I have been limited in posting this week because I have been quite busy. I arrived Moscow early Sunday morning at Vnukovo Airport and was ferried to the Metropol Hotel. What a place. The Metropol opened in 1904 and is three blocks from the entrance to Red Square. Check out the art deco elevator and the amazing breakfast room (just to prove I was in Moscow).
I caught a few hours of sleep and then forced myself out of bed and into the street for a stroll. Given the proximity to Red Square I had to return. This time I decided to visit Lenin’s Tomb. A macabre scene to say the least. But the rest of Red Square is jaw-dropping. It is 369 degrees of eye-popping vistas.
The conference convened Monday morning. Over 310 delegates and special guests representing more than 115 countries. I was one of the “special guests” and one of only 6 Americans. The others included Scott Bennett, former member of Congress Cynthia McKinney (a real sweetheart of a person, plus smart as hell), blogger and podcaster Patrick Henningsen and Jackson Hinkle. There was another great young guy, Conrad, but I didn’t get his permission to publish his name.
I met and had an extended chat with Sheik Imran Hoesin of Trinidad Tobago and with Princess Vittoria of Italy. Every continent was represented. I met the grandson of Nelson Mandela, for example, and congratulated him and the Government of South Africa for standing in support of the people of Palestine.
I made a short presentation to the conference, noting that this gathering to discuss multi-polarity is taking place as the old Western order — the U.S. unipole — is dying out. I am sure that neither Russia nor China imagined that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is 2022 would set in motion a series of events that would lead to the unraveling to the so-called “rules based international order.” The days of the United States bossing around the rest of the world is coming to an end.
I repeated the point I made in an earlier posting at sonar21.com about the rank hypocrisy of Western leaders bemoaning the death of racist Alexey Nalvany while ignoring the murder of Gonzalo Lira and remaining mute regarding the fate of Julian Assange. That comment elicited quite a positive reaction from the crowd.
Russia is the most appropriate country in the world to host a conference on “multi-polarity.” Russia is a living, breathing example of that concept, as the largest country in the world and home to over 190 ethnic groups nationwide. Russia is not saddled with a racist legacy like Europe or the United States. As a “slavic” nation it learned first hand in the course of its history the meaning of the term, SLAVE. Russia is in a unique position to teach the rest of the world how to live and sing the coke anthem (i.e., “I’d like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony”). This is not Russian propaganda nor is it idle lip service. Unlike Coca Cola, multi-polarity is the real think in Russia. Russia demonstrates how a nation can be Christian and still respect and honor the minority faiths of muslims, hindus and buddahists.
The trip was personally gratifying because of the number of people from around the world — e.g, Cyprus, Colombia, Romania, Italy, Myanmar and Indonesia — who asked to have their photo with me because they saw me on Judge Napolitano’s program. And all made sure to sing the praises of Ray McGovern, Doug MacGregor, Scott Ritter and John Mearsheimer as well.
That is the quick dump. I will provide more details later today.
Wishing you all the best & success in Russia – stay safe & healthy and thank you very much for all the updates ☺️
YES!!!
Larry you have shown yourself to be not only a true Patriot, but a Statesmen was well.
Anthony Blinken here…..yes, I have to blow my pen-name on sonar21…..but we are in a crisis and we need people like YOU!!
Step up and officially help your country. Join Vic and I at the State Department to help heal the global wounds the WH has created.
Again, Outstanding Diplomacy Larry!
Seriously, please reach out to me – It is time to talk!
Hi Tony! Say hello to Vic!
Will do!
I think she is baking some cookies in Transnistria or Moldova or some such place today, but I’ll let her know you send your best when she gets back.
President Macron hosted 20 European leaders in Paris on Monday to discuss what they’ll do when Russia starts steamrolling through Ukraine.
The failed Ukrainian counteroffensive has exposed the weakness of NATO. Some leaders are now suggesting activating the long planned Polish-led aggression aimed at bringing NATO into war with Russia.
For 30 years Poland took the bribe of EU money and NATO weapons to get ready as the spearhead for NATO´s final showdown with Russian, but have now gotten cold feet about delivering on the bribe.
Poland fears that NATO won’t deliver on its Article 5 guarantees if it attacks Russian forces in Ukraine, and has good reason to believe that it risks being hung out to dry, like Ukraine.
The Polish Government is hard pressed already by the Farmers blockade against Ukraine, and a pledge to be the next pawn in the NATO proxy war against Russia could lead to a full-blown rebellion in Poland.
However, as Emperor Macron said: “we will do everything needed so Russia cannot win this war”.
This raises the possibility of a false flag attack on Poland, or a color Revolution in Belarus right before NATO’s “Steadfast Defender 2024” drill ends on the 31th of May. If that happens, NATO forces are (luckily?) already in Poland and could just go Live.
The Empire might have enough blackmail on Tusk to have him plunge Poland into a war with Russia.
If that happens, Poland will be left alone to bear the brunt of Russian counter attacks. And just before Poland collapses, the Empire will swoop in and take over the territories lost by the 3rd Reich during WWII.
Is so, it would be the 3rd time in modern History, where Poland is being used as a door mat by the Empire.
Russia has planned for a showdown with NATO for 30 years.
A coalition of world powers has formed against the US and NATO since the collapse of the twin tower in NY, and their payback will be for 30 years of Western Provocations. The NATO instigated civil war in Ukraine was the final tripwire in a string of western provocations.
The reaction by Russia have demonstrated to the world that the Russo-Chinese axis is immune to western sanctions, and have triggered a rush toward BRICS membership and a multipolar world.
The Russian SMO has exposed western lie after lie and corruption week after week for 2 years now. And it is fracturing NATO in a way that the USSR could never have done.
The question is what will come after NATO?
More Order ab Chaos?
Or have the western Christian population finally woken up to their own enslavement to Satanists, and are ready to do something about it, like the Farmers in Europe.
The problem is Macron’s brain-dead NATO with stitched-in Finnish and Swedish brains, married the EU, begat Son of Frankenstein UKraine, christened by Barry O’bama, the Irish President, god-father Boris Johnson.
So UKraine is already in the family, and people chase their tails wondering EU, NATO?
This makes Adams Family values look conservative!
frankeNATOstan has a “mockery of a human soul still more monstrous”. /(original Chap 21).
People are slowly realizing what’s happened…
Sir, please stop writing UKRAINE with
two capital letters. The neural network is going crazy trying to combine the abbreviation of the United Kingdom with the remnants of Ukraine. In Russian it turns out to be Great Britain on the Rhine (and even in bold, huge letters in the form of an ink blot on the page). I’m not the only one who reads this blog in Russian.
OK, how about Banderistan? Great Britain on the Dnieper?
suggest not to get ahead of ourselves in the future, anything can happen, for example, the Londongrad People’s Republic as part of the Russian Federation.
If there was ever any doubt as to which group was behind the Ukraine Debacle, ex-Rothschild banker Macron has shown his true colours (again).
So much for the UK, King Flappy Ears and Bojo the Clown being at the front of the City of London Braintrust, or even the US Bribe’em/Nuland Neocons ultimately calling the shots. The $60billion might happen, it might not…
When push comes to shove, it’s Rothschilds/AIPAC pulling the puppets’ strings.
They must be desperate if they’ll risk showing their cat’s paw so blatantly. Not since Macron and Merkel (WEF Leader grad, 1992) lied to concoct Minsk1&2 to delay Russia attacking, so the Ukie Nazis could build up their US/ZATO army, have the Rothschilds had their minions so openly active.
