It Is Not Just In Yekaterinburg.

Russia is (finally) finishing off ethnic (this time Azeri) "diaspora" which is a euphemism for organized crime groups. Here is the arrest of the "boss" of Ural "diaspora" who, naturally, controls free farmers' markets in the area and is accused of a series of homicides going back as far as 1990s. 

But that is not just Yekaterinburg, Voronezh also joined the chat and it begins to look as a massive operation across Russia where ethnic mafias are beginning to live in a new paradigm. This has nothing to do with hundreds of thousands of regular Azerbaijanis, many of who are law abiding Russia's citizens, but the signal to ethnic organized crime groups is clear. 

Official Baku decided to go, for now, head to head with Russia, including jailing Russian citizens, correspondents of Baku bureau of Sputnik. 

According to Azerbaijani media, a total of seven suspects have been detained in the case involving the Russian journalists. However, only the senior editors ended up in pre-trial custody. The case reportedly involves multiple offenses, including fraud, illegal business dealings and money laundering. Shortly after the raid on the Sputnik office, Russia’s Foreign Ministry summoned Azerbaijani Ambassador Rakhman Mustafaev, citing “Baku’s hostile actions and the unlawful detention of Russian journalists.” 

Well, wrong move. Russia is completely independent in every single respect from Azerbaijan, while the same cannot be stated for official Baku. Especially, when suddenly some "rumors" (wink, wink) begin to circulate that some drones, both against Iran and Russia, could have been launched from the territory of Azerbaijan. So, we know how it will go if things do not change in official Baku attitude. If Baku thinks that its close relations with Turkey are somehow any kind of assurances--wrong assessment. And pissing off Iran, boy ... well Azerbaijani political top can call on whatever they want, but the weight categories are so incomparable that I would rather get myself a bucket of pop-corn.  

Meanwhile, bank teller boy called Putin. 

Russian President Vladimir Putin has spoken with his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron by telephone, the Kremlin press service said on Tuesday. It is the first phone contact between the leaders since September 2022. The conversation revolved around the situation in the Middle East, as well as the Ukraine conflict. During the call, Putin told Macron that the Ukraine conflict was “a direct consequence of the policies pursued by Western states, which for many years ignored Russia’s security interests,” and had established an “anti-Russian bridgehead” in the country, the press service stated. The Russian leader reiterated Moscow’s approach to any settlement, stating that it must “be comprehensive and long-term, address the root causes of the Ukrainian crisis and be based on new territorial realities.”

Allegedly France did land some contingent to Odessa. Doesn't matter, I hope those hapless servicemen wrote parting letters to their families, because they will be found out and killed. I don't even know what else did Macron expect to hear from Putin, because Russia's conditions re: 404 are the same. But this loser will now parade in a front of the same EU losers like him his phone call as if France matters in any serious geopolitical matters. She does not. 

Let's Start With A Simple Fact ...

 ... that most West's political "leaders" do not know. 

The Minister of Education of Estonia, Christina Kallas, during the interview could not answer the question of how many times 8 is multiplied by 4. She noted that education "is not only mathematical formulas." The presenter asked how much is 8 multiplied by 4? She answered: "I do not know."

She is not alone, most of the Western political and military "elite" do not know. They are very good at demagoguery, and other verbiage, some of it derived from the rabbinical tradition greatly admired among "protestant" pastors. But reality is a bitch--and yes, it is about mathematical formulas and physics, which then translate into serious applied disciplines such as making the best submarine, creating hypersonic weapons or flying into space. But never mind, as long as it "is not only mathematical formulas", there are so many cretins buying Teslas, iPhones and Louis Vuitton with Rolex. A sucker is a foundation of the Wall Street "economy". 

In related news. Do you know what this is?

This is Chrysler ME Four. They will not tell you that this magnificent American car was killed by ... Germans, Daimler, who owned Chrysler then and who didn't want a competition for their Mercedes, which looked like a second rate. So, this is just a hint to those who believe in economic "globalization". 

I Cannot Avoid...

 ... pointing this out especially against the background of the combined West destroying itself with lies, corruption and degeneration. A short historic period of time between 1945 and 2000s which was bought by the US for Europe to recover and rethink itself is over--it failed miserably, despite the USSR and Russia being the actual driver behind EU's relative prosperity. It is over, morons thought that they have knowledge in Brussels and D.C.--they don't, they are primitives dressed in nice suits and with fancy useless degrees, highly uncultured. So, they may not even get the significance of this:

But then again, at Piskarevskoye's Cemetery of Leningrad (St. Petersburg) more than 470,000 people are buried (out of roughly 1.5 million dead during Leningrad Siege) of roughly 900 days, that is why they love life in this city, as they do in Russia in general. Death cult of "Christian" Zionism loves death. 

Candace Is Vocal ...

 ... and as usual brilliant, charming and funny, when speaking of what the huge swaths of the US so called Christians have become. 

Never in history was a huge and powerful country subverted so thoroughly not just by its so called "intellectual class" (pathetic as it is) but by pseudo-religious "doctrine" financed by foreign government. 

Who Is This Mastermind?

 Of course, we know. 

Open Thread.

Go at it. 

Apotheosis Of Scarlet Sails ...

 ... in St. Petersburg today. Celebration of the White Nights and graduation of schools. 

Yes, you have guessed it--the name of the brig is Russia. West and its proxies should stick to what they know best--LGBTQ+ parades. A full broadcast of this event (Scarlet Sails) will be coming soon.
