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
A few analysts and journalist have been speaking/writing of a new cold war.
US vs Russia, Russia/China.
The US cannot afford a long cold war. Its economy went into intensive care in the GFC, with massive injections of QE keeping it alive. The trillions of dollars where gambled on the banks and stock market. Not put into solid projects to revive the economy.
The gamble it seems was that the US could take control of Russia’s resources and contain and control China.
In Ukraine, rather than gaining Crimea as a NATO base against Russia, it was lost forever to Russia.
Donbass can never be taken as it is right beside Russia, where Russia has fire control over the area.
The pivot on China, a plan long in the making, involving moving 60% of naval assets to the Asia Pacific, and turning the countries there against China. That collapsed completely when ASEAN ignored the US pushed and orchestrated “Hague” judgment, saying instead it would negotiate with China.
Syria, there the US is blocked, Putin playing the US like a fiddle. The hasty coup against Erdogan when he turned towards Russia backfired spectacularly giving Erdogan even more power. A gift from god as Erdogan put it. The double cross of the Kurds as Erdogan moved into Syria. Now the Syrian Kurds hate the US with a vengeance. The US special forces, trying to weasel in with Edogan’s headchoppers were run out of town.
The hit on Syrian forces at Deir Ezzor was bad, but the US has dropped its fig leaf and openly supported ISIS.
Many hasty, reactionary moves that have put it in a far worse position.
I think the reason for making all these hasty moves recently that have failed and are more and more exposing the US for what it is, is that it cannot keep its economy afloat much longer.
Two schemes, long in the making, the TPP and TTIP sem to have failed.
TPP although sighned up by some countries may yet fail, but even if it doesn’t, the few countries that the US has tied into it will not keep the US afloat. TTIP has failed
The injections of quantitative easing are about to wear off and the US has failed in its gamble.
Very dangerous times.
This post by Uncle Bob in the thread on Syria a couple of days ago deserves careful consideration.

After observing events in the last few months I’ve come to similar, if somewhat more somber conclusions. I believe there is a high probability that Russia will in the end “be subverted” through the relentless array of means employed by the US to acquire control of other countries. The image of a dog with a bone, that never really lets go, is apt. It seems to me the US views the Putin presidency as a kind of anomaly, a temporary reversal in the process. It also views the so called “fifth column” within Russia as susceptible of substantial growth among the Russian ruling class. With regard to this “fifth column” it is a grave mistake to assess its power in term of its size alone. It is the status and influence of its members that matters most. The US knows how to subvert the ruling classes of a nation, and from their point of view, the Russian elites are as buyable as any.
Russia is understandably wary of causing a hot war by responding forcefully to the endless series of provocations and tauntings from the US side. But the continuous language of appeasement by Russia emboldens the agressors more and more. It may be that the only scenario where this process will stop is either
1 a hot war between US/NATO and Russia, ending with huge levels of destruction on both sides. This is really not a pleasant scenario to contemplate.
2. Some kind of radical political change in Russia, going into full autarky mode after a thorough massive purging of “atlanticists”, a kind of reversal to cold-war days. This is very unlikely in the absence of a real alternative ideology to capitalism.
3. Some kind of radical regime change in the US. This is really wishful thinking.
4. A soft gradual capitulation by the Russian ruling classes to the charms of US subvertive greasings, enjoying the pleasures of opulent submission.
Depressing prospects. But I don’t see much use in resorting to outlandish theories such as the one that suggests the recent attacks by the US (on Syrian troops AND on the aid convoy) are the result of a “rebellion” by insane elements of the US side, and therefore more diplomacy and more “ceasefires” are the only answer…
Putin is indeed an ‘anomaly’.
In this age of deception, each intelligent, independent, humble, loving individual is an anomaly.
But an intelligent, independent, humble, loving person – who also knows all tricks of the trade – making it to become the leader of a powerful nation, is almost unheard of.
Putin must be well aware that preparing the ground for a smooth power transition to a Post-Putin-Russia may be the most delicate and difficult task of his life.
I have no doubt that he is diligently working on it since the first day in office to the best of his abilities.
Sounds rather pessimistic… You also have weaknesses in the Deep State. The members are a very small group, effectively in place with military, economic and political power. These people have their own individual weaknesses that can and will be exploited, as history shows.
The next war might get a lot more “personal” for the elites from all sides.
unlikely in the absence of a real alternative ideology to capitalism.?????? what do you mean, non-non? like maybe a hundred million Russians and another several hundred worldwide that have an “ideology” of social justice, real democracy, egalitarian community? Only the coterie of financial predators stand in the way, and should be just booted.
US capitalism has developed into an ideology and they are trapped within it, limiting freedom of movement.
A country not trapped in a stated ideology is free to bend with the wind and spring back. Far stronger.
Perhaps fairness, understanding and justice could be named as Russia’s new ideology. This allows much freedom of movement. Add to that peoples pride in their country…..
“Perhaps fairness, understanding and justice could be named as Russia’s new ideology.”
Good grief, so that explains what Nussiminen never could – being the savage inequality exemplified 3rd item from last here http://www.gks.ru/bgd/regl/b14_12/IssWWW.exe/stg/d01/07-01.htm
Waiter, some more Kool-Aid for the goodr Sir.
Ah, the one trick pony trained by the Empire elites (and quite possibly never knowing how they continue to hold him in their thrall) trots out the same tired old Empire response and linked file for the umpteenth time: Russia Bad! There are rich people there!
As the Chinese would say, “We wolking on it!”
It ain’t that easy to make life better for populations that are under threat of foreign conquest and enslavement, but Mr Putin is doing a better job of it, I dare say, than a western dolt one trick pony might be entrusted to do.
(Sorry, I’ve been too busy for cafe’s and the valiant Finn or that Russian cat I am trying to remember the name of, apparently cannot man rat patrol duty 24/7 all by themselves.)
So I’m delighted to volunteer, occasionally.
Saker banned him once, by his own admission. which is why he hides and only darts out occasionally, when the cat’s away.
Anonymouse doesn’t approve of Putin’s national achievements.
The overwhelming majority population in Russia does.
Still, Anonymouse could indeed make a difference with regard to Russia’s income disparities. If Putin stepped down after having duly appointed Anonymouse as Russia’s new Head of State, Western imperialism would instantly seize the opportunity (possibly in accordance with an official invitation sent out by Anonymouse-in-the-Kremlin) and terminally smash Russia to pieces, robbing her blind. Hence, no more Western degenerates giving a hoot about the subject. Problem solved.

The article below submitted by Jeremiah Johnson (nom de plume of a retired Green Beret of the United States Army Special Forces) via SHTFPlan.com, is a bit extreme, but every single scenario, four in total, he described is becoming, daily, very well plausible. There is a growing indication of a bigger conflict, the leaderless US regime is possibly getting itself into a corner and as seen in nature nothing good comes out of a corned beast, provocations have happened in all fronts, visa vis the recent USAF support to ISIS in Der ez Zor.
Hopefully the world will be better prepared for some classic human stupidity, I can not stop thinking about Putin’s judo mind when comes to a broader conflict, how to use the opponent strength against himself/herself, the next 2 months will be really remarkable in all aspects.
Thuc’s nuke scenario is becoming a reality. God bless Syria and its allies.

