Can u recommend me some good Russians documentaries?
I’ve watched Soviet Storm and I think it is pretty good.
I haven’t watched that many, but really, really enjoyed this one:
https://youtu.be/t42-71RpRgI
Crimea: The Way Back Home with English subtitles
But where is the link to Soviet Storm?? I don’t remember watching that one, and many others might have missed it also.
I would also watch many more documentaries on Russia, if recommended here.
Soviet Storm
Soviet Storm: World War II: temporada 1: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=ELlzBS5WrPu4s
It’s available in YouTube.
One that’s is not on YouTube and you’ll have trouble to find is:
Cosmonauts: How Russia Won the Space Race (2014)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b04lcxms
Very good piece of work.
Thanks for the recommendations.
The Unknown Putin Part 1 and 2 with English subtitles – actually more about Russia coming back from the deep hole of 1990s:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIVX6Wx_bNg
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N8IY9jjWyAk
Also, an interesting episode:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHMZO2lyLQk
Please note, “The Unknown Putin” actually has 5 episodes. You have to type into YouTube to get them. They all have English subs. Watching all 5 is essential for a full picture of the hell the Americans unleashed on Russia – and the unbelievable catastrophe that V.V. Putin took onto his shoulders to try and repair.
what finally happened on Christmas? Did any of the US children went to the party?
This is typical of how the toxic sludge known as u.s. intelligence operates. They should not be called intelligence, but a state run protection racket.
US Intelligence Made ‘Attempt to Recruit’ Russian Diplomat
https://sputniknews.com/politics/201701161049648277-us-recruit-russian-diplomat/
“According to Zakharova, the diplomat was assigned to buy the expensive medication that cost $10,000 and was essential for Primakov’s treatment, after he received the corresponding money transfer from Russia.
The spokeswoman stressed that all formal requirements were fulfilled, including necessary health certificates and medical prescriptions.
But just as the diplomat was entering the pharmacy, he was approached by US intelligence officers who escorted him to the basement of the shop and “talked to him” for about an hour.
“The things they said to him resembled an attempt to recruit him, rather than any adequate discussion,” Zakharova said.
She also added that the intelligence officers tried to blackmail the diplomat by accusing him of illegal drug trafficking.
As a result, the medication was confiscated and the money was not returned. Although Zakharova noted that US Secretary of State John Kerry called the situation unacceptable and made every effort to deliver the medication to Russia, “it took a lot of time” and “it was too late,” Zakharova said.”
‘Illegal drug trafficking’.
Oh, the irony!
Excellent in-depth article on the role narcotics play in financing the war of terror, especially via Afghanistan:

Breaking: the israeloamericans are following up their air attack on Damascus with a new ground assault at Deir ez-Zor.
Daesh Terrorists Surround Deir ez-Zor Airbase in Syria – Reports
https://sputniknews.com/middleeast/201701161049650245-deir-ez-zor-base-daesh/
“Daesh terrorists have surrounded the Deir ez-Zor military airfield in Syria northeast, al-Mayadeen TV channel reported reported.”
If the S-400 is impenetrable then why were Israeli F-16s allowed to bomb the Damascus suburb with impunity? I thought Syrian airspace was supposed to be sealed off.
@ Dick Lenning:
“If the S-400 is impenetrable then why were Israeli F-16s allowed to bomb the Damascus suburb with impunity? I thought Syrian airspace was supposed to be sealed off.”
Oh, shoosh, you Mossad plant /end sac.
Don’t you know you’re not supposed to ask those awkward questions ‘round here?
And never mind about that random Israeli F16 episode, how about the fact that NATO (led mostly by the yanks, of course) are bombing the hell out of vital Syrian civilian infrastructure [water works / power grids / hospitals (etc) ], and have been doing so for some time now.
Meanwhile; even to this day, the western-lying-media are still airing hit-pieces about the horrific whole-sale destruction in revel-held areas of Aleppo (caused, according to them, by: you guessed it: The Russians! *eye-roll*)
Anyhoo…
The Russian media [in English language] are keeping-mum about this filthy little secret too. My best guess is that they’re keeping the Yanks’ war crimes in Syria quiet while crossing their fingers that the incoming Trump administration might put an end to the wanton destruction of Syria.
As I always say; I hope the Russian’s blind gamble is right, and my pessimistic guess is wrong.
We’ll see… we’ll see.
-TL2Q
We still do not know, what is the real attitude of VVP towards Israel. All the overlooked intrusions into Syria from the south. Looks weird…
The Russian – Israeli relations are “special”, as stated here earlier. I also wonder how far these relations they can go, without harming Russia. This is also part of the contradictions discussed below ?
“Special” indeed. But that’s as far as anyone has got here in this direction (and I don’t mean the usual Isra-Hell emotional screams…)
I consider each discussion here as full of contra dicere (“to speak against”), don’t you? ;)
I had an educational and productive time in Wisconsin and am now back here in California.
I have been catching up on the news here. Saker’s articles and the responses to them were particularly interesting. If I recall correctly, Saker used the word “kinetic” rather than “military” to describe the proportional relationships of war: 85% information, 15% finance and 5% military or kinetic. Even if I am incorrect on these figures, let it stand for the point I wish to make.
I think “kinetic” should be rated much higher, even 85% or more. Kinetic means energy in motion or energy as motion. The key word is energy which can be converted to several different forms.
By over-ranking information, we take the onus of war off ourselves and project it onto some kind of elite media. We end up ignoring what the masses of people like ourselves are doing to promote war unconsciously. Over millenia these actions produce a kinetic energy of vast power although it is subterranean. Parasites as they are, the elites feed off this energy which the masses provide.
I have identified what these underground forces are in my opinion in as plain an English as I can and through metaphors such as the Love Army and Bower (kinetic military and love power), and more recently in stories of Love and War. Since these kinds of kinetic energy are so hidden in plain sight, they are easily denied and dismissed, and so we have endless war which just morphs from one form to another.
Just for the record, let me reiterate these kinetic energies as I understand them. There are always at least two kinds: positive and negative.
1. Non-love or love thoughts.
2. Killing and eating animals and their products or eating vegan.
3. Keeping pets or keeping animals free.
4. Marrying as couples or in communities.
5. Taking interest on money or avoiding usury.
6. Using drugs or using love to change consciousness.
7. Pro-choice abortions or pro-life choice.
8. Contraception or natural birth control.
9. Prostitution or integration by love.
10. Pornography or personography.
Regarding the last two, we can say we don’t do that as a hardcore action while we do it as a softcore activity.
For me, these are the real “kinetic” or “military” forces of war which the majority of humans are doing to themselves, animals and the planet. Denials are all based on emotional feelings rather than rational argument.
As the latest attempts to character assassinate Trump show, when feelings of power trump reason, we produce war. If character assassination does not work, we know what to expect next.
As countries go, Russia is proving to have character. Yet, in the long run the kinetic forces I have identified, to the extent that they insinuate themselves into the Russian character, will undermine its military and cultural character.
I remain committed to “stopping the Empire’s war on Russia.” I have stated as clearly as I can within the constraints of brevity my method of doing this.
Metaphors, stories and poetry have their uses but remain subservient to plain old fashioned truth-telling in plain words. That has not been my training or conditioning because it was severely punished. What happened to Jesus is a cautionary tale.
I’ve got a couple more Love and War stories to tell but after that, I don’t know. It may be time to get down to brass tacks or focusing on essential details which always has to do with sex and love on the one hand and war and peace on the other, to make a long story short.
I noted with interest the discussion of Isis, Nephthys and Osiris and the 28 houses of the moon and the connection to ovulation and menstruation, the 28 vertebrae and lunar mansions and bull horns. There’s a drawing from 6000 years ago of a bull’s head that resembles the human uterus and fallopian tubes. (Rachel Pollack, The Body of the Goddess, p. 26). Our ancestors were better tuned into natural rhythms and facts than we are.
I have to start from where I am. I have to identify true love or care correctly if I ever hope to save myself from anything or to save the world from the Empire. The ten points listed above are where I start. They are the tools that can harness the kinetic energy into a focus for reform and return to what we are meant to be.
I was reading From Light Into Darkness, (sorry forgot the authors name…..its premise is that anti-deluvian….pre 9500 BC Egypt/Khetim was superior to post-deluvian Khetim in consciousness and technology…..that the sphinx may be tens of thousands of years old, etc, etc) when for the first time I felt some vague inkling of possible comprehension of the matriarchal/communal dynamic you’ve been driving some to distraction and vocal protest with. It was in regard to a gentler time in Old Egypt and discussed the reign of a particular queen before some dominator pharoah got a big hard-on for Empire and beating up on all of his neighbors, and enslaving them.
I wouldn’t be surprised if the neocons or the occult priesthood that run them worship that pharoah and have his thousands of years old playbook.
It also broke down the differences between Hebrews, (which the author asserted were African/Egyptian and not semitic ) The Israelites, (particular Semitic tribes of delimited to a smaller area, around Jerusalem, etc) and Jews, people who have a momotheistic faith originating in ancient Egypt and other places, who can be non-Hebrew and non-Israelite. Don’t hold me to ANY of this, but I can probably find the author’s name!
At roughly the same time the Australian astrologer Mundo inquired about was briefly discussed here. And that’s when the waxing and waning moon led to some cool esotericism that Prometeus may have missed?
This morning the 3/4 waning moon was low in the west when I went out at nearly 9 am. Pale but visible.
I don’t mind your ten dichotomies/opposites, but I still think you may have a loose branch high in your Tree of Life when it comes to # 4 Marrying as couples…… or in communities.
That’s because I am happily married, quite monogamous, loyal and dependable! I can also fix things and scare off intruders.
Also, I am mindful that sexual love-making only makes up about less than half a percent of one’s waking hours at my age, and I can’t see screwing up (pun intended) the other 99.5% of my waking hours looking for other women to roll around in the hay with.
The main thing I would add concerns you item # 1 which I would amend as :
1. Master-think or slave-think versus Courage/Will to Ascend = Love-think
which could be elaborated on in a long comment that may convert some who are Leery (also intended) of too soft a version, with many hard fights still ahead.
2,3, 5, 6, 7,8, 9, 10 I am pretty much good with, and will not quibble with, even though your absence has put me in an irritible mood during your long train ride home.
You are already having a moderating effect!
Welcome back, Dennis!
I second that welcoming back to Dennis ! I have almost wrote a poem with his travel with the train followed by the love bower, but now is not more the case. Instead, I have managed to translate and adapt a poem written by the famous Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu. It wasn’t an easy task, believe me, but I did my best :
Eve on the Hill
by Mihai Eminescu
( translated and adapted by ioan)
Evening, on the hill, lonely horn is lamenting
Climbing herds, shining stars, never ending
The waters cry, springing in wells so clear,
Under an acacia, you wait for me, my dear.
Moon, in the sky, passing so holy and steer,
And your eyes, searching for me in the near,
Stars, becoming humid on the serene vault,
Breast is longing, but mind is full of thoughts.
Flowing clouds, with rays splitting the rows,
Old eaves, which houses till the moon grows,
Wooden well creaks in wind, talking on untold,
In smoked valley, whistles song in the sheepfold.
Tired people wearing scythe on their shoulders,
Coming from field; gladly, resounding the bells,
Thanking at evening for a God blessed day,
My heart burns in love, my soul burns in pray.
Ah ! Soon the village shall set still in the valley,
Ah ! Soon my steps shall led to you, in a hurry,
Under acacia we’ll stay all night, and you’ll hear,
For hours; Ah ! How much I love you my dear.
We shall lean silently our heads on one another,
And with a happy smile, we shall sleep together,
Under the old acacia, where paradise is still alive,
Ah ! for such a night, who would not give his life ?
And, the same poem, by the Madrigal Chorus : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8stN1fkeCU
Lovely.
There is a side to the Deadly Poet Warriors Society that is Dearly Beloved by peaceful firelight, and none is better at it that ioan. Except maybe Dennis.
I hope that Dennis takes his agapic poetic effort as the truest welcome, forgives my pitiful one, and realizes that if I could get 80% agreement on anything from any group of people, I might just die and go to heaven!
Bro 93
Dear Bro, I can hardly find words to respond to your reply. Your words resound in my brain and heart, with the adding, that here are many wonderful people with great heart who are doing the same, each in his own way. One of them is you ! The wonder of this world is that we are different, and each person has a particular value to add to the entire, so we can grow together to a higher level of spirituality. But in the middle and between, there is a war, which we fight on many fronts.
check out the amazing etchings, paintings,works by Samuel Palmer c 1860 uk to see how such thoughts, emotions can be made visual, maybe, well I think so.
And having done some Romanian folk dancing, can understand how such cultural things help to keep a community together. There is a fameous Albanian dance where the group acts performs like an ancient plough, another where they reach up to take apples from a tree to celebrate harvest…etc etc….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MfdcOHE8Y3c
Thanks JJ ! wonderful paintings by Samuel Palmer, a true romantic with great love for nature. I love landscape paintings. The Albanian folk dance is also part of the greater Balkan dance structure, has many similarities with others in the region.
Well it’s Martin Luther King Day, so let’s have some music in the Café that really makes a more uplifting point I have for Anonymous and blue in the prior Café than I had time or energy for there:
“Oh Freedom”
Oh freedom,
Oh freedom,
Oh freedom over me
And before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free
No more weeping,
No more weeping,
No more weeping over me.
And before I’ll be a slave, I’ll be buried in my grave
And go home to my lord and be free
etc,…………..

