You have a big heart! Your observations express regret, even in your humorous passages, but I notice a good degree of hope from you. We must never despair because then we are defeated.
You know..... that Shokoladnitsa.... I had good memories of it. I went there a few times the last time I was in Moscow (which was a long time ago). Why, or why do all romantic memories of pop culture have to die?!!!! Why.
Taiwan did the same for the kids outdoor playgrounds. They even taped off the basketball and tennis courts, and just to be safe taped the hoops nets closed. I didn't dare mess with it being the only white guy in the neighborhood and with all the cameras here

What is going on in French speaking Africa? One month ago, the Togo/ex-Togoland (whose leaders have been of the same family for more than 60 years) which was given to France after WWI as a present after Germany defeat and which, until now was under it's patronage, has entered the... Commonwealth!!
It is then now under the umbrella of the City of London, the "perfid Albion" and this has been decided in the arch-psychopath Paul Kagamé's Rwanda. Before the take over of that country by School of America allumni Kagamé, that country was French Speaking, now English is the official language. I guess it will be the same in my beloved Togo (I spend almost three years there).
So much for a Russian take over of French speaking Africa...
In Mali, there are still thousands of Western soldiers, a few dozain Wagner mercenaries. How come a few hundred soldiers without high tech surveillance like the one provided by the US could be an invasion force able to defeat the Jihadists in such a vast territory? This is sadly laughable...
The French authorities chose to side with some Touaregs (very complicated subject) and the Malian Authority has never been permitted to regain political control of Kidal for ten years and the Malian population has been fed up with that reality. The very Touaregs who had tortured, killed hundred of Malian soldiers and who had associated with Aqmi and co....

I have been living there for years, one of my guest in Bamako was a local geologist, I know what I am talking about. I have talked with British geologist and knew miners... There are no uranium mine in Mali.
Right after the destruction of The Arab Jamahirya of Libya, we witnessed flocks of NATO Jihadists who tried to take control of Northern Mali coming from Libya. Touaregs women claimed to have been raped by English speaking Jihadists...
The Malian people are united behind the people in power, it is factual. The Jihadists routinely kill civilians and have been doing so for one decade. If their initial claim was in Northern Mali, they now operate in the whole territory and neighboring countries. The population is tired... The links between Russia and Mali started long time ago and Thousand of Malians studied in the USSR.
@Bugey libre: this is absolutely false. Wagner mercenaries, working closely with the Kremlin, are torturing and killing civilians in Mali (interested in uranium, gold and diamond mines).
The russians committed a false flag recently accusing the french militaries to commit a slaughter
By chance the french managed to capture scenes on video with a drone, prooving the Wagner group interfered in this false flag. In the meantime civilians in Mali continue to suffer exactions from the Malian junta and its ally the Wagner Group, and managed to close two french radios
Very good post! I totally agree with your post. I believe you have the BEST vantage point overlooking France. So nice to know that I have you to trust in the country of France. I trust you completely since you have earned my trust. Thank you! Merci Beaucoup! Enjoy your Sunday!
I have made a mistake which must be corrected, the Malian geologist was my Host, not my guest....
While I was still living in Bamako, I had a friend, Natasha, a Russian old lady. She had came as a veterinarian in Mali in the 1970's, married there with a Malian. They had two children who can speak fluent French, Russian and local languages and who had decided to live in Bamako while knowing Russia. When Natasha died, the funeral service was held in the Catholic Church in Bamako because there are no Orthodox churches there and there had been thousand of people paying homage to that great lover of Mali.
There are other Russian/Malian people and one of them even was a minister of economy at one time.
Meanwhile in France: The 13 of July, micron was saved by his body guard when a crowd recognized him and was shouting Gilet jaune's anthem and "Macron démission". The 14 th of July parade was held. micron has been boohd all along... Unprecedented. Like my best friend who is a gendarme said, this is very serious when the military are to witness such a situation:
Bugey libre Merci Beaucoup! I admire Bugey libre's intelligence and leadership by example and strength in France. Bugey libre's peaceful noncompliance and refusal of injections proves we can unite under common ground.