September 22nd, 2016 at 9:19 PM [Level 10 – Cesar]
robin, Russia seems to have decided to flex its muscle and use much more air power after the ceasefire was blatantly broken by the US after it spearheaded ISIS attack in Der ez Zor with aim to partition Syria (Der ez Zor is vital for Syria’s unity).
There will be a race to Der ez Zor, even the Iraqis are pushing hard now to destroy ISIS from al Qaim, border town. ISF is advancing in Anbar and it will defeat ISIS in that Province on the double, that is the Iraq’s contribution to keeping Syria unity, with that ISIS will be in bad situation to support constant attacks to Der ez Zor city and Iraqi militia may indeed advance up the Euphrates to help liberate cities under ISIS and prevent teh US Military plan of partitioning Syria.
By now it is obvious to many that this war of aggression against Syria will escalate to unprecedented violence, Russia will have a strong felt presence from now onwards, it will be much more intense then the Su24 downing by Turkey reaction, the situation is really serious at the moment.
A side note, there was an info recently that a Syrian kurdish delegation went to Lattakia to meet the Syrian Government and Russia, the info is limited and it is not clear which faction went there, the Syrian kurds alliance started to break up since the Hasaka sad event, they are not unified at all, we won’t know details for sure, maybe some hints on the battle filed.

Re the Kurds: Barzani-controlled Iraqi peshmerga are aiming to play major role in control of Mosul, backed by US (ie Pentagon):
http://ekurd.net/retake-kurdish-land-mosul-2016-09-24
Notable avoidance of nationalist rhetoric and denial of any intentions of land-grabbing: possibly the increasingly obvious analogy to the ethnofascist Israel is causing them to proceed with caution.
Good overview of the situation re the Mosul dam, which may be slated to play a role in the much-desired partitioning of Iraq/Syria:

oooohhh…a dark and dingy picture of a cafe, in the cool away from the bright artificial streetlights,mesh shutters ready to protect its participants from the troublesome world..and away from american bourbon falsely and desparately hanging from an ‘artificial’ lamp light symbolically……..maybe a place of respite for Dennis away from the heat of the sun……….I hope his ‘wonder’ piece of some months ago that really made us know him in his mystical and spiritual being is somewhere safe, maybe behind the bar or displayed on a shelf to be carefully brought down and shared amongst discerning customers….I am having dark times with my work manager in their own artificial light of being which is driving me restless, very unsettled, stressed and fed up……….but I sat out in the lovely autumn sun at lunchtime……..a robin has been in and around the garden these last few days, so i will try to find some places to put a nest box: apparently they seek quiet, near to the ground places, where they can build a nest with a concealed entrance, and of course are very territorial, so that summarises how I feel at the moment too. Territorial in that my work experience of 25years plus is being challenged very unnecessarily, being asked again to justify myself in every action and blamed for others indecision and wrong decision making…..so symbolic of the times when western powers will not accept truths but only their own falsehoods….
so guys and gals, a time to hunker down for the winter in our own bunkers away from the craaaaazeeeeeessss, maybe its time for a quarterly contribution to Saker,and find friends in the cafe as Ioan says, keep our underground networks going but safe in the light of our own knowing, truths and believing.Have a good weekend everyone.
A robin hung out with me while I was hedge-cutting: turned out he/she was interested in the beetles revealed in the cutback.
Would love to assist his/her house-hunting – any ideas to make an area cat-proof?
Super…yes, we tried cat pepper etc..expensive etc..what really works is I stapled vertically some very flimsy wire mesh to the top of the solid wooden fixed fence which is about 5ft….my thinking is that cats do not like the feel of wire mesh on their feet and claws or in between their claws,and being floppy or wobbly if they try to climb up it it makes them feel very insecure, and it seems to work….mesh about half inch space….sticking up about 12 inches above the fixed fence, make sure no vegetation is touching it or above it so cats cannot take a leap above the mesh….cats can claw up a wooden fence….my neighbour has that sort of cheapish bamboo vertical slats 5ft high on a roll, it is too hard for cats claws to get into.
Perhaps a larger mesh might do….I have not got a large garden, and I cut the mesh into strips from a 3ft roll…..very tedious by hand with cutters and boy is it sharp too, took me all day.
!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks JJ.
I’ll definitely try your tips – though
others will be doing the cutting ;-)
Saker, how about your comments on the failed coup attempt in LPR this week?
Better still, as part of a greater assessment of the 2 republics and what is happening with the apparent (but not to be trusted) pull back in 3 areas (given 1 month to move back 2 kms, that’s only 67 metres per day!), followed by maybe 10 more areas?
Also, biden’s – hopefully by now – fading influence, if not meddling/ordering in USUkraine (all in caps to indicate the true state of Ukraine)?

Fort Russ has a detailed article on the subject.
Soviet Leaders Should Have Implemented Prevent USSR’s Collapse
https://sputniknews.com/russia/20160923/1045631408/russia-ussr-communist-democratic.html
“You know my attitude toward the fall of the Soviet Union. It was totally unnecessary. The reforms, including the ones of democratic nature, could had been carried out without it,” Putin said at a meeting with party leaders.”
Meanwhile, close to home:
Nestle outbids small Ontario municipality to buy well for bottled water
by KEITH LESLIE, THE CANADIAN PRESS
A small but fast growing Ontario community looking for a safe drinking water supply has been outbid in its attempt to buy a well by multinational giant Nestle, which acquired the site to ensure “future business growth.”
Nestle, which can already take up to 3.6 million litres of water a day for bottling at its site in nearby Aberfoyle, Ont., bought the well from Middlebrook Water Company last month after having made a conditional offer in 2015.
A spokesman for Nestle said the company had “no idea” the other bidder for the five-hectare site was the Township of Centre Wellington, but it waived all conditions and matched the competing offer so it could complete the purchase.
Nestle said the Middlebrook site will be a “supplemental well for future business growth” and a backup for its plant in Aberfoyle.
Sabbatai Zevi and Sabbatean Frankism – The Satanic Cult That Rules the World
Infiltation of the Elite Oligarchs and their families – Atlantic Integrationists anyone? – in Every Nation in the World – is their tactic.
They don’t advocate a Satanic kingdom. They gently steer you that way by questioning the existence of God, by demanding “sexual liberation,” “independence” for women, “internationalism,” “diversity” and “religious tolerance.” These all have a hidden agenda: to undermine “all collective forces except our own.”
Sexual Excess as a Religion
We are told “free love” is “progressive and modern.” In fact, like Satanism the Sabbatean sect has indulged in Sexual Rituals including wife sharing, sex orgies, adultery and incest – increasing sexual addiction leading on to homosexuality, pedophilia, bestiality, and pornography for more than 350 years. They have inducted us into their cult.
Antelman cites the proceedings of a rabbinical court where Shmuel, son of Shlomo tearfully confessed he had rejected the Torah and had encouraged his wife to have sex several times with Hershel. “I am guilty. She did not want to.” (111)
Jacob Frank pimped his beautiful wife to recruit influential men.
Adam Weiskaupt, the founder of the Illuminati, got his sister-in-law pregnant.
A pertinent anecdote: In his book, “The Other Side of Deception,” Mossad defector Victor Ostrovsky described how the Mossad relax. At a party, the staff, including many unmarried young females, congregated around a pool, totally naked.
The Holocaust
The influence of the Sabbatean conspiracy is hidden in plain sight. For example, the term “Holocaust” is used without regard to its true meaning. Rabbi Antelman states that well before World War Two, the term meant “burnt offering” as in sacrifice. (p.199)
As at Bohemian Grove – we see in pictures and videos – Human Sacrifice of a child, whether real or not, by burning, is the Ritual of “The Cremation of Care” in front of a Forty Foot high statue of an Owl symbolising Minerva and thus Cybele and Attis – the State Religion of the Roman Empire – inducing a closing of the heart, lack of empathy and conscience – Psychopathy as the aim. This Ritual is attended – we have the pictures – by major World Oligarchs, Presidents of the United States, scientists, Hollywood stars – The creation of people tough enough to do what is necessary to attain their end result.
He quotes Bruno Bettleheim who says “calling the most callous, most brutal, most horrid. most heinous mass murder a ‘burnt offering’ is a sacrilege, a profanation of God and man.” (205)
Whose sacrifice was it? For what purpose? Obviously, it has something to do with the Sabbateans’ occult practice. Every time we use that word, we unwittingly join in their sacrilege.
According to Antelman, the Sabbateans hated Jews and sought their extinction. He cites rabbis who warned as far back as 1750 that if the Jews didn’t stop the Sabbateans, they would be destroyed by them. (209)
And indeed when some Jews tried to save European Jewry from genocide, Antelman says “the conservative and reform communities [in the US] went their merry way ignoring these activities. So called establishment organizations like the American Jewish Congress, American Jewish Committee, and B’nai Brith did virtually nothing.” (217)
Intermarriage
Sabbateans only marry within their demonic sect. They often marry into top elite bloodline families of rich, influential Gentiles. Thus, the Fourth Baron Rothschild (Jacob’s) mother was not Jewish nor is his wife.
Another example is Al Gore’s daughter Karenna’s 1997 marriage to Andrew Schiff, the great grandson of Jacob Schiff. Gore’s father was a Senator sponsored by Armand Hammer (Occidental Petroleum) whose own father was the infiltraitor founder of the American Communist party. Like Hitlery and Dubya, Al Gore is another Illuminati agent in charge with his Company – “Blood and Gore” of the Trillion Dollar Carbon Tax scam – his reward for allowing fellow Bohemian and member of the Nazi Death Cult, “Skull and Bones” of Yale University, Bush, to win the Presidential election..
Conclusion
Mankind is in the grip of a vicious Satanic cult whose power is so great, they can make their war against humanity seem normal and inevitable. Even when their plot is exposed, they can convince everyone that it is racist and in bad taste to believe it. They have men fixated on porn while they erect a police state.
Western society is morally bankrupt. This elaborate cult network controls politics, information and culture. Most leaders are dupes or traitors. The “Intelligentsia” has been bribed while the public is distracted and lives in a fool’s paradise.
Like most nations and religions, Jews have been subverted from within. Zionists are pawns of the Sabbateans who used the “holocaust” to engineer the creation of Israel. Millions of Jews been “sacrificed” to create a Sabbatean Homeland, a “burnt offering” to Satan.
God gave man Life: a Miracle full of inherent Beauty and Meaning. He gave us everything we need to develop according to his Plan.
But people who think limitless power and wealth are better than infinite love have hijacked humanity. They want to spoil our Divine Rendezvous and enslave us instead. This is the real meaning of our politics and our time.

