As Tucker Carlson talks about feeling “radicalized against western leadership,” I find myself rolling my eyes and saying, “welcome to the party pal.” But seriously, it’s good to see him awakening more people.
When I began talking about the western created propaganda in 2023 people had a difficult time understanding it. {GO DEEP} As I began researching and explaining the futility and fraud of the Western sanctions against Russia, the confusion expanded. {GO DEEP}
Nothing makes sense until you realize we are being lied to by every element of Western review, government, media, corporations, academia, financial punditry, the works… all of their claims are based on lies and false information.
Tucker Carlson visits a grocery store in Russia {Direct Rumble Link} and immediately starts to get red-pilled on the truth. WATCH:
Keep in mind that Carlson is only looking at the ‘goods’ side of the ledger. On the ‘service’ side, the disparity in pricing is beyond jaw-dropping. {Example: A 30-mile cab ride for $5}.
From a production side perspective, Russia actually has a larger economy now than Germany, the largest EU nation. The cause for this is “autarchy” or self-sufficiency. Indeed, as the timeline of the sanctions completes the second full year, the Russian production economy is even stronger than when the sanctions began. Quite simply, they are making even more of their own goods now.
The sanctions typically fall into the service side of the economy, as well as financial and economic roadblocks. However, that aspect of the Russian economy was much smaller than most suspected and there were sanctions going back to 2014 which made the outcome of the 2022 western imposed restrictions far less impactful.
I’m very serious when I share with people that almost everything we understand about the geopolitical purposes and impacts of sanctions against Russian economic interests is entirely fabricated. However, because the scale of the propaganda against us is so effective, breaking the mental/cognitive barrier is almost impossible.
It’s not that situations are ‘shaped’ or information is ‘manipulated,’ as in the definition of the term “disinformation.” But rather the entire construct of reality regarding the economic issues -as presented- is fabricated, created by massive financial interests, and flat-out lies; I mean, total unadulterated nonsense. Complete fiction.
This article from Reuters, and the accompanying graphic from ZeroHedge, only scratches the surface.
[SOURCE]
We are through the looking glass folks. Literally captive to the narrative as sold by our Western government officials, and there’s a huge one-way mirror; beyond which, massive segments of the grey zone are looking at us as if we are pathetic victims of professional propaganda.
The worst part of this dynamic is how the USA looks insufferably weak, because we are playing this massive game of pretending that only the Yellow Zone is participating in.
MOSCOW, Dec 27 (Reuters) – Almost all of Russia’s oil exports this year have been shipped to China and India, Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said on Wednesday, after Moscow responded to Western economic sanctions by quickly rerouting supplies away from Europe.
Russia has successfully circumvented sanctions on its oil and diverted flows from Europe to China and India, which together accounted for around 90% of its crude exports, Novak, who is in charge of the country’s energy sector, told Rossiya-24 state TV.
He said that Russia had already started to forge ties with Asia-Pacific countries before the West introduced sanctions against Moscow following the start of the conflict in Ukraine in February 2022.
“As for those restrictions and embargoes on supplies to Europe and the U.S. that were introduced… this only accelerated the process of reorienting our energy flows,” Novak said.
He said that Europe’s share of Russia’s crude exports has fallen to only about 4-5% from about 40-45%. (read more)
What Alexander Novak shares is stunningly accurate, only the ramifications are far more serious. This is why I am spending so much time trying to break the issue down into digestible portions.
Russia and Iran are now trading oil (and other things) in their own national currencies, not the petrodollar. This is the epicenter of a process initially triggered by the BRICS economic alliance and is now taking place in real time while the proverbial WEST pretends it is not happening. Now, it might sound esoteric, as if it is a disconnected or academic issue that doesn’t have real substantive ramifications, but that’s not true.
I can literally see how global trade is now cost-shifting as the dollar starts to weaken (become less used) as a trade currency. Again, like our domestic social issues, this de-dollarization process is “slowly at first,” but eventually this is going to come all at once.
As USA consumers we cannot see it yet, because we are inside an economic system that is entirely dependent on dollars. However, as the devaluation of the dollar continues slowly to happen, outside our dollar-based economy, the cost of goods, products and stuff in the ordinary life of people within the GREY ZONE is now stunningly less. It’s not showing up in currency markets (dollar -vs- fill_in_blank), because the currency trades are not part of the trade/cost dynamic outside the YELLOW ZONE.
Go into the grey zone and compare the price of “product X” to what you would pay in the United States for “product X”, and you will see the difference in the end consumer price is starting to widen faster. Identical goods in the USA cost much more than goods outside the “west.”
As the de-dollarization continues (mostly driven by the lessening of oil sold using the petrodollar), the disparity in price will get even more stark. As a result of this dynamic, wages in the USA (or the “west”) must necessarily rise faster; however, that’s only part of the issue.
If I took $200 into a Russian supermarket, buying only consumable food products, I would end up with about 3 shopping carts full of food. Take that same $200 into the average USA supermarket and you get one shopping cart or less. This is the scale of what is likely to happen in durable goods. The “cleaving” is underway.
Let me say that again, the “cleaving” of dollar-based price/value is underway.
Starbucks pulled out of Russia. The building still exists, the furniture still there, the equipment still there, just a different name, “Star Coffee” lolol. Starbucks is roughly $6 for whatever, the StarCoffee is $1. Same stuff. A cab/uber ride in USA might be $25, or in EU might be €30, but outside the yellow zone around $6 to $10/max. It’s getting crazy how big the difference is.
Now, the price disparity is not in everything, only in the products that do not originate from inside the yellow zone. The increased price of the yellow zone goods transfers into the grey zone when the product is moved. However, if the yellow zone and grey zone both produce an identical product (or service), that’s when you see the massive difference in price. [And no, this is not a lower cost labor issue]
Conversely, prices of goods originating from the grey zone shipped to the yellow zone will be far less than the comparable product created from within the yellow zone.
What is going to happen?
I suspect we are going to import even more products from the grey zone at a greater rate, because there’s a lower origination price and greater opportunity for profit. Wait and see.
China needs energy, Russia needs computer chips and tech. They are trading thusly. Now watch… if the sanctions are ever lifted, we will start importing Russian made electronic goods, because less expensive. It’s nuts.
Remember, our ‘western’ government is doing this to us on purpose.
The price of a taxi ride of 30 miles in Moscow, Russia, is stated in this story to be $5 equivalent.
Five months ago, I had to fly from Seattle WA to Amarillo TX. The cost of a taxi from the Amarillo airport to downtown Amarillo was almost $30 EACH WAY. That was almost $60, to and from the small airport, in a relatively small city in America.
We have allowed the middle class in the USA to be hollowed out and without a robust middle class, America is surely headed for complete ruin.
