Salvador Dali Bay of Cadaques 1925 • The Fear of Fear Itself: The Gripping Truth Out of Ukraine (Butler) • It Was Never About Ukraine (Antiwar)
[See the full post at: Debt Rattle November 24 2022]Somehow still crazier than I thought:
“Colorado Gay Club Shooter Identifies as “Non-Binary” with They/Them Pronouns”
Also, so wtf was going on there for motive?
Next Andre Bing in Va. We’re on 22 of 25 are Leftists so far?
Now we need calls for Joe Biden to show some class and not politicize their deaths. Is now really the time, Joe? Nope. A minute later campaigning for gun control. Me too: if only everyone were well-armed this wouldn’t have happened. (Something else would have happened.)
“Howls of Outrage after New York Times Confirms SBF to Speak Alongside Zelenskyy, Yellen”
This is awesome. All the criminals together in one place, no shame. Billion dollar criminals, or need not apply.
“a group of individuals gravitated toward one another for no apparent reason…inexplicably headed in the same direction”
Again noting nothing happened for the election itself: Twitter is purchased just AFTER it can help the election. FTX is clearly the biggest election story, easily brought down for an October scandal, but Binance takes it down – actively – the day AFTER the election. The House goes to GOP, Trump says in his candidate declaration, but before final tallies. That is correct. The House is taken only by one: the exact amount needed to have committees begin investigations. Note unlike the last 40 years, the GOP suddenly wastes no time. Why? They didn’t do jack between 2015 and 2020 when they had a majority. Nothing since 1996: they call them “Democrats driving the speed limit”, “the fast communists vs the slow communists” for a reason. Why the rush? Press meetings suddenly ask questions. The day AFTER GOP wins, Supreme Court releases Trump’s taxes.
Notice all these things? They all have in common being a plan that is prepared but suddenly put into action. And that plan takes action AFTER the election, not before. That is, strangely it suggests they were not trying to win the election, but only need one hammer to ring the bell: The House. (They used the Senate last time)
Why? They only need adequate control to gain the real prize and the real government: The People. CNN down, reforming. NY Times: constantly discredited, failing. Twitter, the public square: captured. Parler, Truth Social, Gab, etc: alt-platforms built and occupied, ready for use. Disney: smackdown. Google’s CEO: MIA.
Since they released Hunter’s laptop and nothing happened, they — the White Hats — circled round and captured a few more of these chess pieces to start again. What was lost but time? Would you prefer a Civil War? If it only cost time, retained control and only your fee-fees of frustration were hurt, then suck it up Buttercup.
But my point here was: what R the odds? All working together, all same target date, like an invisible magnetic force.
Why is SBF being reported so gingerly? For example by calling him “SBF” instead of his real name “Bank Fried”?
So let me get this right: SBF who had the clearest multi-billion dollar crime in history is innocent and walking around giving expensive public speeches, but Trump is guilty of something we can’t name and needs to go to jail. …And this is not partisan at all, just good law and order, social justice.
“The more they throw into the mouth, the more they suck out of it. The system works perfectly for them and, what is left, once processed and liberated of most of the real substance and value, is excreted through the blackhole at the end.”
A very expressive metaphor and probably correct. The beast’s purpose is to absorb and extract money, the blood of life.
“Sam Bankman-Fried has now demonstrated that he is both a pathological liar and a sociopath, the kind who in “explaining” to his employees how he stole billions (over $4 billion”
Need to watch the whole South Park “Margaritaville” episode again. Not the Fed headless chicken part, or the “Aaaaand it’s gone” part. This part where they go to the jack-ss CEO who says, “Mmmm, yeah, um, yeah, your money’s not here, yeah, sorry, yeah…” The only thing I can think, as a child of a dozen insiders, is that he thinks he’s going to Ken Lay island. That is, he goes in the front door, out the back door, and Sydney Carton appears to take his place in the docket. https://www.cliffsnotes.com/literature/t/a-tale-of-two-cities/summary-and-analysis/book-3-chapter-13 (Wiki wasn’t precise enough)
So just as I’ve said, he makes maybe $500M for his trouble in service to the CIA and DNC. Some poor drugged up drunkard ends up in prison or having an “accident”, and Bankman retires to Thailand next door to McAfee. That’s why he’s so relaxed. But not being an old cynic he doesn’t believe the CIA would double cross him despite every measure he took and every red flag thrown up. Like Lee Oswald giving a notarized statement to the Russian Embassy, and using a gun that’s impossible to shoot. There’s an old movie “F/X” that’s about staging, swapping fake outcomes. Suuuuure you’ll be fine, Sam, but wouldn’t it be easier to just NOT swap you? “Burn Notice.” Sorry old chum.
But this would explain why HE is so relaxed and won’t shut up, doesn’t bother with lawyers, etc. He’s an a staged op from the get-go. He knows it. They discussed it. When collapse is the PURPOSE, why wouldn’t they have pre-planned their parachutes? There’s zero chance FTX was a going concern. Nothing was lost. All the money was stolen and handed to his Party Capo as promised. Why WOULDN’T they fulfill his retirement?
Anyway, FTX seems to be taking down the next exchange now. And elsewhere there are derivatives involved. They don’t activate for 30 days, and derivatives are $2 Quadrillion or more at this point. $2,000 Trillion, which is $2,000,000 Million Billion. Like zillion-grillion-killion numbers I make up some times: equally not real. It can take a few FDIC banks in that sphere, and the 100% fraud of Tether, dropping crypto AND Dollar-banks.
Much fun as that is, Credit Suisse is the same, no different. That like-kind ponzi, empty shell also blew up and has an equal-sized hole. Difference is, it has a Fed et al to print money to bail it out. That was the PURPOSE of a Fed: to the be “lender of last resort” so JP Morgan wouldn’t have to do it in his living room. They dirty the carpet.
Again, the coins aren’t gone. There’s nothing wrong with Bitcoin. When MF Global went down we didn’t say “Dollars are fake” “Stocks are a scam” or “Commodities aren’t real”. Global was an EXCHANGE. Not paper dollars, stock certificates, or a truck of orange juice. Obviously those are real. If you put your car in Self-Stor and they steal and sell it on you, that’s not the CAR’S fault. Problem being: regular guy and investor can’t tell that. To them it’s “Crypto isn’t safe” and that’s how it is. Interest and investment falls.