There was a big wind last night here; scattered and knocked things over; I sleep outside under a tarp so I felt the force of it.
From my readings here it seems the winds of war are working up to a perfect storm.
But then, Pepe Escobar rides to the rescue with his just arrived post: “Les Deplorables.” It confirms what I said, that the the US is all bluff and bluster, a boggie-man of the Empire, which has no more desire to be morning toast than anyone else. Donald and Hillary are king and queen of the theater of the absurd, while the real action goes on undisturbed.
I keep my finger on the pulse of war, thanks to Uncle Bob, Peter AU, Saker and so many others. I appreciate it for its entertainment and containment of my anxieties, which get out of control with each new bad news blow. I must have been born in a wind storm and left out to dry.
I need perspective and protection, “shelter from the storm.” I run to this vineyard when the clouds gather but I’m afraid of it too. It might tell me something I don’t want to hear, like the writing on those walls. Oh, the wailing at the wall when the tall ones fall, and there’s no more money for the mall.
After the high winds, I woke this morning to the most awesome spectacle of ruddy red streaked clouds on the sun’s rise. I thought of a saker, on a wind current high, like the Windhover poem I’m untangling here. The saker hovered in the wind of my mind. Symbol of strength and clear vision. Love Falcon of my “heart in hiding,” in his riding and striding high there in the air of his ecstasy. His hurl and gliding rebuffed the big wind — the achieve of; the mastery of the thing! (to hell with quotation marks), Brute beauty and valor and act, oh, air, pride, plume here Buckle your wings and drop like a rocket, and the fire that breaks from thee then, a billion times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my Love, fall, gall and gash gold-vermillion.
Oh, sweet love, where were you last night? In those wild winds that ran before the red dawn? Where are you today when the world is held at bay? How long must I wait at your veiled gate? No, love, not yet. I’m not ready to board that midnight train. I need to love you in your earthly dress until I’ve had my fill. I must be alive when that train stops for me, not like that night when it ran right by. I was not ready and you knew it.
In your love date calendar, this is the week of Blue, sad and glad, judgement clad:
The card you drew predicted true
I thought you knew that love was blue
When you made blue I think you knew
What I’d do to be with you
Deja vu came back to you
I think of blue and I see you
I thought you knew what to do
But you’re so sad and blue
Heart’s been hurt, black and blue
Little boy blue, you’re not through
Out of the blue she’ll come to you
She drew the sky blue to mirror you
Glad and sad are two sides of you
Let them spin and come within
Your bird’s eye view and heart’s review
Even the blues are good news
Listen to what the bluebirds say
On their sad and mournful day
Oh, baby blue, sail down
That blue river of dreams
Follow your blue eyed streams
I loved you then and I love you now
We’ll make it through the blues somehow
Lady Blue, it’s you I knew
When the bell rang true
And the flowers grew
And the world was new
Once in a blue moon
At summer’s high noon
I get a chance like this
To give you a blue’s born kiss
The card you drew
Came up true
Told you again what you knew
Dennis Leary
Thanks for your romantic and beautiful poem.
The Blue
The blue of the sky
And that of the ocean
Is there, in your eyes
There’s your emotion
Mirror is your eye
Mirroring the sky
Mirroring your soul
With a lovely call
Blue dreams in my mind
As writings on the sand
As shadows in the night
But morning wins the Light
China will wait patiently for the American economy to collapse, and then China will issue a gold-backed yuan. The yuan will become the world reserve currency, with the US dollar being relegated to Zimbabwe status. If (or when) this happens, how will the Anglo-American elites prevent the loss of their ability to create money out of nothing? The Anglo-American elites want to avoid having to repay the debt owed to China and to avoid a 50% currency devaluation of the dollar. They desperately need war as a distraction.
I am interested to hear about the Ukrainian/Russian conflict over gas. I am confused about the
following: the Ukraine receives shipments of gas that is stored in big underground tanks. This gas
is stored for use by European countries for heat. Currently, the Ukraine does not want to purchase gas from Gazprom, the Russian gas company, even though they have a contract to purchase so many million cubit ft. Reportedly the Ukraine is buying Russian gas from Belarus or someplace. So, Gazprom is suing the Ukraine for not importing enough gas, while at the same time saying that the Ukrainians siphon off the gas they do receive but do not pay for it.
Some Ukrainian official is saying the “Europe does not need Russian gas; they can do without it”.
My confusion stems from the question – who is paying for the gas that is to be stored in the Ukrainian underground tanks for the Europeans? Are not the Europeans paying? If so, whom do they pay? If the Europeans do not pay, are the Ukrainians supposed to pay for the gas that goes to Europe? If so, why? and…what happens to that money? The Ukraine also receives money (from someplace)
for being a transit country for the European gas.
At the same time Russia is working on building a pipeline from a city in Russia to go under the Black
Sea directly to Germany, avoiding the Ukraine. This pipeline will follow the route of some other pipeline that is already there. It may be called NorthStream II.
Since it is October it would seem to me that the Europeans would be a little freaked out by the fact that the Ukraine has only like 14 billion cub ft of gas in the tanks when they need 39 billion (these figures may not be accurate) to keep Europe warm, to say nothing about the Ukrainian need for heat!
But I do not read about it on even halfway mainstream media. (That is as far as I go toward MSM)
I hope I am using this site appropriately.
It is my understanding that gas storage in Ukraine is for Ukraine only, not storage for Europe.
Ukraine receives transit fees for gas pumped through Ukraine to Europe in the old soviet pipeline system.
Because of the current Ukraine mentality they have been buying gas from countries that have received Russian gas transited through Ukraine, and is reverse pumped back to Ukraine rather than buying directly from Russia. Ukraine seems to have a history of syphoning off gas that is transiting to other countries. Russia then has to pump more gas to fill the customers order that has not received the full amount of gas.
That is my understanding of it.
Quite robust and entertaining discussions on this topic. I must say that I’m surprised to hear that India’s small neighbours, such as Pakistan, Bangladesh, Burma – are ‘deadly fearful’ of India because India is ‘an ancient culture that lacks any thread of wisdom and self awareness’.
Because that is exactly as how I see China. China is an ancient culture that lacks any thread of wisdom. Instead of reserving its (China’s) aggression for use against Japan and Taiwan, China instead has invaded one small neighbour, Tibet, and seems ill-bent towards its other small neighbours such as Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines – all because it wants to own the whole of the South China sea. All that ancient culture and China never learnt to share. China is so aggressive right now but their history is one of getting their butts kicked, first by the Mongols and then by the Japanese. If it weren’t for the Russians and Americans China could still have been a Japanese colony till today.
Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, etc, had better start investing in nuclear weapons if they don’t want to be taken over like Tibet.
Anyway, going back to India. All that aggression by the Hindus, yet historically they always got their butts kicked by the Muslims. Were it not for the British colonization, India would still be ruled by the Muslims with their capital in Delhi. The Muslims were always in the minority, but they always won the battles against the majority Hindus. Just imagine Gandhi trying his passive resistance stunt against the Muslims, it would not have worked out so well for him. So the Hindus getting all aggressive against small Muslim Pakistan or anything Muslim is not rational, its historic.
I believe that in the past China and India both faced similar problems due to their enormous populations. India responded via vegetarianism and the caste system, where some could be left to starve to death on the pavement outside the rich man’s house because that was their lot in life. China responded by literally eating everything, so yes, Jews cannot fare well in China, the Chinese make chop suey out of anything. In India I always thought the Jews only survived along the west coast of India, Goa, where the Portuguese colonized first.
These big, ancient cultures in East seem to have forgotten their history and just seem to want to act aggressive all the time as if that will make them forget. I sometimes think they behave in a childish fashion. And yes, any comments from Indian or Chinese personages usually comes across as overly aggressive, with the ‘lack of respect towards other’s views, use language that fits megalomaniacs’,etc.
There is nothing to debate about. Just disbelief and amusement.