This IS the Plan.
BHO’s plan was not to “eliminate millionaires” as was widely speculated, but rather, to “make everyone a millionaire” through hyper-inflation and the hollowing out of the middle class (for social justice). Everyone becomes “equal” (i.e. a millionaire), except for the billionaires like him and the other oligarchs. That is why you see welfare recipients, when the sum total of their benefits is added up, having effective disposable income or benefits very nearly $100,000 equivalent (if you factor freebies, no income taxes, and stipends).
Yes, eliminate those things inherent to America, that stand as a bulwark against Conmunism.
Constitution, Rule of Law, Representative Democracy, and a strong, vibrant middle class.
With exfiltration of wealth, they exported middle class jobs and LIFESTYLES, and the initial importation of illegals they brought in replacement labor, but at this point they are importing the poor, to ‘swamp’ the system.
Because a strong vibrant and expanding middle class is a roadblock to Conmunism, a large poor class, an army FOR Conmunism.
Look at Venezuela, and the army of red shirts, raised up by Chavez.
this is why we are required to stay in our very own 15 minute city
We are not required, they have made it too inconvenient and expensive to travel further than our boundaries, grocery stores, gas stations, pharmacies, Chinese Dollar stores going up in every community, all within a four mile range in my case.
Like cattle we are being herded.
Fascist leaders preaching Communist guidelines to the people because it keeps them feeling equal, and equal is fair in their tiny minds.
They have no idea of the size of the boot on their face because THEY feel they are getting what they need. They don’t even know when 4 legs switched to two legs, and vice versa! Their cell phone is the barn door, and today they wear masks, tomorrow they wave the Ukraine flag, and next week its death to Israel.
What I do like about Tucker’s video is the VISUAL for people who are too brainwashed or obtuse to believe anything they read. For folks too lazy to do their research – here’s proof of the clean, modern store. Here’s the safe “thug free zone” in which to conduct your daily business. Hello, Russia.
Now, just drive through any downtown area of any city in America.
Thank you George Soros (etc.). Thank you money laundering Uniparty.
God help our country! 🙏🇺🇲
Goodbye, USA!
Pray people.🙏🇺🇲
One big reason for the safety issue: population homogeneity—they are (probably) all Russians. Here, at grocery store-how many languages do I hear? Always more than two. What is America now, anyway?
That logic has mixed validity.
Russia is the remnant of an empire. With great diversity of peoples and languages.
Any such empire brings people from all over the empire to the ruling capitol. And sends natives from the capitol across the empire.
Diversity will be present.
But, that diversity has probably been homogenized under a different Empire, the Soviets. And Russian is the common language of the realm.
So, like our ‘melting pot’ diverse people have likely been made one. And our efforts to rediversify have probably not been undertaken.
So, despite diversity, there is likely unity as you suggest.
Too bad we are talking probably and likely. I am speaking from principle and other ex-empires I have seen. It would be great to hear from people with experience in Russia.
No.
The modern day Russian Federation is 1 of 15 former Republics.
Ethnic Russians comprise at least 71% of the population.
Over 11% are reported as “not reported” of which some are surely Russians.
That percentage approaches the total “white” percentage of the US of former times of a multitude of European ethnic composition.
Their culture and history are hundreds of years older than that of the US.
English is our common language. But even with all the recent immigration, multiple languages were spoken amongst the US “white” population for years. Some still do. Think Pennsylvania Dutch, Mennonite German, etc.
My own great grandparents spoke Scottish Gaelic up until 100 years ago and had been for 100 years at that time.
Just to reinforce this with some direct experience. My wife grew up in Soviet Kazakhstan. Her brother still lives there. They are ethnic Russian. He does not have too many problems with the local ethnic Kazakhs because he speaks fluent Kazakh.
The Soviets did try to homogenized these various provinces by sending Russians into these lands. There is still animosity between the Kazakhs and Russians because of this history.
Thanks for the real report.
These are typical actions of all empires.
JUNE 2015 – Germans in Kazakhstan
[…]By the 1970s the number of Germans in Kazakhstan had risen to at least 839,000.
[…]Following a massive wave of emigration to Germany from 1991, by 2009 the number of Germans in Kazakhstan had fallen to 178,409
[…]Most Germans living in Kazakhstan were deported from the Volga German Autonomous Republic from 1942 after the Nazi forces invaded the Soviet Union because of fears of a possible collaboration between Soviet Germans and the Nazis.

“how many languages do I hear?”
Actually, that has always been the case. In the early part of the 20th Century there was serious thought that America might become “Little Germany” or “Little Scandinavia.” Of course it didn’t happen. Everyone learned English and blended in. I expect all those families speaking to each other in a foreign language also speak English to the cashier.
What most of us think of as the norm, the post WW2 conditions in America during the 50’s and 60’s, was actually NOT the norm, but an abberration. Similarly, the political rancor and fighting taking place now has ALWAYS been the norm. The recent period of civility was the abberration.
We closed immigration for decades and forced assimilation. We also were bringing in people of similar race and religious background who didn’t actively hate the country or its citizens. That’s a far cry from bringing Mogadishu to Minneapolis and Memphis.
It’s the way of things – always has been, always will be.
Lowest crime states tend to be homogenous – see VT, MT, WY, IA. See the massive uptick in crime in MN since it purposely imported diversity.
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
Russia has
277 different languages
193 different ethnic groups
Pray and be prepared to use the second amendment, it is not there for hunting animals in the forest.
Truth!

No, its for hunting the animals in DC. ….no mercy!
If “red pilling” is a thing, then it happened to Tucker long before he visited a Moscow supermarket. At this point, Tucker is just confirming beliefs – that the system in the West is rigged against its citizens in ways that even our more authoritarian adversaries don’t even reach for. Russia is hardly a bastion of the much ballyhooed “democracy” everyone seems to champion (a system our founders loathed), but then it doesn’t seem to be trying to impoverish and break its own people…any more. 😉
Our so-called elites are so out of touch with the ordinary citizen, and so antagonistic toward them, that we’ve become a mockery of a modern society. The soul of this country has been hollowed out and once that happens, everything else in society begins to rot and crumble, from a demented, senile and avaricious president all the way down to men trying to pass as women and vice versa, to a government-sponsored invasion of the borders that is masking one of the greatest human trafficking efforts we’ve seen in modern times. We are a nation gone insane. There are some problems that cut to the root of what it means to be a people because they are spiritual in nature, and expecting things to change because of what happens at the ballot box, without addressing that root cause, is simply trying to rebuild the house on sand. The ballot box is a starting point, it is not the end.
Sorry, the ballot box is broken and until it is repaired it will NOT work anymore. All part of the “nation gone insane.”
