In Russia, the unspoken rule used to be that you could speak more or less freely, (you wouldn't even be cancelled like in the US) but you had to keep away from politics.
Strelkov's arrest seems to have broken this unspoken rule. Now we are in uncharted territory. What are we allowed to say or not say anymore? What is the line that we cannot cross? No one knows.
That's an unspoken rule of every organised government on earth since their purpose is ever singular: managing taxcattle for fleecing in peacetime or slaughter in plandemics and "patriotc" endeavors like the Ukraine "war".
The West used to allow its taxcattle a high quality of life, but that's going to shit with the rest as we move on to "multipolarity".
Rolo, as promised, I got my salary the 12th so maybe the 13th you will have my suscription. Not because you have a 170 IQ, but because you are a person of morality and common sense.
Patriots of the world unite!
As to the African junta in Mali, Burkina-Faso, Niger, they are sincere but mislead.
Rolo, in your estimation, what are the chances that the Russian Military itself will at some point simply snap, being sick and tired of Putin's treachery, arrest him and his cabinet, and take over the country, i.e. liberate it?
P.S. You mentioned at least once that Kremlin is afraid of the Military. Will you write an article digging deeper into that with some breakdowns of patriots there?

My cause is the TRUTH. If you consider women in general, the reason for men's mistakes, and putin as some kind of temporary tactical ally of the Russian people or even humanity, then you are what you said i say.

It's really a pity, IMO I believe it would even be a good business decision and you wouldn't lose paid subscribers if you opened your blog to non subs, like a good street artist don't lose money by showing his art to everyone, as uncle joe once said " Quantity has a quality of its own'. Spread the seed...
I'm open minded, but i believe ukrainian women pushing their men to die at the front, to be free to get lovers in the West sounds like some crazy 5D theory of yours, as you suggested in some recent podcast in your blog with the Moldovian guy i think.
Even with that said, i really believe you have one of the most intelligent analysis of Russian/kremlin affairs.
But "son", as I said before, I will forgive all your sins when you and Riley convince Marko to join you both and bring back the Worst Of All Worlds and turn it into the best podcast of the web as it once was.
Putin's Uki partners strike again [1]. Here's another one [2] - some Russian tanker. And another one [3] - Moscow airport. They are really poking the bear with no consideration what patriots will do to Putin once they get a hold of him!
Meanwhile, the Kremlin has made sure to involve the oligarchs in the war effort so they can make a buck or two:
How Russian Billionaires Provide Mercenaries to the Russian Army
Oleg Deripaska, Leonid Mikhelson, Gennady Timchenko, and other businessmen recruit volunteers for the war on salaries. In the meantime, their businesses, which is involved in this — Rusal, Novatek, PIK, Mospromstroy — successfully avoid sanctions
"Strelkov—who demanded Prigozhin’s arrest after Wagner’s “March on Moscow”—is behind bars for classified reasons, while Prigozhin is a free man, and is even allowed to hang out with powerful Africans in St. Petersburg, even after his private army shot Russian pilots out of the sky."
Is that like asking why a government ruled by mobsters despise and fear patriots.🤔
Perhaps, gangsters are terrified by those who can't be compromised and refuse to accept political corruption.
Maybe, that's why Strelkov is incarcerated just like those who were setup on 1/6 by the FBI and are still rotting in jail. They like "all" other political prisoners are held captive because they pose a threat to the status quo.