“EU Parliament Brands Russia ‘State Sponsor of Terrorism’ (RT)”
I see how easy it will be the turn the taps on now. “Righty-tighty, lefty-loosey”. Of course that’s the POINT. Of MacKinder. However, without conquering Russia Europe will slowly collapse in darkness. Darkness matching the religion of their leaders, the religion of nihilism and death.
“adding that such a resolution “carries great weight.” The EU parliament’s document adopted so far is largely symbolic”
Signaling! Can’t you see me signal??? What’s wrong with you, I’m signaling! Helloooo…?? Know your place; I’m talking to you, Juanita!
“a comprehensive international isolation” of Russia and “to swiftly complete its work on a ninth sanctions package.”
Slow learners. “If at eighth you don’t succeed…” But these guys also think the vax works so well you need five of them, and another every four weeks. That’s what makes it a “Vaccine” and not a “Therapy”. Darwin, I guess.
As for family taking them, yeah, I know. But this isn’t the first time. The government has always lied, ALWAYS, since all of us were children. Because of this, logically you must always expect they will pull something like this, you’ll have to liquidate your property and flee over the Alps to Vermont (while singing in harmony, of course). So some have further to go than others, but we ALL KNEW. If they’re on life-long denial and never created any life boats or contingency plans, whose fault is that? You can always – though not easily – drop back to the level of an immigrant, illegal immigrant even, to live like a gypsy and save your life. Many have, millions, and a thousand times in history. We look down on the Jews denying and remaining in Europe for instance. Well, this was your chance, and they made their own choices, not in 2020, but in all the years leading up to.
If someone is trying to KILL you, yes, flee to NY and become an illegal taxi driver. I can’t do it for you, but I have my own lifeboats. It’s called a “lifeboat” because it’s desperate and not as nice as the ship.
“ Huge Swathes of Ukraine Without Power & Water (ZH)”
Since nobody understands anything, the Grid is essentially a standing wave. A power plant of any sort has to integrate to the cohesion of the standing wave. A power plant cannot run without a grid to push electric into. That’s why with the North East Blackout, when the transmission failed, the power plants shut down as designed although there was nothing wrong with any of them. Part II: you cannot just start up a power plant again. Strangely, most of them require there to be a grid, or at least a whole lot of electric, to “turn it on” before it re-attaches to the Grid. Carefully.
So that’s what was done here: Russia took out the Grid switching stations, dropping the Grid, but leaving the Power Plants intact, especially the nuclear ones. Also leaving all the towers, poles etc intact, just the substations. Like Russian rail, different gauge, this equipment is essentially “Russian” and must be made in Russia. It’s not impossible, not a state secret and I suppose Westinghouse could do it but they never have before and have hardly any capacity even for our own grid. The other choice is China, Russia’s ally, but even they probably have a 1 year lead time.
Great plan. Go all-electric. Sure you won’t have any trouble in California, with forest fires, with charging, with blackouts, with trucking, with range, with rules.
We should really invent a new energy source, hydrogen, or based on chaining hydrogen bonds. Rather than being flammable and under dangerous chemical tension, we’d make it a liquid to be consumed and removed, for light weight, then filled, so as to “charge” the car in less than two minutes. It would be flexible, as the energy isn’t grid-tied, and hopefully underground, and can re-fill twenty cars at a time. It wouldn’t use any rare materials but something very common and cheap like steel and aluminum. I would have the highest energy density, going 500 miles on a charge, and yet if it was injured or caught on fire wouldn’t burn too easily and could be put out with water. Lastly, you should be able to put this energy in a box and carry it around, to your mower or tractor, giving it essentially infinite range for just a few dollars.
WE HAVE A SYSTEM LIKE THAT. It’s called Gas and Diesel. We already built it, at many trillion$$ expense. Electric is substantially inferior. You’d be better off with a golf cart or a 1920 Model T than that. I would. You can probably fix a Model T with a screwdriver and a file.
“The country is now in an extremely dire and urgent phase,” and it’s winter. I can’t tell you how grave this is, and how difficult and all-consuming just living becomes, unless you’ve lived in a deep-cold winter. You think pulling water in buckets and waiting for the food truck sucks in summer? You ain’t seen nothin’. “This ain’t no party, this ain’t no disco
This ain’t no fooling around.” I ain’t got time for that now.“EU Has ‘No Right’ To Get Tired Of Ukraine Conflict – Kiev (RT)”
Yup, Kiev is the world capital and first nation, more equal than others. It’s the Fifth Reich.
““Gold purchases by regulators more than quadrupled in the July-September period and totaled 399.3 tons..”
They’re always preparing, yet nothing happens. Like Russia tying the Ruble to Gold. Yes, and then nothing happened, they never pulled the switch. The dollar goes on, and with it, infinite-compounding corruption.
““Oddly, the advertisers are abandoning the platform as its user-base is growing to record highs…”
Yes, the Mafia is broke and collapsing. They’ve been hoarding all strength and dollars only between fellows. So is NOT advertising — to a larger base — going to bring in less money? Sounds like it’ll collapse you, but slowly, bleeding out. As fascists, they cannot exist without direct violence by government, forcing tax money and monopoly sales to their private coffers. They keep losing key pillars one by one as the White Hats target them and methodically and with irritating slowness, remove them.
…You think that’s bad, what about the kiddie pron revenue lost now that Twitter won’t allow it? There’s the real bucks and blackmail.
The slippery slope. How we end up here from 1 perspective. Lying for good causes. Worth a quick look – we all do it too.
This may help you understand why Covidians reached such an acceptance and even enthusiast promotion of inhuman restrictions; even now, once they acknowledge the strong proof against most of them, both for being useless and for collateral damage they bring

