Good topic to cover, Edward! From what I read and listened to on this subject, two main things in particular upset Russians about the new mandatory evacuation law:

1. Evacuation can be mandated by the government not only in case of emergency, but also in case of a "threat of emergency". One man aptly illustrated threat of emergency with an anecdote (Russians love their anecdotes and have them for every occasion).

"Woman yells at the man walking down the street from her high floor in apartment building:

- Hey man, I know you are planning to rape me!

- But how could I do it, you are up there on the 9th floor and I'm here on the street?

- That's not a problem, I'll come down!"

2. If mandatory evacuation is declared citizens are obligated to leave their premises unlocked taking with them only their documents and the most basic valuables like a wedding ring etc. It is the "unlocked" part that irritates people in Russia since they know, there will be those who'll stay behind on purpose and will loot their apartments.

Hard to like this. Looks like the pandemic has failed and now war is on the cards. Suggest re-orientating needed to stop that as well.

I find it scary. That's because the government, like most, is a police State government staffed by gangsters who take their marching orders from more powerful gangsters like Klaus Schwab, a eugenicist. I wish I had read this before publishing my most recent blog post because it would have fit in so well.

A vaguely similar law was recently proposed in Spain - in a "state of crisis" all citizens are obliged to do what the government says https://english.elpais.com/spain/2021-07-06/spain-drafts-bill-allowing-state-to-mobilize-all-adults-in-times-of-crisis.html

Yikes, this is creepy 😬

Reminds me of a dream I had last year where TPTB set fires throughout the region in order to corral everyone into detention centers, where people were then prevented from leaving for their own “safety.”

as the "vaccinated" continue to drop dead like flies, which will accelerate, the need to dispose rapidly of the bodies will become essential.

These days the United States is up to its neck in Ukraine, so I hope it's not connected to that.

There's a gleefulness too, in the illustration of a tractor driving over the piles of dead bodies. Will the same fields be used to plant potatoes?

Politicians and military personnel hate us because we are human and they aren't.

Passage from <b><i>“The Forsaken: An American Tragedy in Stalin’s Russia”</b></i> by Tim Tzouliadis

Pp 101-104, Chapter 9 “Spetzrabota” [Special Work]

“Through the course of 1937 and 1938, Americans such as Victor Herman began to disappear, one after another. Many of the arrested were shot not long afterward, often with their fathers, who had brought them to the USSR. After their denunciation, the baseball players from Boston, Arthur Abolin and his younger brother, Carl, were both arrested and executed with their father, James Abolin, in 1938. Their mother died later, in a concentration camp. Only their younger sister, Lucy Abolin—the precocious drama student of the Anglo-American school—was left untouched.[footnote source 30] Other records emerged that revealed how certain victims were forced to testify against their family members in so-called “confrontation interrogations.” In March 1938, a twenty-five-year-old New Yorker named Victor Tyskewicz-Voskov confessed that his mother had been recruited into “espionage in favor of Germany.” Under extreme duress, Tyskewicz-Voskov denounced his mother to his interrogator as a “Trotskyist, inclined antagonistically against the Soviet power.” The NKVD officers then placed his forty-three-year-old mother in the same interrogation room while her son repeated his denunciation in front of her. His mother bravely confessed her own guilt while steadfastly refusing to implicate her son. They were both executed on June 7, 1938.[ footnote source 31]

In the killing fields of Butovo, twenty-seven kilometers south of Moscow, the depressions in the ground later revealed themselves in aerial photography. The mass graves ran for up to half a kilometer at a time. Nor was there anything particularly unique about Butovo. Within the Soviet Union such “zones” were differentiated only by their location. Orders sent from Moscow were applied uniformly throughout the USSR, from the Polish border across one sixth of the surface of the earth to the Pacific Ocean. If the NKVD were instructed that 250,000 people should fill one of the eight mass graves in Byelorussia, then a similar ratio was applied to every other Soviet republic, and every regional district of Russia, too, including the Moscow region itself. At Butovo, exactly the same procedure was followed by the NKVD brigades as elsewhere.[footnote source 32]

In the 1990s, a Russian society for the rehabilitation of Stalin’s victims located within the files of KGB pensioners a “Comrade S.,” the first komendant of an <b>NKVD execution squad<b> who was willing to be interviewed for the historical record. Comrade S. happily discussed his <b>spetzrabota</b>— the so-called <b>special work</b>—which he had performed with his team of a dozen executioners during the Yezhovchina, the days of Yezhov. Comrade S. remembered how his unit had waited in a stone house on the edge of the killing fields while their prisoners’ files were checked. How they led their victims to the edge of the pit and held the standard-issue Nagan pistol to the back of their heads. How they pulled the trigger and watched the bodies crumple and fall into the hole in the earth. And then how they repeated the process over and again until, like every other Soviet worker, they had met their quota for the night’s work. At the end of their shift, Comrade S. and the dozen members of his squad would retire to their stone headquarters exhausted, to drink the liters of vodka specially allocated for the job at hand. Obviously their masters understood the traumatic effect the spetzrabota had on the minds of the executioners. The vodka salved their consciences as the dawn rose over Moscow, and a new day began for the city’s fear-filled inhabitants.; footnote source 33]

