What do you think about this article from Sputnik? A reason for hope, or the same theater as always? The fact that President al-Assad agreed to meet him is a positive sign, but then again: State Senator Black is a US politician, so I don’t know……
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — US Republican presidential candidates are being pressed to abandon the US policy of toppling the Syrian regime, the Virginia State Senator who recently travelled to the war-torn country to meet President Bashar Assad told Sputnik.
“I was working with Senator Ted Cruz and his campaign. I moved his campaign toward a position where they agreed that they did not want to topple the Syrian government,” Virginia State Senator Richard Black said on Friday.
He added that he will probably work with the presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump toward the end of ensuring the United States does not overthrow the legitimate Syrian government.
“Listening to comments by Trump about his willingness to cooperate with Russia, about his focus on the terrorists rather than the legitimate government of Syria, I have hope…that we may make some progress,” he said.
In late April, Black travelled to Syria where he was able to sit down with President Assad, First Lady Asma Assad, and a number of other military and political leaders.
In addition to presidential candidates, Black is hopeful he can work with members of US Congress to create a dialogue “so that there is a greater comprehension of exactly what is going on in Syria.”
The United States has virtually severed all ties with the Syrian government since the outbreak of civil war in Syria in 2011, and views the Assad government as illegitimate.
Black is the elected representative for Loudoun County, Virginia, a wealthy district on the outskirts of Washington, DC.
Richard Black also noted that the US deployment of troops into Syria without permission from the Syrian government of President Bashar Assad is a clear violation of the law.
“We have put an additional 250 troops into principally the Kurdish held areas of Syria, we should have requested the permission of the government of Syria if we were going to do that,” Black said.
The senator added that it is “clearly unlawful to insert troops” as the United States has done.
In late April, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov referred to the activities of the US-led anti-Islamic State coalition in Syria as “illegal,” stating that Russia is the only country legally engaging in counter-terrorism activities in the country.
“The coalition has been a farce,” Black asserted of the group of nations allied to fight Daesh in Syria and Iraq. “We are allied with the filth of the earth,” he continued, referring specifically to coalition partners Turkey and Saudi Arabia, who have reportedly supported Islamic terrorists, including Daesh.

That will mean a switch in US policy and I have doubts on this issue,will have to wait till elections in November to have a more clearer picture.
Nope. No waiting. No sitting duck for Elmer Fudd to blast out of the water.
Movement, movement, movement. The flank, the flank, the flank. Military movement, economic movement, spiritual movement. Harass the flanks, run amok behind enemy lines. Mess with their supply lines, break their mind control, expose their financial fraud and get inside of their heads and scramble their brains. Know more, so that more people say “NO!” to them.
State governments are less controlled than the US Congress. A human being can surface there and survive more days, weeks and months (years, I am not so sure of, if they are the only ones moving and opening up enemy flanks!) than they could if they tried to get out of the OWL’s belly of control, in the US Senate or House of Representatives:

Yes Sir ! next time (what next time,tomorrow) I will run for the Senate to eliminate the bugs…no more waiting ! OK,that was a joke,but you are right,the enemy must be harassed continuously in the war for minds and spirit.This Vineyard is a clear example in that sense.Some combatants have indeed a huge amount of knowledge as weapons of mass-instruction,others as myself,are in the stage of picking up new information and giving in return some of my thoughts in different parts of this garden.
Thanks for the links Bro Anon

Reminds me of this individual,..at 1:00 min into the clip…

Enthusiasm is good!
The main thing is that your associative mind is workin’. I expected a clip of the Greatest back-peddling and flicking jabs on Sonny Liston’s face, but Saturday Morning cartoons are an OK way to start the day, for less than three minutes, anyway if you’re a senior, like me.
Besides your enthusiasm (which I applaud, don’t get me wrong………) things appear rather dark and full of dread here in this Cafe Sans Musique, but with plenty of French berets.
Looked for a song to honor State Sen Black and the State of Virginia ( that’s the Goddess, guys, wake up!!! Waiter, cafe ua lait for all the half asleep!) but all were bland. Looked for a decent version of Jerry Lee Lewis pounding the piano…..hey, Louisiana is nearby but couldn’t find the right one……..and decided too much energy too fast would drive the sleepyheads away!
Finally it came to me: Mother’s Day, Virginia, my mother, the Goddess, Louisiana, Dennis O’Leary, the River of Life, etc,etc Start slow, but soulful:
“Well, It was down in Louisiana
Just about a mile from Texarkana
In them old cotton fields back home!”
for it was there she was born and picked some cotton even when “them cotton bolls get rotten”.
John Fogarty starts the sounds of this here cafe, unless someone beat me to it:

He seems to me to be the first recent US politician with some open honest principles…..how long can he last one wonders in the face of such infested and degraded and polluted others…..

Uncle Bob 1 will like the shot of Ernest H with Fidel C! @ 7-8 minutes. Also Hemingway in Spain. He was Republican, on Russia’s side in that war. His wife, a war correspondent with some news service was pro-Franco. Go figure.He married and divorced several times.
Many thanks for the link with Paris and the wonderful songs,the old happy days
Fear of the unknown? How much does this affect people?
No matter if humans evolved or were created, we have many of the same characteristics of other mammals. Fear of the unknown is a survival instinct.
Hunter gatherer type cultures put all unknowns down to the spirits.
Some time ago I had an insurance policy that when I read the fine print would not cover me for “acts of God”?
Fear of the unknown seems to cover a lot of the “supernatural”. Humans seem to need to visualise their fears.
Searching for “spirituality”? A fad type thing at times. Trying to find a father figure that will protect them from their fears?
Fear of the unknown. An essential survival instinct for most/all mammals. Those that have no fear of the unknown tend to die early. Animal or human.
Propaganda…. US propaganda plays heavily on this. A different culture, a different language is an unknown. Those others….
Racism, supernatural, and a big part of religions.
Fear of the unknown…..
But what would be the unknown ? the unpredictable events,the bad feelings,the religious and/or philosophical teachings,or our and our loved ones personal future ? or maybe the destiny ?
A couple of examples here.

The terrorism bogie man – how many population surveillance laws have riding in on the back of the terrorist fear? Compare the stats on say deaths from road accidents or murder, to deaths from terrorism in the west? Even 9/11, only a quarter to a third of the deaths each and every year in the US due to violence.
Fear of the unknown is easy to observe in animals but I have rarely seen it expressed as such for humans. Perhaps comfort zone covers it. Staying within the comfort zone is staying within the known and venturing outside the comfort zone is moving into the unknown.
Those that always stay within their own comfort zone conjure up images of the unknown or are easily fed frightening images? (bad Russia, bad China?)