I would address that low consciousness individual in the Congress, Lewis, from Georgia, and many others similarly manipulated today, in the same terms, of “slave think”. Regardless of skin color. In fact the white slaves out number all the rest.
„If you just walk long enough in the same direction, eventually you will find yourself again at the starting point.“
I’m surprised!
When I for the first time arrived here at this blog in 2014, at the height of the Ukraine crisis, I had already a “certain world view”. This world view was derived through studies of the religions and philosophies of humanity, while special emphasis was laid on the occult, esoteric and Gnostic branches of the different religions.
I introduced myself here in the first, very long post, writing about Atlantis, Plato and the hell knows what more… Only to realize very fast, that a “different game” is played here. Nevertheless I decided to stay and to learn the “game which is played” here. Meaning: sober analysis, facts, facts, facts, reliable sources. The “horizontal rock’n’roll”.
I wanted (and still want) to understand Putin, to understand “Putin’s Russia”, to be able to understand where this great Country is heading towards and to understand the implications for the world, for Europe, for Germany, for myself. So naturally I came across geopolitics, which wasn’t new to me but what’s new, is geopolitics from a Russian perspective. This led me organically to Alexander Dugin. How could that be different?
And then it got interesting, really interesting.
“The legend of Hyperborea”, is one of many of Dugin’s topics. Hyperborea? Wait! Where have I heard this before? Blavatsky. Yeah, of course. But where else? Ahh, the Vril & Thule Societies. The esoteric bases of Hitler and NSDAP.
Dugin & Putin.
(Karl) Haushofer & Hitler.
Maybe this is the reason, why some of the “western nomenclature” call Putin Hitler?
But I even more was surprised when I learned, that Dugin has some interest and sympathy for Aleister Crowly and that Dugin is even using for his books certain symbols of Crowleys magick.
Now I understand, why Dugin is described as a “rightwing occult fascist”.
Don’t misunderstand me:
I’m not disqualifying Putin or Dugin, I’m not scared of Crowley and to delve in the myths of Hyperborea isn’t a sign of being a “Nazi”! Quite the opposite!
I love contradictions! Contradictions?
Well, this one:
Alexander Dugin, Putin’s mastermind, the priest of coming Eurasia, an orthodox Christian and a student of Crowleys (The Beast himself) magick.
How this goes together?
Padavan of the 5. Veda
You say, you love contradictions, others hate contradictions, but we live in a world of contradictions. Can we avoid the contradictions ? we can make our own rules and create “islands” or “safe places” where contradictions don’t have a place. Does that mean that they don’t exist ? No. The reality is that the contradictions are there, here, everywhere, persistently. Blatant lies can cover them for a while but they cannot be rooted out definitely, the contradictions come to the surface again. So, we have to deal with them, the question is how ? At some level, the contradictions are in fact truths, and is a matter of personal knowledge to identify it as that. The controversy begins here, when different persons with different perceptions have different views. The most people are inclined to board the “safe places” – which means in clear words, a place where a subject of discussion is agreed upon as being “the truth”. That is superficiality and is not constructive if we want to know the whole truth. I love this blog because I can learn from a lot of intelligent people and therefore, please, ladies and gentlemen, feel free to think.
Dear Ioan,
Thank you for catching the element of contradictions and sharing your thoughts on this with us.
Two “streams of thoughts” came into my mind: the “profane contradiction”, to which I was referring in my post above and the “contradiction from a metaphysical perspective”.
With profane contradiction I refer to the simple fact: how can an orthodox Christian like Alexander Dugin be in tune with “the most evil man of the 20th century, the beast himself, 666”, like Crowley is often called? Crowley is being told to be a heroin and cocaine addict, he performed rituals with excrements, bodily fluids, blood and god knows what else. It is said, that without Crowley and his “work”, there would be no “drugs, sex & rock’n’roll culture”, so many movie and pop stars of the 60’s, 70’s & 80’s refer to Crowley as an inspirational force. Even to this day.
And we have discussed here and elsewhere very often, that one of the main reasons for the degeneracy of the so called “West” is our pop culture. So if this is so: may we call Crowley a (visible) architect of the western downfall? And may we call Dugin one of the (visible) architects of a coming Eurasia? Interesting connections! Or not?
And just right now, through the shivers of #pizzagate, we are again confronted with Crowley’s legacy, with dark catacombs where things happen, I don’t want to talk about and I even don’t want to imagine, so to not contaminate my and others consciousnesses.
So where’s the link to Dugin? How this goes together?
I don’t want to answer this on my own: the question is for those with interest! Interest in: is good really good? Is bad really bad? Which connection exists between good & bad? Light & darkness? The question is for those, who aren’t satisfied with easy explanations & models. For those who have doubts, that the world will be saved by Putin or Putin’s Russia or China or… For those who have the feeling, that the “real enemy” isn’t a country, isn’t a certain president or a certain ideology…
Regarding the “contradiction from a metaphysical perspective”:
What I call “metaphysical perspective”, is something which you can’t see with your eyes, something which isn’t perceivable with your senses at all. At least not with your six senses, which everybody of us has functioning in a healthy condition. It is something different, when we develop our 7th sense, with which we can transcend the duality:
Matthew 6:22: “…if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light.”
But even without a full developed and proper functioning pineal gland, we can acquire metaphysical knowledge to a certain degree through reasoning. Although this metaphysical knowledge which is gained by reasoning stays theoretical, stays an idea. Only through a developed sense, which is in tune and resonance with the “object to be observed”, we gain true Gnosis: personal experience!
So allow me to short-cut now a little bit:
“contradiction from a metaphysical perspective” is no contradiction at all!
If the source of everything is an almighty, loving and caring “being” called God, how can his/hers emanations be contradictions? Mustn’t we view them (the contradictions which aren’t one) permutations of the “source”?
So good & bad, light & darkness, day & night are no more contradictions in this light. They are permutations of the source. And the “source” isn’t the only link of these “seemingly contradictions”: these “seemingly contradictions” only “work” in tandem (together), they only make sense together, they only derive their meaning and characteristics from the opposite part.
If we let sink in this knowledge, we are able to view a lot of things which happen on a daily basis very, very differently…
Thank you again Ioan, for the inspiration to write these lines.
Prometeus, as you’ve cited from the Book, I will add some thought food – to the topic, hopefully ;)
Ps 139:12
“Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.”
Is 45:7
“I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.”
I think, the LORD said those things because he doesn’t like to see people just sitting idle and not think. Later, thinking leads to acting. But, thinking provokes many people to have headache and this leads to the incoming of the evil because people with problems on thinking, expose themselves to the evil, letting the latter to “solve” their thinking headache. The evil, offers them the “solution” as we know in the world today. When people will evolve to be spiritually more stronger, the evil will have less and less power over them. But, for now, he (the evil) is the “partner”.
Thinking is good, for sure. On the other hand, too much thinking could prevent you from any reasonable action.
I like triads. What about: Head (thinking), Heart (faith) & Hand (action)? ;)
Also, history offers us more than enough examples of thinking-evil-doers (SOBs, if you like). So, thinking alone does not lead to “salvation”, right?
Yes, as well as action without a right thinking could lead to failure. The thinking evil-doers, are exploiting exactly this. The higher spirituality means good thinking together with the interaction of our heart. That’s why the evil-doers are provoking chaos, to weaken the people who are “eligible” for this, which means : people who cannot think independently and search for the truths, instead they accept almost or all they have been told. The fear has also a huge power and role in all this, many people have self made censorship, not willing to search behind the veils.
Amen to that ;)
PS: I’m currently researching geocentric cosmology (which I tend to accept). The point is (as you stated above), when you are under the fear of being ridiculed etc., you will not even dare to open that door to explore the topic, challenge your own biases, cognitive dissonance and so on…
Cheers.
I assume that you have simply not read the letters correctly.
One name is ‘Putin’
The other name is ‘Dugin’.
They are somewhat different, both the names and the people.
Your erroneous conflation may be the cause of your dismay.
Just a little help from wikipedia : “Conflation happens when the identities of two or more individuals, concepts, or places, sharing some characteristics of one another, seem to be a single identity, and the differences appear to become lost.” Correct, Franz