The ballot box is broken, BECAUSE; the pews are broken, the confessional is smashed, and the altar has been carried off for pagans to commit human sacrifice, and fornication with the devil.
Cart before horse, attempting to repair the ballot box, focusing on proceedures, paper vs. machines, one day vs voting period, while not addressing the system for selecting WHO counts the votes, is like trying to repair a not running car, by reuphostering it.
Yes, the uphostery needs redoing, but the car still won’t run, until you rebuild the carburetor.
Our Constitutional system was designed for a moral people.
With respect, Dutch…. I KNOW quite a few people who have never spent time at any but the ‘alter’ of respect for Nature, and are decent, ‘moral’ persons. There are those who ‘need’ items/places to fill their lives with something imaginary, when all around them is offered Nature and its Wonders. Critical Thinking is totally abandoned in the one area it should be manifested. lol
Exactly!
Just so long as the ‘pine box’ is not the end.
Depends on WHO is IN the pine box.
Ignorant third world welfare seekers and sleeper military illegal aliens will destroy America.
Let’s all give a big shoutout and a HUGE THANK YOU (!!!) to the Murdochs and other Deep State players at FOX NEWS!!
They thought they’d finished Tucker…
They only unlocked his chains and turned him loose.
…and now, thanks to Sundance, we know.
Nice one, Bet!
Yeah it is.
Great meme. President Eisenhower said something that effect.
“If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom. ”
Yup! I reckon this is my fall back retirement plan! <smiles>
You may be there already, paprika 😎
Lunacy, when those who value Freedom the most, are the ones being ‘hounded’ and imprisoned.
this is perfect…
Nice. : )
The thing is, there actually is no safety and security in prison.
Ask Epstien, Whitey Bulgar, and many others who are murdered in prison, every year.
Even there, the security is just an ILLUSION, shattered by some guy with a shank.
We are all getting shanked daily, dutch…metaphorically speaking.
You are right, Dutchman.
Security is only an illusion.
Whether our “blankets” are in the form of home alarms, weapons, portfolios, military, and the like – our only safe place is with God.
I believe we’re quickly headed to discovering that to be true.
🙏🏻
I think the one that’cracks me up’ the most, is “gated communities” talk about the ILLUSION of safety/security, lol.
That’s a good one!
Where there’s a will – there’s a way.
Fences and gates don’t keep out criminals.
Kinda like the “border.”
Funny, Dutch.😁
Murdoch: the face of a swamp creature. He deserves hell imo. So do the rest of the lemmings. news for the low information voter as Rush called them.
Reassuring them all that if the stocks are good, all is well.
I have family that thinks so; until it happens. Slowly, then fast.
As our middle class shrinks, and theirs grows, Russia will only get stronger. The middle class makes the country. I think that is part of the NWO plan to destroy us.
Does President Trump know this????
Of course he does.
If we know it, believe me President Trump has known this for a long time.
It was the core of his MAGA program; Energy independence and returning production of goods to America.
His goal for us was the same self-suffiency that Russia currently enjoys.
Yup, the sanctions pushed Russia towards greater self-sufficiency, which means more jobs.
So, the U.S. Goverment (and yellow countries) effectively a Make Russia Great Again program on Russia.
As they already had the energy sector ramped up, the sanctions enabled them to expand into starbucks,..er star coffee.
“We caught them all.”
I venture to say he does.
President Trump likely knows things about this current time that would make your toe nails curl.
As posted previously, not too long ago I heard a news report stating that while our DC Swamp braintrust added $2 trillion to the US debt in 2023; Putin added $75 billion to Russia’s coffers (that number came from Bloomberg News).
If only we had an honest media.
Russia has a population of approximately 145 million people and $4.148 trillion dollar GDP.
USA has 332 million people (2.3 times larger) and approximately $25.46 trillion dollar GDP (6.14 times larger) and cannot save a dime.
It all depends on what people in charge are willing to do.
We can but we don’t want to.
I gave up on Steve Bannon the other day. He seems to not be keeping up. He’s all war this, war that. Ukraine. Israel. Dems v Republicans. He is lost in the Hegelian dialectic.
Some people have a team sports sort of paradigm for the world-our team good their team bad let’s kill them. They are easily manipulated by the Davis/WEF crowd.
I listened to SB after the 2020 election steal for about a year and enjoyed it. But I stopped.
I started listening to him again a few weeks ago and had to turn it off because he is still stuck in frothing, foaming, republican base talk. I felt like he was just trying to make me angry with the classic, typical, republican base issues.
He still does not seem to see that the republican party takes turn screwing us over when it comes to votes in the House and Senate. He cannot see it or he will not acknowledge that those games are how the RINOs roll.
He is still years away from seeing the truth.
I agree, he knows what’s going on he just doesn’t have the stones to go all in. it’s painful to listen to one of his shows, he’s almost as bad as Hannity with all the interruptions.
The best radio host in America is Jeff Kuhner, WRKO radio, 6AM-10AM. If you can’t listen at that time they replay on his daily podcast. A historian, and a former Editor at the Washington Times in DC , he has his pulse on the political scene. He gets death threats daily, and his health has deteriorated but he keeps on rolling. I am afraid his station may be caught up in the Soros radio buyout.
He gives his callers all the latitude they need to make their point, no interruptions at all.
I DID like his highlighting OTHERS in the MAGA movement; Maga media journalists, like Ben Burquam, Laura Loomer, etc, activists like TTV, Tina Peters, etc. and so being a resource to give those who need access to a wider audience a megaphone.
However, his consistently having backstabbers on his team, has been infuriating.
And, watching him cheerlead, and stir up his ‘posse’ for Gaetz’s two step, distraction of “9 days to select a Speaker McCarthy” and then part deux, Motioning to Vacate McCarthy, only to install Speaker Johnson, has been the final straw.
IF I watch war room at all, its to see the guests, but even thats rare.
After all, I used to watch Fox news, only for the guests and to cuss and swear at the interviewers in frustration.
WHY go back to that?
I have to say I gave up on all media/ internet figures over 20 years ago.
They are only tactical assets. They are useful only in tactical struggle. In the wider picture I have zero confidence in them.
During Covid Bannon was completely incoherent. He seemed to be furthering the whole shebang by making it all a struggle with China. There was little skepticism of the deeper current.
Bannon can be seen in true light on issues outside of the main, elites vs MAGA conflict.
I found Bannon to be running on empty on some discrete issues that I have direct knowledge about. He’s not reliable. But he still can be tactically useful.
I understand the de-dollarizatiin is destructive to our economic future…
And I understand America is no longer self sufficient (been angry about that for a long time).
However… things cost less in Russia, but salaries are also significantly less. So is the income vs expense standard that much different?

