Shaman had some good news for fans at a recent concert in Sochi.
SHAMAN узнал о том, что он удостоен звания заслуженного артиста, выступая на концерте в Сочи.
«Сейчас вы станете свидетелями одного очень значимого и важного момента в моей жизни. Только что, когда я заходил за кулисы, президент России Владимир Путин присвоил мне звание заслуженного артиста РФ», — сказал он.
-or-
SHAMAN learned that he was awarded the title of Honored Artist, speaking at a concert in Sochi.
« Now you will witness one very significant and important moment in my life. Just when I went behind the scenes, Russian President Vladimir Putin awarded me the title of Honored Artist of the Russian Federation », — he said.
A few weeks ago, YouTube kicked Shaman’s account away because he’s Russian and YT shills for the GAE deep state. In retaliation, on Friday, the singer hosted a concert outside the GAE embassy in Moscow. Read deeper in that linked article, and their tongue-in-cheek claiming Shaman so drove fake president Brandon to drop out of the fake election. Maybe he needs more honor in the remains of America.
America is a free, independent, and democratic country. And it is strong. On this special July 4th, to show how strong, independent, free, gay, and democratic the GAE is, they ordered Youtube to block Shaman. Nothing, and I mean nothing, says “free and independent” or “we’re winning” like banning a popular entertainer.
Автор и исполнитель песен Ярослав Дронов, выступающий под псевдонимом SHAMAN, рассказал, что его TouTube-канал заблокировали. Об этом он сообщил в своем Telegram-канале.
«Мой YouTube-канал заблокировали, потому что Я — РУССКИЙ», — написал исполнитель.
Ранее стало известно, что SHAMAN попал под новые санкции Европейского союза, так как поддерживает действия российских властей, которые, по мнению коллективного Запада, якобы «подрывают территориальную целостность и суверенитет Украины».
Кроме того, в конце июня песни Ярослава исчезли из стримингового сервиса Spotify. Сам он отреагировал на это строчкой из своей песни. Он написал в своем Telegram-канале, что Запад наложил на него ограничения, «потому что он — русский».
-that is-
Songwriter Yaroslav Dronov, speaking under the pseudonym SHAMAN, said that his TouTube channel was blocked. He reported this on his Telegram channel.
« My YouTube channel was blocked because I’m RUSSIAN », — wrote the performer.
Earlier it became known that SHAMAN came under the new sanctions of the European Union, as he supports the actions of the Russian authorities, which, according to the collective West, supposedly « undermine the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Ukraine ».
In addition, at the end of June, the songs of Yaroslava disappeared from the Spotify streaming service. He himself reacted to this with a line from his song. He wrote on his Telegram channel that the West imposed restrictions on him, « because he is — Russian ».
Based on how well all the other sanctions have worked, Shaman will soon be ten times as popular. Keep track of his videos at RUtube: https://rutube.ru/u/shaman/videos/.
Here is a very short list of some of the news, thought, and analysis sites I read on a regular basis. I stopped with twenty-one of them, representing about a quarter of those I frequent. The reader may be familiar with some of them and others less so. If one fails to find one’s pet source on the list, then at least one already knows about that source. There are no Western mainstream corporate sources included. With America destroyed, there is little reason to put much practical emphasis on American political, economic, or social analysis. I trust the reader is familiar with the Drudge Report, the New York Times, the Daily Mail, RT, Der Spiegel, and similar popular sites which at times may or may not be accurate or useful. I also suggest that the reader is likely comfortable with, and more knowledgeable than me about, local news sources of all kinds where the reader lives.
Several of the following are written in languages other than English. A few contain built-in multilingual versions; the same source sometimes runs different news features for different demographics. As such, and as I doubt anyone is fluent in all the languages, I highly recommend the auto-translation feature in better browsers or the translation services available from Yandex or Google. My experience is that using these services is at least “good enough”. I roughly grouped the following by subject or geographic area. More than a few of these forums also host video shows which may be of interest. Have fun with it.
News and Commentary
Vox Populi. If I only had one place to check for daily commentary, it would be Vox’s blog.
Reminiscence of the Future. Andrei Martyanov understands military affairs, geopolitics, economics, and more.
Strategic Culture. Multipolar-leaning international analysis and news.
The Duran. Anti-clown world insight from two of the best guys out there.
Sonar21. Larry Johnson is honest, affable, and knows clandestine affairs like no one else.
Scott Ritter. Ritter does give Johnson a run for his money.
Geopolitika. Professor Dugin and Leonid Savin weekly contribute to the site they run so well, providing a forum for voices that need to be heard.
Sight. Also in-depth, especially concerning the Russian economy.
Middle East
AlJazeera. AJ is the go-to for coverage of the Levant. Outside the Middle East, however, they often take on a rather faux-Western quality.