President Obama’s Legacy: Broken Promises, Sanctimonious Pronouncements, Endless U.S War Crimes Against Humanity
http://www.globalresearch.ca/president-obamas-legacy-broken-promises-sanctimonious-pronouncements-endless-u-s-war-crimes-against-humanity/5568832
“Israel’s Machiavellian subversion of democratic principles is by no means restricted to the UK and is rampant not only throughout the Americas and Europe, but also to varying degrees in other continents. So while hypocritical Western legislators with yellow streaks down their backs continue to subserviently prostrate themselves before pro-Israel Jewish lobbies and sanctimoniously condemn the “hatred, hostility, prejudice, racism and intolerance” of those seeking justice for the Palestinian people, they — along with mainstream media whores — religiously avoid discussion of any negative aspects relating to Israel’s Apartheid crimes against humanity.
Such Israeli instigated censorship also works in concert with the hypocrisy of those who while wearing the mantle of pretentious moral superiority will nonetheless turn their backs on the reality of Israel’s Nazification as a Jewish state and its barbaric ethnic cleansing of Palestine.”
I did post the following comments and links on the Risks and Analysis thread by The Saker, and repeat it here with links.
“US Marines land in Norway, signaling departure from post-WW2 commitment to Russia””

Article on RT today, which I did feel an urge to comment on, since I live there.
Under the radar for most people I would suggest, is that the stock-pile of ammunition – Tanks – Light infantry supporting vehicles -gasoline/Diesel – food – clothing, and ALL other equipment necessary to keep 13.000 Marines going for a month (War-Scenario). is stock-piled in deep and well protected mountain caves at the same location.
Most of the equipment was renewed in 2014.

Kent
Kent, two possible explanations pop into my mind:
1) part of the MIC economical model based on expansion & tensions & local conflicts incl. further colonization of Europe
2) Big War is in the mind of the NATO/US planners
In any case, let’s enjoy today as tomorrow will bring its own challenges… ;)
Hope this link helps anyone interested in the transcript of Trump’s NYT interview, on which he declared NATO ‘obsolete’:

Interestingly, when asked about his meeting with Kissinger and Baker, he said he ‘respected’ them, but was not influenced by them.
Hope that’s true.
Got it. Thanks.
“Edited transcript” — so I wonder what they left out….
North Dakota seeks to outlaw masked rallies, allow driving over protesters
https://www.rt.com/usa/373866-bills-criminalize-protest-north-dakota/
“Among the bills, one would exempt drivers from liability if they unintentionally injure or kill a pedestrian obstructing traffic on a public road or highway.”
Like they would unintentionally “forget” to apply the brakes…a license to kill and injure is what this is.
“Another bill would make it a crime for an adult to wear face masks.”
What about wearing green on St. Pats, maybe the aipac trough feeders will outlaw that too?
That good ole pindo fascism. No wonder the country was such an easy mark for the zionazis to take it over.
Personally, when politicians knowingly push laws like this which are obviously unconstitutional, they should be immediately arrested, charged with and prosecuted for high treason. Because that is exactly what they are engaging in. Then dragged out and publicly hung.
Pin-Pointing the legacy of the error of Barack Obama at off-guardian
“As the eight-year term of America’s first black President draws to a close, the media are already in the process of myth-making. There’s room for an honest autopsy of a man who promised a new kind of world, and delivered merely warmed-over soundbites and a few fake tears.
“With Barack Obama’s exit the US is losing a saint.” writes Simon Jenkins in the Guardian, whilst Ann Perkins praises his “grace, decency and defence of democracy”. Lola Okolosie rhapsodises on his legacy of “warmth, love, resilience”. Already the storyline is set – Obama was a good man, who tried to do great things, but was undone by a Republican senate, and his own “sharp intelligence”.
These people, as much as anybody, reflect the cognitive dissonance of the modern press. “Liberals”, to use their own tortured self-descriptor, now assign the roles of good guy and bad guy based purely on aesthetics, convenience and fuel for their vanity. Actions and consequences are immaterial.”
For the sake of balance, here is a list of Saint Obama’s unique achievements:
Read on, quite an extensive list I would argue.

All Obama did was provide psycho-linguistic programming via teleprompter, since years before his election in 2008.
This was his “qualification” for such a sudden rise out of Chicago.
He was more capable in that regard than Killary. That’s all.
Both are cold-blooded killers, and venal to the core in the service of pure evil.
Much credit goes to the black Americans that voted for Trump. They (a significant minority) are getting more discerning. And sick and tired of the psycho-linguistic programming.
Unidentified Hackers Attempt to Disrupt Probe Into Park Geun-hye’s Scandal
https://sputniknews.com/asia/201701171049659438-park-geun-hye-prosecution-team-hack/
“Recently, prosecutors stepped up their related investigation into the heir of the giant Samsung group, Lee Jae-yong, on suspicion of involvement in quid-pro-quo dealings between Samsung and Choi-linked organizations.
According to a prosecution team official cited by the Korea Times, unknown hackers tried to conduct an attack through one of the prosecutors’ email accounts on Korea’s largest internet portal, Naver, but the attack was blocked before it caused any damage or leaked data
“It seems the hacker tried to extract information from the team’s intranet by gaining access to the prosecutor’s account and installing a malicious code in the laptop,” the official said, adding that the attack originated overseas and that it probably aimed at disrupting the probe into the corruption scandal.”

“Saudi Arabia’s top cleric calls vocal music and cinema ‘a depravity’”
At the end of article he writes this:
“On a lighter note, as the Grand Mufti has banned both singing and cinema, it makes me wonder why they are being so impractical. With all the money they’ll now save not having to bankroll the Clinton Foundation, they could invest into producing some great musicals and films.
For example, they could produce: The Phantom of the Server: A Hillary Tale, South Yemen Was Once Pacific, Terror-Cell, West Bank Side Story, My Chained Lady, Little Shop of OPEC, Hair (except on the body), King Salman Superstar…the list goes on.
Perhaps after seeing this list they’ll reconsider…but only if the oil price falls to $1.00 a barrel.”