"French President Emmanuel Macron suffered a humiliating setback in parliament after his vaccine passport scheme was defeated. Macron’s minority government wanted to extend the policy whereby anyone entering France has to show proof of vaccination or a negative Covid test. However, the right-wing populist National Rally (RN), the hard-left La France Insoumise (LFI) and the right-wing Republicains (LR) ALL UNITED to vote AGAINST the policy."
Macron’s government lost the vote by a margin of 219 votes to 195.
Thursday - relaxation talking to Russians (in English since I am a lazy American). (The French may think that Americans are arrogant (very true in most cases) however when learning languages Americans are more apt to be lazy.
Friday - Walking down the the main walking shopping district to buy souvenirs and being lazy at cafes watching people.
Saturday - All day in Red Square taking photos and talking to more Russians.. 4 hours inside the Russian historical museum in Red Square . NO masks indoors!!!
Sunday - Travel day back to Belarus.
Notes> Russians are in fact able to buy gold by the gram or physical gold bars and open a gold bank account or freely choose personal accumulation at their home! Nearly all banks now have gold exchange buy/sell rates to Russian ruble rate posted. When I was in Russia, the rate was 3820 Russian rubles to buy and if one wanted to sell gold back to the bank, then the rate was 3250 Russian rubles. If one buys gold grams, then the gold is digital. If one accumulates enough gold grams then the grams can be converted to a PHYSICAL gold bar which can be held by the banking institution or freely kept in one's personal safe place at home. The initial exchange rate was 5000 Russian rubles per gram at the very beginning of this NEW Russian gold standard policy so I think the current exchange rate is a bargain for Russians to protect against Russian inflation. My source was a bank manager that spoke English.
Thanks for the info about what you saw and learned in Russia. As to France my friend... Micron has a 12% approval rate, the economic situation is catastrophic. The society is on the brink of collapsing... I will give more info in the coming weeks.
And in the meantime, while the Ugly and villain western civilization is hopefully "suicided" with a little help of destiny, the Holy Russia and its Wagner Group explains civilization to Malian Civilians and offers consulting services to Malians for a better management of their gold, diamond and uranium mines:
With some gentle false flag murders to accuse french militaries of atrocities against civilians...(today we won't talk about the tortures perpetrated against civilians ..they are only black people pretending to suffer tortures from caucasian soldiers speaking a foreign language). NB: official language in Mali is french ..
I'm really eager to live under Putin's protectorate!
I may or may not have committed copycat crimes in Queens, NY playgrounds involving chains and padlocks at night in certain suburbs prior to my departure from the state.
Ironically, wearing a face covering as there were cameras and "white female" would have stood out.

Thank you so much for this blog, Riley. It is as if it was personally addressed to me.
One of the first things I did in the early days of the covid scam was to look at how the related policies in Russia were, and I got quite disapponted to see them no different from anywhere else. Being the fraud so obvious and the aims so evident, I had somehow assumed Russia of all countries would not go along the West-led line of restrictions, lockdowns and "health" measures. But it turned out it did. Presumedly an anti-globalist government -I had said to myself- lead by no fools, the Kremlin will surely laugh at the western paranoia and opt for sparing its population all the absolutely unnecessary pain the rest of the world was being submitted to by each and every of their leaders. But how wrong I was! Russia not only complied with all of the WHO "recommendations", but in some aspects doubled down on stupidity and autoritarianism, keeping -for instance- the country's borders shut for foreign tourists much longer than many other nations.
Up until now, such policies have remained a paradox to me for the last three years; the more so when I see -same as I think you do- the not so obvious connection between the Global Agenda, the covid swindle and the war in Ukraine. "If Moscow is on the path of bringing to its people the same safe, sustainable, digital and brave new world the WEF advocates for, whom and what, then, is Moscow fighting against on the Donbass?", I asked to myself. Surely not any de-nazification, which I did not buy for a single minute. And no matter how many Russian citizens I have personally addressed to for insight into this sort of questions, so far they have remained unanswered. Same among the most westernised and "progressive", protiv-Putin Russians as among his staunchest supporters, I found no echo to my puzzlement: nobody seemed to see any contradiction between engaging in a war against the Collective West and striving to achieve the same neurotic social model that very West promotes, and most of the people I wrote to regarded the autocratic, alienating and freedom-killing covid rules implemented in Russia a "minor issue", a negligible "fiasco", something V. V. Putin had endorsed out of love for his people or, in the best case, at the behest of ill-meant advisors and West-subservient oligarchs, but he really didn't mean to.
