Certainly seems like the walls are closing in now. MoD cooperating with NATO to take out a General who is popular and respected amongst the actual troops. Than there is Surovikin, even if he is overated he too is nonetheless popular...gotta get rid of anyone in the Military who might be able to make trouble by leveraging popularity and authority amongst men who will fight. Of course Prigozhin isn't trustworthy but this all certainly does lend credence to claims that he may have been targeted for assassination. The Kremlin не бросают своих but he crossed the line when he started trying to throw Shoigu under bus and cultivate a real following amongst people the Kremlin hates and fears. I don't think this is just a post not mutiny purge, I think the Kremlin is cleaning house pre surrender.

If surrender is around the corner Wagner wanting to get hell out of Russia and away from MoD makes perfect sense doesn't it? That is guys like Prigozhin and Utkin would know damn well that MoD would start purging to prep the surrender, wouldn't guys like Prigozhin and the Wagner leadership want guarantees? They know what happened to the original Russian spring heros, being a Russian hero is very, very dangerous.

I've seen lots of well meaning Z fanboys gloating that NATO didn't give Zelensky any guarantees. Well Ukraine has about served it's purpose now. Black Rock and Monsanto own the country and there's more future perspective for money laundering, organ harvesting, drug running, etc etc if it's just turned into an even worse version of Albania than some pseudo respectable official EU/NATO country. The official decline from NATO could very well signal that Ukraines services won't be needed to the same extent in the foreseeable future.

Than there is Ergodan dick slapping Moscow. Like maybe he knows as well that surrender is around the corner and which way the wind is blowing.

It's all so cynical and sickening. The Russian troops in the trenches have genuinely done outstanding work the past month. They legit have wrecked the best NATO proxi Army ever. But the Kremlin will not even consider for a second how to capitalize on that and work towards winning a little. No they just want to try and buy some decent surrender terms they can spin to the peasants. Looking back now it's obvious that the Russian troops never had a chance in this not war. With this kind of leadership victory isn't possible because the leadership isn't looking for it anyway. They never were actually.

It was literally all about bailing out Medvedchuck who is no better really than Zelensky or Poroshenko and putting him in charge of Ukraine and surrendering Crimea and Donbass. That's it. There was never a chance for anything good to come from the SMO. Feels bad.

Interesting note that Shoigu may have assisted the Ukes in trying to target Popov. It makes me consider whether some of the several Russian generals killed earlier in the not war were gotten out of the way in this manner. It would be interesting to see how many of them were pro or anti-Shoigu faction, and whether a pattern emerges

Might is not right. Good and evil exist as entities not from this world. But we still know what is wrong.

I am not religious, I just know it. Because relativism is the strongest weapon of psychopaths. Because if morality is power there is no truth. And you can be a man or a woman or Napoleon if you like. And here we are in the next dystopia. So there is something different out there. But I agree that a strong identity is a problem for power. :) For example I know who I am. I know myself. And it is extremely difficult to break me or fool me ;)

Identity is more important than any moral code.

Probably I didn't get the idea. But maybe I did. "Nature is immoral." - you say, so I guess life is immoral. That is just the same... how do we call it? Survival of the fittest using nature as an excuse. "See the sweet lamb eaten by the wolf. Is this moral???? No. But it is beautiful. If the lamb was not eaten by the wolf because of some moral considerations we call this crazy. Or most probably "a woman."" But in this iteration it is a "clash of identities". Or something like that. I have a problem with this ideology because firstly nature is not a concentration camp. Darwinists tend to excuse their crimes with nature. If we were closer to nature, if we could connect and see all of us as a whole not as "wolves vs lambs" I am sure there will be less suffering and more happiness. Even if psychopaths (sorry, the "jews" - whatever that means, but the dynamics are the same as in a psychopathic cult) weaponize morality against the plebs and they do it all the time it is just a fake morality, just a pathology. And as already said - morality is most probably not relativistic. I consider it coming from a source not from this world. In psychological terms this is like an ideal you hold greater than yourself. For exampe - beauty or justice. Or truth. But imo it is more real than an ideal which is also a relative thing.

youre saying that morality is a platonic ideal.

fair enough.

that doesn't mean morality in our world isn't relative and subjective and decided on by religious and political authorities. im pretty sure that you and i have differing opinions on what constitutes morality in a given situation. both of us consider ourselves moral people. thanks to christianity and post-christianity all we do is debate morality.

key questions of identity are suppressed though. i wonder why that is.

