and measures mankind knows for at least five decades their bullshit, and all have the same purpose: scare the citizins and those citizins can get rid of their fear by giving away freedom. For example: Globally especially the elderly got massively killed in their hospitalhouses with poison the directors of those houses bought in never ever big amounts in march.

They WHO nations all made the same mistakes simultaneously, knowing that the measures would kill their citizens for at least five decades.

So all countries are 'in whatever this is' together. All the show us is what it says: show. Show as in: not real. They show us what we believe or talk about or being frightened by at the moment it pays off to 'them', they winn something they need for whatever they want.

I think that the WEF publiced their ideas because of that is serving their goal in one way or another. I mean for example to make public their goal of reducing the world population to only 1/20 of what is now, included the term useless eaters... etc.

What the WEF goal is, and if it is even worse or better of non-existing in the first place, I don't know. But it is highly unlikely is they really like to diminish the world population with 19/20 to 1/20, they would inform their victims before they kill them.

Also know WEF people that there is no environmental threat, because they made that bullshit up theirselves.

All government act together for some reason and show us what is good for them, instead of taking care of our business.

The bigger events in Russia are no exeption, because in my opinion on global and real important issues they agree all on the same take over power measures, so that is clearly where this is all about. Zelensky is also part of the cast of the play. And yes, he is having his own people killed, but, take a good look, and you will see every government is killing their citizins without any problem.

And also on the killing matter, Russia is like every other nation killing its own citizens for some reason only they know.
