Thank you for sharing your struggles, Scott! It is appalling what is happening to any real journalism in every vassalized country these days. Europe is now fully hardened into going to war on Russia, as per Jeffrey Sachs' recent statements, they have closed their minds to reason. It is no longer "Russophobia" - they do not "fear" Russia (but may learn that soon enough) - they HATE Russia and wish it gone. Therefore, security concerns of a nations which shouldn't exist are meaningless. But here's the truth - there is NO pathway between HATE and Peace, none whatsoever. Europe is so conquered by their hate that their minds are sealed, they cannot get to dialogue from there. The path to peace runs through dialogue and diplomacy, which entails Respect, not hate, and trust, which is unavailable to people who persist in lies. I hope for safety of all people at the SPIEF, in face of potential drone strikes by the Banderite regime.

You're courageous Scott, and we admire you for it. I hope your travels go well - watch your back - if the Ukrainians did indeed reach your friend and get him into jail, they might try a 'revenge' on you. But I'm sure you've already considered that. Have fun, make an impact and don't try to match your hosts shot for shot (Vodka, I mean) - they're difficult to beat!

Funny! But a bit of a stereotype.

Beer is at least catching up to vodka as the most popular "adult beverage" in the Russian Federation - and they make a lot of their own! (Look it up! :) )

I've not been to Russia for a while, but not so long ago, beer was treated like a soft drink...at breakfast or to whether the appetite.

Thank you Scott for all that you do, I may not always 100% agree with you, but all that you do is valuable, and thought-provoking, and there is no way I doubt your honesty and integrity, and I appreciate you very much for it.

I hope your trip goes very well, and that all your goals are achieved, and wish you a very pleasant trip, and time in Russia.

I note that Trump is introducing a new (well updated) compensation scheme for those who have been targeted by Federal agencies for political and illegal reasons. I understand that this has opposition, but is due to be settled by the 12th of June 2026. If this passes, as it should, being that it is merely an update to an already existing provision, it may behove you to look into getting compensation for what the Feds did to you, under Biden, at the behest of Kiev. Nothing ventured, nothing gained as the saying goes.

Good luck on your Russian trip, and may a great many more good hearts be swayed to truth, and peace, by your words, and deeds.

Safe travels, Scott; we look forward to your trip reports.

Dr. King reminded us that the arc of history bends toward justice. It also bends toward truth, and the truth about what was done to you, as well as the entire Ukraine story, will come out.

If the people persecuting Scott, and de facto in charge of the FBI and the USSD, are Ukrainians, I am the Pope of Persia.

They are Jews, period, with at least an 87% degree of probability, as 87% of the Junta in Kiev are Jews and were installed by roughly the same percentage of Jews who have controlled the State Department since Madeline Albright (born Finkelstein).

An interesting side note: About 87% of the Bolshevik Party which was massacring Christian and Muslim Russians between 1917 and the year 2000, was Jewish. The "Eternal Jews" indeed.

We are with you Scott!

Wow are we ever with you, this mind of travel and sharing is precisely what is needed to correct the flood of disinformation created by the EU and the USA. Best of luck, may your broad shoulders carry all the truth needed to stop the madddddness threatening peace and sanity today.

Love you "Scottie" ..as Napolitano calls you now..

Subscribed because I want to help buy you a tailored suit and stop you from wearing the schlubsuit you wore to the Victory Day reception a few weeks ago...where's that Marine body bunkered?

Will you write about the 2027 NDAA amendment that directs tighter integration between US and Israeli military forces?

Scott, You've got to get that damn mission accomplished. I've been wanting find a way to have conversations with the average Russian for a very long time, now. This is ridiculous that it cannot be done. I am beyond disappointed.

If you've got any direction to help me in this endeavor (I cannot trave overseas, since I have no passport) But there is nowhere to go anyway except for Russia and that is unaffordable.

I know there are a few Russians who comment on substack articles all the time. Maybe look at Simplicius' stack and check it out.

Thank you, I'll do that.

Psalm 46:1-10. The Passion Translation by Dr Brian Simmonds.

God, you’re such a safe and powerful place to find refuge! You’re a proven help in time of trouble— more than enough and always available whenever I need you.

So we will NEVER FEAR even if every structure of support were to crumble away. We will NOT FEAR even when the earth quakes and shakes, moving mountains and casting them into the sea. For the raging roar of stormy winds and crashing waves cannot erode our faith in you.

God has a constantly flowing river whose sparkling streams bring JOY and DELIGHT to his people. His river flows right through the city of God Most High {{New Covenant Heavenly City of Jerusalem = Body of Christ = born again by the Spirit Jews & All-Nations who as living stones are the corporate Temple of Holy Spirit}} into his holy dwelling places. God is in the MIDST of his city, secure and never shaken. {{= Revelation 21 & Hebrews 12:22-29}}

At daybreak his help will be seen with the appearing of the dawn. When the NATIONS ARE IN AN UPROAR with their TOTTERING KINGDOMS, God simply raises his voice, and the earth begins to disintegrate before him. Here he comes! The Commander! The mighty Lord of Angel Armies is on our side!

Everyone look! Come and see the breathtaking wonders of our God. For he brings both RUIN and REVIVAL. He’s the one who makes conflicts end throughout the earth, breaking and BURNING EVERY WEAPON OF WAR!!!!!!!!

Surrender your anxiety. BE STILL and REALIZE THAT I AM GOD! I AM GOD ABOVE ALL THE NATIONS. I am exalted throughout the whole earth."

Psalm 18:1-3. The Passion Translation by Dr. Brian Simmonds.

I love you, YAHWEH, and I’m bonded to you, my strength!

YAHWEH, you’re the bedrock beneath my feet, my faith-fortress, my wonderful deliverer, my God, my rock of rescue where none can reach me. You’re the shield around me, the mighty power that saves me, and my high place.

All I need to do is to call on you, YAHWEH, the praiseworthy God. When I do, I’m safe and sound in you— delivered from my foes!