Worth adding at this point, no nobodies from nowhere suddenly got a docket on the Supreme Court for Election 2020.
What? There were 50 lawsuits, highest-profile names, all declined for standing, but Dr. X from Arkansas goes to the top of the docket? Yup. And AFTER the election.
Okay, what does the case say, that 2020 was a transparent fraud, all the congressmen, Presidents, and Governors should be thrown out, with all their Secretaries of State who oversaw it? Of course not. America is a nation of liars and weasels. We wouldn’t tell the truth even if it were easier and helped us. Tut tut.
The suit is extremely small and says only one thing: Proper procedures weren’t followed as legitimate legal requests were made for election review. Instead of allowing the 10 days, Congress et all certified anyway. Mr. Supreme Court, is this legal?
…Of course not. And that’s an easy 9-0 decision. Because it’s a technicality that is clear as written.
So, should they rule, or even 5-4 on party lines, what does that mean for Election 2020, Congress, and the President who is seated? They are effectively de-certified.
Okay well those 10 days are pretty darn long-passed, then what? You can’t just review it now, WHO would we trust to do the reviewing? Not THIS Congress and president, and we can’t install the OLD one. Huh. Funny ol’ world.
I presume that only the MILITARY would take orders from the USSC to put the electees in escrow to sort it out.
HOW? By having another election, overseen by the military. And that would mean some time from now, at least a year, as you’d have to give everyone time to campaign. And be a big enough event and bang for even American blockheads to remember.
So will we look into 2020 and 2022 election shenanigans? Install the Post Office patent for honest (blockchain) voting? They own the House, why not? Or the present House can hand off to the Military Courts, who already know. Trump had executive order for election review in 2020 and already referred it all to the 10 agencies.
No? Then why is this case on the docket? Why is the timing like an invisible, magnetic attraction?
Excess Mortality is Worse than it Seems.
The UK currently has excess mortality of about 13-18%, depending on the selected period. Please consult the UK excess mortality presentation for details. You can also download a spreadsheet with data.In the last three months (August, September, and October, counted only until Oct 21), the expected number of deaths was about 77,000, and the actual deaths exceeded that amount by 10,181. I tabulated this data for you here, broken down by age group:

