I wish our cat could play a musical instrument like that!

I weep along with you for those who are lost to the lies and the greed in this world. Nice poem.

Thank you. It wasn't meant as a poem. I was just writing my feelings. As a poem, I would've recorded it. Maybe I should?

Maybe I am just being cynical but the timing of his death just as Avdeevka falls in spectacular defeat seems very fortuitous for the MSM. The media seems pretty quiet about the war lately.

Yes, the timing raises questions. The mainstream media responded within 10 minutes of the Russians announcing his death-- without supplying any details in that announcement. Some are saying that they were ready for it -- somehow forewarned. I personally doubt this-- having worked for these people.

How about the USamericans and people from other western countries who are on Zelensky's Kill List? Due to his telling too much truth, retired US Colonel Douglas Macgregor has been added to the list, but what does Washington do about "one of their own" being fingered by Zelensky? Send $61 billion dollars to Ukraine to be laundered by Zelensky?

How come I'm not on the list? Am I not pretty enough? Is it my shaving lotion? Oh, I don't shave. Nobody loves me.

"No man deserves to die. But some do not deserve to live." - really? We ALL do deserve to die! That is our just reward - we earned it.

Nope - I'm not a religious nut - just a Christian realist. I just answered a self-righteous churchian who sets his ass in DaPew every Sunday and considers God to be his divine butler. Repentance? Whadat?

The main reason we've lost our Western Civilization is that DaChurch lost its way and became another Synagogue of Satan, thus the salt lost its flavor and has been ground under foot.

However, prepare for reset - not the one from Davos - the remnant is rising....NOW!

I would rather not have my just reward right now. I haven't earned it

Only those who employed him.

Agreed. Like the "Main Stream" Fascist Media, best just to ignore.

There is a limit to how low a limbo pole can be set.

Our problem is the Western political class can always go lower.

No reasonable bounds exist in their minds to encourage restraint.

Well said Julian. Navalny's time was up, he's being debriefed and no doubt will be back to learn more lessons at some other point. Check out what Scott Ritter said (in discussion with Ania), he gave him a fitting eulogy too.

All I had to do was peruse the few usual subjects (CNN, NYT, WaPo, etc.) and counted more than 30 articles just on Navalny. Of course, all based on Putin the devil/Navalny the Russian savior. If he was murdered, I guess we don't have such inmate killings in US prisons, and if we do than Biden should be blamed.

Contrasting this to the news blackout on both Lira's imprisonment and death in Ukraine is so totally sickening. And Biden's faux humanitarian concerns are impossible to stomach.

Unfortunately, this is the Western world in which we live. Corrupt beyond comprehension, lashing out, dying. Hard to be a part of it at times, suffocated in ignorance, obey, consume, procreate, have fun, get the shot, the great sleeping masses, often friends, family. But we are all here, have purpose, voices of reason. Hang in there.

I don't think there's so much purpose in the craziness. That's why it's crazy – the lack of purpose. But I think it generates purpose. As you say, we are all here. And some of us try.

We're living in an inverted world. War is peace, ignorance is strength, Navalny is a hero.

And the leader of the free world can't remember his own name

Hey, not my leader and there is no free world ;-) Give Arthur a break, he's been given difficult material to work with, and is doing a good job under the circumstances. On a positive note, it's allowing a lot of folks to see that it is all just a show. There is some purpose in all this craziness.

Think also of those in Guantánamo Bay.

Think of the number of people that the US executes every year. And then the percentages of those executed and later found to be innocent. Russia has no death penalty.