Excerpt:
Russia’s Average Salary
As of June 2023, the average annual salary in Russia is around 1,240,000 RUB, which is roughly USD 14,771.
Source:
https://www.timechamp.io/blogs/the-average-salary-in-russia-and-salary-comparisons/#:~:text=Statistics and Trends-,Russia’s Average Salary,which is roughly USD 14%2C771.
But when you compare US salaries in the same sectors, deduct taxes, look that the real cost of living in the US and compare that to Russia you will find their $14 771 goes much further.
Yes. The point is that if everything (income, housing, energy, vehicles, food, medical care, taxes, governmental fees, and insurance) are stable then life is good. You can project how your earnings will match your expenses over a longer term.
When housing, energy, food, and insurance skyrocket and your income does not cover the increase then it causes stress, instability, fear, and the inability to see your life as anything other that awful complete with the knowledge that you probably will never get out of the hole that your government has shoved you into. Even if your income increases to cover some of the higher expenses you are still suffering under the dread that things are unstable and unpredictable.
Well run economies should not be unstable.
And recall how ENERGY costs effect ALL other costs, and how illegal immigrants in the workforce lower EVERYONES wages.
What troblemaker brings up, has always been visible, both within the U.S. and in various other countries, where expatriot communities develop.
Within the U.S., for many years the cost of living and wages have been much higher in Cal. than in other States, in big cities rather than rural areas,..and lower in Mexico, Panama, Costa Rica, Phillipines, etc. than in the U.S.
Thats always something that has to be taken into acct…the Big Picture to include wages, costs, demand for workers, taxes, energy/transportation costs, etc.
Pethaps the biggest aspect of the education many have been forced to experience, is in getting an understanding of just how important and impactful PUBLIC POLICY is.
POLicy has the same root as POLitics because Politics is the messy process of detirmining public POLICY.
So many turned off TO politics, for many years, focusing briefly every four years, while our enemy waa working politics, 24/7.
So businesses in Russia make a killing trading in the global market, in which the US is the largest consumer.
The cart of groceries was about $100 at the Russian store. The crew estimated $400 from a US store.
“According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the annual mean wage for a full-time wage or salary worker in the United States is $53,490 per year or $1,028 per week (for a 40-hour work week).”
$14,771 x 4 = $59,084 Russian Standard of Living Equivalent (with the very accurate TC scale)
It’s a lot closer than we’ve been led to believe..
From what I can tell from personal observation, It appears about the standard of living is about the same. I have 30 year old stepson lives there and works for his father. A few years ago some divorce crap was happening, and some money and property was exchanged. Also, some money was sent to help her son do some house renovations. (for the new grandson!) All, prior to the swift banking being shut down. But, many things are significantly cheaper (dolarwise) to obtain there. The lawyer cost there is a like $25-$50 and hour.
A funny story -her ex was not paying for various reasons. The judge was fedup with his shenanigans, and ordered him to give her his car, deliver it to her lawyer. It was a 2019 Renault SUV. Fairly typical car to anything here. I looked into shipping this back to the US. But this car was never imported into the USA. I finally told her, if this car had any problem, there no parts here, or anybody to work on it. Later, some people told her they saw her lawyer using this car, driving it around like it was his own. LOL
Let me add this – corruption/extortion is a problem. Money can grease the skids on just about anything that happens there or to get the result that you want. Speeding ticket – make it go away. Swing the a Judge in a trial or payoff the opposing lawyer. Pay a fee, and your taxes from your business will not get scrutinized. For the most part, just everyday people trying to live their lives and take care of their friends and families.
Even if you make $100,000 a year here in the states, the cost of living here has taken a huge bite out of purchasing power.
A $60 taxi ride in a moderate area compared to $6 in a major city in Russia? That is wayy out of proportion.
what is the income range for Russian citizens?
I would like to pay 1970’s pricing for my food and other goods.
However, I would like to do it with today’s income LOL,
not on what my salary was way back then.
Wouldn’t we all? Every time the government raises the minimum wage all they really accomplish is to drive prices higher.
What is the income tax rate in Russia? Do they pay regional and federal income tax? What is the cost of their medical insurance? Mine is $860 per month for one person thanks to Obamacare. I bet that their energy costs are much cheaper relative to their income. Is their home insurance skyrocketing like it is in most of the USA? How much is their housing?
Their society seems much more homogenous which raises the culture, behavior, and politeness of their society. Diversity seems to have failed the USA.
How many illegal aliens do you figure Russia is having imported into their country, every year?
How many Lbs or tons of fentanyl?
The counter-argument to Tucker’s presentation(s), is that Moscow has been turned into a ‘Potemkin village’; the other cities and the hinterland are still as poverty-sticken as ever. Not saying that’s so; TC (or someone) just needs to get out and see if the evident success of Moscow is replicated throughout the country.
Kind of like Washington and the surrounding ‘burbs? I totally agree with your point, but since we know Tucker shopped in D.C., and now Moscow, his comparisons on prices, availability, and perhaps more importantly, the complete failure of sanctions for Western products… are still valid. I just wish he had gone into some of the luxury retailers to see what was there, and where the products were sourced from. That might have been a better indicator on the sanctions regime. If Russians are as smart as I think they are, they aren’t sourcing food from Western countries to begin with – except of course, candy bars for the expats and visitor to Capital City.
Yeah-and that grocery store, sterile as it looked, also looked pretty empty.
.
I was wondering where were fruits/veg and meat in his shopping.
.
Right – I saw a lot of emphasis on bread, Snickers and Mentos. He did pick up some bananas, but I didn’t see him comparing meat and dairy prices, or other produce. That’s where you can pay a lot for groceries.
And yes – you really need to know what the average cost of living is there, so you know you are comparing apples to apples. A lot of people go to European countries and rave about free (socialism) health care there, but they don’t talk to citizens who can tell you that over 50 percent of what they make is taken in taxes to pay for all that “free” healthcare. Or that they don’t own cars because gas prices are too crazy. Or they will always rent because house prices are way unaffordable. (You will own nothing and you will enjoy it.) Just saying, I’d like to see more of a real world comparison.
Maybe it was before the prime-time shopping. hours.

Russia’s LARGEST Shopping Mall After 700 Days of Sanctions – YouTube

I think that’s a valid question, but it comes from knowing the history of the Russians and their made for TV utopias.
FYI – My above post on the standard of living in Russia being about the same. My observations are coming from the city of Kazan. Which is about 800 miles east of Moscow. The downtown area is very beautiful, especially the Kazan Kremlin at night. From various personal pictures I have seen showing buildings or houses, fairly typical of any older city in USA.
