Saker Webmaster
Having suffered a humiliating defeat in Allepo, the US, NATO, the GCC and Israel are now desperately trying to stage a face-saving comeback in Palmyra.
I deliberately listed out those countries and organisations instead of ISIS, because we all know that there would be no ISIS without their support and assistance.
The US was defeated in Aleppo, not ISIS, and we need to bear this in mind.
Damascus, Moscow and Tehran must do all that is necessary to deny these criminals any bragging rights in Palmyra.
Obama just signed off on more overt aasistance to the terrorists on the ground, so Moscow must plan for all eventualities and conclude the victory in Allepo while still hanging on to Palmyra.
Great call MaH,
Just heard Peter Lavelle on Crosstalk saying the MSM is not talking about Aleppo at all (for a change), and everything is about Palmyra. The lockstep between the MSM and the US military is frightening. They want to deny, or at least manage, Syria and Russia their well-deserved victory.
The Resistance Block should keep the pressure up on Aleppo but hold off taking it (trying to negotiate a surrender), then smash ISIS with a withering counter-attack before defences set in. Also they need to put more pressure on al-Bab and the Turks. ISIS can’t keep losing 5000 fighters at a time, almost as if their handlers are trying to divest themselves of a sinking stock..
The final terrorist enclave cannot be rescued, the burning Russian MASH unit saw to that. So the final liberation of Aleppo can wait, Palmyra and al-Bab can’t. Rather than a passing muted Aleppo liberation, it should be the propaganda victory which turns the war. The Syrian Stalingrad deserves nothing less.
I cannot imagine how could Palmyra fallen. Looking at the map, there is desert all around many miles, even here on this blog some have said – very well – that an attack on Palmyra is to be expected after the initiation of Mosul offensive. How could 4 – 5.000 men with all their weapons and cars to come even close to that city ? in the middle of the desert… My thought was that the defenders of the city would make this very hard to achieve, at least. Were there no huge minefields way in front of the lines of defense ? No deep observation posts ? No satellite and drone ? How could they be so blind ? The case may be that the ISIL fighters have approached the near site in very small pockets and waited till the entire force is there organized for attack, but how could they be left unseen ? even when such move was more than probable ? I just wonder.
The suicide bomb attack in Cairo’s Copt-Christian church : who could be behind it to provoke more and more chaos ? and just look at Europe – the Christian one – what they say, is that a problem for them, or even for the Pope ? Where is the outrage in the west ? Christians can be murdered, – don’t see, don’t hear, don’t speak – this is the Evil in the eve of Jesus birth day. Everything is calculated by very cruel and savage minds, who will the peace not to be upon us.
Dear Ioan,
I have felt that disappointment and shame regarding the West’s lack of empathy for so long I am becoming immune to it. I wrote in the last Café that Egypt and Turkey are being reminded by Anglo-Zionist intelligence agencies that you can’t voluntarily leave the Mafia. The Turkish attack was made to look like a PKK strike (targeting police), but otherwise it has the classic Gladio 2 “ISIS” MO. In Egypt this is more something from the standard playbook; fermenting sectarian divides by attacking each other’s congregations while they are actively practicing their faith. This happens in Pakistan every second month, all the way back to when this began in Iraq in 2005. The evil that men do.
I share your exasperation at how ISIS could just appear at Palmyra out of thin air. With the Mosul operation ongoing, the continuing siege of Deir ez-Zor and the SDF pressuring Raqqa, this triangle has to be the most closely-observed patch of sand on earth. So we can safely assume the Russians (and Syrians) knew ISIS was coming. They must have chosen this battlefield, chosen to fighting withdraw from Palmyra, this must be to plan. We know the Syrians can hold a fortified airbase (and this was before Russian help), the T-4 must be the cornerstone of the plan. With Aleppo liberated, a huge force is about to be freed up to swing into action. Palmyra was always a propaganda victory, not a real one like Aleppo. Maybe ISIS has taken the bait, and in a few days is about to feel the jaws of the trap snap shut. In the end, poorly trained and equipped light infantry are not going to hold ground in the open desert. They are far from their bases with extended LoC, no reinforcements, and no hope. Maybe they are being sacrificed to clean house before Trump changes everything.
Thanks Earthrise for your logical conclusion, meanwhile I’ve read the comments on the other thread regarding this issue and learned that this would be probably some kind of trap for the ISIL thugs. Good to be here and learn a lot.
@ Ioan
Perhaps there is a bit of wishful thinking about the “trap” in order to restore one’s balance and faith in “our” troops.
I have my doubts and credit should be given to the headchoppers for pulling out such an embarrassing re-occupation after all the fanfare and celebrations on its liberation weeks ago. Anyway, we’ll soon find out if the trap door is shut.
Schrödinger’s cat
I am also mad as hell about this. It is outrageous, and utterly sad.
We have also seen an escalation in fierceness in the war that the empire has unleashed against humanity in Venezuela where a massive ciber-attack was conducted against Venezuelan currency coordinated with extraction mafias that have drained the country of paper money to Colombia. Today President Maduro has taken out of circulation paper bills of Bs. 100 in order to recuperate some of the currency. I try to be optimist and think the empire is wounded or at least weakened…it is just to difficult to keep this feeling when watching what reality means for so many millions of people
Right on. USrael is the glue that keeps it all together… the gift that keeps on giving.
Lavrov seems to be becoming a little strident, or frustrated, or exasperated these recent days, kinda saying the Palmyra attack was synchronised by the west…on Tass tonight a stiff reminder to Erdogan that usa must comply with the Montreux convention about time limits of usa ships in the Black Sea…..and that usa apparently is protecting al-nusra in order to effect regime change in Syria..,after recent procrastination’s by usa, once again Lavrov seems to be asking for a statement from usa regarding the fundamental principle that anyone wanting to be part of the peace process must lay down their arms…is he saying this for above reasons and -or is confident of success in Syria one wonders, and all usa hysteria and falsehoods are becoming exposed…even saying that eu has given instructions to all the countries as how to lamblast and blame Russia for everything that they can(hence Merkel saying German elections have so far not been hacked by Russia?)…hmmm. Syrian perspective saying tonight that SAA has laid a trap for isis………
It seems that Merkel is dancing the tango.
A Legatum Institute speaker, ex-Development Minister Andrew Mitchell has demanded an emergency debate in the British Parliament to send in the RAF to ‘rescue’ citizens in Aleppo.
Wonder how much Saudi money he’s picking up for that ?
I kind of hope they do – and get utterly strafed out of the skies for invading Syrian airspace.
Ps Just heard on the news here – first item – that an ’emergency’ meeting has been held in the UN to ‘address the crisis in Aleppo.
So yeah, I think Palmyra is a diversion too….
There is a must reed on the pravdareport about Russia’s “aggressive promotion of Christian values”
Here is a small piece : “”Angela Merkel’s initiative to ban the “aggressive promotion of Christian values by the Russian Federation” has received mixed reactions. Why does Europe want to abandon Orthodox values? Pravda.Ru conducted an interview on the subject with Father Andrey (Tkachev), a supernumerary clergyman of the Church of Resurrection in Moscow. ”
“Nowadays, when Russia appears to be a religious country, they have lost their enemy. As soon as Russia found Christ again, they stopped believing in him. They no longer need him. They only pretended to be religious, but then they took off their masks. “It appears that in Western Europe, there is satanic religion prevailing today. They are doing all this for the sake of their own values, are they not?”
The entire article is very interesting.
@ Ioan
Thank you. The dismantling of Christianity is one of the main objectives of the Jewish plan for global domination – and it makes sense if you think about it. Firstly for revenge for the historical perceived and real discrimination against Jews all the way from Lisbon to Moscow, with the occasional exceptions in the Low Countries and England. Secondly, the de-Christianization of Europe ensures the removal of a strong ideological barrier to acceptance of Jewish hegemony, the creation of individuals unattached to any belief or social group from the family to class strata. That is why Freud, the Frankfurt School, the Tavistocl Institute and other Jewish thinktanks launched sustained attacks on the traditional bastions of society and encouraged and funded social change of whatever colour from Communism to flower power and the current trend of “Cultural Marxism”, which has nothing to do with Marxism as I understand it..

Good morning. I mistook. Thought Erie was Eire, from Pennsylvania to Ireland in a heartbeat, where the craic is good, as here.
I can’t keep up with the All News room. I’ve been deliciously busy making videos on love. After I get back from Wisconsin, I hope to put them up on youtube, and then you can see the real me.
In the meantime (mean time?), let me keep the pot stirred by mentioning “communal sex.” Practically every day, when I start my walk to the trolley to the town, Ojai by name, I am invariably joined by the Love Army, and we walk fro and to the Love Bower as I affectionately call my personal bower here in Vulva Valley, aka the Ventura River bottom. The idea of the centrality of communal sex is on our (Love Army + I) minds–please bear in mind that this is an idea, so don’t freak out or get nausea; nobody has to change anything: I’m just suggesting to think about it long range.
I see Jimmy Moglia of Shakespeare fame has another piece on the Italian elections. I skimmed it but have no idea if the result was good or bad. I read him for his style, for the same reason I read Shakes-her-spear. Jimmy Dear, you have to read Joe Atwill’s book on Shakespeare. I bought your book on Shakespeare btw.
Btw, by the way, I like this new format; it wasn’t a mistake after all. I should go back and close out my unfinished business at the old “lonesome cup” cafe. Love ya all; you make my day, every which way, in this Erie Eire cafe.
Dear Dennis,
As you are not going to drop your communal sex meme, I have to ask; aren’t you worried about social cohesion? You know in The Wild, males spend all our time fighting for access to females, or defending our rights to females? It is one of the main reasons we as a species have been successful, our males cooperate. And a big reason for this is we have instituted Monogamy. This way each male has the opportunity to find a mate, as the Alphas haven’t stolen them all. We are party to an ancient truce, I would be very careful advocating we break it. The resulting war could destroy our species.
I understand your call is more philosophical than literal, and I hear my feminist friends (and maybe yourself) telling me about the bondage of marriage as an extension of the Paternal Order. To me, the natural order is Paternal; survival of the fittest (the strongest males). Though sometimes I see that order as Maternal, with all the females banding together, forcing the males to fight ourselves to death for sex, then accepting the strongest as the gene donor. This poor/lucky sap then has to live the rest of his short life fighting off rivals (who would otherwise mass-rape the females) until he loses, dies and is replaced. Maybe monogamy is the rejection of a Feminine order which pits us against each other for their benefit (and by extension our genetic strength.) A genetic strength we no longer need or can have in a civilised society where the less-fit are protected.
I see your proposal as less about ‘free sex’, than about what changes would have to take place in our culture and personalities for this paradigm to eventuate. We would have to be free of jealousy, which may have evolved as part of living monogamously. So maybe you are not saying we should live in an non-stop Roman orgy, but that the emotions, personalities and social structures we have that would stop this from happening need to be addressed anyway. Sex and having children are cause and effect, your proposal seems to divorce these two. I am not sure what effect that would have on us and society. Maybe it is as I learned from Buddhism; we need to lose all attachments and Love everybody equally. If this is what you mean, you may have re-examine the sex component in your plan and start studying the Buddha.
Good observations. I took some notes and will think about them on the trip back to my upbringing home in Wisconsin via train. I may be away from blogging for awhile but you and the other members of our virtual family will be in my thoughts. You have zeroed in on the heart of the issue regarding my most basic contention, which is summed up in the notion of “communal sex.” It is my gut intuition, but more than that: emotional intelligence. I need to work on expressing it in words that make sense.
“Jimmy Dear, you have to read Joe Atwill’s book on Shakespeare”
I am glad to see that someone came across Atwill’s Shakespeare exposé.
In a nutshell, Atwill positions that the spear shaking Anonymous turns out to be a Jewish woman of Italian birth, Emilia Bassano, later known as Emilia Lanier (1569–1645) and all plays by Shakespeare well occulted, genocidal anti-New Testament satire.
Here is a 2015 Red Ice Interview with Joe Atwill on the topic:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QI4Ic4IS95E
Whoever wrote the plays and poems (and Kit Marlowe and Sir Francis Bacon are among the many put forward as contenders by various scholars) they are fine works that have stood the test of time and given some wonderful phrases to the language.

