I have been subscribing to the Duran since January 2022. It is the only major site that I pay any money to. (I also pay $10 a year to Ground News).

Currently I am in England visiting relatives and friends - one of my sisters was 70 yesterday. I was last in England 20 months ago.

I have met and talked and listened to many since I have been here. Almost all of them only receive their news via corporate and mainstream media.

Here's my assessment of the difference in the 20 months. Even the most die-hard haters of Russia, no longer believe what they are being told by the media that they follow. In addition, many are now scared of the consequences of their government's actions.

There is hope.

I always recommend The Duran to others, even though I occasionally don't agree with their conclusions, and wish they would spend more time covering events in Palestine. They are still the only folks I watch on a daily basis.

Alex Pretti Killing in Minneapolis

Based on video seen (video begins about 3:30 in link) Pretti was helping a woman back away from ICE agents as she was being pepper sprayed by the agents. Pretti was using a GoPro or similar to video ICE agents at the time. The agents then rounded on Pretti and took him to the ground. Pretti appeared to be struggling with ICE agents as they were forcibly searching him.

One ICE agent can be seen finding Pretti 's gun (that he was legally entitled to carry) during the search, and took it from Pretti's person. It's unclear whether the safety on the gun was off or the agent switched the gun to 'fire' mode but the agent definitely and perhaps accidentally fired a round from Pretti's gun after taking the gun.

The muzzle flash of Pretti's gun in the hand of the ICE officer can clearly be seen in the video. The gun was aimed at the pavement and luckily that round did not hit anyone.

Meanwhile during the taking of Pretti's weapon, one officer shouts "gun gun gun!"...

What a treat!

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.
