The lady with her yellow hat and red strap, maybe dressed in green with flowers as a lovely queen, what could be in her mind ? politics or love ? will she live forever, will she love forever ?
What is her mystery ?
The Spirit of Love (2)
Love is patient,
Love is kind,
Doesn’t envy, and doesn’t boast
It is humble
But not proud,
Seeking friendship is it’s most.
Keeps no record for the wrong
As a sign of being strong.
It does not dishonor others
Is not selfish,
Lives for brothers.
Can’t be angered easily,
Cause is patient and friendly.
Love does not delight in evil,
Nor does serve the ways of devil,
Love rejoices with the truth,
Gladly, with the brotherhood.
Love always hope, perseveres
Always trusts, protects and serves.
The love shall never have an end
Instead it is the strongest bend.
The prophecies will cease to be,
Then false prophets you’ll never see.
Science and knowledge, one day,
With all their bluster, will pass away.
Today, we know just parts of truth,
But then, the parts shall disappear,
Allowing us to to eat that fruit,
And we shall know the truth in clear.
Till then, Faith, Hope and Love remain,
But Love will be the greatest, yet again,
At the End, and at the New Begin
I say you, truly, Amin !
Demis Russos – When Forever has Gone : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mCmh6WHAwxU
Ioan: Thanks for setting the tone-poem!
but to the clip I say: apage
According to wikipedia : “Apage is an Ancient Greek word (ἄπαγε, Imperative of ἀπάγω, “lead away”) and means: In Ancient Greek an annoyed exclamation: Pack off!, Away with you! or as the phrase Ἄπαγε ἐς μακαρίαν ἐκποδῶν: Damn you!. In the Middle Ages it was used in exorcism — In the Catholic exorcism it is used nowadays, too.”
Which one is to be applied here ?
Maybe it is better said: agape or Agave if you are into the marguerita way to ecstasy. Let’s hear it for moon in Leo..!
Your poems have bite ioan. Those that walk in their own boots, like yourself, often have traveled different places and have different travel stains. But their owners are similar.
Hundreds of reporters had access to the Trump hoax dossier, but it seems that only Kurt Eichenwald of Newsweek used the material. Most of the allegations in the dossier are included in this article from November 4, 2016:
The material has now been reshuffled into a fresh attack:
The claim is bullshit! No declassified government documents were released. The Trump dossier was a private memo by a private company. Instead of confirming anything, it shows that the original article was a hoax. It is based almost exclusively on the Trump dossier, and it stands and falls with it. Eichenwald claimed that his sources were “Western Intelligence”. They were not. At best they were former Western Intelligence.
Comcast, McDonald’s, Facebook Lead America’s Most Hated Companies List
https://sputniknews.com/business/201701131049545347-most-hated-us-companies/
“Comcast, one of the largest broadcast, cable TV and internet service providers in the US, remains the country’s most hated company, a title it also earned in 2010 and 2014. Bank of America, Mylan, McDonald’s, Wells Fargo and Facebook are close behind in consumer castigation.”
With the exception of comcast, where the ubiquitous american fascist monopoly-corruption forces no choice, these companies can be easily boycotted and put out of business.
Just do it. It’s what I’ve been doing.
Ex MI6 Spy Who Compiled ‘Golden Showers’ Report Was FBI Source for FIFA Scandal
https://sputniknews.com/us/201701121049541502-trump-dossier-m16-spy-fifa/
“The man behind the unsubstantiated ‘Golden Showers’ report on President-elect Donald Trump’s supposed ties to Russia is a former officer in Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (MI6), and was the FBI’s source in the FIFA corruption scandal.
After leaving M16, Steele worked with the FBI, providing intelligence on the world soccer association’s ties to suspected Russian gangsters.
The connections.”
The zio-gays/Jew nazis really have it in for Russia.
the interesting connection with Litvinenko is especially interesting considering the skulduggery that has gone on there accusing VVP of “murdering” that person.Whole lotta scheming going on , all done by this 1 guy?????
This is nice!
Judge orders auction of FL sheriff’s sergeant’s property to cover shooting victim’s medical bills
https://www.rt.com/usa/373523-judge-auction-property-police-shooting-victim/
“Dontrell Stephens was shot and paralyzed by then-Deputy Adam Lin in September 2013 when Lin mistook Stephens’ cell phone for a gun. Stephens, now 23, had been stopped for riding his bicycle into traffic.
In February 2016, a jury awarded him $23.1 million, finding the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office and now-Sergeant Lin civilly liable. The amount was eventually lowered to $22.4 million, but Stephens has yet to receive a nickel, as the state legislature must approve any payouts over $200,000.
On Saturday, Lin unexpectedly began paying for Stephens’ medical bills when a court order was delivered to and swiftly acted upon at Lin’s residence. The order allowed the confiscation of nearly all of Lin’s property, including “his car, couch, coffee tables, end tables, lamps, his collection of Samurai swords, flatscreen TV, iron, ironing board, computer, golf clubs, bicycle, tools, and almost all of his non-Sheriff’s Office clothing,” the Sun-Sentinel reported based on statements from Stephens’ attorney.
After reading the court order, Lin was shaking before he fainted and collapsed, Jack Scarola, Stephens’ attorney, told the newspaper. The lawyer said Lin was revived by paramedics at the scene, as movers took his things out of his home and into a moving truck.
“I don’t think we took any shoes and I don’t think we took any underwear,” Jack Scarola said, but added, “shirts and pants and shorts are all gone, jackets.”
Now that is how to do it. :D
Guccifer 2.0 accuses US of ‘falsifying evidence,’ denies Russian links

“I’d like to make it clear enough that these accusations are unfounded. I have totally no relation to the Russian government. I’d like to tell you once again I was acting in accordance with my personal political views and beliefs,” the Guccifer 2.0 blog read.