Add in Nutty-yahoo playing genocidal Gaza “look squirrel!” in the 100+ year old Rothschild Israel Project to distract from the Ukraine Debacle. And the Rothschilds jettisoning their ESG/DEI projects to free up cash to backstop loans the US/ZATO. Don’t forget the massive lawfare push to steal the $300billion Russian Reserves and hand them to the Ukie Nazis.
The Great Reset Project is on the line, and all the marbles are in play. Davos was supposed to trigger more censorship, the WHO more restrictive Plandemic Rules are to be arbitrarily passed in the next couple months.
But the Ukie Nazi battle lines are collapsing too soon. And there’s nothing they can do to stop it, short of sending EU troops to die in the meatgrinder as well.
Why not send the 10’s of thousands of US, Canadian, Polish, Romanian troops already massed at the Ukie border?
The US? Bodybags… think Tower 22. Canada? Ditto, most Canadians have no idea where their troops are, it would be a bit of a shock to have bodybags suddenly arriving… The Poles and Romanians are saying, “apres vous Macron”…
THEY ARE PANICKING.
Hello, Tony,
\I have to ask, who is “I”? You said “Join Vic and I.” First initial of whose name?
Was this an encrypted message? Why else would you say “I” instead of “me” and also referred to “Vic” instead of “Tory” (as all who love her call her)?
Sorry for the confusion ‘ariadna’.
Super busy today with Macaron, Nyet and the A-rabs, EU squabbling and Z and those Azov guys are ready to high-tail out of the project!
“I” will try to be clearer in future when posting.
Gotta run, Cookies is calling…..something about the oven is going to explode??
We really need Larry around here to help us navigate this Democracy spreading thing!!!!!!!!

My comment:
James Cook is writing as if he were Anthony Blinken calling Larry for help.
In this joke, Antony Blinken is called Tony and Vici Nuland is called Vic.
It a common way for people of Nordic and British decent to make the rulers into a laughing stock by creating a Monty Python type sketch where the rulers are doing the opposite of what we know they would do in real life.

When you work with all of the characters (clowns) in this current US Administration, you have a choice; laugh, cry or go insane.
I am certain Anthony follows Larry’s Blog!
No, that would be the job of the “analysts”, who also post trollery to try to divert attention from the guilty.
Blinken will get bullet-point briefings like all the “too busy to read” puppets.
Glad to see you enjoyed your trip! Did you get any souvenirs?
Thank you for the update Larry, my family wants to visit Russia one day. On the subject of Mandela’s grandson and SA, how are the white minority farmers doing, are they still subject to discrimination, rape, murder and looting at the hands of the blacks? I don’t hear anyone talking about that subject, is it because they are white?
Good question, but not likely the person or venue to ask it.
That is precisely why.
I am a South afrrican of Indian descent and also Muslim..6th generation born in south africa. My family members are all ANC aligned and fought against apartheid. My country is absolutely terrible with regards to crime and corruption…and yes we have racists across the entire spectrum. On the issue of farm murders.. please dont listen to all the hype…in the last year alone we had about 48 thousand murders….of which about 500 were farm murders…of these 500 farm murders..about 80 were white farmers ..the rest were all farm workers and other races….so its not a race issue…its an economic issue with racism and poor repercussion and weak enforcement…..I myself have been a victim of many crimes including hijackings and being shot at…..I have also lost cousins who are Indian Muslim farmers who have been killed on their farms…and I have friends and family who have all been victims of crimes..the overly vast majority of victims are my fellow black africans…so yeah…
So the good news is that black criminals victimize everyone. Same as here in the US. Whites were 16% of SA in 1980. Their percentage is now 7%. I’m sure as that drops to 2-3%, things will go swimmingly for them. We’ve seen this movie before. It was called Zimbabwe.
criminals, by dictionary definition victimize everyone.
Terrible situación de anarquía
Really great news! 👍🌹Thank you!
Blink and you missed it. Dang, significant global events (too numerous to mention) are all happening at a rapid clip. I have always wondered if the speed and pace of modern events playing out can be contributed to real-time communications via the internet/independent content creators/social media. Where, historically these events would take decades or centuries to unfold. I would love to read to community’s opinion.
Yes, communications technology has increased the speed with which events unfold… but, unfortunately, human nature remains unchanged.
“There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks where decades happen.”
― Vladimir Ilyich Lenin
That was well before Twitter.
We need the internet to keep pace, Tucker Carlson could have crashed it!
I am sure that neither Russia nor China imagined that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine is 2022 would set in motion a series of events that would lead to the unraveling to the so-called “rules based international order.”
Au contraire. They planned for it. They built what was necessary to make it happen. This confrontation, in one form or another, has been inevitable since the collapse of the USSR, and it is an extension of that confrontation. Putin knew from the beginning, the Chinese have always known it, and they both have been actively ‘shaping the battlefield’ for a long time.
The particular course of the SMO of course has been shaped in turn by the timing chosen by the west, but the ‘meat grinder’ was planned in advance. The ‘slow’ pace of the SMO demonstrated to the world that the Russo-Chinese axis was immune to western sanctions, and triggered a rush toward BRICS membership. It exposed western corruption and lies in a way that a short, sharp victory could not. It is defeating NATO in a way that an abrupt victory in March 22 could not, and defeating NATO is a major step toward defeating US hegemony globally.
Viewing all this as accidental reflects a western attitude of short-term thinking and a lack of attention to material realities as they develop. It reflects a lack of understanding of the structural imperatives of finance capitalism, and an inability to conceive that countries that have been struggling against imperialism for a century or more would understand their enemy by now.
“Au contraire. They planned for it”….
Yes, I believe they did. However, I suspect Russia only fleshed out their plans after they had been duped in to believing the negotiations in Feb 2022 had been in good faith.
How Russian security services did not realise that was in fact what was happening beggars belief…_
A ‘mea culpa’ from former British ambassador, Craig Murray…_
https://www.craigmurray.org.uk/archives/2024/02/putin-history-and-the-mystery-of-national-identity/
“Negotiations” in Feb 2022 have been just for the show.
Do have to admit that Craig is very ‘diplomatic’ in outing himself as a legaistic nazi.
Conan Doyle did the Piltdown Man hoax with French Jesuit Teilhard de Chardin – found the fossil at his golf course. Holmes used opium, hardly deductive, inductive, nor adductive, rather addictive.
The correct method is Edgar Poe’s Inspector Dupin, as the Purloined Letter shows.
Knowing the underlying axiomatic assumptions of how the other person thinks, and being able to literally read their mind, by understanding the blocks that they’ve adopted through their mode of thinking.
The “West” has been reduced to creeping and crawling, (see Poe’s Eureka and Mellonta Tauta), easy for Russia to read their “minds”. The “West” refuses even to admit the existence of Mind, Noös.
NATO is obviously mindless, and mindlessly savage both to members and in UKraine.
Pres. Putin’s remark on Biden – he is predictable – shows Dupin at work. The fact that Russia considers Trump unpredictable is highly interesting. Putin said “Carlson is a dangerous man” because his expected aggression proved wrong, Tucker listened!
Again, sigh…
Carlson already knew everything he heard from Putin (other than the long history lesson). Carlson was told by Col Macgregor weeks before the Putin interview. Carlson’s surprise and “aggression” was faked. Same for his stupid comments about Moscow and subways etc. Trying to avoid being labelled a Putin Puppet.
The Macgregor interview.

