Scenes in central Belgrade tonight as the pro-NATO, pro-EU "Serbia Against Violence" coalition (who everyone here hates, and lost the election badly fair and square) demonstrate their enduring commitment to peace and democracy by...trying to incite a violent insurrection.
This is despite the US ambassador recognising Vucic's win. If this was happening in Washington DC, everyone involved in the nonsense would be in jail. For a very long time. As it stands, ever-tolerant and respectful Serbia will just let the NED-funded moronicity slide.
Some protesters waved EU flags (30% public support for joining, c/o Western-funded polls). Some waved flags bearing the logo of Otpor!, locally hated CIA assets who helped bring down Milosevic. Serbia Against Violence just made even more people hate them. Genius.

Dragan Bjelogrlić, actor, and one of Serbia Against Violence's most prominent members, recently gave an interview in which he blamed the party's loss on stupid peasants living outside Belgrade refusing to vote for them. Which went down well...

A prominent Serbia Against Violence activist has openly admitted staging video footage of pro-government electoral fraud, which was reported on as authentic by compliant media locally. The party *undoubtedly* engaged in fraud for their own benefit.

Of course some protesters will have legitimate grievances. As Otpor! amply demonstrated, legitimate grievances are evilly exploited by Western powers for malign purposes. Which is precisely why most Serbs completely reject the would-be insurrectionists. They know the score.
Also important to note the Serbian government, contrary to its universal characterisation in the Western media, is...pro-Western. The country has much, much closer political, economic, military and diplomatic ties with the EU/US than Russia. Image
@jatamanssi @Elkinsianna By contrast, I've been violently assaulted and arrested by UK police for quite literally being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and even not having ID (despite this theoretically not being a crime in the UK).

🧵: Made this point in countless articles and interviews in past few months, but it bears repeating here: it is completely unfathomable that European leaders remain determinedly committed to keep the Ukraine proxy war when it is irretrievably lost for the West. And scary too...
By any objective measure, this has been a disaster on every conceivable level for Europe. They've deindustrialised, wrecked their economies, borderline disarmed by sending equipment to Kiev. The Russians are still marching, and the US - even if slowly - is backing off. It's over.
Only now are European leaders and their mainstream lackeys getting serious about rearmament, conscription, increased defence spending, etc. Their populations don't want any part of it, and nothing implemented now will be remotely meaningful in the short-term. It's all rhetoric. Image

🧵: This is huge. Priscilla Johnson McMillan interviewed Lee Harvey Oswald in the Soviet Union in 1959. She played a key role in shaping public perceptions of LHO as mentally unstable lone wolf Communist after JFK's assassination. But her role in the coverup went a lot deeper...
In September 1964, the Warren Commission was desperately trying to square the circle of LHO being in two places at once - Mexico City, and Cuban exile Sylvia Odio's home in Dallas, Texas. The Mexico trip in itself was deeply suspect. More here:

Warren Commissioner Senator Richard Russell disbelieved the single bullet bullshit and that LHO had gone to Mexico. So Priscilla miraculously found a bus ticket stub showing Lee travelled there while interviewing his wife Marina at home. More here:

BREAKING: Absolutely *damning* ECHR ruling finds Kiev bears heavy responsibility for the massacre of scores anti-Maidan activists in Odessa, May 2014. Inevitable Western media blackout on this, as it confirms what Russia was saying all along.🧵...

echr.coe.int/w/judgment-con…Image
This being the ECHR (with a Ukrainian judge presiding, no less), the ruling is at pains to 'bothsides' the burning to death of dozens of anti-Maidan activists by Neo-Nazi lunatics. Nonetheless, it acknowledges local police and fire services "deliberately" allowed it to happen. Image
Nobody and nothing stepped in to rescue the anti-Maidan activists as they burned to death, and the ECHR finds this failure "went beyond an error of judgment or carelessness". Maidan authorities actively wanted these people to die, for the crime of being Russian. Image

🧵: Missed this ASTONISHING report from Feb 13th on how Germany's military is considerably *less* battle-ready than it was when the proxy war started. As a result of sending so much equipment to Ukraine, it's basically defenceless, and it will take years to rebuild what was lost. Image
When proxy war erupted, soon to be ousted Chancellor Scholz gave a bombastic speech about a "historic turning point" (Zeitenwende) that would mean revolutionary change in Europe, including building up Germany's military significantly. But this didn't happen. The *opposite* did. Image
Despite this, Germany reamins "alongside Poland...tasked by NATO with providing the bulk of ground forces that would act as first responders to any Russian attack on the alliance's eastern flank." Well, they're completely fucked if that happens, aren't they? Like instantly. Image

🧵: For those within the Empire's inner core, the full, seismic implications of Trump's "aid" suspension may not be fully obvious. But here in the Balkans, where USAID/NED has penetrated every sphere of public, political and even daily life, the impact is absolutely monumental. Image
In Bosnia, all basic functions of the state were post-war forcibly outsourced to USAID, NED, Soros, etc. On top of enfeebling the local population, it created enormous opportunities for grift and corruption, which anyone who could took full advantage of.

mintpressnews.com/enslaved-nonpr…
Not every country in the region is quite so dependent, although there are entire sectors of local economies where the only employment opportunities are with USAID/NED/etc-funded orgs. And this isn't restricted to the Balkans - similar story elsewhere in the former Soviet sphere.

🧵: Relatedly, I find effort to frame low intensity Donbas civil war Kiev was losing post-Maidan as an unadmitted Russian invasion Ukraine was winning *very* interesting. British intelligence at the forefront, obviously. It was laying foundations for what happened in Feb 2022.
Take for instance this Times article from 2016, which claims Ukraine was experiencing "the Third World War on a tiny scale" in Donbass, and the conflict exposed "secrets" of Russian military doctrine and strategy the West could capitalise on. Complete and utter fantasy. Image
This article resulted from visit of Ukrainian ultranationalist paramilitaries to UK, arranged by British intelligence. They met with the British Army, journalists, and politicians. Bios of these fighters suggest they were exaggerating their military records *greatly*. Image
