"Dissent is only ever allowed if it comes from one faction of the elite or another, or, if it is considered unthreatening to the interests of the elite. Dissent does start to build-up during these periods of mismanagement, but the elites deal with this problem by simply devoting even more resources to suppressing dissent. In time, the parasitic nature of a hostile elite and the huge amount of money that they need to spend to paper over glaring contradictions in society have to come from somewhere, and so, key industries and the public purse are siphoned off of and this eventually leads to a death spiral of increased parasitism and increased repression."

I wasn't sure whether Rolo was describing the US, or Russia as the "same" rancid characteristics apply to the entrenched US spook agencies and gangster-like internecine oligarch political battles over which industries, or banks will dominate. However, in the end these job creating monsters are always protected by the hoodlum security state. One might ask if these are governments, or cartels. These brazen shameless marauders might think their time is running out, or to put it simply "the gig is up." They've stolen what they could without being hung by their own citizenry. So these desperate desperados are battening down the hatches via a heightened AI biosecurity state. The clever psychos are, deploying a series of manufactured crises like COVID, the Ukraine conflict, bank runs, etc.. to gain popular consent for authoritarianism. Actually, this is all a continuation of 9/11 which triggered the "War on Terror." A gift which keeps on giving.

In any event, it's the reason the ghouls are enthused about digital ID'S, mRNA injections, central bank digital currency, and chimp killing neuralinks.

The way that "But if we do that, we will be stopped by the secret police." works in the US is via the Patriot Act. After the 2020 elections, people didn't even form organizations, but simply assembled to redress grievances concerning election procedures, expressing popular gripes that a good part of the population felt should be addressed. In the face of such a dangerously unified tideswell of outraged justice, alll the government had to do was unilaterally declare these people "dangerous terrorists", and hey! presto!, in one moment, concerned citizens were magically transformed into violent insurrectionists without Constitutional rights. Thanks to the Anti-Patriot Act.

After the 2016 elections the spooks got concerned as they saw the massive populist outrage expressed from Bernie followers and then Trump supporters. The term "domestic terrorist" was always on these creeps lips. All they needed was a setup like 1/6 to characterize anyone who questions the validity of elections as being a nut job. Btw, back in 2020 the internet censorship heightened. The website Prop Or Not appeared with a list of 200 independent media websites deemed as being in some way connected to Russia. The security state was determined to install Biden. And that's even more the case today. The DNC will have "no" debates. Anyone who challenges Creepy Joe will be eviscerated by the

CIA's attack dogs the MSM. Oh I forgot to mention, long before 9/11 it was Biden who wrote the Patriot Act.

Rolo, why are you so upset with all those trolls? If you were posting nonsense, they would not be targeting you as harmless. Remember, most corrupt politicians/systems abhor exposure. Just don't address them and, unless constructive criticism, block them on your substack and elsewhere as they just pollute. They are easy to spot - they just label people and never address/provide any points/arguments/facts. Just see that example you posted - it's full of labeling (incel, liberal, arrogant, racist, purist, etc.) and nothing else. That is what liberals/SJWs do - label and trash endlessly, as the goal is to discredit/exhaust/destroy and not to debate/discuss anything.

Let your investigative work/research speak for itself. E.g. I don't remember Whitney Webb quoting/addressing trolls and slanderers of her work - she just keeps working/writing and people read it. Addressing trolls, just drains your energy and time, which is exactly what they want.

P.S. Zero sarcasm/cynicism/irony in either articles or comments replies please! E.g. Riley is drowning in sarcasm and it ruined many of his articles. Whitney Webb articles do not have any of that, as she's a professional.

P.S. For some topic suggestions, you could get in touch by email. Riley has it - contact has 'patriot' in its name.