China
Global Times. OMG! CCP apologists! Damn good ones too. World affairs from the Oriental perspective.
CGTV. Literally Chinese State media. One has to kind of work into how the Chinese think and present things. Once one does, it all begins to make sense.
Reseau International. No holds barred reporting on France, Europe, and the world.
With all of the foregoing, please click around and explore. Many of these sites are simply overloaded with facts and resources and they link to many more sites of similar high quality.
Bonus Music Minute:
Shaman answered the Crocus City Hall attack with “РЕКВИЕМ” (“REQUIEM”), a defiant patriotic Christian memorial call. It’s signature Shaman, very good, and this video has English subtitles:
Greetings, melody lovers. Today, we will enjoy a bit of an extended Music Minute. Let’s call it the Musical Half-Hour Funtime Festival and Other Words. You’re in luck, as my original intention was to facilitate some form of socioeconomic comparison. Before that, I’d briefly thought about educating a chipmunk as to the workings of a carburetor (of course, instead of listening, the little joker kept crawling into the throttle valve!).
Moving along! As for today’s musical links, Mr. Charles Munk and I are working with Ewetube, Yandex, and Goolag to create some sort of auto-translation service so one might read a “foreign” language in one’s native tongue with a degree of reliability. It’s amazing no one thought of this before. If we are successful, say on Ewetube, look for the feature within the little cogwheel symbol next to the “CC” on every video. We’re working hard for you, and Lil’ Chip is pulling overtime.
About two months ago, I suggested Americans might benefit from a “Shaman.” The reception was rather positive though I note we are no closer now than we were then. Rather than someone proudly, defiantly proclaiming who we are and where we’re going, we were given the Lunsford treatment, a Clown approved, UTA-repped, and obviously pre-manufactured singing of diversionary lyrics about our problems. And only the problems, skewed narrative-right, and without any hint of a solution.
However, in Russia, Yaroslav Yuryevich Dronov, aka, “Shaman,” is still doing what he does best – celebrating all things Russian. I’m going to dissect parts of a recent concert. First, here’s a recent AiF interview with the man. (Cog. Wheel.) Fifteen years of hard, organic work is not the same as instant, AI-propelled “success.” And a nation is a collection of similar people, not a collection of assorted heads-down basketcases. Also, here’s Shaman singing “Государственный гимн Российской Федерации,” the “State Anthem of the Russian Federation,” at another recent concert. Imagine the most popular of ‘Murican pop singers, whoever that is, singing “God Save the South” or the “Star Spangled Banner” for and with 70,000 enthusiastic young American teens and twenty-somethings. I had trouble with visualization too. Do we even have that many young Americans anymore?
Now I’m going to focus on two parts and three songs from Shaman’s March 13, 2023 concert in Krasnogorsk, Greater Moscow. Russia’s got talent. (I tried to target the following parts using the “&t=” format, but something would not allow it. For reference, here’s the FULL CONCERT. Skip along as follows, please.) Around timestamp 23:29, he goes among the crowd for a few minutes letting random men, women, and children sing. That was pretty cool, but not as cool as the following consecutive trio of patriotic tunes.
At 55:15 he launches “Встанем” (“Let’s Rise” or “Let’s Stand Up”). This is a song about communion with Russian men who fell defending the Fatherland. While Shaman sings, a dancer in military attire performs a physical interpretation. Select translated lyrics:
Let’s Rise.
While we are still with you, we are alive and the truth is behind us.
There’s someone looking at us from above with their own eyes.
They smiled like children and walked into the sky.
Let’s rise,
And we will become closer to them.
Let’s rise.
As long as the Lord is with us and the truth is with us,
We will say thank you for giving us the victory,
For those who have found their heaven and are no longer with us.
…
Let’s rise.
And our eternal memory beats stronger in our chest, between us.
Let’s rise.
The heroes of Russia will remain in our hearts,
Until the end.
…
This is a huge part of the living Russian spirit. Under God’s Grace, they not only honor and remember their heroes and their past, but they actively incorporate their traditions into their modern existence.
Immediately following “Встанем,” around 1:01:00 he proceeds into his new and very popular “Я русский” (I’m Russian”). I covered the meaning of those lyrics previously. In short, it is a defiant rallying cry for proud living people. Here one may truly contrast the uplifting celebratory nature of Shaman to the intentional down-in-the-dumps moaning of Lunsford. After the early 1990s, a host of “rich men” settled north of Tula. Rather than selling souls only to complain about “shit” Rubles and tax-based junk food, the Russians unceremoniously ejected the “rich men” from Russia. Now they’re ejecting them from Europe.
After “Я русский” comes another rendition of the “Государственный гимн,” at 1:05:28. The English-translated beginning verses:
Russia is our sacred state,
Russia is our beloved country.
