Welcome to the ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’. The ‘Moveable Feast’ is an open thread where readers can post wide ranging observations, articles, rants, off topic and have animate discussions of the issues of the day.
The ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’ will have two new open threads each week.
The Saker stated moderation policy will apply eg ‘no caps’, no obscenity … etc to all post.
The Cafe is now open for business … come on in and have a good time.
Saker Webmaster
only 2 points
1/ In the light of IAAF ban on Russian athletes, maybe they are lucky, while Brasil recently announced “state of public calamity’. Running Olympic Games under such conditions can be questionable.
2/ In memory of the 2008 Beijing games and the 2014 Sochi games, I expect something will happen again. Mr. Kerry message “U.S. Patience With Syria and Russia Is Running Out” can be a signal.
Hope for the best and be ready for the worst.
I have been anxious to stir the pot with some more from Professor Q but it seems this must wait for a boring lull in the international events, which are doing enough stirring on their own. So I am going to go with an original hypothesis of some import, instead.
El Gallinazo (despite his name, meaning buzzard or vulture… a curious handle but who cares, if the comments are good) posted on Orland 3 days ago and I had to answer him because of his first point, which was:
All their major psy-ops whether of real mayhem or simulation hoaxes have multiple agendas. Claiming either / or is a false detour away from their agendas. Here are a few for 9/11. By no means exhaustive:
1) A huge satanic occult sacrifice broadcast to the entire planet between the pillars of Boaz and Jachin, with Semiramis (depicted deceptively as Liberty) looking on, and at the Pentagram.
his other 9 cogent points are here: /the-orlando-massacre-the-lies-the-exploitation-and-unasked-questions/comment-page-1/#comment-249887
However his point # 1 is what forced me to go back and reply. Pillars of Boaz and Joachim? How many that read his # 1 point understood it??
Since February, when I introduced the de-occulting theme re: the 911 ritual sacrifice, El Gallinazo is the first to surface so explicitly. Various occult traditions have the pillars or columns theme
but my reply shows people what El Gallinazo correctly means:
https://youtu.be/SK9xu8tOLpA?t=10856 in the middle, between Kabbalah and Freemasonry cards or tracing boards is the Tarot card where the left column is labelled B for Boaz and the right column is labelled J for Joachim. And El Gallinazo is absolutely right. Did he get it from the same source as I did? That I don’t know.
But here goes, my full answer, which probably almost no one saw over there. So here it is:
Bro on June 17, 2016 · at 4:27 pm UTC
I agree with your post, G. Many birds with one stone is the N.W.O. modus operandi.
In my case, when my wife called me out to the TV Sept 11, 2001, I knew what it was, basically immediately. I had noted the warning eight months earlier by Lyndon Larouche that instability of the global financial system would motivate the requirement to lock the USA down under tighter control and would probably cause a “Reichstag Fire” sort of large scale domestic terror incident later that year.
However, I did not know about the pillars you cite, until 15 years later, this past January.
Interestingly, when I heard that analysis from Mark Passio
https://youtu.be/SK9xu8tOLpA?t=10856 (a few hours of learning new languages of symbols and numbers)
it was instantly more convincing and deeply revealing of the occulted mindset of the perpetrators than all of the good details in the books on the subject that I had read: Webster Tarpley’s, Christopher Bollyn’s. Nafeez Ahmed and internet analysis, arguments, etc.
In contrast, this was open and shut, quod erat demonstratum beyond the slightest shadow of a doubt. 11+ 175 divided by 2 = 93 ain’t no accident, no way in HELL.
I will go a step farther and this is my own, but I never would have even entertained the thought if it were not for Passio and Bollyn:
I am of the opinion that the probability that the WT Complex was designed and built for the ultimate immolation of Care (3 X 93) and the erection of the Phallic Phreedom Tower with the blatant address of One World (Trade Center) is so high that that hypothesis very much must be investigated.
My reasons?
# 1 First of all, the dual pillars/towers symbology from Tarot and Masonry and Kabbalah imbedded in the joint from the get-go, in the seventies.
# 2 Second, other evidence of decades long planning, namely Christopher Bollyn’s data showing that Arnon Milchan, THE # 1 weapons technology procurement individual for the State of Israel was also a secretive Hollywood producer (!!!!) whose studio evidently produced a 1978 movie (The Medusa Touch, according to Bollyn) that “featured a scene in which a passenger airliner was flown into a high-rise building
https://youtu.be/f1VaEDBbwEY?t=114
To quote Bollyn, SOLVING 911, page 197: “for the Israeli super-agent Milchan to have produced a film that depicts an airliner flying into a high rise building in the same year that the head of Israeli Intelligence predicted that Arab terrorists would attack the tallest building in New York City seems a most unlikely coincidence. This was the period, after all, when former terrorists from the Irgun came to power in Israel as the Likud Party. The Evidence points to this being the time when senior Israeli terrorists began planning 9-11……..”
#3 Except that I would say, since it only requires a few additional years into the past, earlier than 1978 to design WTC with the dual pillars of Kaballah, Tarot, Masonic tracing boards, etc that it was designed and built for the ultimate purpose that it ended up serving.
#4 Because, for the Lucefierian NWO gang planning and execution that takes centuries is fully within their character. Decades? That sort of advance planning and design is a “piece of cake” business as usual, and doesn’t even qualify as “long term” planning, for them.
I’ve lately come to the conclusion that gematria probably had its mundane origin as a check-sum and later passed into the realm of “hidden knowledge.” But even then, I suppose that the mundane use itself was esoteric. King David, for example, angered the Lord when he sought to number the house of Israel (I don’t have the reference).
On a personal level, I have had the privilege of witnessing a (Roman Catholic) camp for people with disabilities. As I walked in 100+ F degree heat, cottonwood trees gave off their seeds resembling snow. I pondered that while the number of actual saints (not just the canonized) is finite, it is uncountable, not meant to be counted but rather beheld.
There is a prohibition against making a census or so the translation goes –maybe it was a prohibition against setting up of a depersonalized surveillance state circa 1000 B.C. E. because people are so much more than an isolated number on a centralized government list–they are part of a vibrant community.
“angered the Lord”
How on earth or anywhere else for that matter can an omniscient, omnipotent , omnipresent being be angered by something it had known about before it even created King David?
That one is an easy answer: because a priest class, appointing themselves as God’s ventriloquists need anger and fear in order to herd the flock, using mind control.
There are seeds of truth in every religion, but as long as people must lean on the crutch of belief, because knowing is witheld from them, they are under mind control. Re = again, or back Ligare = tie or bind so, religion = tie back, thwart, maintain under mind control. And so it is for the most part . There are deeper exceptions, but they are rare exceptions.
Keep the good seeds, toss out the rest.
Apostles to Jesus: “How can we be free, like you are?”
Jesus: KNOW the Truth.
If the person is incapable of knowing much of anything (a common human condition…but NOT nature…..) the best that the apostles or anyone else can do for them is try to instill better beliefs in them , rather than worse ones, until they stop stumbling around on the checkerboard square of black and white tiles at the base of the Temple of Solomon within. If a person is capable of discovering truth and discarding falsehoods, that is a much better way to proceed. They can then start climbing up the ladder (Jacob’s Ladder) and get out of base consciousness and reliance on pure or more likely, impure belief.
“KNOW the Truth”
The truth can be awful so that may gets us nowhere.
Since you cannot recognise exploitation you cannot recognise the good seeds.
We are the bitterest of foes.
Kafka sensed that the truth he sensed and wrote about was so terrible, that he despaired, since there was nothing to be done and bade that his works to be destroyed. As for “angered the Lord” one could read that mythically if one likes. Cheers.
“As for “angered the Lord” one could read that mythically if one likes.”
Yes, you and all others would probably best do that with the whole Bible & all other “Holy” books.
And when I read Nietzsche, I’ll be sure to wear gloves.
You are your own bitterest foe, Anonymous at 4:48 UTC. Seek help. Free your mind. It’s in a prison, and I feel for you.
“The truth can be so awful so that may get us nowhere.” ?? Okay, enjoy your chains!
When you get tired of them. please let us know, and someone here who you have no insane prejudice against may be so kind as to try to help you.
Truth leads to Love leads to Freedom.
Dear Bro
“to know the Truth” is to be able to recognize it and then apply it, in our lives, live up to it. Same as with Math, you look at it, and just by knowing ‘gee, this is math’, you do not yet know it, until you are able to understand it and use it. cheers, V
Thanks, Vercia let’s compare mathematical notes!
My two favorites are Georg Cantor (Transfinite Numbers) and Kurt Godel (The Incompleteness Theorem). Both have the most profound philosophical and political implications.
If you are a mathematics/numbers expert or devotee, let’s go deep, deep, deep into that bottomless sea!
Please start by going into greater detail, so I have something more to work with, okay?
Chimmy, I’m not Catholic, but I did have to kneel on some sort of board for Mass along with all the Ecuadorian boys in Colegio San Jose in Guayaquil, 1959, and listen to the Latin. One such break from class, for Mass, each morning. Whatever I received thereby was from osmosis and not left brain/right brain enlightened balance…..
Now, I am new to the divine (or not so divine..in the case of 911…) numbers game, unlike Dennis, who recently posted his numbers for starting his Love Government in Ojai, and you saw that he posted 7s all over the place.
Those that are freaked out by this stuff ought to realize that before about 150 years ago, average people, that is popular culture, was pretty well aware of the symbolic properties of numbers, along with their more mundane arithmetic function and that the Holy Bible is chock full of numerology. I could give you some quotes from the second chapter of Silent Poetry: Essays on Numerological Analysis by Alastair Fowler
http://www.worldcat.org/title/silent-poetry-essays-in-numerological-analysis/oclc/97813
but the book is in one of 30 boxes for moving. Suffice it to say, my reaction after reading Chapter 2 “Numbers in Prophecy” was : OMG!! The whole Bible is constructed as one gigantic Mathematical proof!
But let’s play the numbers game a little. Why does Dennis choose 7? I am told it is because that is symbolic of the highest state than Man (And Womam, as Dennis calls her….) can attain, up from the beast or beasts 666 to 777. Whereas the perfection of God is in 8 or 888.
What else about 7? Well, it’s the 3 of the Trivium (ancient methodology for discovering Truth) plus the Quadrivium (fourfold tests of “inputs” to use modern computer analogy for the ancient term “grammar”….first element of the Trivium in the second element (Logic, or processing for Martin, and other techies) before you arrive at knowledge (3rd element, archaically called “Rhetoric” but what we would call “output”….in the brain as processor analogy. More on that later.
People who consciously or unconsciously use the Trivium and Quadrivium can think. Everyone who doesn’t is pretty much shooting in the dark, mostly shooting themselves in the foot, which does impede forward progress, somewhat.
Now in my post above I must correct the numbers!
You see the post was made Friday night on the Left Coast which was really 6/17/16 unlike what it says in my above comment “18”. No, not 18th of the month, 17th!!!!!
Why does it matter? It subtracts from the fun!
6/17/16 = 6 + 1, 7, and 1+6 = 777. Or at least that was my intent.
Have Fun!!!
Very interesting and captivating what you say about the numbers and their meanings. And yes, even the Bible is full of numbers.For example, if you read a verse, below you are oriented to several other numbers, verses, when you get those verses with that number(s) you are redirected anew to others and so on, gets complicated. The Bible is not a roman but a puzzle. I think this is one of the causes which lead people to various explanation of the same sentence. The Orthodox teaching says that the Bible cannot be properly understood just only with the help of the Holy Spirit. This send us to the interpretation of the Holy Spirit : the same teaching says that the Holy Spirit is actually the Spirit of Truth. Pilatus has asked Jesus : “…and what is the Truth ? ” on which, according to Bible, Jesus remain silent. Well, dear fellow kids, we have to find out ourselves in ourselves. This Vineyard is also a good opportunity to find out the truth, helping each other by each step to go further in our spiritual development.
Stream of Consciousness Poem, the Seven of Number, from the Love Government book:
“Level Seven is close to heaven. Seventh heaven is not a place but the grace of a holy face. Seven is the number of the virgin, free of human urging; unconceived by the will of man, subject to a different plan; not constructed by a womb, untouched by Love’s bridegroom; unborn in nature’s way, you emerge in the dance’s play. A lucky number to be sure; a loving wonder to the pure. Immaculate Conception and Virgin Birth; a Seventh heaven reception by Mother Earth. Happy go lucky break, take away my sad hearted ache. The sacred number of the gods, you go under all the odds. I meet you in your upper room; drink your wine and touch your loom. This house is built on Seven’s truss on trust; a Seven by Seven study grid; a heavenly earthly pyramid. Seven’s the key that opens the door to the Priestess store of Loverlore. On the Seventh day, Lovus took her rest; on the Seventh Floor I am her guest. Seven days in nature’s week; Seven spaces for those who seek; Seven steps in the musical scale; Seven tests to discover the holy grail; Seven wonders in by-gone ages; Seven chakras in body stages; Seven rungs to Seven Sisters; Seven seas from Seven rivers; Seven rays for Seven days. Wisdom hath builded her a house; she hath hewn out her Seven pillars; she has given it to us but it is still hers. With Seven you cannot be certain what’s behind the curtain. Seven comes with the luck of the draw; I’m in awe of her higher law. The Seven Wonders are Seven Wins to balance the Seven deadly sins. Seven wins with the luck of the draw; she rests her case on unwritten law. When push comes to shove, it’s a matter of love. Life’s a game of luck and tuck; if that’s the case, I hedge my bet; I make you a place, the table’s set. Come, Seven, bread without leaven. Lady Luck, help me Win; balance my mortal, deadly Sin. Oh, pure holy Virgin Mary; heal my heart; make it merry.
This is beautiful, Dennis
Iaon I agree with your aesthetical pronouncement.
Dennis’ poem is just precious.
I’m so glad I’ve got Pope in reserve to protect his back,
From any loveless, left brain imbalanced, sour attack!
Bro: outtered:
“””””The whole Bible is constructed as one gigantic Mathematical proof! “””””
Oh, well, my catholic father once gace me the book “The Bible *is* correct!”
Not much in it which is a real hint, let alone proof.
Maybe you know the Bible, but I doubt that you studied Mathematics at a Technical University, as I did.
Did you ever see any Mathematical Proof in reality?
Mathematical induction

