Sberbank in the Czech Republic has been all but destroyed in the Czech Republic in the wake of the Ukraine war. I used to joke that Sberbank has more branches in the Czech Republic than it does in the Republic of Crimea. There weren’t any Sberbanks in Crimea…
I really wonder what led Sberbank to open branches in the EU? Don’t they do risk assessment before investing? A large institution like Sberbank could afford a media analysis of the mainstream Czech papers and found out that those are thoroughly Russophobic. Obviously, they didn’t do any of that and now all their branches are closed. They may open some in Crimea, and in Ukraine now.
The Czech President, said in an interview to CNN Prima News, that there isn’t any evidence for Russian involvement in the explosions of ammunition in Vrbětice. I watched the interview few weeks ago but then kind of forgot about this story.
The Security and Information Service (the principal secret service in the Czech Republic) does not have any evidence or witnesses confirming Russian agents were at the munition storages at Vrbětice.
Personally, I think the Czech government was under pressure to rescind possible a nuclear deal with Rosatom and needed a convenient excuse. So they concocted a poorly contrived story about Petrov and Boshirov blowing up munition storages that belonged to a Bulgarian businessman, who was reselling that munition to Ukraine and the Syrian rebels. I am rather ashamed that my country facilitates the sale of munition to entities such as the Kiev regime, or the Syrian opposition.
Munition rounds of 152 mm caliber for the Ukrainian military are ready to be shipped to Ukraine – said Czech defense minister, Černochová. Czechia already prepared for shipment, a military help, including 152 mm rounds.
Bloody hell woman, you are a minister, you make some fuck you money, where is your fashion sense? Don’t have any? Pay somebody to advise you! Have some class!
The Czech Lands are a beautiful place with a rich history, and culture of libertine tolerance, the main land is called Bohemia after all. But unfortunately we have a very low class political culture that reeks of provincialism.
When I heard we are sending the Ukrainians weapons to kill other Ukrainians, I remembered Sasha, my Ukrainian grandad. I heard his Ukrainian accented voice in my head, remembered how we caught perch in the Moldau, and at that moment I burst into tears. Good men like him will die…
Our neighbors, the Germans had enough wisdom to ban sales of weapons to Ukraine. This is because the German political culture has class…
Number of adherents, note: The Czech Republic has a population of over 10 million. Blue = Catholics, Below = Czech Protestants
So, the number of Christians of the major traditional denominations has dropped below a million of people. However, people in the Czech Republic are not entirely atheist. I am for instance not a practicing Christian but I believe in God. Not necessarily the God of the bible, but the notion that there is something bigger than the purely temporal.
The land is swarming with cults, like the one of Guru Jára, which I recently mentioned. Religion has been replaced by spirituality and your garden variety witchy stuff. I really wonder whether anyone researches new religious movements in the Czech Republic, somebody does, or maybe I should.
I could be wrong about this but the American establishment, particularly the media and politicians, try to create these heroes of democracy from other countries, and then sell to them to the American public. One time, Americans I met on my travels, upon hearing I am from the Czech Republic, would always start talking about Václav Havel. It happened to me multiple times. The Americans could not pronounce Havel’s name properly, and called him Vaklav.
This country has a large population of people, who don’t have a good opinion of Havel, and the people are often former dissidents. I personally believe Havel was a puppet of the secret services. Controlled opposition. One of the brothers Mašín said Havel was a “cretin pimped by the STB.” So these American’s were surprised I don’t fawn over Havel. Maybe these Muricans read a report in time like the one below.
Putin does not fear Navalny. Navalny has limited legitimacy even among the pro-Western crowd, many of whom are glad he is in jail. But Navalny is a petty criminal, who became a millionaire by creaming the system. It is said he grafted money from SPS, that was a party back then, not very successful. I guess you can’t do a campaign when you steal all the money and spend it on designer shit for your daughter and holidays in the Maldives.
Navalny got burned by fucking with YvesRocher. His faked poisoning was created to give him a chance to escape justice. Navalny is a crook, that’s all he is. Russians may be glad they are at loggerheads with America, so they wouldn’t be meeting many American telling them about Alexey Navalny. The Time is trash, close it.
