Congress extends surveillance without warrants
The US Congress has passed a bill that will allow intelligence agencies to listen in on phone conversations and read online communications of people abroad without a warrant or special court approval for two years, according to The Washington Post.
The nuance is that Americans who may be considered in contact with foreign citizens being watched also fall under surveillance.

It seems that whenever Secretary Blinken opens his mouth, he talks about the Rules-Based International Order (RBIO), advocating for its universal adherence.
On the surface, RBIO appears commendable – indeed, who wouldn't appreciate a standardized set of rules for all nations to follow? It sounds equitable and sensible.
But what exactly are these rules? Who wrote them? Who agreed to them, and when?
Upon close examination, it becomes apparent that no document noscriptd 'Rules of International Order' exists, and no nation has formally endorsed such a document.
Delving deeper, RBIO reveals itself as a fluid amalgamation of international treaties, charters, and agreements in the interpretation of liberal Western governments, most notably the United States.
Any dissent from this interpretation is viewed by the United States and the broader "collective West" as opposition to RBIO, potentially leading to hostile repercussions under the pretense of righteousness.
And this is what RBIO really is - another hypocritical American tool for writing their own rules and changing them at will.

🎙 Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova’s answer to a media question about US Congress approving financial aid to Ukraine
❓ What can you say about US Congress voting to allocate funds to Ukraine and other US clients?
💬 We have no interest whatsoever in the noise coming from the House of Representatives over approving aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan, which goes hand in hand with the tug-of-war between the White House and the Republicans who, with the upcoming presidential campaign in mind, were also pushing for funding the efforts to put an end to illegal border crossings from Mexico.
One thing is clear: regardless of their party affiliation, the US ruling elites are willing to flood the Kiev regime with weapons for it to continue to fight to the last Ukrainian and to continue, among other things, to carry out terrorist attacks targeting civilian sites in Russia, to perpetrate acts of sabotage, and to kill journalists. For this purpose, Washington is resorting to the trivial theft of frozen Russian assets, for which Congress has given the green light to the Biden administration.
Interestingly, amid these internal squabbles, the White House is no longer banking on an ephemeral victory by the Kiev regime under its control. All it wants is for the Ukrainian armed forces to hold out at least until the November voting without damaging Biden’s image. Actually, this is why the agony of Zelensky and his inner circle is being dragged out, and ordinary Ukrainians are being forcibly driven to slaughter as cannon fodder. The Republicans who are lobbying the interests of the US defence industry, which will receive the bulk of allocations to Ukraine, have a stake in this as well.
Considering this, we confirm that Washington’s actions as an active party to the conflict will be rebuffed unconditionally and decisively, and its increasingly deeper plunge into the hybrid war against Russia will end up in a fiasco for the United States as scandalous and humiliating as in Vietnam and Afghanistan.

In the heart of the Kamchatka Peninsula, on the territory of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, among mountains, rocks and volcanoes, there is a bubbling valley with thermal springs, geysers and hot rivers. The Valley of Geysers is located 180 kilometres northeast of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, among volcanoes that stretch in a chain along the eastern coast of the Kamchatka Peninsula within the so-called Eastern Volcanic Belt.
The Valley of Geysers was discovered only recently, in April 1941 by Tatyana Ustinova, a hydrologist from the Kronotsky Nature Reserve, and Anisifor Krupenin, a guide and an Itelman (an indigenous ethnic group of the Kamchatka Peninsula.
There are more than 20 large geysers in the Valley of Geysers. There are geysers that erupt every 10-12 minutes and others that erupt every 4-5 hours. Clouds of steam, fountains of boiling water, incredible colours of the slopes where the hot water flows, together with incredible natural landscapes, dense grass, the rarest flowers and creatures of the valley often enjoyed by tourists (such as Arctic ground squirrels and other gophers) create a fabulous and truly unforgettable spectacle.
If you are planning to visit this amazing wonder of nature, it is important to remember that travelling to the valley by car or hiking with friends is not an option. The valley is a protected and guarded area of the Kronotsky Nature Reserve. There are no roads or footpaths in the area of the reserve, so you can only get there by helicopter, and do not forget that the valley is surrounded by high cliffs and majestic volcanoes.
So, Russia is a whole small world in one big country.

