    and I know this post goes against most here .... but I am not after 'likes', just truth .... so sod it
    I never intended to share that in public, i was forced to do it because i had previously shared in private with someone and i felt that person could use it against me somehow, so i had to come clean. Otherwise it would still be something that no one needed to know as it had been before

    I don't intend or have anything to win with sharing that. In fact the total opposite, every time i share it some people tend to distance from me, i already explained that

    I don't need to explain myself to anyone, i share what i think and let it be, like what i say or not that's on you. I am not going to judge anyone

    Quote Who except her/he has any proof of claim .... do you?
    When i ask you for money or anything in return then i'll show you who i am. I'm not a public person and i intend to remain private. I have never talked about any of that stuff outside Avalon, and i have my private reasons to keep it here and will probably never talk about again. Why do you think i owe you anything?

    Quote You do not know that for a fact .... unless you have information we do not!
    And if he did he would not be required to share it with anyone, because as i already said, i am not expecting anything from anyone or trying to do anything with my life experiences. It is done and once again i only talked about it in an open way to prevent someone else harming me because i was betrayed.

    Also, discussing a person here is in bad taste, i don't even know why that person started this questioning. That's a very odd fixation to have

    If i'm childish i don't care, i'm the way i am, is this one of those ridiculous "i'm 40 so i expect you to act 40 when you talk to me, or i'm 60 and you better act 60 like me, or i'm bitter, why are you not bitter like me?" things?

    I cope with PTSD the way i do and that's no one's problem but me. Would you rather me go all bitter and violent and demand that everyone stops having fun because i'm bitter and broken inside? That's just illogical and none-sensical

    That's all

    This person was a Nazi supporter, killed lots of people back in 2014 and was very proud of it, took pictures with their Nazi flags and bragged a lot online

    Now she's crying and asking for help. It's not the same to kill unarmed civilians than to go face to face with a true army, isn't it? She's not a victim, she killed innocent people and was proud of it

    "Tell me you are resentful without telling me you are resentful"

    Have some class, self-respect and dignity. Attacking someone like that is very low, have better standards of life, please

    I'm going to ignore these low attacks from now on.

    There have been attacks to the internet all night and still continue, lots of sites can't load because of it, even Avalon seems to be very slow to load but i suppose is for the same reason, the major ISPs are getting attacked right now, but mostly on the western part of Russia it seems

    Quote Posted by Lilyofthestars (here)


    I for one will say that my heart aches and weeps for Ukraine. I will not be manipulated by any of the propaganda on either side of the line. I do however believe Ukrainians on the ground. Over the last week, I have taken an extensive amount of time to carefully listen to as many interviews as possible with Ukrainians (by the dozens) and ultimately feel convinced that this is 100% Putin's madness to blame, and that he has gone insane. No, such people are not paid actors. This is not another Sandy Hook Alex Jones drama.

    I know that NATO and its side of the narrative is widely half-truths. The realities of the World Wide Economic forum, the Great reset, and who will lead the coming world post 2030 has MORE to do with this than anyone could imagine, in my opinion. But that does not mean that everything we are learning about what is going on in Ukraine at the hands of Putin's murderous spirit is 100% propaganda by the Ukrainian government. This is a man who poisons and kills his enemies and anyone who stands up to him.

    I call BS to anyone who is saying that Putin is not the aggressor here. Videos and Images do not lie. Sure, some of you can say that much of the imagery and videos circulating around could be from old Russian/Ukraine confrontations from 2014/15, but that is only a few instances. All of which have accurately been called out already. Even the BBC (who apparently is all lying propaganda, right? and yes, that was sarcasm), has fully admitted that some of the videos/images coming out need to be properly labeled as old footage that is not related to the current devastation occurring.

    But make no mistake, there IS DEVASTATION going on all over Ukraine at the moment. I have seen enough footage from dozens of towns now. Its happening. And yes, its at the hand of Russian soldiers. It is not the Ukrainian military bombing its own people to make Putin look aggressive. What has this become, a 4chan channel?

    Ukraine is so much more ancient than modern Russia or the Oligarch families who rule it. Thank God Russians are taking to the streets in Moscow and protesting. What Putin is doing isn't justifiable and he is a liar. I am in disbelief that there is even any debate here about who is causing all of this. Yes, yes. I know the layers go intricately deep, deeper than any of us could imagine who are not directly Russian or Ukrainian. However, videos and images do not lie. And most of the current circulating videos/photography are indeed current.