“I already explained at The Future of Cyber Security Europe conference that took place in London in last September, I had used a different way to breach into the DNC network. I found a vulnerability in the NGP VAN software installed in the DNC system.”
IMF’s latest statistics based of GDP-PPP
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_GDP_(PPP)_per_capita
NOTE: using a PPP basis is arguably more useful when comparing generalized differences in living standards between nations because PPP takes into account the relative cost of living and the inflation rates of the countries, rather than using only exchange rates, which may distort the real differences in income. This is why GDP (PPP) per capita is often considered one of the indicators of a country’s standard of living, although this can be problematic because GDP per capita is not a measure of personal income.
Where do we found Ukraine? At 116. Higher GDP-PPP per capita countries above Ukraine where eg.
94 Peru 13019
95 Mongolia 12161
96 Egypt 12137
98 Albania 11861
99 Namibia 11756
100 Indonesia 11699
101 Tunisia 11657
104 Sri Lanka 11189
105 Jordan 11125
106 Ecuador 11037
107 Bosnia and Herzegovina 11034
108 Georgia 10100
109 Swaziland 9768
110 Paraguay 9354
111 Fiji 9353
112 Jamaica 8974
113 El Salvador 8914
114 Armenia 8881
115 Morocco 8360
We must of course be little bit skeptical with those numbers but surely something very terrible is happening to Ukraine. That nation and society near total disaster and final collapse.
I posted this on the last cafe blog and should have waited a few hours.
Hope you don’t mind if I post again. I would like some guidance or recommended reading..
I have just read the book Controversy of zion by Douglas Reed. I’m not sure if the recommendation came from this blog but I’m guessing it did.
Whoever recommended it, many thanks. What a story!
Written from 1953-1956 by a famous, though blacklisted, journalist of the era it tells the tale of the Jewish people and the influence this sect has had on our common history.
The warnings he sounds, amongst other more famous voices, have not been heeded.
The goals of zionism are all the nearer, all the clearer and even more unstoppable than in 1956 (i.e. the destruction of Nation states, the primacy of Israel and the jews and dominion over all mankind, achieved by revolution from below and corruption above setting classes against each other and nations against each other to their destructive conclusion).
He refers a number of times to The Protocols of Zion and their plans for the need of a 3rd world war. This wouldn’t trouble me except for the accuracy of its other proscriptions.
The understanding of nuclear power and mutually assured destruction was absent in 1905 when the protocols were written. Presumably this has saved us thus far from ww3.
I would like to know more about the Zionist influence in Russia after ww2 and the creation of Israel.
Finnair flight 666 to HEL on Friday 13
https://www.rt.com/business/373568-finnair-ay666-hel-flight/
“Finland’s national airline is not superstitious. Finnair flight AY666 took off from Copenhagen and flew to Helsinki on Friday the 13th. What’s more, the baggage code for Helsinki airport is HEL.”
Love the fiery quality that the (non-Americanized) citizens of Finland, Sweden, and Norway appear to posess, in abundance. (no wonder these areas received extra migrants and liberal elites!) Whenever a post neglects to include the proper reference to one of these countries, someone will quickly point it out, with others joining in to offer clarification, if needed. I’ve come to really enjoy those exchanges on this site.
So I’m not surprised that the Finns feel no terror from a few numerical digits, coinciding with a particular date on the calendar. Seems like a typical response!
It’s all a matter of consciousness. Including consciousness of both the conscious and the unconscious in oneself (the sub- conscious) and in others.
The unknown and fear of the unknown can cause disorder and chaos in low consciousness. But all sorcery, numerology, hocus pocus , etc is pretty much impotent in the face of highly conscious beings, I strongly suspect.

Is that an explanation in part for Russophobia hysteria one wonders, eg latest from Danish foreign minister re hacking and interference in elections…..or have all the eu defence ministers -there was a collective photo of these namby pambies some months ago looking like they would put their heads under the nearest pillow if a car even back fired-simply signed up to some NATO text alert system,for example one, could say our brave boy eu patriarchal Nato sponsored and supplied hopeful soldiers in Ukraine defending their democratic choices to leave Russia, have been sacrificed and killed by the ruskies, when it should read more truthfully the neo nazi’s in Ukraine persist in ignoring Minsk, keep bringing up armaments of all sorts and attempt to transgress the grey zone and attack Donbass(again) and civilians but get sent home in bodybags…..one wonders.
‘Newsroom Ran Out of Popcorn Watching’ C-SPAN “Hack” Hype – RT Editor-in-Chief
https://sputniknews.com/world/201701131049561729-rt-c-span-hacking-simonyan/
“C-SPAN itself has already said the feed interruption was an internal malfunction, but mainstream [media] are still going into hysterics saying we hacked them. Our newsroom ran out of popcorn watching this,” Simonyan told RIA Novosti.
Earlier on Friday, C-SPAN said in a statement that an internal routing error caused the incident.
“We don’t believe that we were hacked,” the statement read.”

What follows are some extracts from a 1200 word article which was recently refused. At age 55, in 2005, I entered university to study ancient history, with three mechanical trades and more behind me. Incredible as it may sound the construction of the Great Pyramid was achieved with wooden machines having a mechanical advantage of 2.8 (MA = 2.8)
Ramps remain as world consensus theory as to Giza Pyramid construction. Wikipedia removed all of my references, but read almost any encyclopedia and read ramps, ramps, ramps, this way and that way. Journals such as National Geographic are no better. All a rampant comedy of errors or purposely presented to keep us dumbed down with fake history.
University students of ancient history are requested to quote historical documentation in their research assignments at every opportunity or receive a fail grade. Giza Pyramid construction has only one official historical document penned by one person who is known as Herodo or Herodotus. He was a young Greek aristocrat living in Halicarnassus during the Persian occupation. He fled for his safety and took to adventure, asking questions and writing down the answers he was given. Herodotus: The Histories is the English language title of his writings. Herodotus headed for Egypt on a merchant ship to escape Persian occupiers who had murdered a man, a poet and friend of Herodotus.
