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.

Today, after all the talk of war over the last 2 weeks, we return to negotiations, with the Russian Ukrainian Working Party meeting again in the UAE, and the US and Iran supposedly preparing to begin talks in Turkey.

The Russian Ukrainian talks seem to me stuck with the two sides discussing - according to Umerov - what look to me like procedural issues. The US Iranian talks by contrast may result in something with the Russians and the Arab states putting ideas on the table. It would be a mistake however in either case to be especially optimistic about any positive outcome. The only reason to be cheerful is that Lindsay Graham seems to be working himself up into a rage over both wars.

Meanwhile the Epstein scandal - which in the UK is now becoming the Peter Mandelson scandal - continues to rage. Some of the commentaries about it which are being published in the UK are actually quite interesting.

Anyway these and many other topics to discuss.....

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.
