Tucker Carlson interviews Alexander Dugin
For years the Western press has been spewing the nonsense that philosopher Alexander Dugin is “Putin’s brain.”
For years the Western press has been spewing the nonsense that philosopher Alexander Dugin is “Putin’s brain.”
This fable was concocted for the simple purpose of smearing Putin. Ever since Putin’s earth-shattering speech before the Munich Security Council, I have been trying to read every word that Putin has said in public. I did this in part as Russian language practice, but eventually, I found that Putin was the only national leader in the world who was consistently saying things about Russia and the West that made sense. I also read Putin’s autobio, actually an interview he gave to some Russian journos.
But the reason I bring this up is that I have in fact read much of what Vladimir Putin has said about the issues that confront us today, especially geopolitical ones, and I have never read anything Putin has said about Alexander Dugin, who, as far as I know, has never had any noticeable influence on Putin’s political or philosophical thinking. Dugin is not on Putin’s radar.
The reason for this utter lie about Dugin being “Putin’s brain” is that the US Neocon elites have devised a hoax around Dugin starting with the narrative that he is an “ultranationalist,” based on his idea of a Eurasian identity. Dugin’s ideas about Eurasianism were misconstrued as a desire for Russia to take over all of Eurasia, and this was further perverted into the idea that Russia should use its military to seize all of this territory. This Western narrative was not remotely associated with anything that Dugin said or wrote. It was propaganda. Further, it had nothing to do with Putin.
I recently viewed a video interview of Jeffrey Sachs on a show hosted by the exquisitely clownish Piers Morgan.
The intellectually challenged Piers, who is a mouthpiece for the US-led Empire, kept interrupting Jeffrey’s brilliant words about Russia-US relations with the annoying and irrelevant question: “But can’t you think of anything -- anything – negative to say about Putin?”
Jeffrey just kept smiling and seemed to change the subject, which I found unsettling.
Personally, if Piers had asked ME, I’d have said:
Asking me that question is like asking any Christian if he can say something negative about Jesus. Or asking someone, in an interview about that person’s family, whether they had anything negative to say about their daughter. It would be rude and insolent, wouldn’t it?
Well, Piers, not trying to shock you or make you feel bad, but I feel about Putin the way Christians do about Jesus. I love him and respect him and I trust him eventually to resolve the problems that affect Russia and the world. So I am going to ask you not to ask me to smear him because that would be hurtful and disrespectful to me.
As for Putin’s “brain,” the fact is, Putin does have a favorite philosopher and it isn’t Dugin. It’s Ivan Ilyin, who died 70 years ago.
Putin quotes him a lot in public speeches.
The Putin we think we “know” is a caricature of a person who doesn’t exist – he’s a product of the overheated fantasy of the Satanists in Washington.

Here’s your air strike update for April 30, 2024
April 30, 2024
The Russian army launched a massive attack on the Ukrainian military rear
Several powerful explosions occurred in Kharkov. What exactly was the target is not reported, but there are many industrial enterprises in the city that are used for the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
As for the situation at the front, as the Ministry of Defense reported, our units have improved their position along the entire line of combat contact. There is a gradual advance near Ocheretino and Novobakhmutovka - intense battles are taking place there, the enemy is trying to regain lost positions, throwing reserves into battle [this usually means heavy casualties for Ukraine] using Western equipment. Here alone, three Bradley infantry fighting vehicles, a Paladin self-propelled gun and many artillery pieces were destroyed.
The enemy is suffering huge losses. Within 24 hours, about 800 militants were killed. Operational-tactical aviation, missile forces and artillery blew up a hangar for assembling attack drones, as well as two army warehouses. Six American ATACMS missiles were shot down by air defense systems.

The Russian Armed Forces hit a hangar for assembling Ukrainian drones
Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation: Russian military hit a hangar for assembling attack drones of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Russian military hit a hangar for the assembly of light-engine attack unmanned aircraft of the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU). The Russian Ministry of Defense reported this on Telegram.
In addition to the hangar for assembling drones, the Russian military attacked two warehouses with military-technical equipment of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Also, attacks were carried out on Ukrainian military equipment and manpower in 108 regions, the department specified.
To achieve this, the Russian army used operational-tactical aviation, missile forces and artillery.
The Russian Ministry of Defense also named the number of American-made missiles shot down per day. According to the department, Russian air defense systems shot down six ATACMS operational-tactical missiles transferred to Ukraine by the United States. It also became known about the work of Russian air defense systems against two French Hammer guided bombs.

