Welcome to the ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’. The ‘Moveable Feast’ is an open thread where readers can post wide ranging observations, articles, rants, off topic and have animate discussions of the issues of the day.
The ‘Moveable Feast Cafe’ will have two new open threads each week.
The Saker stated moderation policy will apply eg ‘no caps’, no obscenity … etc to all post.
The Cafe is now open for business … come on in and have a good time.
Saker Webmaster
it’s UTC 23:13, 0:13 MEZ, my birthday formally is toast
and we are in the night of unexpected outbursts of man
but that is only true to a verry little number of persons
on this planet
the Vineyard is after 400 years of enlightment a rare
place where a pious astrologer has found respect
that spells good in mirror of the heavens
to all my fellow-guests here in Iceland
Cheers
and three Cheers to the Saker
Happy Birthday to you ! Waiter! bring up the Anna Pavlova cake for our friend mundo.
A thoroughly good value Russian cake, full of Anna Pavodka spirit. Cut it into even sections, draw the shades. . .
Thank you for the sweet surprise. My wife and I yesterday had an Oberkrainer Cake of Buckwheat, Cherries
and a very fine coat of cream with Almond – splinters , soo tasty and easy.
Ok, let’s try the 76th and see you all in the Cafe, Waiter please, Prosecco for all.
Hugs
New MFC, new health find! Again, readers should do their own research to ensure they have all the info pertinent to their own health/metabolism.
Colloidal silver. Another “secret” Big Pharma doesn’t want the public to know about. It is an amazing antibiotic.
Short story, there’s a lot of bad info out there, avoid ionic or protein (mild silver protein) types. This has all the standard medical info sites like webmd screeching how dangerous and ineffective colloidal silver is… well ya, if you’re taking the word of the hucksters who sell the ionic or protein crap as colloidal…
Ionic bonds to any available saline molecules, which are abundant in foods, stomach and the blood stream. This means very little if any of it is bio-available to act as an antibiotic in the body. Ionic can be used topically (often used to heal burns).
The protein variety is just bad, can discolour skin and is not internally bio-available either.
SO, why the big “secret”? Searle (the guy who founded the drug company) wrote of it in the early 1900’s but they didn’t have the chemistry/technology to consistently produce the silver nano-particles (if they even knew what a nano-particle was) that give the best results. So when easy/cheap to produce penicillin came along, coloidal silver was relegated to a folk remedy.
Now, Big Pharma doesn’t want us to know there is a “fix” they they CAN’T PATENT for all those “superbugs” they created. Turns out harmful bacteria, viruses and fungus which bedevil humans (or pets) can’t build up a resistance to proper colloidal silver.
Here’s a site with all the chemical/technical information, bearing in mind these people sell no product.
http://www.silver-colloids.com/
Again, there is a lot of bad (not sterile) or poorly made products which claim to contain colloidal silver, when it is often a high% of ionic, which is what is produced with simple electrolysis in the initial production step… getting a high % of actual nano-particle colloidal silver in a sterile solution of water is the expensive and difficult bit.
One major “tell” is that real colloidal silver does not precipitate out, even if salt is added. It also remains stable for long periods (some claim decades) in any container, so glass (dark or otherwise) is not required as some suppliers say. Still, there may be good product in glass (the clerk at by store preferred the glass for her personal environmental reasons). Research, research…
Here’s the site for one product available in my local health food stores, which goes out of their way to define the properties which colloidal has and will be found in theirs.
http://www.sunforceorganics.com/products/colloidal-silver/true-silver.php
It is not on the tested “good” list from the site I linked above, but my local health food national chain is quite good at screening out dubious products.
I began looking at this because I think there is still some infection under a recent root canal, despite a round of amoxicillin. The doc gave me metroindazole to take in case the infection returned… if you want to see a scary antibiotic, this is it. Potentially carcinogenic… ya, I’ll try colloidal silver first thanks!
So supplements of taurine, tryptophan, and the rest of the amino acids, good vitamins, collagen, plus colloidal silver as an antibiotic first-line defense could bankrupt Big Pharma, Big Medicine and the parasitic insurance industry.
And a healthy. clear thinking public could take back their political/social/economic systems.

Copper is great at killing superbugs – so why don’t hospitals use it?
Bill Keevil (TC) : Fantasilandia in Chile, one of Latin America’s largest theme parks, has replaced its most frequently touched surfaces with copper to help reduce the spread of germs and protect the health of its visitors. But why? Because copper and its alloys exhibit impressive antibacterial, antiviral and anti-fungal properties.

@ blue and T1: Humans are incrementally recovering key health/nutrition wisdom of the past. We are also now armed with the science to back up the traditional knowledge, as well as eliminate the harmful inconsistencies and deliberate disinformation which “corporate medical science” of the international Deep State/banksters has capitalized upon to trap the public in their Big Pharma, Big Ag world domination agenda.
It is worth noting that much recent medical science research involves combining fundamental items like taurine, tryptophan and colloidal silver with “standard” drug strategies to “improve” the efficacy of the drugs, not simply test the general value of nutritional materials. Fortunately, there are some courageous researchers who step out from under the hegemony of the corporate establishment peer review system and medical association blacklisting/blackmail to make their findings known to the public.
A bit dated, but a good history primer on how Big Medicine/Pharma were manipulated by the Rothchilds and others… scary. It is up to readers to decide if they endorse other info offered on this site, but again, remember Newton was also an alchemist… no one is 100% right all the time, no matter how brilliant in some areas.
http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/history_of_the_pharma_cartel.html
“Dr. Rath identified micronutrient deficiency as the primary cause of diseases. These diseases include heart attacks, high blood pressure, diabetic circulatory problems, cancer and even immune deficiency diseases, including AIDS.
Like a Sherlock Holmes of science, Dr. Rath traced the real cause of these diseases, and found that they had been deliberately nebulized or even hidden away from millions of people for one purpose only: to feed the insatiable greed of the pharmaceutical business with disease.”
I think Drs. Rath and Pauling was labouring under the misconception that the industrialized food system was providing sufficient basic nutrition for major amino nutrients like taurine and tryptophan. Let alone considering the increasing environmental/food-borne preservatives/additives and micro-trace residues of various antibiotics, hormones, MSG, herbicides, and pesticides which surely inhibit the natural processes which prevent “Western diet” diseases. But why would corporate science investigate the deleterious effects of the products they profit so handsomely from?
Be healthy… free your body and mind, as well as of those around you.
Hi nice try,
Thanks for the link about Rockefeller and Rothschild involvement in 20th century medicine. I understand it is a brief intro but I do think that however brief an intro on the topic, LONHO and the WHO are ones that should not be missed as they are really fundamental.
Here are two very good introductions to the topic.
http://www.publichealthjrnl.com/article/S0033-3506(13)00396-X/pdf
http://graduateinstitute.ch/files/live/sites/iheid/files/sites/international_history_politics/users/stratto9/public/weindling%20RF%20LONHO.pdf
One of the funny things that most truthers don’t know is that the WHO and a number of other international organizations are built on land that once belonged to the Rothschilds. Over the past century, the Rothschilds have donated a fair portion of the land holdings they have accumulated in Pregny and in the area. https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pregny-Chamb%C3%A9sy
If you want to take a look, these are the coordinates of Benjamin’s house 46.234286, 6.143255 And if you zoom out, the property below that almost goes down to the lake is also Rothschild.
This is Benjamin and Nadine’s inheritance from Edmond although she no longer really lives there and it is more of a guest house for foreign dignitaries who can sneak into Geneva for talks with Benji and then leave, this “totally”, under the radar.
Now compare the size of the properties to the ones around and look for WHO, UNAIDS, ICRC, UN and all the rest. You can feel the power they yield to this date just from a satellite image.
The French embassy (Benjamin’s neighbor) is also built on land donated by the Rothschilds and the house itself may have been built by them prior to the donation. The area has quite literally been Rothschildstan for the past couple hundred years. I guess The Saker would probably concur as he knows a thing or two about this region as well.
I wish there was a Saker Pharma by the way, it would make it a fun blog.
Cheers and thanks for the posts!

@ Ovo:
Saker Pharma/Nutrition. Agreed, first get healthy, then defeat the Empire.
Thanks for the info.
Another link to a very plain-language explanation of many things about real colloidal silver, and info about the stuff to avoid.
https://www.quantumbalancing.com/news/cs_universal.htm
The only “side effect” I have found is where the silver acts on either a very large amount of a particular infection or growth, or a large variety in various parts of the body… when under attack from any antibiotic, bacteria, fungi or viruses will often release toxins or dead biomass which may give side effects like low fever, diarrhea or the like. This is because the toxins/dead biomass overloads the body’s ability to dispose of them. As the old saying goes, this too shall pass… but you may feel quite badly as it does. But it is not a side effect of the silver per se, it is because the silver is working as it should.
So as with anything, start slow and don’t overdo it. The dosing on the container is there for a reason.
If you have an infection where you say, it can be quite effective to use a salt mouthwash, when i do this i alter the pressure in my mouth as much as possible, suck first, then pressure to encourage the penetration of the salt. These bacteria are frequently the type that cause plaque in arteries, they’re anearobic and thrive on sugars, which will find it easier to penetrate your tissues than salt, so until it’s sorted best to avoid sugars and simple carbs.. Coffee tends to constrict the smaller blood vessels cutting your immune system off from the area, chillies the reverse. I’ve sometimes used hydrogen peroxide as a substitute for the seasalt mouthwash, don’t know how wise that is but effective, just don’t swallow either.
Generally on health issues I’ll check out what Vernon Coleman has to say, his approach is roughly if your ill it’s probably something in your food, or not in your food, and if not that it’s something your doing, or not doing.
@johnm33: Thanks for the input, but I alternately tried salt and a strong mouthwash on the run-up to the major flare-up, no joy, and hydrogen peroxide is too harsh for my mouth. And definitely would not effective in dealing with the post-root canal re-emerging infection. The roots (I’m in 20% of the population in this particular tooth having 2) of this tooth are VERY deep, and no way those compounds could penetrate to where they would be beneficial. Especially since the amoxicillin (and whatever antibiotic the dental surgeon put in before the final root packing) could not eradicate the viable colony of whatever microbiome is causing the problem.
That said, I’m in my mid-60’s and admittedly have not been as diligent as I might have been with my teeth/gums, or even nutrition for that matter. But I am generally healthier/more active than I deserve to be, (until last summer my motorcycle of choice was a CBR600RR, now have a Gold Wing) and am on zero prescriptions of any kind, other than very occasional antibiotics which I hope I have ditched for good. So I move forward from where I am.
Colloidal silver supplements the immune system, operating in parallel, and over 650 known human-borne pathogens cannot build up a resistance to it. I’m guessing if the second-line-of-defense Flagyl (metronidazole) the surgeon prescribed would have dealt with the infection, colloidal silver will as well, and with no side effects. And you can swallow colloidal silver… in fact you should after holding it under your tongue/around your gums
I get the whole “you are what you eat” thing, but research shows that even children raised on organic produce/meats generated from the fairly isolated family farm showed significant chemical load. So what chance do city-dwellers eating from available sources (even local no-antibiotic/hormone meats and organic/low-chem produce) have to avoid this problem?
I still think it is chemical load and systemic malnutrition of key amino acids, vitamins and trace nutrients causing most “food borne” diseases. Given a chance with those necessary aminos etc, your body will deal far better with the chemical load.
I may be missing some information but when something similiar happened to me the tooth had to be reopened and redone. Once the organisms were in there that was the only thing that could get them out.
@ Franz:
Not my first root canal, last one (different tooth, obviously) required a redo as well. And this current one was “left open”, packed with antibiotic and only covered with a temp filling. 1 1/2 weeks later, went back and reopened, cleaned out and final packing installed. App’t to have permanent filling with my regular dentist this Thursday.
So a re-do is what I’m trying to avoid. The root canal is now packed with inert material to its tip (and maybe a bit beyond, the doc had to refreeze it when I started feeling the files hitting the ligament below the root). So it may just be some tenderness as the tissue where the abscess was heals/closes in.
Whatever it is, infection or otherwise, since I started on the colloidal silver, the tenderness has reduced by over half, and decreasing faster… only two days on it and that fast? I’ll take my chances rather than take Flagyl… and if it gets bad again, we’ll see… but I doubt it will. Not my first time at the whole abscess/root canal rodeo.
OK, bad old joke time… fellow goes to the doctor, says “Doc, every time I pass wind it sounds like “honda”. Doc checks him over finds nothing. Says “Try Imodium or kaopectate, let me know if that helps”. It doesn’t. Then the patient notices a small abscess, goes to the dentist, gets it fixed and is surprised when his passing gas returns to normal. Calls the dentist and asks why this might be. Dentist says, “That’s easy, … Abscess makes the fart go “honda”. (Say it out loud if it doesn’t make sense)
I can hear the groans from here. LOLOL! I inherited some of the worst jokes ever…
How is the colloidal silver that Infowarsstore.com hawks?
I can’t speak to the efficacy of any brand I don’t use, so readers must do their research and decide from what is available to them.
No way to tell from the infowars info provided, ditto without knowing who it is “manufactured by” (essentially a re-label of an existing product line).
Real colloidal silver should be a unique yellow colour, and remains stable indefinitely (unless frozen or I would guess boiled) because the silver colloids form bonds as described here (look at all the pages on this site):
http://www.silver-colloids.com/Reports/reports.html
and more info here:
http://www.traditionalcolloidalsilver.ca/blank
Clear is basically ionic silver (aka hydrosol or monatomic silver).
There is a big battle going on between those who claim ionic is as effective as true colloids, which it may be where there no contact with saline/chlorides (blood, other body fluids). So topical surface applications, maybe even to sinuses or breathed in as cold-vapourized may be effective.
Real colloidal silver is much more difficult and time consuming (expensive) to produce than ionic.
This is exactly the “buyer beware” scenario Big Pharma/Medicine wants to encourage to continue around colloidal silver. They have been stymied because colloidal silver is considered a pre-FDA material and not as easily regulated out of the market like Big Pharma has done with other natural remedies/supplements. And now that technology has improved for both production and testing, real colloidal silver is becoming available at more reasonable prices.
I know Sunforce True Colloidal Silver is indeed the recommended yellow colour, and is virtually tasteless. And the issue with my tooth root is subsiding without the use of antibiotics. Your results may vary…
Reptilian Brain Characteristics
re: /interesting-week-for-vladimir-putin-and-donald-trump/#comment-327007
Yeah, we hear about the ‘reptilian brain’, although most don’t take to the David Icke space invaders line.
Icke is interesting listen to also and says some interesting and true things, as do some others, such as LaRouche (who announced when Bush was being crazy that he himself would have to become the acting president) , who exhibits self aggrandizement, or an imitation of it. I have wondered now and then if it isn’t an act, so as to labeled a nutter and provide some insulation from attacks by the rulers of the matrix, since many think it’s poor form to attack screwballs.
Or maybe they are screwballs — but that doesn’t mean they are always wrong or can’t be learned from, if due caution is exercised.

