    [...]

    “There is a flexibility that I know [Prime Minister] Stephen Harper must dream about: having a dictatorship where you can do whatever you wanted, that I find quite interesting.”


    Given his actions over the past year or so, Canadians should have believed him.
    He could have simply said "I admire my dad, because his dictatorship kept the peasantry down while the elites (like me) lived off their sweat."

    • Apparently there's a high altitude Chinese spy balloon floating over the United States that Joe refuses to do anything about.

              • And here I was informed that it was the Ukrainians that had the evil Nazis.....

                Leader of a Neo-Nazi Russian mercenary group ('Light Rus'), hot by his own Chechen allies.


                Skull-waving neo-Nazi Russian mercenary gets shot in head in execution-style attack


                According to reports circulating on social media, Mangushev was shot in the head at close range, execution-style, at a checkpoint in the Russian-occupied part of Luhansk Oblast.

                Mangushev (call sign “Bereg”) was sent to the neurosurgery department of one of the hospitals in Kadiivka (which the Russians call Stakhanov) with a gunshot wound.

                “So, performing with someone else’s skull has brought (Mangushev) misfortune,” Kazanskyi wrote.

                “Mangushev got shot through his own skull. He is still alive, but with such an injury, the prospects are not very good.”

                According to the journalist, “karma caught up” with Mangushev, and it was soldiers of Chechen warlord Ramzan Kadyrov who most likely shot the Russian mercenary.

                “The details are still uncertain, but they say there is a reason to shout ‘Akhmat-sila!’” Kazanskyi said, quoting what Mangushev’s attackers are reported to have cried during the shooting.

                Russian sources also confirmed that an “accident” happened to the mercenary. Russian authorities declined to release more information about the attack, but Russian milbloggers condemned the attack and speculated that Mangushev may have been on his knees and shot from behind.

                “Information from the doctors: it was made from a short-barreled weapon, a bullet of approximately 9 mm, close-up, occipital-parietal region, wound channel from the back down at 45 degrees,” the Russians quoted one of the invaders who fought in the same unit as Bereg.

                Mangushev is the leader of the neo-Nazi movement “Light Rus”. He is also considered the creator of PMC “Raccoon”, which closely cooperated with Russia’s FSB security service.

                The U.S. think tank Institute for the Study of War (ISW), quoting a Western expert, noted that Mangushev has ties to Wagner Group and that an attack against Mangushev may have been a message to the Wagner Group and its financier, Yevgeny Prigozhin.

                During his shameful “skull brandishing” speech in the summer of 2022, Mangushev repeated the stereotypes of Russian propaganda and called for the genocide of Ukrainians.

                The propagandist stated that the Russian Federation “is not at war with people, but with the idea” of Ukraine’s existence, and “all bearers of this idea must be destroyed.”

                  I believe you were the first one here to inform us about it.

                  In fact, you were even refuting rogue's post that denied nazis existed in the Ukraine military.

                  • Naftali Bennett discusses his role as mediator during the earlier stages of the Ukraine war. He claims there were concessions for a ceasefire in Moscow between Ukraine and Russia, but the west shot it down. It starts at about 2:50:00 in the video (make sure you click the CC button for subtitles)...

                      I didn't watch the whole thing, but the most amazing part is that Putin dropped his demand that Ukraine never join NATO as a ceasefire agreement. I never heard that before. Was that ever in the news at the time?

                        In alternative media, because I remember reading about it and thinking how weak that made Putin look. But I'd be shocked if it was reported by MSM.

                          It certainly demonstrates that he was looking for a way out.

                            Enter the Church and wash away your sins. For here there is a hospital and not a court of law. Do not be ashamed to enter the Church; be ashamed when you sin, but not when you repent. – St. John Chrysostom

                              Since they have nothing to lose, they should turn on the commander instead. You can only die once. And they way outnumber the commanders.

                                Typically threats are made against the family back home to keep them in line.