@ Peter AU:
“Some time ago I had an insurance policy that when I read the fine print would not cover me for “acts of God”?”
LoL! I know! Years ago a friend of mine got some new car insurance and told me about not being covered by ‘acts of god.’ We had a good laugh about it, mainly because it sounds so ridiculous. Surely, in a legally binding document, “acts of god” should be described as severe nature events; earthquakes, floods, landslides, that sort of thing, non of them are ‘acts of god.’
An ‘act of god’ would be something like a giant hand descending from the sky to crush your car. A tornado is part of nature, is not uncommon, it’s not unknown and we certainly do know how and why they do happen. A true ‘act of god’ on the other hand; should be something totally inexplicable to us.
“[..] The terrorism bogie man – how many population surveillance laws have riding in on the back of the terrorist fear?”
To be fair, it’s even more basic than that.
Population surveillance is a business, a whopping business. Think about all that hardware needed to actually carry out the surveillance; RFID technology, Full Body Scanners, Surveillance Cameras (and microphones strapped to random lampposts, btw), Metal Detectors, Airport X-Ray Machines (etc).
The ‘surveillance laws’ were a god send to the private interest manufacturing the surveillance equipment. Only there wasn’t anything “godly” involved in the matter… just plain-old, hard lobbying and bribing corrupt politicians to make it happen :/
-TL2Q
TL2Q
I hadn’t thought about the business side of population surveillance. there would be big dollars in it, but I suspect the main reason for the terrorism is laws to be able to nip any new political movement or rebellion/revolution against the one percent in the bud.
@ Peter AU:
“[..] but I suspect the main reason for the terrorism is laws to be able to nip any new political movement or rebellion/revolution against the one percent in the bud.”
^ No, no. You’re right, and I’m not disagreeing with you. It’s just that the business side of the surveillance industry often gets overlooked by the alternative media in favor of the more popular narrative about the curtailing of civil liberties.
At the end of the day, it’s both; it is about eves dropping on potential dissidents and fending off rebellions – particularly within their own ranks in intelligence and other departments – but it’s also about business.
Years ago, I moonlighted on this brand new night club. Guess what was their biggest purchase? (Besides the property itself of course).
Answer: a state of the art system of surveillance cameras, all monitored by an even more expensive nerve-centre. You need to remember this was years ago, and this was hardware available to civilians. Just imagine how much more advanced and therefore much more expensive, the hardware available to governments are. All paid by the courtesy of the tax-payer, btw. So, in turn, this is also funneling public funds into the private sector.
Someone said, can’t remember who now, that the definition of Tyranny is when corporations take over government. TTP and TTIP are prime examples of that. But also, there are plenty of other minor (yet, not so minor) examples as the one I’ve provided you with about the surveillance industry.
“Corporatocracy: is a term used to refer to an economic and political system controlled by corporations and/or corporate interests.”
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporatocracy
In the interest of ‘visualization,’ I see the corporatocracy as something depicted in the film; The Fifth Element. Gary Oldman’s character – Zorg, a powerful industrialist of humongous proportions, orders the firing of one million workers, just because…
To me; that’s what a corporatocracy looks like. And we’re all sleep-walking towards it…
-TL2Q
@ Peter AU
You are so right! A study done recently by Princeton University (?), reported in “Counterpunch”, revealed that in the US the likelihood of a person dying from police shooting is 50 times greater than from a terrorist attack.
How about that? Anyone heard of a War on the Police?
Peter, I was pulled away from the Cafe almost all day Saturday.
But I will give you the short answer to this good post of yours and answer followup with a chapter or a book, time permitting.
Because the answer, in reality, is THE KEY to surviving the current strategic/moral/civilizational crisis/Challenge to Human Consciousness.
What is feared the most is that which most needs to be known and loved most, but which is generally avoided, out of ignorance and cowardice: The “small” , individual self of each separate and discrete human being and the timeless, infinite, intimate connection between that temporary consciousness and the Eternal Consciousness of the Greater SELF that manifests this physical-material/ spiritual/Mental (all is MIND) Universe.
That’s the truth as I can best express it at this time, in my imperfect understanding. As I have said, I am not religious. However, I am told that the apostles once asked Jesus Christ how they could be “free” of the doubts and fears that afflicted them. His answer is reported to have been no such thing as “Believe in me, and my Father” or anything else of that sort.
What I have heard that he said is : “KNOW the truth. The Truth will set you free.”
I also heard that he subsequently explained where to find the truth: Within!
How many people that you know “know themselves”? I know that most human beings I ever ran across don’t even look inside themselves and are very afraid of THAT unknown, more than any other unknown!
Changing that fact is THE most powerful key to victory, IMHO. Oligarchic occult world mind control and slavery depends on the slaves continuing to be amazingly blind and incapacitated in introspection.
That inner blindness is the key to understanding their poisoned world views and slavish incapacity to break free of NWO dominators and mind controllers. So that’s what I call the area where “the rubber meets the road” in terms of making headway in this work, this struggle.
“That inner blindness is the key to understanding their poisoned world views and slavish incapacity to break free of NWO dominators and mind controllers. So that’s what I call the area where “the rubber meets the road” in terms of making headway in this work, this struggle.”
Yes,this is the key,to understand who is the first enemy standing in our way to liberate ourselves from the undermining work of the Empire of Evil.That first enemy is in our mind.We have to get rid of it as fast as possible – in case we truly want to recognize our own shortages.This fight is not easy at all and is continuous,day after day, a long time combat with ourselves because as it’s said ” the Evil is not sleeping” that”s why,consciousness and a “stand by ” mode are required.Of course,I’m not a hero of this struggle and recognize that it is much much easier to say than to effectively do it.I’m a human too and have also my fears with which I struggle every day,with less or heavier intensity and with less or more success.
“KNOW the truth. The Truth will set you free.”
I am not religious either Bro Anon, but that has got to be one of the most insightful sayings of all time.
Perfectly covers the topic I am thinking about.
For whatever reason, I always try to get to the core or foundation of a problem rather than the cosmetic appearances or symptoms.
The US unconventional warfare manual (page 14 off memory) shows a chart with a small group on one side, a small group on the other side and the mass of humanity 60-80% in the middle.
In looking at the instincts? we are born with, two stand out at the moment in regards US propaganda. One is the herd or flock instinct. People congregate in huge numbers where conditions permit. Most like to have lots of people around them and do what everyone else is doing. The herd/flock instinct. It’s why fads and fashions work so well for those that can manipulate the flock.
Add to that, the fear of the unknown (survival instinct) and you have the US AZ propaganda.
Control all MSM and feed frightening images of the unknown to that 60 to 80% of “western” humanity
The Russian entry into the Syrian conflict was interesting as “bad Russia” was taking on bad ISIS. Looking at comments in the guardian, this action cut clean through the propaganda and bad Russia became good Russia. US propaganda made ISIS too frightening?
The Russian/Chinese news services and the alternative media are good for the minority, but that 60 to 80% average person only sees western MSM and won’t look any further.
The 60 to 80% are simply average people functioning in the way humans in general are designed to function.
Although I don’t have a TV I occasionally catch the TV news, including Fox News, while doing jobs when my clients have the TV running in the background, so I have seen a few Trump rallies and Clinton rallies. What you never see on TV is a Sanders speech. Watching this speech given in West Virginia at a Food Bank will show you why Sanders is getting huge majorities in the Democratic primaries in every state where young people and independents are allowed to vote, and Clinton only wins where only the vote is restricted to party insiders.
There is no way the handful of Billionaire oligarchs who own the three or four media corporations that control virtually the entire North American mass media are ever going to allow a Sanders speech on their TV News, or cover a Sanders rally. Here’s why:
https://go.berniesanders.com/page/share/poverty-is-a-death-sentence
Hi Terry, thanks for the link to Sander’s speech. The title “poverty is a death sentence” reminded me of a speech by Henry George “The Crime of Poverty” given more than a hundred years ago, which should also interest you: https://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/009595111
In my opinion, Henry George’s speech is even more emotional and hard hitting than Sander’s. Also, Henry George’s works, especially “Progress and Poverty, an inquiry into the cause of industrial depressions and of increase in want with increase in wealth, the remedy” can also be found in there.
OK, back to Sander’s speech. I see a sincere man who wants to help his country. The main points of his speech are the following:
1) Real unemployment higher than 10%. The need to create millions of decent paying jobs. 1 trillion spent into servicing and rebuilding infrastructures could create 13million jobs.
2) Millions working for low wages. Minimum wage of $7.50 need to be raised to a living wage of $15.
3) Women earing less than man, the need for pay equality.
4) Disastrous trade policies with other countries, especially NAFTA. End them and make corporate America to manufacture in the USA. Need help for affected miners and workers in fossil fuel sector.
5) Need guaranteed health care for all people. Need fix for highest paid price for drugs.
6) Tuition free public colleges and universities to solve student debt problem and empower students for the future. Paid medical and family leave.
7) 70B per year needed for his programs to come from tax on Wall Street speculations. Government policies don’t serve common people but instead serve the rich via campaign contributions and other methods.
8) Need for people to come together to demand change in the status quo.
9) Drugs and prisons.
Now, lets compare that with Trump’s relevant proposals:
1) Trump believes than the real unemployment is much higher, possibly 20% or even more. He also proposed to spend money to fix the neglected infrastructures.
2a) Trump stated he would not change the min wage even though he could state for political purposes raise the min wage to $50/hr. His reasons: any increase will lower the competitiveness of the USA with countries that does currency manipulations. His proposals includes lower corporate taxes and income taxes. Low income families will not need to pay tax. For Trump, his method to improve wages would be to lessen the tax burden while making companies to bring back manufacturing and decent jobs.
2b) The building of the wall and deporting illegal immigrants indirectly will probably affect the min wage. The presence of illegal immigrants signify cheap labor that some people loves to exploit to maximize profits. The end of that will reduce a cross-border downward pressure on wages.
3) Trump stated he is for equal pay.
4) Disastrous trade policies with China, Japan, Mexico, etc. Will renegotiate trade deals using qualified and talented negotiators to bring down trade deficits. Impose 35% tax on imports when companies takes or took manufacturing base out of USA to other countries. Reopen mines.
5) Trump stated he will keep Medicare and Social Security. Repeal and replace Obamacare with a cheaper and more effective program that leaves out the profiteering of Insurance companies.
6) No free tuition. But when asked about student debt, Trump stated the need for low-cost loans to students and the importance of availability of jobs when students graduates.
7) Funding for Trump’s programs would mainly come from reducing the trade deficits, reducing the huge wastes in the government, taxing US companies that went off-shore, demanding reimbursements for US military protection of certain countries and less money spent on foreign adventures. Lower corporate taxes to deal with corporate inversion and bring capital back for investment.
8) Trump is changing the status quo now and he knows it. That’s why he emphasized the need for a big victory to reflect the people’s mandate.
9) Trump’s proposal to deal with the drug problem is well-known: 90-feet concrete wall+ rebar steel.
Trump’s a realist and his proposals reflects it. Here is a thought: Sanders wins the presidency and gets into office. What will happen to him? Will he be able to out-fox and out-gun those neo-cons and remorseless war-mongering freaks and their agents? Will he be even able to carry out any of those proposals he mentioned? Sanders is a nice person with a big heart. He will be easily overwhelmed. That is his main weakness.
Trump knows better and he is a big boss. You may not like him but he is both blunt and daring. His proposals need some time to link and think over. More importantly, to deal with the freaks in power you need someone more sly and ferocious. Trump’s the guy having a reasonable chance to carry out his proposed ideas to help his country.
I see Trump as being roughly on the same page re the re-invigorating of the US economy as Sanders. And that’s key.
The deeper questions of finance – the Federal Reserve banking system – are not being tackled. They are too big and most Americans don’t really understand the issue.
The big question is to tackle corporate tax havens and to close the avoidance loop. When he does that, I will take him more seriously.
I see Trump as a ‘soft’ transition’ from corporate welfare/neo-liberalism/ neo-con war-mongering. Sanders socialism is a move too far for the conservative, Christian, capitalist culture that may have been silenced by the extreme liberalism of the Obama administration, but is now making its voice heard.
The best thing Trump could do is take Sanders into his close circle. I think he hinted he would with his suggestion Sanders should run as an independent.
The best thing Sanders could do if he doesn’t get the nomination is leave the Democratic party. If he does, and loses to Trump, the latter should still take him into the White House.
Separate they are capable of some degree of change. Together they could be real catalysts for the better.
Yes, I also have that idea of Trump + capable Democratic members together. That would be a huge unifying move that will unravel the corrupt 2 party system. Sanders is qualified and if party ideologies are put aside, he can become the force multiplier together with Trump. I’m thinking of congresswoman Tulsi Gabbard too. Elizabeth Warren seems to be exposed to be “all-talk-no-action” now…
Trump unfortunately is using name calling of Sanders as a “communist/socialist” to steer voters, I think, towards him and Hillary. But I agree that Sander’s socialism would not be popular for the conservative and capitalist culture of the USA. USA “won” the cold war and to embrace socialism now would be a funny idea for them.
My scant knowledge of the Federal Reserve System came mainly from Eustace Mullins’ book and writings and only know that the main private ownership of the stock is now dispersed/consolidated in the large banks and foundations. I don’t know what can be done about it other than choosing folks with integrity and qualifications by the President as the board of governors.
Its no secret that he utilized the lower tax rate of Delaware for his companies but that is the key also: he knows the inside workings of large corporations. Hence his statements about corporate inversion and to create conditions to incentivize corporations to bring their capital back into the USA and not choosing the tax avoidance path. That remains to be seen though but at least we know that he will not be influenced by campaign contributors from them!
I don’t expect Trump to perform miracles in curing the decades of corruption and warmongering in the US establishment. He probably will not be the president that finally settles the Israel-Palestinian conflict, though he might actually can do something about it. Just a fresh sane mind and the strong personality to rethink and reduce the destructive path America is going towards more cooperation, in itself alone, probably will save a few million lives in the US and beyond. I don’t hate the US. The American people deserves a good leader, just as I admire the Russian people having their Putin. That’s why for me, Trump could be the Putin of America.
If I recall Henry George’s ideas were very influential with Leo Tolstoy who tried to implement them in Russia.
Hi girls and guys,the Time Machine is here again in the Cafe.I want to apologize to you for my last Cafe meeting with my long and boring post about Gaytriarchy.It was meant to be about the Vatican and her machinations in history till today,but never mind.If somebody is interested in occult things surrounding this entity may try here : http://amazingdiscoveries.org/S-deception-end_time_babylon-tiara-pope
Just few days ago,on a German web-page,somebody posted a comment :
“who stands behind the various world organisations including the EU. I call them Company because all are driven by the same profit.The parent company , alas the Headquarter,is the Vatican itself and the Jesuits in particular. The Jesuit Pope gives the instructions to his”managers” and they execute what he wants.The Vatican,earlier has crowned the kings,today are the political leaders “crowned” by the Vatican.Why do they have an inaugural visit to the Pope only after their election as President or Chancellor ?. Our society is guided by the Vatican and through Jesuits like Juncker,Baroso,Draghi,Monti,Van Rompuy – who openly recognized :”we are all Jesuits”.All important decisions are decided by them.Now who stops them to make the world a peaceful place ? if they want to,they could dissolve NATO tomorrow…”
Our friend Dennis,- whom I wish a long life in good health – has given us again one of the most “exclusive view” on Kudrin appointment :”In geo politics hold your tongue and carry a stick. In sex politics let yourself be penetrated but not desecrated.
I’m a politician without power but if I were a woman I would not sleep with Putin. Too many chess pieces in the bed messing with my head.” …that is so good that it must be posted again here in the Cafe,where it’s her real place to be,for the amusement and admiration of many of us who have some sense of humor and love to laugh not just cry.Thanks Dennis and don’t be angry on me for posting this without asking for your permission.You have talent which must be rewarded,at least with a thank and some good old Cafe.
All those old near eastern cults are mixed up and the symbols still exist today. There were many miraculous conceptions and many reserections. Mary hangs out in a grotto. So did Isis, the great whore of Babylon. Google Santa/Nimrod. What a surprise. Also, I believe Vicar is a Latin word for anti…
The Priests of the Mithras cult wore red robes, had a crooked staff, wore skullcaps, and were addressed as Father. Ring a bell.
All this doesn’t mean the Protestants have it right. That sect is rich with abominations and is pretty much just a cargo cult these days.
Still, the church provides a nice community and it exhorts people to be virtuous. Also, the idea of life after death is comforting.
Must – watch – son of an Israeli general exposes the true history of Israel and is now a Palestinian rights activist:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etXAm-OylQQ&feature=youtube_gdata_player
He is especially well-placed to do so, as his father was one of the main players in both the ’48 and ’67 land-grabs.
@Eimar: Thanks for sharing, very valuable.
This man is couragous!!!!! Better he moves to Russia.
Eimar and Martin, thank you for directing me to the speech of Israeli Miko Peled.
I must say that this brave man (remember: Love = Courage, the Will to ascend to higher consciousness) on this Mother’s Day of May 8, 2016 is THE most powerful expression by the Goddess of True Care that I have heard today, or for that matter, for a long time!
His speech is long 68 minutes 30 seconds, but well, well worth listening to in its entirety on any day, but espoecially TODAY, Mother’s Day. I pause at 42 minutes to say this to those who “have no time, keine zeit, nyet vreminye, no tiengo tiempo apra eso!, etc,etc “:
Skip ahead to ten minutes, 30 seconds, where Miko Pleled shows us the picture of his young mother, born in Jerusalem, now 86, for a minute or two.
There is one incarnation of the Goddess of True Care.
Then skip ahead to her daughter’s remarks, upon the death of her daughter, the grandaughter of her mother, killed by two Palestinian boys who blew up themselves, her daughter Smadar Elhanan, 13 —(1983-1977) —and several other Israeilis. Miko’s sister, and mother of his dead niece Smadar is aked by press packing her apartment for the story of the death of a grandaughter of a famous Israeli general:
” How do you think the death of your daughter should be avenged?”
Miko hears his sister say two things to the Israeil press crowded into her apartment:
1) “No real mother would want this to happen to another mother.”
2) “My (Israeli) government is responsible for the death of my daughter. As long as my government oppresses the Palestinian people to the point that two young boys have no hope and blow themselves up, we will never be free of feeling some part of the despair of the Palestinian people. I point a finger at my own government. (Bibi Netanyahu, was also then the Prime Minister of Israel. )
And that, Vineyard visitors and Goddess seekers, IS the goddess of True Care speaking to us on Mother’s Day.
And that fact, and who expressed these words (daughter of famous Israeli General Peled, in Jerusalem in 1997 repeated in this speech by her brother Miko in 2012, and posted here by Eimar, makes her appearance in this Cafe quite remarkable and synchronistic, IMHO.
Happy Mother’s Day!! Or should I say, Day of True Care!