In fact I think that the main problem with most of the plebs is a weak moral code AND a weak identity. If we accept that we are living in psychopathic cults most of the time of our history this means that the followers are mimicking their masters - this is how this abuse generally works. All is fake morality. For example - one set of rules for the masters, another for the plebs, normalization of lies and contradictions, talking about "love" but promoting hate, etc. So the followers have no morals but only the vocabulary of the cult without substance. Their identity is replaced with a fake identity of the hero, their God or the cult leader. They can't trust their own eyes or minds or hearts. And so on. But the problem is that most of us are too weak to think with their heads, it is a weakness. I don't know how to fix it. Maybe we can start with some obvious truths that oligarchy is not a good thing and maybe Putin is not our father who will protect us from all evil.

The condition of the normie npc is eternal. No amount of moralizing at immoral people will make them moral. Only moral people fall for moralizing, while immoral people use morality as a weapon against their enemies to get ahead.

Morality will never ever be wielded by the moral against the immoral only the other way around.

Yes, exactly. But I am not saying that you can fight immoral people appealing to their guilt feelings which they do not possess or to their good heart. This is normal people projecting their psychology onto the wrong people or a fake morality installed in normal people with violence, guilt and shame.

Yes in a way. But more real than this and it actually exists. But see. Your idea of morality in this relativistic world is that morality is relative. Ok, but one must still consider something greater than oneself to act upon it, something not so reductionist as food, sex and money. If this is all we are then we are all Putin in a more pathetic form (which is kind of true), because we don't have power and he does. If you have a greater ideal than money, sex and food though you must admit that it is something real or otherwise you are just Putin lying to the plebs to gain power or whatever. How are we supposed to create a different system than oligarchy if we believe in the "values" of oligarchy? The system will just recreate itself. I am not saying that we are better than Putin, "more moral" than Putin. I agree we are the same BUT... if there is nothing else in our world we can't fight it. I agree about Christianity but my opinions are not fixed, I am still trying to clear this thing for myself and I find your articles on Christianity and metaphysics quite interesting. I think the major religions are a step forward than the old Yahweh (Moloch/Saturn - the same thing) cults because they say that Yahweh is not this jealous and vindictive psychopath (which he is, psychopaths are amoral and immoral so... you may say "closer to nature" but I doubt it, they are the pathology not us) but he is "love, hope and peace", which changes the perception of the plebs and helps them fight authority and earthly powers with their idea that they serve only God and not them. BUT... these abrahamic cults still do not have the idea of rebellion, it is just obey, obey, obey... so... I don't know. I don't like them, the plebs too easily fall for the earthly powers who say that they were sent by Yahweh to teach the plebs a lesson or too.

That which makes one stronger is moral. Russias elites are immoral because they weaken Russia. They hide behind morality like all evil doers do and use it as an excuse for weakness. Weakness is the true evil.

Among other things, I learn things every day - Thanks, Rolo, for bringing this arcane knowledge to my attention: Gerasimov's "... psycho-killer sanpaku eyes." ("Sanpaku" refers to eyes in which either the white space above or below the iris is revealed.) Once seen, you can't unsee it.

Do you have any thoughts on the assassination of Stanislav Rzhitsky in Krasnodar?

not yet but it is grim

why is it all russians getting killed off never ukrainians.

what is the fsb doing

Because the Kremlin doesn't abandon or touch their own, and they desperately want to part of that club again. But Russians...to hell with them.

I know you know that of course it's just such a handful of black pills washed down with bleach to see this playing out in realtime.

There are groups like the NJP in the US that openly talk about taboo subjects and do what they can but there are so many intelligence operations, both non governmental as well as governmental, that threaten personal destruction for those involved that organized political dissent is essentially impossible. all political action and public discourse is corralled into a little space.

sorry but NJP is ineffective, counter-productive and fed-infested.

if Americans were serious, serious people not just some radio personalities would be setting up a government in exile.

I agree that the shell "controversy" is way overblown and distracts from more important issues.

BTW, what is happening in the West? The 6D idea that a slow grind works to Russia's long-long-long-term favor is an argument worth some discussion.

Not saying I agree with what follows; I don't believe it is a psyop, but it is held (or at least considered) by many to have some validity.

"We are hurtling towards a veiled Kremlin surrender to the West and warlordism and strife within Russia

Yahweh hates Russia and will make this next century very hard for the Russian people indeed"

And what about Byelorussia if and when that happens ?
