A RUSSIAN STORY

 

Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report.  Today is Friday, March 2, 2018, and on today's report I have a Russian story for you, and that means it's going to be gloomy and sad because, as Dostoevsky said about Russians, "only through suffering can we find ourselves."  Russia is all about suffering and probably always has been.

This story involves a young man named Roman Filipov, age 34, and a Major in the Russian Air Force.   Major Filipov was a fighter pilot assigned to the Russian mission in Syria.  On February 2 of this year, he was flight leader of two SU-25 fighter jets on a reconnaissance mission over Syria.  The Russian military referred to his mission as "observation" but the Americans would call it "reconnaissance". Regardless of whether or not he was assigned to drop bombs, attack targets, or just observe, a mission in hostile territory is still combat and still dangerous.

Major Filipov's wing-man reported to him that a man-portable anti-aircraft missile, known to the military as a "man-pad", was tracking him and was inbound.  "Yes", he said, "I see it", but he was unable to avoid it and the missile struck his right wing, also damaging part of the left.  Unable keep the airplane in the air he directed his wing-man to radio search-and-rescue that he was bailing out.  He successfully ejected and his parachute opened as it was supposed to but unfortunately, he landed behind enemy lines, and that is where our story really begins.

The American people are currently in the midst of what is, I think, their third Russia scare.  Russia is being accused by a cabal of American globalists, of interfering in the recent U.S. elections in order to benefit one candidate or another.  I have always had a grudging respect for the Russian people and for Russia itself.  For one thing, the American politicians who hate Russia, and who tend to blame Russia for most of the problems that agitate the world, especially the ones caused by their losing an election or other problems of their own making, are the most despicable people in the United States.  I usually look favorably on anything and anyone despised by my enemies, so I tend to look favorably on Russia.

The current Russia scare seems to be about global geopolitics.  The globalists have an agenda     and apparently Vladimir Putin is not down with their cause.  Putin continues to throw monkey wrenches into the globalist machinery and they continue to ratchet up the propaganda against him.  Apparently Donald Trump is not down with the globalist cause either.  I had hoped that he would be able to end the 70-year-long cold war with Russia, and perhaps reach some accommodation, but that would not fit with the globalist agenda.  The globalists need an enemy and it seems that Russia is the designated one.

Donald Trump seems to prefer neutrality with the Russians, I suppose on the theory that you can make  more economic prosperity in peaceful cooperation than with constant antagonism.  It would be so much easier for President Trump if he just cooperated with the globalists, but he has been unwilling to do that and thus he faces threats of impeachment due to Russian involvement in his election.  These constant threats and the, "we're going to get him one way or another rhetoric", are just an effort to force his subservience to their agenda and bend him to their will.  It is also evidence of their total disregard for the will of the American people and the concept of free elections and peaceful transition of power.

Day after day we are told of a new Trump-Russia scandal that threatens to bring down the President but invariably it turns out to be false.  Often these Trump-Russia scandals are mixed together with the,