In the mornings at Butovo, the executioners heard the sound of the bulldozers covering over the mass graves, and the fresh graves being hollowed ready for the next night’s work. In their stone house they washed their hands and faces, removing the inevitable back-spray of blood, and doused themselves in cheap eau de cologne, once again provided by their masters, who seemed to have thought of everything and who understood that the smell of death clings to those who administer it. Although they were allocated leather aprons and gloves and hats to protect their uniforms from the spattered gore of blood and skull and brain, the men found it was impossible to stay clean.[footnote source 34]

Judging from the undisturbed recollections of Comrade S., the NKVD guards remained convinced they were not murderers but righteous executioners sanctioned by their state. With prolonged ideological training, their moral sense became disguised and distorted by euphemism. The brigade was enforcing the “supreme penalty for social defence,” or administering the “nine-gram ration.” Words such as liquidation or repression inadequately concealed the simple act of murder. While numbed by the repetitiveness of their “special work,” the executioners became as passionless as slaughtermen, too busy for introspection. Their spetzrabota did not end for many years; it kept arriving until it was hardly special any longer, just monotonous in its routine. [footnote source 35] There was, however, one unexpected consequence to their lives. Their work made them wealthy. Each NKVD executioner was paid special ruble bonuses for killing people in “the zones,” so much in fact that their increased salaries excited the envy of their NKVD colleagues not selected for this work. And the ruble bonuses mounted up as, night after night, the pits were filled and new ones were dug again the next morning. [footnote source 36]

In the fields of Butovo, apple trees were planted over the dead. In Depository No. 7, at the Lubyanka, the NKVD entered their names into four hundred bound volumes. Each name was marked with a red pencil and the note “sentence carried out.” From these books, researchers later calculated that <b>85 percent of the dead were noncommunists, ordinary people who mostly came from the Russian peasantry</b>. Given the scale of the genocide, the fate of the Americans was scarcely a matter of significance. The statistical evidence had no regard for the captain of the Moscow Foreign Workers’ baseball team, Arnold Preedin, or his brother, Walter Preedin, from Boston, Massachusetts, who lay buried in an apple orchard twenty-seven kilometers south of Moscow.

So many idealist Russia believers think that their government is part of a unipolar alliance.

Meanwhile on a show with Vanessa Beeley , I heard that Russia is playing with Syria, allowing Israel to mess up the trade routes between Iran and Syria, so that Russia gets more of a monopoly. ( https://rokfin.com/stream/12604 )

Only a fucking idiot would trust any government that has oligarchs. I thought Putin was going to limit their power, but it seems only China is kind of doing that.

What is a little tyranny? Russian has only been a free country for around thirty years and I am sure it won't be as bad as under Stalin. Here in America we too are being disabused of the notion that we live in a free country and many are loving it. You will be slaves and you will love it.

I am sure they just updated the Katyn manual for mass burials to reflect the use of modern machinery.

Well, it's not like they can just snap their fingers like Thanos did!

It's almost like TPTB have decided there will be a mass-causality event one way or another. If it's not the vaxx, then war will do...

Come to think of it, the Soviet Union had similar massive evacuation plans. Of course they were unrealistic, as no one would have walked calmly in a column out of a city if they expected an imminent nuclear attack.

From a CIA analysis:

18. Soviet writings state that the order to evacuate cities would be given during the "special period"--a period of high tension and increased risk of war. This order would be disseminated to the public via the mass media. Individual installations would use available means to notify personnel of the time and place for staging their evacuation. Factories, offices, schools, or

bus and train stations would serve as embarkation points. According to Soviet planners, the population would have only a few hours to prepare for an evacuation following the order to do so. On their arrival at assembly points, people would board buses or trains, or would begin walking toward their previously assigned relocation areas. Those persons destined for remote areas would be evacuated first to intermediate points, where they would rest and be fed

by local authorities. There is no evidence that evacuation exercises in large cities involving the actual movement of people have been practiced. There is evidence of small-scale evacuations and numerous exercises primarily involving civil defense staffs.

19. Theoretical studies indicate a range of times necessary to accomplish evacuation, depending primarily on the availability of transportation. For evacuation employing motorized transport-buses, trucks, trains, and cars-one to four days would be required for the last group of evacuees to reach their relocation area. If the evacuation were carried out on foot, a week or more would be required to evacuate the larger cities. Using a combination of motorized and foot transport would reduce the required time to less than a week. Unusually severe weather could slow the pace of evacuation and affect a local decision to evacuate. On an average, two or three days would probably be required to evacuate the major portion of the Soviet urban population.

But, but...I thought FEMA camps and total control are only the figment of Alex Jones' imagination!