On arrival at the Giza Plateau around 450 BC, Herodotus saw the Pyramids for himself and records that he walked around the Great Pyramid. He asked the historian priesthood personally how the Pyramids had been built and the answer was that wooden machines had been utilized which raised Pyramid blocks step by step or level by level. The Great Pyramid had taken twenty years to construct. The priesthood were nobleman scribes who recorded local and regional history as part of their duties.
Models of the wooden machines exist and are in museums worldwide, known as “Petrie rockers”. The tomb models vary in size and range approximately from a third to a fifth of a full size machine. To understand and to explain how these machines operated I resorted to “rack and pinion” mechanics. Briefly the two hundred tiers plus which make up a Giza Pyramid result in more than two hundred steps which can be regarded as the teeth of a rack. There are four racks in a four sided square based Pyramid as built at Giza. The wooden machines are comprised of four composite lobes that when assembled become what I have termed a four lobed pinion pulley. The lobes wrap radially around a Pyramid block, one lobe per side. As the pulley with its load of a Pyramid block is hoisted by rope, a pulley lobe will positively engage with a Pyramid block, a step, previously laid down and now part of the Pyramid becomes a pivotal part in the hoisting process. In this manner the Pyramid under construction is being utilized to build the Pyramid from the base layer upward, layer by layer, to the point of completion at the capstone. Pulleys operated on all four sides of the Pyramid simultaneously placing one layer at a time. A new layer had to be leveled and visually sighted for perfection before another layer was added. The Great Pyramid is visually perfect.
Universities stipulate that when at least two independent historical documents converge to cover similar facts of an event, these will be deemed as proof the historical event took place. My work reveals Ezekiel’s chapter 1, verses 1-28 old testament documentation but this and the Herodotus documentation have nothing to do with me, so why shoot the messenger? Universities refuse to investigate my research results and the main stream media is not interested.
This story begs the question, what is university for then?
I like this, looks like it may work slightly better if the two ‘rocker-wheels’ ran in tracks with cross peices spaced to suit the ‘arcs’ especially where the courses vary in depth or if they cast the outside ‘stones’ as work proceeded. I still like Houdins idea for the first ramp though it eases what the first 2/3rds of the mass, plus I’ve seen some really skilled guys trying to get stone cladding or tiling all in one plane, never happens, but any plasterer worth his salt could cast the casings as concrete finished with a fine layer and rubbed down before first set to a plane ready for polishing. That would also help explain why they worked under the moon, to stop the sun drying it out too quick causing cracks. then just keep it shaded and damp until the polishing starts. https://www.geopolymer.org/archaeology/pyramids/
johnm33,
the nobleman priest scribes, based at Giza, as custodians of local and regional history informed Herodotus the Great Pyramid was constructed within twenty years. Consider any design of ramp to be a single lane B grade elevated road at best, with blocks moving one behind another in a linear queue. Should one block get bogged down, all following traffic stops.
Now consider forty pulleys, ten pulleys working each Pyramid face, all independent of each other, so one or two may have a problem but the major flow of hoisting continues unabated.
Consider forty pulleys are ready to go, each with a block of stone to hoist one block per hour per pulley. In one hour forty blocks have been hoisted, and in twenty four hours, nine hundred and sixty blocks have been hoisted.
For critical thinking make the comparison between a single lane elevated very long and perhaps winding road to a multi-lane highway for moving traffic and goods. The multi-lane highway uses the shortest distance between two points, straight up the side of a Pyramid with positive displacement.
Apply ‘Occam’s Razor’ for the simplest solution.
The blocks were quarried, split and raised.
The mortar slip used to slide blocks into position and plaster does contain human hair and other impurities. The quarries exist.
Historical documentation must be adhered to, or it’s a ‘free for all roundabout’ going nowhere with a combination of ‘fake history’ and ‘fake news’ masking the truth.
https://ramplesspyramidconstruction.wordpress.com/author/haitheory/
Please don’t post links without giving a background to the link’s value.I allowed it this time because the link contributes to the discussion. MOD
I don’t find the theories mutually exclusive in any way. In order to get the giant granite stones from river level up to the plateau some sort of causeway, or levelling/smoothing of the bedrock is called for, why not a ramp that makes best use of the contours? that meets the pyramid at the level those giant stones will be used?
http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-Dt-EIqhwGyQ/UxisXaO0-TI/AAAAAAAAflM/1-vv_GYQhck/s1600/Capture+d%E2%80%99e%CC%81cran+2014-03-06+a%CC%80+18.11.32.png
and if you decide on such a ramp why not raise it as the pyramid rises and make it out of stones that will be eventually used in the pyramid? Sure lots of the stones were quarry cut, and your idea for lifting them makes perfect sense, but why not reuse the quarry waste too? Break it down and cast reconstituted blocks, this would not be new, the temples in malta were long thought to be based on bedrock until someone came along to show that they were formed with a ‘primitive’ concrete, and that was 8,000 years ago.
On another tack a fan of Velikovsky dug a little peice of wood out from a joint between some of the stones, it proved to be lebanese cedar and carbon dated to about 2100 bce. Was it from the center or the outside of the trunk? Nobody was importing wood residues from the Lebanon so how long would it take for that bit of wood to be harvested used and re-used and make it’s way down the ‘foodchain’ till it ends up as mortar?
I read these Giza pyramid construction comments with interest and think I get the gist of the engineering ideas.
I wonder if any of you 3 have given thought to the largest known stone blocks in the world at Baalbek, in Lebanon.
I mentioned seeing them in 1957 at age 7, in Lebanon.
Here:
/the-911-truth-movement-15-years-later-where-do-we-stand/comment-page-2/#comment-276361
Commenter Mahmood Saadi, evidently a Lebanese, offers a solution provided by the museum at the entrance to Baalbek. In Spanish, unfortunately. But I read and speak Spanish.
