pcr has a low opinion on the putin and my take is scattered. sometimes he's good and others i wonder who he works for as there are rumors he's part of an organization called chabad which also hosts the orange man and bibi; 

 

Dear Readers, my hopes for a week of non-work have come a cropper from foreign readers who say that my obligation to them is not cancelled by America’s celebration of what it formerly was.  There is to be no holiday for me.

Putin Is Destroying Russia

Paul Craig Roberts

Yulia Shapovalova, Moscow correspondent for Al Jazeera, reports that Pusillinamous  Putin’s ever-widening war has, as I said it would, expanded deep into Russia far from the Donbas battlefield.   Shapovalova reports “The crisis is deep,” as civilian fuel shortages worsen.  Ukraine’s successful strikes on Russian refineries and fuel storage have imperiled supply and resulted in gasoline rationing throughout the country and long lines as Russians wait hours for their rationed supply. What Putin has achieved is a reduction in Russians’ confidence in their government.  https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/7/2/the-crisis-is-deep-the-view-from-russia-as-fuel-shortages-worsen 

Russia has had to halt export sales of gasoline and jet fuel, and lower the fuel grade standards for gasoline. In Crimea, a state of emergency has been declared.  Concerns are being expressed that to insure adequate fuel supply for agricultural harvesting could result in industry shutdowns.  Russia has had to purchase 80,000 tons of gasoline from India and hopes to be able to import 400,000 tonnes of gasoline each month from wherever Russia can get it.  This clearly will not help the Russian balance of payments, which the pro-American Russian bank director will use for more punishment for Russians.

Confronted with a genuine crisis, what is Putin’s response?........more.........

 here be a primer on how screwed the brits are when it comes to 'justice';

 

 A convicted predator who helped destroy the lives of vulnerable girls as young as 13 is days away from freedom in Britain, while Pakistan refuses to take him and archaic rules shield him from removal.

Shabir Ahmed’s case lays bare how legal technicalities, political cowardice, and a refusal to enforce borders have turned the country into a revolving door for the most dangerous offenders.

Ahmed, now 73, arrived in the UK long before 1973 as a Commonwealth citizen. He was convicted in 2012 at Liverpool Crown Court on multiple counts of rape, aiding and abetting rape, sexual assault, and trafficking for sexual exploitation. He treated at least one victim as property, abusing her on an almost weekly basis. Part of a gang of nine men operating out of takeaways in the Heywood area of Rochdale, Ahmed and his associates targeted working-class girls from broken background..........more.........

 this is how european countries, at least the larger ones, conduct 'democracy'. do you think they need a bit of a help understanding how to do so;

 

 Yesterday, National Rally leader Jordan Bardella wrote of police raids targeting communications providers that worked with his party, as well as an upcoming judicial investigation targeting him for a job he did 12 years ago. All of these actions are being taken in the lead up to French national elections next year, where Bardella is shown to be leading in polls to become the next president of the country.

“Since early this morning, searches have been underway at the offices and personal residences of communication providers who have worked with us,” wrote Bardella on X.

“At the same time, Le Canard enchaîné also informs us of the upcoming opening of a judicial investigation concerning me, following a complaint from a militant association, regarding a job I held for a few months at the European Parliament… nearly twelve years ago,” he continued.

Le Pen’s revenge? Bardella projected to win 2027 French election runoff in all scenarios


He then noted that these actions are being taken before elections, writing: “As always, judicial proceedings herald the electoral calendar. We have nothing to reproach ourselves for, and we will demonstrate it.”........more.........

 for the brits their new pm is taking them from the pan to the fire;

 

 In 2019, Greater Manchester Police began Operation Hexagon.  As the Mayor of Manchester with Police and Crime Commissioner functions, the Operation came under the oversight of Andy Burnham.

They led the public to believe Operation Hexagon was designed to investigate allegations of rape gang crimes in Oldham.  However, the wording was deliberately vague. 

The actual purpose of Operation Hexagon was to investigate people exposing the Muslim rape gangs and those attempting to cover-up these crimes. 

In other words, Operation Hexagon was designed not to target criminals but to silence whistle-blowers and others who spoke about the rape gangs and their crimes.

Operation Hexagon was a joint investigation between Greater Manchester Police (“GMP”) and Oldham Metropolitan Borough Council.  It ran from September 2019 to February 2022.  The operation fell under the oversight of Andy Burnham, then Mayor of Greater Manchester and Police and Crime Commissioner.

A Freedom of Information Act request to GMP asked what the purpose and objectives of Operation Hexagon were.  In response, GMP said in March 2026, “This information is already available in the public domain via a google search. operation hexagon – Google Search.”...........more..........