Martin
“Technical University, as I did.” Oh, Martin, I did not new that, good for you, I was was very poor in maths, so I became teacher but not in maths, drawing and geography. My father was a very good mathematician he was engineer. My former maths teacher in the high-school, who was a friend of my father asked me many times how is it possible that I am such an idiot in maths. when my father is so gut in that. I don’t know but today has no more importance, I am retired and have no need to learn, although I would love it maybe better than then.
Yes, nowadays one either studies Mathematics and takes CS as field of specialization or one studies CS and takes Maths as specialization.
BTW: In childhood I was very enthusiastic about Geography and collected large amounts of historical maps and still have most of them.
My first University semester was Geography (because Maths only started in winter).
So rather than doing nothing I took one Semester as Dipl. Geograph.
But the folks (both Students and Professors) at the Geography Campus were not my type of crowd, I didn’t enjoy the time.
Martin, this is great! I downloaded a prior link you provided and went through most of it, but without some socialization, I may have missed a lot. But I felt I got the basic point, at that time, a a few months ago.
My forte is math, not poetry, but I am working more on the latter in terms of balancing the left brain (where I am strongest, if SATs are any measure ….1 short of perfect) by developing the right, like Ali.
However, my instincts are sharpest, it seems, in the area of higher mathematics, as I discovered later, in my thirties, in a political/philosophical context. I followed Kurt Godel’s Proof of the Incompleteness of Arithmetic with interest and relative ease, and presented it in a class for others, some 25 years ago.
Let’s have a math nerds table somewhere in a corner of the cafe!
Your newest links will have to wait, (but will be saved for future study) because it will be 110 degrees Fahrenheit today, so I have to work on strategy for assaulting my 10 year old’s playhouse/fort with the Russian Flag flying from the East end of the roof gable. Should I be German? Maybe Mongol would be better. Although I did read Rommel’s Infantry Tactics…..so maybe I should come from the west…….for historical accuracy……….
His middle name is Kalashnikov, so I am probably screwed.
He gets the garden hose, but I will have buckets of water balloons, like from Carnival in Ecuador…(one week of Ecuadorians dousing each other, February…).
Here is 9-11 truth in a nut shell.One stop research, for those too busy to research, “busy folks”. (www.veteranstoday.com/2016/06/17/911-revelations-continue-humiliating-the-victims-dancing-on-their-graves/)
Bro: Oh please spare us more from Prof. Piggly Wiggly Quigley! Those who know, do and those who do not know, teach. Besides, he got too nosy and had to be put down or so the rumor goes.
#4 yes, Their plan is called the 1,000 year Reich.
#3 now you are getting fanciful ..didn’t that building have 4 corners? 4 main side pillars?
#2 crisis actors
#1 it was their magnum opus better than the 1963 Kennedy/ Dallas…(by the way, Mateen=Oswald)
Can’t you take a joke? Q.
But if he got too nosy, that is a point in his favor. I haven’t researched that. It’s all half a century ago, with him, so not exactly the highest priority. And he’s obviously limited, even gullible or ignorant on JFK assassination.
But who else in that period was any damned good? Ummm? Not much to work with, there! That was the decapitation period as far as leadership goes.
Otherwise, are you clear that the 10 cogent points were El Gallinazo’s and not mine?
Cheers.
SAINT JO – A MARTYR JUST WHEN ONE IS NEEDED?
The murder of Jo Cox has all the features of a Western geopolitical crime. Most important, it was fully expected. As I have stated here on Facebook, Brexit was too important a decision to be left to the People to decide. Therefore, something was inevitable to fall from the sky to prevent it. Waiting for Brexit was as surreal as the aftermath of the Ukrainian defeat in the decisive battle for Southern Cauldron 1.0 in Marinovka on July 16th, 2014; then too everyone informed was expecting divine intervention.
The murder follows the modus operandi of a string of crimes I have linked together from the very beginning. These include the murders of Anna Politkovskaya, Alexander Litvinenko, Rafic Hariri, Boris Nemtsov, the attempted murder of Viktor Yushchenko, the al-Baida massacre in Libya, the Houla massacre and the Ghouta gas attack in Syria, the sniper massacre on Maidan, and MH17. Of these Houla, Ghouta, and Haidan are well known to be provocations of the West. Some are still unsolved. Some may be what the West claims them to be. Put together they establish a clear pattern, like Jack the Ripper pulling the world to WW3.
I have no sympathy for Jo Cox. She was a warmonger and potential war criminal on par with Tony Blair. As co-chair of the Enemies of Syria All Party Parliamentary Group she was waging a war of aggression and terror on Syria. I expect her death to result in yet more Western aggression.
If there is talk about Brexit, how about this one :
Winston’s Brexit
Just imagine Winston Churchill
Asking gods just up the Hill :
Could you send me back to future
Learning on the human nature,
How they deal with all that shit
Which I left after my Br-exit ?
Asking them in early morning
Gods have gave him a warning :
Keep your mouth over the Brexit
Otherwise you’ll have to fix it.
Are you kidding me you gods,
Europe will remain at odds.
With regard to Soviet-Union
Now we have the Euro-Union.
Stalin would be satisfied
Had he stood on our side.
Hitler would be more than ditto
Had an Army like the NATO.
Hearing this, the gods on Hill
What’s in the mind of Churchill,
They decided on their will
Let the Churchill pay the bill.
Stalin, Hitler, Churchill hero,
Singing in the church in trio.
An imperialist foul was evil Winston!
So, I like it, oh yes I much do like it!
But careful iaon, do watch your pen
For biting Irony and such stinging wit,
Could be discretely, behind a curtain
Lest someone throw a nasty, surly fit.
Of the three, the best was Stalin,
If ye differ, pound your head and fix it.
Bro
Yes I know,
Stalin was the best indeed,
Give the capitalism a good hit
Showing them the way and path
To the Gulag with some math
Agree. Obvious false flag, ipso facto.
I tend to agree here, Jo Cox was a NWO agent, rabidly asking for more intervention against President Assad in Syria. She was an asset they decided to use as more convenient to their interests. It proves that working for them is never a business that pays off, ask Nemtsov.
The Cafe is open in parallel with the war-rooms. There is much chaos out there in this world today and is intensifying. Here, put in verses for the lovers :
Left or Right
Turning left or turning right
Is a question of the sight.
Questioning all day and night
In the heavy of the fight.
Do we always be so blind
Not seeing the truth discard
Finely packed as new brand
Blowing off the human kind ?
We are bad but we are right,
Shadow thinks that he is bright
Layer thinks that he’s been lied
What is wrong with human mind ?
Dignity or human pride
Pushing every wall aside
Left and right will soon collide
Get the source which will unite.
If you want to be reminded
Choosing parties in your mind,
Even if you are retarded
Doesn’t mean you’ll be alright.
Now, before you get confused,
On which side you will be fuse
Ask those who have been abused
Which side left them on the lose.
Out teacher is the TV
We’re not watching, do we ?
Do you feel the bigger loss ?
Yes, indeed, this is the chaos.
Says it all – you are going from strength to strength Ioan:-)
@ Ioan: yes, and to quote Eimar
“The Lords of Chaos endarken Logos
in the silken skeins of bogus.”
Our job: to clear the mined thought field
with discernment’s sword wield
For that we have to be in the battle( inner and outer) and know the enemy’s blandishments: Get thee behind me, Satan.
Tis the final battle, let each stand in his place:
OMG, in this new Cafe we are no customers anymore, we have to work!
No more excuses…
I start with Putins speech, some time ago, but nevertheless very up to date
Great respect for this man, speaks clear text with absolute sovereignty
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qrx5DCkvixA
I tracked down this interview with English translation. It’s here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33oIF-ggK5U
And the clip you present here, Vercia V, starts at approximately 18:50 in this fuller video. It makes the point about the cultural differences between Russia and the US. The punchline is that if Stalin had possessed the atomic bomb he might have used it against Germany in 1941 or 1942 – but it seems impossible that he would use it in 1945, when the enemy was practically defeated. By contrast, the US used the bomb against the practically defeated Japan, in 1945.
I hadn’t seen this interview. It’s June 2013, several very intelligent RT journalists grilling Putin on diverse subjects, and receiving deeply intelligent answers – wonderful.
Grieved
Thanks a lot for the kindness of finding a translation…I do appreciate it.
I just love this interview, it shows the real Putin in full splendor, brilliant.
I most enjoy the things he does not say…like the Truman/Eisenhower, Churchill for that matter as well, had no need whatsoever to murder murder millions of people like they did.
I’m glad you enjoyed
Thanks for the English translation.This was a kind of love fest. Excluding Putin, there were 3 men and 7 women present. I loved the flirting most. What woman would not fall in love with Vladimir? Power is the best aphrodisiac. Putin’s mastery, even about his ex, is delightful. If only he had some competition that wasn’t so vulgar, based on ugly power.
He goes from Scarlet O’Hara to Stalin to Powell to the salt of Cathage with the greatest of ease like a man on a flying trapeze. Let’s hope his gentleman-like talk is the velvet glove for an iron fist, like the Man of Steel’s.
Putin said : “with America we have no ideological differences” – what does that mean ?
@ioan
I think he means Russia is not the Soviet Union anymore, and capitalism reigns in Russia as in the USA, which is true.
@ Vercia & Ioan
I think Ioan knew that answer. He means something else. Ideology is not just an economic system. The US is a fascist country and that entails much more than being capitalist.
Vercia V: I think you will enjoy this article. ( http://www.veteranstoday.com/2016/06/17/neo-what-if-vladimir-putin-does-know-a-third-way-for-society/ )
good article. I do believe Putin knows a way, more so, he shows it to everyone who is interested. Right now, only Russia.
just fished this one from Pepe Escobar’s FB page, recently declassified Killary mail
https://wikileaks.org/clinton-emails/emailid/18328#efmADMAFf
From the email:
Wow. And I suppose by the the Syrian people the mean the transplanted dregs of the Gulf States and assorted Takifiris.
I do not believe she would be able to recognize one Syrian if she had the chance of having one in front of her…so I suppose the same as you
I like this psychopathic formulation from Hitlery’s unclassified email the best:
“……., the Libyan operation had no long-lasting consequences for the region. Syria is harder. But success in Syria would be a transformative event for the Middle East. Not only would another ruthless dictator succumb to mass opposition on the streets, but the region would be changed for the better as Iran would no longer have a foothold in the Middle East from which to threaten Israel and undermine stability in the region.”
In a saner world, staying out of jail should be “harder” for Mrs Clinton.
Thanks for the link!
Besides being “exceptionally” dumb,she has a problem will “map comprehension”. Every World map I’ve seen includes Iran as a part of the Middle East. So not only do they have a “toe-hold in the Middle East” they have their whole self there.
“Russia will never support such a mission, so there is no point operating through the UN Security Council. Some argue that U.S. involvement risks a wider war with Russia. But the Kosovo example shows otherwise. In that case, Russia had genuine ethnic and political ties to the Serbs, which don’t exist between Russia and Syria, and even then Russia did little more than complain. Russian officials have already acknowledged they won’t stand in the way if intervention comes.”
This shows how very little Clinton understands Russia and Putin “little more than complain”. Subsequent Russian involvement was devastating and effective in Syria. Confirmation of how Putin completely wrong footed US foreign policy. Again it shows Clinton as a very dangeroús warmonger. More emails please wikileaks.
hahahaa Uncle, I think you just put your finger on her ‘real’ intentions…when Iran does not belong there anymore, at all
indeed Bro. You’re welcome.
re: Mr. Trump’s ” something’s going on”: A duplicitous, dangerous, deadly, detonating double game, you say?
The President just might be fighting Assad by supporting radical Islamists via the CIA as well as supporting the Kurds via the Pentagon ? Silly analysts to question the mad juggler of “Yes, we can” !
The Saudi Arabia, nation of “radical Islam”, speaks out in solidarity with the deep state Honchos against Assad/Russia/Hezbollah/Kurds/US army/Iran. Why pick on Isis, they say. The real goal is to “get” Assad so first things first.

