"Last season, the award was received by French independent journalist A. Bocquet, now a Russian citizen, who has been covering the hostilities in Donbass for a Western audience for two years now. For the truth about the crimes of the militants of the Kiev regime, he was prosecuted in France and almost died during an assassination attempt on him."

...and then they talk about freedom of expression in the West!

of course the west is going to shut down anything adrien bocquet says and even worse - they will try to implicate him in some type of propaganda reversal.. here are a few examples -

apparently he has a telegram account if anyone wants to follow him..

on a different but related matter - simplicitus gave a video to a guy names jan oberg.. i found a copy to share.. what he says around the 4 minute mark is very important to hear.. the west is throwing a ton of money into propaganda.. obviously they have to shut down alternative voices... i recommend this video...

Thank you james, Jan Oberg was so good, calm, collected and one fact after another. Thanks for the telegram hint for Bocquet, I will add him to the list. Stay well and full of music.

Just finished reading Simplicius and left a comment but have yet to view that video. I can't help but think Russia has a 4th of July gift for the American command.

Just now General Dynamics was on the receiving end of one of those devilishly cunning quantum drones and is doing the Saint Vitus Dance of 4 July.

I second Diana’s post. I’ve learned a lot from your posts and the comments here. I’ve tried at times to go through the comment section at MOA. There’s so much “insider” back and forth and just flat out trolling that I never got much from it.

Karl, I hope you do enter this competition.

I've learned so much about Russia, BRICS and geopolitical issues from your posts and thank you for providing such consistently excellent material.

Best of luck! You deserve recognition for what you do.

Thanks very much, for your support Diana. The hardest test is to figure out how to register.

Definitely you should enter the competition for the prize as you work is valuable.

Pfizer and Moderna would fail the last test, so they are out of the race ;))

Thanks uncle! What continues to amaze me is how all the resurrection has contributed to motivating Russians well before the SMO. The VDNK World's Fairgrounds were in ruins in the mid-1990s but are now all first rate. I need to go back to the 2002-2006 timeframe to see what happened as I wasn't really watching then.

I gather that post USSR there was a feverish anticipation in the public mind of what to do with the enormous Russian nation lest it slide back to crushing serfdom as experienced in the 1800's. This was likely the basis for their comprehension of the dangers of oligarchy rule and embrace of an experienced system man such as Putin. He and his faction brought discipline and clear policy objectives to the political party and rooted out the opportunists. Putin and colleagues were thus enabled to shackle the oligarchs and wind back their theft of national companies. Then he was able to reform the regional / city governments and develop a coherent unified state that people could invest some trust in. Check the work of John Helmer as I gather he chronicled the process.

It was a people's revolution but in a very modern disciplined society and framed by electoral politics. That is the first time such a vast transformation has taken place (outside of Cuba and Chile and Venezuela) and the citizens of the USA and Canada should watch and learn.

Thanks for suggesting Helmer's site. I followed the falling apart but we made our move from California to Oregon in the 2002-04 timeframe and I stopped following much to get accustomed to my new environment.