Oddly, it doesn’t take a herpetologist to see a bit of reptile in all of us, but many resist seeing the predominance of the mode in our fearless leaders.
I was going to post a reply in the other thread about all the anti reptile prejudice and demonization of them by commenters there who were attributing all sorts of human negative characteristics upon them. But then I saw the mod off topic warning edit and figured the effort would have been trashed….
Reptiles are cool. If it hadn’t been for that damn comet, we mammals would still be slinking about at night looking for grubs, while Reptilicus Sapiens Sapiens would be lounging about at cafés discussing the primitive functions of the mammalian brain.
;D
It isn’t so much reptiles which are a problem, as reptiles with TV studios, RPGs and fighter jets (chemical weapons they already have).
Dinosaurs had a chance to get big brains but instead they grew wings turned into birds. Maybe it wasn’t such a bad choice after all, considering what us big-brains are doing.
Reptiles are cool. When I was living in the M.E. I had a small very cute pink lizard that shared my apartment, usually adorning a wall, and which kept the flies in balance. Perfect symbiosis.
Plus there’s nothing wrong with slinking about at night looking for grubs; we essentially do the same thing, swapping grubs for an artificial and treacherous construct called money and swapping night for day generally.
What’s the point of having a huge brain if all it does is create better ways to lie, kill each other and worse -the planet? Really, what is the point? Someone tell me.
The point may be that it enabled you to ask that question – the beginning of the possibility of change.
Remember this everyone, Franzian BOPC (Beginning Of the Possibility of Change) era has just started from zero, triggered by the SanctuaryOne catalyst event. Forget Jurassic, Devonian etc. periods, we are now in the Franzian era.
Next this Franzian ‘time’ will need to incubate, transmogrify and actually effect positive change. And quick like.
From decades ago I recall a sci-fi short story called something like “Grandma’s lie soap”. When applied this caused politicians and other unsavoury types to only tell the truth.
Clearly, it is just what is needed for all these pathological liars who run the world and to cut through the dense layers of propaganda within which people are cocooned. Recipe anyone?
Understand that objective truth exists and then strive to live it and within it?
Sure looks like a workingman’s cafe. It’s going to take work to stop war so let’s get to it.
Let’s try to face facts and not play the fake news game. The fact that we disagree is evident. Some people love war. War is an addiction. War causes terrible suffering. War has been going on for a long time and shows no sign of abating. The cause of war has not been addressed except in commonplace platitudes.
I oppose war in principle. But in practice we may be forced to make war out of self-defense as is the case with present day Russia. This vineyard is opposed to war. It relies mostly on analysis and pro-Russian information, and believes that war is roughly 85% informational. I participate here in order to stop war, and I assume, except for those spectators who treat war as entertainment, sport or finance, that most of us here want to stop war.
I think it’s important to clarify our positions as much as humanly possible with reason, recognizing that war is coloring our perception and is deeply embedded in our unconscious. It’s a truism that to solve global war we have to act locally with our own person and in this community with each other.
I don’t know what has been said so far at this cafe. I’m going to engage with the talk at the closing part of the former cafe on a particular conversation between myself and Bro 93 mainly, with a short exchange with Prometeus. Let this conversation prime the more general energy and reprise the relevant information from the past on the part of so many others who shared their time and energy for the cause.
Bro, I enjoyed your references to Jerry Kramer. Old # 64 warmed the cockles of my heart when he and Fuzzy Thurston led the end run for Paul Hornung. The Pack had an important influence on my life, although I now avoid that type of sport addiction. Your image of a safety slamming into a running back is a brave one. I wish I could remember the name of the Packer safety, I think right safety, a black player who had a different skill. Instead of slamming he had the finesse of taking a fullback or halfback down by going under him to sweep them off their feet in a split second. Maybe because of his color back in that day but I don’t believe he was recognized like the white Larry Wilson. I remember him though vividly.
Bro, I’m glad you’re holding back less. Your style is still cautiously opaque which is not exactly slamming yet. Despite your efforts to back off you are still supporting me from a different direction, and I hope that I am supporting you. You do not come out and say it directly but I think you did compare me to Rasputin. I consider this a complement for the celebrity factor but it is simply not factual but pure fantasy. I consider that a bait and hook which I can ill afford to bite on.
Also me to parse your statements as you certainly may do mine. Let us mine the gold within. You say “sex is not the essence of love.” It might be helpful if you would give a reason for that counter-statement. My impression is that you are a broad reader but not a close one, judging by all that I have said about why I think sex is the essence of love.
You make statements such as I am programming myself as if that is abnormal. Don’t all of us do that? Perhaps I am seeing myself in you but still, that is indirect communication.
In that same vein, you say I am an “old cyber flasher.” You resort to a extremely provocative image that is not factual or fair. A flasher is someone, usually a male who exposes his genitals in public. I think you mean that I am exposing my politically incorrect views on sex but if that is so why don’t you say that rather invoke this inflammatory falsehood?
Here’s an example of your failure to do close reading. I’m not saying you are purposely misreading but something rather unusual is going on. You say I promote matriarchy. This is patently false. I have said repeatedly that I don’t think there ever was a true matriarchy. Even if you equate matriarchy with modern feminism, I never have promoted it or ever will.
Here’s another example of your slippery misleading imagery. “…free, communal love…” I have repeatedly spoken of communal love as well-governed and safe. Never free and if you search for something like that in my data base, please give the whole context. If I searched yours, I could give a few of these untrue emotionally loaded terms like groping and rolling in the hay.
In your latest post, you imply I agree with “Change your partners, do si do!” That’s a complete misreading of my work and to be quite frank, a slur upon it.
I get that you are defending monogamy. You have every right to do so. It does have its uses, especially in time of war when stability is advantageous. I believe monogamy is a patriarchal creation. Do I not have the right to say so? I have given my arguments for this. I place it in a context covering 100,000 years–and even beyond.
You suggest that I am a utopian and communist. I am not. There is no way I can reason with fake news like this precisely because it is fake to begin with. I am not attacking you but honestly deflecting your misrepresentations. You are free to call me to account for my statements and we can proceed from there. If at any point we shut down the communication whether we are moderators or not, we are not stopping war but augmenting it.
I have read enough of Tolstoy to know that he was not a happy or realistic personality. I do not intend to be like him, thank you. You say:”thank Dennis Leary and Leo Tolstoy for taking such opposite positions.” This confuses me. Could you expand on what you mean. Tolstoy’s life was hardly a recommendation for monogamy.
To call me “General Leary of the Love Army” is pure hocus-pocus. I have denied it and said the opposite.
Bro, I would love to communicate with you but if that is to happen within the parameters of stopping war we need to do close reading of each other and of others who join in. This may be painful and threatening but there is no other way. We come from different backgrounds and mindsets; that is a plus. We need proper boundaries, more subtle and nuanced than that provided by moderators.
If we proceed on this course there are dangers and pitfalls. I need a supportive community of competent peers. I need people like you and so many others who give me and this community feedback. If you would do to me what I just did to you I would be grateful to be called out on my BS. But assertion that it is so does not make it so. You speak of true care which complements reason and logic. Let’s just do it.
If I thought monogamy was stopping war I’d say it. But is it? I don’t say it because the evidence for that is unconvincing. The wars continue and so does monogamy.
Prometeus, you say orgasmic sex is not natural, reversing my statement. Your reason apparently is that it’s OK for animals but not humans. I think you said something like Christ inverted the natural order. I must be misunderstanding you. This is one of those encounters that would best be entered into face to face over a long period of time. We don’t have that option. But we can have true care for each other as we explore the unknown spaces between us.
I love you all and look forward to our mutual efforts at stopping war.
(Dennis and Bro,since Dennis has a website.Might it be a better idea to use that site to discus subjects not really involving points raised on the Vineyard. While true the Cafe is setup to let us bring up subjects not always covered on the different threads. I think the idea behind the Cafe is still to post on subjects more involved with general type Vineyard topics.MOD)
Thanks for the feedback. I get your point. My website is not a blogging one but more of data base. I thought I was addressing the point of “stopping war” but perhaps I was mistaken.
Dennis going back one Cafe, sober comments and well taken points.
Sincerity for sure.
Humor and irony? It’s ok that you’re rarely in that mood.
Just wanted you to know your energy exceeds mine, but I did stay up late to go 1 Cafe back.
I’ll try to go back one more, but meanwhile another is about to open for Day 2 Friday morning.
Do you get that it’s tough to keep up?? Especially when comprehension falls off and fatigue sets in?? A lot of attention has been given to much of what you have written, for over a year. Fairly generous attention, really, under the circumstances of curiosity mixed with general perplexity and non-comprehension, by those of us that are really hard to annoy with preaching, if other skills compensate. In that regard you did much better with some defenders and listeners and than most IMHO. G’night, sleep tight..