“I certainly, when I was in [the pharmaceutical] industry, I was pro-vaccine. I would say I now abstain at best. And I’m ashamed that I was pro-vaccine because I didn’t do my homework,” confessed Yeadon.
“I worked in the field of small molecules, pharmaceuticals,” he continued. “I was never in the field of biologicals, where the therapeutics that are vaccines were made. I never looked at the data. I never thought hard about it. I just accepted what I’ve been taught at school and in university. And once you start looking, you realize it’s extraordinarily questionable what’s gone on for decades.”

I was planning an extra-early jam-packed pre-holiday roundup for you, to tide you over, but providence had other ideas. When I got up this morning to blog, the internet was down where we’re staying, and I spent time spreading holiday cheer with the service staff trying to get it back up. We had to wake somebody up early to restart the router or something. It’s now running at dialup speed. I’m grateful though!
In today’s final pre-Thanksgiving roundup: things I’m grateful for; Fauci’s first deposition; covid coordinator talks out of his butt; Fauci gives his last covid briefing; AI robots with frickin’ lasers on their heads; Walt Disney’s new family friendly male-stripper show; Elon Musk is sick of negotiating with leftists; more covid data we need to capture; UConn coach collapses at game; high school coach is SADS; middle-school principal is SADS; and a high-profile study exposes excess heart attack in younger people.

———Consider the irreducible paradox of government. It’s function and purpose is to force people who want to do something to NOT do it . . . ostensibly for the sake of the welfare of those who want the opposite. Or governance can be the reverse, that is, it can be the effort to force people to DO things that they don’t want to do, which is also ostensibly for the sake of other people (who in this case would consist of those who DO want the thing done.)
I either case, and utterly regardless of the form or nature of the government itself, there is going to be a cohort of persons who are expected to passively allow their own free will to be trampled.
Sure looks like a recipe for warfare to me.
Especially when the “you must” and “you must not” governmental mandates have to do with the quintessentially vital activities necessary to life itself.
Right now we have a formally “official” government of liars thieves and murderers who are mandating that we, the presumed subjects of that government, submit to death so that liars, thieves and murders can continue living large and prospering.
I other words, it APPEARS to be a paradox in which good must submit to evil, truth must submit to falsehood, and justice must submit to travesty.
That is an impossibility, isn’t it?
Government isn’t actually a paradox, then, is it?
It’s more like a trick, a con, or massive LIE . . . in service to liars, thieves and murderers. And the lie is that the personal sovereign choice between good and evil (right and wrong) can EVER be abdicated by yielding it to others. It cannot be. YOUR choice cannot be handed off. That sovereignty is God’s gift to you. That is the truth.
In other words, there are no paradoxes in this universe. When something LOOKS like a paradox it is merely a lie in truth’s clothing.