What it says is that as the huge block were quarried and material cut out from underneath of them, cedar logs were placed under the short part sticking into air unsupported except by the rigid mass of the rest of the block. Then, after the entire block was supported by logs underneath, dozens of winches with pulleys using geared mechanical advantage were attached and pulled the blocks (one is 1100 tons, reportedly) into place.
Graham Hancock casts doubt on that explanation saying:
1. The logs would be crushed into pulp by that mass of stone.
2. Unless the dozens of winches were perfectly coordinated the force applied to them would not move the block, but instead rip the winch anchors out of the ground.
Have any of you any thoughts on the trilithons of Baalbek??
The Norwegian writer and explorer, Thor Heyerdahl, also talked about the mystery of the lifting and transportation of weight – The Statues of Easter Island –
All I can think of is the mystery of it all, and especially the blue seas and the sun on Easter Island and sun bathing, and finally Ozymandias. This is the cafe isn’t it? – I’ll get my coat after including the poets well worn words of Ozymandias . . .
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
PB Shelley
The topic is Giza Pyramid construction and two independent historical documents which converge to provide evidence of the construction method.
The earliest document is dated c.590 BC and the latest dated c.450 BC.
These two documents are the keys to understanding.
I urge readers to stay on topic and to read these documents, then we can have an intelligent and very focused discussion on the topic.
You are delusional if you believe the Deep State fears the second amendment. The ongoing militarization of the police forces, the National Guard, the Homeland Security apparatus and, ultimately, the Pentagon, will make sure the amendment is nothing else other than a historical curiosity. The US is well past the stage of a feasible populist rebellion and there have been many examples to prove it from MacArthur’s charge against the Bonus Army, Kent University and more recently Waco.
Have any of you any thoughts on the trilithons of Baalbek??
Note well the geometric shape.
Blocks are long uniform square section (pinion pulley).
We see one such block has been placed directly upon another and note their height relationship to the ground and smaller blocks beneath (stepping?). With substantial pulley lobes fitted the block could be rolled and stepped up using smaller blocks for positive displacement engagement. Smaller blocks placed adjacent for stepping and then removed. If the lobed pulleys are hoisted using shadufs (cranes) with a mechanical advantage of two the combined mechanical advantage is 5.6 (MA=5.6)
Lobed pulley MA=2.8 multiplied by Shaduf MA=2 is MA=5.6 and this combination is termed ‘Complex Machinery’ or a ‘Complex Machine’.
Two or more simple machines combined result in a complex machine.
So, a one thousand ton block can be moved with an input equivalent to 170 tons.
Shadufs would require weighting to prevent toppling over (stone blocks?).
We all share your anguish in understanding this particular feat of engineering.
Giza Pyramids are mere toys by comparison.

Reference: Pharaoh Sneferu imported forty shiploads of Lebanese Cedar into Egypt as recorded on the “Palermo Stone”.
Sneferu was Khufu’s father. The Great Pyramid is Khufu’s.
Forty shiploads equates to six thousand tons of Lebanese Cedar.
Paul Hai
I’m going to have to save your explanation for moving the stones at Balbec, give myself a chance to digest it, and to understand the terminology, i’ve read some other ideas before but never been convinced yet.[Not that my opinion matters a hoot] Yes they imported Cedar, my point was it was very valuable [smells wonderful] and was re-used often before it ended up in mortar, so l’m doubting the accepted date of construction.
Have you ever compared the 4th and 15th dynasties? This is worth a look, J.A. West wrote about the water erosion around the sphinx quarry and that demands an explanation too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1y8N0ePuF8
If you look up the work of Dr. Robert Schoch Geologist with a major in Anthropology, you will see he has provided the explanation for the water erosion pattern around the Sphinx, and has re-dated it pretty thoroughly. He used not only the rock erosion on the surface but sub-surface sound wave analysis. It’s pretty well conclusive if you follow evidence. ModPS
johnm33, regarding the ‘Balbec stones’ my ‘explanation’ is a small offering of engineering calculations of mechanical advantage normally used at a planning stage. The stones which are placed one above the other I would be first checking with sonar resonance apparatus linked to a computer looking for a large man made hollow cavity within the blocks or one which has been filled with ‘concrete’ after placing. We must not assume the placed blocks are solid throughout.
If the stones prove to be solid then we can think progressively. There is talk of rollers being crushed by the 1,100 ton stone, but we assume the load is 1,100 tons … but what if the load has been eased off considerably by a series of shadufs positioned on both sides of the stone. There are notches cut into the stone (linkage points?). Consider the load was reduced to a point where the rollers would not be crushed and be useful.
I have to state categorically there were no ramps on the Giza Plateau for the purpose of raising Pyramid blocks to their required levels. Trust me and you will come to a firm, undeniable understanding in due course. Presently you are confused with a lot of instilled ‘overly enthusiastic ideas’ of varying degrees of irrelevance so you need to focus on the topic for a starting point as indeed everyone should. Reading the historical documents is paramount for accessing the reality, so read them!
johnm33 you wrote, “so l’m doubting the accepted date of construction.”
Pharaoh Sneferu imported Lebanese cedar c. 2700 BC.
The Great Pyramid is dated c.2650 BC.
The fragment of cedar in the mortar is carbon dated to around 2100 BC.
Carbon dating is not accurate, and as an estimate is close enough.
Pharaoh Sneferu, (Khufu’s father), states (Palermo Stone) the cedar is to be used for temple construction.
In the Chinese language the Great Pyramid directly translates as Dà (大 = great), jīn (金 = gold), zì (字 = cap), tǎ (塔 = temple). 大金字塔 … Dàjīnzìtǎ.
The Great Pyramid was built as part of a walled in “temple complex” as most Pyramids were.
Six thousand tons of Lebanese Cedar imported for temple construction. (… are ‘bells ringing’?)