Thank you for sharing Eimar. It gives hope that change is possible watching the video. Some time ago I saw this speech of an other Israeli soldier, in my eyes also a hero. After his wake up to reality he joined Breaking the Silence, an organization of veteran Israeli soldiers working to raise awareness about the daily reality in the Occupied Territories. Raised in a military family he tells his story how he realized he was on the wrong side and was discharged from the army. We need more of these hero’s in Israel to heal the darkness from whithin by having the courage to tell the truth.
An Israeli soldier’s story
Do any of you feel the searing heat of frustration I feel when I find report after report of the absolute horror that is going on? If I could write a short message to my representative in the Congress, one that I was sure would be read by that person, instead of shunted into the round-file by hireling gate-keepers, this is what I would say:
Dear Representative Foxx:
I believe that the administration in the executive branch is an accomplice in international terror and murder and organized crime. I believe the one who is the so-called President is PERSONALLY supportive of negotiations with known terrorists and murderers, who have been involved with genocide, crimes against humanity and violent overthrow of sovereign nations. There is no way a moral person with the slightest notion of justice can stand by and remain silent while this is going on, carried out on a daily basis throughout this world. We cannot abide a planet that is being turned into hell in our name!
I believe the Congress is directly responsible and complicit because so far you have refused to act when it is your duty to do so. You do NOTHING to rein him in, you continue to allow funding, and resist any attempt to impeach him or prosecute him for numerous crimes of malfeasance, treason, and conspiracy.
This is why you have zero credibility and almost no confidence from the people of America, or any other country for that matter.
If you DO NOT agree, then kindly refute all the reportage that’s now available which points to your crimes, with solid and objective examples of what you are actually doing to stop this insanity and madness sourced from hell and the devil himself.
Signed, “X”
Why do they get away with this stuff? It’s as plain as can be what’s going on. It begins in our cities and towns where in most cases the government of them is absolutely abominable and if the corruption is found there, what should we expect to find higher up in our states and in Washington? Moral and patriotic governance? I think not. So, when you get down to brass tacks, the answer to this corruption is found staring back at us from the mirror. Righting these wrongs does not ever hinge on who we elect as the president; it never did, and if we think so, our emphasis is misplaced.
I’ve seen some stupid idiots talking in the US. But this cretin,Wesley Clark, may take the prize. He makes a speech saying that “NATO won’t surrender if Russia Nukes Warsaw”. And saying that type of idea is what Russia is thinking. Foolish,foolish,man,Russia won’t Nuke Warsaw,Russia will Nuke the US “and” Warsaw if war breaks out. And then we’ll see if NATO surrenders or not. If the thinking in the US leadership is that the Nukes will only fly in Europe,then that is a mistake that will cost them their lives.And Russia needs to come out and make that crystal clear to them. Don’t let them continue to think foolishly that they will escape the Nukes. If they think that way, they won’t have any reason to not push for war.They “urgently” need to be corrected in that type of insane thinking before its too late for us all.
https://www.rt.com/usa/342178-russia-nuke-warsaw-clark/
“And Russia needs to come out and make that crystal clear to them.” that would imply an open political statement by the Russian Foreign Ministry – namely by Mr. Lavrov,to have weight – if any such response on that level will be.Watching the actual hand-shake policy in the US-Russia relations,we’ll have to wait for that to happen.
Uncle Bob,
Here are a few pieces of information about General Wesley Clark.
A Presidential candidate in 2004,
General Wesley Clark, one of those completely unhinged Washingtonians, former Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) and Friend of the Clintons. Was called the Hammer of the Serbs. He led the international alliance called NATO in its 78-day blitz war against Yugoslavia. Attempted to bomb the CNN bureau in Belgrade and ordered the British General Michael Jackson to engage Russian troops in combat at the end of the NATO war on Yugoslavia.

