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!

I say Occam’s razor is always useful in such situations. Sometimes the butler really did do it.

Lindsey Graham arrived in Kiev on Friday (July 10th) likely in the evening (given flight time and time zone).

The following day, his birthday, he visited Zelensky (who wished him a happy birthday - see video) and later visited the Skyfall drone facility (a Ukrainian/EU/US drone manufacturing plant).

He was also given a separate presentation on the capabilities of the SkyFall Academy, which trains pilots, technicians, and instructors to work with unmanned systems.

The visit included a tour of production facilities, drone demonstrations (Vampire bombers, Shrike FPV, P1-SUN interceptors), and the SkyFall Academy (training program). Graham was quoted praising the technology and calling for US-Ukraine cooperation.

It occurred on the same day as other meetings (including with Zelensky, per some overlapping reports), making a full-day ...

Even though a bastion of the Vile Empire is dead -- Graham was head of the Armed Services Committee which underwrites profits to the Wall Street Death Merchants -- you can bet that the owners of Wall Street banks and the western monetary system will find someone just as perverse and evil to replace him. So pls don't celebrate too hard. There are plenty more of Graham's ilk in the wings, to state the bleeding obvious.

Anyway on that cheerful note, good luck and regards to all. Perhaps one day the back of this vile stinking western dog will be broken.

How interesting. It took them WEEKS to release the dispatch call from McConnell’s house to 911 and ONLY after people started to ask questions.

With Graham they release a portion of the dispatch call immediately.

Why? Because people are questioning where Graham left his body?

Can a dispatch call be faked? I ask again WHO called for the ambulance ?

The 911 call released for Lindsey Graham is very harrowing. Emergency services had trouble getting inside his home in time. He then died in the hospital.

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.
