A comment on the whole ambience painted by your latest posts. This reminds me of the end of French Algeria.

The time of troubles on French Algeria was marked by racketeering, bombing, and sinister throat slitting by Algerian Arab rebels chiefly against other Algerians, whether Arabs or Berbers, both in France and Algeria. French and other European were secondary victims. The sad reality was that a majority of Algerians wanted to remain in France.

The military effort went nowhere for a few years. It was overtly sabotaged by the Communist party in France and covertly by a large number of Socialist and Progressive civil servants, who supplied information and money to the rebels and took decisions that effectively prevented many intended military actions. Some of the traitors even became ministers in the 1980's.

The 4th Republic became ungovernable and was overthrown in mai 1958 by a military coup initiated by the army in Algeria. None of the reputable internet sources present it this way because it is highly embarrassing and constitutes a very bad precedent. De Gaulle became Prime minister, changed the constitution, and became President. He gave or had to give free rein to the army in Algeria. It worked wonders. The borders with Morocco and Tunisia were sealed in a matter of months, and in two years time the Algerian rebels are defeated, the rebel "army" losing 2/3 of its fighters. Algeria has come under back French control.

The generals in Algeria offer de Gaulle the cessation of conscription and the return of 3/4 of the professional army back to France in exchange for recruiting 200'000 loyal locals as an auxiliary force. The cost of war would be slashed and become quite affordable. De Gaulle even came to Algeria to meet rebel leaders and receive their surrender. De Gaulle ... refused their surrender to the shock of all French patriots.

De Gaulle had decided to turn victory into defeat and to had Algeria to the remnants of the rebels. I stress that he could have kept Algeria or could have made Algeria independent under a government loyal to France but he chose to hand it to the ennemies of France !!! When the generals in charge of Algeria understood they attempted a coup against de Gaulle, which failed because most of the army in France remained loyal to de Gaulle.

The army was purged of defenders of French Algeria. Then the local police and civil service. This started a desperate attempt by French and Algerians who wanted to remain part of France. They had a chance because the rebels had been crushed. But the French police and army crushed this group. They also arrested the leaders of most organised groups in Algeria and handed them to the rebels who killed them. They also disarmed the Algerian troops that had helped the French army and handed them to the rebels who slaughtered them : ~ 100'000 dead. So de Gaulle literally cleaned up Algeria before handing it to the ennemies of France.

A betrayal that is so big that those who have articulated it publicly have passed for madmen. I fear that something similar is in the offing in Donbass and Russia.

Wow, so much for “Based DeGaulle.” Where did you learn all this? Why did he betray the army?

>> Where did you learn all this?

Happenstance. I am French. I met people who had been conscripts in Algeria, people who had lived there and were forced to flee. I heard their stories.

>> Why did he betray the army?

And the country !

The question that no-one asks because no-one wants to find the answer. For the past 200 years France has mostly had bad rulers. De Gaulle stands out as one of the best. Having his posthumous reputation tarnished with betrayal would destroy one of the few positives of the 20th century. But this is not his only betrayal. He also allowed Communists to take over whole ministries like justice, education, social affairs, or share power in the ministries of finance and health. We now live with the Communist morphed into the Progressive/Wokist plague. A true bane.

Archangel, Are you saying De Gaulle was in someone's pay (my first assumption upon reading your post)? Or that he had authentic ("authentic") ideological kinship with the communists? Agreed that he stands out as one if France's best, king among weasels. But maybe that is because that generation still boasted a different iteration of males, and he was able to better disguise his perfidy than the weasels who came after? Have always wondered about De Gaulle.

No. Quite improbable. He lived modestly and left little money to his children.

>> Or that he had authentic ("authentic") ideological kinship with the communists?

No again. But he viewed Russia/USSR as a useful partner to escape the American stranglehold. He left the integrated command of NATO but did not dare leave it outright as he feared a CIA sponsored coup. To warm up with the USSR he had to give the control of some ministries to the Communists. Handing Algeria to the USSR supported rebels was probably a price he paid for the warm up with the USSR and for covert Communist support in France.

De Gaulle's aim in foreign policy was to ally with UK and Germany in order to build a European block truly independent of the USA and the USSR.

In the UK Douglas-Home and especially Harold Wilson were favourable but never spoke publicly about it. The UK had both the atomic and hydrogen bombs but was in economic decline thanks to the success of American undermining efforts. The UK, like France, wanted independence.

