Action “Hour of Memory” happened nine days after the crash of the Russian airliner in Egypt. St Isaac Cathedral tolled one of its bells exactly 224 times… one time for every victim of the tragedy (there were 217 passengers and 7 crew onboard). All priests in the MP Diocese of St Petersburg will offer prayers for the dead for the dead and serve Pannikhida during the coming week for those lost in the aircrash. Meanwhile, people in St Petersburg created a website dedicated to the tragedy, with a list of passengers, their pictures, and stories about the deceased. TV Rossiya-24 reported an e-petition to erect a memorial at Pulkovo Airport in memory of the victims already has more than 230,000 signatures.

I’ve read much too much rot on the recent airliner crash in Egypt, especially, from Western sources. The Russian government, quite rightly, reminds everyone that no conclusions can be reached until the investigation uncovers the facts. NONE. All Western reports of a bomb are provocations, full stop. If there’s been no forensic tests, how can we KNOW that it was a bomb? However, don’t argue with stupid Anglo fools regurgitating CIA lies. It won’t do you a bit of good and all that it’d do is to nail the lie more securely in the Anglo’s head (yes, most of them are that obtuse). This is true of “conservatives”, in particular. “Conservatives” (actually, arch-liberals, and Russians call them such… that is, Russian attacks on “liberals” are attacks on American-style Me First “conservatism”) only have a tenuous grounding in reality (look at Rod Dreher… preaching the virtues of stability whilst having been a virtual Bedouin (four moves in almost as many years… I pity his poor family)). They mouth all the right platitudes… EXCEPTIONAL AMERICA! AMERICA THE HYPERPOWER! IF YOU CODDLE THE RICH, EVERYONE WILL BENEFIT! AMERICA THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD!
No one knows what happened yet. All those saying otherwise are either stupid or complicit. Most people are the former, however, there are many “within the Beltway”, who are the latter. The CIA does lack scruples, doesn’t it? Connect the dots… but do wait for the official word, and that’ll take several months to piece it all together.