Now we should focus on the construction method utilizing this Lebanese Cedar.
PH
“Six thousand tons of Lebanese Cedar imported for temple construction. (… are ‘bells ringing’?)”
Measured by weight? They had giant scales that could handle tree trunks? And they used modern weight measures?
Wood was, and still mostly is, measured by length…
Cargo shipments each of 150 tons capacity.

On a similar note, I have never found a naturalistic account for the origin of life– for what that’s worth– that seemed halfway plausible, that passed my internal smell test, until I stumbled upon Thomas Gold’s Deep Hot Biosphere which also makes a convincing case for the abiogenic origin of the earth’s hydrocarbons. I never liked the argument, “We’re here, so obviously evolution, prebiotic soup, natural selection etc. happened.”
Another book that I appreciate is Seraphim Rose’s Genesis, Creation, and Early Man which deals with the spiritual and philosophical implications of “evolutionism.” Both books are highly recommended.

Ex-president of my country sounds almost like a conspiracy theorist ;) I personally despise this guy, how he let the country wealth to be looted by ex-aparatchiks in the so called “privatisation”. And many more sins are in his bag.
I have no idea, whether his motivations or ideology are behind his sometimes “bold words”. But it’s funny to hear anti-globalist statements from former (current?) insider. Or he was all the time just a stupid puppet, who got somehow smarter on the way and having nothing to loose politically, he switched the sides. God knows…

I am not denying Global Warming – and I am not impressed.
When I was a kid growing up in Oldham – we got loads of snow – Nearly Every Year.
I was O.K. on the slippy curry and sledge but crap on my push bike…
but when I was 16 on my birthday – my older brother gave me his motorbike BSA250
I now had 2 wheels and an engine and two feet that I could put down on the snow and solid ice…
And the snow above Oldham – in The Moors above Saddleworth in The Pennines was Amazing
I would be following the snow plough on my motorbike and the snow on the sides of the country roads was so high – built up with the help of the tractor – snow plough was so high – that it was nearly curling over the top – as if I was travelling through a brilliantly lit snow tunnel…
Now we get this nonsense
The snowflakes said its cold
“MORE snow is forecast for London’s rush hour this morning with roads across Britain made death traps by MINUS NINE freeze and North Sea resorts warned killer floods will hit within hours”
Soft Southern Softies and you idiots in London and Washington want to go to war with The Russians???

Well Tony, here in the colonies, Southwest corner (Left Coast) we are finally getting our share of precipitation (nearly a trillion gallons, from the sky) but except for high ridges, no snow.
I was thinking you might do something like Ray McGovern did here (Intelligence Professionals for Sanity or whatever he calls it….) over there in the “Mother Country” of the AZ Empire. After all, we all know we colonials are just the “dumb giant” on a British leash, when all is said and done. British Brains/American Brawn, and all of that, you know.
Ray now has the ex-head of the NSA on his team and tomorrow there will be a you tube interview posted some time on Sunday where Ray breaks down this whole insane BuzzFeed nonsense, that came from one of your bloke’s (ex-MI6 agent Steele), now working in the private sector.
Meanwhile a guy I actually met and talked to for about an hour, a very promising Bay Area youngster named Michael Steger breaks down the fact that when it comes to Empire those German invaders with their Venetian Party roots who have been ruling you are the brains, and over here across the pond, we are mostly a bunch of dimwits, when it comes to Empire:

You see, if the colonies plus Russia and China team up for peace and development around the One Belt One Road Win-Win Win idea the down-trodden English can finally ditch Lizzy and Charlie and their brood. But they aren’t going down without a fight. Help us out over there!
” Well Tony, here in the colonies, Southwest corner (Left Coast) ”
Some historical corrections are due. California was a Spanish colony (not British) and later stolen from Mexico – like about 1/2 of the present US territory.
True. However the British did make some effort at the Northwest. Where the Spanish also made a very early attempt. Straits of Juan De Fuca, etc. Even Valdez and Cordoba, in Alaska,
And also an effort at indirectly controlling Mexico itself through tacit support for the French puppet, Maximilian, can be considered an effort of the British Empire “Grand Chessboard” of geo-politics.
Eventually they gave up on armed attempts and concentrated on economic and cultural subversion of all of the Americas. Quite successfully, I might add. That is, until they could co-opt the economic and miltary power of the USA itself through a “special relationship” after the McKinley assassination, and deploy force through us in alliance with an imperial faction within us.
What I was aiming at was not all these nuances of past history, however, but rather the fact that Britain is the foreign power meddling in US Elections TODAY, not Russia. Steele and Buzzfeed, most currently. I’ll try to make that point in the Cafe that opened today, and put the McGovern interview over there.
Obama Extends Anti-Russian Sanctions
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201701141049581789-obama-extends-russia-sanctions/
“Obama ordered to extend for one more year punitive measures against Russia imposed in March.”
The zio-gays stage at least one new attack every day against Russia.
Interesting piece from PCR:
Ten Aircraft Carriers Aligned in a Row. Is the “Deep State” Planning a False Flag?
http://www.globalresearch.ca/ten-aircraft-carriers-aligned-in-a-row-is-the-deep-state-planning-a-false-flag/5568192
Especially interesting is this part:
“According to what I have been told by former(?) intelligence officers, the aircraft carriers are in dock so that their copper wiring can be replaced by fiber optics. Apparently, the Russians have the capability to shut down the operating systems of our ships and aircraft that are copper wired. In behalf of this conclusion, there were news reports that a missile ship Washington sent to impress the Russian naval base in Crimea had all its systems shut down by the overflight of one Russian jet. According to another news report, two Israeli US jet fighters were sent to express disobdience to Russia’s controlled airspace in Syria. The Russians asked the Israelis to leave, and when they did not, the Russians shut down the fire control and communication systems of their aircraft.
According to what I have been told, the Russians discovered that copper wiring permits them to disrupt the operating systems with certain radar frequencies built into their air control systems.”
