After a childhood of being told Russians are the evil spawn of Satan, by age eleven it occured to me that Russians are a nation of mums and dads and kids, just like us, so how does it make sense to say they are all evil. I said as much the priests and religious brothers who taught us and I am pretty sure they considered exorcism. Later, as I realised the Vietnamese also were not evil and were only trying to expel colonial invaders, I began to see the USSR in a positive light, providing assistance to the oppressed. Since then, I have regarded Russia as one of the few positive entities around the world, and Putin as that rarity, a good leader. Now, I am begining to realise that Russia is the same collection of overburdened citizens suffering from the ignorance, stupidity, greed, and dishonesty of politicians and bureaucrats that afflicts the people of every nation. Clearly, representationalism of any brand simply does not work. Abraham Lincoln nailed it with "Government of the people, by the people and for the people". Thomas Paine compresed this with "All authority resides in the people". It's time to eliminate the parasitical middle man and launch government by community consensus at every level.. Hierarchies and corruption go hand in hand.

the Russian "Sanitary Shields" project is emblematic. https://forumspb.com/en/programme/business-programme/97156/

I 'm not sure about the role of Mr. Wu chief of Chinese CDC.

You are really right, when you say in yesterday's post that west and east Alt media do not interacte. Dissident groups from West and east live in a compartmentalized propaganda context. And this the only reason why western pubblic opinion, and west no green-pass groups continue to misunderstood Putin. I m so tired about Vigano Alex Jones, Qannon, Z, and all the alphabet of propaganda
