    Not everyone will be allowed into the future, by Victoria Nikiforova for RiaNovosti. 08.09.2024.

    The outstanding American athlete, wrestler Daniel Cormier said about the Paris Olympics what everyone knew but was afraid to say: "The absence of Russian athletes <...> will cast a shadow on the winners. It's like the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics - we had guys who became champions there, but they were almost forgotten because there were no Russians there. Unfortunately, people will always look back and say: "Well, there were no Russians there."

    Indeed, the Parisian awards ceremonies in martial arts and rhythmic gymnastics, synchronized swimming and artistic gymnastics, and practically in all sports, look disgraceful. Without the Russians, all these medals are worth absolutely nothing. Without us, world sports have been reduced to an exotic get-together, a glamorous international get-together that can only hype up scandals. But why do we still follow these scandals?

    I think it's not just about resentment (how come they didn't let us in, we're our own, bourgeois?!) or envy - what's there to envy? Nothing lasts forever under the moon, and at some point the Russians will return. So we're trying to figure out where the trends will take us by 2028, what sport we'll have to return to, and is it even worth it?

    For example, the IOC has opened the Overton window with a bang, allowing male athletes to win in women's boxing. It's not even about the moral side of the issue - "I'm a handsome guy, I beat women and children." The point is that at the next Olympics, men, having realized all the benefits of this business, will en masse call themselves women and will happily start defeating their rivals and winning medals in women's sports.

    After all, nothing prevented the IOC leadership from reacting to the scandal and simply checking the gender of Algerian Iman Khelif and Taiwanese Lin Yueting. They could have looked at their testosterone levels - this is an official procedure, it is done in many sports federations. Or the old-fashioned way - take them to the doctor's office and ask them to take off their underwear.

    However, according to the new concepts, a gynecological examination is considered "humiliating" and violates some human rights. And they don't test for testosterone for obvious political reasons. Lin Yuting is a representative of Taiwan , which is under the protection of the Americans , and he is a thorn in China 's side. And President Macron needs the victory of the Algerian Khelif in light of his current problems with Algeria. That's why the president shamelessly hugged Khelif on camera and wished him victory. The judges, of course, couldn't help but hear all these political signals.

    And all this madness is being pushed through under the guise that it is the way it should be. The Italian boxer was forced to apologize to Iman Khelif. All sports publications, including even ours, Russian ones, write about these guys in the feminine gender. Only Joan Rowling is openly indignant, but she is looked upon as the town madwoman. Meanwhile, the openly cheating Algerian man with eye makeup has become a real star, he is in fashion, the stands scream at his appearance.

    It is clear that all structures of international sports are geared towards the Americans winning everything – overseas they celebrate their first place in the medal count in advance. China is allowed to take second place – for now, at least. This is an unspoken consensus, everyone understands it and no one protests against it.

    If necessary, the results are changed right on the fly. During the synchronized swimmers' competition (without the Russians, yeah), the teams' points were changed after the performances. They counted once, it didn't add up, they counted again, and only when they managed to raise the Americans higher, then they went their separate ways. A disgrace? But everyone is trying hard to pretend that this is how it should be.

    They recalculate the results retroactively. They held a stupid ceremony to re-present the Beijing Olympic medals to the skaters. The gold was given to the Americans - unexpected, right? The silver went to the Japanese, the Americans' favorite vassals. The bronze instead of gold should have been given to the Russian skaters, but they were not invited at all, it would have looked too funny.

    When we said that "sport is beyond politics," we dreamed of a few days every four years, when representatives of the most diverse countries live in a closed world of sporting achievements. Where pure mathematics reigns - fractions of a second, metres, points - and the strictest rules. And then an outstanding athlete or a talented team gets their chance to succeed, regardless of where they come from. And this victory sometimes brings to the top of success an entire country that was not so lucky in the world's circumstances.

    That's how we learned about Kenya , the birthplace of the greatest runners, and Ethiopia , which is hot on its heels . That's how the whole world rooted for the Moroccan football team - after all, it's wonderful when arrogant giants are pushed off their pedestals by unknown, ambitious guys who strained all their strength to accomplish the impossible.

    Now it's over. Politics has eaten up sport. We are being brazenly shown that Olympic medals are awarded solely by quota. To win gold, you have to be either trans or American. Even the medals you won in a fair fight can be taken away from you years later, rendering your entire life meaningless.

    All this completely deprives sport of its drive and excitement. What is there to look at if everything was decided in advance in the Washington Politburo? The Olympics today look like a purely nomenklatura bureaucratic ritual, and, by the way, ordinary spectators feel this on a subconscious level. Neither the Japanese nor the French were interested in their Games at all, everyone understood everything - American drug addicts came so that everyone would stand up for the American anthem.

