Dugin and Odds and Ends

In der news.

This is strange.

A car bomb near Moscow has killed the daughter of the ultra-nationalist Russian philosopher behind the Vladimir Putin’s aggressive expansionist strategies that propelled it to invade Ukraine.

Alexander Dugin may have been the intended target of the bomb that killed his daughter, Darya, as she was driving home from a festival outside Moscow where her father had just given a lecture.

Video showed Mr Dugan - known as “Putin’s brain” and even “Putin’s Rasputin” - holding his hands to his head in disbelief as he stood staring at the burning car. Eyewitnesses reported a large explosion and Russian officials said that 30-year-old Darya died instantly.

I suppose in this case Der Movement’s conspiracy theorizing has some merit.

Sallis correct again?

Going forward, I’ll be posting at EGI Notes less frequently. I’m busy with real world matters (after all, unlike your Fearless Leaders, I don’t live off of D’Nations) and I have no desire to post crap just for the sake of having something new put up (I’ll leave that for the Quota Queen grifters). Gab posting may decrease once Fall starts.  We’ll see how it all goes. My multiple health issues haven’t disappeared either; my decrepitude will only increase over time.

Reading books on the Roman Empire in Late Antiquity, I am struck by how much time and energy was wasted, particularly in the East but in the West as well, on moronic Christian squabbles between popes, bishops, and monks about arcane issues of religious doctrine. At a time when the Empire was threatened by Vandals, Goths, Huns, etc. emperors had to worry about dealing with feuds between rival Christian sects.

Christinsanity!

Another thing is that the decline and Fall of Rome can be explained by various historical, social, economic, and military factors without invoking "racial admixture." When in history has any empire lasted more than several hundred years at most?