    And here

    Russia-Ukraine crisis: Graphic photos show bloodied civilians amid invasion

    Everyone keeps saying that the narrative is in "reverse", as in I keep seeing claims (in other places other than Avalon), that its really Ukraine who is deliberately manufacturing all of this to somehow paint a false narrative that Putin is invading. That he's simply there "meeting" Ukraine's supposed aggression. What planet are such people living on? For all you can say about how terrible the "west" media is, it has actually done an impeccable job with boots on the ground interviews and coverage in Ukraine for days now. I have been quite impressed with with the accurate interviews and coverage of yes, WESTERN media journalists who are IN UKRAINE right now speaking to people in the streets constantly.

    A certain person here who has past dealings living in Ukraine, no longer lives there. Her input is greatly valued. But keep in mind, Ukraine itself is widely divided. You have the minority of Ukrainians who will defend Putin and his actions to the very bitter end, then you have what truly appears to be far MORE Ukrainians who are terrified of him and who he has proven himself to be over the years. If Ukrainians were so happy about Putin invading and actually wanted to become a part of the motherland of Russia, they wouldn't all be fleeing by the millions. STOP supporting this tyranny and madness by making excuses for Putin.

    This isn't a NATO VERSUS Russia Debate. This should be a humanitarian crisis debate alone. Screw government agendas. Just look at the realities of what Putin is trying to pull off. I don't care about NATO's lies at this point. What is evident is the psychopathic/sociopathic mentality of Putin at the moment and how many thousands of people will die due to his inability to allow Ukraine to make their own decisions as a sovereign nation. So what if it use to be a part of Russia? It isn't anymore and hasn't been for 30 years. A majority of the people have spoken. They do not want to be a part of Russia. NATO's evils and agendas are another debate for another time. Putin's government and style of governance is no less or more corrupt than NATO and its allies are. I say they're all not to be trusted.

    Ukraine is truly being used as a Sacrificial lamb by both sides and I find it despicable that NATO will not lift a pinky finger to stop this. Ukraine turned over almost all of their nuclear stock pile in hopes to one day be a part of NATO. They were assured securities and help should the need ever arise. NATO owes them protection at this point, even if they aren't a part of NATO yet. I can only imagine how abandoned Ukrainians are feeling at the moment.

    Lastly, my understanding is that the "Nashi", which is a now nonexistent group (unless they just rebranded?), were entirely Pro-Putin on every level. Putin apparently funded it. So, I guess that says everything about the sentiments I am seeing fly around.
    Here's a review of the Nashi. It at least provides the basics. Nashi Overview and history. I realize that some of this is up for debate, but overall I am sure the article is fairly accurate concerning how they were used by Putin to further his agenda. I'd go as far as to say even manipulated and lied to. Their suffering used as a finely tuned weapon.

    To quote:

    Quote Nashi's close ties with the Kremlin have been emphasized by Vladislav Surkov, Deputy Presidential Chief of Staff (1999-2011), who met with the movement's activists on numerous occasions, delivering speeches and holding private talks. It has been speculated that the Kremlin's primary goal was to create a paramilitary force to harass and attack Vladimir Putin's critics as "enemies of the State". At a political education event in summer 2006, the Kremlin advisor Gleb Pavlovsky told Nashi members that they "lacked brutality": "you must be prepared", he went on, "to break up fascist demonstrations and prevent with force any attempt to overthrow the constitution" (source is adequately cited here). Critics have compared Nashi to the Soviet Komsomol and the Hitler Youth.
    Make what you will of that. I think Malisa is a wonderful person on the forum. But I also believe that War and unthinkable human abuses can warp one's mind and soul in such a way that you can't always see properly. Evil exists everywhere. There is no one culture/ethnicity that doesn't have rapists, murderers, and psychopaths misusing their positions of power. Especially when it comes to any given nation's military. You can not generalize all Ukrainians or all Russians, nor more than you could Arabs or Jews. One can say "A Ukrainian soldier did this to me or my loved one and therefore I will support the opposing side", but those experiences can't possibly reflect the "all" of Ukrainian soldiers. All men that wear a uniform for ANY country are capable of extreme human abuses during times of war. It goes with the territory of being a trained killer. Sadly, people (as in the regular citizens who become causalities of such cruelties) seek revenge on those they feel are responsible for their pain and suffering. It also means that once someone has seen a loved one brutally hurt or murdered by one side, they will never trust anyone from that side again. This is how extremist terrorist groups are amassed and created. Its called being blind because you were hurt by someone on the other side of the line.

    At this point, I stand with Ukraine and I trust the "West" narrative far more than what I'm seeing coming out of Putin's mouth on an hourly basis now. I am listening to both sides carefully and have been for weeks now. Putin is quickly spiraling out of control and his insanity grows more intense by the hour.

    This video below is a just an example of what its like if you DARE not choose your words correctly when speaking with Putin. This man looks like he was about to faint in FEAR or piss his pants in terror. I am sure he knows far more about what Putin is capable of than any of us. It is not Propaganda, and never has been, that Putin murders and poisons all who oppose him.