Not knowing Russian, I can only go by their description, but what's not clear is if it is limited only to internet services or hosting providers in Russia or if it also places the same government ID demands on foreign providers--at least those not banned--and if the same ID demands apply to foreign users of Russian online services--I suppose it might have to since there's no way to know a user's origin until they provide real world IDs.
p.s. little known fact that some US states have already passed (and others have proposed) the same laws for digital/online-government IDs for online services (under the guise of age-verification) and likewise several US bills are underway at the federal level mandating the same exact government IDs for public online communications (and worse like breaking encryption or backdoors for encrypted messaging)
Yes, it looks and feels like Communism. But but, they said that when Berlin wall fell communism went away as well!? Because Communism got tired of raping and killing as Communism and wanted to rape and kill as a Democracy?
Do you remember Velvet Revolution in 1989, change of power from socialism to whatever it is today? Czechia, Prague, Wenceslas square, students protesting for days leading to a non-violent change....Stories.
I heard from people who were young police officers back then (and who also gave official testimonies) that they saw secret service all over these protests, in all surrounding buildings basically running the protests, organizing students. Naive, malleable students were used before - just like they are used now for progressivism & green madness. Old system was about to collapse, so they collapsed it, but made sure they kept the power. Just like now debt based system is collapsing - and they are implementing digital "remake".
btw. Edward, if you are reading this, still resting your weary elbows in Czechia - ask Cecilie if she heard about Vaclav Havel being gay. That's how they controlled him. Poor sod spent some time in jail..
Most commentators on other Russia related western blogs think that Russia is going to save the world. NOBODY IS GOING TO SAVE THE WORLD.
USA is the most destructive, degenerate, evil, insane country in the history of the world. It is is run by SUPER-PSYCHOPATHS. Russia is merely a mafia country run by corrupt thugs.
Russia controls its citizens by telling them what to do. USA controls its citizens by telling them what they are. Much more sophisticated.
You can apparently criticize the Russian government as long as you also lead an armed insurgency against it, but not otherwise. Because you are then deemed weak?!!
As I see on russian telegram channels - everything Russia does in Ukraine is a masterclass 4D chess played by Putin. If You write something contradictory to this cult, You are banned and called a traitor. So does Strielkov - he will be prosecuted for "treason" and banned (put into jail).
This is going to wake up many nationalists in the west and inside Russia. Putin is bending over for African warlords and pandering to Africa, and wants to use them against the evil white western colonialist nazi's. Its getting really funny now and close to clown world. Meanwhile true patriots and Strelkov get put into the Gulag, no diffrence they do in the west, its just a diffrent flavour. I cant see this war lasting much longer. If Russian patriots at the front keep hearing about this crap Putin pulls off i doubt their morale will last long.
The guys directing the juntas in Mali, Burkina-Faso and Niger are not warlords. The local oligarch (weighting far much less than in the West and Russia) don't like them but certainly would like to keep growing with Russian and chinese.
Perhaps the film "Chekist" (1992) should be remembered, especially since Strelkov is a supporter of Imperial Russia from a patriotic structure. Such as he were eliminated by Lenin's "Cheka", a squad of sadistic killer-executioners, who were not ethnically Russian. The Chekists and Lenin passionately hated the Russians and Imperial Russia, and exterminated as many Russian patriots and intellectuals as quickly as possible. Lenin was brought in from the outside and financed by the globalist structures of the time, do we see any continuity, can this also be subsumed under "classified reasons"?
Hmmm?!?!?! Is that why these same "globalist structures" mobilized their military resources and actually invaded the nascent RSFSR in 1918? And never mind the material support given to the counter-revolutionary White Armies of Admiral Kolchak, and Generals Yudenich, Deninkin, & Wrangel.
Thats why the plandemic was launched. They saw how majority of population was thoroughly brainwashed and would not have issues with being depopulated and degraded. Not only that, millions of urbanites showed who they really are and actually accepted it all and even enjoyed molesting others.
No wonder, because narcissistic psychopaths are the product of the urban setting, but that is another topic.
I believe that big cities are the root cause of suffering of humans, nature and animals. Cities should not have more than 50k population.
Don't forget Sirius that there has been the Canadian Freedom convoy, followed by the French freedom convoy and that the Russians were about to have there own and also in many other countries...
Andrei Karimov, one of my favorite Systema teacher told us that according to him, at the moment where you couldn't make a circle where everybody could see and hear one another, the game was rigged...
Freelander, do you read Graeber and Wengrow's book? All large city settlements seem to have been abandoned at some point in history.
As to the actual movement toward cities, it is less due to people gathering out of an innate impetus to gather 'en masse' than some oligarchic plans to park them. In France for instance, de-industrialisation in many provinces obliges families to move to big cities if they want to find jobs. As an aside, the area I live in now is not being de-industialized and the population doesn't have to live to big cities...Agree, we can't change what is going on, we can only be more Stoïcian than ever.
It doesn't matter who's right. The examples you gave are also relevant, especially about women and youth. I was glad last week to hear a 25 year old from the village I settled in, saying that after three years in Lyon she was now bored and wanted to live in another much smaller city as another step.
In Mali, most of the countrymen who were going to the city were people who had been literally chased from their villages because of land grabbing.
Yes, many French love the countryside and many wish to live there (even many French from maghreb).
