1. Who/what (do you think) is the absolute sovereign power within Russia?

2. If you could move to anyplace of your choosing to try and avoid the Schwabian New World Order where would you go?

Dear Edward,‎

I am, alas, not a paying subscriber due to borderline penury, not as handsome as I used to be, and ‎don't bother much with elegance at this point. Nevertheless, I hope you'd be gracious enough to ‎address the following:

‎1. What is your overall sense of the Russian public response to governmental/institutional plague ‎measures? Does the public/sections of populations trust the authorities and their narrative about ‎the necessity of the various measures, including technological surveillance? Do most people get ‎injected and re-injected and how much choice do most people actually have in this matter? And ‎what is the level of awareness of the WEF/WHO-Russian regime nexus?‎

‎2. What’s the economic situation like in Russia? What's the inflation rate? Unemployment? homelessness? ‎Depression/anxiety mood? How are everyday Russians getting along? To what extent has the war ‎on Ukraine/sanctions actually changed everyday life in economic terms? Is your sense that most ‎people find this war in their interest and are willing to pay for "Putin's price hike" ;-)?

Thank you in advance and take care!‎

I read through comments and questions and have to note that among other things that Riley achieved with his blog is that he attracted here a very intelligent and respectful group of people that truly want to know more. This is not so typical nowadays, as I have learned. Excellent questions! I'm looking forward to Riley's video answer! We'll probably see a bit of his Tbilisi dwelling on the now famous hill ;)

And, what the heck! If this is free for all, why don't I throw couple of my own questions into the hat?

1. With clear gravitation of the audience of this blog to know more about Russia in general beside COVID measures, injections and digital enslavement why does author continues focusing more on these limited topics vs. wider coverage of Russian affairs? Is this just a personal preference or are there other reasons?

2. As I was mentioning in another comment, Riley's blog and interviews have achieved some notoriety among the "Russia watchers" community and not only them, I believe people with connections in higher echelons, including Riley's former employer, RT, made a note of his activity. Does Riley think he made enough enemies with his position on genetic injections, restrictions and means of digital control that it may prevent him from getting visa to be able to return to Russia?

3. Is Riley aware of the other resources dedicated to Russia and international politics as they relate to Russia, like the channel called "The Duran"? To me these people seem like the reinvented and rebranded RT that was banned by YouTube and taken off air in the West. They are definitely doing paid work and I suspect that payment comes out of RT budget. Does Riley agree with this assessment?

Russians have purportedly been unwelcome and unwanted in Europe since this war began. Have you as an American experienced any sort of hostility in Russia? What is the general feeling of the Russian public towards Europeans/Americans now when the war's going on?

Greetings from the heart of new normal Canada my friend! :)

I hope you are well.

my questions are:

Do you feel like more people are growing food gardens where you live this year as compared to previous years?

What have you grown in your garden this year?

If all centralized money and food systems collapsed overnight, what would you do?

Wishing you all the best! :)

are you aware of Steve Kirsch's million dollar "is there a virus" debate challenge? you can get the info at his substack page...Steve is certain there is a virus and he's willing to pay a million dollars to anyone who can disprove there is a virus...the "no virus" community includes among others Dr.s Tom Cowan...Andrew Kaufman..Stefan Lanka...Sam and Mark Bailey...journalists like Jon Rappaport...the reason this is so important is that the "virus theory" is what allows them to keep creating "plandemics' and thus mandatory lockdowns AND vaccines...plus it is what big pharma uses to push all their drugs and vaccines...making untold billions from the scam...this short documentary exposes...in my opinion...the virus myth....https://www.bitchute.com/video/rHmg8EY3cXPD/

Greetings Riley, it's me again keep doing ya work man!

I know this may be somewhat a broad and vague question to answer but as some average broke bloke living in a 3rd world country in Asia and as a Russian citizen, what do you think is the future of the Eurasian block as a whole with the continuation of the technocratic agenda and vaxxes in Russia, China, and the rest of Asia most especially here in Southeast Asia.

Also, do you plan on writing a novel? You got a great knack of storytelling and writing haha. Thanks and Godspeed!

You know that there's some pretty good Georgian restaurants in Moscow.

But are there any good Russian restaurants in Tbilisi?

Putin is obviously very intelligent and well spoken... but overall, is he a good guy or a bad guy?

Should dissidents in the west consider Putin an ally? Does he see western dissidents as allys?

How do I become a paying subscriber? Do I have to set up a crypto account?

This blog is about Russia, first of all, but since Riley is now a legal resident of Georgia, I thought this article from the Russian Telegram channel @Rybar may be of interest to the readers. Georgia seems to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the Russian-Ukrainian war. Actually things are going so well for them that this called for an American NGO "Transparency International" to bark a command at them: "Hey you, Georgia, you must reduce your dependency on Russia!".