Having too many pokers in the fire will destroy the web they are weaving for deceiving. Someone is going to get burned and get burned bad.
A post from the last feast got me thinking about virtual reality which in turn got me thinking about art. Here are two short stories that together speak of its moral possibilities: http://www.ae-lib.org.ua/texts-c/tolkien__leaf_by_niggle__en.htm
http://xroads.virginia.edu/~hyper/poe/oval.html
For a bonus, another by Poe:
http://www.eapoe.org/works/tales/mnusdf.htm
I read the first ten comments of this new cafe of “we have to work.” It sets the tone for my own getting to work.
I agree that something is going on, of long standing and dangerous proportions. We are caught between a rock and a hard place, between the two pillars of black and white, Boas and Joachin, the 9/11 pillars of ioan’s “Left or Right,” left behind or right on?
Many years ago, I wrote in The Love Government book, at the High Priestess card, interpreted as Seven, in the suit of Number, with the polarities of Wins and Sins, the following: “She has the power of Seven Wins over the Seven deadly Sins of the patriarchs, Jehovah and Baal, one white with fright and the other black with lost sight.”
Yes, “someone is going to get burned,” and it won’t only be Jo Cox, or the objects “Killary’s Mail.” The link to Putin’s speech, with German subtitles (I think), was instructive for me even though I understand neither Russian nor German. Again and again he said “Americanos.”
I have been referring to those who posted the first ten comments, with gratitude.
I want to talk about the Love Army, which has become my motif and contribution here. The Love Army is the “a contrario” force that operates in the strange twilight zone of the two pillars of Luciferian dualism.
The Love Army is here by invitation, and gives us a gift with which “we have to work.” It goes head to head, and man to man, with King Khazar (or as certain Russians say: Czar Khazar). It gets very personal in the realms of “as above, so below.” No thought or action is wasted, and tends to support the Lover or the Killer, according to the ancient rule: you cannot serve two masters. We make the choice, or it is made for us.
As the two pillars signify: we live in a dual world, starting with a Love Army and a Love Amory. There’s a lull in the battle now, so I can report a little of what the love amory is about. It goes on behind the lines, and is the power support for the love army. The energetic source has been corrupted with our term of “camp followers,” indicating the women attached to the soldiers fighting on the front-lines.
It is the “a contrario” of satanic rites of Luciferian origin as power generators for the anti-love army, on our present planet called the NWO.
The Love Army personnel are routinely rotated from the front lines to the Love Amory to recharge their strength. In brief, this is done by engaging in the ancient love-sex rites of passage from darkness to light and from death to life. These are the initiatory sex rites of the sacred groves of Eden which the patriarchal God and his minions have largely destroyed here on earth to institute their NWO.
A contrario, the love army, through the energy of the love amory, destroys the destroyers, from the “I am become a destroyer of worlds” to the multifarious destruction of our times. It all goes back to sex used or abused. The irony of it is: that we may indeed be destroyed in the fire of transformation back to our original status as lovers rather than killers.
The world now hangs in the balance of “the destiny of man, from every sparrow falling to every grain of sand.” The ten divisions of the love army delivers the information of the battle plan, on the condition that we have to carry it out; for the love army is only a sign of us, in a hologram of projection and reflection.
So here my report ends and stands for now. For better or for worse, in sickness or in health, in poverty or wealth, it is up to us as a commons and a citizen, to take our vows of communal marriage, or to not. Marriage is a big step, even to one other individual. The stakes go way up when it comes to a community, involving a love amory and, a contrario, an anti-love armory (sic).