I don’t know what the Russian military has, but surely they have much more, pretty much more than they showed to the world. They surely will keep that for the eventuality of a real war.
Duma votes to restrict foreign ownership in online video services
https://www.rt.com/politics/373562-duma-votes-to-restrict-foreign/
“The Russian lower house has given the first nod to a bill that limits foreign stakes in online video services to 20 percent and bans them from running political ads. The bill, however, only applies to video-on-demand sites and not to sharing services such as YouTube.”
Earlier, they also passed similar legislation to limit foreign ownership of media.
“At the very beginning of 2016, Russia introduced a law that sets the maximum foreign stake in Russian mass media companies at 20 percent. The same law also banned foreigners (including residents without citizenship and Russians who have citizenship of other nations) from being founders of Russian mass media companies. Exceptions are allowed for media derived from state-level international treaties, like Mir television, which was founded jointly by several CIS nations.”
Israel Strikes Airport near Damascus in the early hours of Jan. 13th.
At the end of December, Netanyahu and Putin had an extraordinary number of phone calls: Dec. 21, Dec. 23, Dec. 25, and Dec. 31.
So I assumed I’d see an entry on President Putin’s website of another conversation between the two leaders. Not this time. This time, Putin has a meeting with the permanent Security Council members. Topics of discussion: spring landscaping on the Kremlin grounds (groan, bad joke), OK the real topics were preparations for talks in Astana, and “They also exchanged views on the current Russian domestic, social and economic issues”
Does that indicate that some larger security-related action may be under consideration?
This is funny! The MSM and liberals are going to go crazy with this one. Donald just doesn’t give a f what anyone thinks or says.
“In His First Foreign Trip As President, Trump Plans To Meet With Putin In Reykjavik
Donald Trump and his advisers have told British officials their administration’s first foreign trip will be a summit with Russia’s Vladimir Putin in the capital of Iceland, the Sunday Times reported, a move that is certain to unleash even more domestic and foreign criticism of Trump’s alleged proximity to the Russian leader.”
Zerohedge.
Seems not…
http://theduran.com/london-times-reykjavik-summit-100-false/
US and Russian spokesman deny claims in London Times of planned upcoming summit between Trump and Putin in Reykjavik, say no plans for a summit exist.
Not sure why this would be a big deal anyway, but never trust anything you read in a western newspaper.
B
“Not sure why this would be a big deal anyway”
True, given Putin’s total control of the mind of his “Manhattan Candidate” trump, he could simply use telepathy to pass orders on to trump. No need to waste time and energy travelling 1000s of km for a meet. ;D
I am afraid that you may have unwittingly provided the next headline for a NYT Op-ed piece, which they will plagiarize from you and call you an ‘unnamed source.’
They have no sense of humor and they will throw anything into the CIANN reverse toilet drain, or to the BBC, as people in the US seem to be ‘onto’ their mass media.
American governments have no problem subsidizing billion dollar sports stadiums, but the circus? Not so much………..
America is dying. Goodbye, Ringling Brothers. Perhaps the Chinese or the Russians can buy up the circus assets:

Poking around the internet I see a lot of angst about how the inauguration will be disrupted, Trump won’t take office, etc.
Even if the Deep State pulls some kind of Lee Harvey Oswald BS out of their rear ends it appears there may be too many Americans turning off the MSM and turfing their TV sets to ever go back and lap up the mind control they have been under for decades. Which is a requirement for any cover-up to stick, AT ALL.
What do I base my cautious optimism on?
I base it on this interchange, where righteous anger is blended with right-brain activation in the poetic form of my beloved heroic couplet:
Commenter Bruce MacKinnon says:
“McCain has been funded and likely handled by Soros since 2001.”
Nemisis Warlock14 hours ago, answers BM:
“Correct he is a low life piece of shit
And has a face you just want to hit.”
So there you have it, Deadly Poets Society of the Vineyard Moveable Feast Café:
We’re winning!
At least it is expanding, with a poetic landing. Very nice.
Oh, I don’t want to go charging off ignoring anyone in a prior Cafe or thread, who asked a question of me. I often lack time and energy to follow up rigorously, without a pointer now and then that I have missed a direct question. Best place for a pointer is right after the last thing I posted, which would be this, or something like this, in the near future.
I just read where Kinterra did so, here: /moveable-feast-cafe-2017-01-09/#comment-311464 in the prior Cafe. And that question deserves an answer that goes deep into the subject matter, indeed!
Going deep, however, sometimes means a delay. In this case, I will wait for a posting by kinterra and answer kinterra’s question on the 911 hocus pocus THEN, when I am pretty darn sure kinterra will see it.
For right now, I think it is important for elsi and blue to get something about “the other West” that the Saker referenced there in Pindo Analysis that IS one indicator about Trump they may have considerable trouble grasping. Well, elsi, more than blue, I suspect. But who knows? I’m just guessing. Maybe she is armed for the resistance, after all!
The Second Amendment: Twenty-Seven Words Worth Fighting For.
But the effort is worth it. For now, kinterra, if you see this, it is just a partial tangential answer to your question (which I will answer, far more comprehensively, in due time……), in the form of:
“If a person has insight in one area that no one else in the world had , to my knowledge, it just might be worth paying a bit of attention to what that person says on a few other matters. Like the social engineering objective (“epi-eugenics”…the herd to cull itself) behind all the sexual identity craziness, or today, Mark Passio’s nice “Sacred Masculine” (the balls to use force to stop violent abrogation of one’s rights) measured, but intense talk in the process of “Field Stripping” and “Reassembly” of the “27 Words Worth Fighting For”, in the same way a firearms owner would “field strip” or disassemble his or her weapon in the field, clean, maintain and reassemble it. Except Mark will conduct this process on the words and concepts not on any arms per se, but on the 27 words themselves.
