Re: Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th April 2025
Just began listening again to an hour-long Silicon Curtain youtube, because there were a few nuggets I want to check up on .
Jonathan Fink was a student in Russia from the early Nineties, and witnessed the empty shelves and upheavals pre-Putin. He travelled around a lot , talking to older people listening to their reminiscences.
Georgijs Ivanovs' famiy moved to Latvia at the end of the Nineteenth Century, but were still Russian-enough not to be deported to Siberia by Stalin , which happened to so many '100% Latvians'..
FIRST LOL OF THE DAY !
If Trump is in the Third Row, where are Zuckerberg, Bezos, ELON and the other Rulers of the World?

Neat Protocol Solution !
" The funeral began shortly after world leaders had taken their seats in the square. The seating plan was based on a complex order of precedence, with Argentina – the country of the pope’s birth – and Italy at the front.
Other sovereigns, heads of state, and heads of government were then seated in alphabetical order of their countries’ names in the French language – used because French is considered the language of diplomacy. "

This article came out some 11 hours before Putin's dawn speech announcing the Invasion --
The best books to understand the Ukrainian crisis: from Stalin’s famine to Putin’s kleptocracy
How do the oligarchs hide their money? Why doesn’t Putin respect Ukraine’s borders? Edward Lucas recommends the books with the answers
https://archive.ph/wip/6NAXm
" For insights into the Putin regime’s inner workings, the must-read is Catherine Belton’s Putin’s People: How the KGB Took Back Russia and Then Took On the West. The hybrid regime, combining legitimate business, organised crime, spookdom and officialdom, took shape in St Petersburg in the early 1990s, where Putin was deputy mayor. Try to get an early edition if you can — a court case has forced the publisher to soften some of the spicier passages.
Moneyland: Why Thieves And Crooks Now Rule The World And How To Take It Back is an excellent complement to Belton’s inside story. It shows how the Kremlin kleptocracy interacts with the outside world. Oliver Bullough’s book maps the invisible realm populated by Russian plutocrats and their accomplices in western banks and law firms. If you pay taxes and obey the law, you will be enraged — and Bullough’s forthcoming follow up, Britain: Butler to the World, will induce apoplexy.
The big question remains how far the Putin regime is primarily an organised crime syndicate with a penchant for geopolitics or an imperial project that uses gangster tactics. That book remains to be written. "

Re: Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th April 2025
So it turns out the freak who went out and attacked student girls in Leeds with a crossbow and baseball bat yesterday is one Owen 'Oz' Lawrence. A deeply misogynistic far right Anders Breivik fan. Given his stated intentions it's lucky it wasn't a lot worse and it'll be interesting to hear the full details in due course because he seems to have ended up doing more damage to himself than anyone else.
Of course all the usual suspects who immediately jumped to the conclusion the attacker was a Muslim immigrant have gone conspicuously quiet.
Here's his Pinterest page. What a charmer.

What the fuck? Are they also going to be checking for the devil's mark while they're at it?
And what happens if they are found to be autistic or have ADHD? Does that somehow negate their gender dysphoria? And what about other forms of neurodivergence and mental health conditions? Is it only autism or ADHD that can make you trans or can OCD or schizophrenia have a similar effect. If not, why not? Sorry for all the questions but this nonsense begs all of them and more. It's ludicrous.
The right, including the Labour right, have been banging on about autism and ADHD being over diagnosed and yet here they are using them to try to force an inconvenient minority back into their box and make them go away. Which ironically is what happened to autistic kids when I was growing up in the Seventies. The box being a special school or institution. Out of sight, out of mind.
I'll give Labour their due, they've learned all the worst lessons from the Tories and Trump well. We on the left might think they're squandering their majority but if you're a fan of brutally putting the boot into troublesome minorities and undoing decades of social progress then they're an unqualified success.

Re: Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th April 2025
The question must be asked, 'what is a Starmer'?
Because from here it looks like he wants to appear all thrusting and masculine making 'tough decisions' which would imply the possession of a penis, yet all of those decisions punch down at those least able to defend themselves, which would imply a total lack of balls.
Perhaps that's why he's looking increasingly chubby, due to hormonal imbalance eunuchs tend towards corpulence, which of course could be easily treated if he visited a gender clinic.

Optical illusion due the angle?
I saw a shirt on Ebay last week that said it was brown but in the pictures it looked either purple or brown depending on the background (yeah one of those), so bought it for £8 just out of curiosity (it looked nice either way). It should be arriving tomorrow, and if it has indeed confounded my senses I'll provide pictorial evidence.

Re: Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th April 2025
Wow yeah.
Clearly he must have left instructions for that A to be significant.
So let's see. The letter A is a bull in Aramaic, the Greeks turned it upside down but you can still see the bulls face and horns if you turn it back up the way it was originally.
Which leads me to suspect he was drawing our attention to a papal bull, which are documents issued by the Pope.
But which one?
The last one he produced was for a Catholic church jubilee this year dated 9/5/2024. Add it up to 2038 then divide it by the number of pyramids and you get 679.3, which means nothing but if you then split it into map coordinates you get a position in the sea off Norway.
I strongly suspect there's a Catholic Atlantis down there, probably with remnant Nazis who'd discovered it previously and been welcomed by the Catholic church (as they did).
