<<Yes, we already know what you’re thinking.
“The Bank of Russia is a counter-gang psyop.”
Okay, but Putin endorsed Elvira Nabiullina for another five-year term so………….?>>
Those who observed Russian politics for a long time, like I did, know that Putin has never appointed a non-liberal to a position in the financial/economic government block. Even the ever prominent academician Sergey Glaz'yev that has advocated economic sovereignty for Russia for the past two decades was only appointed as a general advisor to president Putin, not an economic one. He since was moved to a position in the EurAsian Economic Union (EAEU) overseeing integration processes there. People that know how things are done in Russia know perfectly well that finance and economic ministers have ignored Putin's direct orders like "May's Edicts" (Майские Указы) two times in a row in 2012 and 2018 with no consequences for themselves. All this independence of financiers and other shakers and movers of Russian economy stems from the arrangement that brought back in 1998 at the time "unknown dark horse" called Vladimir Putin to the top power in Russia. He and his group called "Siloviki" (Sila translates as Power) were given armed forces, the law enforcement agencies, the foreign policy and the patriotic facade for the people, but he was strictly forbidden from interfering in the core economic and financial decisions. And Vladimir Vladimirovich is adhering to these rules until now, as we can see from his reappointment of the criminally guilty according to Russian laws Elvira Nabiullina as a head of the Russian CB. However what the start of this special military operation did, it turned the table, where instead of Putin fighting the fifth economic column inside of Russia, this is now done by the West itself! Just as one example, the most pro-Western and integrated into the Western economy and even civilization are Russian oligarchs. They spent decades benefiting from Russian resources and taking their money (cumulatively 2.5 trillion dollars), their families, their interests and their hearts to the West. Yet, who was made the biggest scapegoat in this fallout between Russia and the West? West's most ardent supporters in Russia, Russian oligarchs and even people of lesser means that have chosen to connect their lives with the West but made a stupid mistake of keeping their Russian passports! So overall it looks like the "special military operation" wasn't as dumb of a move as I personally thought it was at the beginning. On one hand Putin played into the hands of the globalist elites and his old buddy Klaus Schwab, accelerating the coming of economic crisis of unheard of proportions, but on the other hand he delivered as strong of a blow as he could to the fifth column inside the country, the move that he is banned from doing directly by the 23 year old power sharing agreement. This push toward sovereignty against the wishes of many, but by far not all, of Russian elites gives Russia a fighting chance to survive and find its place in the coming NWO. To evaluate actions of Putin we have to go back to a Russian philosopher Alexander Dugin that once written: "Putin is like a twilight star - he gives a glimmer of hope and then he goes dark again. With Putin no one really knows, is his glass half empty or is it half full", I quoted Dugin by memory, but pretty close to the meaning.

I get this narrative all the time on FB from Putin groupies and others who are merely grasping at any straws they can reach: Putin is dealing with all sorts of globalist infiltrators, and will eliminate them one by one. Yeah, by appointing and re-appointing them, he is eliminating them. :-) This is how intellectually bereft and desperate many of those in the "resistance" in the West have become. Thanks for helping to tune up reality with..... FACTS, Riley!
War abroad is almost always a pretext to militarize society at home, like sanctions’ dual-edged sword. Modern military doctrine sees civilians as a threat and voters as domestic terrorists.
Russia controls 1/5 of #Ukraine, Zelenskiy admits; and it’s the best bit of the country. Moscow threatens to attack “decision-making centres” if Kyiv strikes Russian land.
Inflation is much worse in USA/EU than in Russia/Belarus. Proof> Gasoline/petrol has risen from 1.99 Belarusian rubles in Dec 2021 to 2.25 Belarusian rubles per liter now in June 4, 2022. Exchange rate is 1 dollar is worth Belarusian 2.61 rubles and 1 euro is worth 2.78 rubles. So a gasoline liter is LESS than 1 euro in Belarus when the EU has to pay MORE than 2 euros and USA has to pay around 5 dollars. Bottom line> EU and USA citizens have to pay MORE than double than Russian/Belarusians citizens. Just wait until this winter when USA/EU citizens have to heat their homes. In winter, I will be warm and cozy in Belarus with a monthly natural gas bill equivalent to ONLY 50 dollars.
