To the edge: Magadan (Eli from Russia)

(Eli from Russia) Nov. 8, 2025: Russia's region with darkest history: Magadan, Russian Far East


Welcome to the Mari El Republic of Russia. The Mari are Finno-Ugric people, one of the most ancient peoples of Central Russia. For centuries, the Mari have preserved their original pagan religion and, in this regard, they can be considered the last true pagans in Europe.

Nazis honor Nazis: Ukraine loses war

Craig Jardula (TJDS, 9/26/23); Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

How endless war keeps elites secure at home
Ukraine loves any country or cabal that provides it weapons, money, and tactical advantage
.
Nazis in Ukraine's gov't are a documented fact.
(The Jimmy Dore Show) Sept. 26, 2023: What’s critically important about a U.S. proxy-war like we are conducting in Ukraine is not that it promotes democracy (or women's rights, or LGBTQ+ rights, or human rights, or any other BS pretext).
  • Canada’s House speaker resigns after inviting Ukrainian Nazi who fought for Nazi unit
  • The speaker of Canada’s House of Commons has resigned after inviting a Ukrainian man who fought for a Nazi military unit during the WWII to Parliament to attend a speech by current Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky, who delivered an address in the House of Commons on Friday and applauded the Ukrainian Nazi. Canadian lawmakers gave 98-year-old Nazi Yaroslav Hunka a standing ovation when Speaker Anthony Rota drew attention to him. Mr. Rota introduced Mr. Hunka as a "war hero" who fought for the First Ukrainian [Nazi] Division. It later was publicized that the First Ukrainian Division was [a Nazi unit] also known as the Waffen-SS Galicia Division, or the SS 14th Waffen Division, a voluntary unit that was under the command of the [German] Nazis.
  • In Moscow, a Kremlin spokesman said it was “outrageous” that [Nazi] Hunka received a standing ovation. Russian Pres. Volodymyr Putin has painted his opponents in Ukraine as “neo-Nazis,” although Pres. Zelensky [who may not actually be] Jewish and lost relatives in the Holocaust. “It’s highly unfortunate and the only winner here is the Putin regime, which is already spinning what happened on Friday to justify its ongoing military actions in Ukraine,” said Prof. Daniel Beland, a political scientist at McGill University in Montreal. The opposition Conservatives in Canada have blamed PM Justin Trudeau... More

It's a fact. It's real US-backed Nazis
Nor does it “deter” an enemy or even that it enriches U.S. and Israeli defense contractors (capitalist munitions manufacturers), necessarily — it’s that this kind of war provides the public with something to focus their attention on and concern themselves with BESIDES the economic pillaging going on at home (the U.S.) by the Establishment and its elites.

Guest host Craig “Pasta” Jardula talks to writer John Leake about endless U.S. war as a necessary distraction once the COVID pandemic began failing to bring the military all it had hoped for and the gain of function research is back on course to create something better -- a bird flu, swine flu, bat flu, super-malaria-dengue fever-Ebola) winding down.

CNN, Cornel West's third party, vaxxed

Jimmy Dore, Kurt Metzger (TJDS); Pfc. Sandoval, Ashley Wells (eds.), Wisdom Quarterly

CNN melts down over Cornel West running third party
(The Jimmy Dore Show) July 23, 2023. Democratic Party Operative James Carville is VERY unhappy that Prof. Cornel West is running for the Green Party presidential nomination, as he tells CIA Operative Anderson Cooper.


Black Dr. West threatens to take votes away from Democrats (and Joey, Kamala, Hillary, Gavin...), just like Ralph Nader and Jill Stein are alleged to have done before him, Carville states without offering up any actual evidence of the claim.

He then redbaits, Russiagates, and misrepresents the Green Party’s actions in the 2016 election. Jimmy Dore and Americans’ Comedian Kurt Metzger talk to Revolutionary Blackout Network’s Nick Cruse about. #TheJimmyDoreShow

Death of Nobel: Bob Dylan wins lit prize

Dhr. Seven, Ashley Wells, Seth Auberon, Wisdom Quarterly; Alex Shepherd (The Republic)

WTH?! This is impossible!
Has the academy lost all credibility first with Obama now with Dylan?

"The times they are a changin'." Pulitzer Prize-winning Jewish-Christian folk-hippie troubadour/poet Bob Dylan (who allegedly chose his nom de plume after the famous poet Dylan Thomas, which he denies) has been voted the latest Nobel Laureate in "literature."

I love war. I never said I didn't, kids.
After voting Pres. B. S. [Barry Soetoro a.k.a. Barack Hussein] Obama a Nobel Peace Prized Laureate before he went on a killing rampage of conducting illegal drone assassinations (executions) by executive decree and expanding wars and Bush-era programs like mass surveillance and mass incarceration, the Swedish foundation has outdone itself. It has voted a peculiar folk/pop star Bob Dylan its latest laureate in literature.

This news comes from Sweden (where, sadly, they did not choose Woody Guthrie or Joni Mitchell who were more deserving). Dylan's archives were recently purchased and will be housed at the University of Tulsa.

