I can hardly wait to hear about Boris Yeltsin’s drug trips in Big Sur, California.... and whether Stalin was really a Pakistani. I hope a photo expose will be attached.

That being said, it's difficult to know what's true and what's fictitious as the infowars heighten. The pen might be mightier than the sword, but a dubious protracted military conflict is resulting in the needless slaughter of hundreds of thousands on both sides.

Oh btw, it might be interesting to also discuss how Zelensky said that after the conflict is over the plan is to build China-style Ukrainian digitalized 15 minute biosecuity surveillance smart cities. Sounds like a real tourist attraction, if you happen to be a masochist. 😁

Rolo you ever watch Brigada? When the main protagonist/bandit tells an old spook that he wants to go clean and do honest work the spook replies "you cant do honest work in Russia, you can only survive". Nobody in Russia with any influence or means to effect change are clean. None of them have hands that smell like clean rain on a crisp autumn morning with a hint of cinnamon. Maybe Strelkovs do but Strelkov has no influence or power despite his many followers.

If the SMO is to Russia what the Trump presidency was to America than its not about "is Prigozhin based and redpilled and our guy" its just that Prigozhin is in the role of ripping back the curtain. Complaining that the guy ripping back the rotten curtain left some dirty finger prints on it is missing the whole point.

Prigozhin is a thug, he is at home amongst Oligarchs and cut throat former GRU spetznas with neck tats, and sure we shouldnt confuse him with a good example for children to aspire to. Anyone saying "dude you think Prigozhin is the savior of Russia" is just setting up a familiar straw man. Prigozhin has even round about admitted he exists because of corruption, he has said Wagner is the result of MoDs uselessness.

Basically he really is the black clown, he is a creature that could have only emerged from the Kremlin swamp. You shouldn't unreservedly trust such a creature but you can still clap when he makes other swamp creatures squirm and maybe even eats some them.

Good piece, Rolo. I look forward to your future deep dives. Stalin a Pakistani? I thought he was a Georgian bandit. You're right that things are flying fast and furious. The Western lugenpresse is awash with stories of how woefully unprepared the Ukrainians are so I would expect the offensive to begin soon.

Prigozhin has been ratcheting up the pressure on the MoD for a few months now. Wagner seems to be the only competent force for the Russians so there definitely is some sort of endgame here besides burning domestic bridges. At what level does the rot stop in the MoD? Are there disgruntled flag officers serving in the PMC?

I urge every susbscriber of this pearly blog to start asking all the alt media shows/ hosts to interview Rolo and link Rolo' s articles. I have written to many but so far only tnt radio was a sucess. Please write on tnt radio as well, they have a special form on different shows and link Rolo.

Hi Rolo, you're one of my few daily must-reads - you're doing amazing work. I referenced you multiple times in my post today questioning whether the whole war is controlled from above on both sides: https://neofeudalreview.substack.com/p/how-real-is-the-russiaukraine-war?sd=pf

Hi Rolo, I can swamp you with something else. Progress has been made on the brain-computer interface. One can now read language related thoughts and synthesise them in voice or in text.

OK. You still need MRI recordings. But the feat is amazing.

I read this stuff closely, so usually a few days behind. But it struck me that - from a few days ago: the prevention of "the possibility of a 200 million strong slavic competitor re-emerging" counts as an on the bright side scenario. The neo -cons are much more ambitious than that; are readers familiar with the maps of post-Russia that are out there? several different versions; here is one in Russian:

"... an open call for a “decolonized,” “de-imperialized,” “de-Putinified” Russia and accompanied it with a proposed map of a Russia disintegrated into 34 republics ..."

Here is almost the same in English - ah! - but here accelerated to "2023" and "41" republics and with proposed language reform: Northern Eurasia

Rolo needs to grab Marko and threaten him with court-martial if he doesn't return to our common fight by the end of the month.

I saw the article about Kazakhstan, but turning it into a NATO puppet state would not be so easy since it is surrounded by China, Afghanistan, and Iran. The only way out is across the Caspian then having to pay two counties transit fees, too expensive. A block on a transit of Kazakhstan exports would collapse it.

As I remember remember reading fromyou or someothercrediblesourcehe is an assetofthe GRU

Some questions for later:

Prigozhin doesn’t strike as the suffering martyr type. If he is being so bold as to attack the MoD and governors and other powerful people, that means that he thinks he won’t be killed off. Who does he have in his corner? I doubt that it is Putin. Is he just bold and fearless or does he have something up his sleeve?

How is it that Prigozhin is finding out just now how badly the MoD is run? Wasn’t he close enough to power to be privy to this information earlier

Jack Heart has noticed and cross posted your last couple of articles. In my opinion he is a more powerful writer than Escobar, although his topics are more esoteric.

I would like to see some comment on komsomolskaya pravda which I use for news and generally I believe in it. Please tell me if I should or should not.

Here is the link I got today:

And where is this Strelkov? Can I get a link to his postings?

The great Ukrainian counter-offensive began......& then ended 2 hours later.
