ValerianSteel:I was just expecting this type of lunatic comment from you and proved me right. So you could not counter any of the facts above right except typing crap ? well, I will still reply you even though I know you are a retard(e)d crook, trust me no one wants U.S visa, the American dream is nothing but a lie. The simple truth is anyone going abroad is better off just visiting and returning to your home country. Exposure is very important and above all, learn something and pass it on to your enviroment. And for the above topic, I am glad we have many people now getting exposed to the Empire of lies and deceit. Empire of propaganda. The summary of all the great comments above "You see, while Amerika is known throughout history to employ mind-boggling lies & propaganda to strike fear into the hearts of her rivals & competitors, the Russians do not make noise - they just get to work & quietly get the job done. "Here in the U.S/ the Anglozionist Empire, Everything is over hyped, over priced and over lied by the media establishment to sell to permanent puppets and temporary puppets". "A good example is the entirely useless Patriot Defense System and the F-35 flying coffins.Remember how Amerika said her RQ-170 Sentinel Drone was invincible until the Iranian forces shot it down in December 2011. "And guess what? The crooks at the Pentagon were quick to deny the incident until photos of the wreckage started popping up. The same way they denied that a Northrop Grumman B2-Spirit (Spirit of Missouri) was shot down in Yugoslavia in 1999 by a Russian S-125 Defense System". Believe whatever Amerika says at your own peril" - Zoharariel/Appleyard's Qoute ( I am not sure whose quote(s) is(are) this(these) but I am sure it's from Zoharariel or Appleyard. These are the Qoutes of the 21st century about the Anglozionist Empire of Lies) |
Missy89:Olodo, here he comes again. If no one knows anything now, he would quickly succumb to this un-informed, pentangon troll. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a peace treaty signed on 3 March 1918 between the new Bolshevik government of Soviet Russia and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, and Ottoman Empire), that ended Russia's participation in World War I. If there is anyone that lost world war one, it is U.S that should never take part in it. World war One saw 5 major empires in Europe broken or weaken. The british, Ottoman, German, French and Russian empire. Soviet Empire was still very active and powerful and it's the reason Germany attacked Soviet in WW2. Here my personal observation is U.S pretty much supported Hitler against Soviets just the same way it's doing today. Via Proxy War/Hybride War/4th generation war. Hitler was pretty much U.S and Canada proxies in Europe. The same game in Syria as we speak. ISIS and the rest terrorists against Assad. The same way U.S supported Biafra against Nigeria. So U.S has History of backing the wrong to its advantage or geopolitcal goal of control via attacking it opponents. It's a fact. It only ended world war one but german did not defeat any Russian one beat meaning non of the soldier managed to get to any Russian territory like in world war 2. The World War I (July 28, 1914 – November 11, 1918) was centered in Europe, with the US “watching, and profiting from, the slow incineration of European civilization between 1914 and 1917.” When the European continent erupted in conflict in 1914, President Wilson declared America's neutrality. “In eighteen months of war (with the most intense fighting concentrated in the summer of 1918), 116,000 Americans died. Scholars still debate whether US intervention was decisive, but in the end the war resulted in the collapse of four empires (Germany, Russia, Ottoman, Austria-Hungary) and the aggrandizement of two others (Britain and France) without resolving any of the central issues of dispute.” The only one you are right is Japanese war. Russia lost yes I agree and it's one of the 3 I will list bellow. Again let me lecture you "Between 1700 and 1940 Russia/USSR fought in 34 wars and won 31 and in 392 battle and won 279. We could say that Russia won 91% of her wars and 71% of her battles. Russia's opponents included: Swedes, French, Germans, Turks, Poles, Tatars, Finns, Caucasians, Japanese, Chinese, Austrians, Hungarians, British, Italians and Central Asians." Here are the 3 wars it lost I would just add that Crimea was fought against what I call a "great ecumenical coalition" (including Anglican British, the Latin French and the Muslim Turks) which outnumbered the Russians by over 200'000 people (there was almost a MILLION "ecumenical attackers" for just over 700'00 Russian defenders. But yes, Russia did lose this one. ( WHo runs Crimea today ? Mind you Crimean penisular was taken back long time ago after the British, Ottoman and French controlled it, the Soviet empire took it back and was later illegally transfered to Ukraine Soviet) Today, who runs Crimea ? The Russian War against Japan Did Russia lose the war against Japan? I would argue that the Russian Fleet sure was defeated by the Japanese Navy, but Japanese historians have a very different view of what happened and consider that Japan's military was spent by the time the peace treaty was drafted (by the Russian side, by the way) and that Japan had been forced to accept very bad terms. At the very least, I would call this one a draw. The 3rd being RUssian Polish war As for the Russian-Polish war, yes, the Soviet's lost this one badly. But look at the kind of Soviet Union we had in 1920: a country in the midst of a civil war, with many uprising taking place, with a "worker-farmer" "army" with no real officers and let by clueless commissars. So while the outcome was a defeat, the circumstances of that defeat are, I think, so unique as to be irrelevant. But whatever the fine print and different views of the significance of individual outcomes, I think that these figures strongly suggest that attacking Russia is an exceedingly bad idea, even when only conventional wars are considered. Attacking Russia while she has the powerful nuclear arsenal on the planet is utter lunacy. Let's hope that this short reminder will reach at least one of the crazies who think that playing a game of chicken with Russia is a sound policy and that the Russians will "blink first" impressed by the US/NATO military prowess. |

9jacrip:According to Baba Olosun of Osogbolan, he said "There are differences between the two. Irunmole are the servants of Olodumare that She sent to teach us how to live good life and how to know how to follow Olodumare wishes on earth. We are following and worshiping them. Their number is fixed, only 401. Orisas are human beings who became Orisas due to their exemplary feats performed in changing the lives of the people for better. Ifa says, Eniyan ni di Orisa (Human beings are the ones who become Orisa. Orisa has parents on earth. Orisas are also Irunmole followers. Sango, the Alaafin of Oyo is example of Orisa and he was also the follower of Sango Irunmole who descended with other Irunmole from heaven. Please let us know when to use the words Orisa and Irunmole when talking in order not to cause confusion and misunderstanding " Blessings. - See more at: http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/breaking-news/irunmole-vs-orisa-what-is-the-difference-irunmole-and-orisa/#sthash.uf7SyRpE.dpuf So your story of Esu here could be the one in Ile ife just as Sango in Oyo Representing the real Irunomle Sango.. And this is what a lot of people have misunderstood about Esu and the real Irumole Esu. The real irumole Esu is Olodumare's first law enforcer that interpretes Ifa and also makes sureomo eniyan lives an orisa lifestyle. If we are to go by what Baba Olosun of Osogbolan said, then we can agree that Ooni of Ife is an Orisa representing Irunmole ? in Ile ife. Same goes to Alafin of Oyo, represent the post of Sango. Just that the Sango most people were talking about was so powerful that he could influence people, hence became an Orisa in Oyo. Your views ? |