STRIKES ON ODESSA ON APRIL 30: WHERE THE EXPLOSIONS OCCURRED, WHAT THE DRONES TARGETED, EXTENT OF THE DAMAGE
Russia launched a missile attack on Odessa: 5 people were killed, one died due to a stroke caused by the attack, 32 people were injured. According to the head of the Odessa Police Department, there are 25 wounded in city hospitals, among them 2 children and 1 pregnant woman. Mourning for the dead was declared in Odessa.
In Odessa, as a result of a missile interception, the building of the students' palace of the Odessa Law Academy was partially burned down. [This was the result of an air defense interception, NOT of the Russian munition]
The moment of the attack on Odessa by a missile with cluster munitions was published by the Office of the Prosecutor General.
“These are indiscriminate weapons, the use of which can cause significant civilian casualties. Metal fragments and fragments of the rocket were recovered within a radius of 1.5 km from the site of the attack,” the department notes.
During the strike on targets in Odessa, the palace of students of the Odessa Law Academy, which is also known as “Harry Potter’s Castle,” was hit.
Previously, the building was hit by an intercepted missile or other destructive elements: despite the fact that initially the damage was minor, a fire broke out on the roof. As a result, the object was almost completely burned out from the inside.
The strike killed several people and injured more than twenty.

RE: the proliferation of antisemitic rhetoric
When some Zionist calls me an “anti-Semite” for advocating for freedom, justice and equal rights of the indigenous people of Palestine, I am reminded of this name used by other supremacists during the struggle in the USA for freedom, justice and equal rights for the US citizens of African ancestry:

Chinese “expert” who has never studied military affairs just “knows” Russia will lose in Ukraine
If you want to predict the outcome of a war as an expert, you had better have the proper academic preparation in military affairs. Feng Yujun has no such preparation. Why China allowed this amateur to publish an opinion on a subject outside his area of expertise is hard to imagine.
Born in 1970, Feng graduated from Hebei University, Jilin University, and China Foreign Affairs University respectively, with a bachelor's degree in history, a master's degree in history, and a doctor's degree in law.
By contrast, Andrey Martyanov is a scholar in MILITARY AFFAIRS with 2 higher degrees from a Soviet university. Linked below is a longish article on Martyanov that every Westerner needs to read in order to understand the Ukraine war, what is REALLY happening.
Martyanov constantly criticizes “experts” who pretend to know something about war but whose academic degrees have nothing to do with military affairs.
This is the whole problem with the Western media in a nutshell.
I personally do not claim expertise on war, but I have taken the time and effort to chronicle all the daily Russian air strikes on Ukraine since Oct 10, 2022 when Russia adopted its policy of conducting daily (nightly) strikes on military-related infrastructure in Ukraine. I am therefore aware of the massive damage to strategic infrastructure and to military personnel, including NATO mercenaries in Ukraine, caused by Russian air strikes. I again remind the reader that the missile and drone strikes have cost Russia almost nothing in terms of lives and materiel while these strikes plus the battles at the front have led to a severe decimation of the Ukrainian population and record losses of materiel, including the majority of the ammunition and equipment sent by the West.
Under these circumstances, no country anywhere on earth has ever won a war against an adversary with nearly unlimited materiel and personnel. Let alone the economically weakened West, with near-zero economic growth in Europe thanks to intentional de-industrialization.
It is amazing that the West can deliberately debilitate Europe (with anti-Russian energy sanctions plus the Biden team’s destruction of Nord Stream that deprived Germany of vital cheap Russian pipelined gas).

Western leaders seem to think Putin needs a "brain" because none of them appear to have one, or if they do it is diseased. Interesting about Ilyin; I didn't know that.
I, too, have tried to catch any/all of Putin's speeches, over the years. The MAN is HIGHLY intelligent, and doesn't need 'anyones brain'! And I DO love Putin's speeches, because he TELLS THE TRUTH! I have yet to catch this man in a lie.
If a Zionist wants to play Word Games.....DO play along!
Firstly, call them WHAT THEY ACTUALLY ARE...... KHAZARIAN! And Khazarians are NOT JEWS; and therefore, CANNOT be Semite! Then go on to remind the Satanist, that ARABS are, in FACT, SEMITES, along with REAL Jews! Which, if the Satanist is following along, with the Word Game, makes the Khazarian (Zionist) the ACTUAL ANTI-SEMITE!! The Khazarian (aka 'Israeli') State has NOTHING to do with REAL Jews.