He plays this weekend at Coachella's "Desert Trip." So potheads will be headed en masse to see a laureate perform his literature before an unusually big crowd. Elvis must feel cheated.
Bob Dylan [born Robert Zimmerman] wins the 2016 Nobel Prize in Literature
Alex Shepherd, The New Republic
What about Sanders? Did the Nobel Academy figure out Bernie was a sell out/fraud?
 
I have real audacity; I ain't givin' my medal back!
An American has won the Nobel Prize in Literature for the first time in 23 years.

But in a shocking decision, songwriter Bob Dylan -- not novelists Philip Roth, Don DeLillo, or Thomas Pynchon [or folk superstars Woody Guthrie or Joni Mitchell] -- won “for having created new poetic expressions within the great American song tradition.”

Dylan’s citation also compared him to [the Ancient Greek poet and author of the Odyssey and Iliad] Homer -- the Swedish Academy had to reach back 3,000 years to find a precedent.
 
Born [Jewish] Robert Zimmerman in 1941, Dylan was the enfant terrible of the New York City folk scene -- a impish trickster who annoyed (and stole from) many of his elders, particularly Dave Van Ronk and Pete Seger.

Dylan [who later converted to Christianity] first broke out in the early 1960s as a part of a growing movement of songwriters who were writing and performing topical material about the Civil Rights Movement and other current events.

Dylan has been labeled a “topical songwriter” since that period, but he spent only a short period writing songs like “When The Ship Comes In” and “The Times They Are A Changin’”... More

Miss Nepal beauty pageant to be held


Modern beauty queen butts up against adoration of traditional Living Goddess (AP).

KATHMANDU, (Xinhua) -- Nepal's most popular beauty pageant is getting ready to choose the first Miss Nepal since the Himalayan "kingdom" became a federal democratic republic last year. The Hidden Treasure, the event management company in Lalitpur, south of Nepal's capital Kathmandu, on Wednesday announced that it has begun accepting applications from Nepalese women who are over 18, are at least 5 feet 4 inches (or 162.5 cm) tall, and have completed high school to take part in the contest that will be held in September or October.

(WQ Editorial) While Nepal is predominantly Buddhist, with overwhelming influence from nearby Tibet, it has on paper been considered the world's only remaining Hindu Kingdom. A periodic, biased census ensures that, by the wishes of its dominant trading partner to the south.

It is a land-locked nation that has little choice but to acquiesce to the wishes of its overbearing neighbors. China, for example, sees to it that Tibetan activism is squashed and that revered monks are arrested (even as a Miss Tibet contest is held; see right). While Buddhism and free-market capitalism might be fine with beauty contests, Maoist communists are not.

The party wishes to institute traditional values and gender equality. Their methods may be severe, but the majority of people in Nepal would probably agree. Beauty pageants are a two-edged sword. They may give contestants a sense of empowerment while subverting gender equality. Such contests are not a feminist means of progress. And Nepal realizes this to some extent:

In Birgunj, some 90 km south of Kathmandu, the contest started getting popular in 1994 and spawned dozens of other beauty contests like Miss Teen, Miss Mongol, and even pageants for men. However, out of respect for Nepal's conservative society, Miss Nepal does not have a swim suit round.

The pageant ran into controversy in 2008 when the then Communist Party of Nepal (Maoist) (CPN-M), who had ended its 10-year armed revolt and signed a peace agreement with the government in 2006, returned to mainstream politics and its Women's Wing opposed the pageant.

"Miss Nepal widens the division between the haves and have-nots," said Amrita Thapa Magar, chief of the party's Women's Wing, last year, explaining why they were opposing the contest. "Only affluent women who can afford the cosmetics and wardrobes needed can take part." Magar also said the contest degraded women to "commodities" and "social inferiors" at a time when her party was trying to build a "new Nepal."

Last year, when the Maoist party headed the government, the strong opposition to Miss Nepal caused the pageant to be canceled. Now, with a new [pro-Chinese] government at the helm, the organizers are hoping that Miss Nepal can be held again.

Nepal: Maoists disrupt, protest


Mt. Kangchenjunga, part of the Yaksha Kingdom (Yeti, ogres), Nepal

Gopal Sharma from Kathmandu (Reuters)
Nepal's Maoists disrupted parliament on Friday and threatened to launch street rallies to protest against the government's failure to resolve a fight triggered by the firing of the army chief, officials said. The Maoists waged a decade-long civil war until a 2006 peace deal brought them to the mainstream. They scored a surprise victory in last year's election and formed the nation's first government after the abolition of the 239-year-old monarchy.

But in May their leader Prachanda resigned as prime minister after President Ram Baran Yadav rejected his decision to fire army chief General Rookmangud Katawal, saying he had refused to take orders from the civilian government. The Maoists say Yadav's move was "unconstitutional" and are demanding that it be debated in the parliament, which the government has so far refused.

On Friday, senior Maoist leader Narayan Kaji Shrestha, said his party, which dominates the parliament, will launch street protests from next week to press for their demand, stoking fresh political turmoil in the nascent Himalayan republic. More>>
