Thanks for the link Linh. If we're going to be hunkered down for the foreseeable future waiting for the radioactive cloud to drift down from the northern hemisphere early next year, then we might as well try to do it with smiles on our faces.
Just a year ago it seemed that the worst thing happening in the cosseted west was social cancelling for not toeing the approved line. Now, by accident or design, we're heading for far, far worse. There seems to be such incredible incompetence at all levels of most western governments and I can't understand why. There's no doubt that some very smart people are walking the halls of power, so how is it that dross like Biden, Harris, Truss, May, Zelensky are able to float to the top?
There was a time when I would've said it's obviously because the hidden hand wants to remain hidden. However that's not been the case for a few years now as the WEF acolytes are absolutely brazen about their plans, Gates is happy to be filmed saying the next pandemic will really get our attention and Fauci is perfectly at ease lying in the face of senators and telling them they don't know what they're talking about, knowing full well that his lies are being disproved as he speaks them.
They just don't care who knows - which either means they think they're immune to the fate that's befallen so many before them or they really have no idea that what they're doing is enraging people.
Those of us over 50 can at least shuffle off this mortal coil having had our lives, but I fear our children are going to be getting by with with far less civilisational fripperies then we enjoyed. Like readily available food, energy and medical facilities. In a way perhaps that's for the best as once the cycle of 'bad times' has played out our grandchildren will be far stronger for it.
So after +7 months in a military green T-shirt, Zelensky premiered a new outfit on 10/21/22. Casual and goofy, it's meant to present him as a common man, and not a super rich sacrificer of Ukrainians. This man's image has been very carefully calibrated. I've pointed out the low camera angle, to make short Zelensky look huge. An actor and comedian by profession, Zelensky once pretended to play the piano with his prick, but that was before he was cast into this role of fighting man, defender of democracy, new Churchill and antagonist against Hitler reincarnated. This is by far his most ambitious comedy.
Yes, “Moar Sanctions” are now proposed for Iran for supplying weapons to one of the combatants in the Ukraine War (something they and Russia both deny, BTW, if it matters). This for doing the same thing the West is doing, only Iran is on the wrong side! I guess they didn’t get the email. I’m not sure how much further they can crank the sanctions up, though. Perhaps “Double Secret Probation?”
Sometime during Trump’s tenure I gradually quit looking at CNN and most of the other legacy media as the lies and propaganda got just too obvious to ignore, not wanting to reward their increasingly obvious lies with my clicks. The only problem with that strategy is that one no longer hears of the latest circus our betters are considering inflicting on us. The only thing positive is that we have not yet reached the "Pravda" stage, given that there are still independent sources that have managed to avoid being completely censored or suppressed, and they can be found if one is reasonably diligent. But soon we may need to get better at reading between the lines, like the former Soviet citizens had to.
I understand the “doomerism” and succumb to it myself—it’s hard to help these days. But I believe that creating that mood amongst the General Public is intentional, and I still fight against it. I had a long phone chat with an old friend on the other side of the country last night, He is depressingly incurious about all that is going on in the world, saying that there is nothing he can do about it, so there’s no point in knowing. It’s sad to see him spend his retirement with no apparent zest for living. He used to like to read, like I do, and we had lots of interesting discussions over drinks before he retired and moved back to his hometown.
We always have plenty of non-perishables laid in, a habit developed long ago, and we stay tapped in to local food sources as best we can; there is plenty of local agriculture nearby. Like you, we won’t freeze to death here, but if things ever get to where retreating underground is indicated, I doubt if surviving will be worth it. Fortunately, we’re well away from the big city, and there are no targets within 100 miles worth wasting a nuke on, except possibly the nuclear generating station a dozen miles from here, which is on the far side of some nice sized mountains.
All that concerns me these days is my wife being off in Taiwan for a few months. I hope the US doesn’t succeed in getting their "second" war started before she returns home.
We have lots of beans, rice and oats stockpiled. My hubby is a wonderful gardener. We have tons of butternut squash which last for a long time, and lots of dehydrated fruit that he grew, too. We won't freeze in California but we might have to sharpen our skills in defending our property when the hungry hordes come!
