Under the article, published today, 8th February, 2022, titled ‘Revisiting Russia’s 5th and, especially, 6th column (Updated)’
Dmitry Orlov is also commenting, pretty dismissively of Ivashov’s statement, which Andrei is analysing. Dmitry doesn’t believe it’s significant at all; just another Western propaganda scam. My comment (currently awaiting inspection by Andrei’s in-house censors, of course; we’ll see whether it gets published):
SELFQUOTE:
Glad to see you so emphatic about objective facts, Andrei, as antidotes to ‘ideological drunken-ness’. I look forward to seeing you cure your own problem of precisely that sort, regarding the pseudopandemic, and the utter disaster of the West’s poison-stab not-vaccines, killing and maiming victims by the scores of thousands, with all adverse effects now over ten million. (Masses of objective facts available to justify that description, if you can just manage to bring yourself to look at them: VAERS in the US, the Yellow Card system in Britain, and Eudravigilance in the EU admit to these figures already; and admit also that they are certainly gross underestimates of the true totals. It’s also becoming widely admitted by now that the true Infection Fatality Rate of the covid pathogen - whatever it really is - is a small fraction of one percent, rather like a somewhat worse-than-usual Winter flu season; some ‘pandemic’!)
It would be a good idea too to treat your extensive analysis of Colonel-General Ivashov’s - alleged - statement (which he himself admits he didn’t write, just signed) as a striking instance of your own psychological projection.
As I’ve said before, I regard your blog as one of the best on the internet, and I check in to read the new posts every day. I also regard you as a man of strong honour and courage, who strives to do what he considers to be right. I’m confident that when you see that you’ve made an error, you have what it takes to admit that publicly. None of my comments above make any difference to my underlying admiration of what you do, and the excellence with which you do it.
But we ALL have our blind-spots/hot-buttons, which on occasion make fools of us ALL. I still cringe to think of some of my own past idiocies in this respect. I suggest, affably and with great respect, Andrei, that you examine your irrational acceptance of the pseudopandemic propaganda-storm. Putting it as Oliver Cromwell put it in his appeal to the Scots army before the battle of Dunbar: “I beseech ye, in the bowels of Christ, to think that ye may be mistaken!”
The Scots wouldn’t, and got the tar beaten out of them.
