Great garden pic, Dr. John! I love that, like me, you’re always so cheerful in these photos. Regarding all the other items in your article: God bless Russia. The Biden’s are filthy...I mean SO very filthy that it’s confounding. And, of COURSE our government established new disinformation offices. Makes me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
Jens Stoltenberg asserts that NATO welcomes Ukraine to the club and Von der Leyen asserts on her part that the EU welcomes Ukraine too. Since no EU countries were consulted on either issue (kudos to Orban for speaking out) this is omission-speak for Neocons-Want - so many of whom seem to have come from there. Maybe after the war the neocons should be placed in rump Ukraine where they can duke it out with their fellow nazis , surrounded by a very , very high wall guarded by Chechens :-) NOT ideal for Europe but a solution.
The proviso of "after they defeat Russia", as a timeline for "Ukraine" joning NATO fixes everything, but reminds me of the phrase from Wayne's World, "yeah, and monkeys might fly out of my butt".
So much to ponder (and barf back up). Re the new 'perception management' office - doesn't get any more Orwellian than that! I sure hope enough people are waking up to ensure the continuation of the human race.
Thought you might like to view this functional medicine approach to psychiatry on this important topic Dr John esp in light of the devastating increase in suicide rates from lockdowns and other globalist-causes tragedies: free through May online: https://www.psychiatryredefined.org/suicide-rates-and-the-failure-of-mainstream-mental-health-care/. I’m taking his paid courses and am grateful for his sanity.
I read that text. There are so many contributors. "Industrial food-like products, aka "junk food", especially sodas are highly suspect, as are lack of omega-3 fats, lack of sunshine, lack of exercise, lack of physical-community, low vitamiin-D, sleep deprivation (pro inflammatory, pro-obesity). Addictive drugs. I'm sure I left things out. A healthy microbiome from digging in a garden and eating real, fresh food is a potent anti-depressant factor.
In his epic treatise, The Gulag Archipelago by Alexander Solzhenitsyn documents what happened after (and before) this so called "Victory Day In Russia" (balls!). What happened in the hundreds of Gulags. What Russians did in reality instead of this vain glorious "victory day". What happened to hundreds of thousands of Polish, Czech, Hungarians, Germans, Romanians and yes Ukrainians too who were sentenced to life imprisonment and slavery to far corners of Russia. Lets not forget millions of Russians (1920 till 1975) made of dissidents, writers, academics, artists, dramatists, poets, even scientists, farmers, religious people and ethnic minorities. Why the Gulag Archipelago extended allover Russia, well before any Victory Day or Nazi Vanquish Glory, which set the "order" - all thanks to Lenin, Stalin, Kolchak, Malenkof, Nikita Kruschev etc etc. So, Communism or Czars or Thug Putin, that "Victory" of violence is the Russian timeline of horror!
Victor Day Eh ?! Wow, more like continuation of mass incarceration, slavery and penury of millions of people, that too of so many nationalities. Pardon but, F**K Russia just like America. Both genocidal empires in construct, in hindsight. Russia is no different from America, if only we know how similar the history reads like - formation, rise and now incoming fall (the empire pattern)
Victory Day largely respect the cotributions and losses of the Russian people.
Yes, sociopathic rulers were in many places through most of history.
Be careful of judgements within historical context, made from a position of safe remove.
How would we have acted in such severe situations?
Yes, Stalin and the Bolsheviks before him were ruthless and destructive historic figures, and initially manipulated as a weapon by eite bankers to take down Russia.
I think Russia and the US are different, but humans are a lot alike wherever you may roam.
USSR and western empires were different in their maturity. The USSR drained Russia to feed the periphery. Western and typical empired drain the periphery to feed the center. Cuba was hit hard when the USSR collapsed, very hard.
Hi John. True that "USSR and western empires were different in their maturity..." However how do such 'bygone' differences (when we see the last 5000 years of empires) matter? Here is an example to elucidate further - "For thousands of years, civilization did not lend itself to peaceful equalization. Across a wide range of societies and different levels of development, stability favored economic inequality. This was as true of Pharaonic Egypt as it was of Victorian England, as true of the Roman Empire as of the United States, Japan, Russia etc. Violent shocks were of paramount importance in disrupting the established order..." The Great Leveler by Walter Scheidel.
Point being, empires are bound to collapse, structurally speaking, as it has happened in reality many many times before. As their foundations are always based on the above violence, order and hierarchy. America or Russia are no exception to that rule. America too will fall, and many small 'cuba-like-nations' will also be hit very hard, are being hit hard. The lumpen proletariat of Russia has no business celebrating Victory Day just as the Americans have no business celebrating Land Grab Day (4th of July). Thanks for reading!
If Putin/Lavrov remain healthy enough, and Trump or Kennedy gets elected, we might be able to wind ths all down and start on something more constructive and less hierarchical.
Don't hold breath. Grow vegetables. Ride bike. Consider how to eat and drink for a month with no power...

Oh well. C’est la vie, mon ami !
Thank You, Samantha. "Illegitimi non-carborundum", as my Dad used to say.

Indeed! NEVER let them grind you down...these bastards!
