Dear Armchair Critic,
Your link is hardly news. I was aware of the measure and it was reported well before The Hill ran the story. Here is The Nation covering it 2 years prior. It is dated Jan 14, 2016. http://www.thenation.com/article/politics/congress-has-removed-a-ban-on-funding-neo-nazis-from-its-year-end-spending-bill/ The Azov Wikipedia page included the story in 2016. There were a couple of Democrat senators who were lobbying hard for the ban and some Republican senators keen to see it be removed. Lots of things get tacked on to or stripped from spending bills including a gay rights measure which was initially caused the bill of 2016 to be voted down. http://rollcall.com/2016/05/26/house-rejects-spending-bill-after-gay-rights-measure-added/ While Azov measure may not have made front page news back then, it was hardly a secret and hardly worthy of a good conspiratoralist like yourself. How about you instead take a punt on who was responsible for these rocket attacks in Moldovia. Was it Russian Special Forces or Ukraine infiltrators as flagged at the end of the clip? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfEI1ye7ChY Posted by SteeleRedux, Tuesday, 3 May 2022 7:12:25 PM

Hey SteeleRedux,
ok, you win that one. Serve me right for thinking I had you, good work. I have been a bit out of touch with all the goings on in the independent media for at least some time. - If nothing at all, then at least we've established that the US itself recognised Azov as Neo-Nazis and white supremacists, and that the US should never have been giving them weapons - which is in line with Putin's claims, right? And even that's enough to show that the news we get isn't exactly giving up an unbiased version of the truth. Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 3 May 2022 7:58:05 PM

"How about you instead take a punt on who was responsible for these rocket attacks in Moldova."
I'm not sure I'd like to speculate there, haven't looked at this before, but if I was to speculate with the benefit of 15mins internet browsing... From what I'm reading while Moldova wants to join the EU, most of the government support military neutrality, and are against joining NATO. Moldova is 100% reliant on Russia for gas, and highly reliant on energy from Transnistra. I suppose I'd say that I can't see any reason whatsoever for Russia to attack them if their stance is to stay out of it, and especially since they owe Gazprom hundreds of millions of dollars. - But the gas and energy contracts with Moldovagaz (majority owned by Gazprom) and energy contract MoldGres power plant in Transnistra expired a couple of days ago, not sure the outcome. But I don't like the look of their government, or Soros involvement in the country. I wouldn't like to speculate who, but I don't think Russian special forces would pull up in a family van like bumbling idiots firing rocket launchers. I'd say false flag. But after a second look at the video, it's misleading. It wasn't in Moldova, the attack was in Transnistra. "Explosions rocked a breakaway Russian-controlled territory in Moldova heightening fears the conflict could spread." I'd have to start all over, but not real hard to guess who.. They also took out antennas at the Grigoriopol transmitter site http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Transnistria_attacks Posted by Armchair Critic, Tuesday, 3 May 2022 9:09:40 PM

.
Putin dies and goes to hell, but after a while, he is given a day off for good behavior. So he goes to Moscow, enters a bar, orders a drink, and asks the bartender: -Is Crimea ours? -Yes, it is. -And the Donbas? -Also ours. -And Kyiv? -We got that too. Satisfied, Putin drinks, and asks: -Thanks, how much do I owe you? -5 euros. . Posted by Banjo Paterson, Wednesday, 4 May 2022 2:26:51 AM

Dear Banjo Paterson,
A good joke although the version I heard had the bartender ask for hryvnias. Have you managed to catch Servant of the People yet on SBS yet? Fascinating example of life imitating art. I find I'm frequently pinching myself because of how surreal it is. Posted by SteeleRedux, Wednesday, 4 May 2022 9:13:45 AM

I haven't watched this YouTube video yet;
- But I did buy a hard cover copy of Klaus Schwab's '4th Industrial Revolution', a few months back.
I should probably read it and find out what all the fuss is about.
