👧🏼🐻 The aim of children’s entertainment, it seems, should be to engender eternal hatred of all NATO’s enemies and Masha and Mishka must be no exception to that.

Once upon a time, in a country far, far away, there lived in a big, big forest a little girl called Masha, who loved to act the maggot all day long. Her best friend was Mishka, a big brown bear who lived in a cave in the forest. Masha had a cousin called Dasha, who played with them and the penguin who lived with Mishka and Mishka’s cousin, a cute panda bear from far away China. Rosie the pig, the two wolves who lived in the abandoned ambulance and many other ducks, squirrels, hares and tigers also liked to join in the fun.

It was such a very happy forest with such very happy little girls and boys who played with these happy animals, that all the boys and girls of that country far, far away liked to hear all about their funny adventures. 


Recipe for Disaster, one of their cutest adventures, has been watched millions of times on youtube and some 4.5 billion times in Masha’s native language, thus making it youtube’s tenth most viewed video of all time and the most viewed video on youtube that is not a music video.

But there is a problem ⤵️

🥁🥁🥁 As Masha’s native language is Russian…

🛡🪆 Russia’s ’special operation’ in Ukraine could be considered the first of many battles to keep the crass ideology of the West far from Russian borders.

After taking major steps to align itself with the institutions of Western philosophy and thinking, Russia is now giving the West a serious rethink as it struggles to defend the homeland from on onslaught of cultural and social rot.

🚩 Winning their current Great Patriotic War is as crucial to today’s Russians as was winning those thrust on their forefathers in 1812 and 1941.

Because Ukraine is but one of several NATO fronts, victory in Ukraine does not ensure anything unless victory is also won in Russia’s economic and cultural wars as well. All these different fronts are, at day’s end, as one.

Think otherwise?

Just look at the most recent targets of the EU’s punitive sanctions 👀👇

📖 Andrew Doyle’s The New Puritans: How The Religion of Social Justice Captured The Western World begins and ends with America’s Salem Witch Trials.

In between, he has twelve chapters, each of whose titles has a religious connotation and all of which, when taken collectively, fillet not only Critical Race Theory (CRT) but all of its neo Marxist derivatives.

If you are looking for a book to assail all such nonsense, this is the tome for you.

⚖️ Language is one of many fronts in the war that is being waged against Truth, Goodness, and ultimately Reality by the minions of the Evil One. Manoeuvres on that peculiar front pass largely unperceived.

Ukraine is a small but symbolically significant sector of that front ⚔️

Until matters are conclusively settled there, as they must be, light should continue to be shed on the abuses that abound.

🎞 Kustendorf, the 16th annual film festival at a time of the ‘new world insanity’ (around us), wars, the end of history, culture(s) cancelled, in the post-truth and post – justice world. Does it make any sense to go on fighting?

The original word in Serbian that Emir Kusturica is using here has multiple meanings: to go in fighting, struggling, campaigning and there lies Kusturica’s genius in the choice of words among other thing. Do the culture (and) the art make any sense… does Kustendorf make any sense?

🎶 NATO’s campaign against Tchaikovsky and, by extension, against all Russian and global culture may best be viewed as a chess game where NATO are the white hats and civilisation must play black.

NATO’s aim in this sick game is to uncouple Tchaikovsky from the rest of his team, to control the cultural centre of the board and, by removing him from their cultural chess board, to pulverise Russian culture, to demote the Russian language to a patois of little, if any, significance and to say that Russian culture is as nothing to the riches Zelensky and his cross-dressing friends bring to our culturally diverse world.

Though it is a solid, if somewhat demonic plan, Tchaikovsky’s CV makes it fatally flawed. It cannot and must not succeed.

🇷🇺 The chorus of Ya Russkiy, I am Russian, sung here by these beautiful young Russians has, to date, racked up in excess of 8 million views for a number of important reasons that form the core of this article.

Though there is much to unpack in this short video clip, let’s begin with Shaman, aka Yaroslav Dronov, the Russian singer-songwriter and music producer, whose good looks and great talent have helped to propel Ya Russkiy into currently being Russia’s most popular song, with this version having 37 million youtube hits so far, not that far behind his earlier “Rise Up” (Russian: Встанем; romanized: Vstanem) hit, which was dedicated to the war heroes of Russia’s Great Patriotic War.

Though Rise Up and Ya Russkiy have broadly similar themes, the latter song is the more pertinent not only to this article but to the young women confidently and majestically singing along to it. Ya Russkiy states, in its catchy little way, that “I am Russian”, happy and proud in my own skin with it and the world can like it or lump it.

The greater relevance of those lines is that, instead of giving these young women vacuous teenage love crushes as most Western rock singers do, Shaman is instilling true pride and confidence in and of themselves 🤍💙 ❤️

🌒 Brzezinski had identified Ukraine as Russia’s potential Achilles’ Heel, precisely Ukraine’s ethnic-cultural divisions that could be exploited to weaken Russia. This point is crucial for determining the impulse behind the Ukraine war today.

The Ukraine war is not about ‘democracy promotion’. Western intelligence services have had a history of close links with Ukrainian ultra-nationalism, dating from the end of WW2. Possibly, these committed ultra-nationalists were seen as ideal material for stirring a war against everything Russian – that which Brzezinski had in mind when the wrote his Grand Chessboard in 1997.

In any event, it was on this particular pillar – ethnic-cultural mobilisation vs the Russian presence, culture and language in Ukraine – that western intelligence services focussed.

Can a West of shared, cultural like-mindedness ‘imagine itself’ into total cultural war against the values of Russia? 🪆

🍿 To say that The Big Lebowski – written, produced, and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen – has captured the heart of Hollywood would be a serious understatement. The 1998 crime comedy, aside from becoming a cult favorite for millions of film aficionados, was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry by the Library of Congress for its “cultural, historical, and aesthetical significance.” And according to at least one poll, the film is considered the best of all time, surpassing even Citizen Kane and Star Wars. But is this iconic production, chock full of quotable gems (“Obviously, you’re not a golfer”), dream sequences and idiosyncratic dialogue, significant for other less conspicuous reasons as well?

The primary thesis of this essay is to determine, in pure ‘conspiracy theorist’ fashion, whether the The Big Lebowski was created as a vehicle for predictive programming and subliminal messaging for the epic historic event of our times, now known concisely as ‘9/11,’ or for pure and innocent adult entertainment.

In the movie, we have a dual reference to the ‘New World Order’ and the terrorist attacks of 9/11, two critical events separated by 11 years 😱

😵‍💫 The New Normal of the Self-Styled International Community

Not one of the items that follow will strike a typical resident of the “collective West,” aka the 14 percent of the world that styles itself the “international community,” as inherently improbable or even odd in many instances. They have grown accustomed to it; it is part of their everyday landscape. Here, for illustrative purposes, is a select but representative sample of policies and prescribed behaviours that in that bizarre but thankfully shrinking part of the world have come to constitute the new normal.

✌️ ‘Restoring True Heritage’ in a Woke World

In 2023 the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York classified Ilya Repin (1844-1930) and Ivan Aivazovsky (1817-1900) as Ukrainian, rather than Russian artists, based on the fact that they were born in what would later be Ukraine. Aivazovsky’s case is especially curious as his hometown Feodosia in Crimea became part of Soviet Ukraine 54 years after his death…

📖 Zelensky’s Ukrainian Institute of National Memory are disgracing themselves and their French and American backers yet again. This time, they are examining the writings of renowned novelist and playwright Mikhail Bulgakov to see if he was a lackey of Russian imperialism.
