Please read this relatively short article.

memri.org/reports/anti-l…
It’s about the Russian attack on Ukraine. It looks at a recent article written by Alexandr Dugan who tries to justify the attack and provide rationale for Russia’s claim to Ukraine.

Dugan reveals Putin believes Russia the older, smarter, more experienced brother to Ukraine.
However, this is an inversion of real history. Kyiv is much older than the Russian empire.

Kyiv is the Jerusalem of Eastern Europe. A past Ukrainian king adopted Christianity and annexed the Slavic nations and then established Orthodox Christianity as the official faith.
Long before Russia and Moscow became a cultural centre, Kyiv was the city central to establishing Slavic culture, religion and ethnicity.

Ukraine doesn’t need to claim it’s identity from Russia, it’s the other way around.
Dugan also refers to a new world order.

Similar to the inverted meanings used by GOP Republicans and Canadian Conservatives, Dugan states that Russia’s intent is to bring freedom to Ukraine by liberating it from western influence and establishing the historical past.
This past includes a single autocratic monarch. A homogenous culture including one faith, one purpose (the glory of Russia) and rejection of western democracy and secular indulgences.

Well guess what. This is the same end game as GOP Republicans & Canadian conservatives.
Autocracy is considered ordered liberty. Adhering to a narrow interpretation of the Orthodox Bible is considered spiritual salvation and thus freedom.

Susan’s article is a clear threat to established Western Democracy and a declaration of war on modern social democracy.
There’s a reason Boebert, Trump and MTG are all encouraging the liberation of Canada from PMJT’s tyranny.

They’re advancing the exact same agenda as Putin, but in the Americas.
Dugan also reveals the allies of Russia: China; Belarus; Iran. All seek the same radical inverted ‘liberation’ of their traditional territories.

This should scare the crap out of every human being who isn’t welcoming devolution to pre-Enlightenment Feudal society.
Because that’s what these plans include. A major global reinstallation of absolute power and widespread poverty, ignorance and servitude to the wealthy. Which includes extermination of those who refuse or resist.
As I listen with disappointment & disbelief to the hubristic self confidence of the pundits who think Putin has made grave errors, completely ignoring the fifth columns Putin has installed globally that will activate soon enough, I’m hoping enough people will recognize the plan.
There is merit to criticism of smug and arrogant liberals & academics who revel in their social status and popularity by the number of degrees, tv appearances or books that they’ve written get public admonition, but can’t see the tsunami of radicalized extremists ready to attack.
There is merit to the criticism of idealistic progressives who still believe in unicorns, rainbows and the establishment of utopian left libertarian societies if we just destroy all forms of liberalism and capitalism and adopt socialism or communism and collective economics.
They’re deluded, inflexible and can’t recognize their benevolent authoritarianism is still the removal of liberty and can therefore never be implemented without violent force and continued enforcement.
But there is only condemnation and scorn for those who have adopted Dugan’s ideology. Whether we call it fascism, Trumpism, Dominionism or radicalized extremist cult beliefs and values.
“A rose by any other name smells as sweet” (Shakespeare) and totalitarian authoritarianism by any other name still kills the soul and removes freedom and liberty.

@ethniccanuck Yes it will.

As I witness the vicious dehumanization occurring in Ukraine, by Ukrainians towards Russians, the tone of rhetoric is only slightly more toxic than what you find here in Canada. Several conservative politicians & many supporters walk a dangerous line.
@ethniccanuck The dehumanization witnessed for this war is disturbing. But it’s also a rational adaptation to the current situation.

Fight or flight kicks in when we are under existential threat. A paradigm shift occurs to permit individuals to defend themselves & their loved ones.
@ethniccanuck No longer does our mental frame include all human beings as deserving of respect and compassion. It changes to reject those that are causing the threat. That shift must occur to use deadly force. To allow reasonable compassionate people to kill ‘othered’ human beings.

JCCF involved in the truck convoy confirmed.
Look who else is involved in truck convoys. 👀

Mike Flynn.

Weird all these cross connections that lead to Russia.

Just so weird.

Did I forget to mention that Putin, Flynn and Carpay/JCCF are all using evangelical religious Dominionist tactics to recruit and indoctrinate. Image
What’s interesting, is that they represent 3 different religious sects. Putin is Orthodox Catholic, Flynn is Protestant Evangelical, and Carpay is Roman Catholic. Demonstrating the willingness of sects to put their differences aside in pursuit of a common cause.

Focussing Kenney’s attempt to restrict mask mandates in Alberta municipalities is distracting Canadians from talking about this. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️⤵️
So when you’ve finished stating your opinion on Kenney’s dictator side show, please remember a Justice Minister who interferes with administration of law enforcement has attempted to obstruct Justice.

Which in Canada, and Alberta, remains a crime.
Kenney is permitting corruption to define and represent his regime.

Scandal after scandal is bad enough.

So I thought I’d substantiate the claims about progressive left and the widespread delusional beliefs & twisted values many have.
There are radical left progressives working especially hard to criticize the moderates (read centrists, liberals and moderate socialists) and their “apparent” indifference to or support of Nazi and fascist ideology.
Even more progressive lefties fail to realize this is propaganda and disinformation generated by the far right who have infiltrated the left, or by delusional people who see the world in black and white rigidity.

If you are still struggling to understand what is happening in global politics, please listen to this episode of this podcast.

It’s an excellent overview of the ideological beliefs that are the foundations of Putin’s and Russia’s motivation. podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the…
It provides the historical context for Russia’s war on Ukraine. It explains the global appeal of this narrative and identifies the people most in support to remove liberalism and create a world where absolute authority reigns.
If you’re stuck on “it sounds like a conspiracy theory” then don’t bother.

But if you want to understand the historical context and the level of danger the globe is in, please listen.

This article disturbs me.

The obvious murdered indigenous woman of course.

But the most disturbing part? Her daughter is left without a mother and the best Ft. MacMurray can do is $2000 in donations to support her.
Ft. Mac is one of the wealthiest jurisdictions in North America.

And donations to help provide for a five year old child who will never see her mother again are $2000.

That’s disgusting! I’m flabbergasted. And repulsed.

What did that little girl do to deserve to be ignored?
Nothing but be indigenous. Nothing but be the daughter of a murdered mother.

Where are the deep pockets that funded the truck convoy? Empty I guess.

Yes there are tensions between indigenous communities and fossil fuel interests. But this is a little child.