Q: Why have you not banned Adûnâi, Demiurgos, and similar yet? They post nothing but garbage. At the same time it's funny and quite telling how an Ukrainian does not like you pointing internal problems in Russia, like elites' treachery! Why? Well, Ukis do not want Russia fixed, as once that is done, it will be the end of Putin's "partners" including Ukis. Did you know that Putin is exporting diesel fuel to Ukis they then use for the war? Writing about all that yet claiming that it was somehow some minister's and not Putin's fault, will just make you look like putin-5D-chess-judo characters, as that is what they do. Some people on TUR even mentioned you along with Saker, etc. and that's not good for you your reputation as you know.

Also, if you happen to believe that "any publicity is good publicity", e.g. letting trolls post garbage comments, IMO that only works if mentioned in the MSM. PETA is not doing stunts on blogs, but rather downtown big cities.

P.S. I wish you profitable writing Rolo, but IMO avoiding pointing to Putin directly, i.e. the main culprit of all Russia's troubles, will not make people interested in you writing. The buck always stops with one person and people want to know who is that person. Why don't you seek work at some of Belarus patriotic media, as Belarus is not a globalist colony like Russia, and then slam Klaus Schwab's pupil/recruit Putin while praising Luka - the only true leader of the Orthodox World?

Think about that. Thoughts?

I got an offer to go on Belarus tv and talk about how much I dislike the west. Don’t know how serious it was really but I turned it down. I wouldn’t be allowed to say what I really dislike about the west lol. Also, it would get family and friends in trouble so it’s not worth being a public figure.

Patriot's avatar

I agree, going on TV is not good, for many reason, but getting a job there to write stuff for them under pseudonym would be something workable, as you'd stay anon for the most part. Just check with them. Perhaps Riley has some connections there as he has worked for RT and may know people. You already have one nice portfolio here on substack! What do you have to lose by trying?

P.S. I think that the West is broken beyond repair, and cannot be fixed, but their actions should be exposed. Now, most people know what NATO has done to Muslim countries, but very few know what has been and still being done to the OC countries like Belarus, Serbia, Moldova, etc. One of the main reasons is that Western "anti"-NATO hypocrites actually only mind NATO killing Muslims/Asians, but have no problems seeing OCs killed.

If budget has no room, they cannot hire even when work is good. The only way in most cases, as with most roles types in most industries, is to just monitor careers pages for openings and apply. Otherwise, cold-emailing/calling rarely works due to no-budget-no-hire limit. So, I'd suggest just find all media houses sites in Belarus (and other OC countries they may find your work valuable) and monitor. Find small ones too as they may be more flexible and more open to part-time/remote, and please do not work for free to prove yourself to your potential employer as they abuse that to get free work. You have awesome portfolio and long experience, and that should suffice. If not, then it's not a good company/boss to work for. As with everything in life, draw the line and have boundaries. You can send cold-email once, but do not expect much and do not keep re-sending as they may spam-flag you.

P.S. I do not think that substack is sustainable no matter how good one is, as too many things on the internet are free today. It's probably only good for some side pizza/starbucks cash.

No, Rolo for some reason wants people to indirectly figure out that he actually refers to Putin as the main culprit every time he mentions problems in Russia, without mentioning it directly. I do not know why he's doing that - I hope that nobody has threatened him and that Putin's spooks have not visited Rolo.

I also believe that most true Russian nationalists, especially OC ones, are becoming fast aware of Putin's true face and his treachery, while the only people that may get upset with Rolo would be sovoks, aside from the 5th-column liberals and FSB spooks, although many sovoks could also be starting to see Putin's true colors.

Perhaps Rolo could give us his estimates of what groups still support Putin. Those recent poll results (80%) are just garbage IMO. Putin controls everything and has banned criticizing gov officials as well as SMO. That's what traitors do when they sense the end.

If he's really popular, i.e. if polls numbers were not faked/tweaked, that's only because people do not know that he's a globalist and a traitor to Russia. That's the whole purpose of MSM control. He's done close to nothing for Russia except harm in the last 20+ years, past that clean up of those several oligarchs years ago, and even that was done only to protect himself and not Russia.