    There is no doubt that in 2028, all these trends will flourish in Los Angeles . Do we need such a sport, is it worth returning there? The big question.

    On another point, why doesn't Russia field better women's basketball teams that can challenge the United States? Is it because Russian women are afraid of the US or has basketball lost popularity?


    During the time of the USSR, they won the gold medal in '76, '80 and in 1992 as the Commonwealth of Independent States.  

    Lithuania was very strong in basketball it's basically their national sport. I assume that's what the USSR owes its success to

    Basketball in Russia isn't unpopular but it's certainly below football, ice hockey and volleyball

    As for not participating in the 2024 games, I'd say we dodged a bullet.

    In England there used to be a carton, The Animal Olympics.

    In Paris, there is a parody. It should either be called the Vegetable Olympics.
    Or maybe Turdolympics.

    Anyway, Paris is literally a piece of shit.
    Disastrous opening ceremony with no spectators, just performing tranneys and fags.
    Events? Fags pretending to be women.
    "The World is One" was the IOC boast. One... without the country that told Nazis and their backers to **** off.
    The country that exposed the mass fraud that is therapeutic use exemption.

    Then look at the games themselves. Medals falling apart, a shithole Olympic village in an African slum. Garbage food that is not nutritious enough for athletes. Cheap disposable cardboard beds. Competitors robbed by African gangs.
    And finally, Paris is empty relative to a normal August. Fear of terrorism or protests mean it's on effective lockdown.
    An economic disaster, a moral and sporting disaster.

    We are seeing the death knell of the Turdolympics.
    Let's bring on the BRICS Games.
    **** the eurofags and Americunts.

    Russia needs new migrants, by Natalia Osipova for RiaNovosti. 08.10.2024.

    "I ask Russia to grant me asylum, I don't want to be part of this shit show" - this cry from the heart of the Italian journalist Angelo Giuliano was heard by everyone. After the memorable opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris with the serving of a living human being - comedian Philippe Catherine painted in blue-Ukrainian colors - a storm of indignation broke out.

    However, the blasphemous production with transgenders, a parody of The Last Supper and the severed head of Marie Antoinette was only the prologue.

    The "shit show" is now in its second week, periodically causing vomiting spasms around the world. Shit - in the literal sense. Athletes were offered to take a dip in the Seine cesspool. As a result - several athletes infected with E. coli and the Belgian triathlon team, which withdrew from the competition in its entirety.

    Literally, as Harms put it: they are all sick. A triathlete who swallowed sewage spit it back out in a fountain of multi-colored streams that turned into the Olympic rings — this meme image will forever be a symbol of the Paris Olympics. They moved from swimming in feces to a fluid-gender fistfight. The beating of women Angela Carini (Italy) and Anna Luca Hamori (Hungary) by transgender boxers Iman Khelif (Algeria) and Lin Yuiting (Taiwan) is also a symbol of the new abnormality legitimized by the Olympics. A man beats a woman and gets an Olympic gold medal. "I can't win, he's a man," the Hungarian athlete complains to her coaches. "It hurts," the Italian screams in the ring. But IOC spokesman Mark Adams responds with complete nonsense: "Gender is a field for thought. Everyone wants simple explanations of how we can determine it. But there is no simple explanation. We need to work towards consensus." You get the idea. For these people, even contemplating their own private parts is not a way to determine gender.

    The Olympics have shown in concentrated form how crazy the European world has become: what was abnormal, shameful, immoral, nauseating, wretched, dirty, has finally been declared not just a norm, but a form of progress. Anyone who disagrees, who considers what is happening absurd, degradation, Satanism and unsanitary conditions, must remain silent. Otherwise, the social mechanisms of Western society will grind the dissenters into dust.

    "Madness has taken over and everyone has gone crazy," says Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic, assessing the situation. He is one of the few who can afford it. Most people are surrounded, like flags, by all sorts of restrictions on their opinions, personal choices, even the right to raise their children as they see fit. Refusing to give your child puberty blockers? Get criminal prosecution, like a couple from Switzerland did. Wearing a T-shirt with a hammer and sickle? Get a prison term, like in Ukraine. Collecting humanitarian aid for Donbass? You will be charged with terrorism, like in Finland. Supporting Russia in the conflict with Ukraine? You face prison, like in the Czech Republic. Organizing the "Immortal Regiment"? You will be expelled from Estonia. And it will be good if they don't put you in jail.

    All of this, from the humiliating requirement to dive into sewage to the requirement to accept that your child is being maimed and deprived of a future, is the essence of the moment. If you want to be a successful philistine, pretend that everything is normal, everything is fine and you believe what they say on TV. Normal people are sick of totalitarian unanimity - in every sense. We remember this well: the late USSR, in many ways progressive and advanced, perished from legalized doublethink and triplethink. One thing was said from the podium, another - in the kitchens, a third - in the line for sour cream at the store. Now this has happened to the West - the clogging of all social pores with stupid and aggressive propaganda of abnormality, social psychoses and sexual perversions. However, the more pressure is put on the philistine, the more Russia seems to him a stronghold of common sense and freedom. In any case, the freedom to be men and women - by birth.