Mickey Huff – Episode 76
https://store.counterpunch.org/mickey-huff-episode-76/
[Links to past shows at first link]
This week Eric sits down with Mickey Huff, Director of Project Censored, to discuss fake news, the narrative surrounding Trump and the “Deep State,” and the rightward trajectory of US politics. The conversation begins with a discussion about fake news: how it was popularized by Clinton and the DNC and is now a potent weapon in the hands of Trump. From there, Eric and Mickey discuss the danger Trump represents both now and into the future as the far right grows its power. The mainstreaming of the concept of “the Deep State” and the problem with the conversation around it. The discussion also probes how the fascist right and the Trump administration are using victimhood and manufactured oppression as weapons in their political and ideological war, the importance of activism and media literacy, the debate about force in confronting the far right, and so much more. Don’t miss this wide-ranging conversation this week on CounterPunch Radio!

http://gcml.org/about-the-gcmlp/
In 2015, The Global Critical Media Literacy Project (GCMLP) was created under the Media Freedom Foundation’s non-profit umbrella by Project Censored, the Action Coalition For Media Education, and Sacred Heart University’s Media Literacy and Digital Culture graduate program. The GCMLP provides pedagogy and curricular models for educators working in a variety of disciplines. The GCMLP, which will be housed on participating campuses, empowers and engages students with meaningful learning and an educational pathway from junior college to graduate school and an opportunity for civic engagement in their communities.
The GCMLP and its participants will offer the following:
• critical media literacy classroom activities and assignments provided to educators at no expense, vetted by academic experts
• student- and faculty-generated content edited by academic experts for publication on the GCMLP website and in Project Censored’s annual report on the top news stories that corporate media have ignored, misrepresented, or censored
• a service-learning component to participating faculty’s curricula, in which students collaborate with one another and with faculty to produce works for publication: local investigative journalism, Validated Independent News stories, Internet memes, and solutions-based videos, in addition to analysis of advertising, news abuse, and junk food news
• student clubs, created in collaboration with participating faculty, that sponsor events to share student work and raise awareness about the GCMLP and problems in media
• a steady stream of news and news analysis on the GCMLP website
• an annual GCMLP conference in which students, faculty, and contributors share their work and engage in collaborative action to improve both the GCMLP and critical media education

As we are talking health and alternate therapies, I will add my bit.
As my surgeries last year involved treatment for bowel cancer (all gone – so don’t worry) I want to share info that came from my very holistic thinking GP (not the specialist).
That is, to eat ‘resistant starch’ — easy — cold cooked potato, cold cooked pasta, greenish bananas, freeka grain etc.
Check out the CSIRO and the ‘hungry microbiome’ video for good gut health.
http://www.csiro.au/hungrymicrobiome/
I mentioned resistant starch to a few doctors and none of them ever heard of it. They didn’t even know the difference between soluble and insoluble fiber. A lot of them are amazingly ignorant.
You what they call the person who graduated dead last from medical school? …. Doctor.
But they are pretty good at getting perks offered by the drug salesmen.
That’s what we get from the industrialized, financialized, health care business.
US doctors get less than 20 hours of nutrition instruction.

Iran’s Ahmadinejad Throws Weight Behind Trump’s Tough Stance against Washington’s Political Elites, Media
He wrote a 3,500 word letter to Trump which included this gem.
“The great men of history have paid the highest level of respect to women and recognized their God-given capabilities. Women’s role in the life and perfection of human society is special and in the best and highest form. Women’s management in domains of science, society, culture, etc. has been among the most precise and excellent.
We all understand the deep concept of unrivaled motherly love, the unique kindness of a sister and the irreplaceable position of a wife.”
This is from a ‘rogue’ country that according to the West ‘disrespects women’.

The Oscar “mistake” is an unimportant example of Fake News, it is a way to draw attention to an American marketing event of no importance, so that people who haven’t paid attention to it are forced to hear about it as “news”. [expletive deleted] hollywood.
Absolutely true what you say. And the commenters on this link I gave make the same point as you.
It did seem very staged and fake. Given this was a performance from Hollyweird – you think they’d do a better job!
It’s almost that they think they are so smart, they need to leave clues to be sure everyone “gets it”.
What is despicable is the NATO- funded White Helmet/ISIS fraud winning best documentary.

Ukrainian Interior Minister Arsen Avakov said that there was “quick release plan for Donbass”.
“We have a very specific plan for Donbass, that, if the will of the Putin regime to reach a real settlement shall take place under pressure from the West, we have a plan that will be implemented,” – he assured.
“I am familiar with the real plans of our diplomats who are working on this situation. I, as one who has spent too much time in the zone and understand what is happening there, also take an active part”, – said the head of the Interior Ministry.
In addition, he added that, in his opinion, Ukraine is “in a period of time when this issue can be resolved quickly and solved by diplomatic means, not [necessarily] by military means.”

Is it a rumor or are there really a number of German speaking Friends of Saker in the Cafe?
for all of you here: Mundo’s Week in addition to Saker’s of yesterday
http://mundanestagebuch.blogspot.de/2017/02/27.html
for the English-speaking community – see you on Wednesday
I understand that Saker magazine is basically about affairs around Russia, USA, Europe, and middle east countries.
But I hope the editors are going to look into our issues as well, this year.
Since there are serious human rights abuses we ordinary Japanese citizens are getting, under a dictator Shinzo Abe and the colonial ruler USA.
By this time, I tend to call attention to two specific issues ongoing, which urgent.
Firstly, Osprey issue.
This is a total glitch chopper, which Washington dares not fly over their own citizens.
Which even Israel refused to buy.
It is a matter of time unless the chopper is fallen down on some of us.
While this is a really urgent issue, human rights violation, no one takes notice, even UN has been ignoring for years, why is that?
If we are abandoned? No human being?
Secondly, an arrested Okinawan man Hiroji Yamashiro.
He’s an anti-US base activist, been detained for some minor charge since last October, under the oppression of Abe government.
This is nothing but human rights abuse, overt harassment on anti-US base action.
I remember, when there was a country called Soviet, I’d read a book that was asking for sending a letter to any Soviet prison WITH some name of an actual prisoner detained.
The book was saying that even such a foreign letter from far abroad is going to change the harsh treatment over each detainee.
That description made me surprised.
I didn’t send a letter to Soviet prison because I was only a school girl by then.
But I still remember, and now is the time the same thing horrible is happening in my country Japan.
Give us help, please do something to save him, give him help.
I believe that fukushima radiation poisoning of your land, water, air, and food is the most importnat problem for Japan.
It’s about the colonialism too.
Maintaining nuclear plant is a will of USA.
Making local people exposed to radiation is also a will of USA, so to collect f*cking DATA.
Human experiment data for radiation exposure, like USA used to practice on Japan 71 years ago.
We are bunch of guinea pigs in the US colony.
Osprey as well.
That’s another experiment of the glitch chopper, an experiment that USA can’t carry out over any other country but Japan.
We are not considered to be human beings.
You better learn what is going on in my country, then speak.
If you hike in a forest (or anywhere else in nature), a a”rule of the thumb” is.
Sit still, don’t talk, no abrupt movement for appr. 20 minutes, and anything living that normally would move or go about their business would do so.
We make a lot of noise when we trample through nature, especially in groups, where some people tend to talk a lot (most of the time), and see almost nothing.
Hidden pun intended.
Reward for following the simple rule (binoculars comes in handy), could be this:

I recommended people watch “Crimea, the Way Back Home”.
My comment was how important I found this documentary, and how it had helped me better understand the “Maidan” – as these issues were not reported by the controlled fake stream media in my country at the time.
So watching this really well produced and informative doco opened my eyes to more background of the Ukrainian/Crimea/Donbass issue.

An Anonymous commenter stated on the Scott’s Corner “Communists and Socialism” that human beings are innately communist.
/communists-and-socialism/#comment-327067
That led me back to a comment I read sometime ago about a survey conducted by Social Science students as a group assignment where they asked respondents a series of questions about their more important values. As reported, the survey was conducted following academic rules for such exercises and the study was supervised by the university teaching staff.
The results gave a very clear answer to the question: are people inherently communist? Yes, overwhelming so since over 80% (I can’t recollect the exact figure) of the sample professed the values associated with the communist ideology. I presume the 20% who did not agree with those values were the respondents from elite gentlemen clubs, chic shopping galleries and residents of exclusive estates.
I recall any anthropological studies conducted all over the world among peoples not yet contaminated by “civilization”, namely the endogenous populations of the Amazon, Inuit, Australian Aborigines, Papuan, Melanesian and other isolated peoples, as well as accounts of those peoples at the time of their encounter with their future oppressors. The outstanding feature common to most “pre-civilization” groups is that they did not have the concept of private property, the cornerstone of capitalism. Their lives where essentially social and the ego element was guided towards the common good.
It therefore reinforces the view well expressed by Rousseau’s Noble Savage of human beings being instinctively, materially and culturally dependent on and part of the social milieu. Note in particular the long socialization state of dependence until adulthood compared to all other living organisms.
Therefore it follows that the appropriation of goods, land, animals and other chattels beyond one’s life needs is abhorrent to the human condition and was normatively imposed from outside the group, usually by conquest or acculturation, (soldiers and priests) which implies a coercive factor behind our concept of private property and hence our laws and social norms stressing the sanctity of private property and its perpetuation through inheritance and the myriad of rules for the protection and promotion of private wealth.
” … human beings are innately communist.”
Absolutely. But unfortunately the communist parties are not communist but elitist.
“I recall any anthropological studies conducted all over the world among peoples not yet contaminated by “civilization”,” – funny, as if those who come from the “civilization” were not humans, weren’t they ? I’m saying this because of the human character. Precisely, Adam and Eve, back in heaven could be characterized as “innately communists”, but since they have fallen from Heaven, there is Cain and Abel. Cain cannot be named as “innately communist” by far. He is rather the first example of a capitalist mentality. Later on, the tribes have been formed. They used to share everything within the tribe but, suddenly, another tribe came against them and took their goods because they were stronger and wanted more. What followed is history as we know it. The problem is that the humanity does not learn how to deal with personal property and the common property, how to make a real, logical and just balance without harming anyone and without harming the nature.
Fascinating intersection of history.
Tesla. The Bush Family, and the Trump family.
Here is a link detailing the role George Scherf Jr played in the death of Tesla and the theft of some of his most important technologies.
Scherf became better known to the American people as CIA Director,* Vice President and later, President, GWH Bush.
http://www.human-resonance.org/veil.html
Until a few days ago, this NYT article contained a paragraph on how John Trump (uncle of DJT) was called in to evaluate Telsa’s papers. It’s been memory holed in just the last week! Astonishing!
http://www.nytimes.com/1985/02/26/us/john-trump-dies-engineer-was-78.html
Anyway, there are still publications that detail the link between Uncle Trump and Tesla. Here’s one: http://physicstoday.scitation.org/do/10.1063/PT.5.9068/full
It’s only got one relevant sentence:
______ “In 1943, after the enigmatic Nikola Tesla’s death, the Federal Bureau of Investigation asked Trump to examine Tesla’s papers to determine whether he had been working on anything that might have relevance to the war. Trump found that he had not”.________
The article I read as recently as last week contained a whole lot more detail about Trumps investigation of Teslas work and the subsequent release of some of Telsa’s papers to his nephew. Maybe someone can retrieve it from the memory hole. (I know how recollections fade and can be deceived over time, but I read this only last week… My mental acuity has not yet been so affected that I can’t recall something I read less than a week ago!)
I find it fascinating how we are seeing the Revelation/ unmasking of the Demons. And how Trump, the chameleon, is now at the helm. Which way will Fate turn? Fascinating.
* Why does the US (media) make such a “big deal” over Putin being ex-KGB when Bush is ex-CIA? (rhetorical/ridiculous question).
@White whale
Funny you should mention about Tesla —
Wilhelm Reich was known to have been writing a Book entitled “Creation” when he unexpectedly died of cancer (the usual CIA way) in Lewisburg Federal Prison (1957).
The BOP claims it was not among his effects.
I would like to ask the wisdom of this cafe community for recommendations for internet security.
What cyber-protection do you use?
My strategy thus far for visiting targeted sites ((and let’s be real, Saker site would definitely attract “interest” from the Demons)) has been to use an obsolete tablet (with nothing on it – no apps or email)
But just recently it has started to “gum” up,all the time…. . .? I suspect a tracker or something nasty has installed itself….
So what way to protect home computer (which I don’t use to visit these sites) and other devices??
Whatever kind of security you use, you need up-to-date backup, and that’s also for when the drive crashes or the computer spews magic smoke. You also have to be able to scan the backup in case they are infected, and you have redundancy and two or more backups at different time periods so you can go back to yesterday, 3 days ago, last week, etc. Backups should usually be physically isolate from the computer (which can stop damage from lightning strikes).
A couple-three big USB drives can go a long way to helping with this.
The key is not being certain of stopping any damage — you can never get that — but limiting the amount of damage a hit can do.
For protection software, Malwarebytes is pretty decent. But if you run Windows malware is largely superfluous — it gums itself up.

