‘I don’t know what to do’ Taken to the Russian Far East, refugees from Mariupol were promised housing and jobs. They have yet to receive either. — Meduza (Me: kidnapped Ukrainians)

For three weeks, more than 300 refugees from Mariupol have been living in the town of Vrangel in Russia’s Far Eastern Primorsky Krai. During Russia’s weeks-long siege of Mariupol, which is now under occupation, many residents were unable to safely escape to territory controlled by Kyiv. Instead, some civilians seeking evacuation were forcibly deported to the Russian city of Taganrog. Upon arriving at the local train station, these refugees were talked into going to the country’s Far East, where they were promised free housing, reduced mortgage rates, relocation support, and jobs. As a result, some 300 refugees from Ukraine ended up in a small town on the shores of the Nakhodka Bay. In interviews with Meduza, refugees living in Vrangel recounted what has happened to them since arriving in Russia.

62 horas de atraco…

Que mirada del Profe. 

Aun peor que lo de Oslo.

Los rehenes si  se van a poner dificiles, y en aquel entonces, usan la empatîa y el amor del dinero para unirse los rehenes a los atracadores, convirtiendolos en socios…

 

Pero por que estan interrogando a los rehenes escapados sin la inspectora, si es su caso?

Y por fin aprendieron que Angel no es un traidor, que sus gafas si…

 

Al menos el Profe tiene conciencia, al ver el dano que hace a la inspectora y al Angel para ganar su dinero, le duele.

 

Y es verdad, cuando has aguantado tantos golpes, te cansas de seguir adelante

 

Y Berlin, manipulando a una mujer…

Let’s save the wildlife – Amur leopard (Panthera pardus orientalis)

Myrela

Amurski leopard je podvrsta leoparda koja potiče iz Primorja (jugoistočna Rusija) i sjeverne Kine. Naveden je kao kritično ugrožen na IUCN Crvenoj listi, jer je 2007. godine procijenjeno da je samo 19-26 divljih leoparda preživjelo. Smatra se jednom od najrjeđih mačaka u zemlji. Istraživanja sprovedena između 2014. i 2015. godine otkrila su 92 individue, duž rusko-kineske granice. U 2021. godini prijavljeno je da je populacija bila oko 110 jedinki.

The Real “Great Replacement” Already Happened

Filosofa's Word

I’ve got a sad story to tell those people who have tied themselves to the lie known as the “Great Replacement theory” … the replacement has already happened.  Oh no, not in the way you think … white people are still a relevant portion of the population in the United States, and unfortunately, they still largely hold the reins of power … white males do, at least.  But the replacement happened many years ago … let me tell you the story.


The story begins in the year 1492 when there were an estimated 10 million people living in an area of land that is now known as the United States.  A Spanish explorer named Cristoforo Colombo stumbled onto a land mass he mistakenly thought was the East Indies, and thus he described the natives he met as “Indians”.  On his first day, he ordered six natives to be seized as…

Le pain, la pomme et les poèmes #5

Courir écrire et crier

dans les grandes vides urbaines

les liens se font

de tous les jours et déjà

se défont

il ne tient

qu’à ta promesse

de rompre le pain

comme avant partager

son croustillant

dans les quotidiens

tout se sait tout se tait

la vie est fête

défaite

parfois

l’oiseau ramasse les miettes
