A contrast that highlights how far the west has fallen. Russia holds transparent elections and Vladimir Putin wins 87% of the vote, resoundingly being reelected; yet Biden calls it a dictatorship. Meanwhile Ukraine cancels all elections, Zelensky declares the political opposition party unlawful; yet Biden calls it a democracy.
The totalitarian areas and liberty areas are inverting, a direct outcome of western governments cleaving the globe. What they now call “globalism” or “multinationalism” is a fracturing of the international compact, where the “western democracies” separates from the rest of the world. This reality is increasingly obvious to the ordinary person, and the Ukraine vs Russia war narrative stands as evidence of how abusive Western government gaslighting has become.
(Via Reuters) – President Vladimir Putin won a record post-Soviet landslide in Russia’s election on Sunday, cementing his already tight grip on power in a victory he said showed Moscow had been right to stand up to the West and send its troops into Ukraine.
[…] The outcome means Putin, 71, is set to embark on a new six-year term that will see him overtake Josef Stalin and become Russia’s longest-serving leader for more than 200 years if he completes it.
Putin won 87.8% of the vote, the highest ever result in Russia’s post-Soviet history, according to an exit poll by pollster the Public Opinion Foundation (FOM). The Russian Public Opinion Research Centre (VCIOM) put Putin on 87%. First official results indicated the polls were accurate. The United States, Germany, the United Kingdom and other nations have said the vote was neither free nor fair due to the imprisonment of political opponents and censorship.
Communist candidate Nikolai Kharitonov finished second with just under 4%, newcomer Vladislav Davankov third, and ultra-nationalist Leonid Slutsky fourth.
Putin told supporters in a victory speech in Moscow that he would prioritize resolving tasks associated with what he called Russia’s “special military operation” in Ukraine and would strengthen the Russian military.
“We have many tasks ahead. But when we are consolidated – no matter who wants to intimidate us, suppress us – nobody has ever succeeded in history, they have not succeeded now, and they will not succeed ever in the future,” said Putin. (read more)
The average Russian person doesn’t hate the average American person, not even close. However, it is fair to say the aggregate Russian government presents a general outlook of spite toward the American government as a direct result of what they see as domestic gaslighting, fraud and institutional lying that shapes the views of most U.S. citizens.
Internally our USA national pride is being eroded as our abusers gleefully continue their efforts.
Some Russian voices really understand this dynamic and feel almost a sense of pity toward the average American. We are losing something very valuable, and the leftists/communists really don’t care because they hate our country. President Donald Trump is correct to keep pointing this out, “they hate our country.”
The most hypocritical elements of this abuse cycle are not just evident today, the overall “western” response during the COVID-19 scam was a case study in projection.
Vladimir Putin did not arrest moms in playgrounds in Michigan during the COVID hype.
Russian police officers did not arrest paddleboarders off the beach in Malibu.
The FSB didn’t fill skate parks with sand, or shut down restaurants, or destroy the livelihoods of middle America.
It wasn’t the Kremlin police arresting people in New York City for going to restaurants without authorization papers.
It wasn’t the Russian police firing rubber bullets into the crowds in Melbourne, Australia, because the people refused to wear masks.
It wasn’t Moscow who created “bubbles” in New Zealand demanding a person apply for a permit before visiting their elderly parents, or arresting people for going to McDonalds and trying to navigate through police checkpoints and roadblocks.
It wasn’t the armed Russian military who set up involuntary detainment facilities in Australia and then called them quarantine camps- where if you crossed the arbitrary yellow line painted on the porch of your detainment cabin, you would be arrested and thrown into solitary confinement. It was western political leadership called “democratic” premiers and national democratic leaders of the Scott Morrison administration.
It wasn’t the Russian intelligence services who monitored Facebook accounts in Canada and questioned people who dare speak about the concept of liberty or raise concerns about totalitarian dictates.
It wasn’t Vladimir Putin who declared a national emergency in Canada, then arrested his political opposition for protesting in downtown Ottawa. And it certainly was not the Russian government who confiscated the bank accounts of dissident citizens who dared to raise their voices in support of truck drivers. It was Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
It wasn’t Russia who hired state-sponsored hunters to track down unvaccinated citizens in Austria, fine them and confiscate their wages if they did not comply with vaccines.
It wasn’t Vladimir Putin who blocked those citizens from shopping in supermarkets forcing citizens into a black-market just to scrounge for food and essential medicine. It was the government of Austria.
It wasn’t the police in Moscow who set up vaccine checkpoints in Paris and demanded formerly free citizens to show their authorization papers to sit outside at a cafe table.
If Western leaders like Joe Biden think they have some credibility to stand in their G7 assembly and talk about the value of democracy, they would be well served if their handlers mentioned how their insufferable ‘gaslighting’ was now falling on deaf ears.
Few things raise the anger of people to a level where foul language is the better option than the physical violence that might surface without it. However, this level of hypocrisy and pretense is surely pushing the boundaries.
To all the leaders of various “western democracies” who will now clutch their pearls as the backlash from the citizens starts to come full circle, you did this to yourself.
No one is to blame other than Biden, Trudeau, Ardern, Morrison, Macron, Johnson et al and the leaders of NATO, all political abusers, who suddenly demand the support of the citizens they abuse in order to fend off their new enemy, Vladimir Putin.
My last point on this Russian election. You might remember when the people of Egypt voted after the NATO alliance and Obama/Clinton group helped install the Muslim Brotherhood (Mohammed Morsi). The USA meddled in the politics of Egypt, removed Hosni Mubarek and installed an Islamic extremist.
The Egyptian people were horrified by what Morsi was doing and begged General al-Sisi to help them.
Much like Vladimir Putin, Egyptian candidate Fattah Abdel al-Sisi won the next election with over 80% of the vote.
The freedom and liberty inversion continues…
…. And it’s strange how few people can see it.
In short, there is no outrage or crime leveled against US State Dept adversarial regimes that the US isn’t itself the most prime example of. No criminal family since the Borgias equal the level of depravity, corruption, cabal and self-enrichment of the Clintons, Obamas and Bidens.
Ummm….please let us not forget the Bushes, not to mention the McCains, McConnells, and the Romneys. The era of Cats vs Dogs is long gone. The R doesn’t mean a f****** thing anymore.
You’re either America first or you’re not!!
Were there any Bidens from earlier generations that were active duty Military during WWII?
To hear Joe tell it, his uncle Bob single-handedly fended off the Japanese invasion of Hawaii in 1941, led the charge across the beach at Normandy, planted the flag on Mt Suribachi, and piloted both atomic bomb missions, all while leading an armored division across France and into Germany where he shot Adolph Hitler.
Did he tell you about his Uncle Beau’s WWII heroics? And that he died from Agent Orange poisoning in Vietnam?
