Matt the Rat still refuses to make predictions or even satirical images about his beloved Governor-General, thus apparently he likes taking George's Hurley's and Albanese's three filthy dicks in his circular A-hole too much to satirize, charge, or even convict them of their blatant crimes.
I wonder why there is no assassination market for Putin given the war in Ukraine? I would imagine that getting Putin assassinated would be one of the quickest ways to end the war. On Tue, 4 Apr 2023, professor rat wrote:

Simple, the TOP-SECRET US Govt hasn't decided to run it yet, despite US Govt being one its biggest theorists (PAM, FutureMAP, etc). US Govt prefers to run plain old murder bounties and proxy mischief as it has done many of times in its recent history. They seem to prefer that, plausibly more control, than deploying Assassination Politics idea, which everyone would then see and co-opt out from under Govt and then humanity use it to secure its freedom from Govt and everything else at the top.

True, yet an end would depend on if any elements of Putin's major pre-war speech continued to resonate after he was gone, or didn't evolve into new rationales. They could be afraid of Medvedev. Including losing admin grip on nuclear hotheads and rogues. They did miss Dugin and killed his daughter by mistake. They did kill Vladlen Tatarsky. Putin did send some of his circle off to Siberia. Maybe some babushka will whack him with a kitchen knife for sending her son off to die in Ukraine.
Wouldn't surprise me at all if someone whos loved ones were killed decided to stab him. I read in todays newspaper that one senior officer who defected said that he is getting increasingly paranoid. Doesn't fly much anymore, but travels only in his armored train. Also does not use internet but lets his close circle inform him. Add to that frequent late night shifts. Seems to me that he will start to wear himself out, and make worse and worse decisions the longer this continues. THe pressure from the west, the war, and internally seems to be getting to him slowly but surely. The question is... will Trump win the election and end the US support for Ukraine? If so, I bet europe will soon stop the support as well, and then Putin could win. On Wed, 5 Apr 2023, grarpamp wrote:

The "anti-war" US Republicans are maybe somewhat good for their word as campaigning on that up against the Neocons, MIC, and Deep State types is election risk, at least up until Biden-Dems put the final nails in the US coffin since 2020 thus perhaps forcing the types to change game. Paranoids and Ragers tend to push big red buttons. Whether West or East, in the end it's still a brutally oppressive Govt over everyone's heads, worldwide. Cypherpunks claimed to have roughly three solutions to that problem.