Behind the Iron Curtain: Russia has emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union (head of the snake)
Behind the Velvet Curtain: America will emerge after the collapse of Globalism (head of the snake)
This is the meaning of Obama’s “transformation of America”
While I’m not ready to move to Russia, although it seems to be a beautiful place (much too cold for me), the Grey zone of Mexico is much more appealing.
Surely Mexico needs citizens who just want to live their lives and be left alone! There must be a dearth of residences available since the cartels and criminals have moved into and all but taken over the US.
I traveled to Mexico in 1997 and was amazed at how beautiful a country it is. In addition to the touristy places such as Cancun, I rented a vehicle and drove to Tulum, and up to Merida. Awesome city, Merida; clean, floral, law abiding and an awesome culture there.
I hear of more and more people, who can, fleeing their homelands of German, Australia, etc., to live in Mexico. Reiner Fullmich was kidnapped by the German government while he was in Mexico and is standing trial there now. Max Igan has been in Mexico since the start of the “pandemic lockdowns”.
More and more “normal” people are seeking refuge in the Grey zones. Big sigh, however, I am going to get down on my knees, roll up my sleeves and start fighting the monsters who have embraced the Yellow zone philosophy.
We can beat them! I know we can. I have grandchildren here, and so I stay to FIGHT.
In 1997 South Africa was a much better place than today.
Twenty five years of mismangement and incompetence and crime ruins beautiful countries.
The mismanagement is called creeping Communism.
Just as Russia is too cold, Mexico can be very hot and dry (Pacific side) or hot and humid (gulf side and coastal summer everywhere). But I did like Xalapa (coffee capital for Mexico). The biggest problem was petty theft. Iron bars everywhere. Also, trash abounds outside of private property. More significantly, the cartel presence mean no one dares speak up. And most significantly, I knew several Canadian expats with bayfront property in Colima where “relations” just took their home, re keyed it, and took it as their own. Their legal papers weren’t worth a damn.
Legal papers aren’t worth a damn here either.
IMO Mexico and other South American countries are exporting all of their useless , lazy , criminal, perverted,sociopaths and monsters to the US. They are getting rid of the types of people that destroy a culture and a civilization. So yeah, I am sure they are becoming nicer places to live. Mexico is getting rid of all its darker skinned lower classes and the Spanish descent elites are delighted I am sure.
IMO you are correct…folks we know are enjoying the winters in Bucerias or elsewhere on the Baja.
Are they perfect, of course not.
However the filth and street level drug use and degradation was nothing like here in Vancouver B.C.
Cheers!
Interesting post!
We live in southern British Columbia and are very familiar with Mexico.
Our community was an “ average “ working class one. It is now a community where wealthy folks “ park money” in “ dirt”
Over the last 15 years or so, a significant number of our near neighbours have bought, or rent longer term residences in Mexico.
Mainly on the Baja.
While more than aware of the horrors of the drug cartels etc.
Our cities have become third world like slums..we used to visit Seattle and Portland on a regular basis.
Like our Vancouver B.C. they have become filth infested s*it holes.
As long as we have the “Stupid Bowl” and the myriad of other “ Major League Sports” all will be well. 😂
Cheers!
Don’t stop at Mexico. There are many beautiful countries, with much lower standards of living, South of the U.S. Border.
Costa Rica, Panama, etc. there are places where one can ‘live like royalty’ on $1000-$2000/ month.
Vlad makes Boris Yeltsin’s ghost happy, Uncle Joe’s would be a different story.
WOW bummer for us.
I am living in Northern Virginia and every thing costs a fortune here.
So we have more accurate ‘diagnoses’ from leading political experts such as SD and others who attend and teach classes at the treehouse school of misfits. I’m thankful for the insight of what is wrong and why.
But the Rx, ‘live your best life now’ leaves me wondering how exactly it gets filled. So I’ll put it in the drawer for now…
Your best life is totally up to you.
What do you want it to be?
Only you can fill that Rx.
First step, get right with God,..then the rest will become clear.
Had to join in with a big Amen!
Next red pill for Tucker
Compare what you see now in Russia, to what was happening at the end times of the USSR .. where civilians waited in line for an hour to grab whatever they were allowed on half bare shelves. Then recall what happened in the Nineties when things got immeasurably WORSE.
And then along came this nerdy fellow with a degree in international law and a Phd in economics. And you see the result 20 yrs down the road
Well gee Wally, who is this miracle worker. Surely he must be considered the best leader of the 31st century … Gosh no, Beeve, dont be such a dope. You’re talking about that KGB thug, Putin — fount of all that is barbaric and irrational on this planet. Thats why we must get those STOO-pid, EE-vil MAGA scum to see reason and vote correctly for the …. “next Ukrainian Aid Package.”
Of course. I mean 21st century. Now go to sleep all of you, or I’ll have to slug you one
Alex Navalny died today… in a penal colony in the arctic after looking quite healthy in a court on the 15th. Lest anyone think Putin is a good guy…. This is the fate that the left in the US want for President Trump.
As for prices in Russia… the pay in Russia is minuscule compared to here… so I expect the Russian people think their prices are very expensive.
One might ask what they think of thier prices
Two days ago it was a National Security emergency….and Tucker’s videos are floating around…and his interview of Putin.
Yesterday, Space X launched a’ lunar’ mission and there will be ‘some experiments’ done too…
Today, this young family man is dead/assassinated/murdered/martyred(?)… They tried to poison him with a nerve agent a while back, he had been in a coma for a bit. Wonder what they used this time?
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9968692/
Symptoms of exposure…pinpoint pupils, excess urination, also diarrhea, diaphoresis, bronchospasms (makes it hard to breathe)….And it is a central nervous system attacker…twitching, tremors and seizures…and I guess loss of consciousness…
Tinfoil hat time…did this happen to make Putin look ‘bad’ given the differing opinions of Russian life that have been brought forth? Double agents over there? Enquiring minds want to know….
Aggiegirl is not suicidal.
How do we know the man died? In quantum reality he is the “Schrodinger’s dissident”
And while we know it was a planned visit…oh look squirrel:
https://www.cnn.com/2024/02/16/politics/biden-east-palestine-visit/index.html
Today?
The people look a lot happier and calmer walking in that beautiful subway than anything comparable here.
Fair enough, but where was Russia forty or fifty years ago compared to now.
Where are the western nations 😟
Oh, yes…. don’t get me wrong, Russia has made huge strides and the people do seem to be far better off than they were under communism.
👍
No different than the US holding hundreds if not thousands of political prisoners in the DC Gulag.
Such irony, don’t you think? The US political class decries the treatment of Putin’s political opposition while doing EXACTLY the same thing to theirs… what is happening to the J6’ers and President Trump is abhorrent and tyrannical.
Another red pill from Tucker’s field trip in Russia is now healthy all the people appear.
