[08-28-2022] Faina Savenkova — Myrotvorets should not exist, and its owners are not held accountable for their actions

08-28-2022 — Faina Savenkova

Journalist Daria Dugina was killed in Russia on Saturday night. I would hardly have known who she was if my friends hadn’t told me that she and her father, Alexander Dugin, were included on the Myrotvorets website, and everyone knew their details. Of course, you don’t have to listen to me, because I’m a child. But for the third year I have been trying to reach out to all world leaders and organizations. All this time I hear jokes that it’s honorable and great to be in the database of this site. But yesterday there was another murder. It’s not for me to figure out who is to blame for this and how it happened. Now I’m just really sorry for Daria’s parents.

Roger Waters: War, Peace, Art and Activism

Aug 18, 2022 Pink Floyd cofounder Roger Waters joins David Swanson, Executive Director of World Beyond War and historian Todd Pierce in a rousing discussion of current events including the proxy war in Ukraine, the case of Julian Assange, Palestine, the media, and the role of art and music in activism.

The 78 year old music icon, Waters is currently on a tour that he has dubbed the “This Is Not A Drill” tour which he says is intended to be part of a “global movement” driving home themes of war, poverty and injustice. The concerts are tantamount to a series of spectacular political rallies with tabling from Vets For Peace and other social justice groups. Originally scheduled just prior to the US presidential elections in 2020, the tour was postponed due to the pandemic. In a video announcing the tour, Waters said “This tour will be part of a global movement by people who are concerned by others to affect the change that is necessary. That’s why we’re going on the road.” His passion comes through loud and clear in this discussion. Roger Waters co-founded the progressive rock band Pink Floyd in 1965 which he played with until 1985 after which he embarked on a solo career releasing several more albums. Roger is one of the highest grossing performers of all time.

David Swanson is an American anti-war activist, blogger and prolific author. He is the Executive Director of World Beyond War which he cofounded with long time anti war tax organizer, David Hartsough.

Major Todd Pierce (Retired) was with the U.S. Army Judge Advocate General Corp and his job was to defend three of the detainees at Guantanamo Bay. He is a military historian and activist.

Who Really Detonated the Car Bomb That Killed Darya Dugina?

Who Really Detonated the Car Bomb That Killed Darya Dugina, Putin’s Brain’s Child? (Archived)

Darya Dugina, the 29-year-old daughter of Alexander Dugin, often called “Putin’s Brain,” died when the car she was traveling in Saturday evening exploded. Sources have said a remote-controlled device was used to detonate a device affixed to the car’s frame and that it had likely been intended for the father, who changed cars at the last minute as the two traveled to Moscow from a cultural festival they attended together. Alexander Dugin was instead in a car behind his daughter when her car blew up, witnessing the devastating explosion.

On Monday, a former Russian Duma member—the only one to vote against the annexation of Crimea, which landed him an expulsion—instead claimed that the National Republican Army of Russian partisans were behind the attack. Ilya Ponomarev, who lives in Kyiv after being expelled from Russia, said in a broadcast on Telegram that anti-Putin forces were behind it.

The bombing comes just days before Ukraine’s national independence day on Aug. 24. Ukraine President Volodymr Zelensky warned Sunday evening that Russia might do something “particularly ugly” in the leadup to the day.

Seems like the National Republican Army is either made up or recently started. Yesterday, I searched for it, on Wikipedia, and the National Republican Party of the Italian Social Republic only came up. Today, Wikipedia has a Russian one, with the headline that it’s slated to be deleted. The Italian one now links to the Russian one, as well. If it was just started, it seems like it may be associated with Alexei Navalny, who’s been accused of being a CIA/MI6 asset. I’ll try to look into Ilya Ponomarev, later.