    The Nashi got corrupted, they started acting like Nazi groups just in the same way as the Azov, except they were anti nazi but still did similar things, it was terrible to watch.

    Officially it ended in 2015 or so i believe, but internally it was dead since 2012 more or less. It was only one side of them that truly kept firm on their beliefs, the rest started abusing power and got more corrupt day by day until it was divided and then completely disbanded. Lots of Nashi ended up fighting in Donbass in 2014, some because they truly wanted to help the people there, and some just because they wanted to kill people and not much else. That's the reality of it all

    I disagree with Putin in a lot of things, in general i'm anti Putin

    In this case i know what the people in Donbass has gone through, and what the Ukranians were capable of, i can't deny the people truly needed help and it was being neglected even by the UN for lots of years. There's a breaking point for that kind of stuff

    If you can handle graphic images, here's a document about it, this among plenty other evidence like videos and more were delivered to the UN back then, they sat on it for years doing nothing about it
    https://sledcom.ru/upload/site1/docu...A_russkaya.pdf

    The evidence was clear and was there, they had it and yet did nothing with it, so they can't claim they were not aware of what was going on. These were crimes against humanity

    I'm going to ignore these low attacks from now on.
    Helpful mod note: (for anyone at all who wants to ignore anyone else)

    The way to do this is via your personal Settings page. (Edit Ignore List is shown in the left sidebar.) This direct link works for anyone:
    This topic is too important to get involved in personal criticism. We all need to figure out together, if we can, what's happening here. We've done it very successfully with a whole bunch of other issues that seem to bewilder quite a lot of people, so this should not be beyond us.

    I'll say again: it's not about whether Putin is a bad guy or not. I'd suggest it's about
    • What the Globalist/NWO/WEF agenda may be;
    • What the US agenda may be;
    • What Putin's agenda may be;
    • What the impact may be on regular people round the world;
    • How this may escalate (or not);
    • Reliable news reports (and/or other information that we may not have easy access to) about what the heck is really happening in various critical places;
    • And while one's view of history may depend on where one lives and what one has been exposed to or influenced by, reliable historical information may also be very helpful to us all.
    Many Avalon members are watching this thread, and all day there have been many more visitor guests. They're here because they're looking for reliable news updates, good information about every aspect of this, and/or because they may be concerned. I'd like to ask everyone to please do their best to share the highest quality information (and insights) that they can. THX.

    Mod note from Bill:

    Jeez, guys. We're discussing WW3 here.

    I'm not convinced that this will lead to the so-called WW3, although there is a massive push on that narrative at the moment.
    As a side note, I consider that what has happened to the continent of Africa to be WW3. That continent has been completely devastated by hybrid forms of war, perpetrated mostly by transnational organizations sometimes under the banner of a nation (US, Britain, Europe, China, ect.. ) and sometimes under the banner of United Nation NGO's.

    I also think it's important to listen to Malisa's perspective, as I think it's important to listen the The Saker and to George Eliason, because of their personal experiences.

    Right now, I'm listening to a virtual talk with Professor John Mearsheimer, on the context and history of the Ukraine from 20220221. Of course, he is coming from a more mainstream perspective which leaves out that the Ukraine had become a "captured" nation used by corrupt people for a wide range of horrendous crimes. My heart goes out to the people of Ukraine and all of Eastern Europe and other places that this has happened to over the last several decades.


    Quote Professor John J. Mearsheimer is the R. Wendell Harrison Distinguished Service Professor of Political Science at the University of Chicago, where he has taught since 1982. He graduated from West Point in 1970 and then served five years as an officer in the U.S. Air Force. He has published six immensely influential books on international relations theory. In 2020, he won the James Madison Award, which is given once every three years by the American Political Science Association to “an American political scientist who has made a distinguished scholarly contribution to political science.”
    He brings up the issue of the US Monroe Doctrine, and applies the logic to Russia, which makes sense in my opinion.

    Bernie Sanders does the same here:


    And while I don't think this will necessarily give way to WW3, I do think there is something much larger afoot.
    I find myself looking around the edges, and at that place 6 feet behind me, rather than at the projector screen in front of me, if that makes sense.

    I wasn't sure.. Good to know that. There's so much to review here that I can't catch every message you write in to the forum. I'm glad to see you aren't defending his actions. This entire thing is horrifying and it will likely spiral into WWIII soon enough. Once China decides its a convenient time to take back Taiwan simultaneously (reports are pouring in that they're now eyeing the timing being good for it), the whole thing could spiral into World war incredibly fast.
    Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

    My first thought when this all went hot was what kind of news is coming out from China now?

    Do we have any reliable/recommended sources?