A mighty will, great glory,
Your dignity for all time!
Be glorified, our free Fatherland,
The age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorified, country! We are proud of you!
…
Here again, we see a common Russian theme: the melding of ancient tradition with the living present and the ardent determination to continue living into the future. Russia is scared in the genuine sense, the Orthodox Christian meaning of the word, and not the freemasonic m-m-muh first ‘mendment meaning. The Russians love Russia to the point of dying and killing to preserve her. Great glory, of the kind God intends for the nations He created and which we are assured will endure even in Heaven. Dignity for all time — not just the marginalized, mythologized past. A free patriarchy in place of an enlightened boarding house. The union is not just of political states, but of kindred people — a nation. The wisdom of the past is carried by the current generations. Pride, not in one’s own selfish interest, but in Russia’s ordained part of The Plan.
Americans, Southerners particularly, should and could have something like this. Will they? I think not, at least, not for the foreseeable future. This gets into postwar Remnant territory and is thus highly speculative. We still lack a few necessary things. But very refreshingly, we appear to be making slow headway. I am pleased to present this:
Joyous Sidenote! I just learned that Padraig Martin’s group is planning to place a series of billboards along major Southern thoroughfares in high GAE military recruitment areas with this simple and 100% honest message:
“Joining the US Armed Forces is the Gayest thing you can do!”
One can look it up if one needs to. In brief: The GAE AF is the largest lgbtP employer in the world; it puts sodomites in leadership positions; it hosts fag queen story hours and fag shows at imperial military bases; it covers up regular sexual abuse atrocities committed by its wicked members against men, women, and children (and probably animals); it pays for tranny sex changes; it makes it a crime to refuse to date trannys; it flies sodomite “pride” flags at imperial embassies worldwide; it names naval vessels after child rapists; from the barracks to Congress, it openly practices satanism; it is the only military that ever dropped an atomic bomb on a church (and in general), and; like sodomy, it exudes hatred of God and His creation: it is the most destructive force on earth. God’s wrath is rightly crashing down upon it. Elsewhere, members of the (Ramzan) Kadyrov family are physically beating down those who blaspheme against Islam — the way our knights used to disabuse degenerates in the West. Christians today can at least speak the Truth to our wicked, blasphemous powers. Martin’s message is in line with what I mean by never serving the enemy. Furthermore, it’s a good rhetorical poke in the eye. GAE = gay, so stay away.
We need much more, but at least we still have a little fight in us. And we always have that critical element that goes without saying. Still,
Words. Boy, did I have some for you. I scripted this article out with an intro which I decided to scrap for reasons. Those sharp literary blades are still in the hopper if needed. Instead, today I give you the following musical comparison, which should essentially make most of my original points in a less rhetorically-taxing fashion. It’s music, so it should be fun. Rather, I hope the first tune depresses and/or enrages you. The second is very upbeat and uplifting. It is my high hope that something causes the all-too-real message of the first to give way to the joy and empowerment of the second. Let’s get this underway, shall we?
The first song is an English translation of a French-Canadian ditty that someone forwarded to me. To the extent possible, please enjoy “Dégénérations” as performed by David Mathewes:
Well now, your great great grandmum, she had fourteen kids to raise.
And then your great grandmum nearly followed in her ways.
Then your grandmother had three and decided to prevent.
And your mom had just the one – and she was an accident.
As for you, little girl, a different partner every night.
And if anything goes wrong, you go to town and put it right.
But in the silent morning, you can almost hear the sound
Of a big kitchen table, all the children gathered round.
This tune is wonderfully melodious yet very depressing. It’s depressing because what it describes is real and true. This is the short story of the collapse of generations and a people. Our people. Almost the entirety of post-modern life is dedicated to whittling us down from large, happy families to sitting alone in boxes. All of it is and was a malicious set of lies, a purposeful plan to reduce us to nothing. And even today, if one listens, the liars and fools repeat the mantras of ease, freedom, and pleasure, all of which end up looking like misery, slavery, and death.
Deep in the lyrics, the subject young man is encouraged to “fight the temptation to commit armed robbery” as he grapples with his hopeless existence. Given the mass gravity of the situation, and given that it is the product of a war against our people, I suggest that the temptation might rightly drift towards a more lethal crime. I also suggest if well-directed, yielding to such temptation might be more of a necessity than a crime.
As aside to our wicked enemies: When, if ever, it comes, know that you earned it.
