⚡️So Minsk is one of these characters which I’ve been watching very closely.
Disinfolklore analytical method enables us to feel free… Prompts us to look for these archetypal characters in these data, which aren’t typical characters.
They’re not always Kellogg.
It’s not always Kellogg.
Sometimes it’s Ukraine, sometimes it’s the country. Abstract forms…

⚡️Russia’s Core Competency? Industrialisation of suicide-bomber creation.
Sculpting Suicide Bombers out of ordinary humans used to be an artisan trade. Russia learned it from Assad’s father, who perfected the art.
Every day since March 2023 1000+ Russian soldiers, knowing they will be killed, have executed assaults in Ukraine which are doomed to fail.
How does Russia get ordinary humans to participate?
We have seen thousands of videos of such assaults, ghosts crossing no-man’s land turned to dust by Ukrainian drones.
We’ve read hundreds of first-hand accounts like this one:
“A Russian soldier fighting in Chasiv Yar says that new recruits sent to the front die almost immediately, with his own unit taking over 90% casualties. The fields are strewn with rotting corpses. To avoid having to pay compensation to relatives, collecting IDs is banned…”
Drugs, of course help. Yet, it’s the systems inside Russia’s army which have enabled Russia to turn artisan workshop-created suicide bombers of Isis, Hamas, and Al Quada into a mass production industry.
At every point in the assembly line between recruitment and death on a hopeless meat assault in Ukraine Russia’s corruption system propels recruits forward towards their inevitable death.
You go to buy eggs for your dinner in Russia.
You wake up, still drunk, on a train to Ukraine. In a stupor you’ve signed a mobilisation contract.
Multiple Russians have already pocketed segments of your sign-on bonus.
At training you’ll die unless you bribe the Sargent.
You’ll starve unless you bribe the cook.
On the way to the front, you’ll freeze, unless you bribe someone else for a blanket. You’ll be put in the carriage with the ex-prisoner convicted of cannibalism.
The list of iterations and market opportunities for Russia’s army of parasites is endless.
Guilty of corruption? Pay your way out of jail with the corruption proceeds by spending the rest of the war in a boarding house in Berdyansk.
At the position you’re tied to a tree as a sacrifice to a Baba Yaga drone until you hand over your money card to the commander…
Eventually you end up in a video like this:
Be warned though, this system is not an accident.
It’s Russia’s core competency.
⚡️How NATO can prepare for today’s wars.
Probably the only way militaries will innovate commensurate with challenge facing them is if, as I still maintain might well yet happen, Ukraine, Poland, maybe Türkiye,Baltic, states, aided by Finland, Scandinavians and Nordics will eject Russia from 100% of Ukraine.
Way things are going (currently) US may join in.
Otherwise, our militaries appear to be wishing drone warfare will just disappear.
Military leaders mostly retired I read a lot of these days (like General Mick Ryan) understand virtually everything from am institutional, procurement, structure of units, electronic warfare,… everything needs to be transformed within NATO armies.
Naturally conservative armies don’t change unless they’re at war. Pictured here is the legendary “Magyar” head of Ukraine’s unmanned systems force (still the only army on earth that has a dedicated entity for UAVs).
The era of the gamer / soldier is nigh.
Last night Magyar’s birds took out one of Russia’s most important electricity substations and its main Black Sea port Tuapse for exporting oil. No other army in the world has that capability all the while eliminating hundreds of invading Russians across a 1,400km contact line every day with thousands of drones.
80% of Russian casualties are caused by Ukrainian drones. Yearly budget for drones this year is €5b.
⚡️Russians’ panic about their ‘ethnos’ disappearing - unfounded.
Sure, as Russia disintegrates into 5 or 6 new sovereign states over the coming months (see below) Russians worry about disappearing.
They ought to be reassured that China assimilated the Manchu so successfully that today it’s hard to find anyone in China who identifies as Manchu. Even though the Manchu/Qing dynasty ruled China from 1644-1912.
Similarly, the so-called Russian ‘ethnos’ will be subsumed into Chinese identity quite quickly.
So Russians have no need to worry about that!
Staying warming and fed this winter, now that’s something to worry about.
⚡️Big Bad Wolf says ‘Biden Stand Down.’
Fascinating to watch who falls for this idea that President Biden will stand down.
You see, Disinformation doesn’t happen to the ignorant. Infects all of us. Even those whose judgment we trust, in many many policy areas.
And that if he did, somehow the 20 oligarchs who amplify Trump’s nonsense and maintain his Mythos also would stand down.
These are moments when we can embrace our susceptibility to Disinfolklore - only anti-Trumpists are calling for President Biden to stand down.
That’s their vulnerability.
The troll - Biden should stand down - is perfectly designed to match that vulnerability.
If you see yourself falling for it - use your Incoming Troll Radar to watch which ideas you allow into you Inner Mind (the place where ideas mingle with your Mana), understand you are at risk of being manipulated.
Resist.
⚡️Trumpian “Right” Monarchist Shift.
Nothing new about the political “Right” going full-on Monarchist.
“Rch” in Monarch preserves the Ancient Indo-European identity of the Right to represent, exclusively, the Muni of our communities.