Dear gT,
Re the following:

The Muslims were always in the minority, but they always won the battles against the majority Hindus.
Not true, the above is the narrative that the British would Like you to believe.Mahmoud of Ghazni was defeated over 7 times by Hindu King Prithvi Raj Chauhan, each time Chauhan. foolishly and egotistically let Mahmoud go (who would return with ever larger armies). Unlike what you’ve been taught the Moghuls only controlled 1/3 of the country, the Hindu Vijanagar empire and the Hindu Marathas controlled 2/3rds of the country. The moghuls empire was decimated and bankrupt by the time of a aurangzebs sons accession due to constant attacks by Hindu forces, by end it was the Moguls that became a shell of former self and became a vassal of Maratha peshwas. Had the opportunistic Brits not entered at just the right time, Muslim imperial power in India was finished. Go lookup Shivaji, Borphuken, Maharana Pratap, Ranjit Singh to understand how wrong your assumption is. There’s a reason why India is still majority Hindu: it’s called unrelenting resistance.
Could someone turn the light on in the café, it looks a bit dark in there… there’s enough doom and gloom in the world, and besides, I’d like a drink with friends in the light, I mean, you might even get accosted in there … thanks baby, it’s cold outside – https://youtu.be/crFQpOCDfEc
Thanks for the music Articus, a lot of beauties there with Dean Martin. I have to skip for a while :
I will have to take a break
But don’t worry, I’ll be back
Maybe sooner, maybe later
Ask the barman or the waiter
And don’t ask why and when,
When I can, I’ll see you again
Till then, let’s put sugar in Coffee
and Lemon, or Cream into the Tee :

Sun and Jupiter are mirroring our Neptune at 27- 29° Virgo
as astrologer I know it, write it, and forget ist, because one cannot live
according to heavenly “plan”. But when something strange happens one remembers imediately …
grace is sailing entire day
old friends place invite delay
old friends wife insted of crime
droped the book at old friends chime
eavesdropped to friends recount
suddenly a kind amount
of helping hand and foot appeared
not awaited silent’ cheered
yesterday my life was safed
fom a truck which would have paved
the street with my old precious trunk
had not love mirrored this punk
and here are Sun and Jupiter mirroring the late Virgo-grades:

RT is running a “ironic” story from Britain. It seems for a new movie, the movie makers have decorated Blenheim Palace with nazi flags. And portray it as a nazi headquarters. People are upset,and shocked. Saying its a disgrace,as Churchill was born there,and its associated with him.They say he’d be “turning in his grave”, and how upseting it is for people that lived through WWII,that are still alive . I’m “shocked too”,shocked at the hypocrisy of those people. They think nothing of supporting a Ukraine covered with nazi insignia. Honoring nazi “heroes” from the war. Disgracing and horrifying the Ukrainians that are still alive from those days.And the millions of Russians, who they or their ancestors suffered because of the nazis. To the British that’s not important at all. But when someone making a movie,a “fake” movie,decorates a building in Britain with nazi flags.That is just “too much” for their weak souls to stomach.Its enough to make me sick too,at them:

“…It would be like plastering swastikas across Buckingham Palace, there’s not really any difference.” cry the indignant British. No difference really at all, for the swastika may be felt plastered like a pall over London, which only the light of individual thinking consciousness pierce’s, or the battle field is within each of us.