Russian Foreign Minister Receives Black Belt in YOLO
Sergei Lavrov is the hero of our times
|Paul Kaiser 19 hours ago | 3,519 views|
We love this man
It’s time to recognize a man. Not just any ordinary man. A hero. And not just any hero. A hero who told Mike Pence, straight to his smarmy, florescent face that Russia was going to end the U.S.-led world order.
This is a hero who stepped up to a podium and reminded Angela Merkel that her “ally” had tapped her phones.
(Usually when Merkel wants a thorough spanking she needs to pay an East German dominatrix. But our hero is also a gentleman who would never accept money for doing a good deed.)
Yes, this demigod is known by us mere mortals as Sergei Lavrov. He is the foreign minister of the Russian Federation, and he knows that You Only Live Once. He actually has a black belt in this ancient eastern martial art.
More recently, Lavrov (okay, he is probably too busy dispensing verbal wedgies to western leaders; but we can dream) created a new section on the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website, where he (okay, probably an intern) brands dumb western articles with giant “FAKE” stamps. Yes, there is now an entire section of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s website dedicated to this ultimate YOLO troll-task:

Azarov’s Bombshell: Ukrainian Ex-PM Reveals Who Was Behind Maidan Sniper Deaths
https://sputniknews.com/europe/201702221050940444-azarov-maidan-sniper-deaths-investigation/
“In a detailed post on his Facebook page on Tuesday, complete with photo and video evidence, Azarov dropped a bombshell, writing that “today we, and investigators in Kiev as well, have reliable information about the fact that the murders on the Maidan were carried out by special groups of snipers from Georgia, the Baltic countries and Poland, under the guidance of instructors from France and Germany.”
These groups, Azarov said, “were provided with cover and diversionary actions by shooters from the ‘Maidan Self-Defense’ group under the direction of [Andriy] Parubiy and [Serhiy] Pashinsky,” the former now serving as speaker of Ukraine’s parliament, and the latter an MP and former interim head of the presidential administration.
Going into more detail, Azarov explained that “the Georgian group, consisting of 10 people, was placed in the Conservatory building [which overlooks Maidan Square]. The identities of three of them have been confirmed by photographs taken by Ukrainian Security Forces staff, and it has been established that they are Georgian nationals. On February 20, [2014] this group divided into two. One of them fired from the Conservatory Building, the other from the Hotel Ukraine Building.”
“It is also assumed that a third group of professional shooters was involved in the mass killings, who in the space of only 30 minutes shot over 50 people in cold blood from the building on Gorodetsky street and were immediately moved out of the area,” the ex-politician added.”
I’m a little bit surprised that till now, nobody reacted to this news. I really hope that it will not go down the river unobserved because it is an important statement, knowing the events and what follow up after that, till today. Thanks for sharing it with us !
Avoiding misperception? State Dept deletes Twitter post congratulating Iranian Oscar winner
https://www.rt.com/usa/378857-state-department-tweet-farhadi/
“The State Department’s official Persian-language Twitter account, @USAdarFarsi, initially sent congratulations to both the Iranian people and the director of The Salesman, Farhadi, after his powerful drama won an Oscar on Sunday.
According to screenshots circulating on Twitter, the @USAdarFarsi account posted the congratulatory message around 1am EST. The text was then deleted.”
The tuppence regime state dept. appears to be as gay as the previous one, and still full of neocon detritus.

Big budget cuts proposed at State Department.
http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2017-02-28/trump-proposes-cutting-state-department-budget-37
“”One month ago, a media frenzy broke out after the WaPo reported of mass voluntary resignations at the State Department, to protest the arrival of Rex Tillerson. Shortly after, it was revealed that not only was it not a “mass resignation” (there were only four high level resignation) but it was all procedural, meant to streamline the transition from one administration to the next.
However, the bloodbath at the State Department – for years Hillary Clinton’s kingdom, and populated with many pro-Clinton staffers – may have been merely deferred because as AP reports, the Trump administration is proposing deep cuts in spending for diplomacy and foreign aid programs to help pay for increased military spending.
Officials familiar with the proposal say it calls for slashing more than a third, or 37%, of the State Department and the U.S. Agency for International Development budgets. Development assistance would take the biggest hit.
In the current fiscal year, the State Department and USAID got $50.1 billion, a little more than 1 percent of the total federal budget. As AP sources add, a 37-percent cut would likely require reductions in staff, including security contractors at diplomatic missions abroad.””
For those of us taking an interest – USAID funded a lot of the liberal 5th columnists creating probs for Putin in 2012 election. | There’s a you tube of some on the payroll reporting for duty at the US embassy. (awkward moments – like candid camera, for them!)|
Interesting.
I think the Special Activities Division of the CIA is run from the DoS, as well as USAID.
This looks like a slow fiscal squeeze on the capacity of the State Department to run a non-accountable foreign ‘policy’ through ‘diplomatic’ channels – NGOs etcetera, and instead hand control back to the Pentagon.
But if the Pentagon is in turn run by hawks, equally corrupt and non-accountable, it won’t make any difference.

It’s not difficult to see that war is one of our major problems. It’s not even too hard to discover the deep causes of war if we are motivated to do so. What is difficult is to see who are the players since they operate in secrecy. I’m not talking about the obvious ones like corporate heads.
I’m referring to deep unconscious drivers and historical forces that have been operating on this planet for a good 75,000 years. I’m not concerned with speculative theories such as extraterrestrials, reptilians or gods and demi-gods. I believe these are distractions.
I start with Anglos and Zionists as most of you do. In relatively recent times Anglos go back to the Roman Empire and Zionists go back to the Jewish nation. Both of these powers are patriarchal, in the literal sense of rule by patriarchal fathers. The term “gentile” derives from “gens,” stemming from the Roman ruling families. The term “patriarch” dates from the stories of Abraham, David and so on.
The Romans were quite tolerant of other customs and religions as long as they paid their taxes and did not rebel. The Jews were intolerant and fought to the death against the Greek and Roman empires. It is estimated that the Romans lost 50,000 men in their Vespasian and Titus Jewish wars, a huge cost. It was also humiliating for the Romans and set a bad example for others.
The Romans destroyed the temple in 70 AD and destroyed more about seventy years later in another war. Many of the fierce Jewish fighters dispersed during these times. The Romans had a hand in writing the “pro-Roman” gospels and Pauline Christology as a psychological operation against the Jews. Constantine finally flat out made Christianity the state religion to counter the Jews.
The Jews hated the Romans and adopted the strategy of asymmetrical warfare and control of the financial and trade networks. With time the Anglo-Romans and Jews reached a stand-off but the distrust, revenge and hatred remained in the dark depths.
They were bonded like brothers by their common patriarchal roots and values but they hated each other and awaited the day when one would become king of the mountain. Both groups obtain their power by killing which they must constantly prove to themselves and each other. It started with the killing and eating of animals but soon turned against women who were made slaves and slave-producers for empire.
Fast-forward to today. There is a huge blow-back going on from women in the form of “feminarchy.” The karmic debts are being called in. The social justice amazons are on the warpath to feminize men through state power via the vote. They hate “the patriarchy.”
But wait. Not so fast. It’s not that simple. Women are being used as proxies in the great patriarchy war, just as they always have been. The Roman Anglos use women in a great variety of ways as homemakers, equality false flags and tax-payers for the system. The Zionists do the same but have added a whole new wrinkle with proxy refugees that the Anglos have largely created. To create their greater Israel they intend to destroy the Anglos and their whole “Western Civilization.” Guess which group will arise from those ashes. One great Jewish State.
The deep state Anglos know the game. They control the military and the “white male” lesser patriarchs on the pyramid. The white male nobles hire the Rothchild’s who now believe they are in a position to be kings of the mountain. After all, they control the money and therefore pay the army.
As always it comes down to blood in this blood feud. Who is the biggest killer? The Romans were fierce fighters but so were the Jews. Violence runs in the blood of patriarchy and the most violent win. Women, children and animals are the sacrifices that prove manhood by the patrix rules.
The unknown factor now is whether the military or the monetary has more blood on their hands and in this game of chicken is willing to spill the most blood.
Another way to view this epic struggle is through the lens of religion. Speaking symbolically and in terms of depth psychology it’s going to come down to an Armageddon contest between Christianity and Zionity, between the old Romans and the old Zio-zealots.
Another lens is culture. The culture of traditional Western Civilization and the new culture of secularism and technology. The archetypes here are God and God-less. Remember that I’m talking about depth Signs and Signals that operate below consciousness. A helpful contrast here is between Pope and President, one a stand-in for God and the other for separation from God a la the surface separation of church and state
The Papacy is a big player for its Sign value. Lenin downplayed this by joking about how many divisions the Pope had. That’s not the point. He controls by mind-control and has as much power in that area as all presidents combined. Even in a splintered Christianity he’s the oldest patriarch standing and proves it by his male organization. He’s (note gender) the envy and model of patriarchs everywhere despite their resistance to him.
The Jews play the secular President Card well but underneath they itch to install their Messiah in Jerusalem. The Roman and Holy Roman Pope is their nemesis. Long memories do not forget the patrix thirst for revenge.
What I’ve said so far is relatively not very important. So we go up in toast. So what? Death is in our cards. But life is the whole deck. Think graveyard for perspective. Something else is going on that is far more lasting and important and it has nothing to do with “heaven” or “hell.”
Patriarchy, whether Anglo, Zio or Bio, is a passing, minor aberration for the sake of freedom in a universe of love. That’s my main interest which I share so fitfully and foolishly here. This site is quite patriarchal but do I throw out the baby with the bathwater? No, because we all swim in the slime of patriarchy. I am the biggest patriarch of all, having served it by priesthood in both old age and new age religions and working in two careers for the biggest patriarchal corporations in the world: the Catholic Church and US Government Veterans Administration as a registered nurse. It takes one to know one.
I write like this primarily to educate myself in a community of competent peers. This site is about as good as it gets since it has the brains and balls to align itself with the most benign patriarchal force on the planet, Russia, the land of the brave. Whether Russia goes the way of the American Indian braves remains to be seen. “We few, we happy few…” write and fight so that will not happen.
Hi, Dennis. I wonder where from comes your basic information about those 75.000 years past culture and what are the proofs that are real ? does maybe somebody have a time-machine ? or it’s just you and you didn’t tell us about your discovery ? You are stuck with the patriarchy theory while the world and humanity is moving on various paths. You may forget that there are humans with souls, wearing a spiritual weight with them all over the course of history ( or time ). The humans – and each individual in particular – are on way of learning, sometimes ascending, sometimes descending, in their earthly struggle. One forgets that a human spirit is not a female or a male but ” you are like angels in the Heaven” – says the Scripture. The wars are not because of men and women and their sexual behavior, nor because the humans are eating animals (by the way, even the fruits and vegetables are living and have conscience) , but because of the free will given by God. The man, being “as one of Us” – Genesis 3:22 – has discovered his power and is exercising it over his brothers till today in the wrong way. The history shows us the same, yet in different stages and circumstances. The sexuality is the joy of the body, that body is returning to the soil, it’s being dropped like an old coat (or a young one by case). The spiritual body has nothing to do with physical sex. But the longing after sex is the same as longing after a good portion of roasted beef (with the difference that some sexual approach can lead you in big trouble – in some cases leading to crime, family broke or suicide) What you would refer to, is the brotherhood in love – which is spiritual. The men and women in a sexual act, is there because – like any animals and living creatures – to provide a new born body for a new born soul, who waits for his coming on the earth to fulfill his/her fate. And there is an ultimate fate : to achieve the reunification in love and knowledge within the scope of Creation.
amen ioan
and we found that even beyond the child
there is a deep crazy overwhelming given sex
with God’s daughter and every sex beyond then
has it’s place but in the less centered realms
and love is behind and beyond the body
Hi, ioan. I would reply to your questions and assertions if I could but I cannot. In this cafe above I engaged in a lengthy conversation with Bro 93 but was informed that it was not proper. Even for this cafe it was off topic. It was suggested that we talk at my website; however, my website is not set up for comments or chatting because it is data base. But there is an email contact if that suits you. Btw, I have addressed most of your questions at this site but I have no evidence that anyone read them with serious intent so it becomes a matter of not wasting my energy. The answers are in the archives here somewhere but like I said– my energy is limited. The same holds for my extensive data base at thelovegovernment.com. Thanks.