As if Putin takes his cues from writers of fiction… Piltdown Man is proof of WHAT about Russia or Ukraine?
Readers REALLY need to see bonbon’s posts as the efforts to distract they are. Filling the threads with noise.
What’s the over/under on the number of downvotes I’ll get from bonbon’s minions and sockpuppets? Enquiring minds want to know…
“As if Putin takes his cues from writers of fiction… Piltdown Man is proof of WHAT about Russia or Ukraine?”
Got my up vote. That sums it up.
Could have dropped the last two paragraphs. Ignore the noise. It distracts from the answer.
The purpose of those paragraphs was:
1) to alert new readers that long-time residents are aware of such noise/sabotage efforts.
2) to make fun at the expense of such trollery… one thing “our betters” can’t stand is to be held up to ridicule. I’ll admit I’m no Carlin, but I do my best.
Really? Half-assed, at best. In his own words:
“In particular, I was complacent in my dismissive attitude to the argument that the Western powers would back ethnic cleansing and massacre in the Donbass, by forces including some motivated by Nazi ideology. The same powers who are funding and arming Ukraine are funding and arming a genocide by racial supremacist Israeli forces in Gaza. It is beyond argument that my belief in some kind of inherent decency in the Western political Establishment was naive.
I apologise.
This does not mean that I was wrong to call the Russian invasion of the Ukrainian state illegal. I am afraid it was. You see, the law is the law. It has only a tenuous connection to either morality or justice. A thing can be justified and morally right, but still illegal.”
Murray has no idea what he’s on about.
Putin/Russia acted in accordance with the Ukraine AND Russian Constitutions. Both are FEDERATIONS, and the Ukraine Federation had LEGAL PROVISIONS for AUTONOMOUS REPUBLICS like Crimea, Donetsk and Lugansk to hold referenda to leave the Federation if the population wished it. The Russian-speaking populations decisively voted to leave Ukraine, and their CONSTITUTIONAL gov’ts voted to join the Russian Federation. The Russian Duma accepted those Autonomous Republics into the Russian Federation.
All legal.
Russian military then moved to drive the Ukraine military out of the newly joined Russian Federation Autonomous Republics, to end the shelling, bombing that had killed over 14,000 citizens, and to end racist and bigoted policies of the Kiev Junta against the citizens of the Autonomous Republics.
No annexation of ANYTHING.
But facts don’t matter to the US/ZATO mouthpieces.
The law is always a matter of opinion, and the winning opinion ultimately belongs to the party who has the power to enforce it.
No, the Laws in this case were clearly set out, unsurprisingly similar given both were once Soviet Socialist REPUBLICS.
Might Makes Right is NOT law, it is by definition usurpation of law. The State is ring-fenced and specifically limited in its use of force against the citizens. Only illegitimate authorities use Might Makes Right in place of limited, legally authorized use-of-force.
The only “opinion” angle is the opinion of the elected representatives who passed the law by right of the Constitution defining the duties and responsibilities of the State to protect citizens against any Might Makes Right attempts by illegal and illegitimate authorities.
Technically, the Kiev Nazi Junta is an illegal gov’t, having overthrown the original elected one by force. Zelensky seized power in an election by promising peace, now revealed to be a deliberate lie, and he also has refused to hold the scheduled elections. Negotiated Minsk 1&2, and Istanbul, then ignored all of them. More thuggery. Ergo, it is an illegal gov’t on at least four counts, so has no LEGAL standing in any of this. And their Might Makes Right attempt is failing as well.
But you can believe what you want, as can Murray. Doesn’t make it so.
I share your opinion of the law in this case, but the ultimate success of that opinion will depend on the power (soft or hard) to enforce it.
Lets’s not forget OTAN’s ‘peacemaking’ destruction of Yugoslavia and attacks on Serbia and Serbs in Kosovo. All UN sanctioned. All under ínternational law.
Of couse that fit the aims of the ‘rulez based ordnung’ so …
The attack on Serbia was definitely not UN approved. The bombing of the Chinese Embassy was, as the man said, worse than a crime, it was a diplomatic blunder of monumental proportion
Excellent summary of the situation in international law. Contrast this with “rules based order” attacking and occupying Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria and now Yemen.
Craig Murray still has not grasped the SMO.
He would not as he is no supporter of Putin or Russia
He’s like a more peaceable brand of Scottish Separatist.

You know if we are expected to be racist against the Anglo-Zionists, how about the Celts and the Picts? Are we forgetting something? The UK is an incredibly ethnically diverse nation. Maybe if we have an Anglophile Conference we would need a Pictophile conference, etc., etc.,etc..

Russian Siloviki started rebuilding Russian military capability decades ago. These technological gains took a long time to come to fruition as did manufacturing capacity.
China chose a path just as the GDR was annexed by West Germany in 1990 – in the years since Chinese Communism built a global economy whereas German Capitalism de-industrialised the former GDR wiping out its industrial base
Annexed? That sounds like Craig Murray.
GDR was wrecked by the assassination of Deutsche Bank Chief Herrhausen on his way to NY to present a Reconstruction based on the worlds leader in Reconstruction – Germany.
When Rohwedder of Treuhand soon after got the same idea a NATO round killed him. Radical free.market aka Shock Therapy done to Russia applied.
Blamed on NATO’s RAF, curiously, just this week one was arrested.
“However, I suspect Russia only fleshed out their plans after they had been duped in to believing the negotiations in Feb 2022 had been in good faith.”
Those negotiations were generally conducted in good faith, with the exception of some of the Ukrainians.
Merkel lied about acting in bad faith, in order to survive and live peacefully her retirement in Germany. Hollande just wanted to appear in the news looking like a team player.
Don’t underestimate the foul environment and depth of mediocrity of political elites in Europe, they lie even about lying to score cheap points attempting to irritate Putin.
The main Russian and Chinese strengths are vast, valuable resources; actual industries; policies that create long-term security for labor, the middle classes, and as many people as possible; and a respectful, anti-imperialist foreign policy rooted in cooperation and not hyper-competition.
This meant as an observation, not critical dismissal. You clearly are observant of unfolding outcomes.
Thinking that you have a bias toward the inedibility of past actions based in deductively working back from present and unfolding events.
No one can undertake any really serious event with perfect foreknowledge and final certainty of the inevitable desired result being accomplished.
Preparation for any serious action is never at the perfect point ensuring success. No outcome is 100% certain.
As the famed logician and military strategist, American Michael Tyson once put it: ‘Everyone has a plan – until they get punched in the mouth.
It is a dynamic, not static. Working backward in deductive method is a dead-end. Conan Doyle was a MD, not a logician. He got it wrong in writing Holmes method was deductive – it was inductive.

There is both uncertainty and chance. The opposite side gets a response. Incorrect assumptions matter. A verb, not a noun – dynamic not static.
I disagree vis a vis Sherlock.Sherlock rarely speculated many times stating in frustration that he lacked facts and evidence to proceed with his analysis.Purely DEDUCTIVE thinking not INDUCTIVE.Sherlock did not make guesses.
Inductive logic is not guessing Try reading the link and get an idea of the difference.

I’m not suggesting that Putin or anyone else knew every twist and turn the world would take since 1991, and I’m sure that plans in Russia and China have adapted to events as they manifest, but the general arc of western imperialism was never in doubt, and the fundamental strategy to defeat it was developed by the Chines in the early 90s (although the foundations were already laid in the 70s), and by the Russians with Putin’s accession to power.