Remember when they launched the arabic Alhurra to much fanfare in 2004?

No Arab takes Alhurra seriously. Not one!
The station continues to be is a pathetic joke across the region.
I suspect this new venture will suffer a similiar fate.
Someone pointed out sometime ago that US media is failing because they are essentially selling a discredited product that no one wants.
And this is not for want of resources.
They are spending $billions, but no one is interested in the lies and crap that they are pushing out.
That is why they are now manouvring to wage war on the alternative sources of information that are out there.
“Fake News” is the new cry.

I’v seen the pics and there is nothing wrong with them.
I see the UN howling and hollering about males in Allepo being taken for interrogation.
WTF?
Allepo has been in the clutches of terrorists since about 2012.
The criminals and terrorists commited atrocities against the population and they must be held accountable for their crimes.
Now that the government has regained control of the area, it has a duty to detain and process these persons to find out if there are criminals/terrorists amongst them.
Who are you?
What is you name?
Do you have any documents to verify your identity?
What were you doing all this time the city was under the control of terrorists?
Etc. etc. etc.
These are legitimate questions to be asked and answered.
The Syrian government has a duty to see to it that criminals and terrorists who brought ruin to Syria are held accountable?
Israel routinely kill, injure, detain, harrass and interrogate Palestinians kids.
And nary a word from these bleeding hearts?
In the USA – that much talked about bastion of freedom- people now routinely find that they have been placed on “No Fly Lists” and are barred from travelling.
And getting off the list is next to impossible, because in most cases no one knows why they are on the list, in the first place.
I dont see UN talking heads getting exercised about this arbitrary violation of person’s rights.
Yet in Syria anything and everything the government does is “cause for concern”.
These sanctimonious hypocrites are pathetic…..

Just shows how out of touch that prat is. To ‘rescue’ citizens you would need lots of large transport aircraft like commercial jets, not RAF jets. Perhaps he means ‘rescue’ as in Humanitarian Bombing–i.e. bomb them to smithereens in order to save them.
In reality he is just flapping his lips for the cameras.
Only about 15 Tory MP’s in the House for the debate, which tells you all you need to know about how concerned the government is.
Hi Helen.
Didn’t know it was so ill-attended.
Good thing or bad?
Can they get it through?
15 out of 329? No chance.
This was more a bit of sanctimonious ‘virtue signalling’ than a serious proposal. Mitchell is trying to polish his reputation after a serious contretemps, known as ‘Plebgate’ with the police service that cost him his cabinet position, chief whip spot and about £2 million quid in legal fees.

Kent my friend,
You were very good at picking the AnonTroll with the long-form, un-credited posts. Filling up the Café with a continuous stream of posts isn’t very different. This is a democracy, so please do as you will. But if we are to guard against trolls, we need to also model the kind of behaviour which makes trolling as difficult as possible. I’ll leave it up to the Café to decide. I would rather hear your assessment, than read a bunch of links which I can go and find myself.
No biggie mate, what do you think?
“Filling up the Café with a continuous stream of posts isn’t very different. ”
I know, and I do agree. Firstly. This was meant to be a test for eventually future developments, just to see how it works, and what adjustments might have to be or could be implemented when things get worse in order to determine whether we actually can communicate here when SHTF. We can’t IMO. It will get worse, very much so I believe.
Secondly, Instead of responses to “trolling”, sliding etc that I have used in forum environments that are quite different from this place, and out of respect for the “inhabitants” (some of whom I really do admire for their comments and insights), I wanted to stir up the pot a bit, without being to rude, and direct, (as is actually my usual response elsewhere, a spade is a spade right?).
So the 23 year old poet with his love army, vulva.valley, group-sex, whatever, using this Cafe’ as his own diary/playground/confessional personal rants etc., and when it turned out that this guy is actually 77 years of age. (Is he??) .
I’m all for giving anybody a chance, giving them sanctuary if need be, and have personally taken into our house quite a few bewildered and out of touch with our realities individuals with great skills and personalities. Costs us dearly (no regrets though, part of life).
I could actually write a novel about this. I’ll spare you though.
So part of my intention here was to diffuse and bewilder the poet, (a kick in the ass if you will), not to leave, but maybe reconsider where he is at, who else is there etc., and how to adjust.
I doubt if he can though. We will see.
Anyway, even as he gave me the Arrrgh! feeling, he is still not anywhere near Conrad Moricand in Henry Millers “A Devil in Paradise” right?
I consider this blog to be a place for reflection, and not news-flashes where bombastic comments are uttered based on that.
As I see it, there is a lot of “competition” (in lack of a better word) amongst “top of the line” commentators/posters, news-anchors etc. to comment on fragments of reality, that being Geo-Political, Spiritual, (Pseudo) Science or other.
Alexander Marcouris is a prime example. He pumps out articles at an ever increasing speed, as he were in some sort of Olympics. Absolutely amazing, and I really do appreciate this man with his stiff upper lip English.
He is running faster than most editors/journalists on the subjects he is covering (wide span). But, he is running behind the wagon, trying to catch up, as they all are, simply because they are not interdisciplinary minded (like most scientists).
This, however, does not in any way or form diminishes their impact on quite a few individuals, slowly (or rapidly awakening to some disturbing facts).
Same goes for Pepe’ Escobar, very enthusiastic, a bit narrow in perspectives, but a likable guy with vast knowledge and contacts. I do enjoy all of his articles and rants, even though he sometimes out of whatever necessity has copied/pasted fairly long articles/comments without links to source. Shit happens for the best of us, right??
Earthrise
I could go ion for quite a bit, but to put it short. I will not publish more on the spot, 10 minutes after it happened or so links here again. This is not the forum for doing so. This IMO is “The reflection Zone”,, and I sincerely want it to be just that.
We all have our weaknesses, demons and what not. We are Human (some of us anyway).
We are at war though, and the war we are fighting here, are as important as any war, anywhere.
Provided off-course that YOU, all of YOU are not only here, but elsewhere, whatever age you are, surroundings, social/economic environments you are in, whatever. Don’t just be here, be THERE/ELSEWHERE as well. In other words “Fight with what you have where you are”.

Aren’t we a lucky bunch of people?
Just regarding one aspect of military “Hardware”.
The American JFF 35 (Joint Fail Striker” is a beautiful example of just how lucky we are. In all aspects of it’s intended use it is a magnificent failure-
I’m sure that quite a few of you are familiar with the why’s of that, so I’m not going to post ex-number of links to prove this point.
One is sufficient.
This one: http://www.ausairpower.net/jsf.html
Donald Trump yesterday raised some questions about the JFF, and immediately the “Martin Lockedhead” shares dropped by 4%. Good.
Just one of the potentially adversary fighters in a given conflict (one of the best, most versatile and reliable fighter aircraft ever build is the SU-35. The origin, displaying the Russian philosophy in building fighter planes can be found at wikipedia, and on articles/posts on this forum by the Saker and others.
Some individuals might (and do often) bring forward the American F-22 as the most advanced, agile and state of the art fighter jet.
It is a beautiful and very agile aircraft.
However. It requires a vacuum-cleaned airstrip for landing and take of (literally).
It cannot fly in heavy rain.
It cannot communicate with other airplanes while in flight.
It requires 37 hours of maintenance for each hour in the air.
It was extremely expensive, (production was halted and less than 200 were build)
I was asked yesterday by one of the regular contributors to this blog to make a depiction of the SU-35, which is the primary reason for this little post.
Here are two versions of the preferred depiction. (out off three scenarios).
Fairly high resolution (but still “small” in megabytes).

These are awesome images of an awesome aircraft. IMNSHO the Su-27 is the single most beautiful aircraft ever made and its Su-35S is one of its most beautiful subvariants. It only makes sense that it would also be arguably the most formidable combat aircraft ever made. The new T-50 is still a mystery to me so I reserve judgment on that one, but until it becomes fully operational I think that the Su-35S will be the king of the skies.
Thanks a lot for these beautiful images!

