King Donald gets a few things wrong

A few corrections to the Official Narrative

Below are excerpts form my very long article on Putin. This is still a draft and it has been rewritten and re-researched many times.

Donald, the King of America and the American Empire has said numerous times that Russia is on the verge of collapse and desperately needs American help in Ukraine,

Researching Vladimir Putin has not been easy since he is demonized in the West and his actions and records distorted. His accomplishments speak for themselves.

Putin: Russian Betterment 1999 ~2025

The GDP figure here is the World Economics estimate (PPP) which is higher than the World Bank estimate, which is less accurate but still impressive, boost,

Yet the Western Media will tell you that the Russian economy is in tatters. If that’s “tatters” – I want some.

How did Putin do this?

He didn’t do this alone. Putin looked for competent people. Those he could trust, joined his team. Those he wasn’t too sure about – “oligarchs” and other industrialists and the like – he managed under close watch. Putin is known for an amazing memory and command of facts and details, focus and meticulous care in planning and executing strategy and his accurate assessment of individuals .

He is an autodidact and polymath—a holistic thinker accomplished in various fields with a wide field of vision that allows him to anticipate and avoid “unintended consequences”. He doesn’t like to make mistakes. But he knows he will make them, and therefore always has a backup plan, as we saw in the case of the failed Istanbul agreement with Ukraine.

As a result, his reforms and improvements have been comprehensive covering a wide range of issues. The only American equivalent to his leadership would have been FDR:

· Restraining “oligarchs,” limitations on their influence

· Resolution of the Chechen problem \ elimination of terrorism

· Economic development of the country

· Improvement of citizens’ quality of living, increased wages and pensions

· Creation of economic and political conditions conducive to the growth of the private sector : new jobs, better wages

· Improvement of the rule of law

· Improvement of public morality and values, including the family and religion

· Protection of democracy and citizens’ political freedoms

· Promotion of national and international values

· Access to health, education and welfare

· Creation of new infrastructure at levels in all regions

· Reduction of corruption, bribery, crime

· Increased optimism, hope for improvement in the near future

· Control over regional and bureaucratic malfeasance

· Increased military capability and reform of the armed forces

· Improvement of interethnic relations in Russia

· Strengthening of Russia’s international position.

· Improvement of interethnic relations in Russia

· Cooperation with other CIS (Commonwealth of Independent States / Central Asian) nations

· Meritocracy.

· New technology, reindustrialization and business autonomy without relying on the West

· Improvement of Russia’s relations with Asian countries and the Global South

· Regional Development, particularly in the East and the Arctic

· Resistance to Western aggression in Ukraine

· Resistance to Western economic aggression

· Incorporation of new Russian Territories (ex-Ukraine)

.Development of BRICS and new markets and trading systems

That’s a partial list!

Yet, the West persists in its characterization of Putin as a “murderous dictator” who has driven Russia to the verge of collapse (as Justin Trudeau, Governor of the 51st State of King Donald’s American kingdom recently said) .

As for King Donald, here is his draft“deal’ for the Ukraine, which will become a new American dominion . Zelensky, it appears has just agreed to it,

• Ukraine shall allocate 50% of all revenue from resource extraction licenses to the US, effectively granting Washington a financial stake in Ukraine's economy.

• A Reconstruction Investment Fund will have exclusive authority over issuing and managing resource extraction licenses.

• The US will have the "right of first refusal" on the purchase of any exported minerals, meaning Ukraine cannot sell them to other countries without offering them to the US first.

• Ukraine must waive its sovereign immunity, allowing the US to legally seize Ukrainian assets if Ukraine fails to meet its financial obligations.

• The agreement classifies Ukraine’s resource transactions as commercial, making them subject to US and international arbitration.

• The US will have full auditing rights over Ukraine’s financial records related to the Reconstruction Fund.

• Ukraine must submit monthly financial reports to the US and appoint an independent auditor, whose services must be paid for by Ukraine.

• The agreement does not specify an expiration date, meaning US financial interests in Ukraine’s resources could remain indefinitely.

Will Russia agree to a new de facto American state on its borders? Somehow I doubt it .

One must keep in mind that Western Ukraine does not have much in the way of exploitable mineral resources. Perhaps Trump is misinformed. Perhaps this is just PR for congress and the American public to provide a face-saving way to get out the Ukraine mess. Or perhaps Ukraine will become a kind of Trojan horse, without NATO membership or even much in the way of weapons—somehow capable of being used against Russia if need be.

On autism

Julian Assange: 'I am – like all hackers – a little bit autistic'

Why have I come forward with my autism?

There is a risk of being misunderstood because the concept is flawed, misrepresented by academics, educators, the pharma industry and psychologists. “Disorder” is a kind of stigmata,

As I recently advised one of my four nieces, all of whom are “on the spectrum” -”ASD is not a disorder despite being called that — it is just a different neurological configuration, with pluses and minuses, It affects a lot of people, Most “high functioning autists” hide it — pretending to be “normal” — not that anybody knows what that is—as Adler said, somebody you don’t know too well.

Even Elon Musk does not call himself “autistic”, Rather, he calls himself an “Aspie”, a category which you will not find in DSM V. Richard Bransom doesn’t admit to ASD either - just dyslexia and ADHD.

Most autistic people simply “mask”. In fact, everybody, including nominal “normal people” “mask ” just people like me are more aware of it than others, and can more easily take off the mask or change it.

I was always been aware of my cognitive differences, at least from the 1st grade on. In those days, I was just “different”. The psychiatric industry had come up with a cage for my kind of bird, so I flew free.

But I quickly learned to “mask” to fit in. That went on for a long time. I tried.

Living in Asia was a relief because no one expected me, a foreigner, to be “normal”. It was those blue eyes, I guess. I was automatically “out of the box” - and even valued for that difference, as long as I followed commonsense rules,

With other foreigners, however, I still had to “mask”. And mask carefully,

Foreigners in Asia often tend to close ranks. They get to do a lot of things they don’t do at home but with others they insist they are just like other Americans or Brits or Canucks or others. They form groups and clubs and have parties but they are really fish out of water.

So they"“mask”

People like me who learned to mask in childhood also learn to see through the masks others wear . That makes us dangerous.

Perversely, the closer we get to people, the more affective empathy takes over and less we care about the masks, and the less judgmental we become, which means that sometimes friends can be more dangerous than enemies. I guess that is a truism.

Also perversely, the more we lie about who we are to “fit in”; the sensitive we become to truth and lies., the more we need to know what is true and what is not,

I have come forward with my peculiarities - because “why not?” . And maybe it will help those who feel ‘different”.

If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.

Henry David Thoreau

Everyone likes music.Don’t you?

And rock & roll is definitely autistic!
