I get a cold, depressed, sinking feeling in my gut looking at these places. And that's when the lights and water were on. Regardless, thank you for another clear snapshot of the state of things Linh.

I have often speculated on what life will actually be like (if it is even possible) when the last of the cheap energy is gone. Our would-be elites try to persuade us to move into the high rise cities of the future even as the "vertical life" may be close to extinct.

Those are some grim scenes. Incomprehensible to a boy who drew up in suburban Australia and towns around the place. I've lived in Europe and SE Asia too but the closest I've come was in Denmark where an 8 story block of apartments, with a large courtyard and the city of Silkeborg surrounding it. A quaint low-rise place with open spaces and a river. I'm claustrophobic and my breath starts getting short just looking at these. Large groups of people impinge on my claustrophobia more than anything else, hence my discomfort in crowds too.

Read Putin’s Valdai remarks, and then try to picture someone like Joe Biden (or any US president within recent memory, for that matter), making such a speech.

And further consider—even if Putin is only reading text prepared by a speechwriter, what does it tell us about his expectations of the target audience? Obviously he assumes that they are educated, literate people, otherwise he would not be referring extensively to a 19th century piece of Russian literature. When is the last time any US government official made such a reference? Most of today's US electorate has neither the culture nor the inclination to hear listen to such stuff. It makes their heads hurt.

I can easier picture Biden wearing a pink tutu and ballet slippers, and dancing Swan Lake. I can't picture any US President making a speech which wasn't just full of ridiculous and impossible rhetoric and chest beating boasts and grand declarations. You don't listen to Western leaders expecting actual information. You're after a show. Something to cheer and clap to ay most, like you would a street performer.

Senile Brandon was just interviewed by a tranny, America's newest protected class. He wants children to be permitted to cut off their genitals and breasts without parental knowledge or permission. How can any American young man or woman with any concept of morality agree to fight for these satanic globohomo values?

NBA Jew Emperor, Adam Silver, has suspended Kyrie Irving 5 games for failing to "forcefully denounce antisemitism".

What can and can't be said ? If you call Henry Kissinger a War Criminal, are you being antisemitic ?

The Empire is running roughshod over the inarticulate Irving for now.

If Kyrie wants to keep his money, he's gonna have to "Yessum Boss" his way back into the good graces of the powers that be.

Thanks for the writing, Linh. It seems you have taken the thoughts directly from my mind and put them in words. I also find it amazing how on point the Russian leader is in his speeches and views, mirroring my 'unacceptable' views about the society I come from and had so much respect for until recently.

I'm going to visit my family in Vancouver, Canada at the end of the month. My father has been feeling ill - he had a cold that was hard to shake, weakness and respiratory issues. Of course they tested for the 'rona' and my mom called me an anti-vaxxer when I informed her that he should test for blood clots which are a known side effect of the shot. The propaganda is strong. Can I recommend you and your readers to Edward Curtin, who doesn't own a smart phone. He recently wrote a good text on propaganda https://www.lewrockwell.com/2022/11/edward-curtin/self-destructive-social-habits-loneliness-and-propaganda/

Wish me luck and hope for me that the next psy-op doesn't begin until I return to Vietnam. I imagine my family and I won't have anything significant to say to each other, but I'm looking forward to walking in the woods and the rain. Good luck in your journey as well.

Good luck Matthew. I also have family in Vancouver and would dearly love to go there if times were different, but of course they are not. Lift a glass to the Lions for me.

You mean the mountain, "The Lions", correct?

If you could see the mess they're making of Vancouver with vast areas of nice residential housing being mowed under and tasteless 600 foot China towers going up, you'd never go back.

I grew up and schooled in Van from1961 to 1989.

The beginning of the end of Vancouver was promotion and staging of Expo'86, which led to all kinds of dirty organized crime-type capitalism by FIRE. The prime absurdity was that Canada was unable to keep its most lucrative real estate and "had no choice" but to sell to Li 'Cash In Kaching" Kashing for less than market value. Why? Interest rates were at 14% at the time and the citizens of Canada were repeatedly told "we cannot afford X"!

The BORG was just beginning their mass formation of the masses...

I believe one reason that Canada became a new gangsters paradise was that the US enacted far more stringent proceeds of crime confiscation legislation (the RICO act?) and because Canada did not, it became an attractive prospect for people who were likely to be targeted in the US.

Yes the symptoms were there long, long ago - its just building to a crescendo now. What makes me angry is Van being named one of the world's most liveable cities with the ugly sore of the drug/alcohol/homeless area near its heart. Such hypocrisy. Real estate prices in Oz are bad enough but they are astonishing in Van now.

See my comment just above yours. Vancouver is crowded and doesn't go in much for urban planning from what I could make out. The airport, the anthropological museum, the Japanese Gardens, however - still beautiful. And False Creek is brilliant - I worked in a dingey office opposite the Finning tractor depot years before the area was developed and continue to be astonished by what a good job they did of that project.

Expand full comment

Absolutely the mountains. I am not a football followers except the beautiful game, soccer. You used to be able to see the Lions from the roof of my mother's coop flat on False Creek until one visit I realised they were gone, obscured by what Joseph Camponello refers to as 'tasteless 600 foot China towers'. I couldn't put it better myself.

The US still has the anal agenda (anal sex, anal marriage and child mutilation vis gender fluidity) to offer the world so that their families can breakdown and mental illness can increase just like in the US. That is why the anal revolution is pushed by the US in every country. Blinken bragged about his talking about anal sex every time he meets with the Saudis. For some narrow minded reason the anal agenda isn't going over well with Russia and other races.