Eight years ago, I lived, exercised, read an drank vodka in Lingui Guangxi, China. Often I would make the 45 minute bus ride the center of Guilin, where I liked to shop and eat. My favorite restaurant:, Sues, was owned and managed by a pretty chinese woman with twin daughters. The menu was mostly western: Pizza, Hamburgers, Shepherd's pie etc. It was always packed; plenty of Chinese liked her western menu.
The entire experiece was forever ruined for me as one day I sat with a friend to eat lunch. Staring back at me from a photo on the wall: Bill Clinton with his arms around Sue and her pretty, young, female wait staff. Living in Arkansas and being of sound mind, Bubba as he is affectionately known in his native surroundings, is a man I have never voted for but have always despised. It was sad to me he could have defiled such a beautiful far away place. But of course he did that often.
A couple of corrections. We in Ukraine are not JewJabbed. Only 36% have had any shot at all, far the lowest in Europe. Compare with Russia itself, where Putin's good buddy (Gintzberg. Don't think he's Irish) is jabbing everybody with his Sputnik slurry. See Substack posts by Edward Slavsquat for details.
With regard to your suggestion that we accept the inevitable. First, from here it does not look that inevitable. Secondly, a look at the fate of the parts of the country that did so in 2014 is enough to convince anybody it is a bad idea. Better to die on your feet than live on your knees with Russia's dick up your butt. These guys are really and truly the remnants of the Mongol hoard. They are cruel, uncivilized.
From all I heard from the people there, Crimea is doing much better under Russian rule than under Ukrainian rule. There's no reason to think that the Donbass won't be doing much better under the Russians too. I understand the desire for independence, but I don't get this Ukrainian fake ultra-nationalism. Do they think they have now become Germans, and not Slavs who are basically Russian as well, or at least the little cousins of Russians? I think they have some sort of inferiority complex vis-a-vis Russia. Ukrainians are not going to become German, or Western European any day now, nor are they going to be treated as if they were, sorry. They are just being used as pawns, then thrown away. And Zelensky is a comedian, an actor playing a role. That you, living there, can't see it (or pretend not to see it) is really amazing.
Ukraine's richest man, Rinat Akhmetov, is a Tatar/Muslim sort. Not Jewish. Gas princess Yulia Timushenko is not Jewish. None of the heads of the big agra companies, that I know of, are Jewish. Exception: Sigma Blazer is owned by an American Jew.
On the other hand, Vadim Rabinowitz, for whom I briefly worked, could have been Shakespeare's model for Shylock. Igor Kholomoisky is of the same ilk. And yes, as everywhere, they dominate the media and entertainment.
Zelensky is a pleasant surprise. He has come out from Kholomoisky's shadow and is doing a creditable job leading the country in war. To say he outshines his predecessors is faint praise, but he seems to.
As I wrote, we have mostly avoided the jab and vaccines in general. There is common sense.
Who shot down MH17 is still a good question. I reviewed "MH17 and the New Cold War," which would accuse the Ukrainians. After watching the Russians this year I think it probably was the Russians. But we will never know.
That's my last comment here. I love Linh Dinh, but there are more interesting comments elsewhere.
#2 Victor Pinchuk, #4 Ihor Kolomoyskyi, #5 Henadiy Boholyubov, #6 Halyna Hereha is obviously Jewish. This is not taking crypto-Jews into account.
Being pro-Zelensky is on a completely different level than simply being anti-Putin/anti-Russian. The fact that the US led a deadly violent coup against the duly elected Yanukovych presidency apparently doesn't trouble you. Why was he ousted? Because he had 2 deals on the table; one deal from the WTO/IMF/WB requiring "privatization" of national assets (below-cost auction to Western Jewish corps), brutal austerity, crushing interest, and being locked into trade with those Jew corps, and one deal from Russia which was a straight up loan with no strings attached, just a willing trade partner, and Yanukovych was going to take the sensible option. That every leader since has been a zio-stooge puppet apparently doesn't outweigh your hatred for Russia. One can only conclude you're also perfectly fine with the ongoing state genocide of ethnic Russians. You've been featured on various substacks in the past, and your perspective was interesting to read, but it's pretty clear you're not to be taken too seriously, because you're not very serious in your observations of the real political landscape as it exists, and you prefer to cling to some kind of ethnic or national jingoism, regardless of the ugly realities. You seem to prefer to be on your knees with 𝘤𝘪𝘳𝘤𝘶𝘮𝘤𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘥 dick up your ass.