When Putin says that Trump is unpredictable, this should probably be in the past tense, in that Trump’s election was not predictable, and the intersection of Trump’s unknown real desires and the power of the Deep State and AIPAC to force his hand was unpredictable. I suspect that Russia has a good understanding of Trump by now, probably better than his own, and their understanding of the world situation and the constraints on the office of the presidency is much sharper.
However, it’s still true that nobody knows the specifics of events before they happen. There was always a chance that the US would not force Russia’s hand in Feb 22- but there was a certainty that they would eventually, and plans made on that basis. Plans were made for an attack on Kiev that would A) prevent concentration of UKrainian forces to defend Mariupol and the land bridge to Crimea; and B) had the potential to end the war right away, leaving Russia in a more favorable position to prepare for the next round. They were, in other words, prepared well in advance for either outcome. This is the overall pattern. Neither the Russians nor the Chinese engage in wishful thinking. They plan on the basis of material capabilities and interest because these are largely knowable and predictable for significant blocks of time, and they prepare for unfavorable turns of events as well as desired outcomes.
Nor do I make the mistake of thinking the real powers in the west are incapable of this. The fact that very few people have penetrated the American maskirovka of the Ukraine war is evidence of this: The American goals, since the planning of the Maidan coup, were A) to isolate Europe, especially Germany, from Russia/China/Iran; and B) to topple Putin and divide up Russia. B was always a ‘we’ll take it if we can get it’ proposition, and the history of western support for Ukraine shows that they never took the possibility very seriously. It was their version of the attack on Antonov airport.
I am confident that the Russian and American planning for the current moment goes back at least as far as the Obama admin, because I, purely from public media, identified the basics within ten days of Trump cancelling the Iran nuke deal. I’m not Nostradamus, I just understand the fundamental goals of the Americentric global finance elite, the goals of the anti-imperialist axis of resistance, and have a decent understanding of the material capabilities, military and economic, of the various players. I’m sure that people with greater access to information than I have arrived at the same conclusions even earlier- among them, the leadership of China and Russia.
I don’t dismiss the competence of western leaders as so many do. I believe that anyone whose survival and prosperity depends on finance capitalism takes the trouble to understand these things too, and the War Against Europe is evidence of that. They aren’t stupid, although many of their minions and useful idiots are. They are, however, constrained by the realities of the material world, and by the unalterable mechanisms of capitalism. The latter is why at the apex of the pyramid, they are moving toward some form of techno-feudalism. If successful, their control of at least the west would become much more stable.
Incredible how the “West” invent super clever gnomes who run everything. With this at the top, it’s turtles al the way down as they say in India.
These turtles have a $1.5 QUADRILLION paper derivative mountain, and have not the faintest inkling how they got there, nor how to deal with it. And people say these are not stupid!
OK then, who are you saying are the “gnomes” now? If it’s not the Brit Royals, not the City of London/Bank of England, certainly not the FED or the US gov’t… who then?
Or just making noise?
It’s not “some form of techno-feudalism”. They have told the world outright what their plan is… “you will own nothing, rent everything and you will be happy”… the Rothschilds just left off the “or else” part. 200+ years in the making, starting with the Napoleonic Wars.
It’s just some coincidence that ex-Rothschild banker Macron is at the core of the latest EU move to send canon-fodder to the Ukie Nazis to kill? The same macron that teamed up with Merkel (WEF leader 1992) to contrive Minsk 1&2 to buy time for the US/ZATO/Ukie army build-up?
And steal the Russian $300billion reserves to sent to the Ukies?
ya, just happening…
Yes, that’s techno-feudalism in a nutshell. Money ceases to be a tool for realizing profit and concentrating ownership- they own everything, and give people ‘money’ to do what they want them to do, like a Japanese Daimyo paying his samurai in koku. At the bottom of the pyramid, people work because that’s the only way to get food, as you climb the latter you get more, you have more to lose, and thus you’re more invested in cooperating with the ruling power. Active loyalty becomes the chief tool for advancement.
The fundamental arrangement is feudal, but this expression requires technology both for surveillance and indoctrination, and to provide a high enough standard of living even in the lower tiers that there is very little resistance. Instead of being based on land ownership, real wealth is based on the control of technology.
This, btw, is the answer to the unsustainable financial debt bubble. Money no longer has to circulate profitably to keep the system going, it doesn’t matter how much debt institutions have, it will just be written off. The key element is to do away with profit mechanism and replace it with money- and other things- as a pure control mechanism. Bidding wars for goods among the lower classes will be a thing of the past- they will paid enough to buy what they are allowed to buy, and access to things will be restricted by non-monetary means.
It remains to be seen whether this can be achieved or not, or exactly what the forms- and especially the transitional forms- will be along the way, but ultimately that’s the only way the power of the western elites can be preserved.
That’s what Russia, China and the BRICS+ are NOT going to allow to happen. Not without a fight, anyway.
Putin has already referred to the “elites” behind all this, stating they will not survive if WW3 breaks out. I believe that was a direct warning to the Rothschilds, who did not lose one family member in either WW. And probably not in any of the long list wars they caused.
Money (value) in some form has to circulate t o keep the current system operating, otherwise the inflation game doesn’t work, and its built-in endless economic expansion scam falls apart. Capitalism can’t operate in its current form as a steady-state system. It depends on social assistance from the tax-base. Y’know, those $34trillions in US debt, who do you think that’s ultimately owed to?
It may be that the Rothschilds have lost control of the NeoCon Great Reset juggernaut they set in motion, and are trapped in their own machinations. Boohoo.
About all they can do is to stop being the lenders of last resort to the warmongers, but how to do that without tipping their hand as being criminally responsible in pan-generational crimes against humanity? Let alone without collapsing the US MIC money-go-’round that is the sole remaining support of the US$ Reserve Currency Scam and the US economy. Especially now that Russia, Iran and the Saudis (among others) have walked away from the Petro$ monopoly. If all that goes, so goes the foundations of the Rothschild Empire.
The Bribe’ems, Royals et.al. won’t want to take the blame for all this, and there will be no honour among thieves. Debts will be repudiated as odious and un-payable.
The Rothschilds could only demand fealty while the US$ Reserve System and military was in their control and kick-backs were paying the political-technocrat Davos-Bilderberg classes handsomely. It was one thing when the “outsider” Russians, Iranians and Chinese abandoned the Rothschilds, quite another when the Saudis and now BRICS+ are walking away.
Again, they are panicking.
Your answer better explains your assumptions and think I better understand . I understood your post as having a pre-ordained deterministic frame of reference. I can see that was incorrect. I find much to agree with.
A few observations.
“When Putin says that Trump is unpredictable” I take that as maskirovka and trolling by VVP when endorsing brandon bidette is a joke to me based on the 2016 US ‘Russian election interference’ nonsense with Trump.
Agree with your plausible dual reason for the initial Kiev column in 2022. I focused on RF initial intel failure of Kiev collapse making the column a feint to fix ukronazi forces whole the land bridge was secured. If RF intel was correct and ukronazi forces were disolving then on to at least surrounding Kiev would make sense as you write.
Planning certainly can be expected to ongoing, but the assumptions plans are based on are of varying utility. Think that the West in general demonstrates that the assumptions behind the decisions they enact are not based in reality.
It is not, IMO, that there are no Western military or intel capable of providing actionable reality based recommendations, there certainly must be and are. However, the decision makers do not act on them. This also can be inferred by semi-official ‘leaks’ such as Sy Hersh’s Nordstream reporting being possibly the one that got the most attention and coverage.
