Hey Edward! Thanks for writing the unprintable! Great reporting, good substance, well researched. What more do I need? Is there a support option on Substack or are you independently wealthy?
After seeing enough videos it's safe to say the protests in Kazakhstan are well organized, like a color revolution. Some guys were spraying traffic surveillance cams, seizing police equipment and vehicles and so on. Someone is clearly behind this.
But whatever the case may be, the government deserves everything thats coming to them, they do not give people a choice but to rise up. F the rich mofos and their robots. In the end its still us who program and maintain those robots.
Back in 2014 it was easy for me NOT to be on the side of the "color revolution" in Ukraine tainted by nazi ideology. Last year during protests in Belarus after initial hesitation I have taken the side of bats'ka (Belarus nation's daddy) Lukashenko despite many stupid things he has said and done ahead of these events in August of 2020. But I have to admit, that it becomes much more difficult for me now to be on the sides of authorities either in Russia or Kazakhstan, because of all the things they have done against the people of their own countries over the last almost two years. So now I'm on the fence about the riots in Kazakhstan, may be if it takes a "color revolution" to undermine current anti-people regime, so be it, if there is no other organized force?
Thanks for taking time to cover that topic, Edward! As usual, your piece is well written and provides important parallels with the larger pictures. For those who want to have more details about events in Kazakhstan, I have reviewed Russian press and have picked an informative article printed on left-leaning opposition portal svpressa.ru. English translation can be found on my blog stansheppard.substack.com.
I had high hopes for Russia, we were planning on moving there before this worldwide coup d'état took place. Now there is nowhere to go. At least here in the US we have plenty of armed citizens and I think this is the only reason the US government hasn't gone completely Australia on us.
surprised there haven’t yet been various coup attempts (not just Russia but every ‘developed’ country engaging in this nonsense)... they’ve shown their hand... at this point it’s hard to be surprised at what comes next.
Seems like their ideal plan would be to eventually go door to door vaxxing everyone on the spot, but if they do that the masks (and gloves) are completely off. Can’t wait for viral videos of gopniks stealing police robots and taking them apart for scrap metal.
Typical of your excellent taste in music vids appended to your blog, this one deserves a big thumbs up. I did not know about DDT (crazy name, whut’s it mean?) before but I do now. The modern Russian poetry is a bit beyond me but the overall message is clear. So sweet how she allows him into her life at the end. You are really lucky, in a way, to be living in Russia during these times and commanding Russian language as well as you do. I am envious. It looks like I missed the boat again ...
Time to stock up on baseball bats / hammers / axes / whatever.
And are hunting rifles allowed in Russia? Asking for a friend.
"Oh how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?... The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!"
now what, America has placed two daggers aimed at Russia´s gut in the Ukraine and Cazakhstan while Putin goes against 80% of his people in imposing a vaxx mandate? Is putin suicidal? the on ly sane government on Earth now is China?

Another excellent piece, Edward. Scary, terrifying, absurd, corrupt, yet happening. The music video was heartbreakingly beautiful.
F the oligarchs in every nation.
F the wealthy who don't actually produce anything but bullshit.
F Putin and other leaders who pretended to care about the people, who kept those pieces of crap in charge
And especially F the relatively new anti jab people that hijack the movement, like that snake Dr Malone.
I'm sick of the bullshit on all sides.
Wake up people, use your fucking brains and common sense!

This is terrifying! What will happen?? I await your further reporting as time goes on.
