The charade of 'negotiations' which has taken place in Berlin is now over and all the indications are that the war in Ukraine will not only continue but will only end when the Russians have won a military victory. Indeed Putin has all but said as much today. That victory draws ever closer, with claimed Ukrainian 'victories' in Kupiansk and Novorossiysk exposed as media fabrications.

Meanwhile I notice that the US, having accepted wholesale Zelensky's and the UK/EU's 'revisions' to its 'peace proposals', is once again discussing further sanctions. The Europeans for their part are pressing forward with their plan to misappropriate the Russian assets and have also begun punishing dissidents, starting with Xavier Moreau and Jacques Baud.

Prof. Dr. Sucharit Bhakdi - A Lecture well worth listening to

My Fellow Duranians, Good Day!

I would kindly ask ALL members who are interested to first watch the attached 3 hour discussion in it´s entirety and contemplate what your question would be IF it were not answered in the discussion.

Last night on the Medical Doctors for CoVid Ethics International (MD4CEI), Professor Doctor Sucharit Bhakdi was invited to speak to a group of medical experts, journalists and various pundits.

I had the privilege to first be in a live lecture with the good professor as well as being able to ask the first open round question.

My second question was not of medical nature but more for our community here, where I asked Prof. Bhakdi if he would be open to speaking to us here should there be any further questions that were not asked last night or any follow up questions. and he was only to willing to join us should this be the case.

I am leaving this post up for 3 days, so the whole community has the opportunity to read this and then listen to the whole lecture....

President Trump is apparently going to declare war on Venezuela tonight. Under the US Constitution, Congress is supposed to declare war, not the President, but neither he nor any of our worthless, sold-out, cowardly so-called representatives (except Rand Paul and Thomas Massie) are going to do anything to uphold our Constitution.

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.