Mexico needs to turn away from the US and look at China and Russia, Russia and China could benefit from this in many forms.
Mexico can hinder the US control of LATAM by denying the US access to Central América through Mexican territory, this will erode The US’s sphere of influence in LATAM. Mexico with China could join up and either place a big tariff on exports to the US, which they need form both or else their internal market would die in days, and thus their complete economy. Both countries can also threaten any company wanting to move their investments to the US with full closure of their industries in both countries, living the US unable to produce what it needs to satisfy it’s internal market, crippling the US economy in days, and give the EU with cheaper products from the created surplus.
That it will cost China and Mexico a lot, no doubt, but it will destroy the US economy for good. The US is in full economic warfare against Mexico and with the threat towards China, which will come eventually, so better do it fast and on our terms than slow and on theirs, which will make them be able to ramp up internal production and build the necessary infrastructure for such production. Or terms would be better.
Full economic warfare against Mexico? How many factories are actually moving from Mexico back to the USA. Trump’s threats and promises notwithstanding, why would the Deep State stop using Mexico as a low wage sweatshop and as a drug and human smuggling transit route.
Why would China be interested in importing manufactured goods from Mexico if the Chinese can finished products for themselves much cheaper. Mexico would have more credibility if the living standards in Mexico were raised to the point that no one would be interested in sneaking into the USA for work. When will the average Mexican be able to afford the products that foreign factories in Mexico (the maquiladora) produce?
‘Faulty records, inconsistent docs’: Lawyer of Russian skiers accused of doping slams McLaren report
https://www.rt.com/sport/373893-mclaren-report-inconsistent-lawyer/
“If you are familiar with the McLaren report… you know that different documents are available, which refer to the athletes. I compared all of them. And these documents are not consistent,” Christof Wieschemann, the lawyer, who defends two Russian skiers Evgeny Belov and Aleksandr Legkov, told RT.
“Evgeny Belov is mentioned for two competitions, in which he did not participate,”
The lawyer pointed out that Belov was not mentioned in several competitions, in which he did participate. According to Wieschemann, there are also “no less than ten faulty records in different [McLaren report’s] lists,” which refer to Aleksandr Legkov, a Sochi 2014 Olympic champion, who was also suspended over doping allegations.
Wieschemann also stressed that the inconsistencies he found are not some isolated single cases but a part of a larger flaw. “I do not think it is a minor error, it’s a big bug I found out,” he told RT.
“…weakness of the McLaren report is that he was not ordered to investigate directly single athletes. And he used documents he received from third parties,” he added, emphasising those documents are inaccurate in many aspects.
“If the reasons to suspend both athletes are not sufficient, it is unlawful and they are liable for damages,” Wieschemann said, referring to his clients Belov and Legkov.”
I hope they, and all the rest of the Russian athletes smeared by these crooks, will be compensated for the damages those criminals caused them.
Ray McGovern, co-founder of Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity gave an interview over the weekend that I promised to post. Well. it is over 2 hours, very in depth and anecdotal on many things in his long career, but I want to make it easier for people with limited time to go to specific time markings within the interview on selected topics most of interest to them, so I took notes on what he discusses at which points in time during the interview.
The interview was prompted by possibly the lowest point in US Intelligence services performance ever, the allowing of MI-6 ex-agent Steele to literally attempt a coup against the president elect, and idiots and British/Saudi agents like John Brennan co-operating with such interference with the Buzzfeed “Russians run Trump” nonsense Steele originated.

But where is the link to Soviet Storm?? I don’t remember watching that one, and many others might have missed it also.
I would also watch many more documentaries on Russia, if recommended here.
…
I watched Soviet Storm some years ago. It is really well made, just be sure to watch on Star media channel because narration is sometimes barely understandable in videos from other channels.
I can’t comment the accuracy of the content and would be interested in hearing an opinion. I will search Saker site if something is already there about Soviet Storm.

Search of Saker site showed a couple of comments with a lot of references and with interesting information. I hope it is ok to repost parts of them in a Cafe. The first comment from Sergey is a continuation of conversation about legendary Soviet intelligence lieutenant general Pavel Sudoplatov. It has many references to different documentaries and might be helpful for yours or someones quest. Here it is:

And there are a very great number of exceptionally interesting documentaries that are only in Russian. For instance.
Did you know that on the very threshold of World War II Britain and France decided to bomb the Soviet Union – specifically, the vast oil fields of the Caucasus – Baku in particular, to devastate Stalin’s oil industry? Bombing that would have burnt alive an incredible number of people in those fields. It was only Hitler’s conquest of France in June of 1940 that stopped the French participation. And yet, Britain’s bombers in Africa were just about to fly on their bombing of Baku, when Britain learned of Hitler’s invasion of USSR in June of 1941.
Just imagine: Hitler’s invasion of USSR renders British imminent bombing of USSR unnecessary!
The 2012 documentary “Черная кровь” (Black Blood) reveals this based on declassified secret diplomatic correspondence.

The second comment, also from Sergey:
[There is a very long excerpt from Russian wikipedia translated into English by Sergey in the original comment. Link to the original comment is below.]
The famous Soviet intelligence agent who immediately comes to mind is colonel Gevork Andreevich Vartanian (Геворк Андреевич Вартанян, 1924-2012; pseudonym “Amir” (Амир)), Hero of the Soviet Union, who is credited with preventing the elaborate Nazi triple assassination attempt on Stalin, Churchill and Roosevelt at the Tehran conference in November 1943.
When he died at the age of 87 in Moscow, Putin himself attended his funeral and paid respects to his widow: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3GYx1ocNuKo .
Incidentally, his wife, Goar Levonovna Vartanian (b. 1926), whom he married in 1946, was also a Soviet intelligence agent (since 1942). They worked throughout their careers as a highly efficient husband-wife intelligence team!
His professional biography, well documented in Russian wikipedia ( https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Вартанян,_Геворк_Андреевич ), reads as a true spy thriller!…
(Only a small portion of it all is in English wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gevork_Vartanian .)

P.S. Concerning Sudoplatov. Video in Russian: “Who are you, general Sudoplatov” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EBowdp6nEG8&nohtml . One of the many Russian videos about him – unfortunately all without English subtitles. As you know, Stalin died in March 1953, and it was five months later that Sudoplatov was arrested on the revisionist (and perhaps even Stalin’s murderer) Khrushchev’s directive and sentenced to spend the following 15 years in prison…)

/moveable-feast-cafe-2016-04-09/#comment-228654
You have gotten my attention Anonymous at 12:30 pm UTC and I have printed out your comment in order to follow up by watching the recommended links and documentaries.
In the 1990’s I read Pavel Sudoplatov’s SPECIAL TASKS Memoirs of an Unwanted Witness-A Soviet Spymaster.
I need to read it again. I just pulled it off my bookshelf and opened it to Page 104:
“Another result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was the takeover of Western Ukraine…..
In Lvov there was still a capitalist Western mode of life……………… The Ukrainian nationalist organizations, headed by the followers of Stepan Bandera were active, influential, and very strong….
Pg 107 “We sent the team of Captain Adamovich and Lieutenant William Fisher, aka Rudolf Abel, to Chernovtsy, near the border between Bukovina, Galicia and Polish territory occupied by the Germans.”
Only 3 days ago I watched the 2015 film Bridge of Spies.
One of the stars was Rudolf Abel, captured in NYC in 1957 and exchanged on one of the bridges between East and West Berlin, for Gary Powers.
I thought, “Oh, Martin from Soviet East Berlin would really enjoy this!” Especially when the Wall went up and the missiles shot down Powers’ U-2 spy plane over Siberria. LOL
Unforgettable was the courageous stoicism of Abel … stoiky muzhik ….. “man standing” after repeated beatings by German interogators was his term for his own stoicism. His American lawyer played by Tom Hanks asks numerous questions of his client such as:
“Aren’t you worried?” “Aren’t you afraid?”
The answer is always the same: “Would it help?”
You have immensely helped my request. Thank you.
A good film for the Book and Cinema Club Bistro, if it goes from idea to reality.
Great comment.
Really think the Saker should list such links separately, to aid people with an interest in Russia.
It would be a shame if they were ‘buried’ in the comments.
Moldovan President Hopes to Restore Strategic Partnership With Russia
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201701171049676905-putin-dodon-russia-moldova/
“We hope, the people of Moldova hope, that in 2017 we will start a new stage, and we will be able to restore the strategic partnership in key areas,” Dodon said at a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
During his election campaign, Dodon stressed the need to improve Chisinau’s relations with Moscow, especially in the economic sphere, and even suggested that once he becomes president Moldova would hold a referendum on whether the country should withdraw from the 2014 political and trade agreement with the European Union and instead join the Russia-led Eurasian Economic Union.”
If the zpc/nwo’s enforcer colony (usa) was still under the bush/clinton quisling regime, I would predict a “color revolution” coming to Moldova pronto. But with trump, who knows.
Reading your comment, the Kiev scenario comes in my mind, but as you say, now, with Trump, that scenario will not happen, and Moldova is not Ukraine.

Thanks for the welcome back. I can feel your love come pouring into me through the screen in front of me. I need it. I’ve been feeling that the Empire is attacking me personally in retaliation for what I’ve been posting.
I have bronchitis which I think I picked up at a hostel on the last leg of my journey. My rib is injured from the coughing. But that pales in comparison with the psychological and psychic attacks that come from within.
I don’t want to shift blame from myself or use the services of this site for my personal and selfish proclivities. I do want to know the truth and this community is part of that. The comments so far have been like light in the darkness, from the raw war facts to the probings of metaphysics. All very much appreciated.