Think about the Americans in your circle. The majority are overweight, often to the point of gross obesity. Even the thinner among us will show visible inflammation, puffy cheeks, swollen joints, and bad skin. Athletes are having issues maintaining a level of fitness without having to constantly take time off from working out due to injuries.
We are being deliberately poisoned by our food, water, and air. When you look at populations outside of the current globalist reach, you see visible evidence of the extent of biological and chemical war being waged on us all.
The only chance we have to once again be as healthy as the Russian population is to remove the ‘safe and effective’ medical system of tyranny we are under.
“,…medical AND food supply system of tyranny we are under.”
FIFY
And as for the athletes, they are in a ” state of tranny”.
Think about the Americans in your circle. The majority are overweight, often to the point of gross obesity. Even the thinner among us will show visible inflammation, puffy cheeks, swollen joints, and bad skin.
I did as you suggested and can report that your generalized conclusions are not present in “the Americans in (my) circle.
I live in a very large, over-55 development, occupied mostly by lower middle class (some of them now driven into upper-poverty-status-and-having-trouble-paying-their-HOA-dues).
Not in my group. No weight gains here. No puffy cheeks or visible inflammation. Of course, no jabs or Pfizer products either.
And we listen to dr. Mercola, FLCCC Alliance. Com, Dr Peter McCullough and the like.
And intermittent fast.
I recently returned from a trip to India, and following are a few comments. I spent most of the time in Hyderabad, a city of several million people in south central India. This city is on the rise, relatively clean and well kept, a center for tech and finance in India. New construction is going up all over the city. Everyone there is busy and industrious, even the beggars. As Tucker is finding out in Russia, the cost of living in India is much lower, even in a large city like Hyderabad. Americans are so rarely seen there, that you are routinely stared at and often asked to have your picture taken.
A one day side trip to Delhi, the center of political power and home to Indian elites was a sharp contrast to Hyderabad. The smog was awful and the smell was indescribable.
Culturally, India still grapples a bit with their post colonial self, but they’re getting there. The relationship between Hindus and Muslims has long been established as a sort of detente. It works, I think, because the Hindus can be just as fierce as the Muslims, so there is mutual respect.
I could go on, but my point here is that India, in the BRICS alliance, is doing better than we are in whatever crap alliance we’re currently in. And any notion that the US is the “leader of the free world “ should be cast aside. We gave up that title several decades ago.
Several of my friends and acquaintances are Sikh.
The country is extremely corrupt, immigrants to Canada can return to the Punjab and find the family home is now occupied by strangers.
The local politicians have “ doctored “ they deeds and they no longer own the place.
Just last week in our southern B.C. community two 16 year old Sikh youths, were arrested for partaking in a drive by shooting of a prominent Sikh activists house.
Cheers!
Dekester: Most people in most societies are about the same as they have always been. I’m not rushing off to India (nor to Canada) 😀.
India may well come out as a long term big winner, in this yellow vs gray fight.
They are one that has continued to trade with both Yellow and Gray,…and has proven to be a major counter-balance to China, within the Gray alliance, preventing China from dominating.
I wonder if 75+ years from now, India will be the dominant force, emerging when the dust clears?
dutchman: I just came back from the future and the answer is “no.”
I love the official 25 or 30% estimate of our inflation. I shop to the penny and most things I buy average 100% over it’s cost 3 years ago.
Humphrey: Yup.
WE have to help each other, every day.
Personally though, I would have preferred that Tucker had gone a hundred or so miles from Moscow to a local store and show us the difference from there in the prices. THAT THEN would’ve taken all apprehension away from his report from Moscow. Either way though, I agree 100% with Sundance’s summation here.
You think Tucker should have signaled his virtue more?
We think Tucker did a great job. Who else could get an interview with Putin?
Backchannels can be valuable when trying to prevent world war. 🇺🇸👍
Probably he would have found that prices are even lower. We don’t know and it would have been a very good information to have. Nothing to do with virtue signaling.
There are YouTube channels of ex-pat Americans and Austrlians in Russia. The young Australian family left Australia for Siberia near the China border, there’s a video of a Russian supermarket with other goods like Target, price of gas, an outdoor festival, a farm equipment show plus many others. It’s called Backyard Russia. The other is an American in Moscow, Travelling with Russell, he shows Russian life including a visit to his in-laws in the Russian city of Um. There are other channels, but I can’t recall the names.
Tucker Carlson is “discovering” the modern Russia now, but I saw it a year ago through YouTube. A wonder that these channels weren’t censored by YT.
Sundance was in several different countries and cities primarily in the grey zone. He seems to confirm what Tucker says to be true.
The cause for this is “autarchy” or self-sufficiency. Indeed, as the timeline of the sanctions completes the second full year, the Russian production economy is even stronger than when the sanctions began. Quite simply, they are making even more of their own goods now. – Sundance
I know President Trump started an initiative to bring home manufacturing that NAFTA and all the other stupid agreements previous Presidents and Congresses have signed that destroyed the middle class standard of living and sent American manufacturing to Mexico, China, Japan, Southeast Asia!!! Remember the rust belt? That was done to us by our own politicians!!! We need as a nation to manufacture our own pharmaceuticals, our own steel, our own auto parts, our own micro chips, etc for our own future security!!! It seems what we need is for the world to put sanctions on America!!! As Sundance has explained the Russian sanctions have only hurt us We The MAGA People and that was known when the Russian sanctions were put in place!!! Diabolical all of it!!! God help us! Hosanna! Godspeed Sundance!!!
As the de-dollarization accelerates, so too will the offshoring of tech jobs (as if it couldn’t get any worse than the last 20 years). Goods and IT services will be cheaper in the grey zones.
The propaganda has worked. What have we swallowed without more than a peep?
Abortion
Fighting wars we never win. Costing us our children and our fortunes
Allowing men in our girls’ restrooms
Destroying our savings with inflation
897+ individual taxes on the normal individual
Our betters breaking all manner of laws without consequences
Strip searching us in order to travel
Allowing millions of invaders to travel unvetted
Allowing millions of invaders
Paying the invaders – food, clothing, shelter
Leaving our veterans out to die
Stealing our elections
Political prisoners abused
Destruction of education
Selling our plutonium to Russia
Telling us NOW Russia is our biggest enemy
Stealing Billions in kickbacks
Spying on our candidate
Spying on us
This just scratches the surface!
Vote harder!!!!! /sarc
Tucker’s interview at Dubai is very good and depressingly honest. He also went to the equivalent of McDonald’s. Bought a bag full of food and a dessert for $7. None of the food products in Russia are made with GMO’s. I don’t remember hearing anything about the effect of Covid on Russia, does anyone know? China did not use any of the mRNA products in the VAX they used. Did Russia even use the VAX?