Dear Saker,
Military design is what brought me to History as a boy, and thus everything else that led to in my life. The sweep of a Stuka’s gull wing, the angular beauty of a Panzer V, the clean lines of the Bismarck. These weapons are not only designed for function, there is a message in the design, a statement. As I grew older and came to hate war, I taught myself to stop admiring weapons and start caring about the people on the receiving end. I have been very successful in this endeavour, until I started seeing those Russian jet fighters in their blues and greys, contrails swirling off their wingtips. Beautiful weapons sends a message of strength and confidence which warns potential adversaries to not underestimate this civilisation. I reckon the message is getting through.
Kevin Annett Update: Vatican Politics Unveiled – https://youtu.be/3zg3EG1L4UU
Worldwide Satanic Pedophilia
A painful, ugly subject that must be faced and dealt with. When the cabal comes down, so will the pedophilia/ritual abuse and torture of children. ~ BP
The most abhorrent conspiracy is that against children. No one has done more than Kevin Annett to shine uncompromising light on this uncomfortable subject.
Kevin, a former United Church minister, and the International Tribunal for Crimes of Church and State (ITCCS) have demonstrated that the Vatican embodies and protects not just a few bad-apple pedophiles, but for hundreds of years and before that in the State Religion of the Roman Empire has institutionalized ritual child abuse, child sacrifice, child canibalism and, in Canada, the US, and around the world, has overseen the mass murder of indigenous tribal children, mainly through Church-run orphanage genocide machines, where 50% have died for over one hundred years.
In a set of damning documents re-produced here, Annett proves the State and Church — hardly ‘separate’ — are complicit in these institutions of evil through the Catholic Church in their own documents not considering child rape, torture or sacrifice to be a crime.
Talking about the crime by victim or rapist or priest is a crime worthy of excommunication. In some areas 25% of all priests are implicated in child trafficing and the other 75% know about it yet can not talk about it, therefore they are accomplices in Law – but not in Church Law!!
Together, Church and State become guardians of the children— (all churches all religions and all states) — render indigenous children “orphans” through a corrupt legal system which strips them from their parents and effectively imprisons them in orphanages where genocidally 50% of the children have died for over one hundred years. Many of these are better labeled ‘concentration camps’ and are organized as veritable “killing machines.” (For instance, death rates show that housing infected TB victims with the uninfected was not a dumb mistake, but usual practice and policy.)
Natives on land for over one hundred years are targetted for extermination by the Porn, Pedophile, Ritual Sacrifice Networks which include some of the Police, Military, Crown Prosecution Services, Politicians, Priests, Doctors, Psychiatrists, Masons, Escobars, Mafia, Chinese Tongs.
There are sworn statements where policemen abduct, video torture and snuff women and children and yet they are protected by the state. All so that international companies can take their land and the valuable commodities in and on that land.
“It started the night I saw a guy unloading bags near the reserve garbage dump and burying them there. Later I recognized him as Dave Pickton, brother of serial killer Willie Pickton. I dug around there later and found a bunch of bones Pickton had buried. I took them to SFU forensics and it turns out they were the bones of several young women mixed up with pig remains. Dave Pickton was actually employed by the Musqueam band for over two years. “
Les took his discovery to the police and the press. He was told to keep quiet about it and even threatened by police officials. Later, when he talked about what he’d found he was fired by the Musqueam band and forced to move away. According to Les,
“For years I was friends with Wendy Sparrow and Ed John and the other Musqueam chiefs, and I learned a lot about their dirty laundry, like the child trafficking and the guns and drugs they bring in through Celtic Shipyards. I know there’s body dumping sites in at least three spots on the UBC campus, not just at Musqueam. UBC is provincial land so it’s under Police RCMP jurisdiction. The Mounties have made many of our aboriginal women go missing. So what better place for them to hide their remains?”
“That genocide has been around since the first Catholic and Anglican missionaries spread vaccine-induced smallpox among the interior and coastal Indians during the 1860′s. Fourteen separate mass graves of Indian residential school children dot the province, containing the remains of thousands of innocents murdered by the Anglican, United and Catholic Churches, all of whom have heavy endowments on our campus.
“The expulsion of all remaining traditional native tribes from their west coast lands assumed greater urgency as the twentieth century closed and the global demand for hydro-electricity, timber, minerals and other British Columbia (B.C.) resources intensified. Consequently, the past quarter century has witnessed an escalation of violence against Indians in Canada and a return to the violent methods of the early colonial period.
“Behind its mask of beneficence, as epitomized by its new, spin doctoring Prime Minister Trudeau, Canada is a closed and repressive society that is actively exterminating the remaining “non-assimilated” indigenous people within its borders. It is doing so according to its foundational genocidal program of 1910 and the 1998 Chretien black ops Directive, and with the active collusion and in the interest of Chinese and American resource corporations.
“Our continuing investigations reveal that many of the men who tortured and killed children in the Indian residential schools and who are still preying on aboriginal women and children are also members or affiliates of the elite Vancouver Club at 915 West Hastings street. Their odious ranks include three Supreme Court judges, a battery of lawyers, church officials and corporate officers, a former Prime Minister and senior members of the RCMP and the Canadian military. Virtually all of these individuals are practicing members of the Anglican or United Church, and two Catholic Bishops are included in their number. Many of these men have also been identified by a former Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) operative as participants in the murderous “Piggy’s Palace” torture and snuff-film ring, including two politicians who now serve in the Canadian Senate.

Child Protection Services Worldwide are private companies pretending to be government services. They target poor single mothers who get 500$ a month for their child, take the child for which they receive 100,000$ then put them into a foster home paying 1000$ per month for the child where the children are put on seven drugs and die within a year. So the same genocidal system is moving from indians to pore whites.
As Kevin Annett has shown — and here backs up with new documentary evidence — these Church and State institutions feed into a larger criminal network involving world drug and human trafficking.
This includes forced child prostitution, and ritual satanic abuse and murder of children, ritual human sacrifice snuff films, pedophile porn torture canibalism at the highest levels of society including the Vatican, Oligarchic billionaires, Black Nobility, 33rd Degree Freemasons, Satanic Pagan Cybele Worship and the “Ninth Circle.”
Queen Elizabeth signs treaty with Pope at Hollyrood in Edinburgh to be included in the Catholic Church including Church Law forbidding talking about child rape, torture, porn, Ritual Satanic Sacrifice, video snuff.
Holywood one of the World Centers of child and women trafficking, and their rape, torture, porn, Ritual Satanic Sacrifice, video snuff.
In this wide-ranging interview also Kevin throws penetrating insider’s light on the Jesuit pope Bergoglio’s connection with 40,000 torture murders in Argentina and his connection with the trafficking of those murdered people’s children in the way that Fascist Franco did the same in Spain.
Of crucial global importance are Kevin’s comments on the Vatican’s shifting international relations in a time when its traditional Western allies are crumbling in the face of the Eastern alliances, the BRICS economic pact, the AIIB bank, the Shanghai Cooperation Organization, SCO, the new Silk Road projects, and so on.
In particular Kevin’s comments on the Vatican’s rapprochement with Satanic Totalitarian Communist China and their Elite Dragon Families where they execute – sacrifice – yearly 10,000 religious minorities prisoners of conscience by eviscerating them and selling their organs to Satanic Oligarchs. It’s not to make the slave population of China Rich in their suicide net factories, but to make Europe and USA Poor!!
In these days of Apocalypse (“unveiling”, “Revelation”) and a last big Syrian battle not far from Megiddo (Armaggedon), it should perhaps come as no surprise to find a Church of the Antichrist in Rome and its collusion on all sides with the Black Nobility. As the Clinton and even Bush crime families crumble, we should keep our eye on these older centers of corrupt power. By turning a steady and unflinching light on the most horrific of their crimes, Kevin Annett has done more than almost anyone else to make sure that ‘disclosure’ is full and complete, not partial, and that truth precedes reconciliation.

@ Dennis
When lies and propaganda approach credible limits, the war is lost.
It happens in every war. Corruption never yields but to the last bullet.
The MSM are flogging rigged elections, glorious weather, and the negative
externalities of useless eaters all the while making sheeple of themselves.
We’re on our own. Time for a little love and excellence.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=06vP_KuRouo
Nice attributions, anon. Thanks.
There is an increased focus on Propaganda these days; Fake News, Russian Hackers, lying MSM and Pizzagate. As someone who has a degree in the Humanities, and as my physical scientist friends keep telling me, I can say that social science is not really science. In the physical sciences, the variables are fixed and measurable. This allows for repetition, and the ability for others to independently test our models. The variable in social science is people, and they are about as variable as it gets. Experiments cannot be replicated and verified, so this is not really science. As Sun Tzu found out, studying people is an art, outcomes cannot be predicted with certainty; there is no Truth.
In my experience, the best way to lie to people is to tell them what they want to believe. This is why the MSM has been so successful, they told people what they wanted to believe about our civilisation; that we are good and just, a light upon the world and essential for a moral and fair world. All people need is a convincing story to tell their sub-consciousness when alarm bells start to sound. Seeing the world for what it is is painful, and imparts a form of mild PTSD on the Awake. People fear having their certainties and personality foundations challenged, and recoil from the pain and change that must come from that realisation. They would rather believe a beautiful lie than accept a painful truth.
People are worried that the Russians are manipulating the Western public; words like Hybrid War and Reflexive Control. Rather than all these fancy MI terms, I’ll go with you can’t fool all of the people all of the time. Many more of us now have been hurt and abandoned by our governments, so the pain and change has been forced on us anyway. Once that veil comes down, the world rushes in and while it takes time to slowly unravel all our false assumptions, bit-by-bit all the pieces come together. The Russian’s aren’t hacking us, they are providing another narrative which explains the new reality for many Westerners; a reality which many Third World people have known for decades. You saw the wailing and gnashing of teeth from Hillary’s supporters after the election, we have a tough time ahead. In the end, we can’t let the Russians dictate the new narrative, as we will expose ourselves to their lies that we want to believe. We need to begin our own narrative, the New West, and some of its bards and troubadours are here.
If there has to be Propaganda, let it be our own, in our own interest.
> If there has to be Propaganda, let it be our own, in our own interest.
Or, in the wise words of the Church of the Subgenius, “Pull the wool over your own eyes.”
Ha ha, at least then we wouldn’t be offshoring one industry.
Reflection
The mirror and a small reflection
In the fog of early dawn,
The man in search of his direction
In the noise of his town.
What binds the mirror and the man
Is a slow recognition
Of ‘what he can’ and ‘what he can’t’
Becoming a conviction.

Trump Promises Changes to ‘Out of Control’ F-35 Program
https://sputniknews.com/military/201612121048476185-trump-promises-change-fighter-jets/
“After campaigning to reduce wasteful government spending, US President-elect Donald Trump announced that he is poised to modify the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program, on the same day that Israel was supposed to receive its first two F-35 fighters.
Some $400 billion has been spent by the US on the beleaguered program to date, but Washington is not Lockheed Martin’s sole source of revenue for its F-35s. Israel, as part of the massive $38 billion ten-year military handout it is receiving from the US, will acquire 50 F-35s over the coming years, and just last week Japan received its first F-35 at the Luke Air Force Base in Arizona.”
Another military pork barrel project trump is looking at.
Regarding israel being given 50 of these 21st century Kamikaze kites at us taxpayer expense, let the goatsods pay for the planes themselves. Actually, the f-35 is an ideal aircraft for israel. It will reduce their ability to wage aggressive war against weaker nations.
This cafe collects an wonderful assortment of believers of nature to poetry to freedom and fantasies.
Here is a bit more quirky stuff to take or leave – believe or not believe.
The influential publication The Economist released its traditional end of year edition where it predicts events of the coming year. The 2017 edition is presented in a very occult fashion: A tarot deck modified with cryptic symbols.

