A video clip from the late Russian dissident, Alexei Navalny, condemning the war in Ukraine while in prison and calling on Russians to continually oppose it. The title says, Navalny on the criminal war in Ukraine.

In it, while quoting Tolstoy, Navalny made the important point that despots need war. And war fuels and maintains despotism. Fabricating a "national enemy" and "foreign threats" is a well-worn tactic of dictators, used to distract and fool the population and justify maintaining authoritarian control.

The answer to why Putin launched his full-scale invasion of Ukraine two years ago is simple: to preserve his dictatorship. His convoluted excuses about Russia's historical claims (which have no legal validity once Ukraine has declared independence), Western threats from NATO, and his deliberate exaggeration of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, were all concocted to mask this central reason.

Therefore Russia is being bankrupted both financially and morally in order to keep Putin in power. As Zelenskyy correctly said, 'Putin doesn't care who dies, as long as he retains his position.'

Foreign wars also provide dictators with a cover for continuing and enhancing their terrorist deeds at home. Both Alexei Navalny and Boris Nemtsov were murdered in the middle of a Russian war; Nemtsov, during the time that Russia was sending mercenaries into eastern Ukraine to stir up provocation and steal more territory.

Two years into Russia's illegal war against Ukraine, the world must ensure that Putin's delusions of impunity come to an end. He and his terrorist regime have violated all morality, and they have been allowed to get away with it for too long. How many times have foreign powers promised punishment against the Russian terror state, and delivered nothing?

Every failure to punish Putin and his regime enables him to continue fortifying his terrorist state, from murdering political dissidents, to stealing more and more Ukrainian territory. Avdiivka has now fallen to Russian occupiers, and the amount of Ukrainian territory stolen by Russia totals between 16-18%. Once such territory has been stolen, it is then filled with munitions and booby traps, which explains why the Ukrainian counter-offensive last year failed. The plain truth is that it is and will be extremely difficult to reverse Russian occupation.

Punishment of Putin's regime, which should be maintained regardless of what happens in Ukraine, is the key to restoring peace and security abroad, as well as holding him accountable for all of his domestic crimes. Total non-recognition of Putin as a "leader", multiple cases against Russia in international courts, a permanent international arrest warrant on Putin (irrespective of whether Ukrainian children are recovered from Russia or not), and enhanced sanctions that last beyond the war are desperately needed now to isolate and undermine the Kremlin.

STOP THE WAR!

February 4th 1593 saw the death of Robert Stewart, the despotic 1st Earl of Orkney and Lord of Zetland.

Where would we be without the Stewarts?  The various branches created as much havoc as the royalty that  ruled Scotland for generations.

Robert Stewart had a reputation for tyranny, land grabbing and - it is said - forcing islanders into slave labour to build him a palace.

Robert Stewart, 1st Earl of Orkney and Lord of Zetland (Shetland) died on February 4 1593. He left behind a rather dark reputation which was later inherited by his son, Patrick.

Robert was the illegitimate son of James V of Scotland and his mistress Euphemia Elphinstone. He grew up with the great privileges and power carved up by the Stewart royals and was an enthusiastic supporter of his half-sister, Mary Queen of Scots, who granted him the Royal lands of Orkney and Shetland in 1564, she never was a good judge of character was she!

It has been claimed that Robert pressured the Bishop, who conducted the marriage of Mary Queen of Scotland to the Earl of Bothwell in 1567, into the land swap and then forced local people into building the Earl's Palace at Birsay on his behalf.

But still, Robert Stewart was not an Earl.

According to accounts, in 1570 Bishop Bothwell and others from Orkney claimed that his tactics were akin to tyranny.

In Shetland, Robert appointed his half brother Laurence Bruce - whose mother was also Euphemia Elphinstone - as Sheriff to run his regime as Sheriff.

Based on Unst, it is said he led a campaign of piracy on passing ships and doctored the system of weights and measures to boost income for the Earldom.

Complaints about Bruce led to his removal from post by a Royal Commission in 1577 although he was back the next year after being appointed by Robert as "Sheriff-Depute".

Robert was imprisoned in Edinburgh in 1575 on grounds of treason by the Regent for James VI after it emerged he offered Orkney to the King of Denmark. He was then indicted in Edinburgh the following year for misuse of power in Orkney and Shetland, but the trial never happened.

According to the Stewart Society, Mary wrote her will at Sheffield in 1577 declaring his title to Orkney null and void.

Following her death in 1587, Robert started to woo her successor and his nephew, James VI, with the King finally making him Earl of Orkney, Lord of Shetland and Knight of Birsay, in 1581.

Islanders were horrified and Robert's new titles were quickly troubled when the King launched investigations into a number of land grabs across Scotland, not least in the islands in the north.

Land was seized and returned to its original owners with attempt to remove Robert from Orkney. However - with the support of a force of men - he resisted and remained on the islands, where he died on February 4th, 1593.

His son, Patrick, took control of the Earldom but was later imprisoned for financial irregularities and allegations over his treatment of islanders. His illegitimate son was sent to raise a rebellion in Orkney o his behalf and was later hanged, along with 16 others who took part in the rising ordered by his father.

Earl Patrick was also sentenced to death following a trial. According to accounts, his execution was postponed after chaplains pleaded to educate him and give him Communion before death, such was his ignorance.

Patrick was beheaded at the Mercat Cross in Edinburgh in 1615.

Trump's Insurrection Day

I disagree with the popular idea that despot Trump sat watching TV for three hours and failed to respond to the Jan. 6 insurrection he incited. Trump didn’t fail to respond, he just didn’t respond as “president,” which he never truly was*. The insurrection is EVERYTHING to Trump to this day, and he was not going to simply watch it fall apart. It was the goal for his massive #TheBigLie which…