I do dismiss the intelligence and competence of Western ‘leaders.’ Name one OTANistan leader that is not a sociopathic idiot – Orban does not count as he is in OTAN, but not of OTAN.
Western decision makers are another matter and that is possibly what you meant. Some would have to have some competencies beyond sycophancy. Possibly there a ‘this is the last toss of the dice’ urgency involved as well.
Am of a different opinion on “American Maskirovka” but your point is well made. The updated Mackinder approach has been commented for a long time, the desire to remove VVP for a Eltsin-like puppet has also been clear, as well as the vassiliztion of West Europe. The blowing of Nordstream and offering high priced LNG was a surprise, and certainly there well may be others left.
Think that the West certainly exhibits some progression toward civilizational suicide. The West’s slavish adherence to “The Narrative” results in continual disastrous actions and refusal to change course. The West’s war on their own cultural heritage, citizens, morality, history and industry cannot be ignored in this overall assessment. Whether it is past the tipping point, who knows?
Gaza and West Asia a wild card that IMO, will likely increase the tempo of dissolution of the US/UK/OTAN hegemony. As the stakes rise, the existential nature for RF, China, Iran, Sunni resistance rise. Don’t see them giving up. How far will the West push? Until total nuclear distruction? What mid-ground can the West offer?
The blowing of Nordstream and offering high priced LNG was a surprise, and certainly there well may be others left.
To whom? Certainly to the Germans. I was expecting it, I’m pretty sure Russia was expecting it. I wasn’t even aware that Biden had openly threatened to do it before the SMO even started, but I’m sure Russia tracks all his remarks closely. In the early days of the sanctions war, I had to ask the question- why doesn’t Russia cut off ALL gas and oil to Europe? The answer I arrived at was somewhat layered, but the layers are consistent: 1) Russia sees oil supplies as a kind of ‘fleet in being’ that can be used to pressure Europe without actually ‘leaving port.’ 2) They understand that the war is really against Europe, and see no reason to help the US achieve its goals, and taking the blame for it. 3) the Russians understand that on the basis of 1 and 2, the US will blow up the pipeline to prevent Russia having leverage, and to push the deindustrialization of EU forward as rapidly as possible and try to blame Russia, so the best move is to make that look ridiculous in advance by continuing all contracted deliveries.
Agree with your first point
Disagree with your second. RF is well aware
that the war against them, with China and Iran waiting in the wings for future destruction. Agree that at time Nordstream was blown, there was no compelling reason for RF ending NG to Europe.
Mixed reaction to your third. Think that RF planning certainly would have included destruction/disabling of Nordtream, but there are more rational ways to stop and/or reduce the flow. Explain below.
Think that a sane way to accomplish the same thing would have been to just turnoff the valve and disconnect the the lines. The effect would have been the same – no RF gas. However, that would have kept the OTAN war on a less all out confrontational setting, at least for a while longer. RF just increased sales to China, no lasting economic damage.
Yes, the valve could be turned-on and the connection re-established. But blowing Nordstream was precipitous action of morons. It irrevocably dooms German industry and West Europe until they are free of OTAN/EU/US.
The destruction of Norstream does not further any rational interest of the US in the industrial war they started with
OTAN vs RF. US industrial base is effectively destroyed. A rational actor would act to build-up, support, and harness German production for the war effort rather that kill it. The smart move would have been to use RF supplied NG to
advance it while build up alternatives. When RF cut NG in response, then use agit-prop to increase EU voluntary dependence.
Nordstream destruction also gives RF a card to play in the inevitable, IMO, breakup of West Euro cohesion to OTAN/EU
suicidal slavery to US neocon actions as the pain increases.
I know bidette blurted it out, but who takes anything he says as serious. It seems he blurted decided US policy. Thought his Depends was full and he was looking for imaginary hands to shake when babbled out the US action plan.
You may have foreseen it. I didn’t think that even Vikki the Hutt was that stupid. It does not further US/OTAN interests, just nihilistic destruction advancing the perps own destruction.
Have to believe that insiders within the ‘Blob’ cautioned other actions but were over-ruled. Hence the insider ‘leak’ to inside
spokesman Hersh. There seem to be a real power struggle in the ‘Blob’ that should intensify thru this year.
Interesting timez…
No battle plan survives first contact.
That calls for creative thinking – where will we be soon? Which means a sense of Futurity and what we need soon.
Only a Poet can explain this – Shelley’s Defense of Poetry :
“Poets are the hierophants of an unapprehended inspiration; the mirrors of the gigantic shadows which futurity casts upon the present.”
Futurity, not futility.
Gigantic shadows are being cast, as if from somewhere outside the conferences and salons. This terrifies Oligarchs.
Whose shadows? Which Oligarchs? Tell us oh poetic wise one of the pictures and cryptic comments…
Or just more noise…
Russia’s “red line” are designed as lures.
They announce their “red lines.” NATO dances on them. Russia ignores.
So NATO crosses them…right into traps.
I don’t think statemen can plan very far in advance. The drive in foggy weather, with a just a few dozen m visibility. The West was surprised by the Russian SMO, and Russia was surprised by the West’s reaction after March 2022.
Not that surprising lol Europe’s current affair with the SMO doesn’t really help the US look better in front of China…
Good to know you had an extended and hopefully fruitful chat with Sheikh Imran Hussin, an authority on Islamic eschatology highlighting the alliance between muslims and Eastern Orthodoxy. He is also an old friend of the Saker. Wish you a successful and productive visit to Moscow.
The only thing I envy you is the meeting with Imran Hossein. Such a wonderful and smart person. I wish you did a video with him as a guest. Another person worth the time is Bro. Nathanael. Truly refreshing.
Personally, I do not like the judge because to him his podcast is just a revenue and more subscribers the better. Last show you had with him with Ray left me with a bitter taste in my mouth. Very little time for you both. But,that’s just my perception.
Wish you well.
“Russia is the most appropriate country in the world to host a conference on “multi-polarity.” Russia is a living, breathing example of that concept, as the largest country in the world and home to over 190 ethnic groups nationwide. Russia is not saddled with a racist legacy like Europe or the United States. As a “slavic” nation it learned first hand in the course of its history the meaning of the term, SLAVE.”
This is a hard thing for Westerns to imagine. I congratulate Larry and anyone who can step beyond their cultural limitations and learn to start to see with ‘new eyes.’ The Western perspective is not the only one and comes with crippling blinders and stunted perception of the world beyond the ‘psyop’ and ‘The Narrative,’ no matter how one may be resistant to those, even truly resistant.

My friend, as an American of Slavic ancestry, I can assure you that NO Anglos, French, or any other European living along the Atlantic will EVER step beyond their parochial cultural comfort zones. Their descendants in America prove my view every day.
When CCCP was winning just about every hockey game there was to play, all Americans and Canadians did was make excuses, and say, “Them Rooskies Cheated!” May I remind you all of the “ankle massage” Bobby Clarke gave Valery Kharlamov in the 1972 Canada-CCCP series. Or how Kharlamov just “happened” to skate into Ed Van Impe’s elbow in that January 1976 RedArmy – Flyers game in Philly? Yeah, cheating. And of course no one wants to talk about those two debacles: WHA AllStars vs CCCP home-home series in 1974, or the 1979 Challenge Cup (best of 3) played at MSG. (BTW, I attended Game 2, in the nose-bleed section).
And this is just a symptom of the problem. I was talking to an Anglo neighbor a few years back about WWII, and for the life of him, he couldn’t understand that for me, September 1938 was 5 minutes ago. And this guy is a Princeton graduate, LOL.