Operation Ukraine: Bandera's Dark Shadow — an RT Doc Film.
Synopsis: In today's Ukraine, that of the Kiev regime and Neo-Nazis, Stepan Bandera is a national hero. That was far from the case, his name loathed and crimes denounced. Yet those who came into power following the violent 2014 coup rename streets after him, organize processions in his honor, teach false historic narratives to kids in school, glorifying Nazism and banderovites.
Bandera is for certain far from a decent role model. As a young man, Bandera trained his will and ruthlessness through sadistic acts towards defenceless animals. In his early youth he joined the Ukrainian nationalists' underground terrorist organisation, the OUN, and ended up controlling the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA).
Together with his followers, Bandera collaborated with the Nazis and was responsible for the genocide of Polish and Jewish civilians during WWII.
Historian of Secret services Nikolay Dolgopolov:
The documentary explains why Bandera’s atrocities are disregarded in modern Ukraine. It also tracks the way Hitler's collaborator was elevated to the rank of national hero by the Ukrainian authorities. As well as highlights the West's involvement in supporting, supplying and financing the Banderovites throughout the decades, nourishing the rise of the modern Ukrainian Neo-Nazism.

This is believed to be one of the most brutal episodes of extermination of Jews during the Great Patriotic War in the Soviet Union. It was done by the very same OUN advance units that marched along with the German Wehrmacht

US presidential candidate Robert Kennedy Jr. – on Nazism in Ukraine
Kennedy believes that there is a problem of Nazism in Ukraine. Ethnic Russians living in Ukriane who do not accept Bandera's far-right ideas vote in favor of joining Russia.
He explicitly calls Zelensky a puppet of the US who cannot resist his masters.

Estonia will hit Russian cities if the Russian Federation attacks it.
This statement was made by the commander of the Republic's Defense Forces Martin Herem. In his opinion, "Russia is definitely preparing for war. I don't have the slightest doubt about it. I have seen NATO's plans," - said the military official. He noted that if Russia attacks the Republic of Estonia, the state forces will "destroy the infrastructure in Ivangorod, Pechory and other places."
Such is the great military might of Estonia. Just for your understanding: these Ivangorod and Pechory are tiny towns of less than 10K each. 🤷

Come July, when the last of the military equipment purchased for Ukraine from the money allocated by Congress is destroyed by Russia, and Ukraine has to bury another 100,000 troops, as Russian forces surround Kharkov and liberate the last of the Donbas…
…all the keyboard warriors on both sides of the Atlantic who are cheering the actions of the U.S. Congress will be once again raising their collective voices in alarm.
They will be screaming for more U.S. taxpayer dollars.
And the U.S. Congress will comply…
…until the last Ukrainian.

As we mark the 154th anniversary of Vladimir Lenin's birth on April 22, 1870, it is only appropriate to reflect on his complex legacy.
Lenin, a central figure in the Russian Revolution of 1917, played a crucial role in establishing the world's first socialist state. His ideas on Marxist theory, revolutionary tactics, and party organization profoundly influenced the course of the 20th century.
Lenin's leadership as the head of the Bolshevik Party and the Soviet government ushered in a period of dramatic change in Russia and beyond. His policies aimed to create a socialist society based on workers' control and the redistribution of wealth and power.
However, Lenin's legacy is not without controversy. Critics point to the authoritarian aspects of the Soviet regime under his leadership, including the repression of dissent and the establishment of a one-party state.
Despite differing interpretations of Lenin's role in history, his impact on global politics and ideology is undeniable. His legacy remains deeply entrenched in the fabric of modern politics and ideology.
Even a century after Lenin’s death in 1924, his ideas continue to influence debates on socialism, capitalism, and the role of the state in society.