While BoJo may be semi-loopy, and blithely ignoring hard facts, heh, in this case what he said in the CNN interview is spot on.
Of course the top economic ppl in D, the industrialists, saw disaster looming, were for a short war, as the least bad option, the speedy capitulation of UKR the best outcome, so as not to disturb exchanges / trade / pipelines / etc. in Europe. Which makes perfect sense from their pov, + for the D public ppl’s interest.
That Macron was in denial or oblivious (or seemed to be so) is also unsurprising, he has problems at home, avoidance, was on another track, etc.
Be in no doubt that the French were in denial right up until the last moment .. Johnson also said. Heh.
All this shows that Eur. ‘leaders’ are uninterested in representing their countries, their ppl, and interact amongst themselves in an informal club, such as a local golf club, a pol. party meet, where some can suddenly be championed, hailed as a visionary, others excluded, snubbed. Very much like Anglo Clubs in Colonial Times (I have been reading, A Passage to India by E. M. Forster), except now the ‘Natives” are the locals, citizens of Europe, whom the Pols are supposed to represent, but are to be cancelled, subjugated.
Unforutunately, none of them understand what is going on (imho), they are confusedly concentrated on their personal positions (institutionalsied for the most part), their relations, ties that bind, to see them through. To what future they don’t know, have no vision.

I wonder how much longer it will take for a substantial portion of the populace to wake up to the fact that the governments of NATOstan countries are nothing other than criminal gangs, and that those criminal gangs are carrying out theft and murder on a continuous basis not only overseas but also within the borders. And that everything mainstream is a lie.

Do We Need The State?
Sent my son a link yesterday to The Big Reset Movie posted on Rumble. Just looked on Rumble and it seems to be listed under several different titles, take your pick. Don’t remember who posted it here, but thank you, I thought it was worth my time to watch, even with the all the challenging subtitles.
Anyway, my son watched the whole thing and called afterward. We talked about an hour on many of it’s implications. He has a busy life with work and family, which doesn’t allow him a lot of extra time do dig around for nuggets on the web, so every so often I send him something I think gives a good overview on a certain topic. As much as I hate burdening my kids with this sh#t, I’d much rather have them aware of what’s going on and chewing their nails off than blissfully ignorant.
Nice. Tim Watkins nails it again.
By their excuses shall ye know them
Vladimir Putin has added yet another superpower to his list this week by – presumably via some form of psychokinesis – causing an egg shortage across Britain. In reality of course, the shortage is the result of the 2021 fertiliser shortage which, on top of everything else, resulted in a shortage of chicken feed this year. Nevertheless, the “Putin ate my homework” excuse has become a default for the neoliberal right of the Tory Party. And the reason it is used so often, is that it diverts attention away from their own – very, very large role in all that is wrong with the UK economy just now.
Not that the neoliberal left is any better. While they have no love for Putin, their go to excuse is that Brexit did it. Indeed for the five million or so “Remainiacs” who have never been able to move on from 24 June 2016, Brexit is the stated cause of everything and anything which has gone wrong since. But once again, the use of Brexit to cover their own role in collapsing the UK economy sounds a lot like denial. Because the Remainiac tendency were the loudest and shrillest voice against anyone with the temerity to suggest that locking down an economy for months and years on end might turn out to have some very negative consequences.
The point is that while Brexit and the war in Ukraine have undoubtedly had negative consequences for the UK economy, these pale into insignificance when compared to the impact of two years of lockdowns imposed by the neoliberal right and supported with a vengeance by the neoliberal left. Even these though, are but a shadow of the damage now being wrought by the self-sanctioning of energy, which is driving high prices, generating the deepest recession in more than a century, causing growing food shortages, and deindustrialising a large part of Western Europe – again, a process loudly supported by both the neoliberal right and left.’
In Brief: By their excuses shall ye know them, The leopard couldn’t change its spots, Peak charity
It all had to come to an end anyway because it was all unsustainable. But the clever aspect is the way the criminals in London, Washington, Brussels, Wellington etc. blame Russia in general and Putin in particular for everything that goes wrong, whilst continuing to loot the till.