You just jealous ’cause you don’t have magnificent genes like that in your history….
Fact is, he believes it.
R means Rino! Short for Republican EUNUCH Party.
Technically,
Republican
In
Name
Only, hence RINO.
And as we occasionally see commenters posting about”Rhinos” obviously some don’t get it.
I only mention the leaders of corruption, not the lemmings they enabled.
Don’t forget Lyndon Johnson. He was evil.
Johnson was corrupt and unscrupulous, but he knew when the “jig” was up and ended his campaign for reelection in 1968. Biden is even worse than Johnson, but will continue his campaign regardless of his poll numbers.
They were all just figureheads, hired help.
As you drive across the vast rural expance of Texas, occasionally your bored eye will briefly spot a turtle, sitting atop a fencepost, stuck there with no ideahow he got there, and no idea what to do, or how to get off. (thats your average politician).
Don’t obsess on the dumb turtle; focus your ire on the sadistic sumbitch that PUT him there!
This article possesses such crisp and irrefutable insight. I dwell in one of the bluest of blue cities; and there is something of an awakening.
It’s hard for those long brainwashed to be confronted with truth. I will not begin a debate until a single point of agreement can be found. It was once nearly impossible to identify that launching point. No longer, trust in ‘big government’ is eroding rapidly.
I find myself welcome where I was once despised. More people sense that there is a cliff ahead. Conservative Treehouse is an armory of logical ammu/nition, it’s become far easier to plant seeds of doubt, to make individuals realize that there is an evident divide between ‘the controlling class’ and the controlled. I’ll stay in the fight. Thanks for the work you do.
Interestingly enough, just as the election in Russia was concluding yesterday, I notice topical headline articles appearing citing the words; “sham election” and “long lines at polling station in signs of a protest to Putin”………….the MSM seem to be not just fiction fabricators, but unabashed election deniers.
A good read on how “Woke Policy” is controlling the once free reading/literary space thru finance-based coherence is over at Simplicius today (https://darkfutura.substack.com/p/what-happened-to-the-mythic-author?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2)
Critical thinking skills are no longer required or for that matter are actively being policed and punished.
Not that you did not already know this, but TCTH is also a “threat” to the “correct” way of thinking.

I liked how the media claimed Russia counted the vote … too fast … as if the results were predetermined. As opposed to CA … where we STILL haven’t counted all the votes TWO WEEKS after Super Tuesday … soon to be renamed Super March/April
So Russia, like France apperently doesn’t use voting machines, relying on the antiquated, archaic “hand count” system.
So Kenji, how about asking who exactly is counting the votes? Because as of today we have evidence from a sheriff in Michigan that Dominion was working with Serbians, possibly war criminals, to manipulate the 2020 election.

I’ve been exploring approaching my blinded friends with the thought, along the lines of “have they considered that classical liberalism – the right of the individual – been hijacked by someone else’s agenda?” and will insert something I know they hold dear as one of their codes of liberalism, such as that whole my body-my choice, and ask how that morphed into no injection -no job, or “what’s with silencing voices we don’t want to hear, when did that start do you know?” as these are people who were thick into the anti-trust of anything government days.
I never get an answer to the question, which is never the point, the point being, they will remember the question and in their quiet time will begin to ask themself, wake themself up from the hypnotic mind-washing they’ve fallen prey to.
Good luck; this is going to happen one person at a time, but it can be done – have seen it in real time which is a grace to be able to witness.
You are right Bessie. It’s one person at a time. Even teenager I appreciated the strength of logical thinking; I remember my Uber-progressive brother was all for limitless tolerance and anti-government, now that’s reversed: the same people are insanely intolerant and absolute subjects to the federal glob. But one by one, some see the escalating oppression.
“What happened to ‘Never trust anyone over 30’, when you turned 30?
Good article. One glitch, COVID is described as a “hype”. I do not think it should be described as a hype. A hype doesn’t cause civilization to throw itself off a cliff like a bunch of lemings believing “the Science” (which was obviously not based on any science)
Also I am superfluous to point out many people died — not because of just COVID but a large part of government interventions TO COVID. Calling it a “crime against humanity” is more suiting.
Do not forget that remdesivir + a ventilator was actually equivalent to an execution
Or as the hospital staff called it, “Run-death is near.”
And the fact that the hospitals were paid by the government to carry out these executions must never be forgotten.
Just cause it causes massive die off, doesn’t mean its not “hype”.
Every economic bubble, going back to the Netherlabds Tulip bubble, started out with hype.
IP, we will never really know the true extent of COVID. The standard yearly influenza deaths disappeared. The hysteria and hype are the “crime against humanity”. Government and a compliant media are to blame. Add in the sheeple that lost their minds too.
Humor me for a sec. Those in power want to remain in power. Hence, they desire to live forever. Hence, any disease that threatens a demise hits freak-out speed quickly. Equating to lockdowns, distancing, F ing masks, and mandatory this or that
The other side of the coin are those meek individuals with real faith, patriotism and a genuine knowledge that EVERONE eventually dies. They are the calm in the chaos. Equating to personal choice, liberty and God given rights.
I do however have a bit of sympathy for those coerced into vaccines and mask wearing to see elderly or I’ll loved ones.
…steps off soapbox…
Just a single point FYI – I also questioned the “disappearance” of influenza during this time. There is some science that shows that a higher infectious disease will “push out ” other pathogens in the environment. This is essentially what happened with omicron stain vs the previous COVID strains. Once the omicron strain got into an area, it essentially takes over and pushed the previous strains to extinction.
This is only one point, there were plenty of other data anomalies that make analysis of COVID pandemic almost impossible.
Especially the data anomaly that I still hear people (two days ago!) saying, “I have COVID so I’m isolating” when (a) it couldn’t possibly be the same COVID because viruses mutate, and (b) colds are going around, and (c) oh, has anyone noticed trees are putting out pollen?
Translation, “I need some time off…”
Dr David Martin
I’m in Australia and I was always against all the covid rubbish. And I paid a heavy price.
However, I am sad to report that I think the majority of people did buy into the fear and propaganda campaign. So, in that sense, again very sadly, I think the people were with the awful rules. Not all the people and not all the rules. But generally.
And yes, I love my country less post covid compared to pre covid.
I love my country as much now as before Covid, I just hate my government much more post Covid compared to pre Covid! Don’t confuse the two! I’ve been to Australia and love the people and the country! JMO
I understand this. As Canadians, my husband and I feel the same about the “before times” in Canada. In the beginning he said to me “that will never happen here” in talking about the mandates and cards or papers to prove vx status. He has since been red pilled. He had take the shots to work and I remain un vxed. I have family in Australia and was shocked about what happened there too.