Here is translated Telegram post by @Rybar

__________________

🇬🇪🇷🇺🇺🇸 About the situation in Georgia, dependence on Russia and economic pressure

The American NGO Transparency International advised Georgia to reduce its dependence on Russia. According to the data provided, the turnover of goods and the volume of transfers between the countries has increased since February.

Since the beginning of the Special Military Operation many Russians have left for Georgia as a neutral country, without language problems, with a mild climate and a cheap life. And they took their money there. By and large, Georgia has become a financial bridge between Russia and the other world.

Naturally, this caused justified indignation of the collective West, therefore, through Transparency International, they began to put pressure on Georgians.

Indeed, in January-June 2022, Georgia received about $ 1.2 billion in revenue from Russia through remittances, tourism and commodity exports. This is 2.5 times higher than the same indicator last year.

In March, April, May and June 2022, 6,400 Russian companies registered in Georgia. This is seven times higher than the annual figure of 2021.

Since February, imports of petroleum products from Russia have increased by 280%, turnover amounted to 118 million dollars. Electricity imports increased 4-fold by $9 million. Imports of coal increased 3 times and amounted to $ 23 million.

In the second quarter of 2022, money transfers from Russia to Georgia increased 6.5 times and amounted to $ 678 million. The growth of the Georgian economy in June amounted to 7.2%, and for the first half of 2022 — 10.5% on average. The main reason for the growth was the inflow of Russian capital.

The authors of the report recommended that the Georgian authorities reduce their dependence on Russia and sign free trade agreements with other countries. They also advise against giving grants to companies cooperating with Russia or Russians. In addition, it is advisable to reduce the share of Russian energy carriers.

It turns out that the report is intended to draw the attention of the whole world to the fact that Georgians, in fact, indirectly help Russian private business, and this in the current realities is unacceptable from the point of view of the collective West.

There is also a revival in the political scene of Georgia

The anti-American movement "The Power of the People" was created, which was founded by former members of the ruling party "Georgian Dream". They accused US Ambassador Kelly Degnan of dragging the country into the war. In the future they allowed the possibility of creating a new party.

Against this background, Roman Gotsiridze, the founder of Saakashvili's pro-Western opposition party United National Movement, said he would demand that the authorities ban Russians citizens from buying real estate in Georgia. He also complained that Russians buy spare parts for cars in Georgia.

The processes taking place in Georgia, despite the apparent seriousness, are reduced to a basic survival. The local political field is divided, in fact, into two types: some are fed by businesses tied to Russia. And the others rely on subsidies from the collective West and Turkey. Both of them understand that Georgia is not viable by itself, and they are simply trying to stay afloat, balancing the interests of the third countries.

For Georgian politicians from both camps, a difficult time is coming now because of the events in Nagorno-Karabakh, as they will now be pressured from all sides.

in my experience with russians, their resourcefulness is matched only by their cynicism. to what degree is noncompliance with the plandemic feasible these days? and organization against the plandemic? how much awareness is there about the glate leeset? is there a sense that ukraine could turn into afghanistan? are there as many third-rate sisters of mercy ripoff bands in your part of the world as there used to be?

Hi Riley, my "not shite" question came back to me that I was going to ask before.

I could probably write an essay about this but I'll try and be as brief as I can (it's a massive topic). This is about the "Skripal Affair".

Here are my assertions:

1) The whole thing was a false flag intelligence op/clean up operation by UK intelligence (probably MI6, GCHQ and Porton Down)

2) The fact that it "coincidentally" occurred just as Julia Skripel visited her father was no coincidence at all

3) The most likely explanation was that Mr. Skripal (who was being handled by Pablo Miller, who was working with Christoper Steele) was probably going to give Julia some intel showing how the "PeePee"/"Dodgy" "Dossier" was a fraud to exonerate Trump and improve Russian/US/UK relations - or just make a boat load of money

Since everything these glowies do always seems to be multifaceted in terms of objectives, with this they could:

1) Take out an inconvenient thread and save the reputation of Steele and MI6

2) Further demomoize Russia in the UK and around the West

3) Get some practice in/psychological warfare data on bio-security state theatre in advance of, say for example a "deadly pandemic", on British soil

For anyone who wants to do some further reading on this, may I commend the following websites:

http://thesaker.is/the-alternative-skripal-narrative/

https://www.theblogmire.com/category/sergei-skripal/

https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/?s=skripal

http://johnhelmer.net/?s=skripal

So I guess my questions are:

- What are your thoughts on all this

- What does the average Russian think about all this (I haven't even touched on the poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko, which also sounds ridiculously far-fetched)

Bonus question: I'm not sure you have mentioned John Helmer in your Substack before. Are you aware of him?

He seems pretty based to me - anyone who can publish a book on Amazon with the title "Hitler didn't die in Berlin - he moved to Melbourne where he runs the State Government of Victoria: A true COVID-19 thriller" is alright in my book. 😂

P.S. - Thanks for answering my questions last time, I loved the video.