Ive probably posted 3 dozen times that both China and Russia developed their own traditional adenoviral vector vaccines for Covid, the mRNA was not used in these countries. Russia Sputnik V vaccine and China SinoVac. India did not use Pfizer or Moderna–https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35293291.
Those of us who could see that all the economic damage done to the US economy (the Trump economy) via “Covid19” in 2020 was intentional and malicious are not surprised.
Pandemics, Green New Deals, and Defund the Police campaigns all coincidentally makes Western democracies weaker and weaker, and weaker still. Wonder why that is? /s
Since the time of Peter The Great (about the year 1703) when he established Petrograd as Russia’s window to the West, successive rulers (like them or not) have diligently worked to lift Russia onto par with the “West” … in a 1-Step Forward and 2-Steps back progression.
Heck … in WWII, 1941, the Russians literally moved their entire manufacturing and metal producing industrial base nearly 1,000 miles to Urals in front of the invading Germans … then had it up and running full bore by 1943. By mid-1944 they were producing Russian designed equipment that rivaled anything in the West … the only limit was the need to expand education and literacy … yet it is an interesting marvel that the goods produced were matched to level of education of the end user.
They are not the slow witted rural peasants of the 1920-30’s that Western Leaders seem to have fixed in their minds and try to fix in our minds.
They’re too busy making our children the slow witted rural peasants.
Hate him or not, Putin has moved Russian Strategy back to focus on Economic Warfare vs Military based approach followed by the Russian-Communists 1920 to the 1990’s.
Russians got currently best government since days prime minister STOLYPIN..and that’ more than 115 yrs ago……..
.
I’m confused, bad at economics. Doesn’t it matter what people are earning?
If a person in U.S. earns say, 3x what a person in Russia earns, then even if prices in U.S. are twice as much, isn’t former still better off? Please explain.
.
Have you paid attention to the impact of inflation vs wages in the US over the past 4-years??? Your question is moot.
The Russians are managing to produce and find places to sell items, domestically to a much broader spectrum of people as opposed to only elites able to purchase as is happening here in the US. Our buying power is dropping while buying power in Russia is no longer restricted and expanding. That is the whole point of Sundance’s article.
Western Leadership (the US and G7) are feeding us the peasant version of Russia via their cooperative media mouth pieces. It is not which is better.
Prices will always be related to what the average consumer can pay. In low income countries you will find lower prices. That’s because raises in pay, whether government mandated or not, only push prices higher, as employers have to cover those expenses. My dad earned about $5000 a year and we got along just fine. Today you need $50,000 just to keep up and both parents have to work. Those higher incomes haven’t helped much, have they?
The “big” news story that a Big Mac meal, of sandwich, fries, & drink, cost $18 dollars. I don’t recall if the story said where this was. In Los Angeles County, the minimum wage is $20 and surround SoCal counties $15. What do you think that does to fast food prices. In January I went to Disneyland (the last trip in 2010) and the food prices were crazy high. Food prices have been always higher because of the location and you are trapped there, but $18 for a chicken wrap, $6 for fountain drink, $12 for a kids’ meal, was the norm. Part of the price was the minimum wage of $15 per hour, but I’m sure long term employees made much more.
Give the WEFers 20 years, and the U.S. will mirror the Soviet Russia of the 70’s, and Russia America of the 50’s.
The standard of living appears to be about the same as the USA. See my comment above about this. Yes, things are cheaper, everyone also makes less money. My observation was a lawyer makes between $25-50 hr, in the city of Kazan, which 800 miles from Moscow.
You can go to Mexico and find the same thing. I visit a friend often and I spend more on airfare than on the fishing guide, food and alcohol combined.
The Russian uber driver makes $5.00 for providing a ride, at the end of the day he makes $25.00 for providing 5 rides. The American uber driver charges $30.00 for the same ride and makes $150.00 at the end of the day. The Russian then goes shopping and spend $25.00 for a cart of groceries, the American spends $150.00 for a cart of groceries. The cost of living then is equal.
What I’ve learned in life is that where ever you live, the powers to be will take the same amount of flesh from the working man. It is what’s left over after the pound of flesh has been taken that matters. What matters is liberty, dignity and sovereignty and the west is stripping that away from its citizens.
Just watch. WaCompost or NY Slimes will give him the moniker “Snowden 2.0”, implying a more updated version of Benedict Arnold.
“Remember, our ‘western’ government is doing this to us on purpose.”
After spending about two-thirds of my working life as an auditor and a fraud examiner in the Federal Government’s top audit organization I became a skeptic about almost everything elected officials, bureaucrats, state, and local governments who received federal money, and any private entities that did business with the Feds.
I’ve been retired for 16 years and my skepticism continues to grow.
My trust for America’s major institutions and the people who run them is at an all-time low, and going lower I expect.
They have nice subway stations and grocery stores. But if you think US Democrats’ persecution of their political opposition is bad ….
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13091613/Alexei-Navalny-died-Russian-reports-claim-citing-prison-services.html
Navalny ‘was brutally murdered by the Kremlin’: Global fury as Putin nemesis, 47, ‘collapses and dies after a walk’ while serving 19 years in Siberian gulag for daring to oppose Russia’s strongman
Alexei Navalny was ‘brutally murdered by the Kremlin,’ Latvia’s president has said, after Russia reported today the jailed opposition leader had ‘collapsed and died’.
Russian news outlets announced Navalny’s death – citing the Siberian prison service where he was serving his sentence – sparking shock and anger around the globe, with world leaders quickly pointing the finger at Russian president Vladimir Putin.
As Putin’s fiercest foe, Navalny crusaded against official corruption and staged massive anti-Kremlin protests – drawing Moscow’s merciless retribution.
He once survived an assassination attempt involving the Novichok nerve agent, but returned to his homeland upon his recovery, despite knowing he would be arrested.
Ever since, he has been serving time on extremism charges after being sentenced to 19 years behind bars, and in December was moved from a prison in central Russia to a ‘special regime’ penal colony known as ‘Polar Wolf’ above the Arctic Circle.
The 47-year-old was last seen via video link during a court hearing on Thursday. (…)
Reports said his time of death was recorded as 2.17pm local time (7.17am GMT).
Christo Grozev, the lead Russia investigator with Bellingcat, noted that the statement announcing Navalny’s death was posted just two minutes later – at 2.19pm.

Somehow, “Make America Great Again” turned into nothing more than “an acronym on a red hat.” But, this is what it always meant.
Eighty years ago, the USA was also a self-sufficient industrial powerhouse … literally capable of building everything that it needed in WW2 out of iron ore and bauxite that it mined. But, inexplicably, it then began to dismantle all of that capacity until today it has almost none. It “out-sourced” this to … a country that it now wants to call its enemy. It struts around the planet, militarily proclaiming that it can “defend Europe” and so on, when the reality is – well – “it no longer has any b<!>s.” And the everyday American people realize this.
