Thanks for the great show! Again, like always, many deep thoughts about our reality. And I agree that the callers had very interesting things to say.
As for Putin, I can't get my head around this - on the one hand, he did a lot of awful stuff (like this false flag attack), on the other hand, you can't deny that he navigated world politics very cleverly in order to free Russia at least to some extend from the Western shock-therapy-Mafia-takeover from the nineties.
Maybe this is stretching it a bit, but could there be parallels to Cesar? I mean, Cesar too did awful things like starting wars etc., but it seems it was all a "grand plan" to come to power, crush the oligarchs and actually do something good for the people. Without knowing too much about Putin's history, it could be seen as a "longterm plan" to come to power and do something useful?
They even look a bit similar - I attached an image where I put various pictures of Cesar and Putin side by side; I think this is really stretching it, but maybe it's interesting in light of the C's comments that Putin is "not so heartless". On the other hand, there is the comment that there's already a "world government", of course.
What I found interesting while I was just doing a quick google images search for Putin is that there seems to be something very human to him, there is a sort of sadness in his eyes, even compassion, I don't know. I compared it to a search of Obama and it struck me that the latter seems so much more "superficial" with just a few well-rehearsed faces... Again, this may be stretching it, so with a big FWIW here is the little Putin/Cesar image.
