The Tangent College
Hello Colleagues,
Rather uncharacteristic for me, I would direct you to this Stew Peter’s video “Zelenskyy Wants U.S. Troops SLAUGHTERED In Ukraine:” in which he is quite on fire concerning the US instigated an unnecessary war in Ukraine. He is rather over the top and he could benefit by drinking perhaps less coffee but nonetheless he hits all the correct points in a machine gun like fashion. It is worth a watch. I too am fed up with the mountain of lies concerning this war. And I like how he explains that Ukraine is a fake country.
Here is my very brief take, which I have not expressed previously, as the many pieces come together:
When the Soviet Union slowly imploded during and after Ronald Reagan, there were many corrupt oligarchs who began raping Russia as is often the case in a crumbling empire. It is human nature as they greedily grab anything they can for themselves. It was a land of corruption and many of the oligarchs took their wealth to other countries and yes indeed to neighboring Ukraine. With it they also brought their corruption for which Ukraine is legendary. This happened in most of the countries controlled under the former USSR.
Putin, former KGB, was also very powerful and yet I believe he was a true Russian at heart and loved his country and hated to see it being raped of its wealth by unscrupulous and corrupt oligarchs as it crumbled. The ruthlessness and even his reported “murders” was him cleaning up and trying to save his country in the only way he knew how. He was cleaning out corruption and that is never a pretty or an easy assignment; and every one hates you for doing it – just ask Abraham Lincoln. If you thought Lincoln was a tyrant you would really hate Vladimir Putin. But unlike Lincoln, who was assassinated before he could begin to rebuild and reunite the southern states, or Trump who could not tolerate being hated or stumbling over himself, Putin was able to secure his power and build back Russia into a far more moral and yes even more Christian country. He is even promoting Christian values (see Santa Putin) unlike the LGBTQ loving Western countries. Gone now is the atheism of the USSR replaced by Russian orthodoxy and other returning religious freedoms. The oligarchs who fled and/or were arrested began demonizing him while most of Russia came to respect him and indeed love their country again to some degree.
But Putin’s clear nationalism is anathema to the globalist agenda. And so, like Trump, he had to be taken out and demonized together with Trump. There are of course many other aspects to this war that go way back and need to be pointed out but this is a crucial element. It is these corrupt oligarchs that fled to the West and to Ukraine who hate, propagandize and make war against Russia which spewed them out.
This is just one more aspect in which we live in an Empire of Lies.
Here is a post by Seth Hancock “Ukrainian woman demands Oligarch Zelenskyy ‘kneel down… and ask forgiveness from every mother from whom you took a son’” which is an unfiltered look at the filth and corruption that is the Zelenskyy and Ukraine. After watching these videos do you still think we are supporting the good guys?
And we still haven’t gotten into Hunter Biden or bio weapons labs in Ukraine. But Putin is beginning to uncover and expose these facts as well.

Great news! And yet disappointing news!…
I have finished my song which is a rewrite of the Country Joe and the Fish song from Woodstock entitled “What Are We Fighting for?” Now I just need to record it and post it so you all can listen to it. I must get that done this week. Yes sir-re I must. It will be the anthem of the new antiwar movement. Be forewarned it is highly satirical and is guaranteed to offend the religious or political sensibilities of some. – But delightful witty nonetheless.
But until that time comes, until next week, as always, follow the path of righteousness, try to get the church to talk about something other than how much God loves us, seek wisdom, and stay far from the camp of the Covidites.