Although he does suggest at the end, that beyond the words:
“A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.”
he would have added 4 more: “Come and take it.”
which is how the presentation ends, with a still of him and his Kalashnikov, at a shooting range:
https://youtu.be/-VVhemTr47M?t=2469
Now, it is a far, far, more important indicator that Trump is against infringement of the right to bear arms than many may understand, quite yet.
If you don’t get it right now, maybe you will after the entire presentation:
https://youtu.be/-VVhemTr47M
In the sense that one thing that may keep the Donald alive long enough to derail the Empire’s War on Russia is the fact that a lot of Americans that may understand very little else, at least understand the Second Amendment. And this time around, at current levels of consciousness as opposed to Nov 1963, the Deep State knows that fact to be true, and it is a factor of restraint on what they would really, really like to do in the next few days, but just may calculate that they had better hold off on that sort of coup d’etat. For now. They are patient, not reckless.
But it will take vigilance and a rising tide of consciousness to keep the dark minds behind Nov 22 , 1963 and Sept 11, 2011 in sufficient fear and inaction, themselves.
You are delusional if you believe the Deep State fears the second amendment. The ongoing militarization of the police forces, the National Guard, the Homeland Security apparatus and, ultimately, the Pentagon, will make sure the amendment is nothing else other than a historical curiosity. The US is well past the stage of a feasible populist rebellion and there have been many examples to prove it from MacArthur’s charge against the Bonus Army, Kent University and more recently Waco.
I obviously meant 2001. Tired.
“You are delusional if you believe the Deep State fears the second amendment.”
OK look up Saker’s comment in the last week, where he asserted that plenty of people in his area of the country, I think he specifically referenced Florida and Georgia would fight certain things the Deep State might pull, with their lives .
Now let’s break down:
1. Did it ever occur to you that many members of these order following insitutions you are in such awe of are themselves, at all levels, including the command level, conflicted over what has occured and is occuring that has woken, far, far more of them up than in say the 20’s (Bonus Army) 1963, or Waco.
2. If you think reality and the Universe functions in such a supidly linear fashion, you understand absolutely nothing. Try watching the video. It’s only 41 minutes.
3. Oh also, if the Deep State laughs off the millions of guns in private hands in this country, why all the false flags to brainwash idiots into surrendering a right they are not even close to understanding?
4. I could go on and on, but pick a handle first, or you are not worth talking to, Anonymouse.
Close down this conversation. It is getting personal. Mod
I don’t know just what you are trying to get to or think I would have trouble grasping, but Passio is still ranting on condescendingly and largely unintelligibly. There is nothing unclear about the wording of 2nd amendment — just what the original meaning in context was and if or how it should be interpreted now (as a ‘living document).
http://www.lectlaw.com/files/gun01.htm is much more clear and more to the point than Passio.
I suggest that some practical points about the subject can be found in how Donbas brought together the hastily gathered fighters against Kiev into a ‘well regulated militia’.
As for hoping to match the weaponry and training of the well equipped US police state and military, with air power and drones, bombs, missiles, heavy equipment and armored vehicles, and all, in direct and open battle against them, forget about it. There is no point in playing into the enemy’s strength — and it would be only a small minority of people who would engage in such a way anyway. That’s massively losing strategy. Passio is nuts to even consider it. It will take a lot higher level of consciousness than knowing how to shoot at someone to fix this.
Fallacy of composition, blue. The talk is about the gradual encroachment and infringement of the right to bear arms, and why this is pushed by the Deep State, the NWO banksters.
A primary delusion is that here is no dissent among the order followers that make up these quasi standing armies. including various levels of command, and that all of them would obey orders to kill other Americans.
That ain’t necessarily so. The recent election should tell you that.
Another delusion is that it would be wise now to give up the Second amendment or water it down. That attitude does not communicate the proper spirit, at all.
Your Donbass point is a good point . So is the Crimea: The Way Back Home that I referenced in the Cafe. Passio would agree.
So why complain about someone that makes valid points on the issue, as if he would disagree with these examples over in the Russian world, when the fact is that he would not?
It’s like you just see red on the issue and ascribe recklessness that is in your imagination but that is not there, in fact, if you listen more carefully, and rein in your imagination and emotions a little bit.
Gaza Female Cancer Patients Begin Hunger Strike to Protest Israeli Treatment Ban
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201612231048903003-gaza-cancer-israel-ban/
“According to media reports and human watchdogs, the Israeli authorities have repeatedly prevented Gaza women suffering from cancer to leave the Palestinian territory for treatment, with over 100 such cases registered in 2016.”
I missed this story when it happened. What kind freaks would do that to their fellow human beings? The israelis continually prove their “human” status is nothing more than just a cover for creatures decidedly less than human.
We know that in 2013, the Shadow Regime of America, and the Regimes of Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are the Axis of Evil, wanted Syria to be invaded and they wanted to overthrow its Democratically Elected and Legitimate Government, using Slanders and Lies by Wrongly accusing the Innocent Syrian Government of having used chemical weapons, and after a few days of Investigating this False accusation, then All Americans Knew that the Legitimate and Democratically Elected Government of Syria was Innocent of this False allegation at http://www.globalresearch.ca/syria-un-mission-report-confirms-that-opposition-rebels-used-chemical-weapons-against-civilians-and-government-forces/5363139 .
It was the American Supported and Funded Terrorist Rebels who used chemical weapons, because Many of the Syrian Rebels, who go by the Euphemism of the Syrian Free Army are Not even Syrian Citizens, but they are Foreign Paid Mercenaries who used those chemical weapons, and that a few days ago, it was the same ISIS affiliated Terrorist Rebels who were Responsible for chemical weapons being in Syria, and the Anti Democratic Saudi Arabia Supplied those chemical weapons at http://ahtribune.com/world/north-africa-south-west-asia/syria-crisis/1456-saudi-king-chemical-weapons-syria.html .
