WHAT THE MASTER TOLD ME!
My water heater went on the fritz. I ask my son what to do about this. He said he’d call Gazprom and have a master sent to fix it.
Early the next morning the master came and went right to work disassembling my hot water heater. He replaced some screens and an igniter and made some adjustments and the water heater worked like new.
I ask him what I owed him for his work. He ask me if I had a copy of my gas bill. I produce a copy of my last bill and he pointed to a charge of 190 rubles and said, “That is what you pay each month for my service.” A pleasant surprise!
I thought this might be a good opportunity to ask where the gas meter was.
He said you don’t have a meter. You don’t pay for the gas. You only pay Gazprom to deliver it to you. The gas already belongs to the Russian people.
Gazprom buys the gas it takes from the ground from the Russian people and sells it at a profit to other countries, but it delivers the gas to the people of Russia at a price that covers the cost of doing so.
Suddenly I was glad that I didn’t have an electric range. Amazing!

Russia, 10 steps ahead of the 4 Plus 1.

The 4 Plus 1 (Macron, Starmer, Merz, Tusk + Trump) thought they had Putin boxed in by creating a photo+media spectacle in Kiev, around what was essentially the Kellogg Freeze Plan presented two weeks ago in London.

The 4 Plus 1 did what they do best, media trickery. They pushed a plan that masked Minsk 3. They pushed a plan that Russia publicly turned down hundreds of times. They ignored discussing Russia's publically stated terms, June 2024 root causes.

For the first time in history, the losing side in a war believed they were dictating terms, and winning. An ultimatum demanded Russia agree to a 30 day unconditional ceasefire or face Lindsey Graham bone crushing sanctions.

They took instagram photos, 4 European leaders with Churchill #2, walking the streets of Kiev, confident in their geopolitical brillance. Trump fully backed their efforts via phone call, all of it was captured on video.

Then Putin gave his late night speech (western media seated up front) and completely ...

(Micro clip ..wow)

#Polish politician #GrzegorzBraun tore down the European Union flag, wiped his shoes with it, and burned it.

He stated that Poland would not display the symbols of what he called a hostile organization.

"This is Poland, not Brussels."

Globalism is losing.

Firstly, I am in Moscow to honour the memory of more than 60,000 Red Army soldiers who fell in the liberation of Slovakia. It is not clear to me what these brave men have to do with the current international situation.

Secondly, as a high-ranking official of the European Commission, you have no right to criticise a sovereign Prime Minister of a sovereign country who takes a constructive approach to the whole European agenda.

Thirdly, I do not agree with the new Iron Curtain policy on which you are working so hard.

Fourth, how can diplomacy and foreign policy be conducted if politicians are not supposed to meet and have a normal dialogue on issues on which they have different views?"

A quick commentary on the "Piss Summit"
I might not be able to upload much more or do lives for a while

My Fellow Duranianss.

Yes, it's happened again. I have been assaulted by a vicious Malware Bot Virus or whatever 911 Socks is and this thing is bad ! 

However I wanted to give you a "peace" of my mind concerning the "Piece" or piss, as Elensky calls it, as this thing fell to pieces before it even happened.

Coincidentally on the very SAME DAY  this crap happened Saudi Arabia DROPPED the US Petrodollar as a buying currency and NO ONE absolutely NO ONE is talking about this fact anywhere !!!

 

Hope to see you all asap.