Keep in mind USA is #1 oil and natural gas and gasoline producer in the world so USA is MUCH MORE cheating their citizens with inflation. Times are tough in EVERY country MOSTLY because of poison injections and QR code digital ID and erosion of freedom.
I am too old to believe in good-guy leaders. However, I do see close to 200 idiots posing as super-patriots while Putin makes moves on the global chessboard look like child's play.
So. although Putin has an agenda that I cannot hope to glimpse, his walloping of western arses, perticularly that of Biden and Blinken, puts a smile on my suntanned Aussie face. Ruskis, please tolerate a bit of inflation for a while longer, at least until you have crushed the US economy, frozen a million or so French and German arses this coming winter, and forced the US to withdraw their military and media from my homeland.
Then I suggest you look at your central bank and identify the ownership by the Bank for International Settlements, in Basel Switzerland, exactly as it owns every other central bank in the world except Cuba's.
I should like to note here, said Bosco adopting a pretentious Anglophilic accent, that the idea that any government is in significant control of its economy these days is a difficult case to prove by me. A global economy is irrevocably collapsing with both the help and hindrance of all parties involved, who don't seem able to tell a good move from a bad move both for themselves or their loyal oppositions both abroad and within.
will naturally lean toward the polity with the most of the most necessary resources and the military power to defend it from foreign polities.
Clot-shots notwithstanding, nor the whirlwind of rubles and dollars and yen etc., Edvard has picked the best polity in which to reside during such times. Certainly beats SoCal.
EXCELLENT INSIGHT . . . in the end, all currency is a confidence game. I had wondered, at the time, where all this gold for the gold-backed ruble was located (thanks to your intrepid work exposing the repatriation of Russian bullion starting in March 2020). Comparing pretty much any currency to the U.S. dollar or Euro is like comparing the value of toilet paper to that of stiff sheets with Illuminati symbols in ink, respectively . . . one of which has a practical value, at the very least, and the other of which is likely to give you painful paper cuts if you try to use it to clean yourself after toileting.
The bottom line is that the current geopolitical psychology favors the ruble and rejects the USD & EURO . . . this is good news for us plebes working to cast off the slave system, backed by those Western currencies, regardless of the corruption at work inside the Russian government (though that must continue to be exposed as it as much a threat to the Russian people as it is to the rest of the world).
In the long sustainable run, all that matters is a currency's domestic strength. Reliance on foreign polities to a) provide goods for domestic consumption or b) provide markets for domestic export, is an inherently unstable reliance doomed to, well, insane crap like we witness these days.
Because most of you are curious about what is going on in Little Russia, Donbass, Ukraine, I give you a link to a very interesting blog by a French who has been fighting for years as a sniper with the DPR.
He is, according to me, a very good human being and while fighting and reporting from the ground is very, very critical of armchair propagandist for Russia and their lies. It is therefore different from the very courageous Christelle Néant of Donbass Insider who is far less critical but nevertheless interesting as an active member of the DPR as a journalist: https://www.donbass-insider.com/fr/accueil/
This is how Erwan Castel introduces himself in his 'who I am' section:
"56 years old, "Breton, polytheist and European", successively French paratrooper officer, Breton independence activist and then expedition guide in the French Amazon, I decided to join the Donbass rebellion opposing the military operation launched against its Russian population in 2014 by the Maidan putschists
Enlisted in early February 2015 in the army of the Donetsk People's Republic, I served on the fronts of Debalsevo, Marinka, Dokuchaievsk, Donetsk before becoming a volunteer in 2017 in the International Brigade Piatnashka and serving on the front of Yasinovataya as a sniper.
Opposed to any form of unique thought (religious, economic, cultural or political) and fighting against the commodification of the living committed by an amoral and criminal globalist plutocracy, I inscribe my principles and my acts in the ideal of a "conservative revolution" defending the freedom of peoples to dispose of themselves and an ascending subsidiarity of native identities building a multipolar world."
Good reading, worth adding to your list of sources.
Isn't this precisely what China tried to do starting a few years back when the CCP stated it would "fix" the value of the yuan regardless of what capitalist dogs in international currency exchanges said it was worth?

Interesting article from a French Russian scholar living in Russia whom I have already mentioned. She deals with the FanID thing. It can be translated directly on the site:http://russiepolitics.blogspot.com/2022/06/fan-id-de-la-russie-au-stade-de-france.html#more