I red your Love Armory several times. You are going deeper and deeper in philosophical meanings, which is very interesting while I can see an influence of the war-rooms there. That influence makes your post more heavier, I know, this cannot be so easily avoided, we interacting with the news, information, everywhere and they leave the signature in our mood. What I mean is that something I missed, namely the humor, the specific humor you have. How is the heat in Ohaj valley ? how can you cope with that ? from my part I can tell you : I don’t like it at all.
from Paul Craig Robert’s site: This video is important because it shows how a man uses discernment to at least question the narrative. It is up to us to take a half story ( maybe there was a shooter but there was much more and it is that omission in which the real mendacity lies).
It is clear that the FBI knew about the “shooter” and is making all sorts of excuses and lies about their relationship to him.
I find it absolutely unbelievable that they did not try at one point to “recruit ” him as a double agent at which point the story would have to be that he declined and they left it at that? or even more dangerous thought crime here is that he accepted.
Of course they are not even mentioning the possibility and whoever might do so ( Trump?) will be hooted down.

BBC admits
Nato leaders’ stage-managed press conferences in China.
One held by US Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew, on the same night, was only marginally better. He answered four questions from pre-selected reporters.

An interesting development is the Russian air attack on the rebels in al-Tanf (aka al-Tanaf). That is a border post near Syria’s three-country point with Jordan and Iraq isolated in the middle of the desert. It has been presented as the only place where US trained rebels are still active and as such also a potential core from which it wants to rebuild its “New Syrian Army”. The post is near ISIS territory and was already once almost overrun.
Obviously the US is very upset about this bombing and its military officials even held a video conference with their Russian colleagues. US planes came to chase the Russians away but these came back when the Americans needed to refuel. The Americans talk about American soldiers in danger.
Interesting is also the passage “counter-ISIL forces at the At-Tanf garrison, which included forces that are participants in the cessation of hostilities in Syria” which could suggest that not all those forces were participants. Given the small size of the force that would be remarkable.
Apparently al-Tanf is 300k from the nearest ceasefire zone.

“Russia is starting to lose patience over Washington’s reluctance to determine the concrete targets of the fight against terrorists, the head of the Russian General Staff said Monday.
MOSCOW, June 20 (Sputnik) – Earlier this week, US media cited an anonymous official who claimed planes of the Russian Aerospace Forces had hit the positions of US-backed Syrian opposition forces. Russian and US defense officials held a rare video conference overnight to address the issue.
“It is us, not Americans who are losing patience concerning the situation in Syria. We are fully meeting our commitments and agreements on securing the ceasefire and national reconciliation in Syria,” he said.

Gerasimov said that Russia has been sending coordinates of targets of the Islamic State (IS) and the Nusra Front to the United States for three months while the United States cannot still determine which armed groups belong to terrorists and which – to the Syrian opposition.
“As a result, terrorists are actively restoring their strength and the situation is escalating again,” Gerasimov said.”

It’s sad to see Russia get suckered into this rat race. Along with the other nine main addictions, identified by the love army, interest, or using money to make money, from the blood and sweat of slaves, is the cancer of our times, which hardly anyone dares mention.

to Martin SEB, Your contributions touch a chord in me, affirmatively and controversly
I remembered of a former life ( being 74 now) when you – like often – ironize Putin’s patience with the exceptionalists, on the other hand being, like me, impressed with his boldness sometimes …
listen, I was 10 years organized communist in Hamburg, working in the port and red bookshop, finally in the red Kinderhaus – we lived and worked as a ethical Leninists – as right as we were up to
I got a child finally, a physical one
same year I approached my 39th birthday and step by step my de-communization rose and finally theunanswered question rose: we as the commies as a collective, i’sn’t relity 1980 better, without us gaining power as organization …
since then in me remainded only one prayer (without realizing it as one ): what is my prong? The answer started half a year later on the way of symbols, in nuce since then started my way disemboguing 2007 in „mundanomaniac“s diary …
what I will say to you is something of the reign of the elder souls: what I relize with V.V.Putin is him being the living statesman with the advanced emotional balance.
Right in the moment, his statements at the Petersburg meeting,
http://www.n24.de/n24/Nachrichten/Politik/d/8694000/wladimir-putins-ungewoehnliche-botschaft-an-die-usa.html
are in accord with the far glancing words of the late C.G.Jung (late fifties):
„ the evil has become determining reality. It is no longer possible to manage it out of the world by changing the name. We have got to learn, to deal with it, cause it w i l l l i v e a l o n g.
How this might be possible without serious damage, is right now ( short before Kennedy) not to be seen.“
Cheers mm
@mm:
Only so much:
A) In West-Germany the *allegedly* “Communist” groups you had there at the time didn’t have anything to do with Soviet-Communism anyway.
B) Only because you gave birth to an “own” (?) child, this made you forget your ideals and turned you into a finely checked spit citizen (klein kkarierten Spiessbuerger) and traitor?
C) Only because you started to have $$$ this made you forget solidarity?
D) and now you are even proud of this all???
Bad luck, my ideals are not for sale.
And those who I sworn to defend – I will never forget nor ever ignore them, unlike RT to name only a single example:

