I'd like to add that Shaman is like the only pop-artist who didn't flee to Israel.

And he gets called a Fascist for wearing a Russian flag armband.

For shame.

This is just yet another case of projection from the American deep state. Literally every single shady/illegal thing they do they project onto Russia and China.

Since 1945 the US has used groups like the OSS (later CIA), USAID, NED and other CIA funded NGO groups to spread propaganda and undermine the regimes of foreign governments. They just flip the names and say "No YOUR deep state is trying to influence US".

Of course the FSB is nowhere near this competent and if they had half a mind they'd just do this anyway seeing as either way they'll get accusations thrown at them. Anglin on the dailystormer.in wrote a good piece about this today.

At this point other countries should just take these stupid accusations as cues to what they should be doing. China should immediately start sending arms to Russia and fentanyl to America since that's what they're being accused of lol.

Shaman has got so much shit specifically because he is fairly well known and not a cuck. Overall though Im presently surprised by how many lesser known Russian rappers are actually pretty cool. Rolo probably already knows them but рич is a good patriotic rap group who make cool videos.

I first heard about Птаха here when I read on telegram that he was wounded at the front. His rap is just basic Gopnik/that sort of uniquely dark grimy Slav style but its not bad.

Anyway it kind of surprises me that FSB is running any sort of active measures at all but if they were they would do it badly and with the wrong people. They dont even know whats going in Ukraine after all so imagine them trying to figure out the US.

Speaking of spooks Rolo do you much about Lotus? The dude who Prigozhin gave all the credit to for taking Soledar and is always with P whenever he is at the front? Apparently he is ex GRU which means he is GRU. Thats at least what I read in the comments of a Wagner telegram channel but if its true than maybe there is some hope for at least one of Russias spook agencies. Ive seen articles stating he was GRU spetznas at least but not sure about any details but it would be evidence of your thesis that Wagner is a GRU project.

Thanks, Rolo. I didnt understand a word Shaman sang but those were both good songs. I'll look up more music by him.

The rather humorous part of this for me is the American civnats falling all over themselves defending these Black nationalist groups (people that would love to see the civnats dead or enslaved) because rights or something. The vote harder crowd is still in denial. The Imperial Republic is dead; the only question is who will be Octavian in this iteration.

Related to the topic of useless gay spooks:

https://t.me/OlimpicPitbull/694?single

Pitbull here runs of the volunteer outfits like Rusich that is preferred by those Russians with Nazi leanings but arent traitors and would prefer die for Russia as opposed to globohomo. He made a post a few days ago about how Russian mobiki are sent to the border areas with Ukraine where they do see combat and take casualties but they receive no pay, no status as veterans, basically no support in the way of supplies, and they are just basically left to fend for themselves. Strelkov has also talked about it. In the post I linked Pitbull is asking if the spooks who are monitoring his page looking for nazis might also pay attention to the plight of Russias own conscripts on the border:

How do Russian spooks live with themselves? They really as bad as their American counter parts more or less. The Mobiki sol on the border who are regularly dealing with better armed Ukrainian DRGs would be happy to know that even though they can't count on getting paid or their families receiving any compensation should they be wounded or killed at the front which is located in Russia that at least the spooks are monitoring the telegram pages of volunteers who don't hate Hitler enough.

Rolo, this is OT, but do you know anything about what's going on in Sudan? I'm not sure, but it might be a perfect example of your "competing warlords" thesis within the Russian sphere of influence.

The two sides, Sudan Defense Forces (SDF) vs. the rebel Rapid Support Forces (RSF), both seem to be Russian allies, according to Adam Tooze. But now the warlords are duking it out. The main results so far (according to Sarcastosaurus) is that a lot of Soviet-era aircraft have been destroyed, and the people are starving in the dark.

Or maybe the RSF was trying to do a color revolution, but got their asses kicked in the initial fighting (or at least, they didn't immediately take control)? That seems to be Adam Gaertner's take. He thinks that the US and French are disappointed with RSF and they are mobilizing to invade.