I like ioan’s essay. A lot! That brings me back like the DL loveabys that used to be spun like glistening webs in the evening vineyard dews. Here’s to Both, really. Reflecting on ioan’s steadfast shining I was inspired to search it out after many years……… Yet, something here for Dennis, too, in my mind. See if it fits:
Bright Star John Keats
Bright star, would I were steadfast as thou art—
Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night
And watching, with eternal lids apart,
Like nature’s patient, sleepless Eremite,
The moving waters at their priestlike task
Of pure ablution round earth’s human shores,
Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask
Of snow upon the mountains and the moors—
No—yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,
Pillow’d upon my fair love’s ripening breast,
To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,
Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,
Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,
And so live ever—or else swoon to death.
“Born in London, England, on October 31, 1795, John Keats devoted his short life to the perfection of poetry marked by vivid imagery, great sensuous appeal and an attempt to express a philosophy through classical legend. In 1818 he went on a walking tour in the Lake District. His exposure and overexertion on that trip brought on the first symptoms of the tuberculosis, which ended his life.
Keats arrived in Rome in November of that year and for a brief time started to feel better. But within a month, he was back in bed, suffering from a high temperature. The last few months of his life proved particularly painful for the poet.
His doctor in Rome placed Keats on a strict diet that consisted of a single anchovy and a piece of bread per day in order to limit the flow of blood to the stomach. He also induced heavy bleeding, resulting in Keats suffering from both a lack of oxygen and a lack of food.
Keats’ agony was so severe that at one point he pressed his doctor and asked him, “How long is this posthumous existence of mine to go on?” Feb 23, 1821 26 years total.

And looked up pigweed — https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranthus_palmeri
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaranth_grain
and it’s highly edible and nutritional (better in some ways than the usual grains), although it has to be handled and cooked properly. It is also very drought resistant.
There is lots of information on the web about it.
I also found
https://sustainableag.wordpress.com/tag/waterhemp/
which is a different species of amaranth. I found much less information, but it looks it’s also edible.
It looks like the ‘superweed’ problem is actually a ‘super-stupid’ or ‘super-ignorant’ and super-capitalism problem. Typical of the dumbed down US. I had never heard of amaranth before — like many ‘alternative’ foods, the knowledge is obscured. .

Important notice (for me anyway).
I would have thought that all the brilliant brains and analysts in here would have an interest in graphical expression by Russian artists during the last Century.
I do have digital copies of appr. 4000 Russian posters from various decennium, 1917 – 1939 and further and divided into Cultural – War – Social – Art, and more categories. Many will be in fairly high resolution, and some will be smaller.
I am perfectly willing to share all of these.
However, since it requires quite a bit of work to make them accessible for you, and others, I really need some feedback.
Here is just one small example, made available today. 1917 (Cirka), “Social”. 93 pictures.

As one who borrowed a .22 rifle once to shoot an older TV (a deep one with a CRT tube) I would caution about getting too close. I was at the side and there was a time delay between the screen shattering with implosion and the glass spraying out. The glass shards went a good 15 feet out front.
It was an interesting experiment but perhaps more disturbingly felt rather good. I have not watched TV, except when there was no choice, since 1988 -and the better for it.
Couple Sent to Prison for Terrorizing Black Family With Guns, Confederate Flags
https://sputniknews.com/us/201703011051134656-georgia-couple-prison-terrorizing-birthday-party/
In July 2015, Kayla Norton and Jose Torres, and a group they called “Respect the Flag,” drove up to the birthday party with the battle-flag flying from their trucks and began threatening the family while shouting racial slurs. There were at least seven trucks in the convoy. Torres pointed a shotgun at the family as well as at young children present at the celebration.
The incident was part of a two-day spree by the like-minded people, driving around harassing people of color throughout the area. Several witnesses called 9-1-1 to report the group, including a witness who referred to their actions as a “hate crime,” in their call.
Norton was convicted of one count of violating Georgia’s street gang act and one count of making terroristic threats, WSB-TV reports. Torres was convicted of three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, one charge of making terroristic threats, and an additional count of violating the street gang act.
On Monday, Superior Court Judge William McClain opted to hand down sentences that were even longer than the state requested. Torres was sentenced to 20 years in prison, and will serve at least 13, while Norton was sentenced to 15 years, and will serve at least six. Additionally, the couple is banned from ever returning to the county, upon their release.
“Their actions were motivated by racial hatred,” Judge McClain stated during the sentencing.”
Cheers to the judge.

Love’s Time Is Slipping
Time waits for no man or woman.
So much is wasted, without love.
Some lovers words are so sincere!
Many listen long, yet cannot hear.
Shy mistresses are not at all the only ones
That puzzle suitors and are much too coy.
Some swains straight understanding shun,
And no femme or friend can read the boy!
Will all this sighing and eye lash batting,
Petting and panting and didactic ranting
Come to naught? Oh, dear God, forbid!
Make mystery plain, meaning full unhid.
Soul connect, eyes’ deepest contact,
Strip pretense away, opposites attract
When traction moves minds far along,
Ideas ring true and inspire the throng.
Or not. Why not?
“I know I am talking nonsense, but I’d rather go rambling on, and partly expressing something I find it difficult to express, than to keep on transmitting faultless platitudes.”
― Thomas Mann, The Magic Mountain
And finally for a Love Army commander:
TO HIS COY MISTRESS by Andrew Marvell
Had we but world enough and time,
This coyness, lady, were no crime.
We would sit down, and think which way
To walk, and pass our long love’s day.
Thou by the Indian Ganges’ side
Shouldst rubies find; I by the tide
Of Humber would complain. I would
Love you ten years before the flood,
And you should, if you please, refuse
Till the conversion of the Jews.
My vegetable love should grow
Vaster than empires and more slow;
An hundred years should go to praise
Thine eyes, and on thy forehead gaze;
Two hundred to adore each breast,
But thirty thousand to the rest;
An age at least to every part,
And the last age should show your heart.
For, lady, you deserve this state,
Nor would I love at lower rate.
But at my back I always hear
Time’s wingèd chariot hurrying near;
And yonder all before us lie
Deserts of vast eternity.
Thy beauty shall no more be found;
Nor, in thy marble vault, shall sound
My echoing song; then worms shall try
That long-preserved virginity,
And your quaint honour turn to dust,
And into ashes all my lust;
The grave’s a fine and private place,
But none, I think, do there embrace.
Now therefore, while the youthful hue
Sits on thy skin like morning dew,
And while thy willing soul transpires
At every pore with instant fires,
Now let us sport us while we may,
And now, like amorous birds of prey,
Rather at once our time devour
Than languish in his slow-chapped power.
Let us roll all our strength and all
Our sweetness up into one ball,
And tear our pleasures with rough strife
Through the iron gates of life:
Thus, though we cannot make our sun
Stand still, yet we will make him run.
Thanks for the poetry, refreshing the soul and mind and leaving the the troubles behind, not for long time, but anyway, for a while.
It seems to me that France is in the midst of a “state coup” of their electoral process. Both Le Pen and Fillon are being subjected to harassment by the government justice system. In a thinly veiled attempt to bring down their campaigns for the Presidency. That “should” drive their supporters into a fit of near homicidal outrage. But I see no riots and head smashing over it. That seems to only be for Liberal causes in France. As I’ve said before I consider France pretty much a “lost cause”. Not worth the trouble of dealing with. The years of Western control and millions of immigrants have destroyed the France that gave the World “Liberty,Equality,and Fraternity” as something to strive for.That France is dead.The France of tourism, police no-go zones,and “I am Charlie” is what is left. Its sad,but unless the French want freedom they can’t be forced to have it.
Since I’m ranting. I might as well include Spain in my rant.This last week, there were mass rallies in Spain supporting immigration. Yes you heard me right. With all the problems we see in France,Germany,Austria,Sweden,etc. Over 2 million brain challenged “snowflakes” in Spain were calling for “more” immigration. So I have an idea for the EU. How about funneling “all” those immigrants and all those to come to Spain. Obviously they would like that. After all much of Spain was ruled Al-Andalus for 800 or so years. They must have a desire to repeat that. So I say “kill two birds with one stone”. Make Spain happy,and make the rest of the EU happy at the same time.But I sort of feel sorry for the immigrants. Once they see that Spain has become so socially harebrained Liberal. That all the “rage” is for special rights for gays and transgender people they will be depressed.But little to worry about. As soon as they settle themselves in there in mass they will fix that problem. Introduce Sharia as the law of Spain. And those issues will be fixed quickly.The land of El Cid,Ferdinand and Isabella,and Cervantes,is long dead. The land of posters telling kids, girls with penises and boys with vagina’s is a good thing has supplanted it.
https://www.rt.com/news/378690-30-spanish-cities-refugee-march/
https://www.rt.com/viral/378952-transphobic-bus-tour-spain/
Thanks for your rants, I can strongly back them both. I saw the big march in favor of refugees in Barcelona, that city which is the capital of Catalonia and which wants to separate from Spain. What a confusion, they want to become independent and in the same time wanting to have more migrants from Africa and Middle-East. Do they feel they are so strong and can endure both things, or there is a trap in this “migration love movement” funneled by Madrid for Barcelona ? Marine Le Pen is still leading in the polls, Macron (the main and sustained contender) has the full back wind from the media, even though he made in his speeches some huge mistakes full of arrogance and lack of knowledge. Fillon is under huge pressure and is “worked” upon him, will he resist ? It looks indeed like a sleeping society, being very well led by it’s nose, pulled by strings, now in the direction of “police violence”. Those behind the strings are doing a great job. I wonder if Marie Le Pen is being mixed with the anti-police riots…cause she was attacked by “rioters” while on the bus.
Spain does not want more immigration. Spain is sevral countries in one, and Cataluna may want something, that does not mean that the rest of Spain wants it.And Spain is generally not rich enough to be an attractive destination for most immigrants, they quickly move on through Spain to France, etc…
It wasn’t only in Cataluna I read about the marches (there were more than one). All total, one report I read said there were “two million” marchers.Do you know how hard it is to get people to come out in vast numbers to march on any issue (at least that is true for most countries). I haven’t seen reports of millions of people anywhere in Europe marching against the Ukrainian junta murdering people in Donbas (for fellow Europeans at that).And not in Spain either. A country terrorized by fascism for decades,until as recent as the mid-1970’s. That would mean around 5% of Spain’s entire population was marching ,asking to commit suicide all at one time.Pretty impressive I must say.A population that brainwashed is a “jewel” for the US.So as I said the rest of Europe needs to “give them what they want”. Let them have all those immigrants.They want a new Al Andalus in Spain. And ISIS always talks of “reclaiming” Spain. So make them both happy and give those people that country.As to the migrants moving through Spain to other areas. That can be stopped pretty easy. The Pyrenees are there for a reason. After all I think it was Napoleon who said “Africa begins at the Pyrenees”. Let them have Spain,and maybe they’ll be happy and leave the rest alone.Of course,soon after,the rest of Europe would need to deal with millions of Spanish European refugees trying to escape from the “new” Spain they themselves helped create. But I’d suggest the rule of “you wanted it,you got it” be applied to those people and the borders remain sealed.If anyone wants to disagree with this rant. I suggest they can start by showing all the protests in Spain “against” the immigration. If you “can’t”,then don’t bother,”mum’s the word”.
Good article here on the harm the transgender cult is doing to kids, and the role social media plays in luring them into it:

