Honoured to give the keynote speech at Amnesty’s conference on torture in London yesterday. Then dashed back to Edinburgh for a very romantic evening with Nadira – and Cameron!

Topical.
A Scottie (Scottish Terrier) owned by a Russian has won Best in Show at Cruft’s.
Lysias, thanks for the info.
I don’t know if you are aware of this video from last year, which shows an interview between the filmmaker Bill Maloney and fellow anti-child abuse campaigner Chris Fay (Fay is a former police Child Protection Officer)

Since Brittan’s death it’s actually gone more quiet on the expose-paedos front. I would guess this is because of the coming election, and the fact that our lords and masters don’t want us to find out what a bunch of filthy, corrupt scum they are.
Or am I being too kind?
I looked at the latest issue of the Navy Times this morning. (As a retired officer of the U.S. Navy, I’m a subscriber.) It continues to show the U.S.S. Ronald Reagan docked in California (San Diego, presumably). That carrier continues to suffer great difficulties after its deployment off Fukushima. The poor sailors that the Navy and the U.S. government won’t admit are suffering health problems as a result of that deployment!
Macky, I’ll make no comments on the likes of Habba, because that seems to be against the rules of this blog.
All I will say is that this person often comes across as a bad 1950s B-Movie.
“A Scottie (Scottish Terrier) owned by a Russian”
A rather cruel reference to Alex Salmond if I might say so.
Zaur Dadayev, one of suspects in Nemtsov murder, “served 10yrs in Chechen ‘North’ battalion” (run by Kadyrov relatives)

Kadyrov is accused of sending “volunteers” to Eastern Ukraine and at the recent anti-Maidan rent a mob outing Kadyrov supporters were prominent with anti Nemtsov placards.

Why stop now ?! 😀
If you’re worried about the uneven moderating, Habby can be found posting at Sqounk;

Wow, craigmurray.org have let my link above stand! (the link above contains very graphic descriptions – not images – of child sexual abuse and murder, carried out by high level figures).
Perhaps we don’t live in a police state after all; or at least, not in this corner of cyberspace.
There’s hope yet…
For Macky on International Women’s Day

Macky, I’ve got enough on my hands trying to counter the psychos and loons on this blog.
We live under the threat of total nuclear oblivion, but of course it’s all “Perfectly normal and under control”.
I refuse to believe that the human race are really that stupid.
Maybe I’m just a naive fool. Or maybe I don’t take the same drugs as you lot.

RobG; “Macky, I’ve got enough on my hands trying to counter the psychos and loons on this blog.”
I was showing you where some of these very same “psychos and loons” continue to spread their nonsense; I think of it as wack-a-mole for a good cause !
Jemand; “Or maybe it was a false flag operation with some actor playing the part of Nemtsov, which was intended to draw attention away from Russian aggression in the Ukraine.”
Notice that the suspects have been captured & arrrested alive, unlike what happened in Paris recently.
I first learned about International Women’s Day (Междунаро́дный же́нский день) from studying Nina Potapova’s textbook on the Russian languaqe, published by a Soviet publisher. It had a whole chapter on the holiday.
Macky, you and I both understand the totally ridiculous nonsense they come out with.
The difficult bit is making the public understand it.
Sad story, but it’s the American Way; Shoot First, Ask Questions Later;

My God Lysias, you must be old. I remember that Nina Potopova’s texbook and the black and white illustrations. Acid paper pages. But very good in its own way.
RobG; “The difficult bit is making the public understand it.”
Firstly you deal with the propagandists, knaves & fools, only then will the Public have a chance to understand.
A sad story Macky. But why would anybody want to risk their life to live in the United States of America. False values. Even if you’re poor you can still have morals.
@John Goss, nothing to do with morals everybody has a desire for a better life, especially people in desperate conditions; it’s why the Europeans settled in the US in the first place.
Macky, I know, but the US? It is a dream that belies the nightmare. They treat immigrants like dirt. Illegal immigrants even worse. Each to his/her own.

Lysias, is htis the one?

John Goss, that is indeed the one.
Although I started studying Russian earlier than 1969. I attended a summer school class on Russian at City College in New York City in the summer of 1963. The teacher, believe it or not, had been a page at the Tsar’s court. In fact, I have been told that I pronounce Russian with an ancien regime accent.
Perhaps Mr Goss with his in depth knowledge of Russia might wish to provide us with a few words on the treatment of immigrants within Russia?
Suggestion,
Resident you go to America and report on immigration and John Goss you go to Russia and do the same.
Pricks!
иммиграция – проблема нет – только правительства. As I have often mentioned birds have a right of passage without border checkpoints. Governments smuggle more drugs than individuals. They launder more money than the mafia. It is not immigration that needs tackling but governments.
Lysias I think her (Potopova’s) first edition was about 1954 from what I came across last night. I attended nightschool classes in Russian about 1964 for three months when I was an apprentice during which time I learnt the alphabet and one or two basic phrases. It was not until 1980 that I started studying the language. I am certain the best time to learn a language is when you are a child. I have seen this in practice. You also need to live in a country to master the language and its culture.
@Jay, perhaps you prefer something closer to home;

John Goss, 8:50 am:
So why lap up government lies so enthusiastically? Why join a gang that bullies others to propagate them?