Saturday morning. This café looks a bit back alley, not the type of place I typically seek out, but I really like the patrons here. Like Dennis, and others, I arrive feeling like an exile from a world going wrong, so terribly, grievously wrong. My spirit trembles with trepidation. The Golden Autumn Sun lingers warm still, but the Equinox is past and the moon will ride high all winter long, and long are the shadows growing across the hemisphere.
Thank-you Uncle Bob, and Peter AU. You, (and some others here) are such good mentors and help me think clearly. And gentle applause for the poets! JJ- I too find the long arm of some uneasy spirit slinking into our workplace imposing changes that do not make sense to the heart. And Yes- time to support the proprietors of this place.
I’m usually just quietly reading in the cafe. Today I’ve brought along my copy of Mark Twain’s Joan of Arc of which I’ve read the first half. MT researched the background of this story for 12 years and claims it as his best work. It is a story about facing evil. Joan possessed extraordinary soul virtues of every kind. She was very much beloved for her beauty, courage, and wisdom. She was also a brilliant thinker and declared her understanding of divine moral order with passion. She could not ignore any kind of evil or wrong doing. Already as an uneducated peasant child she could out debate her superiors- even the local church authorities. At about age 16, she was guided in spiritual vision to engage directly with the British foe through visitations from Archangel Michael. She encountered immensely oppressive forces. She was mocked. Armed with a supra sense of Truth, she stood staunchly against the LIE, and stared into the face of the most vile evil. I am nearly to the famous trial part of the story.
According to how we have been taught to think in school. Joan of Arc has little relevance to anything modern or intellectual, but there is more to our human story. Joan was, and is, a sign post, a break through, a pointing hand. Earth is in upheaval and if we have courage for the truth, we will find wisdom-filled guidance. The gods are with us if we are with them.
I am so grateful for the courage and truth I find here in this strange cafe.

I found your comment and links sensitive and perceptive. The woman in the video asks the pertinent question: where does this fear come from? Her self-child shows the fear. I pursue this question also since the child that I also am feels it.
I have a recurring fantasy. It’s about a man who runs this world, or thinks he does. I call him Count Khazar. He lives somewhere near Transylvania in a bunker system filled with war rooms, computers, boardrooms and living quarters for himself, his family, staff and workers.
He is an evil genius who delights in power. He is cultured, highly intelligent, cruel and fearless with a twisted sense of humor. His lineage includes kings, queens, kaisers, czars, caesars, popes, generals and assorted shakers and movers. Some of their pictures and paintings hang in the offices.
Khazars arose in the middle ages between Rome and Russia and attracted ambitious and bright men from many places. Many came from the old Roman Empire with the experience of traders and people and money managers. They were not Jews but adopted that religion for deceptive, manipulative and political purposes.
Count Khazar is the present embodiment of that tradition of power. He seems like an improbable fantasy which he uses to hide behind. He has many layers of illusion built up around him, knowing that people are best controlled by their fear of the unknown. One of his many jokes is his connection to the Castle of Count Dracula, a myth that his predecessors created. The sick irony is that they do suck the blood of victims.
My fantasy is that by the power of the Love Army I can penetrate his defenses and visit him personally. I have different guises which I leave to your imagination. I visited him yesterday as a recommended consultant on unknown dangerous incipient developments. The interview was in his library and went like this:
Good evening.
Sit down. Would you like a drink?
Water, no ice, please.
So, I’m told you have information.
Yes, information.
Information that may pose a threat.
Yes.
Information that we do not already have?
Yes.
That’s unlikely. What do you want for it?
Nothing.
Nothing?
I just wanted to meet you.
So you’ve met me.
Yes, I have.
So what’s your information?
You’re facing a long range threat of extinction.
Say that one more time and you’ll be extinct.
You’re facing a long range threat of extinction.
You’ve got guts.
I can close you down.
You and what army?
The Love Army.
The love army.
Yes, the Love Army.
Never heard of it.
So your information is not that complete.
Apparently not.
I’ll make you deal you can’t refuse.
Really?
Close down your operation and join the Love Army.
I’ll make you a deal: leave or cease to live.
[I left. The Count called a lieutenant.]
Ever hear of a love army?
Yes, some weirdo on a pro-Russian war blog.
Why didn’t you tell me?
It’s no threat.
Good. Don’t say anything about this. I don’t want my bosses [nods to the wall pictures] thinking I’m wasting my time on weirdos.
————————–
This fantasy visited me yesterday as I was on my daily walk to and from town. As I walked, I was joined by the Love Army, all 100,000 men and womem, invisible but palpable. But that’s another story which I’ll relate a little later. The veil between fantasy and reality grows thinner and more diaphanous. Some of your names are real and some fantasies. The saker’s name is a fantasy. I no longer dismiss fantasy as unreality since our so-called real world ends in a graveyard, a grave situation to be sure.
Dennis thank-you. I meant to post my reply to you here but it is further down in the line-up.

ah, Lugansk, always the problem child/weak link but who knows about the truth? The whole “shot while trying to escape” or “hung himself in his cell” meme/line always sets off red lights in my very skeptical self. Sounds like lesser crooks fighting supremo crooks but what do I know? or purge time in Plotnitsky-ville.
http://www.fort-russ.com/2016/09/lugansk-coup-arrest-wave-locks-up.html
WOW- I know that guy and that place as well. You have revealed one of his many names. Another being Klingsor.
Naming is vastly necessary. When the True Queen named Rumplestilkin, she saved her self-child from the fear. Having been unveiled, the Stilzkin was undone and could no longer be effective. In anger he stomped his foot so hard that he fell out of the bottom of the world. In the Apocalypse, it is Archangel Michael that seals the bottomless pit for a time…..
Many are the loud and mocking voices that disdain religion and imaginative fantasy as pathetic weakness and paltry excuses to escape from the real world. This is a brilliant victory for the Count, who is counting all the star-souls he has mesmerized with his Master Illusion. Among other things the Count is a dark wizard cleverly disguised as he waves his electronic wand hypnotically and digitally chanting, “I am Prince of this World, and there is only my world, you little bit of incidental matter in an accidental haphazard cog-wheeled world”. The magician maintains a master control board of compelling statistics and an army of indisputable scientists to reduce and contract the world to meaningless mechanical explanations. All memory of the true invisible conductor and the simplicity of recognizing robins deemed irrelevant.
In the Joan of Arc story, the village of Domrey has a beech tree where the shepherd children gather to sing and play. The children of the village are called The Children of the Tree. From time immemorial all who grew up in this village mystically experienced that the tree lived inside of them as well as outside of them. When the Tree appeared in vision clothed in Golden Light the soul knew they were aligned with heaven. But when in error, the Tree would reproach the soul by appearing barren as in winter. A look of pale dread would become visible on their countenance. The villagers knew when someone had acted wrongly by this characteristic expression. “The Tree has seen his deed”, they would whisper.
Such flights of imagination are visitations of grace- we are riding the great white wings of angels who have dipped down into us to whisper soothing things such as ….. The Love Army is on its way… millions will join…
It was a little Dorothy, the meek and mild, who pulled back the curtain and saw the illusion of the Great Wizard and exposed to all his castle of false marvels.
The stories remember truth for us. And in the greatest story ever told, Christ did descend to the very depths of hell – into that very underground bunker. Turns out it is not new information, or intellectual debate, the Count dreads. It is the gaze of compassion that breaks the spell, and repels him. Can you see that?
How can we feel anything but compassion for one that would chose death over Love…
Godspeed all my café friends.