All I know or ever seek to know is love. Bear with me as I try to unpack that four letter word with my ever so inadequate talent.
Love and War – Episode 16
Arthur and the Lodge
Arthur had come to the Lodge by a fortuitous accident. He had a lay-over in Dublin between jobs. He liked the life of a private contractor truck driver. It gave him time to read while waiting to be loaded and time off like now. He was in some kind of mid-life crisis, looking for meaning.
He met Sheila in a cafe pub quite by accident. They hit it off and spent three days together, fascinated by each other’s life story. Sheila told him of the Lodge. Arthur felt some long forgotten bell ring.
“Well, I am vegan. Do you think they’d give me an interview?, he queried.
“Lady would. I don’t know about Lord.”
“Lord and Lady? Is this Lodge a castle?” he responded.
“More of a Secret Garden for Lancelot and Guinevere,” she teased.
“Poor King Arthur and his broken Round Table.”
“Actually the table is rectangular.”
“Can it be turned into a bed fit for the Princess and the Pea,” he hinted mischievously.
Sheila deflected the flirt with raised eyebrows. “I’ll ask Lady about it. She’s the Queen behind the throne.”
“Are you Sleeping Beauty or Princess Leila?”
“I’ve been pricked by a needle but not kissed by a prince.”
“I’ve got a glass slipper I’d like for you to try on,” Arthur cooed.
“If it wasn’t a minute before midnight, I might be wooed,” she coyly demurred. “Hate to ride home in a pumpkin.”
“Or on a broomstick, Cinderella.”
“That’s why Lord insists princes and princesses do it in community.”
“I wouldn’t do it any other way as long as you were there.”
“It’s serious business, Arthur. It’s serious business,” she said in a changed tone.
“The IRA was serious business. I can take the heat.”
“That’s what Lancelot thought. You men are May when you woo and December when you do, as far as love goes.”
“You’ve thrown down a gauntlet, Sheila,” he said slowly as he held her gaze until she looked down.
She looked up again, “Watch out for Sheila-na-Gig.”
He didn’t even blink, “I think I’ve met her in person.”
“Lady Love will decide if you’re an Arthur or a Lancelot and fit for a Camelot.”
“Fair enough, Fairy Godmother,” he said with a smile.
Arthur’s father had been killed by British special forces in the Time of Troubles. His mother worked day and night to raise four children. Arthur became a rebel and an admirer of Michael Collins.
He had been a special forces paratrooper himself on the killing fields of the Mideast. He had a keen sense of the cruelty of war and the injustice of the world. That’s why he lit up when he learned that the Lodge was actually doing something about it, although asymmetrically.
“The Lodge Loonies might just be crazy like foxes,” he mused to himself.
His mind began connecting the dots of his past. Into the Mystic with Van Morrison. Black Magic Woman with Santana. Mother Machree and his own heartbroken mother. The rose of Sharon from paradise lost, the city of seven hills near the place of the cross.
The reverie went on and on. He recalled a long haul to Moscow and the Church of the Savior. So many memories and so little connection. What’s it all about? The Catholics and the Orthodox were both in the dark Middle Ages as far as he was concerned.
Suddenly he was snapped to attention at some buried pleasure. Wasn’t it in Moscow that he heard about Anastasia? Why did that name remind him of what they were doing at the Lodge?
Up to now war was the sexiest thing he could think of. “All is fair in love and war.” Arthur pondered what that could mean. Love and war went all the way? “Go ahead and make my day.” He thought of Sheila throwing down her gauntlet. He picked it up in his mind.
Lord Leary walked along a row of fence posts on a green grassy hill, swinging a hatchet in his right hand, imagining Brian Boru fighting the Vikings all alone in the early days. He thought of his father resisting the bloody English. He slammed the hatchet blade into the top of post after post.

Yes, methylene chloride is dangerous. and there is no substitute for gluing plexiglass, and for a few other things. I first used it some 40 years ago. Looked it up in Merke index to learn about it and use it safely, same as I do with any chemical I’m not familiar with. Warnings are also printed on containers.
I can’t count the number of dangerous things I’ve used over the years — some much more dangerous than this stuff. But you know, I a not completely dumb adult who can read. I can even drive a car, and put gasoline into it, I’ve used electric saws, and I can cook stuff in hot fat. I’ve even been known to cross the damn street without someone holding my hand!
So I need some fracking liberal busybody to protect and treat me like a little kid? I don’t think so. So here’s another reason I’m glad Trump is the new president, and the new administration and congress will put a leash on the EPA (and hopefully keep it restricted doing the things it’s actually supposed to do, like making sure businesses don’t poison the water supply, and stop infantilizing everyone).

It’s the Oligarchs after all who act as straight-out rabble-rousers, but this time around on US soil for a change. Well, people who sincerely believe in the ‘progressive thrust’ of a gun-toting, violent, and highly bloodthirsty US population (forever with the sacred Pindo Constitution on their side) would supposedly see this as the Oligarchs walking voluntarily right into the firing line. Take my word for it: Unless nasty Putin does something really “unconstitutional”, not one drop of Oligarch blood will be shed at ‘Pindo Maidan’.

Info is out that ‚as this internal US civil war is reaching its “maximum moment of crisis”, Trumpian forces have suffered two critical assassination casualties—Roger Stone, who has been acting as Trump’s strategic war leader, and Udo Ulfkotte, who this past year exposed the Central Intelligence Agencies (CIA) total control over all of the Western mainstream media. (…) Top German reporter Udo Ulfkotte who this past year shockingly revealed that all Western mainstream media is completely fake (“We all lie for the CIA”) and was banned from Facebook this past July for his exposing the plot behind Chancellor Angela Merkel’s flooding his nation with Islamic radicals, this report continues, had been summoned by President-elect Trump for a private meeting—but when he failed to make his Friday evening (13 January) flight to New York City, was shortly thereafter discovered dead in his home—and that German authorities promptly ruled was due to a heart attack, conducted no autopsy, and then quickly cremated his body.‘

Maybe some Germans are interested and probably know, that an anti-establishment German writer, Udo Ufkotte has died at 13 January 2017. He worked for kopp-verlag.de. Was only 57 years old.

Before publishing the next episode of Love and War, I want to make some preliminary remarks. As the title suggests, love is the only force strong enough to beat war at its own game. We don’t understand that because we’ve been blindsided by the lies of history which prevent us from taking herstory seriously. The lies today directed against Trump, Putin and Russia are nothing compared to the lies of his-story which set up the assassination of the love culture and its communal sex rites, as the present lies are setting up the assassination of Russia and its war rites.
The following episode shows how difficult it is to overcome the addiction to monogamy, a patriarchal invention. This does not mean we have to give up monogamous marriage but to realize a new dispensation was introduced with Christ, which is really a restoration of the original condition of “persona lovens,” not “homo sapiens,” which leaves out half the human race and presumes a non-existent “wisdom.”
Saint Paul said Christians should stay single like himself but it was better to marry than to burn with passion if they could not control themselves (I Corinthians 7:8). Saint Luke said that the “believers held all things in common” (Acts 2:44). Paul and Luke could not follow the logic back to communal sex rites in the original culture of herstory but it’s implied in their statements.
True Christianity is based on a natural religion of communal sex, shocking as that may be to patriarchal minds. Holding all things in common would include sex. And remaining unmarried or single within that context is the preferred manner of living. Jesus himself said that in the kingdom of heaven persons were not married. He hung around with women of all kinds, including prostitutes. His sexual ideas were what got him killed by the Talmudic Pharisees of the time, who handed him over the the Romans for the dirty work.
Present day Talmudic Pharisees like Count Khazar with their secret books and blood-sacrificial rites of young life are the driving force behind the Zionist crazies today. We will rue the day if we do not take them seriously. And we will surely lose the day if we do not take love seriously.

