... after subjugation by the EU comes the joys of NATO membership, presumably as in Finland and Sweden, without referendum.

In the other autonomous region of Moldova Gagauzia, the vote was reportedly 95% against joining the EU. The region despite its constitutional rights has been subject to the usual strong arm lawfare but has threatened to declare independence if the Moldovan or other military enter the province.

There are apparently an unbelievable 10,000 NGOs in Moldova busy with their usual three Bs on behalf of the West, bullying, blackmail and bribery.

Officially Russia only has 1,400 peacekeepers in Transnistria available to defend it, if attacked, apart from local reservists. No doubt Russia has emergency plans to intervene if the ineffable West goes too far -- apart from the obvious easy intervention by missile barrage. The bombardment of the docks just inside Ukraine on the Rumanian border was a warning.

Whilst Moscow, with its hands full already, has sought to calm troubled waters there is no way Putin could just watch the West crush the separatist areas. Interestingly in Odessa there seem to be stirrings of resistance, despite a Gestapo like police suppression.

EU is a corrupt criminal socialist warmongering dictatorship They interfere in free elections and are behind voter fraud. They have promised to pay them 2 billion $ if they vote yes to EU. They do exactly the same they have done in Ukraine and we all know the result of that. EU is financial broke but they spend billions of taxpayers money on wars corruption and bribery Von Leyen is corrupt and criminal and should be in prison She’s not elected but selected by the corrupt establishment The only hope is that EU soon will collapse

So there’s claims of fraud coming from both sides. Maybe have a re run?

That would make the most sense if everything else was equal, but the West has predominant influence over Moldova, and the incumbent authorities won't do anything that questions their legitimacy like holding another round no matter how much people might protest.

what's needed is a voting machine wholly owned and used by the people:

This is still not the way because it still belongs to govt. not the people and is still used only every few years -

but shows it could be done right NOW

Ah, my old friend. :) Happens I was just thinking about you as I watched this:

Yep, that's professional video, alright! Nothing like my amateur efforts, of course.

I am in the process of finishing off my latest efforts to make a new post (for tomorrow). I hope you may find them interesting.

I'm also in the process of getting around to delving into your sites. (They're open in other tabs waiting to be read properly.) Looking forward to getting back to you in due course.

I will find them interesting, I am sure. That video may well be very professional but if so that's not what appealed to me, I think. I like it because it has those subtitles, english and russian and clear to read and the spoken (sung) audio clear to hear and a slow piece... plenty of time for me to look and listen, think, etc...

And the only other source I know of for similar is your own output. That's what put me in mind of yourself. :)

I honestly don't think there's much to be gained by reading my output. It was always mainly for my own benefit as a sort of archive of my current thought is all.

And it is never very profound or well researched or based on vast experience or deep knowledge and nor is it ever well reasoned or anything like that...

It's kinda just the almost, but not quite 'private' chatterings of a bloke. Is all.

My honest advice would be don't bother with it. There's so much happening today and so many sources to consult... or at least avenues to explore, isn't there? And not enough time in one short life....

So short of time I find I have no time to read material I download specifically to read. So I end up with, have now, a fairly large library of ebooks virtually none of which I have read and am now in the habit of viewing as a sort of 'library in waiting' for when I reach some point in my life that I've finally got nothing else, nothing better, nothing more urgent, than to read from it.

Just got one today.... fascinated by an interview with him on Australia's 'Late Night Live' radio show I had to get 'Palestine Laboratory' by Anthony Loewenstein. The chances are very great I'll never read it.

"...the only other source I know of for similar is your own output."

That's wonderful! I'm so glad to hear that. Yes, it would seem you are the most — indeed ONLY, as far as I'm aware — reciprocal viewer of my work. Well, that's not quite true. Mike Hampton, who has gone away now, having sent an e-mail to excuse himself, used to try to demonstrate interest; and there have been a couple of 'likes' on the site and a sentence or two (but no more) to say my work is good... You're the first person to ever state what you think is good about it: "... those subtitles, english and russian and clear to read and the spoken (sung) audio clear to hear...". I like that. Thank you! I think you're going to like tomorrow's post, and that makes everything I've done to produce it well worthwhile.

"I honestly don't think there's much to be gained by reading my output. It was always mainly for my own benefit as a sort of archive of my current thought is all."

You do prod some interesting issues, often in an unusual manner, which makes it worth the time spent reading it.

"... mainly for my own benefit as a sort of archive of my current thought is all."

Pretty much the same as mine, then; but, nonetheless, gratifying to learn there is someone else on the planet who thinks I might not have wasted my time here.

"My honest advice would be don't bother with it."

Well, I have had a look, and there were a couple of points I would have commented on but got stymied by "Leave a Reply|You must be logged in to post a comment." I do have an account with 'WordPress' but couldn't work out how sign in (on your page).

"... have now, a fairly large library of ebooks virtually none of which I have read..."

More than just you and I, I believe everyone with access to the internet is in the same position. Somewhere on your site I noticed you recognised John Helmer's work. I bought two of his books from Amazon — the one about the Scripal poisonings, and the other I can't even remember which one — which I've opened but not read. The internet, particularly now and increasingly, is just choc-a-bloc with free stuff like that. I watch people flicking away at their smartphones on public transport and understand if any information requires any more than a minute or two in clip on YouTube, or something like that, it will never be read. Effectively, technology has robbed us of literacy, or even any interest in anything outside of the world within our pockets.

Surely by now, you know that "free and fair election" is one tbat the western puppet wins, by whatever means.

The difference is that, when they lose, the West doesn't sit on hits hands. They organize a Color Revolution or whatever.

The results do seem eerily similar to American ones. The grift must be flowing well in Moldova.

"...Von der Leyen’s de facto $2 billion bribe ..."

It can't end well, can it; like Yanukovich (who was wiser) and the Ukraine?

After serving its purpose, Moldova would be rewarded by being absorbed into Romania.