The most relevant question in any event, and the question most seldom asked, is qui bono? Regarding MH-17, Russia stands to gain absolutely nothing, and the idea they're responsible is absurd, it only ever served as war propaganda 𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵 Russia. The whole event was staged. The bloodless bodies were in an advanced state of decay, had the stench of decomposition and chemicals, and showed signs of lyophilization/freezer burn.
Yep. When MH-17 happened, it was very deja vu. I remember the alleged metadata from Diego Garcia. MH-370 was supposedly filled with telcom chip engineers, was it?
So, the Biden regime is prepared to go to nuclear war to keep the evil Jewish-led Zelensky regime in power, just because he has been programmed since childhood to hate Russia. Only a small percent of us "boomers" have been able to escape the programming. And no one, anywhere, is able to stop that stupid, sick, demented old man and his Jewish neocons who run the State Dept. from starting WW3? It's hard to believe how far my truly evil country has fallen since JFK was rubbed out.
Graham--I think the crowd that frequents this blog largely judges the Ukraine War to either be one of its own choosing, or one that was fueled and continues to be egged on by certain players in the West for their own reasons, with Ukrainian leadership's full cooperation. I include myself in that group.
Nevertheless, I hope you will not allow that to stop you from providing your own perspective. Guys like me, whatever we think, are just a keyboard and a screen half a world away, forming our opinions with third and fourth-hand information. So any first-hand observation and opinion from someone actually there on the ground is always worth reading.
"In July, a Swedish reader advised me to tone down my “doomerism".. Im just saying whatever will be will be, not much you and i can do about it anyway. Wars happen, its happened before.
Since Stephen J. Sondheim died on 11/26/21, we must thank him for bravely climbing out of the grave to leave such a courageously perceptive message worthy of his genius and race!
Linh, you left out one of the more exciting and breakthrough plans of our rulers. They want to eliminate fertilizer and shut down a large percentage of farms to please mother Gaia so she can win her battle against the Sun God.
Never before have countries decided that they simply have too much food so decided to wage war against farmers.
Science deniers and pawns of Putin no doubt think the collapse of Sri Lanka is some type of warning not to take this path but they just don't believe hard enough
"One's destruction is assured when it's met with nonchalance, distain, ignorance or just plain cowardice." One of the greatest sentences ever, Linh! Of course, what's left of the pale skinned races have heading that way for a long time. The oligarchs must be ecstatic watching so many young white men butcher each other.
Hi everyone,
Speaking of hiding in bunkers after societal collapse, here's a very funny South African commercial from 2010:

Haha. Thanks.
Hi Linh,
That commercial is a rip-off of the funny movie "Blast From the Past," (1999).
Hi everyone,
Do go here for a screenshot of Zelensky in an "I'M UKRAINIAN" hoodie:

“Help us fight for freedom” - to exploit, to kill, to rob, to infiltrate, to subjugate, to annihilate, and turn your world into a living hell.

All your leaders and oligarchs appear to be Jewish.
And like good Goyim self-sacrifice is the main operating feature.
Why did MH-17 have to be sacrificed, by the way?

Completely OT:
MH-17 was previously MH-370 that "disappeared' into the Indian Ocean, or was hijacked forced to land in Diego Garcia.
Both tragedies were in the year that the U$A led putsch occurred: 2014.
Yep. When MH-17 happened, it was very deja vu. I remember the alleged metadata from Diego Garcia. MH-370 was supposedly filled with telcom chip engineers, was it?
