Mindfuckery and Geopolitics

Posted on by Dmitry

Mr David Brooks I think said writing’s about working out your own shit…. in public. and usually there’s some value in it for other people, too. I don’t think anyone in my family is Actually anti Semitic… on a good day, I think even my parents would agree that people should be judged by the content of their character…. on a case by case basis. There is ongoing discussion about what that “Content” should be… but that’s a story for another day.

they… they also say, you need to spend as much time walking out of the woods…. as you did getting lost in there. Some kind of metaphor. and Probably more or less accurate. So the mindfuckery, for me began in 1998. we’re going to America. hehe. it’s better there. that’s what they said. we won a Lottery. In 2011, I believe the mindfuckery began to end. I had a spiritual awakening. So what is that? 12 or 13 years each way. Sounds about right.

I understand that there is some confusion about what actually happened in 1991. I suppose much of the West saw it as some kind of victory? Whereas… if you pay attention to people like… Gorbachev… Jeff Sachs… maybe Mearsheimer… the idea was to establish friendly relations after Russia decided to abandon communism… something like that. Hence the LOTTERY.

But, honestly, as I’ve written here, and elsewhere, I can’t see what great good it did me, so far, to move to the States, from Russia. Everyone seems to work a lot. My mom used to get upset and start packing her bags every 6 months or so… hehe. And now I’m begging “Them” to send me back to Russia. Because I don’t understand. I really do not understand what the hell is going on around here. They said the schools are great. Well I believe I did test that theory. University of Michigan. I am an alcoholic. thank you. now what? I remember taking a Marriage & Family class. So I think I did my part… hehe. I am still not married. The main thing I remember learning is that The Family is an extremely violent institution. Fair enough. Perhaps those are the facts. I won’t argue. But I don’t recall hearing any Great solutions worthy of a Great institution… University of Michigan… ahem.

Another major source of confusion, for me was… I began to run into these… uhh… well Russian Jews I guess. I understand they left as refugees a few years earlier. Mostly worked in engineering fields. A lot of them got jobs within the auto industry. I mean… I don’t know. I suspect they may have had more reasons to Leave Russia or USSR than we did… but the fact they were better off than my parents and I really disturbed me. I mean. what the hell. I’m a goddamn lottery winner. That’s what I remember. About 1998.

And now… well I don’t know. My parents go to work and I write poetry.

Who gives a shit who blew up the Nord Stream? Russia…. US… Norway. Who gives a shit. the problem, as I see it, you cannot have the “defensive” NATO alliance which should have been phased out after 91, continue to expand, while taking advantage of Russian resources. I think most Russians have some respect for the West and it’s culture (especially Europe), but if this Unfriendly behavior continues, naturally, Russia decides to sell the oil & gas elsewhere. Ya can’t have it both ways. Do ya get it yet??

in one fell swoop, all of the reasons for keeping a job were eliminated… 2009

In every age of India, yoga has produced men who became truly free…

Yogananda

I will write a book about all this someday… possibly.

why do you go to work… WHYYYYYYY

because someone told you to.

but when that’s gone… WHYYYYY??

well there’s money of course. depending on the job, they either pay you enough to buy beer, or perhaps make a baby. and they never paid Me enough to make a baby. and Aa people tell me that I shouldn’t drink.

So I went to college. and I got a fucking job. and then what?

I met other college-educated people who were completely full of shit. you don’t get smarter working a job. you just don’t.

Unless you’re at Accenture… and THEY ask you… are you LEARNING AND GROWING??

WELL ARE YA?? Are YA???

no. not anymore.

so then you’re free.

so you’re still there? At work, huh? Why? Are you trying to impress your father? he’s not impressed, Amanda… hehe. you don’t need to do this. why don’t you just make some babies instead? those things always seem to make the old man happy.

this Entrepreneurship thing isnt working out. I went to all the club meetings. but it’s not working out.

And now, any Employment that falls under FLSA (Fair labor standards act) coverage is absolutely detestable. I met the people who are supposed to be enforcing these laws, remember? yes, I did. I was one of them for a while. and that was it. they’re not going to help you. when your idiot managers or coworkers are fucking with you. you will not be helped.

Enough’s enough. when you need a drink. you grab a backpack, fill it up with Tall bois, and run like hell. 9 times out of 10, the police won’t catch you. the Loss prevention specialists are even less useful than the FLSA enforcement people, Thank God.

sorry… I am hung over… but I had to get some stuff out… there.

work……. work’s just a place filled with Sadistic, resentful bastards you want to Avoid. As long as Mom’s alive. I am staying away from Work. fuck work.

Poverty Solutions

Posted on by Dmitry

as many of you know…. I am a University of Michigan graduate. I guess I’m pretty smart, but there were definitely classes I struggled with in Ann Arbor, so I guess I’m not as brilliant as I thought I was.

I like to check in once in a while, with my alma mater. I once asked for a million dollars (True story), and they sent a detective out here. They don’t just give out money, I guess… there’s always hoops to jump through.

Now, I haven’t actually reached out to this POVERTY SOLUTIONS group. It looks like it may just be one guy coloring excel sheets or something, but I really think the Name is a little uh…. ill-fitting, I want to say. Like everything around here, in America. lots of HOPE… not much substance.

