Proud to present Riley Waggaman alias Edward Slavsquat, from southern California, lived for 10 years in Russia, worked for RT, quit because of Covid-19, went to remote Bashkortostan and now US.
My son and I have read Edward Slavsquat's Russia diaries for years! This is the first time I am seeing him - or hearing him speak. It's very cool. Like the masked man unmasked.
Funny, but our stories run together a bit... I was at DLI learning Turbo Russian 1992/93 when Russia (and by that token Russian) seemed inconsequential. But I had loved the culture from my youth, so I chose Russian as a language, when my opportunity finally materialized to go to DLI. I was first in my class so they sent me to DC - which place I also hated - but had my chances to go to Moscow with the DOD, and later with my own family when I married a Russian artist.
Things were cool, then suddenly they weren't. Andre had to change his last name, and we had to change the name of our Bed & Breakfast in NY from 'Moscow Nights' to 'The Iron Lion Inn', because of the tumults. (Americans are famous for wreaking havoc for no good reason other than virtue signaling, so we cut that off at the pass.)
And when the fake pandemic started, we fully expected Russia to stay out of it, and refuse to comply. That was our wakeup call too! ..frankly. Then my son got deported from Russia.. then within 2 weeks we heard about Slavsquat's girlfriend..
There's more to tell, but the point was to thank you Flemming, for interviewing this interesting man. The sad part of the story is finding out there really is no corner of the world left to escape to..
This is a great example of an honest and open conversation between an American and a Danish citizen that can agree to (with their correct insight) who the enemy really is. Thank you very much gentlemen! More of this please, because when the people of the world realize that our enemies are the zionist driven states then we are winning.
The reason that the decisions of the russian leadership don't make sense and seem incompetent is becasue people are assuming that their purpose is to win tne war, and not understanding that the purpose of the ruling classes is NOT to win the war but to be at war. This is how the elite control the people. See full explanation of this, including numerous examples, here
Thank you for interviewing Riley. It was very interesting to hear your own thoughts and the historical research that you have done, particularly in relation to Denmark/Greenland which was a real eye opener to me.
I really dont think your comment is thought through (or maybe it is!). There is a shadow of threat about it, which I find very misplaced. Riley (and I) and others, knows the dangers of speaking up. You dont have to remind us every day. If you want the knowledge that Riley brings you, then dont tell him to shut up!

Wauw. What a story. And how sad it is to realise the dire situation we are all in.
But the truth is out, so we Will see how the development goes.
Thank you Victoria for sharing your story🙏

I agree, it sounded like a threat to me too!
