This article makes me wonder why I spend so much time on twitter. The pleasure of shouting back at the TV, as Bill Hicks said.

I will dredge up a twitter post I made, that ties Mozgovoi to the West. Local direct action. The hurricane-affected people of N & S Carolina might be an example. Hopefully people will see it doesn't need an acute catastrophe to trigger this example of popular democracy.

This recipe is unlikely to appeal to any oligarch anywhere.

Fantastic homage to the Don Cossack Mozgovoi! It speaks to the real Slavic heart and soul alas the problem with the average Slav, and for that matter also with the average white is that they are soo comfortable in their "sleep" that they just do not want to wake up...and then on one moment ... boem... they will be awakened by a certain ethnic group... awakened and immediately killed as this ethnic group does not tolerate awaken Slavs nor Whites as they are a danger to "their" self proclaimed superiority.

Absolutely nothing of any tremendous import is going to transpire which will set us along the path to freedom from tyranny until after the power has gone out and the grocery stores have been picked clean; until LONG after we have been reduced to what will probably be the most wretched and woeful state we human have ever known. Think of any other epoch where we have languished in conditions marked by poverty, disease and exposure to the elements. Now imagine us there again, only this time with all the forever chemicals and mountainous amounts of plastic debris openly baking in the sun, poisoning every available square inch of soil and trickle of water. Man oh man, did we really screw ourselves by sitting around and hoping for our Fuhrer to magically rise from among our meager ranks and fix it all for us, so we didn't have to be bothered to put the drink down, get off the couch, put on a clean shirt and step outside to take a few punches in order to drive the neighborhood bully off the block. Good show, oh yea men of The Sensitive New Age! As much as it pains me, I have to put myself in this camp as well.

Maybe next year I'll develop some semblance of charm and charisma and convince some of the fat, lazy retards which more and more constitute the crux of my countrymen to pay attention to the role they play in their own imprisonment. Maybe next year they'll stop hating me for wanting to talk more about a prison break then what the results of last night's sportsball game was.

Very inspiring. Would be really interested in a part II.

Mozgovoi's concepts are really interesting, particularly his drilling all decision-making down to the lowest level and eliminating the bureaucrats. I guess in a system like that, it's easy to lose your head literally, as corrupt officials will directly face the people they cheated.

One problem I would see is that of externalities. In other words, the system may function very well internally, but by diffusing power, it becomes susceptible to outside power centers. I guess the prime example of this is the assassination of Mozgovoi. The US itself shifted from the Articles of Confederation, which recognized the states as being completely sovereign, to the Constitution, which delegated the states whatever power was leftover from federal powers. The shift to federalism was prompted by the fact the US was getting picked on by France and Britain and the framers wanted the federal government to have more power for defense. Of course, they were only supposed to offer amendments to the Articles rather than framing an entire new Constitution.

Going back to multipolarity, even if the two poles are heavily interconnected and similar, having multiple power centers gives the skillful players room to maneuver for their own internal choices. Examples are Syria and Iran, where Russian help was crucial for their independence, even if the assistance was handcuffed.

Off topic, sorry not sorry. I wonder from time to time what have they done with Strelkov? Is he just administratively shoved in a box? Is he being charged and tried? Presumably still alive? This memory-hole wants to know!

He's just sitting in a cell. The conditions of his incarceration seem to include some sort of information deprivation and ideological indoctrination (forced to watch Soloviev on channel 1).

And what about Iurie Roșca? Any news at all?

What a great read! Free men, taking care of affairs, quite the opposite of victim mentality, delegating authority. Reminds me of the Stellinga rebellion and Saxon free men holding their ting in the woods. A Widukind figure, in our time.

What "...early Christian revolutionaries destroying native European learning and culture in the name of their twisted and barbaric superstition?" Christian missionaries did not destroy, they brought the answer to life, the universe, and everything. If the indigenous people stopped worshiping trees and rocks, that was their business, but the Christians did not force them to do anything knowing very well coercion is not regeneration. Note the word "Christian" which you just cannot comprehend. The Roman Catholic institution is anti-Christian and I bet the Eastern Orthodox denomination is too. Anything there is a conglomeration of wealth and ornate costumes and massive gold-plated cathedrals with idols and censors and smoke you can pretty much write off any Christian influence. The Christian way is to preach the good news of salvation from the eternal just wrath of God and if you have to use words.

So what are they going to do when Trump gets ellected. He's got this in the bag and his army of alt pundits are out complaining about Ukraine. Trump hilariously talks about the war mongering neo con Cheney and his dub endless wars, supporting Harris

The Jewish American Neocons who have been in complete control of US foriegn policy 30 years are Lukidniks. Alt media is really selling that the neo cons are basically the Cheney's and they support Kamala, so Trump is like totally different and totally against the Ukraine war.

Trump has been friends with Ron Lauder for 50 yrs. Lauder put Netenyahu in power. The Kushners are long time friends of Netenyahu. Trump is more in the club than any other president.

They could make Trump a hero and solidify his image as the persecurted outsider who triumphed against the evil system that wanted him dead. It was a clever ruse

"Putin says Istanbul peace plan draft still 'on table'" . Putin can go back and claim victory by claimng he got NATO tro back down (Which I really don't think the neocons give a shit about)

Obama completely bait and switched the left on war. And I guess the Jews are always happy to kill slavs and if Americans pay for it, why not. I don't see them really wanting to take Putin out anymore than they want to taKe Trump out . Trump and Putin both have the same allure in english speaking alt media. Like they have the same publicity agent

Middle east wars made sense because they revolved around Israel's regional security and/or the greater Israel project.

Does the Ukraine war help Israel's security in anyway? Not directly

Though I suspect they like Ukraine acting crazy

I've had zero luck building a network with like minded people, but actually quite good at building up a relationship with neighbours.