The human eco-predicament: Overshoot and the
population conundrum
William E. ReesAbstract
The human enterprise is in overshoot, depleting essential ecosystems faster than
they can regenerate and polluting the ecosphere beyond nature’s assimilative
capacity. Overshoot is a meta-problem that is the cause of most symptoms of
eco-crisis, including climate change, landscape degradation and biodiversity loss.
The proximate driver of overshoot is excessive energy and material ‘throughput’
to serve the global economy. Both rising incomes (consumption) and population
growth contribute to the growing human eco-footprint, but increasing throughput
due to population growth is the larger factor at the margin. (Egregious and
widening inequality is a separate socio-political problem.) Mainstream approaches
to alleviating various symptoms of overshoot merely reinforce the status quo.
This is counter-productive, as overshoot is ultimately a terminal condition. The
continuity of civilisation will require a cooperative, planned contraction of both
the material economy and human populations, beginning with a personal to
civilisational transformation of the fundamental values, beliefs, assumptions and
attitudes underpinning neoliberal/capitalist industrial society.https://www.austriaca.at/0xc1aa5576%200x003dcfa1.pdf
It would seem this problem is presently being worked one in real time.
The above paper was found here:
Since winter is upon us in the northern hemisphere there may be some extra time for reading. Here are a few more reports that some here may find interesting:
https://www.simonmichaux.com/gtk-reports
A sample from one of the papers:
It becomes highly relevant then to examine how mining ecosystem interacts with the energy ecosystem.
The IMF Metals Index and the Crude Oil Price Index correlates strongly. This suggests that the mining
industrial operations to meet metal demand for the future are unlikely to go as planned.
The implications are that the basic prediction of the original Limits to Growth systems study (Meadows et
al 1972) was conceptually correct. Just so, it should be considered that the industrial ecosystem and the
society it supports may soon contract in size. This implies that the current Linear Economy system is
seriously unbalanced and is not remotely sustainable. The Limits to Growth conclusions suggest at some
point, the global society and the global industrial ecosystem that support it will radically change form.
It is clear that society consumes more mineral resources each year. It is also clear that society does not
really understand its dependency on minerals to function. Availability of minerals could be an issue in the
future, where it becomes too expensive to extract metals due to decreasing grade.
This report proposes that the fundamental transformation of the global ecosystem predicted by the
original Limits to Growth study, has been in progress since 2005, for the last 16 years. The industrial
ecosystem is in the process of transitioning from growth based economics to contraction based
economics. This will affect all sectors of the global ecosystem, all at the same time (in a 20 year window).
We are there now and should respond accordingly.
If the Limits to Growth study is truly a good model for predicting the industrial ecosystem, then the current
industrial practice is inappropriate. The continued development of the economic growth paradigm would
become increasingly ineffective, and a waste of valuable resources. All such efforts would be pushing in
the wrong direction with poor results.
The rules of industrialization and the sourcing of raw materials are changing into a new era of business
model. Change is happening, whether we are ready for it or not.Those who have their fingers on the nuclear button have their assistants poring through media sites and if they see a headline that triggers them….well it is all over for the world.
That such obvious bullshit gets into print and that people presumably beleive it is a very good indication of how stupid the media and it’s clickers have become.
https://www.zerohedge.com/political/fired-ap-reporter-who-risked-triggering-wwiii-actually-did-nothing-wrongFunny, the peeps selling “overshoot,” limits to growth, etc, are the same people that insist any nation with negative population growth figures must accept unlimited numbers of people from positive population growth countries to facilitate further population growth. …thus continuing population growth in countries that would have started shrinking and enabling further population growth in other countries?
Are B52’s flying round-the-clock missions out of Diego Garcia dropping condoms and family planning leaflets on positive population growth countries? Are the streams of migrants providing pressure-relief to positive growth countries being turned back, blocked, to force an end to further overshoot? Is international aid being made contingent on achieving a stop to population growth? Is the machine that demonizes Russia and gloats that its population is shrinking demonizing positive population growth countries at least as hard?
And the “experts” leading us by the nose towards the solution never go first. Never. You first sir. Go on.
All the old hatred is still boiling away . Accusations and denials.

Why were millions of Russians being fed into the Gulag system if it was all merely a prejudice against Ukrainians?
Or maybe the USSR was just running agriculture, storage, and distribution along “enlightened,” new-thinking, “materialist” lines all over ssr-land
So the new territories are full of saboteurs.

Need to fight. But our glorious Ministry of Internal Affairs abolished fingerprinting for newly-minted Russians. This is not stupidity, this is betrayal and sabotage. How much was drunk and received by our glorious policemen in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, history is silent. By the nature of my service, my fingerprints were taken three times for a personal file, but that was done by my own FSB OO.Russian commenter gets it right.

Power in Russia has been bought by the oligarchs from top to bottom, while capitalism has no nationality and only one ideology – profit at any cost! This is the reason for all the failures of Russia. The current Russian ideology has one basis – profit and robbery! What kind of patriotism can there be!
