Scenes in central Belgrade tonight as the pro-NATO, pro-EU "Serbia Against Violence" coalition (who everyone here hates, and lost the election badly fair and square) demonstrate their enduring commitment to peace and democracy by...trying to incite a violent insurrection.
This is despite the US ambassador recognising Vucic's win. If this was happening in Washington DC, everyone involved in the nonsense would be in jail. For a very long time. As it stands, ever-tolerant and respectful Serbia will just let the NED-funded moronicity slide.
Some protesters waved EU flags (30% public support for joining, c/o Western-funded polls). Some waved flags bearing the logo of Otpor!, locally hated CIA assets who helped bring down Milosevic. Serbia Against Violence just made even more people hate them. Genius.
Dragan Bjelogrlić, actor, and one of Serbia Against Violence's most prominent members, recently gave an interview in which he blamed the party's loss on stupid peasants living outside Belgrade refusing to vote for them. Which went down well...
A prominent Serbia Against Violence activist has openly admitted staging video footage of pro-government electoral fraud, which was reported on as authentic by compliant media locally. The party *undoubtedly* engaged in fraud for their own benefit.
Of course some protesters will have legitimate grievances. As Otpor! amply demonstrated, legitimate grievances are evilly exploited by Western powers for malign purposes. Which is precisely why most Serbs completely reject the would-be insurrectionists. They know the score.
Also important to note the Serbian government, contrary to its universal characterisation in the Western media, is...pro-Western. The country has much, much closer political, economic, military and diplomatic ties with the EU/US than Russia.
@jatamanssi @Elkinsianna By contrast, I've been violently assaulted and arrested by UK police for quite literally being in the wrong place at the wrong time, and even not having ID (despite this theoretically not being a crime in the UK).

Absolutely amazing excerpt: the UK has "always" believed the risk of deploying its forces to Ukraine was "too high". This is after months and months of bellicose statements from Starmer that he is "ready and willing to put British troops in Ukraine" 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
All of the statements and pledges contained below never happened. Nothing ever happened. Even while it was happening, it wasn't happening. The UK always believed it was too dangerous to deploy to Ukraine formally and would never dream of making such a commitment.
🧵: With news that Israel is still contemplating a "limited strike" on Iran, important to understand why the US is so resistant to this, why it would be a complete and utter disaster of epic proportions for the Empire, and why fears of a wider war on Iran are overblown...
Iran's strike on Israel last October was absolutely devastating. Its timing, scale, and severity caught Tel Aviv and the US completely off guard. A clear gauntlet was thrown down to both, and they had no response, apart from trying to downplay its impact.
US bases in West Asia are to significant extent relic of when Iran was Western puppet state under the Shah. Their proximity to Iran means the Islamic Republic would be able to take most of them out entirely with hypersonic and ballistic missiles almost instantly if war erupted.
Pretty astonishing that nine days after my investigation into how Ukraine is a British-led proxy war, and London was central to Kiev's disastrous 2023 counteroffensive, The Times publishes basically the same article with a bit more colour:
Key point here that I've made again and again. Britain has been training fascist paramilitaries like Azov, Right Sector etc in Ukraine since 2015. This policy was influenced by Chris Donnelly, #IntegrityInitiative chief currently overseeing Britain's management of the proxy war.
2015 Kyiv Post article on the fascist paramilitary training program, quoting Chris Donnelly and Lithuanian ultranationalist Audrius Butkevicius. They plotted the 2022 attack on Kerch Bridge together.
🧵: Made this point in countless articles and interviews in past few months, but it bears repeating here: it is completely unfathomable that European leaders remain determinedly committed to keep the Ukraine proxy war when it is irretrievably lost for the West. And scary too...
By any objective measure, this has been a disaster on every conceivable level for Europe. They've deindustrialised, wrecked their economies, borderline disarmed by sending equipment to Kiev. The Russians are still marching, and the US - even if slowly - is backing off. It's over.
Only now are European leaders and their mainstream lackeys getting serious about rearmament, conscription, increased defence spending, etc. Their populations don't want any part of it, and nothing implemented now will be remotely meaningful in the short-term. It's all rhetoric.
🧵: This is huge. Priscilla Johnson McMillan interviewed Lee Harvey Oswald in the Soviet Union in 1959. She played a key role in shaping public perceptions of LHO as mentally unstable lone wolf Communist after JFK's assassination. But her role in the coverup went a lot deeper...
In September 1964, the Warren Commission was desperately trying to square the circle of LHO being in two places at once - Mexico City, and Cuban exile Sylvia Odio's home in Dallas, Texas. The Mexico trip in itself was deeply suspect. More here:
Warren Commissioner Senator Richard Russell disbelieved the single bullet bullshit and that LHO had gone to Mexico. So Priscilla miraculously found a bus ticket stub showing Lee travelled there while interviewing his wife Marina at home. More here:
BREAKING: Absolutely *damning* ECHR ruling finds Kiev bears heavy responsibility for the massacre of scores anti-Maidan activists in Odessa, May 2014. Inevitable Western media blackout on this, as it confirms what Russia was saying all along.🧵...
This being the ECHR (with a Ukrainian judge presiding, no less), the ruling is at pains to 'bothsides' the burning to death of dozens of anti-Maidan activists by Neo-Nazi lunatics. Nonetheless, it acknowledges local police and fire services "deliberately" allowed it to happen.
Nobody and nothing stepped in to rescue the anti-Maidan activists as they burned to death, and the ECHR finds this failure "went beyond an error of judgment or carelessness". Maidan authorities actively wanted these people to die, for the crime of being Russian.