Sometimes I wonder where the Love Army came from. It seems to have dropped right out of the blue. “It comes to us out of the blue and in the day to day, nitty-gritty of karmic recycling chronic pain patterns.” I wrote that years ago in reference to the Tarot card, Judgement, which has a blue sky background; and occurs in the fortieth week of the Love year, in the suit of light.
On my walk yesterday with the Love Army this story came to me:
I was sitting in this cafe, in the corner we affectionately call the cozy corner, with my back to the wall. A young womam with a French baret entered through the side door near the bar. She scanned the cafe with her eyes and walked to my table and sat down without a word. She wore a white blouse with a black notebook in one pocket.
I thought perhaps she was one of Putin’s spies who mistook me for her contact. She seemed to be waiting for me to say something. To break the ice, I asked her if I could buy her a glass of pomegranate juice like mine. She said yes, on the rocks. I replied that this cafe didn’t have rocks. Nice, she said.
Then, probably thinking I was a bumpkin, said: you called.
I called?
You called.
Now I knew she was confusing me with someone else.
You called from this cafe, asking for help.
I did?
You sent a message in your mind.
Now I just knew she was Putin’s spy, who could read minds.
She had a Mona Lisa smile and Angelina eyes so I really did not mind. Typical spy.
She said: relax. I’m not a spy.
Whoa.
My name is Francoise. I’m your liaison with the Love Army. You can all me Fran.
Fran as in France?
She put on that rogue smile and said: no, as in pan.
I’m Dennis, one of your patron saints.
You’re no saint.
You look like one.
We’re not here to flirt.
Fair enough but why didn’t you come earlier?
No one asked.
Oh.
Listen carefully to the conversation here. Listen to the Love Army. Listen and say what you will
I will.
If need be, I’ll be in touch.
With that she got up and disappeared the way she appeared.
——————–
Did it happen like that? No. Did it not happen like that? No. All I know is that the Love Army has become part of my life, like the Love Government before. I haven’t seen her since but I can still hear her other-worldly accent.
Dennis,
boy you made it! And if I’m reading right “it” is coming three timethis time in different shapes
your story is a dead-funny manna
OK..Facilitator-in-chief of the Love Army…I will send you a report from the front lines tomorrow as I watch “the debates” with my neighbors of vastly different political persuasions. We all want the best for our world, our country, and ourselves so we plan to sit together and experience American political culture debased as it is since the times of the Lincoln-Douglas debates. May our Hearts be open and may our minds be impervious to the Great Lie.
I wait with debated breath. I just saw on Yahoo that Trump told Netanyahoo he would support making Jerusalem the capitol of Israel. I kinda liked Trump up till that statement.
You are very brave or have an iron gut. I couldn’t watch the debate circus with a bunch of neighbors and live to tell the story.
If something strange happens at the debacle, chalk it up to the Love Army. Love is a trickster and when in army mode a hurricane twister. I’ll see if love will allow me to get on the stage and wave to your neighbors from Trumps toupee or Hillary’s hips. Don’t want to freak anyone out worse than this freak show; but the show of love must go on.
Another ‘transgender’ story.
This time a ‘world first’ where a ‘transgender’ couple become biological parents.
Closer reading reveals it is nothing if the kind since the so-called ‘male’ is a biological female complete with womb/uterus and the ‘female’ is a male ‘transsexual’ who has all his ‘tackle’, including the ability to produce sperm.

I have to wonder why RT keeps promoting this Big Lie: it is a total inversion of the truth.
Why does it engage in this Orwellian abuse of language?
What has RT got against mothers and real women?
The world is full of books, billions of them probably and something for everyone, but only a few endure, being universally recognised for their inestimable value. Yesterday I discovered a dusty old copy of a book by the English poet Walter De La Mare, in which he recounts the stories of the Bible, and read the first words of his introduction:
“The Bible, it is said, is not being read nowadays so much as it used to be: while there was a time when, it is recorded, a load of hay would be paid gladly for the loan of a manuscript Testament for an hour. Wholly apart from the profound truth that “simple men of wit may be edified much to heavenly living by reading and knowing of the Old Testament”, this statement, if true, implies a loss beyond measure to mind and heart, and particularly to the young – its wisdom and divination, truth and candour, simplicity and directness. All that the human being is or feels or (in what concerns us closely) thinks; all that he loves or fears or delights in, grieves for, desires and aspires to is to be found in it, either expressed or implied. As for beauty, though this was not its aim, and the word is not often used in it—it is “excellent in beauty”; and poetry dwells in it as light dwells upon a mountain and on the moss in the crevices of its rocks. In what other book—by mere mention of them—are even natural objects made in the imagination so whole and fair; its stars, its well-springs, its war-horse, its almond tree.”
From the Introduction, Stories from the Bible, 1925
Did the world know then, that in less than a hundred years time, this book, let alone poetry, would scarcely be known or read, and how many young people today are able to read a word, and gain that inner sense of something “whole and fair”, fairness meaning something of wonder, of beauty, or truth?
Words change and develop and “in their influence are subtle and delicate beyond all things known to man”. In the Bible stories from the Book of Ruth, we read how Naomi, against her will, bids Ruth to return to her own people, and to go no further into a strange land, and how Ruth replies:
‘Entreat me not to leave thee, or to return from following after thee, for whither thou goest I will go: and where thou lodhgest I will lodge: thy people shall be my people and thy God my God: where thou diest, will I die…’
Love and faithfulness endure forever, and the waves and sands have long since changed and reshaped the windswept island of Lindisfarne off the north of England, where, in the seventh century the bible manuscripts were set down by a monk with extraordinary and ornate beauty.
You can see these precious works of art still today, at the British Museum in London, although only for 6 months of the year, because they must rest to protect the binding.
So tell your children about the stars, the world’s well-springs, ‘its war-horse, its almond tree’ . . .

I awoke this morn with the Love Army on my mind, specifically the first division with its orders: think love, or reversed: do not think evil.
As I walked through my usual routines, I tried to keep following orders and think love. Thinking love is hard work with my evil thoughts buzzing around my head like flies. I’d keep waving them away and think butterfly love.
It’s 102 F; love is turning up the heat. Well, if I can’t take the heat, I should not go near the fire. Eventually my love thoughts lead to home. It’s quite a delightful place. It’s in my imagination but flutters out a bit to my place here.
I thought about evil in terms of love. Evil has two parts: ev and il, or eve and ill. In my mirror mind, evil makes Eve ill. Eve is the first lover so that makes me ill.
Back to home. Eve is my lover-type. Natural womam (no woman). Lives in a food forest (no garden). In a community of 7 womem, 7 men, 7 teens, 7 children, 7 babies, 5 grandma’s and 5 grandpa’s. I made that up out of 45, splitting the difference between 30 and 60. There’s lots of other communities to visit, their numbers ranging from 30 to 60.
What made Eve ill? God apparently didn’t like the natural life since it cut him out, being supernatural. He punished her for doing what she always did: eat fruit. What really made him mad was her having communal sex. God is male but he seems to lack genitals. What did I expect?
Is God evil? It’s logical but not politically correct.
The names need to be changed and the story straightened out. The Love Government, and hence the Love Army version is that God becomes Love and Lord becomes Lover. The Lover and Love cure Eve by allowing her to do what is natural.
That’s the short story of the beginning of the end of evil. A simple twist of language. Like the Love Army says: think love, not evil.
We’re not there yet but we’re getting there. Little tiny changes make for big mountain ranges.
Nice allegory suggested by Dennis.
“Are we there yet?” ask 7 billion children of their Father and Mother creator(s).
“You were always there, you just didn’t realize it.”, the parents reply, in unison,
“Bullshit!”, thinks the older brother pimply teenager, who any girl would be insane to let into her pants. “I can’t even have sex yet. This trip (Life itself…..) sucks!”
Self loathing and self “love” (in lieu of the willing young lady of his fantasies) will have to balance each other for another 2,3,4,5+ or more years……already “there” but in a state of neurosis and frustration.
As in the small, so in the large.
The teenage boy (or girl) symbolizing humanity in the aggregate.
And in bad need of a kindly priest. But not a sexually repressed and spiritually self and God-loathing one.
And that’s an allegory meant for Catholic ones, not ex-Catholic ones who escaped the Vatican matrix.
Ah, Martin, it’s a long, long trip. But you have travelled half the journey, unlike some who barely ever started, yet who nevertheless are old. Keep going, for what we see tomorrow may help us understand what flew by us yesterday.
Or rather, we flew by it, without brakes or steering capacity to do anything else, at that moment.
Here is a poem by Hafiz called “Some Fill With Each Good Rain”
there are different wells within your heart
some fill with each good rain
Others are far too deep for that
In one well you have just a few precious cups of water
That “love” is literally something of yourself
It can grow as slow as a diamond if it is lost.
Your love should never be offered to the mouth of a Stranger
Only to someone who has the valor and daring to cut pieces of their soul off with a knife.
then weave them into a blanket to protect you.
there are different wells within us.
Some fill with each good rain.
Others, far, far too deep for that.
We had a chess club at Corpus Christi infants and primary school in Oldham, Lancashire, England – and we also used to play Draughts…ok a bit later I used to play Go…and Backgammon..and I was never that good at chess..until my 13 years older sister’s boyfriend (I had two older brothers too)…He used to take me playing football with him and long walks in the countryside..with my elder sister..but I had learnt to play chess when I was 10 years old – and he was like – the champion of his local chess club in Manchester…
But I was playing in Oldham,
He looks at me..and thinks how did you do that..and I know he wasn’t cheating…letting (me) the little boy win. I beat him fair and square – Manchester’s Chess Champion when I was about 13 years old…
Hardly played it since..but 50 years later – I wrote this…
I think I have been a reasonably good boy this summer – which has been Brilliant…
I haven’t fallen out with anyone – not even my wife…##
I might have on occasion been incredibly loud…
But that was just me cheering for an Encore..