9jacrip:You are right about Oyo following different lines. Stanza is not Yoruba. It's the same as Odu Ifa. I see. I think by any standard, Ile Ife's Ifa should be the foundation of all Yoruba people since it existed 10,000BC and virtually all the kingdoms linked to it. Why do you think Oyo has a different Odu Ifa ? Is it like the case of Shia Islam disagreeing with some principles in Sunni ? And in the end turned Enemies ? Just of recent Ooni of Ife Visited the Alafin of Oyo. This rarely happened in the past ? WHat do you think ? Is Esu an Orisa or Irunmole ? According to Baba Olosun of Osogboland, there is difference between the two right ? |
9jacrip:Esu helps Baba'alawo or Iyanifa to interprete Ifa in a way that it delivers the message to omo Eniyan and it usually comes plain without minding who the person is. He's the first law enforcer of Eledumare as confirmed by schollars. ( I strongly believe this is why we do not have anything like hell fire because Esu Ensures laws/Guidance in Ifa are followed) This is where missionaries played smart and turned Esu to their Satan since Esu blocks human plans. Humans or Omoeniyan are evil, Esu blocks Evil plans of Omoeniyan. This is how they managed to sell the satan is Esu in the Bible Brainwash to Yoruba Christians. ANy christian thinks Esu is Satan. The truth is Esu is not Satan in the Bible. This Brainwash the missionaries did perfectly. He's the first law enforcer of Eledumare and this way of life were embeded in Ifa as Guidance. He follows everything all the messages in Ifa strictly as beliefed to be handed over to Orumila from Eleduamare. 9jacrip:Yes, you are right about it , these are the major but total of ifa verses or stories are more ethan that right ? It's more than 7000 and also confirmed by Alafin of Oyo and other schollars arround the globe. 9jacrip:153,600 verses. Can you confirm the source to this particularly ? What is Alafin of Oyo here trying to say ? I believe he knows more. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kk3UW3Iiz2c |

History will always remember and be on Russia's side no matter how anyone tries to twist it. The media establishment lies is not longer working like it used to work during the days of Yugoslavia. One thing I can bet, Russians will never forget or forgive the west for the atrocities committed against the Eastern Slavic people during the days of Yugoslavia, NATO terrorist alliance dropped over 20,000 tons of bombs, killing people like ants. Has NATO, U.S/Anglozionist Empire learned anything ? Everyday is for the thief but one day is for the owner and that day has come. This article was written for The Ooduarere: http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/world-news/in-syria-russia-defends-civilization-the-west-sides-with-barbarism/ The recent Russian concert in Palmyra was an event loaded with symbolism. While it was the Syrians who liberated this ancient city and while the Russian only provided support, this support was crucial and, besides, it was not just Palmyra which Russia saved, but the Syrian nation. I would even argue that the Russians in Palmyra saved not just Syria, but all of civilization. Imagine you are an extraterrestrial watching our planet from space. Not only would you see the unspeakable atrocities committed by the Daesh liver-eating psychopaths, but you would see that the Empire which runs most of the planet, and the so-called “western civilization” ,which shaped our modern world more than any other civilization, have given their full backing to the Daesh. You would see the US TOW missiles used against the only army capable of standing up against Daesh, you would see all the countries making up the so-called “concert of nations” (about 1/3rd of the countries out there, maybe) calling for the overthrow of the legal and legitimate President of Syria even if that means that a black Daesh flag flies over Damascus. You would see the genocide of Christians while the putatively Christian world looks away and the genocide of (all non-Takfiri) Muslims while the putatively Muslim world looks away. You would see the self-described “Leader of the Free World” condemn the (very limited) Russian military intervention in Syria and you would see a member of the most powerful military alliance on the planet (Turkey) make millions by trading stolen oil with Daesh. This list could go on and on, but I think that we can agree that any extra-terrestrial observing this would be overcome by a total sense of disgust with the human race. But then you would see one country – Russia – not only helping to liberate the ancient Palmyra from the demonic beasts which tried to destroy it, but then also fully clear it from mines and unexploded ordinance it, making it safe to rebuilt. And, finally, you would see Russia bringing her best musicians to render a heartbreaking homage to those who were tortured and murdered not just by Daesh, but primarily by those who created and unleashed Daesh – the Anglo Zionist Empire. [img]http://thesaker.is/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/The-Empire-in-Palmyra.png[/img] The Empire in Palmyra The Palmyra amphitheater under the control of Daesh, before being liberated by Syrian government forces. I find it most significant that the concert did not begin with a piece by a Russian composer. Instead the Russians chose to begin with a poignant piece by Johann Sebastian Bach: this famous “Chaconne”, Partita for solo violin Nº 2 in D minor, BWV 1004. Yehudi Menuhin called the Chaconne “the greatest structure for solo violin that exists” and Violinist Joshua Bell has said the Chaconne is “not just one of the greatest pieces of music ever written, but one of the greatest achievements of any man in history. It’s a spiritually powerful piece, emotionally powerful, structurally perfect” (source). This is no coincidence. The Russian chose mankind’s greatest composer and one of his greatest compositions to show, I believe, that mankind is not only about evil, horror, lies and murder, and that the Western civilization also produced some of the most refined, spiritual and beautiful art ever. Only the transcendent music of Bach could represent a worthy “voice” to bring beauty to the very same place where Daesh had organized mass executions. The message was “you want to destroy civilization and even beauty – and we bring you Bach!”. Bach as a “weapon of civilization” is no less important in this context than SU-34 aircraft and cruise missiles are to the “kinetic war” against terrorism. It is ironic that Russia, which never was really part of the “Western world”, was the one to bring Bach to Palmyra. Had the Americans decided to organize a concert, they would never have bothered with Palmyra or the Syrian people – they would have had Toby Keith sing “American solider” for US Marines on a US military base (or something like this). The Russians, instead, played Bach in Palmyra. Today Russia stands for all of civilization. Even the western one. The Saker |
