9 April 2016. A Tale of Two Corpses on Life Support… When Shall They Breathe Their Last?

______________________________

Things are quiet now … the Ukraine is simply decaying and rotting from within. The army is unfit for anything … the power plants are shutting down … the shops are empty … everyone blames the Uniates and Anglos. The Americans fucked up in a major way… we should lay back on this one and let it develop. It’s like the OCA story… the Syosset apparat is flying apart before our eyes. Yes… something’s happening… shall we have victory this Easter? Shall Syosset and SVS jump for the Phanar (the parishes are another story altogether… a fact that the apparatchiks forgot)? One can only speculate.. but it hasn’t resulted in a real breakdown yet. We have to let these stories develop. It’s why I’m not writing about it or the OCA meltdown… they’re works-in-progress, and highly volatile. That is, both the OCA and the “Ukraine” are heading for the dustbin, but the details are unknown; they’re still hanging on, although the subject is clinically brain-dead in both cases.

Let’s not embarrass ourselves like “Hank Leaf” did on the Orthodox Forum. He wrote that Paffso was pro-Centre! He did! Paffso is a drooling neocon extremist allied with the Blunder, Potapov, and Shevkunov, not the actual power apparat at the Centre. If you remember, when Fatso went to the MDA, the rector refused to meet with him, but did meet with Mollard when Mollard came. The coverage of Paffso on patriarchia.ru was always restrained, unlike Shevkunov’s pravoslavie.ru, but the latter isn’t official, never forget that (it purveys the idiosyncratic views of Shevkunov and his allies in the Vorobyov Mafia). We don’t know yet what’s happening in the OCA, save that the Syosset apparat is trying to pull a fast one, but the power lies in the parishes, not the apparat (as Mollard’s election proved to all comers… Dahulich was the fave of the apparat and SVS). It’s much too confused and in flux for anyone to issue a coherent opinion. “Hank Leaf’s” piece was an utterly preposterous piece of folly that the author should never have posted.

The same is true of any posting on the Ukraine. Everything that I get is contradictory and confusing, save that all sources agree that the junta is floundering and can’t deliver basic goods and services to the people. Simply reflect on the fact that the Americans arrogantly installed foreigners into the junta apparat. It had the usual response… the people don’t have faith in a “government” that sets foreigners to rule over them. “The Ukraine isn’t dead yet”… but it soon shall be, but no one knows the time nor the circumstances of its fall. I only pray that it comes quickly, to spare all the innocents in the notional “Ukraine”.

Let these two stories “ripen”… I fear that the dénouement won’t be long in arriving…

Update 10 April 2016:

I got this from a Cabinet member:

One small item. Hank didn’t write the piece. He posted it on the Forum, but George Michalopulos wrote it; it originally appeared on Michalopulos’ Monomakhos blog.

There… that sets the record straight… however, it still remains a drivelling piece of rubbish, and the fact that Michalopulos wrote it only reinforces its marginal status.

KPRF Tula Oblast Obkom Sends Aid to Heroic Novorossiya

______________________________

The 53rd humanitarian aid convoy left from the Lenin State Farm outside Moscow enroute to besieged Novorossiya. Each of the trucks carried essential supplies for the DNR and LNR… food, medicines, children’s necessities, and seeds. As Krasnaya Tula noted, the KPRF Tula Oblast Obkom took part in all humanitarian aid convoys. This time, the farm sent food and kids’ clothing to help our kinsmen in the Donbass. Aleksei Lebedev, General Secretary of the KPRF Tula Oblast Obkom, noted at a gathering to see the trucks off:

Tula Communists are grateful for this opportunity to send humanitarian aid to our compatriots in the Donbass. With this convoy, we give our greetings to the civilians in heroic Novorossiya, and to the fighters protecting their families and their land.

Former LNR head V D Bolotov said that the struggle against the Banderist aggressors to restore peace and freedom continued:

I want to express my immense gratitude to the KPRF for their support of the continuing Donbass humanitarian convoys, as we sorely need this assistance. We won’t abandon the fight; with this kind of support, we’ll win!

9 April 2016. Bernie STOMPS Chilly Hilly in Wyoming… He’s Won Eight of the Last Nine… Who’s the FRONTRUNNER Now, Glib Libs?

_______________________________

Bernie’s now won eight of the last nine contests… and the media tells us that Chilly Hilly is the frontrunner. I’ll check into Bedlam with Mr Scrooge. Make sure that there’s room in Cloud Cuckoo Land for the HillyBillys… they still won’t accept reality. It’s Corbyn Redux with a vengeance, kids…