Hulloh Martin,
I wonder whether you are pleased, amused or not that Comrade Stalin was, on top of everything else, also a seer (ein Seher), who „was able to see the future. He foresaw, before WWII, the victory, but also the later fall, and the complete negating of and disesteem for the Soviet idea in the world.“
This is reported by a certain D. Markovic on page 28 of the last issue (#692) of Trece oko, the famous YU/SRB mag on paranormal matters (on ww.treceoko.rs this article is not yet included). D. Markovic found this info in the diary/-ies of Aleksandra Mixajlovna Kollontaj, which, he writes, were recently published. Kollontaj was, you certainly know that, the first lady in a government, that of the CCCP, she was a feminist and introduced March 8th as The International Ladies‘ day, and she represented the CCCP as ambassador in Sweden and Norway from 1930-1945.
Shortly before the launching of WW II (our southern Serb brothers and sisters traditionally refrain from being too specific about dates, names, sources) she had a long talk with Koba (as Josif Vissarjonovic was known to his friends), where he asked and she answered. At the end, he told her: „Gather fortitude, bad times are ahead. We will definitely overcome them. Look after your health, be strong for combat. Many of the achievements of our party and our nation will be skewed and marred, and even spat at, namely in the rest of the world, but also in our country.“ And he also touched Zionism: „Zionism, which visibly strives for the governance of the whole world, will take a terrible revenge for our successes and achievements. They look at us as at a barbar country, just a source of raw materials. And also my name will be calumnied and dishonored, and they will relegate to me all sorts of crimes and bad acts. World zionism will insist with all his forces on the destruction of our union (the CCCP), so that Russia may never rise again. The strength of the CCCP lies in the friendship of [its?] peoples. Hard and bitter battles will be destined at detaching the frontier regions of the CCCP. I have to confess – in this regard we did not do everyting necessary. This is a broad field for further work.“ He finished, in Kollontaj‘s notes, with these words: „Nationalism will raise its head with full force. it will „drown“ internationalism and ptariotism, but only for a certain time. National and patriotic groups will show up, but their will also be fights. All sorts of minor führers will show up – „pygmies“, traitors of their nation. The further development will be very complicated, in a demented way, and happenings will be very violent…“
Yesterday evening there was still one copy of Trece oko #692 left at Presse+Buch, S-Bahnhof Zoo.
By the way, the Serbian Saker is just as devoid of discussion as the other section (Russian?) you once complained about, also because of an insane dependency on censorship agencies for being allowed to speak out. This does not mean that the articles there are worthless. For instance, the article by Dragan Jovanovic about the BND‘s patsy as Serbian PM, Zoran Djindjic, and his building up in our Fashistskoe Revanshistkoe Govno (FRG), and his connection with nazi scum Jozef Fischer, the Frankfurt School and much more. With your Russian you will hopefully be able to get an idea of the content.
As for commies in the MI6 stronghold of Hamburg… I also know one story of a guy who went from conservative student at Free University in Westberlin via a grant (Luftbrückenstipendium) to the USA, and who there became a „commie“ (a dogmatic one), and later even an internet truther with his own site… Well, well, this is FRG for you.
Yours
bimboplumpe of Nazi-powered Groß West Berlin (NGWB)
Hello bimboplumpe,
many thanks 20 kilometers to the West from here for your comradely message, which contains interesting facts and some hidden hints at that.
Alexandra Kollontai was a very special lady and it is amazing how she could achieve all these things: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexandra_Michailowna_Kollontai#/media/File:Alexandra_Kollontai.jpg
Then again, she has had also her beauty as a weapon and consequently had more and different opportunities. Even though Lenin criticized her for being too much focused on issues of women’s rights in a time when the White Army could still attack every minute (let’s not call her a Feminist, because that term has meanwhile been abudantly abused by self-proclaimed Feminist groups like FEMEN, which ironically literally get their instructions from their Male bosses).
Normally I don’t give much on such seer’s, because whenever I had a look at some of those stories it turned out that nothing was clearly predicted, but that one either has to guess (with today’s knowledge) from who-ever’s quite generalitic “predictions” – which is pointless. Or in other cases the original “prophecies” cannot be verified because the texts in which they were made were printed only now.
But here with Stalin I know his quotes and so it can be regarded to be proven.
Nevertheless I wasn’t aware that Aleksandra Kollontaj also confirmed this.
BTW, isn’t it remarkable how many important leaders and leading advisers died in 1952 and 1953? Maybe the weather was bad …
However, certainly you cannot lure me to this Westberlin bookshop, also I don’t have a Visa for the British Sector. And I don’t want a Visa anymore.
S. Yours over the Wall,
Martin
Thanks, Martin,
perhaps you could share your knowledge of Stalin‘s quotes on the future? I never heard anything about his prophetic gift before.
No, I am not aware of the unhealthiness of 1952/53… Berija? Hammerskjöld? Someone tried to kill the GDR, but was not successful.
However, at one point in my study of data fetishism (DAFTism) I remarked the similarity of the dates 5.3.53 and 8.5.85. On 8.5.85, Gehlen‘s candidate (of spring 1942, Wolfsschanze) for steering of, presiding over and profiting from renazification, Weizsäcker jr., repeated Hitler‘s „peace speech“-trick of 1933-5-17, to prepare his future wars by blinding the environment for the war preparations by promising never ending peacefulness. What followed were Hitler‘s wars. Weizsäcker on 8.5.85 „at long last“ „recognized“ Germany‘s guilt for war and its consequences – so that „this chapter got closed“ – so that the regime could prepare and launch new wars before everybody‘s eyes without being caught at that: the war against the GDR (annexed in a most insolent manner without any „referendum“ as in the Crimea case), against the CSR (which Weizsäcker, Waldheim and Havel divided just to repeat Hitlerism, again without the referendum which in suc a case, according to the constitution of the CSR would have been necessary), then the war against YU, declared and launched by a german chancellor, then the decapitation of Poland in Smolensk on „Merkel‘s feast day“ which was to lead to a warlike taking over of Russia („who obviously did Smolensk”) in 2012, then the war against Greece with finance tricks and refugees tricks, and finally, in 2014, the start of the next war against Russia, which as a start was accomplished (presenting the MH17 case as war pretext), again on a „Merkel“ feast day. All of this could be felt in advance in the „peace speech“ of 8.5.85 – I once started analyzing it and found that counting just the nouns produced the vocabulary of a typical goebbelsian war speech…
So, if the 8.5.85 was too good to be true as a „coincidence“, the date of 5.3.53, when Stalin whispered „The zionists poisoned me“, was too: both days seem to have been chosen for their DAFT value, and „chosen for“ means, nothing „happened“ but was produced and sold under a false name. I then looked for other instances of this pattern and found 1.1.11 (2011-01-01): in Egypt a coptic church was attacked with many casualties, and I interpreted this on the same day as a start of a new round of preparations of The Big War, now on the theme of „poor christians being exterminated by brutal muslim un derhumans“. Yes, Tunisia and libya followed…
So, in hindsight and even in real time successful „predictions“ can be made, while beforehand it is much more difficult -not to predict, but to be successful in it: the perps still have to start the predicted events although they were already uncovered. I predicted in a letter to „Merkel“ in September 2009 that she would start/would have to start a new war against Russia in Summer 2014 – which she did or tried with her MH17 repetition of Daddy‘s Gliwice disinformation coup, but without succeeding, thanks to certain other persons. So, one reason for certain predictions is to disprove them, and titles for books and articles in the form of „With our xxx politics we will all be yyy by 2050!“ are not rare.
I became sleepy with all these considerations and wanted just to have a look at something else before going to sleep… so I left the Café and tried Sott.net. No bad news there but an up-lifting message: We humans can do much more than humans can, especially when in need! Did you know, you can lift up a car and hold it for some minutes if someone you like is under it? Yes you can! Then I found the name of John Keele mentioned and followed the next link. John Keele‘s book „Operation Trojan Horse“ was in 1977 the best I had ever read about UFOs and it still is. I had another book of his which at first reading seemed pure nonsense, and at a second reading less so but very troubling. When I had finally the internet within my reach I tried to find out what else John Keele had done or did, but never found anything. And here, this morning, Sott.net not only had an article mentioning Keele, but three other links to articles about him. I choose to look into one of it – and it was a very interesting discussion of the book I had found „troubling“, „The Mothman Prophecies“. The article, posted on 2011-05-25 by Ryan X., turned out to more than anything else a discussion of the point you made: What good are predictions? Why do they often misfire or become only partially true (e.g. the day is ok, but the month is off etc.)? Since it seems I had found it just because of your introduction of the theme, I‘d like to recommend this article to you:

It seems that the empty cups and saucers are piling up on the counter, and the one employee may be so over-worked and fed up that he may toss his apron on the floor and head for the door.
Is this the Communist Cafe or Cafe Capitalista?
The Saker Summer appeal for help gets 4 comments (one of which is a demand/suggestion before a finger will be lifted……) meanwhile, most appropriately, in the world sitrep (how appropriate!) the grousing against the Cafe proprietor (beware the capitalist falcon, is the socialist warning) takes on overtones of a General Strike.
Whenever I’m given a dualistic choice, I immediately smell mind control and think “Choose A or its supposed antithesis, B?” No thanks! What about C, D, F, and G??
Either/ or? No, how about neither/nor!
One or the other? No, I’ll take both!
Ray B had such a great rant /world-sitrep-june-19th-2015-by-baaz/comment-page-1/#comment-250880 that I got off my butt and made a dual Grant.
Freeloader Cafe
This place is a mess,
I have to confess,
But if we love it,
Let’s pitch in and clean it,
And not be the waiter
Or the snappy alligator
That leaves in a huff,
Saying, “Saker, f*ck off!”
Just like it, don’t quite love it?
Don’t tell the owner to shove it!
That’s too rude, too inconsiderate,
Better pitch in, lest he reconsider it!
Consciousness, like coffee or cash flow,
Waxes and wanes, just like the moon.
Unless it works, it won’t ever grow so,
To be Cafe Consciousness, anytime soon.
END (but sorry, I can’t keep from rhyming)
And now to energize some kind of buzz,
I’ll post my world sitrep poem again,
Why? Why not? Well, just because:
Excellent Ray, one of the better rants!
Not an oligarch, I’ve no foundation,
Yet I’ve decided to give 2 more Grants: (see below)
For all the work, all the dedication,
And most especially, the priceless rants!

Of course the ironies of Martin are most telling,
And Saker turning a falcon cheek, so compelling.
No one posts more than the German Communist,
Abuses his host as a dupe, and plays the realist.
His myriad points I too must admit I treasure,
Especially the ironies without end or measure.
Many wish it were simple, but it’s so richly complex,
Embrace it with joy, it’s more rewarding than sex!
Bro
Very good poem, as you noted, something is missing in the Cafe. But clearly what ? From my part I’ll do my best to comment and to entertain the visitors and the usual Cafe insiders. What can I do more than this ? Regarding the Saker request : a couple of Cafe’s earlier, JJ have a good suggestion and I fully agreed with him. Anyway, I hope he will get the needed cash support to keep alive this blog.
As you probably know and remember, I begun to write verses right here on this blog, for the blog, never done this before ever. So, I’m thankful for you who have supported my first epigrams and give me the joy for poetry (in english). My first enter in this blog was for pure political comment, only later I developed myself to understand that in this world of fighting (in the war-rooms) , there is a need for humor too, without which we can get mad very quickly. If only few people need this kind of humor, that is their choice. In this way, this blog is the expression of the general mood in the world. Some posters even here, haven’t got the poems with smiling face at all, can I or you or other change their mind ? I recognize, as a human being, as a person, of course have my feeling fluctuations, not every day is sunny in my soul and in my mind. When I’ll be dead is another question, but till then I’ll take the fighting in this world, there is no other choice. We are all humans and we are all fluctuating, taken by the wind of the events and every day life. Recognizing that this is a war, the setbacks are usual for the soldier, just keep on marching all the way in love and truth. Nobody is to blame for nothing, at least here in the Cafe. Remember, the devil is never sleeping, he is waiting for the smallest setback to kick us in our ass. And this I can tell you from my personal daily life.
Well, there’s some tension, and some dishes to wash, and some funds to raise, but there’s nothing wrong with that. Without winding up the spring, how can there be release? A good punchline requires a vexing paradox, a seemingly unsolvable dilemma.
When you are recharged, again you will let loose your muse. Or moose, if you’re Canadian, eh?
Potency shines more emerging from a former mood of impotence. If all was hard and never soft, passion 24/7 would just jade and bore us, our species would die of sheer exhaustion. There must be some rest, some time for reflection, and polarity gives vibration variation and rhythmic inflection.And so, siesta over, I’m ready to roll.
Hmmmm. Sometimes up tight is not exactly “outta sight”.
Let see, what could be prescribed as a laxative, so that laughter smiles on at least one cafe corner table? A mirror, a mirror, my cafe for a mirror!