This is a story about my compatriot Jaroslav Dobeš, aka Guru Jára and Óm Nadsamec (Ohm Ubermale; I have not found this title on sites favourable to Guru Jára)…
Guru as a young lad
Guru Jára (pronounced: Yara) was born in 1971 in Příbram. When he reached 18, he emigrated to Italy for a short time, and there in 1991 in a hermitage in Acro, he achieved nirvana. After the Communist regime fell, Guru Jára returned back to Czechoslovakia in 1992 to take care of his ill mother. In 1995, he spent a night in the Pyramid of Menkaure and there he achieved Egyptian enlightenment. By 1996, Guru Jára was already recognised as a spiritual teacher. By 2005 he had 3500 followers. He teaches a “Way of Guru Jára” and draws on Hinduism, Taoism, Buddhism, Christianity, and other teachings. Guru Jára is actually an extraordinary man, and an author of more than 20 books. He is a true modern spiritual leader, and an enlightened man.
The most controversial practice of Guru Jára was so called “unhinging”, (oháčkování in Czech, literally unhooking but I went with unhinging because Hinge is a dating app) which amounted to tantric sex with his female followers. Guru Jára claimed the women are unhappy because of their past relationships, and to undo these problems they have to be unhinged through tantric sex with the master. It sounds bad but tantric sex is a legitimate practice and there does not seem to be an element of coercion in this. There is an element of manipulation through ritual trance but if we are to prosecute every man for manipulating women into sex, then there wouldn’t be any men left. Guru Jára may have had tantric sex with hundreds maybe thousands of women.
Guru Jára has a sidekick, Barbory Plášková aka. Šrí Barbora Durga, she is with him in the Philippines.
Guru Jára says they were doing this freely in the nineties, and reports have it that the Czech police became interested in Guru Jára only in 2007. Guru Jára and his followers were enjoying tantric sex rituals in relative freedom for almost two decades but with the new millennium, prudish Western feminism has made inroads into the minds of young women in the Bohemian Lands, and some of his followers reported him for rape. Guru Jára did not realise that you cannot make a Czech woman happy, that is an impossible task.
In the detention center in Manila, the Guru met a Japanese woman named Yoko, who is 13 years his junior, and married her.
But he realised he ain’t gonna get any justice in this country, and set up his shop in the Philippines. He was tried for his alleged crimes in absentia and sentenced to 5.5 years in prison. The last reports I can find say he is in a detention center in Manila, and the Filipino authorities are deciding whether to extradite him to the Czech Republic. Please Filipinos do not send this innocent man to this spiritual desert. There are demonstrations happening in Prague, which are attended by mostly women, and they say they want to be unhinged by the master. Please let Guru Jára set up a practice in the Philippines, so that Czech women could go there and get unhinged. If we cannot have religious freedom in this country, maybe we can have one in the Philippines. The witch hunt against Guru Jára is a persecution of an innocent man. Guru Jára did nothing wrong.
Wikipedia has a good summary of the case of Dominik Feri in English:
In May 2021, he was accused of a sexual assault and rape by eight anonymous female students. This story was published by the Czech media after a discussion started by an anonymous Twitter account, where many participants wrote about Feri being offensive and arrogant to women, in many cases directly and promptly offering a sexual intercourse. As the Czech media stated, these alleged assaults and sexual offense cases should have been happening throughout 2015-2020. Many anonymous sources state in the media’s article state that Feri’s behaviour has been a “public secret” for a longer period of time. After the publicity, Feri immediatelly announced his resignation and withdrawal from the 2021 Czech legislative election. The Police have already started an investigation regarding this case.
The funny thing is that Dominik Feri supported MeToo in 2017. Guilty or not, I will just say that many Czech politicians do not have a mind of their own and the Czech interests in mind, and copy any initiative from the United States. That is why we see parliamentarians supporting MeToo. We also have the Mayor of Prague renaming the street on which the Russian Embassy is located in the honour of Boris Nemtsov, an initiative that began in Washington D.C. with the Boris Nemtsov Plaza. We also see Czech senators debating a boycott of the olympics in Beijing next year after a suggestion was made by Nanci Pelosi.
I literally want politicians that have our beautiful country and its interests in mind, and do not copy everything they see in America. I would never cast a vote for these unoriginal lackeys.
A source claims the above are soldiers of the FSA training with the vz. 58, a decommissioned rifle used previously by the Czech military. Wikipedia lists ISIS as one of the nonstate users of this rifle…
