Despite hot weather, thousands of patriots in Odessa marched through its central streets on May Day, carrying placards reading “Odessa is a Hero City”, “Referendum”, and “Fascism Won’t Pass”. War veterans clad in parade uniform and carrying flowers led the column. Car owners greeted the veterans with honks, and many people joined the march on the way. The procession stopped in the city’s Kulikovo Field where People’s Alternative activists set up a tent city to collect signatures in support of a referendum on federalisation, the official status of the Russian language, and the foreign policy vector of the country. Speakers assured supporters, “Protesters won’t leave the Kulikovo Field until the authorities meet our demands for a referendum and release our comrades arrested by the SBU”. Oleg Muzyka, a Rodina Party leader, said, “We want to build a bright future and take all the best we had in the past. The people who come to our rallies have an ideology unlike those who liken ideas to the contents of their refrigerators”. The rally went off peacefully, without provocations from junta supporters. The junta puppets in the Odessa city administration put local police on high alert ahead of the event, with 1,400 cops on duty during the May Day holidays.
Editor:
Of course, you’re aware of the brouhaha in the American media over events in the Ukraine. Did you notice the slanted reports on the patriot rallies such as the one above? Are these reports reliable? I’d argue that they’re not, and that most media operatives are shameless painted whores for the worst sorts of neoliberalism and American Exceptionalism. If they aren’t, well, they don’t last long… since the Republican victory in the congressional elections of 1946, the rightwing consistently tried to demonise the left and roll back the achievements of the socialist New Deal. Until the fall of the USSR due to internal causes (the USA and the Cold War had nothing at all to do with it), the American right had to be careful… ergo, they didn’t dare touch the main elements of the New Deal. However, the American right misinterpreted the fall of the USSR as a victory for American “conservatism”, which had nothing to do with it at all.
Today, most of the New Deal is dead… but the Republican Party isn’t content. It wants to destroy socialism utterly, in not only the USA, but also wherever it exists in the world. Lies mean nothing to Republicans. Hell, lies mean nothing to Anglo-Americans. Lies are acceptable, as long as you win. “Winning isn’t everything, it’s the only thing”… I might mention that Vince Lombardi, who popularised that saying, was a gutless coward who refused to serve in the forces during World War II (typical for a Republican… loud belligerence coupled with personal cravenness).
One must view the media campaign against Russia in that light. The American Right does understand one thing aright… V V Putin is trying to revive the best features of the USSR. For instance, there was a massive labour march on Red Square today. It took an hour for the over 100,000 marchers to pass. Note well that the American media doesn’t tell you how the people want the USSR back… it doesn’t tell you how much the people respect the remaining VOV vets, who fought for the ideals of the USSR. Yes, there were excesses in the USSR… but if one excuses the excesses of Anglo-America (and the media certainly does that), then, one must be fair and excuse the excesses of the USSR. If one excuses Wounded Knee and the Robber Baron violence against the American trades-union movement, then, one must excuse the GULag… it’s quite that simple (Solzhenitsyn was in prison for his ideas… so was Eugene V Debs). No nation is free of guilt… NONE. In fact, if you were to compare the Anglo-American drive across the American continent to the Russian drive across Eurasia, one has to admit that Russia was far fairer to native peoples than Anglo Americans were (how many of its false treaties did the Anglos honour in the end?). In fact, in 1867, the Russians told the Alaska Natives, “Watch out! These Americans are real pigs!”
You may believe the truth as presented in the Russian media or you may believe the lies of Anglo-Americans. Mind you, most Anglo-Americans are innocent… they’re simply another people like any other (they’re not “exceptional” at all… they’d admit that to you)… but a sick and juvenile superiority complex covered over with a smiling, smarmy, and “nice” exterior permeates the grasping American Establishment and its me-too media prostitutes (shame on you, Sophia Kishkovsky, Serge Schmemann, and Victor Potapov). I prefer “rude”, grim, and unsmiling Russians… at least, they don’t tell you egregious lies and expect you to thank them for it.

21 December 2014. You Can’t Make Up Shit Like This… Godless Rightwing Evangelical Filth DEFEND Torture

Read this. Here’s something particularly of note:
If you needed proof that the Republican Evangelicals are godless anti-Christian filth… this is it. They support American warmongering throughout the world… they support torture. They support methods that we hung Nazis and Japs for after World War II. I’ve got to find a corner to get sick in… I knew that “Evangelicals” were ignorant brutal barbarians… but this is too much of a muchness.
Orthodox people should reflect that rightwing pigs such as Jonas Paffhausen and Matthias Moriak wanted to ally us with such theomachistic oddbod elements. THIS is what a signature on the so-called “Manhattan Declaration” meant… a support of American violence throughout the world. It wasn’t “Pro-Life” at all. Mistrust the konvertsy… they still want us united with such trash. I’m no moral paragon (I KNOW what sin is on my plate), but I’m no enabler of torture.
Truly, you can’t make up shit like this…