On Seeing One On A Lady’s Bonnet, At Church
1786
Type: Poem
Ha! whaur ye gaun, ye crowlin ferlie?
Your impudence protects you sairly;
I canna say but ye strunt rarely,
Owre gauze and lace;
Tho’, faith! I fear ye dine but sparely
On sic a place.
Ye ugly, creepin, blastit wonner,
Detested, shunn’d by saunt an’ sinner,
How daur ye set your fit upon her-
Sae fine a lady?
Gae somewhere else and seek your dinner
On some poor body.
Swith! in some beggar’s haffet squattle;
There ye may creep, and sprawl, and sprattle,
Wi’ ither kindred, jumping cattle,
In shoals and nations;
Whaur horn nor bane ne’er daur unsettle
Your thick plantations.
Now haud you there, ye’re out o’ sight,
Below the fatt’rels, snug and tight;
Na, faith ye yet! ye’ll no be right,
Till ye’ve got on it-
The verra tapmost, tow’rin height
O’ Miss’ bonnet.
My sooth! right bauld ye set your nose out,
As plump an’ grey as ony groset:
O for some rank, mercurial rozet,
Or fell, red smeddum,
I’d gie you sic a hearty dose o’t,
Wad dress your droddum.
I wad na been surpris’d to spy
You on an auld wife’s flainen toy;
Or aiblins some bit dubbie boy,
On’s wyliecoat;
But Miss’ fine Lunardi! fye!
How daur ye do’t?
O Jeany, dinna toss your head,
An’ set your beauties a’ abread!
Ye little ken what cursed speed
The blastie’s makin:
Thae winks an’ finger-ends, I dread,
Are notice takin.
O wad some Power the giftie gie us
To see oursels as ithers see us!
It wad frae mony a blunder free us,
An’ foolish notion:
What airs in dress an’ gait wad lea’e us,
An’ ev’n devotion!
A riposte to Robbie from -who else? – John Donne:
The Flea
Mark but this flea, and mark in this,
How little that which thou deniest me is;
It sucked me first, and now sucks thee,
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
Thou know’st that this cannot be said
A sin, nor shame, nor loss of maidenhead,
Yet this enjoys before it woo,
And pampered swells with one blood made of two,
And this, alas, is more than we would do.
Oh stay, three lives in one flea spare,
Where we almost, nay more than married are.
This flea is you and I, and this
Our mariage bed, and marriage temple is;
Though parents grudge, and you, w’are met,
And cloistered in these living walls of jet.
Though use make you apt to kill me,
Let not to that, self-murder added be,
And sacrilege, three sins in killing three.
Cruel and sudden, hast thou since
Purpled thy nail, in blood of innocence?
Wherein could this flea guilty be,
Except in that drop which it sucked from thee?
Yet thou triumph’st, and say’st that thou
Find’st not thy self, nor me the weaker now;
’Tis true; then learn how false, fears be:
Just so much honor, when thou yield’st to me,
Will waste, as this flea’s death took life from thee.

Huh.. next time I shall fly to Scotland in miniskirts to learn that mind tickling scotish-english. First I will feel myself as Flash Gordon and go to London to search for miniskirts there…I will report on that in the next Cafe.
Please enjoy the Russian musical sensation that is Victoria Cherentsova.
National Anthem of Russia
She has been joined by hundreds of live viewers while producing Periscope videos during her singing work commute in the Moscow area.
Although her music is freely available for download via herweb site, some listeners demanded that we be allowed to pay for it. So, you may now find her album “10 Days” on iTunes where it was recently rated as #7 and also onGoogle Play.
She shared her latest video here on Facebook.
I think it’s fantastic and very, very rich. Enjoy.
heart-seizing, mans anthem in russian
Russia – our sacred homeland,
Russia – our beloved country.
A mighty will, a great glory –
These are your heritage for all time!
Chorus:
Be glorious, our free Fatherland,
Age-old union of fraternal peoples,
Ancestor-given wisdom of the people!
Be glorious, our country! We are proud of you!
From the southern seas to the polar lands
Spread are our forests and fields.
You are unique in the world, one of a kind –
This native land protected by God!
Chorus
Wide expanse for dreams and for living

Our loyalty to the Fatherland gives us strength.
So it was, so it is, and so it always will be!

A Russian serviceman suffered a lethal injury after having prevented a suicide bomber from driving towards a humanitarian aid post in the Syrian province of Homs, the Russian Defense Ministry told Interfax on June 19.
“Andrei Timoshenkov, a serviceman escorting a humanitarian aid convoy of the Russian center for reconciliation of opposing sides in Syria, prevented a suicide bomber from driving towards a post allotting humanitarian aid to the population in the Homs province on June 15, 2016,” the ministry said.

Tell me what you think of this “article” from Canada’s National Post newspaper.
http://www.financialpost.com/m/wp/blog.html?b=business.financialpost.com/diane-francis/diane-francis-turning-ukraine-from-the-worlds-bread-basket-to-the-worlds-brain-basket
@ DickLenning
The tone of the article should ring alarm bells straightway, especially when Soros is part of the propaganda piece.
Just a little sample: a well-informed reader would know that Ukraine could not possibly have the second best educated population in the world. The only respectable source of education ranking that I know of is the United Nations Human Development Index where Ukraine scores 0.779, well below all OECD countries and many others. Just compare with Cuba at 0.819 or New Zealand and Australia at 0.913, the only countries to exceed the 0.900 mark.
Canada has a very vocal Ukrainian minority with some clout in Government and media and they are drumming up support for investment.
Moscow and Ukraine are at war? Really? Moscow declared war on Ukraine? I thought Putin had been very careful in avoiding getting dragged in to the US/NATO planned conflict and were just giving tacit support to eastern Ukrainians against the NATO/US fascist junta?
“Since the Revolution, Ukraine’s finances, taxes and economic condition have improved under the steady hand of the IMF”
Ha,ha,ha! What an utter crock, this tissue of lies!
As for IT professionals, they will have to compete against the millions already established in Asia.
This American Canadian Diane Francis writes (science) fiction apparently -and it shows.
To be honest, I did not bother to read past the headline. The goal was to show just how misinformed (to put it mildly) mainstream Canadians are on the Ukraine issue. Canadians want to believe they are different from America, but their foreign policies are the same, political correctness is even more strictly enforced; Canada really is the 51st state.
@ DickLenning
“Canada is really the 51st state”
There is stiff competition from the UK for that dishonour, especially now when they are about to get out of the EU – they really need a U to be attached to! – unless the masters of the universe step in and invalidate the referendum.
An interesting short history of propaganda, ending with some details about the Syrian civil war that wasn’t/isn’t.

This is devoted to the left side of the Saker Community and especially to Martin’s inner muse, 2 lines of verse behind him and thousands more to come. And to Fidel Castro who strode by me in 1959 in the Houston International Airport, in combat fatigues, with two other revolucionarios, behind them the tall windows and view of the tarmac on one side of them, and nothing but posts and temporary cordons between me and them.
A Man’s A Man For A’ That
Is there for honesty poverty
That hings his head, an’ a’ that;
The coward slave – we pass him by,
We dare be poor for a’ that!
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
Our toils obscure an’ a’ that,
The rank is but the guinea’s stamp,
The man’s the gowd for a’ that.
What though on hamely fare we dine,
Wear hoddin grey, an’ a’ that?
Gie fools their silks, and knaves their wine,
A man’s a man for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
Their tinsel show, an’ a’ that,
The honest man, tho’ e’er sae poor,
Is king o’ men for a’ that.
Ye see yon birkie ca’d a lord,
Wha struts, an’ stares, an’ a’ that;
Tho’ hundreds worship at his word,
He’s but a coof for a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
His ribband, star, an’ a’ that,
The man o’ independent mind
He looks an’ laughs at a’ that.
A prince can mak a belted knight,
A marquise, duke, an’ a’ that;
But an honest man’s aboon his might,
Gude faith, he maunna fa’ that!
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
Their dignities an’ a’ that,
The pith o’ sense, an’ pride o’ worth,
Are higher rank than a’ that.
Then let us pray that come it may,
(As come it will for a’ that,)
That Sense and Worth, o’er a’ the earth,
Shall bear the gree, an’ a’ that.
For a’ that, an’ a’ that,
It’s comin yet for a’ that
That man to man, the world o’er,
Shall brithers be for a’ that.
This has been set to music, and you may have heard it sung. It is written in Ayrshire dialect, and English, but the sentiments expressed are universal.
In Verse One, Burns is saying that wealth, or lack of it,and social class should not be the measure of a man’s true worth. ” The rank is but the guinea’s stamp” means that a person cannot be given a price. The man’s character is the true gold.
Verse Two continues the theme. We may wear ordinary clothes, and eat simple food, but appearance is just a show, like tinsel. Honesty is worth more than fancy clothes.
Now Verse Three might have got Burns into some trouble in Edinburgh. The birkie (cool young guy) who struts around, and has the title of Lord, is only a coof (an idiot). The man who learns to think for himself is worth much more than that.
Verse Four continues this theme. Princes can hand out titles at will, but honesty and pure goodness are worth much more. Self respect doesn’t come from inherited wealth or titles.
Verse Five is a prayer that Sense and Worth shall eventually agree with all mankind. Burns imagines a future world in which all people will live as brothers, in mutual trust and respect. “It’s coming yet, for a’ that”. Well, it hasn’t come yet Rabbie, but we live in hope.
Bro, back;
Sort of a Scottish Ode to Joy, ummm? Hope Martin and Fidel like it.
I bow my head in front of Burns and of You who gave him to me.
I’m really glad to meet both of You today when I gave a middle aged picture
may I leave with my current german adress?
http://mundanestagebuch.blogspot.de/2016/06/20.html
Not reading German very well, I note possible locations for you in Murnau or (apparently very rural) Alpenrand. Then I see Christmas Island, in Australian waters, just south of Java, Indonesia.
Intrepid traveller that I am, Mundoman, I still fear getting lost on the side of some mountain, or ending in the wrong constellation of the Zodiac, without further guidance. I am paying more attention to the sky. The moon at it zenith 2-3 nights back had Antares, Mars and Saturn preceding ii in setting west. My wife knows German. If she is inclined to save me, that might come in handy, but she is more likely to hold her tongue, and await her chance to chide me.
I go by instincts, which drives her nuts, but wait till you see the discovery getting lost in Victorville led me to on Saturday: A yucca plant in bloom, a spire 6-8 inches thick at the base that I swear might go in the Guiness Book of World Records. 25 ft high, with a score or two of flower clusters branching off in all directions, with hundreds of busy bees buzzing about with a background of clear blue sky. I’ll send you an email with attached photo! Tschuess!!