China’s refusal to grant the aircraft carrier USS John C. Stennis a stop over in Hong Kong was “done to punish the US” for being a “provocative vanguard” in the region, according to the US-based website The Epoch Times, which focuses on China news and reviews the Chinese media. Chinese officials have not provided any explanation for their refusal to allow the USS John C. Stennis to berth in Hong Kong on April 28. The Epoch Times however reviewed the Chinese media and said that it was a “punishment” to the US for being a provocative vanguard’ in the region. It cites as a source an article of the Chinese official news agency Xinhua headlined “The US Military Shouldn’t Be Surprised That Stennis’ Hong Kong Visit Was Rejected.” The agency apparently called on the United States to “reflect on what it had done wrong that would justify refusing to welcome a guest with courtesy.” “Why don’t we first look at what Stennis has done recently,” Xinhua suggested, listing a series of joint military exercises with South Korea and Philippines. “It was a small punishment to the US military for being a provocative ‘vanguard,'” the article said, citing unidentified military sources. Another Chinese news source, Global Times, an English-language newspaper run by the People's Daily, also acknowledged that over the past few years, the Pentagon has “played a series of tricks against China, creating quite an unpleasant atmosphere between the two sides.” The website notes that the US Pacific Fleet has now become the biggest “source of a pessimistic mentality for both countries.” “While they have become accustomed to controversies such as human rights, trade frictions and diplomatic divergences on hot spots, the US abruptly started its menacing military deployment against China's offshore interests, showcasing its military muscle by sending naval vessels and warplanes to China,” it says. That seems to be changing the nature of the Sino-US frictions. Due to the severe strategic suspicions, military problems have unprecedentedly emerged between the two, it added. “The US military should keep its distance from the area of Beijing's core interests,” it suggests. “Neither US voyages nor the Philippines-raised South China Sea arbitration works for Beijing. This is not because China is growing tougher, but because the White House has touched China's bottom line. Washington should now reflect on this,” it advices. Another US-based news website, the Navy Times has also commented on the denial. “The USS John C. Stennis’ port call on Hong Kong was denied exactly because of US Navy's more frequent and active patrols in the region that are challenging Beijing's position,” it quotes Zhiqun Zhu, a political scientist who heads The China Institute at Bucknell University in Pennsylvania as saying. “This is a political statement. I think Beijing wants to see a decrease or more low-profile US military activities in the region,” he added. The political analyst also acknowledged that the US military involvement in the South China Sea, especially the US Navy's freedom of navigation operations, have complicated the dispute and emboldened other claimants, especially the Philippines, to stand up against China. After Hong Kong returned to China in 1997, US navy ships continued their frequent visits to the special administrative region, but each must be approved by Beijing. Most have been given permission over the years, and there were only a few refusals, which happened when there was a chill in Sino-US ties. Normally, The Global times says, China does not articulate its reasons, and this has been considered as a diplomatic gesture of expressing its dissatisfaction as well as taking the bilateral divergences under control. The website meanwhile has repeatedly called on the US to "reflect on its own militarization in the South China Sea."

9jacrip:When writing in English, I think we can take a little time off to stress the fact that Olodumare (GOD) is bigger than Irumoles via an open and close bracket or rather in full like this "GOD/God, the creator of Heavens and Earth"... (Olodumare) and stressing an Orisa using "God, the God of River", (Irumole) while also reffering to Irunmole we could also do the same by stressing it in an open and clossed bracket to make your reader understand the huge difference between the two. Remember what matters here is your reader understanding and knowing very well the huge difference between the two and it does not matter here since the English language is not our oral Language. Naturally, writing their names in Yoruba langauge is enough to understand they are not in the same position. I also think instead of using God for the Iruomles, you can write their names which is perfect. But whenever anyone wants to use God, it should always be regarded with a capital letter G. I would honestly preffer just using full capital letters(GOD) to regard Olodumare while use only G (God) to regard Irumole(s) or just write the the Orisa name. We have about 401 of them. You are free to even choose anyone from the 401 and live their lifestyles. And this is why the Yoruba only believes in heaven. Yoruba believes heaven is our second home and when we pass on, we do return. Notice names like Babatunde and Yetunde. These are names given to a new Born baby that just lost a father/grandfather or Mother/grandmother. For example if my Father just died and the next person i give birth to happens to be a boy. Then I would give that Boy Babatunde.. If i just lost my mum and next Baby is a Daughter, Yetunde. Meaning mom returned or my late father has just returned from heaven. This is the idea that was re-modified and re-sold back to us in the god of hebrew. Here they added hell to it and Satan. The simple truth is Esu in Yoruba traditional religion of destiny, Ifa is not their Satan. Esu is messenger of Olodmare that helps Baba'alawo to interprete Ifa. It's believed that Ifa was given to Orumila from Olodumare for Omo Eniyan to use as Guidance. Ifa here has more than 7000 verses/stories known as Odu ifa. This again was re-modified by the foreigners to use as Quran or Bible. Ifa has more verses than the verses in Quran for example. Ifa has 16 stanzas. Each stanza has about 495 verses. ( known as Odus/Odu Ifa/Stories). Baba’alawo or Iyalawo (Ifa Chief priest or priestess ) is required to know by heart a lot of these verses (just like the Imam studying the verses in the Quran or Pastor studying verses and chapters in the Bible in Eastern and Western civilizations, Islam and Christianity respectively). See Example of an Ifa verse bellow. 495 x 16 = 7920 Verses a Baba’alawo or Iyanifa must learn or know by heart. See example of a verse or odu (Ogbe Rikusa) . But usually a Baba’alawo or an Iyanifa learns the top 200 by heart which encompases major problems or stories omo Eniyan has. This again is the same ideal re-produced in the Bible and Quran which are both religions of Abraham. They copied our old tradition. Ile ife is older than Palmyra of Syria. 10,000 BC. Palmyra is 9,000 BC. https://ooduarere.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/Ogberikusa.jpg Odu Ogbe rikusa The blind and disabled are friends The disabled person asked the blind person: Is this how we are going to die of suffering? The blind responded: what shall we do about it? The disabled answered: let us go and ask a wise person what to do. They inquired of the wise person: will we ever walk or see again? The wise person queried: Have you ever walked or seen before? They answered: never! They were asked to perform an offering They were perplexed: What is he talking about? Can we afford to pay for any offering? The disabled suggested suicide as an option Days latter the disabled repeated the suggestion to the blind person The blind responded: you know I cannot see, so whatever you suggest is okay We have been friends for too long and I could not live without you The disabled responded: I know a place we can go to kill ourselves The disabled person added: when we get to the water, I will just jump into it The blind person questioned: how would I know? The disabled said: I will bring you close to the edge so when you hear the loud sound of falling, you know it is time to jump On the second day they decided to end it all The disabled led the blind to the water As they neared the edge the disabled lamented and threw a huge stone into the water The disabled hoped he tricked the blind person to jump But the blind person was so worried and upset that threw his walking stick around and hit the disabled person The disabled person shrieked! The blind person was so surprised He asked the disabled why he wanted to trick him to die The disabled apologized and the blind person could not be too upset Did he not need the disabled to bring him home? As they continued along in the bush they came across some food Cooking the meat seemed to take too long. but The blind realized that each time the disabled spoke it sounded as if he was eating Since the blind person kept asking the disabled person for food, the disabled gave the blind a toad to eat instead The blind could not see so he