At least we now know a part of the population will not be our friends.
Have you seen how we’ve turned our backs on Ukraine, leaving them destitute in their greatest hour of need?
It’s because of the role they played in the fake Russian Collusion Hoax. For their treachery of interfering in our election, we no longer see them as our allies. They have lost that trust forever.
Australia interfered just as much. And I can tell you for a fact that most Aussies are completely clueless about the damage their leaders are doing in the world.
The Aussies are/were much closer friends than the Ukrainians, so it will take more than that to completely sever ties, but being on the tip of the Asian spear as you guys are, having friends with cold feet is not a plus.
More than 70% of the people eligible to vote voted in the Russian election both in Russia and at Russian embassies. There were international observers present from all over the world, including from the US – a wise move because western media and neocons will question the election results, as the Reuters article shows clearly. More hypocritical gas-lighting because the whole world knows that the US 2020 election was a fraud and that Biden is an illegitimate president.
One interesting line by Vladimir Putin in his post-election speech, “I have every reason to believe that we do not observe any democracy in the pre-election processes in the USA today.” He fully understands what is going on.
I think that the US needs to have international observers. Is there any way that we can call on a few?
The West will still
call it everything
but a fair and transparent
election.
Which will probably
only make the Russian
people support Putin
even more.
Wonder how
many bottles of booze
the neocons have drank
since knowing Putin won.
Watching their meltdowns
will be entertaining 😂😂
Who in the West would not be corrupt?
Who in the East would not be actively an enemy, in many cases justly so?
I never in my life imagined the day would come where I would feel to most trust Russia to aid us in such a task.
Succinctly stated, and my reaction to “international observers” who would be on the creepy Biden side or totally untrustworthy…think Jimmy Carter in Venezuela. No one is trustworthy, except for Sundance and you, Maquis ( and maybe our other excellent Treepers!)
I have a feeling they will have a big part to play in the near future.
The US has the same international observers that Putin does. It’s funny because Biden pointed to them when people said the 2020 election was illegitimate
US citizens can be observers in their State and local elections; there are places to sign up to be poll watchers, and ballot counting watchers.
The problem is, as Mike Lindell and many others keep on trying to get through the thick heads of judges – until the machines are cleaned up (removed would be the ideal situation) all an observer will see are people standing in line, waiting, eventually making their way to a machine. There is no way of observing what the machine itself does.
So any international or US observer will also be able to claim – transparent election!
Did Russian voters have their ballots hand counted or by machine?
I am a Republican observer and have been for the last 3 elections. Our precincts use paper ballots that are put into a counting machine. We can’t observe how the paper ballots are counted by the machines and that is the problem.
100% – This is the heart of the problem, those counting machines; am praying that the Supreme Court does accept the filing by Mike Lindell which gets to that very problem.
If that can get heard we have a chance of turning this mess around.
Lindell financed KL pre-election challenge, I think you mean?
The first filed, so the first heard of a # of cases coming from KL and going to SCOTUS.
This one she filed PRE-ELECTION, questioning the legality/Constitutionality of the election process, and her challenge was dismissed, saying she couldn’t challenge an election that hadn’t happened yet.
Absurd notion, as there are many legal processes, where you can petition the Courts to intervene preemptively…the merger of a company, for example.
Anyway, this is only the first, and her cases actually get better as they come.
First, she alleged they WOULD steal the election (this lawsuit) and then she proves exactly how, in detail they DID steal the election, and how election officials later perjured themselves, and the lower courts sanctioned it.
I am pretty sure they had a one day election, which answers the question, doesn’t it?
Or did Russian voters have their ballots “counted” by Serbs, as we just found out we had in 2020?

Sure the observers can observe from the street and the windows cardboarded up.
Or they get sent home early and then the vote counting continues in the late AM.
Or they can observe the mailbags filled with mail-in ballots allegedly from mail in boxes of which the boxes nobody observed. (courtesy of Zuckerbucks)
US democracy style.
Only a couple of incidents
at the polling areas….
Video of one woman
going up to the large see
through ballot box and
pouring ink/dye in the
box which probably
destroyed the ballots.
(video below)
Another woman tried
throwing a Molotov cocktail
into a polling place.
It was a fail😂😂
And Ukraine stepped up
their strikes at the border
area.

No surprise he won.
People in Russia seem to
have common sense and
voted for the person who
has been working for the
betterment of their country.
And who actually loves his
country.👏👏👏👏👏
Common sense, yes, but also simple dignity.
🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯
I’m surprised he didn’t get more, tbh.
Here, here.
The few events western media have clung to would not have changed the margin.
Dye in a single ballot box? Setting another on fire? Atlanta lost more ballots for Trump during their 2am “water main break.” 🙄
Careful clutching those pearls, libs. You’re cutting off the oxygen supply to your few remaining brain cells.
What are the odds that Russians have to show ID before they can vote?
It’s hard to believe that the US, is just about the only country in the collective “west” where voter ID isn’t compulsory when voting.
At the Russian embassies when Russians voted in Australia, they had to show their passports – picture ID. I don’t know about other places or ID’s.
The difference is, of course, is that over here it’s possible to re-mil PPS-43s and SA-26s in 7.62x25mm, and get a tax stamp from BATF to do mag dumps at 600 rounds/min in public.
But, other than being small-armed at a higher level than any standing army in the world, and loitering under every blade of grass, yeah…RWA are right.
The AP and Reuters have been reporting disinformation about Putin and Russia. That Putin is not well liked. ALL BULLSHIT
Russia is thriving with all the sanctions put on by BUBBLE BRAIN BIDEN
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE TO TAKE THIS COUNTRY BACK
I live in Atlanta, which is so deep blue that it looks like an ad for toilet bowl cleaner (and it’s filled with millions of dingleberries too, but I digress). Even among these mouth-breathers, you’ll find some starting to wake up slightly. They’re still troglodytes and they still WANT to blame conservatives or whites or whoever they’ve been told to blame. But a few of them seem to be second-guessing their brainwashing at this point. The only ones loudly clinging to their communistic failures are the vacant-eyed libbie white women. Those are some of the most destructive animals in the world. Liberal white women are the feral hogs of political discourse, uprooting and destroying everything they touch and blaming white men for the women’s bad behavior.
Sadly, the whole metro Atlanta area is one big giant blueberry in a mostly red State. I grew up in Gwinnett near Stone Mountain. We ran all over the dirt roads and raised all sorts of Cain back in the day….now it’s like a foreign country there. Big Ole white guy is not welcome there..
I’ve been saying we should have built a wall on the Mason Dixon line…but now we should build one around metro Atlanta…the yanks and the cranks are killing us slowly…
I blame it on birth control.
