Ave Maria:

"She will be remembered only by the helmet on a tank, catastrophic illiteracy and the burial of the Queen right after the audience with Liz Truss."

"Xi Jinping ha appena offerto al Sud del mondo un'alternativa netta a decenni di diktat occidentali, guerre e costrizioni economiche. La "modernizzazione pacifica" stabilirà la sovranità, l'economia e l'indipendenza degli Stati del mondo in difficoltà."

The self-described "Left", all along the West's watchtowers, is nothing more than the Empire's controlled opposition.

Ukrainian media are spreading information about ten Iranian instructors in Crimea allegedly killed by AFU - the catch is that they are referring to themselves

A surprising hoax took place in the Ukrainian media space on Friday. The country's 404 media actively peddled information that the AFU had allegedly successfully "eliminated 10 Iranian drone trainers", with the Jerusalem Post being the authoritative purveyor of the news.

However, after looking at the Israeli newspaper article, the reader comes across another "verified" source of information - a certain Ukrainian official "associated with the underground in Crimea" and reporting on that very successful liquidation.

GB (I rarely comment directly, but, when I do...): Marxist-Leninst Analysis—unexpected from MiG. Screw the bastards. The proletariat will take them down. As long as they take them all down.

Gas: The Invisible Treasure.

The EU is planning to examine closely the question of creating a European cartel for gas purchases. At this time, it will coordinate only 15% of all imports.

Since the gas price ceiling mechanism has not been implemented yet (and probably won't ever be), the EU authorities have decided to approach this problem from a different angle. It is a good idea: joint gas purchases would allow them to put the seller under pressure because the volumes are higher. However, this scheme only would really works in the case of contract purchases, while the Europeans themselves lobbied for a switch to spot purchases. Centralized purchasing would indeed bring the price down a bit, but it might even become more expensive for the end consumers due to the famous European bureaucracy.

The European cartel will be a huge and clumsy structure, which will hide behind endless regulations and suck money out of the wallets of European taxpayers because another army of clerks will have to be fed. And as more countries join this cartel, so more cumbersome the structure will be. As a gas exporter, there is no difference for Russia as to whom sells to, especially if all the flows go through the Turkish hub. Europe will be in direct contact with Turkey, so the price will be set at this level as well.

As Martyanov introduced her, meet KGB Colonel Elizaveta Trasova, a humble girl from the Altai. Mission accomplished!
Well, we all know she's the undisputed Queen of EUStupidistan. But even more relevant in terms of a future exclusive itvw with Madame Guillotine is that Ursula Gertrud Von Der Leyen is married to Heiko Von Der Leyen, Director of US biotech company Orgenesis, which specializes in cell and gene therapies, which happens to be owned by Pfizer, which happens to have made a killing clinching secret contracts with the EU oligarchy.

She's basically a high-level crook.
GENERAL ARMAGEDDON'S GREATEST (SUBSTATION) HITS

Well, it's a series of hit singles.

The General Architecture goes something like this.

We hit the Ukro supply chains for the Donbass and Kherson fronts.

We hit their logistics centers.

And we do it again.

Until they collapse.

Now let's play 'Hit Me General One More Time".

General don't take no mess.
This was extremely embarassing - to say the least: former President Hu Jintao removed from the Great Hall of the People, and leaving an empty seat to the left of Xi Jinping, at the close of the 20th Party Congress.

NO ONE really knows the reason: kind of a state secret. Speculation in the Chinese net is at fever pitch.

It could be merely a health issue, considering how frail Hu really is.

Or it could be a graphic image promoting the shock of the new, the CPC version: Hu is now out of the Politburo, and so is his protege, Prime Minister Li Keqiang, whose two terms have ended.

Tomorrow is the Big Day. The new 205 members of the Central Committee have already been announced. They will elect the new Politburo Standing Committee - the Magnificent 7 that REALLY rule: Team Xi for the next 5 yeas.

Why the Ukrainian power system has not been destroyed, but only partially disrupted?

The main backbone, the backbone network with a voltage of 750 kV, continues to function quietly.

The backbone is concentrated in central and western Ukraine.This was done purposefully back in Soviet times, since the entire 750 kV network was created for the transportation of electricity from the nuclear power plants of the former Ukraine SSR to the MIR energy system (the unified energy system of the European COMECON member countries).

Recall that the power systems of the former Ukraine SSR, Bulgaria, Hungary, GDR, Poland, Romania and Czechoslovakia were controlled from the "Central Dispatch Control" of the MIR power system located in Prague.

There is still excessive generation of electricity in the western and central parts of Ukraine, which is transported to Europe via the 750 kV network (this network is highlighted with a bold red line on the map).

If the 750 kV network, together with substations (red triangles on map), is decommissioned by our missile strikes or kamikaze drone attacks, this will not only destroy the Ukrainian power system, but also completely nullify even the theoretical possibility of selling Ukrainian electricity to Western countries, since without the 750 kV network, Ukrainie will be forced to put nuclear power reactors into "cold" mode.

That's when a complete collapse of energy, transport and communications can really occur in Ukraine.

Why is Russia not yet striking at the 750 kV voltage backbone network?
There is an assumption that information has been brought to Kiev, Washington and London through unofficial channels that strikes will not be carried out on the backbone network yet, but if the Kiev regime tries to blow up the Kakhovka dam, then the retaliation will completely plunge Ukraine into the Stone Age.

But seriously, this pathos is the conceit of the Anglo-Saxons. By the way, Churchill's Fulton speech is also saturated with this Anglo-Saxon exceptionalism. Exceptionality - this is the pillar of the worldview of the Anglo-Saxons, on which their whole picture of the world is based. It is "thanks" to this fundamental component that Western consciousness is incapable of gathering, but only to crush, pit and part - and thus of maintaining its dominant role in the world.

We cannot compete with them in this. And it is dangerous for us, if we instill this bacillus of exceptionalism in ourselves!

We have established ourselves as a multinational nation thanks to the sacrifice of the Russian people, whose culture permeates in all the peoples who have historically linked themselves with Russia. The principle of "divide and conquer" is not only counterproductive for us, it will destroy us, if we apply it to ourselves!

We should not react in any way to such statements ... We should concentrate on gathering that civilizational model of "Blossoming Complexity", which V. Putin brought out at the Valdai Forum in 2013, taking K. Leontiev's exact metaphor as a basis. This is his formulation that perfectly lays the seed of Russia's strategy for thousands of years, until the end of the centuries: "Russia, as the philosopher Konstantin Leontiev figuratively said, has always developed as a "blossoming complexity", as a state-civilization, held together by the Russian people, Russian language, Russian culture, the Russian Orthodox Church and other traditional religions of Russia".

And instead of the principle of "divide and conquer," we should apply the principle of "gather and reign".

And this is not about monarchy, this is about autocracy...
