• Russia and Vladimir Putin

    From JAB@21:1/5 to All on Sun Mar 31 22:11:55 2024
    This must-watch Alex Gibney documentary explains so much about Russia
    and Vladimir Putin

    Russia is not a normal country. That's the obvious and inescapable
    conclusion one comes to after considering everything from the
    country's rigged elections to its army of hackers and propagandists,
    its jailed political prisoners, its strongman president-for-life, and
    the bloody invasion that it launched in 2022 against a much smaller
    neighbor. Understanding how modern Russia got this way, to the point
    that it's a marginalized pariah state on the world stage, is a little
    less straightforward -- but Alex Gibney's 2019 documentary Citizen K,
    which is streaming in the US on Prime Video, is a great place to
    start.

    "The thing I think that surprised me the most about Citizen K, coming
    to this documentary without much understanding of modern Russian
    history, is how it shows that Russia came close to actually being a
    normal country following the collapse of the Soviet Union. The
    oligarchs at the time, who didn't trust that a pure democratic
    election would produce a president aligned with their interests, got
    behind a nobody candidate they thought they could control: A former
    KGB man named Vladimir Putin."

    KGB man named Vladimir Putin

    He was a previous "cold war" intelligence person, and most likely,
    fully indoctrinated in this military/spy based rhetoric.

    In regards to Ukraine, I don't know if related to an economic land
    grab, security, and/or historical aspect(s). Regardless of their
    motivation, the military "thinking" is clearly evident, but a flawed
    execution.

    Putin would be under the influence of his previous "employer."

    Lets
    understand why people hate Jews back then. An upper-class variant/sect
    of Judaism did not accept Christianity as a sect of Judaism. Why?
    Because they were recruiting people from their sect and making them
    smaller and less important. It has little to nothing to do with the
    idea of "God on Earth" or "King of Kings".
    Remember this was late Roman-Empire, and slavery was already
    normalized even before Egyptian times. That being said Christians was
    being hunted down, put the death, or put into bondage. Even during the
    advent of Sual -> Pual did Christianity rose up, and it was messy.
    The later half of the Empire years, when old-Rome ( the Western Empire
    ) fell. Allowed for an age of Christianity. The old-Roman Empire
    slowly converted to Christianity and formed the Catholic Church (
    which literally was the last refinements of the old-Roman Empire ).
    The eastern half of the empire existed for a long time and if anything
    it's decedents are the last of anything that was near to
    "Original Christianity" till the wall fell to Ottoman.

    So put this in your imagination.

    West-Rome is literally Catholic = last of the original Roman Empire.
    Which even included Britain.
    East-Rome was already a strong Christian nation = next thing to real Christianity.
    Real-Christianity = When Christ was walking the Earth for the three
    years he was preaching, despite starting around the age of thirty.
    When Christ left/gone/Crucified/Risen that was the end of real
    Christianity.

    Despite differences, Christianity grew, and after the age of Lutheran
    only do we have anything near to what Christianity should be. However
    Lutheran gave us a clean book. From that was the division from
    Catholic Church and identifying what Christianity is and not what it
    morphed into.

    The various Crusades was times of confusion and most likely as with
    any war, a way to keep the Catholic Church in power, while lowering
    the number of people ( population control ). Mindless and wreck-less.
    Most of the Crusaders themselves caused various problems. It did not
    really benefit anybody outside of keeping Ottoman at bay, and help
    pushing the agenda of real Christianity ( not the Catholic Church ).

    Then of course was the Salvs ( IDK people reference them to slaves )
    and how they formed the Romanov Empire.
    The push west-ward was to use the western front ( West Of Russia's
    capital ) as a defense. This is why during the USSR days people that
    was trustful was pushed out towards the west-side. This eventually
    help with the revolution and collapse of the USSR.

    ...........

    Romanov - is the last of the real nation that was the USSR and Russia.
    They literally was cousins of Germanic and Britannia. In the end the
    cousins did not help them at all. Instead being given the boot, they
    were moved around and then executed. The prophet Rasputin was
    assassinated. First by poison, then via a bullet, and finally died
    after being frozen in water. He is literally the Jesus, Mosses, Jonah,
    Lot, David, or even Paul/Saul.

