That photo looks exactly like Slobo Milosevic, but is it supposed to be this Savic person?
(It kind of looks like Julian Assange too, with a Chairman Mao hair do.)

Aesop, the trumpeter taken prisoner:
A trumpeter, bravely leading on the soldiers, was captured by the enemy. He cried out to his captors, “Pray spare me, and do not take my life without cause or without inquiry. I have not slain a single man of your troop. I have no arms, and carry nothing but this one brass trumpet.” “That is the very reason for which you should be put to death,” they said; “for, while you do not fight yourself, your trumpet stirs all the others to battle.”

Funny. Trump did the same thing to the same flag for the same reason.

I’m glad Josh K. is on this case. I don’t believe ONE WORD of Savic’s story. If there existed any “Serbian” savvy and passionate enough to make that methodical propaganda video urging MAGAts to perpetrate political violence in the US, he would be a SUPPORTER, not an opponent of Milosevic’s ultranationalism. Milosevic was overthrown after the Kosovo conflict, with democratic, pro-EU, pro-US aspirations. Serbian nationalists and the Kremlin were not amused. They’re trying to toy with Dems (and especially Biden) the same way they tried to blame the DNC hack on Ukraine. Up is down.
I hope the FBI has this guy on close surveillance.

Trust me: this little video cleverly mixing violent political propaganda with not-so-subtle anti-American gaslighting is not something “he” came up with on his own.

Probably much the same way that the Colleyville guy got here. No risk trying, except maybe the airfare.

“I have no idea what happened,” he said. “I don’t have enough information. As a scientist, without information, I cannot say anything. This is what I was trained for.”
“It is the interpretive structure of other people, not of me,” he told TPM. “If there is something problematic in, for example, my video, then you can say the same that there is something … problematic in Quran, because there are some very angry people citing Quran.”
Basil Rathbone was considered a consummate swordsman. His fencing on screen is legendary.
Mr. Savic is no Basil Rathbone.

He sounds like someone’s wind up ducky, marching down the table. A useful idiot.

Lest we innuendo our way down the Chris Hedges rabbit hole …
The Oafkeeper’s archived Nov 11, 2020 website is something to behold. It starts off with some of this hagiographic former guy porn:
drops the StopTheSteal url and even puts the QRF volunteer pitch out there:
The Serbian traitor runs them all through a violent fantasy and ends it with a solemn suggestion to lick their guns and hump their bibles.
Insane.

If you read down far enough you see the scale of the fraud. For example, they over quoted the Trump Tower apartment by a cool $200M. That’s a rounding error, right Weaselburg? Yes, mein Fuhrer!

Serbs have been a boil on the world’s ass since their barbarian ancestors first wandered into Europe. Remember, it was a nutbag Serb who lit the fuse of World War One.

Of course Savic lives in Texas now. He’ll probably be the next chair of the Texas GOP – I don’t know that being a citizen is actually a requirement. Failing that, he could serve as Joe Rogan’s new sidekick, or at the very least, Elon Musk’s poolboy.

They were rising up against a despot, a corrupt regime and a rigged election.
No. All the talk about socialism oppressing his individuality is bullshit. He was born in 1986, by the time he was self-aware there was no socialism in Serbia, not even stagnation time socialism.
I bet that had there been real socialism in Serbia during his lifetime this “freedom-loving individualist” would have been a communist party enforcer.

Is it just me, or are we seeing a suspicious consistency in all these narratives that are being pushed that, yes, the Trump crowd planned to stymie Biden becoming POTUS, but through constitutional means you understand, until a bunch of paintball warriors took it on themselves to riot at the Capitol.
So perhaps Savic was laughed at as a kook before 1/6, now he’s a handy scapegoat as part of Operation Big Dog.

This confirms my belief that Trump was our first Slavic president.