Babushka, time does not permit a very thorough examination of 1/20 of the material posted just in this brasserie/café, by any one person, but I think I get the gist of the link you posted.
What made me stop here to react, contribute, annoy or agree (“let the chips fall where they may”) is the “believe or not believe” notion in your comment, not just that yours was the bottom comment when I stopped reading and started writing.
Is there stuff from ancient Egypt and beyond, all around us, exerting conscious and unconscious influence, whether we like it or not?
Relative to other things that I either “know”, suspect, or believe, I pretty much know it to be so. Although I also know that the urgencies of life’s material requirement or the apathy in people’s leisure hours, including my own, make the attention drift here and there, sometimes to return and follow up, and more often to fail to do so, despite fleeting intention to do so.
Doubters of such esoterica: Without believing or disbelieving, consider whether you might have been acknowledging Horus, the Son of Osiris and Isis every time you use the word “hour” or “horizon”. I never looked at Horoscopes more than 10 times in my life, before meeting Mundo.
Hmmmm. Horus popping up again??
There may be disputes about such particulars. And while I strongly suspect that Horus is with us every hour, like it or not, I will go so far as to say I know that there are more than a thousand times as many instances such as that which we use daily with little or no awareness of the fact that we are doing so.
My intention is to “believe” as little as possible, and reject (disbelieve) as little as possible, but take in as much as possible from as many diverse sources as possible and only reject that which is clearly stupid or false to my very open and tolerant filters, and hold as much else in suspension, for continued consideration, until more evidence or better ability to perceive and process is achieved, as is possible or practical.
This is far too deep a subject to be finished here today, but I will comment in the same vein just on two aspects of the foregoing:
1) Dennis, and what comments on Dennis, both here in Brasserie and recently said in a general sense and,
2) the link you provided many months ago, early in 2016 on Freemasonry in Russia. Initially I tried to read it but couldn’t get very far. Only 5-10 pages. A few weeks a go I finished it. Now there’s a rare example of eventual follow up!
Ah, Dennis, Dennis, Dennis. Unnatural sex suppression (Catholicism) followed by explosion of sex expression, with a vengeance. I loved the Moglia information about all the nephews and nieces (nepoti = nepotism) of Popes. Am I Weary of Leary? Yes and No.
There is love there , besides the mantric repetition of the word to the point of numbness. But there is also a gentle wish on my part for giving the communal genital nirvana proselytizing some very long and frequent rests. I suspect some kind of esoteric metaphor at work, which I have held in suspension, for further consideration, now, for nearly a year, without yet overcoming my discomfort, having failed to “get” the point of it.
Evidently there is a Bower Power Walk underway in Ojai, and they (approximately 1 per billion of earth’s human inhabitants) “get it” but does one other person outside of Ojai? I don’t know. Even before Isabella or whoever brought up the patriarchal, violent Chimps and their Matriarchal gentle bobones counterparts safely separated across a river, the recurring imagery before my mind’s eye, most of 2016 was Planet of the Apes.
I’m all for right brain Sacred Feminine versifying and such and Dennis is inspirational in that regard, but I have to say Earthrise’s expression of the feminine side is fully comprehensible to me in 2-3 posts whereas the communal carnal desire release as some kind of political program for stopping war continues to leave me uninspired and baffled after many, many months of patient toleration. Returning to some kind of vague ancient paradise is evolution, not devolution?? I’m “from Missouri” : Show me!
I’m still waiting and waiting. Too weary even to resume composing Weary of Leary!! Which I did start, by the way. It wasn’t just a joke.
However, what I wanted to do was expand on Isabella’s essay, not have to deal with the association of poets like iaon and teranam or others with the Planet of the Apes reaction. I suspect a few would like to versify more than once but are leery of that simian sexual association, so suppress their sonnet sharing here. That’s unfortunate, but I doubt it’s on Dennis’ radar.
And that radar’s range, its scope is what I would wish to discuss further, if Dennis were a neighbor. But since he isn’t, I may do it here, later. Why? Because it applies to every atomized self in the longing and striving to unite itself to a larger, more Universal Self.
2. Your Freemasonry in Russia link early this year, whether you read it or not, I don’t know. But I finally did. Of course it is extremely incomplete, and begins with a history of the masonic tentacles of various competing European masons into Russia, the toleration and suppression of “the Craft” by various Czars and Catherine the Great and an outline down to almost the present day.
It goes from rather dry cataloging of numbers of lodges of different descriptions over the centuries, with interesting involvement of many historical figures, but in an academic way, to impassioned attacks on Zionism, and the Bolsheviks and the New World Order, at its conclusion. Of course it only scratches the surface, but it does so deeply enough to give some satisfaction that the time spent reading is not entirely wasted, as it points in various other interesting directions for further study.
All for now.
Could you provide the link on Russian FreeMasonry?
Thanks.
I printed out the article on Freemasonry in Russia that Baushka in Oz linked many months ago and only got through it a few days ago. It’s not the Rosetta Stone or the Holy Grail and furthermore the link to it did not come out in the printing of it. But it does have a lot of references for further digging.
So, you might find it with a search, but when I spent 10 minutes and found all kinds of other stuff instead, I gave up the search.
It starts: Introduction to Russian Freemasonry
Now that I try that (Duh!) I find it: https://www.scribd.com/document/291887975/Russian-Freemasonry
Anon at 9:07 pm you will do yourself a great service if you distinguish yourself with some minor handle from legions of other Anonymouses who are really annoying in that you never know which one of them you are following up on, except when the same link about inequality of incomes in Russia is posted 25+ times, to get people to blame Putin for what Yeltsin and Bush did.
Saker may know more about masonry in Russia than you or I will ever find out. He mentioned it recently in an article about Orthodox vs Western Christianity, but only obliquely. The above link claims I. Yelagin, A. Suvorov, N. Novikov, A. Pushkin, M. Garder were all Russian masons. I did not find out whether Putin is or isn’t from reading the above link.
Mozart and George Washington were, so I don’t think it’s a condemnation. I think it’s a tool, and the good or bad that results from the tool’s use depends on the consciousness of the person or factions that pick the tool up and use it. It used to be a very secret thing, for very good reasons. I don’t think those reasons apply any longer and for the first time in history, it and things like it should be de-occulted .
It makes it easier to follow up and compare notes if you choose a unique handle. The 2 or more people might follow up by finding a good book. Before the US election there was discussion here of a “Sake Book Club” for such coordinated reading and discussion. Maybe next year there will be one, maybe not!
“…so I don’t think it’s a condemnation. I think it’s a tool, and the good or bad that results from the tool’s use depends on the consciousness of the person or factions that pick the tool up and use it…”
Well, but then, the same could be said of any ideology, whose “good or bad results depends on the conciousness of the person”, and so, I do not understand why some here are so prone to demonize some ideologies from what did one or some people in the past.
About the link they are asking me a suscription to download it that I am not willing to do, since I am not willing to register in any site, but besides, seemed to me, from the first paragraphs, a propaganda text about Masonry ( all in Masonry is good ) not an objective study.
In fact, resembles a lot the discourse of quite some here….
I wonder if we are going to witness now an apology of Masonry here….
I found another book time ago about Russian Diaspora which included a chapter on Russian Masonry, but due to the numerous cyber attacks my computer has suffered so far I have lost a lot of material not saved in another hard drive.
Anon at 6:38 I was able to read the linked article without subscribing to anything, FYI.
But like I said, the article settles very little, for me. I will just add that what I don’t want or need from things such a masonry is the compartmentalization and hierarchy. I understand why they are there, as they are there in armed forces. But I’m not in the army or some lodge, and I enjoy being free of the hierarchy and compartmentalization that comes with such packages.
If you find something more interesting on the topic please share it. But pick a handle.
Most of masonry that I can currently see operative in the world is not good. Like the 911 ritual. These guys are not exactly Mozart or George Washington, are they?
So get serious and choose a handle, come out of the woodwork a little and go deeper. But I think I already know you, BTW. By the way your mind works. Or rather, by the way it doesn’t work.
I must say that the fact of you trying to make us anonymous not worth of a serious consideration, nor even respect, gets in contradiction with the way you treated in the past others with a “handle”.
So, I will remain anonymous as I was adviced to do to avoid any kind of bias coming from different people/sections in this blog. At the same time, it is a good cure against the temptations leading to oversized egos, since we are never able to adjudizice ourselves anything posted, less cite ourselves, as you usually do yourself. So, being anonymous we are following your good advice on forgetting about ego in order to concentrate the effort to achieve the goal, something you should consider yourself also.
Anyway, since knowledge is social, I will share what I had researched so far.
It was a chapter on Russian Masonry included in the book “Russians in exile” by Prince Valerian Obolensky ( considered a mason himself ).
Searching for the link I had in the past ( which included the chapter about Russian Masonry included in this book, although in a format of bad quality difficult to read but still available ), and which I lost when my computer was put out of work, I have found an interesting and informative article which, even when favourable to Masonry and so hugely biased, could give the average reader an input on the machinations of these sects/organizations, their role as “shadow government” in the main and determinant events in world history, their elitist ( they accepted in their ranks “only” people coming from “the best families”, as if that were enough to guarantee the highest virtuosism ), patriarchal ( women were vetoed from participate as members ) and undemocratic ( see their hierarchical organization ) character, their most probable role in the assassination of Tsar Nicholas I and the last Romanovs, as well as the contradictory opposite relations they are given by interested disinformation sources with the Bolshevik Revolution ( when they have played a determinant role along history in erradicating Communism ). Also you will be able to test how they fight amongst each other ( Knights of Malta versus Templar Knights ), which could well be behind the numerous assassinations which took place among the Russian Monarchy, as well as the inevitable nexus with Orthodox Church hierarchies, being, at least Russian Masonry, self described as a religious movement.
In short, I find these people suffering of the same oversized ego they claim one has to free oneself from ( casually an aspect coincident with some here ), since they adjudicize themselves the possesion of the highest virtues but then, you find they do not hesitate in commit assassination ( including here “character assassination”, of ocurse ) in order to grab power, which, to my view, in the end, is their main goal. Not a hint of equality, accountability, or progress for all humanity anywhere.
This is the link, it is a site in Spanish, perhaps you could translate, but includes at the end some sources, included the book cited above for those willing to expand more:
http://symbolos.com/fmrusa.htm
Enjoy!
Bro 93…I agree with your well said statement … “take in as much as possible from as many diverse sources as possible and only reject that which is clearly stupid or false … etc”
That includes any links to tarot cards or freemasonary that I have posted here for anyone to read or not read. So why were you recently castigated by another poster for ‘not sharing’?? Sorry, I didn’t have the energy to wade into that debate to defend you. But (LOL) I see you have now included a summary of that article. Great follow up.
Agree…There is much to learn on a conscious and esoteric level.
Bro 93,
‘Twas I who brought up the bonobo reference as the closest approximation in current reality to the Utopia Dennis is trying to resurrect.
So I plead guilty on that one. However, at no point have I attempted to silence or pressure the poets to self-limit, I read that stuff, its welcome light relief to the doom of war news.
I did pick up another anon, along with Kent, for posting lengthy essays of other peoples work without any credit to the original authors. He has attributed his latest screed and I have thanked him for it.
I see no point in engaging with others except with a relatively open curious mind, I don’t like echo chambers.
Apart from all that, I have a scroll button and know how to use it.
Helen:
Guilty? I don’t see where you have any guilt. Not from anything done in the Vineyard, at least.
I wouldn’t be apology prone. You were civil. Reasonable people can take constructive criticism that has an intention in it, to get to deeper truth. The sensitive drama kings and queens that announce their impending departure (in some cases 4,5, 6 times) in order to lodge complaints and influence change, in their likeness and image, are entertaining, and nothing new. Whatever. Par for the course.
If something new doesn’t bother me occasionally and make me reconsider a number of things, I know I’m getting too comfortable. I welcome more discomfort, personally. Most of us are awake in at least some areas, but near fast asleep in others. This is no time to be complacent about the latter or to coddle ourselves or others, IMHO.
I think I get what you are saying, most of the time, BTW. Thanks.
I think there are many drama kings and queens here, apart from those who could have gone, be their leaving previously announced or not, and that everybody puts itself very dramatic whenever another touch anything from its sensible fiber.
So, I think anybody is free from be seen as a drama king/queen, included yourself when anybody criticize your intellectual sources.
Perhaps the one who has taken criticism best has been Dennis Leary with difference, but perhaps has been also because the people who have criticized him have done it with careful in not offending him. Others here have not been so fortunate, since have been attacked in mass and besides with bad manners. In fact I found very strange that certain comments would have passed moderation against certain commenters here. To call it drama to their fair dissapointment with this being allowed, I think it is not right.
On apologize, I think there is nothing wrong with doing it, dignifies the person who does it and is a thing that never hurts.
Obviously, there are people who never find anything to apologize for, and, these, always find it wrong when others do it.
Fine, but please get a life and choose a handle. Seriously.
Obviously I am supportive of both Helen, her criticism of Dennis and of Dennis and his clearest strengths.
Come out of the shadows and contribute to the “communal sex” debate, and I will be more respectful towards you, quibbler.
I don’t like the Tarot cards, I don’t like the occult things either but I believe in God judgment.
I don’t trust the part of ourselves the Tarot cards wake, once was enough. I have never seen God’s judgement, but natural justice/karma seems to work. Karma is not an external force (God), but the internal balance of our good and bad deeds. Bad deeds/thoughts force our self-justification to move away from the Truth, so a false construct has to be created to maintain our balance. Ironically, the further this construct travels from the Truth, the more we suffer, the greater the mental health breakdown. If this construct travels too far towards evil, it stretches and breaks off from our Humanity and we create a sociopath; essentially they become the construct. Good deeds/thoughts on the other hand help to move the construct back towards the Truth, and if we move into good karma territory, we start to feel happy. The best example of this feeling is when you see someone struggling to enter traffic and you let them in. They wave gratefully and you feel good. Keep adding those good deeds together, and your Karma, and happiness, is assured. And what a better world it would be.
In a way, this is my answer to God. You don’t need my worship (the Church does), I’ll just act as you would have me anyway, and if you judge me harshly to hell with you. It can’t be much worse than this place can be sometimes. We were given free will for a reason, so we can find our way back on our own. It is the journey, not the destination, that is important.
As I said before, I’m not a bigot worshiper, my mind is open widely enough to accept, learn and understand. As you say, the life is a journey we take on free will, but the destination is not indifferent for me, I wouldn’t like to go to hell or came back in a worst life, if ever. I don’t like to judge anyone on his/her beliefs if he/she does not hurt anyone’s life. To name God by name leads always to large polemical discussions, because He (God) will never intervene in our discussion to clarify the “real” term which it represents, letting us mortal people to search each on his/her way to find out the path which suits the individual better throughout the life. The simple fact that there are so many religions and fractions and beliefs, is a clear proof of the human internal and external challenges. An interesting question might be : what leads somebody to search for God ? We have to accept, that we are made in two parts : material and spiritual. The material part of us needs the material world, the spiritual part needs the spiritual world, just like the body needs earthly food and the soul needs spiritual food. Living here on Earth, we need a balance on both. Some need religion or some philosophy, some not. Even the communists needed a philosophy (ideology) We could speculate if the religions are also ideologies at some point, just looking at the earthly power they managed to achieve and the not so rosy record of their doings along history.
Interesting post, Babushka! I don´t see the negative connotations of the tarot. Even as a child I could read symbolisms, and they are one way of transmitting knowledge that can work on many levels at once. Even astrology is an elegant language which we can use to refine our understanding of our place in the world, and reflect on the goodness, or harmony of our relations to all beings. When I was a freshman at high school in Cupertino, I asked my teacher for her birthday, and wrote a paper on her. She was so flustered, you would have thought she had been stripped naked in front of the class. She kept asking me, how did you know all this about me? Actually everything is revealed to those who have eyes to see. And there are those among us who have tasted of the immortal realms. Its just damn hard work clearing ourselves of negative afflictive emotions enough to see at all. I welcome all tools to the task at hand!
At risk of being censured on this site, I have to admit to having taken initiations into an ancient wisdom system. Done with right intention, it can open doors to deeper understanding and further evolution. One thing to understand is that a true wisdom system requires years of meditation and ethical discipline and trainings. These things are not shared with the unworthy, and if they are, they don´t take. I do not believe that they are necessarily connected with the occult or NWO. They may have developed a bastardised version of these wisdom traditions. I do not think they will `work´ if they are not done with goodwill to all, and for the highest reasons.
I have to apologise to Dennis for the sin of impatience and intolerance. Still, in a cafe, one may skip over conversations for which one has no interest. I have started to read you occasionally again, as a practice of tolerance. I also wish for a world that is just and without war. Peace be to all in this season of light!
Thanks for sharing Robin
I agree … “One thing to understand is that a true wisdom system requires years of meditation and ethical discipline and trainings.”