    Bobby Fisher and intelligent man. Grew up among Jews, he himself could
    have converted. With nobody but his sister playing Chess with him, and
    his father ( who did not knew he was not his father ) wanting to make
    that his "thing". His own mother an educated woman who
    worked on Satellite technologies, eloped with a woman. Chess grand
    champion after exploring Europe, including Eastern Europe came to the conclusion about the reality of why Russia really fell the way it
    did.

    During Romanov, the Empire literally was pro-Christian. Noble women
    did not show skin, and married before sex. Only the lesser would be
    outside marriage. Yes while Jews literally was one of the various
    groups pushed out of the Empire and bullied. You have to understand
    "Things would have gotten better for everybody over time".

    However it is the reality. Lenin himself was booted from the nation.
    He came back with ideas, and eventually used these ideas and more to
    remove the Romanov's from power. During the World-War when Russia's
    king was away, they spread rumors about the family. Made it look like
    Rasputin was manipulating the nation. The Queen who had little to no
    knowledge about running a nation, outside of being a queen, was barely
    helpful when the Revolutionaries ( traitors ) came knocking. They on
    purposely sent people to chant, knowing full well they would be met
    with violence. Because these was men of religion, and all the rumors,
    it caused rioting on the palace.
    When the King and his men came home, a tired worn out military, was
    captured.

    During the revolution ( we could look at "1984" for this )
    many people was murdered, mostly nobles. There was civil-wars between
    various colored armies, but the red won. Even more people was murdered
    for little or nothing. If anybody was suspected of being conspirator.
    Even after Lenin death, Jews was still pushed around, but now it was
    more or less the upper-party and the citizens ( much like North Korea
    ).

    ......................

    Putin ( our present day KGB ) came to power via so called drug-busts (
    see "Alien-nation" ) which was being marketed. Even before
    him coming to power, the former even pushed for him. Why? They wanted
    the Red-Army image, and Putin was the man for the job. Reality Putin
    more or less is a decoy and Russia is being run by the upper-party. So
    even if Putin is eliminated, the next person to rise more or less
    would continue the stupidity he is committing to.

    .....................

    Beyond that Russia is a great place to live. They have farm land where
    people from Africa are making a better living.
    The women are open and normal and wants company. The men are dedicated
    and great students and work-horses.
    Yes going to college is limiting. Yes owning property is problematic.
    Yes without the internet Russia ( most of Eastern Europe ) would be in
    the stone-age of the 1950's space-race. It is a big nation that is
    diverse with many kinds of local people including immigrants.

    .......................

    If I had my life in order, I would buy some property, hang out with
    some girls, choose one, get married, and find fellow creatives and
    make a living in Eastern Europe. But at the same time they are all of
    the world, and in the United States right now. Like Miss Russian Wife
    ( A MISS Universe competition ), or even Russo Radio, and the most
    greatest news channel that is no-more RTV.

    ......................

    Seventy percent of my time on the internet, my method of thinking, was
    probably influenced by Eastern Europeans,
    if not then maybe Japan. Beyond that it is just Vietnam, Amerikana,
    and all the rubbish from the city growing up.

    .......................

    I do not hate these people. I just want them to stop fighting Ukraine.
    Just share the stupid ports. Everybody knows that the upper-party
    needs to go in Russia. That is the sad part. It is like why after
    COVID all the violence and murder, why? These are good people. We came
    out of a Virus-Holocaust and the first thing people want is a mindless
    war. Just like Zionist Israel. Nothing but pointless fighting.

    I love discussing Jesus with nazis and fundamentalist christian americans.
    When I point out that Jesus was a jew, I sometimes, but not very often,
    receive the answer that jesus is ok because god purged him of his
    jewishness!

    This is some pretty sophisticated humour right there! =D

    When it comes to races, I have proof that many, if not most, jews are good people, but the real trash is arabians. Horrible, horrible people! So in
    the current conflict I'm with team Yahve all the way!

    Like those religions who suggest they are NUMERO UNO, there are those

    And politically minded folks like to pump up these suckers and losers.