An incident involving a group of protesters shouting ‘f**k the police!’ – including Kurds supporting the PKK – has resulted in ‘disciplinary’ action against a British policeman who shouted ‘don’t tell me what to do in my country!’
http://ekurd.net/british-police-kurdish-protester-2016-09-26
I see a folk hero in the making, and more loss of sympathy for the Kurdish project.
He was only telling the truth.
Policemen aren’t folk heroes, although they are may become official propaganda heroes.
And the Kurds don’t depend on UK public sympathy, they fate seems to be determined by which nation state can take advantage of the Kurds at any given moment.
But yes, it is political correctness which has gone too far in the case of this cop. Most cops know better than to open their mouths and say anything more than necessary.
I guess I was thinking of how the British – particularly the Brexiters – would react, not mankind in general.
I suspect he speaks for many.
Kurds – many and varied – don’t depend on the British public for support – true.
But media ‘goodwill’ ( like the staged drowning of Alan Kurdi) is a big part of popular support for Kurdish nationalism, especially in the US. They are the ‘good rebels’ and many there support their aspirations – precisely because of their good press ( which details nothing of the fractious and varied truth, corruption and competing agendas.)
So we will have to agree to disagree on this one.
Some confusing new radar data concerning MH17
“Russian MoD Presents Radar Data From MH17 Crash Site”
Sputnik
“Russian radar has not detected third-party objects except for two civilian aircraft around MH17 crash site that could have caused its destruction, deputy chief designer of the Ust-Donetsk Utes-T air route radar surveillance complex of the Research and Production Corporation ‘Lianozovo Electromechanical Plant,’ a part of Almaz-Antey concern, said Monday”
Strange…Does this mean the SU-25 theory presented on 21-juli-2014 is officilay dead and why is this radar data so different than the one shown on the same day?

Yesterday it got up to 106 F in my personal moveable cafe called a motorhome. Now, a half hour before sunrise it’s about 80 F. Probably another scorcher so better get my work and walk in early.
I’m thinking about that long and lonely road to victory with the Love Army. Its ten divisions march in synch. The army doesn’t work if they all don’t coordinate. The first division’s orders are to think love, not evil. The other nine divisions spell out what love and evil are.
My own thinking has changed radically, especially in the last few years. I attribute this to love since I’ve been working with the Love Government for some twenty-five years which has been adapted to the Love Army on this site.
I was raised Roman Catholic and became a priest and monk. Love removed me from that about when I was thirty. I had about ten years of worldly experience: crazy, stupid, dangerous, immature and dysfunctional but love got me through. I then joined a new age religion with a guru who combined Christianity with the new Eastern and new age thinking coming in. I was again initiated and ordained a priest. Love removed me from that after some twenty years by showing me the corruption.
I developed my own religion of love, philosophy, psychology, politics, history, aesthetics and what not with the Love Government. All along the line I’ve had some crazy times with marriage, parenting, working for the two biggest corporations in the world, various therapies and lifestyles and situations that should have sunk my boat if it were not for love.
The second division of the Love Army has the orders to eat a love diet and not to eat an evil-inducing diet, according to the rule: we are what we eat. When I look at my own history in regard to diet, I understand why I was so dull, confused, crazy, fearful and just plain stupid. In my early and mid-years I ate the all American diet of meat, sugar and grain, with some veggies and fruit, and was fifty pounds heavier than I am now.
No wonder I was cow-like obedient and dull; piggy in my habits and an all-around chicken in my morals; not to mention more than a little fishy; all covered over with a sugary and grainy veneer. I was what I ate and thought. Gradually over the years love got me out of that slop and brought me current with an Eden Vegan diet, and that is continually being fine-tuned.
An Eden Vegan diet is more or less what we ate in the love culture of our origins. I eat oranges, apples, strawberries, watermelon, bananas, raspberries, grapes, raisins, sprouted pumpkin seeds and canned oysters and clams. The latter are meat but they do not have eyes or red blood like we do so are far enough removed from causing cross-contamination of the blood or consciousness.
This is a love diet which contrasts with an evil diet. There are many degrees and differing circumstances so it’s not a black and white choice. But it should be obvious that slaughtering cows, pigs and chickens with all that suffering cannot be love, and so must be evil. Not only that but it sets up a slippery slope to killing of our own kind. Stealing animal products for milk and eggs is also evil but not so gross.
Such killing of animals like us is a kind of cannibalism light: karmic and energetic connections cause us to eat ourselves up with diseases like war and self-destruction. We have been conditioned and brain-washed over thousands of years since the invention of hunting and domestication with the result that our main brains are on a par with cows and our morals much less.
To maintain our evil habits, certain parts of our brains have been hypertrophied into technology and intellectualism which provides cover for our reversion to the worst of animality. The evil of animal slaughter goes on apace and feeds the empire with blood lust power. We fall into its trap of trickery: we supply it with killing energy while we oppose it with intellectualism.
The consuming of grains by people was forced by empires because grains make obedient, dull workers, slaves, warriors and part-brained intellectuals. Also, vast amounts of grain and water are needed to feed the cattle, pigs and chickens, who also in many cases feed other animals.
The Love Army resists this feeding frenzy of evil diets that cause murder and mayhem. The fruit of trees and seeds is our natural food and causes no harm, along with lower animals that do not have blood or eyes like us, when that is necessary. It’s going to take time to change. Most people would rather die than change what they eat. It’s taken me a long lifetime to get back to what I lost, and then it’s but an approximation.
Anything in the direction of love helps the cause of victory over empire and its ire of evil. Even a thought along that road assists. The first division of love thought thus cooperates with the second division of love food. An army marches on its stomach as the saying goes. Thinking and eating influence each other more than we know.
I’ve got to go before the heat gets too hot to handle. The Love Army is on fire but knows how to modulate the heat just so for each one of us.
It is getting more insanely confusing in the air war for the midEast: so US proxy types use US proxy missiles against the UK a US proxy ally.

