Russia, Ukraine, and the Future World Order, Published online by Cambridge University Press: 27 October 2022

Russia's invasion of Ukraine, initiated on February 24, 2022, is among the most—if not the most—significant shocks to the global order since World War II.

I have contributed over 30 items to Conservapedia proven right since 2017, mostly on Russiagate, Coronavirus, and the NATO war in Ukraine.

Favorite YouTube recordings

• Pelageya, Werewolf Prince. (Official music video. Comment: This is what Russia will do to the NATO hordes. The warriors will turn into killer beasts, and unlike Pelegaye's other Cossack warrior songs who die in battle, the hero will return to his wife and become human again to raise his wolfcub sons and not suffer from a Big Pharma-invented disease like PTSD.)
• Grausamer, Waltraud Meier
• Jimi Hendrix, Voodoo Chile - performed by Nomos-Quartett (good rendition)
• Marina Grauman, concertmaster class with Noah Bendix-Balgley for Strauss' Heldenleben. Russian born Marina is 19 years old, playing at the concertmaster level, and studying with the Berlin Philharmonic concertmaster.

• Munich Concertmaster Lorenz Nasturica-Herschcowici shows us how it's done.

• Krzysztof Penderecki, Cello Concerto #2, Penderecki conducting with Siegfried Palm. (inspired by the Nazi invasion of Poland, 1939 when Penderecki was 6 years old).
• Prokofiev, Romeo and Juliettt, World Orchestra. (all those female violinists know how to pump up the volume when needed).
• Ravel, Daphnes et Chloe, Wilhelm Furtwangler 1944 restored. Comment: This magnetic tape recording was expropriated by the Red Army in 1945 and returned to Germany in 1986 as a gesture of good faith shortly before the Fall of the Berlin Wall when it finally became available to the public, marking the end of the Cold War. It is one of the earliest orchestral magnetic tape recordings made. In later issues, Deutsche Gramaphone engineers have reduced some of the over modulation, however Furtwangler's unique interpretative qualities are ever present.
• Waltraud Meier, Die Walkure, as Sieglinde (genuine pirate recording. Even in a concert performance made in what looks like a high school gymnasium with poor video and audio, Meier appears in character which is why she's considered one the greatest Wagnerian actresses of her time).

• Waltraud Meier and Barenboim. Liebestod. (Outdoor performance, which is extremely difficult to engineer, somewhere in Catalonia, I think. I post it here to compensate in fairness to the performers for the poor video and audio quality of the above and to illustrate the teamwork of Meier, Barenboim, and the West-Eastern Divan Orchestra made up of Palestinians and Jews founded by Barenboim).

• Richard Strauss, Alpine Symphony, Yevgeny Mravinsky, Leningrad Philharmonic 1962. (augmented brass you will not hear in other performances of this oft recorded piece).

• NYO-USA 2019 rehearses Strauss's Eine Alpensinfonie, 119 members—ages 16–19. Typically, it takes years and years for a person schooled in the classics of Mozart and Beethoven to pick up Late Romantic Era music, but these kids are on their way.

• Tchaikovsky, Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" mvt 4, Mravinsky, Leningrad Philharmonic 1960. (sheer terrifying anger at fortissimo)
• Tchaikovsky, Symphony no. 6 "Pathétique" mvt 4, Furtwangler, Berlin Philharmonic 1938 (good contrast to Mravinsky, particularly the closing bars)
• Zenon Kosnowski, Wehvolles erbe. (provincial theatre at its best).
• Anton Bruckner, Symphony 8, Seagerstam, Sinfónica de Galicia. Read the 100+ comments on this performance of "the Mt. Everest of symphonies". In fact, Sinfónica de Galicia has used YouTube to promote itself, and you'll find it shows the commitment and discipline of the finest orchestras on the planet, I mean like Berlin, Vienna, or Chicago. Take any of your favorite pieces and listen to Sinfónica de Galicia's rendition. Interestingly, the ElementaryClassics youtube channel recently ranked Bruckner's 8th as No.7 in the 'Top 30 Epic Symphony Finales in All of Music History' among three of Bruckner's works and just ahead of Beethoven's 5th using the Celibidache interpretation, which is entirely unique in timing and counterpoint. Oddly, ElementaryClassics leave the The Immense Fugal Finale of Bruckner's Fifth Symphony off their list.
• Oboe Solo from Parsifal - Good Friday Spell, by Richard Wagner
• RhineGold - Birmingham Opera Company. In English. All Black cast.
• Arkady Leytush, Sibelius - Symphony #2, 1st movement, part 2, Sofia Philharmonic. Outstanding Sibelius and late Romantic interpreter, even with the trumpet flub at crescendo.
• J. Sibelius: Symphony No.2, second movement, Czecho-Slovak Radio Symphony Orchestra. I like this version cause they appear to use a tuba to compensate for bass violins.
• Sibelius, Symphonie Nr 4, Esa Pekka Salonen. Despite his globalist politics, Esa Pekka Salonen's interpretation is the cleanest and best version on Youtube beside the 1934 Schnéevoigt recording.
• Leytush, Franck Symphony in D-minor, National Orchestra of Porto, Portugal. More Leytush showing off his late Romantic interpretative skills.
• Review: Furtwängler's Bayreuth Beethoven Ninth--Its Most Metaphysical, Worst-Sounding Release Yet!! Absolute hilarity. I envy this guy's job.
• Ludwig Suthaus, Unsre Liebe. Probably the most difficult male passage in all of Wagner.
• Jeffrey Swann: "The Music of Parsifal: A Mixture, a Summation, or a Culmination?" One of the best 45 minute introductions to the work of Wagner.

I always wanted to be a music critic, but had to settle for writing on historical espionage subjects.
