Excellent idea to restate the fundamentals. Don't be afraid of repetition.

And let's hope some new guys become paid subscribers. IMHO, it's totally worth it. How many blogs give a uniquely lucid perspective on the war in Ukraine, as well as a series on the metaphysical roots of where it all went wrong?

Good work, Commander Rurik. Next time, no pictures of black people though (cute Asian girls are fine).

Gracias. After a couple years of following you gratis, this post prompted me to upgrade to being a paid subscriber. I read several of the Z-Anon folks you mentioned plus neo-cons and some of the very few “neutral” intel analysts still in the mix. Always best to cast a broad net when trying to sift chaff from the grain. Thank you for providing context / your origin story. I will take it with a grain of salt, but I will take it.

I was a "casual reader" for approximately one month, after having been made aware of the blog's existence via a commenter on Unz. I believe the very first essay of Rurik's I read included a vociferous excoriation of non-paying scofflaws such as I was for that month. I only hesitated in making the leap to full blown Stalker for as long as I did because I wasn't sure if our fearless Commander was sincere in his beliefs; that was how foreign I found most of his observations and opinions to be. To those still on the fence as to whether or not it is a bargain to part ways with less than $60 of worthless U.S. fiat script for an entire year's worth of some of the most original ruminations on all topics temporal and esoteric you will find on the Internet, I simply implore you to take the plunge. The water is freezing and the totality of our collective hopelessness will surely drown us all before we suffer the ignobility of a ripe, old age. Better to die in the know than live in the not.

Thank you for explaining some of the terms (ZAnon etc.) I do read some of the bloggers mentioned, however your writings are always guaranteed to dispel any wishful thinking on my behalf - and therefore essential.

I hope that you manage to raise enough funds to keep up the work.

Great post, I agree with Leo. Having been raised as atheist Slav in small European country, I probably don't match profile of your average reader. Religious symbolism does not mean much to me. Where I come from, historically relations with Jews or their numbers were not big issue. I do however appreciate your analysis of war and modern Russian politics. There are similar writers on Russian Telegram, but not in Western media sphere

I'm afraid it would be rather optimistic to imagine the Ireland scenario isn't playing out in different forms across the globe, including military conflicts.

Ireland is genocide by replacement for the visually impaired — in larger print.

Truly unsettling scenes unfolding in Ireland lately.

An Irish woman looks on in shock as a crowd of migrants are moved into a taxpayer funded hotel.

This is just part of the war on the White genome, which must be eradicated to prevent uncomfortable truths from coming out.

The Irish government is shaken up by the news that tourism to Ireland dropped 25% in January and 30% in February, with revenue down 31%. The world famous Irish tourism industry is collapsing because tourists have figured out that Ireland doesn't really feel Irish anymore.

Ireland’s tourism is crashing to the surprise of its politicians – economy to follow. Either their brains are rapidly being consumed by the spike protein or they have been bought and promised a seat on the Ark.

Once the locals have been disposed of, with the cutting off of imports and electricity the replacements will rediscover cannibalism and old tribal grudges.

Useless eaters disposed of.

Mission accomplished.

What could possibly go wrong?

How dare you letting the newbies know all the in-crowd language? Not very cult like, is it? I demand more snarky Gonzo commentary on the march to Idiocracy TM and vodka soaked datcha dealings. I'm here for the humor and shaming of priests.

Suggestion: Make comments 'private'. I have strong reason to believe that markets may fall precipitously soon, and would rather share my analysis with those worthy of it. This will be noted in your next private production. BDC

Hello Rolo, nice summary, however, in IMHO it would help your new readers to better understand you, and maybe even more value your point of views, if you would repost one of your earlier (maybe even one of your very first) writings where you explain where you, as a ""Slavic", stand for...for me, as a Slavic, at that time it touched my very soul and it was the turning point to become a paid subscriber and reading (almost all) your blogs and listening to your podcasts! You are a real hero, same as the original Rurik was!

Very good stuff, Slavlander. Remember, Being always morphs into Becoming. For Sentient Beings this Reality can mean Opportunity. Good or Bad or Evil. At his best, Cotton Mather put it simply, "Do Good!" - BDC

I wanted to write something today, but then, better not....one might think that we Stalkers visit people in white, so better not.....I would like to welcome the new Stalkers to this blog - with a song: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoVwFrsU-hQ

You didn’t explain the part about how you live on a farm in what looks like Kazakhstan. Are you a Slav Prepper?

How’s that heretic position looking, with the Christian bashing & rants about vomiting up vodka laden diatribes channeled from “angelic sources”

Too delicious an irony, someone sends you a ton of prospective subs in the middle of that mess. Now be a good boy and don’t make yo daddy in da sky unhappily slap you againsends you 500 subs at a time when you are bagging out h