Here is a quote from an uber-animal about unter-animals
“Military men are just dumb, stupid animals to be used as pawns in foreign policy.”

Regards, Spiral
Thanks Spiral. We are achieving a density of ideas to break the lower consciousness of fear. I posted the same quote of Dr K 8 days ago here: /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-30/comment-page-1/#comment-233359 in rsponse to Vercia from Venezuela.
Please see my analysis of US versus Russian military medals to get a gestalt of what is running the evil Dr K and his present day minions. therein DC and the Pentagon.
Cyberspace has to become so filled with truth from people who can read that language (symbols) that many of those the dark occultists call “our dogs” in the military, the FBI, the NSA have the same reaction (” I want to puke!” ) as a friend of mine who almost joined the Navy Seals @ 35 years ago.
Thanks Scott,yes I’ve known about him for years now. One of the “worst of the worst”. I think part of the purpose of his little speech was to “sow Russophobia” in Polish soil (always,at all times,fertile soil for that type of crop).He could have picked anywhere for his little bombing example. But he knew using the Polish capital for it would give him more “bang for the buck” for propaganda.
@ Uncle Bob: The deep state war party is preparing a power grab internally ( Dick Cheney endorsed Trump the other day so they have their plan “B” for the US elections) as well as a war with Russia externally which they believe is necessary for the survival of their economic system.
Europe is expendable, yes. the Mid East is already lost except for Israel but that is costing them 3B plus more a year. And your assessment is sadly, very sadly for me sitting on an old Soviet strike zone in California with a bulls eye marked on it, correct. These US leaders are psychotic. The global economic crisis is beginning to crack open.
As for the penetration gagsters: Remember in sexual politics “if you lie down with dogs, you wake up flees ( or worse) ” Ha ha ??? What Putin is going to do with Kudrin has everything to do with virtue….what he did with smarmy Khodorkofsky, letting him free to ooze around USA and Europe, has everything to do with letting a used tart out to try to ply her trade when her time is over.
More will be revealed.
Yes,I live in one of the strike zone areas as well (a fact I constantly remember). I have a Russian friend I’ve talked with since the coup in Ukraine. He’s from Siberia,and he and others in his area are very anti-fascist and support Donbass 100% (with money and sending volunteers to fight). His father was in the Soviet Nuclear force. And he told me two years ago that at that time there was a list (I’m sure its been updated since then) that had over 300 target locations in the US for strikes, if the “unthinkable” had to happen. And my city (because of the military base nearby) was one of the top ten.I’m pretty sure that 99.9% of the people in my city have no idea about that fact.The population in the US need to be made aware that if Russia is forced into war, their very lives are at stake.I have no doubt the US has a similar list of target areas inside Russia too. Hence,the famous MAD doctrine that kept us all safe for 70 years.But the current neo-con “hyena’s” that have taken control in the US are so full of hubris and the exceptional ideology that they have disregarded the constraints that kept us all safe. It needs to be made “crystal clear” to people in the US that a World War caused by US insanity and lust for World domination won’t be fought outside the US alone. But would without doubt visit them “up close and personal”. That is the only way to bring some sense into peoples heads and stop the neo-con agenda. Before ,whether by plan,or just stupidity,they bring on the “unthinkable” to us all.
I have been wondering about ‘strike zones” but have not read or heard anything specific. Can you inform me of what and how you know of specific places in this regard?
Thanks,
K
Russia does not need to nuke the US population. It may be sufficient to take out the dysfunctional US government. If Russia will be directly attacked by NATO, I bet that the Pentagon and the White House will turn to ashes. The NATO answer will then decide whether the western people survive. Any revenge in response to this overdue cancer cure will turn the US and supporting allies to ashes too.
I think Russia made this already crystal clear to everybody with ears and some functioning gray matter in between, though without uttering direct threats that would only feed the raging fire.
@ Marcel Leutenegger
“If Russia is attacked directly by Nato…”
Russia is already under attack – not open military warfare – but many forms of attack well honed by the US warlords from countless cases all over the world for many years, from NGOs infiltration, incessant propaganda, economic and financial wars and other sub-reptilian forms of hostile acts.
Do you remember what happened to Japan? For about 10 years before Pearl Harbor (which, incidentally, was well know by the US that the Japanese intended to strike the base) Japan was in the same boat: vilified as midget sub-humans, economic sanctions and blockades and the whole rigmarole of underhand activities to leave Japan with no choice but to attack because the survival of the nation was a stake. And everything went as the US had planned to bait Japan into a war which it could not win and transform the Pacific Ocean as an US lake.
The PNAC (Project for a New American Century) is on course and the only credible obstacle (Russia) is being gradually removed by hook or by crook.
Yes, I know that Russia is under constant attack. But it is not yet worth blowing back militarily because casualties are low. In contrast to Japan during the second world war, Russia does not aspire to become an empire. For this reason, dragging Russia into direct hot war with NATO by indirect means did not succeed – and won’t.
However, if Russia will find itself under direct military attack, I bet it will incinerate the command structure of the attackers without further notice. This will include the financial centers backing and/or inciting the attack. Thus, if a country wants an economic and political reset, it only needs to open fire into Russian territory.
For NATO member states that seek to avoid this fate, I have only one advice: quit NATO as soon as possible and stop messing around in foreign territories. This advice stays unchanged since 15 years and it won’t change until NATO dissolves.
I agree with your astute observation regarding General Clark’s inflammatory comment.
DM Shoygu and his staff are fully aware of US/NATO four prong strategy to bleed Russia regarding: (1) attempts to thwart air operations in Syria using terrorist proxies crossing the border from Turkey, (2) NATO ground forces conducting drills in Latvia, Estonia, Georgia, etc., (3) U.S. ships in the Baltic and Black Seas harassing naval ports of Kaliningrad and Crimea, (4) disruption of humanitarian and military support for Donetsk and Luhansk regions in the Ukraine. One or more of these areas can become “hot spiked” to divert attention away from an unknown primary target.
Russia knows all too well a defensive posture will only play into the hands of the U.S. She will not allow herself to be mired in a protracted regional conflict. Putin will show the world the lies of Washington’s justification to attack and then counterattack the war planning center and ports of naval power on the eastern and western seaboards of the U.S. It will be massive, thorough, devastating and demoralize the Pentagon high command and the politicos who dream of a unipolar world controlled by the west.
With your comment you opened my eyes and I have to rectify my post from 2:28 pm :
“if any such response on that level will be.Watching the actual hand-shake policy in the US-Russia relations,we’ll have to wait for that to happen.” because if we go back to previous soviet and Russian presidents,they have spoken out very harshly,with open threats against US and NATO,but all remain on the same path for the seek of peace.Yeltsin speak out the same threats regarding the Yugoslav war against NATO but did nothing.The Empire felt empowered by his pursuit and by the lack of factual answer from Russia.With the emerging of Putin,things have changed.He is not going the way his former predecessors gone.He is not using threats,he is silent or polite.And that is more dangerous for the US and the West in general for they don’t know what is in his mind.Meanwhile as he is quiet,he is preparing in quiet for the eventual response and that response will be hard.Why should he barking all the way just to do nothing at the end ? that would be a political self shot in the leg.
Been reading Carl Oglesby’s Yankee Cowboy War which I highly recommend. I can’t go into too much detail, because my desktop is opposite the smart meter and I don’t like pulsed microwaves. The main value in the book is the analytic framework. After reading, it becomes clear why US policy is a slow motion train wreck. I’d just like to encourage folks to search out old and out of print books.
I was feeling adrift after doing my usual morning chores before breakfast. I felt pulled to come here but thought it too early for another cafe move. Also I felt guilty about using the cafe inordinately. I sat thinking just drifting. But you’re too much for me and so I came on in and was surprised to see a picture from the past. I felt at home but still guilty.
Part of my routine is reading a book on the philosophy of love. The author is talking about the flesh and its erotics. I had this thought that behind these cold screens is flesh and blood. Another chore is to do some writing, and the present card up is about stars. The thing about us here with our own sun daystar is that we’re on an earth mostly of water and life and that spells flesh according to love philosophy apparently.
A comment above spoke of fear of the unknown. That evoked the thought that what is unknown is our own flesh and blood and therefore sex.
I feel guilty about sex and in some respects don’t like it and fear it. Another thought I’m having is stopping the empire’s war on Russia as our prime directive. I shorten it to “stop the empire” for convenience. That “dove”tails with Bro Anon’s post about active care in outflanking the empire.
There are just so many ideas demanding attention from me, you and everyone. But they kind of coalesce in stopping the empire. Yet, that’s negative. What’s the positive? Empire is such a huge force. I’m a very small one. So the opposite of empire might be what? Impire? I’m kind of an imp, say, like a fairy or goblin, getting in the empire’s face, bothering it, distracting it; sort of what Bro Anon is describing, a kind of guerrilla warfare.
But then what are my weapons? Mine is love, yours is the goddess, yours is facts on the ground, yours is prayer, yours is analysis, yours is this and yours is that. Many different weapons that harass the empire by impires that are small. Sounds ridiculous but ridicule is already much in use.
Something else is bothering me that I want to get off my chest before breakfast. I’ve got ideas that I’m holding back out of fear of offending. It’s not good for my health; and I think they’re vital for the health of all. This situation makes me anxious and confused. Even abused.
I ran into Zorba the Greek yesterday walking the street. He said: “Brother, we can’t save the world; it has to save itself.” I agreed with him but then realized my mistake. Rather than get into a long discussion about the matter I let it pass. It’s only half true. Oh man, I don’t want to get into that philosophical loop here. Let it pass for now.
I don’t think the concept of gaytriarchy is boring at all. It’s negative but sexually potent. Stopping the empire is a sexual matter at base. That’s where it starts and ends. We’ve repressed it so far down in deep water that when we decompress on the way up we get the bends if we don’t take it slow.
The goddess is sexual if anything at all. Venus was the goddess of loves with her doves. So was Isis. But for me they’re all way too close to the Gaytriarch with his velvet gloves. Man, I can’t explain that now in a cafe of words. I’ve just got to fall in love first.
Let me think about as I do the rounds: eat the fruit, walk the talk, go to the club (athletic), lift two pound weights, admire and imitate the hulks. One next to my bench lift was a hulk pushing ninety pounds with each hand. His lifter shirt said: I’m just plain nasty. On my other side bench pressing was beauty lifting twenty pounds with each arm. I was in the middle pressing two pounds. How do you think I felt? Pathetic, that’s what. Well my excuse was I have a sore right breast but I can lift more.
Then I went to the pool filled with tennis jocks (a tennis academy coinhabits with the club), I guess about seventeen average age. So young so strong so vital. I hear the young women outnumber them but unfortunately they were not swimming that day. All that sexual potency tightly wrapped in. No wonder the gaytriarchy had to altar it with marriage and property after circumscribing one sex and circumcising the other. See, gaytriarchy is not boring unless boring down to a level unexamined.
I’m beginning to hate myself as a smart alec. Not a good sign. As Bro says: keep on moving like a moveable feast cafe. I can’t figure out if I love it here or am just plain addicted. I tried to break it off but keep coming back for more. See you later, instigator.
Dennis, you are a comic genius..lol