put the toad’s head in his mouth As he bit the toad the water from the toad’s eyeball broke and splashed into the blind’s eye He regained sight! As he regained sight the blind took over the cooking and gave the toad to the disabled person to eat He then went to the waterside to drink But he told the disabled person that if the disabled person was still present when he returned, the disabled person had only three options: To be pushed into the water To be beaten To be taken into the forest and abandoned The disabled person chose to be beaten The previously blind person went to beat the disabled on his head The disabled suggested being beaten on the buttocks, knowing that from the waist down was paralyzed so he would not feel any pain As the previously blind started to beat his buttocks with a walking stick The disabled stood up and started running! But the two of them were so carried away they could not see what was happening to both of them As the disabled was running and the blind chasing They ran into a prophet The disabled screamed for help Help me Baba! The prophet asked them what the problem was between them They explained everything that happened up until that moment Then the prophet asked the disabled: Ever since you have been disabled Have you ever thought of asking your Blind friend or family to beat you with a walking stick before? He answered: No! The prophet also asked the blind person: If you had known that it was the water from toad’s eyeball that would heal you Wouldn’t you have asked your disabled friend or family for it? He also answered: Yes! Then the prophet told both of them to embrace each other They should forever be friends and never let anyone come in between them. Ever! They were happy and started remembering their journey together The prophet then said to them that a little bit about Olodumare had been revealed to them |
Zoharariel:RUssia is too powerful self, North korea there one on one will obliterate U.S. It will be like the ZIonist favourite story, David and the Goliath. Russia is too much for only U.S. You want it to roast every living thing in U.S. Russia Vs NATO and US and U.S puppets in the middle east combined, Russia will still come first. It has happened before and Russia obliterated united west 3 times. It's in their blood they fight till last blood. They are the real sparta. They do not stop until last blood and this is why Russia has won a lot of its wars and has destroyed so many Empires. |
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hiRqk1_oicQ You need to see this to believe it. This happened in China and the footage was discharged on a news program during the weekend. A 9 year old kid was discovered on observation camera assaulting and attempting to rape a grown lady on a forsook road around evening time. In any case, fortunately, the lady could fight him off and got away. This is a standout amongst the most ridiculous things I've found in a while. What is a kid of that age doing out that late and what Penis does he need to use to assault somebody? Be that as it may, for the most part essentially, what could drive a tyke this youthful?

9jacrip:You are the one confusing yourself. I never said Eledua/Eleduamre/Olodumare (GOD) is the same as the Irunmoles (Gods). What I'm just saying is that, it time to stop accepting the junks thrown as our traditional civilization thereby ridiculing it just the same way they call you 3rd world country and you accept. You not only accept but continue to remain this 3rd world country ideology. It's the same here. i have just refused to accept the notion that a small letter depicting Irunmole is not only wrong but also highly discriminatory and derogatory and this usage is very common with the Europeans that even teach their unborn kids anything black is bad. It's the same ideology they have sold that Irumoles should be depicted as a small letter G. That is propagating a religious ideology that their god is more important or supreme than our Gods(Irunmoles). I would never accept such thing because it's a complete insult and again jesus is not in any position with Olodumare (GOD) which is the supreme being that created heaven and Earth (Ile Ife). And again, we do not serve the same Olodumare because our Olodumare did not create what it could not control. Only the god of Hebrew created Satan which it could not control. Eledumare created Esu and good news is Esu is not Satan, has never been and will never be. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GhezxfNiDP8 Mind you he Eledumare also did not create hell. There is no hell. For this reason jesus may be in the same position as an Irunmole like Orunmila or even the Ooni of Ife anytime he puts on his ade Ori. Many do not know that any time ooni of ife puts on his Ade ori, he's regarded as Igbakeji Orisa. A God and the supreme leader of all Yoruba people. I would even put Jesus to Ooni of ife to tell you how lesser god the foreign Jesus is to our traditional hierarchy |
macof:You are on point |
Lucasbalo:I can tell you Ten good things that makes me feel proud of Nigeria. Number one being back in the day during the demonic Clinton's regime when Nigeria said Enough is Enough to the Zionist controlled Regime in Liberia. I am so much proud to say Nigeria stood against the hegemony in that country and told Clinton's terrorists to fck off. History had it that we stood against demonic evils tauting Liberia and restore order to that part of the world. I can also confirm to you that Nigeria has since 1960 been under attack from the Zionist controlled regime. Why because, they do not like any country taking independent foreign policy that runs counter to their foreign interest. In their Dairy of invading countries which they have done several times with Nigeria but lost. A country Like Nigeria should be invaded, destroyed, control each component via installing Zionist puppets. This they managed to do perfectly in Yugoslavia. Again was during the same demonic Clinton's regime. ( Again the only time they came close to installing a puppet in Nigeria was during IBB and see how they flooded the country with Debt. Naira never recovered since IBB took IMF debt sharing which OBJ finally paid back in 2004 yet in intense our Naira never recovered) Check the facts today, aren't they doing just that with their proxy forces ? Boko haram Saudi Arabia terrorist institution backed by the anglozionist empire ? And the 2015 deadline ? Sad, Nigeria did not break up in 2015. And freaking proud it did not break up and will not Break up. Number 2 that i am so much proud of is Nigeria runs an independent foreign policy and it's the type that takes no nonsense especially in the way and manner you treat any Nigerian is the same way you will get. A very good example is getting a Nigerian visa. Nigeria would never give any country visa free if that country will not give same thing in return.I am very much proud of Nigeria;s foreign policy and how it's run. Again the way you treat Nigeria here is the same way the citizens of your country will be treated. Many people do not even know that if you charge Nigerian coming to your country so so amount of money for Visa or registering Business visa/stay, it the same thing you will get when you come to Nigeria except for the ECOWAS states. Same goes to visiting, if you want 5 star hotel as Papers needed to give visa for visiting Nigeria, Nigeria will also ask your citizens to bring 5 star hotel before getting a visiting visa. If there is one thing I am very proud of, it's Nigeria's foreign policy. We do not invade any country because we do not like the government there. We repect all our neigbours and we run a smooth foriegn Policy that is the Enemy of your friend is my Friend and it's the reason we can deal with Russia or China even as as your hell bent media esteblishment is propagating a different ideology. That is don't deal with these guys. And Mandela even said it here at mark 1:08 in the video bellow. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5TiUhhm7cQ I am proud Nigeria is not as stupid as the western over branswashed and permanent puppets that just hates as long as the Empire is hating. That is even fast changing in Europe. Number 3 I'am proud that Nigeria is still standing even after the civil war over 4 decades ago. Let me remind you of where your foolish Zionist controlled regime were backing in those days. The U.S, Israel and France were backing the Biafrans, on the side of Biafrans. it's just a shameless as hell to inform you that the same U.S Zionist controlled regime you re so proud of has all its shits everywhere and could never get enough. Number 4 I am finally proud that Nigeria is waking from its slumber by embracing China more and slowly disowning the Anglozionist empire. Here the future is bright, the future is China, latin America, Russia;AIIB, BRICS, African development bank (One of the main reason they killed gaddafi) and SCO. I am very proud we have fought all the Zionist proxies like viruses and we are still standing. Number 5 If there one thing I am so freaking proud of, it's Yoruba civilization that dates back to about 10,000 BC. The Yorubas are generally warriors but yes empires come and go. Oyo empire came and gone. It's time for the Anglozionist empire to go and it's dieing a slow but painful death. You need to deal with that. I could go on but let me stop here. |
9jacrip:Is God and Jesus Equal ? Whatever the case, I would never reffer to Orunmila using a small letter g. Never, because Orunmila story is the same as the Jesus story, infact the god of hebrew copied african religious ideologies, remodified it and resold it here. As a matter of fact, Olodumare or Eledumare isok with Using all the letters as big letters, like this GOD.. While it's ok and right to use God for all the 401 Irunmoles. My point still remains valid. It's christian thing right ? English is also Christian thing so we are making the same point as to why the same christian thing would never reffer to your Kings as Kings but rush to address them as Chiefs. Now this is the same reason they will continue to use g for Yoruba Gods. To show to you that your God is in no way compared to their Brainwash god Jesus , re-modifided and re-sold copy and paste religious ideology from the African traditional religious civilization. For your information, Ile Ife Existed 10,000 years before the birth of jesus christ. It is older than Palmyra that the Russians recently Liberated from Western backed Terrorists. My point is still very valid and it remains Olodumare/Eledumare= GOD All the 401 Irunmoles/Orisa= Gods Case clossed ! |
9jacrip:When you said Eledumare, you used GOD.. Then you should be ok to use God for the Irunmoles. Just as Jesus is being reffered to as God. Now that's my point. Eledumare is GOD. Irunmoles, Orisa should always be regarded as capital letter G any time. Even though we don't have this type of discrimination in our oral language, Yoruba. This English is not ours and we need to correct these English poeple each time they make a derogatory remarks against our Gods. |
9jacrip:Op change that goddess/deity of swamp To Goddess and stop being derogatory. It's the same as saying god to your jesus. Have you ever wonder why the Brites or Europe will never reffer to your kings as kings ? why they always call them chiefs ? Now it is the same reason they use small letter g to depict our Gods.. Please be educated when you write yor chum burn. |
Mologi:The thing is, his father is dead, so who is running the offshore account ? |
David Cameron whose father is in Panama Papers calls Nigeria & Afghanistan 'fantastically corrupt' If there is anyone that needs to talk about other corrupt countries, it should not be Mr David Cameron whose late father was running offshore accounts and Businesses to avoid tax in the UK. What else could be more corrupt than telling lies to the people? That is the case of the UK prime minister, David Cameron who has described Nigeria and Afghanistan as “fantastically corrupt” in a conversation with the Queen. The PM was talking about this week’s anti-corruption summit in London. “We’ve got some leaders of some fantastically corrupt countries coming to Britain… Nigeria and Afghanistan, possibly the two most corrupt countries in the world,” Mr Cameron said. Asked whether the PM knew he was being filmed, Number 10 said: “There were multiple cameras in the room.” - See more at: http://ooduarere.com/news-from-nigeria/breaking-news/david-cameron-panama-papers/#sthash.PBS9l1pD.dpuf |
Lucasbalo:Just what a backwad way to reason. Supporting the zionist controlled regime or a dieing empire /country that preffers to harm a useless ship with Nuclear power needed to power a state like Lagos in Nigeria. Useless ships that we now know will be roasted alive within 4000km Club missiles range. But backing an empire of lies that preffers to arm a useless ship meanwhile the same empire continue to block Nigeria attainting the same nuclear civilization needed for domestic use. Hypocrites never reason and apply the use of sense. Has any one ever asked this question.. Why did GEJ finish all the Y'adua's projects except the rosatom deal he started with Russia during his time ? He's here saying fuel and power. |
danose99:Please don't mix the two. The Zionist controlled regime in the u.S which is 1% is totally different from the remaining 99%. The remaining 99% are good people but see how they are being controlled by 1%. Among those 99% i have great friends, cousins living in America. So I do not detest Nothern Americans but the zionist controled regime. Infact the Anglozionist Empire combined. So please don't mix the two together. Meaning the 99% and 1%. I am against the 1% foreign policy and internal policy (killing of African Americans anyhow) does not mean I hate Americans. Infact those 1% I do not class them as Americans, they are inhuman/subhumans/Neocons.. |
danose99:As a mater of fact, this is open to the dead not to talk of normal people alive except for the dead brain cells or zombies which is worse than the dead. Yes, Worse than the dead here because these were the set of zombies whitewashing the Holocaust by the Nazis back in the day. The same Nazis supporters whitewashing the Odessa massacre that burnt over 40 people alive. Fact number one - The AngloZionist empire's Policy of removing a democratic elected president of any country that it does not like or does not do as It says to the empire of Dictatorship confirms its supports of Terrorists. ASSAD must go here is fact number one. And giving names to different groups is known as re branding terrorists. The origin is Wahhabi/Takfiri/Mujadeen Terrorist institution of Saudi Arabia backed by the anglozionist empire. Any name you hear from terrorist in the middle east and Africa are from these Wahhabi/Takfiri/Mujadeen Terrorist institution of Saudi Arabia except for National resistance forces to external forces like Hezbolar and Hamas. These are National resistance forces that are not religiously ideological. They are fighting against the Zionist regime just like the Apartheid of South African back in the day. Fighting against occupation of their lands. This is not the case of ISIS, Alqeada, IS.. You name it. All these terrorists marketed by the west are their creation and have always been. Fact number two - Dropping arms to the rebels both from Saudi Arabia, and U.S and the general in U.S admitted that they have only managed to recruit 4 person to fight ISIS again confirms they are in fact sponsoring ISIS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fwxmjs0TKkI Again here if you don't know. Let me even explain it better. They have tier 1 and tier 2 terrorist army in Syria. Tier 1 is their favourite Free Syrian army while Tier 2 is ISIS and other different groups forming coalition.. Imagine terrorist forming coalition. Fact number 3--- U.S by any international standard and all its fake coalition in Syria invading Syria under the pretext of going against ISIS they created could not take any major city from the same fake isis they created. After destroying the Syria Institutions for over 5 years. Were they bombing Air ? Russia bombed the hell out of their terrorists and you see them rushed to striking a cease fire after five years. Again shows they are in fact sponsoring various terrorist groups and were actually expecting a Libyan Scenario to happen which did not happen and will never happen. Again Russia has helped Syrian Armies to take back Palmyra, this alone confirmed 110% that the west and all its coalition are sponsoring ISIS.. In-fact they are ISIS and other terrorist groups in Syria and Iraq. Now that brings me back to my definition of Anglozionist empire. AngloZionist Empire = Anglo America+Anglo Saxon + the Zionist Israel+ All their Pamement Puppets (E.g all the countries in NATO,Saudi Arabia,Japan,Qatar) +Temporary Puppets (E.g Boko haram, Nnamdi Kanu, Deash,ISIL,IS,Alqeda,NeoNazis in Ukraine e.t.c) These are the crooks sponsoring and backing ISIS for pure geo-political take over and one world order. The good news is, they are losing at all fronts. |