Just as the enemy keeps pouring gasoline on our raging national inferno, so too do so many of us still pretend we’re living in a bygone era where the lies still appear at least somewhat plausible. I have my year and you likely have yours. If any Americans want to step out of 1982, 1859, or 1054 and enter the current year with an eye for survival, then we have to do a little better in recapturing our lapsed spirit and sense of identity. Other societies not so dissimilar from our own offer glimpses of what that might look like. Scott Ritter visited Russia this year and came home telling and bragging about the palpable presence of the Russian identity. Russia is still run by and for Russians. Therefore, the whole of Russian culture acts as a perpetual promotion of the Russian nation. Our road is harder, as America is run by and for satanists who actively hate, suppress, and exterminate the American nation. Our fight will be ours largely alone. Still, we may find fun in the fighting, especially if we dare do things like regain the lost popular culture. Here comes the fun song!
Until the other day, I had never heard of Russian pop-rock singer Yaroslav Dronov by his given name. I had heard, very briefly here and there, of his extremely popular stage persona, Shaman. Heretofore, I had stupidly written him off as the Russian Justin Bieber. He’s not and I made a mistake. Correcting my mistake has proven somewhat pleasant and a little addictive. Please watch this recent live performance of Shaman’s “I Am RUSSIAN” and/or read the translated English lyrics below:
English lyrics mechanically translated via Yandex, with micro-tinkering by Perrin:
I breathe in this air.
The sun in the sky is looking at me.
A free wind is flying over me.
It’s the same as me.
And I just want to love and breathe.
And I don’t need anything else.
The way it is, and you can’t break me.
And all because,
I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.
I am Russian, my blood is from my father, heh-heh.
I am Russian, and I am lucky.
I am Russian, to spite the whole world.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am Russian!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
This song flies into Heaven,
And He calls me with Him.
And my heart is burning in me,
Lighting the way home.
Where you just want to love and breathe,
And I don’t need anything else.
That’s the way I am, and you can’t break me.
And all because,
I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.
I am Russian, my blood is from my father, heh-heh.
I am Russian, and I am lucky.
I am Russian, to spite the whole world.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I am Russian!
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
I’m Russian, I’m going to the end.
I am Russian, my blood is from my father.
I am Russian, and I am lucky.
I am Russian, to spite the whole world.
I am Russian.
Musical tastes, of course, vary. I suspect for many that tune is one of the rare, catchy types that do not require an exact understanding of the words. It’s also somewhat of a testament to the lingering multi-lingual effects of all that is the Indo-European philologic tradition, because one can if one tries, detect certain similarities (e.g., “я русский”, sung “J’ah” or “Ya” “Rooskie” comes almost cleanly across the mind as what it is, “I’m Russian”). When the words are understood, they are powerful! The song is a short defense and celebration of what it means to be a proud living Russian. To a lesser contemporary extent, it is also a hard slap right in the face to the anti-Russian forces of Clown World. “[t]o spite the whole world” means to spite those who would enslave and destroy Russia.
Notice anything about the video? Specifically about the crowd? That’s what young Russia looks like. That is the demographic composition of about 90% of the whole Federation, and closer to 99% of the population west of the Urals in the “European” Republics and Oblasts. Compare that, if one dares, to wherever one lives in the former United States. Then, keep the comparison going.
American boys and girls, at an alarming rate, don’t even know whether they’re boys or girls. Many of their idiot elders won’t tell them for fear of being called bad names. I doubt anyone in Shaman’s audience has that problem. Young Americans are told to hate their people, their history, and themselves. Young Americans are told their country was founded on the (fake) “sins” of racism, slavery, and White supremacy. Young Americans, a vanishing breed, are told to be homosexual deviants, to never have children, and to kill any children that do come along. Young Americans are essentially enslaved, early in life, to various classes of people, large and small, weak and powerful, who hate them. Young Americans will be saddled with onerous usurious fake debt before taking on more fake usurious debt. They will work for less than Depression-era wages. They will not own homes. They will not get married, or have children.
Young Russians like the ones in the video are born into an ancient culture still willing and able to violently defend itself. They will emerge into that culture free and clear to navigate. They will find plentiful jobs in the booming west of the country, and free land in the booming east. They will marry each other and produce future generations. Russian governments, industries, and institutions are run, again, by and for Russians. They promote the existence of their people. Russian women work to build families. Russian men kill to defend it all. Russia, uber alles, to spite the whole world if necessary. The one scenario is worth singing about.
Americans once had something like that. Something worth loving, living in, preserving, and defending. Political and physical control of that great space between Mexico and Canada has been lost (past tense) by Americans. The question now is whether enough of them want to preserve some remnant of what was lost. For my part, I think that’d be a fine idea, and about the only one worth entertaining. How about we do it? Let’s spite the whole world – especially our weak, demented, lecherous little overlords.
Third song! I’ll close out with a micro music minute. Think you know Rick Astley? Here’s his “Never Gonna Give You Up” as covered on a Casio electronic piano by Russia’s outstanding and lovely Gamazda (Alexandra Kuznetsova):
PERRIN LOVETT