Rinsing the “Muni” out of our communities has been the rite of the political right since Reagan / Thatcher.
First they stop helping the sick, then fifty years later their illegitimate Supreme Court criminalise being homeless.
Note “- Rt” in Court - Tis everywhere deep in our language and structure of communal and municipal arrangements (just like M-N-) this is why:
The Right to claim the Moniker Right is so fought over - from time immemorial.
From linguistics we know the rod/reg/patriarchal model of Indo-European monarchy involved a symbolic rod or wand.
*Reg ends up in almost every successor Indo-European culture.
The word “right” as in “human rights” and “Reich” stems too from this aspect of ancient Ukrainian monarchy.
“The Indo-European had tribal kings, who were thought of as stretching (*reg-) a rod to govern the people, and who were responsible for the fertility of the soil and the prosperity of the whole tribe. The inauguration of the king was a fertility rite, perhaps with the notion of a goddess of fertility whom the king must wed. His power and vigour...”
So from 1980s until 5 minutes ago, the Right meant “personal responsibility” and “rule of law.”
Today to be political right means the precise opposite: elect a criminal and scapegoat “the left” for every ill.
That moniker right has not changed yet its meanings now deranged.
The left (“sinister” in Latin) too as a moniker has not changed.
Yet, the content of who is called sinister has: migrants, outsiders, those fighting to preserve democracy, and fight oligarchy’s monarchist turn.
Understand that the universe of terms including Rg / Rt / Reg / Rch / Rit / Rd
sounds has a particular force / Mana.
Those who monopolise the control of what trolls containing these right sounds means have immense power / Mana.
This is how we’ve gone from the moniker “Right” meaning “personal responsibility” and “rule of law” to Mass Scapegoating of the woke / left for the Right’s own incapacity to govern righteously.
“Right,” “Reign,” “Writ,” “Authority,” “Regime,” “Foreigner,” “Realm,” “Reich,” the “Rch” of “Monarchy,” “Security,” “territorial integrity,” “fertility/ prosperity,” “Regulation”…
Means that these sounds are
cognate with the *reign element in the English word “Sovereignty.
“Dieu et mon droit” is the French-language motto on the English monarch’s Coat of Arms - the “droit” in French signifies both “Law” and “Right.”
If you say “Roi” (“King” in French), “Right,” and the “roit” in “Droit” you might notice that despite the different spellings they all sound similar.
*Reg means “Rod” in the earliest Indo-European language that we know. Because of this, we know that monarchy was symbolised as the monarch stretching out a straight rod that signified the right of the king (Rex in Latin, Rí in old Irish, and Raja in the ancient Indian language Sanskrit are cognates meaning they come from the same Common Source) to rule.
What is the essence then of “Right”?
Sanskrit “rta” or ancient Persian captures it best.
‘Truth. What is, What is not illusory’ in Sanskrit or ‘Arta’ (‘truth’ in Ancient Iranian Avestan language)…
So when you feel the self-declared Right are promoting the lie and what is not real, you can know that Right moniker has been usurped.
It’s meaning and personalisation being monopolised by the anti-Right.
Criminal cartoonish entertainer Trump promoted by 20 oligarchs through every media outlet as a cartoonish aspirant Monarch is certainly NOT right.
Therefore, distrust any source or person who either falls for or promotes that troll.
In democracy the Right belongs to us - Identity of sovereign (the people not a monarch) and subject (the people) is what’s Right.
Oh, yeah. So Minsk is one of these characters which I’ve been watching very closely. And the distant folklore analytical method enables us to feel free. It prompts us to look for these archetypal characters in these data, which aren’t typical characters. They’re not always Kellogg. It’s not always Kellogg. Sometimes it’s Ukraine, sometimes it’s the country.
Ukraine archetypes as David Or Goliath, Russia archetyping itself, switching between David and Goliath. On the one hand, everyone’s ganging up on it. Let me into the G8. On the other hand, we’re the mighty Second Army. And so the power of this as an analytical tool comes to the fore when we recognize this, for instance,
Kellogg is going to Minsk. And I bet you Kellogg doesn’t know what I’m talking about here. He doesn’t understand why he is going to Minsk. And the reason he’s going to Minsk, I believe, using the disapropical or analytical method, is to push this perennial troll about Minsk into the information space again. And
For me, Minsk is a living character. It’s a living being. I was in eastern Ukraine on the day Minsk II was signed in mid-February 2015, and my job immediately changed. And under Minsk II, Russia and Ukraine agreed to withdraw their weapons systems a sufficient distance from the line of contact
which in the area I was in was on the middle of the Donetsk River in eastern Ukraine in Luhansk Oblast. So artillery had to move more than 30 kilometers away each side. And myself and my colleagues from the OSCE, our job was to monitor the withdrawal and then as over the coming years to ensure
that it was maintained. And so for instance, Russian occupiers on the Luhansk side, the Russian occupied side of the river, used to go home in their tanks for lunch. So, you know, we went through this whole thing about, is this a breach in Minsk?