So the next thing the US has to offer is safety from invasion and color revolutions if you do what the US says.

In other words the US has become the global Mafia. They try to give the planet an offer they can't refuse but more and more countries are refusing it.

Agree with your Philly friend, that cheesesteak from the Wanderlust looks like shit.

The NFL is in discussions with the Pentagon to have WW3 delayed until after the Super Bowl. No reply yet from the Patton & Nimitz wanna-be's.

Meanwhile, your Seahawks came into my hometown today & beat the hapless Cards 31-21. Geno Smith should be Comeback POY. You oughta read the online comments. They want Cards Coach Kliff Kingsbury's head on a platter lol.

I used to believe in vaccines, but now, after "Covid"... Not so much. I didn't take this recent mRNA vaxx, then I had "Covid", and it was more or less a mild flu. Other people took the vax, and died (Julie Powell is the latest one: https://www.msn.com/en-us/health/medical/julie-powells-last-tweet-before-her-death-at-49-causes-confusion-among-fans/ar-AA13Epk3

I had rubeola as a child, even if I had had the MMR vaccine. My sister had whooping cough, even if she also had the vaccine (and the disease was supposedly almost extinct).

My thinking now is that vaccines are mostly a scam. They work, at most, maybe 50% of the time, and they bring a lot of problems of their own. Now Pfizer wants to vaccinate pregnant women to "protect" their fetuses from a "scary virus" called RSV (which I had never heard about before.

It's all a scam for money (or other more sinister reasons), let's get real.

I'm watching this unfold with as much admiration and inspiration in the words and actions of Vladimir Putin, as I am overwhelmed with disgust and loathing for every last one of the worthless dregs of humanity leading every country of the West. The West in which I am reluctantly trapped and desperate to be away from. Great moments of history and this is surely one, aren't as much fun when you're on the wrong side of them.

Linh like I recently told James Corbett and Broc West, the video editor of the Corbett Report, all we can do is learn and share the best truth we can that we know about at whatever time that makes sense to us. Yes there is a big difference in a war for defense and liberty and a war of psyops and aggression. I've noticed lately how some people are still trying to keep hidden some very simple truths that have been spun, like many things and words have been, since 1913. I've never been able to get a good handle on Putin, or any so-called leader who has not so far called for truth and justice for the obvious 9/11 scam and 2001 weaponized anthrax scam starting seven days after the 9/11 scam where many of us learned later that weaponized anthrax from a lab killed five people and also was sent to the two of "our" US Senators who just so happen to be slowing down passage of the so-called "Patriot Act". To not do so is being part of some kind of bs for sure for the simple reason of what these psyop scams and coverups mean. Also Double Speak is what people like Alex Jones and Donald Trump do too, not unlike what George Orwell wrote about in his book 1984

Here's some information that makes sense to me so far. You can find this information and a whole lot more on my substack blog, including in the Truth Advocate Resources on the right hand side.

The Nuremberg enterprise violated ancient and fundamental principles of justice. The victorious Allies acted as prosecutor, judge and executioner of the German leaders. The charges were created especially for the occasion, and were applied only to the vanquished. Defeated, starving, prostrate Germany was, however, in no position to oppose whatever the Allied occupation powers demanded. As even some leading Allied figures privately acknowledged at the time, the Nuremberg trials were organized not to dispense impartial justice, but for political purposes.

Yes some history was bad all over the world but from my research I discovered that our Founders actually gave us a Republic, and for good reason, not a Democracy with electronic voting machines now even, which is one of the dumbest things ever from mankind. They gave us a Republic from their experience of fighting these same psyop scammer bastards from England to protect us from an insouciant and easily manipulated majority. I hear some people say sometimes that some people won't wake up. But I know some people that do believe me about these psyop scams and just say there's nothing we can do about it, so more people know than some think I believe. When some people say there's nothing we can do about it I think in reality that's just them not admitting the importance of getting out from under these psyop scams. There are unfortunately some people, who I never would have thought at all, who will not admit the importance of being responsible in these areas. And here's some information I believe is primarily how these psyop scammers have done a number on the world so far, besides acting like they don't see things. I've also noticed these scammers are always co-opting, twisting and using honest people's ideas on us in the legacy mainstream media, and trying to redefine all they can too. Like The Tea Party of 2007 onward.

Oh Linh I forgot to say like I usually do if my Share WW I & II Truth for Peace bitchute channel is restricted to you like it is to some because of their location, use some VPN like https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/ to access the internet where you can change your location to one that works and you can view the channel. I have other channels so it's not like I focus on this only. Also just FYI I switched to Proton email https://proton.me/ a while back with no problems and think so far it's better than any US or BBC legacy mainstream media and Big Tech. Proton email has its own built in VPN, and they recently came out with Proton Drive for storage too.

Of course the Soviets did not go easy on urban planning! The fact, then, that these hideous buildings were built in the 1960s means that they were saving land, no one knows why. Nevertheless, the Russian people paid the folly of communism at an exorbitant price, and they continue to pay an exorbitant price in order to live. Perhaps only the Chinese have paid so much. The West has gone mad, and there is nothing anyone can do about it: the dementia has taken away centuries of civilization, often horrible, but always understandable. Now nothing can be understood anymore. The United States can afford to have a president who would not even be good enough for a circle of old men playing modest sums of cards for a beer. Is that even possible?