The manual transmission is a slowly diminishing breed. Over the previous decade, various automakers have started eliminating the manual transmission for dual-clutch units and more fuel-proficient automatics. Sadly, that implies huge numbers of our most loved sport autos are introducing another era without a stick shift, making a hefty portion of us very sad as driving lovers. At that point there are different sport cars where a manual transmission was never at any point offered as an alternative, similar to the Nissan GT-R. Tragically, deals figures don’t lie, and for some automakers, the take rate for manual transmissions is low to the point that it’s no more worth itregardless of the expense to build up a good unit – particularly for autos pumping out ludicrous measures of torque and require more powerful transmissions. Automatics are additionally frequently faster and more efficient than manuals. Continue to See our Top 10 Cars We’re sad will no longer come with Manual Transmissions

Zoharariel:Confirmed !! |
Zoharariel:Honestly, the facts on the ground is the Empire of lies does not have any leverage at all. I am just wondering what it can still do to achieve anything. Their Aleppo terrorist is almost/completely surrounded. Palmyra is taken. Leaving only Raqqa as the main de-facto capital of their terrorists. The Plan B is pretty much what it has been doing for the past five years. That is sponsoring terrorist with arms. I can fairly predict it will give them more sophisticated weapons to try to shoot down Syria's old Fighter jets.. Cos you will need a powerful anti air defense system to try to even near any of those Su34s and Su30s in Syria. Man-pads can never get near those Su30-Su34s. So what we'll continue to see is a repetition of a failed policy in Syria. Another thing is Saudi and Turkey invassion of North Syria which is less likely by the day. You have Tactical Short range ballistic missile (Isklander complex), waiting in Syria to quickly push them back. I bet the Saudi and Turkey won't dare try that. Now this may be funny but trust me, the anglozionist empire is ready to sacrifices Saudi Arabia to attain the same goal, that is Iran. Watch them playing their propaganda with releasing 28 documents classified 9/11 relating to how saudi planned the attack. This propaganda is just to prepare the minds of the U.S forces against Suadi and another replay of Iraq. (Even though we all know 9/11 was U.S planned pretext to invade the middle east) This has got the regime divided with Obama saying no and the real Zionist controlled saying yes to releasing those documents even head of CIA saying No. Plan B here may also mean to turn Saudi Arabia to another Iraq and have the Spill hit Iran which is their main target in the region. Don't forget their goal is to destroy the middle east and make everyone of the countries there useless while the Zionist Israel occupation comes 1st in the middle east. Again this is the Zionist Controlled regime policy in the U.S and everywhere else in the world. |
Its previous awards are as follow: Anglozionist empire of lies/propaganda, Anglozionist empire of debt, Anglozionist empire of Sponsoring or backing terrorist forces or Proxies and now it has just bagged the Anglozionist empire of Dictatorship. Dictatorship here means the leader of the Anglozionist empire which is U.S Zionist controlled regime dictates to all its enemies, vassals and opponents. Leaving 0 access to diplomacy or the use of dialog to solves problems and has turned to the use of force to achieve its Geo-political goals particularly in Syria. See updates bellow. Kerry's Ultimatum to Assad: Why US Plan Means 'Capitulation to Al-Qaeda' https://cdn4.img.sputniknews.com/images/102780/51/1027805140.jpg US Secretary of State John Kerry has given Syrian President Bashar al-Assad an ultimatum: either to begin "political transition" or risk the consequences of a new US approach toward ending the Syrian civil war, Tony Cartalucci notes. "Why does Washington believe that it has the right to impose its will on a sovereign nation thousands of miles from its own shores?" Bangkok-based geopolitical researcher and writer Tony Cartalucci asks in his recent article for New Eastern Outlook, warning that Syria is currently being overrun by heavily armed and extremely dangerous terrorists backed by foreign powers. Citing Bradley Klapper of the Associated Press (AP) the geopolitical researcher stresses that the US Secretary of State has even gone so far as to give an ultimatum to the legitimate, democratically elected Syrian government. "How the United States presumes to possess the authority to determine the fate of a sovereign nation thousands of miles from its own shores in the Middle East is never explained by US Secretary of State John Kerry when he recently announced a new ultimatum leveled at Damascus," Cartalucci writes. Klapper's report reads: "Secretary of State John Kerry warned Syria's government and its backers in Moscow and Tehran on Tuesday that they face an August deadline for starting a political transition to move President Bashar Assad out, or they risk the consequences of a new US approach toward ending the 5-year-old civil war." According to the American journalist, the White House is unlikely to authorize the deployment of extra US troops in Syria, instead "US allies like Saudi Arabia might be able to give the rebels new weapons to fight Assad, such as portable surface-to-air missiles." It seems Washington is not shy about cooperating with Saudi Arabia and Turkey despite the fact the two realms are up to their eyeballs involved in arming and funding terrorists in the region. Cartaculli quotes the Independent report that says the two countries [Saudi Arabia and Turkey] are backing the Jaish al-Fatah group (the Army of Conquest) a joint command structure for Syrian jihadists that includes al-Nusra Front. Washington is well aware of "co-mingling" between the US-backed "moderate" rebels and powerful al-Nusra Front terrorists. However, the Pentagon and the CIA have so far failed to "separate" the Syrian moderate opposition from Islamists. The geopolitical analyst points out that although the White House possesses all political and military tools to eradicate the "roots" of the Middle Eastern terrorism it hesitates to do it. Washington policymakers regard al-Qaeda's affiliate al-Nusra Front as a convenient tool to pressure the Syrian government into making political concessions. Remarkably, Cartalucci stresses the US senior officials had no scruples about collaborating with Islamists in Libya, referring to the fact that back in 2011 US Senator John McCain found himself shaking hands with the commander of US State Department-listed foreign terrorist organization, the Libyan Islamic Fighting Group (LIFG) — de facto al-Qaeda in Libya. American geopolitical analyst Eric Draitser shares a similar stance. In his latest analysis for New Eastern Outlook Draitser called attention to a sinister pattern observed in both Libya and Syria. The analyst emphasized that it is no secret