10’s of millions of young girls, most still in puberty or at least still maturing, were put on hormones (BC Pills) with no long term research on the consequences.
And now 30 years later we notice a disproportionately high % of WOMEN that are blue haired, nose ringed, screaming to the heavens nutcases,…and while their are SOME Cucked libtard men, who frankly also may have been effected indirectly by female hormones in our water, we all notice its MOSTLY women.
Coincidence?
A quick googleedeegoo, but first I ask “what is a woman?”:
Some women report experiencing attacks of psychosis when they stopped taking birth control, while others say that their attacks started after a couple of weeks of use. Naturally, these adverse effects will not affect everyone, but it is certainly a risk that should not be ignored.Apr 23, 2021
Sundance, you are wrong about Putin and Russia.
Russia is no democracy and Putin is no democrat.
Russia is a corrupt country where the media is controlled by Putin and where independent journalists are an endangered species.
Putin is ex-KGB (Russian deep state), a thug ruling over an oligarchy where there is not really a rule of law.
The sad thing is that the West has become as bad as Russia and in some respects even worse than Russia.
Do I need to remind YOU, what a difference the absence of a free press and censorship make in the results of elections?
Even though election fraud was very real in the 2020 election, the result might have been very different if the media collusion and social media censorship had not successfully suppressed the Hunter-laptop story.
You are right about Western totalitarianism imposed on the people during and after corona and you’re right about Ukraine.
THAT’S why I am just as infuriated as you about Western hypocrisy regarding Putin/Russia.
The West has absolutely no business lecturing Russia on democracy.
It’s not because Russia was a great democracy but because Western “democracy”, “freedom” and the “rule of law” have become such bad jokes.
The same clowns who were criticising Putin for letting Navalny die in prison would love to see Donald Trump rotting and dying in prison.
CIA killed Navalny.
Or MI6
Or the Vax killed him, and Western Intel tried to capitalise on his death, by blaming Putin.
The day before he died…he took a walk outside…in Siberia…in the coldest month of their year? A prison with the name “Polar Wolf”…
Who does that???
A walk…pfft…that
is nothing 😂😂😂😂

Have you?
Yes
my father spent summers in russia as part of a student exchange at the height of the cold war/ he also spent 4 yrs there as part of the peace corp teaching english after 2010/ he would often complain about their govt being inept & corrupt, but could not see the parallels to our own govt, especially the intelligence services
🙂
I take your answer to be a “no”.
As I have posted before, I have been to Russia multiple times – for work as well as for vacation.
There are issues, no doubt. But, the Country and the people are nothing like what the media and our government tell us. We are being lied to, much in line with what Sundance wrote.
In summary: I would be happy living there.
How many Americans who believe what they are told would say this? Not many.
Da
Your take is correct.
I’m perfectly aware that we are constantly being lied to by the media.
Before there was the internet I used to listen to radio stations of different countries on my shortwave radio.
All I can do is getting information from as many sources as possible and using logic and common sense to get a more accurate picture.
However the extent of the lies, propaganda, manipulation and psyops during the pandemic shocked me and opened my eyes even more.
I live in Germany where there is a big community of Germans who formerly lived in the USSR and to a much smaller extent of ethnic Greeks from the former USSR.
While many of them may not be ethnically Russian, they are culturally very Russian.
I know many of them and one of my best colleagues, a great guy, was from Russia.
I like Russian culture and their emphasis on family, loyalty and friendship.
That’s why I never bought the propaganda about Russian barbarians and monsters.
Interesting, my wife just told me this weekend about the “large” population of Germans living in Kazakhstan when she was younger. How they(when they were able to) returned to Germany after the Berlin wall came down. She knew many, many families that just up and left.
Artaxes,
Your initial post, that starts out “Russia is no Democracy, and Putin isno Democrat.” while it adopts the common misuse of “Democracy” and “Democrat” in place of Liberty loving, overall is equally applicable to U.S. Government and Biden.
As Sundance pointed out, Putin didn’t force anyone to take Sputnik, the Russian Vax for Covid, and deferred public health mandates to local officials.
“Russia is no Democracy, and Putin isno Democrat.”
I stand by that and it is also no misuse of the term democracy.
Democracy in its literal sense (rule by the people) is not possible if the voice of the people is silenced/censored or if those who are a voice of the people are thrown into jail.
It doesn’t even matter whether we’re talking about Athenian democracy or US representative republic.
Both cannot function properly if voices are silenced or those expressing these voices are imprisoned.
As for the rest, I dealt with that.
“The sad thing is that the West has become as bad as Russia and in some respects even worse than Russia.”
I have not been to Russia, But this is what I know thru my wife’s family. The pro-Putin brother in law, (living in Kazakhstan) and the pro-Zelensky sister in law (living in Kiev) have not spoken in two years because of this war. My wife is in close contact with them both, and is caught between them.
There is a lot of support for Putin in and this SMO in Russia. There are people that are opposed to Putin and the war, but that is being suppressed. It is understood, do not speak up or you will end up in jail. My wife and I, have taken Russia of the possible destinations for expat living after retirement because of the current environment there.
Some additional background – a step-son(with family) and step-daughter living in Kazan, Russia. The 21 year old, step-son currently living in Singapore. He left Russia, because of fear of being drafted. There is talk of canceling the passports of these young men who have left Russia in the last few years. I do not know how true this is, or what level of risk he currently is in.
It’s the same evil bastards who caused even family bonds to split asunder during covid who caused the same in this needless war in Ukraine.
I hope your step-son and step-daughter are ok.
Your wife is correct. Centuries ago Germans were invited to Russia by the Tsars to settle and farm the land and to work as craftsmen. This worked for the mutual benefit of both Russians and Germans.
Because Hitler attacked the USSR Stalin deported them all to Kazakhstan as a form of collective punishment and also because he was paranoid.
I’ve heared horror stories about people being dumped in the winter in the middle of the Kazakh steppe.
As for the Greeks, they have been living since antiquity along the Black Sea coast and on the periphery of the Caucasus mountains.
According to legend Jason and his Argonauts sailed through the Black Sea to get the Golden Fleece.
I have. A few years back I went to Moscow with my husband. He was part of a NATO joint project back when the west wanted to form stronger relations with Russia. The Russian people are extremely proud of their culture. The art and beauty are mind boggling particularly in contrast to the very ugly soviet blocks of apartment buildings. Putin is also renovating a huge number of beautiful Russian Orthodox Churches. I can’t imagine the Western mind being able to truly understand Russian mind. As an aside I saw more beautiful women there than anywhere else I have been. I don’t mean makeup and such just breathtaking beauty. And some of the young men quite lovely too. Unfortunately alcohol is a huge problem. They don’t seem to age well as a result.
