🇷🇺 THE DURAN UPDATE ON THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY

"a couple of years ago, five or six years ago the Russian economy, the priority for the Russian government was sorting out the banking Financial system. Creating a strong financial system within Russia. Remember in the 1990s Russia had no real financial institutions, [they had] phoney institutions, they were fake institutions. They didn't function like proper Banks do. So the government spent a huge amount of time sorting out Banks, sorting out the financial system. They spent a huge amount of time rebuilding living standards, creating a functioning consumer Market [and] sorting out services. What they're now doing, the focus that they have at the moment is on industrialization and on industrial expansion, and this is not the primary focus and we see investment as I said in Industry surging, and this I think is going to be the future now. We're going to see industrial expansion probably for the next couple of years and alongside that, what goes with that, which will be Capital controls and this period when the ruble was freely convertible is, I think, coming to an end and I think people need to understand that. So that makes the way in which the Russian economy is going to be run from now, at this point on, it's going to make it more like China and indeed India then it has been previously."

Only Trust Yourself | All Governments Lie and The Media Too | Alexander Mercouris from The Duran

youtube

It's my pleasure to talk to Alexander Mercouris ( @AlexMercouris ) from the Duran Youtube Channel: @TheDuran . In this first segment we talk about his work at his channels, how he does his research, and what kind of news he trusts. Spoiler alert: reasonable people vet every piece of information, trust nothing, and think for themselves.

Duran Duran - The Chauffeur 1982

Rio is the second studio album by English band Duran Duran, released in 1982. A new wave album with musical elements such as dance and synth-pop, Rio is mostly composed of fast, upbeat numbers, with a couple slower synthesiser-based ballads. The cover artwork, painted by Patrick Nagel and designed by Malcolm Garrett to resemble 1950s cigar packaging, is considered one of the greatest of all time.

Duran Duran shot music videos for many of the album's tracks, all of which helped spearhead the 1980s MTV revolution. Accompanied by three worldwide hit singles, Rio peaked at number 2 in the UK and remained in the chart for 110 weeks. Initially unsuccessful in the US, the album was remixed by Capitol Records to better match American radio at the time; the remixed album spent 129 weeks on the Billboard chart, reaching number 6.

Rio initially received mixed-to-negative reviews from critics, who commended the melodies but disparaged the lyrics. Retrospective reviewers consider Rio timeless and the band's best work, praising its instrumentation and band performances. With the album, Duran Duran were forerunners in the Second British Invasion of the 1980s, helping ensure the success of other English artists throughout the decade, and along with Culture Club and Spandau Ballet created a teen frenzy similar to Beatlemania during the first British Invasion of the 60s. Rio has since made appearances on best-of lists and has been reissued several times.

"The Chauffeur" was created on the spot in the studio. During downtime, Nick Rhodes retreated to an auxiliary studio room with Blauel, their tape operator, and crafted a track using keyboards, synthesisers, the sound of an ice cube cracking and a conversation about nature for extra effects. Simon Le Bon accompanied him with lyrics he'd originally written as poetry in 1978, and adding a melody on an ocarina. The final track features no contributions from the three other band members. An acoustic version (Blue Silver) was recorded without Rhodes, which appeared as a B-side to "Rio". The keyboardist later quipped, "I guess that was my punishment for have created an entirely electronic track."

"The Chauffeur" received a total of 64,6% yes votes! Previous Duran Duran polls: #21 "The Wild Boys".

The Duran on how the Neocon Establishment is turning on Joe and Hunter Biden.

Will Biden really make it to re-election?

It's an open question at this point as Republicans begin impeachment proceedings and Hunter Biden is indicted on Federal Felony Firearms charges.

Hunter Biden was indicted on three criminal counts of Possession of a Firearm by an Unlawful Drug User. He requested to appear at his first Court appearance by video call but was denied by Judge Christopher Burke, a Magistrate Judge for the United States District Court for the District of Delaware in Wilmington.

US/NATO Maniacs Killed The Post-Cold War Peace On Purpose | Alexander Mercouris from The Duran

youtube

This is the second segment of the interview with Alexander Mercouris ( @AlexMercouris ) from @TheDuran . We talk about how and why NATO elites decided to kill the Post-Cold War peace in Europe that had set in after 1989. The poisonous idea that the US had "won" the Cold War completely distorted all decision-making, leading to some of the worst and most provocative geostrategic blunders in history. Peace was killed by those who thought they could rain with impunity and Ukraine is now paying the price of the zero-sum thinking.
