W. Niederhut Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 (edited) 19 minutes ago, Douglas Caddy said: Moscow Elite in a Panic Over Tape Blasting Putin as ‘Satan’ (yahoo.com) I read the initial reports about this Progzhin phone call with interest this week. Obviously, some very powerful people in Putin's FSB oligarchy are fed up with Mad Vlad. Will Putin dare to have even Prigozhin thrown out of a window? Incidentally, I read two other stories recently illustrating the similarities between Putin's FSB police state today and Stalin's NKVD police state during WWII. One was about a Russian who was sent to the Gulag for criticizing Putin in a private communique. (This is precisely what happened to artillery Captain Alexander Solzhenitsyn during WWII-- he was sentenced to 10 years in the Gulag for posting a joke about Stalin in a private letter from the Front.) The other story was about Putin's use of snipers who shoot Russian soldiers for retreating from the front lines in Ukraine-- an old tactic used by Stalin during WWII. Edited March 28, 2023 by W.

Perhaps it played a role in his later involvement with the scurrilous National Enquirer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When Trump announced that he was "going to be arrested Tuesday" and told people to protest, the small number of Proud Boys that showed up in Manhattan got a less than friendly welcome and ultimately required escorts to get out of an unpleasant situation. That kind of BS isn't going to be allowed by New Yorkers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt, On the other hand, a woman with a knife-- a Trumpster-- was arrested outside of the NY court house yesterday after threatening people, and some yahoo recently mailed DA Alvin Bragg some white powder.