During the 1990’s, Russia was a mess with inflation of 2700%. Suicide rates were high, birth rates fell, alcoholism increased, corruption was rampant, life expectancy for men fell from 69 to 57 years, food production declined. Americans were making fortunes plundering the Russian economy and Russia’s GDP to debt increased to 114%.
That situation is what Vladimir Putin has turned around. Alcoholism has declined, birth rates are rising, suicide rates fell, corruption has definitely declined, life expectancy for all Russians has increased and their GDP to debt is now 14%, one of the lowest in the world, multinational corporations are restrained, small businesses have grown exponentially.
And that is one reason why the west detests Vladimir Putin.
I think the point most of us critical thinkers are trying to make about Putin is not that he’s a Russian democrat, but, rather, that he is being portrayed as America’s newest bad guy. On the world stage, bad guys such as Ho Chi Minh, Fidel Castro, the Kims and others have been used by our military industrial complex for decades to gin up business. At no time in our history has it been more obvious than now, as we are sold the narrative that Putin will storm the world at the same time we are under a genuine attack at our borders. We are the ones needing to mind our own business.
Agreed, my point is that we don’t need to turn Putin into something wfich he is not to reject the hypocrisy and propagando from “our” side.
The idea that Russian tanks would roll through Warsaw, Berlin and Paris if Putin wasn’t stopped in Ukraine was always absolutely idiotic.
A Russian army that has so much trouble handling Ukraine is in no position to go against all of NATO, let alone to occupy any NATO country.
Furthermore, neither has Putin ever indicated that he has such intentions nor are there any benefits that could outweigh the huge costs of attacking NATO.
I couldn’t care less whether Russian cleptocrats and mafiosi or Ukranian cleptocrats and mafiosi rule over Ukraine. Not our business and it isn’t in the interest of the people of any Western country to interfere in this interslawic mafia turf war.
You’re looking at it from the wrong angle. It’s not about whether Putin has plans to draw us into war. It has everything to do with how our corrupt government is doing everything it can to draw us into a war against Putin and whether Putin will make a big enough mistake to drag us over the “NATO” line.
The corrupt Democrats and Globalist RINO’s have been pushing this agenda since at least early 2000.
The “Russian Reset” was just a ploy that installed McFaul as the Russian ambassador who immediately started throwing parties for Communist leaders in order to woo the Communists into overthrowing Putin. Enter Navalny.
This has been planned for a very long time. So Putin’s intentions are not the factor here. Ours are the factor. Putin already knows they’re looking for an excuse.
“A Russian army that has so much trouble handling Ukraine” – that is Fake News media lies.
Let’s look at what the US would do. The US would send in waves of planes and carpet bomb the cities, killing hundreds of thousands of civilians like the US did in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yugoslavia, Yemen. But that would not destroy their military, their weapons, or their ability and will to fight.
Look at what Ansarallah in Yemen is doing. The US has sent US planes, US bombs – over 68,000 airstrikes during the last 10 years; many cities are rubble, 377,000 dead. And Ansarallah is still hitting ships; hundreds of thousands of defiant Ansarallah march in the streets in support of what they are doing.
Ukraine is a different warfare. What Russia is doing is destroying Ukraine’s military, hundreds of thousands of neo-Nazi militias, weakening their will to fight. Not destroying their civilians. Finding the weapons, planes, tanks, artillery caches, deployment points, command posts, and destroying them. Russia wants a neutral Ukraine, not activated terrorists on their borders. Russia is also de-weaponizing NATO as they have given so much of their own arsenals to Ukraine.
You are right that Russia has no desire to invade or occupy Europe. The goal was to force the western proxy Ukraine to quit bombing ethnic Russians in the Donbass, to force the the west to give up their goal of putting NATO, NATO weaponry, NATO bases in Ukraine. Neutrality, de-militarization, and de-nazification.
” that is Fake News media lies”
Nope, I have to respectfully but strongly disagree.
The very fact that the war is still ongoing tells something different.
Just because I don’t believe Western propaganda, it doesn’t mean that I have to automatically believe Russian propaganda.
To be very clear, Ukraine cannot win this war but your explanation has one serious flaw.
During the war in Chechnya which catapulted Putin to power, he bombed the Chechen capital Grozny brutally and ruthlessly and with little regard for civilians into rubble.
Am I seriously to believe that Putin has suddenly become a humanitarian?
Sorry, not buying it.
I’m neither believing Western propaganda that wants to turn Putin into Luzifer 2.0 but neither am I buying the propaganda from the other side which tells me the exact opposite.
BS propaganda
BS comment
Putin was KGB.
He was recruited to
work for KGB right
after he graduated
from law school.
It’s like saying that
a Administrative
Assistant or Janitor
that works for the
FBI is an agent.💁🤷♀️
George Bush was the
DIRECTOR of our
CIA…the US version
of KGB.
And he was President
of U.S.😂😂😂🤷♀️💁
Russia has a Constitution
and different branches of
Government, Senate,etc.
similiar to the U.S.🤷♀️💁
Each of the 85 regions..like
US states…
Each have their own laws,
elected government Mayor,
Representatives and
laws. Each Region has
their own flag, etc.
🤔🤔🧐
Sounds pretty much
like the same government
which is in place here
in the US.
What is interesting is
that there are 193 different
recognized ethnic groups
and 277 different languages.
Russian is the recognized
language. And no hyphen
ethnic groups.
It is
Russian Tatar
Russian Udmurt
etc.
Russia is first.
Here in U.S. people
are..
Black -American
Hispanic- American
etc.
America is second.
No Country is perfect.💁🤷♀️
Putin wasn’t simply recruited. He wanted to join the KGB since he was a school boy.
“It’s like saying that
a Administrative
Assistant or Janitor
that works for the
FBI is an agent.”
Except for the fact that Putin left the KGB with the rank of ltl. colonel and he was the first director of KGB’s successor FSB.
For a more nuanced picture I recommend this article from 2019.
https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2019/11/04/putins-kgb-declassified-record-show-that-he-was-no-high-flier-but-a-solid-b-a68024
As for constitutions, you know, Stalin’s Russia had a pretty good constitution too.
Problem was, it was a worthless piece of paper.
The supposed “Moscow Times” is an English language newspaper based in Moscow, but directed at English speaking tourists. It is thoroughly anti-Putin and is a digest of western propaganda. On 4/15/22, Russia blocked it for its very biased reporting on the Ukraine conflict.
Not a source that I would rely on for verifiable information. I read the article and found it highly biased.
Ok, can you tell me which of the claims in the article are false?
😂😂😂 Yup!!!
And it’s headquarters
are in Amsterdam.
💁🤷♀️💁
Go figure….