Those rules, however, have been for me since 2020 the piece that did not fit in the overall idea I had of Russia and its leader, seeding in me the suspicion that something smelled rotten south of Denmark, and that the likes of me (gullible "pro-Russians") are being deluded by a nice-looking anti-globalist speech.
I came to your blog after listening to you in some video out there, and thanks God I did. Here I have found not only an answer to the "covid enigma" that had me befuddled, but also a lot of information (like the CBDCs or the "sustainability" program) pointing to the true path the Russian rulers are on. "Do not listen to what they say, but rather look at what they do".
Vax pass: get drafted, die for your country because it's the Right Thing to Do. Chopping off your balls for a yuppie gig with perqs is nothing next to getting them pureed through your chest cavity via landmine.
Yeah, we're a gullible lot.
"We have to stop this dangerous spiral into Sadness, guys. Think of the ancient eunuchs."
Amen. Ball-less or not, let us enshrill our ways to higher and gladder spheres!
"...it would have been cool if a glider full of heavily armed Spetsnaz landed on Igor Kolomoisky’s roof as part of a dashing operation to handcuff Ukraine’s most prominent scumbags".
Taking words right out of my mouth, I've been saying it from the first day of the "special operation". It would have been a very logical thing to do, and I know I wouldn't be much upset.
On a positive note, this post sounds like a great beginning of that book you promised to write and send to me :)
I'm doing okay, trying to focus on little joys of life :) and you are so right about hoping for the best and preparing for the worst. Ukrainians have been told to brace themselves for the most difficult winter in the independence period. Have a look https://www.pravda.com.ua/eng/news/2022/06/8/7351154/
The temperature in our rooms may only reach 16 °C, I mean places with central heating.
You obviously have much better local intel, but I don't think any of your prognostications are out there. You could, of course, be wrong (as you said), but I'd put my money on your predicted outcomes at this point.
My main concern as an American living in America is whether Brandon takes us down this road too. And at this point, I honestly can't guess. One of the fascinating things about having a graphically incompetent executive branch is the fog of war is incredibly thick: from the outside, you have absolutely no idea how bad things really are.
I have mixed feelings on Putins invasion. It seems clear War was inevitable and he saw nothing to gain by waiting. OTOH, unless he takes all territory along Russias border with Ukraine to the Dnepier River and the coast to Moldova then Russia will be even more insecure and will face another Afghanistan
Rt demonstrated its inconsistencies all throughout the years, in the storyboard Holy Russia Vs. the Ugly and Disgusting West.
Funny to consider that both MSM and Alternative european medias released info or denounced the censorship of RT and Sputnik (to victimize Russia and these two media) but NONE OF Western media talks about the current closure of two french radios that denounced the crimes and murders of the Wagner group in Mali doing their dirty business while the war is raging in Ukraine
The false dichotomy West East justifies rivers of blood.
Don't let them rape your brain and impose their views because there is nothing more demoniac and cynical than leading people to applause for wars. On Tv and internet, our screens are 99% occupied with warmongers, whatever in which camp they are, but they legitimate a war which must not be legitimate. These warmongers are dangerous and should be neutralized, whatever the way.
And while blood flows, G7 and russian political leaders are getting fun playing their respective part in front of cameras, on a cynical theater scene. War is deeply vulgar and obscene.
Thank you for this brilliant piece. As an aside, one of the things I appreciated most about Russia was this observation: "Despite the stubborn March cold, heroic young ladies in the Russian capital have already shortened (one might say improved) their skirts by at least 15 centimeters." That seems to be a pan-Russian theme as I observed in Novosibirsk.
You have a big heart! Your observations express regret, even in your humorous passages, but I notice a good degree of hope from you. We must never despair because then we are defeated.
"We must never despair because then we are defeated." -- agreed.
