Violinist Joshua Bell and conductor Dalia Stasevska are on an intensely focused mission to get the opening bars of a concerto just right – and not just any concerto, but one by the virtually forgotten Ukrainian-born composer Thomas de Hartmann. The musicians of the International Symphony Orchestra Lviv (INSO-Lviv) are giving it its first commercial recording since the work’s premiere in 1943. They will then perform it in a concert of Ukrainian and Polish music in Warsaw.

Ukraine shoots down two Russian warplanes Ukraine’s military shot down two of Russia’s command planes on Sunday, one of the most disastrous days for the Kremlin’s air power since the start of Vladimir Putin’s full-scale invasion, Luke Harding reported. Valerii Zaluzhnyi, Ukraine’s commander in chief, said his air force had destroyed an A-50 long-range radar detection aircraft and an Il-22 control centre plane. Both were flying above the Sea of Azov on Sunday when they were hit at 9.10pm local time.

‘Spend Russia’s money now for Ukraine’s good’ The rich G7 countries froze Russian central bank reserves after the invasion of February 2022, and there have been growing demands from Kyiv for the assets to be seized and spent on reconstruction.

>But gosh, I haven’t come across an overt “repeater of Russian propaganda.” They seem to never be cited directly, but merely mentioned in general. What’s your take?<

World, IMHO, a “repeater of Russian propaganda” is a FReeper who posts viewpoints that are contrary to zeepers.

A zeeper doesn’t care if a poster takes no side in this war or if the poster is concerned about America’s failing economy. If your posts don’t wholeheartedly support Zelensky, you are a “repeater of Russian propaganda”.

So, do Zeepers have zippers for their zappers? Or is it zappers for their zippers?

Interesting similarity to Putin:

Judas’s surname is more probably a corruption of the Latin sicarius (”murderer” or “assassin”) than an indication of family origin.

He suggesting that he would have belonged to the Sicarii, the most radical Jewish terrorists: Russian KGB terrorists?

OF INTEREST:
“SECRETS & LIES ‘Paranoid & sick’ Putin is trapped in ‘spider web of lies’ – with ‘body double’ giving him smokescreen for assassination: Opposition leader Ilya Ponomarev has seen enough of his friends murdered to know that paranoid Putin will ‘neutralise’ any possible threat to his power”

Funny you should mention that.

A few months ago I compared “REVEREND” mommy to the evil Reverend Mother Gaius Helen Mohiam, the Bene Gesserit Sisterhood Imperial Truthsayer.

Zelensky at the e-piano -- 5 minute video

1,868,181 views Mar 1, 2022

Volodymyr Zelenskyy in 2016 recreated one of the show's most memorable bits, a five-minute performance in which he plays the piano with his penis, before a live audience of adoring fans. Clips of Zelenskyy's 2016 performance went viral over the weekend, and fans were particularly complimentary of his take on Jewish classic "Hava Nagila."

Could be.. but instead of just ignoring the ‘detractos, distractors, & Russian propagandists is intended to be used as a reminder to be kind.

Sadly, some cannot identify with kindness.
