Russell's the Real Deal. He's stood for principle on many a day while still trapped here in the U.S. He knows what freedom actually means in the real world.. And he knows more than most that you eventually actually do have to fight (to the death) for it. Because there are more rotten bastards willing to take it and life from you than there are who will stand up and be counted as brave and principled. And that's Fact # 1.

Yes the wind was challenging the audio BUT the message was clear. So comforting to encounter people from the west who share my world view. Akmat Fergie’s Lighter 😊

Isn't it an issue though that Ukraine is being a fall guy for an American struggle both pro Donbas or Pro Ukrainian Nazis. Maybe Americans need to have their civil war in USA and not Ukraine. the culture of Ukraine may be complex but it is drowned in the global American culture that permeates everything. Much as I liked Oliver Stone docu, USA was full of Nazis in 30's, so was UK except Scotland 1. because anti-semitism was viewed as Catholic 2. Orange Lodge beat them up 3. scotland's never had more than 1% Jewish population, never had pogroms or state sponsored anti semitism because the only experience of Judaism is Biblical. 4. anti semitism is too much like hard work, we have no idea what people are talking about most of the time especially English far right who speak in yiddish about Jockistan. Nobody in 'Jockistan' speaks Yiddish incuding the 1% Jewish who speak Scots or Gaelic.

Hi. I am a member of the Australian United Nations Association. I am researching Ukraine Neo Nazi Army Battalions and the danger of their future Global threat when many of the Ukraine Neo Nazi Foreign Fighters return to their home countries and what this can mean of future Christchurch and Buffalo Massacres. In bother murderers manifesto was the Replacement Theory with Nazi Black Sun symbol on the material they had. The Christchurch massacre Nazi gunman had been to western Europe before his race hate Crime. I am going to be doing a UN Diploma course and will be writing a report on this topic for my course. I have sent an email to Irish EU member of Parliament Clare daly and got a reply that she is going to look into it. I would like to get some research from Fergie who is on the ground and have some cooperation on this report. Here is something on the Christchurch Neo Nazi murderer Brenton Tarrant.In his manifesto he mentioned he was in Ukraine.

think the clue might be in EU mp, same EU that doesn't mind Spain using fascist battalion to beat up O.A.P.S in Catalonia for voting in a referendum. Same EU that caused 60,000 black & brown people to drown because only white Europeans have free movement - but proclaims anybody against free movement of white people racist!

its fine, his first name is Alan not Jock and none of us are his bairns we can all hear it well enough. PS if you don't understand that 'A' Jock Tamsons bairns' just means everybody is equal (under the eys of God). 'A' Jock Tamson's bairns are coming hame' = refugees.