I was just commenting on her approach to investigative journalism - very professional IMO. If you look at her twitter/blog, there's just information presented and no arguing with trolls and no sarcasm/cynicism, etc.

P.S. Could it be that someone is trying to discredit her work indirectly by using her dad's past, as she's not falling for troll's traps/baits? They used the exact same approach with Julian Assange at some point - they used his dad's past to try to discredit him - if I remember correctly. If you think that she's a spook, what are the tell-tale signs?

Patriot's avatar

Sarcasm is just self-pity - symptom of one's pride hurt by strong feeling of being powerless and unable to change/fix things. It's not only useless, but quite harmful too. It's very common among well-meaning people.

For example, I wanted to post links to some Riley's articles, found some, and then realized that they are so soaked in sarcasm, that they are quite confusing unless one knows everything already about the subject, as he inverted everything. So I had to find ones without it, which was hard and a waste of my time.

P.S. If you do not know what approach to use, just ask your opponents - e.g. SJWs/Antifa/Liberals close to never use sarcasm/cynicism/irony. Now this is not to suggest to follow them in the part where they practice mendacity/propaganda/etc, but rather just how they approach presenting what they want to say.

What I found so strikingly revealing with the Kirby interview, his main problem was that Mr Rolo talked about Solzhenitsyn. He went off like a full gatekeeping retard, similar to Jordan Peterson, who is already scared of the question. "I can't do it".

Kirby was totally agressive, and he treated you like a typical twat who is shilling and defending the system, while pretending to be against it.

Mr Rolo, did you know there is an official Trotsky training camp in Berlin? Look it up.

They also train like "Libyan or Syrian governments in exile" in degenerate democracy for the CIA.

While Russia could be a white haven in the future, i don't think its an option as Russia has the same type of government encouraging Non white immigration and CBDC digital tracking systems as here in the west. This Kirby guy sounded like a big american know it all as soon as he opened his mouth. Putin for years banned and crimilized Pro Russian Nationalist groups and organisations. Praised non whites as saints and when the war started all of a sudden he is pro Russia. I dont buy it, he is a good actor who doesnt show his back side of his tongue in public but he still is a ex kgb man who know the dirty tricks and how to play them. Russia could have won this war previous year if they werent so stupid and full of themselves, or maybe this war is all carefully orchestrated behind the scenes as some real life war-game simulation while keeping the peasants occupied with imminent destruction of nuclear war. Remember this conflict happend almost on queue after covid and the elites said they could do more in 5 years of war then in 50 years of peace.

Dude, this was one of your best ever (and that's saying something, because you've had some great ones)! Some highly quotable passages, like:

"All we, as peasants can hope for, is that we get a strong leader in our corner who is hated by the oligarchy and who needs us as much as we need him."

And

"Speaking theoretically here, once civilizational entropy has well and truly set in, the decline has become terminal. Once a society hits a point where the elite is consolidated economically, politically and ideologically, dissent is no longer allowed. Dissent is only ever allowed if it comes from one faction of the elite or another, or, if it is considered unthreatening to the interests of the elite."

Fucking fantastic and 1000% spot on.

PE Bird's avatar

Not sure if this is overly optimistic, but I think that in a declining society there are by definition too many elites, many of whom are incompetent but were allowed to exist when there were more resources. Now they must be reduced.

So we get to eat popcorn and watch the fratricide.

Maybe organizing and putting pressure on government is effective if we clearly expect to be stopped by the secret police. There must be ways of being a gnat on the ass of the wounded dragon.

Perhaps history is the history of intra-class struggle.

Nice article,sir. You are the truth-canary in the lie-mine. Whenever you reveal a vein of truth the miners and mimers hurry to cover it up and try to throw a shroud over you.

TPTB control everything, but they have corrupted their own creations, so that they cease to function well and provoke ridicule - never a good look for the All Powerful. It is most amusing to see the fuss over the publication of the Pentagon briefing documents. Larry Johnson and Ray McGovern were insistent that in their day none of this would have been possible. Now it seems that its GIGO at the American Intelligence system; ignorant people entering nonsense, compiled by monkeys with super secret stamps, unread by recipients and used casually by kids to settle arguments whilst playing games.

