Boris Nemtsov is dead, murdered by Vladimir Putin. Oh, yes, Putin did it all right. Everything he has instituted since being in office has been geared towards Nemtsov’s death. The death of a sane Russia. The institution of madness. The incorporation of fear. Putin is scripting from Adolph Hitler’s book, Mein Kampf. Murder and betrayal, […]
So this is what it has come to. There is a new world waiting to be opened up, and you and I are the protagonists of this world. Whether it is brought into the light of the sun and moon and stars is up to us. This is a time to forego thoughts of a […]