No, Mr. Luke does have a large staff, actually. Data, data, data. STRATEGIC PROJECTS. They have a Communications Specialist and also a Senior Communications Specialist. Wow. and they’re all SOLVING POVERTY.

See, for me, being an alcoholic, homelessness became a real possibility after graduation. if it weren’t for the codependent Mom, I probably would be on the street somewhere. I wonder how many homeless University of Michigan graduates there are. I bet the Poverty Solutions director knows. I am real curious.

So. I don’t know. maybe I should reach out to them. I am just trying to imagine how that Conversation might go. He might tell me to go SEE SOMEONE (like a therapist). that’s what the Detective said when she arrived here. And I did. I saw lots of therapists. probably close to a dozen. they haven’t even gotten me sober yet.

or, maybe. GET A JOB. JUST GET A FUCKING JOB SOMEWHERE.

No, no no no no. See, that would be ME doing stuff. Everyone and their Cat tells me to get a job. That’s not very original. See, you’re the guy with the POVERTY SOLUTIONS. so Solve my Poverty!!!

How about this, how about you tell me how I can get my very Own Poverty Solutions bullshit budget, and I bet that would solve some problems. for me.

Well? How about it? Where do I sign up?

a quick lesson in how to think.

Posted on by Dmitry

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools because they have to say something.

Someone said it… many years ago.

a lesson in how to think… and maybe history. I’ve been sort of thinking about this since February and I think today something clicked, and maybe someone will see some value here.

so my thesis here is that the Universities of Yale and Cambridge are engaged in the activity of Propaganda. This is my third post on the blog about the Subject, and hopefully the last. It would be nice I think for everyone if the conflict wraps up soon.

Propaganda, defined by Oxford as information, especially of a biased or misleading nature, used to promote or publicize a particular political cause or point of view… I think. yes, I copy pasted that from somewhere.

Perhaps this a case of Genuine ignorance, but come on, you’re a Cambridge professor for fuck’s sake. Aren’t you?

The language that THEY are using is… Russian Empire… Imperialist ambitions. Aggression aggression aggression. And I have to say that’s a new sort of idea for me, when it comes to Ukraine. My grandparents had a little apartment near the Sea of Azov. I’d spend my summers there. In the early 1990s. I don’t remember any Aggression. There just wasn’t any aggression, back then, in Mariupol. We’d go to the beach and eat cotton candy and stuff. That’s what I remember. Had a pretty happy childhood, actually, until they dragged me to the USA. I have not seen a lot of Mr. Putin’s declarations of his imperialist ambitions. I’ve seen him talk a lot about Ukraine and Russia as being friendly nations. Both were part of the USSR a little over 30 years ago, after all. The Crimea referendum of 2014 is Some evidence of that. Isn’t it? That’s a big chunk of the story these “Historians” keep trying to ignore. Or misrepresent.

You’re trying to attribute Incorrect Motives to Putin, or Russia… or whoever it is. I’m not sure why, but that is my conclusion. And why do you keep nourishing these resentments, instead of looking for a real way out? Why?

Why?

So, I will ask You, Mr Rory Finnin, Mr Tim Snyder, where the Fuck did this Aggression come from? Are you sure it’s all Russia? Mr. Putin can also show you lots of evidence of Nato shit getting pumped into Ukraine. I can see how he might view that as very unfriendly. Very, very unfriendly.

Mearsheimer predicted years ago that Ukraine will be wrecked and here we are. But don’t play dumb and act like you didn’t see this coming. and like you had nothing to do with it. who the fuck do you work for? Yale, or MIC?

Seriously.

Tracking Yale University disinformation efforts

Posted on by Dmitry

so this is a sequel to the last post here.

I’ve spent time in at least 4 former Soviet republics, as far as I know, so I’ll just start by saying the fact that two of these could be at war to me seems insane. But… well, every news outlet seems to agree. There really is a war… people are dying. Over a million refugees fled. So far.

I am even more shocked by these… “history” panelists who keep blaming Russia for everything. This is just not okay. I guess they mention Ukrainian students in the audience… so perhaps some of this is just about telling people what they want to hear. But don’t be fooled. This is not good history. Watch Jimmy Dore for good history. Seriously. Oliver Stone also made a pretty good movie on Ukraine in 2019. He tries to present a balanced view.

If Tim Snyder truly doesn’t want war, the question I would ask is WHAT HAS THE UNITED STATES BEEN DOING, in these 30 years, which contributed to this conflict? Let’s start with that, Tim.

I watched the video twice. And what do they talk about? Rebuilding Russian Empire? Interesting… Putin is deranged? So you guys are Psychologists, too, huh? Nellie is talking about Abandoned pets at some point. I think they’re just trying to piss me off… Snyder is still telling people that Crimea was SEIZED… VIOLENTELY. as if the voice of Crimeans at the 2014 referendum counts for nothing.

He says he is Pro-facts and Anti-propaganda.

No, Tim Snyder. You ARE full of shit.

Why aren’t Russian security concerns about Nato expansion Mentioned? Why aren’t the Neo-Nazi battalions mentioned? Why isn’t the 2014 coup discussed, and the failure of Ukraine to abide by Minsk agreements?

Why, Tim? Why? You say you want to talk to Russians. Well here I am. Stop lying.