Sadly, they’ll NEVER understand until there is an American Stunde Null- which I pray, never happens. As an old man, I’m content to let these pompous puss-bags live in their fantasy world. F ‘em, they’re irrelevant.
Agree that most sure seem to be blindly accept “The Narrative” and are ‘psyop’d’ into somnolence. Try not to waste time with those types.
Think there people who do ‘get it’. The last
couple of decades have provided a lot of reasons to shock people out of their
comfort zones. Any start is a step in the right direction.
Yes, there is still a long way to go. You
might get into some interesting discussions with random, regular people by
mentioning prices, deterioration of pretty much everything the past 4 years,
the worthlessness of all politicians, and then listening. Can hear some
interesting responses.
Talk to these guys, in the USA, Poland, Netherlands, Canada, USA, Spain, France…

Try to do that as often as I can. Buy them a beer and a burger too, and let ‘em talk. Never learned anything while my lips were flapping.
I also saw the Moscow Dynamo play in Buffalo in the mid 80s. Skated circles around the Sabres. Whole different style of play, notably puck control and precision passing. Fascinating to watch for a spectator, but probably not too fun to be trained so hard. But that’s what elevating the art is all about, gotta sacrifice.
This is similar to how the US Centric Olympic committee has a hissy fit, and harrasses Russian athletes at the Olympic games. They can’t take the butt hurt that comes with the bad example of getting whooped on the world stage. That’s why they milked the ‘Miracle on Ice’ so hard for so many years. Take one small thing and run it to death. Like current SMO messaging. It makes very clear that the saturation media messaging has always been there.
I loved it when Sabelenka and Zhang were in the Australian open finals, heads exploded. No one to cheer for. Just pretend it never happened. Just wait until a Chinese guy wins the Masters. It’s coming!
Upvoted on general principles and trends, but the “NO” wasn’t quite fair.
I get such a good vibe from all of this:) Good work and Thanks for representing all of us. I shared this with many on X including Maria Zakharova. She always likes my tweets:) Really…We’re pen pals now.
On 4 February 2022, this was issued, Joint Statement of the Russian Federation and the People’s Republic of China on the International Relations Entering a New Era and the Global Sustainable Development • President of Russia (kremlin.ru)
I have no idea why my comment was made into all caps. It just happened all on its own.

German frigate Hessen mistakenly fired at a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone over the Red Sea on Monday. Both missiles malfunctioned and fell into the sea.
The ‘peinlische idioten’ first claimed that they shot the drone down. After the drone was ID’d as US, then the ‘narrative’ shifted to ‘no, we missed, really!’ Wonder if the drobe was ID’d from its wreckage? Nothing to see here…
https://www.moonofalabama.org/2024/02/peinlich.html#comments
They fired two missiles at a Reaper drone. Both missiles malfunctioned and shot down two drones, neither of which is the Reaper.
After Germany being NordStreamed by the US, nothing is ruled out!
I’d love to see Moscow and St Petersberg someday. Give us some restaurant recommendations ? 🙂
Tucker liked Vkusno i tochka (Russian: Вкусно – и точка).
In b4 they start calling Larry “Leningrad Larry”.
Larry, thank you for representing us, the rational American people. We need Russia and the rest of the world to know that the actions of US leadership do not speak for all Americans.
“As a “slavic” nation it learned first hand in the course of its history the meaning of the term, SLAVE.”.
This had been a huge problem for centuries. Which is why it is stunning that Absolute Czar Alexander II sent his Navy to NY and SF, supporting the Republican Union with written warning to imperial Britain and France. He saw the industrial imperative of the Union as the only way to end slavery; he abolished serfdom 2 years before Lincoln did.
Hi Larry. Thanks for the update. Love the pix.
But 369 degrees? Hope you’re not taking lessons from Annalena. 😇
In any case, I’m hoping that when you return, you can do some essays on how we in the USA. Can live successfully in this multipolar world.
Safe Travels.
Thank God Larry does not need a mask, Some of my favorite restaurants, elsewhere, did not survive COVID nor salaries-and-inflation.
Russia, nine more degrees than any other country!
I’d like to think that the current leadership of Russia has nothing but the noblest of intentions as it concerns the freedom and sovereignty of all peoples on this planet. And yet…something doesn’t feel quite right.
Has anyone else noticed that not a single leader of an industrialized nation, not so much as a pretender to the throne, has come out and questioned the value of Jewish dominance in the most critical of that nation’s functioning apparatuses? Putin is no exception here. Neither is Xi. I think the whole lot of them are setting us up for eventual enslavement. BRICS is just the magician’s distraction. Black Nobility are the ones putting the rabbit in the hat.
Putin and Xi do not meddle into internal stuff of other countres. If you want to have freedom and sovereignty in your country, you have to fight for it yourself.
Putin and the Russian gov’t have severely restricted the activities of oligarchs in Russia. The religious and ethnic affiliations of those involved are of little consequence.
Define your terms… Black Nobility? Who is that, specifically.
The BRICS+ is primarily a trading group, which operates without being exclusively tied to the US$ Reserve Currency System (IMF, World Bank, BIS, SWIFT etc.). Trade in local currencies is being enabled, cutting the hegemonic power the US$ Reserve gave the US/ZATO and their Rothschild Class backers in all aspects of world economics and finance. Again, religious and ethnic affiliations are not major factors.
Interesting. This site draws a lot of haughty-response types, the same sort of blustery beer hall men who have sat around for decade after decade, bloviating about this topic or the other, showing nothing but pure, unadulterated disdain for any new face that deigns to show up, saddle up to the bar, order a round and ask, “Hey, fellas, what’s up?”
These little chat forums at the end of articles really ought to function more as a town hall and less like an in-club where “you ain’t sposed ta mouth off less yous been invited to! An just you watch what you says and how you says it!” Some of you gents are might bit too touchy when someone posts something you disagree with. I think I know where some of the school-yard bullies of my youth ended up.
Nobody here has heard of The Black Nobility? Well, we’re all connected to an Internet server, obviously, and taking the initiative to look things up on our own is what brought us to this site, so if you’d really care to learn more about it, voila!
BRICS+ is a whole lot more complex and convoluted than any of its participating functionaries will let on publicly, of that we can be sure.
In the decades immediately preceding the Jewish-led Bolshevik Revolution in Russia, Czar Nicholas II had to resort to restricting severely the privileges Russian Jews had previously enjoyed, due to the unfortunate plethora of anti-social behavior the larger Jewish community engaged in and its concomitant destructiveness to the Russian society as a whole. The Russian people overwhelmingly supported these polices. It sent a whole lot of the Jewish riff-raff Westward, to other European nations and, for the first time in significant numbers, to the U.S. In the aftermath of the break-up of the CCCP, first under Yeltsin and now Putin, we have yet to see a return to the time-honored Russian tradition of restraining Jewish influence within her borders. My questions was simply: anyone else here notice that? Or does the thought trigger immediately a mental gag reflex, where the utmost imperative is to purge the thought from one’s mind so as not to be culpable of having committed a thought crime of the highest degree? Just curious, gents.
Black Nobility… there are many possible definitions or groups so labelled.
Give us your SPECIFIC definition and assessment of who you believe that label covers. Your “explanation” really didn’t elucidate sufficiently for us poor, dumb readers… wouldn’t want to misunderstand you.
And you DO love your labels.