In Germany Adenauer and Erhard hesitated but ultimately refused to challenge the USA once again. So de Gaulle's strategy failed. However his Algerian and internal choices have really bad long-term consequences.

Was the UK in economic decline because of US subversion, or because of the heavily-socialized, regulated and bureaucratized government structure the UK took forward from WWII?

The USA forced the UK to abandon the tariff system that protected its trade with the Commonwealth. Its war-stricken industry was outcompeted by the American industry.

The USA forced the UK to pay its war debts, the only country forced to do so. The UK had to devaluate the GBP several times but its war debt was in USD hence the burden remained significant until the USD inflation of the 1970's and 1980's. That money might have not been taxed or spend more usefully.

The USA forced the UK and France to give up the Suez canal, losing another source of income. The USA forced the UK to give up its suzerainty over the Persian gulf emirates which removed another source of income from the oil extracted there.

The bureaucratisation of the economy was actually necessary to reorganise it away from the war footing and to organise it to face the competition of American industry. A pure market economy would have had catastrophic outcomes in the period 1945-1955. They failed to go back to the free-market in the period 1955-1975 which led to the collapse of 1975-1985.

Well what else can goyim expect when we are ruled by well constructed golems? What did you think all those smiling rabbis were doing when they were photographed with the various Presidents?

RS, might Dugin talk to you? He is said to be a philosopher and you might ask him what he means by that term. I looked at the RWA interview with him, which ended with him admitting that although he had been interested in Guenon he had completely converted or reverted to Orthodoxy and now accepts that they have the complete truth about everything, and if he disagrees he is wrong! Those are certainly not the words of a philosopher. One of the Church Fathers I think, said that when he was made a bishop, whatever fables he might have to preach to the people, he personally would remain a philosopher. Why has Dugin surrendered his intellectual integrity?

At least the patriots fought back and got one of them fired. You'd rather win a skirmish than lose one, however little it matters overall.

There seems to be something afoot in the great infowarfare space. Listening to David Icke yesterday he noted something fishy is going on when Elon Musk, Alex Jones & Tucker Carlson seem to have created a mutual appreciation society. The narrative control is now also being illustrated by you in the Kremlin Kontrol network, I have also noted recently new & strange flavours coming from the Alt Media outlets, RT, Epoch Times & others where I’m getting that old Tavistock feeling circa Iraq war Bush & Blair’s reconfiguration of Al Jazeera. There’s smoke here but like Icke have not identified the fireplace. The further down the rabbit hole we go, the more it seems we are in a simulation. Maybe “control Alt Delete” is a project for the censorship police, narrative control of the Alt media for the purpose of deleting any opposition to the “official” position. There’s serious rumblings about this in the WHO. Directive on “future heath emergency “ Keep your eyes open warriors

Who cares? You are one weird cat. I subscribed here because I thought you had a unique take. As it turns out you ramble on about irrelevant BS.

this seems like an emotional knee-jerk denial on your part.

people care.

if a MAGA personality in America criticizing Joe Biden suddenly had his bank account seized and was accused of spying for China on bs charges, you would care. this is no different.

Yeah I hear you. I was hoping he was going to cover how the new Sputnik upgrade is actually a sekret fertility booster specifically designed for East Slavs. According to Saker and Orlov who have proven right about everything so far after the 3rd booster Russian men will be able to get Russian women pregnant via their госуслуги applications on their smart phones using their vaccination QR codes. Also to actually get your госулуги account up and running you need to submit your banking information. This finally explains the actual reasons why Russia has gone along with the Covid hoax and how the digital concentration camp is actually a very clever plot to check mate the globalist and massively boost Russias East Slavic poor fertility levels. It's fucking brilliant.

But no instead Rurik covers the crap about what Russian Patriotic bloggers in Russia and on the front are talking about that no cares about because it was true Martyanov who has been right about everything so far would have covered it.

It couldn't be more relevant. I'm wondering if you understand what else you are reading here, because the whole blog is about Russia supposedly the savior of patriotism yet doing the exact opposite.

The same could be said of Trump who abandoned the January 6ers and Julian Assange whilst pushing the covid narrative.

Don't give up on Rurik Skywalker. This blog is unique and his perspective matches exactly what is going