Well, the Westerners are backing the Ukrainians because the Ukraine will soon be no more, populated by Türks. Isn't that worth bearing a few faggot-word slurs?

> "Even more so when the Kiev government was actively inviting non-White migrants into Ukraine at an alarming rate - mostly from Turkic countries."

Do you happen to have a source on that? Because it is my secret kinky fantasy, but I'm too stupid to search for it in reality. I just look at the map, and see 90 million big Türkish men across the pond, and add two and two together. There are also AIESEC connections to Türkiye.

> "When they hear Ukrainians and Georgians and Turks and Kazakhs openly talking about killing them, they think that these people mean someone else."

Paraphrasing Jirinovsky's address to Bush Jr., they will choke under the cubic metres of Asiatic manliness.

But on a serious note, the very fact that money buys so much in the former Communist Empire is testament to the triumph of oldschool Marxist dogma in our lands. We Russo-Ukrainians have internalised our Untermensch status - both to virile Türkish men and to Western Aryan homosexualists all at once.

It's a joy to read the befuddled accounts of Putin boys! Your blog is as schizophrenic as anything a Russophone could find on LifeJournal, but seeing it in English is apparently a blinding sight to them.

By the way, adding to the point I raised in my previous post, here's a brilliant example of Russian cultural Zeitgeist, an interview from the ancient year 1990, given by the future Armenian cult leader Kurginyan about the mirage of national socialism in Lithuania (in Russian, sadly - I have preserved the video purged off YouTube).

https://www.bitchute.com/video/yl6IDtnQe9jo/

P.S. If we're on the topic of schizophrenia, it would be such a sublime dream to see a cohort of Juche Korean demigods straight out from the abode of Agartha riding to the rescue of Russia...

> For unsummoned and unlooked-for Turgon had opened the leaguer of Gondolin, and was come with an army, ten thousand strong, with bright mail and long swords and spears like a forest. Then when Fingon heard afar the great trumpet of Turgon, the shadow passed and his heart was uplifted, and he shouted aloud: ‘Utúlie’n aurë! Aiya Eldalië ar Atanatarni, utúlie’n aurë! The day has come! Behold, people of the Eldar and Fathers of Men, the day has come!’ And all those who heard his great voice echo in the hills answered crying: ‘Auta i lómë! The night is passing!’

> In the morning came hope, for the horns of Turgon were heard, as he marched up with the main host of Gondolin; for Turgon had been stationed southward guarding the passes of Sirion, and he had restrained most of his folk from the rash onslaught. Now he hastened to the aid of his brother; and the Noldor of Gondolin were strong and their ranks shone like a river of steel in the sun, for the sword and harness of the least of the warriors of Turgon was worth more than the ransom of any king among Men.

If you (generic you 😉) care to transfer to radically zoomed-out pov—to filter the signal from noise—all this seemingly impenetrable mess of nested contradictions boils down to existential head-on collision of incompatible cultural master-memes/meta-narratives. That‘s the proper name for the game where improbable opportunistic allyships are made ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Global vs local. Uni- vs multi-polar. Anywheres vs somewheres. Fluid ‘all that's solid melts into air‘ modernity vs thinking patterns & myths & mores rooted firmly in centuries-old tradition. If not millennia-old, that is.

A lot of the contradictions you point out can be explained by viewing war as a spectator sport. The ur-phenomena consists of split populations supporting conflicting sides. Everything else is incidental: the reasons for the start of the conflict; what is actually being contended in the conflict; loyalty and support of the fans and players; even the degree of bloodshed. All these and more are embellishments, that don't necessarily have, nor require, any primary internal logic, but have an overriding secondary function to invoke support or to provoke antagonism. Analyzing why football fans wear green (say) jerseys will reveal as much ideology as any others of the trappings of war.