Uncle Bob recently referred to an article about the “New World Order” here:
/moveable-feast-cafe-2016-09-09/comment-page-1/#comment-273886
In connection with that he said “That might explain a lot of what is happening today in our World,its frightening”
In answer to my question:
“But of much greater significance – why do you imagine they (the Chinese) allow low cost manufacturing in order to support the NWO agenda you recently referred to?”
Uncle Bob replied here /moveable-feast-cafe-2016-09-12/comment-page-1/#comment-274494, with:
“To build up their economy I suspect.”
Against which I commented and further inquired:
“it appears the “Chinese” understand the NWO agenda and are enabling it’s implementation (as per the article you posted). Why would you then conceive they are a force against the NWO rather than a constituent?”
To continue this debate I link here to the transcript of a video which Penelope referred to in a recent Cafe https://www.corbettreport.com/episode-297-china-and-the-new-world-order/ (Penelope’s comment can be found here
/syrian-ceasefire-failed-what-now/comment-page-1/#comment-277089)
from which I quote (very sparingly):
…But if you are only looking at the headlines, then you might have missed a very different set of data, indicating a very different and perhaps
directly contradictory narrative, one that paints China and its supposed foes in the West, not as allies pitted against each other but as partners,
however uneasily, but in some sort of alliance that will set the tone for the 21st century.
…[]…But let’s turn to again this Fortune 500 ‘Important engine driving Beijing’s CBD economic development” on the Beijing government website which
notes that there has been an exceptional increase in Fortune 500 investment in China over the past decades and then in the 1990s we have the Fortune 500 enterprises setting up investment companies in Beijing, and it goes through the history of that and then after 2000 they set up regional headquarters in Beijing.
So you’re getting the idea, we have the gradual build-up of the financial, the economic, the productive, even the investment capacity of foreign Fortune 500, which we should read as ‘The Corporate Member’s Roster of the Council On Foreign Relations’ for example, that’s all interlocking. It’s growing steadily throughout the 1970s, the ‘opening up’ in the 1980s and 1990s and then the 2000-to-present region.
So we, of course, are looking at China generally from 2000 on, with its remarkable 10-15 percent GDP growth rate, just it’s blistering pace of economic growth over the past decade, and as if that sprang out of nowhere and was not the concerted and and deliberate product of a very regimented agenda that has been at work for decades now and that has been rigorously planned out from behind the scenes by the crony capitalists and ‘The ‘Immortals’ in China and their progeny.
So again, there’s an interesting little graph that shows some of the examples, for example just charting the progress of various Fortune 500 enterprises, at the beginning of the opening up in the 1970s:
“HP and Matsushita set up offices in 1979 in the neighborhood of the Beijing embassy;
HP China Ltd was established in Beijing in 1985 and Beijing Matsushita Color CRT Company Ltd was established in ’87;
HP China Investment Company was established in 1995 and Matsushita China Ltd. in 1994;
HP bought HP Building in Beijing CBD in 1998 and moved several branches to the building;
In 2002 Matsushita Ltd was transferred to a regional headquarters.”
So, again we get the sense there is this buildup and there’s just a couple of examples of some of the companies that are involved in this, but there are many, many, many more, as detailed in an article that I wrote earlier this year and it’s available on corbettreport.com, of course again a link in the show notes, to an article I wrote called ‘The Great Decoupling: How the West is Engineering its Own Downfall‘. (Time Reference 49:56)
https://www.corbettreport.com/the-great-decoupling-how-the-west-is-engineering-its-own-downfall/“
The critical point in the excerpt is the reference to the ‘The ‘Immortals’ in China and their progeny, who still control many facets of the Chinese economy. They were
Deng Xiaoping;
General Wang, who fed Mao’s troops;
Chen Yun, who took charge of the economy when Mao assumed power in 1949;
Li Xiannian, who was instrumental in the plot that ended the Cultural Revolution;
Peng Zhen, who helped rebuild China’s legal system in the 1980s;
Song Renqiong, the Party personnel chief who oversaw the rehabilitation of purged cadres after the Cultural Revolution;
President Yang, who backed Deng’s order to carry out the 1989 Tiananmen Square crackdown and
Bo Yibo, a former vice premier and the last of the Immortals to die, at 98, in 2007.
In other words, the “frightening” things that Uncle Bob referred to are not only a result of “US” Neocons but are, in fact the result of a truly Global plan – it is indeed a Global class war and Penelope called it correctly when she stated:
“We can’t depend on anyone else to retrieve our lost liberties, or to stop the aggression abroad.”
Corbett is a mixed bag, and as is usually the case 99.99% of the time, the problem is ego.
Anonymouse should watch Corbett’s 911 primer https://youtu.be/hgrunnLcG9Q and do something useful in that regard, such as comprehending his left brain paralysis which leaves him in the thrall of the NWO occultocracy designers of that event, being laughed at by them.
Can Corbett (or once-banned Anonymouse, now in semi-hiding, and plotting to organize Vineyard leftists to join his psycho-sexually impotent “class-warfare” scenario by protesting enviously that some Chinese and Russians got rich…..Sheisse! Universal Equality foiled again!!!) imagine that many nations and peoples are conducting a grand “Dance of a Thousand Veils” in which many things are being pretended simultaneously??
I’m sure Corbett can. He is an intelligent man. But after his masterfully short 911 primer which Anonymouse seems to have no interest in following up on, and some other good work, Corbett too often resorts to impotent suggestions that we support no state in anything (because even Russia and China show evidence of NWO games and dances being danced, with many a veil concealing eyes and faces and ultimate intentions in a very complex choreography….) grow our own vegetables on small plots of land or in our back yards, and wink that knowing Libertarian wink, signaling that individuals can only trust themselves, and will never succeed in doing anything of any use in larger groups than maybe a handful of neighbors. Which, of course, ideally fits in to the NWO strategy of breaking the world up into weak, easily controlled micro-entities or as Zbigniew Brezinski put it, “Small, weak states are easier for us to control.”
Could it possibly be that anyone in either Russia and China is dancing with the NWO to learn its moves, buy time and maneuvering room, etc,etc but is not enslaved to it? Well, yes, Corbett is intelligent enough to grasp that concept, but it is easier to sell people on writing off all hope of large scale political action in favor of the individualism of ego, than it is to prod them into the idea of taking on a greater responsibility, and risking more of their hopes and energies on something infinitely more ambitious and large scale, and potentially winning, in a meaningful way, but oh, so difficult . So let’s not even try.
That’s what Anonymouse eagerly and impotently signs on to here, in every single post,as conscious (or more likely, unconscious) agent of the NWO and stated, avowed enemy of a multi-polar world.
At least Corbett, being more intelligent, but nevertheless, clearly too influenced by his own ego and Alternative Media “one man shop mentality” does some more useful things occasionally.
Anonymouse avoids emulating Corbett in that respect, unconsciously enslaved, as he is, to the NWO agenda indicated in his constant anti-Russia and Anti-China biases, which are always evident if you step back and see the entire tapestry of all of his comments, taken together.
Class warfare??? How about the class of those human beings that are conscious of the complexities and subtleties of reality Versus those that are unconscious of the fact that their simplistic minds are NWO-programmed for impotence by dumb formulas that dominate all of their left brain synapses, and shut down the right hemisphere of their brain entirely???
Consciousness is where the rubber meets the road and you can get some traction forward. Not Anonymouse’s dead ideological formulas and impotent wailing about the same old Apple factory , for the rest of his life. Ummm???