    After the Parisian disgrace show, the French began to daydream on social networks:

    "It would be an honor and dignity to escape and find refuge in Russia, where there are no fucking woke LGBT*. Where the father has a penis and the mother has a vagina. Where there is no parent number one and parent number two. Where there are still normal values";

    "I dream of seeing St. Petersburg. Maybe it's time to think seriously about it";

    "I am ashamed of my France. Is there any place left in Russia?"

    "Russia should hold a lottery similar to the US green card lottery. There will be candidates tomorrow. People cannot see their values ​​trampled."

    The idea of ​​migrating to the country of the norm — Russia — is becoming increasingly popular among conservative Europeans. Already today, hundreds of thousands of candidates for resettlement, voluntary emigrants from the wild West, could appear near Russian border checkpoints. Once upon a time, Europeans went to America, disappointed or persecuted in their native country, trying to find happiness overseas. For several centuries, they also came to us — from Germany, France, Italy. Emigrants remained in Russia forever, and many of them made up its glory and pride, serving their new Motherland with faith and truth.

    Catherine the First, Second, Bellingshausen, Lazarev-Lazaryan.
    Russia has a huge potential for migration. In the conditions of the demographic threat (one of the main threats to Russia), this potential is literally the nation's gold reserve. At the doorstep of Russia are Russians from all the republics of the former USSR who want to return home, to the country where they themselves or their ancestors were born. According to estimates by organizations that help compatriots resettle, there are at least three million such people. Those who are ready to come quickly, whose decision has already matured. But they have not yet been able or have not decided to overcome the bureaucratic obstacles that greatly complicate the process of resettlement to Russia. And even more people are in the process of making a decision - there are also at least several million of them.

    The second huge flow of potential migrants, which we did not seriously think about until the Olympics broke out, are Europeans and, more broadly, peoples of Christian cultures. The desperate cries for help from the French, outraged by the Olympic sabbath, are a symptom: the Anglo-Saxon elites with their project of multiculturalism, globalization, inclusiveness, transgenderism and other LGBT* things have had enough of everyone. Many people in Europe understand that the Eurocentric civilization has reached a dead end. And realizing that they will not be able to change Europe, they want to change at least their lives. The Europe of the childhood of the current generation of 30-50-year-old Europeans has disappeared. And they see part of that good old Europe in Russia. We can open the gates to people who share our values ​​and ideals. In fact, they are European values ​​and ideals.

    Launching a process of value migration to Russia is an idea that is in the air. In value migration, a migrant often brings money and a diploma of good education, he is a professional and an established citizen, not a victim, not a seeker of benefits. Such a migrant is economically beneficial to our country. His integration into Russian culture will bring direct social dividends.

    "There is a wave of conflicts in the world now, there will be a huge migration movement. A wonderful value migration is beginning for us. People are starting to leave because they do not want to live in this value dump that Europe has turned into. They need to be attracted here. We need smart, strong people. Russia is uniquely suited for this," says Honorary Chairman of the Presidium of the Council on Foreign and Defense Policy and member of the Council under the President of the Russian Federation for the Development of Civil Society and Human Rights Sergei Karaganov.

    For now, it is easiest for a migrant from Central Asia to get into Russia, much more difficult for a Russian from the CIS countries, and almost impossible for a European. They have the least legal grounds to apply for a residence permit and citizenship.

    But despite all the obstacles, they still strive to come to Russia. And the trend is becoming stable.

    If we open the borders to those who bring the remnants of European culture with them on the soles of their shoes, we will strengthen Russia. Now Russia is more European than Europe. It is worth comparing the ideal, luxurious picture of the ceremonies in Olympic Sochi, it is worth remembering the world-famous and still unrivaled scene with the flying away bear of the 1980 Olympics, and then once again reviewing the shock content from the opening of the Paris Olympics. We ourselves must understand and accept why people want to come to us to live and work. Sometimes it seems to us that we have nothing special that Paris does not. We often whined that we are worse. But many foreigners, according to Yesenin, see better from afar: "The big is seen from a distance."

    Do we need people? Who want to love Russia and raise children here without the dictate of a crazy state that tells them fairy tales about parent number one/two/three? The idea of ​​gathering people who have not lost the foundations of culture and civilization here could be very attractive to both citizens of the country and foreigners. It is both innovative and traditional. It fully corresponds to our historical experience. Bagration, de Richelieu, Barclay de Tolly came to us like this, and even Catherine the Great came to us like this. And it was here that she became Great.