“Slowly at first, then all at once”.
I remember in the mid 90’s, I think, Rush Limbaugh had a guest on his show. The guest had previously worked in some manufacturing company that was offshored to China. Well the guest was explaining that he now was a sales rep for the company and how much better it was. Rush and him went on about how the free trade scheme was such a tremendously great thing.
Neither of them explained that the company in question had moved the wealth generation of that company from the U.S. to China. The way you generate wealth in a nation is by manufacturing valuable goods. Oh you can slide by for a while on the financialized theft. In the long term it will cause destruction.
I guess that was the plan.
Our Government is the biggest problem namely elected ‘officials’ who are afraid of the unelected who hide their complete control.
As always, thanks for the continuing education course on geopolitics and economics. Always MAGA 👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸🙏🏻🙏🏻❤️❤️
Call me crazy, but could the good prices in Russia be due to the strength of the almighty dollar? I travel frequently to Argentina. The dollar also buys a lot there. Trust me, it isn’t due to the underlying strength of the Argentine economy.
Even Sundance has decades of propaganda to overcome. It’s nice to see your eyes opening. Russia has always wanted to be our friend. The Wolfowitzes didn’t.
” Sundance has decades of propaganda to overcome. It’s nice to see your eyes opening.”

Once Again, Just Making Sure Everyone Knows Tucker Carlson’s Father Is Dick
Dick Carlson has been a top CIA guy for years. Read his entire Wikipedia entry. He wasn’t just the head of Voice of America, Radio Marti & the United States Information Agency. He wasn’t just ambassador to Seychelles. He wasn’t just a protege of Gordon Luce, a Reagan Bush cabinet guy who got Dick a job at the crooked Great American First Saving Bank and made him Vice President of finance, where Dick became a multimillionaire. He’s gotten around a whole lot. He’s been involved in negotiations on behalf of United States with China, Israel, USSR, Germany, South Africa and more.
@Martin,
I used to watch Tucker in the beginnings of his career when he was on the McLaughlin Group with Populist Pat Buchanan, who I figured taught him about Populism & Paleo-conservatism. My suspicions, similar to Musk, is any genuine opposition is always demonized, marginalized, Alinskyized, demonetized, etc etc. Those 2 have never had that happen to them.
I read some books about how the game in played in DC, and watched what they did to Buchanan. So call me a suspicious cat in regards to Tucker, though I do see some positives with him.
Agree 100%. There’s that something something that niggles at me. Then there is the audio of Tucker saying he hated Trump.
Exactly.
How is it that these “warriors” who are “fight fight fighting muh Deep State” are allowed to be platformed at all?
And why is it that they always speak on these old topics and trite issues that everybody already knows about?
Because they are “safe” topics. Try to get Tucker or Joe or whoever your favorite influencer is to talk about the Intelligence agencies and their soft coup . Never happen.
Also check out their money sources. The Wellness Company is a sponsor for most of these guys. The love of money…
Tucker is following the BHO play book by leading from behind. Same with Joe Rogan.
These cucks /entertainers are just “discovering” what we have known for years. They are ‘enlightening’ the minor masses while the deep state is in the process of completing their next move. “Squirrel.”
You got it.
None of these media “heroes” are anything but props to give hopium to the populace and help them pretend that they have any control at all.
Nobody wants to talk about Tucker texting that he “hates Trump passionately” while building his whole viewer base on the lie that he supports Trump. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-64886188
Nobody wants to discuss Tucker’s defense of Hunter Biden “leave Hunter alone”.

I saw a similar video about 6 + months ago. Maybe something on Telegram that I came across. It was done by a young European reporter.
We need more videos like this for a few reasons. To further accelerate the obsolescence of the MSM & to bypass the and nullify the narrative from our corrupt government.
WE got spoiled.
We got LAZY.
WE got IRRESPONSIBLE.
Why bother growing and preparing meals, when it was easier to buy them pre-prepared for us?
Why take the time to understand how our bodies work, and so involve ourselves in our own maintenance and repair, after all thats what Drs are for?
Why teach our children the skills necesary to become responsible adults, when we can just farm that out to the education/indoctrination system?
Why take the time to understand how the financial system works, and how credit and insurance are traps to enslave us?
Why bother using this phenominal tool of the internet, to seek out news, info and entertainment, when (like our food) we can rely on others to seek, prepare and spoon feed it to us?
Just take the Blue capsule,…and relax. Safe, secure now just follow the person in front of you, right down the chute.
Russian debt to GDP is around 21%. United States is 115%. Bend over and grab your ankles while our corrupted government spends us into economic oblivion. Thank your politicians.
This administration and its congresses are incompetent ideologues, grifters, and outright thieves. Why wouldn’t a modern Earth have highly competitive, pragmatic leaders and producers outperforming the grifters we have in USA government? Like the Olympics, people can compete in all facets of life and there’s no guarantee that America has to be the gold, silver, and bronze winner every time in every way. But, that’s what we are sold every day on the tube and in social media (don’t bother with either, by the way).
These grifters came up in a training regimen of VHS, thinking they’d beaten the Betamax’s of the world, only have yet to find out that there’s a thing called DVD that will eventually be obliterated by blazing internet. But, they can’t see that dynamic, and so they believe their VHS rental system will conquer the world forever. Sit back and watch, or else vote the bastards out, including prosecutors and judges who think storefront theft isn’t worth punishment–and leave shop owners naked before the law. That crap is quite simply unacceptable, and any officer of the court or legislator who stands by and allows naked theft to be ignored is begging for collapse of law.
I understand the rational, but still wonder…..when SD writes this: “Indeed, as the timeline of the sanctions completes the second full year, the Russian production economy is even stronger than when the sanctions began. Quite simply, they are making even more of their own goods now.“….is it not possible that the blind hubris of the Nuland/Kalgan faction actually BELIEVED that sanctions on Russia would work; that the grey zone would be forced to align with the yellow; that the yellow ‘leaders’ actually believed their ‘Russia is a gas station’ info; that they believed that Russia would be unable to produce comparable items than they were getting from the West???
Russians aren’t exactly suffering. The stores are as well stocked as American stores. This bit by Tucker is one of three different stories showing different stores in different locations. Maybe we should be paying more attention to just what the government is saying.
Maybe we shouldn’t pay attention to anything our government is saying and watch what they are doing.
A few years ago I was having a conversation with my physician, a Russian immigrant, she said “America is getting pretty close to becoming Russia.” Have we far surpassed any/all of everything?
Most countries have found out communism doesn’t work long term, we are at the beginning stages of FAFO.
