I wanted to apologize for the alarmism of the last couple of posts on the situation at the front.
I think I argued that:
Russia was outnumbered, still
That Russia had demonstrated an inability to go on successful combined arms offensives
That Moscow’s big plan was to effect a coup in Kiev because they had lost the political game with the arrest of Medvedchuk and now they were planless
That Moscow fails over and over again because of how inept the elites are at anything other than arresting Russian patriots and dumb kids protesting on the streets
That most of the elites were pro-Western until recently
That they are inept and stupid, but good at closing ranks and building nepotism networks and not much else
Anyways, I wanted to apologize again for all that. Russia is about to win this war in the coming two weeks or two months and win it big. Allow me to present my case and to cheer you up a bit.
Exhibit A) a Ukrainian tank getting blown up:
Exhibit B) Arestovych complaining that Ukraine doesn’t manufacture mortars (because they get them delivered from the West):
Exhibit C) Ukraine using old guns:
Exhibit D) A Ukrainian soldier in Bakhmut suffers from headaches and fears for his life:
Exhibit E) Ukrainian soldiers complaining about their treatment by officers:
Exhibit F) a Ukrainian soldier complaining about heavy losses:
And exhibit G) a Lancet being knocked out (maybe):
As you can see, all the evidence points to the fact that the Russians are going to win in the two months.
Now, feel free to send me money for telling you what you want to hear, please.

I’ve been accused of not revealing how bad things are for the Ukrainians and focusing instead on Russia with the intent to demoralize. Clearly, these people haven’t been reading my blog for long because otherwise they’d know that I spent the summer talking about how rough the Ukrainians had it. At the time, they were sending raw recruits to get chewed up on the front lines by Russian artillery to slow the advance.
Did the Ukrainians have a rough time? Yes. But did their plan to trade soldiers’ lives for time and territory work? Also yes.
Were the Ukrainians complaining about unpaid wages, bad equipment, bad orders? Yes. But were they able to mount successful counter-attacks after the Russian advance stalled out by the end of summer? Also yes.
The reason why I am focusing on Russia’s problems now is because, clearly, their problems are critical enough to knee-cap the Russian army’s ability to even defend the territory they have gained, let alone go on large offensives. In other words, Ukraine is able to win large victories despite the problems that it faces. Russia is not.
This should raise questions - only it doesn’t for some reason!
But sure, you can zoom in on blown up cars and Ukrainian politicians complaining to paint a picture of Russia winning this war without even breaking a sweat if you want. Zoom out a bit farther and you will discover that Russia has lost about half its tanks and isn’t making or fixing up enough of them to make up for losses. That Russia cannot use its air force due to Ukrainian air defense. That Russia’s missile attacks have failed to knock out Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and that Russia is indeed struggling to continue producing them. That Russia isn’t fighting an effective “attrition warfare” campaign but is losing almost as many soldiers as they are killing. That China hasn’t lifted a finger to help Russia militarily or financially. And so on and so forth.
But hey, if that depresses you, feel free to just scroll up, read the first part again, and forget everything I mentioned here if it helps you get through the day.
God knows there’s no money and no acclaim in trying to tell the harsh truth to the masses. Seeing as I don’t even particularly like the peasants, I don’t know why I shouldn’t just start lying to them like all the other Russia bloggers and raking in the dough like them too.
Wouldn’t that teach the peasants a better lesson than all my sober lectures and facts-based articles ever could? Taking their money in exchange for telling them what they want to hear and then later revealing the con to them as I make off like a bandit?
More and more I am asking myself: why shouldn’t I just go ahead and do that?
I mean I don’t even believe that universal morality is a real thing, for Chrissakes!
So I find myself thinking: gee, I know just enough truth about Russia and Ukraine to be able to spin very convincing lies …
And then I wonder: wouldn’t it just be easier to pretend to worship Yahweh and declare that he will grant Putin victory in the war because the West is pro-tranny?
Believe me, my dear brothers and sisters, the thought has indeed crossed my mind!
So have the following thoughts: what the fuck am I even doing? Why do I even bother with this? This is a Sisyphean task!
Just so you know, I’ve lost friends over the shit that I write here. I even knew people with their own blogs and contacts with other people with blogs and Telegram channels and Twitter accounts who would share my work if I just praised Russia’s 5D plans to multi-polarize the world and denazify NATO. I’ve asked these people, some of them former colleagues, for a repost or a link or something.
But I broke ideological ranks and so I’m out!
And people in Russia have now started paying for this kind of content too. I’d just have to start using pre-approved MK-ULTRA trigger words like “UkroNazi” or “Banderite” or “Anglo-Saxons” and “Satanists” and rah-rah-rahing about how great and perfect Russia is.
I’m not kidding, friends.
What holds me back is that it has largely been the anger that I felt from dealing with genuine idiots and with people who ought to know better that has given me the rage fuel I needed to write this blog. Pretty much every other post I write is the result of some argument I had with someone and me feeling the need to lay out my position in writing for posterity. I hold on to a vain hope that I’ll be able to establish a track record of being generally right about things that I can point to in the future when the next scam comes along and I find myself, once again, trying to ‘tard-wrangle people into resisting it.
This isn’t a cry for help or something though - don’t interpret it that way.
I am the way that I am for a very good reason and I have accepted my role in this farce. But if you feel similarly and haven’t come to terms with your condition yet, allow me to outline a concept that helps me not hate everyone and which might help you come to terms with your condition as well.
Imagine that:
The people are like cells in an invisible, larger body.
Certain types of people group together like tissues or organs and fulfill a specific function to keep the greater body of the people alive.
You and I are no different - only we are the white blood cells.
The body is very very sick because it is under assault from without and within.
When times were good, the body didn’t produce white blood cells.
Many other cells have never seen a white blood cell before and don’t understand the unique function that we fulfill.
The Body of the People has created us because it is under assault and it needs cells with threat-detection capabilities to find the enemy and organize a defense.
Now, I fully appreciate that my theory is a little bit … crazy.
But if it peaked your interest, you should sign up to be a paid sub so that you can read the series of essays that I wrote on the topic. I think I aptly titled them as The Schizo Screeds. Part I, II, and III.
I only need like 35 more paid subs before I’m making enough money to break even doing my writing. If I can’t reach that number by June, I’m just hanging up the cape and not going to bother anymore. Sorry.
But, don’t worry, I am optimistic and I think that I will indeed reach that number because I can see clear signs that the 5D narrative starting to crack and more and more people starting to realize that they’ve been lied to by the people that they thought they could trust to counter the NAFO disinformation. The Ukrainian counter-attack will no doubt wake a lot more people up.
My hope is to be able to convince enough people to take my analyses seriously so that when the next crisis begins, which I think will take the form of internal turmoil in Russia proper, I won’t have to spend an entire fucking year desperately trying to get my sober perspective out there and taken seriously.
Anyways, I’ve got some good stuff in the pipeline for the coming days.
Send me your hard-earned or ill-gotten gains if you think its worth keeping me in the fight.
Keep up the good work young man. If it's any consolation I'm following about 125 different substacks trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in this world and you are the only one that has been able to hustle six bucks out of me to get me to be a paid subscriber, from my end that says a whole lot, when it runs out I'll re-up for a little longer. That being said I don't always agree with your perspective, but I do think your perspective has value
We only criticize that which we would like to do better.
Or we cheer them on... GO ROLO!!!