Vladimir Putin graduated from the equivalent of high school and applied to the KGB. They declined and told him to finish his schooling. After completing a law degree in international law, he again applied to the KGB.
BUT, you have to realize what was the contemporary view of the KGB in Russia. It was considered the most patriotic organization in Russia – even more so than the military. Why? Because the Russian people viewed it as protecting the interests of Russia against the west.
Agree, and would add that viable alternatives to Putin are either eliminated or intimidated out of the process, regardless of who killed (or poisoned) who. Not knocking SD, as this and your point are understood and not necessary mentions in the article.
The “viable alternatives” to Putin, don’t get publicised in NATOland MSM.
Because they don’t fit the narrative.
You might find this interesting, as it gives a very nuanced account of what is going on, both in the United States and Russia. It supports some of what you said, for example:
Vladimir Pozner: How the United States Created Vladimir Putin
The West has made it virtually impossible to set-up a democratic world due to its obsession with “controlling democratic outcomes”. One would be naive today to set up a democratic nation with a “free media” because of this, as it would not last more than ten years before it became controlled by Western oligarchs (by pro-Soros NGOs and Silicon Valley tech companies). What used to require CIA boots on the ground, to sway foreign elections, all it takes now is a couple of algorithm changes in Cupertino. What is happening in Russia today (and in China and the Global South) is the result this Western tampering. Any hint of foreign funding / influence will result in a media outlet being shutdown. And one can hardly blame the Russians for this, as the West behaves the same way when believes Russia or China are trying to sway democratic elections in the West: Russia! Russia! Russia!
Aristotle pointed out that all democracies eventually devolve into oligarchies that maintain the veneer of democracy. And this has what the West is now. And with media control and algorithmic manipulation, the West has created a tool to greatly speed up the process of “oligarchic devolution”, to the point where they can gain control of virtually any country that naively decides to set itself up as a democracy on the principles of an Open Society.
The West has essentially created a feedback mechanism akin to what they are now doing to DJT: “the more charges they throw at him the more popular he becomes”. Thus, the more the oligarchic West promotes “democratic outcomes” the more anti-democratic the world becomes. That might be a different story if the West were truly a “shining city on a hill“, but it clearly is not.
An Egyptian woman made a youtube video about Obozo regarding the election, she called him “mother/father”, among other descriptors, and also didn’t have kind words about morsi, if i remember correctly.
Transparent? Hmm.
I agree that Zelensky could have donned an SS uniform and goose-step down the aisle at President Potato’s SOTU address last week, and the Democrats would have cheered like the North Korean generals at a Kim Jong Un press conference. At the same time Putin can say anything sensible and the Democrats and RINOs will shudder and castigate him.
But Transparent?
I’m thinking about the dead Navalny guy. Russian elections aren’t transparent.
Here in America we only try to jail election opponents; Putin kills them.
Can you say the names of the dead J-6’s?
I think Sundance calls this “willful deception.” I call it “purposefully obtuse.”
People will do anything they can to hold onto their delusions of superiority while ignoring all evidence to the contrary: “We are better than them because…..”
Epstein, Seth Rich…..
Where is your evidence that Putin has killed or had someone else kill his opponents? Even Wikipedia won’t say anything about this propaganda, despite Wikipedia’s western neocon bias. In Putin’s after-election speech, he mentioned Navalny and how Russia had hoped to exchange Navalny for Russians held in prison in the west. Navalny’s death benefitted the west more than it did Russia because the western media could claim AGAIN that Putin was a villain who killed his opponents.
Navalny was not a very nice character. He was convicted of fraud in France and convicted of embezzlement in Russia. He was a right wing antisemite, anti-Muslim. Much of his funding throughout his life came from George Soros and western NGO’s. His party colleague demanded $10-20 million from a MI6 agent to overthrow the Russian government. Was Navalny poisoned? Not according to an article in the Lancet (12/22/20) or according to his own doctors’ reports.
🤔🤔🤔
Last report was that
he died of a blood
clot.🤷♀️💁
Quite unlike the retired
Boeing whistleblower
who was found dead here
in US with “self inflicted
gunshot” last week or
so.
And even though he
told friends he was in
good spirits,etc…..
no real investigation
is happening.
Could the irony be any thicker?
Yes and no, because Murphy always gets to be involved.
I can’t help but remember “Ode to a Louse” by Robert Burns…
“Oh would some Power give us the gift
To see ourselves as others see us!
It would from many a blunder free us,
And foolish notion:
What airs in dress and gait would leave us,
And even devotion!”
It seems we’ve been given that gift.
Not very pretty, is it?
So very true!
👏👏👏👏
That particular sentence stood out for me as well. Kinda sums up the whole machinery: Western Governments outright lie… and Corporate Media promotes it as absolute truth.
To Brandon, regarding the election of Putin, in the manner of the great Steve Bannon, “Suck on this Joe!”
History is bound to repeat itself if we don’t pay attention…
https://www.lewrockwell.com/2024/03/lew-rockwell/how-the-democrats-plan-to-steal-the-election/
But but but Russia bad; we must save Ukraine who is good and the “victim,” right?
And it’s the multinational ICs on behalf of the multinational globalist banksters who are directing those governments in this effort.
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆 🤣
And in the foreground of the picture above is a big white cop enforcing the covidian diktats of his superiors. I encountered several big white cops in my travels during Covid. They had obviously been hand picked for that role in order to intimidate people. And furthermore, they accepted the assignments gleefully. Words cannot describe my opinions on people like that.
Achtung, Baby!
You sir “hit a nerve” with this comment. I felt the same way as I drove around and shopped. For one I could not believe
how many stupid, ignorant people live where I do. I could not believe how they cowered to “mandates”, how they believed
every lying MSM “news” report, how they drove around in their cars with masks on!!
I found store security guards and even some managers to be the most gleeful with their new “power”. I would see a complete
stranger without a mask and we would end up talking for 20 or 30 minutes about the total BS going on around us, wishing each other a great day as we parted.
My 92 year old Mom, healthy and on zero “medications”, stayed home for a week before she finally had enough. She bolted out of the house (that new knee at 89 really helped) and with another friend continued living their best lives during the whole hot mess.
I was so much luckier than most sons or daughters who had their Mom or Dad locked up in a facility or hospital.
I’m afraid I would have not reacted kindly to their “orders” and probably wouldn’t be typing this right now.
It wasn’t a pandemic……it was forced genocide and most authorities, doctors, nursed were more than happy to oblige.
I take exception to your descriptions here. Past tense is inapplicable.
Exactly. Putin didn’t arrest people in the US and other western countries. Goons following orders did that. Goons flexing their little power shut down stores, restaurants and all the rest.
