From Martyanov

New anecdote from Russia, Madeleine Albright gets to the Charon the ferryman at the river Styx and offers him a coin (one sixth of a Drachma) for crossing the river. Charon shakes his head in disagreement and replies to her: "I accept only Rubles".

Matthew, you've mentioned that NED was banned in Russia which I wish were the case. They've been active at least thru 2021. https://www.ned.org/region/eurasia/russia-2021/...I added up their 2020 expenditures in Russia and it came to $10,778,481 on the ground, a 70% increase from $6,347,976 spent there in 2018. Perhaps the same person who protected Chubais protected NED.

That is very very interesting. I wonder how they maneuvered around Russian laws which did explicitly ban them in 2015 (https://www.theguardian.com/world/2015/jul/28/national-endowment-for-democracy-banned-russia) ... very strange

Maybe Uncle Sam should let all the Aryan Nation brothers out of prison to go to Ukraine. With all their swastika tattoos, they’d fit right in--and Uncle Sam would have less crowded prisons!

The 500,000 children who were estimated to have died in Iraq, the question posed during that interview, was the result of the sanctions imposed on Iraq after the Gulf War, not any direct bombing campaign during that war.

The main reason the empire of lies will always double down is that they know that both the Russians and the Chinese have tons of information concerning many deep state individuals dirty businesses, including murder, drug trafficking, organ trafficking, bribery, child prostitution and a lot more. Both the Russians and the Chinese most likely know who is behind the anonimous ownership of Black Rock, Vanguard and the other opaque investment funds, including the shadowy trusts operating from the empire archipelago of tax havens. They could also spread all they know about 9-11, the Kennedy assassination and so on. The slightest possibility of this information being released to the world puts the core commanders of the empire on the verge of hysteria, forcing them to literaly flood the world with slander, all kinds of shit information, all-out sanctions, escalation, ever growing threats and mass panic. Controlling Hollywood, Mass Media and virtually all the digital animation production, they have legions of script writers able to come up with hundreds of different narratives in a day. Finally, the gigantic spectacle monster the empire has created keeps the people in a fantasy world of echoes they are unable to escape from or understand. Strangely enough, the Russians and the Chinese don't release the information they have as if they still believe in a future arrangement. If they persist in this weakness they will be buried and the evil hydra would have won forever.