Syria held their regular and Free and Fair Election, and the Syrian Government was reelected with 88 % of the Vote, and these Foreign Mercenaries, who are Funded and Armed by America, want to Impose Sharia Law on the People of Syria, and Many of those Terrorists are Not even Eligible to Vote, because they are Not Syrian Citizens, but they are Foreign Mercenaries, who are Murdering Syrian Civilians, along with damaging Syrian Property, and yet America and Israel and Saudi Arabia Deliberately Lie by saying that these Foreign Terrorists and Criminals are a Pro Democracy and a Pro Freedom Movement, and while that 88 % Vote for the Syrian President is high by Western standards, People Should do a Google Image Search for the term Syrian War, and then they Will Easily Understand that fighting the Evil Anti Democratic Terrorists who want to Deprive the Syrian People of their Freedom, their Land, and their Democracy was the Main Election Issue at that Election, and there were Credible Election Monitors who said that the Election was Free and Fair.
It was discovered that the Puppet Obama Administration had Maliciously Slandered the Innocent and Legitimate Syrian Government, and then the American Shadow Regime under the Guise of their Puppet Obama Administration came up with a new Evil Scheme, and they did that by Creating and Funding ISIS as their Proxy Secret Ally Army of the Axis of Evil which are the Shadow Regime of America, and the Regimes of Israel and Saudi Arabia, who are Responsible for Creating and Perpetrating the War and the Crimes against Humanity in Syria, and ISIS stands for the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria.
ISIS Pretends to be America’s Enemy and America Pretends to be the Enemy of ISIS, even as America Created and Funds its Proxy Secret Ally Army of Al Qaeda, who Pretends to be America’s Enemy at http://www.globalresearch.ca/fighting-al-qaeda-by-supporting-al-qaeda-in-syria-the-obama-administration-is-a-state-sponsor-of-terrorism/5339728 , and ISIS have been promised Syria, even as Al-Qaeda was promised and given Libya, and Libya had Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Religion, but did not have Elections, and today there is No Freedom of Speech, No Freedom of Religion, and No Elections in Libya with its American Installed Al Qaeda Sharia Law Regime, who were said by America and the so called American Liberal Press to be a Pro Democracy, and Pro Freedom Movement, but they have Imposed Sharia Law on Libya, and America and Everyone Knew that was going to happen, and there Could be some People who think that sometimes, there Could be some People who use the word Liberal as a Euphemism for Feral, and that there Could be some People who think that sometimes, there Could be some People who use the word Progressive as a Euphemism for Regressive, while they think that at other times that those words are used as they are understood by People.
There could be People who think that now that America has seen to it that ISIS is in Iraq and Syria, then they might think that America might then want to drive ISIS from Iraq and into Syria, so that ISIS can take over Syria, whose Capital City is Damascus.
Certain Despotic Regimes like the Shadow American Regime and the Israeli Regime and Saudi Arabian Wahhabi Regimes Hate Damascus, and the Bible tells us that Christians Acknowledge that Jesus is the Son of God.
The Jews do not have that as their doctrine, and we know that the Israeli Prime Minister is Jewish.
We All Know that Gravity and the Earth’s Magnetic Field are Real even though they are Invisible, and the Bible tells us that the Invisible Devil and his Invisible Demons will at times use People who Pretend to be Christians in order to try to accomplish their Evil Schemes.
“For there are certain men who crept in secretly, even those who were long ago written about for this condemnation: ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into indecency, and denying our only Master, God, and Lord, Jesus Christ” (Jude 4).
The Invisible Devil Hates Damascus, and he Hates there being any Christians in Damascus, which is the Capital City Syria, because that is where the Jewish Saul of Tarsus had an encounter with the Resurrected Jesus Christ.
It was on the road to Damascus that Saul of Tarsus had an encounter with the Resurrected Jesus Christ, and when Saul of Tarsus was in Damascus he became a Christian after Repenting of his Sins.
Saul then changed his name to Paul, and we know him as Saint Paul, and Christians Believe that Saint Paul was Inspired by God to write much of the New Testament.
There are People who were far too quick to believe the Incorrect stories they originally heard regarding who was responsible for using chemical weapons, and Honest and Decent People of Every Country are hoping that certain People Confess to what they said against the Innocent President of Syria, and that they Confess to their Crimes against the Innocent Syrian People, but certain People will not admit to that for the Obvious Reasons.
“You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies”(John 8:44).
Saint Paul wrote: “First to those in Damascus (Capital of Modern Day Syria), then to those in Jerusalem and in all Judea, and to the Gentiles also, I preached that they should repent and turn to God and prove their repentance by their deeds” (Acts 16:20).
People can follow what is going on with the Syrian People’s Defending themselves from Terrorists at https://southfront.org/ , and at http://theindicter.com/ , and http://www.globalresearch.ca/search?q=Syria&x=0&y=0 , and there are People wondering why War Criminals and Terrorists Lie, and Pretend to be honest and decent People, and Many People think that is explained Correctly with the following statement.
“And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds” (2 Corinthians 11:14, 15).
The following could Apply to those other than some of those of the former Corrupt Obama Administration, the Israeli Regime, and the Saudi Arabian Ruling Monarchy, and it is because they Know that the Invisible Devil has a Grudge against Damascus, that goes back to the days when Saint Paul was in Damascus.
“See what this godly sorrow has produced in you: what earnestness, what eagerness to clear yourselves, what indignation, what alarm, what longing, what concern, what readiness to see justice done. At every point you have proved yourselves to be innocent in this matter” (2 Corinthians 7:11).
The former Obama, and the current Netanyahu, and Saudi Arabian Regimes, Knew that their Illegal and Immoral War against the Innocent Democratic People of Syria is Totally based on Lies.
Israel has Unjustifiably attacked Syria while Syrians were celebrating Easter, and this is because Easter is the time when the Invisible Devil and the Invisible Demons are reminded of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.