Haughty? And then you launch into a lofty mix of racist and semi-historical political/economic fog-generation.
Bullies? You might call names and threaten to beat us up after class?
Thought crimes? Give us a break.
You were obviously phishing for a response, and got it. Like the old Python skit… “I’m here for an argument”. The 5 minute or the half hour argument?
I’m interested more in mutually beneficial intellectual discourse with similarly curious minds. Not arguments. I would be out of my element. I’m the sort of guy a beer-bloated dumpkopf would mistakenly take a swing at by dint of the wry smile I allow to alight upon my face when an attempt is made to provoke me into open hostilities by the likes of any number of the inveterately uncouth who slither about our landscape these days. Open hostilities is really more your forte, isn’t it, Mr. Person?
I re-read my most recent post. Came across no having even so much as insinuated that I was addressing any “poor, dumb readers.” I don’t suppose you would consider yourself to be such an unfortunate soul, would you, Mr. Person?
I won’t tarry on at length as to what I have been made to understand is the essence of the current body of The Black Nobility. Finer and more erudite men than i have done all the difficult legwork as regards research, publication and such.
I will provide you with this specific definition, Mr. Person:
haughtyadjectivehaugh·ty ˈhȯ-tē ˈhä-
haughtier; haughtiest
Synonyms of haughty
: blatantly and disdainfully proud : having or showing an attitude of superiority and contempt for people or things perceived to be inferior
I have every confidence that were we to assemble in the same room, you and I, any interested, neutral third party who were to witness such a “meeting of the minds” as it were would consider the adjective to be more apropos a descriptor of your overall comportment and demeanor.
There, I’ve just affixed a label upon you. No, can’t say as I enjoyed it overly much.
Racist? Me? Most definitely. As are most blacks. And browns. And yellows. And reds. As should be most whites. Let’s not forget the Jews, who are a distinct racial class all to their own. Race realism need not be accompanied by hatred. Just an acknowledgement of certain ineluctable truths, mainly that individual members of tribes feel most comfortable when living amongst their own.
Now, then, that will be all. It seems what I desired from this interaction was the mere, quick, 8 minute systems check of my own proclivity toward loss of impulse control. I came out feeling right as rain in regards to my ability to withstand the withering criticism of random malcontents who are more than likely really quite wounded and afraid that no one will like them if they just lighten up and let their soft side peek out a bit from the oh-gruff-exterior. Grrr, Mr. Person! So angry. Grrr, indeed.
Good day, sir.
Answer the question. Who are you claiming are the Black Nobility?
A LONG way to avoid such a simple question.
Had to dig out your thesaurus? And playing the “you’re angry” psychobabble card? Look in a mirror. So THAT’S all you learned from all those hours on the Couch?
But that doesn’t distract from your own Achille’s Heel.
An old joke. “Achille’s mother dipped him in the River Stinks until he was Intolerable.” If the shoe fits…
Thank you for destroying your own credibility on the “racist” front. Saves all here the bother of taking anything you say with any seriousness. Larry’s blog sees many 1,000s of readers PER DAY… and you just put all that out there for the world to see. Too clever by half it seems. This ain’t some comic-book fan-boi site.
And the typical “I’m superior to you” ending. You wish me anything BUT a Good Day… dishonest to the end.
I wish you the Day you have so richly earned.
“I’d like to think that the current leadership of Russia has nothing but the noblest of intentions as it concerns the freedom and sovereignty of all peoples on this planet.”
It is lame to wish for someone else to solve your problems.
Larry, what you are ‘seeing’ in Russia (and China) is a political system where the wealthy are subordinated to the rule of law. It contrasts with the West where the wealthy make and enforce the law via ownership of the political system.
This is the essence of this clash of civilizations: The West cannot tolerate the existence of either Russia or China under their present forms of governance as each provides an example to the rest of the world which challenges the supremacy of western bankers.
Actually that “West” cannot tolerate the “West”.
What you described is called fascism
No. Fascism (or Corporatism as Mussolini defined it, and he would know) is where business and gov’t are essentially the same body.
Russia is governed by the elected Federation Duma, Republics’ gov’ts under the strength of the Constitution, and the corporations and wealth class follow the rules as the gov’t lays out in law and policy.
From 1978 until a few years ago, I visited St. Petersburg and Moscow several times. I’ve always enjoyed the culture and history and arts. My dad’s family was involved in some of that history and my wife (Soviet educated from St. Petersburg) is Russian. We’re both older now but we would love to go back. I doubt we’ll get the chance.
Why not? My wife (who is Russian) and I moved here to Russia 2 1/2 years ago after I retired. I love it here and would not dream of going back.
Words are difficult to find Larry, when I attempt to describe out loud, how much light you have shined upon so many topics in the last few yrs, and inside this post you made today.
Thankyou for allowing people like myself to hear a perspective thats nearly considered forbidden in the West under these current gov regimes.
I hope you’re work, and that of others like you, will bring peace and harmony to all these muti cultural, yet vastly Christian nations one day soon, around the globe.
They are largely Christian nations in themselves, yet muti racial as well, at the same time. I am hoping that this makes it impossible (one day soon I pray) to continue to call us all racist pple & countries, when neither Russia or the United States are so, by large.
It’s clearly a very small minority of these rather boring and trite minded pple, who are attempting to instill division upon us all for political gains-daily. The majority of nations on boths sides of the conflict, are not racist at all. Outliers will always exist, but allowing these ideas to get this far in the USA will be very destructive if not reigned in soon.
Thankyou again Larry, for such great work, and looking to find the truth as best as humanly possible 👍. Your work can help bridge a man made divide that was clearly done by people who rule in governance by creating – this almost treasonous nonsense – that serves nobody. Well, except perhaps politicians, Wealthy oligarchs, from Soros to the likes of many, in the Democrat party.
As that Cuomo guy says, it is good that people meet and have a conversation.
All the more when it is people from different countries and ideologies but who agree in a common point, respecting each other, try to find a common place where to start from building a common future in peace.
You do not have to agree in everything, just hear and respect each other, and perhaps, if it is not so much asking, have some open mindness to take whatever of valid the other can apport for us all to live in peace and prosper together….
It is the oligarchs, bankers and financial parasites and their media and political prostitutes who keep us from doing that by keeping us fighting each other on whatever issue….
P.D: The Cuomo guy, even when clearly harmed, still considers that the “mandatory vaccine” was a right thing to do, because “those were the rules impossed”… by the oligarchs, the bankers and financial parasites, impossed through their media and political prestitutes…and you should obey…even when destroying your economy and your health capital…
He seems to care a lot for his TV program…or should study more and do a bit less gym.
The Hinckle guy, looks also like a strange communists, not having researched the “material” evidence on both “the virus” and “the vaccine”…and their already proved side effects…Marxism is based in dialectic materialism…of all things….
He looks more like that kind of communist of party discipline….Probably controlled opposition so that things change a little but remain almost the same ( El Gatopardo..)…Probably a comodin card on the part of the parasites above just in case a revolution of the masses erupts…
A self-declared communist…in the USA…so freely talking…travelling over there… even in Russia….Strange…taking into account things still remain under CIA control….
Still, if it is for the sake of dialog….wondering how do you manage to get into USA back….
The US is not a democratic country….something both agree in…
I was enjoying their CCP show, until they started both legitimazing “the pandemic”….at that point…. I started to wink…Davos all over the place….