Well, I’ll tell you — all the different cults and ideologues and extremists and liberals and conservatives and party people and what not who rant and rave about stuff without either knowledge or judgement and are so sure they understand everything because they read something on the web or someone told them or it just came to them in a dream, and think their uninformed opinions are worth a tinker’s dam, have pretty much convinced me that it’s best to just sit in my cave and be a hermit.
This guy — what does know about transgender or intersex? Has it been politicized and are people going way over the edge into lalaland? It looks like it, but this guy is no one to ask about it — he doesn’t know anything, and he’s a another flipping ideologue with a half baked opinion.
About Robert Stacy McCain
Robert Stacy McCain is a veteran journalist and conservative commentator who is also a public speaker, author and communications consultant. He is a frequent contributor to The American Spectator and is co-author (with Lynn Vincent) of Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party (2006, Nelson Current).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Stacy_McCain
Robert Stacy McCain (born October 6, 1959) is an American conservative journalist, writer, and blogger. McCain is a former assistant national editor and reporter for The Washington Times and co-author (with Lynn Vincent) of the 2006 book Donkey Cons: Sex, Crime, and Corruption in the Democratic Party. He is proprietor of the blog, The Other McCain.
The Washington Times, for cripes sake — that was trashe even before Moon bought it. Why the hell should I pay any attention to what he thinks?
” He graduated in 1983 from Jacksonville State University in Alabama. His journalism career began with the (now defunct) Cobb News-Chronicle in 1986. He then worked as a sports editor for the Marietta, Georgia-based Neighbor Newspapers, before joining the Calhoun (Ga.) Times as sports editor in September 1987. The Calhoun newspaper is a division of Rome, Georgia-based News Publishing Co.
In 1991, McCain joined the staff of the company’s flagship daily newspaper, The Rome News-Tribune, working closely with special projects/editorial page editor Pierre Rene-Noth. Frequently writing about such subjects as education and history, McCain was awarded a George Washington Honor Medal from the conservative Freedoms Foundation at Valley Forge for his 1995 series of columns about the National Standards for U.S. History.”
He cut his teeth as a sports writer — oh, yeah — just the sort of ‘expert’ I want to read about transgenderism and ‘scientism’ from.
Once member of
“The League of the South is a Southern nationalist organization, headquartered in Killen, Alabama, which states that its ultimate goal is “a free and independent Southern republic”.[1] The group defines the Southern United States as the states that made up the former Confederacy.[2] It claims to be also a religious and social movement, advocating a return to a more traditionally conservative, Christian-oriented Southern culture. It advocates a “natural societal order of superiors and subordinates”, using as an example, “Christ is the head of His Church; husbands are the heads of their families; parents are placed over their children; employers rank above their employees; the teacher is superior to his students, etc.”[3]”
And a Baptist — likely a Southern Baptist — hardly known for unbiased or clear thinking.
“McCain now identifies himself as a supporter of Austrian economic theory in the vein of Ludwig von Mises and Friedrich Hayek. He has come to believe that government imposition of broader social goals such as “social justice” cannot work out as a practical matter. He also calls himself “profoundly skeptical of radical notions of moral and political progress” in social issues, citing Edmund Burke as an influence.[13]”
He doesn’t know crap about economics! He has no medical training, or in science or biology from the looks of it, or in philosophy. A ‘journalist — who worked for a trashy MSM paper.
The guy is typical right wing nutter. Why am I wasting my time even looking at him? It’s just another ass with a cockamamie opinion — another dog in the fight. Oh, yeah — the South will Rise Again!
The Western “media” is zionist controlled to the core.And it is a zionist plan to internally destroy non-zionist societies. The weaker they become the easier it is to control them.They are the ones that push for mass immigration.That weaken’s the national structure of a country’s society.And splitting them socially in other ways is just part of the same “grand design”. A large number of the media’s “reporters”,editors,etc,are homosexual. Hence the 24/7 push in the media for “gay rights” in the West. And the vicious attacks on Russia for not joining the “crowd”.The trans-gender “movement” is just one more example of those people attacking human society.
Lets break it down to make it easy to understand. If you (anyone) is born with one type of “plumbing” ,or the other,that is what you “are”. You may think or consider yourself as either a man or women,in your “mind”. But your “plumbing” makes you one or the other,no exceptions.What you want to be,or act like in the privacy of your home. Or among like minded friends,isn’t my concern.But once you try to force society to accept you as something else,that is different. That concerns all of society. You shouldn’t be allowed to dictate to me and my family to think the “unnatural” is really “natural”. The “pro-transsexual” groups say that the suicide rate is up to 42% among those people. And that its ” society’s” fault,because they aren’t “accepted”. Did those people ever think that wanting to change nature is a type of mental disturbance. And that people with mental problems are very prone to suicide in general.Unless “we” wake up and stop these zionist destroyers,very soon we will have no “society” left for our future citizens to live in.

That simply is not true. Sexuality involves much more that the superficial physical characteristics. There are secondary, hormonal, genetics, and psychological factors that are part of it.

Psychiatrists and Clinical Sexuality
August 01, 2007 | Cultural Psychiatry, Gender Issues, Addiction
By Stephen B. Levine, MD
Any sexual behavior—normal or abnormal, masturbatory or partnered—ultimately rests on biological elements, psychological elements, interpersonal elements, and cultural concepts of normality and morality.1 The psychiatrist who develops an interest in patients’ sexual concerns will have many opportunities to build a deep understanding of these 4 elements as the physician-patient relationship evolves over time.
http://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/gender+identity+disorder
Definition
The psychological diagnosis gender identity disorder (GID) is used to describe a male or female that feels a strong identification with the opposite sex and experiences considerable distress because of their actual sex.
Description
Gender identity disorder can affect children, adolescents, and adults. Individuals with gender identity disorder have strong cross-gender identification. They believe that they are, or should be, the opposite sex. They are uncomfortable with their sexual role and organs and may express a desire to alter their bodies. While not all persons with GID are labeled as transsexuals, there are those who are determined to undergo sex change procedures or have done so, and, therefore, are classified as transsexual. They often attempt to pass socially as the opposite sex. Transsexuals alter their physical appearance cosmetically and hormonally, and may eventually undergo a sex-change operation.
Children with gender identity disorder refuse to dress and act in sex-stereotypical ways. It is important to remember that many emotionally healthy children experience fantasies about being a member of the opposite sex. The distinction between these children and gender identity disordered children is that the latter experience significant interference in functioning because of their cross-gender identification. They may become severely depressed, anxious, or socially withdrawn.
Causes and symptoms
The cause of gender identity disorder is not known. It has been theorized that a prenatal hormonal imbalance may predispose individuals to the disorder. Problems in the individual’s family interactions or family dynamics have also been postulated as having some causal impact.
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fourth Edition (DSM-IV), the diagnostic reference standard for United States mental health professionals, describes the criteria for gender identity disorder as an individual’s strong and lasting cross-gender identification and their persistent discomfort with their biological gender role. This discomfort must cause a significant amount of distress or impairment in the functioning of the individual.
DSM-IV specifies that children must display at least four of the following symptoms of cross-gender identification for a diagnosis of gender identity disorder:
a repeatedly stated desire to be, or insistence that he or she is, the opposite sex
a preference for cross-dressing
a strong and lasting preference to play make-believe and role-playing games as a member of the opposite sex or persistent fantasies that he or she is the opposite sex
a strong desire to participate in the stereotypical games of the opposite sex
a strong preference for friends and playmates of the opposite sex
Diagnosis
Gender identity disorder is typically diagnosed by a psychiatrist or psychologist, who conducts an interview with the patient and takes a detailed social history. Family members may also be interviewed during the assessment process. This evaluation usually takes place in an outpatient setting.
[…]
The idea of ‘crossdressing’ is rather involved in itself considering that it’s culturally determined and arbitrary. Yet, even in primitive or other cultures there are various behaviors and tokens associated with sex, and there have always been people who did not fit into the normal pattern, in different cultures. In some cultures they were valued as spiritual assets to the community.
There is nothing new about sexual ambiguity, and it’s not limited to humans. Trying to give an oversimplified pronouncement about it accomplishes nothing. It is not a matter of liberal or conservative ideology.
In fact, it reminds me of

More and more everything is getting big-endian vs little-endian.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lilliput_and_Blefuscu
[…]
Lilliputians broke boiled eggs on the larger end; a few generations ago, an Emperor of Lilliput, the Present Emperor’s great-grandfather, had decreed that all eggs be broken on the smaller end after his son cut himself breaking the egg on the larger end. The differences between Big-Endians (those who broke their eggs at the larger end) and Little-Endians had given rise to “six rebellions… wherein one Emperor lost his life, and another his crown”. The Lilliputian religion says an egg should be broken on the convenient end, which is now interpreted by the Lilliputians as the smaller end. The Big-Endians gained favour in Blefuscu.
The Big-Endian/Little-Endian controversy reflects, in a much simplified form, British quarrels over religion.

If you had an infected toe, what are you going to do — hobble down to the closest newspaper and ask a ‘journalist’ to look at it? A local party headquarters? A church? How about getting chronically fatigued or depressed or having migraine headaches? Yeah — so maybe a doctor won’t know and can’t help, but you got a better chance which someone who knows something of medicine than any of the others.
OK — I’ve had way beyond my quota for BS (and the human species, for that matter) today and I have to get involved with real-life stuff.
DSM-IV specifies that children must display at least four of the following symptoms of cross-gender identification for a diagnosis of gender identity disorder:
a repeatedly stated desire to be, or insistence that he or she is, the opposite sex