A question for the venerable Saker, or anyone else who might no the answer.
What does the SAA do with captured rebel/ Daesh fighters, especially the foreign ones. Are they interrogated, and then executed ? Are there interment camps ? As a matter of disclosure, I would personally slit the throats of any foreigners who raped, killed, and pillaged my people. However, I am very curious about this question.
@ Mieszko I
“What does the SAA do with captured rebel/ Daesh fighters”
Here is the answer. The captured Daesh fighters are immediately handed over to Putin and Lavrov, who then use them for humanitarian exchanges with their parnters (next door or a little further) to the west. The exchange currency is apparently immaterial, could be US government bonds, western elite club memberships, cash, micro-reductions of sanctions, or even captured Russian soldiers. Remember Savchenko, Khodorkovski and who knows how many other successes. And don’t worry, things will only improve under Kudrin.
Do you have any sources for this?
Are you sure they arent used for intelligence-gathering before being handed into Syrian gov custody?
Eimar, I thought the sarcasm was quite transparent (Putin and Lavrov fully deserved it)…
But come to think, one gotta be careful: a 1938 radio broadcast of H.G. Wells’ “War of the Worlds” scared the wits out of millions of Americans – who believed the Martian invasion was real!… :) :) :)

Kurds seem to get a few wounded ones that they keep, what happens to them in the longer term, I don’t know.
” Syrian cease-fire in Latakia province & Aleppo extended for 72 hours
The cease-fire in Syria’s northern Latakia province and the city of Aleppo is to last three additional days starting from May 7, according to a statement issued by the Russian Center for Reconciliation of the warring parties in Syria published on Russia’s Defense Ministry’s website. “In order to prevent the escalation of the conflict, upon Russia’s initiative, the ceasefire in the northern regions of the Latakia province and in the city of Aleppo is extended for 72 hours starting from 12.01 am local time, May 7,” the statement reads. The ceasefire in Aleppo was introduced on May 4, and was supposed to last two days. The hostilities in northern Latakia were put on hold in April when a Washington-Moscow brokered ceasefire came into effect. ”
This is awesome !!! Now Al Nusra , and all the other head choppers, can resupply and carry out some more counterattacks. Thanks Lavrov you poodle. I’m sure your “partners” in the west are laughing their a***s off.

“A Roman thought hath struck him” said Cleopatra about Antony. A similar thought struck me. Time to leave the Egyptian couch of luxury, seduction and sorcery. Caesar is up in arms and Pompey rules the sea. She will make a scene but there’s no if, but and in between.
I’ve got ten divisions of ten thousand each. The enemy has fifty divisions, maybe one hundred. Let him have more. Doesn’t matter.
Stalin asked how many divisions the Pope had. The USSR is gone. The Pope is still there in his chair; has seen empires come and go. He plays up on another level.
My men have the high ground. This division is the elite one, a Russian spetsnaz of the mind. Division One is Thought. Not any thought but the thought of love under the command of the Lover. You have clinical, critical and cortical thinking. Then there’s clitoral thinking. Yes, that’s right. No mistake. That’s the thinking that wins this war.
Women and men have a clitoris. Women’s is mostly hidden. Men’s is inside the penis. The clitoris is the organ of love, the most powerful of all human faculties. Pleasure is its operational code and mode.
Patriarchy and gaytriarchy have done all in their power to suppress these natural facts. If this information becomes available the empire is doomed. We had it once but lost it.
The informational energy is blocked by fear, shame, guilt, denial, punishment, jokes and a thousand other defenses. The first division of thought breaks through the enemy’s first line of defense which combines all defenses into a war of terror.
There’s much more to it but too much too soon blows too many circuits. I’ll take a break and brake it down to a fantasy that has a bitter truth within.
The empire has a bunker under the hills of Transylvania not far from Dracula’s Castle. No one dares mention it. The security is impenetrable. Within is the headquarters of Czar Khazar. Vast computers and war rooms abut secret boardrooms. Geniuses man communications and psychopaths run the courier spy system. The masterplan is world control at any cost.
With the mere thought of love I can penetrate the impenetrable. Here’s how it works. I transform myself into a dove, an ancient icon of love associated with the goddess of love, Venus. But Venus is too slow so I take on the substance of a lover under the cover of a dove.
This dove that is me can pass through walls and be invisible. Thus I go into the bastion of evil. I find two workers, a captain and a lieutenant, working on a part of the plan. Using the captain’s voice I say “love.” The lieutenant says: “what did you say?” The captain says: “nothing.” Time passes. I do it again. The lieutenant says: “stop it, I’m not in a joking mood.” I do it again. The lieutenant orders the captain in an angry tone to leave the building which he does. I say the word love louder in the captain’s voice. The lieutenant’s head snaps around as he drops his pen. He scowls and says: “What are those damn Russians up to now?”
OK, it’s not that funny but it illustrates that there are fun ways to mess with the enemy’s plans. The thought of love can go anywhere anywhen with powerful power. To train a division in this technique takes several years of intense practice, much longer than regular boot camp and special forces training. It takes a fit body, emotions and mind.
After awhile it just happens as a habit. I like the story of Jesus who was walking in a crowd. A woman with a bleeding problem said to herself: “If I but touch the hem of his garment, I will be healed.” Jesus stopped and looked around. He said: “Who has touched me for I felt power go out.” Weeping the woman confessed and Jesus said she was healed. He turned to the apostles and said: “If you have the love of this woman you can move mountains with the thought.”
Lenin is reported to have said on his deathbed that if he had had ten St. Francis’s he could have saved Russia. Maybe the Pope planted the story. Who cares? The point still sticks.
On my way today I stopped at the Farmer and Cook cafe. Reminded me of you. Then I passed between the Ojai Cafe Emporium on one side of the street and the Ojai Vineyard wine tasting place on the other. Reminded me of you. I saw lovers all around. Reminded me of you. A Roman thought struck me today. Reminded me of you.
So who has deleted all the Comments..if Clark is having another – can someone tell him to put it all back
I do realise Craig Murray has probably been pissing off an extremely small number of very powerful people recently…
by simply speaking the truth as best he can.
but no matter whatever religion you are on…please do not deliberately inflict pain for no other reason that you actually like inflicting pain in whatever is your chosen profession
I do not do that..I have always been very slow and gentle..I have never gained any pleasure by inflicting pain on another human being..
its just the evil slugs I want to have a discussion with – if I can stand the smell.

