The New “Post‑Office” Gold Rush - December 6, 2025

"When former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was spotted in Imo State, Nigeria on Thurs Dec 4, 2025, the question on many Nigerians’ lips was simple: was he paid, & if so, how much? Answer, according to Mr Bernard Obimma, a UK-based public affairs analyst who claimed to be familiar with the arrangement, is almost certainly “yes – & very handsomely.”

Our Alexander mentioned a highly-praised piece that he wrote that '... shows why the Litvinenko Inquiry was a farce and why its report is in the end worthless.'
I am looking forward to reading it later today.

Let's talk about some news - Dec. 5

Spiegel Leak: EU leaders protective of the Green Goblin. Delusion that the Russian frozen assets are a trump card. The big reveal, European elite do not like Witkoff. Shocking stuff :)

Who are the leaders on the leaked call: Macron, Merz, Stubb, Ursula, NATO’s Rutte, Meloni, Tusk, Frederiksen, Norway’s Store, EU’s Costa and Zelensky.

Notably absent… 008 Starmer.

There is, he said, “a big danger” for Zelenskyy. Russia’s demands for territorial concessions are one of the most delicate points in the negotiations.

Alexander as yesterdays guest with the MD4CEI

Good Day my fellow Duranians.

Last night Alexander was the special guest on the Medical Doctors for Covid Ethics International, hosted by Dr. Stephen Frost and moderated by Charles Kovess and team.

It was a brilliant discussion and @alexmercouris the praise after your meeting and you left was tremendous!
Most everyone unilaterally agreed that your explanations were erudite and very diplomatic, which we have come very accustomed to here.

I hope everyone enjoys this wonderful debate and discussion with Alexander!

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.