Soviet Russia has a big history of funding anti white movements, they basicly turned South Africa into the shit hole it is today. And are indirectly responsible for the massacres of white afrikaners and boer farmers that is still happening today. If i was a Ukrainian i could understand why you look at Russia being the mongol hordes again because Russia policy and Putin basicly panders to the asiatic hordes and actively promotes these people to come to Russia. The problem for Russia is this self serving elite, its basicly no diffrent then the west. Even if Russia would win this conflict with Ukraine they will still be replaced in the end by the Chinese mass migration into siberia and the far east. There are also a shit ton of Muslims in Russia, which they are afraid to touch. Which is also the reason i think they dont promote LGBTQ and gay pride in Russia because basicly all the Muslims and Russians would revolt and start rebellions if the authorities promote this degeneracy and the Moscow elites know full well they cant police everywhere considering the vastness of Russia.

Hello Rolo,

Could this be a move by the FBI to start shutting down the mostly peaceful protests that have plagued the USA since a negro died of a drug overdose in Minneapolis ? And racketeer some Russian immigrants ? What agency in its right mind would use its own nationals to directly contact groups hostile to the US government in the US ?

Thank you for this piece and the many other good ones.

"clandestinely funding and directing the political campaign of a particular candidate for local office in St. Petersburg, Florida, in 2019." This is equivalent to American agents funding and directing the political campaign in some shithole in Siberia.

I'm an Anglophone Ukrainian, only started watching Russian propaganda in the fall of 2020 (the Artsakh genocide), so my view is essentially American (merely with my knowledge of Russian). So, if one ever took the trouble to watch Soloviev✡︎, he would realise the amusing fact that the Russian traditionalist right-wingist White identitarianism is... a gay Western cargo cult! Because it makes much more logical sense to view White = American = strength as danger to the Russian people - hence supporting Black nationalists and the feminisation of Aryan catboys would be more conducive to Judaeo-Russian survival in this model.

It goes without saying, however, that the Slavs are indeed ridiculously misinformed. After all, they seem to have missed the memo that America has no politics (let alone grassroots movements), and that the entire cultural edifice of the Occident consists of worshipping the N-word - yes, my Marxist friends, even to the extent of going broke (the Russian Marxists will keep on trying to find economic interest in injecting boys with estrogen, it's hopeless).

Of course, human pliability has great limits, and the Russians have a knack for equating every Western invader with Hitler. That schizo Armenian cult leader Kurginian can commonly be heard musing on how homosexuals are similar to Nazis in their disdain for other cultures... as if it's not a shared feature of any religion.

The Russians are not Communist anymore, so their propaganda is an impotent joke. But it is a given that all Asians would love to see Westerners die. The only issue is that the Aryans are actively killing themselves, too. Hence why the process has been so successful. But search for no friends amongst the bloodthirsty, racist foreigners! They will put you out of your misery.

Quote: "The opinions of Russia’s enemies matter oh-so-much to them because their self-identity is based on being a moral superpower and everyone else recognizing it. Yes, really. That is how a significant chunk of 50+ adults in Russia conceive of themselves and their role in history and the world political arena. This is why Lavrov can get away with going up there on the podium and talking about how the MFA was simply too kind and fluffy and trusting of the West, which keeps leading Russia by the nose."

What an astute observation! Well-done! It seem that they do not want to insult anyone, and end up being both a laughing stock in the West and not being trusted by the East - China, Iran, etc.

Q1: Do you happen to know the source and the starting point of this inferiority-complex towards the West or cravings-to-be-loved/appreciated by the West? Or is it just plain spinelessness/treachery of Klaus Schwab's pupil/recruit Putin? It seems that either Russia or Kremlin is willing to suffer through endless humiliation (including theft, lies, being made a fool repeatedly, murder or Russian civilians, etc.) hoping that one day they may start respecting them.

Q2: Why are you no longer posting on TUR?

Wow! I'd no idea that Peter the Great had been replaced. Where can I find more about that idea? Was that good for the you-know -whos? I'm getting tired of American conspiracy theories/truths. I'd like to see if the Russian variety is much different.
