GREAT RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA
Same woman appearing in interviews in Kiev, Kharkiv, Odessa and Svastopol being interviewed by Russian media.
In other words, a Russian camera crew is faking all these interviews for domestic consumption.
I mean. I gotta say. As a man who appreciates good propaganda, this is pretty good propaganda. lol.

The Budapest Accord promised #Ukraine that NATO would protect it’s borders in exchange for its nuclear weapons – NATO LIED AGAIN.

In case the media (or the Russian government) suggest that the government troops were defending themselves, watch them murder men from a distance who are pinned down on the ground. Watch real men fighting for their liberty, not for a share of someone else’s money.

I live in downtown Kiev. In the old city (Podol) There is no chaos here. I’ve been up in Maidan at the stage and it’s basically a cross between a keg party and a church ceremony now.
We couldn’t get western attention here for months, and then all of a sudden we lose a lot of people in one day, the media finds bread and circus for the peasantry, and the average western clown is an expert on events here.
Russians (and Ukrainians – prior to 1900 known as the Rusyas ), have a bravado bit of nonsense on the scale of Southern Italians. And western news media, always looking to make viewers feel morally and intellectually superior, take advantage of it.
When realistically, compare Kiev to Venezuela, and look at the body language of the protesters alone. These are gentle people tired of corruption. They just want freedom from an oppressive state.
Unless Russia walks into Donetsk with tanks, all will be boring and fine here.
They’ve asked for Volunteers to clean up the main square starting on March 1st and I’m sure we’ll all chip in and take care of it. And it will be a CIVIC PEOPLE who CARE ABOUT THEIR CULTURE, and who don’t expect the government to do anything to help, that will make it happen.

THERE ARE BUT THREE WAYS TO CONTROL A PEOPLE:
1) MORAL ARGUMENT
i – Tools: Religion. Shaming. Rallying. Deception. Obscurantism.
ii – Threat:Inclusion and Exclusion from the benefit of group membership.
iii – Our defense: Reason, Science, Propertarianism (the logic of cooperation)
2) VIOLENCE
i – Tools: War. Law. Police.
ii – Threat: death, deprivation, takings.
iii – Our defense: The Militia. Rule of law. Common Law. Constitution. Property Rights.
3) REMUNERATION
i – Tools : Fiat money. Fiat Credit. Taxation. (extraction)
ii – Threat : deprivation. poverty.
iii – Our Defense: Precious metals. private money. digital currency.
A PEOPLE MUST POSSESS THESE DEFENSES TO PROTECT THEMSELVES FROM THE PREDATORY STATE.
a) Reason. Science. Propertarianism.
b) The Militia. Rule of Law. Common Law. Constitution. Property Rights.
c) Natural Money. Private money. Digital Money.
IT IS AFTER THE PEOPLE POSSESS THESE THINGS, AND ONLY AFTER, THAT IT IS SAFE TO USE THE STATE FOR MUTUAL INSURANCE AND CARE-TAKING.
The government is a very dangerous thing. Like all dangerous things, it may have benefits. But only if the dangers are handled with the extreme caution that they deserve. Like all harmful things, the state will harm those who attempt to gain its benefits without paying the high cost of its careful handling.

It’s really strange to me, living here, how CLUELESS western governments and reporters are. I mean, reading the western media, is embarrassing. The implied superiority and pontification is insulting.
What I didn’t grasp before living here was how much status signaling was contained in western propaganda.
It’s pathetic really.
(Dear: Max Romanenko thank you for mentoring me on the ‘real’ history of this part of the world.)

Magic, Conspiracy, and Truth
(irony) (humor)
While I can’t empathize with it, I do understand why so many women believe in magic. It’s obvious really. If it’s precognitive, it’s magic. Stuff just ‘happens’ for a lot of women. They call it ‘energy’ or whatever. And, if men can obsess about ‘truth’ for a few thousand years, why can’t women obsess about magic? Or astrology. The mind is not open to much introspection. The incomprehensible is indistinguishable from magic. You see conspiracy theories from men the way you see belief in magic from women. Same difference: just different interpretations of ‘magical causes’.
Ordinary people actually scare me. I love them. But they scare me. They’re like children running with scissors.
And we let them vote for goodness sake?!

http://www.ntv.ru/novosti/844777/This is why ordinary people with video cameras make a difference. It is one thing to hear numbers. It is another to see people slaughtered from a distance.

The “gullible high trust white people” meme has legs.
Why is it that we just love pseudoscience?
Platonism is forgivable. And its curable. But gullibility? Why are white people so gullible?
If I figure it out (and I will) there is something very valuable in there somewhere.
I know its partly genetic. I know its partly institutional.