Love and War – Episode 17
Lord Leary and the Shrine
Lord Leary sat in front of the outdoor bower shrine. It was the first structure he had built on the Lodge property. He thought of it as a memorial of the shrines in the original love culture of Eden. He felt connected here at the shrine to the lovers of all times and places. Here he could see their faces and feel the traces of their delicate embraces.
The world had become more than strange and he felt like a stranger in a strange land. He recalled the poet’s words: “The world is crazy and people are strange; I’m all locked in and out of range.” He felt at home in nature but people were stranger than fiction.
The Zionists were not just strange but dangerous, both Khazar Zionists and Christian Zionists. He considered himself a Lover Naturalist, out of place in the world he was living in. He considered turning over the Lodge to Lady Love.
Her voice sang behind him as she massaged his shoulders, “You’ve been thinking of me. I can feel it.”
“Yes, I am. How’d you like to take over this Lodge?”
“I already am,” she said in a sweet voice.
“I know. Just want a confirmation.”
“Consider it confirmed,” she responded.
“Thanks. I feel relieved.”
“What will you do?”
“I don’t know. What does a patriarch do when he retires?”
Walking around to face him, she looked him squarely in the eye and said in a measured tone: “That’s not my problem.”
Leary felt anxiety and then anger but he responded in kind, “It’s just. I wish you love.”
He rose to his feet. They embraced and Lady walked away without a sound.
Lord felt the wheel turn. It had run him over and he felt crushed. He did not expect her reaction nor his own. But it was just and true. Patriarchy had crushed all women. He was a patriarch and she was a woman. He would sign the property over to her and become ordinary if he could.
He sat quietly before the shrine and fell into his customary practice. He felt his feet, legs, genitals, belly, heart and all of his body. It was all the Lover’s body, to the stars and beyond, he reminded himself. He imagined making love with all true lovers, no matter where they were.
Lady came up behind him a second time but did not touch him. “I told the others. They are surprised to say the least and would like to know why.”
“I wanted to ask you about it first. It has nothing to do with their actions. I will thank them for everything in a few minutes.”
Lady looked over him to the opening at the center of the shrine. “You love her.”
Lord replied straightaway, “Yes.”
Silence fell over them like a blanket. He broke it, “I love you too and the others.”
It was her turn to feel crushed by the massive weight of the wheel. Silence resumed its hold.
Lord continued, “It’s not personal. It’s communal.”
Lady was crying with guttural sobs convulsing her body, breaking the stillness.
Lord arose and turning with tears in his eyes, touched her hair gently with his fingers. “I’m going to meet with the others.” He walked in silence to the lodge.
Lady sat down where he had been and raised her gaze to the shrine.
An hour passed before she knew what hit her. It wasn’t him. It was her, the one in the shrine. Lady felt the fire of jealousy and rage consume her. The hurt and anger faded and she felt a calm understanding arise within her.
She rose and walked in for supper. Things had changed and she would never be quite the same. Lord had finished talking and they all looked about as shell-shocked as herself. Sheila and Viola rushed to her and all three set a-weeping, from joy and sorrow.
Arthur locked eyes with Lord. He seemed to be seeing Leary for the first time. Their features changed as if something passed between them. Lord broke the spell with a hearty “What the divil are we crying and staring about. Sure and don’t we know the food is getting cold?”
They laughed with relief and carried on as before. Chairs scraped and they bowed their heads for grace. This time Lady led. She kept her place at table. Lord invited Sheila to sit at the head of the table. She declined. Leary pulled back the chair for Viola who sat down smiling.
Holding all things in common would include sex.
Ok, I call bs on this.
If you mean sexual inter course, that is a dynamic between two (or, in your case, more, individuals) – not a ‘thing’ to be ‘held in common’ ( like land, houses, or any other object extant outside of human bodies).
So why don’t you just admit you are simply rationalizing your own desire for group sex, as a way of relieving your boredom with one woman ( and it’s attendant commitment) with this quasi-political ‘philosophy’ of yours?
That would be at least honest.
Oh, and the patriarchy is not remotely ‘shocked’ by group sex ( ‘communal’ can’t mean anything else): it even institutionalized polygamy ( which only differs from ‘communal sex’ by being male-controlled/selected and subject to temporal constraints).
And as a final note, have to say I find your attempts to analogize Russia’s serious situation vis-a-vis the constant attacks the US and ‘allies’ subject her too with some ‘lost Eden’ of ‘communal sex’ pretty distasteful. Project much?
Have some respect please, and confine your fantasies to yourself.
Thank you Eimar.
My thoughts and feelings entirely.
That this is tolerated here is why I don’t visit the Cafe anymore.
I appreciate your clear and blunt exposition.
Hi Isabella.
I wouldn’t allow DL’s ramblings/obsessions to dictate my ‘movements’ myself: there is plenty in the cafe worth reading. Why allow DL to ‘dictate’ your visits? He doesn’t ‘own’ the place….
Anyway, that’s what the scroll button is for :-)
I usually skim/skip him myself, but he went too far this time ( in my opinion).
That’s why I ‘tackled’ him.
I actually don’t care at all about his laughably transparent ‘issues’ – and neither it seems do the mods.
But I have become increasingly suspicious of his relentless ‘communal sex’ mantra ( the details of which he consistently evades).
That wouldn’t have promoted my ‘outburst’ though: it is his increasing
attempts to link Russia’s ‘dilemma’ with his ‘solution’ ( a la ‘The Children of God’ sex-cult) with this (apparently ‘personal’) fantasy.
If course it is ridiculous. But so was gay ‘marriage’. ;And Look how that turned out…)
Putin has publically stared Russia is a ‘traditional society.’ And it’s population is small. It is still dealing with
the consequences of the nineties – specifically, family breakdown. Russia still has a way to go to restore itself to norms and to a trajectory that promotes inter-generational welfare. A society with a future.,,.
So what exactly is DL’s agenda? Using the site as a personal ‘outlet’ ( because there were too few takers for his ‘lovegovernment’ site?)
Or is he deliberately attempting to subvert the Saker’s site – essentially on-message wrt to Russia’s reclamation if traditional values -with his ‘intellectualized’ ‘free-love’ mantra?
It’s very telling that he consistently evades the issue of children – the future.
I agree Leary avoids being specific about his “communal sex” theme. I did ask him – twice – to elucidate on precisely what was “communal marriage” – answer came there none.
I guess I avoid the Cafe because I get a feeling of “desire to avoid” from the faint feeling of disgust the imagery he conjures up produce in me.
I agree with you though, re the linking of Russia’s very very big and difficult problems being joined up with some sort of aging hippy group sex and dreaming under the trees “solution”. As with the “homosexual lobby” thing [I refuse to use the word Gay in protest at the hijacking of lovely word for a lovely emotion and for which we now have no other ] – these things can blow out of control if they aren’t stomped on quickly.
Somehow though, I really really dont see Russian’s easily falling for this erotic fantasy line. I dont think they are made that way, somehow.
I like V.V. Putin’s comments on group sex “I suppose it’s like any team thing – you can hide the fact that you’re no good at it” !!
Thank you eimar and Isabella. ..how much longer do have to hear a boy’s fantasy of orgies. Cant he just get over it.
Dennis, if you want to have group sex and have a group who likes it, go for it — you don’t have to justify it — doesn’t bother me, and I’m not interested. Many species do that (and many don’t), with humans some of each, but to try to conflate this with religions and such is nonsense, and just annoys people. There is much to be said for the practice of simply minding one’s own business and to each his own. It’s sad that people get so hung up on simple biological processes and urges — like the kids who have pissing contests.
BTW, the cats couldn’t care less what humans do with it.
It’s a sign of a society that has things so wrong, when it conflates the highest, best, most powerful emotion and force known to man with the erotic imagery of group gropings. [Actually, what constitutes the erotic is a personal thing. For me, group gropings aren’t erotic, they are coarse and repellent]
The other day, I was watching a video of an elephant sanctuary in Thailand – a real one – and of one of the workers, a lady who sang a young elephant to sleep, then curled up with him herself. In the discussion she said “to stand at the feet of these giant animals and look up at them – you get such a feeling there are no words for.” as she was shown leaning against two of them who were caressing her with their trunks, she said “when I touch them like this, I feel their love. I feel the force of their love. They communicate with love. They use their love to communicate with”.
I was so moved – what a beautiful image, I thought.
We think we are so smart with our iPads and stripped toothpaste. If we could learn that love is a force – as Ilyin said, and communicate with each other like that – we would have no wars then either. We can’t do that. We have no idea how to “use love to communicate with each other”.
I think it’s a better way to try than group gropings.
4/23/89
Knowledge is the enemy
From which the world is made
The counterfeit of being
Throw it off
It is the walls of the cosmos
The eater of freedom
The panderer of time
Throw it off
It destroys power
Qualifies love
Erodes God
Throw it off
It defines hells
Poisons the soul
Stifles song
Throw it off
There is no truth in knowledge
Each fact is a lie
Those of omniscience
Wait only to die
Throw it off
My impression is that „group gropings“ are not at all what DL writes about.
A while ago I had to wait for something and was near to a place with printed words, perhaps a bookshop, and just to kill time I looked at some of these texts. It was so casual that I did not take any notes, and regret it now. One of these texts I found interesting and remembered these weeks while the war between DL and all those sworn in on received decency goes on.
That text was in a feminist book, one of several testimonials how individual women coped with a wicked male world. The text I remembered was an interview with an African woman living in a „traditional“ African village, where „traditional“ means not „worldwide_pc“, but „in one of the ways which in that region developed and were practiced as long as not interfered with with WASP PCism“. The traditions in this case were the same in several villages or a region.