According to Mark Ames, the ProporNot blacklist may have come from Ukrainian sources…
http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/12/09/the-anonymous-blacklist-promoted-by-the-washington-post-has-apparent-ties-to-ukrainian-fascism-and-cia-spying/
” One PropOrNot tweet, dated November 17, invokes a 1940s Ukrainian fascist salute “Heroiam Slava!!” to cheer a news item on Ukrainian hackers fighting Russians.
Because the PropOrNot blacklist of American journalist “traitors” is anonymous, and the Washington Post front-page article protects their anonymity, we can only speculate on their identity with what little information they’ve given us. And that little bit of information reveals only a Ukrainian ultranationalist thread—the salute, the same obsessively violent paranoia towards Russia, and towards journalists, who in the eyes of Ukrainian nationalists have always been dupes and stooges, if not outright collaborators, of Russian evil.
One of the key media sources who blamed the DNC hacks on Russia, ramping up fears of crypto-Putinist infiltration, is a Ukrainian-American lobbyist working for the DNC. She is Alexandra Chalupa—described as the head of the Democratic National Committee’s opposition research on Russia and on Trump, and founder and president of the Ukrainian lobby group “US United With Ukraine Coalition”, which lobbied hard to pass a 2014 bill increasing loans and military aid to Ukraine, imposing sanctions on Russians, and tightly aligning US and Ukraine geostrategic interests. ”

About the “Russia did it” meme:
I have had a couple of discussions on Facebook about this, and I am appalled. Why? Because my interlocutors — intelligent but misinformed people — are unable to make an argument for their positions, and that is frightening. They think that Russia wants war, and nothing will sway their opinion, and frankly I’m scared.
I read a lot about “how people don’t trust the MSM anymore” but believe me, a lot of people still do. In fact, they are still the majority, and they are ready to go with their emotions, the more exciting the better (“war!”). I fear the worst.
“I read a lot about ‘how people don’t trust the MSM anymore’ but believe me, a lot of people still do. In fact, they are still the majority, and they are ready to go with their emotions /…/ “
That’s my experience too, but most of these people shouldn’t be pandered to anyway. To them, their own all-out cretinism is a sign of higher morale. They take pride in flatly rejecting anything but Zionazi propaganda narratives. Whenever I myself come across suchlike ardent believers in the just cause of George Soros and the noble commitment to truth in the Ziomedia, I resort to thinly veiled contempt and ridicule. That usually leaves these contemptible folks dumbfounded.

Alex Jones announces that Trump is going to ally with Russia, Japan and Thailand against China.
As you know, Alex Jones of infowars.com and https://www.youtube.com/user/RonGibsonCF has been named by Hillary, Obama and Trump as one of the major News Sources which swung the election Trump’s way.
Alex talks with Trump regularly along with Roger Stone.
Recently, Alex Jones on his television show – four hours per day – after talking directly with Trump, announced that Trump was going to ally with Russia, Japan and Thailand against China.
Already he has acknowledged Taiwan.
Japan has already announced 50 billion dollar investment with USA.
Putin is very pleased with Trump and his Secretary of State pick.
Already the propaganda – Fake News – drums are beating (Alex Jones says Fake News is terminology created by China where censorship is an artform, where every website is authorised, where anything not authorised by the Satanic generals in charge of anti democratic unelected Communist Commisars is cause for imprisonment in institutions where prisoners are eviscerated and organs sold to rich satanic oligarchs.)
Alex Jones says Fake Globalism is not real Globalism but rather Satanic Elites from 1850 decided to control the planet using socialism and fascism as the dialectic to create a Huxley Brave New World Totalitarianism where a rich elite controls a poverty stricken (Austerity) population created by Fake Climate change and Fake Carbon Taxes.
Rather than making everyone rich, Globalism is designed to shut down Europe and USA by high taxes and to move production to Satanic Totalitarian Communist China where they execute yearly 10,000 religious minorities by eviscerating them and selling their organs to Oligarchs. It’s not to make the slave population of China Rich in their suicide net factories, but to make Europe and USA Poor!! And Trump is the antidote to that Program.
Trump himself says the Paris climate accords are not fair as the restrictions on Europe and America are far more stringent than on China – not fair!! Globalism is designed to shut down Europe and USA by high taxes.
Trump himself says the Free Trade rules are not fair. They are slanted in China’s favour. Globalism is designed to shut down Europe and USA by high taxes.
Trump will change that if he is not assassinated first by heart attack or his plane blowing up.
Ever notice the constant interruptions? Alex Jones does not shut up long enough to allow his guests to talk. Please ignore the frenzied silly talk about Freemasons, UFOs, Jews, and reptilians, and you will be fine. However, satanism among the Anglo-American elites and in the Vatican might have some truth to it……….
The deep state would be stupid to have the USA start a hot war with China. They prefer to encourage other countries to kill off their own populations.

Don’t waste words with a deranged troll. The imbecilities are a dead give away to recognition.
While we’re talking of moving chess pieces in the Asia-Pacific region, there’s this: the Chinese Navy is visiting the Canadian Pacific Coast for the first time since 2006.
(See press release for more: http://news.gc.ca/ – I’m having trouble linking to the specific release.)
“Dec. 13 – Three ships from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army (Navy) (PLA(N)) arrived in Victoria today for a scheduled port visit. The ships will be at anchor outside Esquimalt Harbour for the next two days after which the ships will come alongside at Ogden Point from December 15-19.”
I just love the bouncy sing-songy style as they explain the intention of this visit:
“Foreign Navy vessels routinely visit Canada, helping to strengthen cooperation, goodwill and trust. … Canada and China have a defence relationship based on senior-level dialogue as well as discussions and cooperation on defence issues including Humanitarian Assistance and Disaster Response, peace support operations, and military education.”

This is just a non sense joke, exaggerating the starting point, a bit of fantastic realism, to come to an unexpected conclusion.
(I hope it was pretty wordy, detailed, to logically explain the plot of the joke … maybe if it had been a good joke, I would not need an explanation .. lol)
Again, sorry if it was an inconvenient intervention.
“I think that people of Latin culture (Spaniards, Italians, South Americans) would perceive the joke faster. It is common to do a little joking with each other…”
Not true for a moment, in Latin cultures nobody with a hint of education would make such a joke to a person who he knows of nothing, as it is the case. In any case would be a joke to be made among close friends.
Please, do not generalize your ease of rudeness and tendence to be impolite at first shot towards unknown people to the rest of Latin cultures.

pay attention:
(John Kaminski article)
“This is not the America you thought you knew. It is an international crime syndicate wholly run by Zionists.
World history shows that when Zionists rule, criminals run free and the innocent are raped and plundered.
Forced into silence, the people are ordered to shackle their minds and disregard their own common sense.
It happened long ago in a place called Russia, where they made anti-Semitism a capital offense and butchered a hundred million people.
Russians didn’t do that to themselves; shipped in from New York City.
A new bill just approved by the U.S. Senate mandates new prohibitions on how Jews can be mentioned in public utterances as well as news stories. According to the bill, any attempt to connect Israel or Jews to 9/11, or, notably, to “exaggerated” Holocaust claims, will now be regarded as anti-Semitism and punishable by law.
S. 10, the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2016,” was introduced and adopted by the U.S. Senate in a single day and without discussion on December 1.
This bill ends all pretense that Americans still possess their Constitutionally guaranteed freedom of speech.
If this bill is signed into law, you may no longer disagree with the government, and you will wind up in jail for doing so. This is already the situation in France – it is a crime to disagree with the government. And it’s even worse in Germany, where defending yourself is a crime unto itself, especially when dealing in matters of the Holocaust.
All of America’s allies are now lockstep totalitarian states. The Zionists have imposed their artificial reality on the whole world. They fund both sides of every argument in order to reap the profits of conflict, the single biggest moneymaker in human society.”