Great stuff,one needs to listen these songs from time to time,they are a good feedback for the fighting spirit
The Times goes full speed against the Iran deal.
The NY Times has in its magazine of this week a portrait of Ben Rhodes, the “Assistant to the President and Deputy National Security Advisor for Strategic Communications and Speechwriting.” of the Obama administration (“The Aspiring Novelist Who Became Obama’s Foreign-Policy Guru”). It is a full blown attack against the Iran deal.
One can only be puzzled what moved Rhodes to invite the author – David Samuels – to report on his work. Maybe Rhodes, who once studied creative writing, saw in him a kindred spirit. Anyway, the article is a hatchet job, and its main target is the Iran deal, that Samuels obviously hates.
Rhodes switched to International Relations after 9/11 and has since built quite a reputation for his ability to understand complex situations. He pplayed an important role in writing the report of the Iraq Study Group and was closely involved in the negotiations with Iran. Yet Samuels paints him as an amateur writer who – because he never studied international relations – isn’t qualified to have anything to do with international relations. Never mind that Clinton and Kerry didn’t study international relations either. Never mind that he worked in the field for almost 15 years.
But it becomes worse. He accuses Rhodes of lying to sell the Iran deal in the US. He uses the classical straw man argument tactic, first suggesting that the deal was sold as the result of the election of “moderates” in Iran and then claiming that much of the agreement was aleady settled before. In fact everyone knew that there were negotiations before 2012. The election of Rouhani just made it easier to conclude and sell the deal.
All over the internet one can now find articles demonizing Rhodes and claiming that we were lied to about the Iran deal.
Usually the moderation of comments section of the Times is rather objective, trying to give both sides in a discussion a voice. This article is among the 5% exceptions: only comments critical of Rhodes and the Iran deal are published.
Top of the morning to ya all. Got up at 5. Rooster crowin’. First dawn paleness. 50 degrees F. Made fire in woodstove.
Comin’ in under the patriotic national anthems. That’s Hemingway? We’re in good company. Wanted to follow up on what I said above, just for the record.
Quotes are from the Poet, Bob Dylan, aka Robert Zimmerman, unless otherwise noted by name or context.
“I’m recruiting my army of tough sons of bitches
Raising an army from the old religious”
“I’ve been to Saint Herman’s [her man]
Said my religious vows
Sucked the milk of a thousand cows”
“I’m not afraid to make love
To a witch or a hag”
We’re raising an army of ten divisions, 10,000 women and men in each for 100,000 strong. The first division is that of Thought. We think not just with our head but with hands, feet, belly, genitals, clitoris, heart, throat and full body aura, as in the sidebar of Christ in the vulva aura reaching out to patriarch on one hand and gaytriarch on the other.
Christ is the Commander in Chief who said: “I give you a new commandment: love your enemy.” He walked his talk right up to the cross and asked his Father to forgive them since “they know not what they do.”
The Thought is clitoral thinking. Women and men have a clitoris. Source: Eve’s Secrets by Josephine Lownden Sevely. That means thinking with pleasure.
Lovelogical subdivisions of thought are body, mind and spirit. We can make love and have sex in the mind without the physical body. Overall, the whole love universe is sexual.
I love the enemy, the empire at it’s worst, a disgusting slug as in one of the comments above. My love thoughts go into the heart of the beast. I am beauty having sex and making love with the beast. My clitoris is engaged and engorged with pleasure in this most intimate act of the information energy war.
My Commander commanded it. “As a man thinketh in his heart so he will become.” The heart is a transfiguration of the triangle of womam, a euphemism for sex. “This is a hard saying and many turned away and no longer followed him.”
That’s OK. There will be another day. The Lover is “terrible as an army in battle array.” Song of Songs. Not everyone can fight on the front lines. Even a single thought in that direction helps. It takes years to become a soldier in the ranks of love.
“Thinking makes it so.” Shakespeare. Not just thinking. There are nine other divisions waiting in the wings. Cold for lack of action. But it’s coming.
I send my thoughts to the hot spots on the wings of doves. Serendipity of martial poetics. Love and dove go hand in glove. Dove wings and angel wings form vulva lipped flowers of love. Sailors tough as nails have wings as their sails. Soldiers with iron guts wade through lovish ruts.
When the going gets rough love needs to be tough. Tough love soft as a dove. As our love ancestors knew by experience, the dove is a sign of the crescent waxing and waning moon and womam’s belly. But more to the point of love, it is a symbol of the womam’s winged vulva. And even deeper it is the hidden clitoris with its head, arms and legs transubstantiated as the humam body with its five extensions.
The empire hates free thought and even more free sexual thought. It’s been making war on love for 75,000 years in this human dispensation. It’s a tough nut to crack so it’s going to take tougher nuts and guts to get the job done. And it has to be nurtured in the gentlest of vineyards protected by the strongest bird of prey, a saker.
The world today is being preyed upon by blood suckers and letters. It may not survive and we may be left hanging in a limbo of regret for a very long time unless we fight by our rules, not by his. There’s an army being formed and will soon be on the move. Like a cafe moveable feast into the territory of the beast.
“The empire hates free thought and even more free sexual thought.” maybe,but the Empire is using the sexual thought all over the world through internet.There are some 22 million web-pages with sexual content.This is part of their agenda,to distract and obstruct the people – mostly young – from
the realities of their evil doing.Even the normal sexuality is desecrated – as you said – in such a way,that the romance-love-sexuality is excluded,perverted,families are disintegrated,the number of divorces are on the high scale never herd of before.It’s like an invitation on a large scale,openly staged orgy.The sexuality is fine for everybody but it is very intimate,it is the business of two.Making us to watch like some cuckolds kids on perversions of various forms – unimaginable for many of us who are older – is one of the “greatest achievement” from the side of the Empire.This the Gaytriarchy in his/her full power.One of the “greatest weapon” of mass -distraction in our times.They – the Empire – knows very well what for are we lusting,he is very smart,he has succeeded in destroying the Soviet Empire – the only one who could offer a better,a normal way of life even in this sense of sexuality.Look at the animals,are they behaving in the way of humans,are they continuously lusting for sex ? Are the elefants lusting to have sex with a horse
or a dog with a chicken ? are they mixing for the sake of sex-curiosity – if they are mixing at all ?
Only the human beings are so curious for that “fruit” which is not theirs.This is a typical human behavior,to lusting for what he has not.Not just in sex but generally,going hand in hand with the lust for power,lust for owning something – more and more – “which is mine “they say.The Love is a beautiful thing,falling in love is a beautiful feeling – soul and body are together – and in truth.
That truth disappears when only the body takes the lead.In that case we are in loved with a body.
And after being fed with that body,we lust for other body to fed us.So at first be betray the soul of our loved one then we betray the body of our loved one,when at the beginning we were one body and one soul in Love,together.Conclusion : is our body so overwhelmingly important over our soul
that the latter could be neglected and put aside ? well,the reverse is the truth,without neglecting the body – but not giving him the authority to reign over our souls.The war is going on,and this is a very important battlefield to keep a healthy balance in your life.
I hope you guys, Dennis, ioan and friends are saving your longer writings.