Blaming an anger sponge like bribem leaves all the real enemies living next door free to continue as before. The snitch sitting at the table with you at Thanksgiving is the one that should never be trusted again. The little tyrants in every store who so gleefully enforced the lies should never be admitted into society again. The liars who postured their virtue with lawn signs should be forced to eat those signs. At ground zero where St George of Fentanyl was lionized it’s much easier to remember who the enemies are, even if they are too many to name. Every church that closed down even as “protests” were encouraged to continue. Every nattering fool calling the snitch lines over people on the beach or in the park. Every last one of the traitors who were so happy to be in the mob. Those are the enemies of civilization.
When I see these cops ( not all cops ) the ones with the riot gear on, water cannoning farmers, the ones arresting truckers, the ones arresting moms at the school district meetings, I wonder if they are from the area and take part in the local activities of the town or area.
Ya see when the cops know their beat and the people who live there, I believe they act differently than cops who are from out of town.
There is some evidence that during J6, men from Ukraine were in the crowd along with the various 3 letter agency men.
We in Fl. applaud Sheriff Grady in Polk county. He’s a cop for his constituents.
Waiting for Germany to ban AfD and see that spun as democracy.
But Putin still sent his army into the Ukraine to eliminate Nazis.
That’s what he said.
I’m just having a hard time identifying the good guys?
He went in also to
help the Russian
speaking people
of Donbas from
genocide. The
Nahzi were basically
the ones who were
carrying out the
genocide.
🤷♀️💁🤷♀️
They SEE it but are not reporting the SEA CHANGE.
To their detriment and destruction.
Sounds like Putin is keeping his country in shape. More so than most of the others. Why would he not win with a resounding victory. Hope it happens here for President Trump.
Trumps’ great weakness, Lock Her Up! ? and Operation Warp speed.
Exposing the DS thru Hillary and an op that got the economy opened from a planned multi year lockdown by the PTB was a “great weakness” huh?
Got it.
It’s obvious what you’re “selling.”
👁
er,…d**icks?
Right, it’s Trump’s fault that the Communist Democrats in DC are too corrupt to put Clinton in jail for her crimes, and you’re totally not at fault for electing all those corrupt leaders.
Communists always blame all their faults on everybody else.
IMHO, they want to avoid the Arkansas Reeper…?
President Trump’s greatest weakness, should he have any, is that he’s so strong, sure, and willing to put America first that the other side will go to any evil to stop him. Is that a weakness?
I have lived most part of my life in a country “behind the iron bars”. I have lived the last 20+ years in the USA. There is no way to understand what are the realities in Russia, because it is “de facto” a dictatorship. Just like China, the world gets its “knowledge” about these countries after all the info has been passed thru the “sieve” of the ruling party control. There are a couple of cities in Russia that serve as a “face” of the state. It is beyond any reason or just common sense for a very skilled journalist as T.C. to believe that what one sees in Moscow or Sainct Petersburgh is what is in all of the rest in this enormous country. You just open “Google Earth” on the night pictures of the world. The amount of lights in Russia, China, North Korea, compared to the lights in USA, EU, Japan etc.. will show you the realities. The problems we have here, in the USA, are not because we are most free nation on earth, but because just beeing free allows everybody to do whatever He pleases. Some do great things, other do bad things. The freedom needs both, because humans are different. It is far easier to control, manipulate or just scare people when they are not free, like in the former Soviet Union, for instance. So, the main problem here is not just freedom, but the enormous corruption.
Google maps at night Doesn’t show anything other than the RF being sparsely populated for its size.
Plenty of light in the population clusters, none on the tundra & vast forests for obvious reasons.
/The world gets its “knowledge” about these countries after all the info has been passed thru the “sieve” of the ruling party control. /
That is certainly true, but you won’t get “knowledge” about these countries after it is passed thru the “sieve” of Western ruling party control either:
Leaked memo schooled Tillerson on Human Rights
But the memo, a photo of which was shown to POLITICO, suggests that Tillerson, a former CEO of ExxonMobil, was still on a steep learning curve when it comes to foreign affairs.
The May 17 memo reads like a crash course for a businessman-turned-diplomat, and its conclusion offers a starkly realist vision: that the U.S. should use human rights as a club against its adversaries, like Iran, China and North Korea, while giving a pass to repressive allies like the Philippines, Egypt and Saudi Arabia.
“Allies should be treated differently—and better—than adversaries. Otherwise, we end up with more adversaries, and fewer allies,” argued the memo, written by Tillerson’s influential policy aide, Brian Hook.
Hook’s memo “tells Tillerson that we should do exactly what Russian and Chinese propaganda says we do—use human rights as a weapon to beat up our adversaries while letting ourselves and our allies off the hook,”
“For this reason,” Hook continues, “we should consider human rights as an important issue in regard to U.S. relations with China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran. And this is not only because of moral concern for practices inside those countries. It is also because pressing those regimes on human rights is one way to impose costs, apply counter-pressure, and regain the initiative from them strategically.”

Victor Posner goes into both the Russia and Western “sieves” in much more detail in the video I posted above.
I would also caution the use of global nighttime lighting as an indication of political realities:

Thanks for your comment. It is my sincere hope that the West continues to live up to your expectations, however, after living in the West for over 5 decades, I am seeing troubling changes here that cause me to worry.
/That is certainly true, but you won’t get “knowledge” about these countries after it is passed thru the “sieve” of Western ruling party control either/. With all due respect, I find it quite difficult to absorb that. We are living in the Age of Information and there are plentiful of ways to inform ourselves, outside the official numbers from these countries controlled media. We may don’t know what are the realities in these countries, but we know for sure that millions have the “american dream” in their minds and try to come here and NOT there. Nobody wants to deliberately go and live in a camp. I have lived a good half of a century in one state under Soviet rule and know pretty well what means to be scared all your life. Nothing has changed there; everything,. incl. our very lives, is under their ruling party control. I agree that my example with Google Earth may not have been the best one. But all the inventions that we enjoy the last 100+ years have been made here, in the freest of all states of the world. And unfortunately among the most corrupt ones lately, I may add. But the individual freedoms we enjoy have pushed all the best human minds of the world to come here, not in Russia or China. Unfortunately the prize for individual Freedom is heavy. Because humans are different. One uses its freedoms to pursue his happiness by creating stuff, the other – to destrtoy, steal and kill. Thank you for your patience.

When is Biden cancelling U. S. Nov elections and calling it Demockracy?
When voters are scared away from polling locations due to threats of “Islamic Terrorism”… you know… the ones the CIA whisked through Central America and over the border…
“,..polling locations,..?”
“We don’t need no stinkin polling locations, we have mail in ballots!”
Whenever I would discussing politics with friends American exceptionalism would be mentioned to justify how we as Americans are somehow better ,smarter and more savvy then the other peoples of the world
When this happened I would give them a different perspective.
