"This Zelensky fellow is a mendacious madman who is going to get us all into World War III unless somebody stops him. If our government has any remaining functional brain cells, if the five final neurons are firing at all, they will pull the plug on the proxy war money counter."

Very well stated. Caveat for those still harboring fantasies about Putin as an "anti-globalist crusader": https://edwardslavsquat.substack.com/p/world-leaders-agree-to-cattle-tag

"The Washington Post ran a narrative-resetting story earlier this week headlined, 'Investigators See Ego, Not Money, as Trump’s Motive on Classified Papers.' The sub-headline explained, 'A review by agents and prosecutors found no discernible business interest in the Mar-a-Lago documents, people familiar with the matter said.'”

It seems that Dave Chappelle beat the WaPo to the same conclusion. Perhaps people should be looking more to Dave than corporate media for news and analysis.

Admittedly, it's my own interpretation of Dave's SNL monologue: https://youtu.be/_m-gO0HSCYk

That was hilarious! I even forgot about the pain I have from a very bad and arthritic lower back. Dave makes me laugh more than any other human being, so I find myself excusing him when he says things I don't agree with.

I love Dave.

He's a truth teller like Carlin and Pryor. I share Dave's hope that he remains uncancellable.

He’s a likeable fella, I find him funny in the main. But what was that about Trump being investigated for colluding with the Russians and then we found out HE DID COLLUDE WITH THE RUSSIANS? Dave must have read a different final report than the rest of us. I know that memory hole is constantly, constantly sucking away, but I seem to recall the exact opposite conclusion was reached after a monumental waste of time, effort and national treasure. So, Dave covered his butt with a little dishonest sneak attack on Trump and that I can’t respect.

Dave lives in Ohio for a reason. I'll cut him some slack.

Thank you. I wrote this on the Russia Ukraine affair. The whole is political theatre so I have treated it as such but my intent and summary are serious.

Like too few of us, you noticed the curious events and Bond Villain cast of characters and suspected that it wasn't entirely as represented by media and government. As you stated in the first sentence of your conclusion: "All is not as it seems."

Indeed.

I highly recommend this 'Stack for the content and the enlightened comments: https://roloslavskiy.substack.com/p/lets-talk-about-the-energy-strikes