Thanks. You point out something I said that needs correction. I said the empire hates free sexuality. The empire certainly hates freedom that is responsible, strong and opposed to what it is doing. The porn you referred to is irresponsible, perverted and sick in too many ways to count. That is not freedom but slavery to lust and it plays into the hand of the sicker masters.
So what is responsible free sexuality? That is a delicate question but one that needs an answer. Let me try to give my opinion and please disagree if you have a different view.
Patriarchy invented marriage as a way to balance free and responsible sexuality. It works pretty well for many people. But as you pointed out, divorce is on the rise. This indicates that there is something about marriage that does not work.
Marriage and the nuclear family is under attack from many angles. Paytriarchy now encourages the breakdown of traditional sexual morality because it now feels confident that it can maintain control and break down remaining resistance. It has adopted a new sex plan of chaos.
Patriarchy invented marriage and the nuclear family to destroy what went before, namely the love culture which was womam-focal, matri-lineal and small community structured with many interacting small groups. The love and sex was communal with all members participating according to responsible rules. There was no marriage or property laws connected to it.
Patriarchal men were threatened by free and responsible sex. To implement their program of control they needed to change the rules of sex. They destroyed womam governed sex rites in the shrines. They killed womem who did not cooperate with the new system. They killed anything that resisted, as the bible and ancient texts attest.
To get the power they needed they also killed animals and sacrificed them to the gods they created. They began the first psy-ops operation. Patriarchy (and gaytriarchy) has gotten stronger and more clever until we have what we have today: sophisticated lying and killing.
Patriarchy hates and fears communitarian sex because it is the basis of a strong community that resists patriarchy. The problem is that we all look through patrix glasses now and have little idea of responsible and free communal sex. Because that has been destroyed we have all the perversions of sex imaginable. Marriage and the family offers some resistance to empire but it is being eroded fast. It’s ironic that marriage was instituted by patriarchy and is now abandoned by it because it is considered a resistance now.
This is a complicated topic and easily misunderstood. I plan to talk about it more here in subsequent cafes as part of my own strategy of resistance. Traditional mores have a deep flaw in them which patriarchy is now exploiting. It’s going to be increasingly hard for families, even in Russia.
I am in favor of communal sex but because we have lost a love context for it, it is non-existent in our world today. Still, we can think about it as an ideal or ideology. It is only one piece on a very large chessboard, probably the most important one.
I used to be into group sex for a short time but it’s a real bummer without a love context. Swinging and partying sexually is a disaster as far as health goes or a sane society.
Sex is where it’s at as far as stopping the empire. The war of the sexes is only going to get worse and it will feed the war of all against all.
Thanks for your reply. We have to give this matter some serious thought in our overall resistance to empire.
I agree sex is important but I have a different take on it, neither prudish nor libertine. I don’t know about the glories of matriarchy you often allude to, so I am quite unsure of what you are talking about, and therefore cannot weigh or judge what I can’t even put on the scales to look at or balance.
I do know that savage depopulation is on the NWO agenda, so it clearly serves that agenda to undermine hetero-sexuality and traditional marriage and family formation, make Caitlin Jenner a hero, anyone that doesn’t applaud her/him/it a fascist, etc.
On the other hand I think that birth control is a good thing so that sexuality between two young people that care for each other need not be delayed a decade or more, nor marriage undertaken in one’s late teens or early twenties simply to accommodate a couple’s urges, when economics and other factors would have them marry later, when more mature, more experienced, more ready to partner with one other person for decades.
I find it very difficult to disagree with this video: https://youtu.be/UxpVwBzFAkw
which you may find very disturbing and confrontational to your thesis! It is titled :
Why Women Destroy Civilizations
And what was new in it for me was the 80/20 rule, in former times or centuries or millenia ago: Namely that 80% of women would pair up with the top dominant 20% of males, even at the cost of sharing him with other “wives” rather than settle for some relative “loser” (which is how they would see the other 80% of males…..)leaving nearly all women able to conceive children, but most males uncoupled, ending up as the dead end of their genetic “line”. I think what we’ve had in the industrial age was an improvement on that!
How does this critique of women undermining jibe with all the Goddess worship of the last 2 weeks in the Vineyard, which I admit to instigating?
Well first of all the Goddess ain’t Marilyn Monroe or Raquel Welch or some voluptuous centerfold that might be unfolded. It’s an ancient allegory for True Care, The Sacred Feminine in every human being, female or male,AND the right hemisphere of every person’s brain. Women have that more readily than we men do, HOWEVER they also have a more constraining biology (now we are talking flesh or earth, not spirit!) and in an average female that is not quite an approximation of the Goddess in her ideal form, the female Ego responding to those needs and constraints just may be more evident in her behavior than her sublimest spiritual potentialities!! Be realistic!
The NWO is a cult of controllers and (literally) pricks ( I mean what else is DICK Cheney????) who use fear to create the same left brain imbalance that they suffer from, in the majority of their victims. But that doesn’t mean that you swing violently to the other end of things and go into right brain imbalance!! They do THAT to their victims also! With religion, with New Age BS that brainwashes people to “feel positive” and NOT act!!!
People look at this guy, with his T-Shirt and pony tail, and assume (ass—-u—-me) that he is “New Age”. NOT!!!!!!!!!. New Age was cooked up by the dark occult to put people into passive right brain imbalance, neutralizing their potential resistance. If anyone you know is steeped in New Age BS, watching this a few times will do wonders for them. Mark breaks it down for you:
https://youtu.be/zZvBknPV6hk in 7 hours. “New” Age Bulls**t The Attack on the Sacred Masculine.
The counter-offensive is balancing the left brain AND right brain. Then you are creating individuals that are just as intelligent as these imperialist pricks but infinitely more creative! Because that is right brain as well as left brain activation and they, the imperialists ain’t got that right brain thing going, AT ALL. It is dead in them. That is why and how they Do Not CARE!!!
Well,I’m glad we succeeded to have a serious discussion on this important issue.In the following Cafe’s we will return certainly to this but we have to be careful not to hijack the entire Cafe in case others are not interested by joining in.I can understand them by the way,this is not a street fight with fire brigades brought in,or Bruce Lee in “The fists of Furry”

re: this discussion about sex and love and eros and agape. Sex can not be addressed without a full discussion of power in society and this means power on all levels… look at who is defining the male idea of “beauty” these days—the gay-run fashion industry? The people writing stupid scripts for Sex and the City? The porn people? And we all know of course that beauty equals femininity. In my eyes one of the most feminine people on TV is Gayane Chichakayan who is no fashion model/Trump-wife type. If you want to see and understand the power of the compassionate feminine watch this woman.
The Latest Casualty From Europe’s Anti-Immigrant Surge: Austrian Chancellor Faymann Resigns

