In reply to gallier2.

I found an article praising Ondo Ossa on the BRICS news portal.

To something completely different.
There’s an ongoing putsch in Gabon. Ali Bongo has fled the country to Morocco. There were presidential elections last week and most polls showed the runner up (Albert Ondo Ossa) as victorious. Bongo nonetheless proclaimed victory which triggered the military to annul the election result, to shut down completely the gouvernment. The Internet and phone lines had been suspended last week (by Bongo). It has been re-established. Afaict (and afamwct (as far as my wife can tell) she just was awake whole night in contact with family) no violence occured yet. I have no idea what France plans to do, as Gabon was the last colony that seemed part of the “Françafrique” network.
People in Gabon are fed up by 60 years of Bongo family reign. I have no idea, who is behind the putschists though (color revolution? brics? no idea). If I manage to find something I will inform you.
PS: my mail is a scoop, European media are still stuck on the “Bongo won the election” and only slowly start to mention the military coup.

It is best to pay scant attention to the latest spin of our own press
‘influencers’ and to evaluate closely the opinions of the vast majority of humans ( i.e. – the Global South ).
The truth is hard to find amidst the cackle of circling hyenas.

Yes, it seems that Russophobia in the West has erected an iron curtain around Russia that precludes any rational exchange of information. Logical surmise has no place in this atmosphere of distrust.
The story of Prigozhin’s survival, escape and resurrection has deep roots in the bowels of Russian history. Such fantasies are the cornerstone of hero worship, continued resistance and wish fulfillment.

Mark: I was thinking about the futility in Russia attempting to establish any sort of truth narrative or to counter the western narrative on the Prigozhin plane crash/death or non death.
I can’t even imagine how this could be accomplished in such a toxic media environment-
Just sharing thoughts