And then we found out, oh, they’re just going home for their lunch in the tank. So, yeah, it’s less than 30 kilometers, but we’ll let this go. And then when there were breaches in Minsk, I had to certify them in a legal sense. And these then were reported and reported.
And sometimes I certified thousands of breaches of the ceasefire. So Minsk for me is a living character. It’s the difference between... knowing a famous person because you’ve seen all of their films or you’ve read the character in the book and actually, um, being that, uh, living in the same house as that famous character as, as it were.
So that’s why I particularly tune in, uh, to the, the dynamic meaning of Minsk in Russian, uh, distant folklore. And so why I tuned in immediately when I saw, uh, Kellogg was going to Minsk, um, Because my working assumption has, and no data has displaced this yet, is that Russia, its biggest,
what it really wants is Minsk 3. And I archetype Minsk 3 as actually the agreement which was then breached between Duncy Putin and the chef of disenfoke law himself, Prigozhin, which was brokered on the day of the coup. that day in which it was agreed that Progozian gets to go to Baku and disappear, and in return,
and they’ll fake the airplane crash. And so Minsk 4, so I wrote about Minsk 4, but again, what I’m trying to do in my small way is re-archetype Minsk, because what Russia really wants is the contact line to be frozen as is, fake in the tiny advances that they’ve made since February 22. And,
and I heard today that again, Donald in Canada was pushing for Crimea to be recognized as a Russian. So, so they’re still, they’re there. This is what, again, why I call Duncy Putin, like the village idiot, the village dunce. They’re really focused on, they’ve got these, they fix on this and they want the Minsk to you even,
saw the head of the OSCE in Moscow a few months ago. I wrote about it at the time. And again, then Russia denied there would be OSCE monitors, which I was in there, which told me that Russia wants them. But of course, in the era of drone warfare, the job I did would be impossible today. Absolutely impossible.
Because now, as we know, there’s this 30-kilometer withdrawal zone either side of the contact line for artillery and tanks and different weapons systems according to whatever range they have, is a really quaint, old-fashioned way of maintaining a ceasefire or a peace.
Whereas now you have this drone which no one can see, which radars can’t see and can’t stop. as we see with the Shahid drones, which would make monitoring a ceasefire absolutely impossible. Someone flies a drone, that should be the breach of a ceasefire.
But that doesn’t mean Russia isn’t still madly trying to push Minsk as a concept, as an idea. And James, you mentioned someone in President Lensky said there’ll be no Minsk. You know, I found it in that meeting in Indonesia where Ukraine set out its 10-point peace plan. And the first point is there will be no Minsk III.
Ukraine cannot say this enough. It is said it a thousand times. And now, thankfully, all of our leaders are on board with this, apart from one, sadly, who is indulging the Russians with this. And this is the purpose of this. of Kellogg going to Minsk. So publicly, Russia says you can press on and keep going for forever.
But what it really wants is to stabilize the front lines and rerun this whole Minsk three troll where you had five years after the Minsk agreements in December 2019, you had President Zelensky in Paris. It’s very memorable, important meeting. in Paris with Macron and Merkel and Putin.
And Russia just wants to replay the same tune again and again. Now, I don’t think Kellogg, there’s no reason Kellogg would understand this, or even those, Paul Manafort might, who is probably the liaison between the oligarchs, Putin and Donald and his team. But he may understand this, why they’re putting Minsk again. But as far as Kellogg,
I mean, he’s the one who said we need to hit the mule to teach the lesson. He’s just like a mule, a dumb mule who probably is doing this. And he still thinks that people are listening to what he is doing in the peace process.
But I didn’t pick up any vibes from Mertz or Maloney or any of them. If we see the body language from Maloney, some epic photographs we may have seen from Canada. So there’s no one pushing for Minsk III now, and I think all of our leaders have been convinced of what I knew immediately, that Ukraine,
after the full-scale invasion, you would never have another Minsk. This war goes on to the end, until Russia leaves the whole of Ukraine, if that’s in 100 years or in a few weeks. And obviously, all of us are working for it to be in a few weeks or a month or two.
But there will be no Minsk 3. I mean, you cannot say it’s it’s not technically possible. Belarus entered the war. We remember this. It is a party to this war. Ukraine remembers this and Ukraine. would be fully in its rights and may well do this.
It may well take out all of the Russian materiel and troops who are supposedly assembling in Belarus. So the idea of Lukashenko, he’s trying to play coy and innocent. He is very much party to this war and sanctioned as such. And he will, and Ukraine is perfectly within its rights as Will has pointed out as well, of
striking sites in Belarus. But that’s why I believe Kellogg is going to Minsk. It’s an embassy on behalf of Russia, and it’s mainly to feed the information space. And so we’re going to now see Minsk for the next week or so. And it’s supposed to provoke in people’s minds this halcyon moment where we had
a ceasefire and people stopped dying. And Russia was able just to get on with brainwashing the people in the areas it was in and disassembling all the factories and lick its wounds and try and do something. But, and as an American, it just, it astonishes me that the people around that, that the state, the great country,
the greatest country there’s ever been, can be laid so low as this to have Kellogg unknowingly going merely to serve as a prompt for a disenfoked or character Minsk in our information space. That’s really what I want to talk about today.