Another person of whom looks to me quite strange that travels freely between Poland and Moscow is Annya…
Especially taking into account that Spanish-Russian journalist, and professor at Basque Country University, Pablo Gonzalez, was jailed in Poland without charges two years ago, and remains incommunicated to this day, when he was going to inform about the first refugees coming from Ukraine, just because he had a Russian passport and some rubles in his pocket…and had already informed about Donbass in the past in a more or less neutral way…
For what it seems, he was in a Soros´ list…which, for what it seems, functions like those others we know, like Myrotvorets, targetting people who try to be free and exert their rights and professions…
What’s destroying the US economy is Derivatives. THE financial virus. $1.5 QUADRILLION nominal value. Covid is a mere distraction. $31 trillion debt is small potatoes.
The super clever gnomes who “run the world” are complete idiots, utterly stupid. And there go the super smart saying these are clever.
Derivatives don’t destroy your immune system and cause or accelerate cancers and reproductive damage. Covid jabs do.
Derivatives are a fancy, distracting name for Fractional Banking. All such systems are one key margin call away from collapsing.
What “gnomes”? Name them… The Swiss now?
Or just more distractions and noise…
I’m an American living in Russia for 30 years (not Moscow). I wish I could have participated in the conference. Didn’t know about it. Of course, I’m not a famous media person
Seattle born / raised, me and my wife lived in Ulyanovsk for two years , a more challenging life to be sure , but I miss it , hated to leave . Lived amongst commoners ( on the poor side ) , in an old Soviet era high rise apartment building that is situated high on the bank overlooking the Volga river and the new ( newer ) bridge.
Wow.
If you need a note taker on your next equivalent trip….
So glad and surprised to see you on the RT set.Glad you get the R-E-S-P-E-C-T you deserve. Hope you had good time. Please let those MIR folks know that some of US USIANS would like to join that “club.” Also glad to read that OUR GANG i seen and appreciated “way out there.”
My landline and internet was down for 6 days and I was in a crisis because I couldn’t hang out with my Chums. It made me sense a deep fear that we dissidents could be cut off from one another at some point. I live in HUD Housing for Seniors where most of the residents BOAST about not watching the news. Even MSM. They watch reruns.
So while I could not see yawl’s faces and hear your voices, I cleaned up and rearranged. I will soon be able to host Coffee [or Vodka} Klatches so a few of us can talk about Solshenitzin’s MESSAGE TO THE WEST.
QUESTION: As much as Russia is welcoming of various world religions, do you know how they feel about their Indigenous Pagan groups? I lean toward the Wild myself, and am interested in those old, old groups. KEEP THOSE GLASSES. YOU LOOK GREAT.
Paca,
Kathairein
What a different world we would have if Americans like Larry, Ray McGovern the Judge or Ron Paul, were in charge! At least Larry and his fellow representatives from NATOSTAN, will remind the Russians that not all westerners are warmongering morons. But he needs to watch out when he gets home. He has a target on his back. I wouldn’t be travelling in any privately owned aircraft for instance.
Thank you, Spasiba, Спасибо, Larry!
Wishing you all the best. Safe journeying.

Taking into account the news on “prestigious black market transplantologists” working on both, injured and dead people, and highly likely also on disspaeared children, in Ukraine, amongst the unlawful state of war in a nazi ruled country, we can guess that this is the most inocent of smugglings happening there on the part of Zelensky´s staff which, moreover, we maintain with our taxes getting the EU ruined in the way ( to the extent our saving must now be requisitioned, Le Maire dixit )..No wonder they all can buy multiple villas in the most paradisiacal and exclusive locations by the sea ( in spite of claimed climate change pressing menace…) in Europe and around the world….
Larry I know how you felt at the Metropole Moscow because I was there in 2015. Spoke to the Academy of Sciences, the major think tank, In the Q&A a senior guy asked me – will there be war. Had to scratch my head before replying Only if the same group of neocons remain in office. Hope you had time to go around the Kremlin and the art galleries for they both just show the depth of Russia’s religion and history.
Keep it up Larry……. and have a grand time.
Larry , how did you go about getting to Moscow ? Last my wife and I looked , due to sanctions , Turkey and Serbia were our only options. Used to fly Aeroflot, Seattle to Sheremetyevo , 10 hours , direct flight , $800 round trip as I recall , but then … US politicians .
Disregard question about your route to Moscow . I see you that explained earlier.
Funny how wartime Russia so easily throws “multiculturalism” under the banner of nationalism and assimilation while in the US it’s just some weapon for political divide-and-conquer.
*Edit: then again, no one said Russia isn’t crafty around wartime either (though it’s not like “multiculturalism” over there meant do whatever you want without assimilating into Russian society during peacetime either)…
Multiculturalism is one of those terms that has been hijacked to mean something other than its simple application. As in, it is enforced gov’t policy, not a normal situation where people from different cultures retain certain non-invasive aspects of their original societies within the country they emigrated to.
The deliberate forcing of mass migrations to avoid wars and “regime change” and cause social disruption in the receiving country/region is another matter entirely.
And who said Russia is Borg-like “assimilating” cultures within the Federation under a “nationalism” banner? Only you it seems.
And you “know” this how? Even though Larry and ex-pat posters living in Russia say otherwise?
Desperate to make a specious point it seems.
Not my problem. I just use the original basic meaning of those terms.
Doesn’t matter who says it. Only matters what actually happens.
And yes, Russia does impose its culture on those living there. Inside Russia you are expected to abide by Russian culture and by Russian rules — you don’t “get a free pass to do whatever you want” just because you’re a “foreigner”.
Oh and there’s a ton of media censorship across the country too. Have you never heard of the 2019 Russian “Disrespect to Authorities” and “Fake News” Laws (Federal Law of 18 March 2019 No.27-31-FZ)?
Never called the Russians “Borgs” but that is already some very Borg-like censorship right there. Hence speaking out “against” or criticizing Russian nationalism will probably not end too well — so, yes, all sorts of cultures can definitely assimilate and flourish in Russia, provided that they abide by all the rules and requirements. Not like in the US lol ; )
Except he doesn’t say “otherwise” anywhere at all! You live in Russia you’re expected to abide by Russian culture and Russian rules. No expat is magically “above” the system. Oh and Larry supposedly went to some “Russophile” event too — so why would he encounter any “inconveniences” for that matter either?
Desperate to jump to strange conclusions by misreading my words it seems
I think you made my points, thanks. Nothing you put forward actually disputes what Larry and the ex-pats wrote, you just repeated your flawed positions.
All countries have laws against Sedition and also Lying in the Media and beyond (as if that ensures truth) to those ends. So What?
My basic “definition”… Multi- many… Cultural- self explanatory.
As opposed to “Multiculturalism” as imposed by gov’ts as the legal enforcement of “rights” and policies beyond those which apply universally to all humans. Specific groups become more “special” than others.
Assimilation is the opposite, where one culture subsumes (by many means) any new emigrants, erasing their uniqueness.
Nationality is citizenship, allegiance to the gov’t of the day, hopefully a functional democracy.
There is one race: Homo Sapiens. A biological fact. Many nations, cultures and ethnicities, but only one race.
Nations that manage cultural diversity the best will do well, those that can’t adapt and accept new ideas will continue to suffer division and conflict.
Great work Larry!! I have to disagree with one point you made. Putin and the modern Stavka knew full well that the US was in a very fragile state (certainly I’ve known this for a good long time). Putin et al has done a superb job of convincing China that it was time to step up and both of these countries have been working very hard trying to manage the decline of the West. That the morons in charge are not cooperating is not a big surprise, they have far too much personally at stake.