Game changer for the EU?
Wow,I didn’t watched the ORF today,only the parade in Moscow on RT.Now I have the program for today evening,thanks Martin
Hi. I just wanted to check in and see what’s happening before I go for my walk and workout. What I see is amazing. Sex and love have been put on the front burner and already there is fear of the whole house burning down. Bro Anon seems to have started the fire with the goddess. Others worry that the house will be hi-jacked. You know what this reaction is of course: denial.
Sex is where it’s at if we want to stop the empire’s war. Maybe we really don’t because it’s just too much fun watching war from afar. War after all is a sick displacement of sex.
Unless I deceive myself, I want to stop the war. I either make war or I make love. Sure there’s a lot of middle/muddle ground, but them, baby, are the choices.
I’ve got to run but you’ve given me a lot to chew on as I walk and talk to myself. Looking forward to coming back here later where the “sun also rises.” Feels like Hemingway is here also and in love he is no doubt.
Oh, I checked the first part of that video, Anon, and wow, women will bring down this civilization in deed. But that’s a complicated Hemingway plot indeed. Love, love and more love!
The tricky part for our sisters and daughters is between about 14 and 42, when the Biological Clock is ticking louder and louder in both hemispheres of their brains. Try maintaining Goddess of True Care for Humanity Consciousness with that going on inside you! It’s pretty much every potential goddess for herself in the competition for a man that won’t stray like a dog, the first chance he gets. Which is a rare and especially hard to find person.
We males don’t have that huge terrifying clock pounding in our brain with every beat of our hearts. We have different obstacles in our way. Like trying to figure these fascinating beauties out, with our mostly left brain imbalanced male consciousness. Some like Ernest Hemingway try seriously 3-4 or more times and then die alone.
At least EH was on the right side of a war or two, even when he was “sleeping with the enemy” having sex with his pro-Franco wife! So plug that into your either sex or war formula!
Complicated indeed! LOL. Care, care, and more care.
Dennis,don’t be upset,you see,teranam 13 is there : ” Sex can not be addressed without a full discussion of power in society and this means power on all levels…” and he has interest in holding or rather upgrading our discussion.The more initiative,the better the dialog.As you probably see,I run here and there to watch and read all kind of reports and comments in the gardens of the vineyard,sometimes commenting myself doing my best not to hurt the audience and anyway to keep in touch with the evolving events regarding Russia.Interesting,Russia is not my home,I’m not Russian,don’t know the language but surely I love Russia even if she has no idea of me.It’s like a woman I’m in love with.I know she’s not perfect,she’s making mistakes,she’s flirting with other “partners”,but she is under pressure from within and from outside,she needs to be loved,with true love.So I’m a cuckold,loving her from distance and from within the garden,sometimes with anger and militancy.
Re: conscious male/conscious female The Sufis have a tradition of telling stories which like pictures convey subconscious or superconscious truths to the conscious mind. Nasruddin tales are wonderful. Now Nasruddin is a Holy fool and his wife is his caretaker/companion and truly is his match–no either/or dichotomy. Here is one of my favorite stories:
Nasruddin was tired of being so penniless so one day her approached his wife for her blessing saying,
Wife of my heart I have agreed to join a caravan and will be gone for over a year but I will bring back so much treasure to our house.”
She smiled and said, ” Go and Inshallah return safely.”
When he returned she greeted him at the door of their home holding a baby on her hip, she smiled and said, ” you see, Husband, I also have been on a long journey to bring treasure to our house.”
That is good teranam 13, very good,it is an example of pure life.This is how it is.By the way,the Sufi philosophy is very interesting,has very deep spiritual nuances,if I remember it accepts the reincarnation as a normal fact.(but that is another theme for discussion and I am open for that)
Bro Anon and ioan,
Thanks for bringing up some pertinent matters to the matter at hand. Sex and power and the predicament of women in finding a faithful mate is upfront for me now.
Sex is the most potent force on earth. That’s where I go to find the root cause of war; and per this vineyard mission of stopping the war upon Russia. I too have fallen in love with Russia and if she falls so will I.
There’s lots of threads above on war, Victory Day and such. I need to skip them interesting as they may be. Too much time for me. I came here because this is where the juice is. I believe the Saker designed this cafe to be some kind of a pressure valve. A little more freedom here to explore ideas.
A large part of sex’s power comes from repression. It’s been mightily repressed by patriarchy because it is the resistance to its empire. If it were open and free as in the love culture, it would be pretty much like eating, gathering, talking, eliminating; in other words, no bit deal. But in our culture it is a huge deal, although repressed.
Now there are always paradoxes and apparent contradictions. That just goes with the mental territory. The other side of repression is excessism. The repressed breaks out in all kinds of acting out behavior, especially in sex. So we have all the perversions and the biological clock phenomenon for women.
Sexual repression allows patriarchy to control its price and market value. Scarcity bolsters the pay-tree-ark of the toll gate sex economy. Pay-for-sex arks make persons objects and bodies bottom line commodities. Not only that but forbidden sex makes for a war-ridden society. If people want to share sex without control, who is going to man the guns and factories?
The man, pay or gay, is not going to let this happen except in private. Public sex is the doom of private enterprise. Sex is extremely dangerous. Say the wrong thing and you can land in jail.
At the club I saw a report on the Trump Clinton repressed sex show. Three beautiful women (by our ugly standards) were discussing the matter, an anchor and two guests on either side of her.
You want to talk about power? The hidden power is the camps behind them. I’m quite sure that the assassins are already hired and the counter-assassins as well. But the show must go on.
Trump called Hillary an “enabler” for her husband’s infidelities. And she mistreated his women terribly. And she’s going for the women’s vote? You get my point. Donald says he hasn’t even started yet on her.
The power point is women’s reactions. Some love Donald and some hate him. Few are indifferent. Great for name recognition and excitement. You know the soft power. A strong man who speaks freely turns a strong woman on but terrifies a weak air-head. As for Hillary she’s a power puppet.
We are going to see a sex power play like never before unless one gets whacked first. All is fair in love and war. If Hillary wins we will get to see sex power on an even grander scale with the Hillary Vladimir stand-off. The straight man versus the conniving man-hater.
I’ve got my own take on all of this and so does each of us. Sex is being used and abused like a football these days. All our problems stem from problematic sex. The solution is to see what’s going on all the way back past history into herstory. I have done that and I think I see what I see. I could be wrong but I don’t think so.
I’ve gone past God and Goddess to the Lover and lovers. Sex is where angels fear to tread because they do not have bodies. Even God fears to go there into the flesh-pots so he sent his son and let him take the heat. The Goddess is promiscuous but she has not stopped war; we even have goddesses of war. True Care is getting there but it doesn’t have the gut language vibration necessary to deal with the power of empire.
I’m going out on a limb making the claim for love. Saw it off if you can. I think I started off wanting to talk about sex and power, and woman’s dilemma. In the love culture of our origins woman would not have this cruel fate. Women governed with love and real men supported them. It was matri-lineal and lover-real. A young woman was not ripped out of her natural home and forced to live with him and his clan because there was no marriage.
So you get the Hillary disorder of blowback revenge. When sex goes bad it blows to smithereens. Domestic violence on steroids transported to the war zone. Or it dies a quiet death of desperate regret. Sex is where it’s at and if we don’t put that in our hat-head we’ll never be able to tell this from that, much less fix a war on Russia.
But not to fear. There’s an army on the march of 100,000 strong heading our way, lovers all from all corners of space and time. They hate to see vineyards abused.
SEtheX: the manly triangle supporting the fairer sex sign of the times x all times. Time to time out according to my Timex.
I was just passing by and did not want to get embroiled with the love fest going on in the corner, a tad passe’ for a grown man. So I watched the Victory Day parade instead, with so many manly symbols in view. And that brought to my mind the generous French couple who gifted their family war medals to the parents of the young Russian officer who consciously sacrificed his life in Syria for his country – the supreme form of love for he renounced everything: his unlived for life, his wife, his unborn child.
And then I question why he was placed in harm’s way in the first place. I have had some military training and find hard to understand why a young lieutenant was working alone in such a dangerous position. Firstly, his commanding officer should have know about his personal circumstances (married and a child on the way) and should have, cruel as it may sound, chosen another man whose loss was of a ‘lesser’ consequence. That’s what I would have done in the same circumstances.
Secondly, why do the Russian armed forces put their officers performing tasks that in other armies are done by lesser ranks? The pilot who was killed by the headchoppers was a lieutenant-colonel !
You may say it’s a beancounter’s callous approach to warfare, but it costs a lot to graduate an officer and resources should be used sparingly, not wasted willy-nilly. There is an understanding in the “Western” military that the Russians don’t mind wasting a lot of manpower in their war objectives, hence the enormous losses in the Great Patriotic War.
What do you think?
From military point of view,you are possibly right,I say possibly because we don’t now the circumstances in which that Russian soldier had been encircled by the enemy.I have no personal experience in the war but my father did in ww2.According to him,there are several situations that can put you in this kind of danger.What I can tell ( as a supposition) is that having a permanent radio contact with the air-force,he might be sent there specifically for this scope,namely to provide air-cover by giving the target coordinates.That’s why was he an officer and not a simply soldier.Why are there in Syria so many Russian officers and why do they not spare ? that’s a good question,but taking in consideration the low number of Russian military sent there,is not a surprise.These officers are sent there to accumulate experience on the real battlefield.Once they get home,they will teach others,sharing their experiences,thus,instruct them on new ways of waging the war in such theater of military operations – for real.I think that is a rational thinking.
A modern army must have a good instructional program at all levels.
Regarding the pilot, it is common military practice that only officers in higher ranks, such as lieutenant-colonels if not captains, are allowed to pilot jets and combat helicopters. It is also common practice that artillery fire and air support is commandeered by officers. After all, both tasks require skilled and well-trained people who are given huge responsibility to decide on live and death.

” Laskevich whose photos from the House of Trade Unions on May the 2nd are in the article, states that “the majority of witnesses nobody has questioned are in Odessa … The world knows only the tip of the iceberg, but when these people start speaking, the world will tremble … ”
Meanwhile, the world did not flinch when on Holy Week a car with peaceful Ukrainians in Elenovka, was shot by the Ukrainian army – six victims, including a pregnant woman – another violation of the Minsk agreements of Kiev with another unpunished bloodletting. And this week, a family of an Orthodox priest from the Moscow patriarchy UPTS in Dnipropetrovsk was tortured, his wife died of her wounds while he was in the ER. The world did not flinch.
The world trembled on April 1876. Today, on May 2016, the European world trembles about its welfare, which it myopically sees under its nose and not any further. The world will not flinch until we stop to wade on the bones of innocents, killed in the name of “ideals”, “ideology”, the “new world order” and whatever else i justified in the name of human power.
This year, May the 2nd coincided symbolically with the Holy Week. “See that the light that is in thee, is not darkness” (Luke 11:35).”
I love it when truth comes in at closing time Anonymously and questions my manhood. The love fest in the corner is “a tad passe’ for a grown man” who prefers to watch the Victory Day parade instead.
I’ve always wanted to know what I’ll be when I grow up. Now I know: watch Victory parades.
I came here to talk about thought, patriarchal thought and loverachal thought as in philosophy, literally “love and knowledge”.
Patriarchal thought is based on the great “chain of being.” The Supreme Being at the top and lesser beings on the way down. The male pyramid is the model; like the one on the back of the one dollar bill. The tower of Babel is another and the twin towers of New York and whatever is there now another.
These are all towers of power with a top-down system. It’s not about love at all. Human beings are objects to serve the masters at the top. Humans are disposable. War is its “reason for being.”
Loverarchal thought is about love naturally. Cooperative, caring, compassionate. It is powerful but not power-over. Its model is the feminine pyramid with the tip in the center of earth and its top the broad base of the earth’s surface so very slightly curved.
Everything is more or less equal with differences and degrees. In this love system only idiots try to build towers on the top of mountains.
These are very different values and account for love fests in cafes and victory bests in parades. Just as the earth is much larger than the largest of patriarchal pyramids which rest upon her, love cafes outnumber war parades.
I’d like to close out my part of this cafe with this thought about thought itself. In subsequent cafes I hope to put flesh and bone on the skeleton of thought as part of the 100,000 lovers’ army of love in battle array. Parades can wait for another day when the final victory is secured. Even then, like Henry V, who forbade victory parades as charades, I may choose a cafe love feast rather than walk with a war beast, glorious as he may be.