a strong preference for friends and playmates of the opposite sex

C/mon — apples and oranges, and how persistent and repeating was it anyway. But what’s the point?
BTW — I looked up that article about low crime in that poor Kentucky town — the link you sited is a right wing rag, and I also looked up the town and also found https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2015/nov/12/beattyville-kentucky-and-americas-poorest-towns
and it turns out it’s between 1,000 and 1.200 people on 2 square miles — hardly a statistical phenomena — and it’s also hardly crime free, with several murders, stealing and fraud, and a drug epidemic according to the sheriff. And you want this to ‘prove’ that balcks are the cause of crime and poverty has nothing to do with it.
Waste of my damn time doing the research you should have doing before you posted such trash. I’m supposed to take what you write seriously?
Please not “another” study by a Jewish doctor meant to influence public opinion for the zionist takeover of society:
“Psychiatrists and Clinical Sexuality
August 01, 2007 | Cultural Psychiatry, Gender Issues, Addiction
By Stephen B. Levine, MD”
You can bet if there is something out there to divide people. There will be some zionist supporter pushing for it
What I said was ““Lets break it down to make it easy to understand. If you (anyone) is born with one type of “plumbing” ,or the other,that is what you “are”. You may think or consider yourself as either a man or women,in your “mind”. But your “plumbing” makes you one or the other,no exceptions.” While what you are talking about is in the “mind” of people. I’m talking about a person’s “body”. At birth you are male or female. Yes, there are maybe 1 in a few hundred million people born with both types of “plumbing”. But the numbers are so small as to be meaningless.I don’t have any problem with how someone perceives “themselves”,and in “private”. But forcing others to play in their fantasy game is unacceptable to him.All it does is divide and weaken societies. Allowing zionist elements ever more power over us.We need to stop playing those games,before “identity” issues and politics destroy what little is left of our countries.
A few hundred million, or whatever the number is, means that it’s not meaningless, but real, and as I said there is lot more than just physical appearance — and I was aware of this from reading the literature over 50 years ago.
As for what you are born with — or hatched with — tell it to the frogs who have been hit with endocrine disruptors.
Everything is not zionism regardless whether that a favorite bugaboo now — at that time the zionists were still trying cobble together the land they stole into a ‘nation’, running around ethnic cleansing and murdering the Palestinians. At that time anti-semitism was a very real thing, quite prevalent, and not just a propaganda ploy. There is such a thing as genuine paranoia. I’d look to Soros before ionists as a greater influence in this, but I’d also look to ordinary cultural fads and profit motive by moronic ‘journalists’ and their bosses who want to make a buck.
You are making the situation worse by arguing BS ‘facts’ instead of working on the political propaganda, and thus playing right into the hands of the crazies on both sides — dividing people over nonsense. Will you next emotionally argue which end of the egg to crack open? Same thing — ignoring the meta-messages while helping to make mountains out of molehills, and letting those who do want to divide people control the argument, which is what they always try to do by pushing people’s buttons. They do the same thing in wars with proxy armies who don’t understand what is happening to them.
You must know about the hyperactive kid diagnosis — that fad still hasn’t faded, and there was plenty of money to be made from it. Pediatricians used to (probably still do) get free dinners and
discount vacations for prescribing whatever drugs the salesmen were pushing at the time – and it was advertised as such in the Journal of Pediatrics. Ritalin was a big seller and advertiser when I had a subscription to it, some 40 years ago. Then, as now, the answer was always channeling people into rote diagnoses and more drugs instead of treating kids as human beings, and I don’t expect it’s changed. That’s not secret zionist plot but the same capitalist garbage as all along — about the same as why you need ‘Zippy’ deodorant and ‘Stayneat’ hair cream or you will never get a girlfriend, and need a Chevrolet to see the USA. That’s the core of it. If the entire country was transgender it wouldn’t help the zionists or neocons take over or make the country more inclined to start wars to take over the world. It’s the money. Sex change therapy, drugs, operations, are a gold mine, and it distracts from major underlying problems in the social and structural fabric (such as dehumanizing the school system and alienating the youth along with everyone else). It’s not just sexual identification that gets screwed up, but personal identification and meaning — identifying as a free human being. Sexuality is about the least of the personal and social catastrophes the western countries are being boiled alive in, and is just more symptom of that.
As for the DSM, that’s about all we have now, as imperfect and full of nonsense as it is. You can argue that the classifications are way off — and I’ve done that — but at least there is something there besides ‘possession by demons’ or Kraft-Ebbing, or ‘female hysteria’ which is what preceded it. There is no solution in tossing out ignorance for even greater ignorance.
What I said was “1 out of a few hundred million”. That means there are probably less than a 100 or so people born that way in the billions of people on earth. And that would be classed as an accident similar to babies born without arms or legs. Of which there are probably more of them. Though that too is few in number compared to all births. We weren’t talking about frogs or some other creatures that might be different. But instead about human beings. Two years ago my daughter had a baby.And six months later a good friend of mine’s, wife had a baby. In neither of those cases (nor any other that I know of) did the doctor ,or the parents say, “lets wait for a few years before we decide if this baby is male or female. After all the child might not want to be called one or the other”. No,they told my daughter “you have a girl”. And my friend,”you have a boy”.I’m sorry if the most elemental things in humanity aren’t understood by some people. But you can’t get any more basic in humanity’s existence than that.I couldn’t care less what males want to do with males sexually. Or females with females.But I’m not about to “pretend” it isn’t male with male,or female with female. And create some “in-between” sex to make them “feel better”. There is way to much of that liberal “PC” BS in our society now. We don’t need more of it.
As to the zionists,they have been undermining our societies from long before the creation of Israel.The more divided,and confused we are,the better for them to keep control over us. Is it a coincidence that almost all the liberal “social” engineering in the last, almost a 100 years has had a large zionist component in it. I strongly doubt that it is. From mass immigration in the US from the 1960’s,to the “PC” movements today. To the propaganda we see daily,they have a large part it making it happen. You may not want to see that. But it exists whether you are blind to it or not. I do agree that money is also a factor. But its not the only factor. Those two are certainly not mutually exclusive in today’s World.
Consider actual figures:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intersex#Population_figures
Population figures
There are few firm estimates of the number of intersex people. While human rights institutions have called for the demedicalisation of intersex traits, as far as possible,[18][46][127][128] medical definitions are often still used. The now-defunct Intersex Society of North America stated that:
If you ask experts at medical centers how often a child is born so noticeably atypical in terms of genitalia that a specialist in sex differentiation is called in, the number comes out to about 1 in 1500 to 1 in 2000 births. But a lot more people than that are born with subtler forms of sex anatomy variations, some of which won’t show up until later in life.[129]
According to Blackless, Fausto-Sterling et al., 1.7 percent of human births are intersex, including variations that may not become apparent until, for example, puberty, or until attempting to conceive.[130][131] Some clinicians do not favor such definitions. According to Leonard Sax, intersex should be “restricted to those conditions in which chromosomal sex is inconsistent with phenotypic sex, or in which the phenotype is not classifiable as either male or female”, around 0.018%. This definition excludes Klinefelter syndrome and many other variations.[132]
However, many conditions excluded from Sax’s analysis are currently regarded as disorders of sex development. Individuals with those diagnoses may experience stigma and discrimination due to their sex characteristics, including sex “normalizing” interventions, and so those diagnoses and life experiences meet definitions of intersex in use by UN and other bodies. As a result, the statistical analyses by Blackless and Fausto-Sterling have become widely quoted,[46][133] including by other clinicians.[134] The following summarizes those frequency statistics:
Sex Variation Frequency [chart]
…
IN any case, your statement “But your “plumbing” makes you one or the other,no exceptions.” is clearly wrong — there certainly are exceptions. And as for species, humans are no exceptions to the ambiguities and variations of biology. Humans are just another kind of animal. Sex and sexuality is not a binary but a range, even if heavily weighted towards the two ends, and everyone has both masculine and feminine aspects (poorly defined terms to start with), and every species started primarily as female with male being a further development and differentiation — which can be note with men having nipples (and can even give milk under some circumstances), for one thing, and taking on ‘feminine’ characteristics with hormonal changes.
“I’m sorry if the most elemental things in humanity aren’t understood by some people. But you can’t get any more basic in humanity’s existence than that.”
There are thing far more basic to human existence than sex, and it’s much more complicated than you are admitting. Sexual reproduction is an evolved system, from early in the development of complex life, and it only needed to be developed well enough to give an evolutionary advantage in genetic distribution. There are plenty of more primitive species where is does exist, or exists in different ways, such as one individual having both male and female functional organs.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermaphrodite
In biology, a hermaphrodite is an organism that has reproductive organs normally associated with both male and female sexes.[1] Many taxonomic groups of animals (mostly invertebrates) do not have separate sexes.[2] In these groups, hermaphroditism is a normal condition, enabling a form of sexual reproduction in which either partner can act as the “female” or “male”. For example, the great majority of tunicates, pulmonate snails, opisthobranch snails and slugs are hermaphrodites. Hermaphroditism is also found in some fish species and to a lesser degree in other vertebrates. Most plants are also hermaphrodites.
…
These species are the roots we evolved from and we carry forward such characteristics, buried inside our genetic codes. All species are offshoots of the original basic arrangements and structures (such as DNA and chemistry) of the original terrestrial life forms. These are the most elemental things in human existence, or of any carbon-bases species.
As for zionism, it’s just another form of (extreme) nationalism and imperialism, which has always existed everywhere, and the zionists would not have gotten to first base if it didn’t suit the empires such as England and the US, who used them as tools before they turned the tables to a fair extent — as such proxy groups tend to do. The ‘Muslim’ extremists also started out as proxy tools of the US based empire, or as weapons of Israel using the ancient, world wide, ‘divide and conquer’ strategy. Do you see what was happening in Syria and in Ukraine, the empire and plutocracy exacerbating and supporting the divisions within, getting people to fight each other with ‘revolutions’ before trying to install puppet governments? Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn’t, and sometimes it backfires, but it’s a standard strategy of those who want to rule.
Once again I don’t care what anyone may “think of themselves as”,and how much liberal “research” they can conjure up to convince themselves they are or can be that. When I relieve myself of water,I “know” which sex I am. And having raised one male and one female child ,I also know how God (or nature if you prefer) made them.That is the bottom line point. Unless you yourself are one. Or have ever seen a person that was “born with both sexes” then you should know as well. If you want to be a different sex. I have no problem with you “wanting” that. I want a lot of things too (though that isn’t one of them),and there are medical ways to make that happen.But in the meantime,you are what you were born as,period.
Its just that type of liberal research, serving an agenda of divide and control, that is destroying all Western society. And just who does that serve? It serves those that wish to weaken and control us.It works so well (as even you,a valued poster show) we can be brainwashed into buying it.It destroys traditional families and whole societies.So that we don’t even reproduce our populations in the way God (or nature) intended us to.Thankfully at long last Russia, at least, is seeing that problem and trying to fight it.But we in the West are still being controlled,and don’t even admit we have a problem.While year by year we see our people fail to even hold our own in our nations,let alone increase our population.
So enough of worrying if Sally is “oppressed” because she isn’t Bill instead. Or Bill feel denied his “rightful” place as Sally instead.Its all BS,furthered by people with an agenda to control both “Bill and Sally”.Let Sally think of herself as Bill,if she chooses. And Bill think of himself as Sally if he chooses.But’s lets not Blue,think he or she can convince Bob that that is true.Because it won’t happen.And instead Blue and Bob go back to discussing “truly” important things again instead.
And could this gender stuff simply be or partly be a reaction in the brain due to the constant stress in society from over sexualisation in everything eg on tv, in society, films, prevalence of porn etc etc pressure to buy the “right clothes” etc etc boy is blue girl is pink but maybe just some people have a colour adversity which then has a knock on effect?
I think this comment (from the discussion under that article) nails the topic by it’s common sense:
“I do love it that effete boys who can’t get girls in high school now declare themselves to be preoperative transsexual females, never get the operation, then become/come out as, LESBIANS! Instant rock stars in a society encouraging women to try out for the Shrub-Scouts! For added acceptance, get your lesbian freak on with a transsexual “woman” with a real pecker! Oh wait, is that still lesbian? Can’t make this shit up. In our day, you had to be in a band, play football or have a pocketful of weed and a motorcycle to get laid. Hilarious!”
And by isolating this “issue” as some non-important marginality, you are confusing your understanding of the bigger picture. Human sexuality is one of the basic axioms of our existence. Once you infect even biology with the venom of relativism, then anything, and I mean anything is possible. Mix a bit of eugenics (pardon: genetics) in and tell me what you see…
Consciousness is composed of the relationships between various elements of existence (which can be considered as either physically based or energy.spiritual based on levels more fundamental than what we perceive as physical). Self consciousness (the ‘hard problem) is the result of reflexive and recursive feedback wherein a ‘self’ is formed which is subject to being focused upon by the conscious system. In humans this a development which normally occurs during a child’s early years as the brain matures.
One result of this is the existential crisis where the individual asks ‘Who am I? What am I?”, as the brain become able to recursively question what the ‘self’ is aware of. As the individual grows, this nagging question becomes disturbing, and one seeks a self-identity (‘know thyself’). In this society, the existence of an inner self — a questioning self — is problematic for those who wish to control people, who would prefer everyone to be a ‘zombie’ or ‘robot’ and just do what they are told, and exploration of the self and attention to self-identity is discouraged, partly by external distractions, such as consumerism, partly by pressure to confrom with ones peers, and importantly conform to the hedgemonic culture. How could they get young men to throw away their lives in meaningless jobs of drudgery or in wars if they become aware of themselves as individuals and question their self concept and identities.
So the true search for self-identity is repressed, and acceptable substitutes must from — punkers, jocks, techies, blacks or whites, boys or girls, Protestant or Jewish, and rebellion against the assigned identities is sublimated, diverted, to questioning ones assigned roles rather than the basic fundamental question. This is not necessarily a clever scheme by a few illuminati however, but the functional, evolved development of cultural and structural elements which has worked out over time for the ruling class (who have money and power but are no smarter than anyone else) — it’s more like how ants or slime molds learn to navigate to find where the food is with collective swarm intelligence.
So here we have someone who is searching for identity, and looking to rebel against the ‘system’ and climb over the ‘wall’. Differences between the putative identity and the longings of inner self tend to be exaggerated in the attempt to break free. Some of those differences will, of course be the artificiality of assigned, exaggerated, sex roles, so those can become a mode of rebellion, and a ‘search for the true self’.
Take it from there, Dr. Fromm — I’m tired out and need to get some breakfast…

Uncle Bob — we are running out of comment space here — no reply to your last post.
I’ll just say that the term “liberal research” invalidates that whole line of argument as irretrievably biased and invalid — as if one could talk about ‘communist arithmetic’ or ‘Presbyterian chemistry’.
It seems we have reached an impasse.

