Lmao! I’m thrilled you answered my question…shows you how exciting life in Canadastan is. I’ll be furtively forwarding your stacks to the daughter in question leading her to the obvious conundrum “who is this Edward Slavsquat and does his Avatar truly represent him?”

I offer two observations from two of the questions here.

1. Re: Russia and the Jews. Riley, you missed an incredibly fanscinating connection between Herr Putler and that most fastidious of Jewish sects, Chabad Lubavitch. Putting both of them together in the same sentence should supply enough hints for a deep dive on the somewhat narrowed topic, of which the photography alone stretches back to Putin's own KGB days, e.g. http://redefininggod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/putyjewpic.png

2. Re: Belarus. One insider of that country tells a far different tale of recent shennanigans there, esp. the 2021 'election'. He might be worth interviewing for more insight on Lukashenko's endemic cronyism. Like Western views on Russia, which you do well go correct, Western alt-media on Belarus is likewise brutally biased with glowing anti-WEF praise and little insider perspective, something that Evgeny's 47 minute video helps to balance.

Cheers! (I get paid today and hope to upgrade my sub tomorrow because you're the funniest blog I read.)

Oh, my giddy aunt!!! I laughed and laughed throughout this post. Thank you SO much, Riley, for a much-needed injection of humour. The type of injection I thoroughly support as safe and effective, excepting possibly for those who are nursing inguinal hernias. You have a deliciously wry and mischievous wit. I couldn't not subscribe after this - but please be forewarned that I have to ration my subscriptions and dot around between my favourites. The unfortunate result of NOT being an oligarch and instead being a wage-slave in an imploding electricity-strapped economy who may well need to weigh up the idea of decamping to the countryside to raise goats and cabbages soon.

Jim's comment about reading the Gulag Archipelago cracked me up big time.

The dancing clip was sheer, untrammelled joy.

I was even able to laugh at myself and temporarily make fun of my vax-damaged synapses after staring at my spelling of "rye and mischievous wit" for about five minutes, and knowing that something was terribly wrong without being able to fathom why. 😂

Your stack rates up there with the likes of El Gato and Eugyppius. Keep at it.

As a supplement and more in-depth psychological portriture of Russian « enigmatic » character, I strongly recommend Dead Souls together with Revisor by Nick Gogol, where the reader can find that for example, the registration routine of tourists and other travelling individuals has a long literary tradition: « Pavel Ivanovitch Chichikov- Landowner- Travelling on Private Affairs » , a missive given to a waiter, for communication to the police. Et cetera, et cetera.

"The food was fine, although nothing remarkable. The peacock was the clincher."

What a perfect way to describe the so-called politically Independent YouTube channels "consumed" by both the Left and Right.

Btw, I understand Western Chinese restaurants have a "secret menu" with healthier "authentic" Chinese food. But I must warn you that I found out about this listening to an anti-China YouTube channel controlled by Western propagandists, so it might or might not be true. However, next time you're at a restaurant and if you feel especially daring, give back the Western menu and ask for the "other bill of fare."

That being said, when you realize YouTube is owned by Google and that's basically a NSA operation then you start to wonder why is only certain channels banned or demonetized. For example, during the height of the scamdemic physcians, virologists, or research scientists were banned for questioning the vaxx or any of the nonsensical protocol. However, propaganda channels with Westerners living in China or in other countries were allowed to sing the glories of China's authoritarian approach to obliterating a virus. And still today, the same propagandists are offering China's biosecurity technocracy as an alternative to disaffected Westerners just like other Western so-called independent channels hold Russia, China, and multipolarism as an answer to Global Empire.

So if Western techno/fascists control YouTube why did they eliminate legitimate scientists opposing the official COVID narrative, but allowed Western propagandists to sing the praises of authoritarianism.

Is it because the other colorful mainstream media "peacock channel" can't rope them all in and YouTube is needed to mop up the messy pieces which aren't being sufficiently controlled by traditional bullshit.

So to put it simply, there's lot of "other menu's," however all the offerings lack nutrition and trigger the runs.

Russia don't need no UFO madness when there's SMO madness with airborne cooties and getting away with it, with the accompanying mass sacrifice of living creatures, more inflation, and the wonderful prospect of more home imprisonment and economic precarity to save everyone and their grandma from the cooties and "climate change" always looming large in the horizon.

The "war on Ukronazis/coronavirus/terror" unfolds as a murder on the dance floor contest to keep taxcattle patriotically paying in blood and treasure for continued East-West business in the times of "digital transformation and sustainable development goals".

Lastly, a bit of Lukashenko and his "opposition of the WEF" and such:

"18 APRIL 2023

Not quite looking like we've got any friends in positions of power anywhere.

I had an idea for work for you in Russia .... there are a network of alternative schools that loosely follow the Telos model ( Ringing Cedars of Russia inspired schools) and almost all of them celebrate traditional Russian/Slavic dancing. You could apply to teach the Slavic Squat dancing (!!). Search YouTube for Anastasia/Ringing Cedars schools in Russia. There are many of them. They are wonderful schools for kids. And they are hiring (!!)

Thanks a lot for this, Riley. Particularly good to hear that you may be heading back to Russia in the Fall (i bet you miss a lot of stuff you haven't had access to for a year), and the excellent answer you provided to what for lack of better terminology term "the Jewish question." Lots of people in this discussion forum have tried to make the global operation be entirely about "Jews." People forget that much of the most outspoken opposition to the Israel/Zionist Lobby (a far more accurate description than "Jewish Lobby") has come from people of Jewish background.

Just a very small comment, not addressing the staggering bulk of the post:

Veronica Skvortsova is Jewish. That bit of info is not always immediately obvious or known.

all of us currently alive can choose,

to continue to dance and sing amongst the madness,

to continue the fight to claim our individual rights,

to play our parts in the long struggle between war and civilization,

or the death cult vs Life..

Riley, thank you so much for your intelligence, humour, and common sense :)

Would "liqueur" be the right English word for Russian "настойка" and"наливка"?

Russia is a pretty good place to live if getting an outside income like with an online job or retirement. Water, petrol, gas, and food is very cheap. There is lots of waterfront property with palm trees. Low crime.

Don’t want to spam your chat section, here’s the video from Jean-Pierre Petit (French astrophysicist, he’s been working for 40 years now on MHD). Because, you know, Russian-military- is-a-junk mantra is a blatant psyop. https://youtu.be/Jn8b3E9oUHY
