So bad is this situation that the AngloZionists are now funding new “information” efforts to counter-act the Russian propaganda machine and bring some
Note: this concert took place in the same location where Daesh used to film mass execution. When listening to this amazing music, please remember that this is what was taking place here when the AngloZionist backed Takfiri crazies controlled the place: This contrast powerfully illustrates what the AngloZionist Empire stands for and what Russia stands for.

Dear friends, As some of you might have already heard from the social media, Peter Lavelle and Alexander Mercouris have decided to create a new media ressource: The Duran which can be found at http://theduran.com/ Since I consider both Peter and Alexander as friends and crucial brothers in arms, I am delighted to see them team up and create a new member of our “network of resistance”.

Exhibit A: His Op-Ed defending the Asian face – the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) – of a wide-ranging, twin-headed NATO-on-trade “pivoting”. The European face is of course the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TTIP).

A very good video about my favorite sport – freediving – which I practiced for now over 40 years, going from snorkeling off a sand beach at age 10 to freediving in the caves of the beautiful springs of Florida at the ripe age of 45!

Dear friends, Christ is Risen! I have enjoyed a much needed break, but I could not fully forget about the blog and a few current events. Many of you have asked me for my reaction to the meeting between Patriarch Kirill and Pope Francis but at the time I decided not to comment about it. The time just did not feel right and I was not ready for it. However,

by Leon Tressell As a British citizen I was both bemused and outraged at President Obama’s recent lecture telling us how to vote in the upcoming referendum on EU membership.