First, I would explain to them how blatantly racist it is to have such a view.
Secondly, I would remind everyone still listening that the ONLY difference between the People of the U.S. and other countries was the greatest political document ever written. Written by the most enlightened thinkers ever to live “AND “the willingness if the American citizens to follow and defend what it stands for.
All we had to do for our part was the easy part, defend it and protect the rights of the individuals.
Look where we have sunk to as a nation .
ALL WE HAD TO DO WAS DEFEND IT, INSTEAD WE HAVE ALLOWED OURRSELVES AS A COUNTRY TO BECOME THE SHEEPLE MY FRIENDS WOUD ACCUSE OTHER PEOPLES OF THE WORLD OF BEING.
I just feel sorry for the next generations to come and the real exceptional Americans who are trying their best to save this country.
May God bless this country and Bring Trump to victory.
Wow! An impressive win for Putin. Very Bidenesque.
I think Putin has
reached the same
status with the majority
of the Russian people
as S. Abe of Japan.
Both have been/were around,
and known by generations
for so long, it is probably hard
for them to imagine a Government
without them.
V. Orban would probably
be in the same status too.
All seem to be in the
same category of….
They love/loved their
country.
And none have the rediculous 22 Amendment to contend with.
I offer Mr.P congratulations.. He’s an effective leader for his country & appreciated by the people; they have prospered under his presidency… there’s something to be said for all that.
You know if America survives as a free Nation envisioned by Founders ( one can only hope ) – the Covid Era and its hysteria will be looked back as a very strange historical event – Not like the Spanish flu epidemic of 1918 . But more like the oddity of behavior in the Prohibition era ( couldn’t even cook with wine IDT ) But sadly much more dangerous to human life through poor/criminally negligent decisions ( Nursing Home orders ) and to the mental health of its citizens .
But unlike the Prohibition era with Al Capone selling bootleg whisky from Canada to satisfy citizen demand , there was nobody selling larger circles for the sheeple to Open Air sunbath in ( per that ridiculous picture from the NYC area — sad sarcasm )
BTW that picture with NYC policeman with Sunbathers on lawn circles – in White Shirt – is a Supervisor/Ranking Officer uniform Shirt – not just a. Regular policeman/patrolman ( who wear blue shirts ) So they needed a higher ranked one to supervise that ridiculous Circle Time ? So pathetic …
A lieutenant, at least.
We are loosing something very valuable and the majority of Americans are too asleep and comfortable to care..
Thank YOU, Sundance, for being a beacon of truth.
I love you, MAGA Brother.

It would be good for us to revisit the interview of Tucker with Matthias Desmet, the expert on mass formation hypnosis, as the basis of why totalitarianism regimes have taken root throughout history.
And it is up to us treesters, the critical thinkers, to break the hypnosis for those that fell victim to it during the scamdemic.
Interestingly, Dr. Desmet says, the smartest and the most educated of society are most susceptible to mass hypnosis.
https://rumble.com/v1ok4ee–mattias-desmet-and-tucker-carlson-discuss-the-phenomenon-of-mass-formation.html
“,..smartest”?
No, possibly the “most intelligent” and certainly the most educated, aka with the ‘highest level of education’,…as the general rule is the higher you go, the stupider they gets.
A genius,with NO formal education,…is still a genius.
And any education they get, will be built on a solid foundation.
On the other hand, an idiot, no matter how much education they get, will remain an idiot, cause you truly can not fix stupid.
Some of the stupidest people I have ever met, have university degrees.
And the two smartest men I have ever known, only got to 6th grade.
Our Upper Caste despises us. Most of us despise them.
They control our money – the Fed and a handful of New York Banks.
They control our Media – you know the list.
They control our Internet. Complete crushing of any alternative thoughts, unorthodox or benign.
They push Fear. We push back.
They create Confusion, we want clarity.
You know all the tests, all the obstacles put in front of us. Yet the final test is coming. If Nov 2024 is a repeat of the scam of 2020, you know it is over.
THEY control the Government, the Banks, the MSM, Big Tech, and every major Institution.
WE are the vast army thst don’t control anything really.
THEY are hopelessly outnumbered.
Meanwhile… the Majority Leader Of The U.S. Senate and the (alleged) President Of The United States Of America demand “regime change” in Israel…
Even if you put all this inconvenient reality aside, realpolitik would suggest having two of the three largest nuclear arsenals in the world pointed at China, rather than America make far more sense.
It’s all so tiresome. Most importantly…I fear of a future that my 2 young adult children are inheriting.
“…Zelensky cancels Ukraine elections, Biden calls it a democracy…”
Yes, of course. Because according to democrats, maintaining their hold on power at all costs is what they call a “democracy.” Or better yet, it’s what they constantly refer to as “our democracy.”
Be certain the “our” in their rhetoric is not “us,” it is only “them.”

It wasn’t Putin who refused to allow me to see my father as he lay dying in the hospital until he was too far gone to even know I was there. I f’ing hate these people.
The O’Biden Administration couldn’t make Russia look any better!
Dumb people running the country.
If you think about it, Putin has actually done all the things for Russia and the Russian people that Joe Biden LIES about doing for America and the American people.
Putin has enhanced the security and economy of Russia, and the Russian people are better off today than they were six years ago. Biden makes everything worse but represents himself as a huge success by using the darkest period of COVID lockdowns as his starting point.
Glenn Diesen had a good post on the Russian election.
GAWD the irony of Joe Biden, a man “elected” in a transparently fraudulent election, accusing Putin for doing the same thing is nauseating. And sad.
“Confession through projection.”
“People seem not to see that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.”

Life in America is “top-down” now, so more and more is written into protocol and “acceptable” dogma (remember PC?), and the culture adapts to it. The protocols and dogma being bad recipes for living and wildly incompatible with liberty, well, there goes your society.
I’d rather live under a “DICTATORSHIP” with President Trump being the DICTATOR than ANYONE else the RINO’s or DEMONCRAPS can place on the ballot.
If President Trump DOESN’T get sworn in in January 2025. I’m NOT GONNA CONSIDER MYSELF AN AMERICAN ANY LONGER, let alone PROUD to be an American.
I will NOT COMPLY and CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE will be my mantra until Americans are FREE AGAIN.
“We have put together, I think, the most extensive and
inclusive voter fraud organization in the history of
American politics”, Joe Biden said in a video.
Joe Biden is an Election Fraud criminal.
But, but, but, Navalny….
The democrats want a bloodbath if you heard Chuck Schumer latest statement on Israel election.
Of course Joe thinks Putin cheated, Joe did and he can’t fathom winning an election without a little extra “help”