Thanks again for the Scottish one, now I invite you for a Scott Whiskey in the Cafe…
Why, thank ye, ioan. Now we’re getting into better “spirits”!
And after the Scotch, we’ll go Irish Whiskey in the Jar, on me: https://youtu.be/hlWTASnnft4

Whiskey in the Jar
As I was going over the far famed Kerry Mountains
I met with Captain Farrell and his money he was counting
I first produced me pistol and then produced me rapier
Said: “Stand and deliver” for he was a bold deceiver
Musha ring dumma do dumma daa
Wack fol the daddy-ol
Wack fol the daddy-ol
There’s whiskey in the jar
I counted out his money and it made a pretty penny
I put it in me pocket and brought it home to Jenny
She sighed and she swore that she never would deceive me
But the devil take the woman for they never can be easy
Musha ring dumma do dumma daa
Wack fol the daddy-ol
Wack fol the daddy-ol
There’s whiskey in the jar
I went up to me chamber all for to take a slumber
I dreamt of gold and jewels and for sure it was no wonder
But Jenny drew me charges and she filled them up with water
And sent for Captain Farrell to ready for the slaughter
Musha ring dumma do dumma daa
Wack fol the daddy-ol
Wack fol the daddy-ol
There’s whiskey in the jar
‘Twas early in the morning just before I rose to travel
Up comes a band of footman and likewise Captain Farrell
I first produced me pistol for she stolen away me rapier
I couldn’t shoot for water so a prisoner a was taken
Musha ring dumma do dumma daa
Wack fol the daddy-ol
Wack fol the daddy-ol
There’s whiskey in the jar
If anyone can aid tis my brother in the army
If I could find his station in Cork or in Killarney
And if he’d come with me we’ll go roamin’ in Killkenny
And I’m sure he treat me better than me own a’sportin Jenny
Musha ring dumma do dumma daa

At to that this article at fortruss – http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/06/mh17-commissions-precarious-situation.html – possibly Russia has the missile body of the BUK missile that shot down MH17 – with the serial numbers to trace its ownership..
Also it seems that whoever offered the $30 million reward got the information they required – Russia?
Putin to CNN host after the St Petersburg economic forum ..
How are the sanctions that you have mentioned affecting the United States? In no way whatsoever. It could not care less about these sanctions because the consequences of our actions in response have no impact on it. They impact Europe but not the United States. Zero effect. However, the Americans are telling their partners: “Be patient.” Why should they? I do not understand. If they want to, let them. http://en.kremlin.ru/events/president/news/52178
Some time ago I read an article on US/Russia trade and EU/Russia trade. It seems that although US/Russia trade actually increased under sanctions, EU/Russia trade decreased to the detriment of the EU.
The US pushed the EU to sanction Russia on the back of MH17. If Russia has all the evidence of the who,how, when of the MH17 shootdown, then it may be just a matter of patience and waiting for the EU to start breaking away from the US.
@ Peter AU
“… waiting for the EU to start breaking away from the US”
I think you have to wait a long time, mate. The MH17 incident was only a pretext for inciting anti-Russia hysteria; the same happened with the sanctions against Iran as it was widely known that Iran did not have a nuke programme, or Cuba being in the Washington list of state-sponsored terrorism, etc.
From whatever perspective you look at it, there is no sane reason for EU to impose sanctions on Russia, yet they did it to shoot themselves in the foot. Some, lesser countries do it out of group conformity, but the big ones (Germany, France, Uk, Italy) are ruled by elites in step with the US.
Do you remember the Iraq tragedy 2? All the surveys in Western Europe (and Australia) – and massive demonstrations never seen before or after in European cities (and Australia) – showed consistent opposition by large margins against the US, yet the ruling elites went along with Bush, although Germany and France made a pretence of staying out of it.
The question is: why they slavishly obey US’s commands? Corruption and blackmail in high places is not unknown and arm-twisting is not contrary to US diplomacy. And there is always the spectre of Gladio in the background to convince the occasional recalcitrant. France is a case in point: it is ruled by a “socialist” president who, in a normal world, would be dead set against the US empire, yet he is the most docile poodle in the pack. The St Nazaire shipyards are next to idle, the farmers in revolt, yet the clown in the Elisee Palace applies US foreign policy against his own country! Is he being coerced lest Paris suffers another “terrorist” attack?
Bullhorns uncensored – Cross-Talk
https://www.rt.com/shows/crosstalk/347416-us-syria-regime-change/
^ About that latest Cross-Talk [second segment, near the end] there was something that Peter said there that worried me (I’m not slagging him off, he’s just passing the info along, just as it’s his job) I’m paraphrasing, but he said something along the lines that Putin doesn’t want a divided EU (answering to false accusations that Putin is behind or backing Brexit) he wants a stronger EU (meaning: more independent from the US). While that may be quite true, it’s kind of alarming.
It’s reminiscing of the same Yank policy of wanting to keep the EU together so they don’t have to deal with 28 nations separately. I don’t know what it is that Putin doesn’t understand about this simple premise; if two or three EU nations have to go against a voting block of over 20 countries, his independent vision of the EU will never-ever happen. Not in a million years. It’s just a matter of numbers. Veto powers for individual EU nations are quite limited and I’m not so sure they extend to things like foreign policy (namely: sanctions or military action), or even on trade with countries outside the EU for that matter.
Someone needs to inform him that the EU doesn’t work like the Security Council does = Veto powers get invoked and therefore the motion/resolution gets killed. It doesn’t work like that, not in the EU anyways.
Now, I’m not saying he should come out and declare his aversion to the EU, with all the Russophobia going-on in the media? It’d be madness! He’s well advised to stay quiet on that, but equally; he shouldn’t be so keen as being perceived as being too positive about the EU (as an institution, trading-block or whatever) either.