that the CIA and other US government agencies have long been involved in investing in projects aimed at manipulating social media. "Close observers of the US-NATO war on Libya will recall just how many Twitter accounts miraculously surfaced, with tens of thousands of followers each, to 'report' on the 'atrocities' carried out by Muammar Gaddafi's armed forces, and call for a No Fly Zone and regime change," he noted. The same pattern surfaced in the beginning of the unrest in Syria when fake bloggers, who pretended to be Syrian protesters, fabricated news about the situation in the country, Draitser stressed. Furthermore, Hillary Clinton's leaked emails, released by WikiLeaks, expose some inconvenient truths about the Silicon Valley giants and the role they played in arranging the Syrian regime change. "Considering the verified nature of the so-called 'opposition' in Syria and the verifiable nature of what US foreign policy has done to Libya — leaving it to this day in the hands of state-sponsored terrorist organizations including the notorious 'Islamic State' or ISIS [Daesh] — what the US is essentially demanding of Syria and its allies is capitulation to al-Qaeda," Cartalucci underscores. At the same time "the new approach" Kerry was referring to is apparently the realization of the much discussed Plan B aimed at partitioning and occupying the sovereign Syrian state. |
Needless to say, the Russians absolutely loved it. Not the image itself, of course, it was deeply offensive to them, but the fact that Foreign Affairs has so clearly shown its true face: hate-filled russophobia. Russia as a drunken, frustrated and wounded bear. They did wonder, however, why the westerners saw them as wounded; and wounded by what? They also loved the “Making America Great Again” on top of the page which was obviously the propagandistic goal of this issue: to show Russia as wounded as a means to make “Merika” look “great again”. Believe it or not, all this gives most Russians both a good healthy belly-laugh and an acute awareness of the hatred the West has for Russia. “They only love us when we are weak, wounded and drunk” is something which you can hear very often on Russian TV, and the blogosphere fully agrees.

I cannot think of a more effective way to totally ridicule the regime in Kiev.Another regular feature on Russian TV which the general public cannot get enough of are Ukrainian nationalists. Not only do they systematically deny any problems in the Nazi-occupied Ukraine and continue to insist that the Russian military is operating in the Donbass, they even come “equipped” with the mandatory “chub” hairstyle and Ukie flag of the Ukronazi patriots. See for yourself: Then there are our former east-European “brothers”, especially the Poles. Their main source of pride is that they are now part of NATO and they openly say so. They actually admit that “we are afraid of Russia so we joined NATO” which makes them look both as idiots (nobody in Russia believe that Russia will invade anybody) and as cowards (from a Russian point of view, that kind of “hiding behind the bigger brother” elicits no respect at all). So if the Ukronazis come across as clowns, the Polish officials come across as cowards and prostitutes. And just to make sure that everybody gets it, the Russian media regularly reminds the Russian people that Poles are constantly making the ludicrous accusation that their government plane crash near Smolensk was somehow either shot down or bombed by Russia.

While he tries, hard, to avoid sounding like a typical US propagandists, he regularly “breaks down” and begins spewing some very obnoxious US imperialists nonsense. He also loves to try to deny any Russian success (all of which he dismisses as “propaganda”). Knuckles is plain stupid and arrogant in a uniquely US way. Frankly, I am amazed that nobody in the USA has found a way to pull him away form the Russian TV before he further damages the image of the USA in Russia. Whatever may be the case, these guys are truly hilarious to watch, especially when confronted with reasonable western journalists from France, Greece, Germany or even a fellow American (see a good example here).Then there are the American journalists, mainly Michael Bohm – left of the photo – (who speaks a pretty good Russian and Mark Knuckles – right on the photo – (whose Russian is hilariously horrible and who sounds like a bad movie’s caricature of a CIA station chief during the Cold War). Oh boy, these two provide for hours of excellent entertainment. Last but not least, there are the Russian liberals. You have to realize that by now the words “liberal” and “democrat” have become almost insults in Russia. Here is a typical Russian joke which illustrates the typical Russian view of liberals: A new teacher comes into the class: – My name is Abram Davidovich, I’m a liberal. And now all stand up and introduce yourself like I did … – My name is Masha I liberal … – My name is Petia, I’m a liberal … – My Little Johnny, I’m a Stalinist. – Little Johnny, why are you a Stalinist? ! – My mom is a Stalinist, my dad is a Stalinist, my friends are Stalinists and I too am a Stalinist. – Little Johnny, and if your mother was a LovePeddler, your father – a drug addict, your friends – homos, what would you be then in that case? ! – Then I would be a liberal. Notice that the new teacher has a typically Jewish name, which illustrates the Russian belief that Jews are the prime proponents of the kind of “liberalism” folks like Berezovsky or Khodorkovsky incarnated in the 1990s. This is not some kind of anti-Semitism – this is simply a typical case of blowback. So when the poor Russian liberals get to present their view on Russian TV, they not only are called to task to defend or, at least, try to justify AngloZionist imperial policies, they are also regularly reminded of the horror which Russia was under their rule in the 1990s. Just standing in the company of Russia-hating Americans, Poles and Ukrainians they look discredited beyond any possible redemption. There is really nothing as funny has watching Russian liberals, Americans, Poles and Ukrainians clamoring that there is no free speech in Russia on prime time Russian TV! Keep in mind that the internal Russian media is very different from the English language Russia Today whose mission is to present an alternative point of view to a western audience and there are therefore very few rabid russophobes invited to speak on RT. But inside Russia the decision has clearly been made to expose the Russian general public to the exact same russophobic propaganda as what the western public is subjected to. In way you could say that the Russian counter-propaganda technique is a form of intellectual inoculation: you give the body just enough exposure to the pathogen to trigger an immune response, but not so much as to infect and kill the body. As a result of this, the following associations have powerfully molded themselves into the Russian collective: Russian liberals → the horror of the 1990s American journalists → US imperial aggression Polish officials and journalists → russophobia Ukrainian nationalists → the horror of present day Banderastan This is very, very effective. The best way to prove that is to remember that all these groups have the support of maybe 3-6% of the Russian population, max. A solid 95%+ is resolutely opposed to them and don’t want them to have any say or even influence in the future of Russia. As an ex-Cold warrior myself, I remember well how ridiculous Soviet propaganda was and how nobody would take it seriously, not in the West and not in the East. Now the tables have turned and it is the western propaganda which is not taken seriously anywhere (well, except maybe in Poland and the Baltic states) and which ends up damaging the credibility of the West. The Empire’s propaganda is simply counter-factual and totally illogical and is quite obvious to a Russian audience. This is why the very last thing the Kremlin would ever want to do is to prevent the Russian people from being exposed to it.

