Excellent update which isn’t allowed on US and EU MSM propaganda. Thank you sir. I posted on my social media account

Your preaching to the choir and most of them have fallen asleep watching this slow motion train wreck.

One point if I may unlike the warmongering United States Russia’s President Vladimir Putin has strong Christlike convictions. Contrary to the Nazis vermin who currently nest in Washington and surrounding areas Putin does not have a strike first nuclear policy. It should be clear to all who still possess the capacity to think even in the most rudimentary way that the United States does i.e. “Around 8:15 AM on August 6 1945, an atomic bomb was dropped on Hiroshima , the explosion instantly killed over 80,000 people. Three days later, another bomb was dropped on the city of Nagasaki resulting in an additional 40,000 deaths. To this day, those two world war 2 atomic bomb attacks remain the only nuclear bomb attacks in history.

Enough said don’t you think considering this is just one atrocity carried out in a long list of abuses against humanity in our short history as a child nation of 250 years.

The United States has exceeded enough reward points for this now looming collapse.

Oh I should remind in closing of this very faithful saying: “the collapse of an empire is always seen preceded by a spiritual collapse”

“The collapse of an empire is always seen preceded by a spiritual collapse” How true!

That windowless building that has been presented as the dorm that the Russian struck has been reported here in Russia by some Russian bloggers as the former administrative building of the region, long ago made derelict in the fighting.

It does not look like a dormitory, not at least, the dormitories I am familiar with. Usually dormitories (and it seems there was a complex of dormitories) are clustered in one chunk of land. Hard to say, of course, from the photographs. But the UAF has a history of covering up losses with "photographic evidence". I tend to go with the Russian account 60:40,

Thank you for Larry’s article. It is really an excellent site! And thank you for your summary of the situation - for me, this stands out: “The Russians rarely lie. They know that the best propaganda is the truth.” I dream that it was also the case for Anglo-Saxons....but hey, I can have a dream..... THANK YOU!

Larry and I are on opposite sides of the American political spectrum, which is OK since I am not an American--but I prefer a clear-headed rational conservative to a pseudo-liberal DNP zombie any day.

What I found interesting is that these days the boundaries of “political spectrum” have become very blurred, which makes it really hard to find out who does rely on “facts”.

Thank you Occupy. To be frank, I was not familiar with the term "cow bell" until now. It turns out it originated in an SNL skit involving one of my favorite groups, Blue Oyster Cult, with the producer telling them they needed "more cowbell"

Thank You Julian...

I happen to play a game, an "MMORPG"-game called "Lord of the Rings Online". As part of the "RP" (Role Playing) we can make music and even play together, each person with his/her own instrument in a group or orchestra to play together multi-instrument songs.

Among flutes, fiddles, horns, lutes and more, we have a Cow Bell and a "Moor Cowbell", which you play like in the Blue Oyster Cult video...

That's why i knew about that...

Here an example of a song we played for a small audience for "Halloween 2022".

LOVED it! "High" culture at its ...umm...highest!

It is an example of how humans from different nations & cultures and different ages can make fun without being divided by some narratives.

And that gives hope.

But to be honest, I like my role as musician who is only doing the technical work of making music which sounds good enough & is appreciated and i am flabbergasted by all the weird ways Neurotypical people communicate in a party for cosiness...

They cannot do it the "normal way", so they find other ways for those needs.

We also play classical music...

Hector Berlioz' Symphony Fantastique 2nd movement "a ball".

My book Ageing Young: You're Never Too Old To Rock 'N Roll is partly about music, but mostly about human nature. "Normal" is never "natural" IMO in "cvilizations". Music is a natural thing. We are one of the very few, if not the only animal born with a "beat reflex" which allow a synchronistic response of the newborn to the mother's heartbeat -- primary pattern recognition-- which is accompanied by pitch reflex. Put simply, we are born with the ability to harmonize and to create harmony musically. So, what your group is doing is creating harmonies, riffing off each other, point-counterpoint, melodic interchange, something fundamentally human. I looked at the video and listened. Quite wonderful. Also FUN. Play! I have to revise my book. I have a second book which goes into this stuff more deeply from the biological (and zoological) point of view. It's called Pan Ludens. The Ape that Plays. Thank for your this link. Inspiring, really.

Thank You, Julian...

I did some research on Autism & Communication and found that it is probable that feeling for music (i would call it the Grammar of Music) is older than and the foundation of Human Language, which developed since ~300.000 years in Africa, to make "working together" and living in "harmony" possible.

Many animals (birds, whales) use "music" to communicate feeling" and even more "sounds" to communicate.

This new "Language" worked to support larger and larger groups up until ~50.000 years ago modern man (Cro-Magnon) started colonising the world using Religion which is a bundle of narratives to be used in group-thinking, to align everyone into 1 direction.

Other research indicated that this part of Genetic controlled development of the "Homo Sapiens" brain is located around the time of birth and some months after that.

Now it has been found that those babies that became "Autistic", or "in the spectrum", have a larger Brain, caused by the white matter, which are the connections (Dendrites & Neurons) between the "older brain" (Implicit) and the newer Neocortex (explicit), containing Grammar, Language, Social cue's, Ego, Will, Logic, etc.

This is caused by the "GABA neurotransmitter delay" of the switch from "Excitatory" to "Inhibitive", by Autistics which slowed the "pruning" of excess connections. This caused in those brains more connections between brain-parts and "other" connections than genetically planned. Possibly causing a disruption of the plan from the last 300.000 years.

This in my opinion is the cause of the difference between Neurotypicals and Neurodiverse people. Even to the point that i would call Homo Sapiens Diversum a new subspecies...

(Non-Autistic) Scientific research from Linguistics found, that the "feeling for grammar" is programmed in this time after birth in the white matter and can NOT be improved by training later in life (like Autism cannot be solved by training).

I hope you like this. It took me 6 years to come to these provisional conclusions.