Ah, I am really in despair…
My political views, and my feelings about Christian-Muslim relations, are akin to the Saker and you guys — meaning that none of the American political parties are speaking to me. And I wanted to be a political writer…
I suppose that life is not about what you “do” as a career, though. It’s about your discovery of your self and the divine, which is always ongoing…
If I recall correctly this cafe photo was first a workingman’s all male cantina which appears to have been switched to a more lefty, democratic politically correct cafe that includes women. A sign of the times.
Another switch in my education is that this cafe is not actually a place where conversation around a food and drink table is welcomed. Too much cross talk during article-lectures followed by questions and comments I suppose.
Lest we cross talkers scatter to our websites if we have them or to emails and social media chatter boxes may I suggest the addition to our beloved vineyard of a conversation room where we can converse with each other without the lectures.
I skimmed through the comments, most of which are not addressed to real persons here but to impersonal topics out there somewhere. I prefer small communities where people get to know one another, whether they are physical or virtual. It supports one of my general principles–that small communities of people who actually know each other physically or virtually actually stop war including “the empire’s war on Russia.” In effect if not in the official policy suppressing conversation results in abetting war; a performance contradiction.
That being said, by reading between the lines I can discern personalism in the impersonal front. In the final analysis each person is the last person standing, or in the case of dying–lying down (or is laying down more correct?), The natural way to go is within a loving community.
I am not an analyst although it’s fun to play around in that sandbox. Nor am I a leader and certainly not a commander of anything, much less of a Love Army. Way back I tried to make that clear by saying that each person in the Love Army is a commander, if we must use a patriarchal term.
Apply that to Trump or Putin. They are strong and influential persons but it is the persons who support them who are the commanders. There is a conspiracy to dump Trump by censoring his free speechers, gearing up for Berkeley riots nationwide, impeachment and an economic collapse. He may stand or he may fall due to his own failings and the traitors around him. A thousand Judas kisses are required now due to inflation from the one kiss of two thousand years ago.
There are a thousand ways to exit the political world of power or to enter it and escape it unscathed. I have mine and you have yours. In a conversational cafe we bond in ways that do not seek to change minds but to share love. Thanks for providing that window of freedom.
P.S. ioan, I answered your post of 2/28 at 9:07 pm above with a non-answer per a mod’s request. Sorry for the cross-talk. Let the lecture-comment circuit proceed.
You seem to discount (or be unacquainted with) the idea of posting information and opinion for whatever interest or value it may have to whomever reads it. Information contribution, whether personal or impersonal in tone, persuasive or didactic — all information. If not of interest or value, no problem. No one is harmed. If discussion ensues, possibly there are people who learn from considering what is said.
we have to remind, we are here to live two lifes
a material and a symbolic life and a bridge might
arise between these different continents and a
new way of seeing might be experienced
the stage remains the same but something changes every week

What’s to comment? The orcs continue to slowly sink into their own quicksand, another inch deeper. In the meantime Russia issued unspecified warnings about letting the blockade continue, so it shows what side its weight is shifted to.
Donbas will never be a part of Ukraine again, after what has been done to it — the people won’t stand for it. It will become independent — just a question of who all and what areas will join up with it. The middle game is over and it’s clear who has the winning position, so it’s now it’s play it out to the checkmate or resignation.

“””Cultural Marxism?” What the holy hell are you talking about?
—Any liberal when exposed to the term for the first time
Cultural Marxism refers to two things:
First — extremely rarely — “Cultural Marxism” refers to the general application of Marxist ideology and/or Critical Theory to the social sciences.
Second — about 99.9% of the time — “Cultural Marxism” is a snarl word used to attack anyone with progressive tendencies. The term alludes to a conspiracy theory in which sinister left-wingers have infiltrated media, academia, and science and are engaged in a decades- or centuries-long plot to undermine western culture.
The conspiracist usage originated in Nazi Germany, where Kulturbolschewismus (“Cultural Bolshevism”) was used to abuse political opponents.[1] The Nazis being the Nazis, they decided that Bolshevism was a plot by the Jews. In order to prevent sexual/gender degeneracy, the Nazis also invented the feverish concept of “sexual Bolshevism” — in which secretly-communist Jews set out to fan the evil flames of sexual permissiveness.[2]
If anyone rants about “Cultural Marxists taking over culture!”, feel free to remind them that they’re literally spouting Nazi propaganda updated for the modern era.

[edit] Academic usage
Come back with me to a time when men were men, women were women, and self-avowed Cultural Marxists were self-avowed Cultural Marxists.
Cultural Marxists have long supported social equality. Beware!
In legitimate academic circles, Cultural Marxism was originally a criticism of the lack of revolutionary Marxism at the Frankfurt School by more orthodox Marxists and Historical Materialists; it remains an informal term for the school.[citation needed]
…
A History of Nazi Germany describes how the Weimar Republic brought about increased freedom of expression with modernism described by critics as decadent and irrational. Traditionalist Germans considered that this was causing German culture to decay and that society was heading towards a moral collapse.[4]
…
Right-wing usage
In current wingnut usage, the term is a favourite of Pat Buchanan and, to the most dangerous extent, Anders Behring Breivik. It is a Cold Warrior’s way of decrying “political correctness” or “multiculturalism.”[10][11]
It’s become a favorite term of many of the nuttier Gamergaters—demonstrating the movement’s attraction of many anti-Semites, white supremacists, and MRAs — to explain why those bitch slut whores won’t shut up about sexism in video games. They got their collective jockstraps in a knot when discussions on Wikipedia pre-dating their obsession with the term resulted in the “Cultural Marxism” article on Wikipedia being redirected to the “Conspiracy theory” section of Frankfurt SchoolWikipedia’s W.svg, restored after appealing to the God-King, no consensus after that, then deletion and redirection back to the conspiracy theory.[12]
The term is odious enough that people wanting to use it now apologise in advance,[13] much as nobody behaving in a blatantly racist manner will accept the label “racist”.
…
I’ve long been fed up with the garbage from the so-called ‘conservatives’ and right wing, and I am no less so now the ‘liberals’ and so-called left have gone over the edge and become utterly insane too — or even more so in some cases.
It’s not about ideology and ‘cultural warfare’, but about specifics, facts, critical thinking, and truth — as difficult as that often is to come by. We got the ‘left’ quoting garbage from ‘leftists’ and the ‘right’ quoting garbage from the ‘rightists’, neither of which have a clue what they are talking about and just make stuff up as they go along, about everything — distracting everyone from what is actually happening.
It’s like all the time there is a ‘story’, which is mostly just story telling and not real news at all, the ‘story’ is already pretty pretty moribund when it’s printed — dead in the water — and the flies and maggots jump on it — green bottle or blue bottle — doesn’t matter which bunch any one of them are with — and we end up with rot, fly poop, and bunch of new maggots ready to assume their places in the mass media (including the internet) as the next big ‘story’ comes along.
Just look at the comments at the news outlets, etc. (and RT is a great example fo the kind of morons writing these comments), with no facts or research behind them, and then we find the stuff on the scriptures of myriad blogs written by know-nothings, and, like usual with rotting flesh, it attracts more flies and stinks up the entire place. And the rare comment with some valid substance in them is as often censored or deleted as not.
Post-fact society, indeed. But it must be true — Wanda Faloosian, or some other otherwise instant celebrity or personality, famous only for being famous and outrageous, has said so, with some of them becoming wealthy and gaining powerful political offices.
Every year or so you have to toss out everything you think you know and rebuild it, thinking critically — defrag your knowledge base — all over again. Some of it goes quick, some of it slowly and with difficulty, but it’s the only way you can avoid being a mushroom. And Lord forbid you are making money or feeding your ego spewing out nonsense because then you become not a mushroom but a slime mold. The hardest part is waging through all the noise and nonsense all over and finding the obscured valid material, and then wading through it (like what what Marx did indeed write, and what communism is actually about — and it ain’t about gays or pussy hats or post modernism – not even post modern architecture — or the epistemology of reductionist and deconstructionist scientific methodology).
‘Cultural Marxism’ has no more meaning than the ‘war on terror’ or ‘Make America Great Again’.
A name/term is just a label. The key is the concept behind it. And each concept is constantly fluid, in progress.
Having access to all the info (and dis-info) we have today, and yet believing that the culture is evolving spontaneously, that I call naive.
And who cares, what Marx wrote or thought. That’s a stuff for a historian. More important is to know, how others took certain ideas, how they modified them and how they apply them (on us, the guinea-pigs). That I call a substantiated debate & having some practical meaning for us living today, and our offsprings of tomorrow…
PS: Don’t be afraid of the “conspiracy” label. You will always get some (and more than one, for sure!)
What Marx wrote is important because it’s still the definitive criticism of capitalism and how it exploits workers, has unresolvable internal contradictions, and cannot be sustained in a world with limited resources, especially where the primary way of creating or transferring wealth is extractive instead of productive. And *that* is precisely what is now hitting the fan and spraying all over everyone, and what is driving the constant aggressive wars, and military/industrial/political complex.
I’m not big on religion or scripture, but where it says ‘the love of money is the root of all evil’ that’s fairly close to true.

“During his speech, Trump paid tribute to Ryan Owens, the Navy SEAL killed in the January commando raid in Yemen that Trump ordered (allegedly). The highlight of the speech was when cameras focused on Owens’ grieving widow, Carryn, for a full 4 minutes as she cried and the house applauded her tears.
According to most of the US media, this was the point where Trump “became the President”. Pretty easy, eh? Just invite a grieving military widow to your talk (there’s no shortage!), turn the cameras on her and, boom! you’re “presidential”. It’s a standard theatrical device used by many US presidents, but it’s still pretty pathetic…actually, it’s not just pathetic, it’s monstrous.
The horror here is not just the obvious exploitation of the grief of a widow, or the manipulative way in which she (and every American citizen watching) is encouraged to believe the lie that American foreign policy is about ‘fighting terrorism’, it’s also the fact that missing from Trump’s eulogy was any mention of the 25 civilians slaughtered (8 women, one of whom was heavily pregnant, and 9 small children) in the heroic ‘raid’. It’s precisely this kind of extreme white-washing of the massive civilian death toll that habitually results from US foreign policy that leads the American people to continue to lend their support to massive civilian death toll in American wars of imperial conquest.”

Talk is cheap, the proof is in the pudding, the devil is in the details, the grass is greener, a stitch in time, Rome wasn’t built in a day, time will tell …….

I’m listening, 30 minutes in so far. Nothing new — the narrator apparently got bored and went for coffee and crullers. The whole trick is keep out of new wars and let the ones we got die of old age – and it not clear he will be able to — or is committed to — doing that, but even preventing a world war will be a deciding factor. Does any one really expect more?

Poll shows most people in most countries don’t have confidence in their government, their media, their courts, their banks, their corporations, their international institutions, etc..

Add “themselves”. And in most cases they project that lack of confidence to the rare individuals that are worthy of their support, and they won’t give it.
The fact that they themselves are broken and not entirely innocent is most often overlooked. To the extent they themselves could not lead, neither can they follow a decent leader. The problem works both ways.
However it is possible for the pendulum of consciousness to improve. When it’s falling, however, its very difficult to imagine it pulling out of decline.

Not Syrians Only: HNC Member Says Entire World Must Stand Up Against Terrorism
The burden of the fight against terrorism must be shared by various members of the international community and should not only be the responsibility of the Syrian people, member of the Syrian opposition’s High Negotiations Committee (HNC) Khaled Mhameed told Sputnik.
GENEVA (Sputnik) – Mhameed stressed that “terrorism is not a subject the discussions,” and so it must be “inevitably eradicated.”

High Negotiations Committee (HNC)
The High Negotiations Committee is a Saudi-backed coalition of Syrian opposition groups. The High Negotiations Committee (HNC) was created in Saudi Arabia in December 2015 and includes representatives of some groups considered to be terrorist organizations by Syria and Russia, and a delegation created following talks in Moscow and Cairo.
[…]
So what’s the story? It’s that the Saudis and other groups supporting the destruction of the Syrian government want other countries to join in the fight with sending military into Syria, with the excuse of fighting terrorists.
Pretty obvious once you know who the HNC is. And the US is already talking this up, about increasing its military there.
All Sputnik says is HNC is part of Syrian opposition — they could have made it more clear what the game is.

That sounds to me as the Real News (if true). And the more you unloose the knot, names and names and very famous names will pop up like a bubble gum everywhere…
Is it Donald’s way to catch his foes by their balls? That idea sounds good to me. But then I remember Donald’s trip(s) to that famous sex-island of that ugly pedo-trash, and my short-lived enthusiasm is gone…