(Richard Edmondson article)
The latest assault on BDS and the Palestine solidarity movement seems to have arrived in the form of S.10, known as the “Anti-Semitism Awareness Act of 2016,” a bill that was introduced into–and adopted by–the US Senate all in one day and without discussion, on December 1.
You can track the bill here. It’s aim is to provide a “definition of anti-Semitism” for purpose of enforcing anti-discrimination in education programs and activities. Basically it seeks to codify, or put into law, a definition of anti-Semitism that was put forth by the State Department in 2010, one which cites efforts to “delegitimize” Israel as an example of “contemporary” anti-Semitism.

“En una acción que incrementa notablemente la capacidad del Departamento de Educación para investigar a los estudiantes que critiquen a Israel en las universidades, el Senado de EEUU ha aprobado El Acta de Consciencia sobre el Antisemitismo.
Los senadores Bob Casey (Demócrata por Pensilvania) y Tim Scott (Republicano por Carolina del Sur) presentaron el proyecto justificándolo en el creciente número de “crímenes de odio motivados por la religión” y advirtiendo que el Departamento de Educación necesitaba adoptar “acciones urgentes” para investigar todos los crímenes “antisemitas” en los centros educativos.
Sin embargo, esto sólo era una fachada. La mayoría de los crímenes de odio motivados por la religión en EEUU afectan a los musulmanes. Sin embargo, ninguna medida legal ha sido adoptada para protegerlos, ni dentro de esta ley ni en otra.”

“They [Zionists] fund both sides of every argument in order to reap the profits of conflict, the single biggest moneymaker in human society. ”
That is one of the “secrets” of their success to become the Masters of the Universe. Let’s be frank and blunt about it: they dominate politically and financially all the “Western” world plus a big influence in Russia as well. So, they have a strong footprint in both camps, as they did before in Weimar Germany, USSR (Menshevik and Bolshevik) and still do in USA (Democrat and Republican). Whichever side wins the Jew is a winner.
@ bcwsc
James Petras devastating article on the Jewish dominance of the USA’s levers of power is a stunning indictment to the so called “democratic” ideal where a tiny minority ot its population controls foreign affairs, treasure, economy, war and justice plus many plants in other positions of power including the Congress, to advance the interests of a foreign power, Israel.
It is also a damning denunciation of the miserable collaboration by the American elites with the Zionist takeover of the USA government, economy, finances and mass media. It’s a complete sell-out. There is still a consolation though, they let the Americans elect a figure-head president, black or white, rep or dem, it makes no difference.

In the new academic year Harvard students will study the behavior of Russian dissidents. Among the subjects of the study — writer Alexander Solzhenitsyn, actively speaking out in the Soviet Union against the government, as well as Pussy Riot punk band, which became famous in 2012 due to the scandalous action at the Cathedral of Christ the Savior in Moscow. The new course was prepared by the Department of Slavic languages and literature. The announcement was posted on Harvard’s official website.

Indeed, brainwashing goes on and gets honed in the high cloisters of the finishing school for the elite: the masters of power and privilege.
Pacifica aired an amazing exposé on Harvard, by one of her graduates. Its horrifying really, a criminal outfit. No way I would send my child there. Also Catherine Austin Fitts has a lot to say about how HUD funds were spent to benefit the Harvard Endowment and other investors, rather than provide decent housing to blacks in Chicago area. This information deserves wider publication or viewing.
Not to say they are all assholes, I have some very decent friends who graduated from that institution.
Any chance you could post a brief summary of the Pacifica revelations Robin?
I just read a small article at Russia Insider, about an individual I’ve actually never heard of. Louise Mensch.
Article starts like this:
“If you don’t know who Louise Mensch is, please stop reading this internet article and instead go for a nice walk in the forest, or have a picnic, or do something equally innocent and pleasant. You have yet to be forever cursed by the knowledge of Louise Mensch’s existence. Enjoy life.”

@ Eimar
The article is a bit overdone but it reveals a new trend in police priorities. Recently I caught a team of local government workers on my land cutting down a tree with a chain saw and I took some pictures before confronting them. It was a criminal action and I lodged a complaint with the police. The first thing they said to me was that taking pictures without consent was an offence and I could not rely on the photos as evidence of wrongdoing! I hired a lawyer to prosecute the trespassers but the costs of running a case in the criminal courts plus the danger of having to pay the other side’s costs if unsuccessful were enough to dissuade me from going any further. Where is justice in this Orwellian world?
Wonder how they square that with CCTV, not to mention the mass surveillance program violating human privacy on an unprecedented scale?
Of course they don’t.
Like you say, Orwellian.
All hail the heroes of Aleppo!!!!!!!!
Not only is a large and very experienced force now free for operations, the terrorists know there can be no victory now. This will sap their morale, while international sponsors will be looking for better investments for their petrodollars.
This victory is for the Syrian people, well deserved. It is their duty to defend their land, so no need to thank them. To the Russian people though, my heartfelt gratitude; how great it must feel to be on the right side of History. You can sit back in your chairs today and feel the love flowing in from all over the world. I’ll lift a vodka tonight at my daughter’s high school graduation in your honour. And for the Syrians; another people who can hold their heads up as resisters along with the Iraqis and Vietnamese. I envy you, and love you.
Ditto.
I was amazed today at the extent of positive views of Assad, Putin and the successful liberation of Aleppo, at, of all places, Breitbart.
The Breitbart commentariat is riddled with Hasbara, who provide a persistent ‘evil dictator’ meme on Assad and, to a degree Putin.
Yet the overwhelming commentary to the article – a negative spin on the Russian offensive – was supportive, many openly thanking Putin for intervening in Syria, and many defending Assad from Hasbara smears.
So though Breitbart is a Zionist rag, that has coopted the ‘Trump revolution’, the commentariat is far from toeing the Zionist line on foreign policy.
Even otherwise ‘right-wing’ Reaganites decried the carnage in Syria and demanded war crimes charges agsinst the plotters.
Also very big anti-CIA mood…
Rags like the Guardian stopped allowing comments on articles on Syria, Russia, Yemen etc about 3 years ago for the very same reason, the overwhelming disagreement with the official narrative below the line. (BTL) Some very articulate and knowledgeable dissenting commenters were posting links to more truthful accounts.
Comments are currently only allowed on selected fluff pieces, safe trivia–it became so glaringly obvious what was afoot. The Telegraph (Tory paper of record) no longer even allows that.
The immensely wealthy trust that runs the Guardian is haemorrhaging money now and is reduced to begging for funds on every article. Couldn’t happen to a better sell-out mouthpiece IMHO.
Re last para – couldn’t agree more, Helen.
I abandoned the Graun fully about eight years ago, after increasing suspicions it was effectively a ‘herder/gatekeeper’ rag.
As a little test, I submitted a brief article (they’d requested them on any topic from readers) on ‘media grooming’ re sexualization of children.
Totally ignored, and all comments (carefully worded to exclude ‘triggers’) were trashed as ‘non-compliant with community standards.’
After they published Peter Tatchell’s call to ‘teach’ elementary school children sodomy to ‘combat homophobia’ , I dropped it like the poisonous snake it really is.
I still keep an eye on it mainly for Martin Rowson’s fabulously intricate cartoons. I disagree with his political slant (mainstream social democrat) but admire his wonderful art of depicting our shoddy bunch of politicians.
No donations from me though.
If Facebook Twitter, Reddit and other satanic dominated companies run all the communications mediums, how are those who disagree to compete in the arena of ideas?
By creating new satanic platforms where every post is not rubbished by GCHQ and the good people flee. It’s a good business opportunity. And it’s already happening.
There’s not supposed to be competition in the arena of ideas, didn’t you know that? It’s supposed to be an infinite echo chamber where all the heads nod up and down at the same time in the same way and nobody ever says anything that challenges anyone’s preconceived notions.
Those that do must be exiled, ridiculed, and called racist, sexist, homophobic, Islamophobic, xenophobic, arachnophobic, hydrophobic, and anything else derogatory the echo chamber can come up with regardless of whether or not it actually applies.
Such is the mentality of the satanic in political discourse.
This is nothing new with satanists. Go back to the origins with Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, and so forth. Controlling thoughts and implementing groupthink has always been part and parcel of satanic ideology.
It preys upon the typical desire to “fit in” and not be left out of a crowd. That’s why every satanic government has always sought to ban certain types of speech — either legally or extra-legally — as part of its method for retaining power. The USSR did it to great effect for almost a century before it came crashing down.
Today’s “political correctness” and “Fake News” is nothing more than the same satanic ideology repackaged into something more aesthetically pleasing to the masses.
@ Anonymous
I generally agree with you but take issue with the singling out Marx and Lenin as the “original Satanists” and the century of applied Satanism in the USSR.
Why discrediting your otherwise sensible statements with such crude display of ignorance and bigotism? Neither Marx nor Lenin had anything to do with satanic cults, they were both materialists (man is the product of the material conditions of social life) and proposed an alternative economic system to free man from the “satanic forces of capitalist ideology” under which we all live as the sheeple you rail against.
You might be true about Trotsky, whose murky dealings with his tribal cronies from Wall St to his gun-running millionaire mentor, Alexander Parvus, suggest he was a cabal’s agent provocateur to derail Communism – which he consistently tried to do until he was unmasked and shown the door. Had he been dealt with in the same summary manner as his acolytes, perhaps we would have been saved from another of your gripes (Political Correctness and Cultural Marxism).
On Liberty
I should be celebrating the liberation of Aleppo and the defeat of the AngloZionist cabal ruling the “western world” but at the moment I need the comfort of the Café’s company and an audience for my ranting.
We all think we are members of a free society where basic human rights are protected: the right to life and liberty, due process of law, habeas corpus, etc. Of course, these basic rights don’t include the means to obtain life and liberty, due process, etc. because right to life subsumes the right to food, shelter, health care and even education, without which life itself would be unsustainable.
Most of us can and do float through life without much state interference in those basic human rights personally because we tend to avoid rocking the boat, fit in with the crowd, and are insensitive to the daily dramas that might affect the less unfortunate who get caught by the SYSTEM and whose story remains untold.
In my professional career I came across many of those who got caught and their experiences could be as traumatic as the stories we read from police states where some citizens lived in fear of the pre-dawn “knock on the door”. It does happen and there is very little one can do to get redress against the overreach of officialdom, from the police constable to the Kafkaesque public servant who has the power and the enjoyment to deny your right to some thing you are supposedly entitled. But this exercise of malevolent power extends beyond the state sphere and is commonly found among organizations wielding state-like dominance over the citizen such as utilities (water, power, telecommunications) in whose services one’s life or liberty might depend.
Years ago I got caught and detained at an airport at the start of a long-haul flight to attend a course in England. I presented my passport and the officer told me to wait while she made a call and two security men took me to a holding room where two men of “middle-east-appearance” (that’s the jargon they use) were in considerable distress.
About an hour later an officer came to see me and apologised for my detention “due to my name not being in their system”. By that time the plane had gone, lost the substantial fare and missed the course for which I had paid in advance. There was no legal remedy for the financial losses and severe inconvenience to my life, personally and professionally.
Last Friday I was fossicking in the garden when an ant jumped onto my gloved hand and stang my thumb, painful but no big deal. Last year I had been attacked several times without much drama apart from loss of movement for a few days due to swelling and pain. This time, 24 hours later, the swelling spread and a sinister rash went up my arm to the shoulder, felt dizzy and started slurring from a swollen tongue. I tried to call for help but my phone showed “no network” and had to walk to the next neighbour 400 metres away and he called the emergency services and an ambulance was sent to the rescue.
First thing Monday I went to the city (100km away) and found out my 2G phone had to be upgraded to 3G because the network had phased out 2G transmission (no notice given). So I bought a 3G phone, a credit voucher and went home to do the activating process, which took me 6 hours of toiling and at the end of the day got nowhere. The excuse was “inconsistencies in my identity verification process” and my SIM had been blocked. Mind you I gave them the details of required documents for identity checks.
So, I live in a remote area populated with deadly wildlife and have no means to call in an emergency or in the normal course of life only because THE SYSTEM ordained that the people should have no existence outside THE SYSTEM’s control under a massive surveillance apparatus and, if there is a glitch in the data banks, you suffer the consequences. And there is no legal leg to stand on because the legislative power of the state is so intrusive in our lives and the shackles getting tightened to the point where the proclaimed “liberty” becomes a faint memory from one’s childhood.