Elsi: ! y De Vuelta!
Well, it is essential to debunk Darwin, the chosen god of exploitation, and his many millions of beastly apostles. So I continue with another reading from Peter Kropotkin’s “Mutual Aid as a Factor in Evolution”:
In the last Cafe installment, Kropotkin summarized his first to chapters, on the animal world. Now he examines Mutual Aid Among the Savages, in Chapter 3…..
“It is evident that it would be quite contrary to all that we know of nature if men were an exception to so general a rule: if a creature so defenceless as man was at his beginnings should have found his protection and his way to progress, not in mutual support, like other animals, but in a reckless competition for personal advantages, with no regard to the interests of the species. To a mind accustomed to the idea of unity in nature, such a proposition appears utterly indefensible. And yet, improbable and unphilosophical as it is, it has never found a lack of supporters. There always were writers who took a pessimistic view of mankind. They knew it, more or less superficially, through their own limited experience; they knew of history what the annalists, always watchful of wars, cruelty, and oppression, told of it, and little more besides; and they concluded that mankind is nothing but a loose aggregation of beings, always ready to fight with each other, and only prevented from so doing by the intervention of some authority. Hobbes took that position; ”
And that is the real ideology of the Empire. Next excerpt is especially for Dennis:
Pg 55 “To tell the matter as briefly as possible, there is little doubt that mankind has passed at its beginnings through a stage which may be described as that of “communal marriage”; that is, the whole tribe had husbands and wives in common with but little regard to consanguinity. But it is also certain that some restrictions to that free intercourse were imposed at a very early period. Intermarriage was soon prohibited between the sons of one mother and her sisters, granddaughters, and aunts. Later on it was prohibited between the sons and daughters of the same mother, and further limitations did not fail to follow. The idea of a gens, or clan, which embodied all presumed descendants from one stock (or rather all those who gathered in one group) was evolved, and marriage within the clan was entirely prohibited. It still remained “communal,” but the wife or the husband had to be taken from another clan. And when a gens became too numerous, and subdivided into several gentes, each of them was divided into classes (usually four), and marriage was permitted only between certain well defined classes. That is the stage which we find now among the Kamilaroi speaking Australians. As to the family, its first germs appeared amidst the clan organization. A woman who was captured in war from some other clan, and who formerly would have belonged to the whole gens, could be kept at a later period by the capturer, under certain obligations towards the tribe. She may be taken by him to a separate hut, after she had paid a certain tribute to the clan, and thus constitute within the gens a separate family, the appearance of which evidently was opening a quite new phase of civilization.(8*)…………..”
This next part is from the coldest northern extremes of the planet, but I am confident it will warm the cockels of Martin’s Soviet heart:
“Eskimo life is based upon communism. What is obtained by hunting and fishing belongs to the clan. But in several tribes, especially in the West, under the influence of the Danes, private property penetrates into their institutions. However, they have an original means for obviating the inconveniences arising from a personal accumulation of wealth which would soon destroy their tribal unity. When a man has grown rich, he convokes the folk of his clan to a great festival, and, after much eating, distributes among them all his fortune. On the Yukon river, Dall saw an Aleonte family distributing in this way ten guns, ten full fur dresses, 200 strings of beads, numerous blankets, ten wolf furs, 200 beavers, and 500 zibelines. After that they took off their festival dresses, gave them away, and, putting on old ragged furs, addressed a few words to their kinsfolk, saying that though they are now poorer than any one of them, they have won their friendship.(29*) Like distributions of wealth appear to be a regular habit with the Eskimos, and to take place at a certain season, after an exhibition of all that has been obtained during the year.(30*) In my opinion these distributions reveal a very old institution, contemporaneous with the first apparition of personal wealth; ”
Now to conclude this week’s Kropotkin Antidote to Darwin Brainwashing, what is most dear to my heart in the entire masterpiece:
“The high standard of the tribal morality of the Eskimos has often been mentioned in general literature. Nevertheless the following remarks upon the manners of the Aleoutes — nearly akin to the Eskimos — will better illustrate savage morality as a whole. They were written, after a ten years’ stay among the Aleoutes, by a most remarkable man — the Russian missionary, Veniaminoff. I sum them up, mostly in his own words: — Endurability (he wrote) is their chief feature. It is simply colossal. Not only do they bathe every morning in the frozen sea, and stand naked on the beach, inhaling the icy wind, but their endurability, even when at hard work on insufficient food, surpasses all that can be imagined. During a protracted scarcity of food, the Aleoute cares first for his children; he gives them all he has, and himself fasts. They are not inclined to stealing; that was remarked even by the first Russian immigrants. Not that they never steal; every Aleoute would confess having sometime stolen something, but it is always a trifle; the whole is so childish. The attachment of the parents to their children is touching, though it is never expressed in words or pettings. The Aleoute is with difficulty moved to make a promise, but once he has made it he will keep it whatever may happen. (An Aleoute made Veniaminoff a gift of dried fish, but it was forgotten on the beach in the hurry of the departure. He took it home. The next occasion to send it to the missionary was in January; and in November and December there was a great scarcity of food in the Aleoute encampment. But the fish was never touched by the starving people, and in January it was sent to its destination.) Their code of morality is both varied and severe. It is considered shameful to be afraid of unavoidable death; to ask pardon from an enemy; to die without ever having killed an enemy; to be convicted of stealing; to capsize a boat in the harbour; to be afraid of going to sea in stormy weather. to be the first in a party on a long journey to become an invalid in case of scarcity of food; to show greediness when spoil is divided, in which case every one gives his own part to the greedy man to shame him; to divulge a public secret to his wife; being two persons on a hunting expedition, not to offer the best game to the partner; to boast of his own deeds, especially of invented ones; to scold any one in scorn. Also to beg; to pet his wife in other people’s presence, and to dance with her to bargain personally: selling must always be made through a third person, who settles the price. For a woman it is a shame not to know sewing, dancing and all kinds of woman’s work; to pet her husband and children, or even to speak to her husband in the presence of a stranger.(32*) Such is Aleoute morality, which might also be further illustrated by their tales and legends. Let me also add that when Veniaminoff wrote (in 1840) one murder only had been committed since the last century in a population of 60,000 people, and that among 1,800 Aleoutes not one single common law offence had been known for forty years. This will not seem strange if we remark that scolding, scorning, and the use of rough words are absolutely unknown in Aleoute life. Even their children never fight, and never abuse each other in words.”
In the early 1970’s a few short years after receiving my degree from an Ivy League university, I fled such a fate as that ordinarily entails (Wall Street, for example….) and found myself in the Aleutian Islands, with an address that read:
PanAlaska
Unalaska, Alaska
Unalaska is an island in the Aleutian chain and perhaps the first location of widespread interaction between Russians and native Americans. Russianfur hunters and missionaries killed no Aleuts that I know of, took many Aleut wives, and to this day the religion of native residents of the Aleutian Islands is Russian Orhtodoxy:
A short walk from the PanAlaska crab processing complex where I worked for a time alongside Mexican and Filipino cannery workers was the national landmark Russian Orthodox Church of the Holy Ascension (1825) , the first slide out of many in this photo-tour of the area:

Many thanks for the information. Kropokin and me agree that there was communal marriage. Marriage is a modern term not quite fitting but it will do for purposes of discussion.
My sources are gene studies, ancient texts like about Eden and Elysium, the out of the usual appearance of our species in long developments of time, the sudden change in sexual characteristics, particularly with womam, the stunning aesthetics of physical beauty, the traces of consciousness in the brains of contemporaries which indicates ancient memories, extrapolation back in time through the many layers of societal changes, deconstruction of the patriarchal mindset, following real earthly causation rather than faith based beliefs, my own condensation of reasonable interpretations, my own intuitions based on suggestions that seem to come from our ancestors of pre-historical times, and, if I may be so bold as to claim knowledge that does not come from our metaphysical paradigm of being and sufficient reason.
I bear in mind that someone like Kropotkin is observing events that have been colored by hundreds of thousands of years of patriarchal conditioning, which makes it suspicious in my view. Yet, the fact, that some traces of communal marriage remain, is significant.
As I’ve alluded to, I think in terms of broad brush strokes when it comes to time periods. I think that our species definitively arrived about 100,000 years past. They thrived for about 25,000 years with the protections of newness and advanced acuity of consciousness, which they received as gifts from their creators from the star fields.
At about 75,000 years ago patriarchy began its campaign of terror by killing animals and eating them, bulking up muscles and higher blood counts than womem, and then turning their power against womem, turning them into women sex slaves, by patrix marriage and property laws.
What we have today with the new world order of slavery is a logical development from those ancient times. It is critical that we understand our original template and the powers that destroyed it. Patriarchy has mechanisms for brainwashing us so we don’t know our herstory, which makes Brexit a cakewake for them to destroy moves for freedom.
The love army (and love armory) understand the big picture, and have advocated the counter-measures of ten divisions: thought, food, animals, marriage, money, drugs, abortion, birth control, prostitution and pornography. Unlike the patrix paradigm of abstract virtues and vices, which merely distract, the love army focuses on concrete action that actually make a difference in issues of war and love.
Thanks again, for stimulating a discussion in this critical area, which is ignored like the plague by our culture. I’m speaking quickly, but I want to complete this cafe of unwashed dishes before it gets washed away by the next one. I want to go back and review the latest comments.
It’s hotter than a pistol in S. Cal where I live. The solar solstice arrives here at 3:33 pm. I choose to believe that the sun is our Lover. She’s made the long hard climb this time around, so at 3:34 the downhill ride should be easier in some ways but harder in others. It’s sometimes harder to walk downhill, and if we are in speedy machines we can get going too fast and lose control. My fearful intuition has red lights flashing around election time here in the states this fall.
With humans Bro, what you see is what there is. Generally psychopaths get to the top (occasionally somebody that wants to do good for others gets to the top), The masses in the middle going along with the psychopaths, and a few oddballs at the other end of the spectrum that get their news from alternative media.
Technology and industry has greatly “improved” war. From chucking a few spears at each other (different tribes at the right season) to 24/7 total warfare.
Take a look around. We are what we are. Industrial warfare is more deadly than nomadic or hunter gatherer warfare, but groups of humans have always fought other groups of humans.
OK. But what I am trying to get at is that that which you describe is merely a condition of humanity that is often programmed into us, but it is not the nature of humanity. Our nature is that we are programmable. Our task is to clean up the bad programs and install better ones. And not to accept psychopathic rule as some sort of Darwinian feature of “superior” beings more “fit” to survive than the rest of us, because they have no conscience that gets in their way.
Kropotkin advances mutual aid as a principle of evolution, and IMHO proves his case much better than Darwin or Hobbes prove theirs. If you differ, and side with Darwin and Hobbes, why visit a site that rallies human beings against the Empire of psychopaths War on Russia?
Clarify, please. In the next Cafe.
looks like the US is about to step their efforts to destabilize the Asia Pacific region.

The U.S. Navy chief said on Monday he hoped the deployment of two aircraft carriers on a training mission in East Asia would deter any attempts to destabilize the region, where military tensions have risen amid China’s growing assertiveness.
The U.S. carriers John C. Stennis and Ronald Reagan began joint operations in seas east of the Philippines at the weekend in a show of strength ahead of an international court ruling expected soon on China’s expansive territorial claims in the contested South China Sea.
Admiral John Richardson, the chief of U.S. Naval Operations, told a Washington think tank it was not often the United States had two carrier strike groups in the same waters and it was a sign of U.S. commitment to regional security.
He referred to a similar deployment of a second U.S. carrier in the Mediterranean Sea last week, at a time when U.S. officials are raising alarm over Russia’s maritime expansion.
What has happened to Andrew Korybko? I haven’t seen any articles by him on Saker or Sputnik for a while now. He is the most brilliant global political analyst (other than The Saker!:) ) I know of. And at 25 years of age! I miss him and hope he’s back soon.
Howdi everybody!
Tomorrow I am going into my week-long “academic marathon” and, frankly, I will miss you all. It is going to be tough for me to stay away from the blog, but I have to do that. I just wanted to drop by to thank you all for being here and for your patience and support with me.
Hugs to all,
The Saker
