Rurik Skywalker returns to discuss the strange circumstances surrounding the death of Russell "Texas" Bentley, the Crocus City Hall attack, rumors of Shoigu's removal, occultism in the Kremlin, the Ukraine Not-War, and more!
Well I don't know about anyone else, but I'M interested in the dynamics of FSB vs GRU. Sounds like a good foundation for a series of novels, like a Slavic version of Tom Clancy.
The impression I get from Rurik is that he can lie with ease, ie boldface liar, or leave info & context out to paint his narratives.
Idk why they are calling him names but he doesn't make sense at times. If I can sense it, so could the russian nationalists or whatever circles that he claims to represent.
What's the name of the documentary you mention about the american service man?
I think it's beyond silly to insinuate or call you an agent of some sort. You bring a variety of guests on. All types really, low to high, left to right. One could argue you could bring on more high quality of guests on, there are plenty of qualified folks out there, like professor emeritus in politics, economy etc. But that's about it. You should really ponder to bring in more serious actors at times, not least professors & analysts from the Sinorussian-sphere due to the "information blockade". There was a good conversation with a sino-aussie professor at "neutrality studies" YT channel. Maybe you could bring him & such figures on as compliment to the more doomer type of guests.
With your guest it's partially a different story. We can value what russian nationalists claim and try to dissect his work. Imho there are plenty of fallacy of logic & reasoning going on in his texts. But does this make him an agent? Doubtful. Maybe he is just tired of the shit and miss America. It's a pitty though his comment section is closed so we can't call it out.
One of his cardinal mistakes (for whatever reason) is claiming that the secret Ethnoreligious cabal is behind the ukrainian & russian war. And that russian and anglo-saxon interests converge. They don't & there are enough american, british & certain european elits & actors pushing the war. So its obviously silly to put all blame to the small hat crew. And neglect all the other troublemakers.
Overall there is plenty of stuff regarding him that doesn't make sense at all if one ought to try to view it from russian lenses. This could explain the smear against him.
In the end this is a business as well for you two and for other actors too for that matter, with everything that entitles with it. Ppl must count this in in their judgment.
You're doing one heck of a job & deserve our support. I guess Rurik is successful with the american sheeple as well who just don't know any better and can be more easily redirected & possibly milked for a few dollars.
But hey why not? Their nation is behind almost a million of ukrainian and russian lives so go for it. Otherwise at times the dunning kruger effects shines through & there is no arguments about his confidence levels.
The way he paints the narratives, the stuff left out is what brings suspicion I guess. But maybe he is an innocent commentator and the smears unfounded & ill-willed. This is common too. In that case he got some questions to sincerely answer.
But anybody calling you names is a fool, straight up. You've done a whole lot of informational work with awesome guests throughout the years. And deserve all the credit in the world imho.
Sorry for this long rant. Just a few thoughts. Cheers.
Spasibo. I've had on a few profs/analysts from SinoRU-sphere...Vladimir Kozin who I met personally in Russia (check archive)...i try from time to time...sometimes not successful, will keep trying, let me know if there is anyone in particular you like...
M.K Badrakumar, Charles Liu, Jan Oberg (got his own homepage), Warwick Powell are some recent voices I've watched that makes sense imo. But let me compose a list & get back at you in some time.
Try to get that chinese guy on behind the YT channel "Awakening" (type "destroy euro to save the dollar" to get to one of his videos if its hard to find the channel). Think it can be an interesting conversation.
Tnx for the openness for constructive feedback. Have a blessed day & keep the good work up.
Tomas Karat (?), the guy behind "saltcube analytics" a worthy guest for your channel as well. A super interesting guy. With a super shadow banned X & YT account. Very strange given the topics... Or maybe not.
I think he'd be an excellent guest. And maybe you can be a guest at his show too... He is on X, type saltcube analytics.
I've tried MK multiple times, no luck. I had messaged with Jan but our attempts to schedule fell threw and I lost interest. I actually recently planned to reach out to Warwick because of a recent piece he wrote...don't know Liu...
I just wanted to let you know that your music selection was exquisite. Those two ladies are masterpieces. I enjoyed the last hour serenaded by their Lyr-Viols, and it made me quite happy. Thank you. It was unexpected, but wonderful.
They are fantastic! And were kind enough to allow me to use a few seconds of their music! That particular piece is available in full on their site anyway. I own all their albums! You can purchase them on Apple Music, etc.
On his substack today, Mr. Skywalker has found it impossible to express himself without using the name of the Son of God to emphasize his unending anger and frustration. In reading the subheading of his post, I remembered that he had an interview posted here. Skywalker is a promoter of Gnosticism, and freely expresses his hatred of YHWH on a regular basis. I offered to have a rational discussion with him, about his beliefs, but he came back with yet another one of his distorted readings of the Old Testament, wrapped in full-out hostility. He isn't stupid, but he has been getting increasingly foul-mouthed and, with his substack post today, has crossed a line. I won't allow this degradation of God on my computer screen. Hrvoje, you might note that the tagline on his promo above says one can hear him rag on one's demon-god. That demon-god, for him, is the Creator of the universe, the God who is revealed in the Bible. Do what you want, but I wouldn't touch this type of promo with a ten-foot pole.
The first part was interesting, but once the language goes south, I quit listening. There are too many clean options available to bother continuing, knowing the gloves are off and anything goes.
I did look through the comments after I turned it off and I have a suggestion for a guest along the lines of the requests. The son of a friend studied Russian history. I don’t know if he would be willing to do an interview, but if he would, it would be excellent. His doctoral thesis was on the times of troubles (late 1500s-early 1600s). His mom gave me a copy, which I read years ago. I have a great deal of respect for Isaiah.
I looked into the Bentley story, Simplictus dude have adressed it in his recent piece, Snekotron & many others on X too. The Alina Lipp girl too. But see how Rurik try to twist it... No wonders ppl get suspicious, right! Nothing seems to be hushed up. No wonders ppl begin to wonder.
It's a freaking war btw, very bad things happen during wars, ppl murder, ppl die & ppl do all sort of awful things to one other. But let's hear how the narrative will be painted.
It is what it is. And when enough lies are told even the sheeple might just get it right.
Thank you for an amazing listen. Please continue to bring this adult take to us. Some of us are desparate for this in-depth coverage.
Thanks! More my type of conversations as well!
This is (at least) one of my favorite GnE discussions so far.
Fantastic interview. I'm a paid subscriber to Ruriks account. I'll be with him as long as he's telling the truth as he sees it.

I already downloaded three albums. Thank you again.