In that village (I remember), „every family had their hut“, as everywhere else, where father, mother and some children could live, eat, sleep etc. The connection between hut and couple was in some way formal, so that hut #1 belonged to couple A+B, and not to C+D or A+D. Who belonged where was in some sense „known“ to everybody else in the village. Apart from that „love was communal“ – although the interviewed woman, to the best of my recollection, did not use exactly these words taken from the Collected Works of DL. What this woman („A”) told was that (ttbomr) that „It was in spring of …. when B and I moved to hut #1, and soon my son a1 was born. After a while, however, we found that B and I had less and less common interests. One day, at the well, I met a man with the name of E from the next village to the south. He was so friendly that I liked him immediately. I spoke things over with my mother and with B, and we agreed upon my moving in with E in the other village. His family had no objections. Since there were already three kids there we decided that I would take a1 with me, so that he could grow up together with them….“ Hut #1 by that did not cease to be known and acknowledged to be the hut of A+B… This story was endless, and its main character was Love in the way elephants seem to practice it (according to Isabella), not as a sealed mutually exclusive entitlement between two persons to share everything between themselves but nobody else, but on the contrary to be open for the personalities and wishes of everyone, fulfilling or gently refusing them not without thought and deliberation with likeminded others.
Isabella, you are very sympathetic and your more political posts were always interesting. Now, however, you seem to be nailed by the scandal that DL has other ideas than you on one single topic in our present world. You asked him several times your unserious, provocative question, meant to ridicule him: What will be the time scheme for general bed hopping? He did not answer, seemingly because he saw nothing to gain from ridiculing himself just because you want it. There is no need for that time scale. The general idea of DL and other elephants seem to be to let feelings flow, and let them be positive: they will appear when they appear, and will be acted upon (in case) in an appropriate way everybody can be content with. The „communal“ thing about it is – in the cited example – that it worked for a community of people in a (probably small) region who all knew each other, more or less, and thus trusted another. It was not depicted as a place where everyone could arrive, have his fun, and depart again. The raising of the kids was in that example organized the same way as in the poor regions of Europe in the past – in the daily or longer absence of parents someone else from the family plus the other kids managed the job. By the way, in „backward“ areas of Europe I have seen a similar arrangement: when everybody meets (at family meetings, at communal celebrations etc), „the grown ups“ and „the kids“ are two clearly distinct groups which are clearly connected: the grown ups don‘t care what the kids do (they know it won‘t by anything inacceptable), and the kids dont‘t care what the grownups do. But at any moment anyone can turn to anyone with a question, a wish, and in rare cases an admonition: „Don‘t do that, it won‘t be good for you.“ There, the kids as well as the parents are „communal“ in the sense that all kids are everybody‘s kids (for caring that everything is ok) and for the kids all grownups are parents (to turn to in case of need). It is a baffling difference to my country where in „general“ meetings fathermotherchild stay anxiously together, father or/and mother telling the child every few minutes what to do now, what never to do, what to do differently, ,to speak or to shut up etc.
“The general idea of DL and other elephants seem to be to let feelings flow, and let them be positive”
Are you serious? Shall we all vomit our current feelings here, without any restraint or discretion? It’s not an acid or shrink seance here… Or, have I missed the train?
“obsession”
1510s, “action of besieging,” from French obsession and directly from Latin obsessionem (nominative obsessio) “siege, blockade, a blocking up,” noun of action from past participle stem of obsidere “to besiege” (see obsess). Later (c. 1600), “hostile action of an evil spirit” (like possession but without the spirit actually inhabiting the body). Transferred sense of “action of anything which engrosses the mind” is from 1670s. Psychological sense is from 1901.
I used to get an elephant ‘ride’ most evenings when I lived in Thailand for a few months.
She was a very gentle, dignified lady, who I trusted completely.
The sensation of being picked up by her trunk and placed – just so – on her enormous neck, right behind her ears will always abide with me.
When I placed my palms flat on her head and stroked her, as we headed back to the village, she would arch her trunk back and gently ‘stroke’ me in return.
Pachyderms are an ancient species we must do our utmost to keep.
Thank you very much, Elmar, for this nice addition.
I always wanted to see Thailand (the „real” one, with much time), but so far did not succeed, and nice countries in their „real” mode are an endangered species, too. Nice people in nice countries too.
I have begun something longer about pachyderms and others, but will post it in the 17-1-19 Cafe.
Since there is co-ed tackling going on (rugby? Or Super-Bowl warm-up? Or maybe sex-offender police squad??) I’d like to pile on.
Fully clothed, of course.
But I don’t want Dennis locked up. I hope it doesn’t come to that! And what a bizarre religious martyrdom that would entail. I mean, I’m not liberal, but even I “don’t want to ‘go there’………”.
“I’m esoteric, but to a degree
I want everybody to be free,
But not to wantonly spread VD
And cause the crucifixion of Leer-y”
but OMG all of Dennis’ poet buddies have gently hinted “give it a rest” but he does seem to be on a mission to spread STDs, so maybe gentle chiding and jokes regarding the loose branch in his Tree of Life will never abort this Miss-conceived (sorry, but sex generates more humor than all other themes combined……) Miss-ion no other living Vineyard Soul can sign up for, and tackling is the only thing in order …………They (I , we) simply can’t comprehend it. And I imagine, if any among they do want a Love-ocracy where every woman will be encouraged to admit into her every Tom, Dick (forgive me, I can’t help it….) and Harry, they’d want the challenge, instead of just endless smorgasbord, for free. I just think it’s some kind of Miss-take to communalize anything so private.
All kidding aside, where Dennis really shined brightest, IMHO was in the first Count Khazar episodes where kinterra produced the dramatic heroic counterpoint to Leery’s insightful portrayal of the Prince from the Pit of Darkness. Both were excellent. Good drama, with NO SEX!!
But very soon thereafter, kinterra went away and Dennis went astray: the thing eventually got a bit narcissistic with Lord L and the full-blown longing for coital communality. I confess: I sped up my reading to 5X normal speed and headed for the exit sign to avoid conversation with any other theater goers on the sexual communality theme, and to beat the traffic home.
I go back to one of your answers to me, Dennis, which went something like:
“Well of course I’m projecting. After all, we are all just narcissists at heart!”
I was tired or speechless and just shook my head, thinking “NO, we’re NOT. It is possible not to project!”
Later, when you were away I expressed the idea in terms of the uselessness of Ego, in truth-seeking.
I think the meditation might need to be on the necessity of love of self as a prerequisite for love of others, but how self-love is NOT either egoism or narcissism. That’s what I’d suggest, in a low voice, after the other tacklers have departed, and I offer you a hand off the muddy turf of the Vineyard Rugby Field.
One massive pile-on everyone saw coming except yourself, unless that’s what you wanted??! You OK??
Nicely and – more importantly – kindly said, Bro.
Sadly, DL’s own narcissism prevented him from ‘seeing it coming.’
He has cast himself as a ‘truth-bringer’, forced to ‘shock’ the vineyard out of its ‘conformity’ with his ‘solution’ to conflict.
Even to the extent of analogy with J.C. ( persecution complex too?;-)
Reminds me of A.O. Wilson’s recommendation that conflict could be solved if we all behaved more like bonobos ….a typical repressed product of the English public school system who never develop emotionally and resolve their ‘issues’ with often sadistic/psychopathic and even bestial responses to their own neuroses/psychoses.
As I said, I didn’t care about his posts at all, as long as they were confined to his own issues ( pretty obvious).
But his vanity was what prompted this ‘tackling.’ That Russia’s very complex, serious and difficult political situation – especially its ongoing efforts to prevent a war – ‘pales into significance’ compared to DL’s ‘version’ of ‘her story’ ( though no actual lived ‘herstory’ is ever referenced) is beyond risible.
Personally I think he got off lightly :-)
Ps see Babushka’s post below: my subconscious must have been picking something up re DL’s ‘personal’ ideas.
It’s possible the claims before the US Senate hearing about Bolshevik social engineering were:
~a) entirely true (ie the alleged were indeed Bolshevik state policy)
~ b) partially true ( some Bolshevik sexual predators using the revolution as a means to politicize/engineer conditions of sexual opportunism, as pornographers used ‘free speech’ to mainstream pornography, or paid fifth columnists used to subvert its aims
~ c) propaganda by disgruntled refugees/migrants ‘egging’ their personal issues of loss with invented Bolshevik ‘moral turpitude’ to regain control over lost resources
Whatever the truth, it seems DL’s ‘philosophy’ has a historical precedent – attempted at least.
And the ‘lab’ was Russia.
Hmmmmm…..
Reply to DL
As you have conflated Russia with ‘communal grope acts’ can I suggest some further reading.
Seems like the Americans were very curious about the same thing after the Bolshevik take over of Imperial Russia, so much so that that held a Senate investigation – February/ March 1919.
Of particular interest to the committee was the relationship between Jews and communists in Russia.
Another more a curious theme frequently raised was the ‘abolition of marriage’ – ‘free love’ and ‘nationalisation’ of women allegedly occurring in Soviet Russia.
More than two dozen witnesses were interviewed. About two thirds were violently anti-Bolshevik and advocated for military intervention in Russia. Some were Russian refuges, others were former government officials who left Russia because of Bolshevism.
The Committee’s final report filled 1,256 pages. The report described the Communist system in Russia as a reign of terror unparalleled in the history of modern civilisation.

