...and it was a head-scratcher. I've known and have had occasional conversations with Dan for about 7 years. We met on an online international social exchange type forum, now defunct. He was there to learn English and western culture...basically wanted to find out if the west was as evil as he'd been taught. He lives in a small-ish village, doing better than some but far from wealthy. Over the past 7 years he got married, built his own home by hand with help from his brother and friends, and has a child now.

Anyway, we had an online conversation yesterday and I asked him what he thought about Russia's invasion of Ukraine, where he figured it'd go and all that, and his answers surprised me, but they are interesting.

He said there's no real democracy anywhere in the world, that all governments are puppet regimes controlled by 2 organizations. These 2 organizations control everything on the planet. They make everything happen, including wars. They control people and the world economy through education systems, the media and marketing, and every industry.

About Russia's invasion of Ukraine he said "Think back to two months ago, 6 weeks ago, two weeks ago. What was happening? All the world was talking about this thing. A hint: it was a big major thing when it happen in Canada. ...Yes, you are right; Freedom Caravan. Now remember what time Russia made invasion to Ukraine. Is when Freedom Caravan start in US. Freedom Caravan is threat, the real threat. Is threat to 2 companies, 2 corporation. Can you guess, my friend? Who are they, these two?"

I couldn't guess, so he told me. Blackrock and Vanguard.

Me: Dan, have you learned yet the English phrase "Conspiracy theorist?"

He laughed and said "Yes, I know it." Then he asked me what I thought. I told him I'd study up on Blackrock and Vanguard and promised him I'd think about it without judgement. He said it was "no matter", that we have no control over it anyway, but that goodness would ultimately triumph over this evil.

Then he sent me a link to this incredible animated video. (13 minutes)

Dan is very religious. He mentioned more than once that he's read the Bible twice, so I suppose he's thinking of Revelations. He likened these 2 corporations to Satan and seems certain that good will triumph in the "final battle".

I don't judge him at all. This is what he believes, and that's ok. Learning more about him was interesting, though. But he'll remain my friend.

You are being suckered by your Russian friend. He's part of an anti semitic group making the suggestion that "they" control everything. I know more than one Russian, Frank, I know legions.
I'd easily guarantee you that he is connected.

Yup, sounds about right. Always be super, super careful about interacting with folks from Russia. China also. Spies are not just in the movies. And they are not just James Bond types. Corrupt regimes use every dirty trick in the book to try and get into our society and create influence...in every single sphere imaginable.

I am not saying our governments here in the Western are pristine, perfect and without corruption.

But just because every large institution has some corruption, does not mean they have anywhere near the same level of corruption, human rights abuses and on.

Amnesty International issues annual reports of human rights abuses, country by country. Some are just pure evil. And the US, Britain, Germany, France...others.....however imperfect, they all commit only a tiny fraction of the human rights abuses perpetrated by countries like Russia and China.

Putin and his gang of goons have stolen their money FROM the Russian people. They are keeping the Russian people down. They are the ones causing poverty in Russia. All they would ever have to do is just let the people be, open up trade with the West and their people would be so much better off. But they are horribly myopic, demonically selfish and just ruining the lives of millions...and have been for over 20 years now.

China is different, far more complex. There are some good things happening in China. About 300 million out of their 1.3 billion population now have Western standard of living levels. Which is some legitimate good and progress. So, however abusive, I do think the Chinese government has some devotion to some of the Chinese people.

I don't think the Russian oligarchs care a single jot whether the Russian population lives or dies or suffers.

They're criminals. They are Mafia. They all belong in jail.
 
He posted a youtube video Sunday ..."Prices in a Russian Grocery store after sanctions 2022" ...full shelves, great prices ...and about three other shoppers in the store during the whole video. :rolleyes:

Putin is 6' 7" tall. He once bench pressed 9000 lbs. He can fly. At night, in the sky above Moscow, he can been seen flying in the air with a beautiful sack of candy and toys for the children. His tears cure cancer. When he sings, the angels stop and weep.

Thank you, sweetheart.

He knows about my Jewish heritage, though. He said he studied Judaism. And this conversation yesterday (actually, Monday) was the first time he ever talked politics. If you can call it that.

Anyway, I don't talk to him very often; 3-4 times a year, just to see how he's doing. We talked a lot years ago on the social site we were on. I liked helping him with his English....me and about 20 other people on there.

I'll be careful, hon.

I didn't know how popular he's gotten until Paco Dennis posted one of his videos and I went and checked it out. I knew he'd started a channel, and I used to watch it fairly often, but I haven't watched any for well over a year.

I'm glad he's doing well.