Thank you Anon for your very illuminating post.
What you articulate is the insidious ‘mission-creep’ of the technocracy.
We are in a world run by algorithms, and if we don’t ‘process’ smoothly, we are simply discarded.
This is paralleled in the state becoming effectively a corporate arm of the banking system, on which it depends for its power: globalism is the next level of imperialism, in which a massive world-wide ‘cull’ of humanity is the desired objective. I no longer underestimate the psychopathy at the levers of control…
Opting out of the system – in small ways at first, like abandoning TV, pointedly switching off the news, reducing travel, growing more of your own food etc I think helps to regain some measure of control/autonomy.
Consider setting up a data-base of ‘dangerous insects’ following your experience, with input from people in similar circumstances. Then research non- pharmacuetical remedies, and add to the data-base.
You can use the net to network, then print paper copies as back-up.

Deliberate acts of defiance, but is hard to escape their tentacles if you are in a remote location and depend on a car. Thought of getting a horse and cart though. But you need a phone for emergencies (e.g. broken leg or deadly snake bite, even an ant can kill you as I was told) and you can’t get one without proof of ID. The “funny” thing is that I gave the enemy a gift of over $200 and remain incommunicado! I hate the rentier elite and how they are embedded with the surveillance state.
I use a pre-pay mobile – no need for for an account.
But maybe you’ve got access problems on your location, and are using a landline?
I’m in a wondrous strange place in time and space. Poised between worlds. 4:30 am now. Slept 9 to 1. Up at 2. Finished packing for train trip, and then came here to say good-by for a few days. Four day ride by train up the west coast to Portland, then across the USA ceiling before dropping down to the heartland in Wisconsin.
Just walked outside. Full moon overhead. Roosters calling to each other. Owls hooting. Beautiful young woman sleeping in the hobbit house my son started and I finished. Communal sex shrine glimmering in the dew. Standing stones and dolmens all over. Peace circle of stones pointing to outline of lover resting on hill top. Woman’s triangle pointing to North Star. Woodhenge circle where lovers silently gather. Intersecting triangles of iron. Altar table with glass chalice. Greenhouse of sex art rising high. I said farewell to the living stones and wood and gave a chaste kiss to the centerpiece.
“Sweet Love, where are you tonight?” In a vineyard bower, no doubt about it. I heard the message loud and clear. This vineyard cafe and its buffet of emotional intelligence is the tip of the spear. Few views but high quality news.
Allow me to reflect on your comments, since this is a Reflection Zone, a microcosm of all. I don’t have that much time; need to catch that train.
I’m no Conrad Moricard or Henry Miller but perhaps am a Devil in Paradise, or rather Paradise in the Devil. Reminds me of my Esalen, Big Sur days and sex in the sea.
Babushka let the hair down with her Tarot link. I use tarot in a non-traditional way. I love the lady who drew the standard deck around 1900. Pamela Colman Smith moved in the art circles of the time, which included William Butler Yeats. I was once in his round castle tower when I lived in Ireland. I love Pamela–such a sweetheart. A few months ago I drew my own tarot deck of 78 cards, called Sex Tarot. I undressed sex the way it was meant to be, communally.
You know, language is a bag of tricks, far beyond Horus and the hours. I guess we call it psy-ops and information war now. I can believe and see with serendipity, chronicity and automaticity.
Yes, I’m weary of leary also. That character rode the Sex Repress to the Love Excess in a mantric repetition to the point of numbness. But now the breakout has become a breakthrough. The Bower Power walk in Ojai is moving from the gloom and doom of war to the communal carnal desire release into the political realm. We will stop war as such and no longer be baffled. The ancient paradise is coming to Missouri to show what real love and sex is. We are no bonobos or hobos riding the rails. We’re on a mission that all the airport detentions in the world cannot stop. We’ve got a system that no ant sting can derail.
I’m watching the clock. Got to drive to my son’s place, and he’ll drive me to the station. The Ojai maiden goes a courting for the Tomah chief. “Don’t it feel good when she’s comin’ after me?” Flag down that double E for me. Can you hear that Duquesne whistle blowing? I told you about the audio hallucination I had in the hospital where a train from another world passed me by three times in the night. “This ain’t a dream no more; this is the real thing.”
There’s a slow train comin’ and she’s comin’ after me, and this vineyard community. I heard it on the grapevine. When I was just a kid, those slow trains did come through our community. I remember jumping them, I think, or is it my imagination?
I love you. What else is there to say? Oh, a lot that has to unpack those simple words. I will unpack my suitcase like some kind of Pandora’s box; in the true meaning of pan-dora, all gifts, of which love is the chief. But who am I? Nothing really. All of us have to get the job done. It’s a communal sex community–remember? Oh sure, bafflements are just battlements to be surmounted. We’re not there yet but we’re getting there.
Two hours left before I leave here at my love bower in vulva valley, ojai, for my heartland home in tomah, sixty miles from my birthplace, Stevens Point. But I’ll be back and back on track for the trip back to the future, from our original condition past the current perdition to the lover rendition.
I leave you with a poem to lighten the war doom and gloom like an Aleppo high noon moon.
———-
The Weary of Leary Joyful Blues
Wonderful creative center
Through you newborns enter
Ideas, children, dreams
More to you than it seems
All things dual natured
Here are dually nurtured
Tensions build, lovers release
Mate for future’s new increase
Elements coordinated
Conditions agitated
Results propagated
From above energy runs down
Within love barriers come down
The lower opens to the higher
The lover welcomes with desire
Calm once again descends
Means having met their ends
Birds and bees, flowers and trees
Hills and valleys, oceans and seas
Move in cycles, heaving hoing
Groove in rhythms, sowing growing
————-
Parting is such sweet sorrow. In love there is no tomorrow. I’ll always be with you as you will be with me. One sweet harmony. Til we meet again, in this world without end, let us be friend to friend. I love you. There’s nothing else that I do.
6 am, Ojai (O High) California, under the full moon, 12/14/16–oh what harmony.
nobody is forced to reflect with you
with your madness living alone
and somebody else like cat lady blue
strips the meningless wealth to the bone
good neigbours in madness conceive
in clouds of mantras and and dreams
by shredding the collective conscious
for one’s one- in- eternity streams
good journey Denis and stay fit
for return and tell something of
the red fly-over world and give my
love to your people
Mundo
Dennis you are 11 years older but less worn out than I.
I have seeds of 2-3 poems, inspired by you, but you “planted” yours in mental mother earth, you horny devil, you….(just kidding!) before I could even send you off with a Bon Voyage poem of irony and mirth.
Mundo did a better job, so I’ll take my “give it a rest” advice to you and apply it to myself.
The drafts are saved. At least for local poetry group, if not international Café.
Bon Voyage! Since you’re on board it’s definitely
“Love Train”:

One Belt One Road!!
People all over the world, join in!
now in times of apocalyse

Bro 93 on December 13, 2016 · at 6:15 pm UTC
“Is there stuff from ancient Egypt and beyond, all around us, exerting conscious and unconscious influence, whether we like it or not?
Relative to other things that I either “know”, suspect, or believe, I pretty much know it to be so.
Although I also know that the urgencies of life’s material requirement or the apathy in people’s leisure hours, including my own, make the attention drift here and there, sometimes to return and follow up, and more often to fail to do so, despite fleeting intention to do so.”
All this “stuff from ancient Egypt is” cast into twelve by the old fathers, easy to discern, and everything falls into place.
I wouldn’t do it since 35 years if it were different couse your “drifting” is normal and a given by the element,
of which 4 only one is not drifting and one is shooting …
Food for reflection without any book-carrying.
You say
“Doubters of such esoterica: Without believing or disbelieving, consider whether you might have been acknowledging Horus, the Son of Osiris and Isis every time you use the word “hour” or “horizon”.”
without weighing the detail – the direction of your question deems me to be right … you are approaching very near to or even turn around within the unconcious hence unchangable pictures
which mankind has projected into the unconscious turning “waters above heaven” being reflected by the
Tao of things
or
zodiac the think machine from the orient, called “heaven”, reflected by deserts and rich soil, roads and rivers, by valleys and mountains, each with it’s animal, popping god or finally the universal tool of fairness of the great man called Libra, read love between two, in the zodiac.
And as I do not think anybody has to catch up with my 35 years daily zodiacal musings with each and every question of content
And I’m happy that we can be as neighbourly as near as respectfull with eachs truths and peacefull obsessions like we are around this mind expanding astro-poetical table
and a red Montepulchiano del Abbruzzo together with my wife will remind me of the sufferers to be connected with those to come appreciating the sacrifices of their generation. A very strong tradition as
spiritual child is born in the Syrian psyche with help of the Russian midwifes.
Invaluable step within a great civilisation in planetary scale “the spirit of syria”, peace be upon it.
Cheers to the invaluable brothers and sisters of man beyond time.
Mundano,
I am not versed in Astrology, it’s pseudo-science status put me off. But I am discovering that there is a lot of Egyptian wisdom in the Bible. Much of what we call Judeo-Christian is in fact Egyptian/Babylonian, with Greek philosophy rolled in with some Buddhism. Who these Jews are I don’t know.
Earthrise, I don’t believe or disbelieve astrology or Mundo’s offerings of it.
But neither do I believe “science”. I always thought the idea of oil being a fossil fuel from dead dinosaurs was an absurdity. And after reading OIL WARS by F William Engdahl I am near 100% convinced that he and I and Russian geologists are right! That its origins are 200Km deep in the earth’s crust, where nothing that ever lived could dive to…..creating a substance that tends to rise, not sink deeper.
I know that he and Teranam 13 are into it and find it inspiring and enlightening, and I find it mildly interesting and beautiful to read, the way they put it.
And this last comment by mundo gives me an even more intriguing way to view the subconscious aspect of the ancient past that is still with us.
Consider this: It is a tool (“it” being ancient mystery traditions, not just astrology) that the NWO enemy of humanity believes gives them a power differential over you and I.
Ergo, I want to know about such things at least to the degree of eliminating a big chunk of my unconsciousness regarding them, as is practical, in a generous but limited amount of time allotted to digging deeper.
And that’s why I am Bro 93. Because of Flight 93 being the key to de-occulting the ritualistic aspects of 911. Which I provide the short intro to here, in my follow up to Katherine’s comment on this fantastic article on collateral damage:
https://wikispooks.com/w/images/d/db/Collateral_Damage_-_part_1.pdf
THE best article on the non-symbolic nitty gritty of 911 as a caper by the thieves of the USSR, led by GHW BUSH I have yet to run across.
Sorry but I can’t find Katherine’s post. Read her article above and you won’t regret it. Before I printed out all 40 pages and read it I did a quick scan and I am patting myself on the back for the judgment that I made to print and read it ALL.
Then, what it does NOT cover, which gets back to all that Egyptian stuff you DON’T want to be oblivious to:

It is time for the annual gathering of 3 good friends. The poetess in the group has had a frightful year leaving her muse a bit battered and frayed so emboldened by the poeting here for the last few months, I made an offering to simple friendship ( Ioan–my mirror is the love I see in my friend’s eyes where I am reflected)
To the Simple Joy of Friendship
“Some years more than others our souls do try
this year its troubles are finally past
Do we now with friends sit to have a good cry?
knowing struggle and trauma never do last
So let blow in the new times with a loud cheerful blast
And to old, worn out sorrows bid a final bye-bye.”
I have a few more days to work on this…with Jupiter in Libra ( Venus) this year and my friend being a Taurus…. I think I will add some “breaking of bread, sharing repast etc”. that materiality which binds us from year to year at this time. And reminds us…like Jesus said…hmmm will have to ponder this well to be respectful.
Thanks for the reminder of this past year and of what is essential, the friendship. Yes, indeed, we’ve done a lot of poems and had many interesting discussions for which I am grateful to all participants of this blog. I’m grateful also for your friendship and passion, and for the patience you had and have, for all the poetry and prose which were abundant in this Cafe in the time which lays behind.
teranam13 : I love your poetry, many of them I have saved for posterity, I’m glad every time when I see you here or in other threads. I hope for your poetry will come, cause, as you said before, the muses are there on your mind and around, just waiting to be found. Sincerely, and with love, ioan.
Throughout the almost 8 years of his presidency the very sensitive and morally impeccable president has invited quite a few people to a party/social event in his backyard,
Here are just two of them (out of hundreds). All of them seem to be quite comfortable by the surroundings and atmosphere. I wonder why.?
Anyway, see for yourself. http://fotovision.no/GLP1/Gates_of_Hell_Faces_of_Evil.jpg

I am currently trying to make a Christmas Cake and I am asking everyone to give it a stir and make a wish.
That is what us Traditional English People Do..and The Saker has Labeled us English as Anglo-Zionists.
Us English are Not Zionists..We are Not Even Jewish..
Why Doesn’t The Saker Call Them Russian-Zionists or American-Zionists…
They have nothing to do with us English except you Russians chucked Them Out.
Why didn’t you send them to Siberia..We Don’t Want Your Cast Offs..
Stop Labeling Them English
Even William Shakespeare told them to Fck Off
Tony
Tony me old salt,
He is not calling us Zionists, he is labeling the two main factions of the Empire. Today this manifests itself as the Americans (Anglos), figureheaded by Trump, the Pentagon and the old establishment. And the Globalists (Zionists), figureheaded by Clinton/Bush, the CIA and banking/oil clans. But Old Blighty doesn’t get away scott-free. Jews from Venice, Portugal and Amsterdam married into the British aristocracy, giving us the original Anglo-Zionists. This is why I look forward to the Asian Century, this long progression has to come to an end.
Simple Question ..
Where do most of The Invaders of Palestine come from…The people who moved there in their Millions…
Most of them came from Russia and Eastern Europe and from The Territories to The South and East of Russia..
They have almost nothing whatsoever to do with us English though admittedly some people like Craig Murray (or his “Grandad”) drew some of the Borders…
I am not suggesting us British are Innocent – but us English are not Zionists…
The Irish, Welsh, Scottish and The Americans can speak for themselves…
Meanwhile I Think Two Girls are Brilliant.

@Tony,
I found that terminology a bit off-putting to begin with too–I was just a bit affronted as I have no problem with Jews at all, but here is the Saker on Anglo-Zionism, in his own words. He is absolutely correct and it is a neat and truthful way to describe the Empire:
/terminology/
And the creation of the state of Israel has everything to do with us Brits and our colonial ambitions, rather more than just re-drawing a few borders on a map:

You cannot meaningfully just summarize stuff like this. You have to follow it in detail, analyzing it (as in the first one).
This is already very interesting !
Talks-to-Cats ( love the handle – me too!)
The first link on the forensic examination planned by the Trumpters of the DOE was very interesting – kinda Putinesque. Literally an ‘intelligence-acquiring’ mission statement (which is a form of business anyway.)
A comment with reposting I think:
The DOE does not have congressional oversight, unlike other agencies. It’s Secretary answers only to the US President, which gives, and has given, it a lot of cover over the decades. Well, looks like the blanket is coming off. Publicly. Will we see the diddling that’s been going on under the sheets?
[I suspect, but don’t know, that one of the reasons it was set up (1977) to have no congressional oversight was because of the huge national security issue created by the oil embargo in 1973. The US military services worldwide (Navy, Air Force, Army) discovered that they only had fuel reserves of one day to max a week to sail the ships, fly the planes, and feed/move the troops. It caused an absolute panic at DOD and Sec State. They had not foreseen the problem. Oil became National Security Item #1. Commercial needs be damned, and it has remained thus ever since. Until then (previous admins) oil was left to the private sector to develop, control, and price.
And the objective became to use up every other country’s oil first, not our own. (For eg, the development of the Alaska Prudhoe Bay fields in the mid-70s was a military and national security decision to prevent Russia from using its new slant-drilling techniques and grabbing it.) Nixon’s taking us off the gold standard internationally in 1971 meant the USA could purchase oil from any country in the world for a keystroke (or the price of printing a $100: $0.07). That did two things: firmly established the USD as the reserve currency (all countries now needed USD to purchase energy needs from the Middle East). and two, set up refinery-building restrictions in 1979 that continue to this day.
I know this because of a private conversation in 1989 with retired James Schlesinger, the Secretary of Defense from 1973 to 1975 under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford, and the first Secretary of Energy under Jimmy Carter. He specifically used the term national security item #1, commercial the public’s needs be damned, he emphasized. The lack of congressional oversight and the ‘answerability to the Prez only’ allowed the DOE to act with Treasury in provisioning itself without congress butting its nose in, allowed siphoning of oil from other countries in a strategic way, and permitted the 10X price increase in oil then to hobble other countries’ economies.]
This is a repost of a comment by an Iraq vet on the changes the Obama admin made to the agreement with Maliki. I repost for what it reveals about ‘privatization’ and the military:
Well I had a repose prepared but the mods removed it would not allow video because it was not an off topic discussion. so this is what you get
Yes but the plan was also leasing a contingency force in with 10-15 k
troops because the Iraqi prime minister at the time said they could not
handle the mission and like I said in other posts Obama blew the Bush
agreement by changing the SOFA agreement to Nation building and when
Maliki came in he would not agree to it and the bush agree expired and
Obama had no choice but to pull out, he then used his campaign promise
as an excuse even in a NYT article in 2014 this was exposed (there enough videos on You Tube and other places for you to reference)
In one of the videos i wanted to point out
Obama changed the SOFA agreement to read that not just the military
forces but all contractors and subcontractors receive immunity from
GRAVE FELONIES from Iraqi law something never done before where U.S.
forces were stationed. also he wanted no Customs people from the Iraqi
Government at any airstrips controlled by the U.S. government or their
contractors or subcontractors also something not done in countries where
U.S. forces are stationed.
So Obama is not being honest and that is
one of the reasons why Maliki would not accept the SOFA and Obama used
the troop s staying as a bargaining chip which is why the bush agreement
expired. In the beginning Maliki was for the draw down of forces as long as Obama left a contingency force there to protect maliki and his regime. Until the Sofa Agreement fell apart with Obama’s Nation building.
Here is a link to an article where Obama outright lies

Just another reflection on Canada & US Naval activity in the Pacific.
So I was going through the Canadian Navy Twitter account and there are a few recent references to the partnership between US and Canada Navies:
1) from Canada’s ambassador to the US, David MacNaughton — “The Can-US Naval relationship is long-standing and vital to a healthy, stable Pacific region. Great to see it in action in San Diego.”
https://www.twitter.com/AmbMacNaughton/status/808513859191537664
2) This cool YouTube video is posted pumping up the Canada/US Naval relationship:
https://www.twitter.com/RCN_MRC/status/804338100184948736
3) A tweet from CF Operations — “Pacific partners: #HMCS Brandon sailed with @USCG Cutter PETREL in the eastern Pacific during #OpCARIBBE”
https://www.twitter.com/CFOperations/status/806577800790609920
From reading the Twitter account of Mr. Scott Humor, I’ve learned that a segment of the US military is supportive of Trump, in opposition to the attempt at a coup.
Paul Craig Roberts said, in a recent article, “There is circumstantial evidence that the Washington Post, the NY Times, and the rest of the presstitute media are part of a conspiracy with the oligarchs, the military/security complex, the Hillary Democrats, and the neoconized Republicans to shut down the dissident Internet alternative media and deny Donald Trump the presidency.”
I wonder if the US Navy (Pacific region, anyway) is part of the opposition to this conspiracy – with full support from the Canadian side (understandably). Solidarity against the coup!! No divide and conquer here! :-)
I don’t know. But in thinking of the possibility, I become concerned for the American side. Who may have to defy orders from the coup leaders. Maybe they have already. Perhaps they’re going to hang out in that aircraft carrier off the coast of Washington State/Oregon until January 20th.
“Doubly approved, in appreciation of your dry Canadian wit. – fk mod.”
Thanks, fk-mod. I think our other Canadian contributors excel in dry wit much more than me, but appreciate the comment!!
By the way, the aircraft carrier in question is the CVN-74 John C. Stennis. It’s the preferred choice, I guess, for attempting to provoke a major confrontation with certain Eurasian nations. I suppose if someone in the US Navy was going to act in defiance of the current US administration, being aboard this vessel while in defiance may be the best place to be??