Group groping s theme: General
The world of the perversion of sexuality is DL’s theme, with himself as progenitor / devils advocate to drive this truth home, deliberately, to awaken natural disgust for the unthinkable sexual crimes committed against children, women,men and boys, as crimes against humanity.
It is incredibly hard to to take this on board and we need to. That is what I thought . . .
re: group groping: Maybe it was just a sign of the times back in the early 20th century but most of the elites pushing birth control were also into eugenics. As for Children being the future? For these types it is only the future for the “right” kind of children.
There is a S. Spielburg saga about a robot child on TV. and how his development is carefully programmed so he becomes a “real” boy. His nose does not grow long in this saga of dystopia, however, and it is presented in all seriousness as possible. So not only can you genetically design your offspring, but also you can emotionally program them.
It is all about control and oddly enough the supposed lack of total structure is also a type of control–note how rigid the “program” is of the love-bower. Wow! better not sneak a steak or what? the stake for you? Oh no there are no contrarians in the love-bower utopia and that sneaky snake waving the steak has been blocked by the cherubim twirling their swords at the gates.
Once you make it into the love-bower garden, there is no leaving! the whole schema reminds me of a recruitment ad for a Brave New World redux.

Just an initial test, working on something better.

Small Honor: Tiny Moth Named for Trump
By Mindy Weisberger, Senior Writer | January 17, 2017 01:25pm ET
One of the very best articles (recent historical and Geo-Political events) is Corey Scink’s well composed analysis, published today at sott.net.
Intro:
“The war between the Establishment and Donald Trump reveals a level of political struggle Americans haven’t witnessed in decades, perhaps centuries.
For decades, battles in American politics have played out behind the scenes, sometimes waged through assassinations, bribery, threats, psychological warfare, financial warfare and blackmail. But rarely has the dirty side of politics been aired for the public to see.
Trump was elected because he’s a straight talker. He wasn’t put in there by Russia. He wasn’t put in there by white racists (in fact his message resonated more with minorities than whites).
Trump was voted into power with a mandate to whip the country back in shape after years of ‘spine-bending’ corruption. As Randall L. Bytwerk wrote in Bending Spines: The Propagandas of Nazi Germany and the German Democratic Republic, “National Socialism and Marxism-Leninism put enormous effort into bending, and sometimes breaking, spines – a process for which both found propaganda necessary.”1
Neoliberalism has been no less spine-bending. Its pathological, postmodern system of ethics has bent and twisted human minds to accept its pursuit of unlimited tolerance, unaccountable lies, and unanswerable inequality. When necessary it breaks people’s spines. Its effects on politics, economics, religion and society have been disastrous. The American people through Trump and the Western people as a whole through the Euroskeptic parties and Brexit, show their desire for the return of rational, human nature to politics.
As a brash businessman his pragmatic and brutally honest nature has caused a meltdown in Washington as he attempts to persuade America and NATO to stand up straight. Since higher office and society is filled with spiritual invertebrates, we are witnessing a clash of epic proportions. ”

Remember Peter J Antonsen?
I still get his email blasts. Was commenting a lot on UNZ Review and other places as “Durrutti”.
Stuck on Jefferson and that bare-breasted French female revolutionary Bearing the Tricolor Alongside Youth With Fife and Drummer Boy.
Hamilton was a far better man and soldier. But the anti-Empire front must be very broad. Like Hamilton joining Jefferson to stop that weasel Burr.
Peter J Antonsen (formerly a regular here) blasted a good John Pilger article I want to share:
The Issue is Not Trump: It is Us…..
Pilger contrasts 1935 with an abysmal statement from Writers Resist (Trump) in first days of 2017 and contrasts the quality of famous writers then with the sycophantic sell-outs of today:
“Compare such drivel with the declarations of the Congress of American Writers, held at Carnegie Hall, New York, in 1935, and again two years later. They were electric events, with writers discussing how they could confront ominous events in Abyssinia, China and Spain. Telegrams from Thomas Mann, C Day Lewis, Upton Sinclair and Albert Einstein were read out, reflecting the fear that great power was now rampant and that it had become impossible to discuss art and literature without politics or, indeed, direct political action.
“A writer,” the journalist Martha Gellhorn told the second congress, “must be a man of action now . . . A man who has given a year of his life to steel strikes, or to the unemployed, or to the problems of racial prejudice, has not lost or wasted time. He is a man who has known where he belonged. If you should survive such action, what you have to say about it afterwards is the truth, is necessary and real, and it will last.”
Her words echo across the unction and violence of the Obama era and the silence of those who colluded with his deceptions
Following the public relations disaster of George W. Bush, Obama, the smooth operator from Chicago via Harvard, was enlisted to restore what he calls “leadership” throughout the world. The Nobel Prize committee’s decision was part of this: the kind of cloying reverse racism that beatified the man for no reason other than he was attractive to liberal sensibilities and, of course, American power, if not to the children he kills in impoverished, mostly Muslim countries.
This is the Call of Obama. It is not unlike a dog whistle: inaudible to most, irresistible to the besotted and boneheaded, especially “liberal brains pickled in the formaldehyde of identity politics,” as Luciana Bohne put it. “When Obama walks into a room,” gushed George Clooney, “you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere.”
(Excuse me, I, Bro 93 need to go barf……)
William I. Robinson, professor at the University of California, and one of an uncontaminated group of American strategic thinkers who have retained their independence during the years of intellectual dog-whistling since 9/11, wrote this last week:
“President Barack Obama … may have done more than anyone to assure [Donald] Trump’s victory. While Trump’s election has triggered a rapid expansion of fascist currents in US civil society, a fascist outcome for the political system is far from inevitable …. But that fight back requires clarity as to how we got to such a dangerous precipice. The seeds of 21st century fascism were planted, fertilized and watered by the Obama administration and the politically bankrupt liberal elite.”
Robinson points out that “whether in its 20th or its emerging 21st century variants, fascism is, above all, a response to deep structural crises of capitalism, such as that of the 1930s and the one that began with the financial meltdown in 2008 …. There is a near-straight line here from Obama to Trump … The liberal elite’s refusal to challenge the rapaciousness of transnational capital and its brand of identity politics served to eclipse the language of the working and popular classes … pushing white workers into an ‘identity’ of white nationalism and helping the neo-fascists to organise them”..
The seedbed is Obama’s Weimar Republic, a landscape of endemic poverty, militarised police and barbaric prisons: the consequence of a “market” extremism which, under his presidency, prompted the transfer of $14 trillion in public money to criminal enterprises in Wall Street.
Perhaps his greatest “legacy” is the co-option and disorientation of any real opposition. Bernie Sanders’ specious “revolution” does not apply. Propaganda is his triumph.
The lies about Russia — in whose elections the US has openly intervened — have made the world’s most self-important journalists laughing stocks. In the country with constitutionally the freest press in the world, free journalism now exists only in its honourable exceptions.
The obsession with Trump is a cover for many of those calling themselves “left/liberal”, as if to claim political decency. They are not “left”, neither are they especially “liberal”. Much of America’s aggression towards the rest of humanity has come from so-called liberal Democratic administrations — such as Obama’s. America’s political spectrum extends from the mythical centre to the lunar right. The “left” are homeless renegades Martha Gellhorn described as “a rare and wholly admirable fraternity”. She excluded those who confuse politics with a fixation on their navels.
While they “heal” and “move forward”, will the Writers Resist campaigners and other anti-Trumpists reflect upon this? More to the point: when will a genuine movement of opposition arise? Angry, eloquent, all-for-one-and-one-for all. Until real politics return to people’s lives, the enemy is not Trump, it is ourselves.”
“market” extremism which, under his presidency, prompted the transfer of $14 trillion in public money to criminal enterprises in Wall Street.
You just made me realize that they’ve done to the US what they did to Russia in the ’90s (and Germany in the aftermath of WW I). (And people don’t think history repeats itself) (!)
I don’t think that anyone would be stupid enough to keep falling for their “Let’s you and him fight” suggestion if they grasped this one, simple fact. Both Russia and the US are in the same boat.
Precisely, TTC.
But, as with JFK they are getting all their mind-controlled dupes and “lone assassins” prepared, because they are about to lose everything if even the very limited waking up in progress today goes very much further.
“Today, the threat of assassination to stop Trump is a very real danger. Throughout American history, it is only those presidents who stood up against the British and Wall Street who were subject to assassination. Today, London’s role in orchestrating a “color revolution” against Trump is out in the open. Trump, himself, in an interview with the Times of London Monday, ridiculed MI6 agent Christopher Steele for his wild fabrications about Trump being controlled by Moscow, which were picked up and peddled by the US press. Trump concluded by telling the Times reporter: “So if this guy is a British guy, you got a lot of problems.” …….”
This time, the waking up process, unlike 1963, though limited and not nearly as conscious and informed as it might be is global . If “they” can’t change the narrative very soon, and tip that awakening back into mind control through selective assassination “they” (the globalist occultocracy seeking to impose human slavery world-wide) may never recover the hypnotic control they have been used to for the last century, since ruining Eurasian integration and the bulk of positive values in 19th Century America in the process, capturing us as a “dumb giant on a British leash”.
Here’s where that Trump quote came from:
https://larouchepac.com/20170119/lavrov-wests-post-christian-messianism-has-brought-chaos-world-we-must-restore-human-values
These human values Lavrov references are not some retarded prudishness, IMHO, but the following quote from him, I think, might be a useful discussion point for the Love Controversy in this current Café:
And what are these values, he asks, which the West constantly demands that Russia and the world must adopt?
“These are probably not the values the grandfathers of today’s Europeans espoused,” said Lavrov, “but something new and modernized, a free-for-all, I would say. These are values that can be called post-Christian. They are radically and fundamentally at odds with the values handed down from generation to generation for centuries in our country, which we would like to cherish and hand down to our children and grandchildren. When during foreign policy battles we and many others face a demand to accept these new post-Christian Western values, including permissiveness and the universality of liberal approaches to the life of the individual, I think it is indecent on a human level. But in terms of professional diplomats, it is a colossal mistake and a completely unacceptable overestimation of your own influence on international relations.”

Interesting article in light of the recent murders of 2 reporters in Finland who were researching a pedophile ring in the government of their country:
http://russia-insider.com/en/politics/pizzagate-not-going-away-cbs-airs-great-overview-asking-important-questions-video/ri18606
The gaslight gets turned up very high whenever anyone gets close to incest/child abuse etc. –also things like staged news i.e. the allegedly outraged lone gunman ( no one saw his gun and who heard the shot) who walked into the Cosmic Pizza in Washington,DC.
Yes, the pedophiles and their protectors were going to explode with self righteous indignation and try to censor Alex Jones for his reporting of Pizzagate and make him responsible for inflaming unbalanced minds and endangering peaceful children eating pizza. He made a strategic decision to step back from the story–wisely–at this time. He has other fish to fry and knows it.
Others will have to do the work and dedicate themselves just solely to this. The emotions and dark forces behind this foulness are very strong and filled with desperate hatred. Ordinary sane people do not want to believe the satanic weirdness that can hide in powerful, responsible positions behind a bland, smiling face. And that is these biggest cover for these predators. It makes it very, very hard to prove anything.
If you think Russia baiting, fantasy and hysteria is unbelievable–just wait until the covers are pulled off the pedophiles and Satanic cultists. This is just a dry run so to speak.
The only thing more explosive will be when Trump exposes the CIA-Military group that did the 9/11 attack.
