The way Z shills are celebrating Girkin's arrest simply because he told the truth about the war is utterly disgusting and reveals the abysmal moral character of these people. Free speech in it's most true form is simply a way to make sure the state is held accountable for it's actions and can therefore improve it's behavior (it is NOT about distributing pornography). This was all Girkin was trying to achieve and so should have been firmly covered by the principal of free speech. But no, apparently free speech shouldn't apply to you if you are a "doomer".

Sounds like the oligarchs are arresting/purging all the nationalists before their total capitulation to the West so that they don't have to worry about an internal coup. This paints the Prigozhin little manuever in a different light given he hasn't been arrested; perhaps he was in on it to serve as the pretext for this purge?

Bad news indeed !

According to ВЧК-ОГПУ, the volunteer detachment “Whirlwind” was surrounded and disarmed in the Kherson area, by the FSB.

The purge has already started !

Damn they are straight accusing of Strelkov of wanting to do a patriotic Maidan and raising a militia to do so if these documents are real..and I think they are. The accusation is BS of course but this is looks the Kremlin is seriously scared and lashing out. Also they literally said "Patriotic" Maidan.. yes they really are terrified of Patriots. Rolo check out the other names on the purge list, 3 Gosduma deputies..these absolute assholes. They can actually do ideological purges when they want to. What a sick charade. At least the people Stalin purged really were guilty of something along the lines of sabotage or espionage.

Sounds like Strelkov wasn’t spook-sponsored honeypot after all.

According to this dude who runs a decent YouTube channel Strelkov really didn't have any illusions about White hats in the government.

Is it possible Putin is using western Ukraine as a bargaining chip? The objectives of the SMO were to keep NATO out of Ukraine and protect the population of Ukraine that identifies with Russia. Bringing western Ukraine into Russia would cause nothing but trouble and internal dissent. Could there be a deal: Poland gets western Ukraine in exchange for Poland's permanent withdrawal from NATO by irrevocable treaty with concrete penalties? Russia gets the Russian-identifying portions of Ukraine with guaranteed access of Ukraine, including the part annexed by Poland, to shipping ports.

It must suck to be standing in tracks watching the locomotive headlight approaching.

Strelkov complained since 2014 about Russia-Putin's lackluster response, and Strelkov almost made the grade then. Isn't it wonderfful that he's now been silenced, and that Putin and the globalists have the pretend-war in hand.

Back in September 1999, I was pretty convince that the Ryazan bombings were fals flags orchestrated to start the Chechem war. Putin and the FSB were partners then as now, ruthlessly willing to destroy as needed for their political ends. Despite my own favorable inclination towrad Putin, my admiiration was always tempered by this episode. Sadly, at first the Special Op, then the Gamalaya jabs, and now this political repression, are slowly revealing the man behind the mask to be small-minded and ugly.

What goes around, comes around. Is Vox Day likely to be correct in suggesting that the destruction of an American ammunition factory was probably done by Russia?

https://voxday.net/2023/07/18/the-war-comes-to-the-usa/

'It is very unlikely that the six explosions that destroyed a Dow Chemical plant in Louisiana were simply an industrial accident:

A fire at a Louisiana chemical plant triggered explosions that shook homes several miles away and sent flames and smoke billowing into the air, prompting emergency officials to urge a few hundred nearby residents to shelter indoors for several hours and to turn off their air conditioners.

Flames erupted late Friday at Dow Chemical’s plant on the Mississippi River near Plaquemine, south of Baton Rouge. Iberville Parish officials told The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate that the fire started in an area of the plant that handles ethylene oxide, a flammable and toxic chemical.

The sheriff told WBRZ-TV that six explosions were detected at the plant around 9:30 p.m. Friday. Tall flames could be seen rising from the site, with thick smoke overhead. Residents felt their homes shake in Baton Rouge, about 15 miles (24 kilometers) away, WAFB-TV reported.

Ethylene oxide is a primary component of thermobaric munitions, which includes the AGM-114 Hellfire missile, the BLU-118/B thermobaric bomb, the XM1060 40mm thermobaric grenade, and the SMAW-NE antitank missile. While it’s possible that the timing of the plant’s destruction was coincidental, the fact that it took place as NATO is desperately attempting to ramp up munitions production to replace its depleted stocks tends to suggest that covert enemy ops were responsible.

As unpleasant as it may be to contemplate the possibility, the USA is now almost certainly finding itself on the business end of the special operations spear that it has so heavily utilized around the world for the last 40 years. While one assumes the Russians are the most likely culprits, the Chinese have been preparing for direct conflict with the US military for more than 20 years and it is certainly in their interest to ensure that US munitions supplies remain scarce.'

He also still expected Trump to 'cross the Rubicon' even after the military had made it clear they would not follow him.

However, the point is whether it is plausible that the Russians might be discreetly adding to America's difficulty is producing ammunition.

Seems like while the “West (UK-reign) are smashing Donbas in the face, the Ruskies, arriving late to “save” them have just stabbed them in the back? Just an outsider looking in.