First of all what is needed in this case is a powerful, highly maneuverable attack helicopter like Ka 52 alligator not some fake,highly priced, over hyped U.S junk like Apache copters. We don't need this crap except if the same hypocrite U.S have decided to re-supply more sophisticated weapons to their proxy forces boko haram via their permanent and temporary puppets , Wahhabi Saudi Arabia/takfiri/mujadeen terrorist institution. It's not new thing that the Empire of lies have long been looking for how to install a base in Nigeria to contain China in west Africa. Ghana has agreed to this but only Nigeria refused. So it's part of U.S interest to see Nigeria destroyed and it's the reason they predicted 2015. They did not predict, they planned for 2015 but failed. And this is the major reason they decided to include Nigeria in the leahy law, banning the sales of arms so Nigeria will not contain their proxies. I don't even know why Buhari is playing with the devil here. To dine with the devil, you need very long spoon. If there is one thing we need now, it is Ka 52 flying tank which is by far better than apache but not these junks from the empire of lies, empire of debt, a falling or dieing anglozionist empire. |

This column was written for the Unz review: http://www.unz.com/tsaker/counter-propaganda-russian-style/ Listening to the western corporate media one would get the impression that the Kremlin controls all the Russian media with an iron grip and that not a word of criticism of Russia, nevermind Putin himself, is ever allowed. So bad is this situation that the AngloZionists are now funding new “information” efforts to counter-act the Russian propaganda machine and bring some much needed information to the Russian people who clearly do not realize that they are being lied to and deprived from any truthful or even alternative information. In reality, nothing could be further from the truth. First, while some Directorates of the KGB have been renamed and reorganized, the Directorate in charge of dissidents, “other thinkers” and assorted ideological “enemies of the state” (the 5th Main Directorate) has been disbanded completely. So there is no “ideological police in Russia”. Some forms of speech are, indeed, banned – “extremist” speech (terrorism, violence, racism, hate speech, etc.) and some specific organizations, like the Ukrainian “Right Sector” or the Tatar “Mejlis”. Other than that, the only control over speech in Russia is based on criminal charges. So, really, Russia is not unique in that matter at all – she more or less does the exact same as European states. Second, there is *a lot* of criticism of Putin and the government in general in a very active RuNet (Russian Internet), not only in Russia, but also worldwide (USA, Canada, Kazakhstan, the Ukraine, etc.). Some of the criticism comes from a rather small pro-US minority, but most of it comes from the anti-US camp: nationalists, Communists and critics of the government economic policies all blame Putin for being too weak and unwilling to confront the West frontally. Unlike in the Ukraine, foreign media organizations are not banned, and neither are their broadcasts or newspapers. Third, most of the Moscow-based “money elite” (I don’t want to call them “intelligentsia”) absolutely loathe Putin and his policies, and they are not shy about speaking their minds about him. If you want to test that hypothesis, just talk to wealthy Russian tourists and you will see that, as a rule, they don’t support Putin at all. And, as we know, “money talks” and a lot of Russian money is most definitely opposed to Putin. But that does not mean that there is no Russian counter-propaganda at all. There is, and it is very effective. But what makes it unique is the way in which it operates. I suspect that the fantastically incompetent ways in which the 5th Main Directorate of the KGB worked to try to deal with anti-Soviet feelings has left a deep mark on younger generation of state security officers who have learned from these mistakes and have taken a diametrically opposite course: instead of trying to silencw the western propaganda – they actually actively promote it! Yup, that’s right. The Kremlin and the clearly pro-Putin journalists go out of their way to give as much air time to the most rabid anti-Kremlin critiques as possible, especially on Russian TV talkshows. The most popular Russian TV talkshows (Evening with Vladimir Soloviev, Time will Show with Petr Tolstoi, Right to Know with Dmitrii Kulikov, Politics with Petr Tolstoi and Alexander Gordon, Special Correspondent with Evgenii Popov, News.doc with Olga Skabeeva, Duel with Vladimir Soloviev) all make sure that the following groups get as much airtime as possible: Russian liberals Russian-speaking American journalists Russian-speaking Polish officials and journalists Ukrainian nationalists These four groups are literally the “bread and butter” of these talkshows were they provide a constant stream of very entertaining political debates. Why? Because they utter the exact same nonsense which they are used to proclaim in their own countries and if the western audience does not really know what to make of this propaganda, it sounds so outlandish to the Russian audience that these guests always get completely eviscerated (verbally, of course) by the Russian guests invited to the same talk show. And just to make sure that every person in Russia ‘gets the message’, the main weekly news shows (News of the Week with Dmitri Kiselev, Postscriptum with Alexei Pushkov) always feature long excerpts from western propaganda reports and the most rabidly anti-Russian statements from western politicians. For example, the BBC recently made a rather grotesque propaganda movie entitled “World War Three: Inside The War Room” featuring Putin ordering the invasion of a Baltic state and a nuclear strike on a US aircraft carrier. The Russian media when crazy over this, and long excerpts of the show, with special effects and all, were shown on Russian TV. The Russian public looked at this footage in awe and dismay at the stupidity of it all. More recently, the US magazine posted a video about and upcoming issue on “Putin’s Russia” .
